Section 214 The assault begins

Liu Wenfeng, who was on the side, said to the signal soldier beside him: "Tell Ou Zhanpeng to immediately return to the town with the brothers of the artillery company, and their task has been completed in this battle." ”

"Yes" The signal soldier responded and quickly ran towards the back, while Cheng Zhong on the side said in a somewhat snorted voice: "When can we be like devils, with enough shells and firepower?" According to the way it was just now, if the artillery company had enough shells, not to mention an hour, bombarded him for half an hour, the task of this battle would be completed. ”

Liu Wenfeng couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Old Cheng, when did you expect these things?" Expecting others is unreliable after all, and if we want to accomplish the task, we have to rely on ourselves, and if the devil wants to attack Yong'an, we must step on the body of our brothers in the first battalion. ”

Cheng Chong's face did not change: "That's what I said, but if you can complete the task with a little effort, who wants to fight with the devil with your head?" I'm still thinking that if we had the support of aircraft and artillery like the devils, I'm afraid that the little devils would have been driven out of the country and back to Dongying Island! ”

Liu Wenfeng smiled again: "These ideas of yours are too unrealistic, in my opinion, when Shi Shi is promoted to the commander of the theater level and commands hundreds of thousands of people to fight against devils, maybe his dream will really come true." You see, since we fought behind the stones, when have we ever suffered defeat? There have been so many big and small battles, which time has not hit the Japanese army hard? This means that we have few people, if there are so many tens of thousands of people, how many devils can be killed after a big victory? It is estimated that it will take a few battles, and the devils who can fight will not be able to fight anymore. ”

Cheng Zhong couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Liu Wenfeng incredulously and said, "Crazy, do you really dare to think, the commander of the theater?" In terms of Shi's military exploits, not to mention the army commander, being a division commander is definitely more than enough, but what position do you see he is now? Major General Regiment Commander, how many combat exploits do you have to make if you want to be promoted to the commander of the theater? In our current situation, I am afraid that when we are old, we will only have one army commander at most. ”

Liu Wenfeng was just about to say something more, but the retreating Japanese troops in the distance had already approached again. This made him close his mouth and pick up the binoculars in front of him to observe the situation of the enemy army.

A mile away, it was still a mess at the moment, and there were huge craters on the flat ground after being attacked by shells, and wisps of green smoke were still emitting at the moment, plus the corpses left by the Japanese army in a hurry to evacuate, making all this look very unbearable. Farther away, the withdrawn Japanese troops began to move closer again, and it was clear that the artillery offensive just now was fierce, but it did not make the Japanese give up their determination to conquer this place. The only difference may be that after suffering losses, the Japanese army already knew that the national troops here were not as vulnerable as usual, especially their endless methods, which made the Japanese army even more vigilant.

The Japanese troops who opened a long line of skirmishers began to continuously approach the line of Xiaomin Mountain, and when the front troops broke through to the original place where they were, Liu Wenfeng found that the Japanese follow-up troops had stopped advancing and began to redeploy the defensive line. Seeing this situation, Liu Wenfeng did not hesitate to put down the binoculars and shouted: "Hide, be careful of the devil's cannon!" ”

In fact, where do you need to remind him, these veterans who have survived I don't know how many battles have a perception of danger far beyond ordinary people, and they have already retreated into bunkers and dirt pits when they see the Japanese army approaching from a distance. Sure enough, as soon as they reacted here, a loud "boom" appeared on the mountainside, even if they were far away, even if they were hiding in the bunker, they seemed to be able to feel the blazing air wave in their faces, and they could also feel the terrifying power contained in the shells, and the entire mountain seemed to be a little unable to withstand such an explosion, and it shook for a while.

However, this was only the beginning, as the shell fell, followed by a series of explosions on the hills, and countless puffs of smoke shot into the sky, making the situation look particularly terrifying.

On the Japanese position, seeing that the mountains in front of him were hit by shells one after another, and seeing that the enemy did not react in the fierce artillery fire, the face of Takeo Okabu, the commander of the Sixth Wing, not only did not relax but became more and more hideous, especially when his eyes swept to the position in front, the flesh of his cheeks shook involuntarily.

"Fire, tell the artillery squadron, shoot all the shells for me, I'm going to flatten the mountain in front of me!" Takeo Okabu roared as hard as he could, like a red-eyed fighting. It is no wonder that if Chi Naosaburo's frustration was due to the fact that they did not understand the enemy's fancy and diverse offensive methods, the immediate loss was their own mistake, and they advanced their positions to a mile away from the enemy's front without any defense, knowing that the enemy had artillery, which was simply a matter of taking the lives of their soldiers. And the person who gave the order was still himself, how did he get off the stage?

The artillerymen in the rear of the infantry squadron also launched a ferocious attack, reloading shells one after another, and firing fiercely at the mountains in front of them. Before, they had not yet shown their strength, but they were disarmed by the enemy's artillery, and now that it was finally their turn to fire, how could they give up such a good opportunity? Speaking of which, this is also one of the few cases in which they carry out artillery bombardment against the enemy's possible artillery counterattack, when they think of the enemy's powerful firepower, they are a little nervous, you must know that the enemy's artillery is similar to them, and they have the advantage of range on the hillside, they can certainly attack the enemy on the hillside, once the enemy's artillery fires, it can also attack their position without hindrance, the situation at this moment, it is like a sword hanging above their heads, which may be cut down at any time, This also allows them to put all their attention on the battlefield ahead, and dare not have the slightest slackness. Because of this, they have done all kinds of actions very well, and it seems that even the accuracy of shooting is several times better than usual.

However, the artillery counterattack, which had worried all the Japanese troops, did not come, and with the continuous fire of the six guns of the artillery squadron and the artillery belonging to the squadrons, the entire front ridge was shrouded in thick smoke. Under the cover of artillery, the previously disrupted Japanese infantry also began to regroup and prepare for the attack.

As time passed, Takeo Okabu also quieted down. I don't know if it's because the scolding is boring, or if the shells keep firing, the anger in his chest is gradually vented, his emotions are gradually calming down, and the order to attack is constantly given. As for this attack, not only Takeo Okabaku, but also all the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Wing were extremely cautious, and the pace of the attack was far less fast than usual. Although the artillery squadron that has been on the side at this moment is still constantly suppressing the enemy troops on the mountain, although the entire mountain range seems to have been flattened, and the strength of the enemy army must have suffered heavy losses, they no longer dare to have any luck and carelessness in their hearts.

The 1st Brigade of the 6th Wing suffered heavy losses near Huanghua Town, and the two squadrons were wiped out almost at the moment of the battle, and Okabu Takeo had no choice but to leave the most elite troops under his command in Huanghua Town to recuperate. In addition, all the troops of the Sixth Wing rushed here. However, the previous sudden artillery attack caused them a lot of losses, and in order to ensure the strength and continuity of the attack, he also made adjustments, letting the second brigade take the lead, and let the third brigade temporarily serve as a reserve, so as to launch the final blow at the most lethal moment.

The captain of the second brigade, Eio Kuroda, has always been a little unconvinced, he has always felt that the second brigade will not be worse than the first brigade in terms of combat ability, and the reason why Chi Naosaburo can have today is entirely because he and the co-captain are classmates. Now that Chi Naosaburo has planted a big heel, he is also secretly refreshed. However, when attacking, he was still quite cautious, no matter what, the combat ability of the first brigade was there, and Chi Naosaburo was a person who had always been cautious and abnormal, so he could suffer a big loss, and the enemy army was naturally not comparable to ordinary troops.

After getting the order to attack the main attack, he also immediately made adjustments and arrangements, he had a total of 4 infantry squadrons and 1 machine gun squadron under his command, on the frontal battlefield, he arranged three squadrons to attack in echelons, wanting to tear apart the enemy's defense line with the cover of artillery with a continuous attack, on the battlefield on the right flank, he arranged two squads as a vigilance, and in the open area of the left flank, he arranged a machine gun squad, and another machine gun squad was to accompany the attacking troops to attack the enemy frontally, The remaining machine gun squad and infantry squad, plus the units directly under the brigade, were personally commanded by him as a reserve, and followed closely behind the squadrons of the main attack to prepare for a strong attack on the enemy's positions.

As the cannon fire stopped, Kuroda Eio immediately gave the order to attack without hesitation, in his heart, this battle can only succeed and not fail, and he will never retreat until the last soldier, which is not only loyal to the empire, but also proves that the second brigade under his command is the strongest infantry brigade of the sixth wing and even the entire third division.

At the same time, the commander of the second company on the ridge on the flank saw that the enemy had put all his forces on the northernmost ridge where the third company was stationed, and he couldn't help frowning together, and his heart was hesitating, should the second company rush to the third company to reinforce it? In the case of repeated onslaught from the devil's artillery, can the third company withstand the continuous attack of the devil's infantry?
