The four heights around Pagoda Mountain, like the guards of Pagoda Mountain, arch and defend it, but their size also limits the defenders to build fortifications, in these commanding heights, it is impossible to have several lines of defense, in fact, they can only build one line of defense, so the defenders can only retreat if they want to, they can only defend to the death.

I don't know why the devils attacked the two heights, but they didn't besiege them on all sides, they leaned on the east side, and slowly attacked upwards with the support of tanks.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

On the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, bullets flew back and forth, screams kept ringing, devils and soldiers guarding the high ground kept being shot, and the smell of blood filled the air.

"Battalion commander, I can't stand it, the brothers have too many casualties, give some artillery support!"

Guarding the high ground on the left was a company of the 87th Regiment, which made a direct call to Pagoda Hill, hoping to get mortar support, the British 76.2mm mortars had a range of 1,400 meters, which could fully support the defensive operations on this side.

"The people of the 85th regiment did not ask for artillery support, and he couldn't admit it at this time, and the instructor was watching us at the bottom of the mountain."

The battalion commander who answered the phone shouted, watching the battle from the top of the pagoda mountain, of course he knew that the two highlands were very difficult to fight, and the casualties were very large, but the devil's attack had just begun, and mortars were used at this time, so what should be done later?

"Go on the offensive."

At the foot of the mountain, the devil officers watching the battle waved their hands, and the devils of the two squads showed their bodies from behind the butt of the tank and slowly climbed up the mountain.

"Shoot, grenadiers, knock out the machine guns of the Chinese."

The devils on the mountainside are also uncomfortable, they can only shoot at the defenders now, but fortunately they still have the close support of the tanks under the mountain.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

And at this time, the devil artillery, which had adjusted the shelling parameters, also began to open fire, and the shells of the mountain artillery began to shell the positions of the Chinese defenders on the high ground as if they had eyes.

"His daughter's horse, the devil wants to use firepower to force our brothers."

"Order, mortar counterattack, give labor and management a hard shot at those shit."

On the pagoda mountain, looking at the torture suffered by the two highlands, Wang Ning couldn't sit still and gave orders loudly.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Wang Ning had eight mortars in his hands, and in Tangji, in addition to Feng Yi's hands and twelve mortars, the Chinese defenders no longer had mortars, and Feng Yi directly expropriated the mortars of the 87th Regiment and used them uniformly.

"Ahh

"Ahh

In this way, the two high ground suddenly became lively, the attacker and the defender were using shells, bombarding each other's soldiers, the difference is that the Chinese soldiers on the mountain have cover, although they are not bombed, they can cover a little, but the devils lying on the mountainside are uncomfortable, because they have no cover at all, and can only use their flesh to bear the impact of shrapnel.

"Artillery fire from Pagoda Mountain?"

In the rear, the devil officer held a telescope and looked at the artillery staff officer next to him with puzzled eyes.

"Yes, Your Excellency, it's a mortar, and it's too difficult for artillery to measure the trajectory, and it's difficult to counterattack."

The devil staff officer replied, mountain artillery can destroy mortar positions, but now he can't see the mortar positions, their vision is blocked by the high ground in front of them, then it is up to him to calculate, but that is not a simple matter, the most important thing is that the mortar positions are too easy to transfer, maybe by the time he calculates, the Chinese have long changed positions.

"Order the infantry to retreat and let the artillery and tanks continue the shelling."

The devil officer finally gave the order to retreat, he knew the terrain of the two highlands very well, and then it was good to watch the artillery show, and when the defenders on the highlands were almost dead, it would be good to send infantry to rush up.

"Can a two-pounder gun hit a tank over there?"

On the eastern position, Feng Ye held a telescope, and the devils had this advantage when attacking from this side, and the tanks could be lined up to support, and they no longer had to be restricted by the terrain.

"It's in range, but it's too far away, and the effect is not great, so you can only rely on Meng."

"It's better to bombard the mountaineering devils, so the effect may be better."

A platoon commander answered Feng Yi's question, the two-pounder gun is 40mm, and because of the barrel, the power of the shells is about the same as that of the British mortars, in terms of bombing infantry.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The devil withdrew, but the devil's mountain artillery and chariots were still shelling the high ground, and the shells kept falling on the position, taking the bodies of soldiers off from time to time.

"All retreat into bunkers, three platoon leaders, leave one squad, and blow the whistle when the devil infantry attacks."

The company commander on the battlefield shouted that the brothers should hurry into the bunker, and that they could do nothing to be bombed here, it would be a waste of the brothers' lives.

"Commander, this is a scoundrel's way of playing! If this continues, I am afraid that the brethren on the high ground will not be able to hold out for a few rounds. ”

Zhang Chuan put down the binoculars, he wanted Feng Yi to order the brothers to retreat, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Pick up Wang Ning."

Of course, Feng Ye knew that the two heights could not be defended, the devil did not charge, he was so consumed to fight, he was a little unbearable, his current use of troops had reached the limit, if he rashly transferred troops from several other directions, the devil would definitely change the direction of attack, and then his defense line would completely collapse, and there would be loopholes everywhere.

"Commander, it's connected!"

Inside the battalion headquarters, Feng Ye had just entered when the phone was connected.

"Wang Ning, let the brothers on the two heights in the east repel the next attack of the devils, and then withdraw to Pagoda Mountain, when you retreat, the two-pounder cannons on the eastern defense line will cover you; As for the artillery fire support of mortars, you yourself look at the give. ”

Feng Ye finally gave the order, he could see that the devils were now relying on those tanks, but unfortunately the tanks on Pagoda Mountain could not go up, even if the devils' tanks drove to the foot of the mountain to support, the defenders would be helpless as long as they gave up the first line of defense.

"In addition, before dawn tomorrow, there will be no troops to reinforce us, the brethren on the eastern line of defense cannot move, and at the critical moment, you can use the troops of the other two heights to return to help; If you don't have enough ammo, you will be replenished at night, so be careful yourself. ”

Feng Yi thought for a moment and told Wang Ning.

"Rest assured, the regiment commander, before dawn tomorrow, the position will definitely be in my hands."

Wang Ning let out a sigh of relief and put down the phone; He was afraid that Feng Yi would order him to defend the four heights to the death, so that his brothers would suffer heavy casualties, but as long as the devil was put on Pagoda Mountain, he would have many ways to deal with the devil.

"Send a report to the General Staff and the Commander's Department that the 56th Division is attacking Tangji with all its might, and the high ground around Baota Mountain is lost; Baota Mountain and Tangji are in danger, please send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Feng Yi held a telegram in his hand, and he could see from the battle on the high ground just now that the large army of devils had arrived, and they had sufficient troops to attack Baota Mountain and Tangji at the same time.
