The artillery on these two fixed forts are Krupp cannons dismantled from the forts in Tianjin Port. They were installed here at this time, which is very suitable for dealing with large-scale Japanese charging troops.
These more than ten cannons were originally placed in fortresses along the coast to bombard Japanese warships.
At this time, the infantry used to deal with the Japanese army felt like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
Accompanied by the roar of more than a dozen Krupp cannons, large-caliber shells fell into the Japanese charging formation in the blink of an eye.
When a shell hits a crowd of Japanese soldiers, at least dozens, or even hundreds, of people will be killed or injured.
When the front-line commanders of the Japanese army saw the large-caliber artillery of the Fourth Army starting to unleash their power, they immediately roared and said: "Everyone, adjust your formation immediately and spread out!!"
With his roar, the already dispersed formation of the Japanese soldiers suddenly became even more dispersed.
In this way, they would not suffer too many casualties from the artillery bombardment of the Fourth Army.
However, due to the bombardment of large-caliber artillery on the fort, the Japanese advance slowed down at this time.
They had to crawl on their knees, observe the situation ahead, and cover the wrong advance.
During this period of time, the soldiers of the Fourth Army have completed repairs on their positions and have all entered their respective defensive positions.
Luo Xinghe lit a cigarette and looked at the situation of the Japanese army from the observation hole next to the tunnel.
Zhang Shugen next to him said: "Master, you are smoking much more fiercely now than before."
Hearing this, Luo Xinghe smiled and said, "When this battle is over, I will quit smoking."
Having said this, he said: "Speaking of which, I learned this bad habit from Lao Liu. If it hadn't been for him, I might never have been exposed to cigarettes in my life."
As he spoke, he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, remembering the various ways Liu Fudong had used to induce him to smoke.
Luo Xinghe repeatedly refused, but Liu Fudong failed.
But later, when he was stationed at Shanhaiguan and helping the main force of the Fourth Army in North China to resist the movement of more than 100,000 Japanese Kwantung Army troops southward, he was always prone to sleepiness because of his day and night work.
So, without Liu Fudong¡¯s temptation, he found a box of cigarettes and started smoking.
At the beginning, he just wanted to refresh himself by smoking so that he would not feel sleepy.
However, the memory of the first time was not a good one. The choking smell and the burning feeling in the throat are still fresh in Luo Xinghe¡¯s memory.
It is precisely this uncomfortable feeling that can relieve his sleepiness to the greatest extent.
Relying on those boxes of cigarettes, Luo Xinghe survived the most difficult nights in the dimly lit headquarters.
Some time after that, he tried to quit smoking, but failed.
At this time, his feet were already full of cigarette butts.
Every time he had a meeting or was thinking about a problem, he would subconsciously pick up a cigarette and smoke while thinking.
"I see, it's difficult!"
Zhang Shugen said with a smile, as if he was very doubtful about Luo Xinghe's willpower.
Luo Xinghe sneered, looked at the half-smoked cigarette, and said, "Let's see, I will definitely quit by then."
After saying that, he once again turned his attention to the Japanese formation.
Finally, Luo Xinghe asked: "How is the situation over there in Highland 4032?"
Zhang Shugen on the side said: "There are also a lot of little Japs attacking on their side, and according to their reports, the Japs have also arranged attacking troops on our flanks. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japs must be We plan to pass between our two highlands, or even take a detour to our side and rear to launch an attack."
"snort!!"
Hearing that the little devil planned to pass between the two highlands and reach directly behind them, Luo Xinghe couldn't help but let out a contemptuous snort.
"They also have to ask if the machine guns and artillery we deployed on the flanks are okay."
With that said, the Japanese troops on the front had already rushed out of the bombardment range of the Krupp Fort and began to fire mortar shells and heavy machine gun bullets at their position to suppress their firepower on the position.
When the soldiers of the Fourth Army stationed on the position saw the Japanese heavy machine guns roaring, they all squatted down and hid under the?In the imperial fortifications.
They were not in a hurry to shoot or even conduct any form of attack on the Japanese troops.
Only some commanders looked at the situation of the Japanese troops in front of them through the observation holes left on the position.
Without orders from superiors, all the soldiers were waiting quietly, adjusting their breathing.
Some new recruits, looking at the veterans with calm auras and expressionless faces around them, always want to say something to relieve the tension in their hearts at this time.
However, the veterans seemed to be busy with their own things, making them really embarrassed to speak.
After all, at this time, when you speak, it seems that you are a little scared.
No one of them is willing to admit that they are nervous at this time, let alone the fear in their hearts at this time.
"Don't look, you can't see the trick anymore, recruit, just remember this sentence in a moment, when you shoot the damn guy, stick your whole head out, for fear that the kid's sniper won't be able to hit you. .¡±
Finally, a veteran coughed and said.
The recruit suddenly looked at him gratefully and nodded to the veteran.
At this moment, a mortar shell exploded not far from them.
That Japanese mortar shell happened to fall into the trench, and the three Fourth Army soldiers hiding there were blown to pieces.
Someone shouted: "Damn it, health worker, carry this person down, no need to treat him, he's all f**king blown up!!"
"The others just glanced in that direction, as if everything was expected, and they didn't show too much surprise or shock.
On the other hand, some of the new soldiers in the trench tilted their heads and poked their heads, as if they wanted to see clearly what was going on over there.
"What are you looking at? They are dead people. A cannonball may hit them soon and we will be killed too! These are all normal things. If you have seen them more, you won't find it strange."
The veteran said this and lit a cigarette very calmly.
The moment he slid the match and lit the cigarette, a roar suddenly came from the broadcast system.
¡°Fire!!!¡±
Luo Xinghe¡¯s voice came from the broadcast system. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
