Age of Rebirth

Chapter 250: Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain ([-])

After receiving the order, Zhao Dengyu felt a warm current in his heart. Deputy Commander Liu is really a caring person, and he put himself in the shoes of the [-]th Brigade.

He assigned the regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness to the brigade's machine gun battalion and the brigade's guard battalion to form a reinforced regiment. From this batch of weapons, he selected ten mortars, six heavy machine guns, and twenty Czech Type light machine gun, with a full amount of medicine, which is three times the amount of medicine carried by the 29th Army's daily individual soldier.

As a professional soldier, he knew very well that fighting in positional warfare was the most costly drug. In addition, he specially asked the soldiers to bring more grenades and grenades. Sometimes, these things are more useful than anything else.

When Zhao Dengyu pulled the troops up, the Independent First Brigade had already built a position at the front, and four regiments were deployed at the same time on the front line. When he saw Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang, Zhao Dengyu was surprised again. [

Why are the senior officers of the Independent Division all so young? The deputy commander is nothing more than a legend. The two in front of me are both major generals, and they will never be younger than 30 years old. In comparison, I am a big brother , In the 29th Army, I am still a young man.

No matter how young you are, the rank is right there, Zhao Dengyu immediately stood at attention, with a standard military salute: "Report to Chief of Staff Feng, the 29th Brigade of the [-]th Army has been ordered to arrive, and ask for instructions, brigade commander Zhao Dengyu."

Feng Jiwu was not too polite. The military situation was urgent. More than 2 bandits and more than 600 Japanese troops were already watching them like wolves.

According to the plan, the four regiments of all the troops of the Independent First Brigade will form two blocking lines of defense, and each line of defense will be equipped with two regiments in order to increase the depth of defense. troops, as a strategic reserve.

Now that the [-]th Brigade has come up, Feng Jiwu has a lot of troops on hand. He is going to use Zhao Dengyu's troops as a reserve team. The two regiments of the Cavalry Brigade will guard the two wings of the main defensive position respectively to prevent bandit troops. Threat to the security of troops.

In doing so, it is also considering that the troops of the 29th Army have a certain gap with the troops of the independent division in terms of overall quality. This kind of positional defense battle will test the courage of the troops the most. Facing the turbulent attacking troops, the volcanic eruption Like artillery fire, one step cannot retreat.

This is not the purpose of Zhao Dengyu's request to join the war. He told Feng Jiwu his thoughts without reservation. Everyone is a soldier. If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to beat around the bush. The [-]th Brigade is here to fight. , I don't want to be protected like a child.

Feng Jiwu thought about it, and agreed to Zhao Dengyu's request, and arranged the [-]th Brigade on the right wing of the defense line, and defended with the [-]rd Regiment of the Independent [-]st Brigade. It happened that the [-]th Regiment was tired of escorting weapons and medicines, so it was replaced as the general reserve team.

Zhao Dengyu pulled the troops into position and entered the fortifications that had been dug by the Fourth Regiment of the Unique Brigade. He was dumbfounded when he saw the defensive position built by the Independent Division. He also understood why the senior commander of the Independent Division used the [-]th Brigade as a reserve team reason.

This kind of defensive position was something he had never seen before. There were three lines of defense in the front and back, and they were lower in the front and higher in the back. One line was 1.5 meters higher than the other. The distance between them is completely open, which forces the attacking side to continuously attack artificial obstacles one after another, which not only slows down the attack speed, but also suffers a large number of casualties from the defenders when passing through the open ground.

There are many curved communication trenches between the fortifications, which are convenient for sending troops to each line of defense, or replenishing medicine, and can protect soldiers from the firepower of the attacking side. Moreover, the second and third lines of defense can be Provide effective fire support to the first line of defense.

Firepower points and artillery holes are all available. What surprised Zhao Dengyu was that Brigadier Li actually deployed mortars on the second line of defense. According to the usual practice, mortars can provide fire support or artillery fire suppression, and should be attached to the In the rear of the position, such an arrangement was unheard of.

How did the independent division build such a complete fortification in such a short period of time? He couldn't help asking like the commander of the third regiment who was next to him. When the little devil was fighting, he often used this defensive method, and it was very effective. Brigadier Zhao, just take care of it!

During our daily training, our independent division regards soil work as a main training subject. According to the terrain and soil quality, how can we build the best defensive position in the shortest time? The officers were worried and knew what to do. Zhao Dengyu felt that there was a mysterious energy in the independent division.

Zhao Dengyu had no choice but to deploy the mortars of the machine gun battalion on the second line of defense according to the defense method of the independent division. The troops had just been deployed, and the bandits all over the mountains and plains, with torches, rushed up like a tide.

The bandits fired while running, yelling loudly, the momentum was astonishing, and the bullets flew past the soldiers' heads. Seeing that the bandits were getting closer, they still didn't receive the order to shoot. The soldiers were so nervous that they couldn't breathe. They had never seen such a battle. The enemy was almost rushing in front of them, and they refused to shoot.

Two red signals rose slowly in the night sky, and the defensive position of the Independent Division was activated in an instant. Hundreds of mortars in the second line of defense started shelling at the same time, like raindrops, dragging dark red tail flames, Drawing a graceful arc, it landed in the charge of the bandits.

Zhao Dengyu couldn't understand it. When the battle started, the first line of defense should be the first to open fire. There is no reason why they didn't fight in the front, but wanted to fight in the back.

Moreover, there is also a problem with the landing point of the cannon. It is not to stop the bandits from charging, but to speed up the charge as if to drive the bandits. scattered. [

The dense artillery fire formed a wall of fire behind the bandits who charged in the first wave, completely isolating the bandits who charged in the first wave from the follow-up troops. In the dark of night, the flames of the explosion soared into the sky, and there were piles of bandits were blown into the sky.

The bandits charging in front were still secretly happy, saying that the independent division was powerful. Looking at it like this, it’s not a big deal. The cannon hit the head, and they all fell behind. Those who are afraid of death and dare not charge are unlucky and want to save their lives. Unexpectedly, he was fired for us.

The bandits were less than 100 meters away from the first line of defense. There were more than 3000 bandits rushing up. At this time, Zhao Dengyu understood a little bit, and his heart trembled. The follow-up troops blocked the bandits, so that the bandits could not form a continuous attack wave. This is to keep these more than 3000 bandits here, which is a big deal.

When the bandits were more than 3000 meters away from the first fortification, the silent fortification suddenly broke out, like a whirlwind blowing on the ground, like a torrential rain, drowning more than [-] bandits in an instant.

The howling of the light and heavy machine guns sent a series of wounding and killing bullets into the bandits' bodies. In the night, the flames from the muzzles of the guns were one foot long, like the sickle of death, harvesting the sinful lives.

The strange thing is that the third line of defense has not yet opened fire. With such a short distance and such intensive firepower, more than half of the more than 3000 bandits were killed on the spot. The rest were suppressed by firepower and used the corpses of their accomplices as cover. Lying tightly on the ground, not daring to move, the soldiers' grenades would not let them go, and from time to time, bandits lying on the ground were blown to pieces by the grenades.

These bandits have the heart to cry, they are so fucking shameful, these soldiers are trained by someone, at such a close distance, they are going to fight us to death, they don’t fight like this, they don’t even have a chance to return their phones If you don't give it, I don't accept it!

Feng Jiwu, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield in the hidden department, was attracted by a strange phenomenon through the telescope. Through the smoke of the gun explosion, the thousands of people following the large group of bandits could be seen as trained regular troops. Their tactics The movements are very skillful, and the formation remains stable.

These guys did not charge with the large group of bandits, but stayed outside the range of artillery fire to build positions. There were also more than 30 Type [-] infantry artillery and mountain artillery, with their muzzles raised, pointing at the defensive positions of the Independent Division , A group of people were busy there, looking like they were preparing for shelling.

This group of guys, couldn't they be the devil's unit that the teacher informed, right?They built the artillery position at the front, and they were not afraid that when the bandits charged, the artillery would accidentally injure their own people?Devil officer, wouldn't you be so ignorant of military common sense?

Feng Jiwu shuddered suddenly. He fully understood that the Devil Artillery took advantage of the fact that the troops and the bandits were mixing together and the soldiers were all in their positions. With the maximum damage, the little devil is really vicious, and came up with such an inhumane trick.

He hurriedly ordered the correspondent to notify all the troops on the first and second lines of defense to immediately withdraw to the third line of defense without hesitation and resolutely execute the order.

Later, he ordered the mountain artillery and field artillery to pay attention to observe the position of the devil's artillery position. Once determined, he would immediately destroy it with intensive artillery fire, and never allow the devil's artillery to have a second chance to fire.

After giving the order, he nervously observed the movement of the troops. Zhao Dengyu, who was very puzzled, and the officers and soldiers of the 1000th Brigade reluctantly withdrew from the position. In 10 minutes, they were all wiped out at the front of the position. What order to evacuate at this moment?

A counter-charge, these bandits are all over. The independent division fights like this, showing evil ways. I don't know how they fought the Japanese for several years in the Northeast?Looking at the troops of the Independent Division, armed with light and heavy weapons, they ordered them to evacuate quickly and quickly without hesitation. Zhao Dengyu knew that the military orders were overwhelming.

Zhao Dengyu, who had retreated to the third fortification, grabbed the phone and challenged Feng Jiwu directly.
