Chapter 902: The First Battle of Yao Wangtai
The 77th Wing of the Japanese Army, Guan Shan Feizhong Dazuo, stood on a high ground under Yaowangtai with a telescope, repeatedly observed Yaowangtai, and at this time received a report from the reconnaissance special forces sent out, and had a very clear understanding of the position of our army in Yaowangtai.
Wielding a command knife, he ordered 20 artillery pieces and 15 tanks to bombard the positions of our troops in Yaowangtai with the most ferocious firepower.
Dozens of artillery shells flew out of the enemy's position in an instant, breaking through the air and falling on our army's position with a sharp roar.
The infantry battalion and artillery battalion that held the Yaowangtai position, but they did not expect that as soon as the Japanese army advanced to the foot of Yaowangtai Mountain, they launched the most powerful artillery fire to carry out bombardment, and the position was destroyed in an instant under the enemy's powerful artillery bombardment.
The fighters who held their positions did not have a place to hide under fierce fire, and as the fortifications were destroyed, the troops suffered heavy casualties.
Battalion commander Zhang of the infantry battalion saw that the Japanese army's raging artillery fire fell on the position one after another, causing a violent explosion that destroyed the forward fortifications, and not only shouted: "Guanzhong Lengwa brothers, the little devil is vainly trying to use the most ferocious artillery fire to destroy us and occupy Yaowangtai, are you afraid?" β
"Please rest assured that Battalion Commander Zhang, as long as we still have a breath, we will definitely hold our positions with blood and lives, only allow us to advance and not retreat, not to mention that the little devils bombarded us with artillery fire, it was this group of mongrels who rushed up, and we still beat them back."
"Okay, everyone do a good job of concealment now, once the Japanese artillery covers the little devils to attack our Yaowangtai position, even if we die on this position, we will never let the little devils occupy the Yaowangtai position."
Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese army launched a frantic attack on Yaowangtai, and the murderous 77th Wing Guanshan Hizhong Dazuo did not take the defenders of Yaowangtai seriously at all.
In his opinion, an infantry battalion and an artillery battalion wanted to block the 77th Wing of the elite division under the Yaowang Stage, which was simply wishful thinking.
He ordered Noda's squadron, as the main force to attack Yaowangtai, and it was necessary to break through the Yaowangtai position in two hours, otherwise there would be no forgiveness.
The squadron led by Squadron Noda, like the 77th Wing in the recent encounter, although it was an elite division, it also became an unlucky journey, and was attacked and attacked by the 54th Regiment and the Cheetah Commando led by Lei Yunfeng in the Dongyuan Battlefield and the Xiyanghe Battle, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.
Today, he was tasked with attacking the infantry battalion and artillery battalion of the 46th Brigade of the Yaowangtai West Route Army.
Under the personal leadership of Squadron Leader Noda, the arrogant little devils got closer and closer to Yaowangtai's position, and one by one they straightened their waists with 38 big covers, howling and launching the first attack on Yaowangtai.
Battalion Commander Zhao of the artillery battalion issued an order to the artillery battalion, which had quickly resumed the battle at this time, to adjust the muzzle of the artillery to aim at the attacking enemy group, and to cover the infantry battalion with the most intense artillery fire to block the attacking enemy.
The little devils of the Noda squadron who attacked Yaowangtai quickly pounced halfway up the mountain, but they were not blocked by the fire of the defenders of Yaowangtai, not only roared arrogantly: "The position of the pig has been completely destroyed by the artillery fire of our Japanese Imperial Army, and it will be killedββγ β
The devils who flocked to Yaowangtai were suddenly bombarded by dozens of mortar shells, followed by dense bullets like flying locusts, and the little devils who were killed by the explosion of the shells or blown into scrap fell down one after another, rolling down the hillside like a tree.
The devils who continued to pounce on Yaowangtai with guns in their backs were hit by the devils who were shot and fell down the slope and rolled down, some fell backwards with their backs facing the sky, and smashed on the devils behind, and some were knocked to the ground unsteadily.
Our officers and soldiers who were sticking to the Yaowang platform saw that the attacking Japanese troops were hit by fire, and they fell down one after another, hitting the devils behind them and rolling down the mountain.
Squadron Leader Noda saw the fierce firepower of our troops who were sticking to the Yaowangtai position, and blocked the Japanese attack with maximum firepower under the cover of artillery fire. β
The Japanese soldiers around him heard Squadron Leader Noda's order so fiercely, and those devils who wanted to slack off by deliberately falling down were so frightened that they quickly got up from the ground, and continued to attack with guns and howling while shooting.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front of Squadron Leader Noda carried a plaster flag on their bayonets, followed by a large number of devils who increased their firepower and frantically pounced on Yaowangtai.
Battalion Commander Zhang of the infantry battalion picked up Hanyangzao, aimed at this damn little devil with a plaster flag, held his breath and slowly moved the muzzle, when this devil with a plaster flag stopped and wanted to take a breath, a bullet with a sharp whistling flew into the devil's head very accurately.
With a scream, the little devil with the plaster flag fell backwards violently, and smashed right on the Japanese commander Squadron Leader Noda behind him, if it weren't for the devil who pounced on him behind him to support him, Noda would have fallen and rolled down the mountain.
Battalion Commander Zhang saw the result of a shot, and this devil carrying a plaster flag not only shouted loudly: "Guanzhong Lengwa brothers, aim at the enemy and shoot again, and strive to make sure that there are no bullets, we must eliminate the attacking little devil under the stage of King Yao." β
The soldiers around him listened to Battalion Commander Zhang's orders, and one by one they aimed their guns at the devil's head and upper body, and pulled the trigger to shoot the bullets.
"Hahaha, I killed three more little devils, I thought the little devils were King Kong's incorruptible body, it turned out to be a stinky skin, don't look at this group of bastards is extremely arrogant, they are just a ball in front of the soldiers of our infantry battalion."
The soldiers listened to what Battalion Commander Zhang said so wittily, not only did they playfully shoot at the attacking devils and shouted: "The battalion commander is right, the little devils are stinky skins, and they are awesome." β
Battalion Commander Zhao of the artillery battalion stood on a cliff overlooking the attacking enemy and could bring the enemy into sight, and issued an order to adjust the artillery fire to hit the target at any time.
As the shells fired by the artillery battalion continued to explode in the enemy camp, the attacking enemy turned on his back and was blown up one by one.
The 77th Wing Sekiyama Hinaka Daisa stared at a pair of eagle-like eyes, eager to eat this Noda squadron leader who had failed in the attack and was hit hard.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, it was Noda who underestimated the enemy, and the first attack on Yaowangtai was severely damaged, could you please kill me?"
"You, you bastard, I want to slash you." Captain Sekiyama Hinaka raised his command knife and was about to slash at Noda, so frightened that Ichiro Kameda, chief of staff of the 77th Wing, rushed forward and grabbed Sekiyama Hitaka's command knife with both hands.
"Guan Shanjun and Noda-kun Although the attack led by the troops failed this time, through this tentative attack, the firepower deployment of the Chinese troops in Yaowangtai was exposed, and if the offensive tactics are adjusted, our army will definitely be invincible."
