"Bage Yalu! Why are the enemy troops on the top of the mountain so fierce? Are they all immortals who cannot be killed?" Major Tengyuan was extremely angry.
The enemies he had encountered before, even the elite main force of the national army, were not so difficult to defeat. With the strength of his brigade, he dared to challenge several divisions on the opposite side. Unexpectedly, I suffered a big loss under this hill today.
In a short period of time, the Japs had already paid the price of dozens of casualties. There has never been such a situation before in a head-on confrontation with the strength of a division.
"Bombard the top of the mountain with infantry artillery again and knock down the Chinese army's firepower!" Teng Yuan wanted to attack with all his strength and capture the stronghold on the top of the mountain. But reason told him that it was not worth wasting a lot of troops and time in this place.
As long as his artillery once again covered the top of the mountain, he could suppress the enemy's fire and his troops could move through quickly.
The Japanese were setting up cannons, but Wen San's expression was extremely ugly. Although he knew the Japanese's plan, he did not dare to let people retreat to the hiding cave below again.
The reason is simple. Once they run away, not only will the top of the mountain be easily captured by the Japanese, but the main force of Tengyuan's brigade below will also be able to easily cross the border.
"Hurry up and find a suitable bunker, the Japanese are going to bombard us again." Wen San could only tell everyone the bad news. In the current situation, it is not easy to survive the enemy's fire.
The grenade in his hand had a limited range and could not reach the Japanese infantry artillery. The only good thing is that it's dark now, and it's not very clear from a long distance. The accuracy of the Japanese bombardment can't be as accurate as before.
Everyone looked at Wen San in surprise, wondering how he judged. But now they don't have time to think too much, they just follow the platoon leader's orders. Many successful experiences tell everyone that the platoon leader's judgment is very accurate.
The soldiers all started to move. They were already familiar with the terrain on the top of the mountain, and there were few places where they could completely avoid Japanese artillery fire. You can only find a relatively safe place to hide.
As soon as they moved, the firepower suddenly weakened, and the Japanese at the foot of the mountain began to move again.
Wen San felt very depressed. He could clearly hear the enemy's combat intentions, but he had no good way to deal with it. The soldiers can only fight hard against the enemy's fire and find ways to defend the position in front of them.
Calculating the time, they only spent two hours guarding the hill, which was only half of the time set by the battalion commander. But the hardest battle has just begun.
"With just this few manpower, can we really withstand the enemy's repeated attacks?"
For the first time, Wen San had doubts in his heart. If it hadn't been for the sneak attack by the Japanese, their ammunition would have been exhausted long ago.
Such a battle is too cruel, and we can only fight with the lives of the soldiers!
Perhaps after receiving the news from Teng Yuan, the Japanese attacking at the foot of the mountain slowed down, but the screaming shells sounded again, flying towards the top of the mountain.
For a time, there were constant explosions on the top of the mountain, and several soldiers were buried in the floating soil, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Fortunately, these people are veterans who have experienced life and death on the battlefield many times. They basically hide in the craters, leaning against the walls of the craters as much as possible and shrinking their bodies to reduce the probability of being hit by shrapnel.
Fortunately, night was still a big help to Wen San and others, as the enemy's shells were not very accurate. Some of them even landed on the mountainside, but the explosion prevented Matsui and others' team from rushing up the mountain.
In a night battle, the Japs can exert much less strength. This is also the main reason why the main force of the national army chooses to retreat in the evening.
Despite this, there were new casualties on Wen San's side. Liu Bao, the soldier who was stabbed in the thigh before, was unable to find a bunker in time due to his inconvenience and had to insist on hiding in the trench. As a result, a shell fell not far away, and the flying shrapnel hit his chest.
When Wen San carefully touched it and took a look, he found that he had returned to his hometown. But his wide eyes were still staring in the direction down the mountain, and his hands were still holding the rifle tightly.
Tears welled up in Wen San's eyes. This was the first brother he had sacrificed. War is so cruel, and the Japanese rely on their superior equipment to suppress them and fight. No one is sure how many of the remaining soldiers can survive in this small mountain.
"Brother Liu Bao, you can go ahead and explore the way with peace of mind. We will come to you after we have eliminated the Japs at the foot of the mountain." Another soldier also came over. Seeing that his comrade was dead, he showed grief and anger on his face.
"Don't be discouraged, we have killed nearly a hundred Japs! Even if we kill them all, we have made enough money! Now every Japs we kill is earned." Wen San quickly encouraged the soldiers.
The more times like this, the more important it is to maintain a strong momentum, turn sadness into anger, and vent it all on the Japanese.
The Japs' artillery fire became sparse, and flares slowly rose in the distance, urging the Japs down the mountain to attack again. At the same time, the Japanese army began to move again, trying to quickly pass through the fire range controlled by the top of the mountain.
On Wen San's side, all the soldiers crawled out of the floating soil. The number of people who can continue to fight has been reduced to 16, and the remaining three are trying to save themselves because of serious injuries.
Arrange two people to take the wounded down and move all the weapons and ammunition into the trench.
The time for the decisive battle is coming!
Wen San still had 12 rounds of artillery shells in his hand, and the dark shadows at the foot of the mountain were moving forward like ghosts. You didn't need to think twice to know that the Japanese army was coming up again.
Wen San didn't care whether he could fire accurately or not, and fired three more shells based on his feeling. It could be seen from the flames of the explosion that two shells landed crookedly and did not have much effect. Only one shell fell next to the Japanese and took away several vicious men.
This time Teng Yuan did not let the team stop, but accelerated forward. If the gunners on the mountain were all accurate and paid some casualties, most of his men would be able to pass.
Seeing a group of demons and demons rushing over as if they were desperate for their lives, Wen San felt a little anxious. At night when visibility is low, the power of the grenade is greatly reduced. After all, he is just a novice, and it is reasonable for him to be inaccurate when his sight is insufficient.
"All three machine guns opened fire, cross fire, and seal the route below with all our strength!" Wen San immediately ordered when he saw the soldiers taking down the light machine gun placed below.
They had already decided on the position of the machine gun. As long as they fired, they would threaten the route below. The fiery red bullet chain can also play a certain lighting role.
At this time, the Japanese army had just reached the middle of the road below. Rows of bright red bullets swept away, like cutting wheat, knocking down a group of Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese who were still charging forward all fell to the ground and did not dare to stand up easily. The advancing team stopped again.
"Baga! Why has the Chinese army's firepower become so fierce again? How many people are there on top? Are reinforcements coming?" Teng Yuan roared. Unexpectedly, he had just bombed another round. Instead of weakening the firepower above, it was It became more intense.
