Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 179 Infantry Coordination!

"Squad, Chief of Staff."

At this time, a staff officer ran up to the roof of the bunker headquarters and reported to Xu Rui and Luo Youduhui: "First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping and Second Battalion Commander Liu Shuoming reported that the Japanese bombers caused few casualties.".

"According to the air defense preparations in advance, when the Devil bombers attacked, almost all the defenders on the mountain were ordered to enter the air-raid shelter behind the mountain. Only a few soldiers were killed and a few were injured."

Hearing this, Xu Rui and Luo Youdu looked at each other, and they were secretly relieved.

Fortunately, fortunately, air defense preparations were made in advance.

Otherwise, the heavy aerial bombs dropped by [-] Devil [-] bombers would be enough to destroy the soldiers of the first and second battalions on the ground positions on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain.

"Order Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming to maintain vigilance for air defense at all times. The Devil bomber fleet returns to the flight, and must return to the Devil's airport to load the ammunition for aerial bombs and aviation machine guns."

Xu Rui said to the staff officer who came up to report: "Let them not relax.".

"Yes, group seat."

The staff officer who came up to report the situation stood at attention and saluted, then turned and ran down the roof.

And Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu held up binoculars together and looked down from the city.

At this time, on the mountains of Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, after being bombed, a large number of trees were bombed and burned.

Billowing thick smoke from the battlefield drifted over the two hills.

Of course, Nagata Taro and Major General Taketo Kenzaburo, chief of staff of the division, also saw this scene clearly.

"Souga, Souga!"

Nagata Taro held up the binoculars to observe the scene after the bombing of Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, and said to Kenzaburo Taketo with satisfaction: "The bombers of the Empire are indeed powerful. The heavy aerial bombs have killed the enemy troops on the two mountains. The surface position is riddled with holes."

"It's just that I can't seem to see the corpses of enemy soldiers on the mountain being blown out."

Taketo Kensaburo heard the words and said, "Maybe it was blown to pieces by the bombers of the imperial army?".

"maybe!"

The bombed Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain were billowing with gunpowder smoke, and the line of sight was somewhat obscured. Coupled with the relatively long distance, Nagata Taro felt that Taketo Kenzaburo's statement had some truth.

But after thinking about it, the head of the enemy's 303rd regiment will not fail to see the threat of the imperial army's fighter planes.

"There should be an air-raid shelter!"

Nagata Taro then said: "It seems that the bombing may not necessarily kill all the enemy defenders on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain.".

"There should be remnants of troops!"

Taketo Kensaburo nodded, and then said: "It is very possible what the head of the division said."

"Moreover, I observed through the telescope that although the enemy positions on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain were riddled with holes by the imperial army's aerial bombs, their positions are still there."

After a pause, Taketo Kenzaburo said, "Division commander, you can let the artillery regiment start shelling."

"Um!!!"

Nagata Taro saw that the bomber had returned, and the roar of the plane had disappeared. He immediately said to Kenzaburo Taketo: "Order the artillery wing behind to bombard Zhuyuan according to the calibrated bombardment, and immediately bombard Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain in groups.".

"Order the division's 20th Infantry Brigade and the 21st Infantry Brigade to dispatch an infantry brigade to attack under the cover of coordinated artillery fire according to the plan of the headquarters."

Taketo Kensaburo paused heavily and said: "Yes, division commander." Immediately, he sent someone to order the ground attack to begin.

One minute later, all the artillery of the Artillery Wing belonging to the 1th Division of the Devils, which had already been prepared, plus the six 36-type infantry artillery of the 41st Infantry Wing belonging to the Third Brigade, began to attack the enemy according to the pre-war Bei Shan and Xiao Bei Shan calibrated the bombardment elements to launch the bombardment.

"Target Dabei Mountain, the enemy's position on Xiaobei Mountain, the distance is 300 meters, the height is reduced by two, the left and right are zero and three, there is no base burst, shelling for 3 minutes, release!!!"

As Colonel Ishino Taro, the artillery regiment commander of the Devil's 36th Division, fiercely lowered the command triangle flag in his hand, all the Devil's artillery immediately loaded the shells, and immediately pulled the gun rope and fired suddenly.

"Tom tom tom, tom tom tom!!!"

There was a sound of cannonballs being ejected, and then under the excellent visibility of the sunny sight, the shells screamed and headed towards the Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain more than 300 meters to the north. .

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Soon, in a few seconds or so, piercing shells screamed densely.

The defenders on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain did not come out at this time, but they all heard the screams of the devil's shelling from the air-raid shelters on the two hills.

"Made, the little devil is shelling!"

A certain veteran from the 303 regiment in the air-raid shelter cursed.

"A 105mm one, a 75mm one, and a 70mm one."

Some veterans of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army accurately judged the caliber of the Devil's artillery after the bombing of the Devil's shells amidst the subsequent rumbling explosions.

At this time, the sound of rumbling explosions had already exploded in the defensive positions on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Intensive explosions exploded on and below Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, and the flames exploded into the sky.

The smoke from the explosion immediately filled up densely.

Since this was a concentrated bombardment by the Devil's artillery group, of course, compared with the bombing by the Devil's bomber group just now, the intensity was obviously not at the same level.

Therefore, Chen Zhenping, the first battalion commander, and Liu Shuoming, the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming, who were in the hidden bunkers on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, passed through the observation ports of their respective battalion command posts and saw the positions on their respective mountains. The case of shelling.

On Dabei Mountain, the observation port of the Command Post of the First Battalion.

Chen Zhenping, the commander of the first battalion, saw the situation of his own defenders' positions on Dabei Mountain through the observation port.

"Ma De, the little devil has concentrated at least forty artillery pieces!"

Chen Zhenping said in surprise.

"Look, battalion commander, the little devil infantry is coming up!"

At this time, a battalion staff officer standing beside Chen Zhenping quickly pointed to the devil infantry that appeared in the distance down the mountain, taking advantage of the cover of artillery fire, they began to rush up.

"Made, come up with at least one infantry brigade."

Chen Zhenping quickly saw the strength of at least one infantry brigade of the Devils. They launched a scattered attack formation in the form of small groups, and followed within 50 meters from the bombing point of their own artillery.

"Infantry coordination, don't be afraid to blow up your own people."

Chen Zhenping's eyes suddenly became solemn when he saw the devil's coordinated attack tactics with infantry and artillery as soon as he came up.

"Battalion Commander, there is also a devil's infantry brigade in the direction of Xiaobei Mountain, launching a simultaneous attack, and it is also a coordinated attack by infantry!"

At this time, the battalion staff officer who had just spoken to Chen Zhenping pointed in the direction of Xiaobei Mountain and exclaimed.

"It's time to attack Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain at the same time!"

Chen Zhenping said in a concentrated voice: "This old devil, Taro Nagata, has played like this since he first came up.".

"It seems that we should directly divide the troops into one infantry brigade and attack Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain!"

After a pause, Chen Zhenping then ordered: "Order the first company and the second company, get ready.".

"Wait until the devils rush to a position less than 30 meters below the mountainside before they are allowed to fire! Let the artillerymen operating the flying thunder cannons get ready, this time they will eat up the devil troops who come up to test."

The battalion staff officer said with a serious expression, "Yes, battalion commander."
