Chapter 138: Blocking and Sniping

In fact, the ability to repel the second attack of the Japanese army without danger relied on the advance precautions of Ma Liancai, Huo Xiaoshan and those veterans. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After repelling the devil's first attack, Ma Liancaihuo Xiaoshan and some veterans got together to study how to deal with the next attack of the Japanese army, and they expected that the Japanese army was likely to send tanks to help the battle.

In view of the shallow depth of the position, if the devil's tanks were allowed to break through the defense line and could not cut off the connection between the Japanese infantry and the tanks, then the position would definitely not be able to hold.

They came up with the idea of placing heavy machine guns and a moderate amount of light machine guns on both flanks, until the devil infantry was basically exposed to the muzzle of the flanks, then suppressing the infantry, blowing up the tanks, and engaging in white-knuckle combat.

This scenario is undoubtedly very risky, but it is also the only proactive measure that can be taken in a passive defensive situation.

IN FACT, THE ARMOR OF THE JAPANESE ARMY'S 98 TANK WAS ONLY 10MM THICK, AND A LARGER MOUNTAIN GUN COULD KILL IT, EVEN IF IT WAS LOADED WITH A STEEL CORE BULLET WITH A MEDIUM RIFLE, IT COULD ALSO PENETRATE IT, WHICH WAS COMPLETELY ACHIEVABLE AT THAT TIME.

But these are all afterthoughts, they are all summed up by later generations, and the poor Chinese soldiers at that time saw this small steel monster, but they really couldn't think of any good way, not to mention Huo Xiaoshan, they didn't even have a mortar, let alone a steel core bullet.

Naturally, they used the experience of the Songhu veterans, which was to use the tank to have a limited view after closing the observation window, so that the demoman could approach and blow up its tracks with a cluster grenade, and then use the pistol to kill the devil who had to open the observation window to see the situation.

Huo Xiaoshan had already carefully observed the tank when he shot the devil cold before the positional battle began, so he perfectly executed everyone's plan.

Although the process was thrilling, it was finally successful, and the connection between the tank and the infantry was also cut, and they finally held their positions by hand-to-hand combat.

It's just that everyone is not clear whether the Japanese army will send more tanks in the next round of attack, which has also become the biggest worry of the defenders.

At the same time, there was also bad news, the only heavy machine gun was finally damaged by the Japanese tank, and Shen Chong, who went to get another heavy machine gun, and several soldiers were blocked by the Japanese attack, so they lost their long-range threat to the Japanese army.

The last time I let go of the middle, the method of suppressing the infantry from both flanks with heavy firepower and cutting off the connection between the tank and the infantry will definitely not work, even if it can be used, the Japanese army with defense will also use grenadiers to suppress the firepower of the Chinese army for the first time, so this method will definitely not work, as for the casualties of the soldiers have reached more than 50 people, it is still bearable.

Ma Liancai, Huo Xiaoshan, like Dung Qiuzi, and several veterans who had participated in the Battle of Songhu got together to discuss how to deal with the third attack of the Japanese army.

I thought of several ways, but none of them were ideal, after all, this is a positional war, the position is deep and shallow, there is not too much room for maneuver, and in the end it is Ma Liancai who makes a decision, so let's shoot cold, from the beginning of the devil's appearance, and then carry it hard when I have to.

If the devils have tanks or even increase the number of tanks, then they can only leave observation posts on the positions as they did when repelling the first attack of the Japanese army, and most of the people will enter the anti-slope fortifications, and wait for the devils to rush to the front before blowing up the tanks and infantry in a white-knuckle battle.

It was a last resort to carry the Japanese attack, and in the current anti-Japanese frontal battlefield, the method adopted by the vast majority of Chinese troops means that the defenders will definitely pay a huge price under the attack of the Japanese army, which is completely superior in firepower, either all of them will collapse or all of them will be sacrificed.

In the interval between the Japanese attack, the soldiers began to dig a communication trench after the fortifications that were no longer in shape, especially in the places directly exposed to the sight of the Japanese army.

There were also soldiers who dug foxholes behind the ruins of relatively high fortifications, while others placed their rifles in relatively hidden places.

Behind the ruins of the fortifications, where the enemy's line of sight can see, dig a communication trench, which is convenient for timely transfer after the cold shot, to prevent being targeted by the Japanese army's special shooters and heavy firepower, and digging a foxhole is anti-artillery.

Huo Xiaoshan, Ma Liancai, and the rest of the dozen or so soldiers who are more accurate in marksmanship are the protagonists of this cold shot.

At the same time, more than twenty soldiers were arranged on the position, and they had two roles.

One is to seize the air and release a shot, which plays the role of attracting the enemy's attention and covering Huo Xiaoshan and their cold gunners.

And the other role was ordered by Ma Liancai, that is, they were required to always keep someone behind Huo Xiaoshan, in addition to helping to suppress the bullets, at the critical moment, they would rather die themselves than protect Huo Xiaoshan.

As for Ma Liancai's second arrangement, Huo Xiaoshan clearly refused at that time, but Ma Liancai, as a company commander, ignored Huo Xiaoshan's protests.

After all, Huo Xiaoshan was too important in the defensive role of this position, the frequency of shooting was extremely fast, and he was sure to hit when he raised his gun, and he was the absolute main force to kill and injure the living forces of the Japanese army.

The Japanese did not give them much time to prepare, and when some of the trenches they had dug were only more than half a meter deep, a new round of shelling began, so most of the soldiers withdrew to the anti-slope fortifications, leaving only the earliest personnel on the position.

The grenades sizzled through the position, and heavy machine-gun bullets sent stone chips flying from the ruins of the fortifications, but thankfully, no tanks were sent in the attack, and the actual attack was still a squad, more accurately, the only remaining squadron of the Japanese squadron responsible for the frontal attack.

The Japanese commander decided that it was not worth throwing too many troops into a non-main position, and was deeply unhappy that the squadron had suffered more than a hundred casualties without taking a single inconspicuous flank position.

The squadron leader was reprimanded and did not throw tanks into him, but ordered them to use their remaining forces to take the positions of the Shina troops in order to defend the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army.

This also made this squadron leader, who was perhaps the most unlucky since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, very anxious

The Japanese flanks were flanked by no mortars or other weapons, and the troops were attacked behind a high post 200 meters away.

However, as far as the defenders are concerned, fortunately, the terrain of about 200 meters is a flat river, and the defensive position is nearly 100 meters wide, and the Japanese heavy machine gun grenadiers can suppress this point, but they cannot suppress the other point, and there is always a lack of fire suppression.

On the defensive position shrouded in smoke and dust, Huo Xiaoshan put his gun behind a piece of broken concrete, and when the Japanese fire turned to other places, he saw that the attacking Japanese army had passed and appeared in his field of vision.

Hey, how does this group of Japanese soldiers look different from the previous two groups, Huo Xiaoshan took a closer look, only to find that this group of Japanese soldiers did not wear steel helmets, and they even had a white cloth strip tied on their heads.

Huo Xiaoshan has seen this kind of white cloth in the Japanese army, he has seen a Japanese samurai tied on his head when he was fighting in the ring in Tianjin, and there is a round plaster in front, Huo Xiaoshan knows that it is the national flag of the Japanese, but why is this?
