Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 258 Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain (4)

After receiving the order, Zhao Dengyu felt a warm current rush through his heart. Deputy Commander Liu was really a caring person. He put himself in the shoes of the 113th Brigade. If this battle was not fought well, he would be ashamed of his thoughts.

He assigned the regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness to the brigade machine gun battalion and the brigade headquarters guard battalion to form a reinforced regiment. From this batch of weapons, he selected ten mortars, six heavy machine guns, and twenty Czech

A light machine gun with a sufficient ammunition belt, which is three times the amount of ammunition that an individual soldier of the 29th Army can carry daily.

As a professional soldier, he knew very well that positional blocking warfare consumes the most ammunition. In addition, he specially asked the soldiers to bring more grenades and hand grenades. Sometimes, these things are more useful than anything else.

When Zhao Dengyu pulled up the troops, the ** First Brigade had already established a position on the front line. Four regiments were deployed on the front line at the same time. When Zhao Dengyu saw Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang, Zhao Dengyu was surprised again.

Why are the senior officers of the ** division so young? The deputy commander is nothing more than a legend. The two in front of him are both major generals. They are no more than thirty years old. In comparison, he is a

Big brother, in the 29th Army, he is still a young man.

No matter how young he was, his rank was there. Zhao Dengyu immediately stood at attention and said with standard military salute: "Report to Chief of Staff Feng, the 113th Brigade of the 29th Army has been ordered to arrive and ask for instructions from the brigade commander Zhao Dengyu."

Feng Jiwu was not too polite. The military situation was urgent. More than 20,000 bandits and more than 3,600 Japanese troops were following them like wolves, and they immediately deployed the defense line of the 113th Brigade.

According to the plan, all four regiments of the First Brigade of the *** formed two blocking lines of defense. Each line of defense was equipped with two regiments of troops in order to increase the depth of defense. The first and second regiments of the First Cavalry Brigade and the special detachment

The remaining troops serve as strategic reserves.

Now that the 113th Brigade has come up, Feng Jiwu has a lot more troops at hand. He plans to use Zhao Dengyu's troops as a reserve force, and the two regiments of the 1st Cavalry Brigade to guard the two wings of the main defensive position to prevent bandit troops from making detours.

Threaten the safety of the troops.

In doing so, we also take into account that there is a certain gap between the troops of the 29th Army and the troops of the ** Division in terms of overall quality. This kind of positional defense battle is the most test of the courage of the troops, facing the surging waves of attacking troops.

, volcanic eruption-like artillery fire, unable to retreat even one step.

This was not the purpose of Zhao Dengyu's request to participate in the war. He told Feng Jiwu his thoughts without reservation. We are all soldiers. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush. The 113th Brigade is here to fight.

Yes, I don’t want to be protected like a child.

Feng Jiwu thought about it and agreed to Zhao Dengyu's request. He arranged the 113th Brigade on the right side of the defense line and the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Brigade to defend together. It happened that the 4th Regiment was tired of escorting weapons and ammunition, so he replaced it as the general reserve team.

.

Zhao Dengyu pulled the troops into position and entered the fortifications dug by the Fourth Regiment of the One Brigade. He was dumbfounded when he saw the defensive position built by the ** Division. He also understood why the senior commander of the ** Division put the 113th Brigade

As a reserve team.

This kind of defensive position was something he had never seen before. There were three lines of defense in front and back, and they were lower in front and higher in back. Each line was one and a half meters higher than the other. The distance between the three fortifications was one hundred meters each.

The distance between this area is completely open, which forces the attacking side to continuously attack artificial obstacles. Not only does it slow down the attack speed, but also it will suffer a lot of casualties from the defenders when passing through the open area.

There are many curved communication trenches connecting each line of defense, which facilitates the transportation of troops to each line of defense, or replenishes ammunition, and protects soldiers from the firepower of the attacking side. Moreover, the second and third lines of defense can

Provide effective fire support to the first line of defense.

Fire points and anti-gun holes are all available. What surprised Zhao Dengyu was that Brigadier Li actually deployed mortars on the second line of defense. According to convention, mortars can provide fire support or artillery suppression, and should be assigned to the second line of defense.

Such an arrangement at the rear of the position is unheard of.

How did the ** division build such complete fortifications in a short period of time? He couldn't help but ask the commander of the third regiment next to him. The commander of the third regiment proudly told him that this was the division commander's original defense method. It was used in the Northeast.

When fighting against the Japs, I often used this defensive method. It was very effective. Just take good care of it, Brigadier Zhao.

Our ** divisions regard soil work as a major training subject during daily training. According to what terrain and soil quality, how can we build the best defensive position in the shortest time? The soldiers are already familiar with the road and do not need to

Senior officers were worried and knew what to do. Zhao Dengyu felt that there was a mysterious energy in the military division.

Zhao Dengyu had no choice but to follow the ** division's defense method and arrange the mortars of the machine gun battalion on the second line of defense. As soon as the troops were deployed, bandits all over the mountains and plains, holding torches, surged up like a tide.

The bandits were running and firing, shouting loudly with alarming momentum. Bullets whizzed past the soldiers' heads. Seeing that the bandits were getting closer and closer, they still did not receive the order to fire. The 113th Brigade's

The soldiers were so nervous that they could hardly breathe. They had never seen such a fight. The enemy was almost in front of them, but they were still not allowed to shoot.

Two red signal flares slowly rose in the night sky. The Japanese division's defensive position was activated in an instant. Hundreds of mortars on the second line of defense began shelling at the same time. The shells rained like raindrops, trailing dark red tail flames.

, drew a graceful arc, and landed in the bandit's charging team.

Zhao Dengyu was a little confused. When the battle started, the first line of defense should be the first to fire. How could there be no reason to want to fight behind if there was no fight in the front?

Moreover, there is also a problem with the landing point of the cannonballs. It is not to stop the bandits from charging, but to rush the bandits to speed up the charge. The cannonballs all fall behind the first wave of bandits, but they blow up the second wave of bandits and knock them upside down.

Scattered.

The dense artillery fire formed a wall of fire behind the first wave of charging bandits, completely isolating the first wave of charging bandits from the follow-up troops. In the night, the explosions of fire shot into the sky, and there were piles of bandits.

were blown into the sky.

The bandits who charged in front were secretly happy. They all said that the gunmen were powerful. Look at this, it's not that bad. The artillery fire was not accurate. They were all left behind. Those who were afraid of death and did not dare to charge were unlucky. They wanted to save their lives.

, I didn’t expect that I would take the bullets instead of us.

The bandits were less than 100 meters away from the first line of defense. There were more than 3,000 bandits rushing up. At this time, Zhao Dengyu understood a little bit, and he was trembling in his heart. Chief of Staff Feng was ruthless enough. He used artillery fire.

Blocking the bandits' follow-up troops so that the bandits cannot form consecutive waves of attacks is a big move to keep more than 3,000 bandits here.

When the bandits were still fifty meters away from the first line of fortifications, the silent fortifications suddenly erupted, like a whirlwind blowing on the ground, and a torrential rain of bullets drowned more than three thousand bandits in an instant.

The roar of light and heavy machine guns sent streaks of deadly fire into the bandit's body. In the night, the flames spurted from the muzzle were a foot long, like the sickle of death, reaping the sinful lives.

The strange thing is that the third line of defense has not opened fire yet. With such a close distance and such intensive firepower, more than half of the more than 3,000 bandits were killed on the spot. The rest were suppressed by firepower and used the corpses of their accomplices as cover.

, lying tightly on the ground, not daring to move. The soldiers' grenades would not let them go. From time to time, bandits lying on the ground were blown to pieces by the grenades.

These bandits are crying. What a shame. Who trained these soldiers? At such a close distance, they are beating us to death. Those who don’t fight like this don’t even have the chance to return their phones.

Even if you don’t give it, I won’t accept it.

Feng Jiwu, who had been observing the battlefield situation in the covert department, was attracted by a strange phenomenon with his telephoto lens. Through the smoke of exploding artillery shells, he could see that the thousands of people following the large group of bandits were trained regular troops. Their tactics

The movements are very skillful and the formation remains stable.

These guys did not charge with the large group of bandits, but stayed outside the range of artillery fire to build positions. There were more than thirty Type 92 infantry guns and mountain cannons, with their muzzles raised, pointing at the ** division's

At the defensive position, a group of people were busy there, looking like they were preparing for artillery bombardment.

Couldn't these guys be the Japanese regiment reported by the division commander? They built artillery positions at the front, and they weren't afraid that when the bandits charged, the artillery shells would accidentally injure their own people? Japanese officers, wouldn't they be so devoid of military common sense?

Feng Jiwu suddenly shuddered. He completely understood that the Japanese artillery took advantage of the troops and bandits being mixed together and the soldiers were in their fighting positions to suddenly start shelling, leaving the soldiers with no time to dodge the artillery fire and giving the troops

To do the maximum damage, the little devil is so vicious, he came up with such an inhumane trick.

He hurriedly ordered the correspondent to notify all troops on the first and second lines of defense to immediately withdraw to the third line of defense. He was not allowed to hesitate and resolutely carried out the order.

Later, he ordered the mountain artillery and field artillery to pay attention to the location of the Japanese artillery positions. Once determined, they would immediately destroy them with intensive artillery fire and never allow the Japanese artillery to have a second chance to fire.

After issuing the order, he nervously observed the movement of the troops. Zhao Dengyu and the officers and soldiers of the 113th Brigade were very puzzled and reluctantly evacuated their positions. The fighting was so satisfying that there were more than a thousand bandits left.

In twenty minutes, they were all wiped out at the front of the position. At this moment, what kind of evacuation order should be given?

With one countercharge, all these bandits would be dead. The ** division's fighting was so evil. I don't know how they fought with the ** people in the Northeast for several years. Looking at the troops of the ** division, they were carrying heavy and heavy weapons.

Weapon, he gave the order without hesitation, and evacuated quickly and quickly. Zhao Dengyu knew that the military order was like a mountain.

Zhao Dengyu, who retreated to the third line of fortifications, grabbed the phone and directly asked Feng Jiwu for a fight.
