Chapter 189: The Battle of Hebei Slope (2)
"Comrades, I know that everyone is working very hard and very tired. However, what I am going to tell you is that in a moment you will be facing the main force of the North China Army, a mechanized squadron that has always been equipped with heavy weapons. None of us have ever seen their combat effectiveness, but there is one thing, their combat effectiveness must be stronger than the other armies we have seen before. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on himself, Wang Nanhu continued.
"Comrades, in the face of the army armed to the teeth and armed with a large number of heavy weapons. Getting everyone is like relying only on the rifle in your own hand, blocking the army without strong fortifications. If so, I won't say anything in time, and everyone knows what the consequences are. That's no different from sending people to death. I know you're very tired, but if we dig one more trench now, we might lose one less comrade in a moment. Comrades, get up, in order to sacrifice one less of your comrades-in-arms for a while, hold on for a while, let's dig the trenches first," Wang Nanhu encouraged.
"Comrades, the brigade commander is right, now let's sweat a little more, and later, we will shed one less drop of blood and sacrifice one less comrade. Comrades, get up, work harder, dig trenches for yourself and your comrades. After listening to the brigade commander's words, the guard company commander quickly stood up and continued to encourage.
"Yes, comrades, now sweat more, shed less blood in wartime, all get up"
Finally, with the encouragement and leadership of cadres at all levels, the soldiers stood up one after another, picked up the sapper shovels they carried with them and began to dig trenches. At the same time, a platoon of soldiers was also sent out by the brigade commander Wang Nanhu to prepare to dig up the road. Make the devil's car unable to drive on the highway and slow down the devil's march.
In this way, in less than ten minutes, the fighters stood just enough to dig out a trend, which was less than a meter deep. The fighters who dug the road 500 meters in front of the position were led by the commander of the guard company. Panting and running back.
"Company Commander Wang, something happened, why did you come back so quickly, has the mission been completed?" Looking at the panting guard company commander, the brigade commander asked suspiciously.
"Brigade commander, we dug only one ditch and are preparing to widen it. However, I suddenly found that the devil had arrived, so I hurried back with the soldiers. ”
"What, the devil is coming." Wang Nanhu said in disbelief. Quickly raise the binoculars and look towards the end of the road. Sure enough, on the road, a pair of cars were slowly driving this way, and the dust behind the car was kicked up.
", so fast. Comrades, hurry up, dig a few more minutes, in a row, go dig too, hurry. Looking at the devil convoy that was getting closer and closer, brigade commander Wang Nanhu said anxiously.
In this way, as the devil convoy got closer and closer, the soldiers quickly waved the shovels in their hands. After adding another platoon of fighters, the excavation progress was significantly accelerated, and in just a few minutes, the trench had been dug to a depth of one meter. At this time, the devil's convoy was already close to the place where the road was cut off.
As the Hebei army, since the process of occupying Hebei, it received slight resistance from the [***] team, and it has never encountered the enemy again. Just two days ago, I suddenly heard a report from the intelligence agency that a large number of squadrons had appeared in the Xiazhuang Township generation, and all of them had cut off a squad of the imperial army. This kind of behavior has never been seen in Hebei. When the news reached the Fuping headquarters, the commander was not only furious.
As a result, the enraged commander quickly dispatched a reinforced squadron to prepare to destroy the squadron in Xiazhuang Township. The squadron leader was fortunate enough to get this task. The reason why I am fortunate is because I have occupied Hebei for almost a year, and there is no war in my own defense area at all, which is very difficult for a soldier, after all, soldiers are promoted by military merits, and seeing that their comrades-in-arms on the front line are already captains, the squadron leader is very anxious.
After receiving the order, the squadron leader was unusually excited. Because in his eyes, the [***] team is timid and vulnerable. Therefore, in his eyes, this mission is simply to provide himself with the opportunity to be promoted. At this time, the squadron leader was lying on his seat, dreaming of his promotion.
Suddenly, a screeching brake sounded, and the untouchable devil squadron leader slammed into the windshield in front of him because of his habitual surname. "Baga, why did you stop, what happened." The squadron leader wiped his head and yelled at the driver next to him unhappily.
"Report to the captain, the car in front of me is parked, and I don't know what happened?" The driver looked at the squadron leader with anger on his face and said in fear.
"Nani?" The squadron leader looked ahead in confusion, and sure enough, the entire convoy stopped. Just as he wanted to get out of the car and ask what was wrong, Cao Chang, who was the vanguard of the team, ran over to the car he was in.
"Report to the captain, the road ahead has been dug up. In addition, we found that 500 meters ahead, there is a blocking position of the Chinese people? Cao Chang said while standing in front of the squadron leader's window.
"Baga, the road was actually cut by the hateful Chinese, and immediately ordered the soldiers to fill the road. Let's go, take me to see the blocking position of the people on the opposite side," As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Cao politely opened the door of the squadron leader's car.
"Yo Xi, go, take me to see the position of the Chinese people." Seeing Cao Chang's performance, the squadron leader couldn't help but praise.
Under the leadership of Commander Cao, the squadron leader soon came to the front of the convoy. Sure enough, as Cao Chang said, a ditch nearly a meter deep was dug out of the road, and cars could not pass through it at all. The soldiers of the avant-garde squad had all disembarked and scattered around the convoy, scattering in all directions.
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, right on the hillside, there is a group of china men digging trenches." Cao Chang pointed to the north slope of the river not far away and said. The squadron leader picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of Cao Chang's finger. Sure enough, there are countless new soil piles on the mountain beams, and you can vaguely find that many people are constantly digging.
"Yo Xi, we finally see the people of China that we are going to eliminate this time. I'd rather see if the man's trenches were strong, or if my artillery was strong. The mortar squad was ordered to immediately build a position and shoot at the positions of the Chinese people. The avant-garde squad is ready to attack at any time and eliminate the Shina people in front of them. The squadron leader said contemptuously.
After listening to the squadron leader's order, the devils behind him immediately began to act. The various squads quickly assembled to form an attack squad. Heavy machine gun squads, mortar squads, carried out their guys one after another, came to the front of the position, and began to assemble heavy weapons. Boxes of bullets, boxes of shells were quickly moved by the soldiers to the mortars
"Brigade commander, the devils have already discovered us" Looking at the series of actions of the devils under the mountain, the guard company commander said anxiously.
"What a panic, order a squad to stay on guard on the position, and the remaining fighters will immediately follow me and retreat to 50 meters behind the position to stand by, quickly, the devil will be shelled soon." Brigade Commander Wang Nanhu looked at the mortar position of the devil and ordered calmly.
"One squad will stay on guard, and all the rest will retreat, quickly, retreat," the company commander immediately ordered the soldiers who were still digging trenches next to him.
In less than a minute, there were only a dozen fighters left in the originally lively position.
"Your Excellency the Captain, the artillery squad is ready." The artillery squad leader came to the squadron leader and said.
"Yo Xi, start shelling immediately, let the people on the opposite side know the strength of our artillery in the Great Empire, and let them know what kind of fate it will be to be the enemy of our Great Empire?" The squadron leader said confidently.
"Hey, the lowly duty must live up to the mission, so that the people on the other side of the country will disappear under my mortar." After listening to the squadron leader's encouragement, the squad leader replied excitedly.
A dull sound of mortar ejection was heard, and immediately afterwards, a violent explosion was remembered in front of the position of the guard company. This is the devil testing artillery shells in almsgiving, announcing the beginning of the North Slope Resistance Battle.
Soon, the adjusted mortars began to shell, and groups of four shells began to fall on the positions that had just been dug up. To say that the artillery of the devils is really well trained, almost every shell fell in the predetermined position. A completely plum-shaped point of explosion.
In this way, under the precise shelling of the devils, the bunkers were directly hit everywhere and collapsed. Even more than a dozen fighters distributed in a trench nearly 100 meters long were directly hit, which shows the skill of the devil's artillery.
"Damn, the little devil's shells are really accurate, and the trenches that the soldiers have worked so hard to dig are lost under the devil's shells. Pity the squad that was left on the ground! I don't know how many will survive in a while? Looking at the fierce artillery fire of the devils, the guard company commander clenched his fists and said.
"Don't say it, let the soldiers hurry up and rest, as soon as the devil's shelling is over, let's rush forward." Looking at the guard company commander next to him whose lips trembled, Wang Nanhu immediately ordered.
"Yo Xi" looked at the position of the people on the opposite side, devastated by his own artillery fire, and the squadron leader couldn't help but praise. "Your Excellency the Captain, the avant-garde squad requests an immediate attack, so that the people on the opposite side can also taste the power of the infantry of the Great Empire." Looking at the position of the Zhina people who had fallen into a sea of fire, the captain of the vanguard squad also came to the squadron leader with excitement on his face and said.
"Yo Xi, you're good. However, we don't need to take unnecessary casualties, we will hand it over to the artillerymen here, and we will go to Xiazhuang Township in a while, and there will be room for you to play. The squadron leader praised.
"Hey." After listening to the squadron leader's words, the squad leader returned to his position in a huff.
