Chapter 133: Huo Xiaoshan's Positional Battle (1)
"If you don't want to be killed by the little devil's plane cannon, dig it quickly!" Ma Liancai shouted and scolded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
During the most of the day that he and Shen Chong Huo Xiaoshan left, the big pit behind the main position was facing the side wall of the offensive direction, and more than 30 anti-artillery holes of different sizes had been dug out.
The big one can hide a few people, the small one can only hide one, this hilly mountain stone and soil are mixed, it is very difficult to dig, but this can also be regarded as the prototype of the anticline fortification.
It's just that Ma Liancai still thinks that the soldiers' movements are too slow, and he still patrols back and forth.
Huo Xiaoshan did not dig fortifications on the anticline.
However, he was desperately digging a foxhole sixty or seventy meters away from the flank of the main defense fortifications of the line.
He dug so crazy, threw off his shirt, **** his upper body, shoveled soil with a pickaxe, and sweated profusely.
On the other side of the position, there were also two soldiers digging foxholes in the same way, but their movements were much slower than Shen Xiaoshan's.
These two soldiers were the 74th Army's retreat from the Songhu battlefield, and on the way to the army, they were just captured and confiscated by ordinary people.
But to be precise, these two captured strong men are not strong at all.
The two of them have the same yellow face and thin muscles, they haven't even shot yet, and they don't have the strength to dig desperately like this.
From time to time, they looked at Huo Xiaoshan with surprised eyes, and they couldn't figure out why this person was digging the fortifications like crazy, as if someone was forcing him with a gun from behind.
The people on the left and right sides of the line were actually digging observation posts at Ma Liancai's request.
Ma Liancai's idea was the same as what Huo Xiaoshan and Shen Chong discussed at that time. Considering that although the fortifications were strong, the Japanese artillery fire was by no means vegetarian, so it was decided to let most of the people hide in the anti-incline holes when the Japanese shelled them.
Observation posts were set up at both ends of the line position, so that when the Japanese infantry began to attack, they could call the people in the anti-artillery holes to come up and defend themselves against the enemy.
The two groups on either side of the position were digging the bunkers of the observation posts.
Huo Xiaoshan chose the location of digging a bunker, naturally away from the place where the enemy's artillery fire hit, and not too far away, otherwise even if he had a copper whistle in his hand to greet the soldiers on the anti-slope plane, it was possible that the people below would not be able to hear it.
Although the two recruits also followed Huo Xiaoshan's advice, they were not active, they still thought that the reinforced concrete fortifications were safer.
As a veteran, Ma Liancai naturally knew the importance of fortifications, coupled with the descriptions of the heavy weapons of the Japanese army by the veterans who had retreated from the Songhu battlefield, so after releasing cold guns on the devil's sharp soldiers, he hurried back and urged the soldiers to hurry up and dig anti-artillery holes on the anti-slope.
It's just that the Japanese didn't give them much time, although they dug fortifications for a day, and only let the soldiers sleep for six hours at night, but the next day dawned when the enemy was already there.
The four buzzing Japanese planes flew in from the sky first, and their first choice for bombing the target was naturally the main position of Niushou Mountain, Ma Liancai Huo Xiaoshan and several other soldiers in charge of lookout stayed in the individual bunker dug up, and at the same time Ma Liancai ordered the soldiers in the anticline not to stop, and then dug a cannon hole.
Huo Xiaoshan was also the first time he saw a Japanese plane.
The dive bomber dropped the bomb at an altitude of four or five hundred meters, and Huo Xiaoshan saw some small black dots as small as raindrops falling on the plane, and then the explosion sounded boom, boom, boom.
On the main position of Niushou Mountain, more than a dozen huge black pillars of smoke suddenly rose, and then the top of the pillar of smoke began to spread around, turning into a mushroom-like shape.
The momentum of the bombing, Huo Xiaoshan couldn't imagine whether the reinforced concrete fortifications of the main position could withstand the devil's aerial bombs, I am afraid that it is, no, it must have been shattered.
The smoke and dust of the explosion dispersed, obscuring the sky and the sun, like the end of the world.
I don't know what happened to Shen Chong on the main position, Huo Xiaoshan was a little worried.
Shen Chong received a message from the general commander of the main position before dawn, and several other soldiers were sent to the main position by Ma Liancai to receive another heavy machine gun, but they were blocked by the bombardment of the devils on the main position.
"There's a plane coming!" Huo Xiaoshan's eyes were sharp, and his shout woke up the people who were still in shock.
"Hurry up and hide!" Ma Liancai shouted, but he stood up, "I have to go down there and see them!" When he said they meant that the soldiers of his company were still digging underneath.
He turned and ran to the top of the anticline, sat down on the ground, and went straight down the slope.
In the roar of the plane getting closer and closer, mixed with the sound of Ma Liancai shouting and roaring for the soldiers to hurry into the anti-artillery hole, Huo Xiaoshan kept staring at the plane that was getting closer and closer.
The target of the bombing by this plane was obviously the flank position of Huo Xiaoshan and his company.
The plane got closer and closer, and then it dived down, Huo Xiaoshan saw several bombs that had grown from small to large dropped with a sharp whistle, one of which was smashing on the defense fortifications not far from his stealth, and the fortifications that he thought were very strong turned into countless fragments in an instant and flew around, and then, smoke and dust suddenly rose.
Huo Xiaoshan shrank backwards and slipped to the bottom of the bunker, and then shrank again, entering a skirmish hole on the side of the bunker that was just able to accommodate himself.
As soon as the round of bombing by the devil plane ended, Huo Xiaoshan came out of the anti-artillery hole with a disgraced face.
But before he straightened his waist, he heard a "whoosh" sound in his ears, Huo Xiaoshan was startled, and shrank back into the small anti-artillery hole.
But when I heard a roar, the air waves were churning, and then the gravel and dust were pouring down from the sky, and this sound was even more fierce than the bombing of enemy planes.
It turned out that a large-caliber artillery shell exploded, and its landing point was a few points closer to the foxhole where Huo Xiaoshan was hiding than the bomb dropped by the plane just now, and the dirt lifted up was directly buried in half of the foxhole where he was hiding.
Fortunately, the anti-artillery hole where he was located was below, and he was not hit by the shrapnel in all directions, only the dust that rushed to his face choked Huo Xiaoshan and coughed involuntarily.
Huo Xiaoshan spit out the foam in his mouth, and was just about to get up, when he heard the sound just now ringing again, but the sound was much quieter, but it was connected into a piece.
Immediately afterward, fire and dust rose from their positions.
It turned out that the first gun just now was a test firing of Japanese artillery, and the back row of guns was the protagonist.
Huo Xiaoshan had a happy look in his eyes.
This test projectile of the Japanese army is really evil, and if it moves a few meters, it will directly hit his foxhole, and in that case, he doesn't have to think about fighting devils.
And the corrected fire of the Japanese artillery was so accurate that several large pillboxes on the main position were blown up in the first few shells, but this did not hurt him in the slightest.
The plane flew away, the shelling was over, and Huo Xiaoshan finally climbed to the edge of the foxhole, and the position was already full of devastation in the smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed.
The main pillbox, which originally looked very powerful on the line, has been lifted up, only half of the remnants remain, and many large pits two or three meters deep have been blown out in the place in front of the position, and the low trees and grass are burning, and black smoke is steaming upwards.
Because Huo Xiaoshan was on the side of the position, the smoke did not block their view.
He first heard the dull sound of heavy machine gun fire, and when he looked at the sound, he could see the figure of a Japanese tank in front of the main position of Niushou Mountain, and the Japanese soldiers like soybean grains could be vaguely seen behind him.
"This devil is really fierce!" Ma Liancai didn't know when he climbed to Huo Xiaoshan's side, followed by a few veterans of dung balls.
Six or seven people lay on the edge of the foxhole and looked in the direction of the main peak position.
"Why doesn't it rain when it's thundering, why haven't you seen the devils attacking us?" Huo Xiaoshan was a little strange, and moved his gaze to the front of his position, there was a high post about two hundred meters in front of him, and if the Japanese army attacked, it would definitely come out from there.
"If they can't beat the main peak, they will hit us here, so we can circle the main peak from here." The dung ball gestured with his hand and made a hugging pose. Although he can't read a single big character, he is a veteran after all, and he still knows the tactics of the Japanese army.
"That's a roundabout, stupid." Ma Liancai gave a sentence to the dung ball.
The dung ball stretched out his dirty hand and scratched his head.
"Looks like the little devil won't be able to hit us here for half a while." Ma Liancai muttered, and then pointed to the dung ball, "You, go down and let the people below continue to dig holes." ā
The dung ball agreed, and hurriedly shrank back, but did not get up, and crawled past the highest point of the line, and went back to pass the word.
He was originally small, his head was very low when he climbed, but his buttocks were very high, and even the posture of climbing and rolling was how ugly and ugly it was, but it was extremely numb.
Suddenly, several people who remained on the battlefield chuckled together at his funny appearance.
The guns and cannons on the main position were constantly firing, and the fighting was in full swing.
In the anticline fortifications of Ma Liancai's flank position, the soldiers began to dig a hole desperately again, there was no way, the firepower was not as good as others, and this hole was used to save their lives.
And Ma Liancai was on the surface position with Huo Xiaoshan and a few veterans while observing the situation of the main peak and studying how to fight devils. (To be continued.) )
