Chapter 1204 Devils can also apply what they have learned
"Captain: How to deal with the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army attacking us!" asked the worried captain.
"So far, two of our bunkers have been destroyed and two have lost contact."
"If these heavy artillery bombardments are allowed to continue, the six bunkers on the front line will definitely be completely destroyed."
The captain replied confidently: "Your Excellency, the Army Commander, has already figured out the specific method for us."
"Do you still remember how every time we used artillery fire to attack the Eighth Route Army, they fought under our artillery fire?"
A lieutenant was the first to react: "Hide your firepower points so that our artillery fire cannot accurately destroy them."
"When the shelling stopped and the imperial infantry began to attack, these firepower points would appear again and attack the attacking troops at close range, killing and injuring us in large numbers."
"Yo Xi, they did avoid the Imperial Army's artillery fire on their positions, and then killed a large number of Imperial Army's attacking troops." The captain showed an expression of approval.
The worry on the lieutenant squadron leader's face disappeared in an instant, and he exclaimed with a look of enlightenment: "I understand!"
"Captain, you mean that we also hide our firepower."
"What a great idea!" The squadron leader became more and more excited as he spoke, and his eyes became more and more fiery.
Looking at the captain, he analyzed: "In addition to the six permanent firepower points that have been exposed in the first-line position, we also have five bunkers in the second-line position, and there are six hidden bunkers between the positions that have never been exposed. As long as they are not exposed actively,
Destroyed by the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery, these bunkers will definitely be able to severely damage the attacking troops of the garrison, and they will also be able to greatly slow down their attack speed until dawn."
The captain nodded in agreement: "As long as we make full use of the remaining eleven bunkers, the troops will definitely be able to hold on to the stronghold until dawn."
"Pass my order. There are eleven bunkers left in the stronghold. Without my order, no one can shoot in advance and expose themselves to the Eighth Route Army."
"Contact the remaining troops on the front line."
"After the Eighth Route Army's shelling, if the bunker is intact, the troops will continue to hold on."
"Put the enemy fifty meters in front of the bunker and then fire, and use the most intense firepower to hit them hard."
"The Eighth Route Army's offensive troops retreated, and they also withdrew from the bunker to avoid the enemy's heavy artillery strikes."
"After the shelling is over, return to the position. If the bunker can continue to be used, use the same method there to repel another Eighth Route Army attack."
"If it cannot be used, the troops will retreat while fighting and abandon their front-line positions."
The captain of the lieutenant squadron immediately replied: "The captain is wise and humble. Go and give the order now."
The garrison attacked the position, and Li Hao stared at the battlefield filled with artillery fire with a calm expression.
Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng looked excited. The scene of sixteen heavy artillery salvoes was really shocking.
The Japanese and puppet army positions must have been turned upside down, this was Hong Linfeng's judgment.
"Captain, the bombardment is almost over. If the bombing continues, the corpses of the Japanese will be blown into pieces." Hong Linfeng reminded with his eyes shining.
"There are only six bunkers on the position. We have fired almost 300 shells. On average, one bunker can be fired with fifty shells. No matter how strong they are, they will be blown into ruins."
Li Hao also showed an expression of approval.
Although the Japanese bunkers were all built with steel bars, cement, and stones.
But because this is a Chinese battlefield, the Chinese army is almost not equipped with heavy artillery.
Therefore, these machine gun bunkers were built for ordinary mountain and field artillery and could not withstand continuous attacks from heavy artillery.
Of course, some people may say that it is common knowledge that the garrison has a heavy artillery battalion, and the Japanese must also know it. Therefore, when building a bunker next to the garrison, it must be targeted at heavy artillery.
actually not.
The fortifications to protect against ordinary mountain and field artillery and the fortifications to protect against heavy artillery and aircraft bombing are completely different levels.
The thickness of the former kind of fortification is only half a meter.
The latter one requires at least one meter.
On the European battlefield, there are many such permanent firepower points. Various machine gun bunkers are as thin as one meter and as thick as more than 1.5 meters. Even large-caliber naval gun shells cannot hit them.
However, this kind of fortification has a disadvantage: it requires a lot of steel and cement.
The Japanese are short of resources and cannot afford such a large consumption.
Even if we really want to build such a strong permanent fortification, we must use good steel on the blade.
Compared with the other opponents of the Little Devils, the garrison was too weak and was not worth the high cost.
Therefore, among the permanent firepower points that the garrison needs to face, the strongest bunkers are only half a meter thick and are generally used as headquarters.
If one heavy artillery shell hits it, it may be able to hold it up, but if four or five heavy artillery shells hit it one after another, it will definitely be destroyed bit by bit.
Seeing Hong Linfeng staring at him, he decisively ordered: "Stop the shelling in one minute, and the infantry will start to attack. They will occupy the Japanese frontline positions with lightning speed, beat them hard, and force them to seek help from nearby strongholds."
After speaking, Li Hao raised the telescope again and looked at the battlefield.
A minute passed in a blink of an eye, and a company of attacking troops came into Li Hao's field of vision.
The skirmishers lined up in groups of two or three, bent at the waist, holding guns, and quickly approached the Japanese position, which was still filled with smoke.
Six heavy machine guns roared on the high ground more than 100 meters behind them, bullets flying over their heads like meteors and flying towards the six fire points that had just been exposed.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. With them providing fire cover, even if there are still fire points on the position that have not been destroyed, the attacking troops can continue to attack under their cover, or retreat unscathed, instead of being caught off guard by the Japanese.
"Commander, the attacking troops are charging forward!" Hong Linfeng shouted excitedly as he saw the attacking troops getting closer and closer to the artillery fire coverage area.
"There must not be many Japanese on the battlefield!" Hong Linfeng continued to shout.
"According to their combat habits, if there are still people on the position, the attacking troops will shoot after they rush to a hundred meters, giving us no chance to approach the position."
"Now we are almost fifty meters in front of the formation. There is still no movement on the position. All the little devils must have been blown up by our heavy artillery."
The attacking troops are getting closer and closer to the position. In order to avoid accidental damage, the heavy machine guns providing fire cover have stopped firing.
The light machine gunner accompanying the attacking team held the machine gun in his arms and used it as a submachine gun. He fired while charging forward, taking over from the heavy machine gun and continuing to provide fire cover for the attacking troops.
The rifleman is much more relaxed than before.
Their thoughts were exactly the same as Hong Linfeng's.
But he did not completely relax his vigilance. While continuing to charge forward, he freed up one hand and took out a grenade, preparing to rush forward another twenty meters and throw it towards the Japanese position, and then launch the final blow under the cover of the grenade rain.
Rushed to the Japanese army's position.
"Da da da……"
Three tongues of flame suddenly appeared on the smoke-filled Japanese army position, and then the dull and intensive sound of heavy machine gun fire reached everyone's ears.
The blow came too suddenly.
Before the attacking troops had time to react, dozens of bullets had already swept towards them in a fan shape.
"ah……"
Screams rang out at the same time, and the first seven or eight soldiers were shot and fell to the ground at the same time.
"Conceal, machine gun cover... grenades, mortar fire, kill the enemy's firepower points." The leading company commander shouted with a heartbroken look on his face.
