Chapter 175: Attack
Huang Wenlie is the one who is most looking forward to this big battle among all of us, and I guess this must be the biggest battle in his life, and it is also the battle he values the most.
I don't doubt Huang Wenlie's bravery, if it weren't for his identity as the regiment commander, I believe he would have been the first to rush to the front with a submachine gun. He can only apply his bravery to his subordinates now, to his offensive tactics.
The Japanese troops on Moyunling were not in a hurry, our attack was suspended, and they began to bury pots and cook, and I could even see the smoke rising from the position of Moyunling in the telescope, which was different from the smoke of gunfire, and the Japanese army was also eating.
In the temporary headquarters, Huang Wenlie deployed this round of attack plan and said: "In this round of attack, the third battalion served as the main attack, launched an offensive from the front, and went all out to attack the Japanese army's first defensive position. The second battalion is on the flank, attacking the enemy's ribs, Zhang Da, you arrange more snipers, look for the commanding heights, and shoot non-stop at the Japanese individual machine gunners who are ambushed in the cliffs and caves on both sides to reduce their intrusion on us. ”
Zhang Da looked at the map and said: "Tuanzuo, although this method is very good, but the Moyunling Mountain is bare, there is no concealment, no concealment is a big taboo for snipers, even if there is a commanding height, snipers will become the target of the devil's attention." ”
Snipers have always been hidden in the shadows to shoot targets, like Huang Wenlie's arrangement, it is tantamount to disregarding the safety of snipers, and there is no sniper in the world who does not need to hide.
Huang Wenlie frowned and said, "Won't I think about this problem!" There's no way around it! Arrange more fire cover for the snipers, be sure to deal with the machine gun nest on the cliff, if you don't solve them, our attacking troops will all be exposed to their fire! ”
Zhang Da didn't dare to argue anymore and said, "Yes." I'll arrange it! ”
Huang Wenlie looked at me and said, "Battalion Commander An, your first battalion is a backup force, ready to replenish at any time!" ”
Huang Wenlie's distribution and deployment is very reasonable, among the three battalions of the new 200 regiment, the strongest firepower is the third battalion, and the weakest is my first battalion, so the three battalions are the main attack, and the first battalion can only serve as a reinforcement to fill the gaps.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The base camp of our army on the east coast is continuously firing signal flares into the sky!
This was a signal that a new round of artillery bombardment of Japanese positions on the west bank would be launched before our attack.
Now don't say it's the Japanese army, even in this Moyunling Mountain, the animals that have lived for a few more years can probably understand that as soon as the signal flare is lifted into the air, the shells on the east bank will explode.
Now these signal flares are not only a signal for our attack, but also a signal to tell the Japanese army to take precautions against shelling!
So many times, I really wanted to find the guy who put the flares indiscriminately, and punish him on the spot on the charge of reporting the enemy's collaboration, although I knew that he was only acting on orders.
Huang Wenlie must have the same idea as me, he looked at the rising signal flare in the sky with a straight face, and said hatefully: "There has never been a shortage of fools who have heels instead of brains!" ”
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
After the signal flare was fired, our army's long-range artillery fire began to bombard the Japanese defense line on the west bank. Because of the accuracy of the coordinates, although the Japanese knew that there would be an artillery bombardment, their losses would not be too small.
All the anti-artillery holes are not much bigger than the dog holes, and even if they can prevent the shells from exploding in the trenches, the fragments produced by the explosion will kill and injure the enemy troops in the effective range in a large area.
Taking advantage of this round of suppressed artillery fire, the third battalion began to attack Moyunling in the rumbling cannon sound and the drizzle.
The second battalion was responsible for the flank offensive of the Japanese army, and their snipers, from a commanding height like a stage, fired at the machine gun nests in the cliffs on both sides.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bump Bump!
Dada!
Rifles, crooked machine guns, Thompson submachine guns, all kinds of gunfire are intertwined, bullets crash into people's bodies, explode in flesh and blood, and in internal organs.
In such an attack, it is always the side that hides behind the cover, although the Japanese army is inferior to us in terms of firepower, but the advantage of terrain largely makes up for this shortcoming.
The long-range artillery bombardment was suspended, and the frontal attack of the three battalions of infantry began to charge, they advanced up the slippery mountain road with difficulty, fell and got up again, and the guns in their hands were constantly firing at the Japanese troops.
After a round of artillery bombardment, the Japanese began to rearrange their defensive positions, and their defenses had just disappeared, and suddenly they appeared in a uniform position.
When I was crossing the river to reconnoitre, almost all of the heavy machine gun nests I saw stuck out of the barrels, and the bullets of the 92 heavy machine guns rained down the mountain and fired intensively at our troops attacking down the mountain.
Bump Bump Tu Bu Tu Bu
There were constantly charging soldiers being shot down, and soldiers constantly rushing past the downed soldiers, and we followed one after another, just to occupy a defensive position halfway up the mountain.
All around was the sound of shouting for ambulances.
"Ambulance! Someone was hurt! ”
"Ambulance! Ambulance! Hurry the fuck! ”
"Ambulance! …… No need to come over, it's dead! ”
Ambulances have become the busiest people on the battlefield, and they must be the most troops in terms of running distance. The wounded and the rescuers fell into numbness, and the brothers around them were shot and fell to the ground, so they could only look at them and say, "Hold back! Cover your wounds yourself! Wait for the ambulances to come! ”
The 92 heavy machine guns in the first defense position of the Japanese army sprayed bloodthirsty tongues of fire, and their bullets were endless, killing the same kind of people who crawled down the mountain in the chamber of the gun.
I watched all this through a telescope, helpless and heartbroken, what we could do, nothing could be done. It won't be long before we share their fate.
The cruelty of war lies in this, you know that rushing forward is certain death, but you still have to rush forward with a gun, at this time in addition to boiling blood in your mind, only the idea of rushing forward without hesitation is left!
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the commander of the third battalion, under the protection of the guard platoon, personally went into battle to supervise the battle and went deep into the forefront of the attack.
The commander of the third battalion roared and said, "Brothers, the devil can't hold on anymore, let's rush again!" can crush them! Second company commander, take your people, give it to me! ”
The commander of the second company hoarsely said loudly: "Battalion commander, there is only one and a half platoons left in my company!" It's going to run out! ”
The commander of the third battalion scolded sharply and said, "I'll make it up for you when it's gone!" The guard platoon, follow the commander of the second company and rush up! ”
Rumble! A mortar shell exploded around them, and smoke billowed to fill the air.
The commander of the second company raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, rush with me!" the little devils! ”
He was the first to rush forward with a gun, shooting as he went, followed by the remnants of the second company and the newly replenished platoon of guards.
