Chapter 56 The Japanese suddenly calmed down
"Dog gods are so cunning! We use planes as bait to catch them, and then use shelling to take the pot." Deng Ying looked glad with a cold sweat.
"Luckily, the wise officer!"
"Little stool! If I had the skill of flattering the superior, I would have run back to the position and called on my brothers to prepare for the battle."
Lei Xiong was proudly showing off at this moment.
"Look at your child's understanding, see how fast I reacted. As soon as Brother Tang Dao reminded me, I immediately knew what bad water was in the Japanese's belly."
Lei Xiong and Shangguan Yun are old qualifications, but the second company commander Deng Ying and the third company commander Shi Hao have only mentioned it in the past one or two years. Lei Xiong usually calls for justice and does not bully them. Now he is proud of seeing through the Japanese army's tricks, so he naturally feels a bit ridiculous.
Of course, Deng Ying would not be accustomed to big brother because of this.
"Bah, I don't know who just shouted that he wanted to give the Japanese plane a color. Can Lei Da Cannon be a little bit of shame?" Yang Ruifu, the battalion commander who had just walked down from the observation post on the roof, cursing with a smile.
"Battery Commander, you can't say that. Red flowers must also be flanked by green leaves. I have to let my brother Tang Dao show off!" Lei Xiong took it for granted that I deliberately lowered my wisdom in order to help my brothers.
Tang Dao...I believe it!
"Haha, you Lei Dapao is such a good guy! I believe your evil." Yang Ruifu couldn't help but laugh.
After breaking the Japanese plan, the Army Lieutenant Colonel was in a good mood, and let his subordinates joke with each other, looking at Tang Dao again: "Platform Commander Tang, what do you think the Japanese army will do next?"
The command center became quiet and looked at Tang Dao.
If these captains had just thought that Tang Dao was a strong man, a ruthless man, and a fierce man, just now, the most accurate judgment that Tang Dao made on the battlefield situation was the first to make, they had actually regarded Tang Dao as at least a level or even a higher level.
His opinion seems to have gradually influenced the decisions of the two commanders.
"It's nothing more than organizing infantry to attack. Now their howitzers have set their firing range. As long as the infantry does not enter 200 meters, they can cover the warehouse at any time. The significance of machine guns going up to the roof of the stairs is no longer great." Tang Dao thought for a moment and replied.
"I just don't know what new tricks they have this time. If they were just infantry, after the last test, the Japanese army should know that unless they were determined to suffer huge casualties."
Tang Dao's answer was just the norm this time, and there was nothing innovative about it.
However, the Army Lieutenant Colonel nodded slightly, "Yes, if I expected it well, the reason why the Japanese army was so eager to get rid of our machine guns was not because of the infantry, but because..."
"Tank!" Deng Ying and Lei Xiong answered almost at the same time.
"You're being smart now?" Lei Xiong bared his teeth and laughed.
"Hehe, the Japanese are going to hit the iron plate this time. I don't have only one machine cannon, but two. I'll let them see what it means to have a peach blossom on their faces."
"Sir, please transfer a machine gun to my left-wing position! I think the Japanese army may even attack the left-wing position." Deng Ying did not argue with Lei Xiong, but turned his eyes to the Army Lieutenant Colonel's request.
"Did all two machine guns be used?" Lieutenant Colonel of the Army paced slowly in the house and suddenly stopped:
"No, but the companies are waiting for the battle, but without my order, the machine cannon cannot move for the time being."
"Why?" Deng Ying was slightly stunned.
"Didn't the Japanese army even play the trick of "shocking the snake"? Then, if we don't accompany them to perform this scene, will they be willing to put out all their strength?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel had a confident and faint smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with cold light.
Extremely dangerous light.
It was indeed a ruthless man! No wonder he could command these 400 people in time and space, and defended for three days and nights under the siege of a Japanese infantry regiment, which made the Japanese army unable to advance.
Can you do without some scheming?
Of course, Tang Dao knew that this Army Lieutenant Colonel was going to dig a big hole for the Japanese army.
If he was the Japanese commander, and he would not speak for a long time when he saw the opponent's machine guns, wouldn't he have invested a large amount of troops to achieve success after using a small amount of troops to test it?
After all, this is no longer a simple fortress offensive and defensive battle, but has become a "show" that neither China nor Japan can lose!
In the concession, there are countless pairs of reporters' eyes and many cameras staring at this battlefield.
The performance of China and Japan on the battlefield, whether excellent or ugly, will be enlarged by the uncrowned king - the pen in the hands of the reporters, and thus spread to the entire world.
Especially for the Japanese army that were about to occupy the entire Songhu metropolis, they were not enough to win alone, they had to win beautifully and wonderfully.
Excellent students are expected to be higher, that's what it means.
Unexpectedly, the slag became an advantage at this moment.
The Army Lieutenant Colonel captured the Japanese army's current mentality of winning quickly.
I would rather show weakness and let the Japanese army take advantage first, and then wait until there are enough Japanese troops falling into the pit, then fill the pit and suffocate a large number of people to death.
This is the ruthless person who is not afraid of death or even more afraid of killing people!
The Japanese army began to act.
Not only did the Japanese army on the front start tactical movement from all over the trenches to the front of the warehouse, but the Japanese army on both sides of the east and west were also ready to move.
But this time, the Japanese army became much more cautious than before.
Perhaps in order to prevent the fire from being fired by the heavy machine guns of the Chinese defenders in the warehouse, the Japanese army did not invest as much troops as imagined, and the gap between the infantry was large.
However, the infantry did not immediately attack as they imagined.
The busiest thing about the Japanese army was the engineers.
Like hard-working little ants, more than 200 Japanese engineers built fortifications on the north, east and west sides of the warehouse, relying on the houses in the ruins with sandbags, wood and even steel plates.
That should be built for heavy firepower points such as heavy machine guns or 37mm cannons, mainly to prevent them from being "hanged" by mortars in the warehouse.
However, the Japanese tanks that several officers imagined did not appear on the battlefield.
"The Japanese's determination this time is greater than we thought!" A trace of solemnity flashed in the Army Lieutenant Colonel's eyes.
The lieutenants who took turns to watch the battlefield ahead with the telescope of the battalion commander Yang Ruifu's telescope, looked at the battlefield ahead without any relaxation.
The Japanese army dispatched infantry just as Tang Dao predicted, but they wanted to test whether the machine gun was really knocked out by them. But suddenly, they went through a lot of effort to build semi-permanent fortifications, and they actually started to sharpen their knives without delaying the chopping of wood. This was a headache.
As a curve cannon, a mortar is a magical weapon to attack infantry. As long as it is within the shooting range, there are almost no dead corners. But its biggest shortcoming is that it has no ability to break hardness. When encountering tin cans such as solid fortifications or tanks, it can only stare at them.
If the Japanese army were asked to deploy infantry artillery or 37mm rapid artillery to the frontier of four or five hundred meters like this, although it would not be a catastrophe, casualties would inevitably be.
The windows of the front position are mainly piled with sandbags and logs, which cannot withstand the bombardment of the direct aiming cannon.
Even Tang Dao could not come up with a good solution in the face of this situation.
Chapter completed!
