Chapter 14 The Night of Fire
Chapter 14 Night of Fire
"Oh no! Don't chase, avoid the shelling!" Hearing the fireworks group behind the French roared again, Guo Huai hurriedly ordered the messenger to send a ban on the pursuit. If the enemy's heavy artillery leaves the trenches, the consequences can be imagined.
"Hidden and hidden..." The chiefs' loud scolding sounded again in the trench, but now their words seemed a bit redundant. The soldiers who knew that the opponent's powerful artillery had entered the trench early, and then lowered their heads and covered their ears desperately.
"Boom..." The sound of artillery covered the sky and earth. More than a hundred shells fell on the battlefield like rain, stirring up dust. From time to time, shells fell into the trenches, and even dozens of Iron Blood Army soldiers with the title of the book were blown away.
"Haha... Then fight, then fight, and give me a half hour to let these yellow-skinned monkeys know that our French Republic is powerful!" Looking at the iron-blooded soldiers who flew from time to time, and looking at the screams, Major General Jill laughed excitedly. This time, the Chinese made this suffer an unprecedented loss. As the commander of the Far East, his face was lost in front of the Japanese dwarf.
The fierce shelling was carried out, heavy artillery, 88mm cannons, mountain cannons, and even Japanese used it to remove mortars from gunboats. However, it was this kind of mortar with a range of only one or two thousand meters that gave the Iron Blood Army greater damage. The mortar cannon is the original form of the mortar, forming a certain curved trajectory. This shell is more likely to fall into the enemy trenches. Now it is like this. Although the heavy artillery is amazing, as long as it approaches for fortifications, it is good that even if more than a dozen heavy artillery shells can get close to the trenches, the curved shooting of the mortar cannon reaches an astonishing one-fifth and sixth, and the other party has mortar cannons on both sides of the division, which means that one round of artillery cannons may fall into two.
There were many soldiers on the front line. Although a mortar shell was not big and not powerful, the shrapnel fell on people and were either dead or disabled. There were no heavy artillery flying, but they all fell in a pool of blood.
"Hurry up, the company commander is injured, medical soldier, medical soldier!" There was a burst of pain in the trenches of the Iron Blood Army. Although they had thoughts and had faith that they didn't understand very well, in this heart-wrenching pain, they had to wail loudly to relieve their fears.
"No, I won't fight anymore, I'm going home!" Suddenly a soldier shouted loudly. He had three corpses beside him, one and half of his head were cut off, and the red and white logistics were all over the place. The young soldier was frightened. He originally thought that he could shine his ancestors in the army, but when he was really here, especially when he saw his comrades around him who were killed by shells and died of all corpses, he wanted to escape.
"I **!" At this time, an officer stood up braved the fire of artillery, took out his pistol, and shot the boy two times. The boy stared at his company commander blankly. The company commander, who had always been cute, kind and kind, did not expect that he would die at the hands of his company commander.
"Don't let the third company be embarrassed. How much has the Iron Blood Party given us? Field, food and clothing. If there were no heads, we would have become wild ghosts on the roadside. Look at your current family and think about the days you lived in the past. Damn it! You fucking pat your conscience and think about why you gave you ten yuan a month. Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while. Give you food and food for you. Just pick up guns and fight for me. Who dares to be like this coward of the turtle grandson? I will be the first to kill him!" Deng Sen's control over the army can be said to have reached a certain level. Every officer has a meeting of officers every month, and all the non-commissioned officers and above participated. Moreover, the family members of the officers are treated higher, so the officers can be said to be extremely loyal to him, and even many dare to die.
The soldiers all turned their heads, and many people knew that they had to fight when they joined the army, and that people would die when they fought. At the beginning, they all came for welfare.
"The company commander is right. Although we are all new recruits, we all know that from the day we joined the army, our families were taken care of by the head of state. If we escaped at the last minute, fearing death, even if we were beaten to death, it would be useless. Even if we were killed, we would die in battle on this battlefield. As long as our government is still there and the head of state is still there, our families will definitely be best cared for. Haven't you seen the lives of the families of the military martyrs? Yes! They all lost men, but their lives are very rich
, the head of state has arranged everything for them! Brothers, how do you say that old saying? Soldiers die for their confidants. Since we have become soldiers of the head of state and entered the Iron Blood Army, then do it well. In the future, the immortal brothers will do more for the dead brothers. I, Wang Shanbao, are not a bear, I think that the ones who can't die are heroes, and the ones who die are heroes. Let us laugh together and watch the blood rain fly, and it is not in vain to walk in the world." A corporal in his forties pulled his company commander into the trenches and said loudly at the same time.
"Yes, people die and birds are on the sky. If your family dies, they will be free to get promoted and make money alive, and they will fight for his grandson!"
"That's right! We are not cowards, and this little Japanese are nothing scary, they just have a little more fireworks! They are not the same as our cannons, but a large group of them were destroyed." The soldiers were infected and said, "You said in a word, many people laughed, and they burst into tears. This is also a helpless choice! They have no choice but to fight!
"Boom..." The bombardment of artillery landed in the earthen artillery fortification intentionally or unintentionally, and the death explosions sounded one after another. Now the Iron Blood Army's artillery group soldiers have also received the order to withdraw all the enemy when they are bombarded. The earthen artillery must be worthless, but the soldiers and officers do not want to lose.
"Hurry... carry him into the rear for treatment..." The soldiers on the trench in the first and second floors suffered heavy losses under the shelling. In order to minimize the losses, many soldiers were transported into three times. There was a field hospital in the secret fortifications behind the fourth floor. This was a new department built by Dengsen later. It collected traditional Chinese medicine and some people who had studied Western medicine. Most of these people were forced to come, and some were even pushed by guns. For Dengsen, everything he had done was made by these soldiers. In order to save the soldiers' losses, he could use any method.
"Hurry up, the military doctor, our company commander was shot!" In the wartime hospital behind, wounded people were sent over. Western medicine conducted explosion injections, traditional Chinese medicine performed acupuncture and blood circulation, or sprinkled with blood potions.
"Company Commander, the company commander was shot! There are many battalion commanders here, and we don't have that many tricks!" The doctors roared at these big-headed soldiers. Who is not afraid of the continuous thundering sounds? They are all afraid! What are the guards outside? Yes, they are guards and surveillance. Their rules are different from those of the soldiers. The soldiers are shot and killed when they are afraid of war. However, if they escape, they are still shot and killed, but they are still implicated by their families. Military law stipulates that the military doctor escapes and shoots the whole family.
"Doctor, our company commander is too seriously injured, you might as well take a look!" The guards were almost crying, and the battalion commander was his biological brother.
"Okay OK! Come here quickly!" The doctor must be a doctor. Although it was tortured to be forcibly tied to such a war-torn ghost place, it was still possible to save people.
"The situation of the brigade commander is not very good! The other party's shelling was too fierce, and the number of personnel was severe!" Chief of Staff Wang Chenghuai was worried. The other party had been shelling for nearly an hour, and the soldiers on the front line lost nearly 1,500 people. This was half a regiment! He had already lost so much before he saw the enemy.
"Where is the machine gun? How much does it cost to heavy machine guns?" Heavy machine guns are attack and defense weapons. Soldiers have lost so much. When they see the fierce artillery fire of the opponent, Guo Huai knew that he is now more worried that the heavy machine gun fortifications will be destroyed, so it will be much more difficult for the enemy to charge and resist.
"Thirty-three heavy machine guns have lost twelve thirteen thrusts!" Wang Chenghuai was also worried. Twelve thrusts. If it weren't for the time of dating with the Germans and showing kindness to the Germans, the Germans would not have sold them. It's a pity that they had lost so much in the artillery fire.
"Order the regiments and battalions to evacuate and hide during artillery fire and are ready to block the enemy at any time. It is only eight o'clock now. Before tomorrow morning, there will be no mistakes in the frontier positions." The First Brigade must persist until the early morning of the dark day. The opponent will definitely attack again after the artillery fire, and it is dark, even with two searchlights, it is still full of dangers.
Sure enough, after the artillery bombardment took place for more than twenty minutes, Jill ordered a Japanese company to attack with a French regiment and half of the vassal army! The French army had lost one quarter of its vassal army to advance 20,000 people. There were not many vassal army, and now there was only half of the regiment left!
"Thousands of years..." Japanese soldiers still maintained extremely high morale. Perhaps they had forgotten the soldiers who were killed and injured here half a month ago.
"Pay attention to defense, pay attention to defense... Heavy machine guns, set up heavy machine guns quickly, and you must not let the opponent rush over. Searchlights..." The commanders on the front line were all anxious. The light was very dim at night and could not see any matters ten meters away. They could only use searchlights.
"Where, hit..." The searchlight moved back and forth, and as soon as it shone on the enemy, the soldiers on the front line would shoot.
"Turn their searchlights!" The French and Japanese found themselves exposed because of two searchlights on the opposite side, so heavy machine guns shot towards the searchlights one after another. However, the searchlights were not so easy to use. The searchlights were behind the second trench, and the distance was nearly two hundred meters. The range of the heavy machine gun was not accurate.
"Fight..." Under the illumination of searchlights, bullets scattered the front line to the enemy's places one by one, except for gunfire, and from time to time, bursts of enemy screams came from time to time. However, even in front of the enemy's numerous chargers, the two searchlights were still a drop in the bucket. In a short while, the enemy had already rushed through the barbed wire and fired at the trenches, and the casualties on both sides increased exponentially.
"Ground cannons fire!" There are only 47 of the more than 100 local cannons now, and they will not play much role, let alone the darkness. They can only set the range at sixty or seventy in front of the trenches, so that they will not harm their own personnel.
"Bang bang..." The sound of the earth cannon that looked like a super-large caliber cannon shooting almost occupied the entire world in the dark.
"Boat...Boat..." At this time, whether it was the screaming Japanese or the arrogant and vengeful French, they threw away their guns and ran back, they were afraid of death! But they rushed too close! They fled back and arrived at the center of the artillery shooting. For a moment, there were screams again, and the coalition forces returned in a mess! Only those unlucky guys were left to cry in pain on the position!
"Fight, fight, then fight, hit me until no one of them is left..." Major General Jill was so angry that he finally rushed to such a close distance that he failed again, and the heart-wrenching sound of cannons. He decided that even after shooting all the shells, he would not not rush forward with his soldiers at the risk of being shot by such a hateful cannon.
"Major General Jill, although the shells are sufficient, you cannot be allowed to use them like this!" Shinichi Yamaakaya objected at this time. Although the artillery of the coalition forces was enough to bomb the opponent's position for a day and a night, it was obviously not worth wasting so many shells in such a position.
"I am the commander and I have the final say! You yellow monkey! All yellow monkeys deserve to die! Bombing for three hours, then rushing for me, I don't believe that Chinese people are cockroaches!" Major General Jill still insisted on bombing, but he should do it for three hours.
"Tonight is destined to be a night of fire. I inform the soldiers to use engineer shovels to dig the trenches again. Dig two meters, and of course leave a stairs for shooting!" Guo Huai felt a little frustrated when he looked at the flames on the position. If he said that the enemy was nothing scary, even if the recruits were the majority, he would dare to fight against each other. It was just that the artillery of these countries was fierce!
