The stragglers in front gradually approached, and finally forced out the Japanese heavy machine guns and other fire points, and as soon as the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns fired, their positions were immediately exposed. ranw?enｗ?ｗ?ｗ?．? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?ｗ?ｅ?ｎ?a`ｃｏｍ

The mortars of the third battalion were always waiting and focusing on the Japanese heavy machine gun fire, and even during the day, they would be the first to find out, not to mention that it was night.

The unique gurgling sound and muzzle flame of the 92 Heavy Machine were easy for the Chinese soldiers to distinguish, and the mortars immediately adjusted the distance, and the correction shells were fired first.

Just when the mortars of the third battalion fired correction shells one after another, the mountain artillery of the divisional artillery battalion behind them also began to roar.

Although it was night, the effect of the flares allowed the artillery observers to have a good field of vision and be able to determine relatively real data.

The lethality of this mountain artillery was much more powerful than that of mortars, and the epidermal position of the Japanese army in Phoenix Ridge was suddenly bombarded by five rounds of shells, and there was a sea of fire.

Mortars also came to join in the fun, firing several rounds of rapid-fire at the Japanese bunkers and machine gun nests, deepening the wounds and destruction of the Japanese positions.

As usual, at this time, the trumpet of the charge was immediately sounded, and a large number of soldiers of the third battalion burst out with a tsunami-like shouting and killing sound, and rushed forward desperately.

When the Japanese soldiers, who were dizzy by the bombing, just turned over from the mound, they saw not only the severed hands and feet of their own people, but also the bayonets of the bright Chinese soldiers, and the even more terrifying black muzzles of the submachine guns.

The Japanese machine guns and grenadiers were extremely short of ammunition, and they were hit and suppressed by several rounds of mountain artillery and mortars, so they could not organize effective firepower to stop the Chinese soldiers' charge and attack.

With a distance of only 200 meters, in less than a minute, the soldiers were able to rush to the forward position of the Japanese army, and when they turned over and threw themselves into the trenches, many devils were still struggling to pull the dirt, stones, and wood on their bodies.

The sound of fried bean-like submachine guns sounded in the trenches of the Japanese army, and the wounded and the devils who had just crawled out of the first defense position of the Japanese army were immediately beaten to flesh and blood, and became blood gourds.

Tanaka Shaosa, the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 217th Wing of the Japanese Army guarding Phoenix Ridge, was well aware of the dangerous situation at this time, and immediately drew his bright saber and urged the defenders of the second defense to immediately rush to the first defense.

At this time, if the Japanese army did not withdraw the first defense as soon as possible and let the Chinese soldiers gain a firm foothold, the second defense and the third defense, and even the Japanese army's brigade headquarters, would also be broken one by one.

It was clear to Tian Zhongli that with the little ammunition left at present, and these hungry soldiers, they would not be able to withstand the repeated charges so close to the center.

Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the attacking Chinese soldiers in the first time, make a fierce counter-charge, and defeat these people, so as to have a chance to hold Phoenix Ridge.

Sangou is already very aware of the psychology and tactics of the Japanese army, and if he thinks from his position, he will definitely send reinforcements to attack the opponent who has just entered the first defense.

As soon as all the soldiers of the second defense of the Japanese army moved, the machine guns and even mortars on the side of the third battalion also moved, and the mortars after adjusting the distance did not even hit correction shells, but were directly high-explosive shells.

A high-explosive bomb exploded in the open space between the first and second defenses of the Japanese army, that is, at the foot of the Phoenix Ridge, forming a barrage like a sea of fire.

The devils who rushed down were immediately broken up in formation, and many of them were killed and injured, and the few who remained could still insist on rushing forward.

Now that the Japanese army itself has run out to be beaten, the mortars of the third battalion are not polite, and now even the grenades of the front head team have become powerful "accomplices" of the mortars.

At least one squad of Japanese troops participated in the counterattack, and at least half of them were killed and wounded, and the rest were almost ready to be defended, and the machine guns of the third battalion began to roar.

The light machine guns that had been moved forward and the heavy machine guns that were set up to suppress the firepower of the main Japanese army were fiercely strafing at the Japanese troops who had escaped the protection of the trenches.

A squad of Japanese troops, under the superior firepower of the third battalion, was gradually harvested their lives, and the tenacious devils continued to rush forward, even if there were less than one squad of devils left in the end.

This is a bit like the Chinese soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, facing foreign guns and cannons, but also stupidly rushing forward, at that time may be a large number of Chinese do not know the power of thermal weapons.

But what age is it now, the devils should know very well the power of this gun, but they still have to rush forward desperately, like people who are going to die.

Sangou saw this scene with a telescope, and couldn't help but feel a little touched, the battlefield discipline and execution of the little devil were really very admirable and terrifying.

But little devils, you also have today's fate, I think we were in Songhu and Nanjing, and a large number of brothers were the same, in the Japanese army's firepower network, struggling to rush forward and kill, constantly dying on the road of charging.

Perhaps there are some devils who have reached the point where they can't stand it anymore, and hunger, fatigue, despair, etc., are constantly destroying their will to fight.

There are already signs of madness on the devils, dancing to the moon, singing loudly and crying bitterly, etc., these devils are either held down by their comrades, or killed by their superiors, which is really demoralizing.

Rather than collapse and despair and be killed by their own people, it is better to rush forward and kill and die under the guns of the enemy, it is estimated that many devils have this idea, because after the war, the three dogs interrogated the devils, and one of them has this statement.

The devils of the last squad, when they rushed to the front of the first defense position, that is, a distance of a few meters, were already weak in their legs and feet, and they had no food or drink.

Some devils couldn't even run for the last few meters, and they staggered over with their guns on their guns, but what was waiting for them was a feast of submachine gun bullets.

After a burst of gunfire, the last few devils rolled in front of the trench and announced the complete failure of the Japanese counterattack with a small team of annihilation.

The soldiers of the third battalion rushed to the foot of the mountain along the communication trench in the first defense position of Phoenix Ridge, and began to attack on the back, throwing grenades and mortars into the second defense position of the Japanese army.

The few machine guns that the Japanese army had left now had to fire at full power, although the bullets simply could not support such rapid attrition, but in order to secure the position, they had to do it.

However, the mortars of the third battalion did not wait for the Japanese machine guns to run out of ammunition, but first fired grenades into the machine gun positions of the devils, and smashed the machine guns and shooters that blew up the devils, which can be regarded as a complete solution to this problem.

Now the devils who only had rifles and grenades left, threw grenades one after another, and the continuous explosions caused great damage to the soldiers of the three battalions who charged and attacked.
