Chapter 524: The Battle in the Fog (I)
These damned Chinese are even more afraid of death than the imperial warriors, and dare to hold cluster grenades and die with the imperial soldiers who rushed up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, after the Chinese took the lead, some brave imperial soldiers, also with melon grenades in their hands, rushed forward desperately.
This kind of desperate fight to the end made the soldiers on both sides red-eyed, and in the end, there was no one complete in the place where the two armies met.
Looking at the corpses of the imperial soldiers all over the ground, Jiang Cheng lost confidence in himself for the first time.
He glanced up at Longguling and painfully ordered his troops to withdraw from their positions. After dawn, the air force bombed Longguling again, and then took advantage of the situation to capture Longguling in one fell swoop.
However, in order to prevent the New Fourth Army from launching an attack in the dark night, Jiang Cheng ordered his troops to take tight defensive measures.
Shi Qiang and Chen Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they were sure that the devil had finally retreated, this battle at night could be described as an extremely cruel fight, the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, and as soon as this battle ended, they naturally had to lick their respective wounds.
Shi Qiang and Chen Jian went to the position to take a look, and before leaving the position and returning to the command post, they found that although the devils had retreated, they had taken strict precautions under the ridge, knowing that it was impossible to attack the enemy in the dark night, so they could only return with regret.
Finally, the next morning, Shi Qiang and Chen Jian opened their eyes and found that the entire mountain range was shrouded in dense fog, and they couldn't help but worry and rejoice, worried about whether the little devil would take advantage of the dense fog to launch an attack on their position, and happy that in such weather, the devil's plane could not come to help in the battle.
At that moment, the two of them ordered the troops guarding the position by phone to strictly prevent the devils from sneaking attack.
It's just that Shi Qiang didn't expect that the devils under the ridge saw the dense fog and were also worried that the New Fourth Army would suddenly come out and launch a counterattack against them, so Jiang Cheng ordered all troops to be vigilant.
Sure enough, just after nine o'clock, a sparse burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from the north, followed by several screams from the thick fog. Immediately afterward, the Japanese positions guarding the north side rang out with dense gunfire.
Thankfully, the gunfire didn't last long, and it soon stopped.
"What? The northern position was attacked by a small group of troops of the New Fourth Army? Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the report from his subordinates.
Although he ordered his troops to withdraw to the bottom of the ridge, he built a defensive position on the opposite side of Longguling in strict accordance with the regulations, and in his opinion, what he was most worried about was that the New Fourth Army would launch a counterattack against him from the front, and as for other aspects, he was not too worried.
Because the main force of the New Fourth Army was blocked by him on the ridge, even if there was a small force, in the face of such a large number of imperial troops, he should not dare to come to pick up his beard.
Who would have thought that there were really people who were not afraid of death, and even attacked their own troops through the thick fog, but fortunately, the losses of the troops were not large, but because the fog was too big, the troops could not pursue, and these damned Chinese escaped smoothly.
Jiang Cheng walked impatiently back and forth in the command post, looked back at an officer and said, "Contact the division commander immediately, when will the plane arrive?" ”
Although the dense fog didn't know when it would dissipate, Jiang Cheng still decided to prepare in advance.
"Since everyone can't see clearly, why don't you send troops to quietly touch Longguling in advance." Jiang Cheng thought about it for a while, and immediately ordered the first brigade of the Aoki Wing to get ready, and immediately took advantage of the dense fog to send two squadrons to advance quietly.
Even if you can't rush up the ridge, as long as you lie in ambush under the ridge in advance, once the fog clears, you can give the New Fourth Army a surprise attack.
More than 300 devils from the 1st and 2nd Squadrons of the 1st Brigade of the Aoki Wing quickly assembled, and then under the leadership of the squadron leader, the troops divided into two roads and quietly ran towards Longguling.
After Jiang Cheng sent troops to take advantage of the fog to prepare to rush to Longgu Ridge, the troops of the 68th Regiment and the 72nd Regiment guarding the ridge also thought of taking advantage of the fog to plant explosives under the ridge in advance.
This time, the two regiments formed a temporary detachment, because they wanted to attack the city, the division specially distributed a batch of explosives, two-thirds of which was used to blow up the Japanese mountain artillery positions, and the remaining one-third was directly divided between the two regiment commanders.
Each of the two regiments sent a platoon and quietly descended the ridge with explosives. Soldiers from both sides approached quietly in the thick fog.
Platoon Commander Yang ran to the bottom of the ridge with the soldiers, found the position mentioned by the regiment commander, and immediately ordered the soldiers to dig a pit to bury explosives.
Suddenly, a soldier heard a strange noise in the distance, and couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly ran to the squad leader's ear and whispered: "Squad leader, there is a situation." ”
When the somewhat thin squad leader heard this, he hurriedly listened carefully, and found that dozens of meters in front of him, there was indeed a slight sound of footsteps. He immediately said to the fighter: "Stone, quick, go and report to the platoon commander." ”
As he spoke, he quietly lifted the rifle in his hand, slowly pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet, and at the same time, took out two grenades, unscrewed the back cover, and placed them in front of the dirt pit.
There shouldn't be any of your comrades-in-arms in this direction, besides, listening to the footsteps, it seems that there are not many people coming, and it seems that most of them are devils.
The other two fighters also followed the squad leader to prepare for battle.
Last night, many soldiers in the regiment fell under the guns of the devils, which made them full of anger against the little devils.
After three minutes, countless figures faintly appeared in front of them, and these figures walked very slowly and carefully, and spread out, but they soon saw that it was the devil.
Seeing those devils bending over and walking forward step by step, the squad leader stared at it with a pair of eyes, and at the same time lowered his voice and said: "Listen to my orders, as soon as I shoot, you two will shoot immediately, and I will retreat immediately if I shout to retreat." ”
At this moment, I suddenly felt that there was a figure around me, and when I looked back, it was the stone that went to report to Platoon Commander Yang. The squad leader couldn't help frowning: "Stone, why did you come back?" ”
"Squad leader, platoon commander asked me to tell you, don't fight with devils, you must pay attention to safety." Shi said honestly.
"As long as you talk a lot, I know, remember, follow me, watch out for devil bullets." The squad leader lovingly reached out and patted the stone.
When he saw that the devil was less than forty meters away from him, the squad leader raised his gun and aimed at a devil walking in front, and shot it with a snap, and a bloody hole appeared in the devil's chest, and he immediately fell down with a scream.
However, the sound of this gunfire immediately tore through the silence of the early morning, and the devil did not expect to be attacked, but the visibility in this dense fog was only about fifty meters, and the devil behind could not see the situation in front at all.
As soon as the squad leader fired, the three soldiers also raised their guns and banged into each other, and several figures swayed and fell down in the thick fog, but the devils also discovered their positions, and with a howl, more than a dozen devils ran towards the squad leader while shooting, and the rest of the devils accelerated their advance.
Anyway, in such a fog, no one can figure out the details of the other party, what is compared is courage, courage and the spirit of daring to sacrifice.
The squad leader fired four bullets in a blink of an eye, then shouted and threw the grenade, grabbed the two grenades in front of him at the same time, pulled the lead and threw it suddenly, and then shouted to retreat. After rolling out of the pit for four or five meters on the ground, he saw that the three soldiers had left the pit and ran backwards, so he quickly turned around and fired a shot at the devil who was chasing after the explosion of the grenade.
Immediately afterwards, the squad leader quickly put away the gun, rolled on the ground, and at the same time felt a bullet bridge, and quickly loaded the 38 big cover in his hand, then stood up and flew forward.
Just ran less than ten meters, and saw that he was about to catch up with the three of them, and the squad leader was overjoyed. At this moment, the body of the stone running in front of him slammed down, then shook twice, and then ran forward two steps desperately, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
"Stones." The squad leader was suddenly terrified, rushed over in two steps, squatted down and saw that blood was constantly spilling from the stone mouth.
When the other two fighters found that the stone had been shot, they immediately turned around and half-crouched, and as they quickly loaded their guns into their guns, they prepared for cover.
"Stone, hold on, I'll take you back." The squad leader didn't think much about it, stretched out his hand and pulled the stone, suddenly carried it on his shoulder, and ran backwards quickly.
At this time, the devil had already chased closer, and the two warriors showed fortitude on their faces, lying on a dirt bag, raising their guns and shooting at the chasing devils.
It's a pity that there are too many devils chasing after them, as the devils set up the machine guns crookedly, they were held down by the devils, and then two shells from grenadiers flew, and the two soldiers died on the spot.
The squad leader carried the stone all the way and ran wildly, and finally met with Yang Platoon Leader and others, Yang Platoon Leader looked at the stone on the squad leader's shoulder, and couldn't help but shout: "Old squad leader, what's wrong with the stone?" ”
"Platoon Commander Yang, the stone is injured, save the stone, it's me who is not good, I didn't protect the stone, I'm useless." The squad leader has been blaming himself on the side.
Platoon Commander Yang grabbed it at this time and saw that the side of the stone's mouth was full of blood, and his head was crooked to the side, he hurriedly reached out and tried it, and found that the stone had stopped breathing.
Platoon Commander Yang couldn't help but be full of grief and indignation, he grabbed the squad leader's shoulders and said bitterly: "Squad leader, he sacrificed the stone, but don't worry, I will definitely avenge the stone." ”
At this moment, the soldiers on guard in front reported that the devils had chased after them, and when Platoon Commander Yang saw it, he had to shout that we should retreat, and quickly ran to the ridge with the remains of the whole platoon carrying stones.
The squad leader, who kept blaming himself, also came to his senses at this time, knowing that the two soldiers who stayed behind to cover him might have died, and his face was full of tears, and he glanced at the chasing devil with hatred, and ran towards the ridge with the remaining soldiers in the squad.
The gunshots in the dense fog had already alarmed Shi Qiang, Chen Jian and the two regiment leaders, Shi Qiang looked at the dense fog under the ridge with a solemn face, and made sure that the dense fog would not disperse for a while, so he said to Lin Fuguang, who came back last night: "Company Commander Lin, the devil dares to brave the thick fog to rush, I don't know whether to live or die, it's up to you next." ”
"Detachment leader, just rest assured, I will definitely let the devil know how many eyes Lord Ma has at the bottom." Lin Fuguang looked at the bottom of the ridge and said with a murderous aura. (To be continued.) )
