The brigade commander at the rear of the Japanese army was shocked and angry, "Baga! Now you are telling me that we cannot capture Nantianmen. Do I have to report to my superiors and transfer a division?"
The three captains held sabers, lowered their heads, and did not dare to say a word.
"The artillery position was bombed, and you all failed to do so. I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes and capture Nantianmen. If you cannot capture Nantianmen, you should 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 Nantianmen. There are not as many Chinese troops stationed on Nantianmen as expected. Their number is likely to be three regiments.
, among them, they should be facing the main force of the Chinese people head-on, while the left and right wings are the Chinese people's auxiliary defense.
As long as they break through the main Chinese regiment position, they can rely on Nantianmen to threaten the two regiments on the left and right flanks.
Originally this was a sure-win plan, but unexpectedly, in the early morning, their artillery position was attacked by the Chinese. A large number of artillery pieces were blown up, and the artillery shells stored in four tents were also blown up. Among them,
There was another batch shipped from the four northeastern provinces, but they were all destroyed by the Chinese in this attack.
These artillery shells were all supported from the rear. There were a total of two hundred cannons of various calibers, and they were all destroyed in this explosion.
These guns and artillery shells were used to open the Nujiang defense line. They were mobilized from several regiments. Unexpectedly, they were blown up by the Chinese. After hearing the news, the brigade commander
He almost fainted, and he did not even dare to tell the division commander the news, because these guns were the last ones they had left in Burma, and the other guns had been dragged to the Pacific War to fight with the Allied forces.
The destruction of this batch of cannons and artillery shells was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to the entire Japanese army fighting in Burma.
These cannons were so critical that they were blown up under the eyes of three regiments. Moreover, from the beginning to the end of the explosion, the whole process only took more than half an hour. What made him most angry was,
The troops they pursued didn't even leave a single enemy corpse behind.
In other words, the enemy passed through their defense line unscathed and destroyed their vital artillery position in just half an hour under the eyes of a brigade of 5,000 people.
After the regiment leader scolded the three captains away, he sat on the stool angrily, but then he felt a sense of powerlessness.
The artillery position was bombed. It was not easy to destroy the Nantianmen occupied by the Chinese with only some small-caliber artillery shells from each regiment.
"Baga!"
He slammed his hands on the table angrily.
On the Nantianmen, the soldiers on the second line of defense listened to the constant gunshots and the screams of the Japanese from time to time. They realized that the Japanese were pretending to be corpses again.
They had been tricked by the Japanese in this way more than once, and these defeated soldiers hated the Japanese in their hearts.
After Xia Yuan shot the last corpse, he quickly ordered Li Wula to take people to collect the weapons, ammunition and individual equipment on the Japanese soldiers.
"Don't let go of the medicine, the water bottle, and their helmets."
"yes!"
Li Wula immediately led a small group of broken soldiers out of the bunker, "The others are responsible for covering!"
He shouted, quickly ran to the corpse of a Japanese soldier, and took away all the weapons, ammunition and water bottles on the corpse. The soldiers moved very quickly. They were obviously good at touching corpses and knew very well that the bullets on the Japanese soldier were
The location of the bag and knowing how to take out the bullet bag is the fastest.
The Japs left more than 40 rifles and nearly a thousand rounds of ammunition. Basically, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army were equipped with the Japs' Type 38 rifles, and each person could get more than 20 rounds of ammunition.
After the exploratory attack by the Japanese was over, the soldiers fell into a state of doing nothing again. They lit piles of fires in the trenches, mixed the captured cans with water scooped from the Nu River, and cooked a pot of thin paste with a delicious taste.
Not bad, Doubiang ran over with a kettle.
"Captain, drink some water. This water has just been boiled."
Xia Yuan took it, took a sip, and asked, "How does it feel to be my deputy?"
Doubian held the gun and leaned against the trench, with a simple smile on his face: "Captain, you have to say, it's amazing. You're so good at shooting. I don't even admire Brother Kaname, but I admire you.
The Japs are sure to hit them every time."
He added: "It wouldn't work if it were me. I can't shoot accurately. If I help carry the ammunition and change the barrel, there will be no problem."
Xia Yuan smiled: "When shooting, you can't aim at the Japs' body. You have to aim forward. When the Japs attack, they run forward, and it takes time for the bullets to fly over. If you aim at his
If you hit the body, the opponent may run away as soon as the bullet flies over, so the shot will be empty."
When Doubi heard this, he said excitedly: "No wonder the leader is so powerful, I don't even understand this."
Xia Yuan patted Doubian on the shoulder and said, "Practice more and you'll be able to shoot accurately."
Doubian smiled honestly and shook his head: "Captain, I can't come, so I'll just be your and Milong's deputy. My former company commander said that every position is like the four tires of a car.
One, and the car won't be able to run."
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, no matter where you are, it is very important. Without you and Yang Danzi, how could I kill so many little devils by myself with the speed of changing bullets?
You deserve a share of the credit."
Doubi smiled honestly again. Suddenly, his eyes froze and he pointed in the distance and said: "Japanese devils, Japanese devils!"
Xia Yuan looked for the sound, raised his head and looked into the distance. A huge number of Japanese troops appeared in front of the first line of defense. They were far more numerous than the previous attacking teams. They numbered about two hundred people per squadron. There were reconnaissance everywhere on the position.
The message sent by the soldiers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "A Japanese squadron launched an attack on Nantianmen!"
Accompanied by the sporadic sound of artillery overhead, it was the remaining cannons of the Japanese army launching shelling on Nantianmen. The sporadic shells bloomed on Nantianmen, and the rolled up soil was so gorgeous. Such shelling had a huge impact on Nantianmen.
For the defenders, there is nothing to fear.
Xia Yuan immediately laid out the defensive tasks: "Don't panic, everything will go according to plan. Wait for the enemy to get close to 20 meters to shoot and throw grenades! Stay calm! Stay calm!"
Twenty meters is the basic bomb-dropping and shooting range for the defeated soldiers, which can save ammunition to a great extent and at the same time eliminate the Japanese devils.
The attacking Japanese invaders cooperated with each other and continued to approach Nantianmen as combat targets. After crossing the first line of defense, they attacked the second line of defense. They advanced very cautiously, holding their guns and cautiously staring ahead at the sporadic shells.
After exploding on the second line of defense, the remaining Japanese artillery pieces did not cause much casualties to the defeated troops on the second line of defense. They hid in bomb shelters and waited for the Japanese artillery fire.
Veterans are afraid of machine guns, and recruits are afraid of shelling. Many veterans who survived such sporadic shelling on the battlefield have their own methods of avoiding shelling. They listen to the sound position of shelling in the sky, estimate where the shells will fall, and then
They quickly avoided the artillery shells falling from the sky, so when faced with such an artillery bombardment by the Japanese, the defeated soldiers did not panic much.
They still maintained an orderly defense. After the Japanese shelling, they quickly got out of the bunker, found their fighting position, aimed at the Japanese troops in front, and quietly waited for the moment when the battle started.
Xia Yuan still put a lot of effort into the second line of defense. He estimated that after blowing up the Japanese artillery positions, the second line of defense would have to hold on for at least three days.
The longer they stick with it, the better it will be for them.
The defeated troops on the second line of defense could already see the Japanese attacking figure, and the distance between the two sides continued to shrink.
Xia Yuan aimed at the battlefield behind the Japanese army and commanded the sergeant. When the Japanese army approached the forward position of the second line of defense, the Japanese sergeant pulled out his saber, raised his arm high and forward, the shining saber pointed to the sky, and as he announced
After receiving the order to attack, the Japanese troops who were advancing cautiously suddenly seemed to have gone crazy. The battle formation that was advancing cautiously suddenly dispersed into a skirmishing line.
They held their guns and rushed towards the second line of defense quickly.
Just after the Japanese sergeant who shouted to attack gave the order to charge, a bullet suddenly shot down from the second line of defense. The Japanese sergeant fell heavily to the ground, and the sergeant's adjutant next to him
Terrified, he immediately went to check on the Japanese sergeant's injuries. He faintly heard the sound of bullets shooting through the sky, and then his vision went black, and his head fell on the Japanese sergeant's body.
The battle is about to break out.
The soldiers on the forward position of the second line of defense threw grenades at the attacking Japanese soldiers, the soldiers on the second trench fired at the Japanese soldiers, and in the designed firepower point set up on the third trench, several experienced marksmen became skilled
The veterans formed a firepower point, firing bullet after bullet at the Japanese soldiers who rushed up.
The soldiers on each trench had a clear division of labor and each performed his or her duties. When approaching the forward position of the second line of defense, a large number of more than 200 Japanese soldiers had already fallen. Some of the Japanese soldiers used individual grenades.
They were all sniped one by one by Xia Yuan.
Yangdanzi and Doubian grabbed a handful of bullets and quickly helped Xia Yuan press the bullets. After pressing the bullets, they handed them over, took the empty gun and continued to press the bullets.
This is Xia Yuan's countermeasures against the Japanese attack. Everyone performs their duties and makes the best use of everything.
Three trenches were dug on the second line of defense. The trenches at the forward position curved forward and extended into a single soldier pit, which could accommodate two soldiers. They could throw grenades at the Japanese army in the single soldier pit. When the Japanese army approached the forward position,
At this time, they can retreat through the crooked, 'S'-shaped traffic trenches. On the way of retreat, there are blocking pits. Two soldiers cooperate with each other. You retreat and I block, which can inflict maximum casualties to the Japanese army, and use
Grenades can greatly disrupt the Japanese offensive formation and cause it to become chaotic.
Xia Yuan sniped and killed the Japanese battlefield commander, making it difficult for the Japanese army to form an offensive formation in a short period of time after being blown apart by grenades.
The second trench is for fire suppression. They don't need to shoot very accurately. They only need to keep pulling the trigger on the Japanese army. The Japanese army that was blown away by the soldiers on the front line with grenades is the weakest in combat effectiveness.
, they were able to easily suppress the attacking Japanese army.
The third step is the most important. The several design firepower points established adopted the method that Xia Yuan learned from the US military in constructing machine gun bunkers on Shangganling. Using logs and a thick layer of soil can greatly reduce the Japanese artillery shells.
After the Japanese artillery positions were destroyed, all large-caliber guns were lost, and it was difficult for small-caliber guns to blast through such a designed firepower point.
We are looking for a few soldiers who are skilled in shooting and have accurate marksmanship to place them in these firing points to carry out precise shooting at the suppressed Japanese troops.
Such close cooperation required unified command. Long Wenwen and Meng Fanlia kept walking between the two trenches through the communication trenches, passing orders so that the defeated soldiers could maximize their combat effectiveness without the threat of artillery shells.
Every broken soldier lay on the trench unharmed and fired at the Japanese army.
A Japanese squadron of more than 200 people faced a second line of defense guarded by two companies and 300 men. It was a line of defense that was defended by a tight and orderly army of broken soldiers. It was a seemingly indestructible line of defense.
"Use damaging moves, use damaging moves to beat them!"
Long Wenwen shouted loudly, his voice mixed with a tone of resentment. He kept slapping the defeated soldiers on defense. He stared at the attacking Japanese troops and opened his mouth. A Japanese squadron was in charge of the attack.
After being blocked by the second line of defense, they no longer carried out the desperate attack as before, but began to look for bunkers such as bomb craters and shoot at the broken soldiers on the second line of defense.
"See, the Japanese are afraid. As long as they stop, it means they are afraid. What does it mean that the Japanese are afraid? It means that we are more powerful than them and stronger than them! The little Japanese are relying on their cannons.
They bullied us, now they have no guns, look what they have become now."
Long Wenwen shouted on the battlefield at the top of his lungs. The bullets swished through his head. He shrank his head and hugged his body. He waited until there were no more bullets in his head. Then he stood up and continued shouting at the top of his lungs: "There are no more cannons. They
It's just like us, the little Japanese Japs are dying. In the past, we had to use two battalions to cooperate with one Japanese squadron, or even one regiment to besiege them. Now, we only use two companies to deal with one squadron."
"Two companies. In the past, two companies were not enough for a squadron of little Japanese to fill the gap between our teeth. Now, one squadron of little Japanese is not enough for us to fill our teeth. Hahahaha, things have changed."
Facing a squadron of Japanese troops, the soldiers on the second line of defense became more and more courageous. When they saw that the Japanese were dying, they screamed with excitement. Especially after Long Wenwen finished cursing, the fighting mood of the defeated soldiers was
