The battlefield has become a mess, with blown-up corpses lying in the trenches, broken guns hanging with minced meat and blood, and a circle of dead Japanese soldiers lying around Yang Ling.
When these Japanese soldiers saw that Yang Ling was an officer, they wanted to kill him, but unexpectedly they kicked him onto an iron plate, and they all became Yang Ling's victims.
Yang Ling struck sharply and decisively. These dead Japanese soldiers were deadly with their swords. The blood flowing out from the bloody holes in their bodies soaked the soil, and the fluffy soil was mixed with a fishy smell.
Yang Ling leaned against the trench with a bloody bayonet in hand and gasped for breath. In his field of vision, the remaining Japanese soldiers were fleeing in a hurry into the distance. Liu Yidao, who had turned into a tower of blood, was leading his men in pursuit.
"Tell Liu Yidao to come back to me and stop chasing him."
Pursuing further, the Japanese army deployed who knows how many murderous firepower points. Yang Ling ordered Liu Yidao to retreat.
The communications soldiers who had been following Yang Ling immediately jumped out of the trench, shouting at the brothers who rushed out.
"Deputy Captain, it hurts a bit, bear with it."
Xizi, the health squad leader, squatted down in front of Yang Ling with a roll of bandages in his hand, tore off the wet clothes on his arms, and quickly bandaged the wound opened by the Japanese bayonet.
Although Yang Ling was the deputy commander, he did not stay behind during the battle, but took the lead. The officers and soldiers of the whole battalion played a very good leading role, which inspired them all.
Although it is very dangerous for the commander to take the lead in charging, and if there is a mistake, the troops will become leaderless, but in the 74th Army, the commander taking the lead in the charge is a continuation of the Huangpu tradition.
The battalion commander is killed in action, the company commander is replaced, and the company commander is killed in action and the squad leader is replaced. Although the officers suffer heavy casualties, there is an advantage to the troops fighting in this way, that is, they become stronger and stronger as they fight, becoming a hard-core unit.
Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion who followed from behind, followed the trench and found the panting Yang Ling. When he saw Yang Ling who had turned into a bloody gourd, he was shocked.
"Deputy commander, are you okay?"
Yang Ling's appearance shocked the first battalion commander Lu Xing. The battle had just begun. If the deputy commander died, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the army.
Yang Ling smiled and waved his hand: "It's all the kid's blood. I just got a gap in my arm from a bayonet."
First Battalion Commander Lu Xing felt relieved when he saw Yang Ling talking and laughing freely. Then he looked at the Japanese soldiers surrounding Yang Ling and took a deep breath.
Although I had long heard that Deputy Commander Yang was a murderer without batting an eyelid, he was not so amiable as usual. Now that I saw the corpses of the Japanese lying in disorder, I admired Yang Ling even more.
Yang Ling's third battalion was responsible for opening a channel for their attack, but their sudden advance was faster than their first battalion could run empty-handed. This made the commander of the first battalion, Lu Xing, feel extremely ashamed and at the same time, he admired Yang Ling even more.
"Battle Commander Lu, our Third Battalion has cleared the attack channel for you, and it's up to you to do the next step." Yang Ling pointed to the hilltop still occupied by the Japanese army and said.
This hilltop is not high. It is more like a slightly higher hill than a hilltop. However, in the unobstructed flat area around it, this is the commanding height. If you occupy this commanding height, you can Conduct fire suppression on the surrounding area.
If Yang Ling and his 301st Regiment wanted to successfully block the Japanese army near Huilongji, they had to seize the commanding heights and seize the initiative on the battlefield. Otherwise, they would have to sit in the trenches and be bombarded.
First Battalion Commander Lu Xing looked at the barbed wire fences and trench-dense highlands and said confidently: "Don't worry, Deputy Commander! Our First Battalion will never let you down!"
"Pay attention to the attacking echelon, don't rush upwards in a swarm, causing unnecessary casualties." Seeing the murderous look of the first battalion commander Lu Xing, Yang Ling reminded him uneasily.
Lu Xing smiled and said, "If we rush up like a swarm of swarms, wouldn't our training in the past few months be in vain? Don't worry, deputy captain, I know what to do."
Seeing Lu Xing's look, Yang Ling smiled mockingly to himself. It seemed that he was worrying too much. The brothers had been training for so long and had already transformed. This could be seen from this attack.
Although most of the team this time were new recruits, they trained hard on weekdays. It only took more than ten minutes to break through three Japanese trenches in succession, and the casualties were much less than before. If it had been last year, I am afraid that we would have to pay countless more
Even with twice the casualties, we couldn't conquer the 500-meter depth.
"Deputy Commander, can you lend the Japanese small steel cannons and infantry cannons you just captured to our camp?" Lu Xing chuckled, pointing to the weapons that the Japanese army had no time to take away.
"Take it and use it. We are all brothers in the same regiment, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, deputy captain!"
Lu Xing happily went to collect the infantry guns and grenade launchers abandoned by the Japanese army.
Liu Yidao, who was chasing the Japanese army, came back cursing. Before the communications troops could catch up with him, he was pushed back by a hail of bullets from the Japanese covering troops. However, he captured a lot and was covered in bullets.
Yang Ling's order was passed on, and the brothers began to clean the battlefield, collect ammunition, and remove things from the dead Japanese soldiers.
Since the Japanese invaded China, they have been rampant in conquering cities and territories. Even ordinary Japanese soldiers who have fought in several battles are very fat.
The backpacks of these Japanese soldiers were filled with gold, silver, jewelry and silver coins plundered from Chinese villages and towns. Naturally, the brothers would not let them go and put them all into their own pockets. Soon the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were stripped naked.
.
Although many brothers were fighting for the first time, even though they were scared to death when they first launched the assault, after the fierce battle, the feeling of discomfort quickly disappeared, and they joined the ranks of the veterans to clean up the battlefield.
The brothers' actions were carried out in an orderly manner, and machine gun fire points were set up everywhere. Some brothers stuck their buttocks out and began to dig foxholes and repair trenches. Shovel after shovelful of bloody and scorched earth was thrown out of the trenches.
The brothers of the third battalion cleared the Japanese troops at a depth of 500 meters, annihilated more than 150 Japanese troops, and seized countless supplies. Next, it was up to the first battalion, who consolidated and repaired their positions and prepared to watch the show.
Lu Xing's first battalion was responsible for launching an attack on the high ground. The Type 92 infantry guns borrowed from the third battalion and the regiment's machine guns and mortars were also pushed to the front and aimed at the hills.
There is already a trace of fresh green on the top of the mountain. The trenches dug by the Japanese army are winding between the tree trunks, and the muzzles of the heavy machine guns hidden under the bunkers can be vaguely seen.
"put!"
The First Battalion borrowed the help of the Third Battalion and captured several Type 92 infantry cannons from the Japanese. This type of infantry cannon, which could shoot both in a curved and direct direction, became a sharp weapon on the battlefield.
Following the order, the Type 92 infantry cannon, grenade launchers, heavy mortars and 20mm machine guns all opened fire. The powerful firepower rushed towards the high ground occupied by the Japanese army.
