Chapter 126: Opportunity

The smoke of gunfire on the Lion Gate continued, and a total of more than 2,800 devils launched an attack under the supervision of Iida Masao.

Mortar fire sounded again, followed by the sound of grenades breaking through the air. The sound of "empty" and "shouting" was endless, but this time, there were no stupid "bandits" waiting to be bombed anymore.

Listen to the sound to determine the flight trajectory of the grenade, and then either lie still on your stomach, or hurry up to make a leap, regardless of whether there are rocks in front of you that may hurt you. The mortar squadron of the 213th Wing shelled the defenders on the top of the hill for about five minutes, resulting in only a dozen casualties for the third brigade and one regiment.

Five minutes later, as the Japanese approached the top of the mountain, the grenades moved down the mountain. Since Iida concluded that the defenders had fled, he naturally wanted to inflict some casualties on the fleeing enemy troops with mortars. The trainees of the 2nd and 3rd regiments who were hidden there had already absorbed the lessons of the first regiment, and they hid behind stones and trees one by one, and endured the aimless shelling of the Japanese mortars without danger.

After the battle just now, the psychological endurance of the students on the mountain has increased a lot. After the devil's shelling ran away and shifted the target, except for those medical soldiers running around to care for the wounded, the others lay quietly on their stomachs, waiting for the order to fire.

Chang Ning had the heart to learn this positional warfare style from Zhang Quanyou, he lay behind Zhang Quanyou, silently watching his every move, and as he could hear the sound of the little devil's suede shoes rubbing against the rocks, he also admired Zhang Quanyou, a scholar, more and more.

Zhang Quanyou leaned his back against a rock, his back to the devil down the mountain, just engrossed in wiping the assault rifle he had taken from a student soldier who had died in battle. His expression didn't show any fluctuations, this calmness and calmness, not like on the battlefield, but as if he was in his own yard.

Zhang Quanyou usually talks very little, when Chang Ning used to talk to people, he also defined him as an elephant with green onions in his trunk and garlic, but now he knows that this is his true personality. "Mom, it would be good when Lao Tzu would be able to develop this bearing," he was thinking like this, when he suddenly saw Zhang Quanyou move.

Zhang Quanyou squatted up suddenly, pulled the bolt of the gun at the same time, and shouted in his mouth: "Fight!" The gun went off.

Many "bandits" can't hold back anymore, and they all hear the footsteps of the little devils, how close should this be to this! If a large number of devils rush up, the two sides will fight on the top of the mountain, and lose the advantage of the terrain, then they will not suffer too much!

The closest devil to the top of the mountain is already less than twenty meters, and if it is flat ground, it is estimated that they can jump over in seconds. Of course, it is precisely because it is mountainous that Zhang Quanyou dares to be so bold and put them so close.

On the battle line about 200 meters wide, as the assault rifle in Zhang Quanyou's hand spouted tongues of fire, in an instant, no less than 200 assault rifles, submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns opened fire at the same time.

The Japanese counterattack was also timely. The machine-gun positions they had set up early in the morning immediately began to return fire, and the "aggressive" gunfire rang out, and some of the soldiers were shot and immediately dragged down by their comrades behind them.

Japanese grenadiers also began to join the battlefield, one grenade after another flew up to the top of the hill in an arc, and from time to time a cadet was engulfed in exploding fireballs, and at the same time, more devils fell in pools of blood.

The firepower at the top of the mountain was beyond Iida's expectations, but he saw it as the last hurdle he had to overcome to capture the fruits of victory. He roared loudly: "Rush up, rush up!" Rushing forward is victory! ”

Led by some of the officers, the little devils began to shout, as if this would speed up their advance, and as if they could scare away the enemy. They rushed to the top of the mountain with a shout, completely ignoring the rain of bullets that were falling from the mountain.

More devils fell, but there were still a vast number of devils behind them calling for a charge.

The "bandits" used automatic weapons, and they never knew how to save ammunition, and out of ten people, at most, only one person was transferred to shoot at all. So many people at the same time with automatic fire, the drawbacks quickly manifested themselves. Less than three minutes into the battle, the magazines were already empty, and by the five minutes, at least half of them were in this situation at the same time.

Half of the people stopped shooting at the same time, and the people behind them did not immediately make up for it, and immediately there was a defensive vacuum.

Hundreds of assault rifles fired at the same time, and their power was really terrifying, and the rain of bullets it formed was not an exaggeration to describe it as pouring rain. The devils were frightened by this density of shooting, but at this time, the gunfire was weak, and there were even no gunshots in many places.

Iida was also shocked by the strength of the defenders' counterattack, and he felt that his scalp was a little numb, but the defenders' gunfire weakened, and he realized that this was the other party changing the magazine, and he couldn't help but feel lucky - the commander of the defenders, it seems that he is a straw bag, and he doesn't even know how to formulate a counterattack order, God help me! "Warriors under His Majesty the Emperor, the opportunity is right in front of you, move forward!" He shouted excitedly, his voice trembling a little because of his excitement.

If the "bandits" did not have a particular dependence on grenades, but only changed the magazine in a regular manner, then this is really an opportunity for the 213 wing. And as long as one squadron of more than 3,000 devils can rush to the top of the mountain, then the three brigades and one regiment will lose the opportunity to counterattack, and can only be forced to engage in a bloody white-knives battle. And the final result, there is no doubt that the 213 Wing can definitely take the Lion Gate in one go, and get the opportunity to condescendingly attack the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment of the Third Brigade. In that case, the Third Brigade will not only be defeated, but the new county will also be lost. Next, whether the 213th Wing went north to block the retreat of the 1st Division, 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade, or directly attacked Nanchang, it was able to catch Chu Tiange off guard. At that time, Nanchang will definitely not be safeguarded, and both the first and third divisions may be surrounded by the Japanese army.

If Nanchang is lost, then Ouyang Yun's plan to take the initiative to attack the 11th Army in the north will be greatly affected, and it may even be forced to fall into passive defense from the active attack and be directly blocked in the Ganzhou area.

Iida was paralyzed by the "bandits'" previous grenade throwing, and he did not realize that the defenders might also temporarily abandon their guns and greet them with grenades.

In just five minutes of fire-catching process, some of the cadets also threw grenades, but the number of those few was completely different from the previous smashing of dozens or hundreds of heads.

Originally, Iida was still faintly uneasy when the defenders suddenly ceased fire, but now, on the contrary, he is more and more sure that only the small troops left behind in the mountains should be the defenders, and the large forces of the defenders have retreated.

Soon, he paid for it. The regional ceasefire lasted only a dozen seconds, and then, hundreds of grenades suddenly flew out of the defenders' positions.
