Dong Erli was summoned, Dong Erli looked at the grenadier and grenade in Zhang Wei's hand, his eyes lit up, but then he dimmed again.

"Sir, I've heard of this devil's thing, but I can't use it."

Zhang Wei smiled and said: This thing is very easy to use, similar to a mortar, you see that the lead below is for firing, the round button is for adjusting the distance, and the pulley above is for adjusting the scale, which means the same as the sight of the 82 mortar............

After all, Dong Erli was born as a mortar and had a cultural background, Zhang Wei taught for a while, and soon learned to operate, Zhang Wei not only gave him a grenadier and ammunition, but also asked him to teach his soldiers while he was free.

"I finally have the support firepower, and as for the problem of skillful operation, I can only practice while fighting."

It didn't take much effort to clear the position, and the soldiers entered their respective positions under the leadership of the squad and platoon leader, and Zhang Wei also called the squad and platoon leaders over, ready to teach some essentials, after all, among the more than 100 people, the ones who have received Zhang Wei's training are only a dozen people who rushed out of a row. Although the training level of the teaching team is not bad, Zhang Wei still feels the need to remind them.

"You are the squad leader, I won't talk nonsense, after fighting for so long, everyone knows that devils are not vegetarians." "To fight a war, you have to talk about methods, then I will say it directly, tell my subordinates that the machine guns are fired in groups of three consecutive bursts, and the position is changed every time two magazines are fired, and the riflemen are also paying attention to changing positions."

More than a dozen people squatted in the trenches digesting what Zhang Wei said, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, let's go back." Zhang Wei stood up and dismissed the squad leaders. The Japanese army has not launched an attack for nearly an hour, and that's all he can teach, as for the coordination and coordination of squad group tactics, he has no time to say, and this kind of ordinary squad tactics has been trained by the teaching corps, but the proficiency level of each infantry squad is different.

Zhang Wei also took advantage of the leisure to rest for a while. Not long after, the regiment attached to the position came, bringing additional ammunition and meals. The rice is rice porridge mixed with rice porridge in a large wooden barrel, and the dishes are pickles and boiled meat residue cabbage.

The regiment went to Zhang Wei's position to inspect it, and after saying a few words, he left the position.

After eating, all the people remained vigilant as they were, either resting or observing. The Japanese army has not moved so far.

Gradually, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and when many people were still confused, Zhang Wei had already faintly seen the steel in the clouds. "There are planes! Lie down" Zhang Wei shouted, reminding the company and the third battalion, and the soldiers recovered from the panic and lay down in the trenches and concealment.

More than a dozen Mitsubishi 96 land attacks swooped down under the cover of an equal number of Type 96 carrier-based fighters. The same situation happened over the heads of all the Nanjing garrisons. One bomb after another fell from the fuselage and smashed on the position, but the Nationalist army was not only bombed by bombers, but also the Type 96 fighters circled over the Purple Mountain in groups of three, and began to strafe the defenders of the teaching corps, and the 7.7-millimeter aviation machine guns set off a series of flying stones inside and outside the trenches.

Zhang Wei saw a soldier in the distance, who had just been hit by scattered bomb shrapnel, lying on the ground crying for his father and mother, when a 7.7mm machine gun bullet hit him in the head, helping him end his pain. The Japanese fighters strafed as much as they could, and there was no need to worry about the fighters of the Chinese Air Force, because the Chinese and Soviet Air Force, which had been completely wiped out a few days earlier.

There was occasionally a cloud of anti-aircraft guns in the sky, and it was the 20-mm Surothong small guns that taught the brigades of the corps to make a pitiful and weak return fire.

The bomb is finished. Fighter jets also began to return because of fuel. What was left behind was a position full of holes, the losses of the reinforced company were relatively small, only a dozen casualties, and the main position of the third battalion was miserable, more than 30 people were killed and wounded, and many of them were newly replenished recruits, and the surviving recruits looked around with blank eyes, watching the veterans carry the corpses away, and picked up the guns again under the supervision of the veterans.

After the bombing, everyone recovered their positions as quickly as possible, because this was the signal for the attack.

Boom, one by one, the mountain artillery shells began to bombard again, but the density was much slighter than before, and it seems that the Japanese also felt that few people would survive after this kind of bombing.

On December 12, the 33rd Wing of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army attacked Purple Mountain, and the Japanese first bombarded the area around Purple Mountain with 75 mm field guns and 150 mm cannons, and the Second Combined Air Force of the Japanese Navy also dispatched fighters to participate in the attack.

After the bombardment, the 33rd Wing of the Japanese Army and the 22nd Wing of the Field Artillery began to attack the mountain, but met with stubborn resistance from the soldiers of the National Army.

Zhang Wei picked up the binoculars and looked: the Japanese infantry in the distance had already begun to launch a surprise attack, and under the leadership of the corporal, they jumped forward to attack, and the grenadier group and the light machine gun group had a clear division of labor. The 92 heavy machine guns that had fixed their positions had already begun to fire at the main position and the western heights where Zhang Wei was located, while some of the bold heavy machine gun crews were carried by three machine gunners with tripods inserted into the cylinders, and ventured forward under the cover of the riflemen of the heavy machine gun detachment.

Heavy machine gun cover fire does not have a high hit rate, but there are also unlucky tricks. Zhang Wei called the mortar squad by his side, and he would personally command it later. The Japanese infantry rushed to a distance of more than 200 meters, and some of the recruits on the position of the third battalion couldn't help but start firing in fear.

Zhang Wei called Dong Erli over, he had already taught his soldiers almost, but unfortunately there was only one grenadier. Dong Erli loaded a Type 89 special grenade with the cooperation of the deputy shooter, turned the groomer, adjusted the distance according to Zhang Wei's instructions, and only waited for Zhang Wei's launch order.

The Japanese army quickly rushed to the firing distance, the main position of the third battalion had already been shot loudly, the western heights of the reinforced company due to the high terrain of the pound mountain and the terrain, so Zhang Wei did not give the order to fire, this time he wanted to use the grenadier as a signal to order, the Japanese troops in the northeast direction had gradually approached, and the third battalion began to shoot, a crooked light machine gun group had occupied a good position, shooting at the connection between the third battalion and the western highlands.

"It's you, Erli, aim at that machine gun, hit', a Type 89 grenade flew out of the barrel, and the officers and soldiers of the reinforced company also began to shoot, and the Japanese army was suddenly shot by the western highlands, and four or five people were immediately knocked down.

Boom, the grenade exploded on the ground, but it didn't hit, it was more than ten meters away, and the Japanese light machine gun team didn't think it was hitting them. The grenade hit an open field, which only caused some obstacles to the charging Japanese troops, and did not kill or injure. Instead, a grenade dropped by the officers and men of the reinforced company wounded some Japanese soldiers.

"Two forces, re-aim." Dong Erli loaded a grenade again, stabilized the barrel, adjusted the knob in a clockwise direction, released the handle, and this time hit the side of the light machine gun, the machine gunner was killed and fell to the ground, and the deputy shooter was lying on the ground covered in blood and rolling.

"Fight nicely, go on, machine guns and grenadiers first." Zhang Wei patted Dong Er excitedly.

Grenades were fired from the western heights, killing and injuring the Japanese troops, and even if they missed, shrapnel and explosions stopped the pace of the Japanese attack. Zhang Wei saw that Dong Erli's operation was gradually becoming proficient, so he swam into the trench with a rifle to command the troops, and came to the side of a light machine gun group. The light machine gunner was firing at a group of Japanese troops advancing up the high ground, probably because of his nervousness, he did not fire a burst of fire, and went down with half a magazine. As a result, only one Japanese soldier was killed.

"You don't fucking know how to shoot a machine gun, you used to be a rifleman, what the fuck is this broken marksmanship, it took half a shuttle to fucking kill one." Zhang Wei scolded him, grabbed the machine gun, and immediately changed a firing position, "Da Da" a round of four bursts, killing two Japanese soldiers, and the other three Japanese soldiers immediately dispersed, trying to distract Zhang Wei's attention, but Zhang Wei didn't care about him, aimed at a person and shot a person and was knocked to the ground. The other two were killed by the other crossfires of the reinforced company, and their bodies tumbled limply down from the high ground.

"Did you learn it? Remember! Zhang Wei returned the light machine gun to him, picked up his lieutenant and crawled into the front trench.

Dong Erli's grenadier operation is becoming more and more proficient, and the lethality of each grenade is also improving. The Japanese also seemed to have noticed the firepower of the Western Highlands, and some of the suppressive firepower such as grenadiers began to shift to the Western Highlands. Some of the soldiers of the reinforced company were hit by the grenades that came at them, and they fell in the trenches, groaning.
