This attack was also launched by the strength of a squadron, and the Dai Po Ridge was a not very long mountain, and the road was turned over the mountain, and there were too many troops to spread out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The topography of Dai Po Ridge is somewhat unique, and if you want to rush to Qinglong Gorge from this side, Dai Po Ridge is an important road that must be passed. Of course, it is possible to get around Qinglong Gorge from other places, but in that case, it will take an extra three hours.

Seeing that the devil bent down and rushed to a hundred meters away from the position of the second company, the company commander Sheng Dongsheng shouted and hit, and the shell gun in his hand immediately rang out. The soldiers lying on the ridge immediately fired at their respective targets, and the bullets flew towards the devils, who also knew that the eight roads on the ridge could not disappear directly under a round of artillery fire, so they were naturally ready for a fierce battle.

Seeing that bullets were indeed fired from the ridge, the devil immediately looked for cover, and then rushed towards the ridge while shooting.

The light and heavy machine guns that provided fire suppression in the back were set up one after another, and the bullets rained down on the ridge, while the grenadiers also fired shells at the ridge.

Immediately the second company's position sounded like a popping bean.

Sheng Dongsheng saw that the devil was attacking fiercely, and while ordering the soldiers to fight hard, he let the grenadiers assigned to the company be erected behind and bombarded fiercely towards the formation of the devil's charge.

The shells flew down from the ridge and landed directly in the attacking team of the devils, and many devils were blown off by the explosion and flew out directly. As for the devils who ran in front, in the fierce resistance of the second company, they fell to the ground covered in blood one after another.

The leader of the devil squadron who commanded the attack didn't expect that the blockade of the Eighth Route was so tenacious, and his troops fell forty or fifty people in a blink of an eye, and the squad was almost directly reimbursed, and he was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot, and he waved his command knife and shouted loudly Kill Gege, kill Gege.

The devil soldiers, who were originally a little timid, heard the squadron leader's order, immediately turned their hearts sideways, immediately stood up from the ground with their guns, and began to rush forward desperately, and the crooked handles and heavy machine guns behind them were even more happy.

Sheng Dongsheng didn't expect the devil to attack his position without his life, and the soldiers around him fell one after another, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly: "Comrades, give me a hard beating, you must block the devil." As he spoke, the bullets in the pistol were empty in a blink of an eye, and he saw that the light machine gunner on the side had been sacrificed, so he immediately grabbed it, grabbed the machine gun, and saw that there were still bullets in it, and quickly swept towards the devils who were getting closer and closer, and the four ghost soldiers were hit by the sudden bullets, and rolled down the ridge screaming.

The two sides were red-eyed on the ridge, Kawasaki saw that his soldiers were about to rush up the mountain, his hand holding the binoculars could not help but tremble, he had never encountered such a strong will to fight since he set foot on Chinese soil, his own soldiers rushed up the ridge three times, and were driven down three times.

It's a pity that the two sides have been mixed together, and the artillery fire he arranged in the back will not work at all.

Unless indiscriminate bombardment is employed.

Half an hour later, the attacking devils finally failed to occupy the mountain, so they had to leave behind more than 80 corpses and retreat.

Sheng Dongsheng was relieved to see that the devil had finally retreated, and sat on the ground, and at this moment, Hua Xiaohu's order came down and asked him to immediately withdraw to the back with his troops.

Sheng Dongsheng seemed to have been stung by a bee, and suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly for the warrior to quickly run back.

As soon as the second company withdrew to the rear, the devil's shells flew again, and the mountain was immediately plunged into a sea of fire, and scorching shrapnel flew everywhere, and those craters were blown up in a mess, and the entire mountain was full of floating soil.

Hua Xiaohu hid under the steep ridge behind, listening to the explosion on the mountain like a drumbeat, knowing that the devil had made a bloody investment, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the guard post left on the ridge.

At this moment, the regiment commander Liu Tianshu ran over from behind with a few soldiers.

"Xiaohu, how's the situation?"

"Regiment commander, we repelled two rounds of attacks by the devils, but the casualties of the troops are not small." Hua Xiaohu thought of more than half of the casualties of the second company, and couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.

Liu Tianshu stretched out his hand and patted Hua Xiaohu's shoulder, and said heavily: "Xiaohu, contact the guard post on the ridge, pay attention to the movements of the devil, I asked Company Commander Shu to prepare for the shelling there, and we will also let the little devil taste the power of the cannonball." ”

The two artillery platoons that Shu Zhi personally carried carried six 92 infantry guns, and because they were temporarily equipped with a transport platoon, they brought two base ammunition.

Considering that the devil was coming to meet the ferocity, before Liu Tianshu arrived, Shu Zhi only concentrated on choosing the position and studying the situation in front of the ridge, and at the same time determining the shelling parameters.

At this moment, there was the roar of an airplane in the sky, Liu Tianshu and Hua Xiaohu didn't expect the devil's plane to come to help in the battle, but due to the limited terrain of Daipoling, when the plane bombed, the devil didn't dare to attack.

The three battalions could only hide behind the ridge and watch out for the bombardment.

The repeated bombardment of aircraft and artillery finally cut all the trees on the mountain, and the floating soil on the entire hill was half a foot deep.

The devil's artillery fire began to extend to the back of the ridge, and Liu Tianshu knew that the devil's infantry was about to launch a new round of attack, so he immediately asked Shi Hu to send personnel to the front to observe the situation, and at the same time let Shu Zhi's artillery company prepare.

As for Hua Xiaohu's first and second companies, they were arranged to evacuate to Qinglong Gorge in advance with the wounded.

Just now, I had received a telegram from Political Commissar Liao that the transport troops were approaching the mouth of Qinglong Gorge, and at the same time, Han Fangping's troops were also engaged in a fierce battle with the devils who were rushing towards the mouth of Qinglong Gorge in the east.

In other words, to repel this round of attacks by devils, Liu Tianshu and they must retreat to Qinglong Gorge.

The artillery fire extended back by the devils did not bring any damage to the third battalion, after all, the artillery of the devils was not clear about the situation behind the ridge, and the result of the indiscriminate bombardment was that many shells fell into the ravine behind the ridge.

The observation post in front quickly passed back the location where the devils had assembled, and at the same time, there was also the artillery position that the devils had arranged under the Dai Po Ridge.

There was no devil's plane in the sky, and he knew the devil's assembly position and artillery position, Liu Tianshu let out a sigh of relief and said to Shu Zhi who was standing aside: "Shu Zhi, are you ready?" ”

"Regiment commander, don't worry, according to your instructions, the artillery company is ready, three infantry guns to deal with the devil's artillery position, and the other three to deal with the devil's infantry, to ensure that the devil has a long memory." Shu Zhi said with confidence.

"Let's get started." Liu Tianshu said lightly, and took Shi Hu to climb up the ridge.

Shu Zhi knew that the regiment commander wanted to see the effect of the artillery in person, and immediately shouted to the artillerymen who had prepared early: "Ready, release!" ”

With his big hand, six shells blurted out and flew straight towards their respective targets, followed by six more shells flying into the sky.

The devils who had completed the assembly were about to launch a new round of attacks on the bombed ridge under the command of a squadron leader, when suddenly a strange sound came from the sky, which turned out to be the sound of infantry shells produced by the Empire.

The Japanese squadron leader couldn't help but be stunned, and when he looked up, he saw countless shells flying towards his assembly position as if they had eyes.

In an instant, the Japanese squadron leader's brain came to a standstill, and when the explosion sounded, he came back to his senses, and made a sharp sound from his mouth, ordering the soldiers to find cover.

It's a pity that at this time, I remembered that it was too late to evacuate, and the shells exploded one after another in the crowd, as if there were waves surging in the sea, and with the explosion flew, it was the soldiers who were blown up to pieces, and many soldiers didn't have time to scream at all, so they took off, and the last memory was saved on the white clouds in the sky.

When the assembled devil squadron was shelled, the artillery position that was firing at the back of the ridge also fell into the sea of fire, and countless shells fell on the artillery position, tearing the soldiers who were operating the artillery fire to pieces one by one, and the remaining soldiers dropped the shells in their hands, turned around and ran back, but unfortunately where could people run past the shells, and in a blink of an eye they were hit by the explosion of the shells, and flew out screaming.

As for the infantry guns on the artillery positions, they were either blown into parts or directly overturned, and the shells that were put aside were eventually hit, and then exploded, and the entire artillery positions were blown into ruins.

When Kawasaki landed the first shell in the assembled Japanese formation, his eyes widened, he never dreamed that the Eighth Road on the ridge was still hiding such a fierce artillery fire, the two rounds of attack just now, the two sides fought so fiercely, and the Eighth Road did not use artillery fire to support the slightest, making Kawasaki think that the Eighth Road on the ridge was a bit of a grenadier at most.

Now it's okay, the artillery in his hands is directly reimbursed under his nose, a squadron that was preparing to attack was also blown into pieces, and a brigade under his own command lost more than half of its troops in the blink of an eye.

What embarrassed him even more was that the artillery fire of the brigade was completely destroyed.

Fortunately, the artillery attack on the eighth road ended in less than ten minutes.

Dai Po Ling has returned to its former tranquility, if it weren't for the smoke slowly drifting away from the mountain, and the smell of sulfur in the air, no one would have thought that this place had just experienced an incomparably tragic bloody battle.

Looking at the soldiers screaming and moaning all over the ground, looking at the artillery positions that had been blown out of a large crater, Kawasaki suddenly felt dizzy.

The Japanese captain next to him hurriedly helped him, Kawasaki stabilized his mind, and said weakly to the captain: "Order the troops to stop the attack and prevent the eight-way counterattack." ”

The remaining Japanese troops retreated three hundred meters and began to prepare for defense.

It's just that when the Japanese army did all this, there was still no movement on the mountain, not only did no shells fly out, but even a human figure did not appear.

I heard a report from the captain of the Japanese squad who cautiously rushed up the ridge that there was not a single Eighth Road on the Dai Po Ridge, and except for a pile of bullet shells, there was no trace of the Eighth Road on the ridge.

When Kawasaki heard this, he understood that the fierce artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army just now was not to attack him, but to inflict heavy damage on himself, and then retreat smoothly.

Unfortunately, knowing that it was too late, he had to contact the Japanese army in the east while ordering the troops to pursue in the direction of Qinglong Gorge. (To be continued.) )
