The three artillery positions behind Qingbaikou are on the south bank of the Yongding River. The six cannons kept firing shells, and finally completely crushed the 21st Field Artillery Wing of the 5th Brigade of the Little Devils.

Won't the little devil fight back? Of course not.

Because the artillery position of the Fangshan Independent Regiment was on the top of the mountain, it was condescending, and the field artillery was used as a direct-fire gun and a curved artillery, and it was in a state of "natural range" range.

For example, the effective firing range of the 75mm field artillery was originally only 11.5 km, but now it has reached 14 km, and the Taisho 14-style 105mm cannon, which has an effective firing range of 15.3 km, has now reached 19 km.

The 5th Field Artillery Wing was also equipped with cannons of these two calibers, but after firing at each other, the little devils found that their shells could not reach the mountains at all. Instead, they all fell into the Yongding River, killing many fish.

What is even more outrageous is that the 20th Division, which was fighting with Wei Lihuang's 14th Army's vanguard in crossing the river, was very "honored" to receive 13 105mm shells from its own people, but Wei Lihuang seized the fighter plane to launch a round of counterattack, and the 20th Division was forced to retreat five kilometers.

As the shells of the artillery positions of the 5th Field Artillery Wing were hit, a cycle of martyrdom occurred, and a field artillery brigade was blown to pieces.

The little devil is not as good as a beast, but the reaction speed is not slow. At the same time that one of his artillery brigades met Hades, six bombers of the little devil had already flown over the artillery company.

The two anti-aircraft companies had a total of eight combat platoons and 64 twin Makqin heavy machine guns, forming four anti-aircraft positions. The difficult and tragic air defense offensive and defensive battle was officially staged.

If you want to talk about the little devils in this period, it's really crazy. Two planes exploded in a volley, but the four planes behind them refused to retreat.

The pilots of the little devils couldn't see the cannons hidden in the dense forest, but they knew that the artillery position was in this mountain, so they didn't care about the direction at all, as long as they could be thrown on the top of the mountain.

Such reckless bombing finally caused huge losses to the artillery and anti-aircraft companies. A 75mm field gun was blown up on the spot, and 13 soldiers died heroically.

After an enemy plane was hit to the point that the nose of the plane caught fire, the pilot of the little devil simply pressed the control stick and went straight to the machine gun position of the air defense company and crashed headlong.

At the same time as the plane exploded, the aviation gasoline caught fire and burned, and the two air defense positions were suddenly plunged into a sea of fire, and 68 soldiers of the four squads died heroically!

"Personnel evacuated urgently! I don't want anything, evacuate urgently! ”

As the commander-in-chief of a heavy artillery ambush, it was Dai Guangye, the deputy head of Zhang Er's Fangshan Independent Regiment. Although the remaining three enemy planes flew away, the forest on the top of the hill was set on fire due to aviation gasoline, and a monstrous fire was spreading in all directions.

Now you can't ask for anything, and getting people out is victory.

Dai Guangye organized artillery and air defense companies to withdraw from the battlefield here, but the alert troops on the other side encountered greater dangers.

It turned out that the vanguard of the 20th Division of the little devils, who was now fighting with Wei Lihuang's 14th Army, was the 39th Wing of the 78th Infantry Brigade Kobayashi Hengichisa. The 77th Wing, which was hit hard in Nanyuan, became a defender this time.

The 20th Division came from the front line of Liangxiang after defeating Feng Zhi'an's 37th Division. When the 78th Wing in front encountered the enemy's situation, the 77th Wing just rushed to the front line of Mentougou.

After receiving the telegram from the front, Wing Commander Liden Xing learned that there was still an enemy's heavy artillery position hidden in the mountains to the west. The division commander, Kawagishi Bunzaburo, ordered the 77th Wing to immediately turn around and move westward to eliminate the enemy's artillery positions.

The infantry battalion of the Fangshan Independent Regiment has 746 people, with battalion commander Yan Wenzhong and deputy battalion commander Chang Dejiang. They left a company of infantry to defend the Woniuling secret camp, and the main force that could be used was two companies of more than 400 people. The reserve that can be used is the more than 700 people in the new barracks.

The defensive front started from the key platform on the north side of the artillery position, went east to the 249 unnamed heights on the west side of Taoyuan, and reached Wangjiakou in the east, and the defensive front turned south to the line of Shatanggou and Beiyu.

Seven defensive positions were arranged on the entire length of 20 kilometers of defense, the main purpose of which was to protect the north and east sides of the artillery positions. The salient of the defensive front is Wangjiakou.

The 77th Wing of Lideng Xingyi had just defeated Feng Zhi'an's 37th Division in one go, recovering the decline that had been heavily damaged in Nanyuan, and now its morale is booming.

Now it has been ascertained that the enemy's artillery positions are on the first line of the three fields, and as soon as Lidengxing gives orders, a brigade turns around and rushes to the west, aiming directly at Wangjiakou. This is the closest offensive line to the artillery position, in a straight line.

Yan Wenzhong, commander of the infantry battalion, specially placed a platoon of 70 main troops in the salient of Wangjiakou, and arranged a recruit company of 200 people as a reserve.

On the main position were 2 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 1 twin Makqin anti-aircraft machine gun, 8 Deg Galev light machine guns (Dingwei No. 1) and 8 grenade guns.

For more than 1,000 people in an infantry brigade coming up from the little devil, platoon commander Zhou Changnian didn't care very much. After all, in front of his own light machine gun, the crooked tricks of the little devils are useless.

And I don't have riflemen here, 8 grenades are specially prepared to fight the little devils, and they are attached to deal with armored vehicles. 3 heavy machine guns were placed in the bunker at the back, which was intended to deal with the group charge at the level of the Little Devil squadron.

Their purpose is to stall for time, and they don't care how many enemies they destroy.

Therefore, as soon as a squad of devils appeared at a position of 400 meters, 3 light machine guns were already firing, and the little devils were not given the opportunity to follow the steps at all and then launch a charge.

The little devils of the 20th Division have just come from the Korean Peninsula and have not yet fought with Bai Shujie's troops. Today was the first time that a light machine gun hit at such a distance had been hit, so the captain in the back was taken aback.

Naturally, the crooked sub-machine gun can shoot so far, but the effective range is only 400-600 meters, and it is completely dependent on the cluster of machine guns to produce interdicting fire. The Deg Galev light machine gun is different, its effective range is 600-800 meters, and the distance of 400 meters is already within the normal range of fire.

The Little Devil squad only has 4 crooked light machine guns, which are basically about the same as waste at such a distance.

Having lost the squad firepower of light machine guns, the devils of this squad have nothing to do. Creeping forward 400 meters? There doesn't seem to be such a clause in the infantry regulations.

Besides, the task now is to rush over and then get rid of the enemy's artillery positions, how is it possible to have time to crawl here? If you crawl to three fields, it will be more than ten kilometers and you will need to climb until next year.

The 26th Field Artillery Wing is still on the east bank of the Yongding River, and it has not come over now. The little devil's wing commander, Lidengxing, gave orders one by one and sent his machine gun squadron out.

The idea of Liden Xingyi is very simple: light machine guns can't win you, so Lao Tzu will use heavy machine guns!

Very good, a squadron of machine guns, 8 Type 92 heavy machine guns were brought up, and more than thirty little devils pouted their butts and began to install.

The little devil wants to easily sort out the heavy machine gun position, which is too whimsical, unless the soldiers in the defensive position are blind.

As a result, the triangular bracket of the heavy machine gun had not yet been completed, and the enemy's heavy machine gun was the first to open fire and conduct harassing fire: Tutu Tu - Tu Tu Tu - The enemy used the Imperial Type 92 heavy machine gun, and he was now installing this guy.

So this gunshot is so familiar, and the little devil was taken aback when he heard the voice: "Nani? Heavy machine guns for the Reich? Own people beat their own people? ”

To be honest, including the wing commander, group leader, and squadron leader in the back, they were all a little confused: could it really be that their own people beat their own people? The costume is the same, and the heavy machine gun is the same. Well, it's just that light machine guns are different.

Light machine guns are useless, and heavy machine guns don't seem to be useful. If you retreat beyond the strike range of the enemy's heavy machine guns, then there is no need to install heavy machine guns yourself. Because everyone uses the same guy, no one else can beat you, and you can't beat anyone else when you install it.

However, after all, the little devil has a rich family background and a matching weapon in his hand. So in less than ten minutes, two infantry guns were pushed out.

Now the little devil's infantry artillery is stopped 1,500 meters away, and the platoon commander Zhou Changnian used a telescope to see the little devil's movements, and was suddenly dumbfounded, so he could only shout loudly: "Brothers, the little devil wants to use the infantry artillery, hurry up and defend the artillery!" ”

The machine-gun fortifications were nothing more than improvised civil fortifications to cover the artillery positions of three plots, with only one layer of logs on top and two layers of sandbags on top. Such fortifications are of no use in the face of infantry artillery.

Sure enough, the three heavy machine guns had just been removed, and the two shells had torn off the top of the fortifications, and one of the little devils' shock squad rushed up with a scream.

Fortunately, there were two machine guns on the left and the right holding on, so the little devil rushed to the vicinity of two hundred meters, and he had already lost nearly a third.

However, after all, the threat of the two infantry guns was too great, and the continuous shells came over, and the soldiers could only move back and forth in the trenches with machine guns to fight guerrillas, and the suppression power of the little devils was reduced by more than half.

And the impact of the little devils is very particular, although the first squad suffered a lot of losses, but they did not retreat, but lay on the front of the position, and then crawled forward according to the changes in the terrain. At the same time, the second shock squad in the back launched another charge.

After two superimpositions, the little devils who stayed at the front of the position were already a hundred people smaller, and they were all constantly moving their bodies and slowly approaching the trench.

The 8 grenade guns fired grenades desperately, but they only increased the casualties of the little devil, and could not completely stop the little devil from moving forward.

As the little devil approached about 100 meters, the casualties of Zhou Changnian's platoon finally began to appear. When the two light machine guns were taking care of the little devils on the ground, one was accidentally blown up by the infantry gun, and four soldiers died heroically.

The artillery positions behind them are still firing shells, which means that the artillery positions have not ended the battle. Zhou Changnian and the soldiers knew that they had to hold on.

It was at this time that enemy planes came to the skies. With three enemy planes shot down, the charging imps finally went crazy, and another squadron appeared at the point of attack departure.

Zhou Changnian knew that it was now the last moment when you died or I died, so he yelled: "Brothers, the little devil is going to use the tactics of crowds, and the time has come to fight hard!" Leave the infantry guns of the little devils alone, fire with heavy machine guns and hit the enemy's shock squadrons, and light machine guns take care of the little devils crawling on the ground! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
