The officers and men of the first battalion of the charge finally saw hope, and the Japanese machine guns and firearms on the high ground came into the eyes of the officers and men of the charge, and the deputy battalion commander took the Czech-style magazine of the dead machine gunner and rushed over with a shout of killing.

Seeing this, the Japanese troops on the high ground also strengthened their firepower, and the overwhelming rain of bullets came over, and the deputy battalion commander who had just applied the fight had fallen to the ground at this time, and some brave soldiers risked their lives to throw grenades, but unfortunately, the distance of more than 100 meters was too far, and only a few could be thrown on the high ground of the Japanese army.

The screams came one after another, but the charging team inevitably stopped more than 100 meters away from the Japanese position, and the living soldiers lay on the ground, regardless of aiming, and shot at the high ground in the distance. The two companies at the time of the charge, the team of nearly 300 people, now there are only more than 100 people left, and the only remaining company commander organizes the soldiers to fight back, and now the offensive has been thwarted and there is no way back.

I don't know who said it; "Run, the deputy battalion commanders are dead." The soldiers retreated one after another, and the company commander knew that he was unable to attack, so he also controlled the troops and retreated as far back as possible.

The attack failed, the casualties were heavy, the two companies of the attack suffered more than 150 casualties, and the corpses fell in front of the Japanese position, and the Japanese casualties were less than 30 people.

The commander of the first battalion watched all this in the advancing trench, and his heart hurt like a knife, his own troops suffered more than 100 casualties, but they still did not take it, three infantry companies, and now he still has a complete infantry company and heavy machine gun company left in his hands.

"Quick!" The retreating soldiers gradually returned to the forward position, and the bloodied second company commander crawled over and bowed his head guiltily.

"The battalion seat, if it is not defeated, the first company commander and the deputy battalion commander are martyred."

The commander of the first battalion patted him and did not speak, and the signal corps had already gone to report to the regiment commander Chen Chunyi, and the first attack failed. The commander of the first battalion was unwilling, and he also wanted to personally lead the team to rush once.

Chen Chunyi saw the failure of the attack in the telescope, the troops suffered heavy losses, and half of the casualties of the first battalion were killed and wounded at once, he had to hurry up to launch the next attack, it was really impossible to let the second battalion go up, this was his idea, and he would not blame the commander of the first battalion, Chen Chunyi saw it, the attacking troops fought very bravely and fiercely, but it was a pity that the terrain of the Japanese army was too good, and the support firepower in the regiment could not be pulled and hit.

The 6 82 mortars of the mortar company of the regiment had all been pulled up, and Chen Chunyi decided to fight again, although the effect of the mortars would not be too good, because the terrain of the Japanese army was too good, and the two sides were too far apart, and the accuracy would be greatly reduced, but he had to fight.

Just as he was preparing, the signal corps sent by the commander of the first battalion came, and according to the commander of the first battalion, he was ready to use the last strength in his hand to fight again, to live up to the expectations of the regiment commander, and hoped that the regiment commander would give some support.

Chen Chunyi did not object, sent the signal corpsman back, and asked him to convey to the commander of the first battalion that he would provide fire support. It will take a while to transfer the second battalion up, and it will take time to enter the forward position, he can't afford to delay it at all, let's fight,

On the side of the first battalion commander, he decided to personally lead the team, the remnants of the first and second companies, plus the three companies that did not participate in the attack just now, all went out, and launched another attack, and the six heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun company were responsible for covering, obviously this distance was too far, but what the first battalion commander wanted was interference shooting, not accuracy, as long as all the bullets were hit on the devil's position.

"All of them, get on the bayonet, get ready." Seeing that his remnants were ready, the commander of the first battalion took the lead in jumping out of the trench.

"Kill!" More than 300 people jumped up and made the Japanese see the bloody nature of the Chinese soldiers with stubborn attacks.

At the same time, the advancing Zhang Wei and the independent company had already slowed down, and the guns and shouts of killing in the distance had already reminded them that a battle had just passed ahead, and the Japanese occupied the high ground and killed the attacking national army, and the national army had paid a heavy price in casualties, but it still failed to capture the position.

Zhang Wei and the officers and men of the independent company had just witnessed the end of the final retreat, and the platoon commander of the 4th Division next to him almost rushed forward when he saw that his brother had suffered heavy casualties, but was fortunately stopped by Zhang Wei's men. Zhang Wei and the officers and men of the independent company lay down.

Zhang Wei crawled to where the platoon commander of the 4th Division was. His platoon has been following Zhang Wei's actions to stabilize his mood, and this platoon commander listened to Zhang Wei's words and knew that he shouldn't have acted brutally just now.

Boom, a few shells fell near the high ground, the accuracy was average, but this time it was a continuous bombardment, this was an 82 mm mortar shell, it was obvious that the 4th Division launched a new round of attack, but Zhang Wei did not plan to move, his own people are still on the flank, and they can fully cooperate with them, but now is not the time, wait until the troops of the 4th Division rush closer, and then attack themselves, the effect will definitely be better.

"Dong Erli, your mortar squad is ready, first go to dig a trench to advance, stop at an appropriate distance, and then dig a mortar position. Be careful. Zhang Wei first asked Dong Erli's mortar squad to dig trenches and advance, and sent He Kun's platoon to cover them.

The next thing is to wait, and when the troops of the 4th Division rush closer, as soon as their mortars sound, they will all charge.

Chen Chun immediately ordered the 82 mortar company of the regiment to cover with all his might, and the mortar company commander who received the order directly ordered rapid fire, each gun fired at least 10 shells, and more than 60 shells were fired.

This was the first sign that the Japanese army had been struggling since occupying the Tiger Mountain Heights.

"Kill!" The shouts of the Chinese army came again, followed by the usual shooting and counterattack. Zhang Wei lay on the ground, observing the charging distance of the Chinese army through the grass, there were still more than 200 meters, he couldn't be in a hurry now, he had to wait until more than 100 meters before fighting.

Calm down, Zhang Wei continued to observe.

On Dong Erli's side, a traffic trench had been dug up, more than 20 meters forward, and with the help of the grass, a temporary mortar circular fortification was dug up, and Dong Erli carefully placed the mortar seat with the soldiers of the mortar squad, and installed the gun body and gun mount.

Dong Erli estimated the distance by visual inspection, adjusted the elevation angle of the mortar, and determined the approximate azimuth angle through the simple sight on the mortar.

Everything was ready, and next to the mortars, there were mortar shells carried by the soldiers little by little, more than thirty rounds, neatly stacked in the fortifications.

He Kun's people are also scattered in the grass to be on guard, and the mortar squad is the treasure of the company, in case someone gives it to him, it will be miserable.

The gunfire and shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and Zhang Wei's scheduled attack distance was approaching, and at his signal, the soldiers loaded their bayonets and the machine gunners opened the safe. The grenadier group in the infantry squad was also ready, and when Zhang Wei gave the order to charge, they would be ready to fire.

The atmosphere is getting more and more tense, and the battle is on the verge of breaking out.
