Chapter 1009: The Earth Shakes the Mountains (Fourth Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Infantry artillery is Okazaki Shoichi's hole card.

The 28th Cavalry Wing made sufficient preparations for this trip, and specially carried a Type 92 infantry gun with eight war horses.

The infantry gun, which weighed no more than 212 kilograms, was disassembled, and three military horses were enough to carry, and five military horses also helped carry a total of 50 shells, not to mention a small machine gun bunker, in Okazaki Shoichi's opinion, with this cannon, he could bombard the entire Chinese position into a sea of fire.

Who lets, he has artillery, but the Chinese are useless!

His Excellency Shoichi Okazaki, who was arrogant enough to drink water without his mouth and use his nostrils to catch rainwater, did not know that at a distance of 8 miles from here, the muzzles of the six glowing Bofors mountain cannons had been silently aimed at the old pass.

At a position of 30 meters for each gun, there were three shell boxes, and in each box, six shells.

According to the battalion commander Zhao Da, who was waiting for the military order in front of the radio, "Dog's day, give these shells to Lao Tzu as fast as possible, and not a single shot is allowed to be left." ”

If it weren't for the existence of Xiong Er and the special squad, the field hospital was almost attacked by a small group of Japanese troops, and his wife was almost killed by a little devil, which made Zhao Ergou Zhao Da Battalion Commander almost go crazy, desperately pressing the fire, and not emphasizing that the rocket artillery company came to participate in the shelling, it was all the result of his deep breath and deep breathing.

Six guns, a total of 108 shells, all of which were gifts prepared by Battalion Commander Zhao to the 28th Cavalry Wing. Farther away, two three-jumpers hidden under the mountain rocks and loaded with shells were on standby, and each car was also loaded with 60 shells, a total of 120 rounds.

Compared with the six mountain guns here, more than 200 rounds of 6.5 kg small howitzer shells, the 70-caliber infantry gun of Okazaki Shoichi Nakasa, plus 50 shells, is simply weak.

However, the parties do not think so.

When the infantry cannon let out six consecutive roars, the smoke cleared, and the heavy machine gun bunker in Okazaki Shoichi's telescope, which had just been desperately spitting out flames at his own infantry, was scorched black, half of the natural bunker ---- rocks were missing, the heavy logs covered with dirt were also lifted, and the heavy machine gun was not visible for a long time.

Obviously, the last reliance of the Chinese has been completely eliminated, and although there are still two light machine guns still roaming around and trying to shoot at the cavalry squad of nearly twenty people left in the feint, it is not too much of a threat.

Slowly pulling out his command knife, His Excellency Nakasa, the commander of the 28th Cavalry Wing, gave the battle order that he regretted the most in his life but which exhilarated him the most at this time: "Kill and give, all, attack." ”

Four heavy machine guns were fired at the Chinese position at a distance of nearly 400 meters, and 10 light machine guns charged the hilltop position with 184 men from two cavalry squadrons plus 20 people who participated in the feint to test the remaining firepower of the Chinese army.

Ten grenadiers followed last, firing grenades at any Chinese infantry who dared to shoot down the hill, the trenches on the stone hill that were extremely difficult to dig and obviously not too deep were weak in protection against parabolic grenades, and the corpses of Chinese soldiers in dark blue uniforms that exploded from time to time further stimulated the madness of the Japanese army.

In just ten minutes, the main force of the Japanese army of 200 people arrived at a position 100 meters from the front of the Chinese position, except for the grenades thrown by the Chinese from the trenches from time to time, which would cause certain damage to the Japanese troops, the Chinese who were suppressed in the trenches and could not lift their heads have not fired several reliable rounds of fire until now.

This not only made Okazaki Masai, who was still leading a cavalry squad of 30 people at the bottom of the mountain to command and supervise the battle, smile on the corner of his mouth, as the commander of the front, Captain Nagato Fukina, the squadron leader of the 1st Infantry Squadron of the 28th Cavalry Wing, was even more excited.

As the second son of the Endo family, although he has the title of nobleman, he knows that the eldest son is only qualified to inherit the title of nobility, and once he gets married, he will not be able to inherit the title and have a son, and his son will be inferior. This is unacceptable to Fukina Endo, who has been bathed in aristocratic glory since childhood.

For future generations to continue to bathe in the glory of nobility, it takes military exploits. Now, breaking through the Chinese's position is a battle achievement, and as long as he obtains this battle merit, he may be promoted from a captain to a deputy and take a big step forward again to the light of nobility.

Excitedly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he pulled out his command knife and roared: "Imperial warriors, for the sake of the empire, for His Majesty the Emperor, charge." ”

No one could withstand the charge of nearly 200 imperial warriors, especially the Chinese. In the smoke of the constant explosion of grenades, the Japanese captain, who had been charging forward with a command knife in both hands, was convinced of this, stepping on the blood of his comrades who had been killed.

The Japanese captain's self-confidence was right, and when they paid the price of being killed and wounded by a grenade, they rushed to the position guarded by the Chinese soldiers. The position with its dilapidated walls and trenches dug out along the mountain.

However, they did not encounter a single Chinese soldier who remained on the ground and made a final struggle with the bayonets they had already held.

They saw only the backs of the last few Chinese soldiers who fled down the hill in a hurry along the trenches.

Unexpectedly, it took them only ten minutes to capture the defensive position of an infantry company, and the cost of casualties was only twenty people. It's too easy, isn't it? Even the Japanese cavalry, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, was obviously a little overjoyed at this time.

According to the law of their previous battles with the Chinese army, even if the Chinese wanted to run, they would generally leave a small force behind to avoid being chased and killed and causing the main force to suffer greater losses. And that small force will generally fight to the death and never retreat, and eventually all of them will die in battle.

This Chinese army was obviously weak, and after the light and heavy machine gun fire was completely destroyed, it was all oiled ----- slipped.

In any case, it took them less than 50 minutes from the beginning of the test of fire to the launch of an all-out attack, far less than the expected time of the hour before the battle.

Looking at Captain Endo Fukina proudly planting the imperial flag on the Chinese position in the telescope, Okazaki Shoichi's eyebrows and corners of his eyes were full of smiles.

And Ye Zihua, who was hiding in the tunnel more than 40 meters below the main position of the old pass, watched the Japanese soldiers cheering and happily planting the Japanese Sun Flag, and a smile also bloomed on the corner of his mouth.

The Japanese army finally took the bait.

The reason why Taihang Mountain has been called the Taihang Eight Paths since ancient times is because the majestic Taihang Mountain Range has eight main passages, and Niangziguan is one of the eight paths. But it is not that there are only these eight passages in Taihang Mountain, the old pass, which is known as the most important pass on the left wing of Niangzi Pass, is important, not only because it can threaten the flank of Niangzi Pass from the cannons, but there is also a mountain road leading to the inside of Taihang Mountain from the outside, just under the mountain of the old pass.

Only by holding the old pass can we hold this passage, otherwise the Niangzi Pass defense area will have to divide a large number of troops to defend the flanks. The two sides were attacked at the same time, and the defense line of Niangziguan was naturally under great pressure.

But the hill defending Jiuguan is actually not so dangerous, the mountain is only more than 300 meters high, the terrain is not steep, and the position on the top of the mountain is only 9,000 square meters, and at most no more than one infantry battalion can be stationed.

In the past time and space, there was only an infantry battalion stationed here, so it was successfully attacked by an infantry brigade of the Japanese invaders. It was not easy for the infantry brigade of the Japanese invaders to hold this hill, and it was only in a limited time that a three-dimensional defensive position from the bottom up was adopted to withstand the attack of the two regiments of Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army, but it also suffered heavy casualties. An infantry brigade ended the battle of Niangzi Pass, but more than 400 people survived and more than 500 were killed.

The place is small, and there are too many troops, but sometimes it is a good thing, especially when the enemy's artillery fire is too hot, it is simply that no matter whether the fight is accurate or not, you can catch a few blind cats when you hit a dead mouse.

Not to mention that the artillery battalion of the separate regiment fired accurately.

If, the artillery battalion of the independent regiment, which has already marked the grid mark and tested more than ten guns in the Jiuguan position, can't even hit this accurately, Zhao Ergou, the big battalion commander, can really go home and hug the doll.

"Report to the group, the fish has bitten the hook." As the radio waves emitted by the first battalion radio were answered, Liu Lang rushed to the front line with him to the infantry squad field radio station.

"Open the cannon, open the cannon towards the old close." Liu Lang roared.

"Open the cannon, and fire the cannon at the intended target." Zhao Ergou heard Liu Lang's order from the walkie-talkie, and his hoarse shouting could be heard almost two hundred meters away.

As the red flag of the command post fell downward, the artillery squad leaders on each gun position waved their own small red flags at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom" The six mountain cannons roared almost simultaneously.

"Huh~~~~" The terrible howling of cannonballs came from far and near.

Captain Endo's smile suddenly stiffened, and his face instantly turned as white as white paper, and he shouted: "Enter the trenches and avoid the artillery." ”

In his experience, the shells would arrive in 2 seconds, and the more than 200 officers and soldiers could no longer hide anywhere except into the trenches dug by the Chinese. Although the mountainside position of retreating to Fangcai's attack was a good choice, the distance of tens of meters was too far for a shell that could arrive in 2 seconds.

Without him shouting, the Japanese army jumped into the trenches en masse.

However, the Chinese of Baga are too lazy! The proud Imperial Japanese cavalrymen of the 28th Cavalry Wing, who jumped into the trench at the first time, were completely dumbfounded at the moment they jumped into the trench.

The trench turned out to be waist-deep, lying down, and if you bow down slightly, your butt will be exposed. Can this Baga dodge the cannon? The Japanese cavalry were about to cry.

This may also be the first time that the proud nobles of the 28th Cavalry Wing have such a deep resentment against the Chinese for not even digging deep trenches.

Of course, it could be the last time.

They didn't know that after Liu Lang issued the military order to lure the enemy into the bait two hours ago, more than 700 officers and soldiers of the first battalion carried sand and soil to fill the trenches they had worked so hard to dig up for half a level.

Six shells instantly raised six flames on the Jiuguan position, and the ground shook.

PS: Today said that the five watches, but Fengyue has completed 4 more so far, so, Fengyue is ready to continue to work hard, and strive for another change in the evening, children's boots, you can vote!

By the way, I recommend a friend's book, although the author writes fantasy, but he has a big brain and a lot of ideas, so he will know if he goes to see it. In front of Roger's Chinese restaurant in "Food Dominates Another World", several green-skinned guys squatted in a row, shouting "Orcs will never be slaves", while sucking the sea bowl noodles in their hands with chopsticks。。。。。。。
