As Luo Dazhuang began to give orders, the fighters began to act, and three Czech light machine guns opened fire first.
Czech light machine guns deployed in three different directions of the position began to fire, and the bullets formed a network of fire without dead ends.
The charging devil soldiers were taken by surprise, and more than a dozen devil soldiers fell to the ground on the spot.
But as the three LMG guns were exposed, the Devil Soldier grenadiers and LMG immediately began to fire at the LMG guns, and the riflemen quickly fired at them.
Two light machine gun shooters were killed on the spot, and even though the first company of grenadiers began to counterattack, the Japanese side had the advantage in firepower, and the three grenadiers were quickly suppressed.
"Bang bang." The riflemen of the first squad of the little devils shoot accurately.
Most of the light machine gun shooters they aimed at were hit, and within a few minutes, the 1st Company lost four shooters and a secondary shooter.
However, fortunately, the light machine guns were not lost, but the firepower on the position was completely suppressed.
"The riflemen suppressed the Japanese troops, the light machine guns continued to fire, all strafing, and repelled them first, if the little devils followed us up, we would be in trouble."
Luo Dazhuang saw that the little devil was getting closer and closer to the position, and he shouted anxiously.
The fighters began to quietly show their heads, and they quickly began to pull the trigger on the devil soldiers, and the Japanese firepower began to weaken.
Three Czech light machine guns fired again, this time with strafing, and the bullets were fired as if they were not paying for money.
The attacking momentum of the charging devil soldiers was curbed, and they had to lie on the ground to avoid the bullets.
Kosuke Mori saw that his troops were being suppressed, and he immediately fell to the ground while he glanced behind him.
Seeing that the 3rd Squadron had not yet been reinforced, Kosuke Mori was so angry that he had to start giving orders to retreat.
The first attack of the 4th Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army was repulsed, and the 1st Company brought more than 30 casualties to the 4th Squadron, but it itself paid 7 or 8 casualties.
Seeing that the 4th Squadron was about to retreat, and the soldiers were about to take a breath, the 3rd Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army was belated, and the 3rd Squadron began to attack the position of the 1st Company.
The Japanese troops had an advantage in strength, and they also had an advantage in weapons, and the defenders of Wutai Mountain fought very hard.
By half past seven in the evening, the 1st Company had repelled eight attacks by the 3rd and 4th Squadrons of the 1st Brigade of the 62nd Wing of the Japanese Army, killing 42 Japanese soldiers and wounding 35 Japanese soldiers, but their own casualties reached 28 people, which was already half the number of the first company.
Luo Dazhuang, the acting company commander, was also injured, and his head was wrapped with gauze, but he was still commanding the troops to fight with his injuries.
"Acting company commander, you better go to the field hospital for treatment, you can easily die of excessive blood loss."
A veteran came to Luo Dazhuang, and he said with a worried face.
", a little blood will kill people, if this is the case, I would have died a hundred times, not to mention these useless things, how many weapons and ammunition do we have."
Luo Dazhuang squatted in the trench, he lit a cigarette and looked at the veteran.
"One heavy machine gun, two light machine guns, eighteen rifles, and eight grenades." The veteran immediately replied.
"The little devil will definitely carry out a sneak attack at night, tell the comrades to be vigilant. Lao Zhang, if the position is really unable to hold, you and your comrades will evacuate immediately. In any case, we have to leave a few seeds in a row, and we can't fight them all out. Also, bring this home for me. ā
Luo Dazhuang took out two pieces of ocean from his pocket, and handed them to the veteran, as if he was explaining what was going on.
"Acting company commander, what are you ......?" the veteran asked, puzzled.
Luo Dazhuang just smiled, he didn't answer anything, he knew his own situation very well, he knew that he might not be able to hold out until dawn.
On Wutai Mountain, the headquarters of the Honorary Second Division.
Sun Weiguo has returned to the division headquarters, the current situation in Wutai Mountain is not optimistic, and the Japanese 109th Division is about to join the battle, for Sun Weiguo, this is not a good news, for the entire Chinese troops stationed in Wutai Mountain, it is a bolt from the blue.
"The first regiment of honor suffered more than 200 casualties, the unknown regiment suffered more than 100 casualties, the first regiment of independent infantry suffered more than 400 casualties, and the second regiment of honor suffered more than 100 casualties. Division commander, the little devils are attacking very fiercely, no matter how many casualties they have, they will continue to attack, it seems that they are planning to fight with us. ā
Huang Guohua, chief of the Operations Section, came to Sun Weiguo, and he gave Sun Weiguo a detailed report on today's casualties.
"Let the Luo Hongyi guard battalion be ready for battle." Sun Wei said calmly in Chinese.
"Division commander, now that the Japanese encirclement has not yet been launched, we still have a chance to evacuate Wutai Mountain, once the Japanese 109th Division, the First Division, and the 114th Division troops arrive, then even if we want to break out, there will be no chance." Huang Guohua continued to look at Sun Weiguo and said.
"Section Chief Huang, carry out the order." Zhao Lerong said in a serious tone.
"Yes, Chief of Staff." Huang Guohua saluted Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong, and then he began to walk outside.
"The Japanese army can't hold out for long, as long as we hold on to Wutai Mountain for a week, the Japanese army will definitely evacuate, the key is how we should hold Wutai Mountain for a week."
Sun Weiguo looked at Zhao Lerong, and he said with a solemn expression.
The Japanese troops were short of heavy supplies, and all the towns they captured were scorched earth, and they could not find food and drinking water.
As long as the little devils run out of supplies, they will naturally not be able to continue fighting.
Wutai Mountain attracted five divisions of the Japanese army to fight, while the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region could strike at the empty towns of the Japanese army and the heavy troops of the Japanese army, and the first and second assault groups formed by the second division of honor could hopefully eat the third and fourth brigades of the independent mixed army stationed in Fuping County!
"Division commander, shouldn't you send troops to take the initiative to attack, hit the morale of the Japanese army, and contain the Japanese army, at present, the Japanese troops are continuing to attack, and the soldiers have no chance to rest at all, and the soldiers in many places have not even eaten to fight."
Zhao Lerong looked at the map, and he made a suggestion to Sun Weiguo.
After hearing Zhao Lerong's words, Sun Weiguo did not hesitate, he nodded directly and agreed.
