The four infantry guns of the Japanese army fired one after another, causing a lot of damage to the preparations, a company of positions on the first line was hit by direct infantry shells, and the casualties were not small, and another curved shell smashed on the left flank of the position of the third company, killing several riflemen, and the heavy machine guns on the left flank were forced to stop firing and transferring, only the heavy machine guns on the right flank of the three companies were not directly attacked, and due to the inconvenience of observation, several infantry shells were all skipped here and exploded on the trenches in the rear. Ｘ

"Zheng Yiqun, stabilize your people!"

After the fierce artillery bombardment, the position of the third company inevitably wavered, at this time there must be no chaos, otherwise the whole battalion collapsed, Zhang Wei wandered in the position of the third company, while observing the situation of the first-line position, the Japanese infantry artillery reached the direct fire, the position of the first company rose black smoke, the fierce gunfire continued, but it is difficult to see that there is continuous fire support, due to the increase in wounded soldiers, the first company had to send a squad through the traffic ditch to evacuate the wounded, further weakening the number of front-line combat soldiers.

"Carry the man away!"

Qiu Wei ordered the soldiers to carry away the wounded soldiers who fell in the trenches, the Japanese squadron in front of him, after the infantry artillery joined the battle, advanced further, as long as the light machine guns of a company and the resistance were densely fired, the Japanese shells would follow, the casualties of some infantry squads under Qiu Wei were close to half, the three platoons on the left flank of the first-line position had just been hit by direct fire from infantry shells, the position was blown up by a third, the deputy squad leader and three riflemen were killed on the spot and buried in the soil, and the rest were also wounded, The squad leader endured the pain and organized the remaining soldiers to continue to resist, while the Japanese machine-gun fire and grenadier fire suppressed the position, and the defense line was already precarious.

"He Kun, take the people of the company to reinforce the third platoon!"

The defense line of the company is tight, Qiu Wei really can't draw manpower, so he can only ask a company attached to He Kun to lead a few soldiers of the company to reinforce the three-row position, He Kun copied the shell gun, with a few soldiers of the company and a light machine gun rushed through the three-row position, a fierce beating, the Japanese troops who rushed to the three-row position were attacked by fire, the assault group rushing in front was swept down by the machine gun, the rear soldiers quickly lay down, and the crisis on the three-row position was temporarily alleviated.

'Boom, boom. The mortar platoon commander ignored the already heated barrel and forcibly opened fire to support the precarious first-line position, the mortar shells fell in front of the formation, killing and wounding several Japanese soldiers, but the suppressive effect was far less than before, the Japanese army's firepower pillar was infantry guns, and the direct fire of infantry shells not only killed and injured a company of soldiers, but also damaged the fortifications, so that the company's return fire could not be sustained.

The four infantry guns fired in columns, constantly firing at the positions of the preparatory battalions, mainly direct fire, supplemented by curved fire to attack the deep positions of the preparatory battalions, and the attacking Japanese squadrons advanced forward, gradually compressing the distance from the positions of the first company.

Zhang Wei spit out the dirt in his mouth and shook off the dust on the telescope, the current situation, the first company position is already in danger, the wounded soldiers and corpses sent down from the traffic ditch alone must have two squads, the first-line position can not be completely secured, we must be prepared to withdraw the second line of defense, the most important thing is to kill those few infantry guns, the only direct fire weapons that can be taken out on hand are those two battle defense guns.

"Guards, go to the left flank of the position and inform the commander of the third company to fully support the position of the first company, and try to find the Japanese fire to shoot in the air with heavy machine guns, and reinforce the first company with short shots."

Zhang Wei walked to the position where the anti-artillery was hidden, they were not damaged by the shelling just now, the platoon commander saw Zhang Wei coming, and knew that there was a task coming, so he immediately organized the soldiers to push the artillery out of the anti-artillery hole and pull up the firing position behind the side of the position of the third company.

"Cannon!" The platoon commander gave the order, and the anti-aircraft artillerymen who had arrived at the firing position immediately took action, and the station was equipped with a slope of the artillery position, the position was slightly lower than the level of the gun barrel, and sandbags were piled up around it as cover. The soldiers quickly pushed their guns and prepared for battle, and each anti-artillery squad consisted of a squad leader, six gunners, four reserve gunners and four pilots.

"Push the cannon forward!" The squad leader gave the battle order, and all the gunners worked together to push the guns up to the position, turning in the general direction, and after the guns were fired at the position, the second and third gunners separated the two gun tripods to the left and right respectively. The second gunner opened the cannon's hoe, and used the working tools to fix the hoe, so that the whole gun tends to be stable, and the fourth gunner took off the sheath at the muzzle of the gun at this time, squatted on the right side of the gun, and opened the gun's high and low hoe pins to unlock the direction fixing machine.

Zhang Wei watched the two artillery squad leaders give orders, and the platoon commander took the platoon headquarters to observe the general situation of the Japanese army in front of the position. As a result of the weakening of artillery cover, the first company returned fire with increased intensity, and the heavy machine guns on the positions of the third company also took the opportunity to open fire and strafe the Japanese troops who attacked in front of the position.

"Prepare for battle!"

The third gunner opened the sight set screw behind the gun, removed the cover plate on the sight, took out the toolbox from the rear, took out the sight, fixed it on the gun, and after fixing, the third gunner rotated the high and low machine, leveled the gun body with elevation angle to a horizontal angle, and then rotated the gun direction machine to detect whether the left and right rotation of the gun was faulty, and at the same time further flattened the gun body.

"Reload!"

The sixth gunner picked up the ammunition box and handed it to the fifth gunner, the fifth gunner took out a shiny shell with a grenade mark, handed the grenade to the second gunner, and the second gunner checked that the shell was in good condition and handed the shell to the fourth gunner located on the right rear side of the artillery, the fourth gunner pressed the gun door jam, held the door handle with his right hand, opened the gun chamber, confirmed that the gun chamber was correct, loaded the shell, and then closed the gun door and held the gun's pull rope.

In less than two minutes, the two guns were prepared separately, and a complicated set of operating procedures still had to be carried out in wartime.

"Sir, shall we strike infantry or heavy firepower first?" The platoon commander of the anti-aircraft artillery platoon took a few observers and lay on the front line with Zhang Wei.

"Hit the infantry artillery first and kill them, the threat to our heavy firepower and infantry is too great." 、

"Yes"

Although the Japanese Army's Type 92 artillery was well concealed, and when there was a firing position, the artillery was no more than half a meter high, which seemed very small from a distance, but for professional war defense artillery, it was not difficult to measure and aim at them.

"Boom, boom." After the Japanese infantry artillery was silent for a while, the Japanese infantry artillery began firing again, emitting gray and white smoke, which also provided a light for the firing of the battle defense artillery.

"Sir, the Japanese army is not an artillery, the battle situation is urgent, we concentrate two artillery pieces, knock on it with one door, how."

"It's your business, I don't care, I just need to deal with these infantry guns as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

After calculating the distance, the gunners of the two guns rotated the direction machine and aimed the muzzles of the guns in the approximate direction of the Japanese infantry guns.

"Shine as it is!"

After the squad leader instructed, the third gunner visually looked at the sight, took the pull rope from the fourth gunner, and after the sight was slightly enlarged, the tiny outline of the Japanese infantry gun appeared in the sight, and the third gunner rotated the sight and aligned the crosshairs divided in the sight to the Japanese infantry gun.

"It's done!"

"Ready!"

The two guns finished preparing for firing, and the respective three gunners gritted their teeth and tightly grasped the rope of the guns after receiving the command to prepare.

"Put!" r
