Rise from eight hundred.

It's just that, unlike the strong attack that the Japanese army could not wait to escape, the Four Elements Regiment began digging trenches in front of the Japanese defense line at four o'clock in the morning.

First horizontal, then vertical and then horizontal!

If you look at it from a high altitude, it looks like a crisscross flag!
Of course, looking back at the Japanese army on the opposite side, they also built two lines of defense, which they spent all night digging out under the threat of Chinese cannons.

The human body's potential to explode when life is seriously threatened is terrifying!

Take the infantry brigade of Zhaozhuang as an example. Yesterday, 160 people were killed under the crazy shelling of the artillery battalion of the Four Elements Regiment. As a result, there were less than 600 people left. The 1.5-meter-long trench basically guarantees a hiding place in the next wave of crazy shelling.

As long as the shells don't just fall into the trenches, the chances of survival of the Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches are greatly increased.Of course, it was not uncommon for the shells to fall just two or three meters along the trench, and the entire trench was squeezed inward by the huge explosion energy, causing the soldiers in it to be squeezed to death by the mud.

Then, it depends on fate.

To put it bluntly, in this dark night in the mountains, the Chinese and Japanese who wanted to kill each other were no longer wielding knives and guns, but picks and shovels, and the sound of clanging on the positions of the two sides never stopped.

If you have to find a difference, it is that the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment who came from the rapid march spent up to 8 hours eating and sleeping, but the Japanese did not stop for a moment. They slept for a total of 3 hours at night. Even the Iron Man is iron who is about to be overwhelmed by fatigue. You can tell by the dull eyes like zombies.

Yes, under the order of Tang Dao, the Four Elements Group will not charge up against the Japanese bullets with their guns in their hands. Even if they win the final victory and kill the three or four thousand Japanese invaders in front of them, it is estimated that the Four Elements Group will also be full of vitality Injury, Tang Dao would not do such a stupid thing of injuring the enemy one thousand and self-injury eight hundred.

The so-called early morning offensive means that after the horizontal trenches have been established, the three major infantry battalions begin to dig forward fortifications. If possible, the distance between the two positions can even be shortened to 40 meters, which is almost the distance that infantry can throw grenades.

The Chief of Staff of the Second Mixed Brigade, the commander of the rear wing of the Japanese Army at that time, Yota Yoshitō, the chief of staff of the Second Mixed Brigade, looked through the binoculars at the soil that was constantly flying up from the ground more than 300 meters away, with a dignified expression, but helpless.

He wanted to stop the Chinese side from continuously digging into their own side, but the bullets would not turn. Apart from grenades that might attack the opponent, there were almost no weapons that could threaten them.

It's not that he didn't try to let his grenadiers throw grenades at the trench area that the Chinese are digging, but the trenches are narrow, and it takes luck to accurately throw grenades into a trench less than 1.5 meters wide across hundreds of meters. On the one hand, China may have expected this move a long time ago, and they have also prepared countermeasures.

However, what the Chinese counterattacked was not the Japanese grenades that could only throw grenade grenades, but 82 force!
There are at least 10 82s on standby. Once the Japanese army fires grenades, the artillery observers observe the general area of ​​the grenadiers, and immediately ten or twenty shells roar.

The concept of "richness is covered by firepower" is brought into full play!
After more than 5 groups of grenadier teams and more than a dozen infantry were torn to pieces by the overwhelming mortar shells, some grenadier soldiers even began to refuse to accept orders, even if they were beaten by the infantry squadron leader. big mouth.

At this time, if Yota Yoonto showed enough strength to immediately kill the violating sergeant, he might be able to exchange death for death, and at the worst, it would slow down the Chinese army's crazy advance.

It is a pity that the Chief of Staff of the Second Mixed Brigade, who has always been accustomed to living in the shadow of the mountains, hesitated. He thought it was because the soldiers did not get enough rest and caused mental disorders. He was afraid that his toughness would completely destroy the morale that was already on the verge of collapse. , At that time, even the gods will not be able to save him.

The end result is that the 200 officers and soldiers of the third battalion in charge of the stubborn advancement in front of Zhaozhuang have dug nearly 1 meters forward in one and a half hours, forming more than 60 traffic trenches. If this situation does not change, it will only take until the afternoon. At 20 o'clock, the third battalion can dig in front of the Japanese positions, and then it will really be the end of the Japanese.

In the face of the aggressive fortifications of the four battalions of the Four Elements Regiment, the Japanese infantry could not sleep at ease at this time. They could only continue to deepen the trenches, and the two sides fought against the earthworks, which was quite a different kind of battle.

Of course, during this period, the artillerymen on both sides were not idle. If you fired a burst of cannons at my rear, I immediately hit them with a cannonball.

This time, because there is enough trench protection, the infantry on both sides did not lose much. However, seeing the artillery on both sides fighting lively, they did not target each other. Instead, they all attacked the infantry. The infantry on both sides almost scolded their artillery mother.

Co-author, the two of you fight, and the final damage will be borne by the fathers?
Although the artillery battalion commander of the Four Elements Regiment is Tang Dao concurrently, everyone knows that Tang Tuanzuo is now in charge of commanding the overall situation, and the deputy battalion commander Pang Pang Hai is basically in charge of the artillery battalion. For this reason, Major Pang Pang Hai has been dismissed The commanders of the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion called and cursed.

Pang Dahai is wronged too!It's not that he doesn't want to fight the Japanese artillery, but the distance between the two sides is at least 6000 meters, and the pitiful 150-meter range of 3000 is enough for them?What's more, people are hiding behind the hills, located in the blind spot of the mountain cannon shooting, what else can the mountain cannon do except watch the excitement?

How about destroying the fortifications built by the Japanese army with sweat and rain, and blowing up some Japanese devils by the way, so as to pave the way for the infantry brothers to attack next, right?
I'm afraid the Japanese artillery also thought the same way. If they can't beat the opponent's artillery, then they will vent their anger on the infantry. No matter how they scold them, that's the only thing they can do.

After receiving the telegram from Yota Yin Teng, Shan Xiaxia, who was located in the headquarters of Changle Village, breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time, he felt relaxed on his gloomy face.

"Yo Xi! The Artillery Brigade has done a good job. Tell them, if they continue to fight the Chinese artillery, they won't be arrogant for long."

Although the Japanese army is still unable to accurately determine the specific position of the Chinese artillery, the general area can basically be locked. This information has been sent to Yuancheng Airport through the field radio station.

If the Chinese artillery continued to bombard like this, the smoke would be the most obvious target. The formation of 24 fighter jets that had already flown to the battlefield of Changle Village would definitely turn this serious trouble into ashes.

Losing this artillery group with large-caliber artillery, Yamashita has the confidence to persist for another three days under the siege of the Chinese.

Yesterday afternoon, the 108th Division, which was frightened back, has regrouped in Liao County and Licheng respectively, and will send reinforcements in the direction of Changle Village this morning. According to intelligence, the Chinese can only deploy one infantry division at most to stop them.

Although the intelligence department of the front army has made a big mistake, which caused the headquarters to misjudge the strength of the Chinese troops, Yamashita can only choose to believe this time, otherwise what can he do?
In short, all the hopes of Yamashita are pinned on Army Aviation and the 108th Division.

Perhaps, even Yamashita, who arrogantly looked down on the two 'reserve' divisions when he dispatched troops before, didn't realize that after more than ten days of fighting, his sharpness had been smoothed by the Chinese.
Not only did he lose the confidence to break through the enemy's defenses, but he even placed his own safety on the friendly troops.

Obviously, this is a wildly wrong idea.

Women cannot rely on men, and men still want to rely on men. Do you think this is reliable?

Below the mountain, he must not be able to see clouds of smoke rising from the mountains in the distance that he could not see. There are not only white gunpowder smoke rising from the firing of artillery, but also smoke gushing out from a large amount of wet firewood being ignited.

There are so many of these firewood piles that they are almost all over the mountains, and Tang Tuanzuo ordered that no open flames be seen, which is a typical smoke-making machine. As a result, the Chinese soldiers in it are not allowed to wrap wet towels around their mouths and nostrils. Otherwise, they will all be fumigated.

The people in it are like this. From the outside, it is smoky like a fairyland. If you don't look closely, no one can find the human beings and utensils hidden in it.

Therefore, when Sasaki led 23 Japanese planes to the sky above the area aggressively, they were collectively stunned.

Did the Chinese set fire to the whole mountain in order to guard against them?
It is very difficult to maintain the accuracy of bombing at an altitude of 1500 meters, but it is absolutely impossible to see the target under the smoke.

But for Captain Sasaki, this time he was ordered to bomb, not to say that it was as simple as dropping the bomb at high altitude, he had to destroy the Chinese artillery positions.

Otherwise, the Chinese infantry positions crisscrossing the ground must be his preferred target.

The formation consisting of 24 huge fleets carried more than 15 tons of explosives, enough to reduce more than a thousand Chinese soldiers to ashes.

It's a pity that the biggest threat to the Second Mixed Brigade now is not the huge Chinese infantry, but the artillery groups that were exposed yesterday evening, including 150-caliber heavy artillery. How dangerous is the infantry.

But the Chinese also made their own defenses. The whole mountain was shrouded in a faint smog. Looking down from an altitude of 1500 meters, not to mention artillery and people, even looking at trees is difficult.

If you want to see the artillery position clearly, you must have a fighter plane fly to a lower altitude for reconnaissance.

"My lords, the Chinese are very cunning. They use smoke to block the sight of our Imperial Army Aviation. I need two warriors to conduct fire reconnaissance on the ground!" Captain Sasaki was never the kind of brutal officer. Qian, she always treats her subordinates with a pleasant face, even when giving orders.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Japanese pilots tolerated this officer known as "Ke You".

The Japanese fleet hovered at high altitude, but there was silence on the radio.

All Japanese pilots know that the Chinese army below is likely to be the legendary Four Elements Regiment. They let the Imperial Army Aviation experience the power of their anti-aircraft guns in Zhengcheng and Licheng. If they fly too low, they will inevitably encounter attack.

The key is that the fighter formation will never easily waste bombs on such not too strong anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns or small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. If they die, they may die in vain.

But the Imperial Japanese Army has never lacked brave men. After tens of seconds of silence, someone finally answered.

"I, Yoshioka Chiba, take orders!"

"I, Sato Hikihara, take orders!"

"Very well, the Imperial Army Aviation will be proud of you. After the war, no matter what the outcome is, I will report the bravery of my two colleagues to the headquarters!" Sasaki's gratified voice sounded on the radio. "The base altitude for reconnaissance is 1000 meters. The two of you can adjust it according to the actual situation. Be careful of the anti-aircraft machine guns of the Chinese. I approve that the two of you can drop bombs and attack at any time to reduce the load. If the fighter plane is damaged, you can leave the battlefield immediately without returning to the formation."

This is Sasaki as the commander who can give the two brave subordinates the greatest authority. The subtext is that if the fighter is attacked, he will immediately throw a bomb and escape. If the fighter plane is damaged, the first choice is to save himself.

In fact, Sasaki has had enough of "sacrificing comrades-in-arms" to preserve his reputation, and he doesn't want to go back with a heavy loss this time.

Especially when he thought of the old opponent of the Four Elements Regiment, Sasaki's heart trembled inexplicably. Most of his reputation, which is well-known throughout the front army, was thanks to them.

Two ninety-six fighter jets roared out of formation and descended.

In a cannon fortification tightly covered by pine wood and camouflage nets on the mountain peak on the ground.

Cheng Tieshou, the deputy instructor of the artillery battalion and the commander of the air defense company, was staring at the sky with a telescope with his head up.

"Sir, the Japanese plane sent a reconnaissance plane down, do you want to fight?" The second lieutenant asked with a serious expression.

"Fight, why not fight, order the anti-aircraft machine gun teams in odd numbers, as long as the Japanese planes are within their range, attack me immediately, but in order to prevent the Japanese planes from bombing in retaliation, except for the machine gunners and ammunitionists, the rest will go into the bunker to take shelter." Cheng Tieshou raised his eyebrows. "The rest of the gun positions are not allowed to fire without an order. The real big fish hasn't entered the net yet!"

Although the two Japanese pilots answered bravely, they were actually very cautious. They kept their altitude at around 1000 meters and flew over the mountains whistling.

However, the large amount of smog rising from the mountains still blocked their sight, and the view from 1000 meters and 1500 meters was not much different.

Finally, the two Japanese pilots bit the bullet and lowered the flying altitude by another 200 meters. The altitude of 800 meters was already within the range of anti-aircraft machine guns firing upwards, but their vision was much clearer.

Under the cover of the green mountains and the obstruction of the smoke, they still saw the camouflaged piles in the valley.

However, before they took the binoculars to see more clearly, sparks suddenly burst out on the high ground on the side of the mountain.

That was at least 4 anti-aircraft machine guns shooting at two Japanese planes that had been raised to extremely high speeds. Every bright bullet flower represented dozens of bullets rushing towards the Japanese planes.

The two Japanese pilots who were already highly nervous instinctively yanked the rudder, and then slammed the bomb gate, and two 200-pound aerial bombs roared down from the belly of the plane.

The 4th fighter, which became light in an instant, was pulled up at high speed under the frenzied strafing of 600 anti-aircraft machine guns. In just five or six seconds, it jumped forward 1100 meters, and the height also rose to [-] meters.

They were lucky, except for a few bullet holes left on the fuselage and their own cold sweats, the less powerful anti-aircraft machine guns did not do anything to them.

"I found suspected Chinese artillery positions, but the time is limited. Only a few places have been found, and I can't be sure yet." Although one of the Japanese pilots was still in shock, he still did not forget his mission. Report what you see.

Of course, this Japanese second lieutenant named Chiba Yoshioka was an honest boy. Because of the short time, he only had a glimpse, but it felt like the green clusters were too dense compared to the normal mountain forest.

He just said the results he saw, and all decisions must be made by the supreme commander.

In fact, Sasaki was also very entangled. The Chinese really spared no effort to protect their artillery. They hid a lot of anti-aircraft machine guns below. The two fighters finally risked their lives to scout the intelligence. Two to be sure!
"Yo Xi, thank you Chiba-kun and Kihara-kun for your hard work, the Chinese only arrived at the battlefield yesterday evening, even if there is a disguise, it must be rough, and it must not escape the eyes of the imperial eagle.

Warriors, now it is their turn to bear the wrath of the imperial eagle. I ordered that the area discovered by Chiba-kun be the center of the circle, and radiate outward for 1000 meters. The formation is divided into 6 groups, 3 groups are on the left, and 3 groups are on the right. Keep the altitude at 1100 meters, and attack with bombs!

However, please keep in mind that we are the noble imperial eagles, not those inferior infantry soldiers. As a last resort, we must not easily use machine guns to fight against the enemy. That is a crude tactic that inferior infantry soldiers will use!
I repeat again, don't underestimate the Chinese below, do you all remember? Sasaki took a deep breath, and the voice rang on the radio.

The current Captain Sasaki is more and more like a commander.

This may also be due to the different positions, and the head has also begun to change!Just like an old Chinese saying goes: the head determines the butt, and the butt can also affect the head!
"Hi!" The Japanese pilots answered their commander on the radio in unison.

No way, who gave their commander the experience of participating in more than a dozen air battles and returning unscathed?Teammates have changed wave after wave, but they are alive and well, and they can be promoted. This is capital.

Of course, Sasaki, who has become more and more like a commander, could not know that at a distance of only 2500 meters from him, a Chinese army colonel watched the Japanese plane turn sharply after the reconnaissance plane fled and planned to enter the battlefield. high arc.

The Japanese are fooled again!

It's not in vain that he blasted out 5000 shells like a prodigal son yesterday.

You know, the Director of the Military Supplies Department, Zhuang Shisan, begged him in tears yesterday not to fight anymore. He, Director Zhuang, is good at calculation, but he is not a god, and he can't conjure shells. If he wants, he can turn dozens of people from the Military Supply Department into cannonballs and throw them out.

But Tang Tuanzuo is still determined to fight.

You have to be willing to make a nest for fishing, let alone play handjobs?That's not to say that the art film is in place, plus the whole prelude with the pants off?

PS: I saw some book lovers leave a message yesterday, saying that if there is no new book, there will be at least 50 words in this book. This, I can only open up the layout a little bit, hum!It's only 38 years!The reason why I write a new book is that I have been writing about the Anti-Japanese War for a long time, and writing science fiction is not just a change of mind, the more the brain is used, the more flexible it becomes!
