Chapter 427: Positional Battle on Zhang Gu Mountain
He glared at a few recruits who had not recovered from the love of killing so many devils from the first time, and shouted, "Dig the fortifications!" Huo Xiaoshan found a sapper shovel from the Japanese army and flew up!
Because Huo Xiaoshan understood that at the moment when they occupied the top of the mountain, the attack and defense had been displaced, and they were about to bear the steel and explosives of the Japanese army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Huo Xiaoshan naturally understands that when it is time to fight a positional battle, it must be fought, and holding Zhang Gushan is of great significance to encircling and annihilating the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, even if this company, including himself, is thrown on this mountain? To be a soldier is to have the consciousness of sacrificing one's life for the country.
Under Huo Xiaoshan's strict orders and under the traditional education of the Quartermaster Department, which was the best at digging pits, the soldiers led by Huo Xiaoshan immediately took action, and they worked hard to dig pickaxes and planers on the walls of the large pits that the Japanese army already had, and strive to dig out some more skirmish holes covered with soil.
Before setting off last night, Huo Xiaoshan had already stressed the importance of digging a pit and digging a hole after occupying the top of the mountain.
There are basically no trees on the southern slope, and there are not many trees on the northern slope, not to mention that there may not be time to cut them.
Therefore, do not expect to use trees to cover the big pit and press two or three meters of soil on top of it, only by digging a small hole in the wall of the big pit can withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese planes and artillery.
So even if you don't have time to dig a small hole where you can hide your head, you have to hide your head in it and expose your ass! That's the key to saving your life, and one more shovel you might miss one less shrapnel!
When the brigade commander of the 153rd Brigade ordered his soldiers to start digging deep fortifications, he saw that Huo Xiaoshan and his company's soldiers had already dug the position into dust.
At this time, the brigade commander had a great impression of Huo Xiaoshan, just because the position that Huo Xiaoshan dug was the closest to the Japanese attack.
Although the area of Zhanggu Mountain is not large, and the Japanese army will basically be indistinguishable when they come to bomb, they can choose the most central position for defense, which reflects a spirit of courage and sacrifice.
Huo Xiaoshan really didn't have time to care about what the brigade commander was thinking at this time, he was digging desperately, and the strength he used now even exceeded the one he used when he climbed the hill before dawn!
It's just that the Japanese army really didn't have much time left for them to dig holes, and more than half an hour later, the sky was already bright, and more than 20 Japanese bombers had already drilled out of the clouds.
The Chinese army did not have any anti-aircraft weapons at this time, so the Japanese planes swooped down one after another with impunity, and the screaming aerial bombs fell on Zhanggu Mountain in rows.
In the dust and smoke, everyone's eardrums were already buzzing, and the distance was gone, the position was gone, the soldiers were gone, and all that could be seen was the dust and sand and smoke and the blazing barbecue stirred up by the air waves.
There is a reason that man will conquer the sky, but sometimes it is really just human wishful thinking, and in such a bombardment, the Chinese soldiers, who had just rejoiced in the victory, could only pray in the big pit and in the small hole or resign themselves to fate.
The commander of the 153rd Brigade had withdrawn to a fortification in the most remote position on the mountain, and Rao did not avoid the bombing of Japanese planes.
A bomb exploded not far away, and the ore floating soil that exploded instantly buried the lower half of his body, and even the steel helmet on his head was shaken by the explosion of air, if it weren't for the hat band hanging on his chin, he had no doubt that his steel helmet would be lifted out!
Through the choking smoke of gunpowder, he watched as many soldiers struggled and rolled in the sea of fire caused by the bomb on the top of the mountain.
Those are all veterans brought out by themselves, the mortal body can't withstand the tyranny of the Japanese army's firearms, and it is natural for him to die for the country by sacrificing his life to go to the country, but he didn't even see the shadow of the attacking devil, and the veteran who had been on the battlefield died here for a long time, so why could he bear it?
The bombing lasted for two hours, and when the Japanese planes flew away, the entire Zhanggushan had changed its appearance, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the craters increased dramatically, and the surviving soldiers came out of the soil one after another and began to set up guns to rescue the wounded.
Just when the brigade commander was feeling helpless and angry, he saw that Huo Xiaoshan and his company were in the formation, and the dust was rising again, but it was another soldier among them who had dug a small hole in the edge of the big pit at the moment when the plane had just flown away.
At the same time, he saw a sturdy soldier firing a heavy machine gun, and it turned out that he had hidden the Makqin in a freshly dug individual hole before the bombing by the Japanese planes.
The soldiers of Huo Xiaoshan's company really have a tacit understanding, and there are both those who dig holes in each hidden soldier cave and those who lie on the edge of the pit with guns ready to shoot.
But the Japanese were obviously in a hurry, and as the Japanese frenzied attack began, the soldiers who had dug the holes could only then go into battle.
And when this fight started, they no longer had a chance to dig a hole, because the Japanese army used a rotational attack, and as soon as this attack was repulsed, the other group rushed up again.
The commanders and fighters of the Chinese army did not know that just behind the mountain in front of them, which they could not see with the naked eye, the Japanese army had prepared more than 2,000 men.
This is a bloody battle, from dawn to dark, both sides poke the shield with spears, and the corpses on Zhang Gu Mountain are piled up like a mountain.
The 14 years of the Anti-Japanese War were magnificent, and the battles recorded in the historical materials were destined to be tragic at that time.
A few years later, Koshi recalled in his interview: "This kind of positional warfare is the most brutal, and the defending side must be driven here like a nail."
I don't remember how many battles I fought during the Anti-Japanese War, but my memory of that battle is the deepest and the most enjoyable.
At that time, I had not seen the tide of the sea, but through that battle I knew what the tide of the sea was.
Really, the devil's attack was really like a tidal wave, rushing up, and we were disabled with guns and grenades, and then they went down with a 'bang'.
But then the next wave arrived, and we had to keep fighting, and the devil who jumped over the wall in a hurry didn't give you a chance to breathe.
By the afternoon, many of the fortifications were running out of ammunition, so the leader asked our squad to deliver ammunition.
What? You ask, which is more dangerous, sending ammunition or putting guns in the fortifications? That must be dangerous to send ammunition!
You know, there were no trenches, we had twelve people delivering ammunition at the time, and in the end there were only three left after this battle.
But we had to send it, because I didn't fight much at that time, and the veterans were accurate in marksmanship.
Really, the first time I saw the veterans show their marksmanship in battle, it was a pleasure to watch them fight, and I felt that I really didn't give away the ammunition in vain, even if I died.
I saw that Hanzi's heavy machine gun was red for a while, so I had to rest, you know, the gun was not rifled.
Then he held the light machine gun and fired, all in a few bursts.
Shen Tou'er, Qiuzi, and Shi Biao are all unique at shooting, and it's almost the same if they kill one with one shot.
What? You ask Huo Xiaoshan!
I've never called him a big name, I've always called him a leader.
It was a must to see our leader shoot a gun, he always shot half a beat faster than others, and in the same way, if someone else fired four shots, he could shoot five or even six shots.
Later, when I finished delivering the ammunition, I was shot in the leg, so I put bullets into the gun for him in the pit at our head.
The head is alternately used with three guns, why? Listen to me slowly!
He used two rifles, one in the formal, one in the three-eight big cover, this is not simple, you have to know that the recoil of the two guns is not the same.
But the boss just picked it up and shot it, and he could shoot it.
I didn't shoot as fast as he could shoot, and when I ran out of bullets, he shot with the box with the wooden box on it.
Our battle lasted from dawn to dusk, and I pressed the bullets for most of the afternoon on my head, and my hands were numb.
I was curious, so I asked the boss how many devils he had killed.
Because I heard Shen Tou'er say that when you shoot, you can always remember how many devils you shoot, and how many bullets are left in the gun.
Bite? You also want to know how many devils our leader has killed? Hehe, the boss won't say it!
I don't care, I'm younger than him, I just asked vigorously, anyway, he has a good temper.
He said how many bullets did you put on me in the afternoon, and you haven't counted them in your mind?
I'll do the math, Mom!
I've got to weigh four or five hundred rounds of ammunition in an afternoon!
Then the leader laughed and said I had miscalculated.
I said I was wrong, and the boss said that my own box cannon didn't have three boxes.
Boy, are you shocked? Silly, right? Trembling, huh?
It's impossible to have a hundred shots in battle, but I'm sure that even if our leader hits half of the rate, do you count how many devils he killed?
No wonder Shen Tou'er said that he is the real God of Killing, really, he is a God of Killing!
Later, the boss also told me that if I knew it, I was not allowed to say it, and I never said it!
What? What did I say now, you ask?
Damn, what years are it now, my grandchildren are older than when I fought devils!
What? What do we have, you ask? What are the disadvantages?
If you want to talk about shortcomings, of course, he also has them, and I want to see that he has two.
One is that he refuses to be a big official, if he is judged by his military exploits, he will definitely be able to be a big official, but he just presses his military exploits and never reports it.
There is another one, that is, his temper is too good and his heart is too good, I remember that once in order to save a child who was captured by the devil, he was the head of the regiment at the time, but he touched into the devil's camp and rescued the child.
You say, what about a regimental commander with more than 2,000 people, do you still need him for this? Don't drop! He was like that, he never felt that his life was more valuable than other people's money.
Why do you say this is a plus?!
Boy, you don't understand, if this is an advantage as a soldier, but in a regiment commander who manages more than 2,000 people, it can't be called an advantage.
He never refused to let his soldiers be cannon fodder, unless he was forced to do so, so he was not a big official, do you think which officer didn't step on the bones of the soldier and ascended? ā
