Chapter 242: Fire Reconnaissance II

Just when Tang Jiabao was worried, the Japanese grenade launcher grenades carried out extended shooting. This time, it exploded less than ten meters in front of a squad. The explosion shrapnel and the soil raised flew into the bunker, hitting the cotton plants and branches and leaves around him, making a "rustling" sound, and the explosion burst into smoke and fire, which even allowed everyone to clearly see the distance between each other and the bunker.

He heard the sound of dense explosions of grenade launchers and kept moving closer, and Yang An's eyes and lids twitched.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Another grenade launcher grenade explosion. The sound of this explosion was only five to ten meters away from the bunker of the first squad. Some grenades were closer to the bunker than the previous round of explosions, and only three to four meters away from the bunker. The effective killing radius of grenade launcher grenades is seven to ten meters, and the shrapnel can fly up to twenty or thirty meters. The dense shrapnel hit the steel helmets of the National Army soldiers, making the helmet "Ding, Ding, Ding" sound, and the mud fell on the steel helmets "rust" sound.

Tang Jiabao also felt that the Japanese grenade bombing point was getting closer and closer to the bunker. He didn't expect that he would hit the Japanese and stab the hornet's nest, but it attracted crazy revenge from the Japanese army. He thought that if the bombing point continued to extend and covered the line of a bunker, it would cause unexpected casualties. He was also hesitating whether to order the whole class to retreat, but when he saw the tracer bullets fired by the Japanese light and heavy machine guns in the cotton field, the tracer bullets hit the bunker and the surroundings, causing soil to splash, and the surrounding cotton plants were all beaten into bare poles, he decided to let the whole class hide in the bunker.

Yang An did not expect that the temporary position chosen by the squad was near the maximum range of the Japanese grenade launcher grenade. If the Japanese army extended to launch grenades again, it would cover the individual bunkers on this line. Thinking of this, Yang An felt cold sweat coming out from behind. Seeing the tracer bullets weaving a beautiful bright red fire net in the night, Yang An instinctively pressed his body against the ground, and his body couldn't help but tremble. He didn't know if Squad Leader Tang would give the order to retreat, but he still felt that the bunker was safer, and he secretly thanked that at the beginning, he dug the bunker deeper and the soil in front of the bunker was thicker.

The Japanese grenades continued to explode at the front line of the explosion site just now, and the soldiers of a squad of soldiers were all hung up. Soon, the sound of the explosion gradually became sparse. Then, it became quiet.

The Japanese army found that there was no enemy shooting outside the position, so they stopped shooting and fire suppression.

The quiet surroundings finally made the hearts of a squad of soldiers fall down. This time, it was safe and safe, which made Tang Jiabao secretly proud and glad that this line of bunker just chose to be outside the maximum range of the Japanese grenade launcher.

Tang Jiabao whispered the command to both sides, "Machine Gun Warning, Retreat". In this way, ten people from the squad did not care about the dust on their bodies. After hearing the order, they crawled one by one, retreated carefully, and returned safely. At this time, all the officers and squad leaders of the company gathered together, waiting for the company commander to issue combat orders.

Tang Jiabao reported to the company commander Qiao Yunqi, and platoon commander Yuan Qifu reported the Japanese firepower configuration and waited for the order. After a while, the second squad leader Qin Weihua and the third squad leader Deng Tieniu returned one after another, and the two also reported the reconnaissance and casualties.

Tang Jiabao learned that one person in Class 2 was killed and one person was seriously injured and one person was slightly injured, and four people in Class 3 were slightly injured. He secretly felt that the construction of the bunker played a good role in covering.

When the company commander heard about the casualties of the second and third squads, the company commander frowned tightly, then looked at Tang Jiabao and asked, "Why are there no casualties in your squad?"

Tang Jiabao said: "After our squad passed, we secretly dug up individual bunkers. When the Japanese machine guns were fired, we were not threatened at all. We just built the bunkers, which just exceeded the maximum range of the Japanese grenade launcher. Hehe, it was a bit safe. If we were closer to the Japanese army, we would probably have to be bombed and there would be casualties."

"Everyone has listened well. In the future, we must learn from Class 1 when fighting, use our brains more, and order the bunkers to be built. We must build them well. Only by preserving ourselves can we better eliminate the Japanese army."

Judging from the situation of daytime reconnaissance and nighttime fire reconnaissance, there are less than one squadron of Japanese troops in the village, but the firepower configurations such as light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers have been significantly strengthened. The company commander reported the reconnaissance to his superiors in a timely manner. According to the combat arrangements of the superiors, the main force of the regiment will bypass the current village and continue to advance. The Second Battalion will complete the task of annihilation of the current enemy alone.

The main attack direction of the entire battalion was still chosen in the direction of the first squad reconnaissance, because the Japanese firepower configuration here was obviously weaker than the other two directions. The Fourth Company was responsible for feint attacks from the two directions of the first squad and the third squad to attract the attention of the Japanese army. The Fifth Company was used as the sharp knife company to serve as the main attack mission, and the Sixth Company was the reserve team to follow up after the fifth company.

As a sharp knife squad, a squad quietly lurked to the bunker that had been excavated before. The main force of the company followed the two or three hundred and one line away from the enemy formation. Nine Czech ZB26 light machine guns in the entire company were concentrated on one side of the attack line of the entire platoon and began to build a machine gun shooting bunker.

According to the combat arrangement of the entire battalion, the Fourth Company opened fire from two directions at the same time and launched a feint attack on the enemy in the village. For a time, dense gunshots sounded inside and outside the village. The Japanese light and heavy machine guns fired tracer bullets, and a series of beautiful rays pointed directly at the attacking national army. The Fourth Company's feint attack was followed by the advice of the company commander of the Fifth Company Qiao Yunqi, and had already set the offensive position outside the 200-meter line. The Japanese grenade launcher grenades bombed in an indiscriminate manner, which did not cause any casualties.

The Japanese army launched flares in the direction of the attack of the National Army. The flares passed through the sky and slowly landed from the highest point. The dazzling whiteness illuminated the cotton fields and allowed the Japanese army to see the shooting boundary more clearly. Even if the shooting boundary was clear, the judgment of distance at night and during the day was extremely different, which made the Japanese army in the village lose their accurate judgment. They fired grenades grenades at the attacking positions of the National Army, "Boom, Boom, Boom...", and the explosion sounds endlessly.

While the Japanese army fired grenades, the Japanese army in the village fired 81mm mortar shells at the fourth company's attacking position. The mortar fire speed was 20 rounds per minute. For a moment, dense explosion sounds sounded in the farmland, and fire and smoke rose up one after another, causing the officers and soldiers of the main force in the battalion in the distance to worry.

The flares fired in the direction of the feint attack made the world brighter from darkness, and soon the flares of light and darker, making the sight of both sides extremely dark again. Under the lighting, the Japanese army began to shoot, and soon the flares fell to the ground, and the eyes turned into darkness. This light and darkness made people's eyes more difficult to adapt. The Japanese army blindly fired in the darkness, consuming a large amount of ammunition, but did not cause actual casualties in the national army. However, because the Japanese army had limited military strength, the Japanese army did not rashly rush out of the position to launch a counterattack.

Soon, the firepower of the feint attack was suppressed by the Japanese army, and the two sides were still in a confrontation.

As soon as Yang An entered the bunker, he found that this bunker was not the bunker he had before. He took out a shovel and gently dug out the loose soil in the farmland to make the bunker deeper.

Perhaps he was not convinced by Yang An's military promotion in the past two days. Qin Weihua, the second squad leader, who was not far from Yang An, had been paying attention to Yang An's every move. Although Yang An's actions were very careful, they still attracted his attention.

Qin Weihua gently spit out a word from his mouth: "Ph!"

He vented his inner dissatisfaction, but his eyes were still paying attention to the recruit from time to time.

Just as Yang An had dug up the shelter, the order "hiddenly catch the enemy and fire at any time" came from beside him.

Earlier, the Kuomintang army carried out firepower reconnaissance on the enemy in three directions, and the Japanese army stared at the front of the position with their eyes tightly.

I don’t know if it was the Japanese army who discovered the national army or the Japanese army carried out fire reconnaissance, and the light and heavy machine guns on the Japanese positions opened fire together and fired in the direction of the fifth company lurking.
