My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 350
The shelling lasted for 15 minutes and finally ended. Before the soldiers could catch their breath, the forward observation post sent a warning that the Japanese had already begun to attack.

Regardless of the mud all over their bodies, the soldiers got out of the individual artillery pits one after another.

"Arm, arm! Hurry up and move while still panting!"

"The people in the creeping pit are in place quickly, and I will move all the things in the traffic trench to the trench!"

"The machine gunner arranges the firepower points, spread out the front two and the rear one, don't fight desperately and pay attention to the consumption of ammunition."

The rain kept falling, but there were crowds of people in the position. Under the command of various officers, the soldiers quickly lay down on the trenches and took their positions, even though the raindrops drenched the whole body without fear.

The heavy rain brought inconvenience to the defense, but it also made it more difficult for the Japanese to attack. The little devil's offensive troops marched hard on the muddy road, and occasionally one or two slipped and fell in the mud, and the scene was somewhat chaotic.

Bula had already thrown away his cigarette butt. At this moment, he was lying in the soldier's pit and holding up his binoculars to watch. The scene below the mountain was extremely blurred because of the rain cover, and he couldn't see where the enemy rushed.

"Not spicy, have the mines been buried yet?"

At this time, Meng Fanle led his people to the front line, and at a glance, he couldn't see the situation ahead clearly.

Bula looked back at him, wiped the rain on his face and said casually: "It's all buried, and the three-pronged trousers fortification has also been sent over, but I'm afraid it won't last long with only two rows..."

"What three-pronged trousers? That's called a Y-shaped fortification. You masturbated again during the lecture." Meng Fan gave him a blank look.

There is an open space in the middle of the Shuangfeng Mountains, but it has become the weak point of the entire position. If the Japanese army attacked the two hills and then concentrated their forces to charge towards the middle, it would be easy to drive straight in and threaten the rear of the troops.

But the terrain here is flat, and there are not many things that can be used as cover. If the defensive force is too large, it will become a living target for the enemy, and if it is too small, it will not be effective.

So Meng took a long time to think about it and decided to use a position fortification that Liao Mingyu had taught before: Y-shaped defensive position.

It is very simple to set up this kind of defensive position. The only thing you need to know is the overall defensive position and the enemy's attack direction. A Y-shaped position can be defended with one row.

The defensive position of the first squad is 60 degrees from the defensive direction, the defensive position of the second squad is 80 degrees, and the defensive area of ​​the third squad is 300 degrees, and the command post of the platoon is set up at the center and apex of the position.

If you look at the entire position from the air, it looks like the shape of a Mercedes-Benz car logo. The long defense line extends in three directions from a central point. The trenches on each defense line are not connected. Build a double defense every 30 meters in the defensive position. Fortifications, or use two to four battle positions as a group, and use machine guns, rocket launchers, mortars and other firepower to form a solid defense system.

The two ends of each line of defense are rifle positions, the positions near the center are artillery and anti-tank positions, and the positions near the apex are machine gun positions. The main shooting direction of the machine guns is also the main defense direction of the infantry squad.

When the enemy attacked the position, he had to face two infantry squads at the same time. No matter which direction he attacked from, he would be cross-fired and flanked by the two squads.

Moreover, each two-person fortification is relatively far apart, and even large-caliber artillery shells cannot destroy the two positions at the same time, which further increases the overall survivability of the defense line.

Especially on flat terrain, the Y-shaped defensive position can implement a 360-degree circular defense, without the need for the unit to transfer to the reserve position or auxiliary position under enemy fire.

However, the top of the three Y lines is where the firepower of the entire position is weak. If the opponent concentrates his forces to attack one place, it is likely to break through the defense line. Therefore, minefields and fake fortifications are set up at each vertex to confuse and block them. The role of the enemy.

A well-trained and disciplined infantry platoon can easily disintegrate the enemy's attack by using the Y-shaped defensive position. With various weapons and equipment, it can even block the enemy's army several times its own.

Meng Fanyi set up two Y-shaped positions at the intersection of the Shuangfeng Mountains to limit the threat of the Japanese army to this land to the greatest extent, and at the same time not need to allocate too many troops, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

……

"Hayaku! Machine gun suppression, the grenadier team prepares..."

"Kill!"

The scene in front of him gradually became clear, and the Japanese forward had rushed 120 meters away from the position, but what was surprising was that the Chinese on the position hadn't opened fire until now, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

But at this time, the Devil Sergeant who led the charge couldn't control so much anymore. Seeing the attack distance, the machine gun team and grenadiers in the team quickly established shooting points, and the remaining big soldiers charged forward without stopping.

"Boom! Boom..."

200 meters is the distance for the grenadier to fire, and the Japanese have begun to bombard the ground with the grenade to cover their companions in the charge.

Skilled shooters can even achieve precise strikes with an error of no more than 1 meter at this distance, but this requires soldiers' experience and skills.

Years of war consumption has gradually reduced the number of elite soldiers on the battlefield, and the Japanese army has long since lost its glory in the past, especially in the lower ranks, there are not many real battlefield veterans.

So much so that now these grenadier shooters can't point and shoot like their predecessors, and the support effect they bring is also greatly reduced. After all, grenadiers are not affordable for recruits.

"Steady! Don't shoot, let the little devil get closer!"

"Carry the wounded ones to the back. If they are bitten by another shell, they will be shattered!"

The soldiers in the position are not melon eggs, calmly lying in the trenches silently holding the rifles in their hands, even if the enemy is bombarded with joy, they will remain motionless.

The medical soldiers rushed back and forth, because from time to time one or two unlucky people were injured by the shells, they quickly stepped forward to treat the wounded soldiers, and quickly lifted the seriously wounded who could not move from the battlefield.

The sound of the rain was accompanied by the sound of footsteps in front of the position. The devil has now rushed to a place less than 60 meters away from the position.

"Prepare!"

wow...

The sound of bullets being loaded could be heard endlessly, and the soldiers at the forefront of the position silently took out the grenade and held the pull rope in their hands.

"Right now, let's go!"

chi chi...

One by one grenades with blue smoke were thrown out by the soldiers. The blaster stared at the front. He saw the little devil entering the range and immediately pressed the detonator. Then there was a harsh explosion, 50 meters in front of the position. The pot exploded instantly within the range.
