Chapter 571: Aka’s Power
Yang Qingfeng sighed, feeling a little depressed.
"The pressure is too great! There's no point in keeping dragging it on like this. If the damage is really serious, we will have to retreat. The Japanese army is advancing cautiously and pressing forward step by step. We can't just leave the entire Xiong'er Mountain area to them"!
"Lao Yang, let's wait and see tomorrow! We have made some adjustments. Let's see if the Japanese can afford the losses tomorrow."
"Okay then, I won't ask how to adjust it. If you need to attack, just generate electricity or send someone to deliver a message. Our 8,000 troops are ready to attack at any time."
Seeing Yang Qingfeng standing up, Chen Feng continued:
"Lao Yang, don't go. Come with me tomorrow to check out the situation at the front line."
Yang Qingfeng put down his hands that were buttoning his shirt, he also wanted to see how the cold gun was adjusted.
"Okay, I'll ask the guard to go back and say hello."
Yang Qingfeng came out of the cave, and Lin Chuan continued to ask:
"Captain, is there really no way to wipe out all these Japs? As long as they are wiped out completely, the Japs will never have the courage to attack our base again."
Chen Feng covered his cold face with his warm hands. Who gave him this confidence? He could wipe out all the enemies at any time. Even if there were 150,000 Japanese soldiers waiting in line to be swept away, it would take a long time.
"Don't always think about annihilating the entire enemy. Let's control the casualties tomorrow and see how Fujita Susumu reacts! This old Japanese is too cautious. He won't give us any chance at all."
At daybreak, Chen Feng and Yang Qingfeng had a simple breakfast and took their binoculars to Niumu Cave on the west side of Jiguanzigou. This was the best observation point on the entire front line and also the place where Lin Chuan commanded the battle. The cave was hidden under the cliff, and no firepower could penetrate it unless it was a rocket launcher that could fly three kilometers.
At 7:30 in the morning, the Japanese military's alert planes arrived. One reconnaissance plane and five fighter planes circled around the frontline positions at high altitude, occasionally flying back for a while to search.
When the planes came, the Japanese artillery opened fire. The mountain artillery and field artillery bombarded for half an hour, as if using the sound of the artillery to call the soldiers of the guard regiment to get up and fight.
At exactly eight o'clock, the Japanese army launched an attack. From Jigongzigou to Fangshan, the densely packed devils formed three attack formations and marched towards the positions of the Guards Regiment.
At a distance of 600 meters, the Japanese mortars opened fire, suppressing the large-caliber heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the Guard Regiment. The mortar bombing was very disgusting, firing at a low rate of about ten shells a minute. Two minutes was enough for the attacking Japanese army to rush to the front of the position.
Fujita Susumu also hid in the cave, holding a telescope and watching the attack scene. It seemed that there were some changes on the opposite side today. After advancing 400 meters, the machine guns on the opposite side would focus and fire at artillery fire, but today there was no movement, as if there were no defenders in the trenches.
Did he quit? Fujita Susumu was puzzled. It was unlikely. Maybe there was some conspiracy.
Just after advancing 300 meters, dense artillery shells flew in from behind the opposite mountain. Fujita Susumu's heart tightened. Are they finally going to use the mortar?
boom! Boom boom boom!
A round of rapid fire killed and wounded many Japanese troops within 300 meters, but the machine guns on the opposite side remained silent.
The artillery fire only lasted one round, and the soldiers advanced 200 meters under the artillery fire. At this time, the submachine guns should have opened fire! The reason for the three attack lines was to consume the firepower of the opponent's submachine guns.
Would they really run away? If we take this position, the situation in the entire Xiong'er Mountain will be greatly improved.
Fujita looked at the trenches across the street through a telescope, and he felt more hopeful. Yes! Wouldn't it be better to withdraw? Why did we have to lose everything together?
The soldiers broke through the distance of 100 meters, and they were about to throw a grenade in with a charge. Suddenly, a fire appeared in the telescope. The machine gun on the opposite side finally opened fire. There was movement at the machine gun fire point. Suddenly, a row of guns appeared in the trench. The strange thing was that the opposite side did not show their heads. It seemed that two hands were holding guns and shooting. Are you kidding? What's the rhythm?
Looking down, Fujita Jin found something wrong. The soldiers on the three attack lines were rolling down the hillside like rolling gourds. This shouldn't be the case! The machine guns on the opposite side were not densely packed and couldn't have such an effect. Were they holding up their guns and shooting them as if they were joking?
"Captain Lengqiang, what kind of gun is this! You can even hold it up and shoot, and the hit rate is pretty good!"
"AK-47 was independently developed by us. This is the first time it is deployed on the battlefield to test its effectiveness."
"Do we need to try this effect again? Don't you see that the Japanese have turned into a rolling gourd? That's not right! Why are the ones behind also rolling? Captain Lengqiang, how penetrating is this gun?"
"That's right. Its penetrating power is no weaker than that of an anti-aircraft machine gun. It will be no problem to penetrate one."
The mortars stopped firing and the attacking Japanese troops were scattered to pieces. With no hope of charging forward, they fired signal flares and retreated. They were very brave when they attacked but looked very embarrassed when they retreated.
During an attack, Fujita Susumu discovered a problem. The losses on his side were similar to those of yesterday, but the enemy was fighting too easily. The mortar bombardment was not intensive, and the machine guns were started very late. When the mysterious guns opened fire, the enemies on the opposite side did not show up, so the losses would be minimal.
Fujita Susumu felt more confused. He thought he had enough understanding of the firepower of the cold gun team, but now it seems that it is still not enough!
The Japanese army did not continue the attack because they realized that the Guards Regiment's mortars were set up on the reverse slope. Without dealing with the mortars, the attacking team would not be able to organize a formation.
At 10:30 in the morning, thirty bombers took off from the Peking Airport and arrived. The reconnaissance planes had already completed their reconnaissance. The enemy's artillery was set up in the mountains behind the defense line. Although it was sparse and camouflaged, it was noticed by the reconnaissance planes when it opened fire in the morning.
The planes formed echelons and launched dive bombing. The anti-aircraft firepower of the positions in front of the mountain was too strong. There should be no defense behind the mountain, right?
Contrary to the expectations of the bombing echelon, the anti-aircraft firepower in the shade of the mountain only grew stronger, and when the bombers dived to a distance of one thousand meters, dozens of fire lines carrying tracer bullets blocked all routes of the front echelon.
In more than ten seconds, before the bombers dropped their bombs, two of them were blown up in mid-air by large-caliber heavy machine guns. The wing of one of the planes on the left was also seriously damaged, and it staggered into the snow, with a ball of red flames rising.
Two consecutive waves of attacks failed, and the six bombers only dropped three or five bombs. The Japanese planes changed their dive direction, turned around and started diving from the west.
The artillerymen lying in the snow five or six hundred meters away from the mortar kept muttering.
"Do you think the machine gun positions have to be so brutal? Just release them and blow them up. They are just some sticks anyway."
The Japanese army stopped the attack. Not only did the artillerymen hide themselves, but they also replaced most of the mortars with short and thick wooden sticks when the reconnaissance planes were circling. They then stuck them diagonally into the snow, and they were basically indistinguishable from the mortars.
