Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 616 'Dog' Bravery!

The Jing'an Army with a decisive battle mentality retreated much earlier than they imagined.

The nearly one-hour bombardment did not cause as much damage to the Chinese defenders as they imagined, and the opponents who survived the artillery fire were much stronger than they imagined, even if they were very careful.

The gunpowder smoke that still enveloped the battlefield blocked the sight of the Chinese defenders and also covered the eyes of the Japanese army. It was not until 300 Jing'an troops rushed to more than 50 meters from the main position that the two sides began to shoot.

It is almost a distance that can be hand-to-hand in a few seconds, so that the artillerymen of both China and Japan can only watch from the sidelines for the time being.

At this time, the advantages of the 10 submachine guns and shell guns transferred by Tang Dao to Wei Donglai and Cai Yongguan's two infantry companies were perfectly displayed.

The terrifying rate of fire far surpassed the 300-type rifle, so that 50 Jing'an soldiers were suppressed at a distance of [-] meters and could not move.

The Type 92 heavy machine guns located on the opposite mountain did not dare to use the previous method of firepower coverage to cover their own infantry at this distance. At most, only a quarter of the heavy machine guns fired a firepower that was not enough to attack all submachine gun firepower points. Suppression, and more than 200 meters away, the prepared grenade team can only blindly throw grenades at the position in the smoke. Naturally, the shooting of blind cats and dead mice will not have much effect.

It is estimated that the infantry of the Jing'an Army regretted that they ran too fast and were too close to the Chinese defenders.

The geographical location of the Chinese defenders is condescending, and the distance of 50 meters is enough for a few soldiers with big arms and round waists to throw long-handled grenades that are easier to throw from a trench as deep as two meters.

Especially Cai Yongguan, who called himself Cai Dadao, let Wei Donglai see the gangster spirit in this company commander known as the "bandit leader".

It is not only desperate, but also powerful and jaw-dropping.

His broad and thick body, like a door panel, makes people know at a glance that there must be a strength that is difficult for ordinary people to match. Maybe the thick-backed machete behind him can really do what he said, what is it in him? Even if it is a piece of iron, it will be cut in two with a knife.

But the ability to throw more than a dozen grenades over 60 meters in one breath is not entirely dependent on strength. The coordinated strength of the waist, shoulders and back shows a very high level of training.

This should not be the ability value that an infantry company commander should possess at all.

Perhaps, switching to Tang Dao may not necessarily be able to do better than him, including Lao Hei, who once won a good ranking in the Yulin Army Bomb Throwing Competition, I am afraid that he can only be behind.

And if Wei Donglai knew that in the era when the caravans were cut off and lacked sources of supplies, the young Cai Yongguan used to kill pheasants, rabbits, foxes, wolves and other wild animals with his bare hands to support more than a dozen and a half children. The ability is not so surprising.

Any creature, if it cannot change with the change of the environment, can only be eliminated.

Proficient in throwing, and with a 2-meter-deep trench as cover, it is simply a humanoid mortar.

Cai Yongguan, who lived up to the expectations of his parents and the three armies of Yongguan, is amazing, and the Jing'an army is naturally terrible.

The dozen or so grenades that Cai Yongguan threw out in one breath were equivalent to more than a dozen small mortar shells. Although under the threat of infantry rifle fire from the army, they did not have too much accuracy to prevent them from being thrown directly at the army's head, but the No. 3 Heights was already It's not big, and the other side is under the coverage of the No. 1 highland. The Jing'an army can only attack from two of the curved hillsides. 300 people are lined up on the front line of no more than 600 meters. This formation is naturally A little denser.

The distance between each individual soldier will never exceed four meters.

No matter what position Cai Yongguan loses, as long as the approximate position is in the Jing'an Army's attack formation, the chances are much higher than that of a blind cat hitting a mouse.

More than a dozen grenades exploded in the infantry formation of the Jing'an Army. After more than a dozen prostrate Jing'an soldiers were blown up and flew into the air, the major and battalion commander of the Jing'an Army, who was more than 100 meters behind the position, issued a retreat. Signal.

The Jing'an Army dragged the wounded and dead, and retreated 300 meters away in an orderly manner under the cover of their own machine guns and grenades.

Obviously, this is also a tactical arrangement.

Although the firepower of the Chinese defenders is fierce and the casualties caused to their own side are not small, the Jing'an army is by no means made of tofu. As the highest commander on the front line, the battalion commander-level officer will never attack He chose to retreat within a few minutes, especially after Li Shoushan gave the order to attack to the death.

This time the attack was not even used for firepower reconnaissance to find light and heavy firepower points on the opponent's position, but to see how many troops the Chinese defenders had left to fight after the hour-long shelling.

As the first-line commander, the experienced major officer estimated that the Chinese defenders in the position are about one infantry company, and even if the reserve team is added, the number of soldiers will not exceed 300. judgment.

This kind of troop strength estimate has strategic guiding significance for the follow-up investment of the Jing'an Army, which has nearly 3 infantry combat strength before the No. 2000 position.

In other words, this is what Li Shoushan needs to know, although his brain hurts a bit.

If the 300 defenders fought like the battle of Jiebei Village, his half-disabled infantry brigade could be called the first battalion of the Jing'an Army from now on.

But that has to be fought, who made Kunizaki stunned master to stroke the dog's head "gentlely"!As long as there is the approval of the Japanese master, this brigade is gone, and he can return to Manchuria at any time to form another one.

Naturally, he would not lose his troops on this attack that didn't have much significance.

Wei Donglai didn't even order a counterattack. After the Battle of Jiepai, he was no longer the infantry platoon leader who led an infantry platoon to confront a regiment of the Jing'an Army with his bloody courage.

In actual combat, under the guidance of Tang Dao, he also had a clear enough understanding of the Japanese army's tactics.

Although the Jing'an army is aggressive, it is still firepower reconnaissance. After they observe the Chinese position at close range, more precise shelling will come soon.

His judgment is very precise.

Otherwise, Tang Daona would easily let an officer with only courage serve as the commander of a highland, which would be related to the lives and deaths of hundreds of people.

Two observation posts were left again, and the soldiers on the position quickly retreated through the broken traffic trenches into the trenches behind the mountain.

Sure enough, but 2 minutes later, the Japanese artillery group that received the previous situation report opened fire again, but this time the shelling ended after only 10 minutes. There were no mountain artillery and howitzers, and basically all infantry artillery that belonged to the direct-pointing artillery type fired.

What was even more different from the previous time was that the infantry of the Jing'an Army entered the attack state when the artillery fire was turned on. As the artillery fire bloomed on the top of the mountain, they began to move up the hillside.

Typical infantry coordination.

The infantry of the Jing'an Army running at the forefront is only 150 meters away from the top of the mountain where the artillery is blooming.

This is almost equivalent to holding a gun on the forehead and resisting with a knife.

With the spirit of not fearing life and death, the Japanese "dogs" not only broke the limit of the infantry coordination in the Western world at this time, the distance should not be less than 200 meters, but also walked in the forefront of their Japanese masters in the use of this tactic.

"Gentlemen, congratulations for this move for the Jing'an Army!" Kunisaki looked at all this through the telescope in a daze, and couldn't help but use his white-gloved hands to applaud the bravery of the loyal dog of the empire.

This almost exaggerated bravery is naturally bad news for the Chinese defenders!
