Before they could see the appearance of the Chinese position, the 232nd Infantry Regiment was forced to use its only big killing weapon.

Four 75mm mountain cannons were pulled to the forefront by the Japanese artillery soldiers through great hardships.

However, the endless mountains and the dense forests that are beyond your eye make the four Japanese artillery basically fall into the state of blind bullying.

In addition, the communication between infantry and artillery was extremely poor. When an infantry attacked, they had to go far to inform the artillery. Then the artillery pushed the artillery over with all their might. The time that was delayed, the Chinese hiding in the mountains and forests had already escaped.

To be honest, the effect is not very big.

But no matter what, four 75 mountain cannons hit more than a dozen 6-kilogram shells on the hillside. In an instant, smoke from the hillside and the dense forests splashed everywhere, and there was still a shock.

At least, when the firepower teams of the mountain infantry company lurking in the mountains look at this situation, they will never easily attack the target unless there is a special terrain that can avoid shells and concentrate on fire.

After all, if four howitzers gather fire, they often cover an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. No matter how well the officers and soldiers of the mountain infantry company are pretending, no matter how exquisite the shooting skills are, and no matter how flexible the movements are, they are all flesh and blood. They don’t need a shell, just a shell skin, and they can kill an elite soldier.

This loss-making business is not cost-effective, and the soldiers of the mountain infantry company will not do it.

With the support of the Japanese wing-level mountain artillery squadron, the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 232 Infantry Regiment was finally able to move forward smoothly.

But Naochi George obviously didn't realize that with the four mountain cannons firing again and again, radio waves kept rippling in the mountains.

Just like the principle of the firepower team to attack the Japanese grenade launcher team first, the biggest threat to the mountain positions is the Japanese mountain artillery and infantry artillery. Another purpose of Gu Xishui sent dozens of elite troops to continuously attack and harass the Japanese army was to reconnaissance the heavy firepower of the Japanese army in advance.

The walkie-talkie has increased the efficiency of the battlefield by more than 20%. The four 150-plus squadrons ambushed on the reverse slope position can almost know the approximate location of the Japanese mountain artillery squadron in real time.

An artillery observation position built on the top of the mountain is constantly observed and calculated based on the area location provided by the lurking firepower team, and finally forms specific coordinates and then transmitted to the artillery platoon leader in the fortifications on the mountainside.

To put it bluntly, the four biggest killer weapons in Naosha's hand, the four mountain cannons, from the moment he ordered to move forward to provide artillery support to the vanguard infantry brigade, the four 150-plus quadrilateral of the mountain infantry company were already staring at their own prey.

This is more effective than killing more than 100 Japanese infantry.

After all, the Japanese infantry corps with a force of up to 3,000 people lost an infantry squadron, which was only injured. However, these four mountain cannons with a range of up to 6,000 meters were finished, which was equivalent to the cavalry losing their war horses and infantry losing their spears.

The 70mm infantry artillery and 90mm mortars equipped by each infantry brigade are not only much less powerful than mountain cannons, but also due to terrain reasons, although the 60mm mortars equipped by each infantry platoon are only 1,300 meters in range, they can also be obtained.

Therefore, when the vanguard of the Third Infantry Brigade was trying hard to climb the hillside of nearly 50 degrees, gunfire sounds were everywhere on the Chinese position winding up to 500 meters on the rugged mountains.

4 MG34's roaring and splattering flames could not be covered even the brilliant winter days, which made the eyes of the Grand Master Yongyi, more than 500 meters away, hurt.

It was definitely the brightest gun that Major Toyaka I have ever seen in his life, but that brightness often represents the deepest despair of the infantry.

According to the order of the lieutenant platoon leader, the four MG42 machine guns hidden in the bushes showed their greatest traits from the beginning without any concealment.

The 250-round ammunition belt was completely shot in 10 seconds. Although it was already close to 0 degrees in the middle of winter, the heat coming out of the barrel still burned the hair on the forehead of the machine gun shooter.

The ammunition hand that was responsible for holding the ammunition belt was covered with charred spots, which was caused by the hot shells that kept flying for a moment.

In addition to the four "Hitler lawnmowers" launched at full speed, 68 spearmen in the first platoon of the Mountain Infantry Company, led by the platoon leader of the lieutenant, all poured out the firepower of the guns in their hands at full speed.

According to post-war statistics, in the first 10 seconds of the war, the first platoon of the mountain infantry company fired nearly 2,300 bullets of various types.

This is definitely an extremely terrifying firepower intensity. If calculated based on the width of the entire battlefield 500 meters, it means that on this width, there are an average of 4.5 bullets per meter through space.

A Japanese infantry squadron who arrived in this area first fell to the ground after being caught off guard, but strangely, no Japanese infantry fought back.

It’s not that they are all there, but in the face of this fierce firepower, any infantry who dares to lift his head will be beaten into a sieve in the next moment, putting their bodies tightly close to the ground, and wishing they could bury their heads into the soil. The most correct choice is.

The Japanese infantry's choice was correct, but after 10 seconds, the firepower of Chinese officers and soldiers replaced the magazine and the ammunition belt was significantly weakened, and there was still little gunfire that could counterattack.

That's because, in those 10 seconds of crazy firepower, a nearly full Japanese infantry squadron was shot and killed 59 people and injured 61 people on the spot. The infantry that was still intact was less than half as good as before.

"Baga! Heavy machine gun squadron, fight back! Fight back quickly! Artillery team, blow them to death!" Major Toyong I could no longer care about the dirty soil and leaves in the mountains. He crawled in the grass and looked at the large 'shame yellow' lodging in the telescope's vision, and issued a military order angrily.

The incompetent Baga reappears on the battlefield.

But the Japanese reacted very quickly. Six Type 92 heavy machine guns that had already occupied a height of about 600 meters away roared wildly, causing dirt to splash on the Chinese position that was disguised by green plants.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Two 70mm infantry cannons started firing one minute after the war started, and six thick black smoke rose up from the position, mixed with stones and broken wood that were smashed by shells.

"Everyone buried his head low. Without my orders, I would not be allowed to shoot me!" The lieutenant platoon leader bent over and walked through the trenches, yelling heart-wrenchingly.

The dedication to burn fire is to use concealment to the greatest extent to kill the Japanese army. Now that the purpose has been achieved, the revenge of the Japanese army with heavy firepower has come, there is naturally no need to fight with the Japanese.

Company Commander Gu had already deliberately emphasized before the war that our mountain infantry company should use everything we can to fight this battle well, not only to win, but also to win beauty.

What is beauty? There is only one standard for Tang regiments. Unless it is a position that cannot retreat half a step, it requires a death battle without considering the casualty rate. In other battlefields, the smaller the casualty rate, the more beautiful it is!

Under such tactical guiding ideology, a wave of "Tortoise Fist" beat the Japanese army in the forefront so that they could not find the North. The first platoon actually acted as a "head-reducing turtle". Not to mention the MG42 machine gun that had just been powerful, even the rifle soldiers opened fire, and collectively retracted back to a trench of 1.5 meters deep built along the mountain.

Although the infantry's bombardment was quite breathtaking, it actually only exploded two trenches. The three soldiers closest to the gun point, except for the bruised stones rolled up by the air waves, their eardrums, which were wearing simple earplugs, were so painful that they were blown by the huge explosion, and there were basically no external injuries.

The first wave of heavy firepower on both sides was basically used, and China won the battle loss ratio of more than 0 to 100.

The reason why it is basically used is because the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 232 Infantry Regiment has put in the effort, but the 1st Platoon of the Mountain Infantry Company has not yet.

There are 4 doors and 60 yards in the first row, less than 80 meters behind the position. There is a 100-ton boulder that is seven or eight meters wide, and there is a small cave behind which can hide from thirty people. There is an open space of about sixty or seventy square meters in the middle, which is simply the most ideal position for such mortar artillery.

After six or seven days of renovation, the four small cannons each have independent shell storage points and traffic trenches that can be evacuated to the cave. Special artillery observation points are also built on the rocks. Not only are there camouflage fortifications, they can also be condescendingly. Through telescopes and artillery observers, they can clearly see the front of the mountain within 800 meters.

"Liu Mancang, let me fire the Japanese heavy machine gun first, and then deal with him later." The lieutenant platoon leader's roar in the walkie-talkie almost overwhelmed the roar of the infantry artillery shells on the position.

"Platform leader, just watch it!" An infantry sergeant confidently shouted at the walkie-talkie in his hand, then turned his head and shouted at the ready-made gunners behind him: "Brothers, the platoon leader has orders. I will hurry up in the target area of ​​No. 2, the platoon leader has already gotten angry."

30 seconds later, the little gunners made the "OK" gesture. This is not the little gunners' show-off, it is their daily tactical gesture.

The roar of guns and cannons on the battlefield is too loud. No matter how loud the shouts are, they may be drowned by the noise. With tactical gestures, soldiers can understand the intentions of their superiors in a shorter time, which invisibly improves combat efficiency.

"What are you waiting for? I'll shoot me, 10 rapid fires per cannon!" The Army sergeant flushed and waved the small red flag in his hand.

"Swish~~~Swish~~~" The sharp whistle unique to the mortar cut through the sky.

Major Toyaka Ichi's eyes suddenly froze!

Damn it! The Chinese army opposite him was actually equipped with headache-provoking mortars.

The Japanese Army Major, who has more than one year of experience in fighting the Chinese army, fears the most about Chinese equipment, is the mortar that can be shot in a curve.

This kind of gun is not very caliber and not very lethal, but it is a real nightmare for solid fortifications and armor, and for infantry staying in the wilderness.

Because no one can guarantee that within the several square meters he is lying on, a shell will not fall. The only tactic to survive under the attack of such artillery is the blessing of Amaterasu.

Blessed by Amaterasu! The Chinese mortars bombed the frontier infantry. Three seconds before the shells fell, Major Toyaka couldn't help but make ambitions!

This is not how cruel the Japanese Army's chief is, he doesn't care about the casualties of front-line officers and soldiers, but rather that he takes the minority of the two evils and loses heavy firepower. It is definitely a disaster-level for the infantry brigade that wants to attack from the bottom to the top.

But obviously, Amaterasu skipped the job today and ignored him, a devout believer.

The explosion of "Boom! Boom! Boom!" was endless in the ears of Master Fun!

Toyong looked at him and saw smoke rising from the hill less than 200 meters away from his area, with pain in his eyes!

The Chinese are really cruel. The first round of attacks was his heavy machine gun squadron.

Because of haste, all heavy machine guns that occupy the commanding heights will not arrive at the battle position for more than 15 minutes. It is good to fix the heavy machine guns, adjust the firing boundary and ammunition preparations. The bunkers are purely natural, either a tree trunk or a stone.

It may be barely enough to block bullets, let alone such shells falling from the sky.

Without the need for his "clear and confused" eyes, Funaga could think of what kind of heavy blow the eight heavy machine guns he placed on them would encounter.

In particular, the Chinese shells seemed endless, and the continuous shelling lasted for 30 seconds in one breath, with dozens of shells being saturated assaults.

The Japanese Army Major seemed to be in trouble on his face, and he did not wait for his subordinates to report the heavy machine gun squadron to him. After calming down, he quickly ordered: "Ceer to help from the corps captain and request fire support from the mountain artillery squadron. If possible, ask for air support from the division commander. Our headquarters is facing the elite Chinese team now!"

It can only be said that the Japanese Army's top leader's reaction was indeed first-class, and his self-esteem threshold was also low. He didn't care that he had asked for help before. After only two minutes of war, he was shameless and asked for help again, and even took the initiative to raise the level of help.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Such an opponent, even Gu Xishui, must be treated with caution.

However, the quick-responsive Army Major could not be a family, and there was a more proud captain of the noble regiment above him.

Naochi Georgia's biggest weakness is that he is too proud. When he received the "telephone for help" sent by Touchi himself, the first thought that came out of his heart was not to believe in the judgment of his confidant subordinates, but to be deeply ashamed.

What Chinese elite? Is the 33rd Army an elite Chinese? Didn’t it lose its commander of the army under the siege of the two elite infantry corps of the division? The fifth gold medal won by the George family was still shining brightly on his chest. As a result, the most elite infantry brigade under his command had to seek the division commander to ask the navy for air support as soon as the war started. Isn’t this a shame for him, the commander of the regiment?

"Baga! Tell the Grandpa Toyaka that the artillery squadron of the corps will provide artillery support in 5 minutes! Order him to lead the Imperial Warriors to overcome difficulties and defeat the current enemy. I hope to see the Imperial Army Flag floating on the top of the Chinese mountain before sunset."

"The corps leader underestimated the Chinese people on the other side too well. They came prepared and were well-equipped. At least the high-speed machine gun was something my division had never seen on the Chinese battlefield. I even suspected that they were the most elite troops of the 18th Army of China." Holding the telegram replied by George Naoki, Toyonaga's face was full of bitterness.

How arrogant are the Chinese on the front positions? After successfully attacking and killing six heavy machine guns with mortars, they kept shooting the imperial officers and soldiers who were advancing on the hillside or dragging wounded soldiers to evacuate there.

They seem to have known that besides heavy machine guns, it is difficult for only two infantry guns to pose a substantial threat to positions with a width of hundreds of meters!

This is true. After the Chinese side took out the mortar, the two infantry artillery had to be cautious. Every time two artillery fired, they would immediately evacuate. Not to mention the large amount of killing and damage to the enemies on the battlefield, they could not even be suppressed simply.

The Chinese soldiers lying deep in the trench shot the imperial soldiers 130 meters below the hillside.

No matter whether you live or die, don't let it go!

Toyoiichi even watched from the telescope the body of an already bloody imperial officer and soldier splattered with blood. It was the Chinese who fired a gun on the unmoved imperial soldiers.

They did not want anyone to leave that position alive.

Not only are they well-equipped, but they are also cruel and ruthless, which has already highlighted the characteristics that an elite force should have.

The only two 90 mortars used have also tried to attack them, but they are hard to beat the wolves with both hands. The number of Chinese mortars is obviously more. After one round of shots, the 90 mortars are still there, but the gunner killed eight people in battle, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

In this kind of mountain, it is simply a paradise for mortars. The 70mm infantry cannon equipped by the Empire for infantry brigades is really useless.

This is another conclusion drawn by Major Toyaka!

If it weren't for the grenade launcher hidden more than 300 meters away, it would have been a bit threatening to the Chinese on the position below the top of the mountain. The Cangtai Squadron, which was suppressed by the Chinese with guns and bullets, would not have thought that one person could leave there alively.

However, it is also difficult to find the six grenade launchers distributed in the mountains. After the Chinese destroyed heavy machine guns, the target of the attack was these firepower groups that could fire grenades.

Due to the range issue, the grenade launcher does not pose any threat to the Chinese mortars hidden in the mountains and forests, but the other party can bombard them at will, which is completely asymmetrical combat.
