Chapter 258: The Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain (4)

Zhao Dengyu, who received the order, felt a warm current in his heart, Deputy Division Commander Liu is really a caring person, put himself in the shoes of the 113th Brigade, if this battle is not fought well, he will be ashamed of his thoughts.

He formed a reinforced regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness with the brigade's machine gun battalion and the brigade headquarters guard battalion, and selected 10 mortars, six heavy machine guns, and 20 Czech light machine guns from this batch of weapons.

As a professional soldier, he knows very well that fighting positional blocking warfare consumes the most ammunition, and in addition, he specially instructed the soldiers to bring more grenades and grenades, which are sometimes better than anything else.

When Zhao Dengyu pulled the troops up, the first independent brigade had already built a position on the front line, and four regiments were deployed on the front line at the same time.

How come the senior officers of the independent division are so young, the deputy commander is not enough, that is a legend, the two in front of him are both with the rank of major general, and they are never more than thirty years old, in comparison, he is a big brother, in the 29th Army, he is still a young man.

No matter how young you are, the level is there, Zhao Dengyu immediately stood upright, and the standard military salute: "Report to Chief of Staff Feng, the 113th Brigade of the 29th Army was ordered to arrive, ask for instructions, brigade commander Zhao Dengyu." ”

Feng Jiwu didn't have too much politeness, the military situation was urgent, more than 20,000 bandits and more than 3,600 Japanese troops were already staring at him like wolves, and immediately arranged the defense line of the 113th Brigade.

According to the plan, all the four regiments of the 1st Independent Brigade will form two blocking lines, and each line of defense will be equipped with two regiments of troops, in order to increase the depth of defense, and the remaining troops of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigades and special detachments will be used as strategic reserves.

Now that the 113th Brigade has come up, Feng Jiwu has a lot of troops at hand, and he is ready to use Zhao Dengyu's troops as reserves, and the two regiments of the 1st Cavalry Brigade will respectively guard the two flanks of the main defensive position to prevent bandit troops, divide troops into detours, and threaten the safety of the troops.

This was also done in consideration of the fact that there was a certain gap between the troops of the 29th Army and the troops of the Independent Division in terms of comprehensive elements, and this kind of positional defensive warfare was the most test of the courage of the troops, and in the face of the turbulent attacking troops like waves and volcanic eruption-like artillery fire, they could not retreat a single step.

This is not the purpose of Zhao Dengyu's request to join the war, he said to Feng Jiwu without reservation about his thoughts, everyone is a soldier, if you have anything to say, you can't beat around the bush, the 113th Brigade came to fight this time, and I don't want to be protected like a child.

Feng Jiwu thought about it for a while, agreed to Zhao Dengyu's request, and arranged the 113th Brigade on the right flank of the defense line, and the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Independent Brigade to defend together.

Zhao Dengyu pulled the troops into the position, entered the fortifications that had been dug by the Fourth Regiment of the 1st Brigade, and saw the defensive positions built by the Independent Division, he was dumbfounded, and he also understood why the senior commander of the Independent Division took the 113th Brigade as a reserve.

This kind of defensive position, which he had never seen before, had three lines of defense in front and back, and they were low in front and high in the rear, one was one and a half meters higher than the other, and the distance between the three fortifications was a hundred meters each, and the distance between them was completely open, which made the attacking side forced to constantly attack one artificial obstacle after another, which not only slowed down the speed of the attack, but also, when passing through the open ground, it would be killed and wounded by the defenders.

There are many curved communication trenches between the fortifications, which are convenient for transporting troops to each line of defense, or replenishing ammunition, and can protect soldiers from the fire of the attacking side, and the second and third lines of defense can provide effective fire support for the first line of defense.

There are all kinds of firepower points and anti-artillery holes, and what makes Zhao Dengyu feel strange is that Brigade Commander Li actually deployed mortars in the second line of defense, according to convention, mortars can provide fire support or artillery suppression, and should be equipped with the rear of the position, such an arrangement is unheard of.

How did the independent division build such a complete fortification in a short period of time, he couldn't help but ask the commander of the third regiment next to him, and the commander of the third regiment proudly told him, this is the division commander's original defense method, when fighting with the little devils in the northeast, this defense method was not used, it was very effective, Brigade Commander Zhao, you should be optimistic

In the daily training of our independent division, we regard earthwork as a major training subject, and how to build the best defensive position in the shortest time according to what terrain and soil quality, the soldiers have long been familiar with the road, and they do not need to worry about officers at all levels, they all know what to do.

Zhao Dengyu had no choice but to follow the defense method of the independent division and arrange the mortars of the machine gun battalion in the second line of defense.

The bandits shot while running, shouting loudly in their mouths, the momentum was amazing, the bullets flew by the top of the soldiers' heads, seeing that the bandits were getting closer and closer, they still did not receive the order to shoot, the soldiers of the 113th Brigade were nervous and almost out of breath, they had never seen such a battle, the enemy was about to rush in front of them, and they were not allowed to shoot.

Two red flares, rising in the night sky, the defensive position of the independent division, was activated in an instant, and hundreds of mortars of the second line of defense began to shell at the same time, raining shells, dragging dark red tail flames, drawing a graceful arc, falling in the bandits' charging ranks.

Zhao Dengyu was a little incomprehensible, the battle began, the first line of defense, should be the first to fire, how can there be a reason that the front is not fighting, but the back wants to fight.

Moreover, there was also a problem with the landing point of this shell, not to stop the bandits from charging, as if they were driving the bandits to step up their charge, and the shells fell behind the first wave of bandits, but the second wave of bandits was blown up on their backs and the formation was scattered.

The dense artillery fire, behind the first wave of charging bandits, formed a wall of fire, completely isolated the first wave of charging bandits and the follow-up troops, and in the night, the flames of the explosion rose into the sky, and the bandits were blown into the sky in piles.

The bandits who charged in front were secretly happy, and they all said that the independent division was powerful, and it was not good to look at it, and the cannon hit the head accurately, they all fell behind, and the guys who were afraid of death and did not dare to charge were unlucky, and they wanted to save their lives, but they didn't expect that they would suffer shells for us.

The bandits are less than 100 meters away from the first line of defense, and there are more than 3,000 bandits who rushed up.

When the bandits were still more than 50 meters away from the first fortification, the silent fortifications suddenly broke out, like a whirlwind blowing on the flat ground, and the bullets like a torrential rain instantly submerged more than 3,000 bandits.

The roar of light and heavy machine guns sent a series of wounding and deadly fire slips into the body of the bandits, and in the night, the flames spewed out from the muzzle of the guns, more than a foot long, like the scythe of death, harvesting the lives of the sinful.

The strange thing is that the third line of defense has not been fired yet, so close, such a dense firepower, more than 3,000 bandits, more than half of them were killed on the spot, and the rest were suppressed by fire, using the corpses of their accomplices as cover, lying on the ground tightly, not daring to move, the grenades of the fighters did not let them go, and from time to time there were bandits lying on the ground, which were blown into pieces by grenades.

These bandits, they have the heart to cry, they are really bad, who trained these soldiers, such a close distance, it is to fight us to the death, those who have not fought like this, they don't even give back the mobile phone, I don't accept it

Feng Jiwu, who had been observing the battlefield situation in the concealment department, looked at the long lens, and was attracted by a strange phenomenon, through the smoke of the artillery shell explosion, the thousands of people who followed behind the large group of bandits, at first glance, were trained regular troops, their tactical movements were very skillful, and the formation was not chaotic.

These guys did not charge with the large bandits, but outside the range of artillery fire, stopped to build positions, Type 92 infantry guns and mountain artillery, there are also more than 30 guns, the muzzles are raised, pointing to the defensive position of the independent division, a group of people are busy there, looking like that, preparing for the shelling.

These guys can't be the devil wing reported by the division commander, right? They built artillery positions at the front line, and they were not afraid that when the bandits charged, the shells would accidentally injure their own people? Devil officer, you can't be so devoid of military common sense, right?

Feng Jiwu shuddered suddenly, he completely understood, the devil artillery, this was taking advantage of the fact that the troops and bandits were mixed together, and the soldiers were in the battle position, suddenly began to shell, so that the soldiers had no time to dodge the artillery fire, and gave the troops the greatest damage, the little devil was really vicious, and he came up with such a trick without humanity.

He hurriedly ordered the messengers to inform all the troops of the first and second lines of defense to immediately withdraw to the third line of defense, and not hesitate to resolutely carry out the order.

Subsequently, he ordered the mountain artillery and field artillery to pay attention to the direction of the devil's artillery position, and once it was determined, immediately destroy it with intensive artillery fire, and never allow the devil's artillery to have a second chance to open fire.

After giving the order, he nervously observed the movement of the troops, and Zhao Dengyu, who was very puzzled, and the officers and soldiers of the 113th Brigade reluctantly withdrew from the position.

A counter-charge, these bandits are all over, the independent division is fighting like this, it is full of evil sects, and I don't know how they fought with the Japanese for several years in the northeast? Looking at the troops of the independent division, carrying light and heavy weapons, and giving the order to evacuate quickly and quickly without hesitation, Zhao Dengyu knew that the military order was like a mountain.

Zhao Dengyu, who retreated to the third fortification, grabbed the phone and directly asked Feng Jiwu for battle.
