Chapter 237 Lost to a pile of stones
The brigade commander was furious and wanted to call the captain of the mountain cannon squadron to scold him and slap him twice, but the war was important, and no matter how unhappy he was, he would have to wait for the battle to end.
Looking at the battlefield, gritting teeth and commanding.
"Bageya Road, what does the mountain cannon squadron do for food? Why have the two machine gun castles not been destroyed yet? Are they all pigs?"
"I'll give them another chance and fire immediately. If these two machine gun castles cannot be destroyed, the squadron leader will directly apologize."
"The rapid-fire gun squadron transfers two rapid-fire guns to reinforce the battlefield. If the mountain gun squadron fails to complete the mission, they will continue to fight and move behind the offensive troops, aim straight and shoot, destroying the machine gun castle like fighting a chariot!"
The violent explosion seemed very scary, but the heavy machine gun hiding in the castle was not affected. He continued to shoot at the offensive troops and killed one Japanese devil after another.
At this moment, the problem still arose.
The mountain cannon shells that kept hitting near the castle not only exploded a lot of thick smoke, but also rolled up a lot of dust. Only three or four rounds of shells hit the gunpowder, and the smoke filled the shooting holes tightly.
The machine gunner hid in the castle, without clairvoyance, could not see the specific position of the Japanese army on the battlefield, and could only shoot at the approximate position.
This gave the Japanese army the opportunity to continue to attack forward.
More and more Japanese soldiers were intercepting the heavy machine guns under the cover of bullet craters and rushed towards the blocking position in front.
Many people have pulled out the security of the grenade and are about to rush forward for more than ten meters before knocking hard on the butt stock before throwing it out.
Seeing this, the heavy expression on the brigade commander's face finally became relaxed, and he showed a confident expression of victory in his hand again.
Until now, he had attacked, besides grenades, he could not have thought that the National Salvation Army had any other tricks to deal with him.
There are more than 100 people in the attacking army. No matter how powerful the grenades thrown by the National Salvation Army are, no matter how many of them, they can only cause some damage to them, and they cannot seriously damage them. This means that most of the soldiers in the attacking army have the opportunity to rush into the National Salvation Army's position, use bayonets to solve the remaining enemies on the position, and completely occupy the position.
The brigade commander became happier the more he thought about it.
The battle situation did develop according to his ideas. After the troops rushed forward for seven or eight meters, grenades began to fly out of the blocking position.
At the same time, the offensive troops also began to throw grenades at the blocking positions.
The explosion soon rang out between the blocking positions and the Japanese attacking troops. Some people were constantly blown up or blown away, including Japanese devils and soldiers from the National Salvation Army.
The Japanese, who were not hit by the grenade, continued to assault forward, and threw grenades into the blocking position when they approached more than 30 meters.
The brigade commander believed that as more and more offensive troops threw out the grenades, fewer and fewer national-savior soldiers who survived the blocking positions would be bombed.
After no one is gone, fewer and fewer grenades will be thrown out on the counter-attack position, and the attacking troops will be able to break through the grenade interception and enter the blocking position of the National Rescue Army in one go... Then you will win this attack.
Seeing that this attack was about to be won, it unexpectedly appeared on the battlefield again.
Several regiments of black smoke rose in the middle of the attacking troops, and the soldiers around the black smoke seemed to be swept across and all fell to the place at once.
After two seconds, the explosion of "rumble..." reached the ears of the brigade commander.
He was shocked and shouted anxiously: "Baga! I forgot that the National Rescue Army and the artillery... The Mortar Squadron immediately counterattacked and suppressed the National Rescue Army's artillery fire. The offensive troops will soon win, and they must not give up halfway because of their artillery fire!"
The mortar squadron leader who received the order became annoyed for the second time.
In the middle of the night yesterday, I fought against a cannon of the National Rescue Army. I fired hundreds of shells in front and back, but all of them were wasted and no artillery was destroyed.
Although the brigade commander did not punish him after dawn, he could see from his eyes that he was very dissatisfied with his performance last night.
In the battle just now, the squadron leader fought very hard and wanted to change the brigade commander's opinion of him.
He is the boss of his immediate superior. If he becomes dissatisfied with himself, his military career in the second half of his life will probably end in the position of squadron captain.
As soon as he received the counterattack order from the brigade commander, he immediately summoned all subordinates to calculate the specifics of the other party and calculate the shooting personnel.
But at this moment, something annoying to him happened.
Although the National Salvation Army had only six mortars, in order to prevent these artillery from being taken away by itself, the six cannons were arranged separately on three artillery positions.
You can also fight back separately, but if you fight like this, your artillery will be dispersed, and the chance of starting shots is too low.
You can also concentrate all artillery to attack one of the artillery positions. If you fight in this way, the squadron leader is confident that he will hit the first shot, but the national-savior army in the other two artillery positions will definitely retreat after hearing the news.
This is a dilemma, but as the squadron leader of the mortar squadron, he must make a decision as soon as possible.
"Concentrate all artillery and blow up the artillery position in the middle first!" The squadron leader made the final decision.
Although the first method of fighting can destroy more mortars from the National Rescue Army, it may not be able to destroy even a single cannon.
Although the second style of fighting cannot save all the mortars of the national army, the artillery position that was first attacked by itself will definitely be destroyed.
The squadron leader decided to get the military achievements he could get first, so as not to get nothing if he could hit the shells.
"Sir, the shooting officers have calculated it!" a lieutenant reported.
The squadron leader was very anxious to order: "Adjust adjust the artillery and fire the artillery in the shortest time!"
"Sir, the artillery fire of the National Salvation Army has stopped, and they seem to be transferring!" The artillery observer suddenly shouted.
The explosion on the battlefield stopped indeed, and the entire attacking force was shrouded in smoke, and they could not see their specific situation.
The squadron leader became even more anxious, and the scene of the battle from last night suddenly popped up in his mind.
The National Salvation Army fired a shell and moved an artillery position. It had only eight mortars but could not lock the opponent, so it could only shoot blindly.
The squadron leader didn't want the same battle to happen to him again, so he quickly ordered: "Adjust the shooting officers, fire the guns when they are ready, and the speed should be faster..."
The attacking troops, filled with smoke, were already full of corpses, and the ground was filled with bullet craters, bloody corpses, and broken limbs and broken arms.
Although the Japanese army detonated the minefield, the gravel covering the mine surface still landed in this area after it was blown away. In addition, the troops scattered it in this area in advance, and the gravel of large and small was laid on the ground.
When the attack came here, the Japanese army stepped on the stones and did not realize that something was wrong. They did not realize the power of the stones until the shells hit them.
During the violent explosion, the gravel on the surface of the crater was blown away along with the soil.
The stones flying at high speed are like cannonballs, easily drilling into the Japanese body.
The number of stones far exceeds the number of shell fragments, which in disguise increases the lethality of shells.
A shell exploded, and the Japanese in the killing radius were swept through a storm composed of fragments and stones. Several blood holes were drilled out of each soldier, and at least half of the blood holes were caused by stones, which was very tragic.
Even if the Japanese were not killed by the blow on the spot, the wounds would be bleeding to death.
When the artillery bombardment began, there were only more than twenty Japanese troops rushing out of the artillery coverage.
They were lucky to face the death storm composed of shells and gravel directly.
But unfortunately, because there were two heavy machine guns and a company of the National Salvation Army waiting for them in front.
The heavy machine gun bullets intertwined into a firepower net, hitting them head-on, shooting some unlucky guys; the grenades fell from the sky like rain, smashing against them and exploding, killing them with grenade fragments.
If there are Japanese devils who are lucky enough to avoid the joint attack of heavy machine guns and grenades, there are still five or six crooked handles waiting for them in front.
When the smoke that filled the battlefield slowly dissipated, a picture that looked like hell appeared in the vision of the brigade commander...
Then he was stunned and completely disbelief of what he saw. After several seconds, he realized: "How could this happen? The National Salvation Army had only fired dozens of shells just now, but how could it cause such a large casualty to the attacking troops? Could it be that the shells they had just fired were like landmines!"
The subordinates were also scared, and they didn't understand why, so no one answered the brigade commander's question.
"Sir, the offensive troops have suffered heavy casualties and will definitely not be able to continue the attack. Otherwise, if they are withdrawn, they will definitely know why their casualties are so large?" The Chief of Staff reminded.
The brigade commander sighed helplessly: "The artillery and heavy machine guns cover, and all the attacking troops are retreating. You must figure out how we were defeated, otherwise you will continue to attack in a mess!"
Ten minutes later, the squadron leader of the Second Infantry Squadron appeared in front of the brigade commander with injuries, lowered his head and bowed his head.
"What's going on? The National Salvation Army has only fired dozens of shells at you. Why did the attacking troops suffer such heavy casualties!" The brigade commander asked in anger.
The squadron leader took out a few stones with blood and reported: "Sir, the reason is these stones."
"At least half of the casualties we suffered from the shelling were caused by these stones, and Hu Yi's arm was also injured by these stones?"
The brigade commander immediately showed a shocked expression of disbelief. He looked at the gravel in his subordinates' hands and asked with a suspicion: "You mean we were defeated by such stones, how is this possible?"
The squadron leader quickly explained: "Sir, this is indeed the case."
"The National Salvation Army is too cunning. Our attack road is covered with such gravel. When we attacked, Beizhi had not discovered any abnormalities. As soon as the National Salvation Army's artillery attack began, Beizhi tasted the terrifying power of these gravels."
"A shell was smashed, dozens of gravel were blown away, and the number was more than the gravel was broken. It was flying all over the sky and was everywhere. Many soldiers were not hit by the gravel, but were hit by the gravel, either dead or injured..."
The brigade commander understood, but there was no other way except to scold the national rescue army in his heart for being cunning.
