"What did the people of the second battalion do? Why did they miss out when they retreated?"

When they heard the soldier's report that there were still comrades alive on the first line of defense, Zhang Qingshan and the others all looked at the first line of defense in the forest.

It's just that it was a little late at that time, the devil had already come up, and Zhang Ergou was ready to die with the enemy.

Then, everyone watched as a warrior with a cluster grenade died with the last armored vehicle of the little devil. And the morale and courage that the little devil had just risen also disappeared in this explosion, and he took the initiative to retreat.

Zhang Qingshan and others in the forest on the top of the mountain were all sad and angry, but they were helpless.

In the end, Zhang Qingshan gritted his teeth and asked.

"Hey~!" Tian Guozhong on the side did not answer, but sighed heavily, and said with emotion: "What an excellent comrade, what a heroic soldier, what a brave man...... It's a pity. ”

Zhang Qingshan didn't ask any more questions, because he understood that what he asked just now was a bit unkind: The first company and the second company of the second battalion, in the first line of defense, in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment and attacks of the little devils, they stubbornly withstood three times: the first time was completed by the first company alone, and the second time was done by the first company. The second company and the artillery completed together; the third time it was particularly tragic, and the two sides fought to the end, and fought a white-knuckle battle (I don't know if it was because during the second attack, the artillery company of the assault regiment directly killed two armored vehicles, and the little devil was frightened, or maybe he felt that before the artillery company of the assault regiment was eliminated, the armored car was a live target, so the third and fourth times, the little devil did not send the armor. ）

Both companies suffered more than half of the casualties.

After repelling the charge of the little devils for the third time, they had to urgently retreat in order to prevent the shelling of the little devils. The situation was urgent, there was not enough time, and he was busy transferring the wounded first, so how could he have so much time to go to the examination one by one? What's more, Zhang Weiguo was buried in the soil at that time.

"Lao Tian, have we repelled a few attacks from the little devils?"

"Take this time, six times in total. ”

The fourth attack of the little devils was almost frightened back by the explosion of those fifteen mines, killing dozens of second devils.

If it weren't for the fourth line of defense on the top of the mountain, relying on the height and the fact that the two lines of defense were not far apart, and the favorable fire support of the third line of defense was given in time, I am afraid that the third line of defense would have to stage a tragic white-knuckle battle again.

In the face of the sixth attack of the little devil, it was relatively the easiest one, only Zhang Weiguo was fighting alone, and, with his own life, he was forced to blow up, no! To be precise, it scared the little devil away. Moreover, it completely eliminated one of the offensive weapons of the little devils - armored vehicles.

At this point, the only weapon left for the little devil's attack was the mountain artillery.

However, after attacking six times, each attack would be preceded by artillery bombardment, and after fighting for so long, the rear supplies of the little devils have not yet sent new supplies, so there are definitely not many shells for the little devils.

Especially on two of them, the little devils shelled at the expense of ammunition.

The little devil is not stupid, and he may not have remembered it the first time, but the second time, they found that the deployment of the assault regiment and the deployment of troops were in place in a very timely manner. If you want to be so timely, you can only observe it up close, and the only thing in the surrounding mountains that can overlook the whole situation is the opposite mountain...... From this point, they quickly judged the approximate location of the temporary headquarters of the assault regiment, so they bombarded the hill indiscriminately.

Therefore, now Zhang Qingshan and the others can only go around to the forest on the left side of the mountain and re-establish the temporary headquarters.

Another time was when the little devils deliberately targeted the artillery company of the assault regiment.

It has to be said that among all the arms, artillery is the most heart-wrenching.

The fundamental reason for this is that the commando regiment is backward in science and technology and does not have the ability to produce and manufacture on its own.

There is no shortage of troops and light weapons, and even if you don't have them, you can capture them from the enemy. Let's not talk about planes and tanks, even if there are, no one in the assault regiment will drive. Therefore, the biggest and most important thing is the cannon. However, the assault regiment also does not know how to make artillery, let alone shells. It's definitely one shot and one shot less.

Both of these cannot be replenished from one's own side, and can only be captured from the enemy. Moreover, just like this, you have to gamble on luck, for fear that when the enemy escapes, the cannon and shells will be blown up.

There is no doubt about the love of weapons in soldiers, especially the more powerful the weapon at hand, the more they like it. From top to bottom of the assault regiment, everyone paid special attention to artillery...... Otherwise, Zhang Qingshan would not have thought about snatching the little devil's cannon as soon as he came up, instead of blowing it up directly. And the comrades don't mean anything about it, and from this point it shows everyone's love for artillery. Deeper, it also reflects the poverty of the assault group and the thirst for weapons. Of course, this time it is a deeper explanation of the difficulties of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the heavy casualties, and the backbone of the nation.

To tell the truth, artillery fighting is really a technical job, and artillery warfare is the only and most cruel standard to test. The artillery company of the assault regiment has not been established for a long time, and it has not received professional training, and the shells are expensive, and it is impossible to shoot live ammunition like a little devil in peacetime training. Therefore, whether it is professional technology, experience ability, or the number and power of the cannon, the little devil has an advantage.

If they had been hiding and shelling the little devil's artillery position at the most critical moment, they might be able to catch the little devil off guard and destroy the little devil's artillery position. However, in order to cover the first and second companies, in order to reduce the casualties of these two companies, and in order to be able to contain the enemy's attack, they had to be ordered to expose in advance and attack the three armored vehicles of the little devils.

When the little devil attacked the first line of defense for the second time, the artillery company of the assault regiment was ordered to take out three armored vehicles of the little devil.

Although it was discovered by the observers of the little devils in time and shelled it, because the artillery company dispersed in time, three small steel cannons were used as a group, and the three groups of men and horses were specially separated, each dealing with an armored vehicle.

The first group first killed their own target, and the second madman of the deputy company commander also did not hesitate to expose himself because he had to kill the target, so it can be said that he died with the enemy.

However, it aroused a high degree of alertness among the little devil artillerymen.

It is precisely because of this that when the third group (four platoons) only fired two waves of shells, and before they had time to kill the target, they were martyred by the little devils who concentrated their firepower on the whole group.

Subsequently, the only armored car of the little devil did not appear in the next attack.

However, for the fifth time, the armored car of the little devil appeared.

At that time, the artillery company also had a dispute about this: everyone felt that this time, the armored car of the little devil appeared a little strange, and suspected that this was a trap specially set for them by the little devil artillery. After all, during the second attack, the little devil's armored car turned around and ran very quickly. Moreover, in the third, fourth, and both attacks, the armored vehicles of the little devils did not appear. Now, it has suddenly appeared, which has to make people suspicious.

Another point is that because the armored vehicles of the little devils did not appear, the artillery company did not carry out shelling again, even if the third offensive and defensive battle, the two sides staged a tragic white-knuckle battle. And there is another reason for this, there are not many shells in the artillery company, there are only twenty shells left (the ones taken away by the second stunned man, lurking in the first battalion, have not moved, and have not been exposed), according to the rules, this last bit of shells must wait until the most critical moment, either to deal with the enemy's artillery positions, or to be ordered by the superiors, otherwise, everyone will not move.

The platoon leader felt that this was a trap for little devils, and it was better not to be fooled. Besides, there is only one left, and the comrades below will have a way to deal with it, so let's save the last bit of shells when they need it most!

Regardless of whether this is a trap of the little devil or not, it is necessary to kill the last armored car of the little devil, otherwise, not to mention the task will not be completed, and he will be even more sorry for the deputy company commander and the soldiers of the third platoon who sacrificed their lives earlier.

In the end, it was the instructor who came up with a compromise solution.

Ten shells and two small steel cannons were dispatched, and then the best gunner was selected from the existing artillery of the whole company, led by the second platoon commander, a total of eight people, to find a relatively secret place with a good line of sight, and to kill the last armored car of the little devil.

As a result, it turned out that this was indeed a trap for the little devils against the artillery company at one time.

It seems that the armored vehicles of the little devils are not here to attack at all, but to attract firepower, not only did they not follow the little devils behind, but they were not even in a hurry to charge, but directly took the 'zigzag' route.

The second platoon commander with two small steel cannons fired the first wave of shells, and the second wave of shells just went out, and before they could pick up the shells for the third time, the shells of the little devils concentrated on shelling.

Moreover, as if they were still alive in the second platoon, they not only bombed them indiscriminately, but also bombed them back and forth no less than three times within 40 meters of their surroundings. It can be seen that the little devil is iron-hearted, and he will do everything to kill the artillery company first.

As a result, the artillery battery of the assault regiment directly lost half of its small steel guns and several dozen fighters. It can be said that more than half of the casualties were killed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qingshan felt as if there was a sharp knife cutting his heart, which was extremely painful. I couldn't help but ask, "How is the situation on the artilleryman's side?"

"The comrades were very excited and angry, and they were all shouting that they would be given guns, and they were going down to fight with the little devils to avenge their comrades. ”

"That's not good!" Zhang Qingshan's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "The cannon is gone, and it can be captured from the little devil again, but if the people who can use this guy are gone, then there will really be nothing." No amount of artillery captured will be in vain. ”

"I know, therefore, I have already told their instructor that we must calm the emotions of our comrades, and at this time, we must not act rashly, let alone mess with ourselves. ”

Zhang Qingshan nodded, and was about to speak, when he saw a roar sound from the right......
