readx;? Chen Yiding and the remaining 100 soldiers retreated to the second line of defense, watching the Japanese soldiers occupy the beachhead with cheers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And a few of their own artillery almost did nothing to attack the Japanese army, but instead attracted a retaliatory counterattack from the Japanese naval guns. The precious howitzers of these divisions were also drowned under the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army.

The second line of defense is much stronger than the first, and the trenches can be dug up to a depth of one meter and a half. Although the Japanese naval guns were still shelling the positions, the accuracy of the shelling was much lower than that of the first line of defense. Chen Yiding also arranged a battalion on the second line of defense, and together with the more than 100 soldiers who were withdrawn from the first spinning line, there were more than 500 soldiers in the second line of defense.

After taking the beachhead, the Japanese did not rest, but continued to open the way with chariots and pounced on the second line of defense of the Chinese defenders. The 87th Division's second line of defense was lined with a considerable number of firing points, and in the face of the cleared open firing range, the defenders were determined to teach the Japanese a lesson here. When the Japanese tanks drove up, the only six 60 mortars of the regimental mortar company, despite the shelling of the Japanese naval guns, launched the first attack on these tanks.

After three rapid fires from each gun, one more Japanese tank was destroyed, and the artillery fire also killed and wounded dozens of Japanese soldiers. The tank guns on the Japanese tanks and the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese troops also began to counterattack the positions and firing points of the defenders. For a moment, the sound of gunfire rang out on this small position. In the shooting, the Japanese army, as the attacker, and the Chinese soldiers were prepared, and the number of natural casualties was higher than that of the Chinese defenders.

It's just that the Chinese defenders did not have any effective means and weapons to deal with the Japanese tanks, and they could only deal with them by means of people carrying cluster grenades to blow up. After the destruction of a Japanese tank in exchange for the lives of eight fighters, the Japanese temporarily retreated to the beachhead. Chen Yiding and the defenders on the second line of defense also breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could recover their strength, the bombardment of the Japanese naval guns began again. Although the probability of these naval guns directly hitting the fortifications is much smaller, the shrapnel and huge shock waves flying indiscriminately within a few tens of meters after the large-caliber shells hit the ground still pose a great danger to the defenders. Fortunately, there were more than 100 experienced veterans who had retreated from the first line, and their words and deeds gave the defenders of the second line of defense a way to deal with such large-caliber shells.

In this way, Chen Yiding's more than 500 soldiers held on to the second line of defense for the first day, repelled six Japanese charges at the cost of more than 200 dead and wounded, and the Japanese army also left more than 200 corpses in the open ground in front of the second line of defense.

The next day, under the premise of continuously reinforcing the Japanese army at Chuanshakou, in order to expand the landing point, the Japanese army launched an artillery bombardment at the independent battalion position of the Wujinkou Fort and the beachhead at the lion forest at the same time, and began to rush to land. The fortifications and defenders of the 88th Division's first beachhead guarding the Lion Forest also suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of Japanese naval guns, not only were the fortifications destroyed, but nearly half of the soldiers of a battalion were killed or wounded.

In this way, this battalion still held out on the first beachhead for most of the day, repelled many Japanese charges, destroyed four Japanese tanks, and killed and wounded more than 100 Japanese soldiers, and only then retreated to the second line of defense when the dead and wounded were exhausted. When they retreated, a fully loaded battalion, with less than 50 wounded, and even the battalion commander was unfortunately martyred in the bombardment of Japanese naval guns.

However, the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, which launched an attack on the independent battalion, hit a hard nail in the Wusongkou Fort. Although the Japanese army had large-caliber naval guns, the fortifications on the Wusongkou Fort were required to be able to withstand the bombardment of large-caliber naval guns when they were built, and after the independent battalion took over, they were reinforced at any cost. Therefore, the Japanese shelling for more than half an hour did not bring much damage to the fortifications on the Wuzhenkou Fort.

And the fighters of the independent battalion hidden in the fortifications were also trained in heavy artillery bombardment situations, so the Japanese artillery bombardment basically did not bring any damage to the independent battalion. When a soldier of the 12th Wing of the 10th Infantry Brigade of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, with the cooperation of a tank squadron, got on a landing craft and drove towards the Wusongkou fort position, when there were still more than 200 meters from the shore, four Gao Ping 2 twin heavy machine guns of the independent battalion guarding the fortifications on the shore opened fire.

The 14.5 cm caliber bullets of Gao Ping's twin heavy machine guns were comparable to the shells of the 14 cm naval guns on Japanese light cruisers, and the thin steel plates of those small landing craft could withstand the blows of such heavy machine guns. The bullets from the heavy machine guns easily penetrated the steel plates on the side of the landing craft, bringing a storm of blood into the landing craft.

Ten landing craft were completely paralyzed by a metal storm in a matter of minutes, and there were basically few Japanese troops alive in the landing craft. When the four Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine guns stopped firing, the ten battered landing craft floated on the surface of the sea like dead fish, and at the same time, blood flowed directly into the sea like a stream from the gap in the landing craft.

After the Japanese troops, who were lucky enough not to die, reported these situations to their superiors on the radio, the report was sent to the commander General Matsui Ishine one by one. After reading the report, Matsui Ishine held it in his palm and scolded: "Baga! The hateful Chinese army actually hid a number of rapid-fire guns in the Wusongkou Fort. A brigade of our 11th Division and a squadron of chariots were shattered before they could reach the shore. Order the ship's mother, dispatch bombers, and use aerial bombs to destroy the rapid-fire guns of the Chinese defenders!"

The adjutant next to Matsui Ishine bent down and replied, "Hi!" and then turned to issue an order to the aircraft carrier. After receiving the order from Commander Matsui Ishone, the commander of the aircraft carrier Fengxiang immediately ordered carrier-based bombers to be dispatched to carry out the task of bombing the Wusongkou Battery.

Wei Erxi used a telescope to see more than a dozen black spots flying in the sky from the Japanese army in the fortifications, and after being taught by Wang Haitao, he knew that the Japanese army sent planes to bomb it. On the one hand, Wei Erxi conveyed the order to prevent bombing by enemy planes to the soldiers in the fortifications through walkie-talkies, and on the other hand, he informed the four Gaoping dual-purpose twin heavy machine guns to raise their muzzles and face the direction in which the Japanese planes were flying, preparing to intercept the Japanese planes.

After receiving the order, the four Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine guns raised the muzzles of the machine guns at the same time, and the raised muzzles were aimed at the direction from which the Japanese planes were flying. Although these heavy machine gunners of the independent battalion have not practiced attacking aircraft, they have all listened to Wang Haitao personally explain how to deal with aircraft, so what is the amount of advance, altitude, distance, these shooters all understand, the difference is only the confrontation between live ammunition and aircraft, and now the opportunity has come.
