Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

The expeditionary army had sufficient ammunition and was not far behind. Rifles, light and heavy machine guns rang out. Although the fight was lively, the enemy and the enemy could hardly see their opponents. The water wall on the Nandu River became a natural barrier.

The artillery of the new 38th Division ignored the Japanese bombing and just threw the shells into the Nandu River.

The New 38th Division did not have an exclusive artillery position. With their small-caliber support firepower, they could not compete with the Japanese artillery fire. If they were concentrated in one place, the Japanese heavy artillery would be completely destroyed with a single salvo.

Therefore, they are all built on the defense line in the form of artillery batteries and platoons, and there are only seven or eight at most. The reason is that they are large in number, which is more than twice as powerful as the small-caliber support firepower of the Japanese army.

In this artillery confrontation, the expeditionary army did not lose the wind at all.

Just as the gunshots and cannons were rumbling on the battlefield, and the fight was in full swing, there was a loud screaming sound in the sky, which could not be covered even by the gunfire on the battlefield. We all know that this is the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, with a caliber of at least [-], and a loud and hoarse shout suddenly sounded in the trench: "Heavy artillery attack, lie down!"

"Quickly, enter the anti-blasting hole!"

"Boom boom boom!" There was a deafening explosion, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking.

Shells landed on the ground one by one, and the mud and sand were thrown up to tens of meters. In the flames, countless human fragments flew into the sky like dead leaves. The powerful shock wave made the area tens of meters swept away like a hurricane. They are all ruined.

The trench, which was several meters wide just now, was leveled in the blink of an eye, and the thick logs buried on the ground were dug out one by one, mixed with the soldiers' stumps, broken arms, and fleshy flesh, forming a mess.

The Japanese army was clearly aiming at precise strikes. The places almost plowed by shells were the locations of artillery batteries and artillery platoons. One or two steel plates and repeated piles of logs may be able to block the Japanese army's small-caliber or even Qiwushan artillery. hit, but for a 150mm heavy cannon, it's not enough at all.When a [-]-kilogram shell hit the fortification, it immediately formed a huge crater tens of meters wide and several meters deep, which can be dug out for you from the ground.

Strictly speaking, the 150mm heavy cannon is used to attack cities and fortifications. The positions used to deal with civil engineering work are a bit inferior, and it can even be said that they are a bit wasteful, but the Japanese army even dared to drive the heavy artillery brigade to the front. Haoran's fear or hatred has reached an unbelievable level, but the Japanese army will probably not hesitate to implement any price that can pull out this thorn in his side.

This time the artillery attack lasted for half an hour, which was longer than the previous attacks. It was definitely not a tentative attack. The heavy artillery brigade was destroyed. The Japanese army's hatred can be imagined, and they no longer have other hopes. You can only use the only superior firepower in your hand to strike with all your strength.

It is also thanks to the Japanese heavy artillery brigade that was finished last night. If their Type 240 305mm heavy cannon and Type 38 [-]mm heavy howitzer appeared on the battlefield, then this battle would not have to be fought at all. The organizational system of the [-]th Division may be erased from the organizational list of the expeditionary force.

As soon as the shelling stopped, a piece of dilapidated fortifications appeared and disappeared in the dense smoke. The trenches were full of abuse, shouting, and crying. The infantry charged, as was their usual tactic.

Numerous recruits scurrying around like headless chickens began to enter a fighting state under the command of officers and veterans who beat and scolded.

Medical teams and stretcher teams also began to enter the trenches to quickly lift the seriously wounded out of the battlefield, while the lightly wounded were simply bandaged and continued to fight.

"The little devil rushed across the river!"

Someone yelled loudly, and saw black muzzles everywhere on the embankment on the north bank of the Nandu River, among which there were a large number of light machine guns, and Japanese helmets could be seen faintly.

With this half-hour bombing, the Japanese army has successfully crossed the Nandu River, shortening the attack distance to 300 meters.

There was the sound of guns being loaded in the trenches, black muzzles protruding from the trenches, and the sound of light and heavy machine guns shaking their belts one after another. The artillery fire was destroyed, and these became the main suppressive firepower.

The Japanese army didn't seem to be eager to attack, and the dust below Heti seemed to be building a line of defense.

The expeditionary force also took advantage of this limited time to clean up the destroyed artillery positions, hoping to dig out some intact cannons.

Ten minutes later, a large number of oil barrels suddenly appeared on the Japanese defense line, and two or three soldiers crawled behind each oil barrel, pushing the oil barrels forward.

Veterans of the 38th Division have already seen this new tactic. When the Japanese army attacked the Menggong Highlands, the Japanese army carried thousands of oil barrels to the front. A suitable distance, and then set up the oil drum to form a bunker, which is direct and efficient, much faster than geotechnical excavation.

The first line of defense of the expeditionary force was more than ten miles long, and five regiments were deployed, including three regiments from the New 38th Division and two regiments from the New 28th Division.

The entire line of defense was distributed in a fan shape relying on the flow direction of the Nandu River. The Japanese army chose to attack the central area because the terrain was relatively flat and open, and the river channel was relatively narrow, which was suitable for large troops to deploy.

而在正中地带布防的，正是新38师的122团和126团。此刻，122团的团长唐初一和126团的团长杨长顺已经站在了一起。

The Japanese army successfully crossed the river, which was a lot of pressure for them. The oil barrel was filled with sand and gravel, and the AK47 could not penetrate it at all, unless it was light and heavy machine guns, but at a distance of 300 meters, the Japanese grenadier can easily hit the position. , All soldiers who have fought against the Japanese army know that the Japanese grenadiers are very good at playing, and the accuracy is very high. Once the light and heavy machine guns are suppressed, their grenade will definitely rain down. After losing the artillery fire, If even these suppressive firepower are lost, then the next battle will be even more difficult to fight, so the two need to figure out how to deal with the Japanese attack.

"I think it's settled like this. The firepower of the machine gun is suppressed, and the position of the machine gun will be changed immediately after firing a shuttle of bullets. You can't just watch the little devil cross the river." Tang Chuyi said bitterly.

"Change the position of the machine gun? Are you kidding me? Light machine guns are fine. You can run away with a sweep of bullets and hold them. What about heavy machine guns? I'm afraid the enemy's bombs will arrive before you dismantle them, so this will not work at all." Yang Changshun retorted.

"Then what should we do? You can't watch the little devil advance to a distance of tens of meters and immediately charge?"
