Chapter 70: The Role of the Bait Trench
Yu Xiaoqing, who was far away on the Nujiang defense line, immediately picked up the binoculars and looked at the sky: "Oops, it's the Japanese bombers, after the Japanese artillery position was blown up by the Sichuan Army, they mobilized the air force, and once they wanted to open the defense line of Nantianmen, the Japanese army would also be forced to this extent." ”
In the two-day offensive of the Japanese army, except for the first forward position of the entire Nantaimen that the Sichuan Army voluntarily abandoned, the Japanese army did not make substantial progress on the Nantianmen, and even paid two battalions of casualties and lost the only large-scale artillery group on the battlefield of Dian-Burma.
In two days, since they entered Dian-Burma, they fought dozens of large and small battles with the expeditionary force and the British army, and the various divisions and regiments attacked rapidly and ferociously, and new progress was made every day, while the British army and the expeditionary force were quickly defeated, making the Japanese army invincible, singing all the way, chasing the expeditionary force and the British army into a crush.
Dianmyana was also occupied by them in the shortest possible time.
I thought that on the border between China and North Korea, they would be able to quickly open the door of China's rear, but they never expected that they would be blocked in front of the Nantian Gate and could not advance, and two days of fierce fighting caused them to suffer heavy casualties, and the artillery position was also blown up by the Chinese people, and they did not make the slightest progress, and paid nearly 1,000 casualties.
If the situation of the Nantian Gate is not opened again, the loss of troops on the Nantian Gate alone will be enough to humiliate them, not to mention the loss of the artillery position in front of the Nantian Gate, and if this matter is learned by the headquarters, they will all have to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor.
In the sky above Nantianmen, the sun was shining and the sky was clear, and one after another planes suddenly appeared on Nantianmen, and a huge roar came from the engines of the planes, enveloping the heads of all the Sichuan legionaries on the entire Nantianmen.
Veterinarian Hao sat in the bomb crater and said: "This plane, like a swarm of flies, buzzing around your head, if you don't slap him to death, he won't be afraid, he will always circle around you, you can only shoot him to death and make him feel pain, he won't come again." ”
Meng glanced at him annoyingly, "You know, I know, everyone knows, but there is no way to deal with him, take a gun, and miss." ”
Bu Lai sat opposite Meng Annoying, and said: "Wang Ba Gai Di, that is no way to beat the little Toyo plane, if there is, do you think he still dares to fly in the sky?" ”
Mi Long said: "That, it's not spicy, it's right, if there is, you don't have to worry about it, Lao Tzu will shoot them down by himself, and see how they are arrogant in the sky." ”
Yao Ma asked, "You say, is the bait trench useful?" ”
Mi Long glanced at him, "That must be useful, otherwise what are you digging it for, burying it for you?" ”
To glared at the dragon, the dragon grinned: "Look at it, believe it or not, I'll kill you." ”
When Ma opened his mouth, he saw that the dragon was about to get up, and Dou Cake said: "If Brother Ma is wrong, the bait trench must be useful, the head of the regiment has taken us to fight for such a long time, and I haven't experienced anything." ”
Several people watched, silent, the sound of buzzing fighters lasted for a few minutes, the routs looked up at the sky, they couldn't open their eyes because of the strong light of the sun, they squinted, the corners of their eyes were like hills, the planes circled in the sky in the distance, and then flew in the direction of Nantianmen.
"They're flying! Hidden, hidden! ”
"Enemy planes! Enemy! ”
The shouts of the defeated soldiers sounded on the position, they looked for cover everywhere, hiding in bomb craters, the enemy's planes flew over the Nantianmen, as if looking for bombing targets, followed by the sharp whistling sound in the sky, one after another shells through the clouds, making a piercing sound of rubbing the air, followed by one shell after another bursting on the ground, the deafening roar continued to vibrate in the valley.
The sound of bombardment shook the valley from the mountainside, from the side, like thunder, and the waves of shell explosions rolled up the dirt, tore through the vegetation, and destroyed the torsos of the trees to pieces.
The scout sent information: "The little devil's plane is bombing the second line of defense, and most of the fortifications of the entire second line of defense have been destroyed, and they have been shrouded in the bombing of the little devil's plane." ”
The routs thought that it was better to retreat to the second line of defense, otherwise the little devil's plane would come, and they would all become the ghosts of the little devil's plane shells.
The little devil's plane circled in the sky, throwing shells on the mountainside of Nantianmen, and the Japanese commander in the distance looked at Nantianmen, which was shrouded in artillery fire, and waved his hand to the wing commander beside him, and the wing commander shouted: "Forward!" ”
A team of more than 2,000 people formed a wave and swarmed towards the South Heavenly Gate.
After a round of heavy artillery bombardment of the fortifications on the second line of defense halfway up the mountain, the Japanese planes followed them and discovered the criss-crossing communication trenches and trenches on the side of the mountain, which were obviously the third line of defense built by the Chinese on the Nantianmen.
The Japanese planes turned their fuselages and flew over the third line of defense, and began to bomb the third line of defense, one after another shells exploded on the trenches, and the soil rolled up was several zhang high, and the Japanese planes were divided into two teams, one group of planes bombed the position halfway up the mountain of Nantianmen, and the other team bombed the trench on the top of Nantianmen Mountain that was exposed to their field of vision.
In an instant, the rout felt the shaking of the ground and the mountains, but they did not have the slightest fear, but howled loudly.
Kang Ya shouted at the top of her voice: "See, the bait trench attracted the little devil's plane, and it succeeded, the little devil's plane is bombing the bait trench." ”
Milong laughed: "Hahahaha, these lame guys. ”
Bu Yan shouted: "Xiao Dongyang doesn't know yet, they blew up the soil, but there is no one, and they also blew up the corpses of their own people, it's so ruthless, they don't even let go of their own people's corpses, hahahaha." ”
To Ma said: "They are blowing up the air, blowing up and blowing up, and nothing is blown." ”
Meng was annoyed and said: "It is estimated that they are still gloating, thinking that this time it took so much effort to transfer the plane and be able to take down Nantianmen, but we didn't have anything, not even a single wounded person who was injured by the explosion." ”
The routs laughed out loud one by one as they looked at the decoy trenches shrouded in shell bombardment, they laughed loudly, they had never been so happy as today, the Japanese planes did not damage them in the slightest, but wasted a lot of shells on the Nantianmen, and as a result, nothing was blown up.
They were happy that the stupidity of the Japanese army was played by their regimental commander.
The Japanese planes circled over the Nantianmen for a long time, and carried out three rounds of bombardment of the position halfway up the hill and their decoy trenches, and the whole position was filled with smoke, and the real third trench was covered by the soldiers of the Sichuan Corps with green vegetation after several days of preparation, and it was impossible to see the position of their trenches without looking carefully.
The Japanese bombers soon flew away, and the roar gradually became inaudible as they disappeared.
After the bombardment, the Nantian Gate was filled with gunsmoke, and the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance came back with the news that a large number of Japanese devils had been found at the foot of the mountain.
The Japanese offensive began.
Xia Yuan immediately ordered all the routed soldiers to enter the battle position, the third line of defense was like a wall, impregnable, more than ten firepower points of different sizes were built, each firepower point was equipped with light and heavy machine guns, most of the soldiers' weapons were also replaced, replaced with Stern submachine guns and Thomson submachine guns, boxes of ammunition were carried to the position by them, distributed to each soldier, in addition to the submachine gun, each soldier was also equipped with two 38 type and one medium formal.
The number of rifles was very large, especially the Japanese army's Type 38 rifles, and while killing a large number of Japanese devils, they also captured a large number of Japanese weapons and equipment.
There were four trenches on the third line of defense, each of which was spaced 30 meters apart, and they corresponded to each other, and each trench was built with logs and covered with soft soil to prevent Japanese shelling, and the arrival of Japanese planes did not cause much damage to the third line of defense, and the Japanese intelligence made serious mistakes.
When 2,000 Japanese troops marched all the way from the foot of Nantianmen Mountain, passing through the second line of defense that was already full of single pits, the Japanese army's attack was very smooth, and they did not encounter the resistance of the Sichuan Army, which strengthened their self-confidence in seizing Nantianmen, and they quickly passed through the second line of defense, and under the order of the battlefield commander, they marched towards the top of Nantianmen Mountain.
In the distance, the routs on the Nantian Gate had already seen the Japanese attack, and the mountains were all over the mountains, and there were plaster flags fluttering on the tips of the Japanese scouts' guns everywhere.
Bu scolded and scolded: "Xiao Dongyang doesn't give up, and he still wants to beat down the Nantianmen guarded by Lao Tzu, how many they come, how much Lao Tzu will beat." ”
He lay in the bunker, holding a submachine gun, turned his head and shouted: "It's not spicy, you can pull it down, just a few times of yours, the little devil can't touch it." ”
Not spicy to fight back: "Say it as if you can touch it." ”
The Japanese infantry moved quickly close to the Nantianmen, and they stopped making a sound, quietly loaded the guns in their hands, stared at the attacking Japanese soldiers in the distance, put their fingers on the trigger, and poured bullets at the Japanese army at any time.
The Japanese army was getting closer and closer to the forward position, and it was already less than fifty meters, and the swaying figure of the Japanese devil was almost reflected in the pupils of the rout, and they could even see the hideous expression of the Japanese devil.
On the high point of the hillside, there was a light machine gun and a heavy machine gun next to Xia Yuan, as well as a 38-style and a medium-sized formal, the bean cake followed Xia Yuan, and the sheep and the egg followed the dragon.
After opening the Eagle Eye, Xia Yuan grasped the important information of the Japanese attack, as well as the battlefield commander in the Japanese army, responsible for directing the Japanese attack, the strength of the Japanese attack was more than 2,000 people, and the number of battlefield commanders was more than a dozen, and the rear of the team was followed by grenadiers and heavy machine gunners, they attacked while looking for cover and erecting light and heavy machine guns, and followed the large forces of the Japanese attack in an alternate manner.
After observing the disposition of the Japanese troops, he set up a central form, aimed at one of the Japanese commanders, waited quietly, and when the Japanese approached the forward position 30 meters, he pulled the trigger, the bullet was discharged, and after a gunshot, the Japanese officer fell to the ground.
His gunfire was like a signal flare for an attack, and in an instant, the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion, who were only in the first two trenches on the third line of defense, opened fire on the attacking Japanese troops one after another, or threw grenades, and one grenade after another fell among the enemy, killing one or two attacking Japanese soldiers.
Mi Long controlled the heavy machine gun, fired short shots at the Japanese soldiers who appeared in the field of vision, and attacked the Japanese troops in front of them falling down in rows.
And Xia Yuan kept pulling the bolt and sniping at the battlefield commander in the rear of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army soon discovered that the Chinese people stationed on the mountain had snipers with very accurate marksmanship, and half of the commanders in charge of the battlefield command had died under the guns of the Chinese people, and they shouted and shouted, the sniper's suppressive power was too strong.
The heavy machine guns in the rear of the Japanese army were frantically strafing the top of the mountain, and the battlefield commanders of the Japanese army had already increased, and they carefully poked out half of their heads to observe the people on the mountain, and they were horrified to find that the fortifications on the ground on the mountain did not seem to have been hit by aircraft fire, and the people of China built several machine gun fire points on the mountain, and the fire network formed a tight blockade and organized the attack of the Japanese infantry.
And the heavy machine-gun fire on their side could not completely suppress the Chinese people.
In this way, they seem to be attacking with 2,000 people, and it is almost impossible to take Nantianmen without knocking out the firepower points built by the Zhina, even if they can take these two lines of defense of the Zhina, it is inevitable to pay a heavy price for casualties.
The hearts of these Japanese battlefield commanders sank suddenly, and what frightened them even more was that as they hid themselves, the snipers of the Chinese began to shoot their machine gunners, and their heavy machine guns were difficult to form effective fire to suppress the Chinese people on the mountain, and a machine gunner had just controlled the heavy machine gun, and he didn't know which direction to shoot a bullet and accurately hit the machine gunner.
Some Japanese veterans were able to deduce the direction of the bullet from the part of the machine gunner's bullet, but unfortunately Xia Yuan had already left that direction, as early as when the third line of defense was built, he used bushes as a camouflage, built several sniper positions, all around which were camouflaged with bushes, and each sniper position was connected by a traffic trench, which allowed him to quickly move and shoot in these sniper positions.
Xia Yuan took great care of the Japanese machine gunners and grenadiers, and in the case of a serious lack of effective heavy firepower to cover the Japanese infantry attack, the casualties of the Japanese army were increasing every moment, although the casualties of the Sichuan Corps were also increasing, but the casualties of the Japanese army were much higher than the casualties of the Sichuan Corps.
As the battle progressed, the Japanese infantry of 2,000 people was suppressed in the position of the third lane and could not attack the Nantianmen, this situation has lasted for three hours, each wave of attack was suppressed by the Sichuan Army and repelled the attacking Japanese infantry, and Xia Yuan continuously pulled the trigger, and every moment there would be a Japanese ghost under the bullet.
Chinese New Year's Eve, and I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year's Eve!
