At noon, Zhong Yi personally rushed to the battlefield of Pingfeng Mountain.

At this time, the Kowloon Mountain at the front had been lost.

Not only was the position on Jiulong Mountain lost, but there were also few officers and soldiers of the 1st Company stationed at Jiulong Mountain.

After the Japanese army changed its tactics, the coastal defense corps obviously could not come up with a good way to deal with it, and it was almost noon, and there were only more than 10 people left in the 1st Company stationed at Jiulong Mountain.

As a last resort, Zhong Yi could only let the 1st Company withdraw from the battle.

After seizing Jiulong Mountain, the Japanese army did not stop, and then launched an attack on Pingfeng Mountain, Wanzhang Mountain and Liangtong Mountain at the same time, it is obvious that after tasting the sweetness of Jiulong Mountain, the devil intends to repeat the old tricks, and apply the tactics of Jiulong Mountain to Pingfeng Mountain, Wanzhang Mountain and Liangtong Mountain.

When Zhong Yi arrived, the devil had just launched the second wave of attacks!

Through the field of vision of the telescope, Zhong Yi clearly saw that about half a squad of devil infantry actually opened a skirmish line with a width of more than two hundred meters and pounced from the northern foot of Pingfeng Mountain.

Behind the devil infantry, more than a dozen light and heavy aircraft were erected from both wings to provide fire support.

Guarding at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain was the 2nd Company and 1st Platoon, as soon as the officers and men of the 1st Platoon appeared, they immediately attracted fierce strafing from the devil's machine guns, and in the face of the devil's ferocious machine gun fire, the 1st Platoon could only use machine guns to counteract.

However, the machine guns and mortars of the 1st platoon opened fire, which immediately provoked an even more ferocious countermeasure.

The grenadiers from 300 meters away, the mortars from 500 meters away, the chariot defense guns at a distance of 500 meters, the 92 infantry guns and even the mountain artillery opened fire at the same time, dumping rows of shells onto the positions of the first platoon.

In just a few moments, the machine guns and mortars of the 2nd company and the 1st platoon were lost by almost half.

"Withdraw!" Zhong Yi immediately turned back to Qin Dingyong, the commander of the 2nd battalion, and said, "Withdraw the machine guns and mortars, without strong fortifications, our machine guns and mortars can only become live targets in the face of the absolute superiority of the devil's artillery firepower, so let's withdraw them, don't make unnecessary sacrifices." ”

"Yes." Qin Dingyong agreed, and hurriedly asked the signal soldier to go down to give the order.

After receiving Qin Dingyong's order, the few remaining machine guns and the only remaining mortar in the 1st platoon quickly withdrew to the back of Pingfeng Mountain.

However, after the loss of machine-gun and artillery support, the situation of the 1st platoon became even more difficult.

With the support of the devil's machine gun fire, nearly half of the squad of devil soldiers quickly approached the defensive position.

This time, the devil did not rush into the position to engage in a white-knuckle battle with the coastal defense corps, but stayed at a distance of about 50 meters and kept throwing grenades.

After throwing the grenade, the devil infantry charged again.

Soon, the devil infantry broke through to the defensive positions of the national army.

The tragic white-knuckle battle was staged again at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, Zhong Yi could clearly see that although the 2nd Company and 1st Platoon had an advantage in numbers, they were at a significant disadvantage in the white-knuckle battle.

The reason for this is simple, the 1 platoon did not have an advantage in firepower.

Yesterday afternoon in Jiulong Mountain, the reason why the 1st Company and 1st Platoon were able to defeat the same number of devils in a white-knuckle battle was mainly because of the firepower advantage of the submachine guns, and nearly half of the devils had been knocked down before they made contact, but now, the firepower group of the 1st Platoon had withdrawn from its position, so the 1st Platoon had no firepower advantage.

A few minutes later, the white-knuckle battle at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain was over.

Nearly 30 devil infantry who broke into the position were all stabbed to death, but the 1st company and 1st platoon were basically disabled, and there were at most 50 officers and men left in more than 100 officers, many of whom still had colors on them.

Before the matter was over, the devil soldiers immediately launched another attack.

Almost half a squad of devil infantry bent out from the sortie position 300 meters away, and with the 38 big cover with bayonets on it, they launched another attack on the northern foot of Pingfeng Mountain.

Seeing this, Qin Dingyong said hatefully: "Senzai, I'll take the 2nd row down and change the 1st row back!" ”

"No, you don't." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Changing the 2 rows up, it is nothing more than half an hour longer, it is useless, the devil has changed his tactics, we must make corresponding changes accordingly." ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "Pass my order, let the 1st platoon resist a little, withdraw from the position, retreat halfway up the mountain, and the 2nd platoon responsible for guarding the halfway up the mountain should not fight hard with the little devils, and retreat to the ridge defense line after a little resistance, and then the 3rd platoon should not fight hard with the devils, and give up Pingfeng Mountain when the fight is almost over." ”

"What?" Qin Dingyong was stunned, "Give up Pingfeng Mountain? ”

Li Weifan, who was born in the officer training corps, also said in confusion: "Senza, if we give up Pingfeng Mountain so quickly, it will be difficult to defend Wanzhang Mountain and Liangtong Mountain behind, if Wanzhang Mountain and Liangtong Mountain are lost again, we will only have one Phoenix Mountain left to be used as a barrier, and the situation will be difficult at that time." ”

"Execute the order." Zhong Yi didn't explain much.

So far, the devils have realized the advantages of their coastal defense corps, and they have also cast targeted deployments, but if the little devils think that they can defeat the coastal defense corps in this way, they are too naïve!

Because the firepower advantage of small arms can be used not only for defense, but also for offense!

The real battle has just begun!

……

Nearly in the evening, the commander of the 21st Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, Katano Tarumi, accompanied by the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade, Jiro Aso, slowly climbed to the top of Pingfeng Mountain.

I saw that on the top of the mountain, there were shells and large craters left by the explosion of aerial bombs.

Several craters even smoked, and a few phalanges could be seen in the scorched earth.

In addition to the faint smell of gunsmoke, there was also a strong smell of burnt and bloody blood.

Most people don't like the smell, but Katano is an exception.

Taking a deep sniff of the turbid air filled with the smell of burnt and blood, Katano let out a groaning sigh from the depths of his throat, as if he had just smoked a tube of opium.

"It's beautiful." Katano sighed, "What a magnificent sight. ”

"Hello." Jiro Aso paused and said, "Captain, the advance of the imperial army is simply overwhelming, if nothing else, it can advance to Camel Town tomorrow evening!" At noon the day after tomorrow, we will almost be able to hit the Jiangbei District of Yinjiang, and in about two days, the battle of Yinjiang should be over. ”

"Jose." Katano nodded happily and continued, "But don't be careless. ”

"It doesn't matter." Aso Jiro waved his hand and said indifferently, "Before the imperial army's brand-new offensive tactics, the Shina army was completely unable to organize effective resistance, and it was only a matter of time before it was defeated. ”

Katano thought so, and even laughed out loud.
