Chapter 112: Trench, Trench

Rumble......

"Onboard, onboard!"

On the ground is a pillow corpse, the Japanese army is crazy and generally impacts the position of the 7th Brigade, no matter how dense the firepower is, these soldiers who have been baptized by the emperor's samurai thoughts do not feel terrible at all, in the original Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army also used this crazy way to capture Lushun, and played the Japanese army's Hao Hao prestige. The Japanese firmly believed in rifles and bayonets in their hands. Less than two hundred meters from the first line of trenches, the machine guns covered the forward charge of the Japanese troops in the brigade.

IN ORDER TO GIVE THE 7TH BRIGADE A DISMOUNT, THE JAPANESE ARMY EVEN USED EIGHT 150MM FIELD GUNS FOR A DEEP ATTACK. As soon as the cannon was smashed, there was a huge gap in the trench opposite, with cement blocks and dirt splashing in the firelight, occasionally mixed with the screams of the soldiers of the 7th Brigade. Several experienced veterans squatted down with their ears covered, but the two recruits next to them lay on the ground.

"Fool, get up." The veteran scolded roughly, he had clearly said before that as soon as the Japanese artillery started, these guys forgot about it under the nervousness. The fluctuation of the air wave made the eardrums of the veterans who opened their mouths to remind them hurt, and several recruits lying on the ground were bleeding blood from their noses because of the vibration of the ground, and the lethality of heavy artillery was not only shrapnel, it was too close to the explosion point, and the shock to the ground was enough to damage the internal organs of these people lying on the ground, ranging from internal injuries to death on the spot.

Dozens of artillery pieces set off a frenzied storm over the positions of the 7th Brigade, and nearly a thousand Japanese troops roared and rushed to the first line of defense.

Boom, boom, boom!

Before touching the front of the 7th Brigade, a large number of fires broke out on the ground one after another, and mud and sand were splashed everywhere.

"Yaga, what's that?" Although he mobilized all the firepower he could use to cooperate with the infantry, he did not expect that in addition to the large number of artillery that counterattacked, the ground would explode for no reason, and in the chaotic battlefield, maybe one or two explosions could not be noticed, but a litter of several unequal soldiers fell in the explosion, if he could not see the end of the war, Ueno Kamefu would not be worthy of the position of brigade commander.

"Your Excellency the brigade commander, it's a mine, and the Chinese army has laid a large number of mines in front of the position!" Engineer squadron leader Liu Xinwei walked in stride.

"Cunning Shina people, you immediately organize manual demining! I will send someone to cover your movements. Ueno Kamefu took a deep breath,

Forcibly suppress the anger in his heart.

"Hello!" Liu Xinwei bowed heavily and received the order.

The 39 mixed brigade has only one engineer squadron of more than 170 people, scattered in the minefield to clear mines separately.

"Kill!" At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, a bunker was opened by the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, the machine gun was blown into parts, and the six or seven soldiers inside were either killed or shocked to death.

The bunker was connected to the new trench, and from the opening of the explosion, the Japanese army swarmed in.

"Quick, plug the opening!" Once a gap is opened, the crazy Japanese army will not take the opportunity to expand the opening, and the prestige accumulated by the Japanese army for many years will be wasted.

"Camp, get out of here, you won't be needed here." A company commander stopped Zhao Tieshu and said loudly.

"Stand back, Lao Tzu will dare to fight against hundreds of Japanese soldiers with dozens of people in the brigade, and now there are soldiers and generals who are afraid of a ball!" Zhao Tieshu snorted coldly, pulled out a grenade to calculate the time delay, and threw it at the bombed bunker, the grenade swirled in the air and landed in the bunker more than ten meters away.

Rumble! More than a dozen Japanese soldiers who flocked into the pillbox were preparing to spread into the trench when the explosion suddenly sounded. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.

"Well fried!"

"One platoon, drive out the Japanese army with Lao Tzu, and set up the machine guns in the back!" The platoon leader Wang in Zhao Tieshu's camp roared, and rushed out with dozens of soldiers roaring, and several Czech guns were set up one after another at the shooting holes on the breastwork.

"Kill all the little devils!"

"Kill all these people!"

The two teams of soldiers strangled together with two different accents, and launched a life-and-death struggle in this small space, fierce shouts and screams, and blood flowed from the pillbox to the new trench into thick plasma, and in a short time, the pillbox was already full of corpses, and the soldiers who rushed in on both sides had already exposed half of their bodies, and a large number of Japanese soldiers jumped into other sections of the trench. A bloody fight with the defenders of the 7th Brigade began.

"Brigade Commander Zou, it's almost, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it in front of it again." Jiang Li looked at Zou Zuohua next to him.

Zou Zuohua nodded, picked up the phone, and issued an order.

The construction of defensive positions, those new trenches, pillboxes are hardware, in addition to the need for corresponding communication equipment, during construction, telephone lines are laid to some important defensive sites. With Zou Zuohua's order,

The voice of the artillerymen of the 7th Brigade, which had previously seemed to be a little weak, suddenly became furious.

DOZENS OF 75MM CALIBER CANNONS FIRED ONE AFTER ANOTHER, COMPARED WITH THESE HUGE ARTILLERY, THE LETHALITY OF THE ARTILLERY IS NOT WEAK, THE REAL CAUSE OF A LARGE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES TO THE JAPANESE ARMY IS THE MORTARS OF THE 7TH BRIGADE, ALTHOUGH THE RANGE OF THE MORTARS IS NOT FAR, BUT ITS RATE OF FIRE IS THOSE MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY FIELD ARTILLERY CAN NOT BE COMPARED IN ANY WAY. And the creation of mortars is also much simpler than 75 caliber mountain guns, field guns. IN ADDITION TO THE 150MM MORTAR, THE 82MM MORTAR WAS EQUIPPED TO THE BATTALION LEVEL, AND HUNDREDS OF MORTARS OF TWO CALIBERS OPENED FIRE AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH WAS ENOUGH TO FORM A NON-STOP MOVEMENT. It's just that this movement is tantamount to a life-urging song for the Japanese army.

The attacking brigade of Japanese troops was blinded by this wave of offensive, and a no-man's land was cleared out of a no-man's land by the rising fireballs in the middle of the attacking teams in front and behind. The Japanese did not think that the firepower of the Chinese army would be so fierce that the explosion power of the mortars was not as powerful as mountain artillery and field artillery, but this saturation attack was the most lethal for the infantry. No matter how brave the Japanese army was, in the face of this level of attack, they were stunned for a while.

"Yaga, fight back, fight back!" Ueno Kamifu was so angry that he paid huge casualties, and only after rushing through the minefield did the first people rush into the trenches to start a white-knuckle battle with the defenders of China, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by this damn artillery fire, how could the China army have nearly twice as fierce firepower as the Empire? If it weren't for this damn shelling, the Japanese would have been pouring into the trenches and engaging in white-knuckle combat with the defenders, which would have saved bullets and solved the battle in a white-knuckle manner, even if the casualties were larger, Ueno Kamefu would have been acceptable,

At this time, the Japanese army, baptized by the spirit of bushido, was very advocating white-knuckle warfare.
