At a distance of twenty or thirty meters, more than 20 rifles and a light machine gun fired a salvo, plus a succession of grenades, indeed suppressed the devils on the hillside at once, and the dead and wounded of seven or eight devils who were shot rolled down the hillside.

It is worthy of the well-trained devils, as soon as the guns rang out, they did not turn around and run like the puppet army, but immediately lay down on the spot, crackling with the guns in their hands and began to shoot back, and the crooked handles of the devils were also set on the stones, suddenly shooting at the top of the mountain.

This kind of hill between the hills, are like a nest head with eye drops or round steamed buns, the slope is not very steep, the top is not narrow, with a certain arc, the side attacking from the bottom to the top of the bullet is difficult to hit the bottom of the defender, in the top of the side as long as the muzzle of the gun is slightly down, the firepower can almost cover all the moving objects on the hillside.

The devil's performance is not bad, this mountain bun is not a smooth stone mountain bag, it is a mixture of stone and soil, there are a lot of abrupt stones and stone chips on the hillside, the devil is using these temporary hiding, fighting to the death and not retreating, but he can hide from the bullets, and he can't dodge the grenades that keep flying down around and under his feet, and the casualties still increase sharply!

Fukushima Nakasa saw the stalemate of the battle situation in Yamabao, and his heart was also impatient, he was different from those middle and lower-level officers of the 36th Division, the 27th Division, and the 110th Division who fought with the Eighth Route all the year round, and this was the first time against the Eighth Road, the mixed tank search team he led was as far as he himself had fought with the Soviet Army, even if he had some combat experience, no one else had actual combat experience!

I have to admit that the Japanese soldiers fought bravely, especially the officers and soldiers who had confronted the Soviet army in the Manchurian and Mongolian garrisons for more than two years, and their morale was still very high. Also due to the propaganda of the Japanese army itself. thought that the Eighth Route Army was just a rabble. So when I was ambushed at first, I was indeed a little flustered, but the sense of superiority that the chariot unit had cultivated for a long time also quickly shook the panic, whether it was a tanker or an infantryman, they focused on the opponent!

The commander of the motorized infantry squadron was Captain Kawaguchi, and as soon as he saw that the squad that went to occupy the mountain pack was suppressed on the hillside and could not advance, he immediately led the squadron headquarters down the road to the small valley under the mountain pack and observed the terrain. The squad that pursued the Eight-Way Thunderer in that area was ordered to make a detour from the flank and attack the hill on the right.

The squadron's three 37-mm rapid-fire guns were also set up, and Kawaguchi ordered rapid-fire guns and heavy machine guns to suppress the hill on the road to cover the infantry on the hillside! At the same time, he also sent the squad that was operating with the squadron headquarters to the foot of the mountain, launched an offensive formation, and slowly moved to the top of the mountain as the second echelon of the attack.

In order to support the infantry attack, Fukushima Nakasa also ordered two Type 95 light tanks and one Type 97 medium tank to drive up the ramp, preparing to drive to the side of the two blown up tanks, and from there use tank guns to block the side and rear of the hill from the side. In support of the infantry attack, Fukushima also ordered two tracked vehicles to follow the tank upward. Go get the blown up tank and see if you can drag it down.

In fact, Fukushima's command thinking has not completely changed from the guiding theory of the Japanese army's use of tanks, and he still believes that tanks are a kind of active firepower unit used by the infantry, and the biggest role of the tank is to help the infantry clear the enemy's firepower points and break through the enemy's fortification system, and in 1943 there can still be this kind of thinking, in fact, it is very outdated! The German blitzkrieg and the Soviet-German tank battles have been fought for a long time!

If this battle is fought by the German army or the Soviet army, even if the two light tanks that opened the road are blown up and lose their mobility, the medium tanks behind should quickly clear the road and forcibly break to the top of the slope, and the trucks and tracked vehicles behind will immediately follow, so that even if the side is blocked by the eight-way fire on the platform, it can quickly pass through the road of Heiyaogou by virtue of the advantage of firepower.

In fact, these two hill packs are a threat to the devil's infantry, the straight line is less than five hundred meters away from the road, and the machine gun fire can block the road, but for tanks, there are no weapons such as anti-tank guns, and these two hill packs have no defensive advantage at all! Fukushima did not give full play to the protection and mobility of the tank, but used it as a fixed gun position to support the infantry to launch an attack on the two hills.

Thanks to the fact that Fukushima Nakasa was still a participant in the battle between Japan and Japan, he was fortunate enough to be a member of an independent tank regiment that successfully launched a tank sneak attack on the Soviet army! Nothing has grown at all! With such a tank, no matter how big it is in this kind of mountainous terrain, it is also an ornament!

After the three tanks drove to the side of the blown up tank, they immediately turned the turret, adjusted the muzzle, and used grenades to bombard the side and rear of the mountain bag that was fighting fiercely, and at this moment the tanks and rapid-fire guns on the mountainside also completed several rounds of fire preparation on the mountain bag, and Captain Kawaguchi in the valley gave the order, and the two echelons attacked the top of the mountain with all their might!

Under the cover of machine guns, the Japanese soldiers who were hiding behind rocks and bushes, in twos and threes, quickly maneuvered towards the top of the mountain, and the soldiers of the fourth platoon of the reconnaissance company continued to return fire regardless of the shells that were constantly exploding in front of and behind them and the bullets of the devil machine guns flying up like locusts!

The Heavy had just run out of magazines, and the ammunition man was changing the magazine when a rapid-fire gun shell exploded on the edge of the machine gun emplacement! The machine gunner subconsciously held the machine gun in his arms, and the shrapnel and dirt and gravel from the explosion of the shell did not touch the machine gun, but knocked down this simple mountain man in the Wolf's Tooth Mountain!

As soon as the machine gun paused like this, the devils who were climbing the slope to attack obviously sped up! The co-shooter rushed over and touched the machine gunner's nose, only a faint breath came in and out, and he didn't care about the wounds there, snatched the machine gun from the machine gunner's arms, put the machine gun on the edge of the fortification in a half-crouch position, and ran out of bullets in a magazine in one go!

Just when he wanted to crouch down to ask for the magazine, he shouted twice and no one answered, and when he turned his head, he saw that the secondary shooter was also lying crooked in the trench, his face was covered with blood, and he didn't know whether he was hit by a bullet or a shell skin!

I don't care if I'm still alive or not, I reached for the magazines on the tactical strap of the deputy shooter, and when it was emptied, it was empty! When I looked down, there were seven or eight empty magazines scattered around the machine gun position! After the death of the ammunition man, there is no one to reload the machine gun magazine!

As soon as the machine gun was dumb, the devil was about ten meters away from reaching the top of the mountain under the cover of tank guns and machine guns! After throwing a grenade, the four platoon commanders jumped out of the trench and waved their hands vigorously to the left and right, all of whom understood what it meant! More than 20 fighters who were still alive and able to move rushed down with white and bright bayonets!

The shovel monkey lay on the edge of the platform, and it was clear that the soldiers of the four rows had rushed down to the top of the mountain, and were in a scuffle with the devils who rushed up, bayonet to bayonet, dusty, and only the tip of the bayonet could be faintly seen occasionally shining in the westward sun.

All the artillery and machine guns of the devil on the mountainside have stopped firing, and the two sides have fought a white-knuckle battle, and it is easy to accidentally injure their own people if they open fire again, only the three newly opened tanks next to the blown up tank, the machine guns are still strafing the side of the top of the mountain bun, and the other team of the devil who came over there has almost arrived at the earthen beam connecting the platform and the mountain bag!

"Blow the trumpet!" The shovel monkey turned his head and told the trumpeter that the brass trumpet sounded very loud in the valley! Three mortars hidden in the preset positions were the first to speak! The three tanks on the highway that hit first with three rapid fires and the tracked vehicle that was busy towing the blown up tank down the mountain! Nine shells covered the entire road in an instant, and the smoke and dust wrapped the tanks and tracked vehicles at once!

The tanks, which had lost their line of sight, stopped firing in an instant, and at this moment, the second platoon rushed up to the earthen beams from the anti-artillery holes in the ravine as fast as lightning, and machine guns, rifles, and grenades smashed into the devils who were roundabout like hail! And the third row rushed onto the mountain bag that was fighting fiercely, and rushed to the back of the devils from the side! (To be continued......)
