Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 617 Courage and Wisdom

Of course, bravery may work wonders but it doesn't quite make up for a lack of training.

The security field of infantry coordination, that is, the western world where artillery tactics have been interpreted to the extreme in this era, must also be maintained at 200 meters to 400 meters, let alone the Japanese army, which is inferior to infantry coordination tactics.

Not to mention the students of the Japanese army.

Even if the guns are basically 70mm infantry guns with direct aiming guns, although they are at similar altitudes, they basically use projectiles to shoot at high elevation angles, and their accuracy is not as accurate as imagined.

At least a dozen of the infantrymen of the Jing'an Army at the forefront were blown away by their own artillery fire, but that still didn't stop the Jing'an Army from screaming to cheer themselves up and rushing upwards. The defenders turned into ashes under their own artillery fire.

In addition to being tough enough courage, it is also determined by the battle situation.

If they don't arrive at the location of the Chinese trench within a minute and a half, they will be greeted with bloody gunfire, which is the shortest timeline left to them by the Chinese defenders who were under bombardment.

No one wants to shoot at the defenders at a distance of more than [-] meters or more than ten meters. The chance of being killed by a cannon is several times higher than that.

It is even more impossible to retreat.

Before the attack, less than [-] meters behind them was the supervising team ordered by Li Shoushan himself, and the black muzzles of ten light machine guns were aimed at their backs.

"Anyone who is afraid of the battle, kill!" The murderous military order left the Jing'an Army of the three infantry companies with no way out.

In this not particularly violent shelling, Wei Donglai still left four observation posts behind.

Without the 105-type mountain artillery and [-] howitzers, the fortifications on the position are still sufficiently defensive, and the four observation posts, including Tudou, were lucky to survive.

The artillery fire was not as dense as before, but gradually became sparse. Tudou, who stayed in the half-destroyed heavy machine gun bunker with a gray head and face, finally dared to raise his head and look out through the firing holes.

His ears were buzzing, and his chest and abdomen were shaken violently. The young soldier had no chance to rejoice at the fact that he was still alive. In the thick gunpowder smoke that could not be blown away by the mountain wind, he seemed to see Jing The shadow of An Jun was running wildly on the hillside.

"The second devil came up so soon?" Tudou suddenly nodded, almost unable to believe his eyes, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, only to be sure that it wasn't his dazzled eyes.

The Jing'an army really launched a charge against the artillery fire, and the distance from the first line of trenches would never exceed [-] meters.

In a panic, Tudou and the other three observation posts blew the iron whistle hanging around their necks with all their strength.

The rapid and sharp whistle showed the anxiety of the sentries,
"Brothers, give it to me!" Cai Yongguan gritted his molars and pulled out the pistol at his waist, ready to lead the team back into the position.

Although the previous trial battle of the Jing'an Army caused heartache to the 'bandit' company commander, it also increased enough self-confidence.

The Second Devils are just like that bird, except for the loss of four observation posts in the artillery battle, they killed at least two dozen Second Devils in the wave just now, while the infantry in the trench miraculously did not lose a single person, only two People were killed by the shrapnel from the grenade explosion.

"Wait!" Wei Donglai waved his hand suddenly, gritted his teeth, and said, "Wait another half a minute."

"Commander Wei, you are crazy." Cai Yongguan widened his eyes.

The sharp iron whistle was still ringing, without seeing their faces, the soldiers who had already raised their guns in the tunnel seemed to be able to see the eagerness on the faces of their comrades.

They even heard the gunshots made by Hanyang.

Wei Donglai has to wait another half a minute, what is this for?
It's not that Wei Donglai didn't understand these things, but in the battle of Jiepai Village, he had experienced the changeable artillery tactics of the Jing'an Army.

They fired again at the moment when the trench infantry had already laid down their positions and waited for battle. The negligent infantry lost more than a dozen people as a result.

He was desperately climbing to the top of the mountain and intending to enter the infantry. If this happened to him, the loss would be great.

But undoubtedly, this is a very difficult decision. The whistle of the observation post is very urgent. It may take less than half a minute, even a dozen seconds, for the Jing'an army to rush to the main position. The second line of defense, but let the second devil easily occupy the first line of defense, and the entire highland defense battle will fall into a passive state.

As the supreme commander of the highlands, Wei Donglai must not only ensure that his troops are not damaged, but also maintain the safety of the position. This requires not only courage, but also wisdom and courage.

Facts have proved that Tang Dao did not choose the wrong person.

After struggling on the line of life and death, the young army second lieutenant in his twenties grew up at an unparalleled speed, and he made the right bet.

Cai Yongguan's voice of questioning did not exceed 20 seconds.

The ear-piercing screeching sound came from far and near.

Li Shoushan used all the mountain cannons he could use and blasted towards the top of the mountain.

"Boom, boom" one after another grenade exploded tens of meters above the head, and the ground shook again, shaking the soldiers who were already ready to go.

In the field of vision they couldn't see, the infantry of the Jing'an Army changed from a charge state to a prostrate state.

This is obviously a premeditated shelling, which was aimed at the Chinese soldiers who were reinforced from the back of the mountain to the front of the hillside.

Another shelling that lasted more than 5 minutes.

"The second devil of Gou Ri is so cunning." As brave as Cai Yong, a layer of greasy sweat broke out on his forehead.

That was really scary.

If it hadn't been for Wei Donglai's insistence on making everyone wait another half minute, the three infantry platoons that hurried to the position would definitely have suffered heavy losses.

Then don't talk about avenging the brother, maybe all the brothers he brought out from the cottage will be folded here, and there will be no one to go home to report the funeral.

No wonder Colonel Tang chose Wei Donglai, a young second lieutenant who was promoted just before the battle, to be the supreme commander. This really has two brushes!
For the first time, Cai Yongguan felt convinced compared to Wei Donglai, who was one year younger than himself, which undoubtedly laid a good foundation for the sincere cooperation between the two.

This can be regarded as Wei Donglai's own ability, otherwise, relying on Tang Dao's military order alone, he cannot 100% guarantee that this brave 'bandit' company commander will obey what he says.

Of course, Wei Donglai, who made this decision, was secretly calling himself lucky.

The past battlefields provided him with such experience, but what prompted him to make such a decision was not only the experience, but also his judgment on the battle situation.

The bombardment of the Japanese army was still going on, and the observation posts with poor visibility could see a large number of Japanese troops. It was too fast to urge everyone to enter the position so eagerly, unless the Jing'an Army was charging with its own artillery shells.

And the battle has only just begun, and it is far from the time for the Jing'an Army to charge to the death, and just those two devils, do they have such a strong will?

What an excellent commander needs is not a superhumanly intelligent mind, but more importantly, the ability to make what he thinks is the most correct judgment based on the battlefield situation.

Wei Donglai is on the way to become an excellent commander.

He was right 50.00%.

Yet 50.00% is wrong.

In this round of battle, Li Shoushan and his Jing'an Army showed a stronger will to fight than the regular Japanese army.

Before they became bereaved dogs.

Wei Donglai's mistake was really because he had never been a 'dog' before, and he didn't know the psychology of a 'dog'.

When the "dogs" have been around for a long time, they are used to wagging their tails and begging for mercy. Any promise from the master can show them a beautiful picture of the future.

Their biggest dream is to be able to stand high in the occupied areas like the Japanese, and take whatever they want from those former fellow clansmen who pointed at their spines and scolded them.

Even if you scold me in your heart, why don't you behave like a dog in front of me?If I tell you to call out once, you dare not call out more.

After being a dog for a long time, I want to be the boss of the dog!This is the distorted psychology of being a 'dog'.

Therefore, no matter whether it is from Korea, Wanwan or Manchuria, the gang of servant soldiers is even more bloodthirsty than the Japanese.

It seems that only in this way can they feel that their existence is reasonable.

Normal people are incomprehensible.

Only a madman can understand a madman.

The sane Wei Donglai made a mistake.

There are four observation posts on the entire position, but a hundred meters away is the Jing'an Army that has climbed up from the ground again.

They almost counted the time, and a few seconds after the mountain artillery stopped shelling, they began to charge.

With four rifles, facing the charge of nearly 300 people, it is completely a man's arm.
