Chapter 1263: A Tragic Battlefield
This is a war to defend the dignity of the motherland, and even if the little devils use cruel means, the soldiers must stand on it. Under the rain of bullets, the soldiers are not afraid, but they know that what they are doing now is greater than their lives, and it is worth their best.
Despite all the preparations, the troops attacking Mukden suffered heavy losses. After all, the Chinese army is the attacking side, and it does not have the strength to crush, so it naturally has to pay the price to be able to eliminate the little devils.
Although the little devils have experienced a winter of torture and exhausted most of their morale, they have been forced to a dead end, and they have no choice, and the last thing they think of is only the fish to die and the net to break.
In order to take Fengtian City, Hu Guoshan has already ordered to fight at any cost, the troops are gone, he went to Liao Fan to ask for guilt, but he can't take Fengtian City, Hu Guoshan is the responsibility of your front-line commander.
The smoke of gunpowder turned the day of Mukden into night, and the sky-high fire pulled the night back to day, and the battle never stopped.
The little devils are crazy, the Chinese army is also crazy, the war has been fought so far, both sides have no other choice, the country is our country, how can we let the alien beasts stand here and continue to do evil?
"Division commander, our troops have not rested for a day and two nights, and if we continue to fight, our troops will be wiped out!"
A regimental commander called the division headquarters, and the troops had been preparing for battle since the previous night, attacking during the day, and by the evening his troops were still at the forefront of the battle, and some companies had already suffered more than half of the casualties.
The troops did not have much advantage for them to attack at night, especially after the daytime battle, the little devils had already raised their spirits and were on alert, and there was no longer the effect of a surprise attack.
Artillery positions were also prepared, bunkers and camouflage measures were arranged, but after dark, they could no longer play a sufficient advantage.
Therefore, the continuous attack at night is not as advantageous as the attack during the day, on the contrary, the casualties have increased, and most of the casualties are no longer because of stabbing or shooting, but after the little devils evacuate an area, they plant explosives and *, and the attacking soldiers cannot find it at night, but increase the casualties.
"Let the troops at the forefront withdraw to this street to set up defenses, and strictly prevent the little devils from sneaking up on us at night." The division commander ordered the troops to suspend the offensive and hold a street they had just captured.
"Division commander, but Commander Hu's order is ......"
"You're the division commander, I'm the division commander? If something happens, I'll stand up to it, and I can't beat Lao Tzu, the division commander, and I'll quit! ”
What kind of superiors there are, what kind of subordinates, Hu Guoshan's subordinates have similar tempers to Lao Hu, they are all short-tempered, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth, they are afraid that their troops will not have the joy of victory after a battle, and they are all mourned!
"Signal soldiers, inform our artillerymen that their artillery shells are open tonight, and if I hear that the artillery is stopping tonight, I will let them all rest!"
The division commander did not let the troops at the forefront tear it down to give the little devils time to breathe, they didn't use infantry, and artillery, they had enough artillery * shells in reserve.
The artillerymen were a little confused when they heard this order, their family background was thick, but firing the cannon all night like this would exhaust people, especially the soldiers who transported the artillery shells would definitely curse God to death. But they also have a way, a shift system.
"There are still six hours until dawn, all the cannons are divided into three groups, each group is two hours, remember not to give me artillery * shells, can the brothers on the front line sacrifice one less, just hold it in your hands."
The artillery has this order, but it is very energetic, in the past, there were artillery and no artillery shells, and they had to save a little bit of fighting, but now they can completely engage in small-scale firepower coverage with one division, and the little devils still want to rest at night, but only at night do they know that their madness during the day has been exchanged for the madness of the Chinese army at night.
Although the firepower possessed by a division is not enough to cover the range of movement of the little devils, the harassment caused to the little devils is enough for them to drink a pot.
"Boom Boom"
At night, the Japanese army did not have the ability to fight back at all, and the artillery of the little devils could not play much role, and their material reserves were a little less, especially the artillery * shells, which were really not enough for them to squander.
However, as soon as the cannon sounds, both sides have benefits, they can listen to the sound, the hit rate of the cannon at night is also very low, it all depends on fate, fate to the cannon * shell falls and does not explode can also kill you, fate is not enough, and it may not be blown up if it falls around.
But the cannon played an obvious harassing role, especially the shells fell on the little devils, who had never been on the battlefield, and they hid in the corner all night shivering, begging the gods of the West and the masters of the East, hoping that they would not be killed.
The veterans of the little devils were more relaxed, and their rich battlefield experience told them that the probability of this kind of artillery shell killing them was very low, but they were destined to not be able to sleep tonight, and it was impossible for people who were idle when the shells fell without being disturbed.
Torture you from the heart first, tomorrow you will fight with dark circles one by one, you can still hold on for a day or two, if you don't sleep for a long time, once you relax, you will inevitably fall asleep or go crazy in the end.
"Give me three days, and I'll have three days." The commander in charge of the main siege of the city reported to Hu Guoshan that they only needed to let the little devil sleep unsteadily for three days.
Hu Guoshan knew very well that the little devil would definitely try his best to rest, and this torture was not enough to torture the little devil crazy, after all, soon the little devil knew that these things would only harass them and would not kill them.
"I'll give you two days, but there can be no slack in the attack during the day during these two days, and there are still many troops sitting on the cold bench behind!"
Hu Guoshan's low-handed troops are enough, and there are still many troops who have not been on the battlefield at all.
The army commander also understood that he did not have the capital to negotiate conditions with Hu Guoshan, even if he was a military commander, but in front of his superiors, all he could do was to obey or disobey orders, and he had to obey Hu Guoshan's orders, otherwise his troops would change from the main force to the reserves.
Harassing the Japanese army only played some role, of course, it did not play a role in determining the outcome of the war, the most important thing was to attack, the little devil would not give up the city, and then beg grandpa to tell grandma to let you take over.
What Hu Guoshan was most afraid of was that the troops below had too high expectations of the means they used, thinking that they had achieved what they wanted, and rashly attacked the enemy, but the losses were greater.
The reason why they were given two days, Hu Guoshan also understood that their soldiers really needed to rest, if they attacked overnight, without rest for three days and three nights, the little devils were not defeated, their soldiers were tired and collapsed first, and in the end they had to change troops to attack, if the main attack troops were replaced, it would be a small problem to affect morale, and the scheduling of key troops would definitely give the little devils time to buffer.
As long as there is an hour of rest on the battlefield, the troops can be restored to a great deal of combat effectiveness, and Hu Guoshan will not be idle, he will withdraw his troops at will, and then replace a unit that does not understand the battlefield situation.
The fighting during the day was still fierce, and the soldiers were slowly advancing with the fire* quiver, and there was no need for them to risk going in and searching all the buildings, as long as the buildings had not been cleared, they had to be cleaned up for the first time with explosives, and then the soldiers entered.
If they had withdrawn from the area at night, they would have to do it again the next day, and it was for this reason that the casualties of the troops were increasing and the pace of their advance was slow.
As long as the other party does not surrender in a siege battle, ten days and half a month is short, and some siege battles will even last for more than a year, but Hu Guoshan does not have a year to consume with the devils, if there is him, he will not let the soldiers rush into the city to fight with the little devils, he will surround for a month, and not a grain of grain can enter the city, and after a month, the bones of the little devils can be seen everywhere in the city, how comfortable is this?
Fighting this kind of battle, which takes ten days and half a month, will inevitably require the soldiers to work hard to capture it, and it may not be able to take it down.
The soldiers who have just entered the battlefield no longer have the arrogance of the eldest and the second of the gods, they have seen the real battlefield, although they still lack experience, but they have understood that the battlefield is no longer what they imagined, they have experienced the tempering of hell, and they have really become an iron-blooded man who protects his family and defends the country.
"Platoon commander, platoon commander, there are ordinary people in the building ahead."
After a group of soldiers had cleared a building, they heard a noise in the building next door, and as a warrior's instinct, he should have thrown a grenade or a fire* arrow bullet without thinking about it.
But this time he didn't know what nerve he had committed, a nerve on the battlefield either hurt himself or saved himself, this time this soldier saved his conscience.
If this time he throws a grenade into it as usual, and then rushes into the defense area, and finds that it is not a little devil lying on the ground, but ordinary people, and finally after the end of this war, the conscience of his generation will probably be tormented.
The platoon commander gave him a strange look and did not ask the soldier why he risked such a thing, because everything was no longer important.
"Let's go and see."
It is not surprising that there are people living in the city, and although many have fled before the war, for some they have lived here all their lives, and it is their home from birth to death.
In fact, the people did not realize what the most real war was, when the bombs destroyed their houses, they wanted to escape, but they never had a chance again, the family hid in the basement like this, but they always needed food and drink, people for a sip of water, at this time they will do anything more risky.
Luckily, it was the Chinese soldiers who found them, not the little devils!
