Chapter 484: Frontal Assault
Seeing this, Feng Yuxiang was surprised and said, "Where is the little devil singing?" Three cats and two dogs, just want to take down our heavily garrisoned fortress? ”
Zhong Yi said: "Boss, haven't you seen a few devils carrying explosives bags on their backs?" ”
Feng Yuxiang looked at it in a hurry, and really saw a few devils carrying explosive bags on their backs.
At that moment, Feng Yuxiang said: "I understand, the little devil wants to carry out the blasting!" ”
"Blast!" Zhu Liangcheng said coldly, "This is wishful thinking, let's not talk about whether the little devil has the ability to send the explosives package to our bunker, even if it is sent to the bunker, it can't blow up the bunker!" ”
Zhong Yi said: "But this at least proves that the little devil no longer fantasizes about taking Hankou through a surprise attack!" ”
After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "The next step is most likely to be a frontal attack!" But don't take it lightly, you still have to set aside some heavy machine guns, and use the shooting method to specifically block the exit of the eight pits, beware of the devils taking advantage of my unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack from these eight pits again! Of course, the Turtle Mountain Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress will also implement strict monitoring of the little devils, and if necessary, the artillery groups of the two fortresses will provide support at any time! ”
"Understood!" Zhu Liangcheng and the other four brigade commanders nodded in unison.
"Headquarters!" Zhong Yi said to Feng Yuxiang again, "Then let's go back?" ”
"Okay, let's go back!" Feng Yuxiang nodded happily when he heard this.
……
Zhu Liangcheng sent Feng Yuxiang, Zhong Yi, Liu Yuanlin, Shi Zude, and Erzi away one after another, and when he returned to the second floor of the main bunker, the little devil's attack routine changed again!
Seeing that the demolition team was never able to get close to the outer fort, the devil artillery began to fire smoke bombs!
With the fall of hundreds of smoke bombs, the bunkers of the railway station immediately fell into smoke, and the field of view of the machine guns was greatly affected, and only blind fire could be carried out!
The devil took the opportunity to dispatch more than a dozen demolition teams, took over the explosives bags of the dead team and continued to carry out the blasting.
But this is still in vain, because as early as the beginning of the design, Zhong Yi's uncle Zhang Yuandong had already anticipated this and made targeted deployments in advance!
Zhang Yuandong's targeted deployment is that each bunker can protect each other!
The so-called mutual protection means that when accurate shooting is not possible, the flank bunkers implement a fire blockade to ensure that the devil demoman cannot get close!
For example, in the No. 1 main bunker, when the No. 1 main bunker is shrouded in smoke and the machine gunner is completely blind, the side-firing machine guns of the No. 2 main bunker and the No. 3 main bunker can form a tight crossfire in front of the No. 1 main bunker.
Another example is the No. 11 sub-fort of the No. 1 main pillbox, which can even be closely protected by the side-firing machine guns of the No. 1 main bunker and the No. 12, 13, and 14 sub-bunkers at the same time!
A few minutes later, when the smoke screen shrouded the position dispersed, I saw that the dozen or so little devils who attacked in the second wave had also fallen in a pool of blood and no longer moved!
But soon, the devils launched a third wave of attacks!
The devil's offensive lineup this time is much larger, not only has at least one squad of troops been invested, but there is even a Type 95 light tank to provide cover!
However, the devil's move soon attracted the shelling of the Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain artillery groups!
After being covered by artillery fire, the devil's Type 95 tank was completely destroyed, and an infantry squad that attacked was also blown up, and the remaining dozen devils fled back to the attack position in embarrassment!
However, not long after the third group of devils fled back, the fourth group of little devils attacked again!
Before the fourth wave of devils attacked, the devil artillery fired hundreds of smoke bombs as usual!
Zhu Liangcheng didn't care about it at first, thinking that the devil wanted to use smoke bombs to block his vision, but when the smoke slowly spread, Zhu Liangcheng suddenly found that the white smoke was actually mixed with a light yellow!
A simple smoke screen should be white, and only erosive mustard gas will reveal a light yellow!
Zhu Liangcheng suddenly gasped, and immediately shouted: "All of them, retreat to the basement floor and put on a gas mask before coming up!" Fast! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Liangcheng was the first to rush into the passage!
Zhu Liangcheng's reaction was very fast, but the reaction of the defenders of other bunkers was not so fast!
After all, not everyone has such a high vigilance as Zhu Liangcheng! The fourth attack of the devils, although it still failed to pose a threat to the fortress of Hankou railway station, caused certain casualties!
At least more than 100 officers and soldiers were poisoned, but fortunately, the treatment was timely, and only more than 10 people were killed!
……
The same thing happened with the fortresses on the left and right wings, as well as in the lumbar ribs in the middle!
The little devil's attack was all-round, and there was even a squad of devil infantry who broke through one of the tunnels to the abandoned city wall!
Fortunately, the defenders were prepared and had some heavy machine guns on reserve.
After a surpassing shot, all the devil soldiers of this squad were killed in the tunnel! The corpses of devils in the pit have increased by at least fifty!
……
By five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun went down, the Japanese army finally stopped launching a new round of attacks!
Yoshio Shinozuka did not stay at the observation post on Mt. Toyoshi anymore, but returned to the tent and slept in peace!
Since coming to Hankou, Yoshio Shinozuka hasn't closed his eyes for almost three days and nights, and he's really tired!
So as soon as he closed his eyes, Yoshio Shinozuka slept until the evening, and when he woke up again, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was slowly darkening!
Di Bujia Gui has also returned to the division headquarters from the front-line headquarters!
"How is it today?" Yoshio Shinozuka nibbled on the rice balls and asked if the embankment was expensive.
Di Bujiagui shook his head with a ashamed expression, and said bitterly: "There were more than 500 casualties, but nothing was found!" ”
"Don't be discouraged!" After a good night's sleep, Shinozuka Yoshio's mental state completely recovered, and the whole person regained his previous calmness, and said with a smile, "Compared with the Lushun Fortress Siege back then, the Battle of Hankou in front of me is not a real battle at all!" ”
"Hello!" Di Bugui nodded and said, "But the fortifications of the Chinese army are really complete!" Didn't leave us a chance at all! ”
"You are wrong." Yoshio Shinozuka finished eating a rice ball in two bites, waved his hand and said, "Opportunities are never given by others, but we have to create them ourselves!" ”
"Hello!" Di Bujia nodded for a moment, and said, "I have been taught!" ”
"In this world, there is no fortress that cannot be attacked!" After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued, "Believe me, as long as the imperial army continues to attack, the opportunity will eventually come!" ”
"Hello!" Di Bu Gauton said, "Humble duty understands! ”
