Chapter 329: Assault
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the ferocious offensive was still being launched, repulsing one rush and one rushing up, the platoon was dead, the company commander was dead, the battalion commander was dead, the battalion commander was dead, the regiment commander was dead, and a regiment that served as the forward attack was barely a company after a day of bloody fighting, let alone a battalion.

However, Matsuyama is still there, and the part above the mountainside still belongs to the Japanese army, and the fortresses that spray bullets are still killing and wounding our soldiers.
This is still a situation where our army's equipment is much better than before, there are artillery, air force, and there are anti-artillery and occasional automatic rifles, if the attacking soldiers still have Hanyang-made and no heavy firepower, this may really be able to kill and injure hundreds of thousands of our troops as the Japanese army said.
In less than a day of fighting, the casualties of our army reached more than 1,300 and more than 1,000 wounded, which is equivalent to a regiment being gone, and the rest of the troops are still attacking reinforcements, reserves, and even men have been filled.
Even we know that the possibility of success is very small, and very few people who rush forward can come back alive, but under the strict orders of the superiors and the superiors of the superiors, the soldiers have no choice, and they charge up and die at least to sacrifice for the country, and they will have to bear the shame of being killed by the overseers when they retreat!
At the front line, there were four or five machine gun forts, and the Japanese troops on the hill constantly used 75 mountain guns and 92 rifles to shoot at our army's assault troops.
Outside the fortress is a trench that extends in all directions like a spider web, and there is a Japanese soldier every other meter inside the trench, there is a light machine gun at a distance of four meters, and a heavy machine gun at a distance of ten meters.
Some soldiers were even broken in the heads by machine gun bullets as soon as they showed their heads, and some soldiers finally rushed up only to be completely broken into pieces by the Japanese machine gun fire.
"Boom"!
"Boom!"
The deafening roar tore the flesh and blood of the human body into pieces and scattered around, the entire trench, the corpses, the scattered hands and feet, the human head and even some of the intestines directly covered by the explosion, this place has become a complete hell, a hell that shatters people alive, the air is full of the stench of blood and internal organs, and some corpses are even more stinking from the flames, which makes people feel sick when they smell it.
Finally, at this time, a large number of fighters flew here, and the machine guns fired from the air to the ground, and many Japanese soldiers who were hiding in the trenches and shooting were directly broken into pieces by the fierce heavy machine guns, and at the same time, the bombers that followed closely behind smashed down napalm bombs to the ground, and the fortress in front became a sea of fire in a huge roar!
A sea of fire tens of meters high and thousands of degrees Celsius!
As soon as the plane passed, a barrage of shells whistled and flew over.
Boom, roar, in addition to roaring or roaring, the entire Songshan was trembling, and the huge shock wave was constantly hitting the human body, giving people a feeling that they would be shocked to death at any time, some soldiers had begun to bleed in their ears, and some were even blue and rolled on the ground with their stomachs and screamed!
At this moment, the reinforcements of a company behind had already caught up, but some of the soldiers who were about to catch up were still hanging a kitchen knife, and some were wearing loincloths.
"How's it up ahead?" A company commander shouted.
"Huh?"
"How's it up ahead?"
"Ahh You louder, I can't hear you! ”
"How's it up ahead?"
"Huh?"
"Is there anyone who can still hear the movement?" The company commander was impatient.
At this moment, a soldier shouted: "There shouldn't be much left of the Japanese army in front!" ”
"Order to go down, after the shelling is over, you must take this place down!"
"Yes!"
On the other side of the Nu River, Song Xilian and Wei Lihuang and other senior generals also held binoculars to observe the battle of Songshan, at this time they also had a kind of gratitude for the poor skills of the donkey, and they used all the things that could be used, the speed of advance in such a day was still so slow, the 2000 Japanese army not only blocked their onslaught, but also killed and wounded more than 2,000 soldiers, according to this posture, the casualties of the 36th Division will expand until it is completely scrapped!
"It won't work like this, if the 36th Division can't be defeated after dark, it will be withdrawn and replaced with an honorable division!" Wei Lihuang said.
"How's the perimeter?"
"Longling's offensive has entered the city, Tengchong is still stalemate, there are also a large number of Japanese fortresses inside, the two sides are still fighting hard, there is not much progress at present!" Song Xilian said.
"What about the outskirts of Matsuyama?"
"There is no movement on the periphery of Songshan at present, but I have asked Lu Hai to send an additional battalion to block the roads and trails around Songshan to prevent Japanese reinforcements!"
"You urgently dispatch a battalion to replace them and let them participate in the battle to attack the mountain!" Wei Lihuang said.
"But they are soldiers of the Sixty Army, and there are four or five senior officers in them, it can be said that they are the elite talents of the Dian Army, Long Yun also means to let them fight soy sauce, if we let them attack the mountain and cause huge casualties, it is not easy to explain, if Long Yun is angry because of this, we will not be able to explain!" Song Xilian said.
"The Sixty Army is good at mountain warfare, and I have also investigated their battalion, they are all first-class and good soldiers, wouldn't it be a waste for such troops to stay on guard on the periphery, besides, since they are here, they must follow my orders, how can there be immortals in war!" Wei Lihuang said.
"Yes!"
After Song Xilian finished speaking, he picked up the phone again and said, "Order!" ”
After a while, Lu Hai's voice came, and Song Xilian spoke: "I was ordered by the commander-in-chief to urgently dispatch you to attack Songshan and cooperate with the Honor First Division to attack!" ”
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while: "Yes!" ”
Hanging up the phone, Lu Hai frowned and said, "The commander-in-chief ordered us to quickly move closer to Songshan and cooperate with the Honorary First Division to attack the mountain!" ”
"What about the specific tasks?"
"Didn't say it!"
"What do you think?" Lu Hai asked.
"I think this matter should be discussed with the commanders, if something happens to our troops, they won't be embarrassed!" Zhao Jianying said.
Saying that, Lu Hai shook the phone again and said, "Commander, commander, I'm Lu Hai!" ”
After a while, Wan Baobang's voice came: "I am Wan Baobang, please speak!" ”
"The commander-in-chief ordered our battalion to participate in the plan to attack Songshan, and I specially asked you for instructions!"
Wan Baobang frowned, feeling that he was a little unable to make decisions in this matter, and then said: "You wait a while, I want to ask Chairman Long for this matter!" ”
"Yes"!
Wan Baobang followed General Long Yun's phone dial channel: "Chairman Long, I, Wei Lihuang, ordered our army to send a special battalion to attack the mountain, and I specially asked you for instructions, whether you agree!" ”
Long Yun frowned and said: "Agreed, but tell Lu Hai to be clever, the officers in his hands can form a division, don't cause huge casualties!" ”
"Yes!"
Hanging up the phone, Wan Baobang said: "Chairman Long has agreed, but let you be smart, the people in your hands are the elite of our 60th Army, pay attention to casualties!" ”
"Yes!"
"Stay safe!"
"Commander Xie cares!"
Putting down the phone, Lu Hai ordered: "The order goes down, the special battalion is quickly closed, and it will set off in two hours!" ”
"Yes!"
The troops quickly retracted, Lu Hai also took the map and discussed with Zhao Jianying, Lu Hai drew on the map with his hand and said: "We sneaked in from here last time, the whole Songshan is a fortress, but they are interconnected, so I decided to fight from here, as long as we capture a position, we go straight into their tunnels, don't they like to shoot us on the ground, then we also touch in a battalion of strength is enough for them!" ”
"But once we get in, it's hard to get in place, we don't know the situation inside at all, and we can't get out if there is an accident!"
"After this period of attrition, the Japanese army in Songshan is at best about a brigade, and there is still a fierce offensive outside, and one of our battalions inside they want to eat us, which is delusional!" Lu Hai said with a smile.
Listening to Lu Hai's analysis, Zhao Jianying also felt that this was indeed the case, instead of fighting the machine gun fortress outside, it was better to rush in and fight, maybe there would really be a surprise.
After the plan was made, an hour and a half passed, and the troops originally sent out were also gathered back, and there was no shortage of 600 people in a battalion, so Lu Hai ordered: "Tell the brothers to eat!" ”
Although everyone didn't know why, it was indeed time to eat, and after dinner, Lu Hai led the team to the side of Songshan.
The sky gradually darkened, but the fierce battle continued, the Japanese army desperately defended, our retreat would be covered by Japanese firepower, the two sides simply continued to fight hungry, showing a stalemate.
After Lu Hai arrived at Songshan, he did not take the initiative to attack, but took the telescope and began to watch, after all, they were not in a hurry, the 36th Division had not yet withdrawn, and the Honor Division had not yet arrived, their plan must be completed in the case of a frontal assault, and they would be trapped if they rushed in, once the frontal assault stopped, it would be troublesome if they were besieged by a large Japanese army in this black tunnel!
"Hai Zhizhi, you came back with more than a dozen flamethrowers in the rear of the 36th Division"!
"Yes!"
At the same time, Lu Hai picked up the binoculars again and looked at the defense line above the two machine gun forts and said, "Li Fan, set up the artillery, once the order is given, I will knock out the machine gun positions above!" ”
"Yes!"
"Pick a few soldiers with good marksmanship and aim me at the machine gun hole, and if they open fire, I'll shoot them out, and there are two shooters inside, ready to shoot at any time!"
"Yes!"
"The rest of the people are in ambush, once the attack is launched, I want you to fight as quickly as possible, seize this high ground and build a defensive line!"
"Yes!"
