The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 450 Destruction of the Ishii United Team ([-])

The so-called cat's ear hole fortifications are a kind of culvert dug horizontally along the side wall of the trench.

The structure of the cat's ear hole fortification is simple, and the interior is long and narrow, which is very suitable for individual soldiers as a bunker. In addition, the structure is stable, and it has a strong resistance to the bombardment of artillery fire.

The Japanese army was quite skilled in digging and using the Maoerdong fortifications.

During the Anti-Japanese War, after the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties and captured the positions occupied by the devils, it discovered the fortifications constructed by the Japanese army that were very suitable for avoiding bombardment.

Later, it was learned, improved, and used to defend against Japanese artillery.

At the end of last year, during the battle at Lijiapo, the monk led the soldiers of the guard company, relying on the high ground of Lijiapo, dragged down the Yamazaki Brigade forcefully, and resisted the continuous bombardment of the artillery squadron of the Yamazaki Brigade. Kind of cat ear piercing fortifications.

This is why Kong Jie didn't think about it at all, and directly used artillery fire to attack the Ishii United.

With this kind of cat ear piercing artillery fortifications, you can plow the devil's position back and forth several times with artillery fire, and the little devil can still be alive and kicking on the fortifications.

Even if the independent group has a rich family, they can't be so extravagant.

That's why there is an ambush tactic in front of us to cooperate with the bombardment.

At eleven o'clock sharp at night.

The independent regiment launched a bombardment of the Japanese Ishii united position.

The artillery company led by Wang Chengchengzhu, three 82-type infantry guns, two 81mm mortars, one 75mm mortar, and two [-]mm mortars were responsible for the bombardment mission. In the continuous bombardment, the third-line fortifications of the Ishii Regiment were submerged in the artillery fire.

Hiding in the temporary headquarters under the strongest anti-gun fortifications, Ishii Yuanichi, the captain of the devils, and the chief of staff were also shocked when they heard the crazy gunfire on the battlefield.

In the battle with the Independent Regiment up to now, this is the first time that the Ishii Regiment has been attacked by concentrated artillery fire from the Independent Regiment's artillery company.

It is shocking that a regiment-level combat unit in the Eighth Route Military Region has such an intensity of artillery fire.

Ishii Haraichi didn't even dare to imagine, if there were no fortifications arranged in advance, what would happen to his Ishii United team after suffering such artillery fire.

The strength of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army once again refreshed the cognition of these old devils.

Of course, although he was startled by the artillery fire from the Independence Regiment, Ishii Haraichi was not flustered.

Ishiihara is very confident about the current third-line artillery fortification built with the help of the mountain. Even if the independent regiment's artillery fire is powerful, it is just a waste of shells.

The periphery of the fortifications has long been blocked by the imperial soldiers with firepower. Once the bombardment is over, the imperial soldiers will quickly leave the artillery fortifications and rush to the side of the trench to fight again.

All the firepower points are condescending, and a large area of ​​shooting has been cleared outside the fortifications. The offensive troops of the independent regiment are still at the foot of the mountain. It will take at least 5 minutes to rush to the front fortifications.

Five minutes was enough time for the Japanese army to rebuild effective fortifications from the aftermath of the bombardment, and wait for the arrival of the Eighth Route Attacking Force while gaining momentum.

Thinking of this, Ishiihara was determined. He looked at his watch and the sky. It will be dawn in another six or seven hours.

You bastards of the independent regiment, hurry up and enjoy your last arrogance!
boom -

At 30:[-]:[-], the shells falling on the Japanese third-line fortifications continued.

The monk who led the soldiers of the guard company crawling in the weeds immediately made a decisive decision and made a bold decision:

Get in 20 seconds early!
The advantage of this is that after the artillery shells stop, the soldiers of the guard company can go into battle in a shorter time.

The disadvantage is that one's own artillery is likely to accidentally injure the guard company without knowing it.

But the monk was sure that the pillar knew the area where the guard company was lurking, and the shells would be extra cautious when they hit the weeds.

So as long as you don't get too close, you shouldn't be accidentally injured by shells.

In this way, after leading the soldiers of the guard company to start 20 seconds earlier, the time for the guard company to enter the battle can be shortened by 20 seconds.

Perhaps in the next less than 20 seconds, the soldiers will be able to attack the Japanese fortifications.

The monk who had made up his mind didn't hesitate any longer. With his waist bent, he gradually left the front area of ​​the weedy field, and with the help of the mountain, he moved towards the right side of the Japanese army's front fortifications.

The soldiers lurking behind followed without hesitation, and continued to remain concealed and quiet all the way.

The bombardment on the fortifications was intense.

The few forward reconnaissance posts left by the devils in the third-line fortifications also suffered casualties. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, the scouts left behind by the devils were also forced to retreat to the trenches under fierce artillery fire.

Judging by common sense, under this level of bombardment, it is impossible for the troops of the Eighth Route to venture forward.

Coupled with the concealment of the march, the Japanese army was unaware of the guard company on the right wing advancing through the night.

As they continued to march, the shells even exploded at a distance of less than 100 meters.

The time rotates with the seconds, and comes to four seconds of 4 minutes.

There was no time to look at the watch, the monk memorized the seconds in his heart, and suddenly raised his right hand, the tactics behind him continued to communicate in sign language, and the whole team quickly lowered their bodies.

The inaudible ticking sound rang six more times.

At exactly [-]:[-] in the evening, Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the artillery company, issued an order to cease fire. The watch Zhu Zhu wore was out of date with the monk's watch.

The error of the two watches will never exceed one second in three hours.

After counting silently for six seconds, the monk didn't even look at his watch, nor did he stop checking to see if the bombardment was still going on. He immediately waved his hands and gave the combat order.

According to the previous division, the guard company was divided into three groups, each led by a monk, the first platoon leader, and the second platoon leader, with about 50 people in each group.

Each large group is composed of fifteen combat teams composed of bombardiers, pistolmen, and shotgunners.

Every two combat teams will be equipped with a fire support team, composed of machine gunners and grenadiers.

The three large groups, from the far right of the Japanese fortifications, rushed to the third-line trench fortifications built by the devils.

Thanks to the soldiers of the guard company led by the monk, they rushed in 20 seconds earlier. Originally, after the artillery shells stopped, the charge distance of more than 300 meters would have taken more than 40 seconds to reach the front fortifications of the Japanese army. At this moment, it only took 15 seconds. seconds or so.

In such a short period of time, the devils who had been bombarded a moment ago were still immersed in the fierce artillery fire from the Independence Regiment. The echo of the artillery fire seemed to be still echoing in the mountains and forests. They even subconsciously thought that the bombardment was not over yet.

The trenches used by the Japanese army in the third-line fortifications built on the mountain, each trench is about 30 meters apart, almost circular trenches, with a curve length of more than 200 meters, surrounded by some foxholes, semi-underground machine gun fortifications, and interconnected tunnels .

Three combat groups, the first combat group led by the monk, is responsible for the first-line fortifications that the devils focus on defending.

The second combat group led by a platoon leader was responsible for the second fortification of the Japanese army.

The third combat team led by the second platoon leader was responsible for the devil's last fortification.

According to the combat arrangement issued by the monk before the battle, considering that the third-line fortifications of the Japanese army were farthest away, the third combat team had to rush to the third-line fortifications, and there was a time difference.

Therefore, when the gunshots of the third combat group sounded, the second combat group and the first combat group could immediately launch an attack.

In the short period of time before this, the soldiers of the first and second combat groups would flick their tails straight like a long dragon, and arrange each tactical group separately on the periphery of the devil's trench.

In order to ensure that the sudden attack on the devils in the trenches can be carried out comprehensively and simultaneously.

Night, 46:[-]:[-].

Under the leadership of the second platoon leader, the third combat group of the guard company quickly arrived outside the trenches of the third-line fortifications built by the devils.

After the tactical combat teams were quickly in place, the battle was about to start.

The bomber of the tactical combat team took the lead in tearing off the fuse of the incendiary bomb, and then threw the incendiary bomb into the trench.

This incendiary bomb is naturally a masterpiece of the independent regiment's repair shop. Using the principle of the incendiary bottle, a small amount of explosives, a large amount of incendiary agent, and a simple ignition fuze are added. After the incendiary bomb is thrown, the explosive explodes and the incendiary agent is scattered. To all directions, and then set off a fire.

In addition, these combustion agents have a high combustion temperature and strong adhesion.

Whether it is soil, firearms or human body, if it sticks, it will catch fire, and after the explosives are thrown, it will burn a large area.

The bombardier soldiers who quickly took their positions dropped fifteen or six incendiary bombs at once. After exploding in a circular trench more than 200 meters away, the incendiary agent burned rapidly.

The sudden attack, the flames that ignited quickly, soon spread to some devils in the trenches.

With these flames alone, it is natural that the devil cannot be killed immediately. If the devil has time, he can even use the surrounding soil to extinguish the flames on his body.

But what the soldiers wanted was to use the flames of the incendiary bombs to quickly find out where the devils were in the trenches in the dark.

More than a dozen flames that burned quickly dispelled the darkness in the trench.

The soldiers glanced over, and they could see that these devils had just recovered from the roar of the shells, and they were crawling out of the cat's ear hole fortifications, and they were about to crawl to the side of the trench one by one!

The large number of devils that quickly came into view directly stimulated the nerves of the soldiers. The shotgunners would not hesitate. The flames of the incendiary bombs illuminated the trenches, and the soldiers with double-barreled shotguns opened fire directly under the shadows.

boom--

boom--

Compared with the sound of rifles, the sound of extremely violent gunshots suddenly sounded.

Like a small-caliber bomb exploding at the muzzle of a gun.

When the shotgun was first developed, the military soldiers of the repair shop said that the reloading efficiency of the shotgun was too low, and it was too late to replace the second round of bullets after one shot in close combat, so this invention was invented. A double-barreled shotgun increases the ammunition capacity of the shotgun.

The number of devils appearing in the trenches is relatively dense, so it is best to use a shotgun sprayed at close range. The shotgunner suddenly fires, and a large number of projectiles are sprayed out, like splashed ink.

The oncoming devils, no matter if it is one or two, or three or four, or even seven or eight, they will hit the enemy at the sound, and they will fall when they hear the sound.

The projectiles fired at high speed were densely embedded in the body of the hit devil, some were the facade, some were the chest, and some were the abdomen. At first glance, it looked like a humanoid hornet's nest.

The devil who was hit by the shotgun did not die immediately after falling down, but the pain he suffered was more terrifying than direct death.

Feeling the part of the body that has been beaten into a honeycomb by the projectile, the sharp pain will be sent out one after another, which will soon deprive the devil of his last life.

Even if he didn't die, the devil basically lost the ability to continue fighting.

That's the horror of the shotgun being the king of melee combat.

In close combat, the projectile covers a large area, has a high hit rate, and has a strong lethal rate.

Such a close-range splash of ink can directly bridge the gap in military literacy between soldiers and devils.

Even a militiaman who has just been trained can still knock down four or five devils with one shot.

Especially in the current combat environment, there is simply no more applicable situation than this.

The devils were just hanging around in the trenches before they crawled out of the artillery fortifications with cat ear holes. Under the lighting of the incendiary bombs, the distribution of the devils in the trenches was clearly seen.

For a close attack, the shotgun shooter stood at the top of the trench, never more than five meters away from the devils in the trench.

One shot sprayed down, but all the devils covered by the scattered area of ​​​​the shotgun's projectiles were not spared.

There may be more than one shotgun fired successively. Each double-barreled shotgun has two rounds of ammunition and can fire two shots in a row. Fifteen tactical teams are responsible for dealing with each line of trench fortifications of the devils, with a total of fifteen shotguns. Gun, that's thirty rounds of shotgun ammunition.

bang bang-

When the shotgun fighters of the tactical team sprayed the devils in the trench at close range with shotguns, the other team members were not idle. The bombers who had thrown incendiary bombs immediately began to throw the guns hanging from their waists. grenade.

After quickly throwing the grenade, he directly pulled out the shell gun at his waist and acted as a pistolman.

The pistolmen with a shell gun in each hand supplemented their firepower with continuous shooting to eliminate the devils in the trenches.

After the two rounds of the shotgun were emptied, the shotgun shooter temporarily discarded the shotgun without hesitation, and directly pulled out the two shell guns on his waist that had overwhelmed the bullets in advance, and took advantage of the situation to release the safety.

Two pistols were pulled out from the waist, and the safety was released at the same time by using the belt and the corner of the clothes. This is a unique training stunt of the soldiers of the guard company.

In the words of Monk Wei, the commander of the guard company, as a guard company, the elite soldiers nicknamed the pistol company, if they can't even play with pistols, how can we call it a pistol company?

Then, the shell guns were fired in volley, some were single shots, and some soldiers even fired two shots at the same time, and hit the two devils in the trench at the same time.

The soldiers of the tactical team fought together, cooperated tacitly, attacked quickly, and had rapid firepower.

In an instant, the devils in the trench were stunned by the sudden attack.

According to the judgment of the devils in the Ishii Regiment, the Eighth Route Army is still at the foot of the mountain!

Even in the absence of obstacles, it would take at least three to five minutes to attack the front fortifications.

But now that the artillery fire has just stopped, where did this eight-way team suddenly appear, can the magic weapon come from the sky?
The devils in the trenches had only been bombarded for 5 minutes. Even though they were hiding in the anti-battery holes and felt the loud sound of the shells that were close at hand, their brains were still buzzing, and they were rushing into battle right now.

Many devils were wiped out by shotguns, grenades, incendiary bombs, and the firepower of light-gunners added by the tactical team before they came back to their senses.

Moreover, the third-line trench fortifications were attacked at the same time.

Under the intensive firepower raid, the trench that was originally used as a shelter now seemed to be a cemetery that caused the devils to die.

The narrow trenches are more suitable for the soldiers of the guard company to vent their firepower with grenades, incendiary bombs, light machine guns, shotguns and other weapons.

Less than a minute into the hasty fight, some of the devils in the trenches were scorched by the flames of the incendiary; some were smashed into hornet's nests by shotgun pellets;

What a miserable word...
