Chapter 439: Bloody Battle on the Hillside

After five minutes of continuous bombardment, the artillery regiment began to reduce the frequency of shelling and extend the fire net to the rear of the enemy.

At this time, Long Wen gave the order to attack on all fronts, and the 1st and 2nd Main Regiments advanced south from Xibu, while the 200th Division was divided into two, cooperating with the 3rd Main Regiment and the Engineer Regiment to attack the main Japanese positions from the southwest of Lashio.

Before the Japanese could catch their breath, countless Chinese soldiers rushed towards their positions with shouts. Platoon mortars began to use their power to cover the infantry advance, and tanks and armored vehicles took the lead on the main communication routes, cutting through the seemingly impregnable fortifications.

"Let the infantry of the three regiments hurry up and keep up, here is not comparable to the plains, pay attention to the enemy's sneak attack from both sides!"

"Pay attention to the speed of each vehicle and be sure to move in sync with the infantry."

In the tank command vehicle, Yuan Li used radio to direct the operation and deployment of each convoy, and it was impossible to achieve a large-scale concentrated assault in the jungle, so tanks and armored vehicles could only be used as support weapons to accompany the infantry in their actions, providing fire support as much as possible and reducing the losses of the infantry.

The engine made a loud roar accompanied by billowing smoke, and this time the tank battalion and 200 mechanized troops acted together, and more than seventy tanks of various types were scattered among several main attack forces, crushing the little devils.

The fighter planes in the sky returned to the battlefield after a round of refueling, whistling past overhead.

"Respective Position, Machine Gunner Ready!"

"Be hidden, bring up the ammo box!"

"Hey!"

……

On the Japanese position, countless little devils shuttled back and forth in the trenches under artillery fire, the enemy was already approaching, and nervous emotions occupied everyone's hearts.

"Ryota! 何してるの? Why don't you hurry up and come over to me! ”

"Huh? Know... Got it. ”

Under the watchful eye of the team leader, Liangtai, who was hiding in the corner of the anti-artillery fortifications, reluctantly came out, but his dodging eyes were scolded by the former:

"Yaga! Like a coward, you have lost the face of the Empire! ”

"Hey!" Ryota could only bow his head and bear it, but he was already frightened in his heart.

Just now, he saw with his own eyes that the veteran who was talking to him was blown in two by a shell, and countless of his companions were turned into minced meat in the shelling, if he hadn't run fast... The same is true for the estimates.

The comrades-in-arms around him did not taunt him, because at this moment everyone is almost the same, no one is not nervous, cowardly before fighting, and fear has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...

In the face of the enemy's terrifying firepower, not to mention a recruit like him, who has only been in the army for a few months, even veterans who have fought for seven or eight years have no bottom in their hearts, and even they know better what kind of bloody battle they will encounter next.

"The Huaxia people are here!"

I don't know who shouted first, everyone immediately pointed their guns at the outside of the trench, and before they could react, the other party had already pointed their guns at them...

Rumble!

"Ahh

A tank shell instantly blasted a gap in the trench, and several unlucky eggs were blown away on the spot, followed by a dense burst of bullets, a large amount of dust splashed on the sandbags, and the outcropping little devils fell to the ground one by one and died.

"Fire!" The squad leader immediately drew his katana and shouted with fanatical eyes.

The battle was extremely fierce, several heavy machine gun fire points on the Japanese position spewed fire snakes, and in the trenches... The little devil's 38 rifle, Type 99, and grenadier canisters desperately beckoned down the mountain... Although they are all old weapons, they still burst out with a powerful firepower network.

Although there are not many trees on the mountain, the mountain is rugged, and it is basically difficult for the Sherman tank to climb up, so it can only stay below to serve as fire support.

"Company Commander Zhao, the tank can't go up, but we have a few Greyhound armored vehicles coming here, they can attack with the infantry, don't rush too fast later, pay attention to cooperation."

The leader was the three regiments and one battalion, and the battalion commander Zhao Deshui patted Sherman beside him and said gratefully: "Okay! Good work, brother! ”

The commander of the tank company on the Sherman turret nodded to him and got back into the car.

"Pass my order, and later the first company will cooperate with the brothers of the chariot battalion to launch a frontal attack, the second company will be in the center, and the third company will act as a reserve, and the guard platoon, follow me!"

After arranging the tactical plan, Zhao Deshui personally led people to rush to the front line, and he was bound to take this mountain in the shortest possible time.

The mortar battery of the first battalion was already in place, and the fighters were not in a hurry, waiting for the arrival of the Greyhound tank. Courage is needed, but there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices at this time, and winning at the lowest cost is the best tactic.

"Mortar company, one minute of rapid fire! Ready..."

"All tanks, smoke grenades ready!"

"Fire!"

Boom, boom, boom......

60-mm mortars and 81-mm mortars, as fire support weapons at the company and battalion level, can follow the infantry to the front line of the battlefield and inflict a fatal blow on the enemy at a position of four or five hundred meters.

The Japanese position was once again surrounded by artillery shells, and the explosions were scattered with dirt, and the little devil was so blown up by this sudden fire that he couldn't lift his head.

Zhao Deshui stared at the pocket watch in his hand, and at the same time silently pinched the time in his heart, he wanted to use the half minute before the shelling stopped to fight a small-scale infantry artillery coordination.

Just after 30 seconds, he immediately pulled out his pistol and opened fire into the sky, raising his arms and shouting, "Brothers! Come on! ”

"Kill!"

The fighters shouted slogans and rushed forward, and the offensive tactics between the squads and platoons were still dominated by three-person squads, but this time they used armored vehicles as the core, accompanied by the slow advance of the vehicles, and constantly destroyed the enemy's living forces in the process of attacking, reducing their own losses.

The tail of the five Greyhound armored vehicles spewed out huge black exhaust fumes, and they slowly rushed forward with the infantry, and the dexterous bodies could maintain good maneuverability even on such hillsides.

The devil also realized that the enemy had begun to attack, but the enemy's shelling still did not stop, and the Japanese soldiers in the trenches did not dare to show their heads and fire at all, only a few machine gun pillboxes were not afraid of shells and kept firing at the crowd below.

"Be hidden! Try to use armored vehicles as cover! ”

Although the three-man tactical team was very scattered, many fighters were hit by a sudden burst of bullets during the charge, and the commanders of each squad and platoon hurriedly arranged the direction of the attack, while beckoning the soldiers to counterattack.

Rumble! Rumble!

The Greyhound armored car is equipped with it

At this moment, several smoke grenades
