The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 123 You lied to me, I lied to you, the Chinese army and the Japanese army lied to each other

"Crap Nima"

He Wei spat out a mouthful of ashes and climbed up from the trench. He was talking to Hu Zhaowu just now when a cannonball suddenly flew over. Fortunately, the cannonball was aimed at the head and did not explode in the trench, but from above He Wei's head. Exploded 60 meters behind the trench.

The flying shells did not cause any casualties to He Wei and others, but by chance, the mountain shells exploded into a pile of sandbags. Four or five sandbags were blown up into the sky and exploded, and a few bags of soil happened to fall on He Wei. On top of Wei's head, He Wei took a mouthful of ashes.

When he got up, intensive gunshots suddenly rang out in front of the position. He Wei looked up and saw a magnificent scene. Fire dragons composed of red tracer bullets and green tracer bullets overlapped and intertwined with each other. , forming a very gorgeous scene.

It didn't look like a war, but it looked very much like the fireworks that He Wei set off during the Chinese New Year in another dimension before he traveled through time. The effect of the various red and green salutes was very similar to the tracer bullets flying everywhere.

"I said Lao He, hurry back to the command post and take command. So many enemies are coming up soon."

Hu Zhaowu said anxiously to He Wei, but He Wei was still calmly admiring the fireworks feast in front of the position, squinting his eyes and remaining unmoved.

"Lao He, Lao He."

Hu Zhaowu pushed He Wei eagerly twice, and He Wei said calmly: "Don't worry, this Japanese is trying to trick us. If we fire back, we will get what he wants."

"What do you mean?"

Hu Zhaowu asked.

"Hmph, just look at the many tracer bullets in front of the position and you will understand. Listen to the gunshots. The Japs' firearms are mainly Type [-] rifles and crooked-handle light machine guns. Just look at those tracer bullets that are flashing. Shooting from a rifle, who in the right mind would equip a rifle with tracer bullets?”

"Not to mention rifles, even light machine guns rarely use tracer bullets. The Japanese have so many rifles and light machine guns to use tracer bullets to hit us. There must be something fishy in this. And you see, the momentum is very high. It is a machine gun and a There were artillery fire and grenade launchers, but did you see their infantry rushing up? They all lay down in front of the position and fired. I think this is testing the strength and firepower of our position."

He Wei sneered and said loudly to Hu Zhaowu amidst the sound of gunfire.

At this time, Hu Zhaowu also came to his senses, discovered the fishiness, and cursed: "Grandma, I almost fell into the Japanese trick. You are right, you can't open fire, just stand in a stalemate with the Japanese. If they like to shoot randomly, let them do it. It’s their bullets that are wasted anyway.”

He Wei said nothing and was thinking about how to deal with this group of Japanese troops. It was obvious that these Japanese troops were conducting feint attacks and exploratory reconnaissance. Fortunately, He Wei was more cautious and calm and discovered the intentions of the Japanese troops in time. It would have been ordinary. The national army commanders will definitely concentrate their firepower to resist desperately, because most of the national army officers attach great importance to the combat power of the Japanese army, and are even a little afraid of it. Therefore, once the Japanese army takes action at night, the national army officers guarding the position will inevitably He will resist at all costs, naturally not as much as He Wei thought.

"Grandma, if the little devil wants to lie to me, then I will lie to you too!"

He Wei punched the trench and said viciously.

"Liar? What did you say?" Hu Zhaowu asked.

He Wei turned his head and looked at the Japanese corpses on the ground. Then he thought of the small battle that had just happened, and an idea came to his mind again.

"Lao Hu, go notify platoon leader Fang, platoon leader Chen of the tank defense artillery platoon, and the acting platoon leader of the mortar platoon to my command post. I want to have a meeting."

After that, He Wei picked up the sergeant's command knife on the ground and ran back to the command post quickly, leaving only the confused Hu Zhaowu, the monk Zhang Er, there. Hu Zhaowu didn't understand what He Wei meant by cheating. But he was certain that He Wei must have hatched a new tactical plan.

In the first battle of internal annihilation, a Japanese infantry squadron was annihilated. In the second battle of position defense, hundreds of Japanese troops were wiped out using excellent fortifications and mines. So what kind of tricks will He Wei do this time?
． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The gunfire crackled in front of the position. He Wei quickly ran back to the command post. As soon as he entered the command post, he saw his platoon's old squad leader Ge Guicai pacing repeatedly with an anxious look on his face. When Ge Guicai saw He Wei coming back, his face changed. He looked like he was grasping at straws, but when he saw He Wei, he was startled again. He Wei was carrying a Jin-made submachine gun, a German-made [-]-gun speed machine, and a Chinese rifle behind his back. Officially, there is also a Japanese sergeant's command knife in the belt of the armed belt.

His face, neck, and military uniform were covered with blood and dirt, and there was a bloody smell all over his body. He looked like the evil star of hell walking out of the dark night.

"Platoon commander, are you okay?"

Ge Guicai asked with concern. He Wei waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. A few little devils came in and I fucked them all."

"Platoon commander, look at the front of the position. What should we do? Why don't we fire? There are too many enemies."

"Don't move, prepare to retreat. Wait until Fang Jing and Hu Zhaowu arrive and listen to my orders. The Japanese are playing tricks to test our background. If they dare to deceive me, I will also deceive him." "Retreat?"

Ge Guicai asked with some confusion. He Wei saw what he wanted to say and just nodded to him: "You will understand everything when they come and follow my orders later."

The communications soldiers in the command post heard He Wei's order to prepare to retreat, and actually moved their hands to pick up the telephones and switches. A squad leader also ordered several soldiers to recover the telephones and telephone lines deployed in various bunkers. Upon seeing this, Wei hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

But the communications squad leader was very embarrassed and said to He Wei: "Sir, our regiment's communications company is different from your infantry. Your preciousness is the light and heavy machine guns, and our life is the telephone switch and telephone lines. Every time we fight, we have to retreat. We must recycle telephone lines at all times, please don’t embarrass us, if we retreat empty-handed, we will be in serious trouble when our company commander finds out."

The Chinese army is poor, so the telephone lines used in wired communications are regarded as treasures. Telephone lines must be placed when setting up a communication network before a war, and the telephone lines must be recovered before retreating. In the dimension before He Wei traveled through, in the 70s, Some communications corps members of the People's Liberation Army are even training using US phone lines captured during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Those U.S. military telephone lines were voluntarily abandoned by the U.S. military. In many cases, the U.S. military did not pay attention to recycling wires during combat. Telephone lines and telephones were treated as disposable items. If they were to retreat, they would just abandon them. Not distressed.

After understanding the reason, He Wei stepped forward and patted the communications squad leader on the shoulder and said: "Brother, you will also be in the command post to listen to my orders in a moment. After you listen to the orders, you will know what I mean by retreat. , I can't guarantee that your phones and phone lines are intact, but most of them will be returned to their original owners. If they are all lost, don't worry. I will explain to your company commander at the worst. If it doesn't work, I will snatch them for you. The Japs’ communication equipment is here to use.”

Seeing He Wei like this, the communications squad leader couldn't say anything else, so he had to suspend the order to withdraw the phone lines and stayed in the command post, waiting for He Wei's next instructions.

Soon, many platoon chiefs under He Wei arrived one by one. Second platoon leader Hu Zhaowu, third platoon leader Fang Jing, first platoon acting platoon leader Ge Guicai, tank defense artillery platoon leader Chen Xinsheng, forced Sergeant Xu, the acting platoon leader of the artillery platoon, listened to the fierce sound of gunfire in front of the position. The red and green lights produced by the combustion of the tracer incendiary shot into the firing port of the command post from time to time. Facing the crowd, He Wei gave the order without any doubt. Battle orders.

"Everyone, let me make a long story short. Don't look at the Japanese who are fighting happily. In fact, they are using tactics against us. They only shoot guns, artillery, and grenades. The infantry just doesn't rush forward. They use tracer bullets. In fact, In order to attract us to concentrate our firepower and test our strength, I now order all platoons and attached troops in the company to prepare to retreat. After half an hour, we will use tanks to defend the artillery platoon, mortar platoon, third platoon, second platoon, and third platoon. One platoon retreated in sequence, and the retreat of three infantry platoons was personally directed by me. I want to put on a show for the Japanese."

Fang Jing, the captain of the third row, asked: "Acting?"

"That's right, it's just an act. We not only have to retreat, but we also have to deliberately turn the retreat into a rout. Not only do we have to retreat, but we also want to let the Japanese see clearly how we retreat. Since they want to test the reality, then use their weak side. Show them that after the tank defense artillery platoon and mortar platoon withdraw, I will create an explosion on the position, and then find a way to fire a few flares, pretending to be harassed by the Japanese sneak attack troops and causing a retreat, so that the Japanese People thought we were destroyed, so they used the light of the flares to let the Japanese take a good look."

Hu Zhaowu asked: "Is this the end? Are you making such a big fuss just to put on a show for the Japanese?"

He Wei chuckled: "That won't work. I want the Japanese to think that we have collapsed and the whole company has collapsed. It is best to attract the Japanese army's feint attack troops to turn the feint attack into a real attack and directly attack our position. Sometimes I will let the Japanese rush into the trenches, but don’t forget, I built a lot of longitudinal firing equipment and landing doors in the first-line trenches. As long as the Japanese come in, I guarantee that they will never come back!"

The third platoon commander, Fang Jing, was still a little worried and said: "If you do this, if something goes wrong and the position is lost, it will be all over. The rest of us are okay. You are the acting company commander now. If something unexpected happens, you will lose it. That’s going to kill your head.”

"It doesn't matter. Not to mention that it's still unclear whether the Japanese can be fooled by me. With their small number of troops, they can't cause any trouble for me. Take a closer look at the firepower in front of the position. There are only rifles and light weapons with crooked handles. We don’t even have machine guns, not even the [-]-heavy machine gun. With this small force, we can’t afford to cause any trouble.”

After informing everyone of his plan as soon as possible, the Sixth Company immediately took action. The first to move was the tank defense artillery platoon and the mortar platoon. These two platoons were equipped with support firearms. He Wei did not dare to let them stay. After coming down to act with themselves, the two platoons quickly evacuated the bunker fortifications while it was dark, and moved to the Bofors Mountain gun emplacement behind the Sixth Company position.

Then, the three infantry platoons and the attached heavy machine gun companies continued their actions one after another. The battlefield presented an extremely strange and absurd scene. More than 200 Japanese troops fired fiercely at the sixth company's position, but the infantry could not After launching an attack, the infantry of the Sixth Company retreated in an orderly manner.

The three infantry platoons pulled out the units of the attached heavy machine gun company of the [-]nd Battalion. Later, these troops also moved to the hidden positions of the tank defense artillery platoon and the [-]nd mortar platoon. These heavy machine guns were all big, not To facilitate maneuver, He Wei would not let them participate in the upcoming rout.

He Wei has the following arrangements for the three infantry platoons who are starring in this scene. The third platoon serves as a security guard in the second line position, covering the first and second platoons who have returned to the first line position. Renovate the longitudinal firing equipment concealment and landing doors in the first line position.

These lifting gates were built by He Wei when he had just built a position outside Yanzhuang. Many of them were damaged by the Japanese bombardment. If we want to successfully annihilate the Japanese army in possible trench operations, the lifting gates are indispensable.

In He Wei's plan, he wanted to leave part of his platoon in the hidden part of the longitudinal firing equipment to operate the lifting doors in the trenches. When the Japanese troops rushed into the trenches, these brothers would pull down the lifting doors. , and fire at the Japanese troops in the trenches from the hidden part of the longitudinal firing equipment. At the same time, the remaining troops of the Sixth Company will rush out from the rear and annihilate all the Japanese troops that rush in within the trenches.

The lift gate was being built here. He Wei called Cao Huiguo, the battalion commander of the Bofors Mountain Artillery Battalion. If he wanted to act, he needed to build up the momentum. He Wei remembered that the Bofors Mountain Artillery was equipped with an incendiary device that could burn intensely. Bombs, using this thing to create chaos in the position is a good choice.

Cao Huiguo readily agreed to He Wei's request for arson bombs and illumination bombs for mountain artillery. He Wei was also very happy. He didn't have much hope. After all, the main type of ammunition of the mountain artillery force was blasting grenades. When the march came to Shanxi, they even brought arson bombs. Cao Huiguo patted his chest on the phone and said that three arson bombs and a box of illumination bombs were delivered quickly.

In addition, Cao Huiguo also asked whether he needed artillery support or used Bofors Mountain Cannon to fire flares to engage in an infantry-artillery coordination. The infantry and artillery would perform the scene together, although He Wei wanted to use the mountain cannon to blow up the Japanese army. , but now is not the time to reveal that we have a large number of artillery, so Cao Huiguo's good intention was also declined by He Wei.

With these acting props and all the defenders on the battlefield acting as actors, He Wei's special performance for the Japanese army will soon begin.
