Chapter 602: Frontier Position
The scorching heat did not stop the devil's attack, and with the end of the fire test on the defenders' positions in various places in Wushimen in the morning, the full-scale attack began non-stop.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
A large cloud of smoke and dust rose from the artillery position of the devils, and immediately there were whistling shells smashing into the positions of the defenders.
"The devil has fired! Dodge the cannons! ”
As soon as the devil's three test shots landed on the position, the company platoon commanders gave orders one after another from various firing positions.
Both recruits and veterans have learned that the devil's artillery fire is powerful, and it is really where to fight, and the power is huge.
Many veterans have unforgettable memories of the devil's artillery fire, and when they first fought with the devil, they did not build an anti-artillery hole because they did not know the power of the devil's artillery fire.
Only under the first round of artillery fire from the devils, sometimes the entire company and platoon of people were blown to minced flesh, so that when the devil infantry rushed to the position with bayonets, the surviving brothers were no longer able to resist the devil's attack.
Therefore, in the early stage of the battle, many positions were lost in a daze, and many troops were lost in a daze.
And now, after such bloody battles with the little devils again and again, both the surviving veterans and the Chinese commanders are growing up and learning lessons from the war and tragic casualties.
And the recruits who were later added to the army were undoubtedly lucky, because of the countless sacrifices in front of them, so that they would not be blown up and killed before they saw the devil.
The brothers withdrew from their firing positions to the fortifications, and as soon as their front feet stepped into the trenches, the devil's shells exploded in the trenches behind them.
"Boom...... Rumble......"
The devil's cannonballs fell overwhelmingly, and the deafening sound resounded throughout the space in an instant, and the brothers' ears were buzzing and they were instantly deaf.
"Don't lie on the ground, stand up and grow your mouth! Grow your mouth! ”
Seeing the recruits huddled in the anti-artillery holes and covering their ears, the veterans kicked and shouted at them one by one so that they would not be shocked to death.
At the beginning, many of them were not killed under the heavy bombardment of devils, but then they died inexplicably in a daze, and later learned that they were shocked to death.
The devil's shells raged in the positions, and the explosions kicked up the mud and sand in the sky, and the sandbags on those positions were also destroyed and blown to pieces.
Under the violent tremors, the whole position was like a flat boat in a rough sea, crumbling, as if it could capsize at any moment.
The mud and camouflage branches and dead grass that covered the fortifications trembled, and the earth fell through the cracks in the logs, forming a waterfall of mud, which poured into the collars of the brothers.
"The devil's artillery fire is really tight, but it's a pity that our artillery can only hide and dare not come out."
In the hidden brigade headquarters, the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao held a telescope and looked at the position in front of him covered by the devil's artillery fire, and said with some discouragement.
"The little devil's plane is staring at the sky, so let's not be fooled."
The brigade chief of staff pointed to the group of devil planes circling along the mountains and said indignantly.
The devils are now also shrewd, trying to lure the artillery units of the Chinese army to return fire through artillery bombardment, and their bomber groups can be destroyed by taking advantage of the situation.
But the commanders of the Chinese army are not stupid, and the artillery units are their baby bumps, so they will not be stupidly exposed and destroyed.
The thick black smoke of gunpowder wafted up, and the forward position had been obscured, and from time to time you could see the blown crosswood tumbling in the smoke, and the vision in the telescope was becoming blurred.
"Pass my order, all regiments must hold their positions, and if anyone dares to take a step back, I will remove him!" Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao's voice became sharp.
"Yes!" The staff officer hurriedly turned around and ran to the phone, conveying orders to the troops at the front.
The artillery bombardment lasted for a full fifteen minutes before it stopped, and the entire forward position had been blown into a mess, and many trenches had collapsed.
"Get up! Get ready for battle! ”
The company platoon commanders heard that the devil's cannon had stopped, and hurriedly patted the shoulders of the brothers who were covering their ears and told them to go out and prepare for battle.
The brothers' ears were still buzzing, and the scorching air swept into the bomb holes, choking many of the brothers with coughs.
The brethren rushed out of the bomb holes with guns and ammunition boxes on their backs, and the blinding sunlight shone through the gray smoke of gunpowder, preventing many people from opening their eyes.
When they opened their eyes, they saw that the original position was in disarray, with smoking craters everywhere and sandbags scattered in a mess.
"Quick! Quick, get into position! ”
The platoon commanders of the company who rushed out first had already seen a group of shirtless devils with grenades on their bodies in the distance already pulling a few straggler lines, and hurriedly and loudly urged the recruits to enter the position.
Recruit Luo Wencai panted and threw himself on his battle position, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust, not caring for breathing, and hurriedly put his 79 rifle on the trench.
Only then did he cautiously poke out half of his head and look outside, and saw that a few hundred meters away, a large group of devils were bent down and quickly pounced.
He took a few deep breaths to calm his chaotic heartbeat, and then pulled out three grenades, unscrewed the bottom cover safe, and placed them in a convenient position.
Although most of the brothers are new recruits, they are also recruits who have fought a battle, and they do not need too much urging and reminders from the veterans, and they can already know what they are doing, instead of being overwhelmed as before.
Each brother was separated by three or four metres from each other's skirmishers, and at least two light machine guns were placed behind each section of the trench.
And on the gentle slope up their trenches, five heavy machine guns also showed hideous muzzles, but they would not be exposed to fire unless it was an emergency.
"Whoosh-"
The devil had already rushed to the firing range, and the brothers didn't shoot, but the little devils covered each other and shot first.
Shots rang out, and scorching bullets swept across the buffer zone between the two sides, striking the brothers, sending up a puff of mud that jumped so violently that they had to bow their heads to prevent the splashes of mud from falling into their eyes.
"Let the grenadiers connect me to aim at the open space in front of the barbed wire fence and shoot freely."
Yang Ling had also been observing the movements of the devils, seeing that they had touched the interception net composed of barbed wire, and calmly gave an order.
"Grenadier Company, the regimental seat orders you to aim at the open space in front of the barbed wire fence and shoot freely!"
The signal soldier quickly shook the phone in the trench and shouted loudly.
"Got it!" Su Er, the new company commander of the grenadier company, answered and hung up the phone.
Yang Ling and the others set up the grenadiers for less than two days, and it was impossible to make the brothers master them skillfully in these two days.
The grenades fired by the brethren did not have a single target, so the quality was not enough, and the quantity was to make up, but they had nearly thirty grenadiers, and this density covered it, and the little devil could not hope to please him.
