"Zawada! Cover from the west, pay attention to the shooting port on the top of the tree fort!"
"Uehara, the machine gun is set up here, Hideo, hurry up!"
…
Squad leader Zhong Gu was directing his soldiers to rush towards the tree fort. In addition to his squad, there were other comrades from the squadron around him. Nearly 200 people lined up in a skirmish line and attacked Long Wenwen and the others like a wave.
Hideo crossed the ditch with a 38-inch rifle. He secretly swore that he would kill a few Chinese people today to avenge his brother and his dead comrades!
We are now 100 meters away from the tree fort, and another squadron is ready to follow up. However, most of the Japanese soldiers are not sure, because the tree fort has not yet opened fire, like a bird with a bloody mouth. The monster lay quietly on the spot.
"Spread out, pay attention to the distance of the skirmisher line, Zetian, your soldiers should not leave the team."
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
Before Nakatani Masaru finished speaking, countless machine gun muzzles opened fire on the front of the tree fort, and dense bullets were fired at them. The fastest rushing Sawada detachment was immediately covered with bullets, and eight or nine soldiers were shot in an instant. After falling down, squad leader Zetian's body was also not human-like.
"Spread out! Rush to the trench in front!"
Zhongtani shouted loudly, and the remaining soldiers of the team rushed forward despite the intensive firepower. Japanese soldiers were constantly hit by bullets along the way, and the nearby team also suffered the same blow.
There is an open area of more than 200 meters between the three defenses and the tree fort. Takeuchi cut down all the trees here. There is no blind spot for shooting on the bare mountain. This was originally a "shooting range" prepared for the Chinese people, but unexpectedly Our own people enjoy it first.
"Boo...hoo...boo..."
"Bang bang...puff puff puff puff!"
The bullets hit the tree fort with a hissing sound, and the Japanese light and heavy machine guns kept firing in an attempt to suppress the enemy. However, in front of this complete defense fortification, it was difficult for the Japanese firepower to cause damage to the commandos.
Zhong Gu was leaning in the trench and breathing heavily. After a brief exchange of fire, a team of more than 50 people was able to rush to less than half of the middle trench.
Hideo also led people to jump into the trench and counted the number of people. There were only 6 people left in his class.
"Is there anyone else?" Zhong Gu asked hurriedly.
"Squad leader, both Sawada and Uehara died in the battle, and the entire squad is still alive here." Hideo replied hurriedly.
"Hideo! Keep charging forward with the soldiers!" Nakatani roared viciously.
Although the attacking squadron suffered heavy losses, soldiers continued to attack from behind. The momentum of the charge could not be interrupted. Only if they could get close to the tree fort would they have a chance.
"But... Captain, let's hold our position here and wait for backup to arrive before charging." Hideo hesitated. He didn't agree with this kind of mindless charge, especially in the face of the enemy's unreasonable firepower.
"Baga! The warriors of the empire are fearless, you immediately..."
"boom!"
Nakatani's position was suddenly hit by artillery fire, and a shell hit directly in front of him. Hideo quickly covered his head and shrank to the ground, and the sand and soil from the explosion splashed all over him.
Although the 37mm artillery shells are not very powerful and highly penetrable, the soil piles on the trenches are not enough to withstand the impact of the artillery shells.
Zhong Guzheng was directly blown into two halves. Only half of his body with one arm was left in place, while the other half was thrown somewhere by the explosion.
Hideo's eyes widened and he quickly revealed his head to observe.
Over at the tree fort, the Chinese actually pushed a Type 94 37mm rapid-fire cannon to the door and fired wildly at the Japanese soldiers hiding in the trench.
As a direct-aimed anti-tank gun, the Type 94 has a relatively high rate of fire, and is very useful for hitting infantry and machine gun firepower points hiding behind bunkers.
"Boom! Boom!..."
Artillery shells kept hitting near the trench, but as more and more Japanese soldiers rushed up, the squadron leader's whistle sounded, which was the order to charge!
"Kill!"
"ah!"
Hideo tightened the rifle in his hand, roared and rushed out with his companions. Countless Japanese shouted and jumped out of the trench, charging towards the tree fort again.
"Whoosh...whoosh"
"Puff...ah!"
The road to charge was extremely difficult, with dense bullets constantly spraying out from the shooting ports. Japanese soldiers fell down in patches like being cut wheat, and corpses were left on the road leading to the tree fort.
Hideo kept his head down and turned around, using flexible tactical moves to avoid bullets while running forward. As an experienced veteran, he knew that stopping and shooting now would have no effect at all. Only by keeping close to the enemy would he have a chance to fight back.
"Puff puff……"
A string of bullets fired at the Japanese soldiers in front of them were beaten into a bloody mist. Hideo was so frightened that he threw himself into the tunnel next to him with all his strength. However, most of the soldiers following him had no time to dodge and were shot to death one after another. .
"Huh...huh!"
Hideo leaned in the pit and gasped for breath. Only a young soldier was left beside him, looking at him in horror.
"Hideo-kun, what should we do?"
"Cheudomade! Wait...wait for the people behind to catch up before rushing forward." Hideo said in shock. The rest of the team didn't know, but they were the only ones in his class who were still alive.
Captain Hattori Jiro put two squadrons on the battlefield, but the soldiers were suppressed by the enemy's firepower. So far, they have not even penetrated 50 meters.
The squadron in front was almost exhausted, and the soldiers who followed were also fighting very hard. The team's casualties continued to increase. Just when he was considering whether to press the last squadron up, a sharp sound suddenly came from the sky. Whistling sound.
"Artillery attack! Stop the attack and retreat to defend against the artillery fire!"
Hattori's shouting was not as fast as the cannonballs. The entire battlefield in front of the tree fort was covered with bullet impact points, and the cannonballs whizzed down like raindrops. The sudden shelling brought a disaster to the attacking Japanese troops!
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"Ah! Damn Chinese! Ah...my hand..."
A Japanese soldier slumped down on the ground holding his severed arm and kept cursing. Blood was still spurting out from the bloody wound. There were corpses lying on the ground next to him, and there was no one alive.
Many soldiers who were still charging forward were blasted into the air with their guns. On this bare hilltop, no matter how wide the skirmish line was, they couldn't withstand this kind of covering artillery fire.
The attacking team of several hundred people was blown to their knees, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere. The Chinese even used white phosphorus bombs. Many Japanese soldiers were burned until their bones were exposed, and screams filled the entire battlefield.
If you continue to stay here, you will be dissatisfied with your life. You no longer need to give orders from your superiors. You persisted for a symbolic moment. All the Japanese soldiers who were still alive ran back as if they were fleeing for their lives, but... less than a hundred soldiers could be withdrawn. .
At 10:35, the first wave of Japanese attacks ended in failure.
…
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the Fourth Battalion's attack has been frustrated. The tree fort... is too difficult to attack. Chinese artillery fire..." Chief of Staff Yoshino reported the frontline battle situation with difficulty.
"Needless to say, I can see it!" Takeuchi Renshan glared at Yoshino, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked furious like a wounded lion.
"Hey!"
Yoshino responded and quickly stepped back. The co-captain was in a bad mood, so it was better to say less at this time.
The current situation is really irritating. Takeuchi knows very well how perfect the defense of the tree fort is. It is all his own fault.
The machine gun ammunition stored in the tree fort has now become a weapon to kill his own soldiers, and he has nothing to do about it. Coupled with the fact that the Chinese people at the foot of the mountain were looking at him eagerly but with no clear purpose, his blood surged when he thought of this.
"Stop the attack and let the Fourth Brigade focus on containment and look for opportunities in the underground passages." After thinking for a moment, Takeuchi was ready to give up the plan to recapture the tree fort temporarily.
The Chinese's supporting artillery fire was too rapid. The attacks of squadron after squadron turned into a fueling tactic. The pressure on the frontal defense line was also very heavy. To guard against the Chinese's attack, he did not dare to send out a large number of troops to fight another one. Little tree fort.
This is really a fucking rat taking advantage of both sides of the bellows. Takeuchi was extremely aggrieved. He walked back and forth in the headquarters several times before finally making up his mind.
"Call Tengchong and ask for air tactical guidance!"
"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the division commander may not agree to this request." Yoshino was a little embarrassed, after all, the situation was no longer what it was before.
At present, the Army Air Force in Tengchong will soon start a small-scale air battle with the Air Force Task Force (Flying Tigers) stationed in China. Both sides will suffer losses, but generally speaking, one side does not have the advantage.
Coupled with the fact that there are more Chinese troops in that direction, it is hard to believe that the division commander would take the risk to support Nantianmen. After all, the regiment commander has robbed him of too much limelight during this period.
"Pah!" Takeuchi slapped Yoshino hard on the face and roared angrily:
"Baga! You have to agree even if you don't agree! If he doesn't agree, he will contact Commander Iijima and tell them that if Nantianmen is lost, Tengchong, Longling and even the entire Nujiang River will collapse, and the empire will not be able to stay in western Yunnan, China. There is an army!
"Hey!"
Yoshino, who had been slapped, didn't dare to say anything. He hurriedly resigned and went to send the report honestly.
Are you still hesitating when to come? Do you have to wait until the Chinese people plant their flags on the top of Nantianmen Mountain to know the seriousness of the matter?
After getting angry, Takeuchi sat on a stool and breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. After thinking about it, he decided to deal with the Chinese on the frontal defense line first.
After all, the top of the mountain is just a small force with a very small number. As long as the frontal defense line is not lost, those hateful rats are a lone army, and it will not be too late to deal with them when they are free.
But... the "Rat King" on the top of the mountain obviously didn't want to give him more time to breathe.
In the direction of the tree fort... the huge loudspeaker that could cover half of the Nantianmen suddenly heard a joking shout: "Hey? Takeuchi Rianshan! Can you hear it?"
