The brigade commander in the rear of the Japanese army was shocked and angry, "Baga! Now you tell me that if you can't take Nantianmen, do I have to report to my superiors and transfer a division! ”

The three wing commanders held their sabers, lowered their heads, and did not dare to say anything.

"The artillery position was bombed, you are all out of duty, I will give you the opportunity to make up for your mistakes, take the Nantianmen, if you can't take the Nantianmen, you will apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

How can the brigade commander not be angry, after a few days of observation, they have mastered the latest information on the Nantianmen, the Zhina troops stationed on the Nantianmen are not as many as imagined, their number is likely to be three regiments, of which they should face the main force of the Zhina people, and the left and right flanks are the auxiliary defense of the Zhina people.

As long as they broke through the position of the main regiment of the Zhina, they would be able to rely on the Nantianmen and threaten the two regiments on the left and right flanks.

Originally, this was a plan with a chance to win, but unexpectedly, in the early hours of the morning, their artillery position was attacked by the Chinese people, a large number of artillery pieces were blown up, and the shells that had hoarded four tents were also blown up, and a batch of them were transported from the four eastern provinces, all of which were destroyed by the Chinese people in this attack.

These shells, all of which were supported from the rear, totaled 200 guns of various calibers, and they were also blown up in this explosion.

And these cannons and shells are used to open the Nu River defense line of the sharp weapons, they were mobilized from several wings, but I didn't expect to be blown up by the people of the Zhina, the brigade commander after hearing the news, almost fainted, he didn't even dare to tell the division commander the news, because these cannons were the last batch they left in Dian-Burma, and the other guns were pulled to the Pacific War to engage the Allies.

The destruction of this batch of artillery and shells was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to the entire Japanese army fighting in Dian-Burma.

This batch of artillery was so critical that it was blown up under the noses of the three wings, and from the beginning to the end of the explosion, the whole process took more than half an hour, and what made him most angry was that the troops they were pursuing did not even leave a single corpse of the enemy.

That is to say, the enemy passed through their line unscathed, and in only half an hour it took only half an hour for the enemy to destroy their vital artillery position, and the brigade commander, after scolding the three wing commanders away, sat on his stool angrily, but then a sense of powerlessness rose.

The artillery positions were bombed, and with only a few small-caliber shells from various wings, it was not easy to destroy the Nantianmen occupied by the Chinese people.

"Yaga!"

He angrily slapped the table with his hand.

On the Nantian Gate, the soldiers on the second line of defense listened to the constant gunshots, and from time to time there were screams of the Japanese devils, and they realized that the Japanese devils were pretending to be corpses again.

They have been pitted by the Japanese devils in this way more than once, and these defeated soldiers hate the Japanese devils in their hearts.

After Xia Yuan shot the last corpse, he quickly ordered Li Ula to take people to collect the weapons, ammunition and individual devices on the Japanese devils.

"Don't let go of the medicine, the water bottle, and their steel helmets."

"Yes!"

Liula immediately led a squad of routs out of the bunker, "The others are in charge of cover!" ”

He shouted, quickly ran to the corpse of a Japanese devil, and touched all the weapons, ammunition and water bottles on the corpse, the soldiers moved very quickly, obviously they were all good at touching the corpse, they knew very well the location of the bullet bag on the Japanese devil's body, and knew how to take the bullet bag is the fastest.

The Japanese devils left more than 40 pieces of ammunition, nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and the soldiers of the Sichuan Army were basically equipped with the Japanese devils' Type 38 rifles, and each person could get more than 20 rounds of ammunition.

After the tentative attack of the Japanese devils, the soldiers fell into a state of idleness again, they lit a pile of fires in the trenches, mixed the captured cans with the water scooped from the Nu River, boiled a pot of mush, the taste was not bad, and the bean cakes came running with a kettle.

"Commander, drink some water, this water is freshly boiled."

Xia Yuan took it, took a sip, and asked, "How do you feel when you are your deputy?" ”

Dou Cake held the gun, leaned on the trench, and smiled innocently: "Commander, then you still need to say, it's amazing, you are so good at shooting, I don't even admire Brother Ma, I admire you, and I will fight the Japanese devils one by one." ”

He said again: "If it's me, it won't work, I'm not allowed to shoot the gun, I help carry the ammunition, and there is no problem in replacing the barrel." ”

Xia Yuan smiled: "Shoot, you can't aim at the body of the Japanese devil, you have to aim forward, when the Japanese devil attacks, it runs forward, and it takes time for the bullet to fly over, if you aim at his body to fight, maybe the bullet just flew over, and the other party ran away, and it was empty." ”

When Dou Cake heard this, he said excitedly: "No wonder the head of the regiment is so powerful, I don't know this." ”

Xia Yuan patted Dou Cake's shoulder and said, "Practice more, and you will be able to shoot accurately." ”

Dou Cake smiled and shook his head: "Leader, I can't come, I'm still the deputy of you and Milong." My former company commander said that every position is like the four tires of a car, and if there is one less, the car will not be able to run. ”

Xia Yuan smiled, "Yes, no matter what position you are in, it is very important, without you and the sheep and the egg, how can I kill so many little devils by relying on the speed of changing bullets alone, and you also have a share of the credit for killing the little devils." ”

Dou Cake smiled innocently again, and suddenly, his eyes froze, and he pointed to the distance and said, "Japanese devil, Japanese devil!" ”

Xia Yuan looked for a sound, raised his head and looked into the distance, a large number of Japanese troops appeared in front of the first line of defense, far more than the previous attacking squad, the number was about two hundred people in a squadron, and the position was full of information transmitted by scouts.

"A squadron of the Japanese army launched an attack on Nantianmen!"

Accompanied by the sporadic cannon sound overhead, it was the remaining remnants of the Japanese army to launch an artillery bombardment on the Nantianmen, the sporadic shells bloomed on the Nantianmen, and the rolled up soil was so gorgeous, such an artillery bombardment was not to be feared for the defenders on the Nantianmen.

Xia Yuan immediately arranged the defensive task: "Don't panic, everything is going according to plan, wait for the enemy to get closer to twenty meters and shoot, throw grenades!" Keep calm! Calm me down! ”

Twenty meters is the range that the rout soldiers can basically throw bombs and shoot at the same time, which can greatly save ammunition and destroy the Japanese devils.

The attacking Japanese devils cooperated with each other, and the combat objects continued to approach the South Tianmen, and after crossing the first line of defense, they attacked the second line of defense, they advanced very carefully, holding their guns, staring cautiously ahead, sporadic shells exploded on the second line of defense, and the few remaining cannons of the Japanese devils did not cause much casualties to the routs on the second line of defense, they hid in the bomb crater, waiting for the Japanese artillery to pass the shelling.

Veterans are afraid of machine guns, and recruits are afraid of shelling. By listening to the sound of shelling in the sky, they predicted where the shells would fall, and then quickly dodged the shells falling in the sky.

They still maintained an orderly defense, and after the Japanese artillery bombardment, they quickly got out of cover, found their combat position, aimed at the Japanese troops in front, and quietly waited for the moment when the battle began.

Xia Yuan, the second line of defense, still put a lot of effort into it, and he estimated that after blowing up the Japanese artillery position, the second line of defense would hold on for at least three days.

The longer you hold on, the better it will be for them.

The routs on the second line of defense could already see the Japanese attack, and the distance between the two sides was constantly narrowing.

Xia Yuan aimed at the battlefield commander Cao in the rear of the Japanese army, when the Japanese army approached the forward position of the second line of defense, the Japanese soldier Cao pulled out his saber, raised his arm high, and pointed his saber to the sky.

With their guns in hand, they rushed to the second line of defense.

Just after the Japanese soldier Cao who shouted to attack gave the order to charge, a bullet suddenly shot down from the second line of defense, the Japanese soldier Cao fell heavily to the ground, and the adjutant of the Japanese soldier next to him was shocked, he immediately went to check the injury of the Japanese soldier Cao, faintly heard the sound of bullets swishing through the sky, followed by a black in front of him, and his head fell on the body of the Japanese soldier Cao.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

The fighters on the forward positions of the second line of defense threw grenades at the attacking Japanese devils, the fighters on the second trench fired at the Japanese devils, and the designed fire points set up on the third trenches were composed of several marksmans who had become skilled veterans, and bullets after bullets shot at the Japanese devils who rushed up.

The soldiers on each trench have a clear division of labor, each performing its own duties, more than 200 Japanese devils have fallen when approaching the forward position of the second line of defense, a large number of Japanese devils have fallen, and some of the Japanese devils use individual grenadiers, all of whom were sniped by Xia Yuan one by one.

Sheep Egg and Bean Cake grabbed a handful of bullets, quickly helped Xia Yuan to press the bullets, handed over the bullets after pressing them, and took the empty gun to continue to press the bullets.

This is Xia Yuan's countermeasure to deal with the Japanese attack, each performing his own duties and making the best use of his materials.

The second line of defense dug three trenches, and the trenches of the forward position bent forward to extend the individual pit, which was able to accommodate two soldiers, and they were able to throw grenades at the Japanese in the individual pit, and when the Japanese approached the forward position, they could pass through the crooked and twisted The S' type of communication trench retreat, in the way of retreat, there are also blocking craters, two soldiers cooperate with each other, you retreat, I block, can give the Japanese maximum casualties, and the use of grenades, can greatly destroy the formation of the Japanese attack, causing it to become chaotic.

Xia Yuan sniped out the battlefield commander of the Japanese army, making it difficult for the Japanese army to form an offensive formation in a short period of time after being blown up by a grenade.

The second trench is fire suppression, they don't need to shoot accurately, they just need to keep pulling the trigger on the Japanese army, and the Japanese army that was blown up by the fighters on the forward position with grenades is the weakest when they can easily suppress the attacking Japanese army.

The third course is the most important thing, the establishment of several design firepower points adopted Xia Yuan's way of learning the US army to build machine gun bunkers on Shangganling, using logs and a layer of thick soil, which can greatly reduce the Japanese artillery shells, and the Japanese army after the artillery position was destroyed, the large-caliber guns were lost, and it was difficult for small-caliber guns to bombard such a design fire point.

We are looking for a few soldiers who are skilled in shooting and have accurate marksmanship to place in these firing points and shoot accurately at the suppressed Japanese troops.

Such close cooperation with each other requires unified command, Long Wenwen and Meng Anfu constantly wandered between the two trenches through the communication trenches, passing orders, so that the defeated soldiers could maximize their combat effectiveness, and without the threat of artillery shells, every defeated soldier lay on the trench unharmed and shot at the Japanese army.

A Japanese squadron of more than 200 people faced a defensive line of two companies and 300 men on the second line of defense, and it was a tight and orderly defensive line with the routs cooperating with the defense, a seemingly impregnable defensive line.

"Beat them with a bad move, beat them with a bad move!"

Long Wenwen shouted loudly, his voice was mixed with a tone of hatred for iron and steel, he kept slapping the routs of the defense, his eyes were fixed on the attacking Japanese soldiers, and he opened his mouth, a Japanese squadron in charge of the attack was blocked on the second line of defense, they were no longer the same deadly attack as before, but began to look for cover such as craters, and shoot at the routs on the second line of defense.

"See, the Japanese devils are afraid, as long as they stop, it means that they are afraid, and the Japanese devils are afraid of something. It shows that we are better than them, stronger than them! The little Japanese devils just relied on their artillery to bully us, and now that they have no cannons, you can see what they have become now. ”

Long Wenwen shouted on the position with his throat pulled, the bullets whizzed through the top of his head, he shrunk his head and hugged his body, waiting for no bullets on his head, and then stood up and continued to shout at the top of his voice: "There is no artillery, they are just like us, the little Japanese devils are not good, we used two battalions to deal with a devil's squadron, and even a regiment to surround it, but now, we only use two companies for a squadron." ”

"Two companies, two companies were not enough for a squadron of little devils to plug their teeth, but now, one squadron of little devils is not enough for us to stuff our teeth, hahahaha, feng shui takes turns."

In the face of a squadron of Japanese troops, the soldiers on the second line of defense became more and more courageous, and when they saw that the Japanese devils were no longer good, they were even more excited and screamed, especially after Long Wenwen finished scolding, the fighting mood of the defeated soldiers was unprecedentedly high.
