Chapter 337 Turtle Shell

Willow Camel.

This is an area north of Hebei.

The areas around here are high mountains and narrow roads, steep terrain, difficult to walk, and large-scale manpower cannot pass through. Only here, the terrain is relatively flat, and there are several roads that can pass through the valleys. It is an area nearby that can sustain large troops. , Therefore, this is a place that military strategists must contend for, and it is also a place where the base area must pass through for counterattacks.

Only after occupying this place, the follow-up troops will have logistical supply channels, and the base area can launch attacks outward.

The devils are naturally aware of this situation. Faced with the sudden emergence of the Eighth Route Army from the base area, the devils here have deployed and operated for a full year, centered on four core forts, surrounded by dark forts, trenches, bunkers, and artillery holes.

Turn the whole willow camel into a huge fortress, a bunker clad in a thick turtle shell.

The fortress is equipped with dozens of 150mm cannons and more than 100 105mm and 75mm mountain guns with extremely strong firepower.In addition, there are eight 240mm heavy guns specially dispatched from the rear.

The devils stationed here are a permanent division and more than 5 people. At the same time, they store a large amount of materials in four large bunkers, which can maintain the materials used by 5 people for a year.

It was the famous Fifth Division before.

There are reinforcements from four divisions behind.

A full 20 troops are stationed here.

The new division head, lieutenant general, was very high-spirited and boasted at the headquarters that within a year, the Eighth Route Army would never break through this line of defense, and would even be beaten to death at this line of defense.

Even if the opponent uses an army of 100 million to attack, it is absolutely impossible to break through.

Of course, the devil has confidence in saying this.

The four main fortresses are divided into four corners. Each fort is equipped with ten 150-caliber heavy guns, two 240mm heavy guns, and a large number of light-caliber mountain guns. The internal ammunition reserves are full, and the underground is almost hollowed out. Spreading along a large area around, there are also concrete walls and underground fortifications, which prevent the possibility of attacking from deep underground trenches.Its outer layer has a reinforced concrete structure, the concrete layer is more than one meter thick, and the outer layer is also more than one meter thick soil layer. Even if a 155 artillery shell hits the edge of the fortress, it can at most scratch the skin.

Hundreds of small forts spread out layer by layer along the four main fortresses, buried deep in the ground, with only a few spikes exposed. The devils have tested it, not to mention the 120 mortars commonly equipped by the Eighth Route Army, even their latest 155 howitzers, unless Hit multiple times, otherwise you can't break the bunker.

Moreover, each bunker has at least two [-]-type heavy machine guns inside, and some are even equipped with [-]-type infantry guns. Each bunker is connected by an underground passage, which can evacuate support in time, and there are also telephone lines to maintain communication. support to the maximum extent possible.

Then there are tunnels and trenches, almost running through the trench tunnel of Willow Camel.

And this is the confidence of the head of the devil division.

The first day of the Eighth Route Army's offensive.

The offensive force is a regiment with a total of more than 1 troops.

The opening artillery battalion bombarded with heavy mortars, followed by 105 howitzers for roll call, and finally a battalion of more than 1000 infantrymen launched an attack.The first wave of attack was exactly as the devils predicted, the Eighth Route Army was hit badly.

Subsequently, facing the devil's fortress exposed by the first wave of attack, the artillery battalion destroyed it with fixed-point artillery fire, and then continued to launch the attack, but the attack lasted for five hours. With the desperate support of the heavy artillery battalion, not to mention the heavy damage, even a fort was knocked down.

It's just that a few small civil bunkers along the edge have been broken.

The devil's fortress was set up extremely ingeniously, with horns forming a dense firepower net. Even if the infantry charged and leaped forward in waves, they could not break through the firepower net and approach the fortress.In the last attack, a company finally got close to the fortress, but the devil's fortress used a lot of materials this time, and it was built very tightly, so it was difficult to blow it up in a short time. heavy.

At night, the attacking regiment leader was unconvinced and prepared several tons of black sorkin, and then took advantage of the night cover to launch a night attack, but the devils were taught by the Eighth Route Army many times at night, and how many devils were stabbed to death by bayonets at night. There are plenty of weapons and equipment, but that's why they have been prepared.

Fire piles, flares, searchlights, preset firepower points... After a set of greetings, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army were even greater than during the day.But the night is still a little more rewarding than the day. A small fortress, the main force of the devils, was directly evaporated by several tons of explosives.

At this point, the first day of fighting ended, and the result was cruel. The Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses and retreated desperately.

The complexity of the battlefield makes it difficult to accurately count casualties, especially the local losses, but the devils themselves lost only more than 300 people, and the proportion of deaths is relatively large, with 200 people, most of whom were killed by five tons of black gold in the night attack According to speculation, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army were no less than [-], and the casualties may be close to [-].It might not be exact, but it's not too far off.

That night, the devil lieutenant general who learned the final news was in a happy mood and drank three glasses of wine happily.

So far, the first attack is over.

The second attack began three days later.

This time, two regiments attacked, the regiment that failed in the first attack and a helper regiment, totaling more than 2 people.

This time, both sides have learned a lesson. The Eighth Route Army asked the division headquarters for 155 heavy artillery, and began to bombard the previously exposed fortress. At the same time, through detailed observation of the devils as a whole, they studied the firepower of the devils, and mobilized a lot of smoke from the rear. Bomb, ready to cover the devil's firepower when attacking.

And the devils were taken aback by the large scale of the Eighth Route Army's first attack. Five tons of explosives and the terrifying power of a small fortress evaporated made the devils have to strengthen the firepower of the front fortress and surrounding areas.

After an hour and a half of firepower preparation, after suppressing the firepower of the small fortress, the Eighth Route Army officially began to attack. As soon as it made contact, a smoke shell was fired, covering the devil's bunker, and then the infantry attacked.

Faced with the smoke obscuring their sight, the devil responded in time, opened up a large number of machine gun firepower points, increased the firepower, launched infantry artillery and mountain artillery from the rear artillery hole, and fiercely bombarded the attacking troops.

Seeing the enemy's artillery appearing, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was naturally not to be outdone. A burst of artillery shells greeted them, but the devils also knew that this is not the time of the year. The Eighth Route Army is here, so the devil's artillery is hiding in the pre-dug bunkers or holes. If there is a chance to retreat, there will be a burst of shelling, and then retreat immediately to avoid being destroyed by counterattack artillery fire.

Being counterattacked by the condescending artillery firepower, the ground attacking troops were naturally forced to slow down. In the end, the battle turned into an artillery battle. in hiding.

But the devils occupy the terrain, and the artillery is very mobile. The Eighth Route Army's counterattack artillery fire only suppressed the devil's artillery. Coupled with the large number and reasonable arrangement of machine gun fire, even with the support of heavy artillery, their own artillery fire was severely suppressed. The first wave of the attack still ended in failure.

However, there is still progress. First, the casualties are much less than the first time. After all, with the cover of smoke bombs, although the smoke affects both sides, the devils obviously have a greater impact.So in this attack, the devil's two fortresses were successfully blown up. Facing tons of explosives, even the heavy artillery that could resist the 155 grenade was powerless.

In response to that sentence, as long as the equivalent is sufficient, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

However, in this attack, the casualties are still not to be underestimated. In terms of proportion, they are much less, but because the attacking troops are more than the first time, in fact, the casualties are still not small. The two regiments suffered over a thousand casualties, most of them due to Devil artillery and machine gun fire.

If it doesn’t work during the day, then continue at night, but this time, the ending is the same. The devils used the pre-dug bunker holes, a small amount of artillery fire guerrilla warfare, and a large number of solid bunkers to easily resist the Eighth Route Army’s attack. The price of a small fort.

So far, the second attack failed, and the devils lost a little more than the first time, but they were limited. The devils learned their lesson and did not pile up too many devils in one fortress. The actual casualties of the Eighth Route Army were close to [-].

Upon hearing the news, Lieutenant General Guizi once again drank to celebrate, waving his samurai sword and howling loudly, thinking that the Eighth Route Army was nothing more than that, he was as happy as a lunatic.

It was also after these two attacks that the Eighth Route Army really paid attention to this area and began to take it seriously.The order changed, instead of asking to break through here quickly, but to test and attack.

The third attack began ten days later.

The two regiments that took a short rest and the 155th Heavy Artillery Battalion came again, this time the two regiments came prepared.

At the beginning of the game, the devil lieutenant general who had been observing the battle suddenly frowned.

This time the Eighth Route Army still started with bombardment. There was a burst of random bombardment, and it was free to protrude a shell. At the same time, it sent infantry to dig in and dig tunnels along the ground to face the devils' bunkers.

Seeing this situation, the devils immediately started shelling, but the effect was limited. The deep trenches could effectively cover the power of the shells. Unless they directly hit the inside of the trenches, it would be difficult to hurt the Eighth Route Army inside.

Moreover, the artillery fire will be suppressed by the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

As for the firepower of the machine gun, the bullets are useless due to the bend of the trench, so the devils had to use mortars and grenades to suppress them. However, when these light weapons fired, they inevitably exposed themselves, and light firepower has always been It is the world of the Eighth Route Army.

Large-caliber heavy machine guns and heavy-duty mortars hit the devils in bursts. Even though the devils' light firepower was protected by bunkers, they still suffered a lot of damage.The excavation was still advancing slowly. After several fortresses were breached, the devil finally had no choice but to dispatch infantry to charge and drive the frontline attacking troops back.

With the advantage of firepower and the support of the firepower of the fortress, the devils naturally won the infantry hand-to-hand combat in the end, but they suffered heavy losses. Under the attack of large-caliber heavy machine guns, the death rate of the devils was higher than that of the Eighth Route Army for the first time.

Moreover, the fortresses were pulled down one by one.

Seeing this, the lieutenant general was angry and opened the cover. Four large fortresses, dozens of heavy artillery pieces, and four 240-caliber cannons fired together. Caught off guard, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army suffered great losses. Concrete cover and shelling counterattack almost did no harm to the devils.

Originally, the Eighth Route Army thought it was just an ordinary fortress for the devils, and they were still a big fish before they arrived. They were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The two regiments suffered 3000 casualties.

Helpless, the two regiments could only retreat.

In three consecutive attacks, more than 8000 people were lost, of which nearly [-] were killed, and most of them were wounded by the devil's heavy artillery at the end.

Looking at the retreating Eighth Route Army, General Guizi had mixed feelings this time.

The happy thing is that the Eighth Route Army was repulsed again, and the casualties were not small, but the sad thing is that this time, the imperial army also suffered a lot of damage. Dozens of forts were blown up, and a quarter of the forts were evaporated , At the same time, there were more than 3000 casualties of soldiers, more than half of them were killed.

After only ten days of defense, the Fifth Division lost nearly one-sixth of its troops.As well as the handwriting of the Eighth Route Army, this made Lieutenant General Guizi feel a little bad. He felt that the seaport under his crotch might be bad.

This 50-year-old devil lieutenant general has been fighting for decades, and this is the first time he has seen dozens of tons of explosives stuffed into the front line, and then the fortress was blown up tens of meters away... After a battle , he estimated that the other party used at least nearly a thousand tons of explosives.

If the enemy makes great efforts to push all the way to his big fortress, and then piles up hundreds of tons of explosives and explodes underground, then his bunker may really not be able to hold it...
After all, in a solid bunker, it is also connected to the ground.

Although the core big fort was designed with the enemy's underground excavation attack in mind at the beginning, there are walls around it, and there are secret passages and ambush fire points inside, as many enemies come in as they die.

But who the hell would have expected that the enemy would be so ruthless that a large amount of explosives would directly shake the ground, and the earthquake attack would be okay.

However, after defeating this way, Lieutenant General Guizi still has confidence. Even if he is finally breached here, the Eighth Route Army will definitely suffer a huge loss, because the concrete with a thickness of several meters can defend against all heavy firepower, and the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army can only scratch off a little bit of skin .

With the support of the fort's heavy artillery, and the underground passages of trenches connected everywhere, it is not so easy to carry out excavation and blasting.

The general estimated that he could cause the Eighth Route Army to lose hundreds of thousands of troops here and waste a lot of supplies.

It's just that the devil's lieutenant general obviously didn't think about what kind of enemy he was facing.
