The little Japanese set up tanks and armored vehicles at the foot of the mountain, and Leng Tiefeng knew he was in trouble.
War has its own iron laws and the use of tactics. The quality of officers and soldiers can affect the laws to a certain extent, but there is no way to fundamentally change the laws. The most basic law of war is the use of firepower!
Since mankind entered the era of hot weapons, the use of firepower has been the basic rule for victory on the battlefield.
The so-called tactics, fundamentally speaking, are just to use the firepower advantage more effectively, or to weaken the opponent's firepower advantage to the greatest extent, and the quality of the soldiers, in a sense, is also to better use the firepower advantage.
Firepower advantage, an obvious fact is that well-trained soldiers can control firepower more effectively.
Previously, the reason why the Third Guard Battalion was able to rely on the advantage of the terrain to block the infantry and tank coordination of the Japs was the use of heavy machine gun firepower, plus the close proximity of death squads for blasting. Fundamentally speaking, this was a matter of relying on reasonable tactics and soldiers.
Excellent qualities, a classic example of how to use firepower.
However, now, when the Japanese put tanks and armored vehicles into the attack on the hills on both sides, Leng Tiefeng's carefully constructed side firepower immediately lost its use. From now on, the heavy machine gun firepower built on the reverse slope of the mountain
, there is no way to cause effective damage to the little devil.
On the contrary, from this moment on, the defenses of the Third Guard Battalion were completely exposed to the heavy firepower of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. Moreover, the hilltop of Eruniang Slope was very sharp and there was no platform, so the defenders had no choice.
Shrink the defensive position behind the mountain ridge to avoid damage from enemy tanks and armored vehicles.
This also means that with the help of the fire cover of the tank's main gun and the armored vehicle's heavy-duty machine gun, the Japanese on the left and right wings can launch an unscrupulous upward attack on Erniang Slope. The mine array that has been deployed can only be used once, and it will be gone after it is exploded.
Well, you can't possibly plant mines against the main guns of Japanese tanks and the heavy machine guns of armored vehicles, right?
The effect of grenades is better than nothing. It is impossible to repel the Japanese attack with grenades alone.
What happened next was exactly as Leng Tiefeng had expected. With the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, at least one squadron of Japanese soldiers launched an upward attack along the hillside towards Erguniang Slope. The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles parked at the foot of the mountain were soon
The angle of fire was well controlled to ensure that the firepower could cover the garrison position on the top of the mountain without accidentally injuring the Japanese soldiers below the mountainside.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Third Guard Battalion guarding the top of the mountain were very passive. Just hide in the trenches. You can only watch the Japanese infantry coming up little by little. If you step forward to block it, the firepower of the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles will immediately
It poured out from the foot of the mountain and hit you so hard that you couldn't even lift your head.
The third guard battalion has two mortars. If the infantry support firepower at the foot of the mountain is only heavy machine guns, you can also try to use mortars to counterattack. But now the infantry support firepower at the foot of the mountain is tank guns and armored vehicle-loaded machine guns.
The artillery detachment of the third battalion really had nothing to do.
Unless it is a large-caliber heavy mortar, it will not be able to do anything to the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
The Japs were swarming up the hillside like a swarm of ants. Leng Tiefeng on the hilltop on the right could still hold his breath and strictly ordered the officers and soldiers of the first company not to show their heads, so as not to become easy targets for the Jaap tanks and armored vehicles at the foot of the hill. But Gong Haifeng on the hilltop on the left
But he couldn't keep his temper, and before the Japanese infantry reached the mountainside, he ordered the officers and soldiers of the second company to fire back.
The second company's three crooked-handled light machine guns and more than a hundred 38-guns were on full fire at all times.
In the first few seconds, a dozen Japanese soldiers were indeed knocked down, but the good times did not last long. The Japanese tank parked at the foot of the mountain opened fire first. With only two shots, it knocked out the two machine guns of the second company. Waiting for the Japanese
The armored vehicle's heavy-duty machine gun also opened fire violently, and the dense rain of bullets instantly created streaks of smoke on the defensive position of the second company.
In an instant, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were unable to escape and fell under the barrage of Japanese armored vehicles.
After suffering a loss, the officers and soldiers of the Second Company also learned the lesson, no longer took the lead, and hid in the trenches quietly waiting for the Japanese to come up.
In less than five minutes, the panting Japs crossed the mountainside. Leng Tiefeng and Gong Haifeng detonated landmines at the same time, causing considerable damage to the attacking Japs. However, after a brief period of confusion, the Japs left behind injured soldiers.
, but the remaining Japanese soldiers continued to rush up the mountain without fear of death.
When approaching the top of the mountain, Leng Tiefeng and Gong Haifeng gave orders, and grenades were thrown down from the top of the mountain like raindrops, and then exploded continuously on the hillside. Unfortunately, the guard camp was equipped with black powder grenades originally produced by the Dameishan Arsenal.
The lethality was very limited, the scene looked lively, but not many Japanese were actually killed.
Moreover, the Japs' skirmisher lines are also very wide, so the killing effect is even more limited.
The use of grenade fire only stopped the Japanese for less than five minutes.
Soon the little devils got up one after another, holding shining bayonets, and rushed towards the mountain in the face of the explosion of grenades!
At this time, the only thing the defenders on the top of the mountain could do was to use their bayonets. Leng Tiefeng and Gong Haifeng ordered all the officers and soldiers of the first and second companies to fix their bayonets.
In the blink of an eye, the little devil was approaching the top of the mountain.
At this time, the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles at the foot of the mountain had no use for them, and a ceasefire happened.
The Japanese soldiers who had already rushed to the top of the mountain became excited and their pace suddenly quickened. However, at this moment, a dense mass of Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared on the opposite position.
, roared and rushed towards them. The Japanese who came up the mountain were not afraid at all. They decisively pulled the bolt of the gun, ejected the bullet from the chamber, and then faced them with a shining bayonet.
In an instant, the two groups of people collided head-on, and a brutal hand-to-hand battle was staged again.
At the foot of the mountain, Artilleryman Nakano Hidemitsu, commander of the 13th Infantry Regiment, fired two illumination bombs. The burning white light from the illumination bombs illuminated an area of more than a kilometer in radius as bright as day. With the dazzling light of the illumination bombs,
Not only could Nakano Hidemitsu and Asada Jiro clearly see with their naked eyes the hand-to-hand combat taking place on the top of the mountain, they could even vaguely hear the cracking sound of gun butts smashing human bones, and the crashing sound of bayonets hitting hard.
"Baga Yalu." Nakano Yingguang whispered, "Compared to half a year ago, the combat effectiveness of the Dameishan Independent Regiment seems to be much stronger. I remember that in the last Feicheng defense battle, except for a very small number of Langya members, the Dameishan Independent Regiment
Most of the officers and soldiers of the regiment are no match for our Kumamoto Division in hand-to-hand combat."
Jiro Asada said: "Not only has the combat effectiveness become stronger, but the tactical literacy has also been greatly improved!"
Nakano Hidemitsu said: "I really don't know how Xu Rui trains soldiers? If we continue to allow the Dameishan Independent Regiment to grow, the consequences will be really disastrous."
While the two were talking, the winner of the hand-to-hand battle on the top of the mountain had already been decided.
In less than half a cup of tea, the two strengthened teams that rushed up the hill were beaten to pieces by the Chinese soldiers. Only less than a dozen people were left to resist, but the casualties of the Chinese soldiers were not small.
, of the more than two hundred people who had just rushed out of the trenches, less than a hundred were still standing at this moment.
But even so, it was enough to surprise Nakano Hidemitsu.
Jiro Asada didn't react at all, because he had already seen it just now.
But the next moment, Asada Jiro saw the ferocity of Nakano Hidemitsu. He suddenly turned around and yelled at the messenger behind him: "Order, the tank detachment is on full fire, spread the silk, throw the silk...
…”
"Nani?" Jiro Asada was stunned when he heard this and shouted, "Your Majesty Colonel, there are still our people on the mountain!"
However, Nakano Hidemitsu turned a deaf ear and continued to yell at the messenger: "If you are deaf, throw it away, throw it away..."
The orderly soldier woke up from a dream and hurried over to give the order to the tank unit. The next moment, the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles at the foot of the mountain opened fire at the same time. In an instant, the dense bullets were like a storm, and they were still fighting towards the top of the mountain.
The relentlessly killing Japanese soldiers and Chinese soldiers rushed towards them. The Japanese soldiers and Chinese soldiers who were caught off guard were shot and fell down one after another. The unlucky Japanese soldiers and Chinese soldiers were hit by the main gun of the Little Japanese tank and were directly beaten.
into pieces.
The sudden blow stunned not only the Japanese but also the Chinese.
"Fuck you!" Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but curse. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and grabbed the Japanese in front of him to block him, the dense rain of bullets would have knocked him down.
, but even so, he was also shot once in his left arm and right shoulder. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious.
Facing such a dense rain of bullets, even if you are the king of soldiers, it will be of no use.
After all, the King of Soldiers is also a human being, made of flesh and blood, and can be penetrated by bullets!
The next moment, Leng Tiefeng turned around and ran towards the position, shouting loudly: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, the little devil is crazy, retreat quickly, brothers, retreat quickly!"
Leng Tiefeng's order was timely, but in the end there were less than fifty people who followed him back to the position. When he first launched the attack, there were more than one hundred and twenty people in the company, but now when he retreated, there were only less than fifty people left.
There were fifty people, and most of the fifty people were injured, including Leng Tiefeng, who was also slightly injured.
Actually, the situation here in the first company is pretty good, but the situation in the second company over there is even worse.
There were almost a hundred men of the Second Company when they attacked, but less than thirty people were left behind when they retreated. Moreover, the guard battalion commander Gong Haifeng and the Commander of the Second Company were also sacrificed. The instructor of the Second Company who took over the command was also seriously injured.
All three of the platoon commanders were killed, and ten of the eighteen squad leaders and squad deputies were sacrificed. How could it be such a tragedy?
However, the battle is not over yet, the defense will continue!
