Chapter 50: The Bloody Battle of the Night
On the artillery position of the Japanese army, 4 Type 38 75mm field guns, 10 Type 92 infantry guns, and some 90mm mortars, an artillery squadron and two infantry brigades of artillery were assembled to fire at the position of the Sichuan Corps!
The deafening sound of the explosion sounded in the ears of the soldiers, who were clinging to their bunkers, not daring to show their bodies at all, and the shells blew up a huge amount of dust, and scattered them on their heads like rain.
Experienced veterans all put their guns downward, so as not to be blocked by falling dirt.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
Two shells smashed directly into the trenches, instantly blowing up several soldiers hiding in bunkers with guns, and the corpses were not a piece of good meat.
Although there was the protection of individual bunkers, the dense shells fell directly into the trenches from time to time, killing and injuring many of the unlucky Sichuan Army soldiers around.
In addition to the sound of the explosion, there were also many screams of pain from the wounded soldiers, and the other Sichuan Legion soldiers all lowered their heads and huddled in their bunkers.
That's how you fight with the little devils, with artillery fire on your head, waiting for luck like buying a lottery ticket, and being blown to pieces by a cannonball that wins the jackpot.
"Ahh Help, help, my legs! ”
A soldier with a broken leg was lying on the ground and rolling in pain, he was blown out of the trench by the blast wave of the shell. No one dared to brave the dense artillery fire to save him, and he was left alone and wailing.
"Whew...... Rumble! ”
Another shell landed beside him, and when the dust and dirt cleared, there was nothing but a pile of charred meat and a crater tens of centimeters deep.
Similar tragedies continued to play out throughout the position, and even with the cover of the trenches, there was no guarantee that they would survive, and the soldiers could only pray that the shells would not fall on their heads. There is no other way, the battlefield is so cruel!
Krupp was lying on the side of the anticline at the moment, and he did not dare to fire back, mainly because the maximum firing range of these dozens of mortars was only 3 kilometers, and at this time, when arranged on the anticline, it was impossible to reach the opponent's artillery position, and it was possible to lock the position by the opponent's mortars if he fired rashly.
Now it would be nice if there were a few Krupp 105 howitzers, and the devil's 75 mountain guns are compared to it, and that is Sun Tzu! Krupp thought silently in his heart.
The shelling slowly stopped, and the soldiers on the positions of the Sichuan Corps slowly showed their heads.
"Phew!"
Liao Mingyu got out of the individual bunker, spit out a few mouthfuls of sand in his mouth, and shouted around: "Herald, hurry up and let the veterinarian come up and bring down the brother who can be saved!" ”
"Got it!"
Meng was annoyed and agreed from afar. Then he hurried to the back of the mountain and beckoned the veterinarian's treatment team to start rescuing the wounded.
While speaking, Liao Mingyu lay on the trench and looked out, the troops charged by the devils had approached the distance of one hundred and fifty meters in front of their position!
If it weren't for the bad sight at night, it is estimated that these Japanese soldiers would be able to cooperate with the artillery to rush into the front 80 meters of the position, and there was no time to think about it, so he hurriedly ordered to the surroundings:
"Cui Yong, are you dead? Pull out all the heavy machine guns if you don't die! ”
"Lost Dragon! Your dog's machine gun company is ready, and I'll give Lao Tzu a desperate fire later. ”
"Dead, dead, you go to the north, you and I are each in charge of one side."
…… The order was issued, and the Sichuan army was united, and everyone moved to prepare for the attack of the little devils.
"Everyone!" Liao Mingyu fixed his eyes on the Japanese troops who were advancing in a skirmish line, and they were less than 80 meters away from the position!
"Fire!"
Dada......!
Boom! Boom......
Fierce gunfire erupted from the position of the Sichuan Army, and bullets whizzed towards the little devil.
Mi Long operated a light machine gun and kept firing forward, and dozens of light machine guns poured fire on the Japanese from various firing points in the position. Dense bullets blocked the space of dozens of meters in front of the position, and the running little devils kept getting shot and falling to the ground.
Shout......
"Grenadier! Watch out for grenadiers for imps! ”
As soon as Liao Mingyu's words fell, more than a dozen gun grenades bombed into the position of the Sichuan Army, and several soldiers who were lying on the trench to shoot were killed, and shrapnel flying everywhere took away the lives of more than a dozen soldiers.
At this time, the attacking troops of the devils had two squadrons, two 90mm mortars and more than 10 grenadiers placed less than 200 meters away from the position of the Sichuan Army, constantly killing and wounding the fighters on the opposite side.
And the dense firepower of the Sichuan Army also frantically fired at the devils, wantonly harvesting the lives of the enemy!
"Maximum elevation angle, 10 rapid fire, put!"
Krupp shouted and ordered the artillerymen. 10 mortars opened fire in an instant.
The mortars of the Sichuan Corps locked onto the enemy's artillery, and 10 shells hit their artillery squad one after another.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ……”
The 81mm high-explosive grenade is not comparable to the 50mm grenadier of the little devil, and the devil's grenadier and mortar were overturned in an instant! Countless grenadiers and broken hands and feet of the little devils were blasted into the air, and the flames of the explosion covered the entire attacking force of the little devils.
"Mortars continue to fire!"
The mortar shells of the Sichuan Corps bombarded the ranks of the little devils one after another, and the sudden shelling caused a large number of casualties among the Japanese troops.
Coupled with the terrifying and dense firepower, the devils couldn't withstand the pressure and began to retreat one after another.
"Ding, the host unit shelling killed a Japanese squadron leader, unlocking the German-made 4x optical sight."
Well, this guy Krupp also blew up a devil squadron leader?
Liao Mingyu was quite puzzled, he killed a lot of devil officers, and he never unlocked a weapon and equipment, but he didn't expect this fat man to come out on top.
"Ding, the higher the rank of the officer, the higher the probability, the more high-quality items can be obtained, there is a certain probability of killing the enemy officer to unlock the weapon, not every one can successfully get the reward, the host can only blame the bad luck for failing to unlock," the system explained to Liao Mingyu as if he was angry and couldn't pay for his life.
"Oh ......"
Liao Mingyu felt that this dog son system seemed to have an enmity with him, restricting him everywhere and not saying anything, and he was not happy to be angry with him every time.
At this moment, the first wave of Japanese attack was repulsed, and the devils left more than 300 corpses and retreated. The powerful firepower of the Sichuan Army made them run away without even rushing 50 meters.
"Veterinarian! Hurry up and carry all the wounded soldiers down! ”
Liao Mingyu shouted to the veterinarian, who was out of breath when he was tired, and a group of medical soldiers carried the wounded out of the position one by one with improvised stretchers.
Touch! Touch! Touch!
Not for a moment...... The dull sound of infantry artillery firing came faintly from the small devil's position.
"! Everyone hurry into the bunker, Cui Yong, drag the heavy machine gun down, don't blow it up! Liao Mingyu shouted.
The shelling of the devils began again.
