Ye Anran nodded slightly, raised his telescope and looked at the bridge.
On the left and right sides of the bridge, defensive positions were set up at short distances. The positions were composed of sandbags, stones, and barbed wire.
There are five heavy machine guns on each position.
Such a powerful firepower network would be difficult for even well-equipped Japs to break through.
The reason why the Northeast Army has weapons and ammunition is because the ordnance station in Hecheng used to be Marshal Zhang's property.
However, the last time they fought against the Japanese, they adopted the same firepower deployment.
"You can defend against infantry, but you can't defend against Japanese artillery!"
"Chief of Staff Xie, I suggest that the infantry on the bridge leave their rifles and military caps behind. After properly camouflaging their positions, use the fortifications as cover, crawl back to the end of the bridge, and form a new machine gun position in a line! "
"In addition, artillery brigade observers have come for close reconnaissance and paid close attention to the Japanese artillery positions. Our artillery troops have established artillery defenses and artillery positions on both sides of the river bridge!"
Ye Anran gave a lot of suggestions in succession.
Afraid that Xie Ke might feel like he was being overshadowed, Ye An then added, "Chief of Staff, it's okay to keep things as they are."
Xie Ke was very angry. He had long known that Ye Anran was a powerful character.
But now after listening to his thoughts, Xie Ke pointed at Ye Anran with his index finger and said jokingly: "You kid, you really hide everything!"
On the side, Ma Jinshan's face showed an imperceptible smile.
This brother is worthy of becoming a sworn sworn brother!
Xie Ke did not hesitate and immediately ordered the forward positions to make adjustments according to Ye Anran's requirements.
The soldiers previously deployed on the bridge left their hats and rifles behind and began to retreat in a prone position.
On both sides of the river bridge, artillery also began to build fortifications.
After all the troops were adjusted according to Ye Anran's suggestions, Xie Ke came next to Ye Anran.
"Brother Ye, you must have attended a military academy!"
"Tell me, which military school taught you such an excellent military commander?"
Ye Anran was a little confused.
You can't tell Xie Ke that he studied in the Military Command Department of the National Defense University, right? ?
After thinking for a few seconds, he said softly: "I want to say that I learned it from Sun Tzu's Art of War. Do you believe it?"
"Brother Ye, you are so funny..."
"Really, Chief of Staff, that's a classic!"
Ye Anran still wanted to argue, but as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of artillery came from the opposite position!
Boom~
Boom~
Ye Anran quickly surrounded Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke and jumped into the trench.
After a rumbling explosion, the bridge was suddenly in a mess, with thick smoke billowing!
The Japanese artillery shells almost accurately hit the three blocking defense lines on the bridge.
The sandbags on the original machine gun position, the rifles and military caps used for camouflage have long since disappeared.
Ye Anran raised his head and looked at the bridge.
Obviously, the Japanese suffered a big loss in the first battle of Jiangqiao, and now they are unwilling to suffer a second time.
This time they focused on the machine gun positions on the bridge.
Ma Jinshan looked at the shell craters on the road in the distance. Even though it was a false alarm, he still took a long breath and said, "It's so dangerous!"
Xie Ke breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Anran.
With a hint of admiration in his eyes, he clenched his hands into fists and lightly punched Ye Anran's chest.
"Thankfully you arrived in time, otherwise, I would have treated my brothers as cannon fodder!"
Ye Anran's face was dark, and the dust scattered after the explosion made his hair, face, and neck all covered in clay!
He didn't have time to flirt with Xie Ke.
Lying on the slope of the trench, he picked up his binoculars and looked for the opposite side.
The Japanese's second round of shelling advanced fifty meters and continued to bomb the bridge deck.
Half of Jiangqiao was built with Japanese money. They also relied on Jiangqiao to transport supplies, so the explosion points were not densely populated.
The people in the Northeast Army here are ready to counterattack.
boom!
When the gunfire sounded again, Ma Jinshan grabbed Ye Anran's arm and tried to pull him down the trench.
Ye Anran pressed down the trench slope with one hand, "Wait a minute!"
He looked for the artillery observer.
Search carefully for any place where artillery observers might be hidden.
On a rock on the opposite bank, a Northeastern Army artillery observer sent a signal back.
Jiang Hai, commander of the First Brigade, also saw the artillery observer at the same time. He and Ye Anran paid close attention to the signal flag in the observer's hand!
"1500 meters away, the three o'clock depression due west..."
Ye Anran read out a series of numbers according to the rhythm of waving the flag.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared in the telescope. They rushed towards the observer and shot at him!
Hold!
Ye Anran threw down the telescope, quickly removed the 98K sniper rifle from his shoulder, pulled the bolt while pressing the gun body against the stones piled in the trench, and then pulled the trigger with his finger.
boom!
Gunshots fired.
The bullet flew for 0.38 seconds and directly hit the head of the Japanese who was rushing forward!
When he went to look at the observation hand again.
The watcher's hand has fallen.
The Japanese stabbed him more than a dozen times!
Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke noticed this scene.
Jiang Hai also saw this scene.
He was just missing the last set of signals and didn't see them clearly! !
Even though he saw a Japanese soldier fall, he still couldn't calm down his anger.
Ye Anran held the gun and said loudly: "Tell the artillery! The enemy's artillery position is 1,500 meters away, in the three o'clock depression due west!!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his legs and jumped out of the trench!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Anran replaced the magazine with a new one. He bent down and jumped off the Jiangqiao with light steps.
In the spring of March outside the pass, the water level was not high. There was only a stream several meters wide under the river bridge, flowing along the ice cracks.
But at this moment.
The pure stream water turned red.
The artillery observer just now was lying on a stone not far away, bleeding from his chest. The blood flowed along the stone and into the Nen River...
Until he died, he still held the signal flag tightly in his hand!
Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke looked on in confusion.
My brother has this kind of character, he does what he says, he doesn’t even give a consultation!
Ye Anran returned to the bridge cave where he originally rescued Ma Jinhai.
This is where he was reborn, going back and forth with Lin Yixiu and Sato Shiro for a long time.
He has a deep memory of every tree here!
Ye Anran pulled the gun bolt, and several Japanese soldiers were squatting and smoking not far from the observer.
They enjoy killing people.
Everyone’s face is filled with excitement!
Ye Anran stood against the bridge base, waiting for the Northeast Army's bombardment!
At this moment, Xie Ke was holding a telescope and looking at Ye Anran, who was leaning against the bridge pillar. He immediately ordered the artillery brigade to fire according to the data just now!
boom!
boom!
The shells accurately fell into the Japanese artillery position!
The violent explosion shock wave directly blew away the Japanese on the artillery position.
Ye Anran held the gun, appeared behind the Japanese in a flash, and then pulled the trigger with his finger.
Pa~
Pa~
Pa~
…
He used the shortest time and fastest speed to shoot out all the bullets in the 98k magazine.
Every bullet penetrated the Japanese's head accurately.
Blood splattered and while the Japs fell, Ye Anran quickly loaded a new magazine!
Under the cover of the Northeast Army's artillery brigade, Ye Anran killed more than a dozen Japanese in a row.
Ma Jinshan held up the binoculars. He had no intention of watching the Japanese who were blown up by the shells. His eyes were completely focused on Ye Anran, who was walking near the Japanese.
Xie Ke, Jiang Hai, and the artillery brigade commander were all staring at Ye Anran.
With his quick movements and his ability to kill with one strike, whoever wants to be his enemy will definitely have nightmares every day!
