In the face of the anger of the brigade commander, none of the seven or eight officers next to him answered.
The vanguard squad was wiped out, and even the battlefield was cleaned and destroyed by the enemy. Just by observing from a distance, these officers, no matter how capable they were, could not see what had just happened.
After a full minute, the wing commander standing next to the brigade commander reminded in a low voice: "Brigade commander, we don't know anything about the enemy in front of us, do you think we should test the opponent's strength and firepower, and then send a team to attack." β
"Baga, are you confused, if the enemy can easily destroy one of our infantry squads, then he has the ability to inflict heavy damage on our tentative offensive troops. If you go up to an infantry squad, wouldn't that add to the enemy's combat exploits? The brigade commander frowned, and shouted against the wing commander while scolding.
Seeing that his subordinates lowered their heads again and did not speak, the brigade commander's eyes quickly shot out two sharp glances, and then decisively ordered: "Order the mortar squadron of the first brigade to open fire immediately, no matter what the strength of the enemy in front of them is, as long as they are still flesh and blood, they will be afraid of shells." Let the mortars blow up at the enemy position and kill all the enemies on the position. β
As soon as a staff officer left to give the order, the brigade commander followed and ordered: "The first squadron of the 1st Brigade is ready to attack, and as soon as the five-minute shelling is over, the attack will begin immediately, take the enemy's position, and kill them all." β
As soon as the condescending company of recruits saw that the Japanese were beginning to assume mortars, they began to retreat, and a veteran with four or five recruits retreated along the communication trenches behind the trenches into the woods behind.
So, when the shells fired from the devil's mortar hit the position, there was not a single soldier alive in the position.
At the end of the shelling, the devils, who had already touched more than 100 meters away, quickly went to the position under the cover of several heavy machine guns behind them.
In this process, in addition to the light and heavy machine guns constantly providing fire cover for the infantry, the six grenadiers that accompanied the attack were not idle, and fired grenades at the position one after another.
"It is worthy of the elite of the main force of the Japanese army, artillery, infantry, and grenadier soldiers, who are so skillful in cooperating. Not surprisingly, our troops will suffer a big loss this time! The first battalion commander Han Yu's brows furrowed, and he subconsciously sighed.
As he spoke, the company of recruits hiding in the woods behind them also began to rush to the position that was close at hand.
Although they had traffic trenches for cover, there was no way to stop the grenades falling from the sky.
Therefore, by the time more than 100 people arrived at the position, the first company of recruits had already lost more than a dozen troops. What's more, the devil has already killed fifty or sixty meters in front of the formation, and it only takes more than ten seconds for the devil with a rifle to enter the position.
In this case, more than 20 veterans of the recruit company immediately reacted, while ordering the heavy machine gunners to counterattack and suppress the offensive firepower of the devils. γγWhile asking the remaining riflemen to prepare grenades, wait for the devil to rush forward another ten meters, and then use the condescending terrain advantage to blow the devil back with grenades.
Soon, dozens of grenades emitting white smoke smashed into the middle of the devil's attacking troops and exploded, and dozens of devils were caught off guard and directly blown over. After a round of grenades, the recruit company did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and continued to throw grenades at the devil.
The rain of grenades falling from the sky caused a lot of damage to the devils, because they didn't expect the defenders to use this trick, and the devils of a squadron actually gathered together to attack, and this gave the grenades a great opportunity to kill them in large numbers.
In this case, the devils who are still alive also want to fight back with grenades.
But because they were below, the grenades thrown by the recruit company could easily hit them, but the grenades they threw out smashed on the ground and exploded before they flew above the position, not only did not cause damage to the recruit company, but also blew up a thick smoke in front of the recruit company's position, blocking the figure of the recruit company, and in turn helping the recruit company.
The squadron leader, who rushed to the end, saw that his men were blown up and there was not much left, and he immediately realized that he had lost the attack. If you continue to hold on, as long as the defenders have enough grenades, these grenades alone can blow up one of your own squadrons.
In order to leave a little seed for his squadron, the squadron leader decisively gave the order to retreat.
With less than thirty riflemen in the squadron, he retreated with a disarray.
The commander of the Japanese brigade did not react from the shock until this time, because the whole battle was too fast from start to finish.
When the dense attacking troops of one of their own squadrons were about to enter the opponent's position, they did not expect that the other party would actually bring three rounds of grenade rain to themselves, and it was these three rounds of grenade rain that blew up one of their own squadrons at once.
As soon as the attacking troops retreated, the face of the brigade commander, who had reacted from the shock, was enveloped in anger, and a pair of eyes shot out as if they could kill, which was very fierce.
Then before the subordinates next to him could speak, he roared loudly: "Eight Grid Yalu, the enemy is too cunning!" β
"Order the mortar squadron, open fire immediately, blow up all the North Koreans on the position, without my order, the shelling cannot be stopped, I want to take revenge and avenge the warriors who died in the battle."
Looking at the devils who retreated in embarrassment, the first reaction of the seventy or eighty people left in the recruit company was to be happy, screaming to vent their inner excitement and excitement.
However, the sudden screaming of shells instantly made the faces of dozens of veterans turn pale in an instant.
"It's not good, the little devil has started shelling, quickly retreat to the back." The veterans who reacted quickly immediately called for the recruits around them who had not yet reacted to retreat.
But the shelling of the devils came too quickly, and despite the quick reaction of the veterans, almost half of the soldiers were still covered by artillery fire.
The veteran was a little better, and subconsciously lay in the trench with his head in his hands.
But the recruits were not so lucky, and before they could react to the reminders of the veterans, the violently exploding shells had blown them away.
Coupled with the fact that the rate of fire of the mortars was too fast, two or three seconds after the end of one round of explosions, a new round of shells with a screeching sound flew over and smashed on the ground and exploded.
As a result, the dozens of people who were left behind in the positions could only hide in the trenches and pray that the shells would not fall on their side and that the shelling would end soon.
Despite the fact that the hillside position defended by the recruit company was not large, the angry brigade commander still shelled for ten minutes before stopping.
Then a new infantry squadron rushed up under heavy machine-gun cover.
This time the devils learned to be obedient, and only one of the three squads attacked from the front, and more than fifty devils were scattered. As for the remaining two squads, each under the cover of two heavy machine guns, they made a detour to the mountainside position, which could not only disperse the firepower and strength of the defenders, but also surround the mountainside position, and completely annihilate the recruit company in one fell swoop.
