readx; There are three heights in the army's position. www.biquge.info At this time, the 209th Regiment had already conquered the first one, and the troops continued to stretch forward.

The head of the Chen Muren regiment was observing the destroyed artillery fortifications of the Yue Army. I saw a mutilated soldier next to the cannon. It seems that this guy's legs were broken, and he first stuffed the grenade into the barrel of the cannon, and then he lay on the muzzle of the cannon, and blew up with the cannon.

Cai Yuanfei asked the regiment commander: "What about our company commander?" ”

"Do you mean You Qingyu? He's in front. Hurry up and tell him to hurry up, the enemy's other cannon is no longer sounding, it may be a malfunction, and he must use this opportunity to take the mountain. ”

You Qingyu is attacking the enemy's second high ground. This is a steep slope of about 60 degrees, the slope is the position of the army, and the slope is a pile of mass graves. When Cai Yuanfei and the others arrived, Company Commander You was leaning against the back of a tombstone and directing the soldiers to climb up the slope.

Cai Yuanfei shouted from afar: "Company commander, we are here." ”

You Qingyu turned his head and made a gesture, meaning to let him stay where he was and not go over. Cai Yuanfei observed and found that there were many corpses in the front and back of the company commander, but there was nothing around him, and it seemed that he was indeed much safer here than he was.

The assault team organized several charges and failed, the longest of which stayed on the top of the slope for about ten minutes, but eventually retreated. A group of officers were discussing how to proceed with the attack. Suddenly, a few devil soldiers appeared on the top of the slope, and they threw shells from 100mm howitzers with them. The cannonball bounced down the hillside, hit the stone monument and stone block in the mass grave, and exploded immediately. The officers and soldiers at the bottom of the slope hurriedly scattered and fled, and You Qingyu ran a little slower and was killed on the spot.

You Qingyu is a friend who Cai Yuanfei has known for many years before. Although he didn't look down on this little friend in the past, since he joined the army, especially in the few hours after the war, Company Commander You expressed his cherishing of his past friendship with sincere care. This also made Young Master Cai Si suddenly realize that whether it was his follower in the early years or the current company commander, You Qingyu always cared about himself and took care of himself, and he actually didn't do anything for him, but just relied on his family relationship and enjoyed the enthusiasm of others for free.

Just a few minutes ago, Cai Yuanfei had decided to say thank you to his childhood friend in person, and hoped to maintain a friendship of equality, honesty and mutual respect from now on. But at this moment, he saw You Qingyu die in the artillery fire. This saddened him because he could no longer express his feelings to his friends, and he could no longer apologize to his friends for his vanity and pride. The apology to You Qingyu became Cai Yuanfei's eternal regret, which made him start to become strong and gradually matured in his military career. He always felt that he should do something for his partners and company commanders on the battlefield.

The artillery shells of the 209th Regiment caused heavy casualties, and the assault team had to reorganize its forces and reassign commanding officers. More than an hour later, the new attack force was assembled again, this time led by Zhou Zhiding, deputy commander of the 209th Regiment.

Cai Yuanfei was fully armed and participated in a new round of assault.

The first situation was the same as the previous ones. When the Chinese [***] team climbed the slope, the army did not shoot, and when the commandos climbed to the top of the slope, the guns rang out in unison, and the soldiers were immediately shot and rolled down. Wang Zhanjiao and the head of Chen Muren stood at the bottom of the slope to supervise the battle, urging everyone to continue to climb up. After several rounds of repeating, the attacking force finally gained a foothold on the slope.

Cai Yuanfei climbed up with the help of Luo Yanji. Sixty meters away he found the enemy's position, with trenches and two bunkers, one large and one small. The devils in the trenches have been suppressed by our machine-gun fire, but everyone has nothing to do with the pillboxes of the army.

The bunker was more than a man high above the ground, the large pillbox had three shooting holes, the small pillbox had one, and the tongues of fire from the four heavy machine guns covered the entire front of the position, so that no one could stand upright. More than a dozen shooters from the squadron attacked with grenades, but the grenades either fell next to the firing holes or smashed on the roof of the bunker and exploded, which did not work at all against the fortifications of the army.

The demolition team used the dead body as cover to move forward, and after climbing less than ten meters, the corpse was smashed and the demolition team was killed. The flamethrowers of the 209th Regiment tried to get the flames through the enemy's shooting holes, and they rolled and crawled under the cover of fire, and finally adjusted their position to the front of the bunker, but before they could raise their weapons, they were hit by the Japanese army. The heavy machine gun pierced the compressed air cylinders on the soldiers' backs, and the blast sent a wave of air that lifted their bodies high and high.

The harsh situation caught Cai Yuanfei, who had no combat experience, off guard, "Oh my God, what should I do?" He scratched his head in frustration. The flamethrower was a novelty for the squadron, not only had it only begun to equip troops in Matsuyama, but it had only been used to clear the battlefield and destroy the remnants of the enemy in the previous month, and no one had ever used it in a storming battle. Therefore, the veterans around Cai Yuanfei couldn't provide him with any suitable tactical advice, so everyone had to lie on the ground and do it in a hurry.

"Xiao Cai, come here!"

I don't know when, the head of the Chen Muren also came to the position, and he was waving to Cai Yuanfei on the slope. "Maybe the regimental commander can do something good", the flamethrower hurriedly crawled towards the commander

Cai Yuanfei knows how to indulge in "new weapons", but his weapon knowledge is self-taught according to the manual, and he knows nothing about actual combat skills. Therefore, when the flamethrowers of the 209th Regiment rushed forward, Cai Xinbing wanted to see how the veterans acted first, hoping to learn some experience from them. Unfortunately, before he could see the doorway, the veterans died, which made the recruits feel very frustrated.

The assault team was pinned down at the front of the position. In the crowd, Cai Yuanfei was carrying two large iron cans on his back and a deputy, and his appearance was very exaggerated. The soldiers around him all looked at him, meaning to say, "You have such a majestic weapon, why don't you hurry up and think of a way" Cai Yuanfei was anxious, gritted his teeth, and was ready to roll towards the front of the bunker according to the appearance of his predecessors. Luo Yandao hurriedly grabbed him: "No! Without fire cover, if you go up, you will die. ”

That makes sense. Cai Yuanfei hurriedly asked the chief: "Cover me!" I rushed up and breathed fire. ”

"Xiao Cai, come here!" I don't know when, the head of the Chen Muren group has already arrived at the position, and he squatted next to the deputy head of Zhou Zhiding and beckoned to Cai Yuanfei.

"Do you see, there's a crater there." Chen Muren pointed to the side of the bunker, "We organize fire cover, give you ten seconds, can you rush over?" ”

"I can pass!" Cai Yuanfei saw a crater fifty meters away, which was only about thirty meters away from the pillbox -- however, the flamethrower could not aim at the enemy's shooting hole at that position, and there were no doors, windows, or holes on the side of the bunker, so what was the use of running there?

"You don't have to put the flames into the bunker, you just need to make a wall of fire in front of the bunker to block the enemy's view. I took the demolition team up and blew it up! ”

Commander Chen said that he led the demolition team, which was really not a big deal. The nine daredevils were divided into three groups, and Chen Muren also took blasters and prepared to go together. Deputy Head Zhou immediately became anxious, shouting "You don't want to go up, replace me", and reached out to grab the blasting cylinder.

Chen Muren said: "What is there to fight for? If I can't take the position today, I will die if I return to the bottom of the mountain, so it is better to let me die on the mountain and be happy. Cai Yuanfei and the demolition soldiers were immediately very excited: "Regiment leader, if you want to die, everyone will die together." Let's go up first, and then you go up when we're dead. ”

Luo Yanzhu quietly asked beside him: "Brother Cai, can't I get on?" ”

"Whatever you want", you don't need a backup gas tank to fight only one pillbox, and it's useless for the Pyro's deputy to go up. "Then I'll go with you," Luo said.

Zhou Zhiding gave the order, and the fire of machine guns, rifles and grenades fired in a volley towards the large bunker. The Demoman immediately jumped off the slope, tumbling and crawling, rushing to their pre-selected cover.

Cai Yuanfei also ran towards "his" crater. He didn't make any complicated tactical moves, because he had never practiced those techniques, but he just ran with his waist hooked, thinking "don't trip, don't fall" - with a heavy cylinder on his shoulder, a spray gun in his hand, and a long oil pipe, if he fell carelessly, he really couldn't get up for a while.

Ten seconds, only ten seconds. In those ten seconds, the heavily armed flamethrower had to run through fifty meters of mud that had been riddled with artillery fire. The perseverance and physical strength of this 50-meter sprint exceeded the limit of all Cai Yuanfei's previous sports on the school field. When he finally threw himself into the crater, he felt like he was about to collapse. But he couldn't stop to rest, and after a short period of firepower, the Demomen had been stopped in their positions by the rain of bullets, and they were waiting for the Pyros to cover.

It was a very small and shallow crater, barely able to lay down two people. The army had already spotted two commandos coming up from the side of the pillbox, and the riflemen in the trenches immediately fired at it, and the bullets flew overhead with a "whoosh".

Cai Yuanfei moved his body, quietly observed the position of the bunker, and mentally calculated how much spray gun pressure should be used.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of metal crashing behind me. He turned his head and asked his deputy, "Your steel helmet was hit?" ”

"No," Luo Cigarette Pole checked suspiciously: "Mom, your oil can has been shot." ”

Cai Yuanfei was taken aback, if this thing was blown up, the two of them would not look very good. He hurriedly unloaded the steel canister and placed it beside him.

Everything was ready, a gap was cut in the edge of the crater, the muzzle of the gun was extended, the trigger was pulled, and the scorching dragon flew out of cover. After the three-second standard shooting, Cai Yuanfei took a look at the probe and secretly praised his mathematical level was really good.

The angles of the gun and the air pressure were calculated quite correctly. Napalm erupted from the diagonal side, creating a perfect parabola, which was poured right on the façade of the bunker, and the flames immediately covered the firing port. The machine guns of the army stopped. Cai Yuanfei proudly said to his deputy: "Okay, our mission is complete, just wait for them to blow up the bunker." Be careful not to let the crumbling rocks hit your head. ”

The two men lay in the crater with their heads covered for a long time, but they did not feel the slightest vibration of the explosion. In the end, I couldn't help but poke my head out and look - huh? It's weird

The firing port was still covered by the flames, and the devil's machine gun fired blindly through the flames, still blocking the daredevils who tried to assault at the front of the position. However, at this time, the bunker of the army was not the same as before—the thick roof was steaming and smoking, and it looked like a big steamer in a bun shop.

It turned out that the material of the military bunker was not reinforced concrete, but was built with several layers of wood and earth. After a long period of shelling, the earth was shaken apart, the wood was loosened, and napalm sprayed could seep into the cracks of the wooden frame. The local wood in Matsuyama is either pine or walnut, which contains a lot of oil, and when it encounters a scorching flame, the grease and moisture in the wood are quickly evaporated, making the top of the bunker become smoky, and the clouds are steaming, presenting a rather wonderful scene.

Can the devil's bunker burn? That's easy to do. Cai Pyo didn't say a word, raised the muzzle of the gun and fired two "three seconds" in succession. This time, you don't have to think about the landing point, just add enough pressure and spray the napalm directly onto the wall. Soon, with the crackling sound of "bang, bang", there were bursts of fire from the smoke - not bad, not bad! The large steamer became a beacon tower.

At this time, the wind was blowing on the top of the mountain, and the wind poured into it through the firing hole of the bunker, like a stove, and the "beacon tower" crackled. At this point, no matter how stubborn the little devil was, he could not fight back, and the officers and men at the front of the position cheered with joy.

It would be much easier to take out the big bunker and leave a small bunker, four or five machine guns firing at the same time, blocking its only firing port so tightly that not a single bullet could be fired. The head of the Chen Muren was so excited that his voice changed: "Spitfire, light it and light it for me!" "Well said! Two more standard shots, and the small pillbox turned into a large torch.

Cai Yuanfei is proud. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a soldier swooped up viciously, and reached out to grab the flamethrower.

The muzzle of the gun that had just been shot was so hot that it was smoking, but the devil soldier ignored it, although the hand holding the head of the gun was so hot that it "sizzled", but the other hand grabbed the spray gun and pulled the trigger -- fortunately, this guy did not understand science -- the trigger of the flamethrower was just an ignition device, and the air pressure knob and the oil supply valve had to be activated before shooting, and the trigger could not be fired by simply pulling the trigger

After being stunned for a moment, Cai Yuanfei woke up from the initial fright, and then tore up with this soldier. The poor Pyro was burdened with heavy equipment, crushed by the enemy and couldn't turn over, looking face to face at the little devil's fierce appearance. Cai Yuanfei was in a hurry, opened his mouth and shouted: "Old Brother Luo! Come and help me."

This shouting really worked, and with a "bang", the little devil fell on his back. The cigarette pole behind him was majestic, and he carried a compressed air cylinder in his hand - who said that you don't need a backup gas tank to fight a bunker? At this point, it is used as a mace.

Luo Yanzhu helped Cai Yuanfei up, and explained with a sneer: "I'm afraid that I accidentally hit you, I heard that you have martial arts" It means that he didn't help in time, which is quite reasonable. said that Cai Yuanfei had martial arts, that is, Company Commander You Qingyu was bragging nonsense, and it was actually Cai Siwa's eldest brother and second brother who had practiced kung fu. When he was a child, his brothers lifted stone locks, squatted horses, and played with flower guns, and they were very happy to toss all day long, but Cai Laosi always hid in the house and read, and stayed away from noisy fights. At home, in addition to being able to bully his sister, even his sister can't beat who knows, just went to the battlefield today, and the first little devil he met was going to find him for hand-to-hand combat. Cai Yuanfei felt very depressed

The officers and men of the 209th Regiment rushed into the enemy's trenches with shouts, and Hill No. 2 was taken.

Cai Yuanfei ran around with everyone and found that this was actually an artillery position of the army.

There were several 100-mm howitzers on the position, which could logically be used to block the bridge in the distance, but these cannons had long been destroyed by the artillery fire of the squadron [***], and they turned into a pile of scrap metal. Surprisingly, one of the infantry guns was intact -- the military made of wood as a track, the front end of the track was a firing bunker, and the rear end was a deep bomb shelter. When you are fighting, push out the cannon and fire two shots, and then drag it back to the hole and hide it, no wonder [***] can't do anything with it. Looking around, it seems that there are only a dozen soldiers on the top of No. 2 Mountain, and there are no more than twenty people at most. But with such a small number of troops, the attacking force of more than 500 people was held back for six or seven hours. The reason for this is that the "jade shattering" spirit and fortifications of the Yue army certainly played a major role, but the battlefield analysis work in the [***] aspect was too meticulous -- if we had known that the Yue army's fortress was made of wood, there would have been no need to shoot so many high-explosive bombs, and it would have saved much trouble by throwing a few incendiary bombs.

After conquering the position, Colonel Wang Zhanjiao excitedly raised his flare gun and fired three red flares into the sky, informing the other troops to converge on the high ground. Subsequently, he ordered the 209th Regiment to leave some personnel to build fortifications, and he led a large group of men and horses to continue to fight on the No. 3 Heights. Colonel Wang's decision to "fortify the fortifications of Heights No. 2" was a very wise move. A few days ago, after the 209th Regiment conquered the position, because it was not prepared for defense, it was defeated by a counterattack by the Yue Army, not to mention the heavy casualties, and Regiment Commander Chen was almost shot, which was a bloody lesson.

Heights 3 are not far from Heights 2, there are no major points of fire, only an artillery observation post is still a fortress, but it has been almost destroyed by [***] artillery fire, and it looks like it should not be difficult to overcome. This was also the case, and the attacking troops easily stepped onto the heights without much resistance. Cai Yuanfei stood on the top of the hill and looked around, thinking, "Could it be that all the devils have run out?" That's how the battle ended? ”

At this time, someone shouted: "Pyro, come here!" ”
