Section 117 Civil engineering should be dealt with

Stone was naturally not in the mood to enjoy these scenes, in his eyes, bullets were bullets, and at the end of the dazzling light, there were deadly bullets, and he only cared about whether the brothers of the Third Company, who were attacking the mountain, had been shot, and whether they could successfully capture this mountain under the suppression of such fierce fire by the Japanese army.

The mountain in front of him is actually not high, and it is not a steep one, but it is just on the side of the road, and there is no way to pass it without taking it. The reason why the Japanese army chose this place to set up a position seems to be precisely because of this, holding this place, there will be no danger at all in Yuntou Mountain, which is five or six miles away. Even if the terrain here is not enough to support it for too long, the Japanese army should not have any intention of fighting here for a long time, after tonight, whether to retreat or attack, it should be clear, before dawn, what they have to do is only to ensure the safety of this area as much as possible.

The firepower on the top of the mountain is very intensive, at first glance, there is a machine gun on the front line of the Japanese army is strafing, with the rifle on the side, almost more than 30 people launched an attack, plus the shroud of night, the visual effect caused by the bullet shooting under the night is particularly conspicuous, which adds to the momentum of the Japanese army on the mountain, making people dare not take risks easily. If it is replaced by an ordinary national army, in the face of this situation, I am afraid there is really not much way, after all, the firepower of the Japanese army is so strong, if you use flesh and blood to resist, how many people have the courage?

However, the soldiers of the first battalion and the third company were not afraid of such a scene, and under the leadership of the company commander Cheng Chong, they slowly approached the enemy's defensive line, and every time they took a step forward, they would observe for a long time, and even many soldiers took advantage of the gap between the Japanese fire to raise their rifles and counterattack. Although the gunfire was not dense, the effect of the shooting was truly amazing. These veterans are usually very proud, but they do have proud capital and ability, and in such a complex battlefield, every shot they fired could cause casualties to the Japanese troops on the mountain.

After a short period of time, the Japanese troops stationed on the mountain were obviously a little unbearable, and the original dense firepower suppression gradually calmed down, and the tense atmosphere of-for-tat, even the people who watched the battle from a distance involuntarily held their breath.

Cheng Zhong looked ahead, then at his side, and his brows couldn't help frowning. The enemy had fallen silent after the initial fierce suppression, and at this moment they should have only been fifty or sixty paces away from the Japanese position, and they could break through the enemy position with a single charge through this dead zone. And with the strong force of the soldiers of the three companies, the hand-to-hand combat face-to-face is not under the Japanese army, if this is the case, they will have great confidence to take this mountain in one fell swoop. However, the more this is the case, the more careful Cheng Chong becomes, and even he has not acted for a long time at the moment.

Judging from the previous firepower of the Japanese army, the strength of the enemy should have been twenty or thirty people, and at first glance it gave the impression that the enemy should have stationed a small squad here. But Cheng Zhong didn't dare to think so, in such an important place, the strength of a squad was too small, and his intuition told him that the enemy army in front of him was very likely to be a squadron. And if you calculate it this way, the strength of their three companies is a little weak, a squadron of the Japanese army has a full 180 people, and they have only 160 people in an infantry company, and the enemy occupies a geographically advantageous defensive position, which is a great advantage. This distance of fifty or sixty paces, if it were on flat ground, should only take a few breathing time to pass, as long as a few machine guns suppressed the enemy, at a small price, it was completely possible to rush through. But the terrain at this time is very different from the usual situation, when they are down the mountain, they can't see it, but when they get here, Cheng Zhong can see it clearly. I don't know if it's natural, or the devil has specially repaired it here, this section is very close to the Japanese position, very steep, and there is not even a hidden place on the smooth and flat hillside, this kind of open shooting horizon is very conducive to the defender's machine gun play, the sloping hillside greatly prolongs the impact time, as long as the bullets are enough, no matter how many people attack, it will not be able to rush up in a short time. With such a terrain, relying only on a triple company, it is impossible to take the hill in front of it in a short time.

After judging such a situation, Cheng Zhong is also calmly thinking about the way to deal with it, since he can't take the enemy's position for a while, the first thing to ensure is to stabilize the defense line, and establish a springboard for advancing in their current position, as long as this defense line is stable enough, even if their wave of attacks does not achieve effective results, in the next time, they can also continue to attack, with the strength of the battalions of the independent regiment, with the ability of the regiment commander to fight, it is only a matter of time before he takes this mountain, The difference is only how much time they spend and how many troops they lose.

With Cheng Chong's order, the soldiers of the third company were stunned for a moment and then took action with scolding. This is Cheng Chong, if you change people, rush to such a close distance from the enemy's position, not only do not attack, but dig a hole with the fire of the devil, then no one is willing to do it, especially when there is no handy tool, this efficiency is even lower.

"What the hell is Lao Cheng doing up there?" The people watching the battle waited for a long time and didn't see the attack on the mountain, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and Liu Wenfeng, as the battalion commander, couldn't help but ask.

No one could answer him, because the night was too dark, and the mountains in front of him could only be vaguely outlined, and it was not clear what was going on there. Especially the two sides who are not far away, at this time, they dare not expose themselves to the noses of the enemy, and the slightest carelessness can attract a burst of shooting.

It didn't take long for them to speculate here when a squad leader sent by Cheng Zhong came to them. After reporting the situation on the mountain and Cheng Chong's thoughts, he stood aside and waited for orders.

Although Shi and the others knew that this battle was not easy to fight, they did not expect the situation above to be so complicated. However, they are all veterans with rich combat experience, and they don't know how many problems they have encountered, but after listening to them once, they understand that the situation reported by Cheng Zhong cannot be taken lightly, and this approach is really the best way at present. After thinking about it, Shi Shi said to Liu Wenfeng: "This battle is not easy to fight, and I don't know how many troops the devil has on the mountain, and the loss of rash attack must be very large." If you want to hurry, you can't reach it! Just do according to Cheng Chong's idea, first dig a trench in the middle of the mountain and build a bunker to confront the devil, the devil is not in a hurry, and it is useless for us to be in a hurry. This battle can set up the general framework of encirclement and annihilation, we have already done what we need to do, the key depends on the results of the 70th Army and other troops on the left wing after moving south, as long as they fight decisively and strongly behind the devil's back, we are constantly approaching here, and we can naturally compress the space for the devil's survival. ”

"Stone, what should I do now?" Liu Wenfeng couldn't help asking.

"Tell Lao Zhou, transfer three hundred young people to cooperate with the three company operations, first stabilize the position on the mountainside, and then continue to consume and eat the devils, at most an hour, we can continue to attack from the devils fifty or sixty steps away, as long as the devils can't keep up with the reaction once, this mountain is ours." Stone said with a sneer.

On the top of the mountain, the gunfire of the Japanese army first greatly weakened, and then disappeared. However, to their surprise, the enemy did not take advantage of this gap to rush up the mountain, and even the enemy did not attack their line of defense from beginning to end, this strange situation was something that these Japanese soldiers had never encountered at all, listening to the sounds not far away, listening to the various sounds that kept coming from the night, they couldn't help but be a little frightened. The ignorance of the unknown made their hearts very uneasy. The night was too dark for me to see far, and I only knew that the enemy was fifty or sixty paces away, but I didn't know what they were doing.

At first, the Japanese thought that the enemy would attack, and launched an attack down the hill with heavy firepower, trying to suppress the enemy as much as possible. But as time passed, they felt that this was not the case, and the attack at this time was a complete waste of bullets, but the enemy was obviously ahead, so they couldn't turn a blind eye, right?

With a sound of "Zla", a blinding white light lit up the sky, and a tracer bullet was launched into the air, illuminating the surrounding battlefield.

The stone and the others in the distance looked at the illuminated sky and the surroundings, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle in unison, the devil was frightened, and couldn't help but want to listen to the movement on the battlefield. However, the Japanese troops on the top of the hill were doomed to disappointment, because when they looked down the hill in the light, they could not see any human figure at all, only a lot of freshly turned earth and gravel not far from their position, and they could not see how many enemies were in front of them.

"The Shina army is building a defensive line below!" A Japanese officer exclaimed, obviously puzzled by the situation in front of him, what were they trying to do at such a close distance?

"Boom" The Japanese commander with a blue face couldn't bear to order to throw it down the mountain under such circumstances*, but the sound of the explosion made his eyes widen, I don't know if it was because of a coincidence or calculation, even if they threw it condescendingly, it was just smashed at the front end of the enemy defense line, and after a violent explosion, it seemed that it had no effect on the enemy troops below. Except for a brief pause, soon there was another burst of noise, which reached the ears of the Japanese soldiers on the mountain, and only sent chills through their hearts.
