Now the 3rd Battalion is in the most critical place for the 102nd Brigade of the Japanese Army to defend the front, and all the Japanese troops retreated to the main position of Qiangongling, and concentrated their firepower to desperately resist the attack of the Chinese army.

Now that the field supplement regiment has surrounded the past and cut off the last retreat route of the Japanese army, the Japanese army, which had originally thought of retreating and retreating, would not retreat or sway from side to side, but now it is even more determined not to retreat and defend to the end.

But determination is determination, and whether you have the strength to hold on is another matter.

The third battalion launched a series of attacks in front of the main position of the Japanese army in Qiangongling, and if it was not hurried at this time, when the main force of the Japanese army came to the rescue, there would be no fat to eat.

The Yebu Regiment was even more desperate, attacking the Japanese troops on the slopes behind Qiangongling without stopping, and the mortars and heavy machine guns did not hesitate to vent their anger against the enemy.

The commander of the third battalion machine gun company, Zhu Gan, is now mainly responsible for mortars, and Wang Weidong, the deputy company commander, is mainly responsible for the heavy machine guns of the machine gun company.

Mortars are mainly fired at the Japanese mortars, and there are also heavy machine gun positions that shoot at the enemy in the air, and the number of mortars of the Japanese army is not as good as that of the Chinese army.

Despite this, the Japanese mortars were still greatly reduced, mainly because the artillery battalions of the 51st Division occasionally joined in, firing a few mountain guns, which posed a great threat to the Japanese mortars.

However, the 51st Division did not have many mountain artillery shells, and in addition to interfering shelling, it was now mainly aimed at the heavy machine gun bunkers of the Japanese army for precision strikes.

After the Japanese army occupied Qiangongling, according to the original positions of the Chinese army, some machine gun bunker positions were built and reinforced, and ordinary mortars could not blow up.

The fortifications of the Japanese army are also very powerful, and Sangou saw in the telescope that they can add some firing positions with tricky angles on the basis of the original.

At present, for the Chinese army, these positions can only be removed by precise strikes by mountain artillery, but there are not many shells from mountain artillery, and they have encountered a more dangerous situation.

When the air alarm sounded, the divisional artillery battalion was the first unit to transfer positions, but fortunately, it was the Japanese planes, and under the radar warning system, they could give everyone five minutes to transfer.

If the Japanese artillery comes, then these mountain artillery will soon be reimbursed, not to mention the field heavy artillery of other people, even the mountain artillery of the point wing, and our mountain artillery will not be able to bear it at once.

If it encounters the Japanese army equipped with 105 howitzers, it will be even more dangerous, so the divisional artillery battalion is the first to transfer, and the Japanese artillery pressure will immediately become lighter.

After receiving the alarm of the arrival of the Japanese fighters, the two main attack regiments of the 51st Division had to stop, turned into concealment, and entered the positions one after another to hide.

After the Japanese planes came, they carried out retaliatory bombing and strafing, and carried out frenzied bombing and strafing at the 152nd Regiment, the Field Supplement Regiment, and the outer positions of Qiangongling.

The five-minute warning time was far from enough, and many Chinese soldiers could only hide on the spot, which gave many opportunities to Japanese planes and caused a large number of casualties.

The Japanese bombers dropped a series of aerial bombs, and the huge bombing sound resounded throughout the earth, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and a large amount of soil on the position was lifted up.

A large number of Chinese soldiers were also blown up with the soil, their flesh and blood were torn apart, their bones were shattered, and bursts of blood rain fell along with the mud and gunsmoke.

In the face of the huge losses caused by the generation difference of this weapon, Sangou could only hide in the bunker, and was so distressed that he was silent, these lovely warriors, how many battles have they had to grow into fierce veterans, but now they have been blown up.

Those recruits who came out of the fields, how much training they went through to become part of the elite troops, and now they have also become cannon fodder.

As a battalion commander, there is no way to face such a huge gap in weapons, but is it worth fighting such a battle?

At present, the Chinese army, even the 74th Army, which has the elite weapons and personnel of the whole country, does not have the ability to attack the Japanese army on the plains.

But perhaps for the sake of the overall situation, or for the sake of military achievements, these low-level officers and soldiers are used to act in violation of the laws of war, but in fact, on the south bank of the Jinjiang River, in Qiangongling, there is no need to fight to the death with the Japanese army.

This is not a strategic location, nor does it threaten the defense of Shanggao, and the Japanese army only has one infantry brigade, which only contains or disrupts the defense and operation of the 51st Division of the Chinese Army.

For the sake of the infantry brigade in such a place, it is necessary to sacrifice like this, Sangou can't figure it out, but now that the overlord has hardened the bow, there is no turning back, and if he can't figure it out, he will have to be hard.

"Notify the company commanders and ask them to count the casualties of each company and platoon as soon as possible after the enemy planes leave, speed up the deployment of troops, and report as soon as possible if there is a need for weapons and ammunition."

Sangou turned his head and gave an order to the communication soldiers, this can only be done at this time, the soldiers cannot be replenished, only a little ammunition can be replenished.

After nearly half an hour of suffering, the Japanese planes had no choice but to end their performance of flying up and down and strafing due to the constraints of aviation fuel, and left in a huff.

It is really an insult to the Chinese Air Force that the Japanese bombers have already left first, and they do not want fighter escorts, but the current Chinese Air Force is already seriously damaged and cannot organize an effective air war.

As soon as the plane left, the position was under the control of the Chinese army again, and the Japanese could only occupy a few heavy machine gun positions as fire support, condescendingly blocking the line of fire.

There are not many mortars, occasionally firing a few shots, chatting to help, since the infantry artillery was extinguished by the mountain artillery of the Chinese army, the firepower of the 102nd Brigade has been sluggish, and now it has been reduced to holding the mountain to the death.

The third battalion and eight companies were in the position on the right side of the front, and Chen Yanxin, the deputy company commander at this time, led four platoons, that is, a fire platoon of small guns and machine guns, along the dilapidated position, approaching the foot of Qiangongling.

The Japanese heavy machine guns discovered Chen Yanxin's attempt, and immediately organized firepower, covering this mountainous area, and the 92 heavy machine clucked and screamed like an old hen, and the bullets swept over like a splash of wind, pressing everyone into the position and not daring to move.

Chen Yanxin and the others tried to set up light machine guns to shoot at the Japanese army, but found that it was not of the same magnitude at all, and before they could shoot a single point shot, they were given a long point shot and pressed into the trench.

The light mortars of the fourth platoon are now also installed quickly, but the firing vision is very poor, and the shooters cannot look up to measure the distance, so they can only take blind fire, and after firing a shell, they find that it is not ideal, and they do not know where the shells are flying.

Chen Yanxin was also very anxious at this time, and the follow-up Eighth Company troops had been waiting for their firepower to open the way, and only after opening a breakthrough could the large army rush forward.

Now several demolition teams of the Eighth Company are also following Chen Yanxin and their four platoons, but they are far away from the Japanese army's firepower, and there is a section of climbing in the middle, without cover, and they will become targets as soon as they go out.
