The soldiers of the Rutgers Company saw the war too simply, so they encountered unbearable suffering in the following battles, and the rocket artillery company that also underestimated the Japanese army was almost wiped out because of its own light enemy. The 114th Wing failed in the attack, and the enraged Mutaguchi Ryoya did not blame the commander of the 114th Wing in the telegram, but directly gave the order to continue the attack, while the officers of the 114th Wing knew that the division commander was already angry.

The 114th Wing made a comeback and continued its assault on Heights 01, and after losing most of its artillery support, the 14th Wing's attack became much more cautious. The endurance and obedience of the junior officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were vividly demonstrated at this moment, even if the bullets whizzed by them, even if the companions around them were shot and fell one after another, they would still advance without hesitation in the face of the bullets fired by their opponents.

The Rutgers Company, which had already received assistance, did not immediately withdraw from the 01 Heights, and the Rutgers Company occupying the 01 Heights used four light machine guns and several light mortars as the defensive core, supplemented by a large number of semi-automatic rifles, and the dense barrage of bullets like raindrops kept smashing towards the steady stream of Japanese troops. "The Japanese army really deserves to be the first army in Asia, and it can occupy half of China, which is really powerful!" Rutgers, who was standing on the 01 heights, couldn't help but admire as he watched the momentum of the Japanese army's attack.

Friendly forces detouring from the flanks provided the Rutgers Company with several light mortars and two light machine guns, doubling the Rutgers Company's defensive firepower. The light mortars on the 01 high ground can blast the flesh and blood of the Japanese troops assembled at the foot of the mountain in a very short period of time, and each salvo of the mortars will form a cone-shaped death zone, in this area, whether you are standing, squatting or lying on your stomach, you will be beaten into pieces by dense shrapnel!

The Japanese army, which was forced to disperse, had no chance of winning in the face of the long-range men of Rutgers Company, and the wedge that was easy to hit with blood and life was squeezed out little by little, and the frontal battle was about to be in a stalemate, and at this time, the Japanese army who also made a detour to the side and the independent army troops who rushed to the rescue broke out into battle.

After experiencing the baptism of offensive and defensive warfare in the five South Asian countries, the combat mode of the Independent Army has long changed from the initial tactics of large groups and dense to the current battalion and company level decentralized combat mode, and the main element that the independent army units can maintain this tactic is the output of strong firepower. The walkie-talkies of the Independence Army have long been equipped at the company and platoon level, and any unit on the front line can call the rear to provide long-range fire support through walkie-talkies when encountering a large number of enemy troops, and sometimes, the rear will even directly take the initiative to provide fire support.

On the Japanese side, once a state of confrontation with the opponent is formed, the Japanese army will definitely not use point-and-face assault tactics like the independent army. The Japanese army usually directly used the so-called pig assault tactic for which they became famous, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers formed several attack formations and repeatedly attacked the enemy's defensive line. This tactic of the Japanese army seems to be a bit unreliable, but the actual effect is not bad, in the Chinese battlefield, once the Japanese army uses the main map tactics, there is no enemy defense line that cannot be breached.

The battle that took place on the flank of Heights 01 came a little suddenly, and the independent army troops that encountered the Japanese army were only a company-sized unit, while the Japanese troops who attacked them were an infantry brigade, and the two sides were already superior and inferior in numbers. The Japanese officer who commanded the forward squad vigorously waved the command knife in his hand and led his soldiers to pounce on the enemy troops hundreds of meters away, and behind them, more than 700 Japanese soldiers had already rushed forward, believing that the enemy troops on the opposite side could not stop their onslaught at all.

Japanese soldiers with rifles swept through the field like a storm, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer as the ground shook and the Japanese soldiers shouted. At the last 200 meters, the Japanese soldiers, who had already equipped their rifles with bayonets, suddenly showed no signs of panic from 200 meters away, so the last 200 meters became a road of no return for the Japanese soldiers.

No one in the Independence Army can be a sharpshooter, but in the face of the opponent's dense formation and the hundreds of automatic rifles on their side, even if their shooting accuracy is poor, they can still make up for the rate of fire of the semi-automatic rifle, because any Independence soldier with a new semi-automatic rifle can easily use out the magazine of 20 rounds in the last 200 meters. "Open fire" When the Japanese advance entered within 150 meters, the side of the independent army finally broke out into the sound of fried bean-like gunfire, and a steel storm was smashing at the Japanese soldiers, and in just a dozen seconds, the Japanese troops were knocked down by flying bullets.

Although the two sides did not engage in close combat, the final outcome of the encounter was decided, and a large group of Japanese troops was knocked out by the enemy's strong firepower before they could make contact with the opposing line. After the opponent used light mortars to block the rear of the Japanese army, the outcome of the battle was determined, and instead of completing the task of threatening the flank of the 01 heights, the Japanese brigade was severely taught a lesson by the other side.

"Boom" and "boom" were accompanied by a deafening explosion, and the front of the 01 heights was instantly covered by artillery fire. The 114th Wing's attack was forced to stop again, and if the simple casualties of the soldiers were understandable, what happened when the number of soldiers was counted after the war and a large number of soldiers were missing? This alone made the 114th Wing feel that this battle could not be fought any longer.

If the three attacks of the 114th Wing have at least severely damaged the enemy, and it is good to say that the Rutgers Company on the 01 Heights has been created, but the current situation is that the enemy troops attacked continuously by the 14th Wing do not seem to have major casualties, and the attack of the 114th Wing is completely like giving the opponent a head, and at the foot of this dirt mountain, the casualties paid by the 114th Wing are greater than the total casualties in the Philippine battlefield before.

The order to continue the offensive was given by the division commander himself, and even though the 114th Wing had already suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers of the 14th Wing still obeyed the order and prepared to attack again in the whole group under the organization of a junior officer. But at this moment, a slightly long sound came from the air, and as long as people looked up, they could even see the fighter plane that had lifted the nose and the black dots falling in the sky. "Hidden, there are enemy planes." Compared with the 75-caliber guns commonly used in Japanese troops, these black dots falling from mid-air looked very slow, but in fact, when the Japanese soldiers on the open ground were ready to dodge, it seemed that these black dots falling from the belly of the aircraft had fallen rapidly to the ground dozens of meters to the ground and suddenly exploded.

The ground crew at Kuala Lumpur Airport prepared a new type of air-explosive bomb developed by the weapons laboratory for the two bombers, which made the bomb explode in the air through the delay of the control fuse, and was loved by the flight units of the Independence Army as soon as it was used. This kind of early "air bombing" shell shaped like an oil drum was naturally not as powerful as the VT fuze bomb of later generations, but it still caused great damage to the Japanese army, especially like the dense formation of the 114th Wing at this moment.

Due to the restrictions of the terrain in front of the 01 heights, the front of the 114th Wing's attack was relatively narrow, and within about 600 meters of approaching the position, the attack surface was rapidly narrowed. However, the pilot of the bomber locked the strike area here, and dozens of air explosive bombs exploded in the air from a few meters to more than ten meters above the ground, and countless steel balls fell from the sky like raindrops.

These scattered balls form an oval kill zone on the ground, where hundreds of balls are pierced every second, whether you are standing or hiding. Standing on a high vantage point, the barrage formed by the air explosive bombs raged back and forth in the attack area like a rolling flame storm, and the Japanese troops were swept down in pieces and turned into a pile of minced meat under the fierce blow. The effect of the blow was like that of the air explosion bomb of the sub-mother bomb in later generations, which caused great casualties to the 114th Wing, and after the stormy projectile strike, directly in front of the 01 heights, the starting position of the 114th Wing was full of wails and rivers of blood.

Looking at the hellish starting position in front of them, the officers of the 114th Wing were dripping blood in their hearts, the other side only dispatched two bombers to carry out a simple bomb attack, which had already caused heavy casualties to the 114th Wing, what kind of troops were they facing? Why does the other side have a weapon with such a lethal power? With doubts and a little panic, the 114th Wing turned to the division for help, requesting a suspension of the attack and requesting the division to give tactical guidance to the 114th Wing.

Requesting tactical guidance, in the Japanese army, it is generally the time when the life and death of the troops or the large-scale death of the commander is at the time, and the 114th Wing at this time does not seem to meet this regulation, so after receiving a telegram from the 114th Wing, the division commander Mutaguchi Lian also immediately showed a face full of shock and surprise. What is the reason why the 114th Wing, which has always been arrogant, will take the initiative to ask for tactical guidance from the division? With deep doubts, Mutaguchi not only sent officers to the 114th Wing, but also ordered the artillery wing belonging to the 18th Division to immediately rush to the location of the 114th Wing.

Knowing that the division had mobilized an artillery wing to rush to help, the 114th Wing immediately stopped the attack on the 01 Heights, and after shrinking its forces as much as possible, the 114th Wing was not idle, but drew out some veterans. The 114th Wing used these veterans to organize more than a dozen small detachments to carry out infiltration reconnaissance on the flanks and rear of the 01 Heights, in an effort to find out where the enemy's long-range fire positions were before the artillery wing arrived.
