"Hurry up, hurry up! The little devil has set off his cannon, this is going to attack again! Damn, if you don't come early or late, you just come when Lao Tzu wants to untie his big hand, and Lao Tzu's ass has not been wiped clean! ”

Huang Lebo scolded and scolded, bent down and rushed into the trench, sticking to the anti-artillery hole on the side, and slammed down the heads of the soldiers passing in front of him.

They came back in the middle of the night yesterday. After a day's rest, they all relieved their fatigue.

At this moment, as soon as the shells in front exploded, he immediately understood that this battle was not small, and he was the first to rush out and send the troops into the position.

In the trench below, the alternate soldiers and some Qing soldiers hid in the bunker with their heads in place early to ensure that they would not be injured by shells. This saved a group of veterans a lot of trouble, at least they didn't have to worry about delaying the frontal battle in order to take care of them.

The second company was assigned to the position on the right flank this time, and a whole company of infantry, except for one platoon as a reserve, two platoons of soldiers plus the same number of recruits and Qing soldiers were mixed together.

The advantage of this way of formation is that it can effectively control the inexperienced Qing soldiers. Those guys have no formal modern military training at all, and they can't even grasp the basic correct shooting posture. Not to mention seizing the moment to shoot on the battlefield.

This was Yang Hao's idea.

He has always been not very at ease with the Qing soldiers, even if Ma Yukun and Zuo Guigui's subordinates, who claim to be able to fight in battle, they still can't mention it. But since he wants to use others, he has to come up with some decent capital. It is enough for them to experience the atmosphere of a real battlefield and learn some means of killing the enemy and saving their lives.

So the old, the new and the white are mixed together. It is inevitable that there will be a decline in command effectiveness and combat effectiveness. Fortunately, there are enough veterans to hold the position. If the firepower is fully equipped. The lethality density still has the upper hand.

On the left-flank battlefield, a company is still the main fighter, and it is also equipped with some reserve soldiers and Qing troops. The position slightly behind the middle is composed of the forces directly under the battalion headquarters plus two auxiliary personnel.

Although the total number of them is the smallest, the density of automatic weapons is the highest, and Yang Hao's own guard squad and reconnaissance platoon, more than 20 people have contemporary weapons such as 56 Chong and 81-1 in their hands.

The Japanese attack had been anticipated for a long time, and the cannon sounded. Everyone rushed into position.

Yang Hao, several company commanders, commanders, and Shi Jianfei, including Shi Jianfei, gathered together in the anti-artillery headquarters, looking at the rapid and dense explosion below, they all understood that this time the little devil had to move seriously.

The Japanese artillery bombardment was noticeably better this time, and it was no longer a direct shot of auxiliary infantry, as it had previously proved completely ineffective.

Reinforced by the new twelve mountain guns, they concentrated a total of sixteen guns and concealed behind several low hills at a distance of more than three kilometers. Attack the left flank position with a curved ballistic fire. The shells fell so densely that some of the explosion points were about to be connected.

After firing more than a hundred shells in a row on a narrow strip less than a kilometer wide. Billowing smoke and dust filled everywhere, and the already unclear vision simply became a mess of paste.

Everyone else had no right to speak, and Yang Hao couldn't help but praise: "The Japanese are really good at learning." Although it is plausible to make a high or low every time, at least the speed of people's progress should not be underestimated. ”

Where do you start? Others are baffled. In their minds, the Japanese are actually very powerful, right? It has only been a few years since he worked with the Qing Dynasty to engage in the restoration of foreign affairs, and he dared to attack the Qing Dynasty. This courage, the forbearance and persistence that come out of the expression, are not comparable to the Qing court, which is an expert in the civil war.

Yang Hao reacted quickly, and immediately led the topic to the right path: "It seems that they want to concentrate their firepower to open a gap, and then disperse our machine guns and artillery fire, and gather superior forces to attack a little." Well, it seems that this is still their left-wing attacking tactic. ”

This time, he didn't have to sing a one-man show by himself, Shi Jianfei raised his eyebrows, and gave a suggestion: "In this way, we must have one side that is extremely tight." But whether it is the direction of the current artillery onslaught, it is still uncertain. We may have to be reactive. ”

Yang Hao nodded at him appreciatively, this is to the point.

He turned to several company commanders and officers and said, "Before judging the direction of the enemy's main attack, the defense on three sides must be strictly prepared. And even if it seems like the focus is going to hit somewhere, the rest of the people must not be careless! The Japanese have always liked to use deception, take risks, and win by surprise, and they can't be deceived by their false appearances! ”

Huang Lebo was dumbfounded: "Huh?! What's the matter? Is it possible to stare at the front from beginning to end? This is tantamount to pressing on the whole line! ”

"That's it!" Yang Hao slapped the map on the table, "The Japanese army has a numerical advantage, as long as they give full play, we can only fight with them once with the trenches!" I believe that after these two days of pondering, their commanders are not too stupid, and they can always have some lessons. This is evident from the deployment of its artillery. At least for now, we can't destroy their artillery countermeasures all at once. ”

Huang Lebo scratched his head a little: "This is a bit troublesome!" We have too many recruits, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it then! ”

Yang Hao smiled lightly: "They are not all veterans. Especially those people who were beaten to the point that they lost their morale, and they may not be able to exert a few percent of their combat effectiveness at that time. And the newly arrived soldiers, after a long journey, must be inadequate, as long as they withstand their several attacks, they will be weak. ”

Shi Jianfei added: "In addition, according to my observations, in front of the entire position, in fact, the strength of the Japanese army that can be put into battle at one time, 1,005 is the upper limit. They can't form a sneak attack behind them, they can only attack hard. When the time comes, it will be up to who can exert their combat effectiveness more. ”

That's good news, 1,005 divided by 3, but only 500. With three hundred against five hundred, plus the advantage of weapons and trenches, even if you can't attack it, it's not too big a problem to hold it.

"Also, don't rush the artillery." Yang Hao said to Zhu Maolin, the commander of the firepower company, "Your focus is to try to find out where the Japanese headquarters and artillery positions are. Then serve them in a pot. Front-line battles with grenades and the like are enough to deal with. ”

Others have no more to add. Briefly assign things that work with each other. They threw themselves into the trenches ahead.

Yang Hao himself also raised an 81-1 and took Shi Jianfei and others into the central position slightly behind. Their arrival made the soldiers feel a clear sense of relief.

Shi Jianfei was silent on the surface, and he was greatly impressed in his heart, and he really did something extraordinary.

With Yang Hao's current status, prestige and wealth, the so-called son of a daughter can't sit down, and he doesn't need to run to the front line of the battle and risk the rain of bullets and bullets. In these years, as long as you pay money, you can win people's hearts. Some of them are for you. Why should you be a big boss?

But he just did it, and from his actions, he could conclude that his professional Cheng was no worse than that of an elite soldier. It's hard for such a person to think of something big!

A commander who can still share weal and woe with ordinary soldiers under such conditions will surely be able to greatly unite the centripetal force of the team over time. It is better to do a career with such a person than to spend half your life in a daze and waste your good years.

Shi Jianfei took the initiative to pass five and a half half, and after quickly learning to operate, he loaded the bullets. Aim to correct the posture. In a short time, he did no less than the recruits who could only be trained in a month.

Yang Hao was taken aback. glared and said, "Okay, you, the foundation is really good!" It seems that in school, not only do you learn theory, but you also have a set of practice. ”

Shi Jianfei said reservedly: "Actually, I also interned at the Krupp and Mauser Arsenal for a while. I have some experience with guns and other infantry weapons. ”

This guy is really not simple!

Yang Hao felt more and more that he had picked up a treasure. If the other party just learns how to be a staff officer and uses his brain, or can only be a good auxiliary officer. But he can take the initiative to understand infantry equipment, that is, to really get involved in the details of the battle. Considering the whole situation in this way, not only can the real combat effectiveness of both the enemy and the enemy be calculated to the greatest extent, but when necessary, he will not make a big mistake in playing a cameo role as a temporary commander.

More words of appreciation need not be said. Yang Hao gave him a thumbs up, pointed to the figure of the Japanese army moving below, and said, "Okay, let's compete with each other later, and see who kills more enemies!" ”

Shi Jianfei didn't answer, but pulled the bolt of the gun with a bang, loaded the bullet, took a deep breath, and calmly leaned over in front of the trench, aiming down.

In the rumbling artillery, the Japanese attacking troops have already reached the front of the battle!

Guided by a part of the infantry of the 9th Brigade and most of the new soldiers of the 22nd Wing, the first wave totaled more than 1,500 people, and advanced in small groups in vague waves.

These days, Yoshimasa Oshima and they are not doing nothing. They not only summed up the general law of Yang Hao's artillery attack, but also set up a new artillery position and concentrated fire attack strategy.

At the same time, the number of defenders on the opposite side was also estimated, and the points of machine gun fire were outlined on the map, the location of the unconscionable guns, and the dead angles of the shells that the enemy had crossed the ridge and so on.

It can be said that the staff officers of the Oshima Brigade, who are good at mathematics and geometry, all put their brains into the operation. When Shibata Masataka and his people arrived, the problem of soldiers and artillery that he lacked the most was solved, and he attacked again, with greater certainty than before.

The concentration of the sixteen mountain guns not only completely blocked the unconscionable guns and machine guns in that area, but also prevented them from forming fire support in the middle and even below. The smoke and dust that obscures the view provide excellent cover for the attacking troops.

There is even one, but they used two days to cut down trees and collect sacks, and they actually made more than a dozen "soil tanks"!

That's right, it's this kind of magical thing. Use a wheelbarrow or a two-wheeled ground row car or a four-wheeled flat cart, nail a thick layer of wood in front, and put up a frame with at least three layers of quilts splashed with water, mixed with half a foot of sand in the middle. Press on top of a sandbag. The thickness of the entire protection is more than half a meter, and although it cannot carry the shells, it can block most rifle bullets.

For such a heavy thing, the two-wheeled car needs four people to push, and the Taiping car needs eight people to take turns. Two soldiers in the compartment were side-by-side, firing constantly from their rifles.

The bunch of things grunted forward and stumbled along the foot of the rugged hill under the archway, forming a wall that seemed to be impenetrable for a short time! (To be continued......)
