The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 70 Annihilation battle within the formation [-]
Swish-swish - Starting with the torn apart of a first-class soldier, subsequent mortar shells followed one after another, and mortar shells continued to fall in the Japanese offensive formation. Although the Chinese army's mortars due to the accuracy of the artillery and battlefield Due to environmental problems, the accuracy was not high enough, but the shooting speed could not be tolerated, and the casualties of the Japanese army began to increase.

Lia Jiuxiong tore off half of a lung from his face and shouted for everyone to lie down. In fact, there was no need for him to give orders. The sergeants, commanders, and corps commanders who reacted had already begun to instruct the soldiers to stop advancing and lie down.

These grassroots non-commissioned officers with rich command experience are very familiar with the sound of the [-]nd mortar of the Chinese army. After all, this thing, along with the Czech light machine gun and the Maxim heavy machine gun, are known as the three major weapons of the Chinese army.

The Japanese infantry, which was charging at a low profile, instantly fell down. The entire attack formation also paused and came to a standstill in an instant.

He Wei, who was in the distance, saw the Japanese attack sharply and thwarted, and then he took a deep breath and murmured: "I'll set another fire for you!"

As he spoke, He Wei raised the grenade, inserted the base plate of the grenade into the ground, and began to adjust the shooting direction and angle. He took out a smoke grenade from the ammunition box, and another eight-meter grenade from the fuze box. The Type [-] small trace fire time fuze was installed, the safety pin was pulled out, the grenade was loaded and the target was searched for.

At this time, he was the only one in the trench. In order to avoid exposing the target, he drove the others back to the trench.

The purpose of firing now is to harass. There is no need to look for the target too carefully, let alone careful aiming. In fact, it is impossible for He Wei to aim accurately. The grenade is a curved firearm that lacks effective shooting support and special sights. , is very dependent on the training of the shooter.

He Wei found a position where there seemed to be a lot of people at visual distance, raised the grenade barrel, stood it up at 45 degrees, fired without saying a word, and regardless of the shooting effect, he squatted in the trench and maneuvered quickly. He changed positions again, took an anti-personnel grenade, loaded it and fired it again.

Indeed, He Wei's accuracy in shooting the grenade was not very good. The first smoke grenade fired was okay and landed in the center of the Japanese attacking team. The second anti-personnel grenade missed the target and passed over the heads of the attacking Japanese troops. It flew over and exploded on the flank of his attack formation, only injuring two Japanese soldiers. However, He Wei's goal was achieved entirely with that smoke bomb.

The sound of the grenade firing was not loud. Under the cover of the explosion of artillery shells on the battlefield, the attacking Japanese army could not detect it at all. All their energy was focused on how to avoid the Chinese army's mortars and break into the forward positions. On.

Therefore, for the Japanese troops who were crawling forward at this time, a situation occurred. Smoke appeared inexplicably in the assault team, and the smoke bomb fell impartially in the middle of the Japanese assault team. The hexachloroethane mixed smoke agent in the body began to take effect, causing the entire commando formation to be filled with white smoke. A sergeant who was relatively close to the impact point of the smoke bomb covered his nose and crawled over to check, and found smoke on the ground. It turned out to be a special grenade for the Type [-] grenade used by our own side.

There were mortar shells falling continuously all around, and a smoke grenade suddenly appeared. For the attacking Japanese army, the battlefield environment was actually quite chaotic. The sergeant who crawled over saw that the grenade was his own equipment, and for a time thought that it was his own grenade. It was the grenade detachment to which my squad belonged that made the mistake. He cursed at the soldiers of the grenade detachment, saying who the hell was that bastard who blew up his ammunition and put him behind the team. The soldiers of the grenade detachment were confused.

"idiot!"

The chaotic situation in the team made Liu Jiuxiong curse and order each team to reorganize the team. Unexpected situations on the battlefield made him understand that a difficult opponent had appeared. At least, the enemy commander was a role that should not be underestimated. His own The original intention was to break in at a distance of tens of meters from the artillery barrage.However, due to the sudden mortar bombardment, the assaulting infantry was forced to stop. Currently, it is still more than 100 meters away from the enemy's first line position in front. It will not work if they are kept pressed and unable to move forward. Rushing forward, the Chinese army's mortars are not a vegetarian, but if you want to kill the Chinese army's mortars, you must stop your own artillery cover, otherwise you won't even be able to find the target.

With a bang, an exploding [-] mortar shell prompted squadron leader Lia Jiuxiong to make up his mind.

"Commander, command the squad leader!"

After calling the messenger and the squad leader, Liao Jiuxiong said: "Send a signal to the artillery to stop the bombardment. The infantry is ready to launch an assault! Order the infantry artillery detachment to find the enemy's mortar positions and annihilate them. The artillery fire stops and the infantry launches an assault." At this time, the infantry artillery looked for opportunities to annihilate the light and heavy machine gun fire points of the Chinese army!"

Rikuo was determined to launch a direct assault, and two yellow flares flew up. In the mountain artillery position near Yongxing Village, the mountain artillery squadron leader Isao Kakihara saw the flying signal flares, and immediately informed the cannons in the mountain artillery position by phone to stop firing. The mountain artillerymen who fired intensely felt like they were given an amnesty. They fired all the shells in the barrel and stopped to relieve their sore arms.

With the ceasefire of the four [-] mountain guns, the battlefield with the rumbling gunfire became much clearer in an instant, leaving only the explosion of the Chinese army's [-] mortar shells.

The soaring barrage of artillery shells fired from Qiwushan suddenly dropped sharply the moment the artillery fire stopped. The more than [-] Japanese troops who attacked were also ready for the assault in this short period of time. Hisao ordered the heavy machine gun squad to prepare for shooting on both wings of the assault formation.

Before the bombardment stopped, all nine Type [-] [-]mm heavy grenades in the squadron were gathered together. After loading, they were aimed at the main position of the Chinese army in front. The light machine gunner aimed his muzzle forward, and the rifleman All are prepared for close combat and hand-to-hand assault.

The [-] mortar shells fired by the Chinese army continued to fall on the Japanese assault team. People were constantly being killed or injured, but no Japanese soldier made a sound. Everyone was quietly waiting to attack the enemy's position. The command.

The gunners of the [-]nd Infantry Artillery Detachment, who were deployed at the breakthrough of the obstacle area, loaded the infantry cannon with explosive grenades, slowly adjusted the muzzle, and paid close attention to the upcoming firepower point of the Chinese army.

Time froze at this moment.

Boom - the last two 75mm mountain artillery shells fell in the Chinese army's position. Lia Jiuxiong stood up and half knelt, waved his saber, and shouted crazily: "First Squadron, assault!"
