Chapter 630: The Price of Arrogance (Ask for Subscription!) ）

Ten minutes later, while the soldiers were waiting, they were stationed in the middle of the Japanese squadron at the foot of the mountain. More than a dozen unlucky xiǎo devils, led by a military cao, reluctantly walked out of the queue. Then, with the bayonet in his hand, Tǐng slowly marched up towards the hilltop position in a loose formation, like a cunning fox.

When you see it in front of you, it's almost a féiròu that comes to your mouth. The company commander, who was lying on the top of the mountain and was observing the enemy situation under the mountain, immediately sneered at the corner of his mouth. He commanded to the platoon leader beside him.

"Captain Luo, these dozen xiǎo devils are in a row for you. Remember, you can only use a rifle, and don't let me go. ”

"The company commander can rest assured, a platoon is guaranteed to complete the task..."Looking at the dozen or so xiǎo devils at the foot of the mountain, the platoon commander said with his eyes shining as if he had seen a dozen gold ingots.

The final result was no surprise, when a dozen cautious xiǎo devils, with confidence, rushed to the position only thirty meters away.

"Bang bang bang..."

A neat platoon of guns broke the silence of the battlefield and announced the beginning of the entire blocking battle. At the same time, a dozen xiǎo devils who are as cunning as foxes. Before they could react, the soldiers fell in a pool of blood in the first round of guns.

More than a dozen xiǎo devils, before they had time to shè out of the chamber of the gun, were wiped out by all of them. On the top of the mountain, the faces of more than a hundred warriors immediately appeared with a smile of victory. Even a few recruit fighters with fearful expressions on their faces before the battle were gradually shrouded in self-confidence at this moment.

Compared with the self-confidence of the soldiers on the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, the squadron leader of the xiǎo devil did not feel any sadness because of the death of more than a dozen soldiers. Instead, lù put on a confident smile.

In the words of the captain squadron leader of the Japanese army, at the cost of the death of a dozen soldiers, let yourself clearly know the firepower of the defending troops opposite. This kind of deal, no matter how you calculate it, is very cost-effective.

Because, in the heart of the arrogant squadron leader. In the face of the attack of the Imperial Japanese Army, there is no such thing as hiding firepower. And in the gunfire just now, except for the rifle, there was not even a single tǐng machine gun. This gave the Japanese squadron leader a good illusion: the position in front of him must be the outpost position of the Eighth Route Army, and it was not equipped with any heavy weapons. As long as you charge with a group, the position of the Eighth Route Army in front of you will definitely be easily trampled under your feet.

So, the three infantry teams, under the command of the squadron leader, set out together. Lined up in three straggler lines more than 50 meters apart, slowly pressed towards the position of the company at the top of the hill.

"Boom, boom, boom...", an explosion sounded on the hilltop position. The violent explosion instantly woke the moving warriors from the victory they had just won.

"Company commander, the xiǎo devil has begun to attack..."The voice of the platoon commander who was in charge of observing the enemy situation followed and reached the ears of the company commander. Raising the telescope in his hand, it was dense, like layers of yellow sèlàngcháo devil soldiers, appearing in the eyes of the company commander.

However, in the face of the group's charge on the size of the Japanese squadron, although in the hands of the company commander, there was only one company of troops. However, with seven tǐng crooked handle light machine guns and three mén grenadiers, he did not have any fear on his face, but a hint of leaping and trying.

"Okay, it seems that we have just concealed heavy fire, and we have achieved the effect of paralyzing the enemy. Orders, no one is allowed to fire in advance without my orders. All riflemen, prepare grenades and use grenades to eliminate the xiǎo devils of the first skirmisher. All light machine guns and grenades exploded, and immediately opened fire, responsible for eliminating the xiǎo devils on the second skirmisher. Grenadier squad, don't save shells for me, and blow up the xiǎo devils on the third skirmisher line. All of them, ready for battle. The company commander ordered confidently.

A few minutes later, the sound of violent grenade explosions, dense machine-gun sweeps, and grenade explosions began to sound on the small hilltop. In an instant, the Japanese army's skirmish line, which stretched more than 100 meters long and more than 40 meters wide, was enveloped in thick gunsmoke.

Looking at the sudden and violent blow in front of him, the Japanese squadron leader who was at the end of the unit immediately stayed where he was, stunned by the scene in front of him. When the screams of his subordinate soldiers reached his ears. The squadron leader reacted from the shock, almost in his own heart-rending voice, and roared loudly. "Eight Ge Yalu, we were fooled. Quickly, the troops will immediately retreat, the grenadiers will cover, and the troops will immediately retreat..."

Still, his order was too late. Under his watchful gaze, the remnants of the soldiers with panicked faces finally appeared within the scope of his career. However, what made him desperate was that a fully formed squadron, with only forty soldiers left in the retreat, not even a single Xiǎo team.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the squadron leader fell to the ground all of a sudden, and a mouthful of blood gushed out. Passed out to the ground. Then, under the rescue of the deputy captain, he slowly opened his eyes and said.

"Suzuki-kun, immediately ask the main force of the division for tactical guidance, and the troops will organize a defense on the spot to prevent the Shina people from counterattacking. Okay, from now on, the troops will be in command for you. I would like to conclude by apologizing to His Majesty the Emperor as a soldier. Even if you die, you will die on the battlefield. ”

"Hai, Your Excellency Squadron Leader take care..."

More than half a dozen hours passed quickly, and under the cover of favorable terrain, all the weapons and ammunition scattered by the Japanese troops in front of the position were looted by the soldiers and moved back to their positions. Just when the two company commanders and instructors were excitedly discussing the results that the troops had just achieved. The main force of the Japanese division appeared at the foot of the mountain.

"Not good, company commander, the main force of the Japanese army has arrived." Looking at the Xiǎo devils who appeared in front of him in a steady stream and had begun to build artillery positions at the foot of the mountain. Even the instructor couldn't help but exclaim.

"There are still twenty minutes before the retreat time set by the regimental headquarters. As long as we succeed in repelling a Japanese attack, we can retreat. Order the troops, prepare for anti-artillery. Later, after the xiǎo devils rushed up, all the machine guns opened fire on me, and with dense firepower, a large number of the xiǎo devils' living forces were killed and wounded, and their attacks were repelled. The company commander ordered decisively.

"Woooooo Boom, boom, boom..."As soon as the company commander's words fell, a sharp whistling sound reached everyone's ears. Immediately after, a violent explosion sounded in my ears. The huge heat generated by the explosion of the cannonball immediately rushed to the face, and the sand and soil that were blown up hit the soldiers hard.

The artillery group, composed of six Mén infantry artillery mountain guns, faced the small hill and carried out an artillery bombardment for ten minutes before it was unwilling to stop. Then, the strength of a squadron, under the cover of a few tǐng heavy machine guns behind them, lined up in a Japanese standard offensive formation, slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"Phew... Dog day xiǎo devil, I let you be arrogant, today, I will let you taste our awesomeness. Is there anything alive, all the living are up for me, ready to meet the enemy...", patted the clods scattered around his body. The company commander picked up a light machine gun with a crooked handle and quickly set it up on the edge of the trench. The bullet was loaded and shouted loudly at the soldiers around him who were buried in the trenches with a large amount of dirt.

In the midst of their own roars, one by one, the grizzled warriors rose from the trenches. In the end, a full company of 150 men, after just ten minutes of heavy shelling, was left with a hundred men. Led by himself, he quickly lay down in the trench, ready to fire at any time.

"Comrades, give me a hard beating... "Just when there were more than a hundred xiǎo devils, there were only fifty meters left from the position. A dense sweep sound sounded on the hill. Immediately afterwards, the company was equipped with seven tǐng crooked handles, plus five tǐng that had just been captured. A total of 12 tǐng crooked handles, and at the same time, at the same time, at the devil soldiers in front of him, spewed out hot tongues of fire.

In the rain of bullets, the xiǎo devil who rushed to the front, like cutting wheat, was cut to the ground by more than a dozen tongues of fire. In just an instant, a squadron of xiǎo devils fell almost half of their troops.

Faced with more than half of the casualties of the troops, facing the impenetrable rain of bullets overhead. The leader of the Japanese squadron who led the team did not hesitate. After dodging the first round of sweeps from the warriors, he immediately gave the order to his subordinates to retreat.

In this way, the new round of Japanese attack lasted less than a few minutes, under the sweep shè of dozens of machine guns, not counting the consumption of bullets. Leaving behind pieces of corpses, he withdrew in embarrassment.

When the Japanese army safely withdrew from the battlefield, the second round of retaliatory artillery fire came to the hilltop position again. The first company, which successfully completed the mission, had safely withdrawn from the position with the remains of the wounded and comrades-in-arms. And just after the second charge of the Japanese army successfully occupied the hilltop position. Only then did they realize that their retaliatory shelling had hit an empty position. , occupying the hilltop position, the Japanese commander vented his anger on the top of the mountain, a tree trunk that was cut off by the waist. Immediately ordered the strength of a squadron to organize a defense on the spot. Then, with the rest of the troops, under the cover of artillery fire, to the second hill in front of the main position, continue the attack.

However, what the xiǎo devils didn't expect was that it was because of their carelessness that they didn't find out that there was a main regiment hidden at the back of the hilltop position, with more than 2,000 soldiers. And it was more than 2,000 fighters who, in the subsequent counterattack, inflicted indelible losses on the Japanese army.

Of course, that's all for later.

The troops defending on the second hill were also the strength of a company. Under the constant shelling of the Japanese army's six-mén artillery, the soldiers who only built simple fortifications can be said to have suffered enough. However, with the sufficient light firepower of the infantry of the troops, it still stubbornly blocked the repeated attacks of a large group of Japanese troops.

In the end, after a xiǎo hour, the company, which had already suffered more than half of the casualties, quickly withdrew from the position with the remains of its comrades. Leaving an empty dàngdàng mountain to xiǎo devils.

"Yo Xi, the first team played very well. In less than two hours, we successfully advanced our front to the main position of the Eighth Route Army. It seems that before dark tonight, the main force of the division will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in front of it. In the rear of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Fukuda, the commander of the Japanese division, who had been watching the battle, nodded with satisfaction and said confidently.

"Hai, Your Excellency Division Commander, however, after two battles, our 1st Brigade has already paid the price of more than half of the casualties. He thought that in the next offensive, we should immediately adjust the attacking forces. The Chief of Staff replied approvingly.

"Yo Xi, order the 2nd Infantry Brigade, to take over from the 1st Infantry Brigade, and continue the attack. Before dark, we must break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army and take down the entire Quartet Camel. Lieutenant General Fukuda ordered decisively.

Immediately, a new infantry brigade, nearly a thousand Xiǎo devils, immediately appeared in front of the first trench of the Sifang Hump blocking position, ready to attack.

Heavy artillery shelling, dense machine-gun sweeps, and then the infantry attacked. This infantry brigade, also without any ideas, picked up the three-plate axe commonly used in the Japanese offensive and began to slash at the first trench with axe by axe.

However, just when the first axe of the xiǎo devil had just been shot, it was destined that his axe would not have any effect. A reinforced company hidden in the first trench, more than a hundred soldiers, except for a few observation posts, the rest of the fighters had all been drilled into the anti-aircraft dòng several meters deep.

As a result, the fierce artillery bombardment launched by the Japanese army using hundreds of large-caliber artillery shells did not play any role in killing the enemy except for destroying many trenches. Immediately after that, the second and third axes of the Japanese army slashed at the top of the soldiers' heads.

However, under the condition that the deployment of division commander Li Yuanqing was strictly followed, the firepower was lightly equipped in the front, in the rear, and the personnel was light in the front and heavy in the rear. The defending troops in the first trench had only one reinforced company of more than 200 men. However, it was fully equipped with nearly twenty tǐng of light and heavy machine guns and a platoon of mortars with heavy firepower.

Under the frantic sweep of twenty tǐng light and heavy machine guns, more than a hundred xiǎo devils attacked in the first round. Not only did he not get any bargains, but he left nearly 100 corpses behind and retreated in embarrassment.

"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army, is actually equipped with so many light and heavy machine guns. I want to retaliate, order the artillery, immediately carry out artillery bombardment, and raze the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side to the ground for me, quickly..."I saw nearly 100 corpses left in front of the position because I underestimated the enemy. The captain couldn't help but curse and ordered loudly.

A few minutes later, the sound of roaring shells and explosions sounded again in the opposite position. Perhaps the captain wanted to vent the anger in his heart, and the whole shelling lasted for twenty minutes before stopping.

Immediately after, the captain of the Japanese army, who was ready to make a desperate bet, sent out all the three infantry squadrons under his command. Prepare to take down the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side that has been bombed into a 'ruin' by itself.

Looking at the dense Xiǎo devils in front of him, he saw the reinforced company around him that had paid for the casualties of more than a dozen soldiers. The commander of the third company, who was sticking to the position, immediately had a happy face. , imagining the twenty tǐng light and heavy machine guns in his hands, together with dozens of mén grenadier mortars that had just not fired, could produce huge results after firing at such a dense line of Japanese troops. The corners of the company commander's mouth immediately let out a sneer, and he ordered loudly to several platoon commanders beside him.

"Mortar platoon, responsible for suppressing enemy heavy machine gun fire, grenadiers, suppressing enemy grenadiers. All light and heavy machine guns, rifles, against the Xiǎo devil infantry. Let the xiǎo devil on the other side also taste it, what is the taste of being beaten..."

"Yes, company commander, just look at it. It is guaranteed that these dog-day xiǎo devils will have no return. A heavy machine gunner next to him replied confidently.

At a distance of fifty meters, it was when the dense Japanese troops, under the orders of commanders at all levels, accelerated their pace and prepared to make the final charge. The company commander's "hit" made the densely packed and rapidly advancing xiǎo devils completely freeze at a distance of fifty meters, unable to move.

The explosion of artillery shells, the sound of machine guns, immediately rushed to the entire battlefield. Twenty scorching tongues of fire, like a sickle dedicated to harvesting life, swept the xiǎo devils who charged at the forefront to the ground in pieces.

As for the rear of the Japanese army, more than a dozen tǐng heavy machine guns served as cover. Before he could make any reaction, he was directly destroyed by four cannonballs that came from the roar. In the face of mortar shells that could fall on their heads at any time, the remaining six tǐng heavy machine guns of the Japanese army could no longer care about the soldiers on the front line and were being tortured under the dense fire net. Raise a tǐngtǐng heavy machine gun and quickly move to safety.

Without the cover of the heavy machine guns behind him, three infantry brigades and more than 500 devil soldiers. Just like a flat boat in the big làng, the huge lànghuā composed of twenty tongues of fire on the position was flapped on it, consuming his strength little by little, but there was no room for him to fight back.

Finally, in front of the position, the faces of the devil soldiers showed despair one after another, waiting for the time when death came to them. The retreat cry like a stimulant pulled these xiǎo devils back to reality.

Then, no longer caring about the formation of each other covering each other's retreat, regardless of the dense rain of bullets behind him, like a frightened rabbit, he quickly ran towards the rear.
