Chapter 181 Bloody Battle of Huaiyang (2)

Fighting for the enemy, you are the elite among hunters... Wu Jinsuo's mind was filled with words worthy of his pride and pride. He quickly entered the state and aimed the gun forward.

"The front is on the left, the Japanese squad leader." The observer whispered. He was an experienced veteran, and the shelling and charge did not affect his mood or judgment.

The weather was dry and windless, which was really a good shooting environment. Wu Jinsuo moved his rifle, put the target into the scope, aimed at the enemy's ****, and gently pulled the board.

"Bang!" The Japanese squad leader was shot in the abdomen and immediately bent down like a folding knife.

Very good, beautiful! A perfect shot over two hundred and twenty meters away.

Machine guns and rifles fired dense bullets at the charge of the enemy. Amid the chaotic gunshots, the snipers in the second-line position fired calmly and calmly, with fatal precision, and each shot caused casualties to the attacker.

Tong, Tong, Tong sounded one after another on the second-line position. The reduced version of the flying thunder cannon can be carried and run by one person, and the six tied grenades can be shot three hundred meters away. The grenades emitting blue smoke spread out in the air and smashed on the enemy's heads in a mess, forming an effect similar to a cluster bomb.

Explosions were heard one after another, and gunpowder smoke filled the enemy's stormtroopers. The grenade barrage, the most commonly used by the Chinese army in defense wars, was extended to 200 meters, rather than 300 meters.

The enemy kept falling down in front of the position, and even though he was alive, he was twisting and screaming on the ground with terrible pain. After sufficient artillery fire preparation, the fierce attack that the enemy thought was inevitable was finally crushed by the dense jets of the shotgun and the black rain of grenades at a distance of fifty meters.

After throwing down hundreds of dead bodies, the enemy retreated in a mess. The front-line defenders on the position also began to retreat, retreating to the second or even the third line of defense.

The best defense expert in World War II, Germany's Heinrich was well deserved. He has experienced countless important battles, and again and again, the Soviets tried to make gaps in his defense, but they were bleeding from their heads every time.

The last time in the Schlaufer Heights, although the fate of the German army's failure was already destined, Heinrich's art of defense reached a height that no one could reach under the same conditions. He successfully delayed Zhukov, who had strong troops and fierce artillery fire for three days, and in the last few days of the war, the best commander of the Soviet army was ruined.

One of Heinrich's tricks was to order the Germans to withdraw from the first trench before the Soviet artillery bombardment, causing all the Soviet artillery shells to hit the empty positions. When the shelling was over, the Germans quickly returned to the position and gave the charging Soviet army a head-on attack. At the same time, this also ensured that the troops would withdraw from the battlefield in time before being overwhelmed by the enemy and wait for work on the second line of defense. However, the risk was also very high.

Yang Tianfeng was also firmly convinced of the importance of deep defense. He told the officers this tactic and came up with some ways to reduce risks. For example, what the defenders have now adopted is to build the first trench wide and deep, and dig a two-foot-high and one and a half-width platform on one side of the enemy, so that the soldiers can pedal on the platform and shoot at the enemy.

If the enemy suddenly attacks without artillery preparations, and while occupying the first trench, they also fall into a trap similar to the "bench trench", they will be quickly counterattacked and even be killed and killed.

Yang Tianfeng also believed that complete trench fortifications could effectively resist the killing of artillery fire and protect soldiers to the greatest extent. The Japanese artillery fire was very fierce, but it was very different from the European battlefield, and it could not be compared with the Korean War.

Under such artillery fire intensity, trenches, barbed wire and bunkers can still exist strongly, which only means that the trenches can fully withstand the Japanese artillery bombardment. In China, it is not that the trenches are useless, but that they are not dug well and are not built strong enough to allow soldiers to be effectively protected.

The fierce bombing continued for a longer time, and the attack was launched again until the Japanese commander was convinced that the enemy had been severely damaged.

What puzzled the Japanese was that the attack was defeated again, and the defenders on the positions remained unmoved. They suddenly appeared and opened fire after the Japanese and puppet troops advanced within a hundred meters. Sixty mortars, grenade launchers, grenades, light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and three trenches formed a staging strike. The dense firepower was like the erupting blazing magma, killing the enemy and returning in a mess.

"Bang hook!" With a gunshot, an injured Japanese man tried to support his body with his arms on the ground, but he was shot on his head, turning into blood red.

Wu Jinsuo observed for a while and felt that there was no suitable target anymore. The observer urged him and the two of them got into the cat's ear.

The enemy's attack stopped temporarily because he couldn't figure out the situation or thought the defenders had strong military strength, and the Japanese were thinking of other ways.

The sound of shovels and picks sounded outside, "Dig more shovels of soil and less blood." This is a slogan that every officer and soldier of the Third Column know. For this reason, Yang Tianfeng used folk power to produce engineer shovels and picks, almost everyone was in hand.

As snipers, they are placed under the direct command of the company commander without having to participate in daily work. Their tasks are usually reconnaissance and precise shooting in special circumstances, and their survival is largely not to be noticed by the enemy.

The observer took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to Wu Jinsuo. He started to smoke leisurely alone and laughed, "It's time to rest now, I don't smoke during the battle, so I can hold it back."

Wu Jinsuo nodded, took the kettle, and drank in small sips. Is it exciting or hatred, he only felt dry during the battle.

Yes, he was full of hatred for the Japanese. After watching the video records and dubbing commentary, as well as the cruel crimes of the Japanese who witnessed with his own eyes, it will definitely make a person stronger and more ruthless when facing the Japanese. The problem is not about which way of killing, nor is it a question of moral degradation, but about those beastly enemies who should also experience it all.

At least for Wu Jinsuo, the seeds of incomparable hatred for the Japanese have been sown in his heart. Without exception, he will never forgive any of them, and he will shoot and kill them as long as I have the chance.

…………………

"The troops of the Third Column are indeed brave." Ma Bingzhong, the commander of the 1st Division 2nd Brigade, observed the battlefield from afar, and believed that he could not reach such a defensive level. "I heard that his attacks were unique, so he attacked Kaifeng and sent troops to assist in the battle. He defeated Sucheng with his own strength."

"Their weapons are well equipped." Captain Han paused for a moment and added: "Of course, the trench fortifications are also quite strong, and the anti-cannon effect is very good."

The temporary cavalry division is a miscellaneous unit, while the Qingma troops are originally inferior to other national troops in terms of weapons and equipment, and there are fewer national governments to supplement, which is one of its weaknesses. However, the first cavalry division has strong cohesion and dedication to combat. Coupled with the fast maneuver of the cavalry and slashing and sabers, it is also a very combat-ready unit.

Especially in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Ma family army and the Japanese cavalry had a fight, and they suffered a loss due to the short sword, so they specially invited the famous "Hezhou Knife" craftsmen to make new swords and send them to the front line.

The new horse saber is longer than the Japanese saber, but the hilt is longer, so the center of gravity is reasonable, the center of gravity is in front of the hilt, and it is not difficult to wield when waving. The back of the knife is thick and tough and difficult to break (the Japanese saber has good hardness, but it is easy to break when the double swords are touched). The blade part is thin and extremely sharp. The tip of the knife is lifted up to adapt to the "punch-and-drag knife" technique that the Ma family army is good at. The silver insertion on the back of the knife increases toughness and weight, making it more powerful when chopping and killing.

The one who caused the Qingma cavalry to suffer losses was the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Shangqiu. This time, a cavalry squadron was dispatched to assist in the war. Therefore, Ma Biao and Ma Bingzhong were very eager to fight with the enemy again and Xixue's shame of failure.

"If we defend, we will definitely not be able to play so easily." Ma Bingzhong smiled bitterly and said, "After this battle, Yang Tianfeng may be promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the Henan-Anhui Border Region. Sun Tongxuan is in charge of Zhengzhou, and Yang Tianfeng is directly under the jurisdiction of the Henan-Anhui Border Region."

"Is the news true?" The regiment commander Ma Desheng was a little surprised. He knew Yang Tianfeng's age, and it was too young. The promotion to deputy commander-in-chief means that Yang Tianfeng might be promoted to lieutenant general, and may be the youngest lieutenant general in the National × army.

"I heard from Master said this." Ma Bingzhong pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, it depends on the performance. In the future, our first cavalry division will replenish personnel, materials, and combat assistance, and we may rely on Yang Tianfeng. Therefore, Master means to establish good relations and build a long-term perspective."

"Yang Tianfeng already has the territory of seven or eight counties and an arsenal in his hands, and has great development potential." Ma Ren, the chief of staff of the division, did not speak. At this time, he put down his telescope and said in a deep voice: "Even Sun Tongxuan is asking for him, let alone our first cavalry division. Yang Tianfeng's character is not difficult to guess. He has a grudge against the Japanese to kill his mother. As long as he can fight, he is still very generous in the real anti-Japanese troops."

Everyone nodded. This condition was not difficult, and the first cavalry division was not vague to fight the Japanese.

"Chief of Staff, when will we counterattack?" Ma Bingzhong asked in a hurry.

Ma Ren smiled faintly and said, "The main force of the Third Column and the cavalry Brigade are intercepting the Japanese troops dispatched in Zhecheng. They are expected to advance to Huaiyang tonight. They besieged the city and cut off the enemy's retreat. We will take advantage of the situation to counterattack and eliminate the Japanese army."

"Yang Tianfeng has a big appetite." Ma Ren paused for a moment and continued: "He wants to restore Huaiyang, severely damage or annihilate Kaifeng's reinforcements, and then attack Shangqiu and hold the grain-producing land of the eastern Henan Plain in his hands."

"There is territory, food, population, and the arsenal supplies weapons and ammunition. What scale does Yang Tianfeng want to expand the troops?" Ma Bingzhong shook his head with emotion, "The Third Column now has a division of troops? Is he going to build an army?"
