The sun was rising, the sky was cloudless, and it was a good day, with mountains and a gentle northeast wind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
At the end of the valley of forgetting, the two armies faced each other, the two sides were separated by a minefield, as the attacking side of the Japanese army demining failed, the commander of the Japanese forward unit, squadron leader Kawaguchi Kamehide's face was gloomy, half-squatting behind the hillside, and the three squad leaders were discussing countermeasures, in order to open the situation as soon as possible, in order to capture Feiyun Village, everyone unanimously decided to open the way with grenadiers and blow up a bloody road.
The Japanese army soon began to act, the soldiers have hidden, away from the explosion point, Kawaguchi Kamehide ordered, the entire Japanese squadron of more than a dozen grenadiers gathered together, from the near end of the shelling, gradually extended to the front, for a time, the sound of artillery rumbling, gunpowder smoke filled, the echo of the shelling echoed in the valley. With the explosion of the grenadier canister, the mines in the minefield were detonated one after another, and Kawaguchi Kamehide was full of ambition, sneered, and without waiting for the shelling to end, he ordered the infantry to attack, and he decided to quickly capture the opponent's position with lightning speed.
Li Jie's face was grim, he didn't expect the Japanese army to take such a way to clear mines, although the Japanese army could not remove all the mines in the minefield, but after all, a passage had been opened, looking at the Japanese troops who were attacking like a tide, he gritted his teeth and roared; ''Give me a hard beating.'' ββ
The officers and men who had been impatient for a long time immediately pulled the trigger angrily, and the firing points that had been arranged long ago formed a dense crossfire, and the light machine guns and heavy machine guns were even more frantically pouring bullets, and the hot bullets were as fast as a storm, striking at the invading enemy, and the grenadier gunners were not willing to be lonely, and smashed the shells at the enemy.
The Japanese soldiers obviously underestimated the enemy's firepower, suffered heavy casualties, and were pressed to death in the middle of the course after three or two blows, unable to move, and were forced to retreat, and a whole small team, less than a third of them retreated. Kamehide Kawaguchi was surprised, so many people died in just one round, how can this battle be fought?
The retreating squad leader Toshiura Mishima was embarrassed, and came to Kawaguchi Kamehide with a disgraced face, and said; ''Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, please give me one more chance, let me organize another charge, and I will surely be able to take the position of the China. ββ
Kamehide Kawaguchi glanced at Toshiura Mishima coldly and said; ''Mishima-kun, do you want your squad to be canceled?'' You'd better stay aside, Yamaguchi-kun, you go. β
''Hay. ''Another squad leader, Hyakuo Yamaguchi, said with a fanatical face; "Your Excellency Squadron Leader will not be disappointed, long live the Imperial Japanese Army, Mishima-kun, please cheer for me." ββ
Looking at Yamaguchi Baixiong's slightly sneering eyes, Mishima Toshiura stepped aside stupidly, only to feel that there was a breath in his heart that blocked his chest and couldn't get down, and he was suffocated.
Yamaguchi Baixiong commanded his team, and rushed forward with a roar under the cover of grenadiers and machine guns, but he went up faster and retreated faster, even more embarrassed than Mishima Toshiura, and retreated out of breath, not daring to look into the eyes of squadron leader Kamehide Kawaguchi.
The corners of Mishima Toshiura's mouth curled slightly, and his face seemed to be smiling, with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
''Waste. Kamehide Kawaguchi's face was gloomy, but he thought in his heart, if one attack fiasco was accidental, then what about two? Things are not so simple, judging from the enemy's defense system, the enemy's positions have not been affected by the bombing of aircraft, and they still maintain a perfect firepower configuration and a perfect defense echelon, and they can no longer attack like this, they must first destroy the enemy's positions and fighting spirit.
Thinking of this, Kamehide Kawaguchi immediately ordered his troops to stop the charge, but still maintained a high-pressure posture on the enemy's position, and then ordered the signal corps to immediately report to his superiors and request artillery support to destroy the opponent's position.
The two sides went back and forth, gunfire rang out, and they opened fire. However, this situation only lasted for a while, and Li Jie ordered the troops to stop firing, he was on the defensive side, occupying the advantage of the terrain, and since the enemy did not attack, there was no need to waste ammunition.
"Leader, this little devil has not been beaten, and it has only been two rounds, which is boring. The first company commander Guo Jiayu shook his head and said.
''You think the little devil is stupid?'' We opened the stance, took advantage of the right time and place, and the firepower was fiercer than theirs, if they were still so stunned and rushed up, wouldn't it be looking for death? Yuan Yongjian, the commander of the first battalion, said with a smile.
Li Jie smiled and nodded, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he yelled violently; "Hurry up, all hide, hide in the anti-artillery holes, the enemy is about to start shelling." ββ
Li Jie's roar cut the entire position, and the officers and soldiers immediately ran up in a panic, and drilled into the anti-artillery holes one after another, Li Jie's face was pale, and he only hoped that it was too late to give the order now, he had fought countless battles with the Japanese army, had rich combat experience, and knew the tactics of the Japanese army deeply.
γγγγγThe shells of the Japanese army's Type 97 and 90 infantry guns and 60 mortars exploded on the position, and the officers and men who had not had time to enter the anti-artillery hole were immediately turned on their backs by the bombers, and the screams came one after another, Li Jie's eyes were torn apart, and his face was blue into the anti-artillery hole.
As soon as the enemy's shelling stopped, Li Jie immediately ordered the troops to enter the position again, and at the same time ordered all efforts to treat the wounded, and the stretcher team composed of ordinary people carried the wounded down in the trenches for treatment.
In Huangjiaping, north of Feiyun Village, the battle was equally fierce, Lu Shaohui personally sat in the town, commanded the troops to repel the Japanese army's attacks again and again, due to the large number of new troops, the battlefield survivability was poor, and the casualties were heavy. Lu Shaohui's eyes were red, and his shouting voice was hoarse, eager to turn into tens of millions and hit the Japanese devils hard.
In the Meihua Ridge in the south of Feiyun Village, the Japanese offensive is weaker, the situation is slightly better, the defense here is Xiao Yun's troops, most of them are the original Feiyun Village's villagers, extremely brave, Wang Feiyan personally commanded, everyone wants to show their faces in front of the eldest lady, all of them fight bravely, so that the Japanese army can not take a step forward.
Although the defending troops of Feiyunzhai suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese troops as the attackers, paid a greater price, the battle was fought from morning to dusk, fierce fighting all day, the Japanese troops did not make much progress, when the last rays of the sun disappeared from the horizon, wing commander Sasaki Michiichi had to give an order to stop the attack.
Looking at his three dejected captains, Sasaki Michichi was silent for a long time, as one of the most elite wings of the 13th Division, he fought fiercely all day, and he didn't even break through an army composed of a group of peasants, such a result made him annoyed, but he couldn't bear to blame his subordinates, because it could be seen from their clothes and expressions that they had done their best, which also made Sasaki Michiichi have to re-acquaint himself with the peasant army of Feiyun Village.
The sky in the distance was full of sunset, reflecting the depths of the mountains, the trees all over the mountains, and Lu Shaohui's face, his face was full of solemnity, his eyes were full of awe of death, and he was also full of desire for victory. (To be continued.) )
