Target: Devil artillery position under the mountain, prepare, put !! ”

The artillery position of the devils under the mountain had already been determined, and Gao Deshan, the leader of the artillery squad of the 4th Battalion, immediately ordered his artillery soldiers to load the artillery and launch a counterattack.

"Yes, Captain!"

I saw that the artillery fighters who were ready to be on call picked up the shells stacked behind them and loaded them into the barrels.

Due to the fact that the Japanese troops under the raid on Yamoyu 2 captured part of the devil mortars, two Type 92 infantry guns and other artillery support firearms such as grenadiers, so that with the mortars, grenadiers and other weapons carried by the army itself, the artillery strength of the Japanese army under Yamashita Myokumjiro was actually at an absolute disadvantage at this time.

"Knock Knock Knock !!!"

The cannonballs smashed out of the cannon muzzle, and in the heavy snow, they drew a series of arcs that were terrified in the eyes of the little devil soldiers at the bottom of the mountain.

Blazing shells with long tail flames whizzed down from behind the mountain.

"Bagaya Road, hide quickly!! Quickly order the artillery squad and withdraw! Evacuate! ”

In a frightened look, Mikuma Jiro said urgently to the chief of staff beside him, Captain Nanki Taiyi.

It's just that at this time, Nanmu Taiyi also saw the artillery fire coming from the mountain, and his hands and feet were already cold. At this time, it was already useless, the shells had already been killed in an instant, and at this time, even if it was too late to send an order to transfer the artillery to the devils in the artillery position not far behind.

Sure enough, one after another, the shells smashed into the artillery position of his artillery squad under the terrified eyes of the two old devils.

Because in the artillery position, there were layers of shells stacked behind and near the artillery.

One of the cannonballs that came down from the mountain smashed into the neatly stacked devil shell box, causing a huge explosion!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!"

The huge explosion engulfed the artillery squad of Myokuma Jiro, and all the devil artillery soldiers were blown to pieces by the artillery fire, and several devil commanders such as the devil artillery squad leader were killed on the spot.

As a result of the cannonball's detonation, a huge shock wave nearly knocked Mikuma Jiro and Minamiki Taichi to the ground. However, the two old devils also lay down on the ground for the first time, so as not to be smashed by the fragments of the detonated shells and smashed out of a few holes in their bodies!

At this time, Miokuma Jiro had already ordered several squadrons of his infantry brigade to launch a comprehensive attack on the northern flank of the hilltop position occupied by He Yongjie on the mountain.

When the devil's artillery position was suppressed and blown up for the first time, the artillery unit of the fourth battalion under the command of Gao Deshan quickly reversed the direction of the artillery attack and launched a fierce artillery attack on the devil's infantry that had already rushed to the mountainside.

Without the cover of the artillery of the devil artillery position under the mountain, the devil infantry who had already killed the mountainside were suddenly bombed by the artillery fire of the fourth battalion of the new regiment on the mountain.

The charging devils are unable to advance or retreat at this time, and once they retreat, they are bound to be defeated. But rushing upwards is a bit of a self-defeating feeling.

At this time, Myokuma Jiro, who was transferring the headquarters, could only send a herald to let the charging devils continue to attack, because it was too late to retreat. Once retreated, the artillery fire of the four battalions on the mountain would chase the devil infantry who retreated down the mountain to carry out heavy artillery shelling.

At that time, the losses of his troops will be even worse. Therefore, you can only rush upward!

"Kill, kill, rush up. If you retreat, you can only be chased by the opponent's artillery fire! There will be heavy casualties! Hurry up and drop! ”

As soon as Myokuma Jiro stabilized his position, he immediately shouted orders at a few devil heralds.

Then, he immediately sent a flag bearer to wave the flag and directly ordered the devil squadron leaders who had killed each squadron on the mountainside to continue to storm the mountain.

Helplessly, the devil commanders of several squadrons of the devil infantry brigade who had received orders from Miokuma Jiro could only bite the bullet and continue to charge up despite the artillery bombardment of the fourth battalion with the artillery squad leader Gao Deshan.

"Hahaha, the little devil really doesn't know whether to live or die. Brothers, grenades, light and heavy machine guns, give me a hard beating! The devil is here! ”

At this time, He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, was on the edge of a trench, holding a telescope and watching the devils who had killed the mountainside, and he continued to brave the artillery fire of Gaode Mountain and continued to rush up, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Several soldiers who were close to He Yongjie's side shouted one after another, and then passed on to the soldiers on the edge of the trenches on both sides.

With Miokuma Jiro ordering the Japanese troops under his command to continue to rush up without the cover of artillery fire, He Yongjie naturally would not miss the favorable opportunity to condescendingly attack the devil soldiers who were sent to death.

In fact, without He Yongjie's special order, the soldiers of the four battalions, who had already been ready, used the weapons in their hands to aim at the devil soldiers who had been killed.

"Boom, boom!!!"

"Tutu, Tutu, Tutu, Tu Tu, Tu Tu, !!"

......

All kinds of submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, as well as mortars, and shells from infantry guns rained down from the mountains.

The overwhelming rain of bullets and shells fell together, completely drowning the murderous devil troops who rushed up.

Explosions and bullets kept taking away waves of charging devils, but the little devils had a strong will to recapture the hilltop position on the north flank.

In fact, Myokuma Jiro also kept strictly ordering not to retreat without authorization, otherwise he would be shot on the spot.

Under Gao Oshi's order, more than 1,000 devils of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division and the 4th Infantry Wing could only continue to rush up. But under the command of He Yongjie, under the condescending terrain and firepower advantage on the mountain, he was beaten to a level of exhaustion!

"Your Excellency Shaozo, order the troops to stop the attack for the time being! If we fight again, our 2nd Infantry Brigade will be completely annihilated! The strength of the enemy to sneak up on the hilltop position on the northern flank, at least the strength of one regiment! We only have more than 1,000 people, and our troops are still at a disadvantage! In the midst of the fierce battle, Captain Nanki Taiyi, the chief of staff of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, who was always watching the impact on the mountain, couldn't help but put down the binoculars in his hand and persuaded Myokuma Jiro in a low voice.

In the binoculars, Miokuma Jiro saw that the devil squadron that charged to the front of the two main peak positions on the mountain did not even make a wave, and was eaten clean by the opponent's condescending firepower superiority, and the corners of Miokuma Jiro's mouth twitched.

Unexpectedly, after the opponent quickly annihilated Yuji Yamato's troops, he was able to quickly enter a defensive posture. Moreover, the degree of defense is very strong, and it is simply an elite Eighth Route Army unit.

"Damn! Order the troops to stop the offensive! Withdraw! Chief of staff! ”

"Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Nanmu Taiyi.

"Send someone to the brigade commander to urgently ask for reinforcements, and inform the new regiment of troops that have raided the hilltop position on the northern flank is full of one regiment. And the combat effectiveness is strong, the defensive ability is very strong, our strong attack failed, ask for tactical guidance! ”
