Chapter 915: The First Confrontation on the Mountain
The main force of the Japanese army began to attack Wutai Mountain, Sun Weiguo did not transfer the troops of the first assault group and the second assault group formed by the mobile unit of the second division of honor back to fight, but instead gathered all the two assault groups in Fuping County, Sun Weiguo's idea was very simple, using the two assault groups to eat the two independent mixed brigades of the Japanese army in Fuping County.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon of 25 September, after the bombing of the Japanese air force, the 62nd and 82nd Wings of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, and the 139th and 140th Wings of the 108th Brigade of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army began to attack Wutai Mountain.
More than 13,000 troops of the four infantry wings attacked together, and the main attack location of the Japanese 21st Division was the garrison position of the Honorary First Regiment and the Unknown Regiment of the Honorary Second Division, and the combat strength of these two regiments was only more than 3,000 people, including non-combatants, while the main attack location of the 108th Division of the Japanese 110th Division was the Honorary Second Regiment, and the first independent infantry regiment of the Jinsui Army was stationed at the garrison position, and the total strength of these two regiments was only more than 3,000 people.
The Japanese army was twice as strong as the defenders, and in terms of weapons and ammunition, the Japanese still had the upper hand.
This time, the devil soldiers were ordered to attack, and after the troops attacked, a large number of devil soldiers began to rush towards the position.
All the artillery units directly under the wing headquarters were transferred to the front line to fight, and the little devils put bayonets on the artillery.
Kosuke Mori was the captain of the 4th Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the 62nd Wing of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, and the 62nd Wing of the Japanese Army was the main attacker in this operation.
The First Brigade, as the vanguard of the 62nd Wing of the Japanese Army, had already begun to attack the position of the Eighth Route Army in Wutai Mountain, and the devil soldiers quickly advanced towards the mountain with artillery support.
"Despicable Shina, look for a ladder at once." When he came to the foot of Mount Wutai, Kosuke Mori couldn't help but be stunned, and he cursed viciously.
The original slope leading to the mountain has been completely cut into a wall more than two meters high, which is insurmountable for a ghost soldier who is more than one meter and a half tall and is even a giant.
They want to get through here, but they can only look for a ladder.
However, the little devils were prepared, and immediately a ladder was sent by an engineer unit, and at the same time, many devil soldiers set up a human ladder.
The little devils began to figure out how to get through this artificial barrier, and at the same time as they passed, the grenadiers of the 1st Regiment of Honor began to act.
Miniature grenades were fired, and these miniature grenades landed accurately among the devil soldiers.
As the explosion of miniature grenades sounded, shrunnel flew everywhere, and a little devil began to fall to the ground, and the wounded devil soldier wailed in pain.
The devil health officer hurriedly took out the first aid kit to rescue the wounded, and Mori Kosuke's face became extremely gloomy, and he immediately organized his squadron grenadier to counterattack.
At the same time, the 36 75mm mountain guns of the Mountain Artillery Wing of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, which were deployed in the rear, immediately fired suppressively, and one shell after another began to hit the position of the Honorable First Regiment.
The grenadiers on the Wutai Mountain position began to stop firing, and the devil soldiers took the opportunity to quickly climb over the barrier more than two meters high, and they hurriedly looked for a hiding point, and after the light machine gun shooters found cover, they immediately set up the light machine guns and aimed them at the position of the first regiment of honor.
Luo Dazhuang is the acting company commander of the first company of the first battalion of the first regiment of honor, and at present there are only more than 50 combatants in the first company, which is equivalent to a reinforced platoon.
The troops of the First Regiment of Honor suffered a lot of casualties in the battle on the Weiyanjian Heights, with more than 400 wounded in the whole regiment, and officers at all levels suffered even greater casualties, Wen Zihan, who served as the deputy commander of the first battalion, has now begun to act as the battalion commander, and Luo Dazhuang, the platoon commander of a company and a platoon, has also become the acting company commander, in fact, the number of troops he manages is not much more than before.
"The little devils are here, they all cheer me up and fight at my orders." Seeing the little devils appear in sight one after another, Luo Dazhuang immediately shouted.
The soldiers agreed one after another, the first company is the company awarded the title of Weiguo Company by Sun Weiguo, don't look at the current company There are only more than 50 people in the company, but these more than 50 people are elite veterans.
In fact, without Luo Dazhuang giving an order, these veterans know how to fight.
The Chinese troops stationed in Wutai Mountain have the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army, among which there are the Eighth Route Army Honorary First Regiment, the Honorary Second Regiment, the Unknown Regiment, and the Honorary Sixth Regiment, while the Jin Sui Army has the First Independent Infantry Regiment and the Third Cavalry Regiment.
These troops were stationed in the huge Wutai Mountain, and their defense area was very large, and in order to strengthen the ties between the various departments, some troops had to accept a huge defense area.
The first company was responsible for defending a range of more than 1,000 meters, which required at least one reinforced company to defend, but now they only had more than 50 people to defend, which is equivalent to each person defending a range of 20 meters.
"Tsk, the little devil really looks up to us, and dispatched two infantry squadrons." Luo Dazhuang observed the movements of the Japanese army through a telescope.
At this time, there were already two infantry squadrons of nearly 400 people advancing towards Luo Dazhuang, and these nearly 400 devil soldiers pulled out a long line of skirmishers, and they kept looking for cover and alternately covering the advance.
There was no shooting on the position of the company, and the devil soldiers also noticed this, and they began to accelerate unconsciously.
The first to rush towards the position of the first company was the 4th Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the 62nd Wing of the Japanese Army, and more than 100 devil soldiers of the 4th Squadron accelerated under the command of Captain Squadron Leader Kosuke Mori.
Just at the barrier, the 4th Squadron lost more than a dozen people, which annoyed Kosuke Mori.
Now that the troops were not intercepted by the Eighth Route Army after launching a charge, Mori Kosuke seized the opportunity, and he prepared to approach the Eighth Route Army's position first, and then launch a fire strike.
One hundred meters, eighty meters, getting closer and closer to the position set up by the Eighth Route Army on the mountain, Mori Kosuke began to sneer in his heart.
"Light machine gun grenadiers for fire suppression, the first squad covers, the second squad, the third squad on bayonets." Kosuke Mori drew his command knife, and he gave a loud order.
Seven crooked light machine guns and eight grenadiers began to be erected, and more than 60 devil soldiers began to stop advancing, and they drew their waist bayonets and quickly mounted them on their rifles.
"Kill and give." Kosuke Mori brandished his saber as he shouted loudly.
Light machine guns, grenadiers, and more than 20 rifles quickly fired at the hill position, while more than 60 devil soldiers quickly rushed towards the position with rifles.
Kosuke Mori charged with the troops, brandishing his saber and shouting loudly to boost the morale of the devil soldiers.
"Knock out the little devil light machine gun and grenadier canister, don't fire the heavy machine gun first, shoot the light machine gun and intercept the devil soldiers."
After the little devils began to charge, Luo Dazhuang, the acting commander of the first company, immediately gave an order.
