Chapter 426: Attacking back and forth
This night was a sleepless night for both the enemy and the enemy in the Zhanggushan area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Japanese troops on Zhanggu Mountain heard the gunfire on the high ground in the north, and the bullets were flying in red light, but because it was dark night, they would never dare to rush to the rescue, and they could only strengthen their positions and wait for the battle.
Because they naturally understood that Zhang Gushan was the ultimate target of the Chinese army's attack, and this was the last retreat of the 106th Division.
There was less than an hour before dawn, and on the high ground on the north side of Zhanggu Mountain, the soldiers of the 153rd Regiment, who were the main force of the 305th Brigade, did not show the slightest slackness.
Because their brigade commander was already here by this time, he looked at his watch from time to time, and he did not want to launch the attack too soon, because he was not sure whether the assault detachment he had sent had reached the top.
At this time, the people of the Tunan detachment on the top of Zhanggu Mountain were naturally not slack, and everyone was hidden in the darkness before dawn.
More than 100 meters below is the position of the Japanese army, and the sound of the Japanese army can be faintly heard, and the red light of cigarette butts shines in the dark night.
Fang Ai was already lying with Huo Xiaoshan at this time, and they were also waiting for the opportunity.
Only when the front is fought, can their assault detachment of 60 men take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to play the role of a surprise soldier, because according to reconnaissance, there are more than 800 Japanese troops on Zhanggu Mountain.
Although Fang Ai couldn't see Huo Xiaoshan's appearance clearly in the dark night, it didn't prevent him from admiring Huo Xiaoshan.
He was amazed that this officer, who looked so ordinary during the day and was younger than his own age, had such combat power.
So when he touched Huo Xiaoshan in the dark night, it was naturally a sign of closeness, and he wanted to know more about Huo Xiaoshan.
After waiting for a while, he saw that Huo Xiaoshan was completely silent, so he seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was asking Huo Xiaoshan, he quietly said, "I don't know when the other side will start attacking?" ā
"When it's about to dawn, dawn." Huo Xiaoshan replied casually.
"At that time, the devil was the most slack." Fang Ai's tone sounded extremely calm and gave a plausible explanation, but his heart had already glanced at Huo Xiaoshan again.
Because he was the captain of this assault detachment, he and the brigade commander agreed that the time for the attack was at dawn.
In the darkness, Fang Ai naturally couldn't see that Huo Xiaoshan actually glanced at him with strange eyes, and then Huo Xiaoshan said again: "Well, it makes sense, the devils were asleep at that time, let's use a big knife to directly cut off their heads and melon seeds to end the battle." ā
The result of Huo Xiaoshan's words was that both of them had smiles on their faces.
It's just because both of them are talking nonsense with their eyes open.
If it hadn't been for the previous battle on the North Highlands of Changling, the Japanese might have been slack and sleepy at dawn, but now they would never have been, and they must have concentrated all their energy on preparing for a bloody battle with the attacking Nationalist army!
As for why the battle started at dawn, in fact, both of them understood.
Fight now, the main forces on the opposite side do not yet know whether the assault detachment will succeed in reaching the top.
If you fight again at dawn, I am afraid that when the devil turns around, he will find that someone has come up behind him, and then he will lose the effect of the surprise attack.
Dawn, this is destined to be a time for the Chinese side to attack without any suspense, and when the sky is about to dawn, the sound of bursting beans will come as scheduled.
The bullets fired from the heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the high ground north of Changling poured like water on the Japanese positions in Zhanggushan, and then the counterattack on the Japanese positions began.
The fire of the shooting was so obvious that Huo Xiaoshan understood the layout of the Japanese army's position when he swept his eyes, and the positions used by the Japanese army were not trenches but foxholes and machine gun pits, there were more than 50 places.
There is less grenadier belt, although the gunfire is deafening, Huo Xiaoshan feels that he still hears the sigh of Zheng Youjian beside him.
Because even if he counts, there are only four grenadiers, and he only carries two grenadiers.
At the moment when the gunfire exploded just now, the assault detachment was already loaded with bullets ready to shoot.
"Fatty, seeing that there are no five heavy machine gun positions, you can kill the two counted from this side for me! The light machine gun is responsible for knocking out the two in the middle! Hanzi use your Makqin to kill the fifth! Huo Xiaoshan said loudly, the gunshots were like notes, and there was no need to hide the sound at this time.
At this time, Fang Ai also distributed the firepower of the four light machine guns brought by his own personnel, and the biggest advantage of them was that they could knock out most of the Japanese machine-gun fire at the moment of shooting, so as to avoid their two machine guns from hitting one and wasting this precious opportunity.
Fang Ai ran back to Huo Xiaoshan's side and shouted loudly as soon as he lay down: "Ready!" Beat! ā
So, their condescending shooting began, and the sound of the penetrating "hole" of the Hanzi heavy machine gun was the first to sound, and then the gunfire could not be counted.
The situation is like the first rooster crow in the morning and then the people gather.
Just as they poured a rain of bullets into the Japanese troops below, what was visible to the naked eye was that the red light that was originally shooting downward in the Japanese machine gun pit was instantly reduced by more than half.
Then there was the firing of two grenades, "tom", and almost at the same time, the two heavy machine-gun positions of the Japanese army fell silent.
Facts have proved that the truth of being afraid of stabbing in the back is true for any nation in this world, and the Japanese army was blinded at this moment.
The blow from their back made them feel breathless, because it made their defensive firepower thin.
Just when they found out that the Chinese army was preparing to organize a counterattack behind them, Zheng Youjian's grenadiers had two more guns, and the two heavy machine guns that had just been replaced by the secondary shooter were muted again, and they did not sound again in the subsequent battles.
Because Zheng Youjian fired a grenade, the explosion radius of a grenade is equivalent to the appearance of two grenades, and when it hits the Japanese machine gun pit, the Japanese army has nowhere to hide, and the main and secondary shooters are all killed, where are the machine gunners?
The Japanese army was weak in the face of the firepower of the North Heights of Changling, and how could the 305th Regiment attacking head-on not seize the opportunity, and the brigade commander who came to command in person roared, "Rush forward!" And so the bottom-up attack began.
And almost at the same time, Fang Ai shouted, "Rush down!" So all the people in the assault detachment were already rifles and broadswords in their hands, and they took advantage of the faint light of the sky to kill down.
The shouts and killing of the Chinese troops in front and behind were deafening, and the heavy firepower on the defensive positions had all been muted, and the Japanese army's will to resist collapsed at this moment.
The remaining soldiers began to climb up from the foxhole and machine gun pit, but for the sake of their own lives, the pit was really deep enough, and it always took some effort to climb up.
How far can a hundred meters be from the top down, not to mention the impact from the top down, a Japanese soldier just climbed out of the pit and had an unstable foothold, he was kicked back by Huo Xiaoshan, who was rushing to the front, and the box cannon in his hand was fired one after another, and the four Japanese soldiers in this foxhole were already the souls of the guns.
The rest of the soldiers had also descended the mountain like tigers, and many Japanese soldiers who had not yet gained a firm foothold were picked down by bayonets.
As the sky got brighter, the 305th Regiment under the mountain had already rushed up, and the two cooperated with the Japanese army to flee to death, and the Japanese soldiers on the mountain were sleeping, but the Chinese army did not have time to count the results.
Without waiting for the brigade commander to give the order, Huo Xiaoshan had already gathered his soldiers and started digging the pit.
