After Han Yu thought about it, he had no other way but to agree to the suggestions of the two subordinates.
The company of recruits defending each line of defense was reduced to a platoon, and after the main force of the Japanese army began to attack, they prepared some tricks for the devils and immediately withdrew from the position.
Of course, if the devils don't send out the main force to attack as soon as they come up, and send out small troops to launch a tentative attack, this platoon of recruits doesn't mind fighting the devils for a dozen as training.
The next morning, the devil who had rested for the night regained his fighting spirit.
Because of the heavy losses caused by the successive sneak attacks on the forward squadron yesterday, the independent regiment decided that it had a strong force and that it did not have the strength to deal with its own brigade commander, so he decisively ordered the troops to march in a group.
The commander of the Devil's Brigade had the experience of marching on the first day as a reference, and Han Yu's department also had the experience of sneak attack on the first day.
Although the more than 3,000 Japanese troops gathered together were a behemoth, the sneak attack troops that were discharged by Han Yu were not vegetarians.
Constantly using the terrain to attack the assembled Japanese troops from a distance, hit and go.
If the Japanese ignore it, the sneak attack troops will continue to use firepower to kill and injure devils from a distance.
If the devils send troops to counterattack, the sneak attack troops will immediately turn their guns to pick up the devil soldiers who are chasing into the mountains, and use guerrilla warfare to eliminate the devil's pursuit troops little by little.
After nearly two hours of the sneak attack, which annoyed the brigade commander, a blocking position built on a hillside next to the mountain road appeared.
Although the position was not very large, at most only one or two companies could be deployed. But the commander of the Devil Brigade did not dare to despise it at all.
The position placed on the mountainside is too close to the path you must pass, if you can't take this position. The independent regiment only needs to put two heavy machine guns on the position, and the condescending heavy machine gun fire can cover all the troops that want to pass here.
At that time, even if their own troops can rush through, the losses will be very large.
Therefore, as soon as he saw the specific intention of the independent regiment in this arrangement, the brigade commander ordered the troops to immediately launch an attack and strive to take the mountainside position of the independent regiment in half an hour.
Yesterday, the devils who had already fought the experience of the day, as soon as they came up, they bombarded with mortars and strafed with heavy machine guns. After that, an infantry brigade was dispatched directly to attack the mountainside under the cover of grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns at close range.
At this time, the devil artillery who had just shelled was not idle, and continued to stand next to the mortar, with a posture of firing at any time.
It turned out that the devils already knew the method of the independent regiment using anti-artillery holes to evade artillery bombardment, and in order to reduce the casualties of the attacking troops, they were ready to wait for the independent regiment on the position to come out of the anti-artillery holes and then bomb the position of the independent regiment on the mountainside again, and then the infantry launched a real attack.
In the face of such a vigorous attack by the devils, the defenders with only one platoon certainly did not have the courage to carry them hard.
Therefore, in the face of the devil soldiers who are getting closer and closer, they all hide in the trenches and prepare tricks for the devils.
When it was over, everyone had a grenade in their hands, ready to wait for the devil to rush close, first throw a round of grenades to greet the devil, and then retreat, leaving the position and the mines prepared on the position to the devils.
Therefore, the devil's attacking troops rushed all the way to the front fifty meters without encountering any counterattack.
The artillerymen who had been on standby in the back subconsciously realized that the defenders must have been blown away in the shelling just now.
In addition, the attacking troops were too close to the position, and even if the artillery was fired, there would be accidental damage. The commander of the devil's artillery squadron decisively ordered his subordinates to begin disassembling the mortars, preparing to wait for the attacking troops to occupy the positions of the independent regiment and continue to hurry.
After firing a few grenades at the quiet mountainside position with the grenadiers of the attacking team, the devil directly stopped this waste of shells and rushed up the mountainside with the riflemen.
Thirty meters, after most of the devil attack troops rushed into the range of grenades, more than 30 defenders in a platoon immediately threw grenades under the order of the platoon commander.
As soon as one grenade was fired, a second one was thrown.
Then, without waiting for the second round of grenades to explode, he retreated to the forest behind him along the anti-artillery holes dug in advance.
By the time the devils reacted from the violent explosion and desperately counterattacked with bullets and grenades, more than thirty recruits had already run away, and the mountainside position had once again returned to tranquility.
In this case, the devil directly showed a bewildered expression.
Then everyone lay on the ground, neither in nor in or out. After all, they didn't know if the mountainside position in front of them still hid a killing machine that they didn't know about.
Although the three squads of devils attacked in three directions and the formation was also scattered, because most of the devils rushed into the range of grenades and their vigilance was low, more than 70 grenades smashed down in two rounds, still killing and injuring forty or fifty devils.
Around the square eye, there were the corpses of comrades who were frightened to death, or the wounded who let out bursts of screams.
With such a large proportion of casualties, even the battle-hardened devil soldiers are afraid at this time.
After lying on the ground and waiting for five minutes, the position close at hand was almost blown up by grenades, and there was no movement, before the devil had the courage to get up and continue to rush towards the mountainside position.
This time, they easily rushed to the position and did not meet any resistance.
It was supposed to be a very happy result, but seeing that there was no one in front of me, there was not even a single corpse. The devil didn't show any smile on his face, but a gloomy face, and everyone was holding back their anger and had nowhere to vent.
"Baga, the cunning independent regiment, when did they run. It is a shame for the soldiers of the Empire to kill so many of our warriors and then slip away! Several devil officers scolded one after another.
At this time, a string of gunshots suddenly came to mind in the forest behind the position, and several unprepared devils were directly shot and fell to the ground.
"Bage Yalu, it's an independent regiment, they fled to the woods, fast into the trenches to hide, and immediately counterattack!" Because the devil was frightened by the deceitful thunder in front of him, even if he rushed to the position of the independent regiment, he did not jump directly into the trench, but stood on the edge of the trench.
The retreating platoon commander saw the devil like this, and stood in front of the trench like a target.
Not only in order to let his soldiers experience the feeling of shooting devils, but also to force the devils into the trenches, so that the tricks prepared by everyone for the devils worked, the platoon commander decisively led the troops back to kill the devils and return to the carbine.
As soon as the squadron leader and squad leader's order arrived, more than a hundred devils jumped into the trench like dumplings.
At this time, a scene that made the devil unforgettable for life appeared.
No sooner had they jumped into the trench than an explosion sounded behind them.
Dodge the trick of the grenade, and it is easily detonated by the devils, and then use the broken money to kill and injure a large number of the surrounding devil soldiers.
As soon as the explosion passed, there was a scream in the trenches. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
