"The little devil is retreating! The little devil is retreating!"
The first attack ended with the defeat of the Japs. Seeing the Japs soldiers disappearing like a tide, some brothers shouted excitedly.
"Ceasefire! Ceasefire!"
The officers, whose bodies were blackened and stained with blood, also shouted and ordered their brothers to cease fire.
The brothers who were constantly pulling the bolts of their guns to fire heard the shouts of the officers, and then they looked over and saw that the screaming Japanese were retreating into the distance.
Seeing that the little devil was really beaten back by them, some brothers cheered loudly with joy.
But more of the brothers relaxed their tight nerves and let go of the guns in their hands as if they were out of strength. They turned over and lay on their backs on the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke and blood, breathing heavily.
The hustle and bustle of the battlefield suddenly turned into the sound of gunshots and taunts. Yang Ling also held up his binoculars to observe and found that the Japanese were really repelled by them. He finally felt relieved.
With an infantry battalion lacking heavy weapons facing a powerful Japanese infantry brigade, even Yang Ling felt really unsure.
Fortunately, the Japs despised them and only sent two squadrons to attack. Even so, they had a difficult time. If the Japs had made a desperate move, they might have lost this position.
"Each company seizes the time to rescue the wounded! Leave observation posts behind! The rest of the people must retreat to the anti-gun trenches!"
Yang Ling knew the Japanese attack tactics very well, so after he regained his composure, he quickly issued the order.
The brothers supported each other and retreated to the anti-gun trenches at the rear. The brothers in the medical platoon also hurriedly carried the wounded down. The position was tense and busy.
Yang Ling and others repelled the attack of a Japanese squadron head-on, and the squadron outflanking them was also crippled by their mine warfare.
Although the brothers suffered heavy casualties, they were able to defeat the Japanese in general. Their faces were filled with smiles and they were full of respect for the commander Yang Ling.
As a soldier, they are lucky to be able to follow a commander who always leads them to win battles, because only by constantly winning battles will the chance of survival be higher.
The brothers were full of joy for repelling the Japanese, but Yang Ling was not happy. He knew that with the little Japanese's unyielding character, if the loss was so big this time, the revenge would be even more brutal and violent.
"Old company commander, count the brothers who can still fight and regroup!"
"Yes!" Deputy Battalion Elder Yanqiang went along the trench to count people.
"Brothers, the Japs will attack again soon. Those who are out of ammunition should supplement each other and be ready for battle!"
Yang Ling crouched in the trench and shouted, telling the brothers not to relax, as the fierce battle is still behind them.
While Yang Ling and the others were actively preparing for the new battle, the atmosphere on the Japs' position seemed a bit dignified and solemn.
Japanese Lieutenant Colonel Ono Ichiro was no longer as ecstatic as he was at the beginning. He looked at the cold and stiff corpse on the stretcher with a cold expression on his face.
He originally thought that what he had to face was just a group of defeated soldiers, but he never expected that the Chinese army he faced was so powerful.
Not only did it knock his powerful squadron into disarray, it also caused the roundabout Akiyama squadron to lose nearly a hundred men.
Even Captain Akiyama, the commander of the Akiyama Squadron, was killed in action. The feeling of stealing chicken but losing rice made Ono Ichiro's chest burn with raging anger, but he had nowhere to vent it.
"Carry it down." Seeing that his capable men were killed in the battle, Ono Ichiro's face twitched slightly, and his fingers made a squeaking sound.
Looking at the smoke-filled mountain top, with the broken blue sky and white sun flag still flying intact, he wished he could tear the opponent into pieces.
"Chief Ono, there are not many Chinese troops on the top of the mountain. There is probably only one infantry battalion, but they are very cunning. They are all hiding behind the mountain. We can't see them..."
The disgraced Captain Koi looked at the mountains littered with corpses and gritted his teeth with hatred.
The strength of their squadron was usually enough to defeat several Chinese infantry battalions, but in the face of the small number of Chinese troops hiding behind the mountains, they failed this time, which made him very unwilling.
However, the reverse slope trenches built by Yang Ling and others were not only able to avoid artillery fire, but also guarded the ridges, so that the bullets fired upwards by the little devils would cross the ridges and hit the sky if they were not careful. They were very helpless.
"Shut up!"
Lieutenant Colonel Ono Ichiro was already in a bad mood. Hearing his subordinates chattering incessantly, he interrupted him impatiently.
He originally wanted to seize the Chinese army position opposite in one fell swoop and trample his rival Sen's heavy army under his feet.
However, the Chinese army's tenacious resistance prevented them from achieving enough results to show off. Instead, they became the laughing stock of the Mori Brigade. This made Ono Ichiro very angry.
"Call the aviation aircraft, I will turn the Chinese army's positions into ruins!"
The heavy losses made Ono Ichiro's eyes filled with bloodthirsty madness. He wanted revenge! Vengeance fiercely!
"Every squadron is ready! After the bombing, all attack! I will personally cut off the head of the commander of the China Army!"
Ono Ichiro looked at the broken flag fluttering on the top of the mountain, his face full of anger.
The attack of Ono Ichiro's team was blocked, and Morishige, who was watching the battle from behind, finally let out a bad breath.
They suffered heavy losses and were severely humiliated and ridiculed by Ono Ichiro. Now that he saw Ono Ichiro defeated, he naturally liked to see it.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army on the opposite side really surprised him. It was able to withstand such a fierce attack. He became more and more interested in the other side's commander.
Soon, a thunderous roar came from the sky again, and six Japanese bombers flew over the mountains again, dropping heavy bombs one after another.
"Boom!"
The explosion of the heavy bomb set off a wave of fire and gas that destroyed everything. In the explosion that shook the earth and the mountains, the entire mountain range was shrouded in smoke and dust.
Yang Ling and the others were not so lucky this time. Bombs fell on several artillery-proof bunkers. With a loud bang, the wood and soil covering the bunkers were blown up into the sky.
A class of brothers were turned into pieces in the flames of the explosion. The smiles on their faces froze. Feeling the violent tremors, each one of them stopped talking in a dull manner.
The explosion continued, and the entire mountaintop was shaking with rocks and rocks, amidst the roar.
This time, before the explosion at the top of the mountain was over, a group of nearly a thousand little Japs came forward with murderous intent.
"Enter the position! Hurry!" Yang Ling saw that the bombing was over and immediately urged the brothers to enter the position.
When they rushed to the ridgeline and saw the waves of Japanese coming, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
This time, Yang Ling was not prepared to move closer and fight. There were too many Japs. With their density of firepower, if they moved closer and fight again, they were just looking for death.
But when they were preparing nervously and saw that the Japs' vanguard was about to enter the shooting range, suddenly the Japs turned around and ran away with murderous intent.
"Vice-General, why did the Japs escape?" Looking at the Japs who suddenly turned around and retreated, the brothers, all monks two feet tall, were confused.
