Chapter 240: Caught in two directions

"This grandson still has the mentality of being idle and engaging in others." Liao Mingyu in the trench shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Ah Yi! How are the troops arranged? ”

"Rest assured, the regiment commander, the fourth battalion is ready." Ah Yi replied immediately.

"Well, the guard battalion will be the main attacker later, and the fourth battalion will respond from the side, and the recruits will adapt to two more battles."

Ah Yi smiled, there were some small problems in the fourth battalion when attacking the second defense position, and a few recruits were scared to pee and turned around and ran back, but fortunately, their company commander found out early, and directly rewarded a peanut.

Ah Yi also blamed himself a little for this, in fact, the fourth battalion and the third battalion were mostly recruits, but he didn't have the ability of Chen Jize to train these raw melons and eggs to scream, and the overall combat effectiveness of the fourth battalion was far from that of the third battalion.

At this time, Yu Xiaoqing also arrived at the front line, and he immediately found Liao Mingyu to discuss the next attack.

"Commander Liao, I'm sorry I'm late" Yu Xiaoqing felt very ashamed, and now he brought someone over to somewhat steal the fruits of victory, although he was not to blame for this matter.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being late for a good meal, I can guess what Commander Zhong did." Liao Mingyu put down the binoculars and said pointedly, although he had only met Zhong Bin once, he had already figured out the latter's temperament.

Alas... Yu Xiaoqing was noncommittal, and slightly sighed slightly to divert the topic: "I brought two regiments over, when can I launch an attack?" ”

"Wait a minute, don't worry about closing the door and beating the dog."

"What are you waiting for?"

Yu Xiaoqing was puzzled, it stands to reason that the reinforcements of the Japanese army are rushing to Nantianmen at a rapid pace, and the battle should be resolved quickly, otherwise when their reinforcements arrive, the situation will not be easy to say.

"Hehe, I'm waiting for them." Liao Mingyu smiled mysteriously and pointed to the sky above his head.

……

"Liula, the food is cold, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it."

In the artillery position of the Sacrifice Flag Slope, Krupp sat on the gun rack and pulled the food in the bowl, his fat hands were still wrapped in gauze, and the skin on his palms was worn out by operating the artillery for a long time.

"Dead fatty, how many shells do we have?" Li Liansheng was holding a telescope nervously observing the situation on the other side.

"There are 63 rounds of 105 and only 26 rounds of 155, and a few white phosphorus bombs." Krupp said without raising his head, he remembered exactly the number of shells.

"Damn, it's less than half of the base, and we'll have to take a break after this round of fire." Li Liansheng preached worriedly.

Krupp thought about it and thought about it, and instantly felt that the food in his hand was no longer fragrant, and looked at the ground and thought about what to do about this problem.

"By the way, aren't there still more than a dozen 120mm mortars in the warehouse of the Zhendong camp, you can pull them over."

Li Liansheng slapped his thigh and thought of this stubble, those idle heavy mortars could just come in handy.

"No, the distance is too far, 120 guns can only hit halfway up the mountain, and it is impossible to reach the top of the mountain." Krupp dismissed his idea at once.

"What the is going to do? Isn't this the end of the calf! ”

Li Liansheng was so anxious that he walked around, and at this time, there was a sudden roar of planes in the sky, and he looked up... Six fighter jets emerged from the clouds and were sweeping in the direction of Nantianmen.

"Battalion commander! Battalion commander! News is coming from the front, let's open fire right away. The liaison officer in the back hurriedly came to report.

Krupp jumped off the shelf in an instant, and when he didn't eat, he hurriedly ran to the gun position and opened the ammunition box.

"All artillery in place!"

……

12:23 p.m.

The last shells of the Sichuan Corps bombarded the Japanese army's three-defense positions, and together with the artillery of the Yu Division, they were not to be outdone, and all the artillery on the entire east bank was in full swing, which can be said to be the highest artillery density since the battle.

The little devil's position was completely covered by countless shells in an instant, and the firepower was so dense that two or three shells hit a single impact point at the same time, and the deafening explosion resounded in the sky.

Although the three-story main forts of the Japanese army were not afraid of large-caliber artillery attacks, those small machine fortresses were not so hard, and several consecutive shells could tear them apart.

The communication trenches connecting the main fort group have been changed beyond recognition, as if they had been plowed through by an iron rake, and if a person was directly hit by 155 howitzers, there would be nothing left, leaving only a huge crater several meters wide in its place.

"Whew......"

The shelling, which had lasted for 10 minutes, gradually subsided, and a flare suddenly appeared in the sky with bright red smoke.

"Rush!"

"Sichuan Legion, kill!"

The hillside is boiling! The fighters, led by their respective company platoon commanders, launched a fearless charge against the Japanese positions!

"The mortars continue to fire, Cui Yong! The heavy machine gun company kept the fire suppressed, the second and third companies were covering, and the first and fourth companies were rushing at me! ”

Meng was annoyed and raised his arms and shouted, and at the same time, a battalion in the direction of the tree fort was like the tiger descending from the mountain, fiercely rushing towards the main fort group.

Because of the addition of Yu's division, Liao Mingyu decisively let the fourth battalion, which had no experience in attacking fortifications, withdraw from the battlefield. The terrain on the hill was limited, and it was impossible for the troops of several thousand men to be deployed in full, so the skirmish line was not wide but spaced very long.

The guard battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness was still in the center, and the two battalions with the three regiments of the Yu Division on the two flanks were advancing steadily, and the reserves in the rear were ready to follow up and support at any time.

"Ha pressure Ku Ha pressure Ku! Everyone enters the position and immediately returns fire! ”

"Infantry artillery fire!"

The Japanese soldiers quickly came out of the tunnel, and countless heads instantly appeared on the originally empty three-defense position. 92 heavy machine guns, grenadiers, 37 anti-aircraft guns, 92 infantry guns... The little devils used all the heavy weapons they could use, desperately blocking the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion who rushed towards them.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Boom ......"

Although the heavy artillery stopped, the 60 and 81 support mortars of the Sichuan Army continued to fire at the devil's position, and the two heavy machine guns arranged by Liao Mingyu on the second defense kept firing at the front, and the terrifying barrage of M2 heavy machine guns suppressed the enemy so that he did not dare to come forward.

"Poof!"

"Oo......oo

The battle began to heat up, with both sides desperately fighting, and the attacking soldiers fell one by one, but more comrades rushed forward one after another.

"Bang bang ......!"

"Huh... Woohoo"

The Japanese were caught in fire from both ends, and often a soldier could only fire two shots before he was beaten beyond recognition by the rain of bullets, and only those strong permanent bunkers could survive this dense barrage.

The most stressful are the soldiers of the guard battalion, they have to face strafing from those machine gun fortresses, the charging distance of more than 100 meters is like the road to purgatory, the guns of the devils are the devil's ghosts, and countless soldiers are unwilling to fall in a pool of blood.

"Spread out between the groups, don't stop and keep rushing!"

A squad leader with a submachine gun in his hand ran out of a magazine at the front bunker firing hole, and the fighters kept approaching in a three-three formation.

Seeing that there were still 50 meters left, the squad leader's eyes lit up and shouted back: "Erdou!" Knock that bunker out of Lao Tzu! ”
