The three infantry battalions quickly retreated, and Lu Xinghua asked the commander of the first battalion, Zhou Kai: "What's the matter?" Why didn't you rush up? ”

Zhou Kai said: "The Japanese army has a firepower point above the high ground, they condescendingly shoot at us, we have nothing to cover, if we rush hard, we will definitely pay huge casualties, we have no choice but to withdraw first."

Lu Xinghua picked up the telescope and glanced at the top of the Japanese high ground, only to see that there was a faint layer of smoke shrouded in it, obviously a dense gunsmoke, Lu Xinghua thought for a while and said: "Give me the communicator, I want to talk to Commander Xiao directly." ”

Before the communicator was ready, Lu Xinghua picked up the communicator and said: "Commander Xiao, our unit was blocked by the firepower points on the high ground of the Japanese army, and asked for fire support!" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "You immediately send the location of the high ground, and I will send artillery to support." ”

Lu Xinghua turned back to the officers of the artillery battalion and said, "Immediately calculate the position above the Japanese high ground and send the location information to the military headquarters." ”

The artillery officer immediately took people to calculate, and then sent the location information to the military department, which immediately sent the location to the artillery battalion directly under it, and the artillery battalion directly under it estimated the position and immediately reported to Xiao Yingwu: "Our 122-mm cannon howitzer can hit the fortress in the upper part of the high ground." ”

Xiao Yingwu immediately gave the order to open the cannon and told Lu Xinghua: "You should hide immediately and don't be accidentally injured by the shell." Lu Xinghua's troops quickly became hidden, and the artillery of the artillery battalion directly under them quickly covered the upper part of the Japanese heights, and the fortresses collapsed under the blows of the shells, but the fortresses below were hiding in the dead corners of the shells, and the shells could not hit, so they could only let the infantry attack hard!

Lu Xinghua looked at the fortress below the Japanese army and said: "The fortress below is far stronger than the fortress above, and it is difficult to fight. We now have two weapons to attack the Japanese forts, the Dragon Fist rockets and the flamethrower, the effective range of the flamethrower is relatively close, if we directly attack the Japanese fort with the flamethrower, the flamethrower will be attacked by the Japanese in other forts, so we have to use the Dragon Fist rocket to destroy a part of the fort, then isolate a part of the fort, and then use the flamethrower to attack. ”

Zhou Kai, the commander of the infantry battalion, replied: "We understand, we will attack with dragon fist rockets." The infantry battalion formulated a tactic, and several dragon fist rocket launchers approached the Japanese fortress under the cover of night, and then fired rockets, and one after another fire dragons pounced on the Japanese fortress, and the fire light of the explosion was exceptionally bright in the night sky.

The tail flame generated by the rocket after it is launched will also illuminate its own position, so the launcher retreated to the dirt slope where the troops were hiding after firing the rocket, and a company commander asked Zhou Kai: "Battalion commander, can our rockets destroy the Japanese fortress?" ”

Zhou Kai shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know if I can destroy it?" ”

The company commander asked, "Then what should we do?" To attack or not to attack? ”

Zhou Kai thought for a while and said: "Attack, try to attack first, and see if you can't shoot inside." ”

The company commander immediately asked the two soldiers to go out from behind the dirt slope and rush towards the Japanese fortress, but they didn't rush far, and the dense gunfire came from the fortress that had just been hit by the Dragon Fist rocket, and the two soldiers immediately hid back to the dirt slope and said to Zhou Kai: "Battalion commander, no, you can't rush up, the Japanese fortress has not been destroyed." ”

Zhou Kai said: "It doesn't seem like this to fight, we must report to our superiors!" Zhou Kai then reported the obstruction of the attack to Xiao Yingwu, and Xiao Yingwu said after listening to the report: "Lin Shuai, our offensive has been greatly hindered, and our Dragon Fist rockets have failed to destroy the Japanese fortress. ”

Lin Yuan frowned and said: "I thought that the Japanese army would be weakened due to lack of food and disease, but I didn't expect the Japanese army to be so stubborn, I really underestimated them." ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "Lin Shuai, then what should we do?" If our heavy weapons are not able to destroy the Japanese fortress at a long distance, then we will have to storm at close range, but then the casualties will be very heavy. ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Order the troops, suspend the attack, and let's think of another way." ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "But we have only been attacking for more than an hour, and stopping the attack at this time will probably have a bad impact on morale." ”

Lin Yuan said: "If we attack and cause a large number of casualties, it will have a bad impact, let the troops withdraw first, find the commander of the troops, and let's understand the situation." ”

Xiao Yingwu nodded, and then went to convey the order, and it didn't take long for Lu Xinghua to come to the command room and say to Lin Yuan: "Lin Shuai, the most critical problem now is that our dragon fist can't beat the Japanese fortress, if we can knock out the Japanese fortress, the battle will be much easier to fight, after all, the Japanese army is very tired now, if we are close to them, they will definitely not be opponents." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "You're right, but how can we defeat the Japanese fortress?" The mountain road is narrow and rugged, and our large-caliber artillery can't go up! ”

Lu Xinghua said: "Lin Shuai, please get a large-caliber artillery no matter what!" Just one is good! ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Just one door?" Why do you say that? ”

Lu Xinghua said: "Lin Shuai, you haven't seen the layout of the Japanese fortress, their fortresses are covering each other, forming a fortress group, if we use infantry to storm a certain fortress, then not only the fire in this fortress will kill and injure the infantry, other fortresses will also come over to form cross fire, every time you attack a fortress, you will be killed by the combined fire of the other five fortresses of the Japanese army!" This is exactly how powerful the Japanese fortress complex is! ”

"If we have a large-caliber artillery and blow up some of the Japanese fortresses, it will be equivalent to tearing some gaps in the Japanese fortress group, and their crossfire will not be formed, and our infantry will be able to rush up, flamethrowers, explosive packs, you can fight as much as you want!"

Lin Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, and he said, "Okay, I'll get you a few large-caliber artillery." ”

Lu Xinghua asked in surprise, "Really?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Then can there be a fake?" Lin Yuan picked up the phone on the table as he spoke, and said, "Pick up the 155 mm plus howitzer regiment for me and find the regiment commander." ”

Lin Yuan continued: "Is it the head of the regiment? Send me three 155mm howitzers at once, yes, that's right, split the howitzers into several large parts, and send them all together. ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he put down the phone and said to Xiao Yingwu and Lu Xinghua: "155 mm plus howitzer, it must be enough." ”

Lu Xinghua nodded again and again and said, "Enough, definitely enough!" ”

Xiao Yingwu frowned on the side and said: "The 155mm howitzer is a big guy, even if it is disassembled into parts, it is not light, how can we transport it to the front line?" Where do you put it? If these problems are not solved, the 155 mm plus howitzer will still not be used. ”

Lin Yuan said: "I have already thought about it, we will use all-terrain vehicles to send all parts of the howitzer up, as for the launch position, ......" Lin Yuan turned his head to look at Lu Xinghua when he said this, and asked: "Can you find the launch position?" ”
