Chapter 635: Artillery Position Crisis
Han Nina heard Lei Yunfeng say that as long as she can survive, she can live happily, and under the powerful impact of love, her confidence suddenly increased, and she lay behind the dirt slope with her gun, pulled the trigger and shot the bullets in the chamber of the gun, blocking the enemy who rushed up frantically.
Lei Yunfeng looked at Han Nina beside him as if she was a different person at this time, bravely holding a gun to block the attacking little devil, not only said encouragingly: "Yes, kill the devil like this, you are good." β
The enemy's attack is becoming more and more fierce, if Lei Yunfeng does not quickly retreat to the mortar position with Han Nina, and form a powerful firepower with them to block the Japanese troops who rush up, I am afraid that they will be divided and lose the powerful firepower of collective combat.
Once they are divided, the enemy will adopt the tactics of encircling each one by fire, and in the end, their 'Mantis' special operation team, which has just been airdropped to the western line of Nakajo Mountain, will die here without any achievements.
He once again increased his firepower to the maximum, and the devil who blocked the attack lay on the ground to counterattack, Lei Yunfeng seized this short advantageous opportunity, grabbed Han Nina's arm and dragged him up and rushed towards the mortar position.
Hou Sheng led Fang Shichao, Zhu Zhensheng and Su Xiaoyan to attack the attacking enemy with the most fierce artillery fire, but the speed at which the enemy pounced was very fast, and the enemy's offensive formation began to disperse, and it was difficult to destroy a large number of enemies with the shells fired.
As the Japanese army accelerated its offensive and got closer and closer to the mortar position, the shells fired at such a short distance were very close to the artillery position, and the shell explosion could easily injure their own people.
In addition, the angle of firing at close range is difficult to control, and the enemy's offensive formation is advancing rapidly, and the fire of shells to destroy the enemy has lost the power of artillery fire.
When Hou Sheng was in a hurry and at a loss, he suddenly found that Lei Yunfeng was dragging Han Nina to retreat from the front, and the devil who pounced on him followed closely behind, and he was about to rush to the artillery position.
Fang Shichao and Zhu Zhensheng have more combat experience in the frontal battlefield than Hou Sheng, after all, they were originally junior officers of the field unit of the 262nd Division, and they had experienced the tempering of blood and fire in the Songhu Campaign, and shouted decisively in the face of the current tense situation:
"No. 2, the boss and No. 5 are being chased and beaten by the enemy, we must immediately give up artillery fire to attack the enemy, and pick up guns to cover the retreat of the boss and No. 5."
Although Hou Sheng had a bold personality in the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, he knew that he lacked combat experience on the frontal battlefield, and listened to Fang Shichao and Zhu Zhensheng's loud reminders, this soldier who did not dare to be stubborn immediately ordered to cover the retreat of the boss with gun firepower.
Under the cover of the powerful fire of the four submachine guns and grenades waiting for the rest of the people, Lei Yunfeng and Han Nina quickly withdrew to the mortar position, and lay down on the spot and ordered loudly: "Block the attacking enemy with the most fierce firepower, and use the grenades to repel the devils." β
The leader of the Japanese squadron who led the devils to attack the mortar position found that there were only six soldiers who attacked and occupied the mortar position, and in the face of a strong Japanese attack, he was huddled in the artillery position at this time, and the fire of six submachine guns alone would not stop the Japanese attack at all.
The Japanese squadron leader brandished his command knife and shouted: "Take a fan-shaped formation fire to surround the mortar positions, eliminate these six Chinapigs, recapture the mortar positions of the Imperial Japanese Army, and kill themββγ β
Under the experienced command of the Japanese commander, more than 100 little devils adopted a fan-shaped formation to carry out fire attacks and rapid encirclement.
In the face of the enemy's powerful offensive, Lei Yunfeng sighed: "We finally succeeded in sneaking up on the Japanese artillery position and captured six mortars, and now it seems that under the enemy's strong offensive, it is impossible to take away these six mortars." β
"Boss, even if you can't take these six mortars, you can't be taken back by the little devil, just blow it up." Fang Shichao said that he was about to throw a grenade in his hand into the chamber of the cannon and blow up a mortar beside him.
Zhu Zhensheng and Su Xiaoyan were both soldiers who came out of the 262nd Division of the field troops, and they knew very well how much firepower these six mortars would bring to the opponent if they fell into the hands of the enemy again.
The two of them agreed very much with Fang Shichao's proposal, staring at Lei Yun Peak with two eyes, waiting for Lei Yun Feng to give an order.
Lei Yunfeng glanced at the six mortars, and was very reluctant to give the order to blow up the six mortars, when the Japanese army that suddenly attacked frantically pounced, and the fire was ferocious to surround the six of them, and it was too late to blow up the mortars at this time.
He stared at the bloodthirsty eyes and shouted with a submachine gun: "Brothers, we must not be surrounded by the enemy and die here, let alone become prisoners of the little devils, from now on, every two people will become a group, open a gap with the most fierce firepower, and quickly move closer to the opposite position of our army under the cross-cover of firepower." β
Just when Lei Yunfeng gave the order to break through the enemy's fire encirclement and move closer to the forward position of the 13th Battalion opposite, the commander of the 13th Battalion, who was sticking to the front line of the first line of defense of the Western Front of the National Revolutionary Army, noticed that there was an abnormal movement in the devil team.
The 13th Battalion, which was holding the front line, at the critical moment when the enemy launched the fourteenth frantic attack, and the position was precarious and about to be broken through, suddenly heard shells whistling from behind the enemy and falling in the ranks of the enemy's attack.
The 13th Battalion, under the command of Regiment Commander Guo, saw that the enemy was suddenly hit by artillery fire and ordered the troops to block the attacking enemy with maximum firepower.
The Japanese commander saw that the attacking troops were suddenly blocked by artillery fire and heavy fire from the enemy's forward positions, and the troops' attack was frustrated, and ordered to stop the attack and quickly retreat down the mountain.
The soldiers of the 13th Battalion saw that the enemy launched the most ferocious fourteenth attack, and at the tense moment when the position was about to be lost, the enemy was actually routed and quickly fled back, not only raising their guns and cheering, but also repelling the enemy's attack again.
Seeing that it was very easy to repel another attack by the enemy this time, the commander of the 54th Regiment Guo not only looked at the fleeing enemy troops in confusion, but also said suspiciously: "Why did an artillery unit suddenly appear behind the frenzied Japanese army to support us in attacking the enemy?" β
"Yes, I wonder why there shouldn't be our allies behind the enemy, but the sudden appearance of this artillery unit to relieve us of the siege is really confusing."
Regiment Commander Guo shook his head, frowned, pondered, and said: "Could it be that our plainclothes commandos directly under the 17th Division went deep behind the enemy, suddenly attacked the enemy's mortar position, and used the enemy's artillery fire to support us to repel the Japanese army's crazy attack?" β
"Danza, do you think it's possible? Although our plainclothes commandos were sneaking up on the enemy behind enemy lines, it was not easy to sneak up on a Japanese mortar position, but I did not understand why the enemy mortars bombarded their own troops. β
"Battalion Commander Gao, this shouldn't be a mystery, sooner or later I will know the mysterious person who attacked the enemy's artillery unit, which unit came from, and when the battle is over, I must find the commander of this army that seized the enemy's artillery position, even if there is nothing valuable to thank, at least I have to say a few words."
Just when Regiment Commander Guo and Battalion Commander Gao were puzzled about the belonging of this artillery unit that suddenly appeared, they suddenly found that the Japanese troops under the mountain had given up attacking the forward positions of our army, and had concentrated their forces to attack their own mortar positions, and the firepower and speed of the attack were almost crazy.
