Chapter 881: The Enemy Changes, I Change (First Update!) )
"One heavy machine gun and two light machine guns staring at a shooting hole, kill the machine gunner behind the shooting hole for me!" A sneer flashed across the face of the company commander and he ordered.
"The riflemen all deployed, digging trenches in place, distracting the fire of the little devils, and forcing out the riflemen who were hiding behind them!
With the advantage of firepower, the machine gunners, who were hiding behind the shooting holes, were constantly killed and fell to the ground.
"Sir, the offensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, we only have three machine guns, even if we have the cover of a pillbox, it is impossible to withstand it!" On the wall behind him, a second lieutenant said with a worried face.
Seeing that the squadron leader did not speak, the second lieutenant added: "Also, when they dig a trench in front of us, they must be approaching our machine-gun bunker by digging through the trench, and then blow up our machine-gun bunker!" ”
"Send another squad up, suppress their offensive firepower, and then use the grenadier to kill the Eighth Route Army lying on the ground digging trenches! Stop them from approaching us through the trenches! The frowning squadron leader finally reacted and ordered with a calm face.
Only one machine gun can be placed in a machine gun bunker, and the extra troops can only enter the ground position next to the bunker and hide behind sandbag bunkers or in trenches to shoot.
There were suddenly so many little devils on the battlefield, and a sneer flashed directly at the corner of the company's mouth.
"Finally forced the little devil out...... The riflemen continue to dig trenches and dig through the trenches to get close to the Devil Machine Gun Bunker! Artillery platoon, fire the cannon right away, and kill the little devils exposed on the ground positions for me! ”
The devils hide behind and don't show their heads, even if they have mortars in their hands, they can't blow them up. Mortars can only work if they are forced out.
In less than a minute, three shells exploded around the bunker.
Although only one shell hit the target, the company commander still clearly saw that the shell exploded, and a bunker completely made of sandbags was directly blown apart, and one of the little devils was thrown high and finally smashed to the ground, whimpering with a whimper!
"Just fight like this, the artillery platoon continues to fire, don't save shells for me!"
"The Heavy continues to shoot and suppress the fire of the imp machine gun bunker!"
The squadron leader guarding the city wall stared at the battlefield with a frown, his face gloomy. Almost without hesitation, the artillery was ordered to counterattack.
The attacking troops had mortars, and he had them in his hands, and there were more of them than the mortars in the hands of a company commander. In terms of shooting, the Eighth Route Army is definitely not an opponent.
However, the artillery counterattack was like a punch on cotton, and it had no effect.
The artillery platoon kept shifting the three mortars in the firing position, and did not intend to fire at the artillery in his hands at all.
After moving to the new artillery position, aiming at the devil infantry exposed in the position of fried noodles is to fire five rounds of rapid fire, and then quickly retreat, not giving the little devil gunner time to counterattack.
After the sound of gunfire and explosions continued outside the east gate for almost twenty minutes, the squadron leader had to face an ending.
"Sir, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, I only saw them firing but I couldn't see them attacking!"
"The squad that went up just now has lost more than half of it, and if it continues to stalemate, it will definitely be blown up. In just ten minutes, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army threw fifty or sixty shells at our position......"
The squadron leader frowned and scolded: "Can't retreat......"
The trenches that the Eighth Route Army was digging had already taken shape, and they were advancing little by little in the direction of the three bunkers. If they were withdrawn, they would definitely not be able to withstand the firepower of the Eighth Route Army with only three machine guns in the three machine gun bunkers. At that time, the excavation speed of the trenches of the Eighth Route Army will be faster and faster, and it will not be long before the three dark bunkers will be blown up by the Eighth Route Army!
"But if we fight hard like this, we will lose too much!" The lieutenant reminded with a frown.
At this moment, a new round of artillery fire from the artillery platoon of the Eighth Route Army began.
A total of fifteen shells smashed into the position in just half a minute, and the surroundings of the three machine-gun bunkers were immediately covered with rising smoke and smoke.
Despite this, the squadron leader still clearly saw that five or six of his subordinates had been blown up in the shelling just now, and their lives and deaths were unknown!
"The troops exposed on the ground immediately withdrew...... The three machine-gun bunkers continue to hold out, and no one can take a step back without my orders! The squadron leader, whose face was a little gloomy again, ordered decisively.
The second lieutenant was puzzled and asked, "Sir, if you only rely on three machine gun bunkers, you will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"If you can't stop it, you can't stop it, it's a big deal that I don't want the forward position, concentrate on defending the city wall, there are many firepower points on the city wall, and that is our real defense line!" The squadron leader frowned and analyzed.
"Sir, wise!" The second lieutenant immediately complimented.
The commander of a company, who originally planned to consume a lot of them through the devil's forward position, saw that the little devil on the surface of the position had retreated, and immediately changed his mind and took the three machine gun bunkers.
Light and heavy machine guns and mortar cover, more than a dozen fighters holding cluster grenades quickly rushed towards the three bunkers.
The devils in the bunker are also desperate, they know very well that once a dozen demomen rush over, the end waiting for them will definitely be frightened to pieces, and there will be no corpses.
Squatting in the machine gun surface, through the firing hole, desperately firing in the direction of a dozen Demomen.
However, what made them desperate was that under the cover of the thick gunpowder smoke outside the dark fort, coupled with the fact that the Eighth Route Army in front of the dark fort was crawling on the ground and did not stand up at all, the bullets they fired had almost no results.
"Bang bang bang...... Ah......h
Suddenly, a rain of bullets flew towards the shooting hole, and although most of the bullets were blocked by the masonry next to the shooting hole, two bullets still penetrated into the bunker through the shooting hole, and one of the bullets went directly into the chest of the Devil Heavy.
"Yaga ......"
The machine gunner who was shot had only time to say these two words before he fell to the ground, crying for his life.
Taking advantage of the fact that the machine guns in the bunker were not firing, the soldiers who were crawling forward immediately got up and ran forward for more than ten meters, then fell to the ground again and continued to crawl forward!
The constant switching between crawling forward and bending charge during the attack was the most common training at the training ground of the new regiment, and each fighter had to run several times a day.
Now on the battlefield, they realize the importance of this training.
The commander of the first company was from the Northwest Army, and when he was fighting in the past, the troops wanted to take down a pillbox for the devils, so they could only send a death squad, holding the explosive bag and rushing forward, with almost no tactical movements.
As a result, most of the daredevils were killed less than half of their charge.
As for the rest, luck will be able to rush to the outside of the bunker.
The result was that in order to blow up a Japanese pillbox, the troops had to pay at least one platoon of casualties.
And the attack method in front of him directly made the company commander stunned.
I've always thought it was a showman's training, but I didn't expect it to be so useful.
It is a miracle that a squad of demomen, after rushing forward forty or fifty meters, lost only three fighters.
"Machine gun cover...... The artillery continues to fire, cover the Demoman, and blow up the three bunkers of Dogday! The company commander, who quickly reacted from the shock, immediately ordered.
Originally, I thought that I would have to lose at least three squads to take the devil's dark castle, but now it seems that one squads is enough. As a company commander, it is impossible for him not to be excited!
