Chapter 403: A series of battles

Scarface hid in a cat's ear hole, feeling the clear vibration coming from the ground behind his head, as if there had been a great earthquake, the dull explosion and the acrid smoke that diffused were almost suffocating.

The heat wave from the explosion also rushed into the trenches, pouring into the cat's ear holes where Scarface and the soldiers were hiding, and the taste was so unpleasant that Scarface couldn't help but spat at the mouth and scolded: "Damn it, little Japan is so damn hateful!" Bully Lao Tzu without artillery! ”

Not long after the shelling began, there was a faint roar of aircraft engines in the sky, and Jiang Haidong, who was in command at the battalion headquarters in the town, couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, walked out of the civilian house at the battalion headquarters, raised his binoculars and followed the prestige.

I saw that in the blue sky, about 20 Japanese fighters and bombers formed a huge mixed aircraft group, covering the sky and the sun.

Jiang Haidong immediately ran back to the battalion headquarters, picked up the telephone that went directly to each company, and said: "Pay attention to all companies and platoons, the Japanese bomber group is about to arrive, pay attention to air defense, if necessary, you can enter the underground tunnels through the tunnel entrances of each position to continue to resist!" ”

After putting down the phone, Jiang Haidong said to the two heralds behind him: "You immediately go down to the tunnel and organize the migrant workers to carry the water and towels we prepared in advance to the tunnels below the positions of each company in case of emergency!" ”

"Yes!" The two guards answered in unison and quickly took the order.

The Japanese mixed aircraft group was approaching in a blink of an eye, and with the fire and smoke produced by the artillery bombardment of the ground artillery units as a clear guide, the Japanese bomber group locked on to the direction and began to drop bombs at high altitude without any effort.

One by one, the bombs began to fall in a free-fall manner towards the entire north of Erdaogou as the main area, and in the process of falling, there were bursts of sharp and piercing screams. Who! Who!

Boom Boom! These bombs exploded as soon as they landed, and huge mushroom clouds suddenly rose into the sky, and the violent explosion kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust, and countless dirt and gravel were wrapped in the shock wave and flew wildly!

Under the incessant bombardment of the combined ground-air firepower of the Japanese army, the entire town of Erdaogouzi was hit by unprecedented firepower, and everywhere was a raging sea of fire and the continuous spread of gunsmoke.

Jiang Haidong braved the artillery fire and bombardment, and followed the trench to the defensive position north of the town of the first battalion, and at this moment, another low and piercing scream came, and a Japanese aerial bomb accurately landed on the edge of the turret in the north of the town, with a loud bang.

Under the huge shock wave, the artillery tower, which had already been scarred by bullets and scarred under artillery fire, collapsed with a bang, and the officers and men of the two heavy machine gun fire teams inside all died heroically, and none of them were spared!

Japanese fighter planes flew back and forth at ultra-low altitude in the surrounding airspace to search for possible Shina soldiers, but because the ground artillery fire and aerial bombardment were too fierce, endless smoke and fire were produced, which obscured the sight of the Japanese pilots, and they could only see Erdaogouzi Town, which was shrouded in gunpowder smoke and flames.

Where can you still see the shadow of the Chinese soldiers? A leading Japanese pilot couldn't help but curse the bastard, and unwillingly drove the fighter plane to pull up and fly away.

The other Japanese planes followed, and they also quickly pulled up, and continued to fly boringly in the surrounding airspace, waiting for the bomber group to complete the mission, and then they could return home, no way, at this time, not to mention that the Dragon's Tooth Task Force had no planes to take off to meet the enemy.

Even in the skies over the entire North China and even the four provinces outside the Guanwai and the Korean Peninsula, it can be said that the Japanese pilots were in the back garden, and only they had the share of bullying the enemy, and there was no opportunity for the enemy to abuse them.

In order to cooperate with the bombing of the 5th Division, the Independent Aviation Regiment of the North China Front dispatched 12 medium bombers, and the bombing lasted nearly 20 minutes before it was over.

The Japanese ground artillery fire continued for a long time before it gradually began to extend.

At this moment, about three kilometers north of the town, the Japanese army's sortie position had already been prepared, and the thousands of Japanese attacking troops who had been waiting for a long time immediately began to advance silently under the personal leadership of a Japanese soldier.

Originally, the Japanese offensive positions were generally set up less than two kilometers away from the Chinese army, which could not only ensure that they would not be interfered with by the enemy's heavy machine gun fire, but also prevent the attacking troops from being too consumed because the offensive distance was too long.

It's just that now the dragon tooth unit of Erdaogou is equipped with 60mm mortars, although this kind of Cheng dΓΉ artillery is vulnerable compared with the Japanese army, but the range of two kilometers is within its effective strike range, so for the sake of safety, the Japanese army had to pull the sortie position one kilometer away.

Three kilometers is six thousand meters, and it is naturally impossible for the devils to immediately launch a charge, but to take advantage of the emptiness where their artillery fire is still extending and bombarding, they line up in a straggler formation, holding 38 big covers, crooked handles, light machine guns, and marching forward all over the mountains.

Thousands of people attacked together, especially the devil formation platoon was relatively scattered, and it looked densely packed with mountains and fields full of black pressure, which was very shocking.

In the crowd of Japanese infantry, there are many devil soldiers who are carrying grenadiers, followed by an ammunition man with a canvas bag on his back, they are the killer weapon of the devil squad to follow up the fire, the grenadier group.

This kind of two-person grenadier firepower group played a great role in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and almost all the Chinese troops that had fought head-on with the Japanese army suffered from it, and the grenadiers of the devils were extremely high, and they hardly needed to aim, and the hit rate of the small steel guns was more than 90 percent.

In the endless smoke of gunpowder, the Japanese army advanced for a kilometer, and at this time, with the reprimand of some Japanese grassroots officers, the devil soldiers began to bend slightly, accelerated their pace in vain, and continued to rush forward.

When the Japanese army advanced to within a thousand meters of the forward position of the second battalion, as the commander of the devil boy commanded the knife to wave forward, thousands of devil soldiers accelerated again, the jogging turned into a fast run, and ran towards the position of the Dragon Tooth Task Force, but the devil soldiers still maintained a posture of slightly bending down and bowing their heads.

Moreover, the running line is not a straight line, but a long-distance S line, which can help them reduce their area and chance of being shot to the greatest extent, which shows the well-trained Japanese army.

Feeling that the devil's artillery fire began to extend, the company commander Liu Yidao, the deputy company commander and the platoon commander Scarface, monkeys and others came out of the cat hole one after another, everyone was unkempt and disgraced, of course, there were also people who could never get out of the cat ear hole, because they had died in the bombing and artillery fire just now.

When everyone shook off the dirt and dust on their heads, they unexpectedly found that there was a stoic and arrogant figure standing in the middle of the first trench, it was their battalion commander Jiang Haidong, although his whole body was covered with mud and dust, he stood like a javelin.

Seeing that the soldiers came out of the bunker one after another, Jiang Haidong suddenly moved, grabbed his 38 big cover, clicked and pulled the bolt, and roared in a low and shocking voice: "Dragon's teeth are in a row!" Get ready for battle! ”
