Chapter 216: The Valley Is Hard to Escape
However, even if it is occupied by the dirt eight roads, the bridge is indeed worried that it will be suppressed by the eight roads.
He knew very well in his heart that this would not look at the eight roads on the mountain to fight fiercely, but his ability to cause casualties to his troops was very limited. Except for a few people who were taken down by surprise at the beginning, most of his men had already found a hidden place and launched a counterattack, and the firepower steadily exceeded the eight roads on the mountain.
Sure enough, the two sides exchanged fire for only three to five minutes, and the blocking firepower of the Eighth Route immediately dropped by more than half.
Ohashi knew very well in his heart that the other party was obviously running out of ammunition!
"Three guns and eight ways, as expected!"
Faced with the sporadic shooting from the eight roads on the top of the mountain, Ohashi smiled disdainfully. Raising his hand and waving his hand, he asked a detachment of soldiers to get up and continue to touch upward.
Seeing that the devils attacked again, the second and third platoons on the mountain hurriedly showed their heads and fired a burst of guns, and at the same time, the only Czech one also took the opportunity to shoot a few precious short shots.
In the dust, the two devil soldiers who were attacking on their backs were shot in the chest, and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, while the rest of the devil soldiers quickly lay on the ground again.
In the next second, the sound of three crooked machine guns rang out again, and the fierce fire immediately suppressed the turn of the three platoons, taking advantage of this stall, several grenadiers around Kuramoto quickly aimed at the position where the Czech machine gun had just fired.
Boom ......
There were several loud noises in succession, and the ground shook slightly while bursts of smoke rose from the mountain.
The smoke cleared, and the three platoons of machine gun crews and several fighters around them all fell in a pool of blood.
"Toast give! Department!! ”
Dumbing down the only machine gun in the eighth road, the devil squad leader immediately attacked again.
In the dense rain of bullets, the commander of the second company and the third platoon crawled over to pull the Czechs out of the remaining machine gunners, shouting for everyone to pay attention to concealment, and at the same time preparing grenades.
There is no long-range suppression firepower, and their own side is suppressed by the devil's machine gun, and the only weapon that can organize the devil's attack in the third platoon is the grenade.
Soon, the Japanese broke through to a position fifty meters from the positions of the three rows.
After the third platoon commander sneaked a peek down the mountain, he hurriedly pulled his own grenade.
"Throw a grenade!"
Although the distance is still a bit far, if you let the devil go forward for more than ten or twenty meters, the third row will have to eat the devil's melon thunder, which will be even worse.
After all, the devil's ninety-seven grenade is no better than the border area in the hands of the third row, once the devil touches the grenade throwing distance, the position of the third row may not be able to hold.
There was a flurry, and a rain of grenades was thrown out by the three platoons, and after a short delay, a barrage quickly exploded in front of the position.
Although the power of the border area is even lower in this mountain battle, the victory is enough in number, so the coverage is also good. Lethality aside, at least the shock effect is still there.
Under a dense explosion, the devils who walked in front of the team were immediately knocked down by five or six people, and the rest retreated in panic to dodge. Although there may not be a few devils killed on the spot, this explosion has also successfully blocked the momentum of the devil's attack.
At the same time as the grenade exploded, the third platoon also took the opportunity to fire a volley of guns, knocking down a few more of the panicked devils in the smoke.
This time, coupled with the previous killing, the forward team that let the devil serve as the offensive suffered more than half of the casualties in an instant, and finally beat this wave of attacks back.
However, when the battle came to this point, the last bit of superiority of the third platoon was completely exposed.
After testing the weakness of the firepower of the eight roads on the mountain, after a short repair, Ohashi immediately made tactical adjustments, preparing to launch a more ferocious attack.
……
On the hill, after Hao Ping checked the casualties of the troops, he also realized the huge risk that was coming.
The enemy faced by the third platoon was obviously a full squad of devils. Although the third platoon repelled the devil's attack in the battle just now, it was obvious that the devil's attack just now did not use all his strength, and the other party only tentatively sent a detachment of devils, the purpose was only to test their own defensive firepower.
That is, the real hard stubble is still to come.
And if the third row can't block the devils in front of them, once the other party occupies this commanding height, then the entire back road of the second company will be directly blocked, so that everyone has no way to retreat.
At that time, the Japanese army of the second company will be blocked here, and the devils behind him will be pressed up at the same time, and the annihilation of the second company will become inevitable here.
Just when Hao Ping was worried about the life and death of the second company, the gunfire in the direction of the mountain village suddenly intensified again. Obviously, it was the fourth platoon that entered the village to support and the devils exchanged fire.
Hearing the fierce gunfire behind him, Hao Ping knew that with Shen Cunzhi, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long, and they would soon withdraw and pass by.
Today's situation has reached the most critical juncture. In order for the Second Company to avoid the fate of the annihilation of the entire army, he must defend this high ground before Shen Cunzhi and the others retreat.
"Comrades! We must guard here, and we must not let a devil go over, this is related to the life and death of our second company, do you understand?! ”
"Understood!"
As soon as the words fell, the attack of the devils under the mountain also began.
In this attack, the leader of the devil squad did not hesitate at all, as soon as he came up, three machine guns suppressed the hill at the same time, and two grenadiers fired continuously and rapidly, and then the devils of the two and a half detachments were all thrown into the attack.
Under heavy fire, the counterattack of the third platoon was quickly suppressed.
In the rain of bullets flying sideways, people on the devil's side kept being shot and rolling down, and the second company also fell down one after another.
The Japanese relied on the support of grenadiers and machine guns, and attacked in waves one by one, never giving the three platoons a chance to breathe.
In just 20 minutes, the four grenadiers fired all 30 grenades they carried.
During this period, although the third platoon had improvised trenches as cover, the grenadier was a curved trajectory, which greatly reduced the protective effect of the trenches. Therefore, under the constant bombardment, the casualties of the third platoon can be imagined.
As the battle progressed, after two rounds of grenades counterattacked with grenades by carrying the grenadier bombardment, Hao Ping's only dozens of grenades were all consumed. At this time, the Japanese army also rushed to a distance of more than 30 meters from the position.
At this moment, the three platoons of more than 50 people were now able to move, and a small half of them were wounded. However, although the firepower of the attacking devil squad is far stronger than that of the third platoon, because it has always been a strong attack, its own casualties are not low, and even about half of them are killed and wounded.
However, at this time, the devils obviously did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and they were already very clear that the ammunition on the mountain eight roads had been exhausted, and the most important thing was that there were no grenades on the eight roads on the earth!
Under Kuramoto's command, seven or eight devils began to crawl towards the hill under the cover of machine guns, preparing to climb to the best throwing distance of the grenade and give a burst of hard work to the three platoons, and then directly launch a white-knuckle assault.
……
In the trench on the hillside, Hao Ping gently closed the eyes of the dead three platoon leaders, and then pulled out the big knife on his back.
He knew very well in his heart that the devil's final attack was about to begin.
……
At this moment, a warrior suddenly shouted:
"Instructor, look, the company commander has withdrawn!"
Looking for the sound, Hao Ping really saw that dozens of dirty figures had already run along the valley, and in the blink of an eye, they had almost reached the foot of the mountain where they were.
……
In the valley, Shen Cunzhi and the others ran all the way after withdrawing from the village, and finally ran to the exit of the valley at this time.
Looking at the smoke rising from the hillside on the upper right, Shen Cunzhi's heart was always in his throat.
When he left the village just now, the fierce gunfire here made his heart jump suddenly. He imagined more than once in his heart what kind of desperate situation he would face if Hao Ping failed to defend the back road in the third row.
Not long ago, Shen Cunzhi took the rest of the first and second rows to fight the devils in the village for a few rounds. Despite their best efforts, it was still difficult to stop the Japanese attack.
In street fighting, often as soon as you occupy a yard and shoot without machine guns, you are driven out by grenadiers and grenades from devils.
The little devil not only has a hand in the field, but also has a clear eye in the street battle.
The machine gun suppressed the head of the wall, the infantry grenades grenades waited, and the grenadiers bombarded the wall at close range.
Although the fourth platoon arrived in time to increase the number of people, Shen Cunzhi and the others were still stuck in the village by the devils, and they were never able to disengage from the devils.
In the end, he was really forced to have no choice, so Shen Cunzhi had to endure the pain and leave the platoon with heavy casualties in the village to "drag" the devils, and then took the opportunity to withdraw with the remaining second and fourth platoons.
Seeing that he was about to run out of the valley, Shen Cunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and while slowing down, he pulled a veteran beside him over.
"Take a few people up the mountain at once and see how the instructor is doing?"
"Yes!"
However, just as Shen Cunzhi's words fell, a rain of bullets suddenly hit from the hillside.
Da-da-da-da!
……
In an instant, a ferocious trajectory cut into the running team, and several fighters were swept to the ground with a muffled grunt before they could react.
"Lie down! Take cover! ”
was suddenly attacked, and Shen Cunzhi, who was shouting, was pounced on by a soldier beside him, and was directly pushed into the grass on the side of the road.
However, since you are located right at the exit of the valley, the terrain is very open. Although this generation has some grass, it does not play a role in covering at all.
Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, the machine gunners in the second platoon simply picked up their machine guns and fired in the direction of the bullets, but they were quickly knocked to the ground by the dense and accurate bullets.
In the midst of the gunshots, Shen Cunzhi raised his head and looked again and again in the rain of bullets, his eyes were red, and he was unable to find out where the other party was hiding.
Listening to the sound, the most devils who shoot themselves are a crooked handle and a few 38 big covers. However, the opponent is hidden in the dense vegetation in the middle of the hillside, and his own side is lying at the exit of the bare valley, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and I am completely beaten but I can't find the opponent!
Just as Shen Cunzhi gritted his teeth and was thinking about what to do, the Czech machine gun on the top of the hill that had just stopped suddenly rang out again.
…… To be continued, thank you for your support!
