After dinner, it was getting dark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two squads of soldiers who had been sent to follow the remnants of Yamazaki's brigade had still not returned, and the fourth battalion was about to retreat, and a delay here for a while might cause them to lose even more.

In desperation, Yang Dashan had no choice but to send two soldiers to inform the two squads, asking them to end the tracking and return secretly, and if they encountered a large number of Japanese troops on the way, they were allowed to find a place to hide first, and after the large army came over, they were returning to the building.

In short, this time the pursuit mission was not smooth, the pursuit lasted a whole day, nearly 100 mortar shells were fired, and the result was only in exchange for less than 100 Japanese casualties, and the troops also broke through the defensive line hiding the Japanese army in a daze.

If it weren't for the telegram sent by the headquarters, with Yang Dashan's character, there is a good chance that he would have taken out the anger of this Japanese army.

Even if Tan Yong had already told him, it might be a conspiracy of the Japanese army.

During the night, the 4th Battalion launched a charge towards the small peak, and while the night was dark, the troops did not rush too violently, nor did they rush too high, and simply tested the Japanese firepower.

It didn't matter if it wasn't tempted, but after the temptation, it was found that there seemed to be more enemies staying on the hill at the moment than when the company was late, and the number seemed to have reached more than five hundred.

When he saw this situation, not only Tan Yong, but also Yang Dashan discovered the seriousness of the problem, and without waiting for Tan Yong to remind Yang Dashan, Yang Dashan directly ordered the troops to retreat quickly.

At this time, the soldiers of the fourth battalion also noticed a trace of abnormality, not to mention the Japanese army who had not caught up with the Yamazaki brigade, but this random point wanted to get into the mountains to hit the Japanese defense line, and I don't know if their luck was really bad? Or did the Japanese still have a lot of troops here?

If it is a full battalion, then even now, they will not be afraid of the enemy in front of them.

After all, the army can not only attack, they can also defend, if it is purely defensive, six heavy machine guns, plus six mortars, with six hundred rifles, what is this concept?

Don't brag for the time being, is it just a 2,000 Japanese army, can you break through their defense line in a short time? The answer, no.

Those five heavy machine guns alone could give the Japanese a headache to death, and they had enough strength to support the arrival of reinforcements. But now they are not satisfied, there is a company of more than 200 people, and there is also a lack of a heavy machine gun.

In addition, the Japanese army hiding in the mountains brought some psychological pressure to the soldiers of the fourth battalion, after all, they were alone, no matter how strong they were, once they fell into the situation of being an enemy in front and back, they could not calm down.

They originally wanted to save the first company, but now that the first company is doing well and has made great contributions, their entire fourth battalion is about to fall into danger. It's an equally uncomfortable feeling.

"Battalion commander, there are Japanese troops in front, and our rear road is blocked." A soldier hurried to report.

"What?" Yang Dashan was taken aback, and sure enough, there seemed to be a lot of Japanese troops hiding in this mountain.

"How many Japanese troops are there? Did they find you? Tan Yong's heart tightened, and he immediately asked.

"I shouldn't have found it, it's too dark to see how many there are, it shouldn't be too little, right? They are being fortified on the main road. The soldier continued.

"Armed?" Tan Yong's brows tightened, and the news didn't seem to be too bad.

"Yes, they're arming, and I hear them shoveling dirt."

"Battalion commander, while the enemy is not firmly established, we should immediately rush over and break through the enemy's defensive line, once they are deployed, we will be very passive, and we don't know how many Japanese troops are in the vicinity." Tan Yong immediately suggested.

At this time, it is no longer realistic to return, and it is estimated that the Japanese troops on that mountain peak should also notice the abnormality, and once they send someone down the mountain to check, they will definitely immediately send troops to pursue.

Of course, this Japanese army must have wanted to swallow them in one go, so as to prevent the news of the Japanese hiding in the mountains from being passed on. It's a pity that the Japanese army didn't know that the radio station of the Royal Army had been equipped with battalion-level troops, and the news of the Japanese army hidden in the mountains had already been reported by the 603rd Regiment.

However, since the Japanese army dared to deploy in the middle of the road, they must not have too few troops, otherwise, they would not be able to stop the fourth battalion from breaking through.

And now the only good news is that the Japanese army has not yet gained a stable foothold, and the defense line has not yet been completed, as long as the fourth battalion suddenly attacks at this time, it will not be difficult to break through the Japanese defense line.

"Second company commander, your company quietly touches over, find out the enemy's position, I will order the mortar to attack the target, once the enemy's heavy weapons are destroyed, your company will immediately occupy the defensive line." Yang Dashan turned his head and ordered.

Now is not the time to hesitate, and Yang Dashan is not a person who likes to hesitate.

He had already realized his mistakes in this operation, although he had participated in the previous Sino-Japanese war, but at that time he was only a platoon commander, although he had accumulated a certain amount of combat experience, but now, his combat experience is still a little too little.

But in other words, among the troops of the same level, Yang Dashan's combat experience is relatively rich, and other battalion commanders even have some combat experience that is not as good as him.

But in any case, it was because of Yang Dashan's heart-to-heart talk that the troops fell into the encirclement.

And now the situation is also obvious, the 603rd Regiment simply does not have the energy to send troops to meet them, and if they want to break out of the encirclement, they can only rely on themselves.

But fortunately, it is only about ten kilometers away from the 603rd Regiment here, and as long as the enemy's defense line is broken, the problem will not be too big.

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! The second company commander agreed, and immediately led the troops to quietly touch it.

About ten minutes later, the first kilometer ahead finally came the sound of gunfire, rifles, heavy machine guns, almost at the same time, the Japanese position seemed to be unfinished, after being suddenly attacked by the Royal Army, the Japanese side also began sporadic counterattacks.

Halfway up the mountain, a Japanese heavy machine gun also began to counterattack, although the target could not be seen at night, but as long as the gun was fired, at the moment of shooting, it would leak out of its position, especially the heavy machine gun.

It required continuous shooting, and the mobility was poor, and the Japanese heavy machine guns were hidden in the shadows, and what was even more unexpected was that although a heavy machine gun position was built in the middle of the road, the Japanese deployed the heavy machine guns in the middle of the mountain.

The firing range there is even wider, and in the event of a sudden attack, the fourth battalion will be greatly threatened.

The second company was also suppressed by this heavy machine gun because of lack of preparation, and the machine gunner was even hit in the arm, and his entire right hand was instantly broken, but the machine gunner did not let out a howl of pain, but endured it silently.

Although the Japanese heavy machine guns were very hidden, they instantly recovered the disadvantage by taking advantage of the rear strike.

However, three of the six mortars deployed 800 meters away instantly locked the position of the heavy machine gun, and the second artillery quickly measured the distance and direction of the target with the soil method, and adjusted the shooting Zhu Yuan with his hands and feet, and without saying a word, he directly picked up a shell and stuffed it in.

'Tom~~~'

With a dull sound, the tail of the mortar shell was hit heavily in the barrel, and the gunpowder inside was ignited instantly, and a huge impact force pushed the shell out of the barrel, and the mortar shell disappeared as soon as it left the barrel.

A few seconds later, a violent explosion was heard halfway up the mountain, and an orange flame instantly rose into the air, illuminating the surroundings.

However, the shell did not hit the machine-gun position, but the heavy machine-gun came to a temporary standstill.

But then, a few seconds later, the heavy machine gun spewed out a terrifying fiery serpent again.

At this time, the Japanese army did not care about saving ammunition or anything, although they effectively suppressed the opposite Royal Army with a relatively small number of people, but the pressure on the Japanese army was not light at all.

And the mortars made the Japanese army have to fight in fear, because no one knows whether there will be a shell suddenly falling from their heads in the next moment.

Seeing that a shell deviated from the target, the second artillery adjusted slightly to shoot Zhu Yuan, and then took out a new shell.

Before the second artillery could send the shells into the barrel, there were a few tom-tom sounds beside him, and the six mortars had already attacked with all their might, and this kind of offensive firepower was by no means something that the Japanese could withstand.

Because of the calibration data of the second artillery, the shells fired by the two mobile mortars were closer to the target, but it was clear that they had no chance.

With a muffled sound, a few seconds later, there was a violent explosion where the heavy machine gun was, and at the same time, there were a lot of machine gun ammunition followed by the explosion, like a huge firework, the bullets instantly shot aimlessly, drilling into all the targets that could be drilled without reservation, regardless of friend or foe.

Of course, at that distance, there was no Royal Army, because the bullets that were detonated would not normally fly to a distance of two hundred meters.

With the heavy machine gun halfway up the hill being eliminated, the second company's side instantly regained its firepower superiority, and the enemy's defense line in the middle of the road had been bombarded by several shells.

Through the faint light of the fire, it seems that there are not many Japanese troops deployed there, and it is possible that they have abandoned it after the attack began.

But in any case, the six mortars still carried out the artillery fire according to the pre-plan, and at the same time, the second company also began to slowly approach the enemy position with the help of cover, and the third company followed closely behind, just in case.

The 4th Company stayed at the battalion headquarters, moving with other heavy machine guns and mortars, as well as the battalion headquarters, and also preventing the enemy from suddenly coming out of the area. (To be continued.) )
