Liu Lang's request was a bit incomprehensible, not to mention digging trenches and building fortifications on a mountain on the side of the pass where more than 9,000 red troops were stationed, not to mention building fortifications, and also asking for many scarecrows wearing red army uniforms to be tied in it.

Originally, he wanted to refuse this child's playful request, although the mountain had no military value, and he didn't care that the independent regiment would break through the defense and march into the new red base area, but after all, the red army did not have many uniforms, and it was a little ridiculous to waste it on the scarecrow.

But a telegram from the farther south made him change his mind, and he also wanted to see what this anti-Japanese hero who belonged to the national military department was selling. Even if there is any conspiracy, the more than 9,000 heroic red soldiers under his command are not afraid at all.

However, the next scene in the telescope made the hearts of the graduates of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy seem to be grappled.

More than a dozen flowers suddenly bloomed on the mountain in the distance, so that the famous red general, who had experienced countless bloody battles, immediately judged that it was at least ten cannons firing at the same time, and a few seconds after the cannon sparks bloomed, the rumbling sound of cannons came from afar, proving that his judgment just now was correct.

With at least two mountain guns and no less than 10 mortars covered by fire at the same time, it is no wonder that this independent regiment was able to fight to the death of the Japanese Eighth Division, first of all, in terms of artillery equipment, it is comparable to a division of the White Army. The graduates of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, who have fought many times against the national army, certainly know the firepower allocation of the old enemy, and it is good for a division to have a few mountain guns, which is already the envy of the red troops.

"Commander-in-Chief Xu, our independent regiment in the battle of the Great Wall, our army captured a total of 11 Japanese-style 41-type mountain guns of the 4th brigade, due to the long way back to the station from Beiping, our department will give all 11 Japanese-style mountain guns to friendly troops, and the artillery company has now been expanded into an artillery battalion, basically based on two Bofors mountain guns and 8 82-type mortars, and the new artillery has not yet been installed." Xiao Fenghua explained to the red general who was already solemn on the side.

"It's really majestic, two mountain guns and 8 mortars go into battle together, but it's 。。。。。" The red general's face was solemn, but the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain.

He now knows more or less the purpose of the Independent Regiment, which is to show off his strength, but if he wants to scare away the hard-tempered red troops with a few cannons, then they obviously want to be wrong.

"Hehe, Commander-in-Chief Xu, don't jump to conclusions, just keep watching." Xiao Fenghua smiled slightly, and did not argue with this famous red general.

Whether in terms of qualifications or command and combat ability, Xiao Fenghua knows that he is far from this Whampoa first-term student, or it cannot be compared at all, but when it comes to the firepower of the independent regiment, Xiao Fenghua is confident that the independent regiment is not inferior to the well-equipped Japanese invaders, and even stronger than them in light firepower, which is the self-confidence of fighting in the Great Wall battle.

Far longer than the red generals had imagined, the entire hill was shrouded in black smoke after thirty minutes of artillery fire, and faintly, the lush green had almost been blown away, revealing the top of the mountain made of black rocks and yellow dirt.

Behind the artillery fire, there was the roar of dozens of machine guns, which had not detected the enemy's fire point at all, and the three attacking troops could only pour their strongest firepower wantonly into the trenches and human figures looming on the mountainside.

Among them, it was the recruit battalion that fought the hardest, although the enemy could not be seen, but the recruits who had twice ambushed the Japanese army were given the order to fire with all their strength for the first time after many days of training, and both the infantry and the few machine gunners shot desperately at the "enemy" trenches with a little excitement and a little fear that could not be described with pen and ink.

Even if the enemy did not fight back in the slightest, while trying to lower his body, he pulled the trigger and pulled the bolt and then pulled the trigger, and shot the bullet out of the chamber with his fastest speed to form a concentrated firepower, and before launching a charge, he had to use superior firepower to suppress the enemy, which was told to them by the veteran instructors of the new battalion who had experienced the fire.

Don't try to aim at this moment, any aim may make you a target for the enemy, this is to tilt the bullet a lot to suppress it. Don't be afraid to waste bullets, bullets never matter to life. Of course, this is in the case of sufficient ammunition reserves and logistical transportation to keep up, and the commander will have different considerations in different situations.

Therefore, for a while, the firepower of the new battalion on the left flank for a short time impressed the other two infantry battalions, which were basically composed of veterans and had not yet been fully formed.

"Yo, recruits can do it! Brothers, don't keep your hands, listen to Lao Tzu's orders, and let the recruits see what is called firepower superiority. Chi Dakui caught a glimpse of the gunfire from the boot camp from a distance, couldn't help laughing, and ordered to fire with all his might.

Thousands of rifles opened fire with all their might, although it was so that the smoke of gunpowder on the three positions of the independent regiment could barely see the human figure clearly, but the bushes on the opposite hill 300 meters were like rain hitting plantains, and the branches and leaves were flying sideways.

Of course, the rifle's rate of fire is too low, and from a distance it doesn't seem to be too powerful.

The most terrible thing was the machine guns of the Separate Regiment.

The rate of fire of the more than 30 Czech-made guns was so low that it didn't matter, but the scene after the 20 or so "Hitler chainsaws" fired at full speed was a little scary, plus six twin anti-aircraft guns fired flat.

"Puff Puff"

"Knock Knock"

The two terrible sounds that make people feel sore and the sound of Hanyang-made "bang bang" together form the main theme of the entire battlefield.

Of course, the red troops who were miles away could not hear such a clear voice, but they could see it.

From a distance, dozens of fiery red ballistics suddenly appeared, followed by rows of small trees as if waved by an invisible chainsaw, broken out of thin air, anti-aircraft guns and machine gun bullets shot on the rocks, bursting out of the sparks in the slightly gloomy afternoon, brilliant like fireworks set off during the New Year.

"Order the chief of the operations section to report to me the reconnaissance, how many machine guns are firing in the independent regiment?" It was difficult for the red general to remain calm, ignoring Xiao Fenghua beside him, and turned around and ordered.

Then, before the reconnaissance report was seen, the first student of the Whampoa Military Academy gritted his teeth and watched the soldiers on that side of the battlefield shoot for fifteen minutes, and after not knowing how many bullets were fired, the infantry in the middle of the road opened fire again before the assault, and the artillery fire continued to explode 200 meters before the infantry in the assault forward.

"Hiss~~~~ This is infantry coordination?" The red general gasped, "This is not wartime, so you are not afraid of blowing up your own people?" ”

"Commander-in-Chief Xu rest assured, in the battle of the Great Wall, our army has carried out many infantry and artillery coordinated attacks, otherwise it is really not easy to break into the trenches of the devils, and the little devils are tenacious! As for what you said about why you are not afraid of blowing up your own people, how can we not be afraid? But at that time, no one would be afraid, and if we didn't do this, we would pay a heavier price, and we would only die if we served our country.

The first battalion of infantry are all veterans and already have experience, and our regimental commander originally intended to use this opportunity to do a large-scale exercise, so that the recruits can see what the real battlefield is, although they are lucky, unlike the last batch of recruits who went to fight bandits for the first time on the battlefield, this is just a drill after all. Xiao Fenghua explained.

Undoubtedly, this is a strong army, and it is by no means blown out by newspapers, and for the first time, the first phase of Whampoa has wavered in the heart of the 9,000 red soldiers under his command.

At least fifty machine guns were firing, several 20-mm twin anti-aircraft guns, and one was a never-before-seen high-rate machine gun, far outpacing the Maxim heavy machine gun. The report handed over to the red general by the head of the reconnaissance section, who approached the position of the independent regiment 300 meters away, made the red general's face even more ugly.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent only had a scale of more than 2,000 people, he would even think that what was in front of him was the most elite reuniter of the bald boss.

In particular, Xiao Fenghua also helped explain that the machine gun owned by the Independent Regiment was a great contributor to the Independent Regiment's killing of the Japanese invaders, and the rate of fire was as high as 1,200 rounds per minute.
