In this attack, the First Infantry Regiment of the Guards devoted an entire infantry brigade. One of the Japanese infantry brigade had more than 1,100 people. If so many people wanted to enter the zigzag trench at the same time, That was impossible. After all, there were still more than 700 Japanese engineers who had to withdraw from the front, and the capacity of the trenches was limited.
So just now, when Shi Changqing's heavy machine gun position started firing, only half of the Japs entered the trenches, about five or six hundred people. The remaining half of the Japs were still waiting on the attack position, waiting for the engineers digging the trenches to come down. Then as the second echelon of the attack, enter the trenches.
Then at this moment, a sudden blow fell from the sky.
The enemy's attack position was a depression, hidden under the horizon, so it blocked the line of sight from the trenches ahead. In addition, the sound of gunfire was loud on the battlefield, so the more than 500 little Japs waiting in the attack position did not Realizing that something was wrong, everyone still sat quietly, waiting for the order to be given before moving forward.
In fact, at this time, more than 500 Japanese soldiers who had entered the trenches, and more than 700 Japanese engineers who had not had time to withdraw from the front, were lying on the ground with their buttocks sticking out, waiting to be slaughtered like lambs!
Endless barrages fell from the sky, like dripping rain that stretched endlessly, falling on the Japanese soldiers in the trenches, and what was splashed was not water, but blood.
Then, it took a full five minutes for the Japanese soldier, who was smart and lucky enough not to die, to finally react.
Baga, the barrage that killed people did not come from the bunker in front at all, but from the sky, from the sky! Although, these Japs couldn't figure it out at all. How come it was raining steel bullets so easily in broad daylight? But this does not prevent them from understanding the most basic fact. Faced with the rain of steel bullets falling from the sky, lying down is waiting for death. The only way to survive is to run quickly and evacuate this hellish place!
So, the first Japanese jumped up, turned around and ran back.
Then, the second Japanese jumped up, turned around and ran back.
Then, more and more Japs reacted, turned around and ran back. At first, there was no problem, because by this time, more than 500 Japs infantrymen and more than 700 Japs engineers had entered the trenches. Almost all of them were killed by Shi Changqing's heavy machine gun position, and only a small number of people still had the chance to retreat.
However, when these Japanese soldiers escaped to the exit of the trench, which was the connection between the trench and the attack position, a problem immediately arose, because there were only four connections between the trench and the attack position, and only eight people could enter and exit at the same time. The limit was to squeeze in sixteen people at most, but there were hundreds of Japanese who escaped from the front trenches!
As a result, these Japs huddled together at the exit of the trench. This scene immediately alerted more than 500 Japs waiting in the attack position. These Japs who had not had time to enter the trenches all looked at them with confused expressions. Looking at the companions who are huddled together at the exit of the trench, what is going on? What happened
The next moment, endless barrage screamed from the sky, and Shi Changqing's heavy machine gun position began to extend its shooting!
Why extend the shot? Xu Rui had long known that the Japs would not be able to withstand the rain of bullets from the heavy machine gun positions and would definitely turn around and flee. Therefore, he had already set up the heavy machine gun positions to shoot at Zhu Yuan. Once he found out that the Japs were fleeing If there are any signs, the extended shooting will start in time.
When the escaping Japs huddled together at the exit of the trench, the endless barrage fired from the heavy machine gun position finally flew over the Japs' attack position after six or seven seconds of flight, and then carried with them the roaring barrage. The screams fell like dense rain, and blood splashed among the devils.
"Baga, what's going on?" Seeing his companions being shot and falling to the ground, a kid raised his head blankly. Then, a bullet spun at high speed and penetrated into his middle almost instantly. In an instant, the little devil's face burst out from its center, like a blooming flower!
"Mom, Mom, I don't want to die!" A little devil who had been shot several times felt the fear of death. Because his legs had been seriously injured, he could no longer stand up, but with the support of his strong faith, he still He put his hands on the ground and crawled forward desperately, trying to avoid this terrifying barrage.
However, all this is in vain.
The poor little devil had crawled forward less than half a meter when another dense rain of bullets fell from the sky. One of the bullets shot directly into the back of his neck and penetrated his brainstem in one go. The little devil hummed. He didn't even make a sound, he just kicked his legs and he was dead, and his soul returned to Japan Island.
The other kid reacted a little faster, jumped up and ran, but unfortunately, after running only two steps, a dense rain of bullets fell from the sky, shooting him to the ground in one go. The other kid next to him looked like He was his friend and tried to pull him up, but another wave of bullets rained down and nailed him to the ground.
Scenes like this were repeated throughout the entire attack position.
This terrifying hail of bullets came and disappeared quickly.
In less than fifteen minutes, the seemingly endless rain of bullets suddenly stopped.
The entire battlefield suddenly turned from extremely noisy to extremely quiet, which made people feel unreal. However, the continuous screams and wails ruthlessly reminded all the devils that this is true. God just said It was indeed a terrible rain of steel bullets that took away the lives of countless companions!

At this moment, on the observation post on the top of Fortress Mountain.
"What a pity." Xu Rui put down the telescope and sighed slightly.
"What a pity?" Wang Husheng asked blankly, "Old Xu, what are you pitying for?"
Xu Rui shook his head and didn't say much. He was pity that the Songhu Independence Group, or Shanghai at this time, had no industrial base after all. If Shanghai could have one-tenth or even one percent of the industrial base of Germany during World War I, With just the basics, he can make this rain of steel bullets last for a whole day!
If this were to happen, none of the Japanese who had already entered the zigzag trenches and were still in the attack position would have no chance of surviving.
Unfortunately, Shanghai does not have such a strong industrial base.
Therefore, Xu Rui cannot let this rain of steel bullets last all day!
In fact, making this rain of steel bullets last for nearly half an hour is already Xu Rui's limit!
Fortunately, under the attack of this half-hour rain of steel bullets, even if they cannot kill all the Japs, they can at least kill more than half of them. As for the remaining half, it can only be a sign of their bad luck. , not to mention that for the Guards Division, this may not be a good thing, because the wounded consume far more resources than ordinary infantry!
The more wounded there are, the faster the enemy's war infiltration will weaken! The Songhu Independent Group has a greater chance of winning!
With a sigh, Xu Rui turned to Digua again and said, "Digua, order the heavy machine gun positions to be moved immediately!"
The rain of bullets has been covered. The Japs will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss. As long as the commander of the Japs has a little bit of brain, he can guess what is going on. Next, he will definitely dispatch aviation Scouts, search the terrain around Fortress Mountain, and then they will inevitably find heavy machine gun positions.
Therefore, the heavy machine gun positions must be moved as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the bombers of the Little Devil arrive, it will be too late to retreat. The aviation force of the Little Devil is really not a vegetarian. , Xu Rui will not imitate those greedy idiots and do stupid things like losing big for small things.
"Yes!" Digua agreed and turned around.

Almost at the same time, Konoe Shingen also walked into the attack position surrounded by Sanjo Kyosuke and several captains.
Konoe Shingen's adjutant also tried to stop him, standing in front of him and saying: "Your Majesty Colonel, the danger here has not been eliminated yet, you cannot enter the attack position!"
"Bagagaru, get out of here!" Konoe Shingen pushed the adjutant away and said with a livid face, "Besides, the China Army's bullet rain coverage also comes at a cost. They will never pay for just a few seconds. If we have a target, let us cover our attack position with a hail of bullets!"
"On the contrary, I hope that the China Army will be covered with another wave of bullets!" Sanjo Kyosuke said, "In this way, our aviation reconnaissance troops can easily find them, and then easily eliminate them!"
Almost immediately after reacting, Konoe Shingen contacted the aviation force.
At this moment, several reconnaissance planes of the Third Flying Regiment had taken off from the nearest Kunshan Airport and were rushing towards Wusong Fort. Along with the reconnaissance planes, there was also a bomber squadron. If Songhu on the opposite side was independent, If the regiment dares to be covered by another wave of bullets, they will definitely not be able to escape the aviation search and bombing.
Therefore, Sanjo Kyosuke really hopes that the Songhu Independent Regiment will rain down another wave of bullets.
Unfortunately, the Songhu Independent Group did not respond at all, and the sky was still silent!
Konoe Shingen pushed the adjutant away and walked into the position. Looking around, there were only corpses in his field of vision. The blood flowing from the officers and soldiers of the second regiment of the Guards Infantry almost turned the ground of the attack position red. When he saw this scene, a word immediately popped into his mind: die together!
Baga Yalu, we are sleeping together in death, this is really like sleeping together in death!
But this is not the most tragic. There are even more tragic scenes waiting for Konoe Shingen and Sanjo Kyosuke. When these two little devils walked to the interface between the attack position and the trench, the expressions on their faces became even darker. Here is It can no longer be described as a pile of dead bodies, but can only be described as a mountain of corpses!
