The sound of the artillery was deafening, and the infantry artillery mounts vibrated and raised large plumes of smoke, which enveloped the gunners. There were distant coughs inside.
Those whistling artillery shells also flew high to the top of the mountain, and then exploded on the fortifications and bunkers. Bloody bodies, broken wood mixed with mud and sand flew up to the sky, and then rained on the top of the mountain.
"Boom-boom--"
The light and heavy machine guns hidden in the fortifications of the Japanese army also opened fire at the bottom of the mountain. The strings of flames spit out and swept across everything. The smoke column on the ground fell half a meter high, and the bunker vegetation was also torn into pieces under the raging rain of bullets.
fragments.
But the firepower of these light and heavy machine guns was ultimately not as good as the cannonballs that were thicker than arms. The cannonballs roared and tore through the mountains, sending mud and mist flying everywhere.
High-explosive bombs mixed with incendiary bombs all hit the mountain at once, and the smoke-filled mountain top immediately burst into flames. Black smoke filled the entire mountain top, as if it was enveloped by a large dark cloud.
In the shrouded smoke and dust, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns shone brightly and became particularly conspicuous.
"Aim and hit! Don't waste the shells!" The officers of the machine gun company ran around shouting at their hoarse throats.
The brothers wasted some shells, and they all began to adapt to the state. They aimed specifically at the fire points that were spitting flames, and knocked them all out one by one.
"Boom!"
While the brothers were fighting vigorously at the top of the hill, suddenly artillery shells flew over from the top of the hill and the Japanese positions on the west side. Immediately, a Type 92 infantry cannon and four or five brothers were blown to pieces, and blood flew out.
Let the ground become blood red.
The commander of the machine gun company was knocked down by the blast of air. He got up in disgrace and looked at the countless artillery shells flying over. He hurriedly shouted for retreat at the top of his lungs.
The brothers hurriedly started dragging various artillery pieces to hide in the trenches. With just a cup of tea, the initial artillery position was flattened by the Japanese artillery, which made those brothers who escaped the disaster terrified.
The brothers of the third battalion were nestled in the trenches watching the excitement, watching the brothers of the first battalion blasting the hilltops with cannons, and watching the Japanese soldiers being blown up to the sky. They clapped loudly and excitedly, but they never expected that they would be in a panic in an instant.
After being defeated, he secretly said that he was bored.
The Chinese army's half-baked artillery was really far behind the well-trained Japanese artillery. Although the artillery positions were destroyed, the hilltops were also burnt black, and the Japanese troops guarding the hilltops did not get any relief.
"Attack!" First Battalion Commander Lu Xing saw that it was almost done and gave the order to attack to the bugler beside him.
The bugler with a vicissitudes of life immediately puffed up his cheeks and blew the charge horn. This horn was familiar to the brothers. A company commander of the first offensive echelon of the 1st Battalion immediately shouted and climbed out of the trench.
A company of more than 100 brothers, as a team, rushed towards the mountain in a huge crowd. The loud slogans surprised the brothers of the third battalion who were watching the show in the trench not far away. What is this battalion like?
It became so powerful.
The leading company commander is a veteran who was recruited from the 87th German Arms Division. He has fought in Shanghai and Nanjing. He has fought with extraordinary bravery. At this moment, leading the charge, the brothers of the company are like wild wolves smelling the fishy smell.
, heading straight for the top of the mountain.
The fortification trenches on the top of the mountain had been completely blown away by the initial artillery fire. The remaining Japanese soldiers shrouded in thick smoke heard the roar of the mountain and the tsunami coming from the bottom of the mountain. When they looked over, they immediately started to roar.
"Da da da, da da da,"
Although the Japanese machine gunners were bombarded by a blast, they did not panic when facing the black charging troops, but fired three shots calmly.
Puff——
Although the brothers had trained the company's offensive tactics, the three-person attack team at the front was quickly enveloped in a hail of bullets, and was torn into pieces by the bullets before they even had time to scream.
The mutilated corpse rolled down the gentle slope of thorns and was stained with a bloody streak, but the brothers behind were not frightened.
The number of Japanese troops guarding the hilltop was not large, only fifty or sixty, so the team covered each other and continued to charge forward.
The team's Czech light machine guns were also set up upwards to cover the brothers who were charging upwards.
These brothers were not afraid of the oncoming ammunition at all. They climbed up with their helmets on their heads. Their hands and feet were quick and they quickly rushed to the middle of the mountain. They were less than 200 meters away from the Japanese fortifications on the top of the mountain. However, these two hundred meters were covered by a dense rain of bullets.
blocked.
The Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns were arranged very cleverly, creating an unpredictable fire network. Several assault groups wanted to risk their lives to charge, but they were all pushed back.
The machine gunners and grenade launchers at the back also followed. The grenade launchers were launched almost vertically at 90 degrees upwards. Several fire points were blown away by grenades. However, the Japanese army quickly recovered, leaving the attacking brothers unable to advance or retreat.
"Boom! Boom!"
The Japanese army was condescending and had an advantage over the attacking brothers. The Japanese troops hiding in the trenches could easily throw down melon grenades and blow up the brothers one by one. However, the brothers could not throw the grenades up and they would go down the gentle slope without paying attention.
Come back.
Bullets were flying everywhere, and the tree trunks on the attack path were riddled with holes. The green leaves fell one after another like rain, and the tree trunks became bare.
"Second echelon! Up!"
Seeing that the first offensive echelon was blocked, the first battalion commander Lu Xing, who was sweating profusely with anxiety, had to order the second echelon to enter the battlefield.
The brothers of the second echelon launched an attack along the left side of the hilltop, but like the first echelon, they reached the halfway point of the mountain and could no longer move forward.
Although the Japanese army at the top of the mountain only had a small force, it was extremely energetic. There were many light and heavy machine guns, and the roaring bullets could tear people to pieces.
Seeing that the attack was blocked, battalion commander Lu Xing had to mobilize the sniper platoon in the battalion. The sniper platoon was Yang Ling's pilot project in the regiment. All the brothers in the platoon were good at marksmanship.
They blended into the attacking ranks and began to take aim at the Japanese machine gunners manning machine guns and Japanese officers waving sabers.
puff!
A veteran in the sniper platoon took aim at a Japanese squad leader who was screaming, and shot his skull off with one shot, losing half of his head.
The continuous precise shooting at the top of the hill made the arrogant Japanese machine gunners on the top of the hill not dare to take the lead anymore. They kept sweeping randomly and throwing grenades more frequently.
Taking advantage of the weakening Japanese army, a platoon of brothers took the Japs' retreat and climbed up from behind the hill. Grenades opened the way and exploded randomly, causing chaos on the hill.
"Charge!" The teams attacking the mountain from all directions also launched a charge.
Those unkempt Japanese remnants with blood-red eyes and hoarse throats quickly fought with the Chinese soldiers who rushed up the mountain. Although they were fierce and tenacious, there was an infantry battalion attacking the mountain, and the Japanese army was continuously compressed to the last few
In a trench.
There was a harsh sound of motors in the sky, and several Japanese aircraft roared and flew in to help the battle. However, watching the melee on the hilltop, the soldiers from both sides did not dare to shoot or drop bombs, so they could only fly in circles to the position of Yangling's third battalion.
There were random explosions, and the angry brothers hid and cursed.
The Japanese army not far away rushed here again, trying to support the Japanese army on the hilltop, but Yang Ling and his third battalion were already on the alert. Although the Japanese army attacked fiercely, the position was impregnable.
The Japanese troops who tried to support watched helplessly as all their troops on the hilltop were annihilated. The blue sky and white sun flag was raised on the hilltop, and the brothers burst into loud cheers, celebrating their victory.
