Chapter 317: Seize the Heights
At this moment, Li Fan suddenly ordered: "Open the cannon!" ”
As soon as the words fell, more than 20 mortars on the opposite bank concentrated their fire on the front part of the Japanese army, and the violent explosion also knocked down the momentum of the Japanese army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing the position, Lu Hai landed steadily with his feet, and then took a rifle and aimed at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side and fired.
"Bang!"
An outcropping Japanese soldier suddenly fell to the ground with his head blooming, and the rest of the soldiers hurriedly went up the rope and slid towards this side.
Seeing the boiled duck fly away from the pot, the Japanese army was also angry and fired fiercely at the soldiers on the Suodu, in the gunshot, several soldiers were shot and could no longer catch Suodu from a height of more than 200 meters smashed into the turbulent river and quickly disappeared, at this time, several Japanese soldiers rushed up and cut the rope with a knife, and suddenly a rope with people hanging suddenly fell down, some soldiers who could not grasp it fell into the river in a row, and finally a few soldiers on the Suodu except for five or six close to the front, But none of the others came.
There are also some ropes that fall back and smash them alive on the rock wall to death, this scene of the soldiers on the opposite bank spewed fire with fierce eyes, and they pulled the bolt to fire fiercely at the Japanese army, and the Japanese army was also killed in the chaos, and the rest did not dare to show their heads, glanced at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, Lu Hai frowned and said: "Put the rope away, and quickly retreat after planting mines here!" ”
"Yes"!
The exchange of fire gradually stopped, and similarly, the big melee on the side continued, in order to try to catch the troops out of the encirclement, Song Xilian can be said to have used all the forces that could be used, and the Japanese army was also crazy to increase troops here, and the two sides actually put on a decisive battle posture!
With the continuous increase of troops, on this blockade line alone, there is a brigade of Japanese troops, our army also used nearly two divisions of troops to fight here, there is no air force, all rely on soldiers and artillery, Song Xilian is also annoyed, ordered the artillery to carry out covering bombardment again and again against the Japanese defense line at the expense of shells, the infantry on both sides are charging back and forth, and an open space of less than a few hundred square meters at the front of the battlefield is densely filled with Chinese and Japanese soldiers. There were even dozens of Chinese and Japanese soldiers who died holding each other, which shows the intensity of the battle!
After breaking out of the encirclement, Lu Hai did not directly order the troops to withdraw, but after all, this was not his own troops, and all actions still had to be commanded, so the first thing Lu Hai did after withdrawing was to pick up the radio and call Song Xilian and ask to lead his troops to participate in the battle.
"Chief Song, our department has rushed out of the encirclement and asked for the next step!"
"What are the casualties of your troops, and what is the situation of the troops!"
"There are still two battalions of soldiers who can fight, and the ammunition is relatively sufficient!"
"I order you to take the two battalions of the 2nd Regiment to quickly flank the Japanese flank, seize the three turns on the opposite side, the two hills on the Suodu Ditch, cut off the connection between the Japanese army and the flank, and respond to the attack of the large army!" Song Xilian said.
"Yes!" Lu Hai responded.
After receiving the order, Lu Hai spoke: "Sun Shaoqing, you are responsible for leading the wounded soldiers to withdraw, and then transport the ammunition to the third turn and support on the Suodu ditch"!
"Yes!" Sun Shaoqing said.
"Li Fan, you and Zhao Jianying led the second battalion, the third battalion, and the two battalions of soldiers who can still fight to seize the Suodu Ditch, remember not to touch hard, try to sneak attack, but be fast, otherwise these two places will be lost, and the Japanese army will have more and more troops!"
"Don't worry!" Li Fan saluted.
"A battalion, follow me!"
With the order issued, the various departments began to take action one after another, heading towards the three turns and the Suodu ditch!
As the name suggests, the three turns are a rugged place, the most precipitous place above, a small road has to turn three turns to go up, so it is called three turns, and the Suodu ditch is not far from the previous place, and the prevention is naturally the strength of the two brigades pursuing them, and the strength seen here is close to two thousand, so Lu Hai also gave Li Fan the remaining more than 700 troops of the second and third battalions, which is more secure.
As for what will be encountered in the three turns, Lu Hai doesn't know, but the only thing a soldier can do is to order and prohibit, since the order is to seize the three turns, then he should rush forward and do what a soldier should do, if he can't recover the decline, maybe a counterattack is also possible, after all, Song Xilian is still constantly deploying forces to support him in order to save the defeat.
In the heavy rain, there was no thunder or strong wind, some were just a torrential rain that caused the river to swell, and neither side had air forces, some were just flesh and blood chests and guns.
"Boom!"
"Boom"!
There was the sound of artillery everywhere, and everywhere there was the sound of gunfire, and the two sides on the front were fighting, shells shuttling through the heavy rain and exploding in the muddy water. At this time, the tanks also launched a charge in the heavy rain, charging at the Japanese position, compared to the Japanese army did not have too many heavy weapons, because they were all rushing from the mountains and forests, it was a miracle that they could bring mortars and mountain artillery rifle guns, and they were discovered before there were tanks.
Therefore, under the charge of the tanks, the Japanese army in front has become more tight, but the Japanese army is fighting to the death, because the Japanese army is also constantly increasing its troops, trying to hit the Chinese army here, and the large troops pursuing in the distance have also moved closer in this direction, at the same time, in Tengchong City, the Japanese army of the two brigades set off again, leaving only 3,000 Japanese troops to continue to defend the city, fortunately, in the Songshan area, it was surrounded by the forces of the two divisions and did not dare to move, otherwise the reinforcements of the Japanese army would be more.
When Lu Hai and the others came to the third turn according to the map, they found that this place had been occupied by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army who occupied it had a squadron or so, and in such a short period of time, the Japanese army on the mountain had built some simple fortifications, and trenches had been dug out on the hillside.
However, because of the heavy rain, the trenches were full of muddy water, but these Japanese soldiers were now soaked in the muddy water and aimed their guns, with a posture of being ready for battle.
"A company commander..."
Saying that, Lu Hai suddenly fell silent, even a few soldiers around him were silent, the first company commander had already sacrificed, Zhang Yi had no choice but to say: "A company and a platoon leader, you come to take the position of a company commander, and you will lead a company to launch a feint attack from the front to contain the Japanese firepower!" ”
"Yes!" A long line answered.
"Second Company Commander, you attack from the flank, but it must be when the offensive of the first company is in full swing, you must ensure that when you launch a charge, you are only thirty meters away from their forward position, once you attack, you will up with grenades, and then quickly occupy the flank, and then attack the Japanese army in front!"
"Yes!" The second company commander saluted.
"The third company followed me to attack from here, attacking from three sides, fast and fierce, and wiped out all the Japanese troops here within half an hour!"
After the order was given, the various units began to advance quietly, quietly advancing forward through the dense forest bushes, and when the first company entered the firing range of 100 meters, they also quietly hidden, and quietly aimed their guns at the Japanese troops on the mountain.
A minute later, the commander of the first company gave the order to open fire, because each had locked on its own target before, so the first wave of fire killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers, at the same time, more than a dozen mortars under the mountain also opened fire, and the explosion roared loudly on the forward position, and there was a bit of a strong attack for a while.
The Japanese troops who were attacked quickly returned fire to a company, and the two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire, and after the attention of the Japanese troops was attracted to it, the units on both sides reached the line of attack, and they were now only thirty meters away from the Japanese army, that is, they had reached the range of grenades!
There was also a Japanese squad stationed above, and Lu Hai picked up his gun and aimed at an exposed light machine gunner, and then ordered: "Fight!" ”
Before the words fell, Lu Hai pulled the trigger suddenly, and killed the Japanese soldiers above with a shot, and at the same time, the soldiers in the field pulled a series of grenades and threw them up, and seventy or eighty grenades suddenly flew into the trench at a distance of less than 100 meters, and the effect can be imagined, at the same time, the soldiers in the field got up one after another and directly launched a charge, and the submachine guns rang out, and the dense bullet rain and roaring explosions hit the Japanese soldiers above with heavy casualties for a while.
Just when these Japanese troops had just organized their defensive lines and were preparing to counterattack, a series of smoke-emitting grenades smashed over again!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In a series of loud noises, many Japanese soldiers were blown out of the trenches, everyone rushed up, and the Japanese army started a close battle, with a submachine gun no longer have to fight with the Japanese bayonet, and even if it is not a submachine gun carbine and is not equipped with a bayonet, the Japanese soldiers rushed up and opened fire, the gap between automatic rifles and manual rifles became very obvious for a while, and the strong bushido spirit was just a joke under the dense rain of bullets!
The positions on the flanks soon fell, and the remaining less than seven or eight Japanese troops were also defeated, and at the same time, the second company basically cleared the Japanese army and launched a flanking attack on the Japanese army in the center.
Similarly, the company responsible for the feint attack also turned the feint attack into a formal attack, and attacked a small squad of the Japanese army on three sides, the effect can be imagined, after the various units turned to the attack, the Japanese troops on the front line suddenly collapsed, except for a few soldiers who ran out of ammunition and were still holding bayonets who were unwilling to surrender, there was nothing else, but in the face of so many bright muzzles, these Japanese soldiers did not dare to attack without authorization!
"Sir, what should I do?" The company commander asked.
"What's the use of these brutes, they don't want to surrender and kill them!" Lu Hai said.
At this moment, a Japanese soldier shouted a few words, and Lu Hai suddenly frowned and said, "What did he say?" ”
"Sir, he said that we are all cowards, and those who have the ability to fight them one-on-one!" Wang Feng said. (To be continued.) )
