Hearing a familiar voice in their ears, Du Kaishan and Qin Zesheng were startled. 【. com text] hurriedly got up, although he did not salute on the battlefield according to the regulations, but his voice changed: "No. 1, why did you come here?" The devils have arranged heavy artillery in the depths of the temple ridge, and it is too dangerous for you to come here. ”
Du Kaishan, who didn't expect Yang Zhen to appear on the front-line battlefield of Honey Mountain, was really frightened by Yang Zhen's appearance. Especially when Yang Zhen was seriously injured in an attack by his side last time, and Du Kaishan's heart knot had not been completely opened, he was even more frightened, for fear that Yang Zhen would be in any danger.
Although Du Kaishan's command post was no longer on the front line at this time, he retreated to a depression about 900 meters away from the main battlefield. But this place is still within the range of the fire of the Japanese artillery on the 458 heights in front of it.
Seeing that Du Kaishan was a little anxious, Yang Zhen raised his binoculars and observed the battlefield while saying with a smile: "Why are you allowed to come, but not me?" Don't forget, I was also killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and you were all brought out by me. Well, don't be nervous and relax. ”
"If you're all so nervous, we'll all be out of luck if you're spotted by the devil's artillery observation post and a shell comes over. Tell me how the battle has got. And after most of the battle, what do you think of this fortress group? ”
Knowing that as long as No. 1 made up his mind not to leave, unless he forcibly left, Du Kaishan, who would not leave at all because of a few words from himself, shook his head helplessly and immediately reported the battle situation in front of him. He only hoped that after he had done his best to report, Number One would get out of this danger zone as soon as possible.
Du Kaishan pointed to the 458 Heights that were in the fierce battle in front of him and said: "No. 1, this 458 Heights in front of us is the outpost position of the entire Japanese Honey Mountain Fortress Group. Judging only by the exposure to the ground, there were four gun emplacements in the ridge position, and four field guns were deployed. ”
"All the bunkers of these artillery fortifications are all made of concrete, and the thickness is about two meters on the front, and even on the sides is about one and a half meters. At present, the 75-mm field artillery equipped by our unit basically does not pose any threat to it, and the 75-mm field artillery shells can only explode a white spot. ”
"On the mountainside, there are two large semi-permanent fortification complexes that were built using the terrain. Its firing range can form crossfire, which is enough to cover the combat range of 120 degrees in front of the mountain. Its firepower configuration is two 75 mountain guns, 3 92 infantry guns, and five mortars. Six heavy machine guns. In addition, the number of configurations of light machine guns and grenadiers was not a few. ”
On the flanks of these two semi-permanent fortification groups, a number of fire points of civil structures were set up. Although these cover points were civil buildings, they were covered with steel plates and logs, and it was difficult for our 75-mm mountain shells to penetrate even if they hit the top directly. ”
"The entire firing point of the Japanese army on the mountainside was deployed around two semi-permanent fortification groups, distributed in a plum blossom shape. Each fortification was connected by an overlying communication trench, and a large number of backfire points were set up around each fortification. Each back-firing point is equipped with an average of one light machine gun and one grenadier canister. ”
In addition, the Japanese army built a large number of bunkers in the leg of the mountain. Judging by the exposed parts alone, there are more than two dozen of them. These bunkers are interconnected with each other through underground passages and can be used to coordinate with each other. From the current point of view, the entire mountain has been hollowed out by the Japanese army. ”
"There are underground passages connecting the various permanent fortifications and semi-permanent fortifications of the Japanese army. These passages were built from the basement level below the mountain to the position of the ridged artillerymen. Moreover, judging from the fact that the Japanese army can quickly transfer troops to reinforce the 458 heights, this hill is also connected with a secret passage to the camel peak behind. ”
Not only that, but the Japanese also built a secret sortie with excellent concealment in the leg of the mountain, so that they could counterattack the attacking troops from behind at any time. When our army was digging into the tunnel, it encountered a tactical counterattack from the Japanese army's secret attack through the guò channel. It was precisely by taking advantage of the secret passage of the Japanese army that was identified when the Japanese counterattack was repelled that our army rushed into the Japanese fortification group. ”
"Now our battle situation is that our army adopts the use of rocket launchers and cluster grenades and 37 guns to cooperate with each other to knock out the Japanese flank covering fortifications first. The tactics of using a large amount of cement to plug the firing holes or using flamethrowers to burn permanent and semi-permanent fortifications that cannot be destroyed for a while have taken up surface positions. ”
"The first and second floors of the Japanese fortification complex were also occupied within the mountain, and their underground cisterns were destroyed and their ammunition depots were occupied. However, the Japanese blew up all the passages for the upward attack, and all the upward attacks of our troops were blocked. And in the battle in the direction of the ridge line, because the Japanese army relied on the anti-slope position and the secret passage to transfer reinforcements, it was still in contention. ”
At the same time, the heavy artillery groups and field artillery groups deployed by the Japanese army in the Miaoling area are also supporting their defense and contention for the ridge line with intensive artillery fire. Judging from the shells fired by the Japanese troops at Miaoling, there were at least six or more 150 heavy howitzers and two or more heavy cannons. As for whether there are other large-caliber heavy artillery, it is not yet known. ”
"One, the battle now is mainly focused on the position of the ridge. The Japanese heavy artillery in the direction of Miaoling was also almost all concentrated near the ridge line. The key problem now is that most of the Japanese troops are deployed on anti-slope positions at this time, and the field artillery cannot hit them, and there are too many dead ends in the mountain artillery. Among them, the biggest threat to our army is the heavy artillery group in the direction of Miaoling. ”
"Because most of the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, except for the part on the camel peak, is deployed in the direction of Miaoling in depth, the distance is too far, our army cannot judge the heavy artillery position of the Japanese army at all, and the error in judging the ballistics of the Japanese army alone is too large. At present, we cannot see, hit, or penetrate the Japanese heavy artillery group in the direction of Miaoling, and we are helpless and almost passively beaten. ”
"There is very little we can do until we take the hump. This is also the reason why I am ready to use a large number of ** and adopt the method of concentrated blasting to solve this four, five, eight highland first. ”
Speaking of this, Du Kaishan hesitated for a moment and said: "No. 1, after interrogation, the Japanese prisoners captured have found out that the Japanese troops here are not the Japanese Third Country Border Garrison of the Banjie River Fortress Group. Rather, it was the 12th Border Garrison formed with part of the 11th Division as the backbone. ”
"Its troop configuration is the same as that of the garrison of the third country, which is 1,500 people. Its strength is divided into six infantry squadrons, two machine gun squadrons, eight artillery squadrons, and three engineer squadrons. There were 10 150 heavy howitzers, 105 and 150 cannons, 6 75 field guns and 6 mountain guns, as well as infantry guns and a small number of mortars. Judging from the current situation of the battle, the prisoner's confession should be true. ”
Listening to Du Kaishan's battle report, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and said, "I already know about this situation, we have seized a secret file repository of the Japanese army in Dong'an. Although the specific structure of these two Japanese fortresses has not been found, there has been a lot of gain in terms of their strength and firepower allocation. ”
"You are not superstitious about the information of your superiors, and you can make your own accurate judgments, which you have done quite well. If it weren't for your proposal to take all your forces into the battle, judging by the current situation of the war, our attack would most likely have failed. ”
"We have no experience in storming such a fortress group, and we lack the best weapons to deal with such a fortress group, high-powered heavy artillery and concrete-destroying shells. From the early morning to now, you have occupied the surface positions in only half a day, and you have also penetrated the interior of the Japanese fortifications. In such a short period of time, it's quite good to play like this. By the standards of the First World War, it can even be described as extremely exciting. ”
"The difficulties you are encountering have also been thought of by HQ. In order to cooperate with you in the war, the military region's aviation unit has dispatched planes to carry out a comprehensive reconnaissance of the entire Miaoling and Banjiehe areas. It also concentrated its existing forces and prepared to take air strikes against the Japanese heavy artillery fortifications and their permanent fortifications. ”
"In order to cooperate with your attack, the arsenal has worked overtime to produce some bombs. HQ has decided to use all of these bombs for battles on your side. However, our production capacity is still limited, and even if we work overtime, the number is not much. However, with the cooperation of the air force, your battle will be much easier. ”
Hearing Yang Zhen mention the matter of air support, Du Kaishan shook his head and said: "No. 1, judging from the few permanent fortifications of the Japanese army that we are currently occupying, even an air attack may be difficult to achieve." These Japanese permanent fortifications were generally built with large reinforced concrete. ”
"The thickness of the reinforced concrete on the front is basically about one to two meters, and even more than three meters in some places. Whether it is a permanent fortification, a semi-permanent fortification, or even a basic civil fortification and a communication trench, it is basically covered with steel plates, and even armor steel plates. ”
"After seeing it, the commander of one of our engineer companies reported directly to me that these permanent and semi-permanent fortification groups were all built according to the standard of defending against 150 mm heavy artillery. Its top can resist the standard of direct hits of bombs under 500 kg. ”
"Even those civil fortifications, the tops can mostly withstand a direct hit from fifty to one hundred kilograms of bombs. Unless we are equipped with bombs of more than 500 kilograms, I am afraid that the bombs of our air force, which are no more than 100 kilograms, will be helpless against them. ”
"No. 1, on behalf of all the officers and men of the army, thank you. But if the entire Japanese fortress complex in Honey Mountain was built according to this standard, there would not be much need for our bombers to come. Instead of spending 1ang for nothing, those bombs should be redeployed to support other battlefields that are more needed. ”
Regarding Du Kaishan's worries, Yang Zhen put down the telescope in his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Ordinary bombs can't deal with these well-built fortifications, but the new bombs we are equipped with may be different. This kind of bomb was specially developed to deal with such fortifications as the Japanese army, and you can be regarded as a second testing ground here. ”
