As soon as the two shells were discharged, the second gunner, who had loaded the two 82 mortars, took the new shells from the hands of the third gunner, continued to reload, and fired.
Fastest updates Twenty shells were placed in the ammunition reserve in the circular firing position of the 82nd mortar platoon, and ten rounds were also placed next to the mortars, ensuring sufficient supply, rapid fire, that is, explosive fire.
After Zhang Wei ordered fire support, Dong Erli came to a four-shot rapid fire, four shots from each cannon, that is, eight shells, and these eight shells were delivered to the target area at high speed within more than ten seconds.
"Report, four times in one shift" "Report, the second shift and the fourth send have been completed" After the two artillery groups finished firing, Dong Erli quickly raised the binoculars and observed the shooting effect with Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy fire squadron beside him.
This round of shells hit very accurately, almost no need to rest, eight 82 shells accurately fell on the friendly Zhou Pu battalion outside the first line of trenches, in the shells, you can also see the stumps and bodies of the Japanese soldiers, these shells exploded in front of the trenches, just hit the Japanese troops trying to break through.
In the current battle situation, in the trenches on the first line of Zhou Pu's battalion, some Japanese troops have broken in, and the Japanese troops who were hit are the troops who broke through to the trenches in the future.
"Extended Shot" Dong Erli shouted, the first round of rapid fire blew up a group of Japanese troops who were going to continue to advance, and the only thing the mortars could do was to assist the friendly forces to cut off the advance of the Japanese troops outside the trench, so Dong Erli ordered to extend back to block the advance of the Japanese army.
The two mortars began to fire again after the rapid fire, projecting shells farther away from the friendly front-line trenches to block the Japanese troops, and during the firing, the two mortars deliberately increased the firing frequency, and sent more shells in front of the trenches where the friendly troops were broken through, and the shells piled up by the 82 mortar platoon were rapidly consumed The position of the Zhou Pu battalion, after the fire support of the mortar platoon of the teaching brigade, got a little respite, the round of shelling just now, hit the Japanese army that continued to advance, in fact, the trenches on the first line have been broken through by the Japanese army.
At the weakest point of the first line of trenches, the Japanese army had already rushed into a batch, and the artillery bombardment of the teaching brigade happened to come at this time, and as soon as the Japanese assault troops entered, the shells hit the troops behind, so to speak, the shelling came one step later, and the weak points of the first-line trenches of the Zhou Pu battalion would be filled by the Japanese infantry.
The Japanese troops who rushed into the front-line trenches of the Zhoupu camp roughly had the strength of two detachments, and these Japanese troops were worthy of being the first batch to enter, very fierce, and after rushing in, they used all kinds of light weapons in their hands to expand the results of the battle, and attacked along the trenches, and when they rushed in, the defenders in the weak places of the first-line trenches of the Zhoupu battalion were almost all killed and wounded.
Therefore, when these Japanese troops rushed in, they did not encounter effective resistance at all, and the defense line of Zhou Pu's battalion was broken through here, indicating that the defense here has reached a rather weak point, and it is also the place where the Japanese attack is the strongest.
The Japanese infantry who were crawling outside also threw a large number of grenades, and the previous Japanese breakthrough was also suppressed several times by the second-line trenches of the Zhou Pu battalion, and only now did the breakthrough really occur, although the follow-up troops were blocked outside by the mortar fire of the teaching brigade.
In the trenches, the Japanese troops who broke into it were divided into two groups, one of them held near the breakthrough, relying on the first-line trenches of Zhou Pu's battalion to protect the breakthrough, creating conditions for the troops behind to continue to attack, but the follow-up troops are still suffering from the mortar fire extended fire of the teaching brigade and cannot rush into the breakthrough, and the other Japanese troops who broke into the trench fought along the trench and the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Pu battalion, trying to expand the results of the battle and control all the trenches on the first line.
The division of labor between the two multi-detachment Japanese troops was clear, and the tactical change was rapid, and on the other hand, almost all of them were composed of new recruits, and the reaction speed and counterattack awareness were much worse, which was also the inevitable thing of the new troops' initial battle.
The first trench of the Zhou Pu battalion was not all broken through by the Japanese army, but it was a point on the trench that was attacked by the Japanese army, and the part that the Japanese army entered was no longer the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Pu battalion.
In the first trench, at the feet of the Japanese army, are the corpses of the two armies, most of them are the soldiers of the Zhou Pu battalion who were killed by grenades and grenadiers before the attack, there are scattered Japanese soldiers, the corpses are twisted and fallen in the trenches, and the Japanese troops who expanded the results of the battle probably have more than one detachment, and they took the trench as the path to launch an assault to expand the results of the battle, and launched a close shooting with the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Pu battalion in the trenches.
The fierce battle was in full swing, and the dozen or so Japanese troops who had expanded their results could not all be deployed due to the influence of the trench space, so they could only advance in a row of two, and the firepower pillar was a crooked light machine gun, and the Japanese army used light machine guns to shoot the head, supplemented by 38 rifles, and covered each other's attacks and advances.
The Japanese machine gunner pulled the trigger in a half-crouching position, and after a few gunshots, two screams were heard from the trench ahead, and then a gray-black corpse wearing a 35 steel helmet appeared in the trench.
"Assault" The leader of the Japanese army shouted, and the Japanese army quickly advanced, stepping on the soldier's body and killing the trench in front.
The Japanese assault team advanced four or five meters, and with a bang, a 28-gun grenade landed on the trench on the right side, and the shrapnel knocked down two riflemen, and more Japanese troops were hit by this grenade, and then slowed down.
Four or five meters away, a platoon of soldiers used grenades to stop the advance of the Japanese army, and blocked the Japanese army, led by a Czech light machine gun, and began to shoot face to face with the Japanese army.
With the Czechs facing each other, the two light machine guns are fired at each other, and the infantry behind the light machine guns are attacking with rifles, grenades and grenades.
The Czech light machine gun was evenly matched against the crooked handle, and it was face-to-face, and it did not pay attention to any shooting skills, but it was a grenade in the back, and the attack of the gun grenade was extremely tragic.
The infantry set up 28 grenades in the rear and fired at the Japanese troops.
In the "put" formal rifle threw a Type 28 grenade, and soon the sound of explosion was heard in front, and there was no time to observe the shooting effect, and the shooter loaded another grenade.
"Grenade" Before loading the bullets, the soldiers in the trenches exclaimed, a smoking Type 91 grenade fell into the trench, and almost all the recruits who threw grenades in the back to assist in firing gun grenades, these recruits were already nervous, looking at the smoking grenades, they were all stupid.
At this moment, the young infantry platoon commander who was fighting in the overseer dropped his shell gun and crawled wildly on the ground.
"I didn't see any grenades, they all dodged," shouted the infantry platoon leader, picked up the grenade, and threw it out of the trench with all his strength.
The grenade was thrown, and before it hit the ground, it exploded, and the shrapnel of fifty Type 91 grenades hit the outer wall of the trench, shaking every soldier in the trench:
