Chapter 163: Bloody Battle Alone
The fierce attack forced the gathered Japanese troops to retreat and give up their positions. But the enemy at the top of the hill did not seem to intend to charge, and after a grenade bombardment, it fell silent again.
Junrokuro Matsuura walked towards the command post and ordered: "Liu Bencang's division and Li Jianting's division are pressed in the middle, and the artillery fire continues to bombard!" ”
"Hayi!"
The herald turned and left.
At this time, the two puppet Manchurian divisions were used as cannon fodder, and each had only one brigade left, and most of the troops were thrown in front of the second line. After receiving the order for the main attack, although the commanders of the two divisions were resentful, they did not dare not carry out the order and waved their troops to press.
The artillery positions that had been erected one after another began to roar, the shells gradually intensified, and the violent explosions of the boom blossomed everywhere on the hillside, so that the entire hillside was obscured by gunpowder smoke and splashes of frozen rock, and visibility was almost zero.
"Calculate all the Japanese artillery positions, you only have one round of chances!"
Dong Ku calmly ordered on the phone.
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the destruction mission! ”
The roar of all the observers came over the phone.
The Japanese shelling continued, and it was gradually intensifying, and as the position moved forward again, the shells fell on the watered area, and finally on the position.
However, the bunkers in this position were quite sturdy, and the bunkers built up by five or six layers of pine wood of more than 30 centimeters were loosened during the shelling, but they only smashed the wood on top, and the bottom was quite safe.
Inside the bunker, the fighters of the independent brigade were holding on to the firing holes, staring at the slopes filled with gunsmoke. Behind them, the Oroqen fighters who had withdrawn from their positions and some of the Northeast Army veterans, snipers and student soldiers, were waiting for support and ammunition delivery.
The shelling lasted half an hour, and the Japanese launched their first charge.
The Japanese troops, who had withdrawn from the second line of positions, howled, rushed to the positions, rushed to the hillside.
The two puppet Manchurian brigades were slow in the middle, and the Japanese troops on the left and right had rushed out more than 100 meters, and they were still strolling leisurely, with cats on their waists and guns in their hands, and leaning forward slowly.
The position was so quiet that not even a single figure could be seen. The shooting holes were so black that it was impossible to see the location in the smoke of gunfire, let alone people.
The Japanese successfully broke through the second line of defense and rushed up the hillside.
"Fight when you get closer! Let the little devil not be able to withdraw! ”
Xing Yuan held a telescope and looked at the Japanese soldiers climbing on the hillside, and gave orders without looking back.
Then, the order was quickly passed along the trench to both ends, and each veteran guarding the firing hole looked nervously at the approaching Japanese troops, waiting for the order to shoot.
"Hit!"
When the Japanese army was only fifty or sixty meters away from the position, Xing Yuan shouted.
With his order, the gunfire rang out like multiple noominoes, along the position of the central command post to both ends; All the machine guns burst out at the maximum rate of fire at this moment, and the bullets erupted from the muzzles, and in a matter of moments, they entered the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who were close at hand. Suddenly, the front of the position was covered by a blood-red mist, and pieces of Japanese soldiers were torn to pieces by bullets, and then turned into minced meat and thrown into the sky.
Such a dense barrage made it difficult for the Japanese army to advance, and at the moment when the dense gunfire rang out in front, they were stunned for less than two seconds, and they retreated down the hill one after another.
The two puppet brigades were even more exaggerated, and when they were at the foot of the mountain, they heard the sound of gunfire from above, and immediately retreated, faster than when they came, and the bullets could not catch up with them.
Looking at the middle of the road that receded like a tide, all the veterans who didn't shoot were very strange, these puppet soldiers were still rushing very fiercely yesterday, what's wrong with today?
"Artillery coverage!!"
Junrokuro Matsuura put down the binoculars. He had already seen what the position ahead was like. It was a long snake, a long snake that breathed fire around it, lying across the top of the hillside. There is no need to look for the firepower point, it is about twenty or thirty meters along, and it stretches for several kilometers.
With his order, all artillery fire was fired, and the shells whistled and covered the sky, and fell on the positions with a bang.
"Coordinates 45... 241, potency shot! ”
"Coordinates 57... 128, potency shot! ”
In the trembling of the position, pieces of shells flew towards the Japanese artillery position, and in the panic of the Japanese artillery fleeing in all directions, the explosion sounded, and an explosion point was cleaned up in the no-man's land with a diameter of dozens of meters in the ammunition explosion on the position, and the artillery parts flew around, and the barrels rolled everywhere, and in just a few seconds, the Japanese shelling stopped.
'Junrokuro Matsuura' saw that the artillery positions were all covered in gunsmoke, and that even a fool would know that even a fool had been locked up and destroyed by enemy artillery.
"Yaga!!"
Junrokuro Matsuura angrily threw off the telescope in his hand. He was annoyed by his miscalculations. He forgot that the other side was on the top of the mountain, and in a condescending situation, the range of the cannon was at least a few hundred meters farther than his side.
"Charge!!"
Junrokuro Matsuura was furious and gave the order to charge.
". Milk. Target! Or artillery cows! ”
"Well done! I'll see how you take the position when there's no artillery! ”
The soldiers guarding the shooting hole applauded.
After the shelling ended, Dong Ku did not give the order for artillery to bombard the Japanese troops all over the mountains, they did not have many shells and could not afford to waste them.
And Matsuura Junrokuro also saw that the other party's ammunition supply was obviously unable to keep up, and the order given in anger was not withdrawn.
The Japanese rushed up the hill again with howls and launched an attack on the position.
The battle ensued. Bullets rained down on the Japanese troops on the hillside, and the hillside was filled with blood and mist again.
"Grass! I want to come in from here! ”
The soldiers guarding the interface of the bombed communication trench saw the Japanese soldiers climbing up the gap in the vertical logs, and threw grenades one after another. The heavy machine guns at the entrance of the passage rang out, and the Japanese troops who were concentrated to avoid the dense fire here were crushed one after another, so that no Japanese troops approached near each passage entrance.
The Japanese army was ruthless, and the waves of charges continued, launching the charge without remembering the damage. When it was discovered that the two brigades of the puppet army were not working hard, in order to avoid mutiny on the battlefield, the two brigades were withdrawn from the battlefield, and the newly formed 16th Division, which had already arrived, took over the position of the main attack. However, although these two brigades did not die on the battlefield, it is estimated that the end of the battle will not end well.
On the battlefield, all the veterans had no fear at this time, or they had forgotten their fear in the fierce battle. The Heavy only looked at the crowded place in front of him and pulled the trigger, and nothing else was thought, and everyone was caught in a bloody fight.
One Heavy falls, and the co-Heavy takes over. The sub-gunner fell, and the loader picked up the machine gun, allowing the machine gun to continue to fire at accurate close range from the Japanese troops.
Without the suppression of artillery, the Japanese army charged desperately without fear of death, and waves of tides poured up the mountain, behind the piled up more and more corpses, gradually built a close-range position, and formed a situation of counterfire with the position above.
"!"
A veteran cursed in annoyance because of the low shooting hole, throwing two grenades in a row that could not reach the position a hundred meters away.
"Machine gun suppression! Rifle shooting!! ”
As one command after another was delivered, the strafing machine guns turned into suppressive positions of corpses with dense firepower.
Da Da ...... Da Da ......
In the rhythmic sound of machine guns, those rifles began to turn into pig's feet, and in the dense sound of gunfire, they opened fire with the Japanese troops who were close at a distance of 100 meters.
In the fierce battle here, Dong Ku stayed in front of a walkie-talkie, waiting for the results of the monitoring.
Soon, most of the Ninth Elite Division had already passed through Mishan, and the message of the attack on this side was translated.
"Oh yes! Is it finally here?! ”
Dong Ku clenched the paper in his hand, his eyes burst into light, picked up the phone and ordered: "Brigade Commander Xing holds the position alone, and will give you another round of artillery support in an hour, and you must hold it until three o'clock in the afternoon!" ”
"Yes! Sir! The independent travelers are in the position! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Xing Yuan's face was full of gunsmoke, and after receiving the order, he picked up the 38 big cover next to him and ran to the shooting hole next to the command post. The guards followed and again plunged into the battle.
In the fierce battle, time passed slowly, and the entire front of several kilometers was filled with gunsmoke, and everywhere were flying bullets and flying blood mist. At this time, both the Japanese army and the independent brigade had fallen into a blank period of fierce battle thinking, making the battle unprecedentedly fierce.
As long as the Japanese army did not launch a charge, the machine guns on the position were basically suppressed, but the level of individual shooting of the Japanese army was far higher than that of the veterans of the Northeast Army.
"Grenadier! Grenadier!! ”
Xing Yuan blasted an outcropping Japanese soldier and turned around and shouted.
Tom tom ......
The grenadiers who were transporting the ammunition heard the command, put down the action of loading the bucket in their hands, grabbed their weapons, and fired the grenade along the firing hole.
Almost flat shooting, 100 meters distance can not be aim, tom, after the black shadows flew out, the roaring explosion shattered the corpses in front of the position, and those corpses that became positions were bulldozed in an instant, so that the dense Japanese troops behind were exposed to the muzzle.
"Hit!!"
With a roar, the machine guns that were half-stagnant in all the firing holes suddenly roared, and the barrage was scattered against the exposed Japanese troops on the hillside, and the blood mist floated up, and the figures of the Japanese soldiers were torn apart by bullets in the rolling down the hillside.
The dense bullets crushed the fighting spirit of the Japanese army, and in the blood mist, they retreated down the hillside like a tide.
"All artillery obeys!"
Dong Ku took the phone and ordered steadily: "Cover the shot, clean the shells!" ”
"Cover the shot! Clean the shells! ”
"Cover the shot! Clean the cannonball......"
A personal observer repeated the order loudly, and hundreds of mortars and 92 infantry guns roared, hail all the sections at the foot of the hill and move forward like a carpet.
Everywhere the shells passed, thick smoke rose, and the sky was full of corpses and fragments of frozen soil, making the retreating Japanese troops run faster and run wildly in the direction of the limit of artillery fire.
"Whew!"
After the shelling began, the Japanese stopped shooting, and the soldiers in the position spit out a mouthful of snow-white mist, and their nervous minds instantly relaxed, and they leaned on the shooting hole with weak hands and feet, showing their fatigue.
"Cheer up!"
Xing Yuan carried the 38 big cover around the trench and shouted loudly. He knew that after this round of shelling was over, he would lead the remaining less than 3,000 veterans to fight alone for three hours until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A brief moment of relaxation meant that the rest of the battle was even more brutal.
