Chapter 100: Soldiers, Why Fear Death! (Bloody Three Watches),
The battle was about to start, Shao Fei divided the special combat team of twelve people into three groups of four, and led the team to the second line of defense on the left side of the U-shaped position. Xiaodao led the team to the second line of defense on the right, while Shao Fei took the rest of the people and stayed in the second line of defense on the front.
As Shao Fei said, the Japanese army began to attack from both flanks of the position with two squadrons, aiming to destroy the heavy firepower points on both flanks, so that the other side could not form a frontal firepower network.
The grenadier canister, also known as the "ghost cannon", has a maximum range of 25o meters. The devils of the two squadrons took the lead in using grenadiers to launch artillery fire on both flanks of the national army's position.
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~" The piercing sound continued to whistle in the sky, and countless howitzers rained down on the positions on both wings. The roar continued, deafening and deafening, shaking the entire position.
The soldiers of the national army quickly ducked into the recess dug in the morning, squatted reflexively, and placed sandbags in front of them.
"The squad leader is too good B, you can imagine this!"
The pillars of the left flank squatted in the recesses and shouted to the man a meter away on the right.
The soldier of the national army asked loudly: "Brother Balu, what is Niu B?" ”
"Boom!" With a bang, a cannonball rang out not far from the pillar.
"Phew~Bah~" The pillar spit out a few times, spit out the sand that fell into his mouth, and replied loudly: "That's what it means." Damn, where did the devil get so many shells, he wasn't killed, he was about to be buried alive. ”
At this time, the foot of the pillar and the buttocks were already covered with a thick layer of sand.
The sound of artillery did not stop, and the devil's infantry attacked from the left and right flanks.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "The devil has attacked!" ”
All the squatting fighters immediately got up and began to fight back. The "click" sound of machine guns and the "bang" of rifles on the position continued to sound, and together with the surrounding artillery sounds, they played a movement that only belonged to war.
The pillar sighed in his heart: The national army is still rich, and the devil began to fight back at a distance of 100 meters, and the bullets are rich enough.
In front of the position, the devil infantry made a triangular field defense to protect their own firepower points. Fighters of the Special Operations Team cannot effectively snipe enemy fire points, but can only snipe the infantry and light machine gunners at the front.
The fighters on the position, under the intensive shelling of the devils, began to appear casualties. But the casualties of the devils in the front were even greater, because their first round of shelling did not produce an effective blow to the national troops on the position.
At Shao Fei's suggestion, Zheng Jun deployed some of the troops of the main position to the two flanks, which also played a big role.
The main tactical purpose of the Japanese army was to seize both ends of the U-shape, and then arrange the Japanese heavy machine gun fire points, and the infantry of the two squadrons penetrated deep into the rear of the defenders under the cover of firepower. In the main force from the front to form a triangular trend against the defenders, wiped out in one fell swoop.
But the devil's tactical intentions were soon shattered. One, they had no heavy artillery support; Second, the firepower of the grenadier is limited; three, the two wings have soldiers; Four, they faced 8 snipers.
The devils of the two squadrons, less than 5o meters from the positions on both flanks, retreated in disarray. The soldiers of the national army on both wings began to cheer in victory.
In the first wave of battles, more than 40 people were killed and wounded on both flanks of the Nationalist army, and nearly 100 casualties were suffered on the two squadrons of the Japanese army.
Shao Fei has been observing the movements of the devils in front of him in the active position.
"Squad leader!"
"Squad leader!"
The pillar and the knife rushed to both sides almost simultaneously, very excited.
Shao Fei looked at the gray faces of the two of them, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" ”
The knife grabbed in front of the pillar and said, "Happy, squad leader." You don't know the devil's expression of running away in the end. ”
"What about casualties?"
Shao Fei asked again, this was what he was most worried about, because the shelling just now was still very fierce.
The pillar said in a deep voice: "Our team members are all fine, but the brothers of the national army have sacrificed a lot of people." Fifteen people were killed. ”
The knife replied in the words of the pillar: "It is similar on my side, there are 12 dead and wounded. ”
Shao Fei sighed after hearing this. sighed in my heart: In just over half an hour, such a young life sacrificed his life for the country. You know, this is just the beginning.
At this time, the Zheng Jun brothers walked up to Shao Fei, their expressions were completely different from Shao Fei's, smiling, and even excited.
"Brother Shao Fei, thanks to you this time. We repelled the first wave of the devil's attack so quickly. ”
Zheng Jun stepped forward happily and talked to Shao Fei.
Shao Fei looked at Zheng Jun with an expression of a great victory, and he smiled reluctantly, and said, "But we still sacrificed a lot of brothers in the national army. ”
"Hey~" Zheng Jun waved his hand happily and said proudly: "How can there be immortals in war, as soldiers, we have already dedicated our lives to the country." Sacrifice your life for the country, glory! Our whole regiment has long been determined to die and fight to the end in a bloody battle against the Japanese invaders! ”
After listening to Zheng Jun's bold words, Shao Fei was so ashamed that he dared to do so. They are the real heroes, the real men. On the contrary, I feel a little heroic short-breathed.
This kind of large-scale and fierce positional warfare was encountered by Shao Fei for the first time, and he learned a lot in this battle, not only the way of fighting positional warfare, but also the courage that a soldier should have. Maybe this is the real war, Shao Fei began to slowly understand and slowly transform.
"Head Zheng, you're right."
Shao Fei seemed to have changed as a person, full of vitality, his eyes became more determined, and then said generously: "A soldier should be a horizontal sword, and blood stains the yellow sand!" This is the best destination for our soldiers! ”
"Yes!" Zheng Jun patted Shao Fei on the shoulder.
"Commander Zheng, if you believe me, can you put the command of the forward position in my hands?"
Shao Fei suddenly asked for command to surprise Zheng Jun, his identity was the Eighth Route Army after all. After thinking about it, he said, "No problem, if it weren't for you, my brothers who died in the battle just now wouldn't be so few." ”
After Zheng Jun finished speaking, he began to observe the situation ahead.
After Zheng Jun finished observing, he asked, "Brother Shao Fei, what do you guess will be the next action of the devil?" ”
Shao Fei thought for a while, looked at the sky, and said, "Air attack." ”
"Oh?" Zheng Jun's expression became very serious, and he asked, "Are you so sure?" ”
"That's right." Shao Fei began to analyze: "The purpose of the attack on the two flanks just now is our firepower point, once they succeed, their main frontal force will launch a full-scale offensive. It's a pity that the devils didn't succeed, and if they attacked from the front, their infantry would have suffered heavy casualties under the cover of our two flanks of firepower. They only had air strikes, blowing up our firing points, and under the cover of aircraft, attacking from the front. ”
After hearing this, Zheng Jun was very confused, and said to Shao Fei: "We have no way to do anything about the plane. ”
Shao Fei said with a serious expression: "There is a way, but you must repay the determination to die." ”
As soon as Shao Fei's words fell, Zheng Hao stepped forward and said, "Say it, our regiment is not afraid of death." ”
Shao Fei asked, "How many light machine guns are there in your regiment?" ”
Zheng Jun replied: "The Czech style plus the crooked handle is about 5o straight. ”
"Enough. I need 48 people who are not afraid of death. Shao Fei said, pointed to a flat ground in the center of the position, and said: "48 people are divided into three groups, and the groups are separated by 5 meters, forming a positive triangle. Individual soldiers are spaced one meter apart, in a four-four formation. Constant firing in front of the nose of the plane. ”
"I know, I'll arrange it."
"Wait, I'm not done yet."
Shao Fei immediately stopped Zheng Hao and added: "That position is surrounded by a trench of the 'Gong' type, if the plane bombs and shoots at you, you immediately jump into the corresponding trench, and when the plane leaves, immediately come up and return to the original position." ”
"Got it."
After Zheng Hao finished speaking, he immediately left and went to organize a death squad.
After Zheng Hao left, Shao Fei asked Zheng Jun: "He is your own brother, why do you always ask him to take risks." ”
Zheng Jun disagreed, smiled, and said frankly: "Zheng Hao is my brother, and everyone in the whole group is my brother." How can a big brother be favoritism, and how can there be a difference between intimacy and alienation when he is the head of the regiment. ”
Zheng Jun's words once again made Shao Fei pay tribute to this person, if the Chinese soldiers are like this brother, why not fear that the Japanese invaders will not be destroyed, and why worry that China will not prosper.
