The Japanese artillery bombardment came quickly and fiercely, and the 92nd infantry artillery belonged to the brigade-level anti-aircraft artillery, and in the current artillery bombardment, the Takeda Brigade was called upon as a suppression artillery.
Plenty of shells, a desire for revenge on the offensive, and high morale, the skilled gunners barely used two infantry guns to make the shelling feel of a squadron of artillery of a wing.
From the noisy voices of the squad and platoon commanders of the front-line positions, we can also imagine the previous chaos, and columns of smoke continued to rise in the positions, and the Japanese army fired grenades and explosive grenades at the positions of the teaching brigades.
In the morning, a grenade fell in the flat arm of the cooking class, blowing up all the steamed buns of a flat load, and killing two men, Zhang Wei's command post, a shrapnel fell.
Fortunately, there were more sandbags piled up near the command post, the fortifications were relatively strong, and there were relatively few people around, so there were not many casualties or damage.
Zhang Wei and the heralds also escaped, of course, judging from the process of shelling, these shells hitting in depth did not look like they were launched in a planned and targeted manner.
"Steady, don't move" Qiu Wei did not hide in the anti-artillery hole, but wandered in the trench, the Japanese menacing artillery bombardment made Qiu Wei dare not hide in the anti-artillery hole with peace of mind, this round of long-term fire raid, in Qiu Wei's view, is more like a firepower preparation before the attack, in the front-line trench of the teaching brigade, there are soldiers who stay to be observation posts.
Looking back, there are still those who take refuge by the edge of the traffic trenches, not all of them have anti-artillery holes to hide, and the front-line trenches have anti-artillery holes, but there are still many soldiers who have to rely on the sandbags of the traffic trenches behind to avoid shrapnel.
The front-line position was the main target of the Japanese infantry artillery, and Qiu Wei had to organize his troops in the trenches in order to boost morale and prevent chaos.
Qiu Wei squatted, leaning on the edge of the trench and moving forward quickly, suddenly felt a tremor on the right, and the sound of breaking the air, how could the experienced Qiu Wei not know what this was, immediately lay down, boom, the air wave hit the direction of the enemy along the trench, and the violent explosion hit Qiu Wei's ears, accompanied by a large number of earth and stones, hitting Qiu Wei's steel helmet.
Qiu Wei dodged quickly, lying down and avoiding shrapnel at the same time, Qiu Wei heard a scream a few meters away, there was an observation post in the position, before the shells fell, Qiu Wei saw a group of observation sentries a few meters away.
"What's the situation" Qiu Wei raised his head and shouted to the observation post in the trench ahead, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
He was answered by a sergeant, dragging the body of a man who had been blown up to blood.
"Squadron Leader, the people are gone" The sergeant shook his head.
Qiu Wei crawled over, only to see that the sergeant was dragging another observation sentry, the body was blurred with blood, the whole body was covered with blood, white smoke was emitting from the corpse, and a strong smell of burning was emitted in the air, Qiu Wei could imagine that most of the power of this shell just now was acting on this soldier.
The soldier's face was no longer visible, and his uniform was riddled with bullet holes.
"Drag it down," Qiu Wei said bitterly, and carried the body of the fallen soldier down with the sentry.
In every battle, when the main force of the troops is hidden, observation posts must be left on the position, in the artillery preparation before the Japanese attack, the casualty rate of these observation sentries is the highest, whether they can hide from the shelling half of themselves, the other half depends on their fate, the soldier's luck is not good, the grenade hit directly in front of the trench where he was, and died on the spot.
Qiu Wei continued to walk along the trenches and patrol, stabilizing the defense line of the entire 1st Squadron, which had a small number of soldiers who were slightly panicked during the artillery raid, and the panic in his heart was also suppressed when he saw his squadron leader patrolling around.
Qiu Wei contacted the position of the neighboring second squadron again, the second squadron also guarded the first line of defense, sharing honor and disgrace, and the leader of the second squadron, Mu Chao, was also patrolling the position.
The intensity of the Japanese artillery bombardment, after maintaining a high intensity for a period of time, gradually decreased.
"Hurry up and clean up the corpses" Qiu Wei, who had a black face, shouted, and the deputy squadron leader of the first squadron rushed over and organized the work of cleaning up the position.
The Japanese artillery bombardment was so fierce, and now the intensity of the artillery bombardment has dropped again, and it is self-evident what the Japanese army's next action will be, Qiu Wei did not directly give the order to deploy the defense, and the soldiers began to drill out from the anti-artillery holes, and the soldiers in the communication trenches also went forward and entered their respective combat positions.
The light machine guns, grenadier groups, and gun grenade groups of each squad performed their duties and entered the position in an orderly manner, and the first squadron, that is, a small number of soldiers, was a little flustered when they were attacked by artillery fire, and now it was time to set up their defenses, and everyone was very calm.
The high-density artillery bombardment of the front-line positions by the Japanese 92 infantry artillery lasted for more than 20 minutes in total, firing at the maximum rate of fire at the position of the teaching brigade.
As the fortification was carried out at the same time, there were also corpses that were dragged down, and Qiu Wei ordered the position to be cleaned up, just to prevent the corpses from hindering the soldiers' arming.
During the shelling, Qiu Wei saw only one corpse with his own eyes, but on the position of the entire No. 1 Squadron, not only one observation post was killed, and within half a minute, a corpse was dragged out of the front-line position, and the soldiers who were carrying the corpse were sent back along the communication trench.
Like Qiu Wei, the deputy squadron, which was covered in mud during the shelling, ran to Qiu Wei's side.
At this time, the positions of the teaching brigade were still being shelled by sporadic and fragmented 92nd infantry artillery.
"Squadron leader, there are a lot of deaths at the observation post, three bodies have been brought down, one has been blown to pieces, three brothers hiding in anti-artillery holes and communication trenches have been killed, and two brothers have been bitten by shrapnel and injured, and the injuries are not in the way."
Qiu Wei had already guessed that the artillery was so fierce, the loss of the observation posts on the front line must be heavy, and the casualties of the soldiers hidden in the anti-artillery holes and communication trenches were also expected by him.
"There's no way, the devil is too fucking fierce, go and send someone to inform the captain, and the rest of the people, prepare to fight" "Yes" "Target, enemy position on the right side, last two shots, grenades, ready, put" After these two shots, the infantry artillery squad of the Takeda Brigade stopped firing, and white smoke rose from the muzzles of the two infantry guns, and the guns were full of blackened cartridges and empty ammunition boxes.
The commander of the infantry artillery squad of the Takeda Brigade, who commanded the shooting, raised his binoculars together with the observers, looking at their "masterpiece," the infantry artillery squad leader nodded, and he was very satisfied with the smoke and dust produced by the shelling in the distance.
"Go and report to the captain and the infantry, my squad has completed the suppression and artillery bombardment of the enemy's position, and the infantry can launch a surprise attack, and my squad will change to cover shooting" The Japanese gunners began to pack up their guns and prepare to push them forward, accompanying the attack of the infantry squad, while the two heralds of the infantry artillery squad quickly ran to the brigade headquarters and reported the shelling to Takeda Masayuki and the infantry preparing for the assault "Full Squadron, Attack" Captain Guyuan waved his command knife, and a soldier of the Guyuan squadron, whose name was sharpening his knife, stepped out of the trench with a fierce gaze Please remember that the first domain name of this book is:.
