Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Japanese War

Shan Pass looked at the offensive momentum of the Chongqing Army and slowly felt the direction, rhythm and intensity of the Chongqing Army's attack, and immediately began to adjust the deployment of troops. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As soon as the second-line position attacked by the spy company was occupied, it was counterattacked by the devils with all their might. When the spy company was almost unable to withstand it, reinforcements from the three regiments came up.

At a glance, the deputy commander of the third regiment knew that it was a cultural person, Si Swenwen, who was not in a hurry or slow to speak, but his thinking was very quick, and he was probably a steady person like the chief of staff.

"Heavy get over there to the rocks." The deputy commander said to the heavy machine-gun group, pointing to a rock on the left, a good machine-gun position.

The devil's attack is very fast, probably because of the attack from the top down, even if it comes down, it is very fast.

As soon as Chen Fei saw this situation, he immediately knew that the devil was determined to recapture the second-line position.

"Ding San, transfer the artillery company assigned to Liu Meng, quick!" Chen Fei said to Ding Sandao.

"Yes!" Ding San replied and immediately ran towards the second regiment.

When the Third Regiment and the spy company were almost overwhelmed, the artillery support of the old guns came up. A burst of mortar shelling from the old guns relieved the temporary crisis of the 3rd Regiment and the Special Service Company. Chen Fei looked at the battle situation in front of him, and said that if it was daytime, the devil might have successfully counterattacked.

"Ding San, you immediately go to the Houshanjiang Defense Army and tell the two division commanders that one is prosperous and the other is lost." Chen Fei said to Ding Sandao.

"Yes!" Ding San Hui ran quickly towards the defense line of the Jiang Defense Army.

At this time, a communicator of the first regiment ran over and said: "Brigade commander, our regiment commander said that he has advanced to the second-line position, and hopes that the brigade commander can allocate a few more mortars to support." ”

Chen Fei immediately said: "Okay, send three more reinforcements, and tell your regiment commander that he hopes he can occupy the second-line position before dawn." ”

"Yes!" The correspondent replied and reported immediately.

Chen Fei thought that as long as he could occupy two second-line positions, he would be able to expand the results of the battle and fully occupy the second-line trenches.

At this time, the intensity of the attack in the back mountain suddenly increased, and the dense gunfire and explosions all told Chen Feijiang that the defense army was desperate.

Yamaguchi was stunned, and the Chongqing army suddenly strengthened the offensive in the back mountain, making Yamaguchi confused.

This kind of loose and tight tactics is the first time that Yamaguchi has seen it, and it seems that the second-line position cannot be defended. Yamaguchi immediately ordered the whole army to begin a planned contraction of the third-line position.

The third-line trench was formed by two pillboxes as the center and relying on each other. Bunker No. 1 is large, Bunker No. 2 is smaller, and both trenches can move around each other to support each other. The headquarters of the mountain pass was in the basement of pillbox No. 1, although it was not large, but it was well equipped, communications, ammunition depots.

Yamaguchi confidently thought at his desk in the basement about how much the Chongqing army would have to pay to break through here.

When Chen Fei heard that all the regiments had successfully attacked the second-line position, how could it be so smooth all of a sudden, and all the regiments began to prepare to continue the attack, Chen Fei ordered the whole line to stop the attack. Chen Fei was afraid that the devil would set a trap.

The liaison officer of the Jiang Defense Army ran over and said, "Why did General Chen stop attacking?" ”

"The troops need to adjust their combat plan, you wait for the next attack order." Chen Fei said.

Although the Jiang Defense Army sent major generals from division-level units, the Military Commission demanded that the two divisions obey Chen Fei's orders. But Chen Fei could only order them to attack the location and direction, and don't even think about anything else.

Chen Fei thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand why the devil would give up the second-line position, and the sky gradually brightened.

"Ding San, order Lao Zhangtou to send some food up, so that the soldiers can eat and drink enough, and prepare to fight again." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Ding San replied and went to arrange it immediately.

Chen Fei looked at the bunker in the distance and thought of countermeasures. The chief of staff hurriedly ran over and said, "Brigade commander, our brigade suffered huge losses in the first battle last night, and nearly 1,000 people were killed and wounded. ”

"Ah, so many, damn, they're all veterans, they're all my elite." Chen Fei said sadly.

The two were silent for a while.

Chen Fei said: "Readjust the troops, move quickly, and the battle below will be even more difficult." ”

"Yes, the brigade commander or each regiment adjusts it by itself, otherwise the action is too big and it is not conducive to the run-in of the soldiers." The chief of staff said.

"Okay!" Chen Fei said.

"How many casualties are the devils?" Chen Fei said again.

"There are more than 300 bodies, plus injuries, probably around 500." The chief of staff said.

"We don't have heavy artillery, we have to bombard him a few times, and the devils in such a small place will not suffer heavy casualties." The chief of staff said again.

"yes, it's all about being bullied." Chen Fei said solemnly.

"What is the chief of staff?" Chen Fei said again.

The chief of staff shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's really not, this terrain can only be hard-hitting." ”

"Then find a breakthrough and focus on a breakthrough." Chen Fei said.

"Zhao Liu, it's there, the terrain is flat and conducive to the deployment of troops." The chief of staff said.

"Okay, then that's it, let's assemble the troops over there, start the attack at eight o'clock, the attack is not divided into front and back, the four regiments are each looking for a breakthrough, the attack must be fierce and the action must be resolute, go!" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The chief of staff replied, turned around and went to make arrangements.

"Ding San, go and tell the Jiang Defense Army that the attack will start at eight o'clock, and it cannot be stopped without an order, the fire must be fierce, the attack must not be interrupted, and even if it cannot be attacked, it must remain in a state of shooting." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Ding San replied and prepared to leave.

"Wait, tell the two division commanders that they will report to the Military Commission if they take Grandma Ridge." Chen Fei said again.

"Yes!" Ding San replied.

Chen Fei thought that if there were no these two divisions, he really wouldn't be able to take Grandma Ling.

At this time, Liu Xiaomei ran over and said: "Brigade commander, the Military Commission is in an emergency, and many Japanese troops are approaching Fushan. ”

"yes, got it." Chen Fei said.

"Do you want to call back?" Liu Xiaomei said.

"Okay, Grandma Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although there was a breakthrough in the attack last night, the casualties were too great, I hope the Military Commission will support." Chen Fei said.

Buzzing・・・・・・ Chen Fei was stunned and shouted: "Devil plane, hidden~hidden~"

After a while, four planes arrived, and immediately bombed the area around Grandma Ridge, and the flames soared into the sky, and several large trees began to catch fire.

Fortunately, the devil is not very clear about the target, and he is afraid of throwing the bomb on the ridge, although it seems that the bombing is very fierce, but the effect is not very good.

Chen Fei looked at the distant plane and spat out the dirt in his mouth.

"Damn, this is the jungle, your plane bombing is a. Ding San, order the troops to prepare! Chen Fei gritted his teeth and said.

After a while, the chief of staff ran over and said, "Brigade commander, the troops are ready!" ”

Chen Fei looked at his watch and said, "Okay, I'll go over too." ”

The two came to the troop assembly area. Chen Fei looked at the soldiers of the Independent Brigade: "Brothers, the devil is on the ridge, and the devil of a wing dares to swagger into the Guotong area, I only have one word, kill him!" Chen Fei shouted.

"him~him~" The warriors shouted loudly.

Chen Fei looked at his watch, eight o'clock.

Chen Fei picked up the submachine gun and shouted, "Rush with me!" ”

"Kill!" Zhao Liu followed accordingly.

The troops began to rush towards the trenches of the devil's third line.

The artillery company of the old gun opened fire first, and Chen Fei led the soldiers to charge forward with the artillery fire.

"Watermelon, you bring me a few good marksmanship and keep an eye on the devil, heavy machine gunner and grenadiers." Chen Fei shouted.

"Understood, Brigadier Commander!" Watermelon replied.

Yamaguchi was hiding in the No. 1 pillbox, and when he heard the fierce gunfire outside, he immediately came out to observe, and was attacked by the Chongqing army in front of and behind the ridge.

"Oda, have you noticed that the enemy is attacking from other directions?" The mountain pass arrives to the scout on the side.

Scout Oda said: "No, sir, there are only two attacks in the front and rear, and I think it may be that these two terrains are conducive to the deployment of troops." ”

"Well, keep an eye on it!" Yamaguchi was full of eyes.

"Hey!" Oda paste.

Yamaguchi is confident that he will be able to wait for reinforcements.

A regiment of the Jiang Defense Army stationed here left them a lot of ammunition and food, which was one of the sources of confidence for the mountain pass. Fortified trenches are also a source of increased confidence.

The third-line trenches were more solid than the first-line and second-line trenches, and with the addition of two pillboxes, Yamaguchi was full of disbelief that any Chongqing army could attack Grandma's Ridge.

"Except for the observation post, the first brigade is ordered to resolutely block the enemy from the rear mountain, the second brigade and the third brigade are to block the enemy in front, and the rest of the troops are all entering the pillbox." Yamaguchi's orders were passed down one by one, and the Japanese army began to adjust the arrangement and began to attack the Chongqing army in a targeted manner.

Chen Fei's independent brigade attacked fiercely, but the devil's defense was not weak, and they were all deadly shots.

Gradually, Chen Fei felt that he couldn't do it, although the heavy machine gun was suppressed, but the devil's infantry marksmanship was too accurate, and the casualties of the independent brigade slowly increased.

"Find cover, climb up slowly, lie down, the old gun will put the mortar up!" Chen Fei shouted.

Chen Fei wanted to move quickly with the mortar point, but he was still suppressed by the devil and could only crawl forward slowly. When the troops were approaching the third-line position, the devils in the pillbox opened fire. Four or five heavy machine guns in the pillboxes blocked the offensive route of the Separate Brigade at once.

"Damn, what should I do? Brigade! Zhao Liu crawled over and said.

Chen Fei looked at his watch and had been attacking for more than two hours.

"Withdraw, all withdraw to the second-line position, pay attention to vigilance!" Chen Fei said helplessly.

"Ding San, go and tell the Jiang Defense Army to withdraw, withdraw to the second-line position, and pay attention to the devil's counterattack!" Chen Fei shouted.

"Yes!" Ding San replied and ran away immediately.

The troops slowly and orderly retreated.

"Call the chief of staff and the regimental commanders." Chen Fei said to Guo Liang.

"Yes!" Guo Liang replied and immediately went to call.

After a while, the crowd came.

"It's all here, sitting on the grass, it's still clean." Chen Fei smiled.

"Brigade commander, I'm sorry, I didn't attack!" The old dog said dejectedly.

The crowd fell silent.

"Haha, it's okay, come, smoke, smoke, damn, if we can't attack it, let's find a way together!" Chen Fei said with a smile.

"Damn, depressed, the devil's firepower is too fierce, especially two pillboxes, and a few heavy machine guns blocked the hillside at once." Zhao Liudao.

"Brigade commander, if you don't rush again, I don't believe I can't attack, damn!" Liu Meng said viciously.

", if you can, you can go up and attack it just now." Zhao Liuda scolded.

"Don't talk about it, listen to the brigade commander." The chief of staff said.

"I can't help it, this devil's defense is too tight." Chen Fei said.

Although Chen Fei looks very relaxed, he is under a lot of pressure in his heart, time passes little by little, there is no good way but to work hard, and the whole tour may die here.

"We don't have much time, many units of the Japanese army are approaching Fushan, and the Jiang Defense Army is also doing its best to attack, now it's up to us to see if we can eat this devil!" Chen Fei said.

"After the battle just now, I still feel that the attack during the day is inappropriate, the goal is too clear, the soldiers are exposed to the fire of the devils, and the marksmanship of the devils is generally very accurate, our casualties are too great, and in the end we can only all die under this hillside." Chen Fei said again.

"So tonight is the last attack, and I will let the soldiers rest for a while, eat and drink well, and sleep well, and when it gets dark, I will make a hammer deal, but I will arrange for the spy company, reconnaissance company, and guard company to attack from different directions, and strive to get close to the pillbox and blow him up, so that the pressure on each regiment will be less." Chen Fei said.

"The brigade commander means a combination of a frontal attack and a flank sneak attack!" The chief of staff added.

Everyone kept nodding, and that was the only way.
