Chapter 266: A Matter of Life and Death
As soon as the artillery fire of a field artillery brigade of the devils stopped, sixteen heavy machine guns began to fire suppressively. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the freedom shrouded in the position had not yet dissipated, with his own experience, the tongues of fire fired by the sixteen heavy machine guns still caused the second regiment's position to rain bullets.
Under the cover of heavy machine guns, more than 500 devils in three squadrons immediately rushed to the slope and began to attack the second regiment.
"The devil is ruthless enough, the first attack was an infantry brigade, this is to force my old Fan to take out all the family resources of the second regiment......" Fan Changhu, who was the first to break out of the anti-artillery hole, frowned as soon as he saw the devil's offensive formation.
The chief of staff who was following him hurriedly asked: "Regiment commander, the devil is menacing, and he doesn't take us seriously at all...... You say, how are we going to fight? ”
Fan Changhu only hesitated for a short time before ordering: "All the heavy machine guns are set up to suppress the offensive firepower of the devils......"
"Light machine guns and all riflemen, against the devil infantry! As soon as the devil rushes to a hundred and fifty meters, he will shoot me, and he must block the devil's attack......"
"There is also a guard company, which does not move for the time being, and acts as a reserve...... Fill the gaps wherever they are......"
"Finally, tell all the battalion and company commanders that troubled times use heavy codes...... As long as there are deserters on the battlefield who do not obey orders or want to flee for their lives, they will be dealt with by military law...... It is necessary to ensure the stability of the troops and that there will be no chaos. ”
The nineteen guns of the whole regiment fired condescendingly, and the arrogant heavy machine guns of the devils became intermittent.
However, even so, the more than 500 attacking troops of the devils still did not hesitate to kill the second regiment.
Soon, more than 500 devils rushed to 150 meters.
"Light machine gunners, riflemen, all shoot......" While the regiment commander Fan Changhu gave the order, he subconsciously picked up a rifle that was still stuck to the blood of his brothers who died in battle, and after simply aiming, he quickly pulled the trigger.
The gunshot rang out, and the devil who was trapped by Fan Changhu into the crosshairs. He didn't even snort and fell to the ground.
At the same time, five light machine guns and more than a thousand rifles were also fired.
Under this sudden and dense firepower, thirty or forty devils were knocked to the ground by bullets before they could make any reaction.
Of course. Devils are not vegetarians either.
As soon as the second regiment's counterattack gunfire rang out, the remaining devils in front of the battle began to counterattack.
While continuing to advance towards the position of the Second Regiment, he held his rifle again and again, and fired a lethal bullet at the Second Regiment.
Under the counterattack of the devil's accurate marksmanship, the second regiment immediately began to suffer casualties.
More importantly. As the devil began to do various actions to avoid bullets during the attack.
In addition to machine gunners and hundreds of veterans, the whole regiment can also shoot at the devils, causing casualties to the devils. The rest of the recruits have directly become decorations.
Under the precise blow of the devil riflemen, squatting in the trenches. Without sticking his head out of the trench, he just raised his rifle above his head and fired aimlessly at the front of the formation.
In this way, only God knows where their bullets went.
The devil was different, bent over, while doing various evasive actions, and continued to advance towards the position of the second regiment. Again and again sophisticated with a rifle. Deadly bullets were fired at the second regiment.
The bullets are not dense and a little messy. However, for every two or three bullets, as long as there is no accident, one bullet must hit the target, causing casualties to the second regiment.
Therefore, the Second Regiment, which was fighting, had an advantage in firepower and troops, and was still on the defensive side, turned out to be a little bit of an opponent of the five hundred devil soldiers.
Three squadrons of devils. All rushed to the front of the formation a hundred meters.
rushed the fastest, even when he had rushed fifty meters in front of the second regiment. The devil soldiers, who were more than 500 people, lost only one squadron.
The 2nd Regiment, which was defending the position on the mountainside, had already lost two or three hundred men.
If the situation of the battle does not change. Keep going on like this.
It is certain that in two minutes at most, more than 300 devils can rush into the position of the second regiment and strangle with the second regiment.
With the recruits accounting for the majority of the regiment, once hand-to-hand combat broke out between the two sides, it would be for the second regiment. Absolutely devastating.
After all, the devil soldiers they faced were all the elite of the Japanese army who were not afraid of death.
As the head of the Second Regiment, Fan Changhu knows this very well.
In order to block the devils and prevent them from rushing up. The guard company, which was going to be left to the last, had been re-sent to the battlefield by him.
At this moment, he thinks of himself as an infantryman, constantly shooting bullets at the devil.
Walking back and forth in the trenches, encouraging the recruits who are hiding in the trenches, to muster up the courage to stand up and fight back, and not to shoot bullets aimlessly in front of the formation.
However, the tide of the battle did not change much because of his efforts.
After all, it is a fact that there are many recruits in the second regiment.
Using a new group to fight against more than 500 devil elites was originally a very risky thing.
Just when the head of the regiment, Fan Changhu, had a solemn face and didn't know how to solve this crisis.
Yang Xingguo, who was in the back, was witnessing the entire battle process with his own eyes.
In order to relieve the siege of the second regiment, and also to inflict more casualties on the devils. Yang Xingguo ordered decisively.
"Artillery position No. 1, open fire immediately...... After five shells, quickly retreat ......"
Soon, the scream of cannonballs crossing the sky sounded above Yang Xingguo's head.
Because the mountain artillery company had conducted a test firing in advance, all six shells that roared to the target hit the target.
Yang Xingguo saw with his own eyes that when six shells raised six fireballs in front of the second regiment, at least thirty devils were blown to the ground by these shells.
Soon, the second and third rounds of shells smashed into the area where more than 300 devils had gathered.
No matter after thirty shells, Yang Xingguo is sure that at least a hundred devils will be killed directly by the shells.
Losing these who were killed and injured by shells, there are more than 100 devils left, and no matter how capable they are, they are not the opponents of the second regiment.
In less than five minutes, under the counterattack of the second regiment, the devil attack force retreated.
However, when they came, there were more than 500 people, and now there are only 70 or 80 people who have returned, almost half a squadron.
As for the six mountain guns that had just opened fire, although they retreated at the first time.
However, under the cover of the counterattack artillery fire of the devil's eighteen field guns, only two mountain guns escaped the end of being destroyed.
And the remaining four mountain guns and a dozen artillerymen, without exception, were all drowned in the artillery fire of the devils.
As soon as the three rounds of retaliatory artillery fire were overridden, the eighteen field guns of the devils quickly adjusted the direction of their muzzles and began to fire shells at the positions of the second regiment, round after round, as if the shells were running out.
At the same time, the loss of the second regiment was also sent to Yang Xingguo as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
