Chapter seven hundred and thirty second shelling constantly
"Just follow what I just meant, and add another sentence: In the blocking battle of the Second Regiment, the Guard Battalion's counterattack was good, and the main force of the Third Regiment could learn from the Guard Battalion and give the Japanese a fatal attack at critical moments." Li Zhilong said with a firm face.
When the telegram was sent to Gao Jun, the 11th Division headquarters had been transferred to the third regiment position.
As soon as he saw Li Zhilong's call, Gao Jun asked the commander of the third regiment and asked: "Have the front and back lines of defense been repaired? Is it connected with traffic trenches? There are anti-aircraft holes that cannot withstand the continuous bombing of shells."
After receiving the affirmative answer from the third regiment commander, Gao Jun continued to order: "The two lines of defense are not enough. Try to repair another line of defense at the back, and connect it with traffic trenches. Anti-aircraft artillery holes must also be repaired, but not too many, as long as one can hide a company. If time allows, it is best to repair two more lines of defense."
The third regiment commander was stunned at first, and then replied with a bitter face: "Teacher Commander, the investigation and platoon report, the Japanese have only half an hour to get here. Half an hour to repair the trench is not enough?"
Gao Jun frowned and immediately ordered: "Then find a way to buy time?"
"Chief of Staff. You gather all the scouts of the three regiments, cooperate with the division headquarters to reconnaissance and landmines to set off immediately, go ahead to harass the Japanese, and get at least one hour for the main force. Let the reconnaissance bring more mines to harass the Japanese, landmines are a good thing."
As soon as the Chief of Staff left, Gao Jun continued to order: "One hour should be enough! The Third Regiment is responsible for the third line of defense, and the 12th Regiment is capable of moving troops and the division-level troops directly under the division headquarters are responsible for the fourth line of defense."
"All artillery soldiers in the division are moving, and all the artillery bombardment on the battlefield are calculated. After the battle begins, you must ensure that you can attack wherever you point. In addition, move all the inventory and artillery shells sent by the military to the artillery positions, and shoot all the shells, giving the Japanese an unprecedented lesson."
The scouts are all elites eliminated by the Special Forces Detachment. With the cooperation of mines, it is definitely no problem for the Japanese to be slow for an hour.
Although the first and second regiments suffered heavy losses, especially the second regiment, almost completely destroyed the entire army. However, the two regiments were intact, and there were still 1,500 soldiers. In addition, the guard battalion and baggage battalion directly under the division headquarters had no problem digging a trench in one hour.
Therefore, when Dashanyan led the main Japanese forces of the Japanese, they entered Gao Jun's vision with murderous intent, all four defense lines had been repaired.
Because of the experience and lessons learned from the last attack, Dashanyan also made a small change in the subsequent attack.
The same brigade launched an attack on the Liaodong Army's defense line under the cover of a large number of mortars, heavy machine guns, and even grenade launchers. However, Dashanyan specifically explained that as long as the attacking troops attacked the Liaodong Army's front-line position, the mortars would immediately move, and the second line of defense of the Liaodong Army that might appear behind the artillery can be exposed, and the infantry would continue to attack forward.
In a word, mortars should also be like grenade launchers, following the attacking troops to continue to assault forward.
The infantry of a brigade, lined up with loose straggler lines, and as soon as they appeared on the battlefield, sixty mortars equipped by the 12th Division began to fire shells at them.
Soon, the violent explosion began to harvest life among the Japanese.
As soon as the mortars of the 12th Division fired, the Japanese artillery positions that gathered more than 100 mortars also sounded dull shelling.
More than a hundred artillery shells with screaming sounds steadily hit the first line of defense of the third regiment and exploded, and then fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke were blown out.
What Dashanyan didn't expect was that there was no one on the surface of the first line of defense that he used a large amount of artillery shells to attack, and even the anti-aircraft artillery hole was only one company of the Liaodong Army.
The Japanese attacked the empty front line under the cover of more than 100 mortars, and the mountain cannons and field cannons of the 12th Division moved.
The mountain cannon shells with a harsh and screaming sound were as if the artillery had divided the place into areas before the Japanese came, and then they calculated the precise shooting of the various elements. Thirty-six shells seemed to have eyes, all hitting the Japanese artillery positions.
In an instant, more than ten mortars were covered by artillery fire and then dismembered into the most primitive parts.
"Baga, why did the Liaodong Army have so many mountain artillery? Their number of artillery is more than just now!" Dashanyan's face changed, and he frowned and asked the chief of staff beside him.
The chief of staff next to him was also frowning, holding a telescope and staring at the battlefield, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, a series of more harsh whistles sounded above everyone's heads, and they were getting closer and closer.
"No, it's a field cannon. The shells are flying towards us. Everyone, hide!" A scream came out from the brigade commander of a heavy artillery brigade around him.
As soon as the words were spoken, a group of officers, including Dashanyan, moved around under the cover of their respective guards.
As soon as they left, a violent explosion rang around. Some Japanese officers who were closer to the explosion site were knocked to the ground by the Gun Guard before they could react and had an intimate contact with the earth.
It was not until the field artillery regiment fired three rounds of shells that Dashanyan retreated to the safety point under the protection of the guards.
Before he could take a breath, a brigade commander followed him shouted: "Commander-in-Chief, the Liaodong Army has at least one field artillery regiment, which is obviously targeting our main force."
Seeing the bodies of soldiers who had fallen all over the ground in the area covered by the Liaodong Army artillery fire, Dashanyan immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
It doesn't matter if the retreat is made. The main force has left hundreds of corpses. As soon as he withdraws from the range of the field artillery, the field artillery regiment adjusts the muzzle and begins to cover the Japanese artillery positions.
Despite the continuous transfer of more than one hundred mortars, they cannot withstand the joint attack of so many mountain artillery artillery.
In order to preserve their strength, the Japanese artillery suffered heavy losses and could only keep transferring artillery.
In this way, the so-called cover artillery fire of the Japanese became sparse.
This is, the Japanese attacking under artillery fire have rushed to a position three or four hundred meters away from the position.
Although the Japanese attack formation was very scattered, they were completely exposed to the artillery fire of the Liaodong Army, and the artillery fired were all mortars with very fast firing speed. On the attack route of five or six hundred meters, they had seven or eight hundred corpses!
That's not all. When the mortars continued to fire shells at them, because the Japanese had less artillery fire, a company left behind in the position had already drilled out of the artillery position and fired a bullet at the Japanese from time to time.
Of course, the Japanese who are constantly attacking are not vegetarians, and they will suppress the Liaodong Army's positions as soon as they have the opportunity.
Under this situation, the left-behind troops on the positions also began to suffer casualties. (To be continued.)
