Chapter 1359 The hedgehog that has opened its thorns
Liu Lang's plan is actually at least 70% the same as the decision made by Xie Jinyuan in the past time and space. He and Xie Jinyuan made the same judgment. Because of the geographical characteristics of Sihang Warehouse, if the Japanese army wanted to attack,
We cannot drop guns and bullets on the concessions of European and American countries on the south bank of the Suzhou River, which are no more than a hundred meters apart. We can only make breakthroughs from the east and west sides, that is, from the left and right wings of the Sihang Warehouse.
In the past, Xie Jinyuan's experience of fighting here for four days and nights proved that this is exactly what the Japanese army did.
Therefore, Liu Lang concentrated his main defensive forces on the left and right wings. The first company defended the left wing, the second company defended the right wing, and the third company completed the first line of defense outside the building with sandbags on the front of the Sihang Warehouse and assisted the firepower point upstairs.
Fire support. Most of the windows facing Suzhou Hebei Road were covered with sandbags, leaving only the shooting holes. There were originally no windows on the east and west walls. According to Liu Lang's requirements, the top and bottom of each floor and each side needed to be cut.
Two rows of shooting holes.
In order to ensure that there is no blind spot for shooting, it is particularly important to remove the shooting holes on the wall and the fortifications on the roof.
In the past, Xie Jinyuan only had two anti-aircraft machine guns mounted on the roof of the building for air defense. When encountering a blind spot, soldiers would climb to the roof and throw grenades downwards, but things are different now.
According to Liu Tuanzuo's plan, three air defense positions were set up on the roof of the warehouse, each consisting of a twin machine gun belt and two anti-aircraft machine guns. Sandbags were used to form a circular fortification, and the three air defense positions were
The position is triangular in shape and can form a cross fire network 500 to 1,000 meters above the Sihang Warehouse.
At the same time, the three air defense positions also have the function of ground shooting. The machine guns can be flattened to conduct horizontal fire from 00 meters to 800 meters on the left and right wings of the Sihang Warehouse. Mortars are also set up in the middle surrounded by the air defense positions.
Positions, Liu Lang set up seven mortar positions on the roof of the building, which can completely cover all areas with a radius of 000 meters with the building as the center.
There is an infantry squad on the left and right sides of the roof. They need to use a large number of sandbags to form trenches and even build anti-gun holes. Their main role is to prevent the Japanese army from bombarding them with a small number of mortars.
It means throwing grenades vertically downward from the roof. Once the Japanese infantry gets close to the area 0 meters away from the building and enters the blind spot of the wall for the defenders to shoot, then it is up to them. No need to shoot, just use the shortest possible time to lower the grenade.
Just throw the grenade.
The grenade explosion did not pose a threat to the walls of the Sixing Warehouse, but the flesh and blood of the Japanese army could not withstand it.
Of course, in order to prevent the Japanese army from covering the roof of the building with fire and causing damage, each position was built with sandbags to form traffic trenches. These defenses could be used to quickly evacuate to the interior of the building.
The remaining 7 mortars, three Suratung machine guns and the remaining 12 heavy machine guns are all allocated to the left, center and right. In addition to the original 7 Czech light machine guns, on average, each defensive surface has
It can have a 0mm machine gun with a rate of fire of 100 rounds per minute, 4 heavy machine guns and 9 light machine guns for continuous fire support. The soldiers will also partially change their equipment, except that most of them still use medium-range guns with a longer range.
In addition to the formal rifles, two infantry platoons will be equipped with submachine guns. Although the range is much shorter, within a range of 100 meters, the firepower instantly spit out by an infantry platoon of 40 MP8 submachine guns can even kill 4
Heavy machine guns were overwhelmed.
The medium and long-range firepower is all properly deployed. The entire Sihang Warehouse sinking into darkness in the dark night is like a hibernating hedgehog. Only when the Japanese army touches it will they know that the "hedgehog" with all the spikes on its body is angry and pricking people.
How much pain will it cause?
Although Xie Jinyuan could make a final decision, he obviously would not be so arbitrary and still gave his officers a chance to speak.
"Sir, there are no other problems. It's just that building three machine gun bunkers here is useless. Could it be used to attack our own people?" Lei Xiong pointed to a firepower setting in the hall on the drawing and was puzzled.
It is estimated that he was asking something that several other officers wanted to ask but had not yet had time to ask. At least three lieutenants were nodding. Most of the firepower configurations on the drawings are for external use, which is no problem, but the only one who came very unexpectedly was the one in the lobby on the first floor.
Such a triangular light machine gun firepower point is directed inward, forming a crossfire network that almost covers the entire hall on the first floor without any blind spots.
A smile appeared on Xie Jinyuan's fair and square face, and he said: "Lieutenant Chen, please explain to this guy, what is the purpose of Commander Liu setting up such a firepower network inside the building?"
"Hehe, our team leader said, this is called luring the enemy in deep, hitting them so painfully that they shrink back, but you can't kill many of them, you have to trick them in, and then catch turtles in a jar, and kill as many as you come.
Only then can you beat the kid to the point of crying for father and mother in pain." Chen Yunfa explained with a chuckle. "Furthermore, according to the wishes of our regimental commander, it is best not to kill them all at once, but to leave some alive to report to the kid command headquarters.
Report the news and send some more people there to kill more people."
...
Looking at the empty hall with no obstruction except for a few large pillars, beads of sweat broke out on the foreheads of several officers.
Trap, this turned out to be a trap, and it was a large trap specially designed to deceive people. They changed the location and replaced them with the attacking commanders. After a hard battle, they finally broke through the frontal defense and entered the enemy's fortress.
, naturally must be ecstatic, and will invest at least half an infantry company in an attempt to expand the victory, but who knew that this was just a trap that had been laid out long ago, and the defenders had already established crossfire internally.
net.
Faced with the cross fire of three light and heavy machine guns, almost no one could escape. The most terrifying thing was that the legendary heroic leader would use this as bait to attract more Japanese invaders. They dared to believe that,
Although they know this is a trap, as long as some of their soldiers are still alive, the Japanese army will definitely rush forward like moths to the flames. Because if it were them, they would do the same, even if they knew it would be death.
No one dares to give up lightly on the battlefield, and everyone does not want to be an abandoned son abandoned by the commander. That person’s research on human nature is also extremely terrifying! No wonder he can defeat the Japanese every time he fights against them.
Massive killing.
"Captain Liu, I'm convinced." Lei Xiong grinned in a cold sweat and could only give a thumbs up.
This kind of professional-level dirty trick is really too cruel, but he likes it.
Originally, according to Xie Jinyuan's idea, in addition to the main fortress of Sihang Warehouse, there were two other tall buildings on Suzhou Hebei Road located hundreds of meters apart on the west and north sides. If the troops were allocated to attack these two buildings,
The building should also be defended. In this way, it can form a horn with the Four Lines Warehouse, and it will not be so easy for the little devil to break through.
However, Xie Jinyuan has the strength of an infantry battalion in his hands. If he really wants to divide his troops to guard the two buildings, he can only arrange two infantry platoons for each building. It is obviously impossible to withstand the fierce attack of the Japs with this small amount of troops.
Therefore, dividing the troops to defend was equivalent to letting the brothers die. Although the final outcome was death, death could not be in vain. Xie Jinyuan thought about it again and again, but gave up the seemingly tempting plan of dividing the troops to defend.
Chen Yunfa didn't make any suggestions this time, but in his heart he admired his regimental commander's ingenuity. Liu Tuanzuo had already told him when he called him to support Xie Jinyuan's department that Xie Jinyuan would definitely choose to stick to the four elements.
The warehouse will not blindly divide the troops to pursue what seems to be a beautiful horn trend.
Yes, Xie Jinyuan's choice was correct. Except for the Sihang Warehouse, which was used as a vault by the four major banks, it was so hard that infantry artillery could not attack it. The other buildings with masonry structures could not withstand the bombardment of infantry artillery.
As long as the Japanese army was patient enough, even if they did not use heavy artillery and only used infantry artillery to bombard the other two buildings, the defenders in the building would not be able to hold out for more than two days.
In the end, Sihang Warehouse had to face the siege of heavy Japanese troops alone, but it also had to bear the death of four infantry platoons. It was really not worth the gain.
After the meeting, more than 400 people took action under the leadership of their respective commanders.
The defenders on the left and right wings began to dig holes in the walls to build shooting holes. According to Xie Jinyuan's request, many shooting holes were dug out and then built back with bricks. That was camouflage. Think about it, when the Japanese infantry were hiding
When the ballistics fired from the shooting holes visible in the field of vision were approaching the building little by little, the bricks and stones were suddenly pushed away. The dozens of extra shooting holes that suddenly appeared in an instant and the firepower spewing out wildly must have made them desperate!
The defenders responsible for defending the front of the building not only piled up fortifications with sandbags outside the gate on the first floor and reserved a transportation trench for retreat into the building, but also did what they should to the bank building facing the Sihang Warehouse.
Layout. There are also fortifications in that building, but the gun holes are facing the south bank of the Suzhou River in the direction of defending the European and American concessions, and they are also facing the Sihang Warehouse at this time. Naturally, such fortifications cannot be left to the Japanese.
Therefore, Tang Di, the commander of the third company responsible for the front defense, led an infantry platoon into the building. However, instead of destroying the fortifications that the Chinese army had worked so hard to build, they planted a large amount of explosives. As long as the Japanese army entered this building,
Building, there is no doubt that they have entered the tomb set up for them by the national army. All they need to do is press the detonator, and this building, which is only thirty or forty meters away from the Sihang Warehouse, will be blown into a sea of fire in an instant.
The more than 500 kilograms of explosives buried is no joke. If he were not afraid that the shock wave would be too large to damage the nearby Sihang Warehouse, the seemingly elegant and scholarly Captain Tang would even prepare to bury a thousand kilograms of explosives.
At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to light lights in the Sihang Warehouse Building, and no light is allowed except for candlelight in necessary places. Except for the weak firelight, the soldiers are like hard-working little ants carrying sandbags and weapons to build one secret firepower point fortification after another.
, viewed from a distance, the Sihang Warehouse was completely dark, and nothing unusual could be seen.
No one knows that in this darkness, the last Chinese position in Zhabei, Shanghai, is making all preparations, just waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.
Chen Yunfa took his team and left the Sihang Warehouse under the cover of night.
Many ferocious beasts use the cover of darkness to hunt. In addition to defense, the defense of Sihang Warehouse also involves offense. Chen Yunfa's special operations team was the defender of Sihang Warehouse who quietly drew his bow at the Japanese army in the dark.
Once ejected, it will be extremely painful.
Immediately, the Japanese felt it.
