Most of the Japanese infantry artillery stayed 1,500 meters away. Even through the gun glasses, it was impossible to clearly see the machine gun castle on the position. Although several guns fired together, it was actually a thunder and a small raindrop.

Although the two MG34 machine guns did not hide in the machine gun castle, because the machine gun itself is small, it is often carried by the machine gunman to transfer the position after firing a hundred bullets. The flexible movement made the Japanese army grit their teeth and grit their teeth but they could do nothing!

The three mortars are hidden in the exclusive artillery position of the back slope mortar that is excavated behind the mountain. Not to mention the direct aiming guns like infantry cannons, their goal is not, even mountain cannons or howitzers are not bombarded from the side, but they must hit them with extreme precision, otherwise they will just let the artillery listen!

The artillery observer was holding a telephone on the top of the mountain and constantly reporting the parameters. The mortars below kept throwing shells into the barrel with their heads in their heads, and the commanders asked: Don't stop!

That feeling really doesn't feel too good!

"Baga! All the Chinese are dead!" Yin Tangxiu Zhongzuo, who was standing in the shade of the tree, cursed with anger.

As the captain of the First Infantry Brigade of the 83rd Infantry Corps, if the 83rd Infantry Corps is the vanguard of the entire division, then his First Infantry Corps is the vanguard among the vanguards.

After receiving the forwarding of the Legion Commander of the corps, no, it should be the military order of the acting division commander of the Excellency Nagano, Yin Tangshu's smart little head began to rotate at the speed of light.

The news that Lieutenant General Washizu Matsuhei is certainly sad, and the generals of the entire division are likely to bear the cost, but from another perspective, this has freed up an extremely important position, right?

Major General Nagano is now an agent, and there is an 80% chance of removing the agent in the future. Then the three infantry corps captains will have the opportunity to be promoted to the position of Major General Commander. What about the spare colonel's cascade captain?

Who else is better than me? Yin Tangxiu's confidence does not come out of thin air.

He is the only middle-level captain of the Army in the 21st Division. Although he does not serve as the deputy captain of the corps, within the 83rd Infantry Regiment, the other two captains of the corps will take the initiative to salute him when they see him. The captain of the corps, Colonel Matsuura, was polite to him and did not act as an ordinary subordinate.

In fact, not to mention the B-type divisions like the 21st Division, there are not many infantry squadrons who are in permanent divisions and the captain of the infantry squadron are the central assistants.

This is actually related to the composition of the 21st Division. The soldiers of the newly formed 21st Division, established three months ago, are composed of: the three-year soldiers recruited in 35 years, one-quarter of the two-year soldiers recruited in 37 years, and one-half of the reserve soldiers. That is, the proportion of veterans is only one-quarter, and the remaining 75% are small scumbags. Officers at all levels are naturally also from reserve troops.

Yin Tangxiu'er, a veteran officer who has been living in the reserve force for many years, has average abilities, but his military rank is not low due to his years of hard work, but his military position is limited, so he eventually has to "high rank and low rank"!

Originally, Yin Tangxiu's ambition was to rise to the level of the Chinese battlefield and become the captain of the infantry regiment, but he never dreamed that before the war started, the legendary big pie fell from the sky, although it had not hit him yet.

Master Amaterasu has already given him a chance. Whether he can win this position depends on his own efforts.

Therefore, when he received the military order from the acting division commander, Yin Tangxiu, who was eager to seek merit, came out like this and moved the front-line trenches forward 600 meters away from the Chinese military defense line!

In his perception, the Chinese army is not short of ammunition, but also a saving army, and will definitely not waste unnecessary things!

As a result, the facts were very different from what he imagined, and the Chinese showed off his face!

Not only were there heavy machine guns firing, but several mortars never stopped. In less than 20 minutes, at least 200 shells were bombed!

That's 200 shells, not 200 rounds!

When I remembered that I saw smoke rising in the mountains and fields before, I smiled at the officers around me with a calm expression and said with contempt: "Poor Chinese, don't you know that they are useless? The brave imperial infantry is not afraid of such harassment! I believe that it won't take long before the pitiful and stupid Chinese will give up on their own initiative!"

A cheerful laughter rang out in the woods!

How cheerful the laughter was at the beginning, the Japanese Nakazu felt how painful his face was to be beaten by the Chinese!

There is no need to look at the casualties that have not been reported on the front line, dozens of people were carried back just from his telescope view.

The Chinese used almost 'prodigal son' to teach Yin Tangxiu, who had just arrived on the battlefield, a lesson was first given to Yin Tangxiu.

This battle was definitely not as easy as he thought.

Fortunately, half an hour later, the confidence of the Japanese Nakasa, who was beaten by the Chinese, was once again saved by the fire from his own artillery group.

Under the strict order of the angry Kameichiro Nagano, the 36 75mm mountain cannons of the Japanese Artillery Corps moved the artillery position 2,000 meters forward, nearly 5,000 meters from the front line of Niangziguan!

This is the distance that the Japanese artillery still feels safe!

Because the Chinese army does not have heavy artillery in North China, the most common equipment is the imitation of the 41 75mm mountain cannon, with a range of only 6,000 meters.

The artillery will never be placed on the front line, at least 2,000 meters away from the infantry defense line. Even if the Chinese estimate the approximate area of ​​the artillery position based on the ballistics, their artillery can only sigh!

The Japanese have very precise calculations, but if you don’t know your opponent, don’t calculate again next time.

The four-line regiment's gun group is indeed at least 2,000 meters away from the front line, but the mountain cannon company is not equipped with imitation of the Four-One mountain cannon, but the Swedish Bofos 75 mountain cannon, with a maximum range of up to 9,300 meters, catching up with the 105 howitzer equipped by the Japanese army!

Unfortunately, the Japanese army did not know such a fact!

So, they happily opened their firepower, and the 36 75 mountain cannons raised their guns and outputted them with all their strength!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! All the positions of the mountainous areas exceeding 1,500 meters are shrouded in smoke!

Although this time, the Japanese army used 36 artillery pieces this time, and the fire was concentrated at 36 6-kilogram shells, which could cover nearly 10,000 square meters of damage!

From Yin Tangxiu's perspective, it is much more terrifying than the previous four 105 grenades.

"Yo Xi! Hurry up, blow them to death!" The Japanese Army Nakasa almost patted his thigh to help his artillerymen.

"Your Excellency Zhongzuo, have you ordered the front to speed up the time to dig the trenches?" The staff officers on the side tweetly reminded their boss who quickly walked out of the embarrassment.

If the artillery bombardment is over and the depth of the trench excavation is not enough, and the Chinese will come back to the previous ones that they would consume and harass the shells, it would be really embarrassing.

"Baga! Is this a matter of saying? The brave imperial infantry will never waste time like stupid and hateful Chinese!" Yin Tangxiu glared at his subordinate in dissatisfaction.

This is also a reality. There are many people who flatter, but there will always be subordinates who are not open to their eyes and will disturb their leaders' good mood!

But that's it, Yin Tangxiu is not a fool after all. He knows that among his subordinates, he still needs people with real skills, listen to opinions with kindness, and issue military orders to order hundreds of Japanese troops on the front line to speed up the time to dig the front-line trenches.

This kind of trench is not used for defense, but it can be used for front-line infantry attacks and short rest.

After all, this kind of offensive and defensive battle has never been successful once, and there will always be repeated many times.

And on the side of the Four-Road Group, Pang Dahai is also asking for battle!

"Director Ye, the mountain artillery company of the artillery battalion requested a counterattack. The front-line scouts have determined the approximate area of ​​the Japanese artillery position through ballistics and gunpowder!"

"No! All departments of the artillery battalion will continue to be on standby. If there is no order from superiors to fire a cannon and fight back, the military law will be ruthless!" Ye Chenghuan decisively and simply rejected Pang Dahai's request for war.

"Director Ye, the Japanese artillery fire is fierce, but it misjudged the range of our artillery, and there are scouts to help repair the ballistics. It is a rare moment of counterattack. Why should we refuse Deputy Battalion Commander Pang's request for battle?" A captain and staff member asked Ye Chenghuan curiously.

"Hehe, Company Commander Yang, please tell me the reasons for my help and see if you are right!" At this time of war, Ye Chenghuan changed his previous rigorousness and took good care of the questions raised by his subordinates to take the examination of Yang Xiaoshan, the company commander of the communications company who worked together with the General Staff.

As soon as he came to the Four Army Regiment, he had heard of the young people whom the Tang regiment admired the most, Qian Dazhu, Zhao Daqiang, Wei Donglai, Gu Xishui, these two companies, either the company commanders of the infantry company or the deputy company commanders of the reconnaissance company, had outstanding achievements in several major wars and were worthy of the appreciation of the Tang regiment.

Only Yang Xiaoshan is an exception. He was promoted quickly, from a small top corps to a lieutenant in the army, and his position was from a spy company commander to a company commander of the communications company. However, the internal affairs forces have never had the experience of serving as a combat-type chief officer of the front-line troops. It seemed that they were appreciated by Tang Tuanzou, but it was more like the legendary Tang Tuanzou when he broke into the Sihang Warehouse alone. Tang Tuanzou was the only one who helped Tang Tuanzou. Tang Tuanzou wanted to repay kindness.

During the months since his contact with Yang Xiaoshan, Yang Xiaoshan has also performed very steadily, with a maturity far beyond his peers, but he has not shown any sharpness! Ye Chenghuan, who has seen countless people, is also a subordinate who cannot see through.

"Director Ye did not allow the artillery battalion to counterattack, perhaps it was because our 12 Bofos mountain cannons were not sharp enough, but because the Japanese 41 mountain cannon actually caused little damage to our position. If he beat up half of his life as soon as the war started, with the characteristics of the Japanese army, he would definitely ask the rear to replenish his artillery before he dared to fight again.

After the Japanese army found that the range of our artillery was miscalculated, they would definitely reflect on it. If they were not able to send them, they would be heavy artillery like 105 howitzers, which would be a problem for our army, so it would be better to keep the Japanese 75 small cannons so that they would think they were very lively!

In addition, good steel must be used on the blade. The 12 Bofos mountain cannons are one of our group's killer weapons. If they are not exposed, they will be taken out. Once they are taken out, they will have to let the Japanese know how many eyes Mr. Ma has!" Yang Xiaoshan thought about it for a moment and said calmly.

"Good guy, you really have no weak soldiers under your command. The elite soldiers who followed the regiment commander from the Sihang Warehouse were different. I almost saw through my little calculations!" Ye Chenghuan was full of praise after hearing this.

"Director Ye, I have learned from you and Chief Gong during this period. Just don't dislike me as a student." A red color surged on Yang Xiaoshan's slightly honest face, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

Although Yang Xiaoshan is now carrying nearly 100 people, he is actually only 20 years old, which is about the same age as most soldiers.

The honest and shy nature of his honesty and shyness has not changed much with his military position.

No wonder Tang Dao wanted Yang Xiaoshan to first train in spies, communications and other companies. On the one hand, he still had many shortcomings, but more of them wanted him to continue to learn and improve with others! The key is that he really has this potential. It seems that this person is more likely to lead Qian Dazhu and others to become the leader of the first battalion in the future. Ye Chenghuan suddenly realized it in his heart.

Ye Chenghuan was not aware of Tang Dao's future plan for the Four Army Regiment. With a sufficiently stable rear, the battlefield in North China also changed from the Japanese offensive state to a stalemate. The main force of the Four Army Regiment would not stay in a corner, and would be scattered to a wider battlefield behind enemy lines in battalions and companies.

If you are an infantry company, you can develop into an infantry battalion. That is your ability, so be the battalion commander!

As long as penicillin is not cut off in the overseas market and can continue to transfusion domestically, no matter how many soldiers there are, the Sixing Group will be able to eat it.

Of course, compared with the larger expansion of the 80th Army in the future, Tang Dao still insists on taking the elite troops route. All new recruits who develop must go through three months of recruiting period before they can go to the battlefield, otherwise it will be meaningless to consume the young and strong base areas!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! China's population base is large, but 18-year-olds are raised by their mothers and fathers. The passing of a life is the eternal sadness of a family. Even as a consumable, it must be consumed meaningfully.

At most 9 infantry battalions are acceptable to Tang Dao, and can provide all standard weapons and military pay. Yang Xiaoshan can only be regarded as one of the new battalion commander-level candidates. Whether it can be done depends on whether he has really improved by following the commanders these days.

But obviously, Yang Xiaoshan grew much better than when he broke out from the Guangde battlefield. Even the tactics discussed by Chenghuan and Tang Dao were able to guess at all.

As Yang Xiaoshan said, Tang Dao believes that with the current level of the reverse incline fortifications on the front line, the 75 mountain cannons cannons cannons with limited damage, so it is better to keep them first to avoid the Japanese reinforcement of larger-caliber artillery. Anyway, their positions will always be in the sight of the scouts lurking in the corner of the battlefield. When they find the right time, they will kill them in one fell swoop.

But the several 105 howitzers that had been fired before were really a confidant. They had to find an opportunity to kill them first. They kept 12 Bofos Mountain cannons and did not fire them. In fact, they were waiting for them to take the bait!

It was also under the guidance of this tactical concept that within an hour when the Japanese army madly bombarded 36 75 mountain cannons, the entire Chinese side only used 4 Bofos mountain cannons and 10 82 mortars to retaliate against the areas that the Japanese army on the front line might be in.

It is precisely this intensity of artillery fire that gave Yin Tangxiu a general idea of ​​the artillery that China has. This should be most of the artillery that a normal Chinese infantry division can have, and the jade shattered by the former division commander also has its origin.

The 82mm caliber mortar used by China is an extremely annoying artillery, especially in this kind of mountain war, where there are almost no dead spots for shooting, but the power of the shell is still too small. Especially when the front line is stretched long enough, the damage that the mortar with no more than double-digit numbers can cause to the infantry, at least it cannot determine the direction of the battlefield.

In other words, the casualties caused by mortars are completely acceptable to the division.

After all, the front hill alone that the First Infantry Brigade was going to attack was nearly 800 meters wide.

The 83 Infantry Regiment has three infantry brigades. Even if one is used as a reserve team and two infantry brigades form a formation, it will be a large battlefield of nearly 2,000 meters.

As the Japanese army continued to launch a crazy shelling, the second infantry brigade of the 83 Infantry Regiment also arrived at its battlefield.

This infantry brigade was even more fierce. It took less than half an hour to dig out hundreds of meters of simple trenches that could hide people. The depth was no more than 50 cm. Then it deployed the heavy machine gun squadron on both wings and put on a strong attack.

This approach has not stimulated the first battalion of the Four Lines, as the defensive party, but it has deeply stimulated Yin Tangxiu Zhongzuo.

"Baga! Is the Second Infantry Brigade trying to earn merit? We passed our military order, and the 3rd Infantry Squadron attacked the enemy as an arrow. The 2nd Squadron was 300 meters behind it to cover it! The 1st and 4th Squadrons were temporarily on standby and told them that the individual soldiers should be kept away from being injured by the Chinese mortars. The heavy machine gun squadron and infantry artillery squadron of the brigade will provide fire cover for them!" Yin Tangxiu couldn't wait to issue an offensive order.

Of course, Yin Tangxiuer graduated from the non-commissioned officer school. After issuing military orders, he immediately generated electricity to the division headquarters. Because the infantry was about to launch an attack, he asked the artillery corps to extend the artillery fire to the enemy's defense line for 20 minutes.

This is not only a fear of injuring one's own soldiers, but also a hope that extended artillery fire can suppress the Chinese artillery.

There are shells that constantly explode around you. Even if the artillery is a few hundred meters away from the real target, it can cause a certain amount of psychological pressure to people. Under the psychological pressure that may be torn to pieces by artillery fire at any time, it is good that his level of artillery can be half as good as that of normal training.

The Japanese army had nearly 200 infantry, three infantry squads, with individual soldiers at least seven or eight meters apart, scattered on the wide hillside, not obvious at all.

But anyone with some knowledge of the battlefield knows that it would be bad if these 200 Japanese troops were allowed to attack the first trench located on the mountainside.

Due to the mountain situation, the second trench that is very close to the top of the mountain is less than 150 meters!

After the two trenches, there is a back slope tunnel behind the ridge for storing military supplies and hiding personnel.

Therefore, when the Japanese artillery fire began to extend backwards, more than a hundred people rushed from the traffic trench toward the first line of defense.

The dark blue uniforms of the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment and the pure German steel helmets worn on their heads that had been transported back from the Krupp's arms warehouse were also clearly reflected in the eyes of the Japanese commander holding the telescope.

For example, the Asahi Shimbun reporter who had just arrived on the front line and followed the 2nd Infantry Squadron of the First Infantry Battalion, after seeing this scene in the telescope, he was excited to write the title of today's battlefield experience in his mind.
