Chapter 440: The Battle of Yellow Cliff Cave (Final Chapter)
"Reloaded!"
"Reloaded!"
“……”
"Launch!"
Liu Gen and the others acted quickly, and after reloading the rocket artillery, they launched another attack on the devil's artillery position.
And this time the attack on the devil artillery position again also made the devil artillery and the devils in the surrounding area discover the location of Liu Gen and others, and the devil artillery faced the incoming rockets and forcibly launched a counterattack against Liu Gen and others.
At the same time, the devils in the surrounding area also quickly attacked the location of Liu Gen and the others, and they also knew the news that the artillery position was under attack. When it was discovered that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army appeared on the periphery of Huangya Cave, the devils in the surrounding area knew that this was their mistake, and they were not prepared enough, otherwise the artillery of the Eighth Route Army would not have easily appeared in this area.
"Reload again! Fast! And one more round of attacks! Liu Gen shouted loudly.
The artillerymen present were once again in action, and they picked up rocket after rocket and reloaded it as fast as they could. In order to be able to complete the loading in the shortest possible time, everyone was extremely nervous and did not have the slightest time to breathe.
Liu Gen is also constantly acting, he is the backbone of everyone, and he is trying his best to make his greatest contribution in the loading of rocket artillery. But after all, there is only one Liu Gen, and even with his help, the time for the rocket launcher to be reloaded will take a minute.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
In the air, there were black dots, which were counterattacks from the devil artillery, and after they discovered the location of Liu Gen and the others, they braved the attack of rocket artillery and counterattacked. These devil artillerymen knew very well that an artillery battle was inevitable, unless they were willing to abandon the heavy artillery and mountain artillery on the artillery positions, but this was undoubtedly something that was simply impossible.
It's just that after receiving a round of attack from rocket artillery, there are not many artillery pieces that the devils can counterattack, only about half of them remain, of course, and this is only the number of heavy artillery and mountain artillery. Coupled with the mortars and infantry guns in the hands of the devils, there will still be dozens of artillery pieces in the hands of the devils.
Among them, there are only two or three artillery pieces that the devils can control in time to counterattack, but the devils still choose to counterattack strongly, in order to keep the heavy artillery and mountain artillery in the artillery position, they can only take the lead in destroying the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, only in this way can the safety of the heavy artillery mountain artillery position be guaranteed.
"Get down! Get down! Devil's shells! Liu Gen was the first to discover the attacking devil shells, and he shouted loudly.
Liu Gen and the others lay on the ground, they couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat, there are still unloaded rockets on this high ground, even if those loaded rockets, if they are really hit by devil shells, then Liu Gen and the others are afraid that they will be blown up directly into the sky. Many soldiers couldn't help but close their eyes, and there was a little more fear on their faces, with the caliber of the devil's heavy artillery, it was completely conceivable the power of the devil's heavy artillery.
Only one cannon is needed, and the devil only needs one cannon to land on this high ground, so he can directly kill Liu Gen and the others.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The cannonball fell violently, and a cannonball fell not far from Liu Gen and the others, and the wind pressure brought by the explosion of the cannonball made Liu Gen and the others feel like they were going to suffocate. And the huge sound of the shell exploding made the ears of Liu Gen and others buzz.
"Quick! Hurry! Fast! After the explosion, Liu Gen got up and shouted.
The soldiers lying on the ground were dazed, their ears were ringing, and they couldn't hear what Liu Gen said at all, but everyone reacted quickly and knew what they should do. Soon, everyone present quickly got up and began to reload the rocket launcher again.
This time the devil artillery failed to hit Liu Gen and others, so the devil will not have the next chance, when the devil artillery launched a counterattack, Liu Gen had already grasped the specific location of the three guns of the devil. With Liu Gen's technique, he had a clear impression in his mind in a short time that one of the mountain cannons should be covered by the second round of rockets and hit and would be directly destroyed.
Next, Liu Gen's third round of attacks was about to go towards the other two artillery pieces of the devil, and these two artillery pieces, one was a mountain artillery and the other was a heavy artillery.
As soon as the devils counterattacked, the second round of rocket attacks had already hit their positions again, this time the devils once again had heavy artillery mountain artillery that was blown up, and only two heavy artillery and mountain artillery that could still be used were left.
"Yaga! Yaga! The artillery of the Eighth Route Army was too accurate, there were only two artillery pieces left, and we were powerless to continue the counterattack! ”
"Withdraw from your positions! Withdraw from the position!
“……”
On the Devil Artillery Position, the Devil Artillery Commander shouted loudly, and he ordered the artillery on the position to retreat immediately so that they could survive. The devil commander didn't know if Liu Gen and the others would continue to attack, but in any case, it would be very dangerous to continue to stay in the artillery position.
Under the orders of the commander of the devil artillery, the devil artillery kept running out of the position, and they almost exerted their fastest speed. As artillerymen, these devil artillerymen undoubtedly know the situation on the artillery position, and there are a lot of shells on the position, and it was because the rockets of the Eighth Route Army failed to hit these shells before, which is why these shells did not explode.
But now, it is very likely that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army will attack again, and at the same time, there are also raging flames burning on the position, and these flames may also detonate the shells on the position, and it is undoubtedly extremely unsafe to continue to stay on the position.
"Your Excellency, Commander, are you not withdrawing from the artillery positions?" Some devil artillerymen found that the commander who ordered the evacuation had not yet evacuated, so they couldn't help but ask.
The devil commander shook his head and said, "You go first, as your commander, it was my mistake to fail to pay enough attention to the artillery of the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"I want to seize the last opportunity to determine the position of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army again and counterattack them again!"
Hearing the commander's words, this devil artilleryman had some intention and wanted to stay with him to make a final counterattack, but the devil commander refused. In the end, this devil artillery could only leave, but he did not leave the artillery position too far, he wanted to see the commander's last attack with his own eyes.
……
"Launch!" At this time, Liu Gen and others completed the loading of the three rocket launchers, and with Liu Gen's order, the three rocket launchers were fired again.
After all the rockets in the three rocket launchers were fired, Liu Gen took the prepared soldiers and left directly with the three rocket launchers. Liu Gen didn't dare to stay in any way, and if he stayed in this area for a second longer, then they would be even more dangerous.
"Quick! Leave as fast as you can, Company Commander Sun, and then our safety will be handed over to you. Liu Gen came to the side of Company Commander Sun, who was in charge of protection, and said solemnly.
Company Commander Sun's expression was solemn, but he still opened his mouth and promised: "Principal Liu, don't worry, as long as our company is still there, then we will definitely be able to protect everyone's safety!" When we left the Yellow Cliff Cave, we were ready to die in battle, and even if we fought to the death, we would send you back to the Yellow Cliff Cave. ”
Liu Gen looked solemn, raised his hand and saluted, and left as fast as possible with the artillerymen, he knew that only by leaving with the artillerymen would the pressure on Company Commander Sun and them be reduced a lot. Only in this way can the casualties of the fighters be reduced.
"Faster! Speed up! Liu Gen shouted loudly again.
In order to speed up the transfer with the three rocket artillery, Liu Gen decisively bent down and pushed the rocket artillery hard to speed up the transfer of the rocket artillery. With Liu Gen's joining, the speed of the rocket artillery movement has obviously accelerated a lot, and when the others saw this scene, they couldn't help but grit their teeth and try their best to push the rocket artillery forward.
Liu Gen was very tired, and the other artillerymen who were pushing the rocket artillery forward were also very hard, and it seemed that the short three rounds of attacks did not consume too much energy for everyone. But every time the rocket launcher is loaded, it will cost the fighters a lot of physical strength, even if the rocket is not heavy, only eighteen attacks.
But after three rounds, everyone's physical strength is still a lot of consumption, among which Liu Gen and others consume the most is not physical strength, but their energy. This kind of battle makes Liu Gen and others need to maintain enough concentration at all times, so as to reduce mistakes.
And staying focused at all times will inevitably consume a lot of energy, and after the completion of the three rounds of shelling, the tense spirit of Liu Gen and the others suddenly relaxed. If this situation happens to ordinary people, then it may be unbearable.
Even if Liu Gen and the others used all their strength, the speed of the three rocket launchers was not fast, but it only took less than half an hour for Liu Gen and the others to successfully retreat to the Yellow Cliff Cave.
It's just that Liu Gen didn't know if Company Commander Sun and they would be able to hold out for half an hour, he could hear dense gunfire not far away, obviously, Company Commander Sun and they had already exchanged fire with the devils. Liu Gen knew that such a firefight would only become more and more intense, and there were still many devils who were constantly rushing towards this area.
On the Devil's artillery position, the Devil's Commander saw the rockets flying in the air, and looking at the direction in which the rockets were flying, he once again determined the location of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army. After fine-tuning the angle of the heavy artillery that had already been adjusted to a certain angle, the devil commander began his last shelling.
Less than three seconds after he completed the last shelling, the rockets fell from the sky, completely covering the location of the devil commander, and the roaring explosions rang out, and the continuous explosion of rockets brought high temperatures, almost melting the steel on the heavy artillery.
The high temperature brought by the rocket explosion turned the devil's artillery position into a sea of fire, this time the shells left by the devil on the position could no longer be spared, with the continuous explosion sound on the devil's artillery position, the heavy artillery and mountain artillery on the position were damaged again,
This time, even if the devil artillery wanted to repair the damaged heavy artillery mountain artillery, it would be impossible. In the high temperature of the artillery position, the steel on the heavy artillery mountain guns was almost melted, not to mention that these guns had been blown up by rockets before.
"Boom"
The shells from the devil's 150mm caliber heavy artillery fell on the position where Liu Gen and the others were before, and exploded violently, and suddenly, sand and stones splashed everywhere, and when the smoke dissipated, an obvious crater appeared in the same place.
"Damn, it's a good thing we retreated in time, otherwise we would have been left here." After a soldier looked back, he said with a sigh of relief.
Liu Gen glanced at the people present, and could see that they all had obvious happiness on their faces, thinking that after today's battle, they would all understand the importance of timely transfer. With the power of the devil's heavy artillery, if it really falls among Liu Gen and the others, then I am afraid that there are few people who can survive.
Even if he can survive, he should still be seriously injured, and with the medical conditions of Huangya Cave, in the case of serious injuries, the chances of successfully surviving are not great.
The battle of Company Commander Sun and the others continued, they were constantly blocking the devil troops who came to this area, at this time, Company Commander Sun was a little lucky, he was very glad that he was well prepared. In several directions in this area, certain mines are arranged.
When laying out the mines, Company Commander Sun thought that there was a possibility of being discovered by the devils, but when it really happened, he found that he still underestimated the madness of the devils. The devil troops were like crazy, constantly rushing towards this area, and in a short period of time, more than one infantry squadron of devils attacked.
Now, Company Commander Sun only hoped that he could buy enough time for Liu Gen and his evacuation, and as for the success of these people back to the Yellow Cliff Cave, Company Commander Sun did not have much hope. With the madness of these devils, you don't have to think about it to know that it is impossible for devils to let them go easily.
The battle continued, and the soldiers of a company continued to suffer casualties in the process of blocking the attack, and in less than half an hour, more than half of them were killed or wounded.
"Withdraw!"
Company Commander Sun received news from a soldier that Liu Gen and the others had successfully returned to the Yellow Cliff Cave, and now they could retreat. After learning the news, Company Commander Sun did not dare to hesitate, he knew that if he hesitated for a second, more soldiers would be sacrificed.
The soldiers retreated in the direction of Huangya Cave under the leadership of Company Commander Sun, and the devil was constantly pursuing in the back, after realizing the intentions of Company Commander Sun and others, the devil sent a small force to complete the outflanking, but was met by the reinforcements sent by the special service group.
With the cover of reinforcements, Company Commander Sun successfully led the soldiers back to the Yellow Cliff Cave, but after they returned to the Yellow Cliff Cave, Commander Ou and Liu Gen couldn't help but fall silent. Liu Gen and the others could see that the casualties of Company Commander Sun's company exceeded two-thirds, and the entire company was disabled.
"I regret it." After a moment of silence, Liu Gen said bitterly.
Commander Ou patted Liu Gen's shoulder vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "In the battle, sacrifice is inevitable, you have successfully killed the devil's heavy artillery and mountain artillery positions, which will greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and will be of great help to the defense of our special service group." ”
"All the sacrifices are worth it, you don't have to blame yourself, you did it well enough."
After saying this, Regiment Commander Ou walked towards Company Commander Sun and them, and he needed to ask about the specific situation. Commander Ou knew Company Commander Sun's ability, and with his ability, even if he dealt with the attack of an infantry squadron of devils, there would not be such a large casualty.
But what is going on with such a large number of casualties among the soldiers this time? Head Ou didn't understand.
Outside the Yellow Cliff Cave, the devil troops were in action, and the heavy artillery and mountain artillery destroyed by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army could not affect their attack. On the contrary, the heavy artillery mountain artillery was destroyed by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, which made the devils become extremely crazy in the attack, among which the two wings of the 36th Division of the devils were the most obvious.
On the 13th, under the frantic attack of the devils, they successfully captured and occupied the 1461 heights of Taohuazhai. After running out of ammunition, 18 warriors of the 4th company and 1st platoon of the special service regiment stationed at the top of the cliff engaged the devils in short combat, and because they were outnumbered, 11 warriors were attached one after another, and were forced to withdraw to the bottom of the ditch at the east entrance of Huangya Cave to lay mines.
On the 14th, the devils concentrated mortars and infantry artillery and bombarded the east entrance of Huangya Cave indiscriminately, trying to destroy the mine array arranged by the special task force, but even if the devils consumed a large number of shells for shelling, it was difficult to attack, and a large number of fortifications made the devil's mortars and infantry artillery somewhat powerless and unable to destroy them.
Relying on the fortifications, the special task force constantly blocked the attacking devils, causing a lot of damage to the devils. It took the devil an afternoon to advance two hundred meters. During this period, the devil worked hard, entered the minefield arranged by the secret service group, and blew the devil on his back.
On the 15th, the devils launched a strong attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal in three ways, in order to be able to attack the Huangyadong Arsenal, the devils used various methods, they took a ladder up the cliff, in an attempt to directly attack the core position of the special service group.
The Eighth Company of the Special Service Regiment, which was responsible for defending the Shuijiaokou position, fought bravely under the condition of recovering the ground on three sides, fought desperately with the devils, and repelled seven attacks by the devils in a row. During this period, Liu Gen also led the artillery of the special service regiment to carry out artillery bombardment on the devils, but due to the lack of shells, Liu Gen and other artillery failed to cause too many casualties to the devils, and only destroyed a few devils' mortars and some grenadiers.
But even so, Liu Gen and the others successfully helped the soldiers of the special mission group to defend reduce some of the pressure, but the pressure on the soldiers was still very great.
Seeing that they could not make effective progress for a long time, the devils were angry and used all their mortars and infantry guns to launch shelling again, but for the soldiers of the special service group hiding in the fortifications, there was a feeling of thunder and rain.
Just when Liu Gen also thought that the devil's artillery bombardment would not be too much of a problem, several devil fighters appeared in the air, and the failure of the front-line devil troops to attack Huangyadong made Iwamatsu Yoshio choose to use the aviation unit. Aerial bombs continued to fall from the devil's planes, and in the blink of an eye, many of the special service group's fortifications were directly blown up, and flames rose everywhere in Huangya Cave.
In the face of the devil fighter, Liu Gen and the others had no way, even if he wanted to cause a certain deterrent to the devil fighter, but he had no cannonball in his hand, and there was no way. Moreover, these devil fighters have also learned the lessons of the previous ones, and they are much smarter than before by easily not flying at low altitudes.
In case of emergency, Mr. Peng sent a telegram from the headquarters: The enemy just wants to 'visit' the arsenal, and let them climb in after your machines have retreated.
Zuo Quan's deputy chief of general staff even emphatically said that in order to expand the results of the battle, we must use static braking and all troops to retreat to the second line to lure the enemy into depth.
On the evening of the 17th, the soldiers of the special service regiment, under the command of Commander Ou, withdrew from their defensive positions.
In the early morning of the 18th, the devil was able to enter the Huangyadong Arsenal, but when the devil entered the Huangyadong Arsenal, he didn't even see a single hair, let alone the arsenal machine, which couldn't even see a shadow.
