1489 has another purpose
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Since we can't find out the situation of the Japanese fortifications, we can only rely on the front-line troops to fight, but fortunately, the front-line troops are also well-equipped and have all kinds of weapons."
The advance regiment that took the 423 Heights withdrew to rest, and the 63 regiments that replaced it continued to attack the depths of the Japanese army, and behind the 423 Heights was the 388 Heights, which was more than 1,000 meters away from the 423 Heights, which was twice as wide as the 423 Heights, so the troops on it were also more than those on the 423 Heights.
The commander of the 63rd Regiment was named Jiang Desheng, who was the most competitive master among the nine regiments of the 7th Division, and when he saw the advance regiment fighting on the 423 Heights, he went to the division headquarters to ask for battle, and Xiao Yingwu had no choice, so he agreed to hand over the task of fighting the 388 Heights to Jiang Desheng.
Jiang Desheng took over the advance regiment, and immediately began to reconnoiter the enemy's position, and a staff officer said: "Regiment commander, I'm afraid this battle will not be easy to fight!" ”
Jiang Desheng frowned and said, "You actually said frustrating words, but you should tell me, how difficult is it?" If you can't say that the meridian is coming, I'll send you to the service company to feed the pigs. ”
Staff officer Zhi Daojiang Desheng likes to joke, and likes to joke on various occasions, and he doesn't care, he pointed to the distance and said: "Commander, look, the mountain peak in front is the 388 Heights, and if we want to launch an attack there, we have to go to it, but between the two heights are full of dirt slopes and stone ridges with a height of two or three hundred meters, and there are all kinds of rocks everywhere, and it is easy for the Japanese army to ambush killer artillery units in them, causing damage to our armored vehicles. ”
Jiang Desheng smiled and said, "Okay, don't say it anymore, then you can feed the pigs." ”
The staff officer hurriedly asked, "Regiment commander, am I not right?" ”
Jiang Desheng said: "Yes, yes, but only one point. After speaking, he pointed to the 423 heights behind him and said: "Lin Shuai gave us instructions: we put mortars there, which is enough to suppress the Japanese troops in this mountainous area, do you say they still dare to ambush them?" ”
The staff officer nodded again and again and said, "It's still the regiment commander who thinks about it." ”
Jiang Desheng scolded with a smile: "Okay, don't pat the sycophants, and then let you go to the service company to feed the pigs, let's go, let's go to the 423 heights, condescending there, and command the next battle." ”
There was originally a Japanese headquarters on the high ground, and Lin Yuan's troops occupied this place and used it as their own headquarters and observation post, and as soon as Jiang Desheng entered the headquarters, a scout ran over and said: "Report to the regiment commander, the Japanese troops have been found on the 134 heights between the two mountains." ”
Jiang Desheng raised the binoculars and looked at the high ground, and sure enough, he saw a group of jumping figures in the telescope, all of them were covered with white cloths, and they were used as cover in the snow, Jiang Desheng immediately said: "The mortar unit is ready, aim at the Japanese army, attack!" ”
Lin Yuan's troops used 81 mm mortars as company and platoon level support firepower, each company had three, and a regiment had 36 mortars, this kind of firepower intensity was unparalleled in the world, and when Lu Xinghua retreated and rested, he lent 36 mortars of his troops to the 63rd Regiment, so the 63rd Regiment had 72 mortars, and this kind of firepower density was not something that the Japanese army could bear.
As soon as Jiang Desheng gave the order, the mortar troops on the 423 heights opened fire, and the shells fell on the Japanese troops, and the accuracy of the mortar shells was worse than that of the grenades, but fortunately, there were many of them, and they could also make up for the lack of accuracy, and the shells exploded in the crowd of Japanese troops, leaving a bloody red patch on the snow.
Jiang Desheng raised his binoculars and looked at them, and asked, "Are you shooting anti-personnel bombs?" ”
The artillery commander said: "Yes, we are shooting anti-personnel shells. ”
Jiang Desheng said: "If you find a little devil again, change it to the long bullet that Lin Shuai newly transported." ”
The artillery commander said: "But the regiment commander, the charge of the long bullet is large, and it is more suitable for part-time work." ”
Jiang Desheng said with a smile: "You are still an artillery battalion commander like this, I think you might as well go to the service company to feed the pigs!" Didn't you notice that the high ground was full of rocks, and there wasn't even a single tree? The rocks that are blown up by this kind of terrain blasting bomb are all lethal fragments, do you understand? ”
The artillery commander said: "I understand! ”
Jiang Desheng smiled and said: "It's too late to understand, the little devils won't come again, although they don't want to die in the war, they are not stupid, they will hide when they see the power of our shells, and they will not hit our guns." Before the words fell, I only heard the scout who was using a high-powered telescope to reconnoiter the enemy's situation say: "Report to the regiment commander, the little devil is coming up again!" ”
Jiang Desheng scolded his mother, and then said, "Didn't the little devil slap me in the face?" As soon as I said that they wouldn't come up, they came up, mortars, bomb me to death! ”
In the blink of an eye, another burst of fire flashed on the 134 heights, and the Japanese fled into the distance after throwing down the minced meat, and the formation was scattered, Jiang Desheng said: "Okay, don't fight, the little devils are scattered, the lethality of the shells is limited, and this mountain is too high, and the shells are too laborious to transport, you save some use." ”
The artillery battalion commander nodded again and again, and at this moment, the staff officer suddenly said beside Jiang Desheng: "Regiment commander, didn't you find out that something was wrong?" ”
Jiang Desheng said: "What's the matter? What's wrong? ”
The staff officer said: "What do you say the little devil is going to go to the 134 heights?" ”
Jiang Desheng smiled: "Then do you need to talk about it?" Of course, it is to occupy the mountains, to attack the troops on our road from a high position, to block our way, isn't this what you just said? ”
The staff officer said: "Regiment commander, I think the little devil has another purpose!" ”
Jiang Desheng hurriedly said: "Another purpose? What's going on? ”
The staff officer pointed to a few high ground in the distance and said: "Look at those high grounds, there are woods on them, and it is not easy for people to be found when they walk in them. But they want to go under our noses and be bombed by us, if the first time it is because they don't know that we have artillery, but what about the second time? Isn't it stupid that they let the troops go under the shells, knowing that we have artillery? Although the Japanese army is ruthless, it is definitely not stupid! ”
Jiang Desheng smiled: "Maybe the devil wants to use up our shells." At this moment, he suddenly heard an explosion near the 134 heights, and with the explosion, a pale yellow smoke rose into the air, Jiang Desheng frowned, and said, "Didn't the little devil use chemical weapons?" ”
The staff officer said on the side: "Regiment commander, it is definitely not a chemical weapon, you see that the wind is blowing on their side, if it is poison gas that poisons them, they will not be so stupid, I think those pale yellow smoke is just an ordinary smoke screen." ”
Jiang Desheng said with a smile: "That's right, what you said is really reasonable, it seems that it should be Lao Tzu who should feed the pigs!" But what did the little devil do with a smokescreen on the 134 heights? ”
The staff officer said on the side: "The little devil must have really wanted to go up to Heights 134, so he used smoke bombs to cover up, but what is there on Heights 134?" ”
Jiang Desheng also frowned, and said: "Yes, the 134 Heights are just a stone mountain, what can be on it?" Is it worth the little devil to exchange so many lives? ”
