At around 8:30 in the morning, the artillery squadron of the 35th Regiment of the Japanese Army and dozens of 75mm artillery attached to each squadron gathered again and fired violently at the blocking position on the left side of the mountain on Shentouling.

This time, the Japanese artillery shells were greatly supplemented and the time for artillery bombing was greatly extended.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..." The continuous shells roared like lightning, pouring down the mountains overwhelmingly.

The Japanese artillery was quite accurate, and most of the shells fell around the blocking positions on the mountainside.

The shells landed around the blocking position like thunder, and the positions were exploding in front, back, left and right. The huge bomb shock wave brought out countless soil, as if they wanted to bury the enemy troops on the mountains.

The strange screams of shrapnel tearing the air and destroying trees gnaw on people's nerves like jagged. As time goes on, people on the position can't bear this painful torment.

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

However, although the shells exploded on the positions, there was no movement from the Indonesian xenophobic army on the blocking positions halfway up the mountain.

The 35th Regiment Captain Hiroyo Watanabe held up a telescope and stood beside the squadron leader of the mountain cannon squadron. Looking at the flames rising on the mountains, he clenched his fists and cursed: "The enemy troops in Bageya Road are very cunning, and they will be blown to me if they die, and they will be blown hard."

The artillery squadron leader frowned and looked at the Japanese officers and soldiers who were about to launch an attack in front of him, and hesitated to Hiroyo Watanabe: "Colonel, the 4th squadron of the 2nd Brigade will launch a decisive charge without waiting for the artillery to stop. I am afraid that the artillery artillery will cause great accidental injuries."

Hiroyoshi Watanabe shouted sternly: "Don't you understand that only in this way can you capture the enemy's positions at the lowest cost?"

"Hi, humble and rude." The artillery squadron leader hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake.

It turned out that after the battle yesterday afternoon, Japanese commanders such as Hiroyo Watanabe and Asoro Kobayashi discovered that the Indonesian xenophobia army on the mountains were very cunning and entered the position after their own artillery bombardment.

After the first brigade failed in the early morning raid, the 35th Regiment lost almost half of its troops.

At this time, the significance of capturing and defending the mountain on the left side of Shentou Ridge with a meager force is very important. Because after occupying this mountain, when the subsequent troops arrive, they can quickly occupy Shentou Village and nearby villages and open up the road to rescue the 19th Regiment.

Of course, the most important thing is to capture the main force of the Indonesian xenophobic army. After destroying this army, South Borneo can fall into Japan's pocket.

If the advantageous terrain of Shento Village cannot be captured before the division commander Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto arrived, he will not be able to capture the favorable terrain of Shento Village, except for committing suicide by separatism, Watanabe Hiroshi no longer explains to the upper level.

Therefore, Hiroyo Watanabe ordered the 4th Squadron of the 2nd Battalion to be in front, and the 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Battalion to take over. Without waiting for the shelling to end, he charged at the positions of the Indonesian xenophobic army to take down the enemy's positions in one fell swoop.

After more than 20 minutes of bombardment, all the officers and soldiers of the 4th Squadron, who had their clothes covered with menstruation on their heads, and under the leadership of the squadron leader Oda, charged towards the mountains on the left side of Shentouling with a decisive look on their faces.

Although the Japanese army also conducted the tactical training of "infantry and artillery coordination, barrage Xu Jin", it was not perfect enough. In addition, it was attacking mountains, so it was more difficult to coordinate infantry and artillery.

Therefore, when the officers and soldiers of the 4th Squadron rushed to about 100 meters from the mountainside to the blocking position, the officers and soldiers were constantly hit by artillery fire or injured by the soil splashed by artillery fire.

Fortunately, it was getting closer and closer to the enemy's position, and the mountain artillery squadron also stopped the artillery bombardment in time.

When the "Killing Gift" was only more than 50 meters left, Oda pulled out his command knife and shouted wildly.

More than 200 Japanese officers and soldiers of the 4th squadron immediately made a wolf howling sound and rushed to the blocking position halfway up the mountain. The 3rd squadron subsequently accelerated the follow-up pace.

"Yoxi succeeded." Seeing that the 4th Squadron rushed into the enemy's position without any obstacles, Hiroyoshi Watanabe shouted ecstatically. Read the latest and most complete novel http://eng.com/
