Chapter 614: Sudden Enlightenment

The 3rd Regiment was originally armed with 30 light machine guns, repelled the first round of Japanese attacks, and captured nearly 20 light machine guns from the Japanese army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When nearly 50 light machine guns were fired, the Japanese troops in three directions had already been killed and wounded by heavy machine guns, and two or three hundred people were wounded.

Although the Japanese suppressive firepower at this time was still very strong, a heavy machine gun stared at a light machine gun or heavy machine gun of the Liaodong Army, and the third regiment still had nearly 30 light machine guns.

Under Huang Zhongxin's order, these machine guns exchanged a light machine gun position with a shuttle of bullets, and quickly formed an impermeable firepower network in front of the position.

However, the Japanese army's desperate attack still kept their defense line moving forward.

After losing nearly 1,000 men in three directions, the Japanese troops finally rushed to more than 100 meters in front of the formation.

At this moment, the riflemen on both sides directly turned into powder kegs that suddenly exploded, and quickly returned fire with their rifles.

At this time, the Japanese army was less than thirty meters away from the defensive line that the Liaodong Army had just abandoned.

Seeing that his subordinates were shot in pieces because they were completely exposed to the guns of the defenders, the captain of the leading group immediately shouted: "Quick, continue the attack, rush to the front, rush to the front trench and we will be safe, we can shoot at the defenders." ”

If he had trenches for cover, like the Liaodong Army, the casualties of the troops would have been greatly reduced. There were nearly 2,000 Japanese troops left, and with a little common sense they could understand this.

Seeing that there were three or four hundred casualties a day, he finally rushed into the position he had just abandoned. Then relying on the trenches to shoot at the three regiments, the casualties of the three regiments suddenly increased.

The head of the regiment, Huang Zhongxin, not only did not have any worries, but a sneer flashed on his face.

He decisively ordered to the chief of staff beside him: "Since the Japanese army rushed over to die by itself, then we will fulfill them." ”

"Inform the hot team behind to immediately adjust the mortar firing angle and cover the position we just abandoned."

After the order was given, many people, including the chief of staff, stared at the trench dozens of meters away.

Soon, a violent explosion sounded in the trenches.

The eight mortars defending the front took less than half a minute to fire nearly a hundred shells.

Soon, the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches were shrouded in thick gunsmoke.

Suddenly, an explosion that was obviously more violent than a mortar shell sounded in the Japanese hiding position, followed by several explosions, and several thick black plumes of smoke slowly rose from the smoke.

"It's done, it's done, Commander, your solution is done." The chief of staff exclaimed with excitement on his face.

"Even if the remaining heavy artillery shells don't explode, just a few heavy artillery shells that exploded just now can take one or two hundred lives of Japanese soldiers. As for the rest of the Japanese troops, we can completely hold them off. ”

It turned out that after the troops withdrew from the front position, Huang Zhongxin suddenly wondered if he could do something on the position he had abandoned.

As soon as the idea came out, Huang Zhongxin began to think about how to inflict a large number of casualties on the Japanese attacking troops through the trenches, and make the Japanese attacking troops dare not use this trench to hide.

At the beginning, Huang Zhongxin's idea was to bury some explosives in the trenches, because the explosives are easy to detonate, as long as the shells fall next to the explosives, the explosives can be detonated immediately, causing a devastating blow to the surrounding Japanese troops.

But after searching for a long time, Huang Zhongxin did not find explosives in the position of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade.

As a result, Huang Zhongxin had no choice but to replace explosives with heavy artillery shells with good fuses.

In order to increase the power, these shells buried in the trenches were all 150 mm caliber, with the upper fuse facing down and the buttocks facing upward. As soon as the mortar hits the butt of the shell directly, or if something that blows up from the shell hits the butt of the shell, it will detonate immediately.

Huang Zhongxin was very lucky, less than half a minute after the explosion just now, another series of explosions sounded in the trench.

The chief of staff next to him immediately shouted: "Regiment commander, five more heavy artillery shells were detonated just now." The shelling effect on both flanks was also good, and both detonated about seven or eight shells. ”

Huang Zhongxin was also very happy, according to the calculation of the 30-meter killing range of a heavy artillery shell, one shell could at least kill the Japanese soldiers in the trenches on both sides without a place to bury.

Now more than 20 have exploded, enough to cause heavy casualties for the Japanese attack.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhongxin, who had a smile on his face, immediately ordered: "Inform the special combat team, regardless of whether it can detonate the heavy artillery shells or not, after the mortars are fired for another minute, continue to deal with the Japanese heavy machine gun fire points!" ”

For twenty mortars in one minute, at least three hundred shells can be fired.

Even if a blind cat kills a mouse, it can hit several heavy artillery shells.

So, before the end of the shelling, twelve more heavy artillery shells were detonated.

After the explosion on the position stopped, the enemy and the enemy stopped and fired at each other as if they had agreed on it. Everyone stared at the trenches, waiting for the smoke to clear.

At this time, a gust of wind helped everyone. As soon as the thick smoke of gunpowder was blown away by the strong wind, a very tragic picture appeared in front of everyone on both sides of the enemy.

Just now, there was only one trench position, and at this time, dozens of huge craters with a depth of more than two meters suddenly appeared. Around the crater, there were corpses that had been blown up to pieces.

Because when the three regiments contracted the defensive line, the corpses of the soldiers belonging to the three regiments were carried to the rear. There is no doubt that the dense corpses that everyone saw in front of them were all Japanese soldiers.

Huang Zhongxin stared at the battlefield to judge how much strength the Japanese attacking troops still had, and ordered the troops to prepare to shoot.

No matter how many Japanese troops remained, whether they continued the offensive or retreated outright, as soon as they left the trenches, they were immediately greeted with bullets.

Compared with the third regiment, which was full of confidence and higher morale, the chief of staff of the Japanese army and a group of officers and subordinates under him all looked at the battlefield with their mouths open and an expression of disbelief.

After half a minute, the division commander, who had always been worried about the attack, quickly suggested: "There must be still rifle soldiers hiding in the trenches in front and not dying." There is no point in letting them continue the offensive any longer, and I suggest that they be ordered to retreat immediately, as much as they can. ”

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted and ordered: "Conspiracy, this is really a conspiracy." What are you still doing? Tell them to withdraw at once. ”

After the order was issued, the chief of staff did not relax and continued to order: "Since we cannot destroy this lone army, and the main force of the Liaodong Army is on the way to come, our next battle plan must be adjusted immediately, otherwise as soon as the main force of the Liaodong Army arrives, we will be attacked on our backs." The situation here must be reported to the corps commander immediately, and the corps commander will give the two divisions on both flanks an order to retreat. Otherwise, these two divisions would definitely be finished. ”

Speaking of this, the chief of staff slapped his head violently, and then said with a sudden realization: "I understand, this Liaodong Army is not alone at all. Their purpose is to consume us in large quantities, and then cooperate with the main force behind them, flank us back and forth, and destroy us. It must be so, all of us were fooled and lost seven or eight thousand people here for nothing. ”
