Chapter 351
The shelling lasted 15 minutes and finally ended, and before the fighters could catch their breath, a warning came from the forward observation post that the Japanese had begun to attack.
Ignoring the mud all over their bodies, the soldiers came out of the individual anti-artillery pit one after another.
"Arrange, arm! Those who are still panting quickly move! โ
"The people in the creeping pit are in place quickly, and don't pile up things in the traffic trench for Lao Tzu to move into the trench!"
"The machine gunner arranges the firing points, the first two and the second and the second scatter points, don't play with the fire and pay attention to ammunition consumption."
The rain kept falling, but the position was crowded, and under the command of the officers, the soldiers quickly lay down on the trenches and took their positions, not afraid of the raindrops drenching their bodies.
The heavy rain inconvenienced the defense, but it also made the Japanese attack more difficult, and the attacking troops of the little devils marched the muddy roads, and occasionally one or two slipped and fell in the mud, and the scene was somewhat chaotic.
Bu Lai had already thrown away the cigarette butt, and at this moment he was lying in the lone pit with a telescope and watching, and the scene below the mountain was extremely blurry because of the cover of the rain, and he couldn't see where the enemy had rushed at all.
"It's not spicy, have the mines been planted?"
At this time, Meng was annoyed and led people to the front line, and it was hazy at a glance, and he could still see the situation in front clearly.
Bu Lai glanced back at him, wiped his face 9 The rain on the 9 said casually: "It's all buried, and the three-pronged trouser fortification has also been sent over, but I'm afraid that the two platoons won't be able to hold it for long..."
"What three-pronged trousers? It's called a Y-shaped fortification, and I guess I took a plane to go there when I was lecturing. Meng was annoyed and gave him a speechless look.
At the intersection of the Twin Peaks Mountain, there was an open field, but it became the weak point of the entire position, and if the Japanese attacked the two hills and then concentrated their forces to attack the center, it was easy to drive straight into the rear and threaten the rear of the troops.
But the terrain here is gentle, there is not much to cover, and the defensive forces become a living target for the enemy, and if there are few, they will not be effective, which is very uncomfortable.
So Meng was bored and thought about it, and decided to use a kind of position fortification that Liao Mingyu had taught before: a Y-shaped defensive position.
Setting up such a defensive position is very simple, the only thing that needs to be known is the overall defensive position and the direction of the enemy's attack, a Y-shaped position can be defended with a platoon.
The first squad was defended at 60 degrees from the defensive direction, the second squad was defended at 80 degrees, and the third squad was defended at 300 degrees, and the platoon command post was set up in the center and apex of the position.
If you look at the whole position from the air like the shape of a Mercedes-Benz logo, the long line of defense extends to three directions with a central point, and the trenches on each line of defense are not connected, and a double fortification is built every 30 meters in the squad defense position, or a combat position of two to four people is used as a group, and a solid defense system is formed with machine guns, rocket launchers, mortars and other firepower.
At both ends of each line of defense were rifle positions, with artillery and anti-tank positions near the center, and machine-gun positions near the apex, and the main direction of machine-gun fire was also the main defensive direction of the infantry squad.
When the enemy attacked the position, he had to face two infantry squads at the same time, and no matter which direction he attacked, he would be met with cross-fire and flanking from both squads.
Moreover, each two-man fortification was far apart, and even large-caliber shells could not destroy two positions at the same time, which increased the overall survivability of the defensive line.
In particular, the Y-shaped defensive position can implement a 360-degree circular defense on flat terrain, without the need for detachments to move to reserve positions or auxiliary positions under enemy fire.
However, the top of the three lines is the weak point of the firepower of the entire position, and if the opponent concentrates his forces to attack one place, it is very likely to break through the defensive line, and all minefields and false fortifications are set up at each apex to confuse and block the enemy.
A well-trained and disciplined infantry platoon can easily break up the enemy's attack using a Y-shaped defensive position, and with a variety of weapons and equipment, it can even block an enemy force several times its size.
Meng Fu set up two Y-shaped positions at the intersection of the Twin Peaks Mountains to limit the threat of the Japanese army to this territory to the greatest extent, and at the same time, he did not need to divide too many troops, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Ha Pressure Library! Machine guns suppressed, grenadier groups prepared ...
"ๆฎบใ!"
The scene in front of him gradually became clear, the Japanese advance had rushed to 120 meters outside the position, but what was surprising was that the Chinese people on the position had not fired until now, and they did not know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
However, at this time, the devil army Cao Ke, who led the charge, couldn't manage so much, seeing the attack distance, the machine gun team and grenadier canisters in the team hurriedly set up firing points, and the remaining big soldiers kept charging forward all the time.
"Boom! Boom ......"
One or two hundred meters is the distance at which the grenadiers will be powered, and the Japanese have already begun to bombard the positions with the grenadiers as a way to cover their comrades in the charge.
A skilled shooter can even strike with precision of less than 1 meter at this distance, but this requires both experience and skill from the soldier.
The perennial war attrition has slowly reduced the elite soldiers on the battlefield, and the Japanese army has long lost its glory, especially like the troops at the back of the sequence, there are not many real battlefield veterans.
So much so that now these grenadier shooters can't point where to fight like their predecessors, and the support effect brought by them is greatly reduced, after all, grenadiers are not something that recruits can afford.
"Steady! Don't shoot, let the little devil get closer and then fight! โ
"The wounded are carried back, and if they are bitten by another shell, they will be broken!"
The soldiers in the position were not raw melons and eggs, and they were calm and silently lying in the trenches, clutching the rifles in their hands, even if the enemy blew up, they remained motionless.
The medics rushed back and forth, because every now and then one or two unlucky people were injured by shells, and they quickly stepped forward to treat the wounded soldiers, and quickly carried the seriously wounded who could not move away from the battlefield.
The sound of the rain was accompanied by the sound of footsteps in front of the position, and the devil had now rushed to a place less than 60 meters away from the position.
"Ready!"
Crash......
The sound of bullets loading was incessant, and the fighters at the forefront of the position silently took out the grenades and held the drawstring in their hands.
"It's now, let's go!"
Sneer......
The grenades emitting green smoke were thrown out by the soldiers, and the Demoman stared ahead, and immediately pressed down the detonator after seeing the little devil enter the range, followed by a piercing explosion, and the pot exploded instantly within fifty meters of the position.
