large ballistics

Chapter 437
"In front of the imperial cannon, a small pass is not worth mentioning."

After watching a loud noise, the pass in front of the telescope disappeared immediately. Amakasu Shigetaro put down the telescope on his horseback, and his tone was quite emotional, and then he ordered:
"Order the Mountain Artillery Regiment to cover it with artillery fire, and the [-]st Infantry Regiment is ready to attack! The [-]rd Infantry Regiment will attack from the right wing, advance together and quickly open the Kuzhuling passage. Tonight we will pass through the Kuzhuling and set up camp!"

After the order was passed on, the signal soldier lowered the signal red flag again, "Get ready~ let it go!"

On the artillery positions built by the Mountain Artillery Regiment, the cannons were ejected one after another and flew to the hillside positions on both sides of the pass that had disappeared.The hillside ignited a continuous explosion flame, and the flames of the explosion shone brightly on the faces of all the officers and soldiers.

The air wave of the explosion swept up from the hillside, and the sky over this area was filled with wind and clouds for a while.

Many temporary trenches on the top of the hill were blown up, and the officers and soldiers who were lying on the bottom of the trenches with their heads in their arms were buried below.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the degree of care in the construction of the fortifications can be tested, and it is also a test of the endurance of the soldiers.

Soldiers who survived the anti-encirclement campaign at the main peak of Meiling leaned back in the trenches with their guns in their hands, their faces steady like old dogs. It was a desperate moment; and the recruited recruits showed panic.

The construction of the fortifications was personally supervised by Li Chong who rammed the earth. Li Chong knew that before the devils attacked, they had to wash the ground with cannon fire. Before the devils came over these two days, except for digging and destroying the road to slow down the speed of the devils' march, Li Chong spent the rest of the time in person. Nailed to the position to supervise the officers and soldiers to build trenches.

For the construction of the fortifications, Li Chong referred to the "ant-shaped trenches" tried and tested by Chief Xue in Wanjialing, but on the mountain he was stationed on, the surface of the mountain was covered with deep and shallow soil, and the shallow places were made of stones. pile up.

Under the cover of the devil's intensive artillery fire, some piled up trenches were the first to fail.

The artillery cover is the outpost of the attack. When the artillery fire began to reach forward, under the cover of the artillery fire, the captain of the [-]st Infantry Regiment pulled out the saguan sword in his hand and pointed obliquely forward.

"Kill it (attack!)"

The two infantry brigades on the left and right sides behind the captain were immediately dispatched, each rushing towards a hill in a dense manner.

As the first division of the 33rd Division to participate in a large-scale battle, even though an Araki detachment was left squatting in Anyi County, the basic establishment was intact.The division mainly consists of three infantry regiments, each regiment has three infantry brigades under it, and each brigade has three squadrons under its jurisdiction. At this moment, the devils are confident in sending only two brigades to attack on the main road. To open up the road ahead.

At this moment, no matter whether it was Amakasu Shigetaro who was riding on the horse, or the captain who issued the attack order at the front, facing the two hills in front of him, he didn't feel that he would waste much time here.

In the eyes of these commanders, they had already foreseen the scene where their soldiers rushed up the hillside, and the Chinese defenders barely resisted a wave, and the imperial soldiers could only retreat due to the strength of the imperial soldiers.

These devil officers are self-confident. They are confident that a brigade of their own can defeat a division of the China Chongqing Army.

There is also a basis for this mentality of defeating the enemy and winning. It has been demonstrated in any previous siege battles, so these senior devil officers are ready to appreciate the scene of their soldiers destroying the Chinese positions.

With an order, the devil who was ready to attack raised his spear, pulled the bolt, and sent the bullets into the muzzle. A tank and two chariots stepped on the accelerator, and creaking wrapped the devil towards the two hills together. Press it.

"The devil is attacking! Prepare to greet!"

At the pass where the artillery fire moved forward, on the hills on both sides, the company commanders in each position shouted, and the officers and soldiers who had been lying in the trenches or in other holes to avoid the artillery fire entered their respective defensive positions one after another. erected on top of the trenches.

At this moment, Li Chong's heavy machine gun platoon and artillery platoon were broken into pieces, and the heavy machine gun platoon had built more than a dozen heavy machine gun positions on the entire hill.

As the head of the regiment, Li Chong did not go to the forward position after hearing what the brigade commander said, but he did not squat in the temporary command post either.Because this kind of battle at the level of a division to stop the devils, the layout that should be done has been completed, and the tasks undertaken by each battalion company have also been clarified. No matter how much a regiment leader can command, it can't do better.

What the whole regiment has to do at this moment is to withstand the attack wave of devils with their lives; and what Li Chong should do as the regiment leader is to show up on the battlefield. , together with the guard platoon, in the position in front of the temporary command post, to prop up the fighting will of the whole regiment.

The [-]rd Regiment has no retreating soldiers. With me, Li Chong, on the ground, if I don't retreat, who dares to retreat!

180 meters!

100 meters!

The sweat of the soldiers on the two hilltop positions on the left and right dripped into the rock and soil. Although the two devil brigades were advancing towards a hilltop, there was still a tank in the middle, and there was a tank on each side of the tank. guard.The tanks and chariots are surrounded by ghosts, becoming a sharp knife on the entire attack line!

80 meters!
The devil who was walking ahead step by step has changed from walking to running.

The officers and soldiers on the battlefield couldn't help trembling a little, causing the hands holding the guns to shake a little. The young soldiers wiped the sweat from their faces with their sleeves, and tried desperately to open their eyes that were dazzled by sweat. Aim at the ghosts that are getting closer.

On the ground in front of the command post, Li Chong held up the sniper rifle in his hand, aiming at a second lieutenant captain next to the tank. As he exhaled, he decisively pulled the trigger with his finger, and a smear of blood spurted out precisely.

As soon as the clear gunshot rang out, the gunshots rang out on Li Chong's forward position.After a while, the hilltop positions on the brigade headquarters also opened fire!
In this area, dense gun lines from both sides immediately filled the entire space, and the entire mountain facing the front of the devil turned into a giant beast that could spew bullets.

The devil tanks at the forefront of the attack line are fully speeding up, and wherever the gun barrel points, the position will be reduced to ashes.

Perhaps the hill where Li Chong is located is a little further forward, and the slope is also slower. A tank and a chariot are heading towards Li Chong's position at the same time, and the other chariot is heading towards the brigade headquarters. Go up the hill.

"boom!"

On the forward position, a machine gun position that crazily harvested the lives of a large number of attacking devils was blown up to ashes, driving several soldiers who threw grenades into the air.

The tank is fierce!

Under the cover of the tanks, these devils rushed forward quickly, pointing to where the devils tanks and chariots did not know where to hit. Pushed out, the pushed up mountain cannons were aimed at the approaching tanks and chariots at their respective positions, ready to find an opportunity to launch a ruthless wave.
