Chapter 1082: Hard Resistance
One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, as long as the first wave of attacks is suppressed, the rest will feel much better.
Therefore, what kind of fight can be made depends on what the first wave looks like.
On the battlefield, all the soldiers have already begun to move. Everyone has a sapper shovel on their body, so the efficiency of renovating the fortifications is still very high. Especially knowing that the enemy had a large number of mortars this time, everyone's movements were even faster, piles of earth and rocks were thrown down from the mountain, and the foot of the mountain was raised in a short period of time, and the place where everyone was hiding and the foxhole dug before became deeper, hiding in it, better avoiding the bombardment of shells.
Unless the shell falls directly into the pit or explodes close to the body, it will not kill the soldiers hiding in the pit. Moreover, many places on this mountain have a large slope, which is more difficult to hit, and the explosion power and the direction of fragmentation will also fly in other directions due to the slope, so that the survival rate of the soldiers is more guaranteed.
Half an hour later, the forward scouts spotted a large number of enemy movements. Ten minutes later, the forward scouts were the first to begin the exchange of fire.
Their position was not in the position where the enemy army was advancing, and the artillery could not attack there, so the number of enemies in the first wave of fire was not very large, and with the advantage of the terrain, the scouts barely withstood the pressure and repelled the first wave of enemy attacks. Then the battalion commander ordered the scouts in front to withdraw, and did not even let them stay in the traps, and returned to the position as quickly as possible.
After the battle, they could not take care of that place, and closer to them was the main Japanese army. As long as a small part of the troops is separated, they can completely eat the scout troops that they have placed in front. Of course, the battalion commander is unwilling to eat this kind of loss, even if he cuts off his farthest sight. Scout units cannot be allowed to suffer heavy losses either.
This is their own eyes, if the scouts suffer too many casualties, then the reconnaissance of the troops will become difficult, and it will become quite difficult to extend to collect intelligence. Seeing that the Japanese troops were about to fight, it was time for him to withdraw his eyeliner.
Twenty minutes passed. The vanguard of the enemy was in everyone's sight. Soon, everyone heard a whistling sound in the sky, which was extremely harsh.
"Hidden!" The experienced veteran immediately shouted loudly.
"Hidden! Take cover! β
Alerts appeared from all positions, and all the soldiers retreated back to their hiding places, and some of them were able to go directly into some caves in the mountains, which were safer than foxholes.
"Boom!"
Soon. An explosion rang out from a location on the mountainside.
A block of stone was directly shattered, flying into the distance with a large amount of dust and fragments of the explosion. However, the shell landed on the slope, which was very steep, and there were no soldiers hiding in this position, and as everyone thought, the slope of the hillside tilted the direction of the shell explosion, and the most powerful direction was towards the sky. The diagonal shot went straight out, but it didn't cause much damage.
But then. A large explosion rang out from the mountain almost simultaneously.
After that, a lot of shells fell at the foot of the mountain, and there were still some open areas, and even the open space where the battalion commander had made plans before also dropped three shells. The previous table was also torn to shreds by the explosion.
Fortunately, it was foreseen that the other side would suppress the artillery fire, so the battalion commander and the officers had all retreated to a safer place in the rear. If it's still here, there's no doubt that it must have been blown into parts by now.
The bombardment continued, and almost all the people on the positions felt a little unable to raise their heads. Some of the daring ones peeked out of the foxhole with half their heads out and looked forward. It was found that quite a few enemies began to charge in groups while they were being suppressed by artillery, and naturally hoped to take advantage of this time to get close to the position in order to gain a greater advantage.
The news soon reached the ears of the battalion commander.
"Don't move, stay hidden!" The battalion commander still carried out the idea of giving priority to evasion.
Now is not the time to fight back, so naturally dodge first.
With such intensive artillery bombardment, it is naturally impossible not to die. A lot of shells fell directly into the foxhole, and with an explosion, the dust and gunsmoke that flew out, and even a faint light red could be seen, and then a large amount of blood mixed with the soil flew nearby, staining the ground red, and then the foxhole would be directly blown up, completely losing its concealment function.
This happens from time to time in other places, and everyone sees it, but there is nothing they can do about it.
The cannonballs falling from the sky can't be stopped by themselves, so they can only watch them fall into their foxholes and explode close to their bodies, and the others can only watch the cannonballs fall on the nearby people and blow them up directly from the mountain, but they can't do anything.
Anger was accumulating in everyone's hearts, and everyone's eyes gradually began to turn red in the continuous explosions.
The time to fight back hasn't come yet, so now you can only endure it first. When the order to attack is given, then the revenge counterattack fire may even startle them.
Naturally, the enemy's artillery bombardment cannot continue forever, not to mention that the opponent's charge needs to make way for space, and even the number of shells in their own hands is limited.
The commander of the Japanese unit was not so stupid as to think that the Chinese troops did not even have mortars in their hands, and they had to consider something from the perspective of the overall war.
The sound of artillery fire stopped, and the battalion commander immediately ordered: "Don't move!" Don't shoot, listen to me! Where is the enemy's position? β
A scout immediately replied: "The enemy is charging, and there are enemy movements on all three lines of defense, the nearest is the middle road, which is about 700 meters away from the position, and about 800 meters to the farthest right side." β
"Good! Listen to my orders, don't shoot early! β
The enemy was getting closer and closer, but the Chinese troops were never firing a single shot. This kind of scene is actually a bit weird, and the Japanese commander actually has some bad premonitions. But now it is an arrow on the line, it has to be sent, you can only take one step at a time, if you suddenly order the front line to retreat at this time, then not to mention that your previous artillery bombardment will become meaningless, and your morale will be exhausted because of such an order.
And the other side didn't move, you can't think that they didn't kill themselves or something, this is too naΓ―ve, once they retreat, you can imagine that the other party's firepower will immediately be overwhelming, and when the time comes, if you want to retreat, whether the Chinese troops are willing or not, that's another matter.
So now no matter what, I can only bite the bullet.
"Six hundred meters!" The scout shouted.
The battalion commander immediately gave the order: "All aim, all aim!" Aim for the closest enemy to you! Mortar positions in the back, ready to fire! β
"Five hundred and fifty meters!"
"Five hundred meters!"
"Mortar positions, three salvos!" The battalion commander shouted.
Immediately, everyone heard a "bang!" from behind the position. Bang", and then a familiar scream sounded over his head again.
Only this time, I don't have to pay attention to the top of my head, but the enemy starts to "enjoy".
"Boom!"
The first explosion sounded accurately in the enemy's charging formation. It was even clearer from the hill that the shells exploded on the ground, and a large cloud of black smoke rose from the ground and rushed straight into the sky. All the enemies in the surrounding area fell to the ground at once, and those who were closer were directly blown away by the shells.
Then, one by one, explosions began to sound in the enemy's formation, and the three ways blossomed, and many lives were immediately harvested.
The explosions in a circle obviously affected the enemy's charging footsteps, and the enemy's approach, which was originally very smooth, immediately began to slow down. However, the time of the three salvos passed very quickly, especially since the battalion commander only had 28 mortars in his hands, which was not a large number, although the salvo killed a lot of people, but compared to the number of troops charged by the enemy, the power was still slightly limited.
"The mortar position was modified to a landing point of 300 meters on standby! The other units, concentrated, ready! β
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer to him, he had even begun to shoot at him when he charged, and the bullets hit the rocks of the mountain, causing a lot of rubble and dust to collapse, but they were all completely ignored by everyone.
Finally, the enemy approached the position of 300 meters, and in the midst of the battalion commander's roar of "open fire", the entire defense line was fried in an instant.
All the soldiers who could directly see the enemy pulled the trigger of the guns in their hands at this time, and the muzzle of each gun sprayed flames and bullets, and the fire formed a net almost instantly, and the enemy soldiers who rushed to the front were all shot several times, and the bodies that rushed forward were sent back and fell heavily to the ground.
The machine gun is still the most powerful, especially after closing the distance, the bullet power of the machine gun shows its terrible. Especially for heavy machine guns, every bullet that hits the enemy can be said to be incomplete, and in just a few dozen seconds, countless stumps and broken arms appeared in a position several hundred meters in front of the position. The soldier holding the bazooka was even more bold, and directly leaned out with half of his body, casually aimed in a direction, and launched the rocket in his hand. In the midst of the explosion, several soldiers could be seen blown out and fell to the ground, and few were able to get back up. (To be continued......)
