Perhaps the last attack, the Japanese poured thousands of shells on the two heights defended by the Chinese army.

The powerful artillery shells were directly cut off by the position of the incense burner peak, and the first battalion could only hide in the anti-artillery holes of the anti-slope position and wait for the end of the Japanese artillery fire.

The Japanese troops from the 18th Division in front of them did not understand the anti-slope position.

The construction of this position is simple, but not many Chinese troops use it, but the 40th Division has been baptized by the defense of the fortress of Fuchikou, and most of the officers understand this.

This was a must in a defensive battle without artillery superiority, and only in this way could the Japanese army's artillery superiority be weakened.

No matter how you bomb, the Chinese troops located on the anti-slope will die in a negligible number from shelling.

The soldiers at the observation post risked their lives to observe the movements of the Japanese troops, and when they saw that the artillery fire had not ended, the Japanese troops began to attack under the cover of tanks and artillery.

"The devils have already begun to come up!"

Li Jichang was also surprised to hear that the Japanese army came up so quickly, obviously the Japanese army had changed its fighting style.

At this time, the Japanese army attacked, which meant that there was less time for the first battalion to prepare.

Looking at the few remaining soldiers, Li Jichang gritted his teeth, and when he heard that the sound of artillery had weakened, he ordered, "Hurry, hurry back to the position, don't let the Japanese army come up!" ”

Braving artillery fire, the soldiers of the first battalion quickly returned to their positions, and had already approached a distance of two hundred meters.

In front of them, there were at least two squadrons of Japanese troops, which was tantamount to a lot of pressure on the battalion with large casualties.

But after fighting for a while, Li Jichang found that the Japanese attack was not as sharp as before, so what happened to the Japanese artillery fire just now?

Similarly, Li Weiguo is also holding such doubts.

As a sniper, he quickly noticed the anomalies of these Japanese soldiers. But he didn't think about it anywhere else, after all, his combat experience was still somewhat lacking.

Just after he had changed two sniper points, he came to the rear of the position, near the ridge.

Because the view here is the best, and the bombing just now has formed a lot of craters, which is of great help to him to hide his body.

But just as he bent his waist and ran quickly to a crater on the ridge, before he could recover his combat posture, he saw a black group of people bending over and climbing up on their anticline position.

Is it reinforcements?

Li Weiguo did not dare to guarantee it, and was on the alert, he cautiously came to the edge of the crater and looked back.

When I saw the military uniforms of those people, my face changed greatly.

It's a devil!

Li Weiguo's face suddenly changed in fright, and he hurriedly shouted towards the front position.

"There's a devil in the back!"

"There's a devil in the back!"

shouted a few times, but was suppressed by the sound of gunfire, Li Weiguo couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly ran towards the front position, rolling and crawling, very embarrassed.

"Battalion... Battalion commander, the devil is coming up from behind! ”

Hearing that the devil came up from behind, Li Jichang was surprised, how could this be?

If the Japanese army came up from behind, the main position of the incense burner peak could be seen, but the main position of the incense burner peak did not remind it.

Without hesitation, Li Jichang immediately shouted, "Sanlian follow me!" ”

Saying that, Li Jichang carried the remaining dozens of soldiers of the third company of rifles and headed for the anticline position.

After arriving, Li Jichang took a look and found that the nearest devil was not less than fifty meters away from the mountaintop position, fortunately Li Weiguo found out, otherwise it would have been miserable.

Without thinking about it, Li Jichang directly raised his rifle and hit.

"Bang!"

After the gunshot, a cat-hedged figure fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the third company also looked for obstacles and began to shoot back.

As soon as these gunshots rang out, the Japanese knew that their whereabouts were exposed.

The Japanese naturally hoped to be able to rush into the hilltop position without being discovered by the Chinese army, and in order to take the position, the Japanese did not shoot in advance, but tried to hide their tracks as close to the hilltop position as possible.

However, at the sound of gunfire on the top of the mountain, the Japanese soldiers knew that their whereabouts were exposed, and these Japanese soldiers immediately lay on the ground to hide.

The Japanese did not attack immediately, but took out a grenade and threw it towards the mountain.

This is a tactic that the Japanese army is very good at, and the effect is also remarkable.

As soon as Li Jichang fired two shots, he saw something black flying up.

The experienced man knew that it was a grenade, so he immediately yelled, "Get down!" At the same time, he quickly fell to the ground.

"Boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another, and the soldiers of the third company lowered their bodies to avoid the explosion.

"Throw a grenade!"

Li Jichang knew that after the grenade, the Japanese army would charge.

The distance of 50 meters is not long, but it is not short.

Fortunately, this is an uphill slope, and if the Japanese army wants to rush up, it still takes dozens of seconds, which gives the three companies time to react.

Soon, dozens of soldiers pulled dozens of grenades and threw them.

This was a hard-fought duel, and taking advantage of this skill, Li Jichang threw three grenades in succession, and then lay down and installed a bayonet on the rifle.

At this time, the advantages of grenades over grenades come out.

In this kind of terrain, it is easy to roll down, so some of the grenades of the Japanese army did not fall to the predetermined location, but rolled back a few meters.

But this group of Japanese troops was obviously more experienced, and did not throw the grenade at the first moment, but two seconds apart.

This ensures that it explodes when it hits the ground.

The Japanese army did not expect that the Chinese army would carry out a grenade counterattack so quickly, and the Japanese army who originally wanted to throw the second round of grenades had not yet thrown it, but the Chinese army took the lead in throwing the second round.

Li Jichang threw three grenades quickly.

Seeing that the Chinese army was so difficult, and the Japanese troops at the front were less than 20 meters away from the positions of the Chinese troops, many Japanese soldiers rushed up directly with bayonets, intending to rush into the positions of the Chinese troops in one fell swoop.

And during this interval when the Japanese army gave up throwing grenades, the soldiers of the third company basically raised their guns.

More than a dozen Japanese soldiers howled and rushed up from the smoke and dust, but as the gunshots rang out, the dozen or so Japanese soldiers fell on the way to charge as soon as they rushed out of the smoke and dust.

The soldiers of the third company were obviously very experienced, and they did not all fire at the same time, but formed a succession to shoot, which could ensure that the fire was not weakened.

However, the heavy machine gun and the two light machine guns kept firing, wantonly harvesting the Japanese soldiers who were obscured by the smoke and dust of the grenade explosion.

Although they couldn't see clearly, the machine guns were not used for accurate fire, they were used to suppress the charging Japanese troops.

"Grenades!"

After killing many Japanese soldiers in the front row, Li Jichang shouted again while raising his gun to shoot.

At such a short distance, the Japanese army will definitely rush up, and grenades must be used to suppress the Japanese charge and reduce the pressure of the next white-knuckle battle.
