Faced with the strong bunkers and reinforced bunkers on the defenders' positions, the Japanese mountain artillery was too powerful. The position looked full of smoke and dust, but neither the bunkers and bunkers were badly damaged, and only the trenches and sandbag fortifications along the trenches suffered some losses. However, there was not a single soldier in the trenches, so the Japanese shelled for 20 minutes, and the defending officers and men on the position suffered zero casualties.

The Japanese army will always be the same old way of attacking. As soon as the mountain artillery bombardment stopped, an infantry squadron that had been assembled, under the cover of a dozen small guns of the wing, began to attack the position. As soon as the Japanese troops were assembled, Chu Xifeng, the commander of the second battalion in the anti-artillery hole, had already received a report from the observation post. For the tentative attack of an infantry squadron like the Japanese army, Chu Xifeng didn't take it seriously at all.

Chu Xifeng just asked the commander of the first company, Chen Ergen, to take the first company to the position, and ordered the heavy machine guns in the bunker behind the position not to fire. The 150 officers and men of the first company, led by company commander Chen Ergen, went to the front-line position along the communication trench, and the four heavy machine guns in the company also entered the bunker fortifications behind the trenches. And a dozen light machine guns were distributed in sandbag bunkers in the front-line trenches.

The trenches and sandbag bunkers were damaged to a certain extent, but only one company entered the position, and there were no problems. The first company entered the position, and the infantry squadron of the Japanese army was still about 400 meters away from the position. The commander of the first company, Chen Ergen, shouted: "Ready!" and stared at the Japanese soldiers who were walking forward. There is no need for Chen Ergen to bother with it, more than 80% of the people in the company are veterans, and they naturally know how to prepare.

After hearing the company commander's "ready", the soldiers of the first company lay down in their positions, opened the safety of their weapons, loaded all the bullets, and put them at hand, while a dozen sharpshooters in the company put the selected target in the cross frame of the scope. Three hundred meters away, the heavy machine guns of the Japanese covering the attack opened fire, and the bullets screeched and flew over the heads of the fighters or hit the dirt in front of the trenches.

Chen Ergen saw that the Japanese heavy machine guns were fierce, and ordered the sharpshooters to shoot freely, so the guns of the counterattack rang out from the position. The sound of this gunfire sounded intermittent, almost inaudible by the sound of Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns, but the Japanese heavy machine gunners were constantly being shot in the head, which made the Japanese heavy machine guns sound intermittently.

Nearly 200 meters later, the Japanese infantry squadron also opened a skirmish formation, and the position had not yet opened full fire, and these Japanese soldiers only bent down and cautiously approached the position, and did not fire. When most of the Japanese soldiers entered within 200 meters, Chen Ergen gave the order to open fire, and suddenly more than 100 light and heavy weapons on the position fired bullets at the Japanese troops at the same time.

The heavy machine guns continued to fan the Japanese attack, and the four heavy machine guns were enough to block the Japanese advance. The light machine guns were fired in bursts and bursts, and the targets were the "crooked" light machine guns that were firing in the Japanese ranks, while the assault, front guns, and semi-automatic rifles were aimed at the advancing infantry. The marksmanship of these veterans of the first company was extremely accurate, and the two sides did not shoot each other for a long time, and more than half of the Japanese infantry squadron had suffered casualties.

This Taiwanese mixed brigade had not yet engaged in a frontal positional battle with the 90th Army, and in the battle of Woyan Mountain, the defenders mostly used the terrain to attack the Japanese army. The defenders gave Lin Wenxiu the impression that he was well-equipped and well-trained.

This defender's automatic weapons are exaggerated, with light and heavy machine guns, and assault and front guns accounting for almost half, and such weapons and equipment are much more than those of the 16th Division behind them. And the marksmanship of the Shina soldiers is extremely accurate, and they are not at all under the fighters under their own command. In the face of such a defender with a geographical advantage, Lin Wenxiu's confidence began to waver.

This is not the incompetent Chinese army that I have heard of at all, their combat effectiveness is even stronger than the armies of the European and American powers that they have encountered, and Lin Wenxiu Dazuo understands that the following battle will be very difficult to fight. Just when Lin Wenxiu Dazuo was still thinking about this, the infantry squadron, which had lost most of the centaurs, had withdrawn. Even if Lin Wenxiu Dazuo understood that this battle was not easy to fight, but the military order was like a mountain, he still had to continue to attack the defenders' positions.

The loss of a few hundred men was nothing for the 2nd Infantry Wing, which had several thousand men, but seeing such ferocious fire on the defenders' positions, the morale of the Japanese army was also hit. Lin Wenxiu Dazuo asked the mountain artillery wing to continue the shelling, and on the other hand, he cheered up an infantry brigade that had assembled to prepare for the attack. Perhaps it was his encouragement that played a role, and the morale of the officers and men of this infantry brigade was boosted.

The Japanese mountain artillery began to bombard again, and Chen Ergen had already returned to the anti-artillery hole with a company on the position. In this battle, four people were killed in a company, three were seriously wounded, and six were lightly wounded, which was very small compared with the Japanese troops destroyed. In the anti-artillery hole, the soldiers of the first company were not excited because they had repelled the Japanese army, and this level of fighting was not worth mentioning to them at all.

The soldiers were either sorting out their weapons and ammunition, or resting and bragging, while the company commander Chen Ergen ran to the battalion commander Chu Xifeng to report the battle. Chu Xifeng didn't say anything about the battle of the first company, this is also the precursor of the big battle, the middle distance of the first battle, nothing special. Listening to the explosion of the shells outside the cave, Chu Xifeng paid attention to the report that was about to come from the observation post.

Chu Xifeng didn't wait long, and a report came from the observation post that an infantry brigade of the Japanese army was assembling. An infantry brigade, with more than a thousand troops, made Chu Xifeng pay attention to it. Chu Xifeng immediately gave the order through the walkie-talkie, and after the Japanese artillery bombardment ended, all the officers and men of the second battalion went to the position. After a while, the sound of Japanese artillery bombardment subsided, and all the officers and men of the second battalion, except for the seriously wounded, rushed to the position under the leadership of Chu Xifeng.

Chu Xifeng himself and the guards around him entered a bunker, and in the bunker, Chu Xifeng raised his binoculars to look at the Japanese troops who were starting to attack. An infantry brigade of more than 1,000 Japanese troops looked yellow from a distance. The width of the front of the position was still enough for the Japanese army to spread out more than 1,000 people, and the Japanese army deliberately built a heavy machine gun position with eight heavy machine guns more than 400 meters in front of the position to cover the attack.

Moreover, the small artillery with assists has also increased a lot, Chu Xifeng is so strong that after counting, there are eight Type 92 infantry guns alone, and there are even more mortars. The focus of these small cannons is to deal with light and heavy machine gun fire points on the position, which Chu Xifeng knows very well in his heart. But the bunkers and bunkers where the heavy machine guns are located on the position are helpless, and even the mountain artillery is helpless, so what losses can you small artillery cause?

Under the cover of the Japanese small artillery, the infantry began to attack, and the heavy machine guns on the heavy machine gun positions also began to strafe, and a puff of dust rose from time to time in front of the trenches hit by heavy machine gun bullets. In the front-line trenches were the officers and men of the first company led by the commander of the first company, Chen Ergen, and the officers and men of the second company, led by the commander of the second company, He Yong, and the third company was ready to support in the communication trench behind the trench. Under the suppression of the Japanese small artillery and heavy machine guns, the officers and men of the first and second companies were so suppressed that they could hardly lift their heads.

After the Japanese entered the range of 300 meters, the sharpshooters of the second battalion began to fire freely, but this time every time the sharpshooters fired, they would attract retaliatory fire from the Japanese small artillery. Chu Xifeng watched the Japanese army frantically suppress the ground with firepower in the bunker, and his brows couldn't help frowning. The Japanese army had dispersed into an attack formation and pressed forward, and Chu Xifeng ordered the heavy machine guns to suppress the Japanese heavy machine gun positions.

The eight heavy machine guns in the bunker aimed at the Japanese heavy machine gun position and opened fire, and the bullets flew towards the Japanese heavy machine gun position like a rainstorm, and the Japanese heavy machine gun position turned on their backs. As soon as the heavy machine guns in the bunker fired, they immediately suppressed the Japanese heavy machine guns, and the pressure on the officers and soldiers in the trenches suddenly decreased, but the Japanese small guns were like flies that smelled fishy, and immediately concentrated their artillery fire on the bunker.

The shells of the small cannon could not withstand a strong bunker, but the smoke and dust blocked the heavy machine gunner's vision, and the power of the blind heavy machine gun was greatly reduced. After the Japanese army approached a distance of 200 meters, Chu Xifeng issued an order to open fire on all of them, and the position was full of firepower, and dozens of light machine guns swept down the attacking Japanese troops at once. The Japanese army was also considered well-trained, the soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers in the back did not retreat, but lowered their bodies, and while counterattacking with various weapons, they moved forward.

The most dangerous threat to the defenders' positions in the Japanese army was the large number of grenadiers, and experienced Japanese grenadiers were often able to shoot grenades and shells directly into the trenches, resulting in a large increase in casualties among the officers and men in the trenches. The main targets of the sharpshooters are these grenadiers and light machine gunners, but the Japanese army is equipped with four grenadiers in one squad, and an infantry brigade has more than 100 grenadiers, plus the grenadiers are mixed in the infantry, and the target is not easy to find.

The officers and men of the second battalion had good marksmanship and fierce firepower, and the Japanese army could not attack within 100 meters of the position, but the Japanese army relied on the strength of the number of people and did not retreat, and the two sides were in a stalemate and fired at each other. The power of the heavy machine guns on the position decreased, and the Japanese army tended to replace a group of heavy machine gunners and began to suppress the fire of the first-line positions again, and the casualties of the first and second battalions of the Japanese heavy machine guns continued to increase.

Chu Xifeng looked at the battle situation, and his brows furrowed even tighter. In this case, Chu Xifeng decisively ordered the mortars behind to open fire, targeting the Japanese small artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions. After receiving the order, Feng Gui, the commander of the heavy firepower company who had already given the order to open the artillery, jumped up and shouted: "Quick, the mortar is ready, the target Japanese small artillery position, three rapid fires, release!"

More than 20 mortars of large and small calibers in the battalion fired artillery and shells at the Japanese small artillery positions from several artillery positions at the same time. Dozens of artillery rounds and shells were enough to cover the Japanese small artillery position, and I saw that the continuous explosions on the Japanese small artillery position came, and the Japanese small artillery gunners and those small guns were drowned in the smoke and fire.
