Chapter 508
The captain next to him also stared at the battle behind him.
Before all the artillery troops were in place, the troops would definitely not be able to break the blocking positions that the National Rescue Army blocked the front.
Therefore, it is difficult to decide the outcome in a short period of time in the battle in front of everyone.
The battle for the highlands on the flanks is different. The troops on both sides rushed to the foot of the mountain, and you can see the winner and lose in a flash.
If your troops lose, the troops will face attacks from the National Salvation Army, and they will not be able to concentrate their troops and firepower to attack the front blocking positions, and there will be no chance to break out of the encirclement...
Holding the telescope, his eyes never left the offensive troops. He looked and prayed that they would run faster, and the National Savior Army on the other side of the high ground would run slower!
"Boom boom boom..."
Seeing a large number of fireballs suddenly popping up in the middle of the troops seizing the high ground, the offensive suddenly fell, and everyone stopped and lay on the ground. The empty hand of the corps captain and the brigade captain immediately clenched into fists and shouted in great rush: "Run quickly! Why do you stop? This is obviously a conspiracy of the National Salvation Army to slow down their attack speed!"
After waiting for a few seconds, the attacking troops' subsequent actions gave them a sigh of relief.
They were not completely blocked by artillery fire, but instead lay on the ground and crawled forward, crawling out of the artillery fire coverage area bit by bit, and continuing to seize the high ground.
Although the speed is a little slower, it is definitely better than doing nothing.
The subsequent attack seemed to be very smooth, and rushed out of the isolation belt that was blown out of the artillery fire. Dozens of soldiers encountered no resistance again, and they were unstoppable and successfully rushed to the high ground.
Just when they feel that the high ground is successfully seized by them and the winner of this battle has locked in them.
God made a big joke for them.
"Dadada..."
Suddenly there was a very dense exchange of fire at the top of the mountain, and then I saw the troops rushing to the top of the mountain being swept to the ground one by one.
Immediately afterwards, the explosion of "boom..." also sounded on the top of the mountain, and the dense fireballs were like fireworks, constantly rising on the high ground...
"Baga! The National Salvation Army has also rushed to the high ground. Our troops are fighting an encounter with them on the high ground!" The captain's face suddenly became very ugly, and he frowned and analyzed!
"There are too few troops we are rushing to the high ground, so we are definitely not opponents!" The captain of the regiment frowned.
The captain shouted anxiously: "The follow-up troops will rush up! If you don't go up to the high ground, you will be occupied by the enemy!"
At this time, the scene that the two people least wanted to see appeared.
The fifty or sixty soldiers who first rushed to the high ground were killed in just one minute, and then the high ground fell into a brief tranquility.
When fifty or sixty cavalrymen were about to rush to the high ground, eight machine gun fire tongues suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain.
The subordinates were like ripe wheat, and a large piece was cut down in an instant.
Although the living subordinates were lying on the ground as soon as possible, this reaction only allowed them to live for two or three seconds.
"Boom boom boom..." A large amount of fire and black smoke quickly rose in the middle of the crowd. It was caused by the explosion of the grenade, which instantly covered their figures, and then the violent explosion sounded to their ears.
"It's over..." the captain of the regiment shouted with a look of despair.
At this time, the remaining three high grounds also heard dense firefights.
Some firefights lasted for two or three minutes, while others lasted for ten minutes and had not ended.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Three heavy machine gun fire tongues suddenly appeared on the high ground where the ceasefire was first. The dull strafing sound only reached the ears of the corps captain and the captain.
Immediately afterwards, a scream came from behind them, and several soldiers fell to the ground for no reason, each with at least a blood hole the size of a fist.
"Sir, the enemy has mounted heavy machine guns on the top of the mountain and attacked us from a distance!" The captain's face turned pale quickly, and he looked at the captain of the regiment and asked anxiously.
The wing captain was escorted to a safe position by the guards and ordered: "Divide a few mortars to fight back immediately."
"The top of the mountain is only that big. Covering the top of the mountain with artillery fire can destroy the heavy machine guns on it!"
"The artillery fired quickly. Without heavy machine guns, the National Salvation Army equipped with pneumatic machine guns could not threaten us at such a long distance unless they directly attack us."
The captain quickly went to make arrangements, but in this way, the artillery fire of the Japanese attacking the single battalion blocking positions became weaker.
But the corps leader had no choice. The front and back attacks would seriously damage the morale and morale of the troops. The danger behind them must be lifted so that the troops could concentrate on attacking the front blocking positions. Otherwise, once the troops were trapped in battle at both ends, they would accomplish nothing and eventually be wiped out by the National Rescue Army.
"Boom boom boom..." The three mortars quickly roared, and three fireballs rose up in the high ground where the gun was ringing.
The shelling effect was immediate. Once the explosion sounded, the flames on the high ground disappeared!
Seeing this scene, the corps captain was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and the other two high grounds seemed to have been discussed, and at the same time, the annoying sound of heavy machine guns fired.
The screams of his subordinates followed him into his ears.
Less than fifty meters away, more than a dozen subordinates all fell to the ground in one go!
The corps captain's nerves that had just soothed were tense again and he was very anxious to order: "Draw six more mortars to attack the two high grounds where the guns were being fired. We must not let the enemy attack us from behind!"
Another captain became anxious after hearing this: "If the captain thinks twice and transfers six mortars away, there will be no mortars to support the offensive troops. Without artillery fire cover, they will definitely not be able to break through the defense line of the National Salvation Army!"
The captain of the regiment believed in his judgment very much and felt that the attack from behind was the most dangerous.
Staring at the captain's decisive order: "Execute the order and do not relieve the crisis behind everyone. Even with artillery fire cover, the offensive troops dare not do their best to assault forward!"
The captain was silent for a moment and replied: "Sir, wise, let's make arrangements now!"
This time the artillery effect of the subordinates was far from satisfying the wing captain.
As soon as the six mortars were fired, dozens of fireballs rose from the artillery position.
In the splashing flames, dozens of gunners were blown over, and the mortar was blown up in a mess. Another cannon was directly blown into the sky and smashed into a pile of scrap iron when it landed on the ground.
Faced with this accident, all the officers showed despair on their faces.
Seeing more and more artillery soldiers killed, the wing captain's reaction was the most exaggerated, and he opened his mouth and sat on the ground with his butt. He murmured to himself: "It's over, this time we're really finished!"
Perhaps to prove his judgment, dull heavy machine gun strafing sounds were heard from all four high grounds around.
Artillery units were bombed in artillery fire, and ordinary infantry were stared at by more than ten heavy machine guns. Every minute, a large number of soldiers were killed and bombed.
"Dididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididid
The loud charge completely cut off the hope of the captain's desire to break out of the encirclement.
A large number of soldiers rushed out of the four high grounds at the same time, holding light machine guns and holding rifles, like a group of hungry wolves, yelling at the corps captain.
"Captain of the Protection Unit, let's rush out from the front!" shouted the guard captain.
This sentence brought the captain next to him back to reality from shock.
Seeing that there were at least four hundred people gathered around him and nearly two hundred attacking troops, he decided to fight and use his military strength to rush again.
He pulled out his command knife and pointed at the blocking position of the only battalion and shouted: "Everyone rushed forward, don't stop!"
"This is our only hope for survival. If we break through the blocking position of the National Salvation Army, we can survive and kill us!"
The attack from behind made all the Japanese realize the danger. When they heard the order to break through, they were like crazy people with red eyes, holding guns and rushing forward.
The soldiers in front fell down, and the soldiers behind continued to rush forward stepping on the body, not taking their lives seriously at all.
The single battalion blocked the position, the barrel of the heavy machine gun was almost red, and the Japanese army continued to rush forward.
Each light machine gun has no less than two barrels, and the machine gunner's shoulders are also numb by the powerful recoil generated by the machine gun shooting, and the bullet shells generated by the shooting are all in a pile.
The battalion commander of the only battalion, He Feng, also joined the battle with a light machine gun.
The original owner of the machine gun has been sacrificed.
Facing the Japanese's life-threatening fighting style, the only battalion also has to withstand huge damage.
The Japanese have very strong combat power, and they are even stronger when they are desperate.
The soldiers in front used their bodies as shields as bullets, while the soldiers in the back took the opportunity to shoot at the blocking positions of the National Rescue Army, consuming the strength of the blocking troops.
Their shooting skills were very accurate. Even though they fired during the attack, a large number of soldiers were still killed, especially machine gunners who shot light and heavy machine guns. The battle became the focus of the Japanese shooting targets from the beginning.
The Japanese army in front bought time for the soldiers behind to shoot at the cost of their own lives. When they died, the soldiers immediately following them continued to use their bodies as shields to provide shooting opportunities for the soldiers behind them.
Every time a row of soldiers falls, the attacking troops can advance two meters forward.
Through this kind of attack that fought for life, although the attacking troops lost nearly 200 people, they successfully reached a position 100 meters in front of the formation!
The desperate corps leader seemed to have seen the opportunity to break through the National Salvation Army to block the position. Although he had not yet recovered to the level of high fighting spirit, he had already gained a lot of confidence and confidence. He pulled out his command knife while rushing, shouting to encourage his subordinates to rush forward.
The encouragement of the corps captain is like chicken blood, which makes the remaining Japanese more excited and makes the rushing more exciting!
The commander of the single battalion, He Feng, had transferred four machine gun positions and fired almost 200 bullets. The two companies were almost half of the casualties, and the Japanese army had no intention of retreating. This was the first time he had encountered such a desperate Japanese.
Faced with this kind of road, he had already made plans to fight the Japanese to the end.
On the high ground where Zhou Cheng was, he didn't expect the Japanese army to do this for him at the last moment.
In his plan, the Japanese army would definitely divide their troops to break through, but they actually formed a group and forced their way through the front, which was far beyond his expectations.
