Chapter 305: Bloody Assault

Naturally, heavy artillery shelling of the Chinese army.

Keeping an eye on the enemy's artillery position on the hill, it was almost possible to see the enemy's specific position, and eight heavy guns bombarded it.

After one volley, two more salvos came!

The shells caused an earth-shattering explosion that destroyed the Japanese artillery there.

The artillery fire was damaged, people were killed, wounded, and some shells were killed after being bombarded.

Smoke, fury, shards, corpses!

The Japanese army was devastated.

Two infantry guns, falling down the hill and rolling all the way down the hillside!

After waiting for a moment, making observations, Han Feng gave the order, and the infantry charged.

It is not a crowd tactic, a large-scale cluster charge, but a search advance with a small number of troops.

Han Feng knew that in the face of such unfavorable terrain, our troops would swarm up, and they would be shot by the enemy and suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, the Japanese army, which is in a desperate situation, will definitely fight back desperately.

I can't do it.

An infantry platoon attacked, moving separately, alternately covering the advance.

The Chinese army with mortars, etc., watched and waited below.

The infantry platoon advanced and approached the first line of defense of the Japanese army, and immediately, the Japanese army fired accurately with rifles.

Our soldiers quickly and covertly counterattacked.

The two sides fired at each other for a while, and the Japanese army's superb rifle shooting ability and hardly trained individual combat skills completely suppressed the Chinese infantry.

Chinese infantry were shot and tumbled down the hillside.

Of the more than 30 troops, more than 20 people have been killed or wounded.

The Chinese ground artillery bombed the enemy and killed and wounded some enemies, but the shells of our army were all captured by the enemy, and the number was very limited, and they could not cover the bombing without limit.

After a while, the remnants of the Chinese army and the enemy fought a final battle, and all of them were killed.

Looking at the remains of Chinese soldiers on the hillside, all the officers and soldiers under the hill were saddened.

The first attack failed in this way.

Many officers, company commanders and platoon commanders, actively asked for battle and demanded a full charge.

Han Feng decided to use a company of troops to attack the enemy.

The mortars were prepared, firing more than two dozen shells, and the infantry company charged separately, and soon engaged the enemy's first line of defense.

The Chinese officers and soldiers were incomparably brave and extraordinary.

Some soldiers act as daredevils, charging directly to lure the enemy out, and then let other fighters destroy the enemy.

At this time, by telephone, Han Feng asked the heavy artillery to aim point-to-point at the enemy's first line of defense positions and attack.

The artillery immediately carried out the order and bombarded the enemy.

The precise strike, which bombarded the Japanese defense line, blew up a lot of Japanese troops in the trenches.

The first line of defense of the Japanese army, with more than a hundred people, was wiped out by artillery fire, almost half of which was wiped out.

Taking advantage of the smoke of artillery fire, the confusion of the Japanese army, the difficulty of seeing the battlefield clearly, the number of casualties and the panic, and the efforts to dodge the shells, an infantry company of the Chinese army, after paying the price of more than half of the casualties, finally rushed to the first line of defense.

They fought to the death with the Japanese army.

In some places there are white-knuckle battles.

The Japanese army's stabbing skills are obviously stronger than those of the Chinese army, you think, people are veterans, a few backbones of the Chinese army are veterans, and the vast majority of them are ordinary citizens!

Even veterans, in terms of training intensity and methods, are far from being opponents of the Japanese army, and the government is very powerful.

Often, two Chinese soldiers can be exchanged for one Japanese soldier, and even, three soldiers can be exchanged for an enemy.

This kind of exchange ratio is also hard-won, it is Han Feng who gave full guidance to everyone, so that everyone can use the method of reporting to the regiment to keep warm, three people in a combat group, stabbing to intercept an enemy, concentrating superior forces, and annihilating the enemy's tactics, so that it can have such an effect.

Finally, the remnants of the Japanese army were defeated and retreated to the second line of defense.

The first line of defense, occupied by Chinese troops.

It is a pity that there are only a dozen of the occupying forces left.

An unusually tragic and difficult victory.

The soldiers entered the trenches built by the Japanese army and immediately adjusted their posture to alert the enemy's second line of defense.

The Japanese army immediately retaliated.

At a distance of more than 200 meters, before, the two armies were fighting, the personnel of the two countries were mixed with each other, and the Japanese army could not support it with fire, but now, the situation has changed and it is clear, and the Japanese army immediately began to bombard with artillery fire.

The artillery was gone, and the Japanese still had small artillery fire, grenadiers, mortars, machine guns, etc., aimed at bombardment.

Not long after, the corpses of the Chinese soldiers on the first line of defense were strewn all over the field, and only one soldier remained, hidden and unable to move.

The Japanese then sent an infantry squad to restore their original positions.

Before the reinforcements of the second echelon commanded by Han Feng arrived, they were bombarded by the enemy on the second line of defense, and a burst of machine-gun grenades bombarded them, killing and wounding half of them.

Eventually, the troops retreated.

In this way, the cluster attack failed again.

A platoon commander who was a veteran told Han Feng that this Purple Mountain is indeed difficult to attack, a few days ago, in the early days of the Jinling Defense War, the Japanese army besieged it for three and a half days, until the city of Jinling fell, and the Purple Mountain area was still in the hands of our army!

Easy to defend and difficult to attack, this is the strategic characteristic of this kind of flat and abrupt mountain peaks.

The two attacks failed, and many people retreated.

The infantry regiment commander suggested that at the foot of the Purple Mountain, use a large number of soldiers to build trenches to trap the enemy!

We don't attack, we focus on the guest!

Of course, the troops need to go east, and the elite troops can't stay here for long!

What to do?

Several battalion commanders suggested that the newly joined reserve troops, especially the refugees, come here to work after they have eaten their fill, dig pits, dig pits all the time, connect them, form three very complete trenches, block the ditch, and trap the devils here, the devils can't get out at all, and they can't play a role!

This is indeed a trick.

It is more feasible in all respects.

Han Feng praised several officers, saying that they had brains, insight, and were very good talents.

However, Han Feng decided to make one last effort, and he decided to personally lead his troops to attack the mountain.

Another company was brought with them to conduct a detailed reconnaissance and explanation of the enemy's situation, and every officer and soldier understood what might happen in the course of the battle and what we should do.

In particular, how to hide, protect yourself, destroy the enemy.

The artillery fire was again prepared, and the infantry set off.

On the first line of defense, the Japanese built strong fortifications, and this kind of mountainous terrain, with its individual pits and trenches, simply had the advantage.

Han Feng means that besieging the enemy is the most helpless method, and there are also great drawbacks, the Japanese army can carry out a counterattack at night, once the blockade line of the Chinese army is broken, it will cause great damage to the Chinese army and the citizens of Jinling.

This hidden danger must be removed very quickly.

Otherwise, the Japanese army sniped and killed our soldiers and civilians passing by from the mountains, which was a great threat, or rolled down with stones, and many people could be killed and injured!

A thorn in the flesh in the eye must be removed.

Han Feng rushed up with his personnel.
