Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The artillery shells landed on the Qing army's position, and Wu Dameng, the commander of the Yunbao Battalion, instantly understood: With such fierce artillery fire, Lin Ni's bandits must not be probing and attacking!Wu Dameng then ordered: "All enter the trenches and prepare to fight!"

The Qing army soon got into the trenches, and Wu Dameng personally rushed to the first trench to command. At 11:30, the bulldozer tanks of the engineering troops began to approach the first trench. They put sandbags in their bulldozers and wanted to fill up the trench. At this time, one of Wu Dameng's subordinates asked: "My lord, Shouldn't we be shooting?"

Wu Dameng pointed to the bulldozer tank in the distance and said: "Didn't you see that big guy looks very similar to the main artillery tank? It must not be afraid of bullets. Let's just let it come over."

The general said: "But you see that it carries a lot of sandbags. If it puts the sandbags in the trench, won't the trench be filled up? As soon as the trench is leveled, the main artillery tank will come, and the main artillery tank will come to us How to resist?"

Wu Dameng laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plan."

The general looked at Wu Dameng blankly, and Wu Dameng smiled and said, "You will understand after a while." At this moment, a loud noise was heard in front of him, and the general looked up, and a burst of black smoke came from the main cannon. The big thing came out from under the chariot, and the big thing stopped on the spot immediately. The general asked Wu Dameng in surprise: "My lord, this is..."

Wu Dameng laughed and said, "Landmines, we used landmines!"

The general said in surprise: "When did your lord let someone plant the mines, but your subordinates don't even know."

Wu Dameng laughed and said: "Lin Ni's bandit soldiers are very powerful. If they didn't plant mines skillfully, they would have spotted them. So we all planted mines at night when Lin Ni's bandits were unprepared. It’s quite ingenious, first pick up the turf on the ground intact, and then put it back after the mines are buried, it’s not obvious from the outside!” The general praised repeatedly after hearing this.

Gu Hong, the brigade commander of the 25th Brigade, was also shocked by the explosion. Gu Hong called the reconnaissance company commander and reprimanded him: "Didn't you say that there are no landmines? What's going on here? Where did the explosion come from?"

The reconnaissance company commander said with a face of shame: "According to our reconnaissance, there are indeed no traces of landmines on the ground."

Gu Hong said angrily: "You have been deceived by others, understand? Forget it, don't talk about it, you go back first." The reconnaissance company commander went out helplessly, Gu Hong said to the messenger: "immediately transfer the engineering barracks, Clear the mines and put the tanks aside."

The engineer battalion didn't rush over from behind the position until twelve o'clock, and then entered the minefield. The engineers' detection method was very special. Instead of standing on the ground to sweep mines, they lay down on the ground and used metal detectors in their hands to detect. Seeing this, Gu Hong thought to himself: "Although this method of mine clearance is slow, it can reduce casualties. Let them use this method to clear mines."

At 12:30, Cao Zheng asked Gu Hong on the radio: "Where did your troops attack?"

Gu Hong said: "We haven't broken through the first trench of the Clouded Leopard Battalion yet, we found..."

Cao Zheng didn't listen to Gu Hong's explanation, and shouted directly on the radio: "Can you fight? If you can't fight, just say so, I'll go to another brigade!" Cao Zheng turned off the radio after he finished speaking, and Gu Hong's His face turned red all of a sudden, Cao Zheng spoke so loudly that all the radio operators in the room heard him, they all stopped what they were doing, and stared at Gu Hong blankly.

The operators of the radio station were all young people, and there were many young girls among them. Gu Hong felt that he had no place to lose face, and angrily shouted at the messenger: "Call me the commander of the engineer battalion!"

The battalion commander of the engineer battalion came to Gu Hong, and Gu Hong said angrily, "How far is it from the first trench of the Qing army?"

The battalion commander replied tremblingly: "There are still more than 700 meters."

Gu Hong said: "Speed ​​up the minesweeping speed immediately, do you understand?"

The battalion commander replied: "If we speed up mine clearance, our engineers must stand up and clear mines. According to the technical specifications of mine clearance in front of enemy formations, we should adopt a prone position in front of enemy formations..."

Gu Hong said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense to me. Rules are dead, but people are alive. The range of the enemy's rifles is not 700 meters. What are you afraid of? Stand up and clear the mines for me! Use the shortest Time has created a minefield! Let me tell you plainly, just now the teacher gave me a hard scolding, and if the teacher scolded me, I had no choice but to scold you. If you don’t want to be scolded, just open a passage for me!"

The battalion commander replied loudly: "I understand!" The battalion commander went back. Gu Hong raised his binoculars and watched the actions of the engineers. He saw that the engineers stood up one after another, and the speed of mine clearance was obviously much faster. Gu Hong thought to himself: "This time we can break through to the front of the position as soon as possible."

At this moment, he heard a burst of fierce gunshots from the Qing army's position. Gu Hong secretly laughed in his heart: "With the range of your guns, how could it be possible to hit our engineers?" But what surprised him was: the engineers were knocked down. A large area was covered, and the engineers who were not shot hurriedly hid behind the tank.

Gu Hong hurriedly used the radio to ask the commander of the tank battalion: "What's going on? How did the engineers get knocked down? What guns did the Qing army use?"

The battalion commander of the tank battalion said: "Our people have already seen clearly that the Qing army is using the Maxim machine gun!"

Gu Hong turned his head and gave the reconnaissance company commander a hard look, and then said to the tank battalion commander on the radio: "Our early reconnaissance didn't find any heavy machine gun firepower?"

The commander of the tank battalion replied: "The Qing army did not put the heavy machine guns on the positions, but put the heavy machine guns in a small cart. Go back, it was just like this, they fired for a while and then hid!"

Gu Hong said: "Use machine guns to suppress their firepower immediately, and at the same time order the engineers to continue mine clearance!" Gu Hong put down the microphone, turned around and scolded the reconnaissance company commander, who bowed his head and said nothing, Gu Hong finished the reprimand The reconnaissance company commander still felt uncomfortable, because first the mines, then the heavy machine guns, the Qing army had the upper hand both times!

While in the Qing army, Wu Dameng was complacently enjoying the flattery of his subordinates. At this moment, he found that the engineers who had just been hit by bullets and hid had come out again and continued to detect landmines on the ground, so he said to his subordinates: Push out the machine gun and hit those engineers, be careful, don't get hit by Lin Ni bandits."

Several soldiers then pushed the Maxim heavy machine gun to the east. There was a mechanism on the trolley, which could lift the heavy machine gun above the trench and shoot outside the trench. When a soldier pressed the trigger, the Maxim heavy machine gun would be fired. Protruding from the trench, the gunshot rang out, and more than a dozen engineers were hit by bullets and died on the spot.

At this time, a tank also spotted the soldiers, and the commander immediately manipulated the heavy machine gun on the tank to shoot at the Qing soldiers, but the Qing soldiers reacted quickly, and as soon as they pressed the button, they hid the machine gun in the trench , People also hid in the trenches, and the bullets flew over the trenches "swish".

Wu Dameng was overjoyed when he saw this, and said: "It turns out that Lin Ni's bandits are nothing more than that. Come here, and all twelve heavy machine guns will be dispatched to kill all of Lin Ni's engineers!"
