However, after more than ten seconds, the smile on the corner of Toshizo Tsuchiya's mouth quickly froze.

Because, the Chinese army had already rushed to the Japanese army's hidden fire points, and those three hidden fire points also opened fire, and indeed suppressed the charge of the national army.

However, this suppression lasted less than ten seconds.

Toshizo Tsuchiya originally expected that these three hidden firepower points would inflict heavy damage on the national army, stop him for three or five hours, and kill hundreds of people, but the cruel reality gave him an incomparably heavy blow.

I saw that three tongues of fire suddenly shot out from the positions of the Chinese army.

These three tongues of fire are so dazzling that they almost illuminate the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.

Then, these three dazzling tongues of fire "licked" the three hidden firepower points built by the Tsuchiya Brigade at the foot of the mountain, and then, the hidden firepower points built at great cost turned into three flames!

Looking at the flames that suddenly bloomed under the night, Toshizo Tsuchiya instantly shut down.

What's going on? What weapons did the Chinese use? Actually destroyed three of their hidden firing points in an instant?

Before Toshizo Tsuchiya came to his senses, the Chinese army at the foot of the mountain had already continued to advance forward, taking advantage of the cover of night, with this unknown weapon, the Chinese's surprise attack was extremely fierce!

It only took less than half an hour for the first line of defense at the foot of the weighing stone mountain to be declared lost.

A squadron that held the first line of defense at the foot of the hill was also killed or wounded, and less than fifty men retreated to the mountainside.

Because it all happened so fast, it was so fast that Toshizo Tsuchiya didn't even have time to dispatch the squadron that was ambushing the mountainside.

However, there was no need to make a move now, because the Chinese army immediately launched a fierce attack on the mountainside formation of Mt. Scale, and Toshizo Tsuchiya immediately ordered the squadron that was ambushed on the mountainside to put it into defense.

……

Five hundred meters away on the opposite side, Zhong Yi and Cao Guolin were watching the battle.

Seeing the rapid progress of the 2nd Battalion and 2nd Company that had been engaged in the counteroffensive, Cao Guolin felt extremely excited.

"Holy shit, let you be arrogant." Cao Guolin said hesitantly, "You can't be arrogant now, right?" ”

Li Weifan, deputy commander of the 2nd Battalion next to him, said: "Tuanza, the combat effectiveness of the little devils is still very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the 5th Division is particularly strong. ”

Cao Guolin said: "No matter how strong you are, won't you be beaten into a gray grandson by us now?" ”

Li Weifan said: "That's because we used bazookas, and the devil's firepower advantage is mainly reflected in the artillery firepower level, the individual firepower is actually far inferior to our army, and in the night battle, the devil's artillery firepower is difficult to play a role, but our army's individual firepower can be fully and effectively played." ”

Zhong Yi bowed his head slightly, because Li Weifan was on the point.

The devil's individual combat effectiveness is strong, but it is also limited compared to the national army, and what the devil is really stronger than the national army is its artillery firepower!

Each division of the devil has a field artillery or mountain artillery wing.

Each infantry wing has an infantry gun, a mountain artillery, and a squadron of anti-aircraft artillery.

Each infantry battalion also had an artillery squad, armed with 2 92 infantry guns plus 2 90 mortars, in addition to this, each infantry squadron was armed with at least 6 50mm caliber grenadiers.

Such artillery support firepower is, of course, incomparable with the Soviets, Americans, and Germans, but it is many times stronger than the national army, so the national army can't withstand it at all!

But artillery has a fatal flaw, at least in this era, before the advent of red sighting equipment, there was no way for artillery to lock on and fire at night.

So, as soon as it was night, the artillery of the little devils immediately turned into an ornament.

This is also the main reason why there were many successful night battles in the Nationalist Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because in night battles, the devils' combat effectiveness could not be brought into full play at all.

For the same reason, the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division at night is less than fifty percent!

On the other hand, for the first time, the Coastal Defense Corps used bazookas in actual combat, and it was easy to carry out targeted elimination of the firepower points of the little devils, and the results are self-evident.

……

Halfway up the mountain.

In less than half an hour, the devil guarding the mountainside looked like he couldn't stand it again.

"Whoa!" With a burst of breaking sound, another dazzling tongue of fire flew from the front, accurately hitting the heavy machine gun position less than ten meters away from Toshizo Tsuchiya.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy machine gun position exploded.

Toshizo Tsuchiya was also tossed to the ground by the air wave from the explosion, and when he got up and looked at it again, he saw that the entire heavy machine gun position was already in shambles.

A Type 92 heavy machine gun, which was originally good, has been blown into a lump of scrap metal.

The entire machine gun group guarding the heavy machine gun position, the eight imperial soldiers were also collectively broken.

Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Toshizo Tsuchiya couldn't believe his eyes.

What kind of weapons is the Chinese army using? It's powerful, and it's still so accurate?

From the time the Chinese army launched a night counterattack just now, it was almost a point of fire with one cannon, and it rarely missed!

What makes Toshizo Tsuchiya even more unbelievable is that this mysterious artillery of the Chinese seems to be able to accompany the infantry to charge, which is very terrifying.

Could it be a new type of grenadier?

A grenadier with direct fire?

Just when Toshizo Tsuchiya was frightened, the orderlies hurriedly ran over and reported: "Captain, the Shina army is up!" ”

"Hold on, you must hold on to me!" Toshizo Tsuchiya shivered coldly, and then shouted, "The reinforcements sent by the wing headquarters are almost here, hold on!" ”

"Captain, I can't stand it." The orderly said miserably, "The firepower of the Chinese army is too fierce!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling bullet streamer passed through the orderly's head, and the next moment, the orderly immediately fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.

Toshizo Tsuchiya squatted down to inspect it, only to see that the orderly's head had been shot through by a bullet.

Looking up again, Toshizo Tsuchiya was extremely horrified to see that the entire sky above the trench had been filled with bullet streamers like cobwebs.

With such a density of firepower, whoever emerges will die!

"Where's the machine gun?" Toshizo Tsuchiya roared helplessly, "Heavy machine gun team, fire, fire!" ”

Unfortunately, no one responded to Toshizo Tsuchiya at all, because all the heavy machine gun positions had been destroyed, even the crooked light machine guns had been destroyed by the Chinese.

Without machine gun suppression, the Nationalist army soon broke through to the mountainside position.

In the tidal cry of "kill, kill, kill......", a group of national troops took the lead in breaking into the trenches.

A dozen devils hiding in the trenches immediately roared and stepped forward with guns.

However, they were greeted by a dense rain of bullets, and the few national troops who broke into the trenches all carried a Thomson submachine gun on their chests, and with just a burst of fire, they stacked more than a dozen devils who rushed up to the ground.
