Chapter 142: The Attack and Defense of Yaque Mountain (23)

The heavy artillery of the 29th Group Army was very loud and moving, and the effect of landing was also very good, but the time of the shelling was too short, the shells were too few, and a total of ten shells fell on the hill, no matter how accurate the artillery of the National Army was, it did not dare to guarantee that each shell would accurately hit the Japanese defense line, and the shelling was originally a probability, except for large-scale covered shelling, otherwise the effect was not so great;

Now this is the case with Xiaoshanliang, Wang Zhaohua, who was watching from a distance, admired his artillery support, and the Japanese army retreated frantically towards the mountain, but two of the heavy artillery shells that fell on the position hit the perimeter of the trench, and the rest fell around Shanliang, but the noise was really not small......

As soon as the Japanese saw that the shelling had stopped, they immediately returned to the trenches without running far, and directly pounced on the defensive line in the trenches, staring at the charging Chinese soldiers;

The 1st Battalion of the 13th Regiment marched lightly, carrying no heavy machine guns and mortars, only Czech light machine guns and rifles, and the soldiers went into battle with rifles and a few grenades on their backs......

The defenders on the ridge of the hill are the third squadron of the Kimura Brigade, the other two squadrons are still resting and eating at the bottom of the mountain, the artillery position is still in the position at the bottom of the mountain, and before they have time to move forward, watching the troops of a battalion of the Shina people attack, the captain squadron leader of the devil did not dare to slack off, and ordered to shoot when the Shina army entered 300 meters......

"Da Da Da ......" "Dong Dong Dong ......"

The devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun and crooked light machine gun fired along the charging soldiers, and at a glance, more than a dozen brothers fell directly in a pool of blood......

"Get down,; What kind of shelling is this! It doesn't work much! Why are there so many machine guns in the mountains? The commander of the first battalion scolded,

Fortunately, at this time, the devil's artillery could not open artillery, if the artillery was fired, the shells would have to cross the mountain beam, although they were still within range, but the effect was not very good, and they could not control the landing point of the shells, and the casualties of all the attacking battalions were not large......

"Get down on the spot, don't attack forward!" The commander of the first battalion ordered, and he slowly crawled backwards......

"Commander, no! The devils on the mountain have a strong defensive line and a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and our mortars and heavy machine guns are still behind, and there is no way to attack them! The commander of the first battalion said dejectedly,

"What artillery support! Can't afford to make a few more shots? Wang Zhaohua muttered,

However, Wang Zhaohua also knew that China's national defense industry could not make its own heavy artillery and artillery shells, and all artillery shells and heavy artillery were bought from abroad, so there was not much artillery shell reserves at all.

"Order the troops to withdraw and wait for the mortars in the back to arrive before starting the attack!" Wang Zhaohua ordered,

"Yes, Captain!" The commander of the first battalion hurriedly ran forward, opened his voice and shouted,

"Withdraw it for me!" In just a few moments, there were a few more brothers who fell under the accurate fire of the Japanese infantry......

The battalion that had just begun to attack hurriedly climbed backwards, not daring to stand up at all, they were still within the range of heavy machine guns and crooked handles on the Devil's Mountain, and they were looking for death when they stood up, knowing that they had climbed out of 800 meters and entered the bush area, the brothers got up and ran to both sides, and returned to the starting position where the regiment commander stayed......

"Battalion commander, order the troops to build a defensive line on the spot, don't let the little devils rush down, we are sure to be finished!" Wang Zhaohua roared,

"Yes!" The commander of a battalion immediately ordered the troops to dig trenches and bunkers in the bushes,

The 3rd Squadron of the Devils on the mountain had killed more than 50 people in the shelling just now, and now it was unable to launch an attack, so it sent a herald to report the situation to Kimura Nakasa, and was waiting for Kimura Nakasa's order;

Twenty minutes later, the 2nd Battalion of the 13th Regiment arrived, carrying some heavy machine guns and mortars, and half an hour later, the entire 13th Regiment arrived at the temporary camp.

"I'm Wang Zhaohua, I'm looking for the teacher!" Wang Zhaohua grabbed the phone and said,

"Wang Zhaohua, has the position been captured?" Zhao Xitian asked on the phone,

"Division commander, can you let the heavy artillery of the group army give us dozens of shells! It's only been ten shots! The position of the devil was not destroyed at all, there were still a large number of fortifications and light and heavy machine guns on the position, and the first battalion had just attacked once, and it did not reach 200 meters of the defensive line, and it was hit by a large number of light and heavy machine guns and suffered heavy casualties! We only have mortars, and the devils still have mountain artillery positions on the other side of the mountain, so there is no way to attack them! Wang Zhaohua reported,

"Commander Wang, do you also know where our heavy artillery and shells came from? It is impossible for the heavy artillery group of the group army to waste so many precious shells on this mountain beam of yours, and besides, the planes and naval guns of the devils who have been fighting for a long time should launch a counterattack, and our entire artillery group will not have it! Just use mortars to coordinate with the infantry attack, no matter what! Take down the devil position on the other side for me! Zhao Xitian shouted on the phone,

"Yes, Commander!" Wang Zhaohua frowned and put down the phone,

When Wang Zhaohua contacted the Third Division, the Japanese army Kimura Nakasa also sent the second squadron to Shanliangshang to support, and carried a large number of mortars and grenadiers, waiting for the Shina Army to come and send them to death......

"Mortars, build positions in front of the line of defense, bombard the positions of the devils, and the 1st battalion continues to attack!" Wang Zhaohua was ruthless,

The 1st Battalion of the 13th Regiment slowly walked out of the bushes and began to crawl forward at a distance of 600 meters, but they were really scared by the heavy machine guns of the devils, who didn't care about bullets at all!

"Knock knock .....knock," the devil's heavy machine gun began to fire, but the frequency was not fast, it was only a probabilistic interception, trying to slow down the attack of the Chinese army, waiting for his mortars to be set up.

"Ahh The brothers who were hit by heavy machine guns rolled on the ground with a scream, and at this distance they were hit in the head by a heavy machine gun, and their heads were gone, and when they hit their waists, their entire waists were torn in half, and when they hit their limbs, their hands or feet were broken......

"Knock knock knock ......" the sound of mortar ejection sounded, and the mortars of the 13th Regiment finally began to shell the mountain beam,

The shells of the "boom, boom, boom ......" artillery exploded in the Japanese position, except for a small number of shells transferred into the trenches that could cause damage to the devils, the shells that exploded outside the trenches had no effect except for raising large areas of soil, after all, it was the devils who were defending in a situation where there were covers, and the 13th Regiment had no mountain artillery and field artillery to carry out continuous bombardment, and the attacking brothers could only force the attack with a breath in their hearts......

"Bang!" The brothers of the first battalion lay on the ground and shot like courage on the mountain, but at a distance of nearly 300 meters, with the not very good marksmanship of the brothers of Hanyangzao and the national army, except for a very few that could bring results, it had no effect at all!

The "Da ......" Czech light machine gun finally found temporary shelter and began to suppress the fire on the Japanese mountain beam nearby.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The light and heavy machine guns of the devils immediately began to counterattack, and the Czech machine gunners who had less than a magazine were killed, and the brothers next to them immediately took over the machine guns and began to continue firing, and the Chinese and Japanese sides engaged in a fierce battle in an area of 200 to 300 meters......

At half past two in the afternoon, except for the first battalion, which suffered more than half of the casualties, the 13th Regiment was still unable to penetrate the 200-meter area of the defensive line.
