Plains are different from mountains, street fighting.
In broad daylight, how would Zhang Sixing deal with the Japanese attack on the position?
In fact, there is nothing to deal with. The essence of trench warfare is "sweat more before the battle and bleed less during the battle." To put it bluntly, it means digging the earth to build a stronghold, so that all the invaders can't eat and walk around.
The targeted bombing and artillery bombardment stopped, and then the barrage of heavy artillery advanced slowly, blowing up rows of smoke and dust.
Apparently the Japanese army learned from the experience and lessons learned when the Sixth Division attacked the Niushoushan position. At the beginning of the attack, they used heavy artillery to destroy various traps on the ground. The strong vibration also caused the pre-arranged bullet mines to be fired early due to malfunction.
But as the barrage extended in the direction, before the Japanese soldiers could move forward, a series of "turfs" were set off in front of the parachute school front line, and individuals emerged from the single-person anti-artillery holes one after another.
This place is as far as three hundred meters away from the main position behind.
These are people from the punishment battalion. As for fighting in these dangerous positions in front of the battle line, it is an opportunity for the soldiers of the punishment battalion to compete for. Because as long as they defend this position once, they will have a chance to go home.
Shang Xi is such a person. He used to practice kung fu for a few days at home and worked as a thug in a brothel in order to make a living.
In the era when the Chairman was managing the country, this was originally an understandable choice.
It's a pity that when Principal Zhang arrived in Jurong, the people on the road dared to provoke Principal Zhang. That's simply not good-looking.
As a result, Shang Xi's own boss, the boss of the brothel, and other bosses were hung up on the city wall and shot up with machine guns on charges of organizing a gangland and forcing women to sell silver.
In his whole life, Shang Xi has never seen such a cruel person like Principal Zhang. According to the saying, he will not blame the public. When dealing with such matters, local officials are afraid of provoking a civil uprising or something.
Of course, now Shang Xi understands that those local officials also have dirty butts themselves.
Civil uprising?
Those whose homes were raided by machine guns were all ransacked. With no money and no one, they "changed". Those who helped the thieves would be hung up on the city wall, and their homes would still be ransacked.
Principal Zhang is cruel enough, but he will not be unreasonable. At least he knows that none of the people hanging on the wall are clean.
Men and women like Shang Xi, who according to Principal Zhang were not serious sinners and could be reformed, were mixed into some kind of punishment camp.
According to the old saying that a good man should not be a soldier and a good man should not hammer nails, this is a very bad thing.
However, in the punishment camp, apart from being supervised at work, Shang Xi saw another kind of life in other aspects.
They didn't beat or scold them, and they still had enough to eat. Although the soldiers said they were criminals and even the people in the logistics camp despised them, everyone ate the same. I heard that even Principal Zhang ate the same as them.
When it comes to fighting, the monk really thinks differently.
On the battlefield, he had seen the Guo army fighting, and the one they fought was miserable, but the battle at the paratrooper school was so easy.
Just like he is now, he is in the most dangerous position on the entire front.
Two hundred meters away from the main position at the front, this row of pits is 20 meters apart, and is placed in front of the main position in a long way.
Shang Xi's job is called thunder mending.
First, they were hit by Japanese heavy artillery. At this time, everyone was huddled under the pit. The pit was one meter long and one meter five deep, with an outer wall made of plywood. Unless you were particularly unlucky, the heavy artillery shells would hit. Even if the shells landed a few meters away,
It can't hurt him.
There are several holes in the plywood wall, connected to the small horizontal holes that were taken out, and a helmet mine is stuffed in one.
Well, do you like the steel helmet Lei Shang? It smells very bad.
In another hole, there are clay porcelain grenades all over the hole.
There is also a hole filled with hundreds of bullet mines. It is also a pointed clay porcelain tube that is only slightly thicker than a thumb. I heard that there are some bullet mines in it. There is also a hole filled with "crab claws".
, this thing is the simplest. Even if Shang Xi takes a bamboo knife to make it, he can make one or two thousand of it in a short time.
Shang Xi's feet stood on the small holes made in the plywood for stepping on, and were arranged on both sides of the cave wall, left and right, as if they were coming up from a well. The advantage of standing like this is that when the shell explodes nearby, the vibration will be less
It can't hurt anyone.
Do you like to go down to the foot of the foot? There is water there. But when it is dangerous, you have to go down and hide in the horizontal passage. The water can reach the waist there, but even if the clothes get wet, there is no way to change, let alone
Fa escape from here to the back.
The only thing he could do was to hold on with four meat buns and a bamboo bucket of water until nightfall before returning to the rear position.
Following the sound of heavy artillery, he moved towards the main position behind him. Shang Xi straightened up and opened the turf-covered branches covering the entrance of the cave.
When he got out, gunpowder smoke was still thick around his pit. He could even clearly feel the ground vibration caused by the nearby explosion, as well as the harsh sound of the passing shrapnel.
However, they could no longer care about those shrapnel flying by, and Shang Xi had already known that those shrapnel were flying upward. What they needed to be careful about now was the Japanese riflemen on the opposite side.
"Whoosh", the bullets flew past his scalp, and Shang Xi, who was on the battlefield for the first time, was so frightened that he retracted his head into the pit. With his back against the plywood cave wall, Shang Xi breathed in the stinky air in the cave.
For the first time, he felt that the air in the underground pit was so warm, and the stench of the helmet mine seemed not that serious.
"Your mission is to carry out the task of replenishing mines in the most dangerous places. You have to move quickly, otherwise the Japanese will come to your pit and you will not survive."
"Perform a mine-repairing mission in a dangerous place and you can go home."
This is something Zhang Sixing promised, and Shang Xi was also one of the first batch of applicants and selected. His home is in Jurong. If he misses this opportunity to go home, he doesn't know how long it will take.
Taking a deep breath, Shang Xi picked up a big bag and quickly climbed from the pit to the ground.
"Lower your head and keep your body as close to the ground as possible. Your mission is to replenish mines, not to give heads to the Japanese..."
As a commoner and not a very good one, Shang Xi didn't understand those big principles. He even wanted to feel that under Japanese rule, he couldn't pay less taxes.
"Whoosh..."
The bullet grazed Shang Xi's face, and he could even feel the brutal coldness of the bullet on his face. Fortunately, the smoke after the fireworks bombardment was still there at this time, and it could still provide some poor cover.
The people who came out of the pit twisted their bodies and rearranged the "crab claw" traps on all the ground they passed.
When the small gadget, which is only the length of a palm, is unfolded, it is already powerful. This gadget is like a mouse trap, but here it is used to deal with people.
It's a shame that Principal Zhang can think of treating people like mouse traps.
