Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Although the grenadiers were not as accurate as the Japanese army, they were still trying their best to dump the ammunition. Although the machine guns could not cause too many casualties to the enemy, the enemy did not want to charge, and everything was stubbornly confronting each other.

The gasoline brought by the division headquarters quickly entered the trenches. Three or four soldiers were in a small cart covered with thick sandbags. After all, they were flammable and explosive items. The enemy’s bombing was also intensive. If it is detonated, it will not look good, so precautions must be taken well.

Chen Feng laughed as soon as he unloaded a barrel of gasoline, and said to the transporting soldiers: "Is this the masterpiece of the chief of staff? There is an explosive bag attached to both ends, and only he, 'Sai Zhuge', could come up with such a crazy idea? "

Lu Guoquan was born in the army, and fighting depends on bravery. The real planner is Wu Chaowen, the chief of staff who graduated from the second phase of Huangpu. The two have been partners for many years. When Lu Guoquan was the battalion commander, Wu Chaowen was his company commander. All of them participated in the Northern Expedition and made many military exploits. However, from 1928 to 1929, they participated in four Jiangxi suppression campaigns, but they failed repeatedly. So officers and soldiers called him 'Sai Zhuge'.

When Chen Feng said this, the soldiers also laughed, and praised him for their sympathy with the Chief of Staff.But at this time, no one was in the mood to continue to say more. Chen Feng immediately ordered the soldiers to adjust their firepower, clear the defensive positions in front of the Japanese tanks, and arrange firepower points on the left and right sides to attract the enemy's firepower.

Put a wooden plank on the vacated area, lift the oil drum on the wooden plank, one person on one side is responsible for pushing the oil barrel forward, and two people in the middle are responsible for lifting the wooden plank. Once the wooden plank is lifted, add a Push, and the oil drum will roll out of the trench, safely and quickly.

The order is given, everyone is in position, a dozen oil barrels are ready, light and heavy machine guns are concentrated to attract the enemy's firepower.

Chen Feng raised his hand high, and there was a special person in front of each oil drum to watch Chen Feng's hand gestures. Amidst the bombing, no shouting would work, and the hand gestures were direct.

"Let go!" Chen Feng roared ferociously, and cut off with his high-raised right hand.

After a while, more than a dozen oil barrels suddenly rolled out of the trench, except for one that was blown up by the enemy at the moment it was pushed out of the trench. There was a huge flame on the spot. Casualties, the trenches of four to fifty meters were all buried in the sea of ​​flames, and countless people were burned to death on the spot.But the other dozen or so oil barrels rolled down. The weight of the oil barrels and the slope close to 50 degrees formed a thunderous momentum in an instant.

The oil barrels rolled down against the ground, and the Japanese army had no time to adjust the shooting angle in a hurry. Even if the reaction was good, it was not easy to hit the oil barrels rolling at high speed.

Except for three or four of the dozen or so oil drums that were blown up in the middle, all the rest successfully rolled to the enemy tanks. until it blows up.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of the explosion was suddenly heard, and the kinetic energy brought by it was absolutely shaking the earth. The devil's steel defense line was buried in a sea of ​​​​flames in an instant. The gasoline and high explosives brought about a terrifying scene that was unimaginable. At least 50 meters, even the Japanese army behind the tank was not spared, and countless people were burned to death if they were not shocked to death.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, more than a dozen tanks of the Japanese army retreated in a hurry. The wounded soldiers who rolled on the ground ignored them and ran over them directly. up.

In the trenches of the expeditionary army, after a burst of cheers, the troops also began to withdraw from the trenches in an orderly manner. Everyone knew that the Japanese infantry could not charge, and the bombardment was about to follow.

In less than a few minutes, the entire trench was basically evacuated, and even the wounded and corpses were taken away, leaving only a small number of troops on the ground for observation and temporary emergency treatment.

In the frontier, which was still bustling just now, there were only a dozen pitch-black tanks of the Japanese army left in an instant, and a small amount of oil and fire stuck to the steel and crackled and burned.

Of course, there is still a place where the Japanese soldiers' corpses are still burning with billowing smoke, and there are clusters of black coke-like substances everywhere, and there are even a small number of wounded soldiers rolling and wriggling in the fire, making horrible screams Voice.

Yingdo, Expeditionary Force Command.

The news of Meng Gong's victory in the first battle has reached the headquarters, and the entire headquarters is boiling.

Jiang Haoran frowned at the battle report and detailed battle layout sent by No.70 Fifth Army Commander Chen Mianwu. In any victory, he was always able to keep a clear head. The cheers didn't bother him in the slightest.

Chief of Staff Huang Jie quickly discovered Jiang Haoran's abnormality, walked over quickly, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, Chief, is there something wrong?"

Jiang Haoran glanced at Huang Jie, and said: "I overestimated Chen Mianwu's command ability. After this battle, the problem was exposed. First of all, a battalion of soldiers was thrown on the position for the Japanese to bomb, resulting in Hundreds of casualties were caused before the battle started. This was the biggest failure. They could have kept only a few observation posts. After all, the enemy's front line was longer than ours. There is still an uphill distance of 400 meters. At this distance, the Japanese army will never dare to fire again. Our soldiers have enough time to enter the trenches and prepare for battle. Secondly, there is no problem in building trenches on the ridgeline, but it is necessary Build a parallel trench on the reverse slope to station troops and serve as a second line of defense. In case the Japanese army captures the defensive position on the ridgeline, this trench can still be used to fight the Japanese army repeatedly on the ridgeline. Finally, The 24 howitzers didn't play any role, they were completely for display."

Huang Jie frowned and said with a wry smile: "Boss, I think you are right about the first and second points, but for the third point, I don't think Chen Mianwu can be blamed. After all, the enemy's air power is too strong. Artillery As soon as the artillery was fired at the position, the enemy planes would swarm in immediately, and the artillery position would basically have to be finished after a lot of indiscriminate bombing, and Chen Mianwu did not take out the artillery fire to fight the Japanese army in order to preserve this strength."

Jiang Haoran said angrily: "The game is over? That's Chen Mianwu's wrong layout. He placed an artillery position in a mountain nest. The Japanese aerial bombs can easily be thrown into his artillery position. Once it explodes, a large area will be blown up. Can we not finish the game?" ?”

"Where can the artillery position be located if it is not located in the mountain nest? If it is still located on the top of the mountain, wouldn't it be more attacked by the Japanese artillery?" Huang Jie wondered.

Jiang Haoran was not in a hurry to answer Huang Jie, he picked up his baton and strode towards the battle sand table. The conversation between the two had already alarmed the staff and generals of the headquarters, and a group of people quickly surrounded him.

Jiang Haoran waved his baton, and the tip of the stick landed on Meng Gong's defensive position, and said: "Look, everyone, this is the front of the Japanese army's attack. There is our defensive position on the ridge. Down this long and narrow hillside, it is four feet high. 500 meters, several kilometers long, if the artillery position is erected on this reverse slope, the enemy's direct artillery can't blow it at all. According to the parabolic theory, even if the enemy's curved artillery crosses the ridge and hits the valley or the opposite mountain, it will definitely It is impossible to land at the artillery position. As for the Japanese aircraft, are they really unrivaled? I don’t think so. Menggong Mountain is connected to Bujeban Mountain, and the terrain is complex and high. Anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns can be erected everywhere For this reason, I have deployed most of the anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns shipped from India to them, but they do not seem to have played a normal role. As long as these weapons are used, the enemy cannot conduct low-altitude dive bombing, To accurately drop the bombs on this slope, not to mention completely impossible, at least the possibility is very small. Moreover, once the war starts, whether the Japanese aircraft dare to continue to drop bombs is a problem. Let’s see???? ??”

Jiang Haoran put the baton horizontally on the Menggong Mountain position, and continued: "Although the enemy is only 500 meters away from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, this is the distance up the mountain. If you look down from the top, the distance is at least It is shortened by half, that is to say, the actual distance between our army and the Japanese army is only more than 150 meters, and more than [-] meters is not called distance for an altitude of several thousand meters. It was dropped on our heads without any mistakes, without hurting their people. Therefore, once the Japanese army started to attack, it was when we attacked the enemy with artillery. If you grasp it well, you can remove them all in one round."

Jiang Haoran's words immediately caused an uproar in the headquarters. Reverse-slope artillery positions are definitely a new word in this era. It is hard to know who first proposed the theory of "reverse-slope", but it is the one who really brought this idea to the extreme. Our army's battle of Shangganling is simply a textbook of "reverse slope" offensive and defensive warfare.

The most classic is the ridge line offensive and defensive battle that lasted for several days. The Mi army fought steadily and gradually controlled the ridge line by taking advantage of artillery fire, while the volunteers stuck to the anti-slope position for time, and reorganized the troops at night to touch it and take it back. Trapped in repeated scrambles.

Undoubtedly, Jiang Haoran's tactics involved the tactics of Shangganling. This brand-new theory immediately opened the eyes of the generals at all levels of the headquarters, and they all applauded for it.

Soon, Jiang Haoran's phone call also entered the No.70 Fifth Army Headquarters. The acting commander Chen Mianwu was first scolded bloody by Jiang Haoran, and then he promised the microphone, and it took a while before he put down the phone.

Chen Mianwu wiped the sweat from his head, but before he could speak, all the division commanders in the command center surrounded him, even Lu Guoquan, Wu Chaowen, and Chen Feng who had just left the line of fire were impressively in line.
