Section 138 Counterattack on Gao'an XXXIV

"Do you know where this building came from?" The tall sledgehammer's body didn't move, he seemed to have eyes behind his back, as if he saw the arrival of Wang Mengeng and Wang Tongzhang, and after a deep groan, he opened his mouth and asked.

Wang Mengeng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, what is the situation? What kind of madness is this with a tall sledgehammer, when has this happened, he has the heart to study the "cultural relics". However, after so many things, Wang Mengeng was still very calm, and after a deep groan, he asked rhetorically: "Is the battalion commander familiar with this place?" ”

The tall hammer said lightly: "This building was built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, because the number of auspicious charms to the city was far from being as flat as it is now, so someone built this building here to start a teahouse business, which has been repaired and repaired for nearly three hundred years, and this building is becoming more and more spectacular." Nowadays, the roads are smooth and the traffic is convenient, and in time, it may not be possible to build a small town with this, and live happily among the green mountains and green waters, but it is a pity that ......"

"It's a pity that the continuous war and the devils who should be killed have ruined the peace here, and today we will put the battlefield here, I'm afraid this building will disappear from now on." Wang Mengeng also sighed involuntarily.

Hearing this, Sledgehammer suddenly turned around, he looked at the brothers of the second battalion who were busy on the hillside, and then looked into the distance. The Japanese troops, who had not yet figured out the situation, were a little at a loss at the moment, and did not know whether to attack or retreat to the main city. Seeing this, Gao Da Hammer sneered and said: "There are so many devils who accompany the burial of this old building, presumably the original owner of this building, Jiuquan, knows and will be satisfied." ”

Wang Mengeng looked at the tall sledgehammer a little helplessly, he really couldn't understand where he got so much emotion today, after thinking about it for a while, he decided that he still had to focus on the battle in front of him, and immediately asked: "Battalion commander, is it a little too risky for us to put all our brothers into frontal defense in this battle, if the devil of Xiangfuguan receives the news and kills us from behind, wouldn't it be ......?"

Gao Da Hammer waved his hand and said: "The regiment commander never fights uncertain battles, and I will not joke with the lives of the brothers in the second battalion." Since the regiment commander can calculate that the devil will draw troops from the direction of Ayutthaya, and let us rush here to block it first, it means that all this is in his plan, we just follow the order to fight, and this battle will be won and defeated. ”

Seeing the confident momentum of the tall sledgehammer and hearing his strong and powerful voice, the residual hesitation in Wang Menggeng's heart completely disappeared. Wang Tongzhang, who was on the side, was a little stimulated by these words, and couldn't help but clench his fists and shouted: "The regiment commander has no last resort, this battle will be won!" ”

The soldiers who were busy not far away vaguely heard his shout, and thought that the battalion commander was encouraging the morale of the brothers, so they immediately put down their work and shouted: "This battle will be won!" ”

One, two, three, ten...... First a squad, then a platoon, and the entire battalion was boiling, and everyone scrambled to shout: "This battle will be won!" This battle will be won! The roars of nearly seven hundred soldiers gradually became uniform, and the high-pitched roar hovered over the mountain like a dragon's roar, and the sound shook the sky.

Jiatian Yong was startled by the roar coming from afar, and hurriedly looked up into the distance, and when he saw the human head faintly flashing in the middle of the road in front of him and on the hill beside the road, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, this battle is not easy to fight.

However, the current situation, can no longer help him sigh and hesitate, through the distant realm, he can see that the enemy army is seizing the time to build fortifications, it is obvious that the enemy army has not arrived for a long time, now is the time to gain a foothold, but if the time drags on, it will be different, and after the position is constructed, if you want to force a breakthrough, the price you have to pay will be great.

"The machine-gun squadron, immediately suppress the enemy forces on the hill, the first squadron and the second squadron attack from the front, and the third squadron acts as a reserve, ready for reinforcements at any time." After pondering for a while, Kada suddenly made up his mind. He knew that the situation on the front line of Xiangfuguan was tense, and in this case, it would not only take too long to take a detour over the mountains and mountains, but if he encountered the enemy's resistance again, it would be over. Therefore, the only way is to immediately attack and forcibly open the avenue to the auspicious temple.

After finishing speaking, he immediately said to a staff officer beside him: "Kojima-kun, you immediately report the situation here to Honda-kun and Tsuda Osa in Oshiro, and if conditions permit, ask them to come for reinforcements immediately." ”

Seeing that the staff officer responded and hurried to the location of the radio station, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly prayed in his heart that it was best to defeat the enemy army in front of him at one time.

The Japanese moved extremely fast, and just after Kada Yong's order was given, the Japanese machine gun squadron took the lead, and it seemed that just a few breaths later, a heavy machine gun had advanced to the forefront of the battlefield and was erected in front of the hillside. Because they left the artillery platoon behind when they set out from Ayutthaya, the machine gun squadron became the most powerful firepower of the Japanese army at this moment.

Twelve heavy machine guns lined up one after another, the dark muzzles and the Japanese troops who were waiting for the battle, so that the battle here was about to break out, however, looking at the busy Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the mountain, the national soldiers on the hillside have not received the order to attack, so that watching the Japanese machine gun position take shape step by step, even the most calm people can't help it.

However, the military discipline of the second battalion is abnormally strict, and its execution is even far above that of the first battalion. Almost watched the devil busy under the gun for most of the day, but was stunned that no soldier shot the enemy without authorization, that kind of strange situation, but also made the Japanese troops under the mountain very nervous, and they have been cautious and tense nervous, and soon people are a little unbearable.

The infantry squadron had already started the offensive under the leadership of Cao Chang at this time!

The road was not wide, so the Japanese set the attacking units as squads, and saw a group of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, bowing and constantly pushing forward. The Japanese soldiers of this squad obviously had a lot of combat experience, and they crossed forwards and moved quickly, trying not to trace the direction of their advance.

In addition to the road, there were also groups of Japanese troops outflanking and advancing on the rugged potholes on both sides, and with their offensive in this way, it was obvious that they wanted to take the enemy positions in front of them with all their might.

The tall sledgehammer shrank behind a piece of bluestone, coldly looked at the advancing Japanese troops below, estimated that the distance between the two armies was about one hundred and fifty paces, and he suddenly pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger.

A crisp gunshot rang out, and the company on the road immediately opened fire after hearing the gunshot, and several rifles in the front row instantly fired lethal bullets in this situation, although they were far away, they still put down several Japanese soldiers sharply. Obviously, the soldiers at the front are the most accurate marksmans, and they can achieve 100 shots and 100 hits at a distance of 150 paces, and their marksmanship is difficult for ordinary people to match.

The Japanese machine gun squadron that was waiting at the foot of the mountain seemed to be frightened by the sound of the tall sledgehammer, and almost at the same time as the guns of the soldiers of the company, they who had been tense and nervous, suddenly launched a fierce attack, and the heavy machine guns rang out one after another, and the crazy strafing immediately formed an impenetrable rain of bullets tightly wrapped the low mountain in it.

"I'm a child, little devil, I'm sending him to death!" After a round of shooting, a company commander Ou Zhanpeng saw that the Japanese army did not hesitate to put the second squad in, and shouted without surprise, while speaking, he took a rifle from the side, quickly touched the front line, and personally took the gun to aim, just when the follow-up Japanese army had just jumped over the body of the dead companion in front, the rifle in his hand rang out, followed by the gunfire of a company of soldiers beside him, this time, the Japanese soldiers who were on guard fell three people.

The Japanese squadron leader who was watching the battle from a distance saw the situation here clearly through the binoculars, and saw his soldiers fall one after another, his face was calm, as if he had nothing to do with him, and immediately waved his sword, and another squad was thrown into the attack. In a very short period of time, around the not wide road, dozens of Japanese soldiers quickly advanced forward.

At this time, after basically figuring out the enemy's attack distance, the only mortar squad of the Japanese army quickly reinforced, and they set up a temporary artillery position about 300 paces away from the battlefield, and began to cover the attack of their troops with a few shells.

At the same time, the follow-up troops also set up a machine gun on the side of the road as the assault force continued to advance, and began to suppress the forward with the fierce fire of the machine gun, and with the continuous attack of the mortar in the distance, for a time it made the forward position of the first company feel that it could not raise its head.

This kind of comprehensive fire suppression undoubtedly gave great help to the Japanese troops who were assaulting, and when the blocking fire appeared hollow, they could not help but pull their legs and run wildly, and in a very short time, they advanced more than 40 steps to the front, and had advanced to about 100 steps of the defensive formation. Behind these Japanese troops, more and more machine gun positions were established, although the suppressive fire here seems to be much weaker than at the foot of the hill on the side, but it has to be said that their step-by-step continuous advance method is extremely effective, especially after the suppressive fire of the machine guns has taken effect, the assault force's attack is much easier.

Soon, the Japanese advanced to a distance of eighty paces in front of the position.
