Chapter 70: A Piece of Rubble (Part II)
Outside Meiling Town, two kilometers away on the battlefield, the devil's troops probably had a wing, all of which were all accumulated under a hillside that was not too spacious, and it was impossible to break through. Because the Yanhuang Legion on the hillside has arranged a regiment of troops, all kinds of light and heavy weapons are ready, and there are armed helicopters to suppress the fire overhead, and the snipers are specially responsible for clearing the opponent's heavy fire points at fixed points, whether it is mortars or grenadiers, they will knock you off as soon as they appear.
Although the devils have more troops, they do not have an advantage in the terrain, and their weapons and equipment are more than one grade worse, which makes them attack very hard, and the casualties are not small, but they have not been able to move forward.
Of course, the Yanhuang Legion would not be able to completely eliminate them for a while, so the two sides were in a stalemate here, with gunfire blaring, bullets flying, and people constantly falling.
Although the people of the Yanhuang Legion are equipped with relatively complete alloy body armor, there are also some casualties, but such losses are much more slight for them and will not affect the overall combat effectiveness.
The commander of the devil stood in an open field with a command knife in hand, brandishing his sword and shouting loudly, directing his troops to charge forward in an attempt to take the hillside. Not too far behind them was the mountain road leading to Meiling Town, where the terrain gradually rose and it was possible to take advantage of the terrain.
As soon as he thought of this, the devil's commander felt like a flame poured with hot oil, and he rose up slowly, eager to scold.
This broken terrain, if the mountain road behind them is a short distance forward, then they can be on the range, and they can also use the terrain to fight back, but this mountain road suddenly becomes flat here, so they can only watch, but there is no way, isn't this a pit man.
The commander who ignored the devil muttered and complained, the 301st Regiment of the Third Infantry Division of the Yanhuang Legion on the hillside was in full array, as long as the devil dared to approach, it would be a burst of fire, and they threw away their armor and fled in embarrassment, and after leaving dozens of corpses, they fled back in disarray.
The two sides had been at a stalemate here for seven or eight hours, and the devil was stunned that he could not set foot on the hillside.
Looking at the devil troops who were in a hurry at the bottom of the mountain, the commander of the 302nd Regiment of the Third Division on the hillside was holding a revolver machine gun, and laughed, "Dog, Lao Tzu is here, you still want to come up, dream." ”
Da da da, the machine gun rang out, overwhelmingly pressing on the devils under the mountain, making them cry bitterly, but the order did not dare to disobey, so they could only charge up, even though they knew that it was death to greet them.
"Ready, put!"
Behind the hillside, under the protection of an alloy shield, a 105 mortar was neatly arranged, and the gunner in charge of the operation was dressed in camouflage uniform, and the shells were orderly loaded into it.
The shells whistled, the air waves emptied, and the devil's favorite method of attack was used on them, giving them a taste of mortar bombardment.
Although there was only one regiment, and only one battalion of soldiers were placed on the front-line positions, and the other two battalions existed entirely as reserves, it was these 500 people who cried wolf and threw away their armor.
The commander of the devil organized several attacks, but they all ended in failure, and in the end they suffered heavy losses, and all the troops involved in the attack suffered heavy casualties.
Because of this, the devil's support forces attacked many times, but in the end there was no progress at all, but they were oppressed very miserably.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, four wings of the two brigades and regiments responsible for supporting arrived and they immediately entered the battle, greatly relieving the pressure on this wing.
The wing commander of the Sakai Division was very pleased with the sudden appearance of reinforcements, and he said, "Thank you very much for your support. ”
The four wings in charge of the rescue knew in their hearts that this was the aid that Chief of Staff Mita had exchanged for something, so when it came to thanks, it should be said that they were grateful to the Sakai Division. But they can't say this, they can only think about it in their hearts, and on the surface, they have to pretend to be very righteous, "Serving the empire is what we soldiers should do." ”
Feeling that with the reinforcements, the wing commander of the Sakai Division suddenly felt a lot more confident, and he ordered the troops to press on all fronts and attack from one direction of the hillside, while the other half of the hillside was the direction of the reinforcements' attack.
The four wings were naturally embarrassed to just take things and not work, so they also took on part of the attack and rushed towards the hillside with great momentum.
At this moment, the fierce battle escalated, the two sides were entangled together, the gunfire continued, and people kept falling, and the people behind immediately rose up.
The pressure on the 302nd Regiment of the Third Division suddenly increased greatly, although they had a great advantage in weapons and equipment, but after all, the number was limited, and it was easy to deal with the onslaught of one wing, but now that five wings were attacking at the same time, then their pressure was innumerable, and the battalion that was originally used as a reserve was also transferred and joined the battle.
On the hillside, there were muzzles of guns spraying tongues of fire, the sound of bullets flying by, and the fallen bodies everywhere, all splashed blood.
"Commander Qin, we have been ordered to support you." Just when the 302nd Regiment was in a hurry, a group of soldiers rushed from the rear of the hillside, all of them were automatic weapons, and their movements were skillful, and they looked like elite soldiers who had been trained for a long time.
Seeing these troops coming, the commander of the 302nd Regiment of the Third Division was pleasantly surprised and shouted, "Grandma, you're done fighting over there, isn't it time for you to go here." ”
The commander and fighter who led the team nodded, and while directing his soldiers to quickly rush to the position and join the battle, he said, "Yes, the battle over there is over, and the three brigades of the devil have all been annihilated, and few have escaped the net, so this is the battle next." ”
"Great, that's all I was waiting for." As he spoke, Regiment Leader Qin pulled the bolt of the gun, replaced it with a new chain, and then pointed the muzzle of the gun at the devil under the hillside again.
"The political commissar ordered to turn defense into offense, press the devil back into Meiling Town, and prepare to implement the rubble plan." With a loud roar, all the fighters who participated in the battle were in high spirits and increased their firepower.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation was immediately reversed, and even though the devils had five wings, they felt a huge pressure, and they tried to support it, hoping to withstand the pressure of the other party.
It's a pity that the Yanhuang Legion didn't want to give them a chance to breathe at all, and the Eagle Falcon armed attack helicopter roared out of the sky, two large-caliber machine guns roared in the nose, and the rain of bullets sprayed at the devil troops on the ground.
At the same time, hurricane tanks also rushed out from both sides of the hillside, and while galloping, the tank guns fired shells at the same time, rushing straight to the devils under the hillside, and the tracks brought up the dust covering the sky and the sun, as if they were erecting flags.
At the foot of the hill, the devils were all in chaos, they didn't expect the other party's reinforcements to arrive so soon, and there were so many troops, and the weapons and equipment were so sophisticated.
This battle can't be fought, the devils retreated backwards, and at the same time let out a wail in their hearts, the enemy on the opposite side opened all kinds of firepower, and the bullets were like a torrential rain, and they watched the people on their side fall one after another, if they continued to resist, they would probably have to die here.
As a result, the devil's troops began to retreat, retreating towards Meiling Town little by little, with the mountain road behind them, although the terrain has improved, but the opponent's firepower is too strong, they can only keep retreating, keep retreating.
That is, in a few minutes, the devil was beaten and retreated to the town gate of Meiling Town, and then retreated to Meiling Town.
When they arrived here, the commanders of the devils did not dare to retreat, they knew that without the permission of the chief of staff of Meiling Town, they would retreat into Meiling Town without permission, and they would flee the battlefield, and they would be dealt with according to the crime of desertion, if that was the case, I am afraid that there was a possibility of being shot.
"What now?" Several wing commanders huddled together, whispered, and finally decided to send someone into Meiling Town to ask Chief of Staff Mita for instructions to see if they could be allowed to withdraw in.
The messenger was sent out, and all that remained was to wait, and the captains of several wings felt as if they had been roasted on an iron plate, and it was too uncomfortable to see their troops being killed and unable to do anything.
Finally, when he saw that the vanguard of the Hurricane Tank had already driven up the mountain road, the devil who delivered the letter finally returned, and he shouted as he ran, "The chief of staff has an order for the troops to withdraw to Meiling Town." ”
When they heard this, the devils were all overjoyed, and they immediately turned their troops and withdrew towards the town, lest they would be killed if they walked slowly.
Seeing that the devils began to retreat towards the town gate, the Yanhuang Legion, which was in hot pursuit, slowed down without being noticed, and even the Hurricane tanks at the front began to bluff, and the thunder and rain were grinding in place.
Finally, the devil withdrew into Meiling Town, and then closed the town gate, and then all the light and heavy weapons on the town wall turned their guns, ready to wait for the Yanhuang Legion to enter the firing range before firing.
To the disappointment of the Japanese, the Yanhuang Legion suddenly stopped, and the position was just outside the effective range of the weapons in the town, which made the devils extremely depressed, but they could not do anything about it.
Seeing that the troops were successfully withdrawn, the chief of staff of Mita on the town wall finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the plan to rescue the commander of the Sakai Division failed, but at least most of these troops withdrew back, and the defense force of Meiling Town was preserved.
With the advantage of the terrain and the strength of two multi-brigade regiments in the town, the Yanhuang Army wants to take Meiling Town, and it is expected that it will be impossible to take Meiling Town in three days, which is enough time for the Japanese Kwantung Army to send a large number of reinforcements to arrive.
Therefore, Chief of Staff Mita is not very worried about the siege of the Yanhuang Army now, what he is most worried about now is the life and death of Sakai, as well as the whereabouts of the three brigades.
It's been more than ten hours since they've lost contact, are they really in trouble?
