Chapter 456: The Attack Begins!
The rumbling of the cannon at the port echoed in the ears of the brothers of the 62nd Regiment, who were rapidly approaching the Mopanshan area.
"One company, up, occupy here, block the devils."
Yin Zuogan looked at Nanshan, Nanshan was in tatters, there were no devils, but it didn't prevent him from reoccupying this place, first, he could cover his back, and second, he could prevent devils from escaping.
"Battalion commander, Commander Long has sent someone over."
On Mopan Mountain, a brother led a second lieutenant officer to find Feng Yi.
"Battalion Commander Feng, the sixty-first regiment has arrived, it's over there, where did the devil go?"
After the second lieutenant officer saluted, he took Long Zuocai's question.
When the sixty-first regiment came, they didn't see the devils at all, and at this time, the devils had just occupied the high ground on both sides, and they hadn't had time to show their sun flags.
"Look, it's on those two heights."
Feng Yi pointed to the plaster flag erected on the high ground, the devil occupied the high ground on both sides, and got the news in advance, and now he is waiting for the Su Wan detachment to take the bait.
"Ahh
"Why don't you hold those two heights? Tough battle! How many brothers died? ”
The second lieutenant officer looked depressed and angry.
"Shou? How long has labor dragged on here? It's almost three hours now? You should have arrived an hour ago, why didn't you? The labourers have not even half of their men left on the high ground, and they will not be able to hold this place if they do not withdraw from it. ”
Feng Ye became angry all of a sudden, pointing to the disorganized position on Mopan Mountain, and an angry voice sounded.
"Battalion Commander Feng, that's the matter of the commander, I'm just carrying out the order and saying goodbye!"
The second lieutenant didn't want to bear Feng Ye's wrath here, so he saluted and ran down the Mopan Mountain.
"Let Feng Ye keep an eye on the devils on the left, and our sixty-first regiment will solve the devils on the right."
Long Zuocai didn't talk so much, and asked a brother to bring back the news, he decided to deal with the devil squadron near the river first, and the sixty-second regiment was almost there, so let the sixty-second regiment deal with the other side of the high ground, according to the news brought back by the scouts, there was a devil's tank halfway up the mountain on that high ground, and that thing was a disaster for the feint troops.
But what Long Zuocai didn't know was that on the high ground at one end of the tank was a squadron of devils with more than two hundred devils, all the equipment was there, and the ammunition was sufficient; His choice was also not very good.
"Let the first battalion prepare for the attack, concentrate all the mortars of the whole regiment, prepare the artillery fire."
Long Zuocai held the binoculars, thanks to the bombing of the devil's plane, the vegetation on the high ground became very small, and his vision was not a problem.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The shells that fired the mortars swept a distance of several hundred meters, rushed to the heights, and exploded on the heights.
"Ahh
In the same way, devils are human beings, and shells landing on the ground will make them scream, especially if they don't have time to build fortifications.
"Yaga! Mortars of the Chinese, let the infantry artillery lock on them, counterattack. ”
Muchuan Nakasa is not a vegetarian, which is why he asked the devil soldiers to carry the infantry guns to the high ground.
"Your Excellency, the infantry artillery is still being assembled, and it is not possible to shell it for the time being."
A military officer reported that the reason why the infantry cannon could go up the mountain was because it was not heavy when disassembled and could be easily transported.
"Up!"
The 61st Regiment was not as wealthy as the devils, and after two rounds of artillery fire, a company of brothers moved forward and tentatively attacked.
"Kill and give!"
The devil will not be polite, and directly order the devil on the position to counterattack.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Da Da Da ......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and grenadiers beckoned to the infantry company as they climbed the mountain.
"Puff puff ......"
"Ahh
In a series of screams, more than 20 brothers fell from an infantry company that had just bent down to attack, and the remaining brothers fell to the ground in a panic, not daring to move at all.
"Keep shelling!"
"Let the commander of the second company stay out of the nest and continue to attack."
Long Zuocai's face was a little bad, he didn't expect the attack just now to be so unsmooth.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The mortars began to roar again, and during the bombardment, the infantry company continued to get up, bent over and continued to attack.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
"Da Da Da ......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The counterattack of the devils did not stop, you are not at all welcome, and their infantry was even building artillery positions in this case, re-digging individual bunkers and trenches.
"Puff puff ......"
The attacking brethren kept falling, and half of the infantry was gone.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw......"
The second company leader shouted, this is not **! I have climbed less than fifty meters, and there is not half a company, and if I go up any further, I am afraid that there will be none; They were just tentatively attacking, there was no need to be so desperate.
"Commander, no! The devils on the mountain are too fierce to attack! ”
The commander of the second company ran to Long Zuocai's side with a disgraced face, crying with a sad face.
"I know, get your people to the back."
Long Zuocai couldn't reprimand this company commander, he saw all the attacks just now, the devil's firepower is really fierce, so it seems that he may not be able to take the high ground if he presses it up with a regiment.
"Send electricity to the headquarters, the devils occupy the high ground next to Mopan Mountain, there is no artillery fire, and they cannot attack."
Long Zuocai had a cold face and asked the signal corps to send a report, it was impossible for him to set up a regiment for this high ground.
On the other side, Yin Zuogan led the 62nd Regiment to also launch an attack on the Gaojing squadron, and similarly, they were also defeated and retreated in the devil's firepower.
Longjian Mountain, the headquarters of the Suwan detachment, is busy, the communication troops keep receiving and sending telegrams, the battle to encircle and annihilate the devils has begun, and now they just need to wait.
"Commander, the port is calling, the devil's attack is very fierce; The artillery they followed destroyed the entire port of houses, which is now in ruins, the devils are now attacking, and the troops of the 60th Division are sniping through the ruins, but the battle is not ideal. ”
The staff officer reported on the situation at the port.
"The troops of the command port must hold on to buy time for the 31st Brigade."
The corners of Ye Peigao's eyes jumped, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Commander, the devils who occupied Guangde and Xuancheng have withdrawn, and another brigade is heading north, probably coming for our troops here."
A staff officer took the message and pointed in the direction of Mopan Mountain.
"Sixty kilometers, the fastest time for the devil's brigade to arrive at the port is one and a half hours; It was ordered that the sixty-first and sixty-second regiments must end the battle within an hour. ”
Ye Peigao stood up, he also found that he seemed to underestimate the devil's determination, and ordered anxiously.
"Commander, the sixty-first regiment is calling."
Another staff officer rushed in, holding Long Zuocai's telegram in his hand.
