The so-called cat's ear hole fortification is a kind of culvert dug horizontally along the side wall of the trench.

The structure of this cat's ear hole fortification is simple, the interior is long and narrow, which is very suitable for individual soldiers as a cover, coupled with the stable structure, it has a strong resistance to artillery bombardment.

The Japanese army is quite skilled in the excavation and use of the fortifications of the cat's ear hole.

During the anti-Japanese period, after the Eighth Route Army paid heavy casualties and took the positions occupied by the devils, they found that the Japanese army built this kind of fortifications that were very suitable for evading artillery bombardment.

Later, it was studied, improved, and used in the defense of Japanese artillery.

At the end of last year, in the battle of Lijiapo, the monk led the soldiers of the guard company, relying on the high ground of Lijiapo, to drag the Yamazaki brigade and withstand the constant bombardment of the artillery squadron of the Yamazaki brigade.

This is also the reason why Kong Jie didn't think about it at all, and directly attacked the Ishii Wing with artillery fire.

With this kind of cat's ear hole anti-artillery fortifications, you just use artillery fire to plow the front and back of the devil's position several times, and the little devil can still jump around on the fortification.

Even if the independent regiment has a rich family, it can't be such a squander.

That's why there is a lurking tactic in front of you, with artillery bombardment.

Night, eleven o'clock sharp.

On the side of the Independent Regiment, the artillery bombardment of the positions of the Japanese Ishii Wing was launched.

The artillery company led by Wang Chengzhu was responsible for the bombardment, with three Type 92 infantry guns, two 82-mm mortars, one 81-mm mortar, and two 75-mm mortars.

Hiding in the temporary headquarters under the strongest anti-artillery fortifications, the commander of the devil wing, Ishii Haraichi, and the chief of staff were also shocked when they listened to the crazy artillery sound on the position.

In the battle with the Independent Regiment, it was the first time that the Ishii Wing was subjected to concentrated artillery fire from the artillery company of the Independent Regiment.

It is simply appalling that a regimental-level combat unit in the Eighth Route Military Region should possess such an intensity of artillery fire.

Ishii Haraichi didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to his Ishii Wing if there were no fortifications arranged in advance in front of him, after suffering such artillery fire.

The strength of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army once again refreshed the cognition of these old devils.

Of course, although he was frightened by the artillery fire that broke out in the independent regiment, Ishii Haraichi was not panicked.

As for the current three-line anti-artillery fortifications built with the help of mountains, Ishii Haraichi is very confident, even if the artillery fire of the independent regiment is powerful, it is just a waste of shells.

The perimeter of the fortifications had long been blocked by the Imperial soldiers with fire, and once the bombardment was over, the Imperial soldiers would quickly leave the fortifications and rush back to the flank of the trenches.

All the firing points were condescending, and a large area of firing was cleared on the perimeter of the fortifications, and the attacking troops of the Independent Regiment were still at the foot of the mountain, and it would take at least five minutes to rush to the forward fortifications.

Five minutes was enough time for the Japanese army to rebuild effective fortifications from the aftermath of the artillery bombardment, and they were waiting for the arrival of the Eighth Route Offensive Force.

Thinking of this, Ishii Hara was relieved, looked at his watch, and then looked at the sky, and in six or seven hours, it would be dawn.

Bastards of the Independent Regiment, hurry up and enjoy your last arrogance!

Boom –

At 11:04:30 a.m., the shells that fell on the Japanese army's third-line fortifications were still continuing.

The monk who led the soldiers of the guard company crawling in the weeds immediately made a bold decision:

Twenty seconds early!

The advantage of this was that after the shelling stopped, the fighters of the guard company could go into battle in less time.

The disadvantage is that your own artillery is likely to accidentally injure the guard company without knowing it.

But the monk was sure that the pillar side knew the area where the guard company was lurking, and that the shells would be extra cautious when they hit the perimeter of the weeds.

So as long as you don't get too close, you shouldn't be accidentally injured by shells.

In this way, after leading the soldiers of the guard company to set off twenty seconds earlier, the time for the guard company to enter the battle can be shortened by twenty seconds.

Perhaps in less than twenty seconds, the soldiers will be able to storm the Japanese fortifications.

The monk who had made up his mind no longer hesitated, bent his waist, gradually detached himself from the front area of the weedy field, and with the help of the mountain, he felt in the direction of the right side of the forward fortifications of the Japanese army.

The warriors lurking behind him followed without hesitation, continuing to remain hidden and quiet all the way.

The bombardment of the fortifications was fierce.

In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, the scouts left behind by the devils were also forced to retreat back to the trenches under heavy artillery fire.

Judging by common sense, under this level of shelling, it is impossible for the troops of the Eighth Route to risk breaking through.

Coupled with the concealment of the march, the Japanese were unaware of the guard company that was advancing on the right flank through the nightfall.

As we continued on the march, the shells exploded at a distance of less than a hundred meters.

The clock ticked to the fifty-fourth second of four minutes.

There was no time to look at his watch, the monk memorized the seconds in his heart, and suddenly raised his right hand, The tactics behind him continued to convey sign language, and the whole team hurriedly lowered their bodies.

The faint ticking sound, sounded six more times.

At exactly 11:05 p.m., Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the artillery company, gave the order for a ceasefire.

In the course of three hours, the error between the two watches will never exceed one second.

After counting silently for six seconds in his heart, the monk no longer even looked at his watch or whether the bombardment was still continuing, and immediately waved his hand and gave the battle order.

According to the previous division, the guard company was divided into three groups, led by a monk, a platoon leader, and a second platoon leader, with each group of about 50 people.

Each large group is composed of fifteen combat teams with bombardiers, pistols, and shotgunners.

Each of the two combat teams will have a fire support team, consisting of machine gunners and grenadiers.

Three large groups, from the far right of the Japanese fortifications, rushed to the three-line trench fortifications built by the devils.

Thanks to the fact that the soldiers of the guard company led by the monk advanced by 20 seconds, it took about 40 seconds to reach the forward fortifications of the Japanese army with a charge distance of more than 300 meters after the shells stopped, but it only took about 15 seconds at this moment.

In such a short period of time, the devils who were still shrouded in the shelling a moment ago were still immersed in the fierce artillery fire of the independent regiment, and the echo of the artillery fire seemed to be still echoing in the mountains and forests, and they even subconsciously thought that the shelling was not over.

The trenches used by the Japanese army to build third-line fortifications in the mountains, each trench was about 30 meters apart, almost circular trenches, with a curve length of more than 200 meters, and some foxholes, semi-underground machine gun fortifications, and interconnected tunnels around the perimeter.

The three combat groups, the first combat group led by the monk, are responsible for the first-line fortifications of the devil's key defense.

The 2nd Operations Group, led by a platoon leader, was responsible for the second line of Japanese fortifications.

The third combat group, led by the second platoon commander, is responsible for the last line of defense of the devils.

According to the operational arrangement issued by the monk before the battle, considering that the Japanese army's third-line fortifications were the farthest away, the third combat group had to rush to the third-line fortifications, and there was a time lag. Gu Bei

Therefore, when the guns of the third combat group rang out, the second combat group and the first combat group could immediately launch an attack.

In the short time before that, the soldiers of the first and second combat groups would flick their tails like a long dragon and arrange each tactical team separately on the periphery of the devil's trench.

To ensure that the blow to the devils in the trenches can be carried out comprehensively and simultaneously.

Night, eleven 05:46.

Under the leadership of the second platoon commander, the third combat group of the guard company quickly arrived at the outside of the trench of the third-line fortifications built by the devils.

After the tactical combat groups were quickly put into position, the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

The bombardiers of the tactical operations team were the first to tear off the fuses of the incendiary bombs, and then threw the incendiary bombs into the trenches.

This incendiary bomb is naturally the masterpiece of the independent regiment repair institute, using the principle of incendiary bottles, a small amount of explosives plus a large amount of incendiary agent, plus a simple fire fuse, after the incendiary bomb is thrown, the explosive explodes, scattering the incendiary in all directions, and then causing a fire.

In addition, these incendiary agents have a high combustion temperature and strong adhesion capacity.

Whether it is the surface of the earth, a firearm or a human body, it catches fire when it sticks, and after the explosives are thrown, a large piece is burned.

The bombardier fighters, who were quickly in position, dropped fifteen or sixteen incendiary bombs at once, and after exploding in a circular trench more than 200 meters away, the incendiary agent quickly burned.

The sudden attack, the flames that quickly burned, soon spread to some devils in the trenches.

With these flames alone, naturally the devil cannot be killed immediately, and if the devil has time, he can even use the surrounding soil to extinguish the flames on his body.

But all the soldiers wanted was to use the flames of the incendiary bombs to quickly find out where the devils in the trenches were in the dark night.

A dozen flames burst into flames, dispelling the darkness in the trenches.

The soldiers swept over at a glance, and could see that these devils had just recovered from the roar of the shells, and were crawling out of the cat's ear hole fortifications, one by one about to crawl to the side of the trench!

This large number of devils quickly came into view, which directly stimulated the nerves of the fighters, how could the shotgunner hesitate, the flames of the incendiary bombs illuminated the trenches, and under the dark shadows, the fighters with double-barreled shotguns fired directly.

Bang –

Bang –

Compared to the sound of a rifle, a particularly violent gunfire suddenly rang out.

It was like a small-caliber bomb exploding at the muzzle of the gun.

When the shotgun was first developed, the military soldiers of the repair institute said that the loading efficiency of the shotgun was too low, and it was too late to replace the second shot with a shot in close combat, so they invented this double-barreled shotgun, which was regarded as increasing the ammunition capacity of the shotgun.

The number of devils in the trenches is relatively dense, and it is perfect to use a shotgun that is fired at close range, and the shotgunner suddenly fires, and a large number of projectiles are sprayed like splashing ink.

The oncoming devils, whether it is one or two, or three or four, or even seven or eight, will be hit when they hear it, and they will fall when they hear it.

The projectiles fired at high speed were densely embedded in the flesh of the devil who was hit, some were facades, some were chests, and some were abdomen, at first glance, they looked like a hornet's nest in the shape of a humanoid.

The devil who was hit by a shotgun did not die immediately after he was planted, but the pain he suffered was even more terrifying than direct death.

Feeling the local body that was hit by the projectile into a honeycomb, the sharp pain that came from it soon deprived the devil of his last life.

Even if he didn't die, the devil basically lost the ability to continue fighting.

That's where the horror of a shotgun as a melee king lies.

In close combat, the projectile covers a large area, has a high hit rate, and has a strong lethal rate.

Such a close-range splash of ink can directly flatten the gap between the military literacy of the soldiers and the devils.

Even if it is a militia who has only been trained for a short time, he can still go down with one shot and knock down four or five devils.

Especially in the current combat environment, there is simply no more applicable situation.

The devil was in the trench, and only then did he crawl out of the cat's ear hole anti-artillery fortifications, and under the lighting of the incendiary bombs, the distribution of the devils in the trench was clearly illuminated.

Close to the blow, the shotgun shooter stood at the top of the trench, and he would never be more than five meters away from the devil in the trench.

A shot was sprayed, but none of the devils who were covered by the projectile scattering area of the shotgun were spared.

There is more than one shotgun that has been sprayed one after another, each double-barreled shotgun has two rounds of ammunition, which can fire two shots in a row, and there are fifteen tactical teams responsible for dealing with each line of trench fortifications of the devils, with a total of fifteen shotguns, which is the ammunition for thirty shotguns.

Bang bang –

While the shotgun fighters of the tactical group were spraying the devils in the trenches at close range with their shotguns, the other team members were not idle, and the bombardiers who had thrown incendiary grenades immediately began to throw grenades hanging from their waists.

After quickly throwing the grenade, he pulled out the shell gun directly from his waist and acted as a pistol.

A pistolster with a shell gun in his left and right hands replenishes his firepower with continuous firing to eliminate the devils in the trenches.

After the two rounds of ammunition for the shotgun were empty, the shotgun shooter did not hesitate to temporarily discard the shotgun, and directly pulled out the two shell guns on his waist that had pressed the bullets in advance, and rubbed the safety open.

The two pistols were pulled out from their waists, using the belts and the corners of their clothes to rub the safety at the same time, which was a unique training skill for the soldiers of the guard company.

In the words of Monk Wei, the commander of the guard company, as a guard company, the elite soldiers nicknamed the pistol company, if they can't even play with pistols, how can we still have a face and call it a pistol company?

Then, the barge guns were fired, some in single shots, and some fighters were even able to fire two shots at the same time, and hit the two devils in the trench at the same time.

The fighters of the tactical group fought in concert, cooperated tacitly, attacked quickly, and firepower was rapid.

In an instant, the devils in the trenches were stunned by this sudden attack.

In the judgment of the devils of the Ishii United, the Eighth Route Army is still at the foot of the mountain!

Even if there is no one to hinder, it will take at least three to five minutes to attack the forward fortifications.

But now that the artillery fire has just stopped, where did this eight-way army suddenly come from, and the divine soldiers can't fall from the sky?

The devils in the trenches have only suffered five minutes of shelling, even if they hide in the anti-artillery hole, feeling the huge sound of the shells close at hand, their brains are still buzzing, and now they are in a hurry to fight.

Before they could come to their senses, many of them were swept away by shotguns, grenades, incendiary grenades, and the light gunners' firepower that the tactical team had added to later.

And it was also a three-line trench fortifications that were attacked at the same time.

Under the dense fire raid, the trench that was originally used as a cover now seems to have become a cemetery for the burial of devils.

The narrow trenches are more suitable for the fire venting of grenades, incendiary grenades, light machine guns, shotguns and other weapons of the soldiers of the guard company.

In less than a minute of hastily responding to the battle, some of the devils in the trenches were scorched by the flames of the incendiary agent; Some were beaten into hornet's nests by shotgun projectiles; Others were directly blown up by grenades and their flesh was blurred.

What a terrible word......
