Chapter 104: Bloody Mountains and Rivers (6)
Chapter 104: Blood stains mountains and rivers (Sixth)
Zhang Xuewu was not surprised that the Japanese army chose the attack time at dusk, because the fierce light weapons firepower of the defenders had already caused the Japanese to hit the south wall.
Zhang Xuewu admitted that this tactic was quite effective, whether during the War of Resistance Against Japan or during the later period of the War of Resistance and Aid Korea, many wars proved that as long as there were enough artillery fire strikes and gave more than 30% of the enemy's will toll, the enemy's will to reduce and weaken, and even collapsed and abandoned his position.
There cannot be said that there are no cases of defending the dead, but after all, those who can only be individual special existences, and even a few are not considered flesh and blood. People who are not soldiers made of steel are not meaningless advocacy. They are the greatest irresponsibility to the soldiers who bleed and sacrificed.
During the war, the displaced and flesh-and-departed family members were the most destroyed and the children of ordinary people were the most involved in the war. However, when facing the Japanese Japanese pirates who were selfless and undead in the Chinese thief, it was these ordinary people who paid heavy taxes, could not fill their stomachs, and were not covered in clothes, with their flesh and blood to build a flesh and blood Great Wall that would save the nation from danger in the storm.
Boom! A grenade exploded near the railway line that was less than four or five hundred meters away from command. The huge shock wave instantly broke all the glass in the women's middle school. Zhang Xuewu, who was tinnitus, looked at the blood flowing out of the wounds cut by glass fragments behind him, and his heart tightened suddenly! The Japanese artillery fire seemed to have begun to extend?
Zhao Xinyu waved Browning's conch card and shouted: "Order all troops to enter the position!"
Under the sharp whistle, the Chinese soldiers dragged Maxine's heavy machine guns and rushed from the bunker to the machine gun shooting position, and the troops began to enter the position along the traffic trench.
"How long has the Japanese heavy artillery been extended?" Li Xinkai was slightly stunned in the face of Zhang Xuewu's inquiry, looked at his watch and said, "Eleven minutes!"
Zhang Xuewu looked at the side ridge of Majiagou and said anxiously: "Immediately order Zhao Xinyu to withdraw his troops! Quick!"
"Ah?" Li Xinkai was stunned in place. He could not understand Zhang Xuewu's intention. Zhang Xuewu obviously had no time to explain anything to him. He pulled Li Xinkai away with his hand. As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard a rumbling sound of cannons coming from the side ridge of Majiagou. The phone in Zhang Xuewu's hand suddenly slid to the ground.
After walking around the sand table for a few quick laps, Zhang Xuewu said with a firm face amid the deafening explosion: "Order the first battalion of the reserve team to go to the front line of Majiagou Bianling for reinforcements, and the division chief of staff Li Xinkai was in charge of supervising the battle!"
Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said to Li Xin: "You can't be impatient after going up. This is my negligence. You can't blame you. Let Zhao Xinyu sit firmly. He is the one who fights in Japan. In addition, I will send a few teams out to touch a few Japanese tongues for me. I want to know which Japanese army is opposite and who is the commander! Do you understand?"
Li Xinkai nodded, put on a steel helmet and led the guard platoon to the side ridge of Majiagou. The official tactical term for the Japanese artillery surprise attack was double artillery fire duplex propulsion and suppression. As the name suggests, first use artillery fire to attack the enemy, relax the enemy's reinforcements, destroy its fortification defense system, and then extend the artillery fire, giving the enemy an illusion that infantry is about to attack, and then using fierce artillery fire to destroy the enemy's living forces to kill and injure the enemy's army.
This tactic is simply not worth mentioning in later generations. This tactic that Americans first created and used in the Battle of the Marne River in World War I could only suppress firepower and protect the party with sufficient support, which means it is a tactic with the so-called rich people.
Compared with military strength and firepower, Zhang Xuewu's new first division is an absolutely first-class unit in the national army, whether in terms of training, civil engineering, light firepower system, and morale. However, in terms of technical troops, Zhang Xuewu only has a 75-mm mountain field cannon, and does not have a howitzer of more than 100 mm, let alone a 150-mm field heavy howitzer.
So Zhang Xuewu can't afford this tactic! However, Zhang Xuewu believes that the Japanese cannot afford to play it several times. That country that poor men can't even wear shorts, with their capacity, how many shells can they transport to? Can they smooth Chengde City from the earth?
If the attacking US troops were the US troops, Zhang Xuewu would have launched a decisive raid at night until the last soldier, because the Americans had too many shells to bomb Chengde on Mars, while the Japanese could not. They had no family background. Sure enough, ten minutes later, the Japanese artillery fire extended again.
Even with only ten minutes of fierce shelling, the first and second defense line of Majiagou side ridge was in a mess. The Maxin heavy machine gun, which had almost become parts, was blown into small pieces, and was shocked to death by soldiers in the artillery cave. The fortifications that were rested were completely destroyed by only the second Japanese bombardment. The bodies piled into the fortifications were blown out again, and this time they all turned into small pieces that could not be even matched.
Is this the power of heavy artillery? The surviving Chinese officers and soldiers looked at each other. To be honest, the Japanese army's mountain artillery bombardment was also very fierce before, but the brave veterans still dared to stare at the artillery fire to attack the Japanese cold guns. However, this time it was different. A crater was at least four or five meters in size, and could blow up the hard frozen soil into a pot-shaped pit that was more than meter deep. If a person stepped on it, the soil would be loosened and the ankle would be blocked.
The surviving Chinese officers and soldiers supported each other and shouted to set up defenses, but the Japanese infantry still did not launch an attack, and simply did not carry out the earth-shaking artillery of the Japanese army!
The side ridge of Majiagou! Seng Guanfeng was all organized by the Japanese army! Zhang Xuewu used his pen to draw two arrows on the map. Is the Japanese army ready to attack two support points at the same time? Or attack three support points at the same time? The Japanese commander Dingfei, who could plan to use double artillery duplex propulsion to suppress them? Is it not a single iron plate in the Japanese? Or are they also suspicious of each other in order to win military achievements?
This must be the case. Zhang Xuewu gave a breath slightly. He knew that the Japanese army's attack would definitely be around four in the morning, because that time was the most tired and sleepy time for the human body's biological clock, and it was most suitable for the Japanese army, who were waiting for work, to enter the assault, so the Japanese army was destined to be extremely relaxed in the first half of the night.
The Japanese army's attack on two or three support points at the same time made Zhang Xuewu feel relieved, because doing so would disperse their attack power and sustainability. The defenders' infantry light weapons firepower had an absolute advantage. Once the Japanese attack approached the defenders' positions, the Japanese heavy artillery would almost be unable to play a role. Moreover, the artillery management life of a heavy artillery was only 210. If the full charge was fired, the lifespan would be reduced. Therefore, based on the lifespan of the Japanese artillery barrel, coupled with the Japanese logistics supply method and the journey from Jinzhou to Chaoyang and Chengde, it is difficult to infer the amount of ammunition carried by a heavy artillery joint and brigade of the Japanese army.
In the direction of Sengguanfeng, the Japanese army used double artillery duplex propulsion to promote the suppression tactics, and the main peak and two wings of Sengguanfeng could only be placed at most three companies at a time, so the casualties of Wang Chuang's second regiment were not large.
