Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 970 The Gate of Hell Opens!
April 4 at 1:2pm!
After a slightly lengthy probing attack, Guteng Nagakura finally gave the order to attack.

This time, instead of three infantry squadrons making continuous tentative attacks, the Japanese army invested up to seven infantry squadrons at one time.

Put two into No. 1 and No. 2 highlands, and put one into No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 highlands. If you look down from the heights, the earthy yellow of the mountains and plains makes your scalp numb.

Especially on the No. 1 and No. 2 highlands, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it has been plowed several times by more than 16 artillery pieces. Burnt black.

Seeing that the Japanese army began to increase the input of troops, the two infantry company commanders Cai Yongguan and Zhao Daqiang no longer devoted themselves to building trenches. When the Japanese forwards reached the 200-meter area, they ordered their respective four heavy machine guns to fire to suppress the infantry.

当日军停留在400米外的两辆89坦克和4辆94式坦克开始向前运动，并试图对己方步兵形成火力掩护时，藏在两个高地背后一直隐而为发的8门82迫击炮开始发威。

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Mud water and gunpowder smoke splashed.

In the fiery artillery fire, even the 94 tank with a steel body was shaken from side to side by the blast.

"Yo Xi! The Chinese are finally willing to show their housekeeping skills." Gu Tengchang, who had been observing the battlefield with a telescope, was not surprised but pleased.

If on the battlefield, the weapons that the Chinese hate the Japanese army the most are artillery and grenades, then the Japanese army is also extremely afraid of a weapon of the Chinese army.

The 82 mortar is light in weight and extremely mobile. Although the range is not far, the lethality is not small. Many Japanese infantry and light and heavy firepower were injured by this simple artillery.

Fortunately, most of China's army is poorly equipped. Even with this kind of simple artillery, an ordinary infantry regiment only has a few units. The number is scarce and the firepower is weak, which cannot play a decisive role in the battlefield.

But for the elite infantry regiment of the Four Elements Regiment, Guteng Nagakaka will not ignore it. Based on its past record, Guteng Nagakura judges that it has no less than 10 such mortars. Otherwise, the Fifth Division, the 14th Division Those colleagues in the division are not all pigs, how could they be surrounded and killed so easily?

Despise the opponent strategically, but must pay attention to the opponent tactically. Gu Teng's insidiousness and cunning are all based on wisdom, and it is not just a bad stomach.

Stupid bastard, not to mention having enemies, even if his own people can't survive three episodes, how can they have a chance to sit on the throne of Army Major General?
Therefore, from the beginning, the 69th Infantry Regiment did not put heavy machine guns on the two wings to provide fire support for the infantry as in the past, but mainly relied on the heavy machine guns of the 94 tanks and the 89mm guns of the 57 tanks.

This is the advantage of having armor. The Chinese's light and heavy machine guns cannot penetrate 10 mm thick armor. Moreover, in order to prevent the Chinese from hiding direct-pointing guns, several tanks stayed 400 meters away.

During the full hour and a half of the tentative attack, the Chinese did not cause any damage to the heavy firepower points of the 69th Infantry Regiment except for the fire suppression of the infantry. On the contrary, they allowed the mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and tank artillery to destroy many exposed Come out of the firepower point.

But now, seeing that the imperial army has begun to increase its military input and use more tanks to attack, the Chinese should have no choice but to use their cards.

Guteng Nagakura and Sasaki Xiaoyong felt grateful for the bullets constantly exploding on the tank's marching route. With this firepower, if it fell into the heavy machine gun position, the heavy machine gun would lose a lot.

It's a pity that this round of shelling is very fierce for the infantry, but it can only be regarded as scratching the itch for the rough-skinned 89 tank. Even the thin-skinned Type 94 light tank, as long as it is not continuously hit by shells in the front, it will not There is a big problem, air waves and shrapnel cannot break through 10 mm thick armor.

"Order, the chariot squadron will continue to increase investment!" Guteng Naga's hard eyes showed viciousness. "I want the Chinese to howl under the treads of my chariot, and let them understand that the so-called courage is to be crushed."

Following the order of the brigade commander of the Japanese Army Major General, several Type 94 light tanks roared out of the woods.

仅是2号高地之前，就有5辆94式坦克和1辆89式坦克。

Waiting until the five tanks arrived at about 5 meters from the first-line position, the Japanese army, which was suppressed by heavy machine guns, began to move around.

At least a hundred or so Japanese soldiers followed the five tanks, using the tanks as shields, and slowly advanced upwards.

The leading 89-type tank is the most arrogant, where it dares to shoot, no matter it is a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun, it is a single shot at the target, so that the light and heavy machine guns in the trenches are quickly moved down with a shuttle, and then replaced. Fighting in places seriously affected the continuous firepower.

Fortunately, during the hour of the Japanese tentative attack, the guys dug trenches for a while, and with the sandbags filled with the excavated soil, the depth of the trenches can basically reach 1.5 meters, so there is no need to wait for crawling like before. , you can move just by bending over.

10 meters above the second-line trench, in a fortification covered by thick sandbags.

"Company commander, why don't you fuck with him?" A sergeant squad leader asked Cheng Tieshou, who was looking at the battlefield below with a binoculars.

Beside the two of them was a 37mm anti-aircraft gun!
Knowing that the Japanese army would come with chariots, why didn't Tang Dao make arrangements in advance?

The three highlands No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 face the road directly, and the slope exceeds 40 degrees. If the Japanese tanks stay on the road, they will be live targets for infantry artillery. The Japanese army must not and dare not deploy tanks on those two sides.

Therefore, only the two highlands facing the mountains will encounter the impact of tanks.

Bai Sheng's engineering company did not participate in the excavation of the trenches, and basically worked hard to build four anti-battery fortifications.

The current engineering company is no longer the simple version of the old New Eighth Division’s engineering company that only had picks and hoes. They are not only equipped with pack horses to help transport tools, but also use their transport capacity to carry mines, explosives, and a batch of special equipment for building reinforced fortifications. Steel plate, steel column.

The thickness of the steel plate reaches 30 mm, which is enough to withstand the frontal bombardment of the 70 mm infantry gun and the 75 mountain gun.

They were all masterpieces of the smelting furnace seized from Lucheng. It took Mr. Xiao He only 5 days to provide 20 steel plates of different sizes according to the specifications required by Baisheng. The steel pillars as thick as arms were used to For support.

Because, according to Tang Dao's requirements, this kind of fortification is not only able to resist 70 infantry guns and 57mm tank guns on the front, but also must be able to resist the bombardment of 75mm or even 105mm howitzers on the top.

To build this kind of fortification, it must first be semi-submerged, reducing the bomb-affected area to less than 1 meter.

The big pit at the bottom is naturally obtained by blasting, and then it is regularized by manual excavation. If there is enough time for the fort above the ground, it is naturally poured with reinforced concrete, but in this kind of field battlefield, who will give you so much? time?

The outside is piled with sandbags, supplemented by soil, and the steel plate deeply inserted into the soil is sandwiched in the middle, and then two layers of sandbags are used to build it. of dirt.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from easily discovering and exposing, a large number of shrubs were moved to the entire fortification. From a distance, at most, the shrubs here are dense enough to grow.

There are also two 50-meter-long traffic trenches dug behind the reinforced artillery fortifications, which can be used for infantry shooting and evacuation.

In an hour and a half, Bai Sheng's engineering company completed such a large project. As the company commander of the 2nd Pao Company, Cheng Tieshou ruthlessly made a contribution to Bai Sheng's engineering company in front of Tang Dao.

Originally, as the commander of Pao 2 Company, he didn't need to come to the front line, even Tang Dao persuaded him.

After all, the more important job of the 2nd Artillery Company is air defense. If the bombing by the Japanese planes is too fierce, the machine guns may have to rely on him, a veteran shooter, to fight.

But what Cheng Tieshou said made everyone stop persuading him.

"Back in Mouse Mountain, one of my heavy fire platoon brothers disappeared, and I didn't even see many of them for the last time.

This time, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, even if I die, my brothers know that their company commander is here! "When he said this, Cheng Tieshou's big black face didn't have much expression.

But Tang Dao knew that his general, who was promoted by the machine gun platoon leader, had always been hurt in his heart.

The two infantry companies Wei Donglai and Cai Yongguan were almost wiped out, but anyway, the two company commanders have been fighting side by side with everyone. We and the commander are brothers in life and death, and even if the soldiers die, there is some comfort.

But Cheng Tieshou's fire support platoon didn't see their company commander until all members died in battle. When they sacrificed, did they complain about Cheng Tieshou, the company commander? This was a hurdle that Cheng Tieshou couldn't overcome Son.

Cheng Tieshou, who used to talk a lot, became a little silent after that battle.

Some people say that it is maturity, but if the price of maturity is to exchange the lives of his brothers, then Tang Dao would rather everyone be naive.

What's more, the four fortifications specially reserved for anti-aircraft guns are fairly strong. Even if they are hit by a 57mm tank gun in the front, they can block several shots, and Tang Dao can do whatever he wants.

"Don't worry, let the dog go forward for a few tens of meters, and I will let him hide!" Cheng Tie didn't turn his head, his eyes were fixed on the front. "Order No. 2 gun position, don't need to hit those little peas. Once No. 1 position fires, then cooperate to catch the Type 89 and shoot it for me. If the two guns can't take care of his goddamn one, you two squad leaders Let me go to the cooking class to steam steamed buns."

Regardless of the fact that the Type 89 tank is a medium-sized tank, it looks like a huge monster up close, but if it is pulled away, especially if it is 300 meters away, it is actually not much bigger than a target.

It doesn't mean that it can be hit with one shot.

There are many sharpshooters, but there are really few sharpshooters!
Moreover, the frontal armor of the Type 89 tank reaches 35mm, and there are arc angles. If there is no straight-line hit, even the armor-piercing projectile of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun has a high probability of being shot by the arc angle.

Therefore, Cheng Tie first concentrated the firepower of the two cannons, and he did not hesitate to use a sledgehammer to kill chickens.

As for the two guns on the No. 1 high ground, their shooting angles are completely out of reach here, so they can only use the 94-style tanks first.

At this moment, the phone in the fortification rang.

After the battle in Licheng, the Four Elements Regiment seized a lot of telephones and wires from the Japanese army's warehouse, and now the Four Elements Regiment has transformed itself into several modernizations.

The company headquarters on this high ground can talk to the regiment headquarters, not to mention, they can even directly communicate with the two artillery companies and several artillery positions in the fortifications.

"Company Commander Cai called and asked if our 2nd Artillery Company was still working. Several of his machine guns were blown up by the brat's tank guns, and several people were killed or injured. If he doesn't fire back, he will scold his mother." The sergeant squad leader put down the phone and reported to Cheng Tieshou.

"Don't care about him, this guy has a bad temper. Do you know how to lure the enemy into deep? Te Liang can't kill this 89 tank at once, let him run away, hide a few hundred meters away and shoot, more people will die .” Cheng Tieshou waved his hand, insisting on his own ideas.

"He even threatened to scold his mother, and he just scolded me. I remember he put his arms around my shoulders and called my brother many times. If you have the ability, give our brothers' father a little bit."

The sergeant squad leader grinned, but didn't interrupt the discussion.

He knows the relationship between his company commander and that company commander Cai. Since the Battle of Mouse Mountain, maybe the two of them have suffered from the pain of the battle, or maybe their tempers are opposite, and they have become close friends since then. You can't engage in the trick, but the two are called brothers.

The elder brother Cai Lianchang wants to scold his mother, but the younger brother Cheng Tieshou can let him scold him, anyway, he is not alone.

"Cheng Tieshou, the dog day, is really not afraid of being scolded by me!" Cai Yongguan in the trench was so anxious that his eyes were red.

The Type 89 tank continued to show off its power on the battlefield against the constant bullets, firing continuously.

That is to say, if the trench is dug deep enough, when the shell hits the edge of the trench, the kinetic energy is basically diluted by the sandbags and soil above the trench. As long as there are no people within a few meters, the lethality is not that great.

But even so, several people were still hit by the splashing gravel, their bones were either broken, or they were beaten profusely with blood.

There is still a steel helmet. If there is no head protection, the casualty rate will at least double.

As the company commander, it is strange that Cai Yongguan is not in a hurry.

But the two anti-aircraft guns were more patient than he imagined, and they waited until the Japanese tanks approached the trench to about 200 meters before firing.

"Boom!" The first shot hit the side of the Type 89 tank half a meter away.

The armor-piercing projectile missed the tank but hit a rock, and the flying stone fragments directly swept down a dozen infantrymen who were following the tank.

The broken stones shattered by armor-piercing bullets were no less powerful than shrapnel. Wherever they hit, there would be a bloody hole, but they couldn't die for a while. The pain caused the Japanese infantry to roll and howl on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, an armor-piercing projectile was fired from another direction.

Due to the angle of the shot, the shot was even more crooked, but it hit the ground three meters behind the tank.

Good guy, the few unlucky kids who were still rolling on the ground were blown away, and the battlefield became much quieter in an instant.

One shot!One shot!These two guns are pretty cool.

That is, the Japanese army who was bombed by the front cannon cried.

If you are very good at fighting tanks, you will fight tanks. Why did Mao catch our infantry to fight?This is bullying us without armor!

Artillery from the 2nd artillery company: I also want to hit small and medium tanks with one shot!Special strength doesn't allow it, doesn't it?
Seeing that his two cannons failed to return twice in a row, Cheng Tieshou's big black face was also very dark, even if it was two cannons that killed at least four Japanese infantrymen.

But the most panicked ones at the moment were not the Japanese infantry, but the Japanese armored soldiers.

"Baga! The Chinese have anti-tank guns, back up! Back up!" The second lieutenant of the Japanese armored soldier, who poked his head out of the top cover and was silently observing the front, turned pale with fright.

He has personally seen the power of the German-made artillery equipped by the Chinese army in North China. The 37mm rapid-fire gun is not small in caliber, but its power is not small. Let alone the Type 94 light tank, his predecessor The captain of the captain was sent away by this kind of artillery equipped with armor-piercing bullets.

After the war, when the captain was found from the empty tank that had been burnt to death, a 1.7-meter-tall man curled up into a black ball, with a total weight of no more than 30 kilograms, like a Roasted lamb on the grill exudes a strange aroma.

The second lieutenant of the armored soldier who carried out his former chief with his own hands swore that even if he died, he would not die like this.

The driver who was slapped on the shoulder by his own car captain was anxious, stepped on the accelerator and reversed the car, completely forgetting that there were more than a dozen infantrymen behind the car.

"Baga! You bastard!" The Japanese infantry, who were still scolding the Chinese artillery just now, were rendered incapable of control by their own armored soldiers.

If they weren't strong enough to roll away quickly, the cliff would have turned into meatloaf.

But if there are quick responses, there must be slow ones. After all, there are still two wounded soldiers who only care about howling and don't notice the supernatural operation of their own tanks.

"Peng Peng!" Two creepy muffled sounds came from under the crazy tracks of the tank, as if two landmines had been crushed.

The force of the bursting of the human chest after being suddenly subjected to strong pressure is absolutely beyond the imagination of human beings.

The spattered blood even sprayed out more than ten meters, washing the faces of several Japanese infantrymen following another 94 tank.

Not to mention the bloody scene at the scene, even the Japanese veterans who had seen too many cruel battlefields were stunned.

The point is that the tracks of the tank that was crazily reversing are still rolling, and blood and flesh mixed with mud are splashing everywhere.

The smell of internal organs, the smell of squeezed human excrement and urine, and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke made this battlefield a hell on earth.

But in fact, this is just the opening of the gate of hell, and the grinning devil of hell has not really come yet.
