816. Touching the Back Mountain
I went, and when Sangou heard the news that the Japanese squadrons were equipped with 37 flat-firing guns, he couldn't help but curse a foul word.
The devil is really generous, even the squadron has 37 guns, so you have to be very careful with your machine gun, and you can't stay at one point for more than half a minute.
But now it seems that there are no 37 guns seen or heard on this mountain, at most only some Japanese mortars are firing back, and the devils in the front mountain are in the position, and the light and heavy machine guns are uncomfortable being hit by the mortars of the third battalion, so they use mortars to fire back.
But at night, even if there are flares, it is not easy to see clearly, and ordinary light and heavy machine guns have muzzle flames and bullet tracers, so it is easy to judge the position.
But the position of the mortar is too difficult to judge, people shoot a shot, neither see the spark, nor hear the sound of the fire, and the mortar is generally hiding behind the infantry line, it is really difficult to judge the specific location.
Therefore, although the Japanese mortars are also firing at the same time, the effect is average, just hitting the skirmish line of the middle **, at most blowing up a few infantrymen.
The three dogs are on the anticline of the Japanese army's Yangpingshan position, and they can't see the situation in front of the mountain, but they can also guess something, the mortars at night, just kidding, have no real skills, and they are generally inaccurate.
Sangou didn't pay attention to the excitement of the front mountain, but asked Xiucai to clearly point out the Japanese army defense points in the back mountain, and then arranged excellent shooters, marked the ruler, and aimed at the target.
At the same time, the two mortars of the bamboo pole are also on standby, calculating the distance of the Japanese army's fire point at any time and striking quickly. Finally, the second platoon of dog-legged troops was sent out as the vanguard and touched upward.
Dogleg picked some veterans to follow, last time those Sichuan babies performed very well in the night attack on Jinguanqiao, but that was also by everyone's veteran master.
This time it is a semi-independent operation, and it is safer to ask the veterans first, and the three dogs asked the recruits to do the second wave of shock teams, and quietly spread out in a compact skirmish formation with an interval of five meters between the left and right, and ten meters between the front and rear.
If it is in the daytime of the plains, the interval will be opened a little more, the plains have a good view, and the devil will fire a mortar casually, and the explosion radius will exceed five meters, and no one wants to become a bargain for the people next to him.
Since all the attention of the Japanese army was attracted to the front mountain, the defense of the back mountain was indeed much looser, and it was difficult for the Japanese army, and it was indeed difficult for only one squadron of people to hold such a large mountain.
There are too many places to defend, and the Japanese army doesn't want to spread it very thin like a pancake, so the strength will be too weak, but it will be more dangerous.
The Japanese army could only hold a few key points, and only by connecting several points into a line through cross-fire and from the line to the surface could they barely hold it, so in the back mountain, only a small team of people was arranged, serving as a reserve and a garrison on the back mountain.
However, due to the high urgency of the position in the front mountain, this squad will be drawn out of a squad for a while, and a squad will be drawn out of a team, and in a few moments, this squad will be drawn almost completely.
This makes the three dogs and them benefit for seven consecutive years, if it is calculated according to a squadron guarding this mountain, a small team of men and horses will generally be left behind the mountain.
Therefore, there must be no problem for Sangou to have more than 180 people in a reinforced company and more than 50 people in a small squad of the Japanese army, even if the Japanese army occupies favorable terrain, but as the elite unit of the Central Army, Sangou has the confidence to win.
It's just that you have to take into account your own casualties, suddenness, rapidity and other issues, it's best to rush up quickly, so that the devils in the front mountain don't react, you can press the devils in the front mountain halfway up the mountain to fight, attack up and down, and annihilate the devils in one fell swoop.
But if it is reacted by the main force of the Japanese army in the front mountain, then it will be troublesome, under normal circumstances, once the backyard is on fire, no matter how urgent the front is, it will be ignored and the fire in the backyard will be extinguished first.
Just as the meaning of the First Corps Headquarters urgently ordering the 74th Army to desperately take Minshan this time, it is just the operation of the large corps to amplify the effect of the battlefield.
If the main force of the Japanese army in Qianshan knew that the Seventh Company was coming, it would definitely send people from the front mountain to block the Seventh Company, or even an overwhelming blow.
After all, the front mountain is only blocking the advance of the first mountain, and it is not possible to fight and retreat at the same time, so as not to die all at once, and once the back mountain is occupied, it will be the life of the Japanese army.
In order to save their lives, the Japanese army will definitely make a desperate bet, and once the potential of fighting to the death is brought into play, there will be seven companies to bear.
What's more deadly is that this back mountain is not just an independent position, and then behind the back mountain is Xiaomin Mountain, and the Japanese army is stationed, if the Japanese army over there sends reinforcements over, one at both ends, the seventh company is a reinforced company, and it will basically be reimbursed.
After going through all the problems, Sangou decided to let the dog's legs touch it, make an attack, first occupy the bridgehead, and then expand on both sides.
At the same time, the troops behind the cover rushed up, quickly suppressed the counterattack of the devils, and waited for the eight and nine companies in the front mountain to attack together, and everything would be fine.
Now Sangou is letting the troops make an offensive charge, and at the same time, he also lets Xiucai's excellent shooters and bamboo mortars attack the enemy's reinforcements at any time.
There is another point that has not been said, that is, retreat at any time, and if you can't retreat to the front mountain, you can't stay here for a long time, once the Japanese army behind the back mountain comes to help, the seventh company will become a dumpling filling, and it will be wrapped and boiled and eaten.
Now for the time being, I pinned my trust on the courage of the doglegs, and I originally hoped to send the monk up, but I felt that the monk was not willing to participate in the war, and it was too dangerous to send him up like this, and once he was lost, it would be too cost-effective.
However, while everyone was waiting like suffocation, at the top of the back mountain, there was a secret signal from the dog's legs, and the three dogs were overjoyed and immediately urged everyone to rush up.
……
Dogleg took half a platoon of veterans, divided into three groups, and touched up in echelons and depths, and did a lot of things in night raids, and it became natural to get used to it, and everyone blackened the knives in advance, and even the faces were blackened.
Like a group of, ghostly wandering on the back mountain, the dog's legs that used to be porters are very strong, just like apes, as long as they get something on them, they can climb up.
Behind him were the proud sons Peng Changhua and Yang Chengzu, three murderous demons, with a group of cold-blooded killers, rushing in the mountains and forests.
According to the possible devil firepower points provided by Xiucai in advance, everyone touched them one by one and found that there were a few empty pounces, and there was a position there, but there was no one inside, and it was estimated that they were taken away.
When I reached the top of the mountain, I found that there were three spots, and there were almost a class of devils, who were nesting there, babbling and saying something, and smoking cigarettes one after another.
After the dog legs and the people behind them came, they were divided into three groups, and Changhua Chengzu each brought a group, each group was about half a class of people, about six or seven people, and slowly touched the three hiding places of the devil.
