After the attack was blocked, the remaining Liaodong Army immediately lay on the ground and fired at the Japanese army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Because of the condescending terrain advantage, even if the Liaodong Army was lying on the ground, people were still constantly hit by bullets.

Not only that, in order to completely defeat the Liaodong Army, the Japanese army took out all its limited strength and firepower, and desperately shot bullets at the Liaodong Army on the mountainside.

And at this moment, the scream of the cannonball, which they least wanted to hear, sounded in the air again.

Because the shelling was too close, the Japanese troops who were desperately shooting bullets at the mountainside did not have time to react, and dozens of mountain artillery shells smashed around them and exploded.

In the blink of an eye, the hill was on the top of the mountain, and the Japanese army was killed and wounded.

The sudden artillery attack frightened the Japanese army, and no one could have imagined that the Liaodong Army would open fire at this time.

The Japanese wing captain was shocked, and scolded with a stunned face: "Baga, isn't the Liaodong Army afraid of bombing their own people?" Order the troops to hide immediately and hide from the shells! ”

As soon as the words were finished, a new round of shells had already smashed on the battlefield and exploded.

This time, although quite a number of Japanese soldiers were already lying on their stomachs in bunkers and assuming a posture to avoid artillery fire, dozens of Japanese soldiers were still blown to the ground by shells.

Soon, the artillery fire, which lasted less than two minutes, was over.

By this time, the total strength of the Japanese army had been sharply reduced to about 300 men. What's more, because the artillery fire came so suddenly, the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese troops on the positions did not have time to divert at all.

After the artillery fire of just a few minutes, there were even fewer light and heavy machine guns.

The Liaodong Army, which was lying on the mountainside, did not know this, and although the rapid artillery attack just now accidentally injured more than a dozen of its own people, none of them showed a dissatisfied expression on their faces.

Everyone has seen the firepower exposed by the Japanese army just now, and without this artillery attack, even if the two companies are wiped out, they may not be able to rush up the hill.

And with this artillery fire, it's different.

In the event that Sunset had suffered heavy losses in the shelling just now, his two companies would have been able to rush up the hill and destroy them at a very small cost.

Therefore, as soon as the shelling stopped, the Liaodong Army, which was lying on the ground, jumped up, held a rifle, and rushed to the top of the hill desperately.

After taking a full view of the battlefield situation, the Japanese wing commander hurriedly ordered: "Baga, the Liaodong Army is too cunning, they rushed up!" The troops enter the position and immediately counterattack! ”

Looking at the light and heavy machine guns that were blown up, the Japanese army could only fight back with rifles, no matter how unwilling they were.

But even so, the Japanese army's accurate marksmanship also caused a lot of losses to the Liaodong Army.

Although more than a dozen heavy machine guns provided fire cover by the Liaodong Army continued to fire bullets at the top of the hill, because the Japanese army had the advantage of terrain, the stubbornness of the fierce fire did not play much role.

Hundreds of Japanese riflemen still calmly lay on their positions, constantly firing sparse but deadly bullets at the Liaodong Army.

I couldn't watch one after another get knocked down, and I couldn't get up again.

After only a brief hesitation, the battalion commander ordered the troops to stop the attack and lie on the ground to shoot at the Japanese troops.

What the Japanese army did not know was that before the offensive began, Xu Hai had an agreement with the attacking troops and the mountain artillery battalion that as soon as the attacking troops lay on the ground, the artillery battalion would immediately cover the hill with artillery fire, and they should not be afraid of accidental injury.

Therefore, when the Japanese continued to shoot bullets at the Liaodong Army with their rifles, the screaming of shells that they least wanted to hear reached their ears again.

The Japanese soldiers, who had experienced the shelling just now, changed their faces and shouted loudly: "Baga, the Liaodong Army has started to shoot artillery again!" Hide! “

The Japanese reacted quickly, and the shells exploded faster.

The frightened Japanese soldiers were just about to rush to their individual bunkers to hide from the shelling, when violent explosions rang out around them.

Many Japanese troops were blown up by artillery shells before they could make any reaction, and even more were directly thrown high by the air wave generated by the explosion of artillery shells.

After two minutes of artillery fire, the Japanese lost more than 100 men again.

As soon as the shelling stopped, more than a dozen people were accidentally injured again, and the Liaodong Army decisively stood up from the ground, and rushed to the top of the hill with a rifle.

This time, although the Japanese army was still desperately shooting at the Liaodong Army, it could not stop the Liaodong Army's offensive at all because of the lack of troops.

After losing dozens of men in a row, the Liaodong Army finally rushed to a position less than forty meters from the top of the mountain.

At this time, both the Japanese army and the Liaodong Army threw a round of grenades at each other.

The grenade exploded, and both the Liaodong Army and the Japanese army fell a large group of people. However, because of the lack of Japanese troops, the Japanese threw fewer and fewer grenades, and soon, the hill became quiet.

The two companies, which had already lost more than half of them, rushed up the hill and fought together with the Japanese troops in the mountain.

When the Japanese troops trapped on the hill were finally about to be wiped out, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon, who had just expanded the scope of the reconnaissance, found Huang Zhongxin again.

With a solemn face, he reported: "Regiment commander, there are reinforcements behind the Japanese army!" ”

"The entire division has moved, the engineers, the heavy soldiers, and the infantry of nearly two wings are all coming towards us!"

"In addition, the Japanese troops of the other two divisions around them also began to move, as did the heavy artillery brigade. More than 100 heavy artillery pieces are advancing in the direction of the battlefield alternately in the unit! ”

Huang Zhongxin's brows furrowed and said: "Lao Xu is right, the Japanese army really plans to fight a big decisive battle with us here!" ”

After finishing speaking, Huang Zhongxin immediately ordered the reconnaissance platoon commander in front of him: "The division commander knows you, you should immediately hurry back to Liaoyang City and report all the detected situations to the division commander!" If the division commander has any orders, come back and tell me immediately. “

As soon as the reconnaissance platoon commander left, the chief of staff frowned and asked: "Regiment commander, the battle situation has been out of our control, and we don't know what we think above, in the face of the decisive battle posture put forward by the Japanese army, should we fight or not!" ”

"No matter what the commander decides, the battle in front of us must be fought, and it must be fought well!" Huang Zhongxin said with a firm face.

"If we don't fight, we must first defeat the Japanese army in front of us before we can retreat safely! If they are in battle, then they should defeat these Japanese troops. Only by defeating them will our next decisive battle be easy! ”

At this moment, the good news that the 2nd Regiment had successfully taken the hill and eliminated the remnants of the Japanese army reached Huang Zhongxin's ears.

Huang Zhongxin's eyes lit up, and he said confidently: "Great, I'm worried about how to defeat the Japanese army in front of us." Now that the Second Regiment helps, I have a way to defeat them! “

"Contact Commander Xu immediately and ask him to lead the troops to come over immediately, especially the two mountain artillery battalions, with them joining the battlefield, they will definitely be able to deal a devastating blow to the Japanese field artillery regiment!" (To be continued.) )
