Chapter 560: Enemy Artillery Position (Page 1/1)

The forward searchers of the engineer platoon saw two Japanese soldiers on guard with guns, all riflemen, each holding a 38 rifle, one of them half-crouching, guarding the direction of the road, and the other person was patrolling around, spying on the two Japanese engineer platoon forwards, smelling the bloody smell of this fierce battle area, and carefully observing the two Japanese soldiers in the vegetation and unevenly distributed dry grass.

"Early ......"

"Yaga!"

In the midst of the gunfire of the 598th Regiment's attack on the Luotang Heights, the forward search soldiers of the engineer platoon seemed to hear intermittent human voices and shouts in front of them.

The rumbling gunfire and cannon sound took away the attraction of the Japanese army, and at the same time, it also slightly affected the judgment of the brothers of the engineer platoon on the human voice.

The division of labor between the two exposed Japanese sentries was very clear, one stared at the side of the road, and the other swam around, very vigilant, and the only way for the reconnaissance troops to reach the pass was just blocked by these two.

Similarly, around the two sentries, there were still many corpses and stumps of the National soldiers, but there were no weapons left except the bodies of the National soldiers, and the long-handled grenades, rifles and cartridge belts of the National soldiers were missing.

In the vegetation, on the ground, were dozens of corpses of national soldiers who had been taken away from their weapons and equipment, blood and water mixed with mud and craters from grenades, and the corpses that had been left for a long time already emitted a stench.

The sapper platoon who discovered the situation did not dare to act rashly.

The three people who served as reconnaissance tasks were the sergeant squad leader of the first squad of the engineer platoon, the sergeant deputy squad leader and another corporal, they were ordered to take the lead for all the reconnaissance troops, and the three of them crawled behind the vegetation, staring at the two devils in the distance, and after discovering the Japanese sentry, the sergeant squad leader decisively gestured to warn the main force of the engineer platoon behind.

Zhang Wei and the rest of the engineer platoon brothers, after discovering the corpses of the soldiers of the 200th Division, advanced only more than 20 meters, and then stopped, Zhang Wei did not dare to act rashly, after his own soldiers sent a warning signal, Zhang Wei only ordered all the soldiers to prepare for battle, waiting for the news of the forward.

The three search forwards are now lurking behind the vegetation, planning how to deal with these two devils, the veterans of the three engineer platoons, preemptively kill the two Japanese sentinels, it is not a difficult task, but this is in the Japanese defense area, and the three of them do not dare to attack easily.

"Squad leader, do you want to be them?"

After the vegetation, the three of them discussed in a very small voice, and the three veterans knew that they were in a hurry, and in the enemy's defense area, one wrong step was a wrong step.

The sergeant of the three took twenty rings and asked the sergeant squad leader.

The sergeant squad leader shook his head decisively: "No, there are two devil sentinels here, maybe there are them somewhere else, doing them is equivalent to startling the grass and snakes, no." ”

Sergeant: "Squad leader, what then?" ”

The sergeant squad leader still had experience, and after careful consideration, he gave up the idea of attacking the two Japanese sentries first.

"Don't do it, take a few steps back, let's search around again to find out how many devils there are, and then we will start!"

At present, there are only two Japanese sentries that the three of them can identify, and these three people, in the case of not knowing whether there are still Japanese sentries around, the sergeant squad leader has wisely chosen a plan, that is, not to do anything to these two Japanese soldiers who are blocking the way, but to closely search the surroundings and then act according to the specific situation.

"Let's go!"

The squad leader stayed where he was, holding the German-made twenty rings, aiming at the two Japanese sentinels, while the corporal and the sergeant, the two men divided into the left and right flanks, and began to search for the other Japanese sentinels, and the corporal and sergeant acted cautiously, quickly and carefully searching for the nearby Japanese sentries.

"Boom" There was another loud bang in the direction of the Luotan Heights, and the 598th Regiment intensified its bombardment, and the task of the two forwards to find the enemy, accompanied by artillery fire, was carried out in a tense and meticulous manner, and the two moved quickly, and it took three or four minutes to search in a low posture, or to search for vegetation, and to be cautious, but they did not find any trace of the Japanese sentry, and there was not even the slightest movement.

In fact, the sergeant's squad leader's decision-making was very wise, and the sound they heard when they approached the two Japanese sentries was the sound of the Japanese brigade retreating, to be precise, because of the fire attack of the 598th Regiment, the Japanese troops guarding the Luotang Heights were preparing to deal with the infantry attack of the 598th Regiment, and the troops on the heights needed to be strengthened, so the Japanese commanders on the Luotang Heights ordered the infantry near the pass to shrink back to defense.

You must know that the total number of the Japanese garrison at Kunlun Pass is less than 2,000 people, and the 598th Regiment's firepower attack on the Luotang Heights is so fierce that it can only shrink its forces and strengthen the defense of the heights.

The defense near the pass was the defenders of the Luotang Heights, and the defenders of the Jieshou Heights each sent a part, and the 600th Regiment of the 200th Division attacking the pass was ambushed by these two Japanese troops at the same time, and the losses were heavy, and now, the Japanese troops on this side of Luotang have withdrawn and joined the defense of the Luotang Heights.

The 598th Regiment's firepower was now effectively played a role in Zhang Wei's reconnaissance, and the Japanese troops on the Luotang Heights were forced by the 598th Regiment's firepower to mobilize almost all the infantry that could be mobilized to go to the high ground.

The front is airtight, but the side is behind, but Zhang Wei, a very elite small force, has taken advantage of the loophole.

Although the Japanese troops on the Jieshou Heights still left their troops to keep an eye on the pass, Zhang Wei led a mere 30 people to advance in the vegetation, and as long as they didn't shoot and run around, they couldn't find Zhang Wei's people on the other side of the road.

There were two soldiers left here at the pass, and the reconnaissance troops led by Zhang Wei arrived at this place by coincidence, and they just touched here after the Japanese brigade withdrew.

The corporal and sergeant of the forward, seeing that the search was fruitless, reported the reconnaissance results to the sergeant squad leader, and in order to ensure the certainty, Zhang Wei continued, and the news was passed to Zhang Wei in the back.

……

Two minutes later, the engineer platoon all pounced, in the muddy field, there were two more corpses of Japanese soldiers stabbed to death by bayonets, after these two people were killed, Zhang Wei quickly rushed forward, tried to rely on the side of Luotang Heights, searched all the way forward, took the rear of Luotang Heights as the goal of advancement, bypassed, and on the way, touched four more sentries.

In the end, the reconnaissance unit did not encounter scattered Japanese sentries again, and went around to the flank of the Luotang Heights, where they encountered groups of Japanese troops, and Zhang Wei asked the troops to stop in the grass and vegetation at the bottom of the anticline of the heights. More than 300 meters away, is the tall Luotang Plateau anticline.

On the anti-slope of the high ground, there was a Japanese artillery position.

Zhang Wei raised the binoculars, he could easily observe the Japanese artillery at the anticline, and he could also hear the shouts of the Japanese army.

On the anti-slope, two types of mortars were deployed, with a total of six guns, and Zhang Wei took the telescope to see two mortars with a similar caliber to the 20-year-old model made in China. The other four mortar guns were slightly larger in caliber, and the barrels were thicker than the suspected 82 mortars on the side.
