Chapter 214: This Is the Shelling (One More!) )
"Quick, all retreat to the anti-artillery hole, the little devil is going to shoot!" The position of the second battalion and one company, a main company, a recruit company, veterans led the recruits, and in the shouting and scolding of the squad leader, they rushed into the nearest anti-artillery hole with their guns.
Some of the recruits had never been on the battlefield and did not know the power of the shelling, and their movements were a little slower, which immediately attracted a scolding from the veterans around them. Directly, kick the recruit hard.
"Do you want to die, don't you hurry into the anti-artillery hole!"
"Fast into the anti-artillery hole, don't let the little devil be blown up without seeing it!"
"Woo woo woo ......" After the three hundred or so people had almost withdrawn, a scream came.
The experienced veteran in the anti-artillery hole immediately ordered: "Open your mouth, or you will have tinnitus!" ”
Before the words of "boom boom boom ......" were finished, a violent explosion was above them.
The anti-artillery holes beneath their feet began to tremble in the violent explosion, and the dirt above their heads, which had not yet dried, continued to fall from the gaps that supported the logs.
The recruit, who was still a contemptuous expression just now, turned pale with a brush of his face.
Hurry up and listen to the orders of the veterans around you and open your mouth.
However, judging from their trembling bodies, they were more nervous and weak than ever at this time.
From the moment the first explosion sounded above their heads, the violent explosion had no intention of stopping.
Less than two minutes later, beads of sweat the size of beans began to appear on some people's foreheads due to nervousness.
Then he asked the veterans around him with a weak heart: "Why is the shelling not over yet, our anti-artillery holes will not be trampled on!" ”
"Wait, how can the shelling end so quickly, the little devil is so rich, a shelling will take five minutes, or even longer!" The veteran comforted in an educational tone.
"As for the anti-artillery holes, everyone can rest assured. They are all reinforced, and the soil layer above is at least three meters thick, and the field artillery in the hands of the devil will definitely not be able to be exploded! ”
Seeing that the tense and dignified atmosphere of the anti-artillery hole had not been alleviated, the squad leader suddenly said.
"Comrade veterans took this opportunity to tell the recruits what they would have to rest for the battle, how to hit the enemy and dodge the bullets fired by the enemy!"
More than a dozen veterans immediately understood the implicit meaning of the squad leader's words.
On the battlefield, the most sacrificed are the recruits. No one knows how many of these recruits will survive the next few hours.
However, as a veteran, what you can do is to tell them your experience as much as possible, so that they can have more life-saving skills on the battlefield.
Another reason is that teaching them these things at this time, they must remember more than usual, and it can also relieve everyone's tension.
Ten minutes of shelling was more difficult than usual for the soldiers in the anti-artillery holes.
As soon as the violent explosion stopped, the twelve mortars equipped by the two regiments of the Imperial Allied Army immediately picked up and continued to fire.
Mortars fire with high accuracy, as long as there are no accidents, they can cover the troops all the way to 50 meters in front of the formation.
Therefore, as soon as the mortars were fired, the heavy machine guns, nearly 400 Imperial Allied troops began to attack.
"Quick, get into position and get ready for battle!" Although there was still a constant sound of artillery outside the anti-artillery hole, Yang Xiong had to order his subordinates to come out.
The attack distance of more than 200 meters is far away, but it is also very close.
If there is no blocking, the enemy will be able to rush up in a minute.
After rushing out of the anti-artillery hole in the face of the shells that kept falling overhead, a picture appeared that stunned everyone.
Of the more than 20 mountain artillery, no cannon fires three shells in one minute, and the total number of shells in ten minutes is more than 600.
Even if only 200 of them were actually smashed near the trenches, they would be enough to smash the trenches that were only reinforced with logs.
The first line of defense has two trenches in the front and rear, each trench is more than 100 meters long, built with the help of mountain terrain, one high and one low, separated by five meters from each other.
At this time, the two trenches distributed up and down were full of gaps and craters that had been blown out, and many places were directly blown up, and the trenches could not be seen at all.
Out of the anti-artillery hole, seeing this picture, whether it is a veteran or a recruit, they all gasped.
Especially the recruits, many of them have a happy expression on their faces.
Glad that he had listened to the words of the veteran just now, he quickly entered the anti-artillery hole.
If you had been a little later and moved a little slower, the fierce artillery fire just now would have definitely blown you into minced meat.
"They were all stunned for what to do, and the squads immediately entered the positions and repaired the trenches. If you don't have a trench, use the crater as cover and get ready for battle! The platoon commanders, scattered in the middle of the line, shouted.
"The machine gunner enters the position and is ready for battle!"
"Veterans take the new recruits and pay attention to avoid artillery fire!"
"Quick, follow the traffic trench and enter the position!" A squad leader commanded his subordinate soldiers.
Raising his pistol, he was the first to rush to the position.
"Be careful to keep your body low, don't stick your head out of the trench, the enemy's marksmanship is not patient!" A veteran frowned and reminded a veteran beside him.
"Bang Bang...... "But it was still late, a string of heavy machine gun bullets flew over, and the recruit, who had just exposed half of his head from the trench, had no time to retract, and before he could retract, a bullet cut off half of his head, and red and white brains splattered everywhere, and then fell into the trench with despair and fear.......
The recruits around subconsciously wanted to rush over to save people, but before they could move, they were stopped by the veterans.
"Don't waste your efforts, he has already sacrificed, there is no help!"
Then the conversation changed and reminded loudly: "Everyone has seen it! Don't stick your head out easily unless you fight! ”
"Go on, get into position, repair the trenches!"
"Woooooo At this moment, the screeching sound of a string of cannonballs crossing the sky suddenly came.
The squad leader's face turned white with a brush, because he knew that the shells were flying towards him.
Then he shouted: "Shelling, get down!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom......" The violent explosion directly interrupted what he had not yet fully spoken.
The veteran's reaction was fast, and he subconsciously lay on the ground.
Many of the recruits who were next to the veterans were also pushed to the ground by the veterans. But there are still many people who don't have time to lie down.
The shells exploded, and more than 20 fighters in two squads fell on the spot, five people, both veterans and recruits, all of whom were blurred in flesh and blood.
"Ambulances, stretcher teams, save people, the others continue to dig trenches, pay attention to dodge artillery fire!" The squad leader ordered loudly with heartache.
More than a dozen people rushed from behind, regardless of whether their comrades in the trenches were killed or seriously injured, and all of them were carried to the back.
Because, the blurred scene of flesh and blood directly affects the morale of the troops.
