Not far away, a large group of Japanese soldiers rushed toward the Second Battalion's position in squad units.
In the rear, the soldiers of the third battalion, who had retreated in time to avoid the Japanese bombers, also rushed towards the second battalion position. Facing the impact of a Japanese brigade, the second battalion alone could not withstand it. Ding Wei also decisively led the regiment to defend directly.
The company came to the right side of the Second Battalion's position, and the Third Battalion was on the left. This time the Japs' offensive was quite crazy. They directly pressed up a large group of Japs, hoping to capture the new group's defensive position in one fell swoop.
.
Leading the soldiers to find the hidden mortar shells, the Japanese aviation force carried out the bombing, which not only caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers, but also affected the artillery shells hidden by Liu Gen and others. It was also Liu Gen who was cautious enough.
, did not stack all these shells together, otherwise once detonated by the Japanese, the damage caused would be huge.
After finding all the artillery shells, only half of them were left. What thirty mortar shells can do is that they may not cause too many casualties to the Japs, let alone stop the Japs’ crazy offensive!
"Cannonball!"
Liu Gen controlled the 60mm mortar in his hand to find a place where the Japs were densely stationed. The soldiers behind him quickly sent the shells to Liu Gen's hands. Bang, the shells flew out, landed next to the Japs who were charging forward, and exploded with a bang.
Come on. As soon as a shell was fired, three or four Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and screamed in pain. The 60mm caliber mortar was not very powerful, but the shrapnel could still cause effective damage to the Japanese soldiers.
In the rear, the soldiers of the artillery company also finished loading the artillery shells, and the artillery shells crashed towards the area where the Japs were. The artillery company was a certain distance from the front line, and luckily escaped the Japs' aerial bombing. The Japs' bombers had just
After flying away, the soldiers of the artillery company pushed out the two Type 92 infantry guns.
"Boom" "Boom"
The high-explosive bombs equipped with the Type 92 infantry gun are not weak in lethality. If they fall next to the Japanese, they will be blown away directly. Only the cabinets that are far enough away from the high-explosive bombs are spared. A large group of Japanese soldiers directly crush them.
Come down, even if the Japs dispersed consciously, the area is so big, where can they hide? The Japs did not retreat. Now they have no artillery support, so they can only rush up on their own.
If we retreat now, the Japanese sacrificed just now will have no value.
The Japs at the front had already rushed to a distance of less than 500 meters from the Second Battalion's position. If the Second Battalion chose to stick to the position built by the First Battalion in the mountains and forests, the Japs might have rushed to their faces. The Second Battalion Commander was not in a hurry to let the soldiers go.
They opened fire, but the Japs' charge was too fierce, and the soldiers could not effectively kill the Japs if they fired. There were a lot of mines laid in front of the second battalion's position, but the crazy bombing of the Japs' bombers buried the second battalion.
All the mines were detonated.
Just one crazy bombing by the Japanese bombers destroyed the hard-working arrangements of the soldiers of the second battalion. But there was no way. The soldiers of the second battalion still needed to fight. We couldn't give up fighting the Japanese without the mines. There was no such reason.
Shells kept flying out of the mortars. In a short period of time, Liu Gen shot out half of the shells, causing a lot of damage to the Japanese. But even so, the new group's artillery fire was still too weak.
The infantry guns, plus a few scattered mortars, caused limited damage to the advancing Japanese soldiers. Except for Liu Gen and the soldiers of the artillery company who were able to hit the Japanese with every shot, other artillery units would inevitably miss the target.
This situation is very common. The soldiers can't compare with Liu Gen. What's more, the Japs are so fast that the soldiers can't easily calculate the shooting angle. The Japs are also very skillful in their tactical movements. During the advance, the Japs are also
Continuously evading.
Liu Gen looked at a Japanese officer who pulled out his officer's sword and ordered the Japanese to attack wildly. The next moment, a shell flew towards the Japanese officer, landed next to him, and killed him directly. Without the wisdom of this officer,
, the speed of the Japs' advance slowed down a bit, but soon a Japs officer stood up again to give command.
"boom"
A shell fell next to the Japanese officer again, preventing him from effectively commanding the frontline troops. It successfully killed two Japanese officers, but there was no trace of joy on Liu Gen's face.
Even with the continuous bombardment of artillery fire, the Japs' charge did not stop. With their frenzied attack, they quickly entered a position less than 300 meters away from the position. At this time, the soldiers with better shooting skills in the new group began to launch their attacks.
As for the other soldiers, they had to wait until the Japs got closer before they chose to shoot. Otherwise, with their shooting skills, it would be difficult to effectively kill the Japs.
As the soldiers with better shooting skills opened fire, the Japs' forward speed slowed down a lot. The Japs at the front set up their guns and launched a counterattack against the soldiers. Several of the Japs' heavy machine guns suddenly started firing.
The bullets rushed towards the new regiment's position, easily killing several soldiers who had no time to hide.
Noticing the Japanese heavy machine gun, Liu Gen used his ranging skills, 652 meters. He adjusted the shooting angle of the mortar, and the shell flew towards the Japanese heavy machine gun without stopping. Liu Gen adjusted the angle again, and another shell flew.
out.
"Boom" "Boom"
Two shells fell, falling around the two heavy machine guns of the Japanese, directly blowing up the heavy machine guns of the Japanese. The artillery battery in the rear had stopped firing. In less than ten minutes of shooting, more than half of the ammunition had been consumed. In order to respond
Next, for the artillery that will be supported by the Japanese, the artillery company needs to retain a certain amount of shells.
The only one still carrying out shelling is the mortar in Liu Gen's hand. In less than ten minutes, all the mortars in the hands of others were empty of shells. Compared with the Japanese, the new group's
The accumulation was much different. The Japanese mortars fired continuously, but the new regiment could only hold on for less than ten minutes under full fire.
However, these ten minutes were still very valuable. The crazy charge of the Japs was stopped. There should be nearly a hundred Japs lying on the ground groaning in pain.
Two heavy machine guns were suddenly blown up, and the Japs' firepower weakened a lot. The soldiers of the New Regiment took advantage of this opportunity to quickly counterattack, clearing away the Japs who rushed within 100 meters. The soldiers of the New Regiment did not save bullets.
, there are not many cannonballs, but there are many bullets. Now every soldier has more than ten bullets in his hands.
Seeing the Japs 150 meters away taking out the grenade, Liu Gen decisively adjusted the angle of the bombardment again. A shell flew out quickly and landed among the Japs who had not yet placed the grenade. A loud explosion blew away several Japs.
Killed and destroyed three Japanese grenades.
"Genzi! Well done!" Ding Wei shouted loudly from the right position.
Liu Gen's precise bombardment greatly boosted the morale of the new group of soldiers. The soldiers pulled the triggers and tried their best to kill all the Japanese in front of them. However, many of the soldiers' shooting skills were too poor, and the results they achieved were not counted.
Large. In addition, the Japanese's continuous tactical evasive actions and finding corresponding bunkers to hide greatly reduced their casualties.
The shells kept falling, and under Liu Gen's control, they tried their best to destroy the Japs' firepower points. Liu Gen's hiding position was very good, so the Japs could not stop Liu Gen's shelling. As for the Japs' mortars, Liu Gen's previous shelling
The Japanese's camp blew up the Japanese's ammunition depot, leaving the Japanese in an embarrassing situation where they had mortars but no shells.
