Chapter 885: The Devil Attacks the 336th Brigade
When Zhao Wenyao saw Li Hong fighting with enemy planes, he quickly put down the binoculars in his hand and rushed to the air defense position.
Li Hong is a noble person he invited, and Zhao Wenyao can't let Li Hong have any accidents on the battlefield.
The devil planes in the sky were scattered in all directions, and the enemy planes were simply unable to break through to the air defense positions in the face of powerful firepower.
Li Hong held up an antiaircraft machine gun with his bare arms, frequently moved the muzzle of the machine gun, and fired fiercely at the enemy planes in the air.
The soldiers around them saw that Li Hong was so desperate to fight, and they did not have any fear of flinching, and let the bullets of enemy planes fly around them.
In the end, the group of imps was scattered, and the enemy aircraft abandoned the strike on the ground air defense forces.
Li Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the little devil plane leave.
At this time, Zhao Wenyao hurriedly ran over with the guards.
"Regiment Commander Li set an example for the officers and men of our 336 Brigade and sacrificed his life to fight against enemy planes, what a hero!"
Li Hong put down the anti-aircraft machine gun in his hand and looked at Zhao Wenyao who was walking over.
"Brigade Commander Zhao, I'm sorry, the situation was urgent just now, so I gave the order to take these brothers into battle and fight fiercely with the devil plane!"
Li Hong hugged his fist to the other party and said apologetically.
After all, this is the position of the 336 Brigade, and Li Hong gives orders to the officers and soldiers of the 336 Brigade to direct the battle, which is a bit overstepping.
Of course, Zhao Wenyao is not a small person, and besides, the officers and soldiers successfully defeated the enemy aircraft group under the leadership of Li Hong.
Zhao Wenyao smiled disappreciatively and said, "It's okay, Commander Li, you and I are joining forces to resist the Japanese invaders, and you command my subordinates to defeat the enemy planes, I should thank you." ”
As they spoke, they walked in the direction of the command post.
The enemy planes only feigned withdrawal, and the devil pilots did not give up bombing the positions of the 336 brigade.
Instead, seven or eight devil bombers turned back, and the group of planes hovered outside the anti-aircraft fire network and began to bombard the ground positions in succession.
Because the enemy planes were afraid of the air defense units of the 336 Brigade, they could only bomb the periphery of their positions.
The first to be bombed by aircraft was the forward position of the 336 Brigade, and soon the artillery units of the devils also launched an artillery bombardment.
"Artillery attack !!"
"Artillery attack, duck and chicken give !!"
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom......"
The explosions of the devil's artillery position in the distance rose and fell.
Then, the devil's bombers threw bombs all over the position.
"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane......"
Dense artillery and bomb sounds mingled.
The enemy's fire was very fierce, and in an instant, the forward positions of the 336th Brigade were filled with artillery fire and became a sea of fire.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The explosion sounded violently, and the sand, gravel and dirt on the position were blown up in all directions.
At this time, Li Hong and Zhao Wenyao were exchanging tactics at the front-line command post, and their command post was almost collapsed by the devil's artillery fire.
The command post staggered, and large swaths of gravel and dirt fell on the table.
"The little devil of the dog day has such a fierce firepower!"
Zhao Wenyao patted the dirt on his body, quickly got up from the ground, and scolded angrily.
The enemy's fire was indeed too fierce, there were bombers in the air, artillery on the ground suppressed, and the front-line positions were as if there was an earthquake.
Li Hong stumbled a few steps inside the command post, and he almost fell to the ground, so you can imagine how fierce the enemy's fire was.
Even if Li Hong could not go to the command post, with the judgment of battlefield experience, he could roughly guess the caliber of the enemy's artillery fire and the number of artillery.
The little devil used a Type 96 150mm howitzer, and the number of artillery pieces was at least a dozen.
Not only that, but there seemed to be quite a few 105-mm shells in the rain of flying shells.
After a while, the telephone rang in the command post.
The call was made by the forward troops of the 336 Brigade.
Zhao Wenyao hurriedly picked up the phone to answer, and there was a rough sound with impurities on the other side of the phone.
"Report to the brigade seat, the Japanese army launched a heavy artillery bombardment on our forward positions, the Japanese army used sulfur bombs, and poison gas bombs, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties......
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Zhao Wenyao was annoyed and angry and scolded the despicable and cruel little devil with all kinds of foul language.
Although Zhao Wenyao was very annoyed and angry, the Japanese army's weapons and equipment were stronger than the national army, and it was useless for him to be in a hurry.
"These despicable little devils really want to fight face-to-face with these enemies...... Zhao Wenyao said helplessly, he felt unrealistic.
The heavy firepower and equipment of the Japanese army far exceeded that of most units of the Nationalist army, and the enemy would not be stupid enough to give up the advantage of heavy weapons to fight the opponent face to face.
The weapons and equipment of the little devils are indeed very advanced and powerful compared to the Chinese army.
On the battlefield, if the Chinese army and the Japanese army want to reduce the casualty rate, they will try their best to fight with the little devils with bayonets.
However, even the bayonet Chinese army was no match for the Japanese soldiers, but the casualty ratio between the two sides would not be much worse.
Although the officers and men of the 336th Brigade were equipped with some gas masks with the help of the security regiment, not every soldier could be distributed.
A unit is at a disadvantage in weaponry, and it can only be filled with human lives.
Li Hong picked up the binoculars and walked to the door of the command post to observe the situation at the forward position.
The forward position became a battlefield full of artillery fire, and the devils concentrated a large amount of artillery fire to bombard, and the position was completely covered by gunpowder smoke and firelight.
Dense shells flew over continuously, and the caliber of the devil's shells was larger and larger in waves.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The explosion of shells resounded all around.
The devil's artillery fire was so fierce that the 336 officers and soldiers on the forward position did not dare to come out at all because of the devil's intensive artillery fire.
The officers and soldiers hid in the fortifications of the position, under the shelling of the little devils.
In addition to the enemy's artillery attack, there are also little devil bombers in the air from time to time throwing aerial bombs down.
Among the aerial bombs are various types of ammunition, incendiary bombs, poison gas bombs, and anti-personnel bombs.
Under the double fire of the little devils, the defensive positions of the 336 Brigade could not withstand the enemy's fire at all.
"Ahh......h
The bunker fortifications on the position were destroyed by enemy fire, and the soldiers under the fortifications were blown out on the spot.
There were also quite a few fortifications on the positions, which collapsed, and the soldiers were buried under the fortifications.
In the distance, shells flew like locusts, and the shells carpeted the ground.
All kinds of ammunition were intertwined, shrapnel raged everywhere, and the flames of incendiary bombs spread to all corners.
In particular, the poison gas bombs of the little devils were mixed with the smoke of the explosion, which made the officers and men of the national army on the position unable to guard against it.
Everyone knows the terrible poison gas, which can be said to be pervasive, and when it encounters the wind, it will drift everywhere and spread to the entire forward position.
