    500 meters behind the main position is the forward command post of the 1st Regiment, including Lv Zhanwu, commander of the Du8th Brigade, Ni Zhiliang, chief of staff, and Zhang Hao, commander of the 1st Regiment.

    After the battle started, they have been paying close attention to the situation on the front line.

    When the little devil saw that he was being attacked, he did not continue to charge. Instead, he started shooting at the defenders on the spot. Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The little devil's attack was almost over.

    Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with a kid falling down and shooting after being hit during an attack, but the problem is that the current terrain is not suitable!

    The defenders' positions were built along the mountains. When the Japanese attacked, it was a feint attack, which was already very laborious.  When the defenders opened fire, they were acting condescendingly. In this case, they could only rush into the trenches with all their strength, otherwise the little devils would not have the slightest chance.

    Sure enough, the attack lasted less than 15 minutes and ended with more than half of the nearly 400 Japanese soldiers from the two squadrons killed or injured.

    Seeing the Japs receding like a tide, Lu Zhanwu said in a deep voice: "Call the forward positions immediately and ask them to evacuate heavy weapons and soldiers into the artillery holes immediately, and then ask the battalion commander to report the casualties."

    "yes!"

    A few minutes later, a combat staff officer grabbed the phone and reported: "Reporting to the brigade, more than 30 people were killed and more than 20 wounded in the first battalion in this battle. Half of them were killed by the Japs' artillery. Another company commander Xu  The citizen was killed in action, and his position was taken over by company deputy Wang Daguang!"

    "Got it! Let him be prepared, the Japs will attack again soon!" Lu Zhanwu said.

    "yes!"

    After the ordering soldiers left, Zhang Hao said with some sadness: "Xu Guomin added that he was from our regiment not long ago. He graduated from the Infantry Department of the Central Military Academy. He had some ideas about fighting. Unexpectedly, he was killed in action within a few months of entering the battlefield.  I heard that this boy is still the only son in the family, which is a pity!"

    Lu Zhanwu sighed and said: "It's a pity, but this is war. War is always cruel. The bullets on the battlefield don't care which school you graduated from, or whether you are the only son of your family, or whether you are the only son of your family."  How much money does it have? What does your father do? Today, a Xu citizen was killed, but tomorrow it might be us!"

    "Who says it's not the case? Since we came here from Nanjing City, in less than a year, our brothers have changed several times, and they are all used to it!"

    "It's good to get used to it. You are a few years older than me, and you should know better than me the principle of not being in charge of soldiers. Now that you have put on this military uniform, you can only be prepared to be shrouded in horse leather. I will die and the country will survive. If you don't  There is no other way!¡±

    "Um!"

    Just as he was talking, a heart-stopping sound of breaking through the air came from the forward position again, followed by a loud sound that shook the ground. It was obvious that the bombardment of the little devils had begun again.

    Sure enough, fierce shelling sounded from the entire forward position, followed by bursts of "rumbling" sounds.

    Lu Zhanwu and others immediately stopped talking, took telescopes to the observation port, and looked at the forward position.

    At a glance, everyone took a breath of cold air and saw that the forward position was densely packed with Japanese soldiers. It looked like the size was no less than a complete infantry brigade.

    What¡¯s more important is that among these Japanese soldiers, there are actually a large number of Japanese tanks, as many as fifty or sixty.

    I saw these tanks roaring towards the garrison positions while roaring with black smoke. The artillery on the tanks and the machine guns on the tanks were frantically pouring ammunition towards the forward positions.

    It can be seen that the little devil is a little anxious. He wants to go all out to completely defeat the defenders in front of him.

    Limited by the terrain, the 61st Army only deployed two lines of defense in Honghua Ridge, and the first line of defense was the most important. As long as the Japanese army conquered the first line of defense, it would be much easier to attack the second line of defense.

    In view of this, Lu Zhanwu immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Give me the order to have the artillery fire on the Japanese positions immediately, so that I can suppress the Japanese artillery!"

    "yes!"

    "Call the air defense regiment again and ask them to deploy an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion to the front line and kill those iron bastards of the little devils for me!"

    "yes!"

    As an officer brought out by Li Guoyao, Lu Zhanwu is very familiar with the performance of the powerful machine guns equipped by the 61st Army. This machine gun can not only shoot at high altitudes but also at horizontal levels. It is also small in size, light in weight, flexible, and can enter combat quickly.  , has a fast rate of fire and strong firepower. It not only has a good shooting effect on low-altitude targets, but also has a good striking effect on land targets.

      If armor-piercing incendiary bombs and armor-piercing incendiary tracer bombs are used, they can penetrate a 20 mm thick homogeneous steel plate.  It has considerable power against aircraft, helicopters, light armored targets, technical weapons, vehicles, firepower points, ships and cavalry in the air, on the ground, and on the water within 1 kilometer.

    It is suitable for fighting in various regions and natural conditions. It is also suitable for shooting at ground and water targets. It can damage thin-walled armored targets such as enemy infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and light boats. It can also block key roads or passes.  Suppress enemy fire points and annihilate enemy clusters of vivid targets.

    In addition, the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun's flat shooting has also been tested in actual combat. At a distance of 1,200 meters, it can remotely suppress enemy firepower and attacks. One of its bullets can interrupt a soldier in the middle.

    Moreover, Lu Zhanwu had previously observed the Little Devil's Type 94 and Type 95 tanks at close range. The thickness of the armor of this iron bastard was really unflattering. Once faced with a killer weapon such as an anti-aircraft machine gun, it would be useless.  The power to fight back.

    What can be imagined is that after the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion enters the battle, these Japanese tank troops will be beaten to pieces.

    A few minutes later, the battle started in full force. The artillery on the defender's position finally opened fire after being silent for less than half an hour. A large number of artillery shells hit the swarming Japanese soldiers, causing considerable damage to the little Japanese soldiers.

    At the same time, the artillery positions of both sides were within the firing range of the other side, so the two sides immediately started an artillery battle after the sound of cannons, and each suffered casualties.

    At this time, the Chinese and Japanese troops on the frontline were firing on all cylinders. No one was hiding, they were all working hard!

    Since the position of the air defense battalion was located on the right side of the main position, a full seven or eight hundred meters away, it was not impossible to get up in time. Therefore, the little devil's tank troops took advantage of this period to advance very quickly. In the blink of an eye,  The troops rushed to a distance of four to five hundred meters in front of the defenders' position, causing tremendous pressure on the defenders on the front line.

    And because the little devil¡¯s vehicle-mounted machine guns and artillery were very powerful, they also caused huge casualties to the troops on the defender¡¯s position. Fortunately, Zhang Hao mobilized a company of reinforcements in time and managed to stabilize the formation.

    Five minutes after the battle, Zhou Jiangang, commander of the first battalion of the air defense regiment, finally came up with more than 300 soldiers.

    After seeing the situation on the front line, Zhou Jiangang did not hesitate and immediately ordered the troops to deploy anti-aircraft machine guns on the mountainside a hundred meters away behind the front-line position, and then quickly entered the battle.

    Unlike the Jingui Xiaojiazi anti-aircraft machine gun, the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun is very sturdy and has strong adaptability to the battlefield. It can be directly put into battle within five minutes after arriving on the battlefield.

    "Bang bang bang"

    When the unique sound of the Type 75 sounded on the battlefield, the nervous expressions of the former 61st Army veterans instantly relaxed.

    The tense atmosphere just now was entirely caused by the little Japanese chariot, but everyone knew that no matter how powerful the little Japanese chariot was, it could not withstand the attack of the animals of the air defense battalion.

    It can be expected that in the next time, these arrogant iron bastards of the little devils will be blown up one by one, and eventually become a pile of scrap metal on the frontline.

    They had seen too many things like this before, especially at the end of the Battle of Guide two months ago. After the Japanese troops withdrew from the front line, there were hundreds of tortoise shells left outside Guide City alone.  , were all killed by the air defense regiment.

    The iron bastard in front of him was not as good as those outside Guide City in terms of size or firepower, and he obviously couldn't stand up to being dealt with. Therefore, the eyes of these veterans all shone, and some even told him excitedly.  The new recruits around you are in for a good show!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
