Chapter 437: Careless!

"Hold your breath!"

"Listen to my orders and fire again!"

Holding an MP40 submachine gun, Zhang Dabiao bent down and shuttled through the trenches, while shouting out from his mouth.

This position is a little larger than the Baozi Hill position.

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao placed two companies in the positive slope position, with a total of more than 500 people, making it seem that the strength of the Eighth Route Army was only one battalion at most.

In fact, there were two infantry companies and an artillery company of a battalion on the rear anti-slope position.

Farther away, near the town of Dagu, the main battalions of the new regiment were assembling.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie heard that Li Yunlong had meat to eat, and they were also gathering troops, preparing to lead a part of the main force to reinforce the new regiment.

Soon, the front platoon of the devils moved into a position of 30 meters from the forward position.

The Japanese soldiers and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army could clearly see the hideous and murderous expressions on each other's faces.

Under normal circumstances, to prevent the devil from rushing into the position, put the devil into a position of 100 or 50 meters to open fire.

But Zhang Dabiao is not afraid, because he is very confident in the firepower under his command.

Under such a dense fire blockade, not to mention the devil's infantry, even the devil's cavalry would not want to rush to the position of a battalion.

And the 30-meter position, in addition to being suitable for the play of various guns, grenades can also get the front line of devils.

"Fire!"

Seeing the front row of the devil striding into the 30-meter mark of the forward position, Zhang Dabiao gave a loud order, and a rough and long howl with murderous intent rushed into the sky.

Da Da...

Puff puff...

At this moment, the fighters, who received the order to open fire, pulled the trigger of the weapon in their hands.

The gunfire rang out like a popping bean, and the bullets that were fired suddenly rained down on the devil.

The devils who were charging were caught off guard and fell one after another, but the devils were also not afraid of death, the devils in the front row fell, and the devils in the back row followed one after another.

In addition to the firepower of 2 infantry companies of the 1st battalion, there was also a heavy machine-gun company of 8 Maxims working almost non-stop.

Firmly suppressed the attack of the devils at a distance of more than 100 meters, and at a distance of more than 30 meters to more than 100 meters, a large number of corpses of devils were left, and the devils could not advance any further.

As the barrage began to extend, it didn't take long to suppress the devil 200 meters away, and the devil kept rushing forward and falling again.

At a distance of 200 meters, the accuracy of the submachine gun has been greatly reduced, but it is very suitable for semi-automatic rifles, light machine guns and heavy machine guns.

Although the devils are also returning fire, especially the grenadiers of the devils, they will be able to hit a fire point of the first battalion within three shots.

But the devil's firepower is always suppressed, and the devil's grenadiers will shoot a maximum of two grenades, and they will be found by the snipers of the first battalion, and then suppressed and killed.

At the top of the hill, the headquarters of the new 1st regiment.

"Haha, the first battalion is so beautiful!"

In the binoculars, I saw that the devils who were attacking were suppressed, and they looked for cover in panic to avoid the rain of bullets and harvests.

Li Yunlong's tone was very satisfied.

"Lu Yingjun, have you found the devil's artillery position, can you kill the devil's artillery position?"

Then, Li Yunlong asked Lu Yingjun, who was lying on the side and observing with the artillery mirror.

Lu Yingjun immediately replied: "Report to the regiment commander, the devil's artillery position is set up on the anticline of the mountain four kilometers away, and our mountain artillery and howitzers can't hit it. ”

Li Yunlong asked again: "What about the 150mm howitzer, can it hit?" ”

"The range is enough." Lu Yingjun said, "There is a depression next to the road behind the anticline of the mountain, and you can't see the impact point, so you can't adjust the shooting points according to the impact point. ”

Li Yunlong scolded: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what are you observers eating?" ”

The movement just now was definitely made by a mountain artillery wing.

If you can kill the devil's mountain artillery wing, see what the little devil will attack?

Moreover, the business of killing a Devil's Mountain Artillery Wing must be very lucrative.

Lu Yingjun muttered softly: "There is no way, the devil's artillery is not a fool, how can it be possible to set up an artillery position under the nose of the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"It's a pity, the little devil won't let our old Li get rich!"

Grand Master Li sighed, and then asked: "The 1st Artillery Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion, the infantry attacking the devils, can always be beaten, right?" ”

"I can hit it!"

This time, Lu Yingjun nodded, and his tone was extremely affirmative.

"Then call the 1st Artillery Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion and hit all the shells on the heads of the attacking devil infantry!" Li Yunlong ordered.

"Regiment commander, do you need to use 150mm howitzers?" Lu Yingjun asked.

"Temporarily do not move the 150-mm howitzer!" Li Yunlong said, "Two artillery battalions are enough!" ”

Although the 150-millimeter howitzer has been prepared and is within a range of 15 kilometers, Li Yunlong will not use strategic weapons unless it is absolutely necessary.

The order to pull out the 150-mm howitzer was previously ordered because Li Yunlong was afraid that one battalion would not be able to stop the attack of one infantry wing and one artillery wing of the devils.

But now it seems that even if the devil comes to another wing, it will be difficult to take the position of the first battalion.

At the beginning, the fourth battalion relied on anti-slope and tunnel tactics to kill more than 3,000 devils in Baozi Mountain, and now the main battalion of the new regiment is here, and the same tactics must not kill 10,000 devils?

You must know that the Fourth Battalion has only just been established, and its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of an established unit like the new regiment and the first battalion.

However, the battle of Baozi Mountain also made Chen Dagu and the fourth battalion famous.

The elders of all parties who know a little about the new regiment know that Li Yunlong's command will be like a cloud.

"Yes!"

After Lu Yingjun responded loudly, he immediately picked up a high-power walkie-talkie and successively conveyed a series of shooting items to the 1st Artillery Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion.

Shooting the elements has been calculated a long time ago.

The devil was suppressed at a position of more than 200 meters away from the forward position, so there was no need to worry too much about his own position being hit by shells.

The command of the front of the new regiment gave an order for shelling.

With the flags of the 1st Artillery Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion, the soldiers reluctantly put down the artillery flags in their hands.

The sound of artillery tore through the sky in an instant, and more than 80 shells were discharged in the first round of discharge, and almost simultaneously fell on the road of the devils attacking in the west of Dagu Town.

The death-scented metal projectile pierced the air with a terrifying hissing sound, and the attacking devil infantry was immediately plunged into a sea of smoke and fire.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the shelling, the 1st and 2nd Artillery Battalions did not conduct a pre-test fire, but covered them with artillery fire as soon as they came up.

Efforts were made to make sure that the shells of the 1st and 2nd Artillery Battalions, which were located five kilometers away from the rear, fell on the heads of the devils at the same time.

There were sporadic shells that missed the target and landed near the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, but most of the shells fell on the heads of the devils.

There are no civil fortifications, no reinforced concrete fortifications, not even decent bunkers.

Even if the devil infantry heard the whistling of the shells and lay on the ground, or made a rolling motion to try to escape from the impact point, the power of the explosion was not comparable to that of 60mm mortar shells or 70mm infantry shells, and they could not avoid the explosion and sharp shrapnel at all.

Before the first round of shelling, there were still quite a few devils lying behind bunkers, crawling behind the corpses of the dead devils, setting up machine guns or rifles to shoot at the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

But after the shells fell, where the devil infantry was, the gunfire suddenly became extremely sparse and sporadic.

A large number of devils were wailing in pain, with bullet craters and severed limbs everywhere.

The two artillery battalions of the new regiment, each of which had about 40 75-mm cannons, each had more artillery than the 36th Artillery Wing of the first devil.

This is still the case where 19 150mm howitzers were not used, otherwise the artillery fire would be even more powerful, and it would directly lead to the lack of grass within a radius of a few hundred meters of the devil infantry's attack.

……

"Yaga, Ya Lu!"

Seeing this scene in the field of vision of the telescope, Jing Guanyan's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Careless!

The infantry firepower of the Eighth Route exceeded his expectations, and even the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route was so strong.

This was the first time that the 36th Division had fought with the new regiment, and just one battle allowed Jing Guanqian to appreciate the continuous firepower of the new regiment.

When the vanguard of the 222nd Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Wing was only 30 meters away from the forward position of the new regiment.

A starry spark suddenly appeared on the new regiment's position, and Jing Guan knew very well that it was the tongue of fire from submachine guns and light and heavy machine guns.

The number of them made Jing Guan Qian sigh that the firepower of the new regiment could not even be compared with the permanent division of the Japanese army.

The attacking Japanese soldiers fell in pieces under a dense rain of bullets like flying locusts, a network of hundreds of semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and light and heavy machine guns.

But this was not the end, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was the most deadly, more than 2 artillery positions of the mountain artillery company opened fire at the same time, and pieces of shells fell from the heads of the attacking Japanese soldiers.

The Eighth Route Army suffered more than half of the casualties of the attacking 3rd Infantry Brigade with just a few rounds of fire and one round of artillery bombardment.

This is a big loss!

"Order, the 3rd Infantry Brigade immediately retreats!"

Jing Guan ordered through gritted teeth.

"Hey!"

The Devil Banner Commander hurriedly used the flag language to give orders to the Devil Infantry who were being bombarded.

In fact, without waiting for the order of Jing Guanyu, the 3rd Infantry Brigade, under the order of the captain, was already breaking and fleeing to the rear.

It was a rout rather than a retreat, and the devils couldn't stand it, so they ran wildly in the direction they came from with their guns in hand.

But the artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army is not over yet, the shells of the Eighth Route Army seem to have eyes, and wherever the devil infantry flees, the shells can accurately fall on the heads of the devils.

Xu Jin barrage!

This is Xu Jin barrage!

Jing Guancheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he never thought that the artillery quality of the Eighth Route Army was so high, and he could actually hit such a difficult artillery bombardment as Xu Jin barrage from a distance of several kilometers.

A full-fledged infantry brigade of more than 1,000 people attacked, thinking that it could take the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop and capture Dagu Town.

But the result surprised a kind of devil officer, including Jing Guancheng.

In the end, fewer than 200 people escaped.

Seeing that the first wave of devils' attacks were frustrated and suffered heavy losses, the corners of Li Yunlong's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Hehe, labor and management are only a slight move, and it is already the limit of regimental scale battles, and labor and management don't know what an opponent is.
