Soon, the flat land in front of me turned from a small pit into a half-meter-deep individual bunker. Coupled with the pile of dirt piled in front of the individual bunker, it was enough for me to squat in it.
Of course, such a personal bunker is just the beginning. The soldiers squatted in such a bunker and continued digging without any pause. After digging again for less than ten minutes, the individual bunkers had been deepened by themselves.
The depth of one meter, plus the mounds of soil piled in front of me, was enough for me to walk in the individual bunker with my body hunched over. Finally, the first step of digging for good transportation was completed.
With the cover of individual bunkers, these soldiers no longer had any worries. They began to quickly dig horizontally, connecting the individual bunkers into trenches. The soldiers at the front dug trenches, and the soldiers at the rear
There was no idle time, and several people took turns to dig forward the traffic trench.
You know, in order for a mountain gun or field gun to enter the exhibition trench and drive to the front line, the width of the entire communication trench requires a distance of at least 2 meters. Faced with a large workload, no soldier complained. Because everyone
Knowing that with these communication trenches and the support of the artillery battalion's artillery, their safety will be more guaranteed in the following battle. Therefore, on the cold night, the soldiers were almost shirtless and worked hard
Dig forward...
Finally, about an hour after the soldiers started digging, the increasingly louder noises finally broke through the cover of the little devil's singing and reached the ears of the Japanese sentries.
"Baga...there is movement in front of the position...Quickly, launch flares..." Soon, the Japanese commander, who noticed something was wrong, loudly ordered to the surrounding soldiers.
"Boom...woo..." As a flare took off, the Japanese soldiers guarding the position finally saw the scene in front of them clearly. They saw that only fifty meters away from their position, there were already piles of
Countless mounds of soil were raised. And just behind the mounds, shovel after shovel of soil was being lifted out, and the shovels were slapped on the mounds for reinforcement. It was obvious that behind the mounds, there must be
There are enemies of their own who are digging bunkers.
"Baga, it must be the Eighth Route Army. What do these Eighth Route Army want to do? Hurry, go and report to the commander of the company and order all troops to enter combat positions. The Eighth Route Army has surrounded us. Hurry..." Through the telescope, the entire defense was discovered
Countless mounds of earth appeared in three directions of the position. The Japanese squad leader couldn't help being surprised and roared at the messenger next to him.
"Hi, your Excellency, squad leader," he said when he saw countless mounds of earth and the continuously extending trenches. The messenger was also frightened into a cold sweat, and his eyes were staring at the enemy moving not far away. After receiving the squad leader's message,
He did not dare to neglect the order, and quickly spread his legs and ran towards the high command headquarters of the defensive position.
Just as the soldiers began to dig trenches covertly, the Japanese regiment commander Nagano Yuichiro, the heavy artillery battalion commander Major Murura Ichiro, the regiment chief of staff, and the two infantry battalion captains were gathered around the headquarters.
On the table, they were chatting and laughing. While drinking sake, they were thinking about each other boasting about their experiences in China. The whole headquarters was very lively. They had no idea that danger was slowly coming to them.
"Report, report to your Excellency, Captain, the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army has surrounded us..." The ordering soldier panted and ran to the door of the headquarters. Seeing a group of officers gathered around the table, he did not care about his own military appearance.
, shouted loudly to the people around the table.
"Bagalu, what are you so worried about? As an excellent imperial army of the Great Empire, why don't you pay attention to your military appearance? Look at you, what do you look like now? Baga, sort out your military uniforms immediately...
." Seeing a messenger interrupting his interest in a very disappointing way, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Yuichiro Nagano, felt unhappy and cursed loudly.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain, but the military situation is urgent..." The messenger quickly explained when he saw the angry-faced Captain.
"Bagh Yalu, as an outstanding soldier of the Communist Empire, no matter how big the military situation is, you must pay attention to your military appearance. What did you just say? Has the Eighth Route Army surrounded us?" Although the captain was unhappy,
But he calmed down quickly and began to ask questions.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain, I will definitely remember your teachings. I would like to inform you, Your Excellency, our defensive position has been surrounded by nearly 10,000 people of the Eighth Route Army. We are currently digging trenches in front of our position. Please hurry up, Your Excellency, Captain."
Issue combat orders." The ordering soldier quickly tidied up his military appearance, stood at attention and reported.
"Nani, dig trenches. Does the Eighth Route Army want to trap us? Haha, gentlemen, please come with me to the forward position to see what the Eighth Route Army wants to do. Chief of Staff, order all combat troops to immediately
Get into your combat positions and everyone is ready to fight." After saying that, with the help of his orderlies, the commander slowly put on his military uniform and led a group of officers to the forward position slowly.
The Japanese commander, Nagano Yuichiro, didn't know that it was his slowness and confidence that gave the Eighth Route Army on the front line another half an hour to dig trenches. The little Japs lying in the fortifications on the front line were indeed because
Without orders from his commander, he could only lie there blankly, seeing the Eighth Route Army plundering his forward position, but he could not take any action.
In just half an hour, the soldiers had simply connected their individual bunkers. More importantly, in order to prevent the little devils from launching a counterattack, heavy machine guns and light machine guns
, the mortar was carried by the soldiers to the position that had already formed a certain shape.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Captain, the Eighth Route Army was only 50 meters in front of our army's position. Taking advantage of the darkness and our army's meal break, they suddenly dug a trench. They also transported a large number of weapons and troops. Now they are attacking
Reinforce and widen your own trenches." Seeing that the commander and the commanders finally arrived at the position in front of them. A squadron leader who had been guarding the position in fear finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the commander to report.
.
"Nani, just 50 meters in front of our position? Baga! Give me flares and binoculars, quick!" I heard that the Eighth Route Army actually built its own trenches to a distance of only 50 meters wide from its own defensive position.
, the commander of the regiment suddenly reacted. He couldn't help being surprised, and loudly ordered to the officers around him.
Immediately, three rounds of illumination bombs were fired into the sky. The three bright rounds of illumination bombs clearly illuminated the front of their position. Even the heavy machine guns set up in the trenches of the Eighth Route Army clearly appeared in front of them.
in the telescope.
"Bagheya Road, how did you patrol? Why did the Eighth Route Army come in front of us, but you didn't find anything. Bageya Road, everyone is dead..." Seeing the scene in front of him, Lian Lian
The captain just cursed at the squadron leader in front of him?
"Hi, your Excellency, Commander, what should we do now?" the squadron leader said aggrievedly. However, seeing the angry face of the commander, he did not dare to complain and asked in a low voice.
"Baga, bastard, immediately launch a countercharge against the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, and be sure to drive them out of the trenches in front of you. Let them return to the range of our heavy artillery, and use our cannons to destroy the Eighth Route Army in front of you." Captain Nagano
Colonel Yuichiro roared.
"Hi, your Excellency, the commander, I will organize the troops to launch a counterattack. Drive these Eighth Route Army troops out of their trenches." After the squadron leader finished speaking, he quickly escaped from the already furious commander and began to organize the charging troops.
Soon, a squadron of little Japs, under the command of the Japanese squadron leader, assembled and prepared for a countercharge. Of course, everything that happened on the Japanese position was also reflected when they fired the flares.
In the eyes of the commander on the Eighth Route Army position.
"Battal Commander, the little Japs are gathering troops. If nothing else happens, they should launch a counterattack..." A company commander saw the movement on the Japanese position and quickly reminded the battalion commander beside him.
"Haha, I have seen it. The Japanese army is divided into three assault teams. Tell all the machine gunners on the position to open fire as soon as the Japanese army breaks out of their position. Don't save bullets for me. After the bullets are used up, the little devil will have too many
That's right." The battalion commander smiled and confidently ordered to the several company commanders around him. Because, from the beginning of the entire campaign to so far, it has basically not exceeded the headquarters' estimates, and it has completely followed the commander's instructions.
Ideas evolve.
"Yes, battalion commander, don't worry. Let the little devil have a good taste of how powerful the main force of the first division of our *** division is." Several company commanders said with the same confidence.
"Da da da... kill me..." Just when the soldiers were getting ready to meet the enemy, the heavy machine guns on the enemy's position began to spit out tongues of fire. Dust was flying on the position where there was a dense rain of bullets, and
Immediately following the sound of heavy machine gun fire, there was the howl of the charging Japs. Under the reflection of the bonfire on the Japanese defense position, three small groups of Japanese troops formed three directions. Under the command of their respective commanders, they quickly rushed through
He took his own defensive position and rushed towards the trench that the Eighth Route Army had just dug.
"Well done. Order all the machine gunners not to save ammunition for me and open fire..." the battalion commander ordered loudly to the machine gunners on the position.
"Click, click, click..." In an instant, dozens of light and heavy machine guns hidden on the position suddenly appeared in front of the Japanese army. The dense tongues of flames spewed out by dozens of light and heavy machine guns suddenly created a fire in front of the position.
A fire net that was denser than that of the Japanese army not only suppressed the frontal defensive firepower of the Japanese army at once, but also effectively killed the charging Japs.
"Kill them..." Maybe these little devils had been sentenced to death by their superiors before setting off. Faced with such dense flames, not a single soldier stopped charging or retreated. The soldiers in front fell after being shot.
, the little devil behind stepped on his body and continued to charge.
Each one was like a kid on stimulants. Under the command of his commander, he rushed forward one after another. In less than a few minutes, almost all the kidnappers from the three attacking teams fell to the guns of the soldiers.
Next. There were more than a hundred little Japs, and in an instant, there were only corpses scattered on the ground and a dozen seriously wounded wounded soldiers squirming on the battlefield.
"Bagaya Road, my soldiers...Baga, the heavy artillery brigade, give me a bombardment immediately. I want to blow up the Eighth Route Army's position in front. I want to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army and leave them dead." See yourself with your own eyes.
In just a few minutes, all the soldiers of a squadron fell to the gunfire of the Eighth Route Army. The squad leader's eyes were filled with shock and anger. He roared at the captain of the heavy artillery brigade next to him, "Look no further."
To the confidence I just gained.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Eighth Route Army's position is less than 50 meters away from our army. The power of the heavy artillery of our heavy artillery brigade is really too great. If we shell the Eighth Route Army's position, our position will also be threatened.
, was hit by an artillery shell." After listening to the obviously irrational order from the regiment commander Nagano Yuichiro, the captain of the heavy artillery brigade did not go to convey the order and explained.
"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army, they must have seen this. They knew that at a distance of 50 meters, our grenades and heavy artillery were no threat to them, so they dug trenches at such a long distance. Bagya Road
, the cunning Eighth Route Army." The commander of the regiment yelled.
"Your Excellency, Captain, although our grenades and heavy artillery pose no threat to the Eighth Route Army in the trenches, the grenades in our hands can directly shoot grenades into their trenches. If we can concentrate all the weapons of the entire wing,
grenades to fire a covering shot at the enemy's trenches. Then, the Eighth Route Army staying on the position will definitely be blown to pieces by our intensive artillery fire..." Just when the company commander was troubled, the staff officer behind him
The chief suddenly reminded.
"Yo Xi, what the Chief of Staff said is very correct. We will use grenade launchers. No matter what, we must drive the Eighth Route Army out of the trenches in front. Now we are ordering to gather all the grenades in the entire regiment and attack the trenches of the Eighth Route Army in front of us.
Carry out indiscriminate bombardment and drive these Eighth Route Army troops out." The commander of the regiment ordered loudly, his face once again regaining its previous confidence.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander..." Upon hearing the order, the Chief of Staff quickly followed the order and left.
Just like that. In less than ten minutes, more than 50 grenade launchers were placed in front of the commander.
"Yo Xi, after such intensive bombardment by grenade cannons, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite position will definitely be blown to pieces by our artillery fire." Colonel Nagano, the commander of the regiment, said confidently. However, he didn't know
, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was not unprepared.
You must know that in order to prevent the impact of such grenades, the trenches dug in the first division are not in a straight line, but in an S-shape, constantly bending. Therefore, even if a grenade accurately falls into the trench, it will only be directly
Only by hitting the target can it cause damage to the warriors.
More importantly, in order to counterattack the enemy's grenade launchers, Sun Xingbang assembled two mortar companies in the entire forward position. In addition to the large number of grenade launchers he brought, in terms of firepower density,
Not weaker than the little Japanese on the opposite side (because at this time, the Japanese heavy artillery has completely become a decoration).
"Everything..." A burst of fire flashed out on the Japanese army's position. Dozens of grenades shot out of the air with a huge whistling sound and landed on the Eighth Route Army's position. Suddenly, the Eighth Route Army's position was still dark just now.
, immediately fell into a sea of fire. And indeed under the orders of their respective commanders, when they heard the whistling of artillery shells, the soldiers had already put down their work and squatted in the narrow trench.
"Haha, the little devil's grenades have finally been dispatched. Order all artillerymen to prepare for bombardment and try to destroy at least half of the Japanese grenades in one fell swoop." Seeing the Japanese army's dense grenades exploding on their own positions, as the commander,
Sun Xingbang did not have any worries, but ordered excitedly.
Because not only can the enemy's artillery fire not cause too much damage to one's own troops, but one's own counterattack artillery fire can indeed knock out the enemy's only long-range heavy firepower at once, reducing the burden on the upcoming attack.
"Boom, boom, boom..." As the Japanese army's dense grenades continued to fall on the position, the entire position was almost completely covered by fierce artillery fire. But the Japanese grenade launcher confidently believed that his shelling was about to wipe out the position.
When we got to the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army's artillery finally began to counterattack.
"Everything..." The sound of mortars, which was duller than a grenade, sounded behind the Eighth Route Army position that had become a sea of fire. 24 rounds of artillery shells, sandwiched with dozens of grenades, carried a huge
With a whistling sound, they passed over the Eighth Route Army position that had become a sea of fire and flew directly towards the enemy's grenade position.
"Ah, Baga, the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire, move quickly... boom boom boom..." Just when the Japanese army heard the huge roar and saw the rain of shells, it was already too late. The rain of shells
, as if it had eyes, it hit the Japanese position accurately.
All of a sudden, the grenade launcher position that had been tight just now was blown to pieces after dozens of rounds of grenades and artillery shells. Bodies of killed soldiers and damaged grenade launchers were everywhere...
.
"Bagya Road, move quickly..." After a round of artillery fire, the surviving Japanese commanders crawled out of the ruins as quickly as possible and shouted orders to the surviving soldiers on the position.
.However, it was already too late at this time, because the second round of artillery fire from the soldiers had already come.
