Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 590 Hot Pot Battle!
The left-wing battlefield is like a meat grinder!

Li Shoushan threw himself into the infantry almost frantically. The more than 400 people at the front suffered nearly 200 casualties. After losing their spirit, another wave of three infantry came up.

No more, another rotation!
Wave after wave, rows of corpses were left behind, and the "shit yellow" mixed with blood, covered the entire battlefield, which was shocking.

And its mountain artillery and infantry artillery were not idle. Even if the infantry in front of the front-line trenches did not fire at the two sides fighting fiercely in the front-line trenches, their artillery fire was also aimed at the top of the mountain and other areas.

It means that even if the cannon hits the mosquitoes, a few will be killed.

Li Jiujin also adopted a rotation system here. As long as the Jing'an Army changed in one wave, the Sichuan Army and the Second Company in the trenches would also change in another wave.

It can not only maintain the physical strength of soldiers on the front line, but also make the casualties of various ministries less concentrated.

However, Li Shoushan's tactic of bombarding the top of the mountain without hesitating to waste ammunition was indeed vicious. All the wounded could only stay in the second-line trenches for simple treatment with the first-aid kits carried by the second company, and they could not be carried to the medical team station two kilometers behind.

This also caused several seriously injured people who could have survived to close their eyes before dark.

But this is not just the difficulty Tang Dao said.

For the entire 145th Division, the most difficult thing is not the left-wing battlefield, but the central position.

Yes, even though Li Shoushan personally supervised the battle on the left-wing battlefield, he invested more than a dozen artillery pieces, and even more than 1000 infantry took turns to attack.

However, the center of gravity of the first brigade of the Jing'an Army has always been in the central position.

Li Shoushan's trick is called "strike with two fists", in an attempt to make the Chinese defenders care about one thing and lose another.

It's just that the Chinese side accidentally joined Tang Dao and the Independence Camp, which not only blocked Li Shoushan's punch, but almost broke his bone.

But the central main position is a bit more miserable, because the central position not only has the first regiment of the Jing'an Army as the main offensive, but also a Japanese infantry brigade as the secondary offensive, which is still ten kilometers away. Come.

Originally it was just to supervise the battle, but after Kunisaki's startled consent, he also launched an attack in the afternoon.

The regular Japanese army went into the attack, which was much more impressive than the dogs they raised.

First of all, under the protection of an infantry brigade, the reinforced artillery brigade carried by the Guoqi Detachment moved two kilometers forward from the station to the battlefield, bringing the main position of Jiepai Village into its range.

Sixteen 75 field artillery shelled the main position in the center of Jiepai Village, covering the entire position in a cloud of gunpowder smoke.

Because the 145th Division deployed its defenses in a hurry, and the entire construction time did not exceed 24 hours, it was the limit to dig two trenches one person deep in each position, let alone anti-gun holes.

The 75 field artillery is a cannon, and its penetrating power is much stronger than howitzers such as mountain artillery, and its destructive power against simple fortifications such as trenches is also greatly enhanced.

Caught off guard, the two infantry companies located in the first-line trenches were the first to suffer a devastating blow, but after 30 minutes of shelling, the two infantry companies were reduced by a small half.

If the commander of the second-line trenches hadn't responded in a timely manner and quickly mobilized an infantry company to take the position, they might have been taken away by a Japanese infantry squadron mixed in with the Jing'an Army.

But that was also the result of the three infantry companies in the first-line trenches being forced to use bayonets to countercharge before stabilizing the situation.

The Sichuan army was forced to use the combat mode they were least good at.

The Sichuan army was originally small, and after traveling for more than [-] miles to reach the battlefield, their physical strength had already been exhausted. Their opponents were either the tall and powerful Jing'an army, or the short-legged but well-fed Japanese army. , the result of the stabbing can be imagined.

The three infantry companies suffered only one hundred casualties in the artillery bombardment for more than half an hour, but nearly two hundred were killed on the spot in the hand-to-hand combat in less than 10 minutes.

The more than [-] Japanese and Jing'an troops who attacked did not even have half of the losses of the Chinese side.

However, the bravery of the Sichuan people supported the arrival of the reinforcements, and the Japanese army and their dogs retreated in an orderly manner seeing that there was nothing they could do.

But this is only four o'clock in the afternoon.

The old routine of the Japanese army was to attack after the bombardment was over, and to continue the bombardment if the attack could not be defeated, and the attack never stopped.

Throughout the afternoon, a total of more than 60 people were lost in battle on the left-wing position, and more than [-] enemy corpses were densely packed in front of the position.

However, in the central main position, the battle damage was as high as 400, but the corpses left by the Japanese army and the Jing'an army were very few.

That's not to say that the enemy was not killed, but that the Japanese army in charge of the attack had enough firepower to cover it, but the Sichuan army did not have the corresponding heavy firepower to suppress it, so that they could calmly take away the corpses and wounded when they retreated.

Of the only four heavy machine guns and six mortars, two of the heavy machine guns were destroyed, and the six mortars also had limited ammunition reserves, so they would fire support only as a last resort.

This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult afternoon, but the real test may only be the beginning.

Tang Dao knew that the Japanese army's attack in the afternoon was unfavorable, and tomorrow they would definitely send out fighter formations to bomb the various positions in Jiepai Village.

With the current strength of the trenches built according to the mountain, there is no place that can block the bombing of those aerial bombs that cost tens of pounds or even more than a hundred pounds.

If you want to live, you can't be lazy.

Under Tang Dao's suggestion, even though it was already night, thousands of soldiers could not rest and recharge their batteries to wait for tomorrow's battle like the enemy army who was watching thousands of meters away. The fortifications of the trenches are under construction.

Of course, digging on the original position, without reinforced concrete, only wood and sandbags, no matter how firm the fortifications were built in front of hundreds of pounds of aerial bombs, it was useless.

Tang Dao's suggestion is a simple version of the future battle of the Five Sacred Mountains on the ice sheet. If there is no time to build dense tunnels, then we can dig a lot of traffic trenches to go to the back of the mountain!

In the event of Japanese artillery bombardment, both the first-line trench and the second-line trench can be withdrawn to the other side of the mountain through the traffic trench, and then enter the position through the traffic trench when the Japanese infantry comes up.

Moreover, Tang Dao's practice of digging a large number of traffic trenches is not only to facilitate the movement of soldiers between the back of the mountain and the first-line and second-line positions, but also to designate positions for each infantry company.

Each infantry company is responsible for a numbered position. If support is needed, a signal flare is fired for help, and the frontline command will send troops to the position through the traffic trench for support.

This method is to prevent the situation that if the enemy's artillery fires fiercely and does not enter the front-line trenches in time, the front-line trenches will fall.

"Okay! Very good! Then my 145th division will come up with a hot pot tactics based on the tactics that your Battalion Commander Tang said and the Japanese invaders." After listening to Tang Dao's suggestion, the Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army invented a new vocabulary.

What is hot pot, but it is to put all the ingredients into a pot and cook, which is called random stewing in the north.

The Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army made a bolder attempt on Tang Dao's suggestion. He even decided to voluntarily give up the first line of trenches before the Japanese fighter planes came.

Come on, there is me in you, and you in me, so that the Japanese bombers dare not drop bombs easily, and if they have the ability to drop bombs, everyone will finish the game together.

This method of warfare is bold enough to prevent the heavy aerial bombs dropped by Japanese bombers from causing huge casualties, but it also has disadvantages.

If the traffic trenches where the infantry companies are located are cut off by the Japanese army, resulting in the positions being besieged by the Japanese army, the positions will be lost visible to the naked eye, and the morale will gradually decline, which may lead to a collapse. The two to three thousand people in the central main position But there is no place to die.

To put it bluntly, this method of actively leading the Japanese army into the position and relying on the infantry companies to hold their positions like scattered dandelions is no longer a test of combat strength, but will.

Only a strong and tenacious will can guarantee to continue fighting in this extreme state of hand-to-hand combat or even being besieged. Once weakened, the distance between the two sides will never exceed 200 meters. People, no one can live.

"My 145th Division, not everyone is a softie like Liu Ruzhai!" The Sichuan Army Lieutenant General met Tang Dao's slightly worried eyes and smiled generously. "I said to fight for 24 hours for you, Battalion Commander Tang, and you won't be missed in just 1 minute. This time, there is no front finger. My 145th division headquarters is the frontline headquarters."

This is the confidence of the lieutenant general of the Sichuan Army.

How can a person who is not even afraid of death be afraid of the tactical test he has determined?

Because, this time, he, the lieutenant general and division commander, will go into battle with his gun, and his headquarters will move forward 800 meters, only 500 meters away from the front line.

In the event of an extreme battle situation, the lieutenant general and his guard company will become the last line of defense on the entire position.

The 145th Division arrived at the Guangde front with an infantry brigade and a battalion with a total of 5000 lives, only to buy enough time for the mouse mountain position in the rear.

It is extremely cruel, but it is the limit of what this Sichuan Army lieutenant general can do for his country.

Tang Dao knew that he would do it.

Because, in the past time and space, after many days of bloody battles, he led only a battalion of soldiers, and still chose to fight back against the Japanese army.

The last bullet in his pistol was for himself.
