Under the scorching flames, the four or five little devils who ran through the traffic lane instantly turned into burning men.
The flamethrower can not only burn the enemy, but also burn out the surrounding oxygen in a short period of time. In such a narrow space, even if they are not burned to death, they will suffocate due to lack of oxygen.
The screams in the cave made the soldiers feel happy. Those little devils should die in pain like this!
"Okay, wait a few minutes before going in, and inform the group that we will enter the traffic lane immediately, and we can put pressure on the front." Long Wenwen thought for a moment and gave the order.
"Deploy firepower points around the area to guard against the Japs' counterattack. The people behind will follow up and enter the tunnel immediately!"
Long Wenzhang looked at the time. It was 8:36, half an hour later than planned. Now that the fog was gradually thinning, their natural cover was almost gone.
The soldiers behind quickly stepped forward and used the terrain to set up machine gun positions. The Japanese troops in the distance kept shouting and screaming, as if they had organized another small team to rush towards them.
Long Wenzhang counted the number of people and found that the first echelon had lost nineteen people just before the battle, which was barely acceptable. Two infantry squads were left to defend, while everyone else entered the tunnel.
I hope there won't be any problems on the east coast, he prayed in his heart.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Puff...!"
The two infantry squads in front of the cave entrance had already exchanged fire with the attacking Japanese troops, but in the face of the powerful firepower of the commandos, the Japanese could not get close for the time being.
As time passed, the temperature in the cave slowly dropped, and more soldiers climbed out of the gasoline barrels at the back. Long Wenwen decided not to wait any longer.
"We all made the road together, and I don't know anyone in the tunnel, but we must be of one mind and work together to walk up the mountain!"
Long Wenwen rolled down his rolled-up sleeves, took out a flashlight from the backpack behind him and waved it at everyone:
"This is not for you to light up. Wherever my light points when I go in later, everyone will shoot at that place! Do you hear me clearly?"
"Clear." The soldiers replied in unison.
"Walk!"
Long Wenwen put the flashlight on his waist, took a deep breath and was the first to enter the tunnel.
…
At this time, at 8:40, the flagpo headquarters was held.
"Roger!" The communication soldier carrying the wireless walkie-talkie put down the walkie-talkie, turned around and reported to Liao Mingyu:
"Captain! The commando team has just received news that they have entered the traffic road and are heading to the top of the mountain. Deputy Commander Long said that they can launch an attack from the front."
Have you finally entered? Liao Mingyu stood up suddenly: "Inform Master Yu to launch a general attack immediately, order the artillery battalion to use full firepower, conduct a covering attack on all marked shooting targets, and cover the troops crossing the river."
"The second echelon launched an attack on the Japanese first defense position, occupied the landing point and opened a breakthrough for the third battalion, allowing Chen Jize to lead the third battalion across the river immediately!"
"clear!"
"Mike, this heavy fog is about to dissipate. You can contact Colonel Hertelling and ask if their aircraft can provide support."
"I understand." Nodding, Lao Mai immediately walked towards the contact radio station.
After the order was given, the headquarters immediately became busy. Several communication soldiers continued to issue orders to various units. A full-scale attack... was about to begin!
…
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The 21 large-caliber heavy artillery pieces of the Sichuan Army were fully opened, instantly plunging Nantianmen into a mess. The shells exploded into the sky and scattered dust. The Japanese on the position hid in the tunnels and did not dare to show their heads for a moment.
On the top of the Nantianmen Mountain, the Japanese headquarters was also busy. Takeuchi Lianshan frowned and looked out through the observation hole of the tree fort.
What happened to the Chinese people on the opposite side today? The shelling has been non-stop since 8 o'clock, and now they are firing like crazy. Could it be that they can't bear it anymore?
Takeuchi smiled contemptuously, that's fine, as long as the other party dares to come, the steel fortress he has set up will be useful.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Captain...According to reports from the front line, a small Chinese force has sneaked into the secondary defense position and is currently fighting with our army." A staff officer came over and said to him.
"When did it happen?" Takeuchi asked quickly.
"15 minutes ago." the staff officer replied.
"Baga! Why are you reporting it now?" Takeuchi scolded.
"Hey, because of the Chinese shelling just now, the following didn't have time to report it. They thought they could easily deal with this small force..."
"A bunch of idiots! Increase your efforts immediately and eliminate this team that knows nothing about the sky and the earth." Takeuchi Renshan said angrily.
"Hey!"
Before the staff officer could give the order, another communications officer hurried over:
"Report to the captain, there is a Chinese army attacking on the first defense position. They have strong firepower and have occupied a section of the defense line along the river..."
"Asshole! Why didn't the enemy cross the river at the front? How did they appear on the west bank!?"
It was really a wave of unrest, and Takeuchi was almost furious. Two small Chinese troops appeared inexplicably on the west bank one after another. The officers on duty should commit suicide by caesarean section!
What surprised him even more was what was happening behind him. The observation post on the top of the mountain had discovered that a troop of thousands of people was crossing the river diagonally across the river in the direction of Jiqi Slope.
Then someone reported that the Chinese team on the second defense had actually entered their traffic lane and was attacking deep into the tunnel.
It's chaos, it's all chaos, the entire Nantianmen has turned into a mess, there are guns and gunfire everywhere, the artillery fire on the other side has begun to extend, the artillery shells are constantly bombarding the west bank position, and the Japanese army has placed 8 105 field battles on the reverse slope. It is difficult for artillery to make an effective counterattack.
Takeuchi no longer cared about the rats that had sneaked into the ground. He focused most of his energy on the frontal battlefield, because this was the top priority.
But what he didn't know was that the ultimate goal of that small force was his headquarters!
…
The procession of the Third Battalion crossing the river was not peaceful. The Japanese infantry artillery on the second and third defense lines were firing at the river surface despite enemy shells.
From time to time, several water jets shot up from the already turbulent river. A few unlucky kayaks were directly hit by artillery shells. The soldiers on them fell into the water one after another, and were mercilessly swallowed by the rushing river in an instant.
However, this did not stop the Sichuan Army's momentum. The vanguard of the third battalion and the first company led by Hong Mu had already landed, followed by Fan Xiangwu's second and third companies. Chen Jize was preparing to board the ship in the fourth company.
The 81mm mortars on the west bank were still firing a large number of smoke grenades to cover the smooth crossing of the river by the troops.
Dong Dao's second echelon has now captured a corner of the first defense position. They are very close to each other and the Japanese army was caught off guard.
The little Japanese reacted and charged at them desperately. However, in front of the second echelon with abundant automatic firepower, the little Japanese could not drive this group of people out of the position.
Dong Dao did not rush forward. After occupying a corner of the position, he immediately asked the soldiers to use trench fortifications as cover. He only needed to block the Japanese counterattack.
As soon as he turned the corner of a traffic ditch, two Japanese soldiers armed with 38 rifles rushed towards him. Dong Dao raised his hand and fired two shots without hesitation.
"Bang! Bang!"
Winchester's terrifying power at close range knocked the two little Japs flying backwards. Dong Dao bent down and took out the grenade and quickly opened the chain.
After holding it in his hand for two seconds, he looked at a place about ten meters away and threw it vigorously.
The grenade exploded the moment it hit the ground, and several Japanese who were still rushing forward were killed on the spot. Taking this opportunity, Dong Dao quickly took out bullets and loaded them into the magazine.
The few machine gun bunkers closest to them had already been cleared by bazookas. The Japanese had no choice but to send soldiers forward to charge forward in an attempt to push them out of their positions with their strength advantage.
"Bang bang bang... bang bang...!"
The machine guns behind the little devil were firing wildly, and several machine gun fire points in the second echelon were also pouring bullets.
Obviously, the high rate of fire and sustained firepower of the mg3 machine gun cannot be compared to the Type 92 of the Little Japanese, but the number of Japanese machine guns is even better.
The two sides were going back and forth, and soldiers were constantly being hit and killed by flying bullets. More than 40 soldiers in the second echelon had been killed or injured.
"Brothers! Hold on for a while, the brothers from the third battalion will be here soon!"
After loading the bullet, Dong Dao shouted and entered the battle again.
Chen Jize arranged the heavy machine gun company along the east bank of the river. The terrifying range and power of the M2 heavy machine gun were enough to shoot from the river to the other side.
Twelve units of Laoganma madly delivered firepower to the Japanese positions, forcing the enemy's follow-up troops to move forward, causing gaps in their counterattack.
"The third battalion of the Sichuan Army is here!"
While Dong Dao and the others were struggling to support themselves, reinforcements from the rear finally arrived.
Hong Mu jumped into the trench with a Garand rifle. Following him, more than two hundred soldiers from the third battalion and company rushed into the battlefield like a torrent, pushing back the charging Japs!
"Bang! Bang bang...ding!"
"Don't get entangled with them, use your firepower advantage! Occupy the favorable terrain and set up firepower points, and let me blast the son of a bitch with mortars!"
Hong Mu fired up a magazine and reloaded while shouting loudly to the soldiers that their mission was to expand the range of occupied positions, clear every fire point of the Japanese army one by one, and stabilize the position for the follow-up troops.
"Bang bang bang bang bang...! Puff...puff!"
"ah!"
"Medic!"
The Japanese army had too many light and heavy machine guns on the hillside, and the condescending shooting also caused a lot of losses to the third battalion.
However, they would soon regret exposing their firepower in advance. Three company-attached 60mm mortars had been set up, and the gunners fired at those firepower points one by one after a brief aiming.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The maximum rate of fire of the 60 small steel cannon can reach 30 rounds per minute. With the three mortars at full firepower, dozens of shells have been fired at the exposed firepower points of the Japanese army. The shells blasted them into pieces with both men and guns. fragments.
And the little devil's grenade is not a vegetarian, and the falling grenades will take away one or two Sichuan Army soldiers from time to time.
The battle was extremely fierce, and it seemed that the struggle for every inch of land would cost both sides a great price. Countless warriors spilled their blood on this battlefield.
However, with the arrival of the follow-up troops of the third battalion, and with the cooperation of more intensive firepower, it was obvious that the Japanese army could not hold on any longer.
The Japanese army was not afraid at all when fighting a defensive battle, but in a close encounter like this when someone broke into their position, their disadvantage of insufficient individual firepower gradually became apparent.
"Company Commander Hong! Our mission has been completed, and now the position is handed over to you."
Dong Dao found Hong Mu in the trench and explained the situation to him: "The second echelon has to go to Banshanshi for support, please cover us."
"Okay brothers, be careful!" Hong Mu nodded and replied loudly.
Dong Dao stopped staying, ordered his soldiers to collect ammunition, and immediately headed for Banshanshi through gasoline barrels.
At present, it seems that the balance of the war situation is tilted towards the Sichuan Legion, but... the direction of the launch line where the attack was supposed to be launched together is unusually quiet...
