Chapter 164: Martyrdom

Green jungle, winding road, a long yellow worm appears on the road.

From the cautious military style of this Japanese army, and the neat formation of the marching army, scouts began to search and advance when no enemy was found. The large force was stopped a kilometer away, and only one infantry squad searched along the road.

When it discovered the slope of the hill on the left that had been blown up, the Japanese infantry squad quickly retreated, never stepping forward to continue the search.

In a semi-underground bunker fortified area made of thick logs, several military commanders of the Sichuan Army Corps had bad thoughts when they saw the retreat of the Japanese search team that had marched five or six hundred meters to the hillside.

Chen Yu squatted behind the artillery mirror and looked: "Real chicken thief, tell the rear artillery position, and concentrate all the long-range artillery fire for fire testing." The first line of defense on the hillside was the idea of the Japanese armored tanks, and asked Krupp to wipe his anti-aircraft guns clean, and it was necessary to ensure that the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed as soon as possible.

The Japanese troops on the opposite side marched in a hurry, did not carry large-caliber artillery fire, and there were also several mountain guns in the sky. The first line of defense must be quickly repulsed by the first attack of the Japanese army, and they must not be allowed to detect the firepower of the second line of defense. โ€

"Yes!"

A young lieutenant officer next to him answered, and immediately informed the first position at the foot of the mountain.

Dead dead sat on top of an ammunition box and wiped his firearms, this guy had a ridiculous number of guns, including Colt pistols, Yu Xiaoqing's Browning pistols, and a 79 rifle, with a Mauser pistol hanging from his waist, and the whole person was alive and well in a walking armory.

Now he basically doesn't have to brave the rain of bullets to rush to the front line, he can only boringly wipe these guns that have saved him more than once, and wipe them back and forth. The habit developed by the Sichuan Legion, everyone must always maintain their guns, otherwise they will be eaten at night,

was forced out by Chen Yu, and everyone was treated equally, even the head of Ah Yi.

Ah Yi, who was standing next to the observation hole, had nothing to do but announce to everyone: "The whole regiment obeys the command of Chief of Staff Chen, and the position is firmly defended, and he is the best officer in our regiment." โ€

"Yes!" Several young officers and Zhang Lixian on the side should come down.

As for the old cannon fodder of the Sichuan Army, fighting this kind of thing, dead and dead and not talking, it is basically Chen Yu who is in charge. Ah Yi was very unlucky, and when Burma retreated, the two leading troops were defeated, which caused the old cannon fodder to not trust him very much.

After the commander was determined, Dead Dead no longer cared about those odd things, put away the few guns in front of him, picked up the 79 rifle leaning against the wall and left. As he left, he went to various positions to inspect the positions and faced the soldiers with a calm and breezy attitude.

He is the soul of the Sichuan Army, and in the face of this upcoming battle, the ease of death and death also makes the hearts of thousands of soldiers relaxed. The veterans of the companies and platoons were also stabilizing the vast majority of the soldiers who had not fought before, telling them that they only had to follow the orders of their superiors.

The two regiments were concentrated in the former long-range artillery, plus the divisional artillery that advanced with the main regiment, dozens of artillery pieces formed a cluster of artillery fire, crossed the mountain tops and crossed the sky, firing corrective shells in the direction of the Japanese army a kilometer away.

These are just some of them, and there are more than two dozen direct-fire guns scattered around, as well as a large number of scary mortars, and it is not easy for the Japanese to capture the high ground.

From the artillery mirror, Chen Yu saw more than 20 shells falling in the forest where the Japanese army was hoarding, and the shells smashed mud and dust in the woods and blew up countless lush trees.

Give the Japanese a taste of artillery fire first, and interrupt their military deployment plans. The shells explode first, otherwise wait for the Japanese army to organize a combat formation and use artillery after the charge?

After correcting the interval after the artillery fire, the Japanese armored tanks and trucks that stayed on the road quickly drove into the forest to avoid the artillery fire. After a short gap, three rapid fires followed, blowing up the forest infested by distant Japanese troops, clearing a huge clearing in just a few minutes.

Ah Yi watched the shells fall in the distant forest, and inadvertently sighed: "We also have artillery fire, and the best artillery in the past was the two-pounder mortar that the British didn't want, and there were only more than 100 shells."

Now it's good! Mortars, mountain artillery, field artillery, and even heavy artillery of more than 100 mm will be used in a few days, and it feels like a dream now. โ€

"More than that."

Chen Yu said: "I have seen Yu Zhi of the division team, and when Yu Xiaoqing was reorganizing the Sichuan Army, he packed Yu Zhi and the team as a dowry maid. Now I guess on the road, you even have a tank, Sir Ayi. โ€

"Really?"

The man who wiped the gun in the corner of the fortification said: "The turtle son is a liar, and the tanks are all there." โ€

Chen Yu stretched out his old waist, which had been squancing for a long time: "The twenty-eight best people are like crisps, and the sword on their waists slashes ordinary people." Although I don't see anyone's head falling, I secretly teach the monarch to have dry bone marrow. The ancients were sincere, don't deceive me! How can this waist bend for a while and it hurts, how can I live in the future~~~

Within ten minutes, the Japanese army will organize a tentative attack, Ah Yi, do you believe it or not? โ€

Ah Yi pondered for a moment and then said, "The military quality of the Japanese soldiers is better than ours, and they will definitely launch a tentative attack in ten minutes." You let the second position not open fire, and the first position is to confuse the Japanese so that they can't guess how many of us are, plus a cluster artillery attack. Virtual, real, real, virtual. โ€

"That's right! In the positional blocking battle, we just want to block the footsteps of the Japanese army, we can use any method, why fight with knives? โ€

Ah Yi suddenly realized: "With you, I really learned a lot." โ€

Chen Yu spat on the ground: "Just ask Chief A Yi not to beat the Chinese in the future, maybe it will be another day of warlord melee in the future, but it will only suffer the Chinese people." โ€

Ah Yi on the side grinned a bright smile: "It's too far, now I just want to drive away the Japanese." โ€

"Sir Ayi!"

Chen Yu said to himself: "You only talk about unity, don't talk about division, otherwise be careful that someone will shoot you behind your back." โ€

"Who's going to shoot me?"

"It's not certain."

When the shelling ended, almost at the same time, the Japanese organized their troops and began to touch the high ground on the hills on the left and right. There are two places on the hilltop heights, which are guarded by the main regiment and the Sichuan Army Corps, and there are two lines of defense at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside, and the place on the top of the mountain is easy to be artillery.

Four battalions served as guards, and the remaining two battalions rested in the rear as reserves for rotation.

Two Japanese infantry squads launched a tentative attack as the vanguard, accompanied by two armored tank vehicles.

The first mortar shells fell on the heads of the Japanese with a sharp and strange roar, and two armored tank vehicles marching on the road were destroyed by Krupp's anti-aircraft artillery at a distance of four or five hundred meters from the position. He used the facts to tell the people of the Sichuan Army that the Japanese tanks were really easy to fight, and they poked tofu with chopsticks and wore them at once.

The direct fire from the first position, the heavy machine guns swept away the bushes and vines in the forest in front of them, and the bolt-activated rifles formed a dense fire to shoot at the outcropping Japanese troops. Soon the Japanese counterattack began, and the 92 rifle was accompanied by various small-caliber curved guns for fire support, and the Japanese also relied on trees to advance.

Chen Yu glanced at the direction of the 92 rifle guns fired in the distance, and after a few minutes, before he could open his mouth to scold, the cluster artillery fire relied on the guidance of the artillery fire guide, and directly washed the ground with shells, blowing up the woods.

In the distance, there was a violent explosion, and the flames rushed into the sky, and the Japanese artillery shells exploded.
