Between the first defense and the main peak position, there is a mountain with a greater slope, and if we want to take Moyunling, it is the process of climbing the mountain with bullets all the way.

The Japanese shells tore through the air with a whistling sound, and exploded in the middle of the hicculins, and the bomb fragments were shot in all directions, looking for flesh and blood to kill. The Japanese troops poked out heavy machine guns, grenades, and 60 mortars from the shooting holes of the pillboxes, and constantly strafed and bombed our troops climbing the mountain in the mud.

Rumble! From the annular fortifications, a 92nd infantry shell was fired, which landed not far from me, and Adjutant Liu pushed me down, and I fell to the ground.

When the explosion stopped, I turned my head again and saw Adjutant Liu lying in a pool of blood, and he had been hit in the head by a piece of artillery shell fragment.

The guard platoon commander got up from the ground and shouted: "Battalion commander, you better retreat, it's too close to the devil's position, it's too dangerous!" ”

I ignored his words, and now I was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so I shouted to the heralds, saying, "Inform all the divisions, concentrate heavy fire and clear the Japanese troops in the fortifications!" Since bunkers don't work at all, just let the rifles take care of them! ”

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Bump Bump!

I held a submachine gun, "Da Da!" "I frantically strafed the Japanese troops in the fortifications, and I didn't stop until the guard platoon commander sent someone to drag me down.

I sat on the floor, calming my mind, knowing that it wasn't a good thing for a commander to lose control of my emotions like this. But as I watched my comrades, one by one, fall beside me, I could not remain indifferent.

I used infantry fire to deal with the Japanese fire in the pillbox, and turned all the heavy fire to the Japanese in the fortifications. Because I know that even if I want to open the bunkers, I have to clear their perimeter first.

A Qiu Ba stumbled over with a body of gunpowder smoke and dust, and said, "Battalion commander, the commander of the first company has died!" ”

I closed my eyes and felt like my brain was about to explode, and after a while, I slowly opened my eyes and said, "The company commander sacrificed, let the company deputy be on top!" ”

This Qiu Ba should be a member of the first company, and he said with a cry in his voice: "Battalion commander, the company deputy has already fought and died when he fought a defense......

I endured my grief and scolded angrily: "What are you crying for, if you want to cry, roll down Moyunling and cry!" The company commander is dead, then let the platoon commander go to the top, the platoon commander is gone, and the squad leader is on top! And so on! ”

In less than a day, more than half of my battalion had already suffered casualties, and such a large number of casualties were only exchanged for the annihilation of about 150 enemy troops on the periphery.

In the next assault on the bunker, an even more tragic thing happened. I ordered the flamethrowers to repeat their old tricks, trying to get close to the bunker and burn it through the firing hole.

However, the Japanese commanders already knew the reason for the loss of the first defensive position, and the biggest reason was the lack of preparation for the attack of the flamethrower, so they specially arranged snipers to deal with our flamethrowers.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The Japanese sniper's marksmanship was no worse than Ani's, and he fired three shots at the Pyro, one of which still hit the Pyro in the shoulder as the Pyro ran.

People are animals with subconscious behavior, and the Pyro knows that he can run back with his back to the enemy, but after being shot, he instinctively turns sideways and wants to retreat, and when he thinks that he has made a huge mistake, it is too late.

Bang! Rumble! The Japanese sniper fired another shot, hitting the nitrogen cylinder he was carrying, and the bullet penetrated the cylinder, causing an instant explosion, and a huge fireball affected himself and his comrades who were responsible for protecting him.

In the midst of the miserable screams, the Pyro resembled a huge torch that could walk, and in the flames, it turned into char in a matter of minutes. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, such a corpse would not have been identified when it was registered on the list of the dead after the war.

Several other soldiers who were burned by the fire were even more miserable, and the flamethrower was already dead when the nitrogen cylinder exploded, and he did not suffer for long. But these soldiers, who were surrounded by the fire, did not die immediately, they howled miserably in the fire.

I couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene, and shouted, "Shoot, help them!" ”

The hiccups beside me raised their guns and aimed and aim, but they couldn't bear to pull the trigger.

"Shoot!" I yelled at the hiccules, and at the same time at myself.

I poked out the barrel of my submachine gun and pulled the trigger, "Dada-da!" The bullet passed through the flames, the flames stopped screaming, and the pile continued to burn on the ground.

Ani followed the sound to find the Japanese sniper, and when he shot the flamethrower, Ani pulled the trigger at the same time, killing the Japanese sniper.

I don't dare to let the flamethrowers go up again, since the Japanese army has taken precautions, the target is too obvious to go up like this, which is equivalent to being a target for the Japanese army. I'm also counting on being more useful to the Pyro in close combat.

"Herald, order all units to suspend the attack! Waiting for my orders! "I finished the order and turned around and returned to Huang Wenlie's headquarters.

"Why stop the offensive? Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe! Commander An, do you know that you are delaying the fighter! "Huang Wenlie has been reported that the first battalion of the main attack has stopped the attack.

I said, "Tuanza, my battalion has been lost in half, and if I continue to fight, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated!" ”

Huang Wenlie said: "This kind of difficulty has been thought of in advance, our army's casualties are huge, and the casualties of the Japanese army will not be small. And they have no reinforcements, and their troops will only fight less and less! Your battalion is gone, I will send the second battalion to the top, you are all gone, I will personally lead people to the top! ”

I said: "Tuanza, the Japanese pillboxes are extremely strong, and the shells blow up, just gnawing off a piece of skin. I suggest that you immediately dispatch the bombers of the American allies and carry out targeted bombing to blow up these turtle shells! ”

Huang Wenlie pondered and said, "I thought this was our last killer weapon, and we didn't use ...... until the last moment."

I said, "Tuanza, now is the last minute, don't wait any longer. I have cleared the Japanese troops in the outer fortifications, and there is no last! ”

Huang Wenlie hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind, turned to the signal soldier and said, "Immediately send a report to the US liaison officer, asking them to bomb the pillbox on Moyun Ridge!" ”

After the order, Huang Wenlie said to Zhou Dalei: "Battalion Commander Zhou, the casualties of the first battalion are too great, and you need to replenish the troops. ”

"Yes, Tuanza!" Zhou Dalei hurriedly pulled me away.

Walking out of the command headquarters, Zhou Dalei said: "Anzi, I'm so impatient, I was still asking the regiment commander for orders just now, and I want to bring someone to replace you, just in time for you to come over." ”

I am also very happy that now Zhou Dalei's independent battalion is basically at full strength, and with my remaining half of the battalion, our offensive strength has more than doubled.

An hour later, two B-24 U.S. bombers roared over our heads, and after circling twice over Moyunling, the bomb bay door opened and huge aerial bombs were dropped.

Rumble! There was a loud bang like the sky cracking down, and aerial bombs exploded on the Moyunling position. The coordinates we provided, together with the corrected targets of the American pilots, made the bombing extremely accurate.

Even so, because of the conical roof above the pillbox, when the aerial bomb was dropped, although it landed accurately on the pillbox, the impact point of the bomb slipped, and the bomb fell to the ground and exploded.

This effect is far inferior to exploding directly on the bunker, although it also caused damage to the Japanese army, but it did not completely blow up the bunker.

I saw all of this through my binoculars and thought about what to do.
