Boom, boom, boom After several successive shell explosions, the attacking Japanese advance was shrouded in a stream of heat and gunsmoke, and a column of smoke up to more than ten meters high and the surrounding minced meat rose into the air, which was magnificent, and under the pillar of smoke, there was a tragic image.
Due to the topography, the second-line position is above the commanding heights, the terrain is high, and the aiming is convenient, and the forts, firepower points and infantry of the second-line position can overlook the whole picture of attacking the Japanese army in front of the first-line position, and now the second-line position has not been suppressed by firepower, and the gunners can calmly observe and capture the two 92 infantry guns of the Japanese army.
In the first round of firing, the return fire from the second-line position accurately hit the accompanying fire of the Honda squadron, and the squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the 112th Wing of the Japanese Army, who was directing the shooting, was killed on the spot.
The two six-pounder guns and two four-pounder guns fired by Dong Erli's artillery company took the Japanese infantry artillery as the primary target, and all four shells fell around the Japanese infantry guns.
In the front-line position, Zhang Wei deployed two four-pounder guns and eight old-fashioned Liaozao 37 flat-shot guns, and this time there were two six-pounder guns, and the blasting power of the 57-mm large-diameter shells was much greater than that of the 40-mm grenades, and after the explosion of these two 57-mm shells and the other two 40-mm high-explosive shells, dense shmelel and shock waves were produced, and the two Japanese artillery groups and the surrounding Japanese infantry were almost all killed and wounded.
There was a 40-millimeter shell, and the landing point of the shell happened to be next to the ammunition box of the Japanese 92 infantry shell, and the 40 mm high-explosive shell exploded the Japanese 92 infantry shell, causing the ammunition to detonate.
Two 57-mm grenades, two 40-mm high-explosive shells, and a dozen 70-mm grenades that were detonated added up to create a large explosion in front of the second regiment The shells carried by the Japanese infantry artillery group are blasting shells and shrapnels, which are sharp weapons for attacking infantry and dealing with improvised civil fortifications, these shells were martyred in the Japanese war, it was simply a disaster, the shrapnel after the grenade explosion mixed with the prefabricated fragments and steel balls after the explosion of the grenade exploded scattered in all directions, and the air wave exploded the Japanese 92 infantry guns, and then produced secondary damage and rebound again, spreading to the surrounding Japanese infantry The scene was very tragic, the shells of the 2nd Regiment and the shells of the Japanese army were killed, and the large explosion caused by the explosion spread to the entire 112th Wing, the 1st Squadron of the 112th Wing, which was at the forefront, was almost completely wiped out, and the whole squadron had nearly 200 people, and only a handful could breathe.
The other two squadrons were no better, and after being affected by the massive explosion, they completely lost their ability to assault, and the soldiers lay on the ground in confusion to avoid bullets.
The three Type 92 heavy machine gun crews covering the attack of the 1st Squadron were also blasted into the sky by the 92nd Infantry shells, and the suppressive fire of the 1st Brigade of the 112th Wing was wiped out by two-thirds in one go.
On the first line, there were only three intact Type 92 heavy machine gun crews left to survive, and they could not continue to shoot, so they could only stand up on the front line, unable to advance or retreat.
The attack of the 1st Brigade, after this round of shelling, was completely broken and scattered.
Under the pillar of smoke that rushed to the sky, the parts of the 92nd infantry cannon and the stumps of the Japanese soldiers fell heavily, and a large number of wounded Japanese soldiers wailed in pain in a pool of blood.
After the bombardment was over, after the Japanese army's suppressive firepower was defeated, the officers and men of the 1st and 3rd battalions stationed in the front-line positions took the opportunity to strengthen their firepower, and Qiu Wei and Ye Zhenhua coincidentally organized a salvo of 60 mortars and 82 artillery mortars, and the flat-fire artillery also joined in the fun.
Even the riflemen of the 1st and 3rd Battalions began to fire and pour fire on the Japanese troops, although the Japanese troops were too far away from the position and were not within the effective aiming distance of the riflemen, they could not stand the large number of riflemen, and the rows of 79 bullets fired out indiscriminately were bound to kill people in the past.
The Japanese troops had just been shelled and killed in the explosion, and the mortar shells, flat-fire shells, and rifle machine gun shells from the front-line positions on the opposite side were pasted again The soldiers of the first brigade of the attack, at this time, had already left behind the task they had been given to them, and now they were not thinking about attacking, but how to survive under this crossfire net, and the soldiers at the rear of the first brigade attacking formation no longer rushed forward to strengthen the attack, but stagnated, and some were even ready to retreat.
The explosions, the bloodshed, the tragic casualties, seemed to foreshadow the end of the Japanese attack.
In the sky above the battlefield, the heavy smoke could not be dispersed for a long time, enveloping the heads of the soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the 112th Wing, and the crossfire of the front-line positions was scattered and shuttled in the smoke of artillery, shooting and killing all the Japanese soldiers who dared to take the lead or attack.
"Play well and do another round" In the second-line position, the commander of the artillery company, Dong Erli, looked at his masterpiece excitedly, quite excited, as the commander of the artillery company, this round of artillery bombardment hit his unexpected results, Dong Erli quickly judged by his own instinct that it was a martyrdom, Dong Erli looked at the tragic situation of the Japanese army, and laughed again and again in the position.
Unexpected joy always makes people extra happy.
Dong Erli, who planned to strike while the iron was hot, picked up the field phone and gave the order to his artillerymen to continue firing.
In the fort, the gunners who fired the guns also smiled, they never thought that the round of guns they fired had such great power, it was really an unexpected joy, the artillery platoon commander who commanded the shooting was stunned, he stared at the tragic scene created by his own hands in front of the battle, and there was indescribable happiness in his heart.
"Platoon commander, company commander has an order, keep shooting" When the artillery platoon commander was happy, the soldiers around him answered the field call and sent Dong Erli's latest order to the artillery platoon commander.
"Good brethren, keep shooting, two rapid fires, target, Japanese infantry" The gunners were excited, reloaded, aimed, and aimed their guns at the Japanese infantry.
Boom, boom, boom Dozens of seconds later, the frightened Japanese army suffered a new ordeal again, two six-pounder guns and two two-pounder guns opened fire again, but this time it was two rapid fire from four guns, and the target of the shelling became the Japanese infantry all over the front.
Eight high-explosive grenades smashed on the heads of the Japanese soldiers, another round of artillery fire, a few pools of blood, and the defenders of the first and third battalions of the front-line positions also became more and more courageous and strengthened their firepower.
A moment later, with the faint Japanese bronze whistle on the battlefield, the 1st Brigade of the 112th Wing, which was on the verge of collapse, finally retreated like a tide under the pursuit fire of the 1st and 3rd Battalions.
What remained in front of the battle was flesh and corpses everywhere 。
