Chapter 343: The Loss of the Heights (I)

After the plane bombardment was over, the 113th Wing of the Japanese Army carried 12 infantry guns and a large number of artillery shells and special ammunition to the south of Jinguan Bridge, and marched towards the highlands in the northwest of Hezhou.

"Commander, the devil is here!" In the highland position in the northwest of the 13th Regiment on He Zhou, the panting sentries kicked and rushed to the regiment headquarters, shouting as they ran,

"How far is it from here? Where did it come from? Isn't it east! Wang Zhaohua asked,

"No, Captain, from the west; A large area of Wuyang is definitely a main unit! There are also a large number of pack horses in the back, carrying supplies. It is only 800 meters from the position at most. The sentry roared,

"A battalion, turning to the west to arrange defenses; The 2nd Battalion urgently formed defensive positions behind the first-line positions; The three battalions looked at the other directions! Hurry up! Wang Zhaohua roared,

The defensive positions on the highlands in the northwest of Hezhou are all trenches and defenses built close to the east and north, after all, the main force of the devils is assembling and attacking there, and they did not expect that the devils suddenly appeared from the west, and they must build a good position before the devils come.

There was only one thirteenth regiment defending on the high ground, and the fifteenth regiment was still in the basin to the west, and the headquarters of the eighth brigade was also in the basin; Zhou Qingxiang didn't want to put all his troops on the position, so the artillery bombardment of the devils would cause heavy casualties among the brothers, and he planned to reinforce the positions when the war was urgent, but according to the trend of the devils' attack, I am afraid that the devils' artillery positions and departure positions are in the middle of the two regiments, which completely blocks the road for the two regiments to reinforce each other......

"The third brigade, to set up defensive positions on the spot against the Shina attacking from the rear and from the flanks; The 1st Brigade prepared to attack, the infantry artillery formed positions on the spot, and a squadron of infantry artillery accompanied the 1st Brigade to attack; The 2nd Brigade is ready to support at any time! "Kendai Iino ordered,

It is only 500 meters away from the defensive position of the Shina people, and you can see the busy person on the position by relying on the telescope, and Iino Kentensa is also afraid of the cold guns and cold guns of the Shina people, so he changes into a soldier's costume and climbs behind the sandbag to observe the situation on the high ground;

"Yo Si! Isn't it too late for that stupid person to think about building a defensive position now? Kenten Iino smiled proudly,

"Wing Commander, the infantry artillery has been prepared and is ready to launch an artillery attack!" The squadron leader of the infantry artillery squadron reported that it was the first time he had commanded 12 infantry guns, and that the squadron leader was eager to see the power of the artillery bombardment, although the infantry guns were not as powerful as those heavy and field guns; However, under his own command, the infantry artillery could more accurately clear the fire points of the Chinese people and cover the attack of the warriors;

"Open the artillery with all your might, prepare half the base of artillery fire, and destroy the first-line position of the people of China for me!" Kenten Iino ordered,

"Hello!" The squadron leader turned and ran away,

"Fire!" The squadron leader of the infantry artillery commanded,

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Eight infantry guns were lined up in two rows, the muzzles of the guns shook at the same time, and the shells roared towards the defense line of the 13th Regiment as if they had eyes......

Seeing that the devil's infantry cannon began to fire, Wang Zhaohua put down the binoculars in his hand and shouted loudly,

"Devils shelling, hiding on the spot, all hiding!"

Now the devil's position is 500 meters away, and he doesn't dare to enter the anti-artillery hole, so he can only squat in the trench and suffer, but fortunately, the artillery of the devil's infantry artillery is not very powerful, and the brothers of the first battalion crawl in the trench and wait for the devil's shelling to pass, and the brothers of the second battalion are staying in the pit they dug themselves......

The shells whizzed across a distance of 500 meters, landed on the position, and splashed the dead branches and leaves, and the devil's infantry poured out of the position like a tidal wave, and poured into tactical squads towards the high ground.

The attacking infantry carried crooked handles, and several soldiers carried the Type 92 heavy machine gun together, and after crossing the distance of 400, the machine gun squadron of the 113th Wing directly built a heavy machine gun position 400 meters in front of the position of the 13th Regiment;

"Kill and give!"

The heavy machine gun positions behind were still being constructed, and the Japanese attacking infantry had no intention of stopping and waiting, and the junior officers shouted the slogan of the attack and came towards the position of the 13th Regiment;

The attacking devil infantry dispersed into a tactical formation, bent over, and the heavy machine gun squadron behind also moved quickly, put down the heavy machine gun, opened the ammunition box, and adjusted the angle of fire;

"Knock knock knock...... the devil's heavy machine gun opened fire the moment the infantry ran to stop the shelling;

The bullets of the heavy machine gun "poof, poof, poof" hit the land on the edge of the trench, the mud and sand splattered the brothers in the trench, feeling the bullets flying overhead, the recruits of the thirteenth regiment from the supplementary battalion squatted in the trench with pale faces, the bullets above their heads were as terrible as their nightmares, and the veterans who had experienced the crow mountain looked as usual, and went back and forth on the battlefield of blood and fire a few times, they had long been accustomed to the devil's attack method, and the commanders had not yet given the order to shoot, so they calmly pulled the bolt in the trench, Loaded the bullet and waited for the officer's order......

"Brother, borrow a fire!" The veteran next to him was smoking a pipe, and a veteran took out the Japanese cigarette captured in the last battle, took out the last one, and cherished it in his hand to borrow fire from others;

Seeing that the veterans were preparing for battle, a recruit twisted the back cover of the grenade, and his trembling hands betrayed his nervous heart, and he didn't unscrew it for a long time,

"Don't be nervous, remember what my brother told you, devils are also human; Pay attention to how the brothers next to them dodge the bullets. A veteran demonstrated how to unscrew the back cover of a grenade, and the veteran's calmness and calmness made the recruit's mood relax a lot;

The brothers in the trenches did not know where the devils had arrived, and the shouts of the devils outside the trenches became clearer and clearer, and the veterans and recruits held rifles on top of the fire, and looked intently at the commanders, waiting for orders;

"Fire!" The sound of Wang Zhaohua's shouting penetrated a long distance, and many of the brothers in the trenches could hear it;

"Call me!" The voices of the grassroots officers kept ringing,

The soldiers in the trenches poked their heads out one after another, and some of the veterans still had cigarettes in their mouths, and they didn't care, and the infantry aiming at the devils attacked opened fire;

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Da, da, da......"

"Puff puff ......"

The roars of rifles and Czech machine guns rang out, and the ghost soldiers who rushed ahead were hit by bullets and rolled to the ground, screaming from the front of the position.......

The 113th Wing was re-formed by the 106th Division with nearly 1,000 soldiers from the logistics, but these devil soldiers were not like recruits, watching their comrades die by their side, they continued to maintain a tactical formation under the order of Jun Cao, bent down to attack the position, found good cover, and squatted down to shoot at the defenders who poked their heads out of the position;

"Puff puff ......"

Under the accurate fire of the devil's infantry, at a distance of 300 meters, the devil's marksmanship was still accurate and terrifying, and more than a dozen brothers were hit and fell into the trench with a miserable howl;
