Chapter 357 Advance

The sky was getting whiter, and the red sun was slowly rising from the edge of the sky.

The sound of guns and artillery on the Wogou Ridge battlefield has become more intense, and the various mountain artillery and howitzers set up by the devils on the mountain are useless now, because the distance between the two sides is too close.

The three divisions attacking head-on broke through the first line of defense under the Devil's Ridge before dawn and were attacking upward, and the Zhao Sixth Independent Brigade was attacking even faster, and it was estimated that it was only a dozen meters away from the top of the ridge, but it was only a dozen meters, and the devils rained bullets and grenades so that the Zhao Sixth Brigade suffered heavy casualties.

And the bison near the fairy cave not only surrounded the Xiaolin brigade, but also blocked the devil soldiers who came to get water, although the devil weapons do not use water, but people want to drink water, this kind of high-intensity battle can make people's throats smoke, especially the wounded, without water, even more uncomfortable and painful.

"Army commander, the military commission has called to inquire about the battle situation." Liu Xiaomei came over and said.

"The call back is in a fierce battle, with heavy casualties, even if this situation reaches Hengyang, there will only be one regiment left in our 33rd Army." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Liu Xiaomei replied.

And for the little devil, it's the same, the Arai command is also a mess now, Arai Hachijiro is also big now, and the battle on the back mountainside has reached a fever pitch, he didn't expect the Chongqing Army to be able to attack this strange army, and it can use a flamethrower, this kind of sharp weapon for positional warfare makes Arai Hachijiro feel pressured, and he can only keep sending reinforcements, hoping to suppress the Chongqing Army.

"Report! Send Your Excellency the Regiment Commander to break through the second frontal front. The chief of staff came in.

"Well, tell the captains of the various wings, hold their positions to the death, buy time, I don't have extra troops here to reinforce them, and the time has come to dedicate yourself to the empire!" Arai Hachijiro changed his previous confident appearance and gritted his teeth.

"Hey! Rather for the jade crushed! The chief of staff said solemnly.

"Please!" Hachijiro Arai replied.

The chief of staff nodded and went into battle in person.

"Withdraw all the troops who have reinforced the Shenxian Cave to reinforce the mountainside, and you can't let the Chongqing army rush in and climb to the top of the mountain." Hachijiro Arai shouted.

"Hey!" The correspondent not far away replied loudly.

Arai Hachijiro felt that the rushing in front of him was different from other rushing in, and a large number of new weapons and American-style equipment seemed to be asking the military headquarters for tactical guidance.

Arai Hachijiro sent a telegram asking for help from the military headquarters, but the stone sank into the sea, Arai Hachijiro was really panicked this time, and if this continued, the Chongqing army would attack sooner or later, and he might have to go to see Amaterasu.

At ten o'clock, the battle of Wogou Ridge continued, Zhao Liu looked at the top of the mountain in front of him, only a few steps, but the devil desperately blocked, both sides were killed, Zhao Liu's mortars, grenadiers and ammunition had already finished the shells.

"Chen Hexi, Chen Hexi, fight! Get the Pyro on! Here shouted.

"Yes." Chen Hexi replied.

After a while, tongues of fire went straight to the top of the mountain. The trees on the top of the hill lit up smoke one after another, choking the defending devils so much that they couldn't open their eyes.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Zhao Liuda shouted, and at the same time personally led the whole brigade to charge, at this time there were less than 700 people left in the independent brigade, and a large number of soldiers died on the back mountainside of this Wogou Ridge, and the dense corpses were lying on the hillside. Zhao Liu held the Winchester trench gun given by Lao Mai, and blasted over, several shotguns were scattered like heavenly maidens, when Zhao Liu shot out six 12 good shotguns, people also rushed to the devil trench on the top of the mountain, the devil was either dead or wounded, screaming constantly, "Da Da Da ~" The soldiers were holding guns and shooting, all angry, all vented.

"Hexi, leave a company of soldiers to stay behind and consolidate the trenches, and the other brothers will follow me and smash his little devil's headquarters." Zhao Liuda shouted.

When Zhao Liu attacked the top of the mountain, and Arai Hachijiro was about to smash the radio station, burn the documents and military flags, and prepare for the final battle, "Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the military headquarters orders to withdraw from Wogou Ridge immediately!" The correspondent shouted excitedly.

"Huh?" Hachijiro Arai replied in surprise.

He didn't think there was any hope of survival.

"Withdraw! Notify all troops to withdraw! Arai Hachijiro shouted. Perhaps it was too much excitement, and Hachijiro Arai forgot that the troops were fighting fiercely, and this order was a stupid move.

"Brigade commander, look, there are so many artillery, what are they doing?" A soldier pointed to the devil's artillery position in the distance.

"Damn, this is a devil artillery trying to escape, rush!" Scolded.

Hundreds of soldiers rushed up like a hurricane, and the devil artillery suddenly ran around, and blamed Arai Hachijiro for his bad luck, he collided with the rout of the artillery as soon as he left the headquarters, and the soldiers of the independent brigade were shooting the devil like a straw, Chen Hexi's eyes were sharp, and he saw a group of officials pouring out, and immediately took a squad of soldiers to shoot wildly, and Arai Hachijiro went to see Amaterasu with regret.

When the battlefield was cleared, a large number of military flags, radio stations, and code books were all seized. Zhao Liu stood at the devil command headquarters and shouted: "Send a report to the army commander, occupy the top of the mountain, and kill a devil major general." ”

"Yes." The correspondent replied loudly.

"Let's go, go and support the frontal troops." Zhao Liu shouted again, and at the same time led his subordinates to act again.

"Report to the army commander, Brigade Commander Zhao has attacked and killed a major general of the devil." Liu Xiaomei came over excitedly.

Chen Fei, who was holding a telescope to observe the battle situation, immediately shouted happily when he heard this: "Okay, good, it's finally up, okay." ”

Chen Fei put down his binoculars and looked at the stretcher team carrying the wounded soldiers back and forth, thinking to himself that his brother's sacrifice was not in vain, and if he took Wogou Ling, he would be able to rush to Hengyang tonight and live up to the important responsibility of the principal.

The three divisions on the front fought very hard, attacking from the bottom up, and it would have taken great courage, and if Arai Hachijiro had not given the order to retreat, the battle would have to continue for a while, and the casualties would have been greater. An order to retreat caused the little devil to be confused, leaving a few blocking troops, and the others ran to the top of the mountain.

If the devil seven years ago can stabilize in the chaos, then the current devil definitely does not have this ability, the hillside is full of routs running around, Colin's artillery battalion was originally fighting well, following the large army to see the seams, focusing on taking care of the heavy machine gun position, providing great support for the troops' attack, now it is even better, the shells flying out will definitely kill a few little devils, the 33rd Army has only played a momentum until now, and there are positions on the two-kilometer Wogou Ridge frontal position that have been broken through from time to time, Chen Fei has been watching the changes in the battlefield, At this point, victory is already in hand.

"Commander Huang of the Engineer Corps." Chen Fei shouted.

"Commander, here, here, Commander." Head Huang replied.

"It's time to take Wogou Ridge in front, you prepare and rearrange the position trenches, we need to rest in Wogou Ridge for two or three hours, in case the devil counterattacks, we don't have trenches, I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty by then." Chen Fei said.

"Yes, don't worry, commander, I'll do it right away." Head Huang replied.

Chen Fei nodded, and after an hour, the sound of gunfire gradually subsided.

"Army commander, the first three divisions plus the independent brigade have all occupied Wogou Ridge, and the troops are cleaning up the battlefield." The old steamed bun ran over and said.

Chen Fei frowned and said, "What about the bison?" ”

The old steamed bun was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "It's not clear, I'll send someone to take a look at it immediately." “

"No need, let He Wenbin send troops to reinforce it, it is estimated that it is still fighting." Chen Fei said.

"Yes, yes." The old steamed bun replied and went to send a report immediately.

"Chen Fang!" Chen Fei shouted to Chen Fang not far away.

Chen Fang stepped forward quickly and said, "Commander." ”

"Let all units report the casualties immediately, and let Lao Zhangtou also count the ammunition situation." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Chen Fang was simply authentic.

Chen Fei only relieved his mind at this time, sat on the edge of the trench, took out a cigarette and took a sharp puff, Chen Fei looked at the busy communication office next to him and said, "Xiaomei, is there any news in Hengyang?" ”

"Nope." Liu Xiaomei looked up and replied.

"It's good if you don't have it, otherwise there will be no point in sacrificing so much." Chen Fei replied softly.

After Chen Fei finished speaking, he pinched his cigarette and fell asleep while sitting.

He Wenbin received the order to immediately send Tong Kai regiment to reinforce the Shenxian Cave, although the Xiaolin brigade in the Shenxian Cave was harassed by the bison and had a headache, but at least the water source was still in his hands, but he didn't expect him to receive the order to retreat, Xiaolin did not hesitate at all, and immediately issued an order to break through, the bison was not prepared, and suddenly the devil troops rushed out, he hurriedly gathered the troops and followed the attack.

Xiao Lin was also unlucky, he didn't understand whether the retreat would allow him to leave Wogou Ling or go to the headquarters to stand by. He didn't know the frontal battle situation, thinking that he wanted him to go to the top of the mountain, but he didn't expect to collide with Tong Kaituan.

"Da Da Da!"

"Bang bang bang!" Tong Kai's shotgun, the dense bullets of the submachine gun knocked down the oncoming devils one after another, due to the close march, neither side sent scouts, whoever shot fast, who would seize the opportunity.

"Spread out, spread out! Hit me hard! Tong Kai shouted.

The Kobayashi brigade also reacted quickly, and immediately raised its guns to return fire, and at this time, the special service battalion teaching team that followed up from behind attacked under the leadership of Bison.

"Grenade! Hand grenade! Bison shouted.

The Xiaolin brigade had nearly a thousand people, but it didn't take long to be surrounded by Tong Kai's regiment and the bison regiment.

Shooting is a nice thing to say, and slaughter is the right way to describe it.

The little devils didn't even have a chance to surrender, they were killed one after another, and they fought happily.

"Stop shooting, stop shooting! The commander of the third battalion cleaned up the battlefield. Tong Kai shouted.

None of the devils in front were alive, and as soon as the gunfire stopped, the commander of the third battalion took a company forward to check.

At this time, the bison stepped forward quickly, and when he saw Tong Kai, he immediately said: "Commander Tong, thanks to your arrival, otherwise this little devil will run away, by the way, the battle in front is over?" ”

"It's over, the commander is worried about what is wrong with you here, so he asked me to take a look." Tong Kai replied.

Bison scratched his scalp and said, "If you don't complete the task, you will probably be scolded to death by the commander when you go back." ”

"Hahaha, you bison will also be afraid, okay, take Wogou Ridge, it's too late for the commander to be happy, go, go." Tong Kai said with a smile.

Chen Fei woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon, sitting and sleeping, making him feel a sore back, he rubbed his eyes, "Commander, the battle in front is all over, annihilate a brigade of devils." Seeing Chen Fei wake up, the old steamed bun ran over and said.

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Have the casualties of the troops been counted?" ”

"They came out, with five thousand eight hundred and seventy-two sacrifices and three hundred and eighty-six seriously wounded."

Chen Fang, who was next to him, immediately said.

"It's all brothers who fought with their lives,

"Let's go, go to Wogou Ridge." Chen Fei got up and said.

The troops directly under the army followed the commander one after another, and there was no laughter, no joy of victory after the war, and some were just sad for the sacrificed soldiers.
