With Yuki Nagano giving the order one by one, the Japanese vanguard troops that had been prepared divided into three groups and began to charge towards the position of the second battalion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the slope on the south side of the pass, Wang Lei looked at the well-trained Japanese soldiers rushing up from the top of the mountain on one side, and Wang Lei sighed with some emotion: It is not unreasonable that the Japanese can run rampant in China in these years.

You look at these charging Japanese troops, they move quickly, the formation is very scattered, and they use the appropriate attitude to evacuate and leap forward, and at the same time they are very good at using ground objects to find cover, it is difficult for the soldiers on the mountain to find and aim at the target at the first time.

Wang Lei really doesn't know how the Japanese rushed to the mountain desperately in those movies and television in later generations, Wang Lei wants to arrest those filming directors now, you see how the Japanese army is rushing up the mountain now, although they have been rushing to the position on the top of the mountain. But if you look at the people, there are people who rush up the mountain in a straight line, and after they rush for a while, they will find suitable cover and shoot at the soldiers of the independent regiment on the mountain to cover the Japanese troops behind. If there is no proper cover, they also do not have a straight line. I didn't see it on the TV.

At the same time, the Japanese army immediately set up a machine gun position at the foot of the mountain after reaching the foot of the mountain to cover the infantry on the mountain.

It's just that Wang Lei can't figure it out is that the enemy carried out a round of artillery bombardment before the attack, although it may be because of the darkness, the accuracy is a little off, and the soldiers of the third battalion did not suffer too many casualties after a round of shelling, but they always shelled. Look at the side of the independent regiment, the enemy has almost rushed to the halfway up the mountain, the artillery on his side did not move at all, after shooting and killing a military cao who supervised the battle, Wang Lei shrank back into the trench, ran to the position of the third battalion commander, and pulled the third battalion commander who was still shooting at the devil back into the trench: "Third battalion commander, why didn't the artillery on our side react at all!" ”

"What!" The sound of gunfire in his ears made the third battalion commander not hear what Wang Lei was saying clearly for the first time!

"I say, third battalion commander! Why didn't our artillery fire! Wang Lei leaned into the ear of the third battalion commander and said loudly.

The commander of the third battalion heard what Wang Lei was saying clearly, and he said loudly: "No! The enemy is so scattered that the shells don't have much lethality at all! We can't afford to waste ammunition! ”

Wang Lei was taken aback by the words of the third battalion commander: "Is our ammunition still not enough?" "Since knowing that the Japanese might attack Ping'an County at noon today, Wang Lei has asked the arsenal to transport nearly 30,000 rounds of ammunition and 300 shells, and ordered the arsenal to start work at full capacity, and continue to manufacture ammunition and weapons to send to Ping'an County.

"Not really." The third battalion commander shook his head.

Hearing what the third battalion commander said, Wang Lei probably knew what was going on, and he slapped it on the head: "Third battalion commander, now is not the time to save ammunition, immediately let the artillery fire, the ammunition is not available as soon as the machine in my arsenal is opened, if this person is gone, there will be nothing!" If I could, I'd rather exchange a cannonball for a little devil."

"I see!" The third battalion commander nodded, and after Wang Lei said this, the third battalion commander also understood, he didn't give an order before, just because of the previous command habits. After reversing his mind, he left and ordered the messenger next to him to give the order to the artillery to start the attack.

When Wang Lei and the third battalion commander were talking, a burst of fire appeared not far behind them, and after seeing the firelight, the third battalion commander was stunned. Wang Lei saw the reaction of the third battalion commander and asked, "What's wrong over there?" ”

"That direction is our anti-aircraft artillery position!" The third battalion commander said with a frown, and then he yelled at the messenger beside him: "Xiao Li! Immediately ask what is happening in the rear positions! ”

After a while, the correspondent named Xiao Li ran back: "Battalion commander! We have been mixed in the rear of the devil squad, they have attacked our anti-aircraft artillery positions, and now several comrades have died in the positions, and the anti-aircraft guns have also been blown up! ”

"And where are they now?" The commander of the third battalion knocked the trench beside him.

"I don't know, when the comrades patrolling around us arrived, they quickly ran into the woods and disappeared." Said the communications officer.

"Damn! Inform the 1st Company to quickly withdraw from the battle and be sure to find them before they make even greater losses! The third battalion commander said with red eyes.

"Wait!" Just when the correspondent was about to inform the first company, he was stopped by Wang Lei: "Third battalion commander, I'll go to find someone!" I'm better at this than your warriors! ”

The commander of the third battalion thought for a while and nodded, and pointed to a few places: "Okay, then please, there are our artillery positions in those positions, and there are other anti-aircraft artillery positions, I'm sorry for you!" ”

When Wang Lei withdrew from his position and walked towards the attacked anti-aircraft artillery position in the rear of the battlefield, the late artillery bombardment of the independent regiment finally fell in front of the position, and the first wave of the Japanese charge was finally beaten back.

At the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army outside Shilidian, Tetsujiro Yamada looked at the position of the Eighth Route Army through the binoculars in his hand: "Is it really the Eighth Route Army opposite us?" Not the Central Army! ”

It's no wonder that Tetsujiro Yamada can't believe that Hachiro has always started attacking at a close distance in order to save ammunition. But the Eighth Route in front of them, when their soldiers were still at the foot of the mountain, began to attack, and there were light and heavy machine guns to cooperate, and then there was artillery support, which was completely like a central army.

Yuichi Nagano put down the binoculars in his hand: "That's why I said that we can't underestimate the eight roads in front of us!" ”

For the first wave of charges to be beaten back, Nagano Yuichi did not react at all, the first wave of charges were mainly tentative attacks, and were beaten back by the independent regiment, which was completely expected by Nagano Yuichi. From the battle just now, he had already obtained several useful information: first, there were light and heavy machine guns and mines in the middle lane, that is, on the way to enter Shilidian, and the losses were too great if they wanted to rush through under enemy fire; secondly, there were a large number of light and heavy machine guns of the enemy on the slopes of the hills on the east and west sides, and there were also snipers, and some of the soldiers of the battle they commanded in the charge were shot by the enemy, after which their soldiers had to pay attention to their own safety; Thirdly, although the enemy's fire is fierce, it seems that their artillery shells are insufficient, otherwise why did they not shell when they first launched the charge, why did their soldiers have to wait halfway up the hill to start shelling, such a close distance and it is easy to accidentally injure their teammates when it is dark.

And Yuichi Nagano also got the good news, that is, the commando team he sent out had found an enemy anti-aircraft artillery position and destroyed them, although I don't know how many such positions there are, but they have only torn a gap in the air defense line of the Eighth Road. As long as this gap continues to widen, their fighters can take off! (To be continued.) )
