The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 73 Annihilation battle within the formation [-]
"Brumpeter, blow out the lights and let the other side fire!"

The trumpeter summoned all his strength and blew the lights-out signal in the hidden trench, which represented the firing signal for the oblique positions guarded by the first and second squads. It seemed to be for revenge, or maybe to cover the infantry unit that was severely beaten by He Wei. The team retreated, and the Type [-] infantry cannon fired eight rounds of grenades and shrapnel at He Wei in a short period of time, nearly half of the ammunition carried by a Type [-] infantry artillery unit (a Type [-] infantry unit had four weapons during battle) ammunition soldiers, each soldier carries five rounds of ammunition, a total of twenty rounds of infantry artillery shells)
The trenches were filled with steel ball bullets produced by the explosion of shrapnel. When they entered the fortifications to avoid the bullets, they did not have time to carry away the bodies of the dead brothers. Although the bodies of the three brothers who were killed in the front and back were intact, they were riddled with holes. The blood flowing out stained the trenches red.

As soon as the infantry artillery fire stopped, He Wei ordered the trumpet to be blown.

The soft lights-out signal now had a strangely strong penetrating power, spreading throughout the smoke-filled battlefield.

Directly opposite He Wei, squad leader Ge Guicai heard the sound of the bugle and was the first to rush out of the hiding trench and raised his rifle.

"Brothers, come out, the platoon leader has given the signal, the business is open!"

The soldiers of the two infantry squads got out of the concealed trench, pushed aside the shelter above the trench, entered the shooting position and opened fire.

The first one to fire was the light machine gun Wuwu Yangjiang Qilong of the first squad. The Czech gun in his hand fired the first round of firepower from the position with a group of three bursts. Then, the light machine gun of the second squad also fired. The first squad's Zhongzheng rifle rang, and the second squad's Zhongzheng rifle also rang.

As soon as the fire from the diagonal position on this side came out, the first one to bear the brunt was the infantry squad that failed to attack He Wei's position. Under the cover of the infantry artillery, the squad got the opportunity to retreat. The uninjured soldiers were dragged and carried, With the injured soldiers shrinking the front line and retreating, some men were also allocated to keep vigilance on the front position, that is, He Wei's position, for fear that the lunatic on the opposite side would take out a grenade and fire again.

He Wei's position indeed did not open fire. Just as the remnants of the team retreated quickly, a hail of bullets came straight from behind. A fire net composed of light machine guns and rifles strafed the team. The wounded Japanese soldiers were still intoxicated. In the joy of escaping, the bullet from behind dragged him into hell again.

After a burst of fierce shooting, the entire infantry squad was reduced to less than one unit alive.

This kind of mental torture is not exclusive to this infantry squad. The Japanese army on the entire battlefield is immersed in this kind of mental fear. For no other reason. Now that the two oblique positions are revealed, it is equivalent to the Japanese army having to endure it. The simultaneous attack of firepower from the front and both wings, and the crossfire network formed by various firepowers from three directions, would make anyone's heart tremble.

He Wei climbed out of the trench and called on the soldiers of the third squad to climb out too. The heavy machine gun was damaged and the only thing that could be used was the rifle. When the soldiers of the third squad saw the corpses of the attacking Japanese soldiers, their morale was immediately boosted. , the tragic sight of the bodies of the fallen brothers also aroused the anger of the soldiers, and some of them even fired at the rhythm of machine guns.

In the telescope, He Wei could tell that the team that attacked him just now was almost done. The remaining Japanese troops were not much better. They were suppressed by firepower from three sides. It was time for his final trump card to be revealed. .

Just when He Wei was about to show his fangs, Lia Jiuxiong, who was lying in front of the main position, was like an eggplant beaten by frost. The situation on the battlefield was self-evident. The team that assaulted the enemy positions on the flanks was attacked by fire from both sides and completely lost its combat effectiveness. , the other two teams lay down in front of the formation and struggled to support themselves, with new casualties increasing every moment.Although he had millions of reluctances, his reason told him that he must retreat now.

Liao Jiuxiong immediately shouted: "Stop the assault, the entire squadron retreats, and order the infantry artillery unit and heavy machine gun squad to cover!"

The order to retreat was quickly passed on. This was certainly good news for the infantrymen who were struggling in the hail of bullets, but the machine gunners of the heavy machine gun squad and the gunners of the infantry artillery squad all cursed.

When the infantry attack failed, how could you not be annoyed every time when these troops who operated heavy weapons and supporting firearms came to protect them, especially the attached heavy machine gun squad? You know, in the last attack, However, a complete heavy machine gun unit was wiped out while retreating to cover. Who knows whether bad luck will befall him this time?

Complaints aside, the heavy machine gun squad still faithfully carried out Lia Jiuxiong's order and accelerated the shooting speed despite the fierce firepower of the national army. At the same time, the infantry lying on the ground also began to collect the wounded in an orderly manner and began to shrink the attack. Line, retreat backwards.

Naturally, He Wei had a clear view of the Japanese army's retreat in front of the enemy. He just sneered: "Huh, I want to escape!"

Then he said to the trumpeter beside him: "Blow the trumpet for me, dinner is ready!"

woo woo woo-
Just as the Japanese troops were dragging their wounded soldiers with them and struggling to retreat from the enemy's front fire, a sharp bugle sound appeared on the battlefield again. Unlike the passionate charge bugle, the meal bugle was much softer and not as sharp and chilling. The spirit was not obvious on the battlefield where bullets were flying everywhere. The Japanese infantry who heard the sound of the bugle still acted as usual.

At almost the same moment, the firepower from all directions of the Chinese army dropped sharply. The Chinese army's positions were completely different. After hearing the sound of the trumpet, except for the detonators of the thunder cannons that had been arranged in advance, other The soldiers, whether they were riflemen, light machine gun shooters, or heavy machine gun shooters, all stopped shooting and got into hiding places or cat-ear holes. All kinds of automatic firearms stopped firing, except for the mortar platoon in the distance. Unmoved, he still fired.

The thunder cannon created by He Wei essentially uses detonated explosives to eject the explosives waiting to be detonated. It is quite dangerous in operation. Therefore, before the battle, he specially stipulated that the responsible person should The detonator must be a veteran, and while detonating, others must take cover to prevent accidental casualties.

Just when the trumpet sound stopped, the detonators responsible for detonating the explosives in several positions lit up the projectile charges one after another, and then quickly hid in the concealment.

Pulling the fuse, it's self-evident what will happen next. There are loud explosions one after another. The pre-excavated mine cannon ejection position raises soaring dust, and the powerful air wave generated when the explosive pack explodes knocks out a group of people. Another group of tandem medicine packs were launched into the air.
