849. Hold the Position at the Foot of the Mountain
After taking the Japanese army's position at the foot of Minshan, it was almost the second half of the night, and Sangou ordered the whole company and even the whole battalion not to rush to clean up the battlefield first, but to rush to repair the fortifications. &1t;/p>
Just divide a small part of the lightly wounded, and replenish the guns one by one against the devils on the ground, whether they are corpses or the dying and seriously wounded, etc., and do not take prisoners, let alone the wounded of devils. &1t;/p>
In addition, the seriously wounded on their side immediately asked the stretcher team in the regiment to send them down, and the soldiers who were not injured left a quarter of them to guard the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain, and all the other emergency repair fortifications, including the officers. &1t;/p>
Sangou and Lao Liu entered the largest cave fortress in the position, and now the space inside is really large, it turns out that this is a cave, a cave. &1t;/p>
This kind of karst cave is in the mountainous areas of Jiangxi, especially in the mountains of northern Jiangxi and northeast Jiangxi, this kind of karst cave often appears, the opening on the outside looks very small, some are small like dog holes, but the inside is very large. &1t;/p>
This cave was obviously built by the devils, and there was probably a platoon of people in it, and the entrance of the cave was reinforced with wood and stone, although it was blown up by the 92-step cannon of the bamboo pole, but it can still be seen that the devil's fortifications were very cleverly designed. &1t;/p>
In addition to the reinforcement of the hole, there are also lookout holes, concealment, which is also divided into small ammunition depots and food places, and the hole is a machine gun nest, which was originally equipped with a heavy machine gun, but now it has been blown to pieces, and parts are scattered all over the ground. &1t;/p>
Because the fortress at the entrance of the cave was built on the mountain, and the entrance of the cave was also outside the position at the foot of the mountain, it was impossible to block the attack of the Japanese army on the mountain for the time being, so Lao Liu and Sangou took it as the battalion headquarters, and after the entrance of the cave was reinforced, a light machine gun was placed as a warning firepower. &1t;/p>
The other small caves are also about the same, and the direction of defense is not facing the mountain, and the three dogs decided to clean these up and make a Tibetan cave. &1t;/p>
Then how to defend against the attack of the Japanese army on the mountain? This is a problem that needs to be solved urgently in front of Lao Liu and Sangou, and the devils on the mountain may counterattack at any time, and it may be a very strong counterattack. &1t;/p>
The other two battalions of the O5 Regiment also came over and spread their forces on the last and second lanes of the position at the foot of the mountain, and just three battalions were distributed on the three positions, forming a certain depth. &1t;/p>
The 51st Division attaches great importance to this breakthrough, and at present, it seems that only this breakthrough is the deepest into the nest of the Japanese army in Minshan, and it is also the most threatening, and it has the most opportunity to continue to attack Minshan. &1t;/p>
The 51st Division ordered the O5 Regiment to first stabilize its foothold, hold the position it had grabbed, and then cooperate with the second strong attack of the whole army and take the lead in killing Shangminshan. &1t;/p>
The second assault, which is expected to arrive tomorrow night, or perhaps tomorrow evening, was fought all night, and the soldiers were tired and hungry, and needed to rest in time, while avoiding the Japanese planes and artillery during the day. &1t;/p>
But at present, the breakthrough won by the O5 regiment will be a thorn in the side of the Japanese army, and in the coming daylight, it is estimated that the Japanese army will storm this place in order to get rid of the threat under their noses. &1t;/p>
Therefore, the 51st Division took advantage of the fact that daylight had not yet arrived, and sent heavy troops to transport a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food, and the third battalion actually obtained three heavy machine guns, two mortars, and more than a dozen grenadiers. &1t;/p>
The other rifle light machine gun grenade bullets were fully replenished, and only Lao Liu's mouth bloomed happily, and he hurriedly divided them, leaving some of them to hide in various small caves. &1t;/p>
Looking at Sangou's sad face, Lao Liu was puzzled: "You fool, such a big fortune, why are you still a dog?" ”&1t;/p>
"Alas! Give us meat to eat, and you want to buy our lives. ”&1t;/p>
"You kid, keep your mouth tight, don't talk nonsense, if you don't give us meat to eat, we have to work hard, we have to die anyway, it's better to eat better and then die." &1t;/p>
"Hehe, that's the same, with these heavy weapons, let's quickly disperse our forces and make more fortifications and firepower points on this mountain." &1t;/p>
"Is this like a word, don't frown all day long, it's a big deal to lose a rotten life here, you have to die, and you have to kill more devils, so that you can die happily and enough." &1t;/p>
Okay, I didn't have time to talk nonsense here, Sangou and Lao Liu hurried to the defensive areas of each company, urging everyone to dig foxholes, machine gun nests, bunkers, and strengthen hidden soldiers' holes. &1t;/p>
Most of the soldiers were actually too tired and hungry, but fortunately, just now the division headquarters asked the baggage team to pull a few large carts of meat buns, and everyone ate meat buns in three bites, while waving sapper shovels and desperately digging holes. &1t;/p>
Looking at this group of marmot-like warriors, Sangou felt a feeling, and also used the sapper shovel, commanding everyone to dig out the traffic trenches and connect the foxholes together, and at the same time try to keep the fortifications left by the devils and make use of them. &1t;/p>
…… &1t;/p>
Sure enough, when daylight came, it became a world where the Japanese army was rampant again, but it was just aircraft artillery, constantly bombing the positions of the Chinese army. &1t;/p>
If it was in the plains of the north, there should still be Japanese tanks, but in the mountains, these heavy armored weapons could not exert their power, and the Maruyama brigade almost did not bring tanks this time. &1t;/p>
However, even if it was just the aircraft artillery, the amount of bombs was still much higher than usual, and many positions of the 74th Army, especially those exposed on the surface, were blown up so that they couldn't see what they were. &1t;/p>
Fortunately, most people knew that the Japanese artillery fire would definitely come during the day, and they all hid in the hidden caves or in the mountains and forests, and those positions had no time to camouflage or fake positions, so they could only be bombed by the Japanese army. &1t;/p>
The Japanese planes and artillery took special care of the three dogs and their three battalions, and on the position at the foot of this mountain, they bombed back and forth many times, and the planes were blown up, the artillery was bombed, the artillery was blown up, and the horse artillery came back once or twice. &1t;/p>
Fortunately, in the second half of last night, the third battalion withstood fatigue and hardship, desperately dug a lot of hidden soldiers in the mountains and forests, and escaped the catastrophe, but there were still some people who were very unlucky to be blown up and collapsed, so they could only be sacrificed. &1t;/p>
He died before he left the school, which made the hero cry. &1t;/p>
Finally, the Japanese artillery fire stopped, and because the Japanese artillery came several times to return the horse artillery, everyone could not be sure when the Japanese artillery fire would end, so they could only wait. &1t;/p>
Only when the Japanese troops on the hill began to attack downwards could they be sure that the Japanese artillery fire had stopped exactly, and no matter how bad the Japanese artillery was, it would not even blow up its own people. &1t;/p>
It's just that in this way, it is very passive in seizing the position, because it will slow down the beat of the Japanese attacking troops, don't underestimate this beat, the initiative on the battlefield is often decided in the few minutes after the artillery fire. &1t;/p>
Normal infantry and artillery coordination, the attacking troops will generally be 300 meters away, and as soon as the artillery fire is extended, they will immediately start charging, even if it is a straggler formation, it will take at least more than a minute. &1t;/p>
If, within a minute or so, the defenders are not able to emerge from the hiding hole or the dust to seize their position, a deadly assault awaits them. &1t;/p>
Only by quickly seizing the position and immediately firing to suppress the onslaught of the attacker can we regain the initiative on the battlefield and have time to continue to organize troops to resist. (To be continued)&1t;/p>
