Chapter 299: Bitter Battle

Boom, on the defensive positions of the Magical First Battalion on the slope of the mountain, almost every position was hit by several shells at the same time. At the same time, with the cover of artillery fire, hundreds of soldiers of the 3rd Division quickly rushed to the trenches.

And the soldiers of the magical battalion and company could only kill from the anti-artillery holes, using box guns and sapper shovels to engage with hundreds of soldiers of the third division.

Because the soldiers of the first company generally had a box cannon and a sapper shovel, and they were fighting in a narrow tunnel, even if the soldiers of the first company were far fewer than the soldiers of the third division, they still had the upper hand.

And where are the recruits of the third division who are the opponents of the veterans of the first company, even if they are several times the veterans of the first company, but they are quickly driven out of the tunnel by the veterans of the first company.

Commander Wei Lihuang, who was far away from the mountain, saw all this clearly from the binoculars, and a fierce smile appeared on his lips, only to see him gesturing to the herald beside him.

There was a loud bang, and there was silence in front of the position halfway up the hill, and hundreds of soldiers of the 3rd Division and more than 100 soldiers of the Magical First Battalion who defended were either killed or wounded.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, Company Commander Wang Zehui of the Second Company of the First Battalion of the Magical Battalion immediately rushed from the anti-artillery hole on the mountain to the position halfway up the mountain, only to see that all the soldiers of the first company fell in a pool of blood.

When Wang Zehui pushed away the bodies of the two soldiers of the first company, he finally found Wang Dong, the commander of the first company who had been stunned, and everyone touched Wang Dong's snort and found that he was not dead.

At the same time, he was briefly examined and found that he had not been injured by any explosion, which was a miracle. Wang Zehui immediately led the soldiers of the second company to clean up the battlefield.

I saw that the soldiers of the second company dragged the corpses of the soldiers of the first battalion into several large air-raid shelters and put them away, and then threw the corpses of the enemy from the tunnels to the front of the position.

Wang Zehui himself led the soldiers of the second company to take over the defense of the first company, and the commander of the second company looked at the steel teeth of the 14th Army under the mountain: "Wei Lihuang, you are a king-bastard, you wait for Lao Tzu to clean you up." ”

At this time, at the temporary command post of the 14th Army under the mountain, all the division commanders were patting Wei Lihuang's sycophants: "The military seat is high, just sacrificing hundreds of recruits and killing more than 100 veterans of the novelty battalion, if we do this a few more times, I think they will be a magical battalion." ”

The words of the first division commander attracted the unanimous approval of the generals present, and they did not notice that the third division commander looked at everyone with a blue face, and he scolded in his heart: "It's really a beast, and even his own people are blown up." It is not your own brothers who are complacent in coming up with such an immoral idea, and it is not your own brothers who are dying of affection. ”

Wei Lihuang was also very happy about this result: "The magical battalion on the opposite side, the trenches are dug too well, and they have a lot of light and heavy machine guns, if we don't lure them out, it will be difficult for us to effectively kill and injure them, because the generals can't have the kindness of women."

In the past few days, we have several thousand soldiers who have fallen in front of the enemy. We can't afford to give them a chance to kill and wound our soldiers in large numbers, and we may have a bad battle to fight at the beach.

Moreover, the three divisions of this victory are the greatest heroes, because their three divisions lived up to their expectations and attacked the position with only a few hundred men, which can create a record for us to annihilate one company of the enemy in one fell swoop.

They had only three companies in their battalion, and we attacked them twice in this way, and naturally we were able to defeat them. Therefore, the next two waves will have to trouble the commander of the third division to worry a lot, but I can't give up your hundreds of recruits. ”

The commander of the third division scolded the general of the 14th Army in front of him in his heart, but on the surface, he could only nod and agree: "Please rest assured, my subordinates will do their best to complete the task assigned to me by the military seat." Not to mention a few hundred recruits, even if the whole division was killed, we have no regrets. ”

The Third Division had to say it very beautifully, there was no way, who made them a ragtag army that had just been co-opted? As for why he didn't disobey Wei Lihuang's military order when he saw his brother let others be killed?

Forget it, the dead friends don't die in the poor way. Anyway, there is still a team of more than 10,000 people, and it is not bad to die another 1,800 people. The third division commander also wants to open it anyway, as long as he doesn't die, what do you care about the life and death of those big-headed soldiers.

The commander of the 3rd Division immediately went to consolidate the troops, he called them on the spot, and the fighters of another battalion were forcibly pushed forward to attack. The battalion commander who was named knelt down on the spot, crying and shouting:

"Teacher, can you give the brothers a way to live? We can die at the hands of the enemy, and for the sake of our colleagues, please don't bombard your own people with artillery.

If you are killed by the enemy with a gun, you can still get a whole corpse, if you are killed by your own artillery, whether you can keep a whole corpse depends on your own luck, once you are unlucky, it will be a fragmented end. The words of the battalion commander aroused the unanimous approval of the soldiers of the whole battalion.

Looking at the indignation on the faces of the soldiers of a battalion in front of him, the commander of the third division was also helpless, he could only say that the enemy's strength was seriously insufficient, as long as he rushed forward, maybe the enemy himself would flee first?

The soldiers cursed in their hearts the commander of the third division in front of them, when the magical battalion was at its worst, the Japanese fought the entire position with less than ten people, didn't they escape?

Now there are at least more than 200 veterans in the family, and if they want to eliminate more than 200 veterans, how many more people will have to die in their third division to fill this big hole.

It's a pity that the military order is difficult to disobey, and the overseer team is watching behind everyone, and there is no other way but to rush forward. The battalion commander took out his pistol and shouted with great grief and indignation: "People die and birds rise to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years, brothers, rush!" ”

I saw that the battalion commander led hundreds of people to charge in front of the position of the second company. Wei Lihuang at the foot of the mountain saw that this battalion was good, it was all at this time, and he still had the courage to launch a group charge, although it was very unwise, but his courage was commendable.

Just when Wei Lihuang was still admiring the bravery of this battalion commander, he only heard more than 100 guns fired on the slope of the mountain, and then he saw that all the hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Third Division were lying down, and everyone was lying on the ground one by one, just not moving. There was no one who crawled forward.

A few of the overseers stepped forward to catch up with the attack, but before they could get to the side of the soldiers, they were knocked down by a shot from the snipers of the second company.

So an incredible scene occurred on the battlefield, hundreds of soldiers of the Third Division lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, no matter who ordered it, they would not get up to attack, and the second company in the middle of the hill as long as you did not move around, I would not shoot, just like this, watching the enemy pretending to be dead on the ground.

Wei Lihuang put down the binoculars in his hand and was so angry that his teeth itched, and he once again ordered the third division to go up to another battalion to attack. As a result, this battalion, like the previous battalion, also rushed to the halfway slope with high spirits, and then as soon as the guns of the second company rang out, they all lay down and pretended to be dead.

This can make Wei Lihuang angry, what kind of soldier is this? Is this the Nineteenth Route Army that can fight well? Wei Lihuang watched as a Warden climbed behind a soldier and asked the soldier to get up to fight, and the soldier simply shook off the Warden's hand, as if to say, "Don't touch me, I'm dead." ”

And when the Overseer took out his pistol and tried to threaten the soldier, a cold shot suddenly came from the fortifications halfway up the hillside, and the overseer opened his head with a single shot.

The officers and soldiers of the 3rd Division, who were supported by the soldiers of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion, did not want to get up and attack, anyway, they would die if they attacked, and they might survive if they did not attack. I'm just lying here and pretending to be dead, so love.

Seeing the performance of the Third Division in such a sloppy manner, Wei Lihuang was so angry that he slapped the commander of the Third Division three times in a row: "Look at it, what kind of soldier are you bringing?" ”

The third division commander felt that he was really wronged, "You have chilled the hearts of the brothers, why do you have to rely on me?" The third division commander covered his swollen face and said unconvinced in his heart.

When Wei Lihuang saw this scene, he knew that the three divisions could not be counted on, so he immediately dispatched the first division again, pulled out a battalion again, and while driving the two battalions of the third division to attack, he began to attack the position of the second company. However, this time the position of the second company was not easy to attack. Even dozens of small cannons under the mountain are constantly attacking.

It turned out that Wang Zehui, the commander of the second company, was worthy of being the most scheming company commander of the Magical First Battalion, and he placed the corpses of the soldiers of the Third Division around him and formed a small circle. Unless the shells exploded directly into his fortifications, the shrapnel scattered in all directions did not want to hurt him.

And the fighters of the second company were not embarrassed by the corpses of the enemy. Some fighters simply let their comrades carry two corpses and press them on themselves.

This is good, the soldiers of the second company are protected by human sandbags, and there are few casualties, and this time the commander of the second company borrowed dozens of machine guns from Jin Sanpang, and he can't survive anyway, and the bullets don't need to be as energetic as money.

Such dense firepower could not even lift the head of the attacking troops of the three battalions of the 14th Army. From now on, the battle moves into the traditional battle.

The traditional attack warfare not only competes with the terrain and firepower of the two warring sides, but also competes with the fighting will of the soldiers on both sides.

The 14th Army on the attacking side had a large number of people and artillery support, but after all, most of them were new recruits, and the soldiers of the 1st and 3rd divisions were not of the same mind.

Therefore, although their numbers were ten times that of the defenders, the two sides fought for half an hour, and under the attack of dozens of machine guns of the second company, and under the occasional accidental wounds of their own artillery fire, the two battalions of the third division were the first to collapse.

They threw down the soldiers of the first division and all the weapons and equipment and fled frantically down the mountain, and even broke the offensive formation of the first division, and as a result, the battalion of the first division could only retreat.

When the three battalions lost nearly half of their men and horses before fleeing back to the garrison of the 14th Army, Wei Lihuang shot all three battalion commanders on the spot.

At the same time, he once again sent the 1st Division to organize a regiment of troops to start attacking the defensive position of the 1st Battalion in turn, because the troops of the 1st Division were actually Wei Lihuang's descendants, so they were well-equipped, not to mention the combat quality of the soldiers, which was far greater than that of the 3rd Division.

Therefore, from the morning to noon, although the position has not yet been breached, the Magical Battalion has only a team of less than a hundred people at this time.
