Chapter 36: The Great Victory of the Lugou Bridge (1)

"Hi" After hearing the order of the commander, the standard-bearer in charge of signaling immediately issued a signal sign to the artillery below the hill to start shelling.

Bang bang

The dense artillery shells soon completely covered the fortifications and positions built by the independent battalion. The defensive positions built by Liu Li and their team were completely vulnerable under the powerful artillery fire of the Kwantung Army, and they were soon blown up.

Liu Li saw the power of the Japanese artillery fire, and secretly took a breath of cold air, thanks to listening to Wang Liang's words to dodge the artillery, otherwise the soldiers would have exploded to the flesh and blood.

Jin Zhenzhong, who was in the rear, also saw this scene with a telescope, and couldn't help but start to worry about Wang Liang. This kid has been out with the commandos for more than a day, and there is no movement at all. Didn't you say to attack the artillery positions of the Kwantung Army? According to the time, it should have arrived at the destination a long time ago, but the devil's artillery fire is still so fierce, there must be some accident.

No, a team must be sent to pick it up, Wang Liang, this kid can't just die, he should play a greater value. For Wang Liang, Jin Zhenzhong has other plans.

"The Sea"

"To" Li Dahai became the commander of the guard platoon after Liu Rui left the guard platoon, and now there are more than 50 people under his hands.

"Wang Liang, there may be something wrong with their assault team, you take your platoon to search in this direction. A principle, if you live to see people, you must see corpses when you die, and you must get Wang Liang and them back! Jin Zhenzhong pointed out the established course of action of the commando team led by Wang Liang on the map to Li Dahai and gave a death order.

"Then who will protect our battalion headquarters? Your safety..."Li Dahai's duty is to protect the safety of the battalion headquarters, and when he heard Jin Zhenzhong's order, he seemed a little hesitant this time.

"You don't have to worry about this, execute the order immediately. If it is not done well, I will remove you from your position. Jin Zhenzhong waved at him and asked him to quickly lead the team to set off.

"Yes," Li Dahai saluted Jin Zhenzhong and set off with the team.

Originally, Wang Liang was not in a hurry at all, and slowly moved towards the artillery position of the mountain artillery with the commando, after all, the commandos were already very tired. But after hearing the sound of cannons not far away, he panicked, what was going on? It doesn't make sense, the July 7 incident should have happened on July 7th, is there a mistake in the historical record? No, there must have been an accident, and it was too late to think about it in detail, Wang Liang hurriedly said to the commandos: "Quick, the target direction is the devil artillery position, run forward." ”

The shelling lasted nearly ten minutes, and after the scheduled shelling ended, the four Japanese wings launched the first round of attacks on Lugou Bridge and Wanping City.

"Still press the mouth, the rabbit will give it!" The people in charge of leading the charge were all lieutenant-level officers of the Kwantung Army, and they belonged to the junior officers, who were eager to get military merits in order to be promoted, so they were particularly fierce.

In the blink of an eye, the Kwantung Army pressed up.

"Get back to position!" Seeing that the artillery fire had stopped, Liu Li quickly commanded the soldiers to run into the fortifications.

With a distance of only five or six hundred meters, under the leadership of Liu Li, the soldiers ran back to the trench in a few minutes.

"Quick, fix the position. Checking the guns and ammunition, the devils immediately came up and prepared for battle. Liu Li ordered one after another.

The Kwantung Army, which was rushing to the front, was getting closer and closer to the position of Liu Li and his company, and the soldiers were holding their guns tightly and did not dare to pant loudly. Most of the soldiers in the team are new recruits, they have not fought with the devil a few times, and they have heard that the Japanese soldiers are heavenly soldiers and generals, and they cannot be killed. In addition, the Chinese army has not yet defeated the Japanese troops, and their confidence is also somewhat lacking.

"Don't be nervous, wait until I give me the order before firing." There is a minefield arranged by Wang Liang in front of the position, although he knows that the effect may not be too big, but it will always have some effect. Then wait for the devils to enter the minefield and then organize fire, and take them by surprise.

The Kwantung Army, which was walking in front, entered the minefield and stepped on the Type 66 anti-infantry directional mine specially made by Wang Liang.

Rumble! Bang!

Explosions rang out one after another, and thick smoke billowed and dust flew in front of the position. Then came a series of miserable howls.

"Ah~ my eyes!"

"Ah~"

Hearing the shouting, Liu Li secretly showed his head to observe, only to see that the Kwantung Army who rushed to the front was covered in blood, as if his whole body had been hit by bullets. Oh, Wang Liang's landmines are really ruthless, it's really terrible.

Seeing that the lieutenant who organized the charge was killed, the Kwantung Army soldiers were so frightened that they began to retreat. The older military cao roared angrily in Japanese: "Don't retreat, rush with me!" ”

Seeing Jun Cao rushing forward so desperately, the recruits had no choice but to follow the head, but they didn't know that more mines were waiting for them.

Boom, boom

"Ah~ah~"

"Help, help."

Many Japanese soldiers stepped on the mines, and the surrounding soldiers also suffered, and hundreds of steel balls popped out and penetrated their bodies under the action of high-intensity gunpowder, which was not ordinary pain.

"Please, give me a shot, give me a shot!" The Japanese soldier who was pierced through his body by the steel ball was in pain, and screamed frantically at his companions next to him, hoping that they could help him end the pain.

Seeing that the soldier Cao who rushed to the front died so terrifyingly, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who were still alive were so frightened that they began to run backwards, how could they take care of their injured companions.

In this way, the first wave of the devil's attack was blocked by Wang Liang's mines. Setsuro Shimizu felt angry when he saw the Kwantung Army fleeing in embarrassment. Before the people fired a shot, you ran around with your head in your hands, which was really a shame for the Imperial Japanese Army.

"Generate electricity for the mountain artillery, and bomb the enemy's strategic depth again, leaving no dead ends." Shimizu felt that the guarantee he had made with Kameda Hiyogu might not be realized, and the cunning of the Shina people greatly exceeded his expectations. So he decided to increase the intensity of artillery bombardment, his wife and children were waiting for him in Japan, and he didn't want to commit suicide.

After receiving the emergency telegram, the mountain artillery quickly organized artillery to carry out a new round of shelling. In accordance with Qing Shui's instructions, he deliberately widened the longitudinal distance of the artillery fire to increase the lethality of the enemy.

"Fire!"

Boom, boom,

More than forty artillery pieces fired in a salvo, and dozens of shells fell on the position in the blink of an eye.

Bang, bang, bang, boom....

The cannonballs set off huge waves of air, and the wind and sand blew up fascinated the eyes of the soldiers. As the depth increased, shells began to fall into the trenches.

"It's not good, get down!" Liu Li screamed at the helpless soldiers, but they couldn't hear it clearly because the sound of the shells exploding was so loud.

This method can only be used once, and time is the biggest test. After the second round of shelling, the advantage of the first company began to deflect.

Qing Shui took the glasses and was very satisfied with the situation in front of him, and the artillery fire completely suppressed the enemy army.

"Don't stop the shelling, order the troops to attack quickly, and don't leave any respite for the Chinese army." Qing Shui ordered to the adjutant beside him.

"Hayi"

After a while, a large wave of Kwantung Army soldiers poured up. At this time, the effect of Wang Liang's anti-infantry mines was not so obvious, and the queue of devils who rushed to the front was very scattered, and their purpose was not to attack, but to detonate all the mines that might exist.

Boom

Although explosions sounded from time to time, there were not many devils who fell. After seeing the soldiers in front of them so bravely, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army behind were also inspired and rushed forward in a crazy manner. With the coordination of infantry artillery, the Kwantung Army quickly broke through the minefield and was less than 100 meters away from the position.

"Hit!" Liu Li took the lead in firing the first shot and knocked out the raised flag bearer.

Bang bang bang da

Bullets weave across the battlefield, and from time to time people fall to the ground after being shot. The Kwantung Army's attack posture was very fierce, and the shells could almost hit around their own soldiers, which shows that the Japanese were frenzied.
