Seeing that the puppet army had two infantry companies of nearly 400 people bent down to the foot of the mountain, and several infantry guns were also pushed by the puppet army to hide behind the rocks, the heavy machine guns on both wings 1000 meters away also began to aim this side, and some grenadiers also hid within 500 meters of the range.

Wang Hechun knew that the puppet army's attack was about to begin.

"Old Duan, you go to the left flank position of the third company, and order the third company to hide in a temporary trench, and you are not allowed to shoot without entering the 150-meter range." Wang Hechun quickly ordered his deputy, not allowing the deputy to refute, and looked at Li Guobin beside him: "Guobin, Company Commander Zhou is seriously injured, you are now acting as the commander of the first company, although you are guarding the right flank, but because the right flank position is relatively flat, your first company may be the most difficult, do you have the confidence to hold it." ”

"Report to the battalion commander, I can't guarantee whether I can hold the position, but I can guarantee that the position will still be in the hands of my company before the soldiers of the first company are not killed." The young lieutenant gave the answer with a blank look.

"Good! Then there you go! Wang Hechun roared softly. Except for the observation post, all the rest hid in the trenches, and were not allowed to raise their heads without orders. ”

Although they are two devils, Wang Hechun also estimates that their routines are similar to those of genuine devils. Before the attack, there must be a set of fire suppression, although there is no mountain artillery, infantry artillery is indispensable, and I don't know how many heavy machine guns, and because the No. 1 high ground is a temporary trench, the deepest part is only thigh-deep Qi, which can barely lie down a person, that is, the bushes are quite deep, which can block the sight of the devils under the mountain, but there are advantages and disadvantages, and it also blocks their sight.

However, Liu Lang obviously took this problem into account, and as early as the early morning meeting, he asked each high ground to be equipped with an observation post above the position, and the observation post should bring the trumpet that each infantry company has, and use the horn to convey the approximate position to the infantry who could not see the enemy's arrival position in the position below.

In other words, although it is already daytime, the attacking and defending sides are still playing hide and seek in the dense forest, except that the Chinese infantry on each high ground is equipped with enough eyes.

Of course, on the other hand, Li Shoushan is not a straw bag, and he also discovered this problem, so after nearly 800 people from the five infantry companies he invested entered the attack position, he ordered the 6 infantry guns under his command to stay 1500 meters away to fire first, and applied to Suzuki Mitsu for infantry artillery fire support from the Japanese army.

Thinking that the horses could not give the horses grazing when they ran, Suzuki Mitsu readily approved the four infantry guns of an artillery squad of the infantry wing under his command to listen to his deployment.

The Type 92 infantry gun is a direct-aiming gun similar to a cannon, but the reason why this gun can be called the most excellent light artillery on the Chinese battlefield is because when this gun is erected at a large elevation angle, it can also be used as a curved gun, which is a multi-functional artillery.

Initial website: m.

Li Shoushan's purpose is very simple, that is, to use artillery to open an open field on the hillside first, at least to be able to roughly see the specific position of the defenders.

Don't look at the weight of the projectile of the infantry artillery is not heavy, but the power is not small, 10 guns in a curved way to shoot the shells, but also blow up the hillside with gunsmoke, shrubs were blown away, trees were blown off, and a mess was in shambles.

Fortunately, the Japanese artillery did not have any specific goals, that is, to fire at the middle and high end of the hillside, plus Wang Hechun ordered early to let all the infantry hide in the trenches, and most of the infantry in the middle were hiding in the cave, so there were basically no casualties in the continuous half-hour shelling, and two or three unlucky ones were smashed by the stones that fell from the pine on the hillside, fortunately, the slope of this hillside was only thirty or forty degrees, which was not steep, and there were trees to block it, Otherwise, just the rolling rocks blown away by the shells would have made them desperate in a defensive position fifty or sixty meters from the top of the mountain.

However, the mountain artillery arranged by Liu Lang on both flanks did not support the No. 1 heights, no matter how the artillery of the Japanese army and the puppet army raged, they were as stable as Mount Tai and did not have the slightest intention of participating in the war.

Not to mention that the mountain artillery did not appear, the two machine guns assigned to the No. 1 heights, Wang Hechun were still hidden in the cave and did not take them out.

Although the two have not discussed each other in this regard, both of them have the potential to become excellent commanders, and they invariably hide their hole cards.

Before the battle started, he exposed his hole cards, so what will he play in the future? Although neither of them could tell how long the battle would last, the trait of not showing their hole cards until the last minute was destined to keep them going long enough.

In fact, the eventual development of the war situation proved them right.

Therefore, the Japanese artillery shelled the entire hillside for more than 40 minutes without any hindrance, and from a distance, the green hillside was blown yellow and black, like a colorful oil painting.

Only the Chinese soldiers in the vicinity knew that the yellow was the blasted dirt, and the black was the rocks that had been torn off the turf by the air waves, and that was only the beginning of the tragedy.

After the infantry artillery shelling, it was the infantry that went into the attack.

Just as Wang Hechun had guessed, Li Shoushan really regarded the flatter right wing as the direction of the key breakthrough, rather than the front.

There was an infantry company on the left flank that was engaged in a feint, and the front was also an infantry company, but an infantry company was left to cover the flanks and rear, but on the right flank, two infantry companies were thrown in at once.

After the five infantry companies that entered the battlefield, there were at least six infantry companies and two full-fledged infantry battalions on standby.

Eight heavy machine guns began to suppress the defenders' positions exposed at the top of the hill, and light machine-gun fire teams followed the infantry into the battlefield, following seventy or eighty meters behind the infantry, ready to provide fire support to the blocked infantry.

In the first battle of the Fengtian Independent Brigade, Li Shoushan dispatched seven or eight hundred men and horses, with a vigorous posture of preparing to defeat the 1st Battalion in one fell swoop.

This is really not that Li Shoushan is eager to make meritorious service and does not care about the life and death of the soldiers under his command, but from the equipment configuration on the bright side, the Fengtian Independent Brigade is much stronger than the second battalion.

Li Shoushan has reason to believe that the Chinese army, which already lacks heavy firepower, has to make a surprise attack in the dark of night, and the heavy firepower is even less pitiful.

Li Shoushan is considered a veteran soldier, and his judgment should have been quite correct.

But he didn't know that he was facing the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division, and there was an old tradition in the Chinese army, and whoever brought 1 was the trump card of the unit to which he belonged.

In order to allow Liu Lang to successfully attack the Japanese artillery position and bring him back a few mountain guns, the lieutenant general of the army made a bloody investment, not only sent his own guard company, but even set up his ace infantry battalion.

Otherwise, he would not have been furious after seeing Liu Lang's telegram that he was going to fight to the death against the Japanese army. Put that aside, you have to catch your two elites overnight, and you can't die of distress?

This time, Li Shoushan is destined to hit the iron plate headlong because of his calculation error, and there are nails on the iron plate.
