    At the foot of Xigu Mountain, the war is still going on!

    While the frontal battlefield was still fiercely fighting, Colonel Haraguchi led a large group of troops to the right side of Saigu Mountain.

    After arriving here, Colonel Haraguchi discovered that although the hilltop not far away was still very steep, some places were not very high from the ground. The lowest point was probably only three or four meters away. He could go up by just finding a few ladders.  .

    And as long as you climb the gap, you can climb halfway up the mountain through these places, and finally go around from top to bottom to attack the Chinese army behind the frontal position. You will definitely win in one battle.

    Thinking of this, Colonel Haraguchi no longer hesitated and immediately ordered people to cut down trees and build ladders.

    This Xigu Mountain is located in southern Anhui, with lush vegetation and huge bamboos and pine trees everywhere. There are enough raw materials, so the Japanese army quickly raised 30 to 40 ladders with a height of five or six meters.

    Afterwards, the Japanese army moved all these ladders to the right side of the battlefield, preparing to catch the Chinese army by surprise.

    In fact, just when Colonel Haraguchi sent troops to cut down trees and build ladders, Zhang Tengjiao and others saw it through the telescope, and they understood the little Japanese's plan just by thinking about it.

    But they didn¡¯t stop it, let alone panic.

    Li Guoyao personally conquered Xigu Mountain, so he naturally knew where the weak spots in the defense of this stronghold were. Li Guoyao and others had known about the gaps for a long time, and of course they had made preparations.

    Especially after taking Xigu Mountain, Li Guoyao intended to build it into the second base of the 7th Division, so he personally renovated the fortifications on the mountain.  A large number of defensive bunkers were built at the junction of the two.

    The bunker designed and constructed by Li Guoyao was very unique. Originally, the top of the highland where the mountains were connected was a flat round platform. According to convention, the position of the defending side's fortifications should be built on the ridgeline of the cliff platform. This way, the attacking side can have a clear view of the dynamics of the attacking side, and it is also convenient.  Use your firepower from a high position.

    But Li Guoyao did not do this. Instead, he built the bunker in the center of a flat circular platform on the high ground. The attacking troops could not see the defenders down the slope, so direct firepower would be ineffective, and indirect firepower such as mortars could not reach them.  At the top of the mountain, this is the reverse slope tactic.

    In addition, Li Guoyao also ordered people to deploy a large number of light and heavy machine guns in these places. As long as the little devils launch an attack, bullets will fall from the sky, and then these guys will be unable to escape.

    So when they saw that the Japs were planning to launch an attack from the right side of the mountain, Zhang Tengjiao and others were not nervous. Instead, they looked at it with the mentality of watching a good show.

    The infantry brigade led by Colonel Haraguchi quickly arrived a few hundred meters in front of the gap in the mountain. Then under the order of Colonel Haraguchi, a squadron of infantry launched a charge towards the gap. I saw these Japanese soldiers carrying them one by one.  He climbed up the ladder and approached the gap with relatively slow steps.

    Halfway up the mountain, looking at the little Jaap who was gradually approaching the mountain, Wen Debiao asked with some suspicion: "Tourist, do you think this method of Master's is reliable?"

    "Why do you ask that?" Zhang Tengjiao asked with a frown.

    "Brigade, you also know the situation there. Our people can't see the little Japs below at all. Can we really stop the Japs from climbing the mountain?" Wen Debiao said.

    "To be honest, I don't know for sure, but since the master has arranged it this way, there must be a reason for it. Didn't the master already say that day? What is this shooting concept called blocking shooting? Let's try it if it works.  You already know!" Zhang Tengjiao said.

    They have not received formal military education and do not understand the professional terms Li Guoyao said. They think it sounds mysterious, but they are not sure about the effect.

    Putting down the telescope in his hand, Wen Debiao said again: "It's almost three hundred meters. How about it? Can we fire?"

    "No hurry, wait a moment!" While speaking, Zhang Tengjiao's eyes did not leave the battlefield, and he kept staring down.

    Wen Debiao somewhat admired Zhang Tengjiao's calmness. Although his immediate boss was not very educated, he had his own way of marching and fighting, and he had the demeanor of a general. Even Deputy Commander Wang, who was also born in the Northeast Army, had his own way of marching and fighting.  Far less so.

    Since Zhang Tengjiao did not order to fire, he could only suppress the tension in his heart, raised the telescope again, and monitored the little Japanese's movements.

    A few more minutes passed, and when the little devil was only two hundred meters away from the gap in the mountain, Zhang Tengjiao turned back to the guard behind him and said, "Huzi, send a signal to the heavy machine gun company immediately!"

      The guard Huzi did not dare to neglect, and immediately ran to the mountain ridge and signaled at the heavy machine gun position on the platform behind the mountain, ordering them to open fire.

    Seeing Huzi¡¯s flag, more than a dozen heavy machine gunners who had been waiting impatiently immediately pressed the button of the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

    In an instant, more than a dozen Type 92 heavy machine guns roared "Puff, Puff, Puff" at the same time, then pointed diagonally towards the sky at a thirty-degree angle, spraying ammunition in the distance.

    Since continuous fire was chosen, the muzzle of the Type 92 heavy machine gun sprayed out dazzling muzzle flames, and the temperature of the barrel also continued to increase.

    To be honest, the Type 92 heavy machine gun is not suitable for continuous fire. First of all, the ammunition supply method of this machine gun is very strange. It is not a chain type, but a relatively backward plate armor supply. One plate armor has 30 rounds of ammunition, and  Compared to the terrifying theoretical rate of fire of the Type 92, this method of feeding ammunition is simply a pitfall.

    Therefore, on the real battlefield, the Type 92 of the Little Japanese can only choose to fire bursts, instead of continuously firing heavy machine guns like Maxim.

    However, it is different now. On the garrison position, these heavy machine guns do not care whether they can hit the target at all. The order they received is to fire in this way.

    By the way, the attacking little devils seem to be relatively relaxed, because they have observed before that those stupid supporters/that person do not seem to have built a defensive position here. What they have to do now is to climb halfway up the mountain through ladders, and then  Going around behind the front defenders is not very dangerous.

    But just as they approached the gaps without any warning, an overwhelming scream suddenly came from the sky.

    Hearing this scream, all the hairs on the Japanese soldiers stood up. They were all veterans and had participated in many battles before, so they naturally knew what the sound was!

    This sound is caused by the friction between bullets and the air when flying high in the air. Usually only light and heavy machine guns can shoot such terrifying bullets, and hearing this kind of sound is not a good sign. It is the death talisman of the king of hell.  !

    Immediately afterwards, some of the little Japs on the charging road continued to fall to the ground, and some were injured, letting out pitiful cries of pain. For a time, the shouts, screams and the sounds of gunfire on the battlefield intertwined, forming a strange and strange song.  Another passionate symphony of death.

    ¡°Baga, it¡¯s too scary!¡±

    "Bagayalu, where did these bullets come from"

    "Help, I want to go home, I want to find my mother"

    Colonel Haraguchi, who was supervising the battle from behind, was completely confused. What was going on?  There is no army on the opposite side. At least you can't see any trace of the enemy with a telescope, but these bullets are all fired from there.

    Since it was daytime and the distance was too great, it was difficult to see clearly the trajectory of the bullet. Haraguchi was completely blinded for a while.

    But the situation on the battlefield would not stop because of his confusion. The dense barrage covered the entire space within a few hundred meters in front. A large number of Japanese soldiers were hit by the ammunition falling from the sky, and then fell to the ground dead while charging.  The Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

    Neither the Japanese nor Zhang Tengjiao and others know that this tactic was learned by Li Guoyao from the Germans during World War I. It is the famous blocking shot. This shooting method can greatly preserve one's own performance.  The power of light and heavy machine guns was based on this terrible tactic. The Germans killed more than 60,000 British troops in one day during the Battle of the Somme.

    Although the Seventh Division only has a dozen light and heavy machine guns, it is enough to deal with a mere brigade of Japanese soldiers. It would be okay if the little Japanese soldiers withdraw their troops now. If they continue to persist in their obsession, even these more than a thousand Japanese soldiers will remain alive.  Here, I am afraid it will be difficult to overcome this gap.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
