While everything was busy on the mountain, the national army officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain did not give up on their preparations.
For example, Li Wanzhao, commander of the first company of the third battalion, has led his troops to crawl halfway up the mountain.
"Prepare to attack!"
Li Wanzhao was making tactical gestures. Only company and platoon-level cadres in the First Guard Regiment were qualified to learn this kind of tactical gestures.
By the way, I would like to explain why in the first guard regiment, only cadres at the company and platoon level and above are qualified to learn to use this gesture. The reason is very simple - because ordinary soldiers have a high chance of being injured and captured. Level cadres, the chance of being captured is really low. In this case, it can ensure that the combat effectiveness of the grassroots troops is not affected to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can also ensure that the confidentiality work can be carried out normally.
"receive!"
"receive!"
"receive!"
"receive!"
The four platoon commanders responded with tactical gestures.
Subsequently, on this gentle slope, the four platoons of the third battalion and the first company began to explore the mountain as a unit and prepared for battle.
You know, more than two hundred people, this is not a small number, especially since these soldiers all have guns, and they are armed and have a firepower-strengthened squad.
Oh, by the way, let’s review the firepower configuration of the enhanced firepower squad, which is three grenade launchers plus a Japanese-made light machine gun with a crooked handle, and that’s it.
If this kind of fire support were used in an ordinary national army unit, the support effect would really be insignificant, but it would be different if it were placed in the First Guard Regiment - the squad units of the First Guard Regiment were all armed with Czech light machine guns. In other words, there are thirty-six light machine guns in this company. If the firepower enhanced squad is included, there are thirty-seven light machine guns.
Thirty-seven light machine guns, plus three grenade launchers, and about 160 rifles, this firepower is quite good.
If this were not the case, how could Zhang Tianhai safely let two battalions attack a high ground? You know, with this kind of firepower configuration, regardless of the human factor, the chances of winning are extremely high.
If the quality of the personnel is similar, with such overwhelming firepower, Zhang Tianhai would dare to let a battalion attack a high ground!
Unfortunately, Zhang Tianhai didn't know exactly how many troops the Japanese army would send to station in these places. If not, Zhang Tianhai would just send a main infantry battalion and a company of the cavalry battalion to do it.
Of course, these are all things for later. Now the two battalions of the First Guard Regiment have launched an attack on Highland No. 2!
It was the Japanese army who opened fire first. After discovering that the officers and soldiers of the 1st Police Regiment were slowly approaching, a Japanese soldier opened fire first and hit a crawling National Army soldier.
"boom!!"
As a gunshot rang out on the mountain, a soldier from the Third Battalion of the First Guard Regiment was immediately shot and let out a painful cry.
Then, he immediately fired back with several shots.
Just when the Japanese soldier on the mountain shot and hid, thinking he could escape, three small grenade shells flew in the sky.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
Three explosions sounded. Not only was the Japanese soldier killed, but the Japanese soldiers around him also suffered.
The battle began. The Japanese army began to lock the positions of the Nationalist officers and soldiers and launched ferocious fire suppression. Bullets from rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns flew together, and cantaloupe grenades were also thrown down from the mountain.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
…
There were endless explosions and the sound of machine gun and rifle fire.
The machine gun batteries of the Chinese army officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain also began to show off their power. Their target was the Japanese troops on the mountain!
In addition to the machine gun battery, even the squad machine gunners also started their counterattack. For a while, the pressure on the Japanese troops on the mountain was not that great.
Chen Dashan is the squad leader of the fire support squad of the First Company of the Third Battalion. As the squad with the strongest fire support in the company, his task can be said to be very heavy.
"bump!"
There was a sound of a small artillery shell hitting the base of the grenade, and a small artillery shell immediately exploded towards the top of the mountain. Listening to the explosion and the screams coming from the opposite side, it should be the concentration of Japanese soldiers.
Listening to the explosion and the screams, Chen Dashan always felt that something was wrong, but soon, experience made him react: "No, you are attacking in the wrong direction! The one you want to attack should be Little Japan." Machine gunners! Especially heavy machine guns!”
"Yes, squad leader!" the grenade throwers nearby responded.
As a result, the fire support squad quickly moved from attacking ordinary Japanese soldiers to attacking Japanese machine gun positions.
For a while, the fight was very lively.
…
The battle to the west had already begun, which naturally diverted some of the Japanese army's attention. However, the Japanese army's attention to the east was always on its own position and did not dare to slack off at all.
Because their enemies are already in front of them, and they will rush up soon!
Different from the passive situation on the western battlefield, since the battle of the third battalion started first, the Japanese army's attention was distracted to a certain extent. Even the first shot was fired by the enemy who entered the shooting point first.
The shooter was an ordinary soldier from the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Guard Regiment. The direction he aimed was really the Japanese heavy machine gun position.
"boom!!"
A gunshot rang out, and the heavy machine gunner at the Japanese machine gun position fell down.
At this time, the Japanese army realized that their enemy had already reached them.
As a result, these Japanese soldiers with certain combat experience immediately entered their posts to fight back.
But the opportunity was lost, their enemies had already occupied a favorable position and launched fire suppression against them!
It should be noted that as the ancients said, if you lose one step, you will lose every step.
This sentence makes sense. For example, when the machine gunners of the Chinese army occupied a favorable position, they immediately aimed their guns at the top of the mountain. When the Japanese army raised their heads, they could only be suppressed by oncoming fire. !
"Fire Alert! Fire Alert!!"
The junior officers of the Japanese army were shouting, fearing that the enemy would rush up and engage in close combat with them.
However, it was already too late. The swarming army officers and soldiers were approaching them step by step.
At this point, except for the more powerful cantaloupe grenade, other weapons seemed to have little effect.
Of course, everything is just a semblance. For example, the Japanese army's marksmanship is very accurate, and many national soldiers who launched the charge have been shot down.
Seeing this situation, how could Cheng Jifeng let it go? You know, although he looks like a scholar, his character must be strong. Otherwise, how could he give up literature and pursue martial arts?
You must know that a scholar who can have such courage is, strictly speaking, an outstanding person among scholars.
At least he dares to do something, right? Furthermore, the scholars of this era, those who can afford to go to school and continue to read, are at least not stupid.
Of course, IQ and EQ are two different things, but at least Cheng Jifeng's IQ is definitely online.
So, Cheng Jifeng gave an order: "Second Company, Third Company! Get into battle immediately! Fuck little Japan!"
