Fighters were fighting each other in the sky, and the infantry on the ground were not idle either. At this time, in a hidden command post on the ground, Su Rui was holding a telescope to watch the ground troops attack.
Now the 300 Division encountered a problem. They were stopped by the Japanese army at a place called Makou Lake.
The terrain of Makou Lake is narrow, with the narrowest width being no more than 3,000 meters. In front of the narrow pass, from left to right is Turtle Mountain, Shasha Nao and Zhushuxia and other highlands lined up like lumps. Behind this line of highlands, the elevation is five
The 100-meter-high Yuping Mountain blocks the front like a wall. This lump-like line of high ground and most of Yuping Mountain and its surrounding highlands are covered with bunker positions entangled with barbed wire and skilfully covered skirmishing trenches.
The newly appointed commander of the Sixth Division, Inaba Shiro, attaches great importance to this place and has deployed all the 13th and 47th regiments of the 11th Brigade here. In addition, the reinforced artillery regiment of the Sixth Division is also stationed here.
here.
After the Battle of Nanjing, the strength of the artillery wing of the Sixth Division was increased. Now its artillery wing is an enhanced type, with a total of twelve 120-caliber howitzers and thirty-six 75-caliber field guns.
.Because the artillery regiment had built a complete artillery position, it was inextricably linked to the heavy artillery regiment of the 300 Division at the beginning of the war.
"boom……"
A cannonball landed under a hill, and the rising black smoke enveloped the two charging soldiers. When the black smoke cleared, the two soldiers disappeared.
There were constant rounds of bullets sweeping across the battlefield with a sharp and harsh sound, which was the sound of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun. Soldiers continued to fall on the path of the attack.
Seeing that the attack was blocked, Su Rui's thick eyebrows frowned tightly. He felt that things were somewhat different from what he had expected. The Japanese army here actually had such complete defenses, which also made the attack difficult.
doubled increase.
He turned around and asked Liang Zhi, the chief of staff next to him with some confusion: "Zi Ran, as far as I know, the Sixth Division occupied Guangji for less than a week. How did it build such a complete fortification?"
Woolen cloth?"
Liang Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Master, the fortifications here were not built by the Japanese, but by the Japanese who were stationed here at the time. After the fall of Guangji, the fortifications here were naturally made easier for the Japanese."
"Grass!"
Su Rui couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, "What the hell is this?" He was actually blocked by the fortifications built by his own people.
After thinking about it, Su Rui said: "Order the artillery to fire smoke grenades to cover the infantry charge, and also tell Lin Shiqian to pay attention to the casualties of the troops. Never act recklessly."
"yes!"
The one responsible for attacking Makou Lake was Wu Chengfeng's 657th Regiment. Under the command of Wu Chengfeng, the entire regiment of more than 2,000 people was divided into three waves to continuously attack the Japanese positions. However, the situation was still not optimistic, and two of them had already been attacked.
It lasted for more than an hour, but the steep and dangerous terrain restricted their use of firepower. They suffered nothing but more than a hundred casualties.
Wu Chengfeng was extremely anxious when he saw soldiers falling down under the Japanese bullets. At this time, the phone rang. It was the brigade commander Lin Shiqian who called: "Wu Chengfeng, can you do it? If you can't, hurry up."
Come down here, don't waste your time in the latrine, my time is precious!"
Wu Chengfeng said loudly: "Brigade, the terrain here is too dangerous, and the brothers are completely unable to use it. I would like to increase the artillery cover, and it is best to obtain air cover. Otherwise, let alone four hours, it will be four."
God may not be able to capture Makou Lake."
At this point, Wu Chengfeng's tone turned into a pleading one again, "Hotel, it's not that we don't work hard, it's that the terrain here is too dangerous. If there is no external help, if we want to capture this place, we must at least prepare for the losses."
The preparations of a group, but if this is the case, is there any point in us attacking Makou Lake?"
Different from other generals at this time, Su Rui, who came from a later generation, attached great importance to the casualties of his troops. In his opinion, piling up the corpses of soldiers to win was not worth showing off. Under his influence, the officers of the 300 Division
They also pay great attention to the casualties of the troops during the war. Many times they would rather spend more time and energy to control the casualty rate of the troops.
Lin Shiqian on the other end of the phone was silent for a while after listening to Wu Chengfeng's words, and then said: "Well, I'll discuss it with Brigadier Li of the 399th Brigade to see if we can also bring the artillery battalion of the 399th Brigade.
Move over to support us, but you have to promise me that you must capture a foothold before sunset, can you do it?"
Wu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
………………
Tong Yanfeng lay quietly behind a dry rock. He put on a coat that was mixed with gray, green and withered yellow, and smeared his helmet with the gray-brown soil. He lay there motionless.
, so that you can't even notice that there is a person lurking here unless you get close.
Holding the K98 Mauser sniper rifle in his hand, Tong Yanfeng felt a sense of security welling up in his heart. This rifle was given to him by the company commander just the day before yesterday as a reward for injuring Konosuke Imamura when he surrounded and annihilated the Imamura detachment.
In addition, the group also gave a generous reward of 3,000 yuan and one yuan from the master to more than ten brothers on that day. Tong Yanfeng, as a meritorious member, also received 500 yuan.
Tong Yanfeng still remembered the scene the day before yesterday when he was holding an ocean of 500 yuan slowly carrying a steel helmet. The weight of 500 yuan stacked together was quite a lot, enough to fill his helmet.
Tong Yanfeng still clearly remembered that at that time, he was holding a helmet full of steel and his mind went blank. At that time, he only knew one thing in his mind, that is, he was rich. He once thought about taking off this military uniform and relying on this
These days returned to their hometown in Anhui, bought twenty acres of land and two cows, and then asked the matchmaker Wang next door to arrange a marriage for them, so that they could live a happy life with their wives and children.
But this idea only lingered in his mind. His hometown has now fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Not to mention whether he can go back, even if he goes back, he can only do the Japanese obedience.
This result is completely unacceptable to Tong Yanfeng. Although Tong Yanfeng has only been a soldier for one year, he has killed three or four Japs. Even the Japs' major general died in his hands. Now let him go back and become a Japanese.
As a docile citizen, that is something he would never do even if he died.
I can't go back to my hometown, so I can only follow the master to fight the Japanese. Fortunately, the master is a good person. Serving as a soldier under the master has many benefits. Not only are the weapons excellent, but he also has no worries about food and drink.
Even the military pay is 50% higher than that of other ** troops, and the pay is real, and the superiors have never withheld any deductions. Even military uniforms and military shoes are issued three or four sets a year, and many soldiers secretly keep them.
One or two sets for my family to wear when I get home.
Well, I was thinking a little too far. Tong Yanfeng shook his head and continued to put his eyes behind the lens of the scope. This thing is awesome. Through this small lens, you can see what was originally a small target three or four hundred meters in front of you.
The small black dots are magnified several times.
Through the scope, Tong Yanfeng aimed his rifle at a Japanese bunker, where a Type 92 heavy machine gun and two Type 11 light machine guns were firing desperately at the front position. Many brothers had already fallen to them.
The guns were fired, but because the location of the bunker was very concealed, right in the blind spot of the attack position and out of reach of artillery fire, the company commander sent himself out and ordered him to take out the bunker no matter what.
Through the scope, Tong Yanfeng saw a Japanese machine gunner holding a heavy machine gun and firing desperately forward. Moreover, this machine gunner must be a veteran. He was huddled in the bunker, only his head wearing a steel helmet was exposed.
, the average person wouldn't be able to spot him without looking carefully, let alone hitting him.
Slowly holding my breath, I grabbed a handful of loose soil and threw it into the air. The wind was blowing from the southeast and was not strong.
He moved the muzzle of the gun slightly to the upper left corner, and the crosshair in the scope moved to the upper left side of the machine gunner's head, and then calmly pulled the trigger.
"boom……"
A dull sound entered his eardrums, and at the same time the rifle butt hit his right shoulder forcefully. Tong Yanfeng couldn't help but move his numb shoulder. Damn it, the recoil of this Mauser rifle was stronger than his original one.
There are more Garand rifles in use.
However, Tong Yanfeng did not have time to pay attention to this at this time. He quickly observed the movement ahead through the scope.
Tong Yanfeng saw it. The bullet he fired hit the machine gunner's head. The bullet had a strong impact and knocked off the machine gunner's helmet. Half of his head was also knocked off. The Type 92
The heavy machine gun also stopped.
Seeing that the machine gunner was shot, the deputy gunner who was supplying ammunition quickly pushed him away, grabbed the handle of the gun and started shooting again.
Tong Yanfeng smiled coldly, put his cheek close to the butt of the gun and aimed at the deputy shooter. This guy was much worse than his predecessor. When shooting, most of his upper body was exposed, and he kept roaring. I really thought
Could his roar be scary or what?
He calmly pulled the trigger, and the yelling assistant shooter quickly followed in the footsteps of his predecessor and fell into the bunker. Immediately afterwards, Tong Yanfeng shot down the remaining machine gunners in the bunker one by one.
Three minutes later, not a single bullet was fired from the bunker.
After unplugging the bunker, Tong Yanfeng took his beloved sniper rifle and slowly crawled towards another fire point. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a messenger from hell, constantly harvesting the lives of the Japanese soldiers.
One day, Tong Yanfeng killed thirty-five Japanese soldiers with the sniper rifle in his hand... (To be continued)
