If you look down from above, you will definitely find that the Chinese and Japanese armies have entered a very delicate state - the offensive momentum of the Japanese forward troops has been suppressed, while their follow-up troops are trying every means to launch counter-suppression; China The army has collected all heavy machine guns, including grenade launchers.
All in all, neither side launched an all-out attack, and both kept their back to give their opponents a hard blow.
Since the Chinese army was inferior to the Japanese army in terms of firepower and military strength, they suffered a certain disadvantage to a certain extent. However, they had geographical advantages, so they regained some of their advantages to a certain extent. The two sides were locked in a stalemate.
Seeing the scene in front of him through the telescope, Ushijima Mitsuru felt a haze in his heart: You know, if the fight continues like this, there will be huge casualties. Judging from the opponent's firepower arrangement, it seems to be an ordinary center Military battalion-level troops, just such a battalion-level troops left them helpless. This is not their style.
After taking a deep breath, Ushijima Mitsuru put down the telescope and said to the staff officer beside him: "Send a few small teams to conduct secret reconnaissance on the mountain next to the China Army position. We must not expose our actions until absolutely necessary! "
"Hai!!" the staff officer beside Ushijima Mitsuru responded.
The fierce battle lasted all morning. Because Lu Shaojie's troops were indeed well-equipped and well-trained, and had geographical advantages, the Japanese attack by a brigade was not able to advance even half a step throughout the morning.
Therefore, Ushijima Mitsuru, who became angry and angry, decided to withdraw his troops first, and then dispatch artillery units to directly bombard the enemy. If they could not take it again, they would dispatch "special forces"!
So the question is, what kind of force does this so-called "special force" refer to? Of course it's their poison gas troops!
"Retreat!! Blow the trumpet immediately!!" the major who received the order from Ushijima Mitsuru shouted loudly.
Soon, as the very rhythmic trumpet sound sounded, the Japanese soldiers who had received Ushijima Mitsuru's battle order withdrew from the battlefield one after another. For them, it was all necessary to execute.
In any case, since there is no need to risk death, and it is carried out under the orders of superiors, it will not be that easy to leave if we don't withdraw.
Therefore, under Ushijima Mitsuru's order, those well-trained Japanese soldiers retreated extremely quickly. They quickly withdrew from the front line, even abandoning some of their comrades who were not dead before retreating directly. .
"Ten rounds of rapid fire!! Get ready!!"
The Japanese artillery officers were shouting, and the flag bearers were ready to cover the enemy positions on the mountain with another round of artillery fire.
Soon, the Japanese soldiers had prepared ten rounds of artillery shells. They were waiting for their commander's order before reloading the artillery shells.
"Get ready~~~release!!"
Following the order from the Japanese artillery officer, the Japanese artillerymen took action one after another. The shells pierced the sky again and hit the positions of the national army.
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
…
As the Japanese artillery shells hit, the entire mountaintop was like a pot exploding, with smoke everywhere and deafening shell explosions.
…
Lu Shaojie and others didn't even have time to think, and immediately hid in the artillery fortifications, for fear of being torn apart by this terrible bombardment!
Listening to the explosion of artillery shells outside, Lu Shaojie couldn't help but cursed in his heart: Damn the little devils, they have launched another round of shelling, they are about to launch a new climax!
On this fierce battlefield, Lu Shaojie could not tell how many men were left in his army. Weapons such as heavy machine guns and grenade launchers had long been torn out of packaging and used, and he had a great time fighting the Japanese army.
For Lu Shaojie and the others, they could only try their best to block the attack. They had to hold off the Japanese army for more than a day, and they would make the Japanese army pay huge casualties.
So, what happens to Ushijima Mitsuru?
In fact, for Ushijima Mitsuru, if for no other reason, it would take so long to get such a small mountain bag, which was indeed a bit embarrassing. But when he sent several teams to conduct reconnaissance on the nearby hills, he discovered The problem didn't seem that simple - because after his search team entered several nearby hills, they all had fierce battles with the enemy, and not many troops came back.
The soldiers who came back all said that they were suppressed by the enemy's powerful firepower. This made Ushijima Mitsuru ponder at the time: How many elite national army troops were hidden in this mountain?
However, considering that he wanted to make achievements on the south bank of the Xinqiang River, and the group of enemy forces in front of him was indeed weaker than the enemy forces in other directions, in order to ensure the military security of Jangkou Town on the north bank of the Xinqiang River, Niu Shimaman decided to open a hole in Lu Shaojie's position. At the very least, he had to find out the identity of the enemy in front of him, what was the organization of their troops, and why did they have such strong firepower?
Obviously, as a commander with rich combat experience, Ushijima Mitsuru observed through the details that the opponent was not a unit with ordinary equipment. After all, a battalion-level unit could possess grenades, so many light machine guns and weighted machine guns— - This was only achieved by the German weapon masters in Shanghai at that time, and the German weapon masters at that time did not have such a thing as a grenade.
After thinking about it, Ushijima Mitsuru felt that he had to find out!
In addition to mobilizing artillery units for bombing, Ushijima Mitsuru also called for aviation units. He felt that he must give the opponent a two-in-one tactical strike. Only in this way can he successfully open a breakthrough!
However, what Ushijima Mitsuru and others never expected was that the small artillery battery of the first guard regiment was ready and waiting for the Japanese aircraft to appear!
For these national army troops, this is what they have done after receiving orders from the commander-in-chief.
So, why did Zhang Tianhai choose to expose his strength?
Time goes back to two hours ago.
Zhang Tianhai is still drinking hot water calmly, waiting for the battle report from ahead, because according to his current observations, Lu Shaojie's battalion can last at least one day - although the Japanese army's offensive is strong, it is not completely capable. The first battalion is responsible for the troops. After all, the first battalion is also well-trained and well-equipped.
While Old God Zhang Tianhai was around, something unexpected happened...
