Chapter 1205: Consecutive Frustrations (First Update!) )
Months of training in the garrison regiment were not in vain.
After a brief panic, the troops returned to order, and the seven light machine guns equipped with the whole company, in groups of two, counterattacked against the bullets fired from the fire point.
Mortar squads, grenadier squads, quickly set up guns, and then carry out aimed fire.
At this time, the smoke of gunpowder that shrouded the battlefield had thinned out a lot.
Faintly speaking, the three machine gun tongues fired by the Japanese could be seen coming from three different firing holes in a bunker.
Although the bullets fired by the light machine guns were dense, most of them hit the walls of the bunker.
It looks like sparks are splashing around, and it's very scary.
But apart from leaving white spots on the walls of the bunker, nothing else was achieved.
Even if a bullet drilled into the shooting hole and hit the machine gunner behind the machine gun, the heavy machine gun called Zhenghuan only stopped for two or three seconds before resuming firing.
In this case, the company commander could only pin his hopes on mortars and grenadiers in the back.
"Boom ......"
The sound of shelling sounded behind him, and the company commander lay on the ground, his eyes fixed on the dark bunker dozens of meters away, wanting to see the effect of the shelling for the first time.
"Boom ......"
The cannonball smashed accurately on the bunker, and the moment the fire flew, white smoke and black smoke rose from the point of explosion.
Three heavy machine guns were muted at the same time and lost their movement.
The company commander's face was overjoyed, he thought that the mortar was useful, and was just about to order the troops to continue the assault, and took the opportunity to rush forward, when the machine-gun strafing sound that he least wanted to hear sounded again......
"The mortars continue to shoot, and I don't believe that the devil's bunker is really impregnable." The company commander slammed his fist on the ground and ordered through gritted teeth.
It was the only way he could think of destroying the bunker.
The garrison regiment attacked the position, and as soon as the three machine gun tongues came out of the devil's position, Li Hao's face changed.
"It's not good, there are still bunkers on the position that haven't been destroyed."
"The attacking troops immediately retreated, and the mortars and light and heavy machine guns they were armed with could not hit the bunker, only heavy artillery and explosives packs could destroy it."
"Covered by heavy machine-gun fire, the attacking troops immediately retreated."
"Draw out a company from the heavy artillery battalion and blast out the remaining bunker for me."
The fire of the three light and heavy machine guns fired together was too fierce, and the attacking troops were so close to the bunker that they could be hit by a bullet whizzing overhead.
Ten minutes later, the attacking troops withdrew from the battlefield in the presence of Li Hao.
But at least twenty warriors fell forever on the way to attack and retreat.
"Boom ......"
Heavy artillery shells with rage smashed steadily near the newly exposed bunker.
Under the reflection of the splashing firelight, the true face of the dark castle was completely exposed in front of Li Hao's eyes.
It is no more than two meters tall, and it is completely covered in cement and stone, which makes it look very sturdy.
The four firing holes scattered on the outer wall of the bunker were made in a diamond shape to maximize the firing range and protect the Heavy inside.
From a distance, the shooting holes of these black holes looked like four big monsters with their mouths wide open, devouring all the Eighth Route Army that wanted to attack them.
It took three minutes for the four heavy guns to fire sixty rounds of heavy artillery shells before stopping.
"In terms of attacking troops, occupy the first-line positions of the devils in the shortest possible time." Li Hao held up the binoculars and ordered with a serious face.
This time the attack went unexpected.
"Regiment commander, the troops have rushed up, do you want to continue to attack the top of the mountain." Hong Linfeng's frowning brows quickly stretched and asked with excitement.
"Go on the offensive ......," Li Hao replied.
"In addition to scaring the devils in the stronghold with strong strength, we must also constantly put pressure on them, so that they will be anxious and keep asking nearby friendly troops for reinforcements?"
Five minutes later, the attacking forces reformed into an offensive formation.
The fighters, lined up in a skirmish line and armed with guns, continued to approach the hill.
Soon they crossed the front-line positions, and the process did not hit anything.
After rushing forward for more than twenty meters, the familiar sound of machine-gun fire rang out again.
Four tongues of fire of varying thickness suddenly emerged from a bush less than fifty meters in front of the attacking troops.
Bullets rained down and flew towards everyone.
The attacking troops fell almost ten fighters on the spot.
"Get down...... Concealed ......," shouted the leading company commander holding a box cannon.
"Machine gun cover, mortar, grenadier shooting, knock out these four firing points for me."
"Boom ......" two groups of shells continued to smash near the firing point, bushes, dirt, and along with the flying firelight, they were blasted into the sky, and then the goddess scattered flowers everywhere.
"With such fierce artillery fire, the devil machine gunner must have been blown to minced meat!" Seeing that the four firing points dozens of meters away were all dumb, the company commander thought to himself.
Half-crouched and got up from the ground, holding the box cannon, and with a strong swing forward, he ordered: "The troops continue to attack forward." ”
"Comrades, kill ...... with me," one of the nearest platoon commanders roared and got up from the ground.
Dozens of soldiers followed, and rushed to the still smoke-filled firepower point in a posture of hungry wolves, wanting to tear the devils there into minced flesh and avenge the comrades who had just died.
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of machine-gun fire rang out again, and four tongues of fire came straight out of the smoke.
Dozens of fighters who had just gotten up were caught off guard and were killed and wounded, including the platoon commander who rushed to the front.
A heavy machine gun bullet went in the chest and out in the back, leaving a fist-sized hole in his body.
Without a word, he fell to the ground.
"Get down...... Get down quickly, the devil's firepower is still ......" The company commander ordered with both heartache and anxiety.
A pair of eyes were red and red, and they played with their teeth and shouted: "The artillery continues to fire......"
"Stop firing!" The instructor not far away ordered.
Then he looked at the company commander and explained: "There was a signal to retreat the year after tomorrow, and the higher authorities ordered us to stop the offensive and evacuate the battlefield......"
The company commander slammed his fist on the ground, and in anger he ordered with reluctance: "Machine gun cover, retreat......"
This time, the attacking force lost more than two infantry squads.
On the offensive position, the serious expression on Li Hao's face had been replaced by heaviness.
The attacking troops were attacked by the devils at close range twice in a row, and suffered heavy casualties, and even fools could detect that it was extraordinary.
At this time, the heavy artillery battalion roared again.
Li Hao hurriedly raised the binoculars, and under the light of the fire generated by the explosion, the hidden fortress hidden in the bushes finally revealed its lineup, and then was blown into ruins under the attack of one shell after another.
"Regiment commander, the bunker has been destroyed, do you want the troops to continue to attack the mountain."
"Wait a minute!" Li Hao shook his head and replied.
Then he shifted his gaze to Zhou Liang, the communications platoon commander who was fiddling with the radio station behind him.
