Chapter 121: Meet the Individual Soldiers!

The Japanese army did not attack, because Suzuki Mitsu was looking for a breakthrough point in the triangular defensive position arranged by Liu Lang.

From the geographical point of view, there are four hills on three sides, and the straight-line distance between them is nearly 800 meters, and it stands to reason that Suzuki Mitsu can send infantry to penetrate through the gap between the two mountains, and then make a tactical detour, outflanking the Chinese defenders occupying the hills before and after.

In the past, Suzuki Mitsu would do this without hesitation, but now, he didn't dare. Because he has no artillery in his hands, but the Chinese have mountain artillery in their hands, once his soldiers are detected from the two mountains, there is no need to send troops at all, just a shell smashed over, let alone a detour, in the kind of mountain forest that is only covered by shrubs, half of them can come back alive is blessed by Amaterasu.

Besides, there are no roads in the mountains and forests at all, it is already difficult for a fully armed individual soldier to climb the mountain, and heavy firepower such as heavy machine guns cannot be brought over at all.

He even suspected that it was a trap specially left for him by the Chinese, so he waited for him to take the bait and give him a head.

This time, Suzuki Mitsu learned wisely, of course several mountains cannot be a closed circle, there are valleys between the mountains, and Liu Lang's troops are not so many to cover all positions.

Therefore, in some rugged mountain roads and deep forests, Liu Lang left a gap of four or five hundred meters at all, but he left scouts in the forest.

Liu Jinzuo, Zhen Dazhuang, and Mo Xiaomei are all lurking in the mountains and forests on both flanks of the No. 2 Heights, just waiting for the Japanese army to take the unusual road, as long as they dare to come, the 8 mountain guns under the protection of the triangular position make them look good, and the coordinates of those positions can have been calculated and placed in the hands of several artillery commanders.

Now the death squad may be short of manpower, food, grenades, and many battlefield necessities, but there is absolutely no shortage of artillery shells, and the two artillery brigades have prepared a lot of artillery shells, and it is absolutely no problem to support the fight to the end.

And Liu Lang will never be stingy, for him, talent is the first, cannons and shells are gone, and they can be rebuilt, but people are gone, but there is nothing.

Heights No. 1 had already been tested by Li Shoushan's infantry brigade, and Suzuki Mitsu knew very well that there were at least two infantry companies there, and according to the opponent's previous combat strength, if he wanted to conquer that position, he would not pay the loss of four infantry squadrons, so he could not think about it.

Four infantry squadrons are an infantry brigade, even if he, the commander of the major general's brigade, wants to give his son with all his heart, then the two wing commanders under his command must be happy! So far, each wing commander has less than 2 infantry brigades, and if you remove one more, even if you are just a big Zuo, then I'm afraid you will have to turn your face, right?

This hard bone can only be given up first, and the only thing left is the three hills of the other two positions.

The No. 2 plateau in charge of the death squad is said to be a mountain, but it is actually composed of two mountains, one is higher, the mountain is more than 300 meters high, and the other is slightly shorter about 260 meters, and the straight-line distance between the two mountains is only 100 meters. The No. 3 position on the other side of the pistol company is a mountain, which is steeper, and the mountain height is about 300 meters.

With the combat staff officer riding around several mountains, Suzuki Mitsu finally ordered to launch simultaneous attacks on several other hills where Chinese were stationed, except for the No. 1 position.

The Japanese army was very well prepared this time, recruiting the artillery of the Manchurian Infantry Brigade to serve as a transport brigade, plus the original nearly 20 infantry guns of the two infantry wings, in addition to leaving 8 in front of the Luowenyu Pass position to guard against the main counterattack of the Chinese army, 18 infantry guns were still mobilized in all directions, and 3 heavy machine gun squadrons were put in, which means that there will be 12 heavy machine guns on each hill to suppress.

This is already the use of all the heavy weapons that Suzuki Mitsu's subordinates can use, which can be regarded as a bloody outcome.

All the Japanese troops involved in the attack, there was no Manchurian infantry brigade, and the strength was as high as 6 infantry squadrons, and more than 1,000 people under black pressure began to attack from three directions to three hills after the rumbling cannon.

Because the Japanese troops were on the periphery, the depth of their activities was also greater, and in order to avoid being hit by the mountain artillery of the Chinese troops in the triangular position, the position they chose also made the gunners scratch their heads, and some even approached 600 meters in front of the position to carry out shelling.

It has to be said that the tactical literacy of the Japanese army is not generally strong, and after the retaliatory shelling by the mountain artillery, the shortcomings of the Chinese artillery were quickly found, because the space for activity in the valley was limited, and the artillerymen finally found a flat place to put the artillery down, and there was absolutely no time and strength to find the heavy mountain artillery again, and the angle and range of the artillery would be greatly limited.

The formidable twin machine guns of the Chinese defenders were the targets of the Japanese artillery and grenadiers.

If you don't kill those big killers, not to mention the infantry guns that have approached the front of each position in order to avoid the firing range of the mountain artillery, even the Japanese commanders at all levels who are hiding behind 700 meters also feel that they are in danger.

Once the cannon is fired flat, the firing range is as high as 2,500 meters, and hitting 700 meters is not the same as playing?

Seeing that the devil was deploying troops and playing new tricks again, Liu Lang had already sneaked back to the back mountain through the cave, saw the deployment of the Japanese army through the telescope, and immediately reacted, the Japanese army finally returned to their old way, they were feintting.

That is, after being beaten, they used their most traditional infantry tactics, using feints to attract the defenders' heavy fire points, and then using the most infantry guns they are currently equipped with and the countless grenadiers lurking at the foot of the mountain to clear the heavy fire points.

Liu Lang sneered, if this tactic of the Japanese army is placed on ordinary Chinese defenders, it will naturally be effective. Because the ordinary Chinese army is equipped with rifles, continuous firepower is limited, and it naturally needs heavy machine guns for fire suppression, even if it is known that the Japanese army is a feint, but in the face of the pressure of the Japanese attack, it can only be forced to use heavy machine guns and other firepower to suppress, and then can only be destroyed by a large number of infantry artillery equipped by the opponent.

This was almost an unsolvable problem for the Chinese army, which lacked enough artillery to suppress it, so the Japanese army became more and more comfortable with this tactic, and finally it was even written into the army's infantry drill code.

But obviously, neither the death squad on position 2 nor the pistol company on position 3 were not afraid of this.

Because, they have the most powerful short-range continuous fire weapons in the tens of thousands of Chinese troops from Xifengkou to Luowenyu, MP18 submachine guns and barge guns, and more importantly, they also have 8 mountain guns to support behind, even if the firing range is limited, as long as these big killing weapons are there, the Japanese infantry artillery must also carefully find gun positions, and dare not be unscrupulous.

What Liu Lang was afraid of was not the tactical changes of the Japanese army, but the determination of the Japanese army.

No matter which high ground, the biggest shortcoming of the defenders is the lack of troops, once the Japanese army has made up its mind to exchange death for death, it will be a bitter battle, a bloody battle, and even a battle of total annihilation.

What Liu Lang feared did not happen in the first wave of the Japanese attack.
