Chapter 255: The Goal Is Achieved
More than 800 devils, as if they had been stimulated, rushed to the top of the mountain with a roar under the cover of heavy machine guns. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the scene that the division commander had experienced reappeared.
In the face of the attack of the brigade under his command, the Liaodong Army defending the mountain seemed to be dead, and there was no movement.
However, the division commanders, who had fought with the Liaodong Army many times, became more worried about this attack the more they did so.
A few hours ago, the Liaodong Army, which was blocking itself, made its two brigades almost ineffective in this situation and atmosphere.
Thus, in the absence of any movement from the defenders of the hill, the closer the attacking troops approached the hill, the deeper the division commander's brow wrinkled.
Sure enough, as soon as the attacking troops rushed to a position less than 100 meters away from the top of the mountain, signs of Liaodong Army activity began to appear on the quiet hill.
Then, the dense gunfire reached the ears of the commander of the Devil Division.
Under the stunned gaze of the division commander, more than 20 heavy machine guns suddenly appeared in the Liaodong military fortifications on the mountain.
As soon as more than 20 heavy machine guns were fired, the suppressive fire of a dozen heavy machine guns of one of his own squadrons was suppressed.
At this time, a large number of light machine guns and pistols equipped with the Liaodong Army once again played a huge role.
As soon as so much automatic fire was fired, it rushed to the subordinates halfway up the mountain, just like ripe wheat, and was cut to the ground in patches.
Soon, a huge gap appeared in the dense attacking forces on the hilltop.
As the battle continued, a squadron of heavy machine guns on the battlefield was unable to provide fire support to the infantry. This gap is getting bigger and bigger.
At this time, the division commander was eager to give an artillery order to the field artillery brigade behind.
However, in the end, the division commander held back.
On the surface, the attacking force was still seventy or eighty meters away from the Liaodong Army, but do not forget that the entire battlefield was a very steep slope, not a plain.
Seventy or eighty meters on the slope is arduous, and if calculated according to the horizontal distance, it is only forty or fifty meters, which is completely within the range of misfire from the field artillery.
More importantly. The attack was not right in the middle of the mountain, and even if the field artillery did not fire by mistake, all orders were given to the mountain.
The rocks on the hill that were blown up by the field artillery rolled down from the mountain, and their lethality did not have to be small by the misfire of the artillery.
So. The commander of the Devil's Division could only watch the attacking troops being defeated by the mountain defenders one by one, but he had no other way.
Unless the division commander gives the order to retreat now.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes.
Under the gaze of the division commander's gloomy eyes, the attacking troops finally lost more than half of their losses. Rush to a distance of less than forty meters from the top of the mountain.
At this time, as long as the attacking troops tried harder, the remaining 400 people on the battlefield would be able to rush up the hill with all their might and strangle with the Liaodong Army.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The Liaodong Army, which was defending the mountain, did not know where another reinforcement appeared.
And that's not all, this reinforcement force actually has a pistol that can shoot continuously.
As this pistol platoon joined the battle, the firepower of the defenders on the hill increased significantly.
And thirty or forty meters away. Not to be impartial, it happens to be the best range for the pistol.
Therefore, as soon as this pistol platoon entered the battlefield, it shot an impenetrable bullet net in front of the attacking troops under its command.
Under the interception of this bullet net, no matter how brave the attacking troops are and how unafraid of death, they will never be able to break through this fire net.
Not only that, but the attacking troops, which had already lost more than half of them, lost more than 100 people again in just one minute.
Although the facts that happened in front of him made it difficult for the commander of the Devil Division to believe. However, the attacking troops on the battlefield were getting smaller and smaller, and they directly told him with facts that if the order to retreat was not given. Then his Fifth Brigade is likely to be wiped out.
So, although the face of the commander of the devil division was full of unwillingness, he still decisively ordered: "Retreat, the attacking troops will retreat immediately......"
"Field artillery brigade, as soon as the attacking troops withdraw from the battlefield, bombard me...... Today, I will use artillery shells to flatten all the hills defended by the Liaodong Army. Bombed the Liaodong Army to the point that there were no bones left, and the eight grid tooth roads were ......"
However, what the commander of the Devil Division did not expect was that as soon as his attacking troops retreated, the Liaodong Army defending the hill also began to retreat.
With the hilltop fortifications, the Liaodong army blocked the devils for more than an hour, and also wiped out nearly 1,000 of them. Suffice it to say, this hill fortification has fulfilled its mission.
Of course, there was another reason why they retreated so quickly.
The remnants of a regiment of more than 300 people, plus a battalion of more than 300 people temporarily supplemented by the garrison regiment, there are not even 300 people who can still move at this moment.
With this amount of troops, it can't stop the next round of attacks by the devils.
This time, the devil shelled for twenty minutes before stopping.
The commander of the Devil Division can be sure that after being baptized by hundreds or thousands of shells, the mountain, which is not high, has been cut down by at least two meters.
With such a fierce artillery attack, the commander of the Devil Division was confident that even if the Liaodong Army defending the hill was not killed, there would be very little left.
Therefore, the strength of another brigade, immediately under the order of the division commander, rushed to the top of the mountain.
Soon, these devils rushed up the hill full of floating earth.
What disappointed them was that not to mention the figure of the Liaodong Army on the mountain, not even a single corpse of the Liaodong Army was seen.
After the news was delivered to the division commander, the division commander had no other way to vent his anger and dissatisfaction than scolding.
Under such circumstances, the main force of the Second Division of the Devils tossed again for half an hour before continuing to attack.
At this moment, the two squadrons of devils who were brought into the mountains by the two platoons of the Liaodong Army are experiencing the most painful period of their lives.
One shot in the east and one shot in the west of the Liaodong Army...... One instigator machine gun bullet in the east, one instigator machine gun bullet in the west...... Under the continuous blows, the strength of a squadron of devils, and at this moment, there is only half a squadron left.
What's more, the remaining seventy or eighty devils in the whole squadron have become frightened birds.
In the process of pursuing the Liaodong Army, as long as there was a little movement around them, the devils would lie on the ground and shoot round after round of bullets around.
At first, the devil didn't think it was a problem.
However, as soon as the two hours passed, they found that the fifty rounds of ammunition they had carried with them were not much left after continuous firing.
At this moment, a series of gunshots suddenly rang out on their right, and the three soldiers fell to the ground without even screaming.
In the face of the attack, the remaining soldiers of the devil immediately fell to the ground. Pick up your rifle, load your bullet, and start shooting in the direction where the shots rang out.
One round, two rounds......
Dozens of devils shot six or seven rounds of bullets forward before they slowly stopped.
In the direction where the gun had just been fired, there was no movement at all.
At this time, the devil didn't have to guess to know that the Liaodong Army that attacked him must have escaped.
Just as the leader of the devil squadron was about to order his subordinates to continue the pursuit along the trails left by the Liaodong Army, an exclamation directly reached the ears of the squadron leader. (To be continued.) )
