More than 400 people from the Second Battalion and Three Companies have entered the position, but it seems that only about 200 people are still able to move.
Killing half the main battalion of the garrison in one bombardment was too costly.
"Captain, would you like to transfer a company to reinforce the Second Battalion!" Seeing the Japanese attacking troops approaching the mountainside, Hong Linfeng quickly reminded him before he could feel heartbroken.
"No need..." Li Hao shook his head and denied, "That's just a refueling tactic. As long as the Japs have planes in the sky and cannons on the ground, no matter how many of us go up there, they will die."
Hong Linfeng was anxious: "What should we do?"
"The Japanese have tanks to cover their attack. There are only more than 200 people left in one battalion, and there are no anti-tank artillery. They are definitely no match."
Li Hao thought for a moment and replied: "There is only one way to win by surprise."
"A company from the air defense battalion came out and immediately reinforced the battlefield. When the Japanese rushed fifty meters in front of the formation, they opened fire. I took advantage of this opportunity to blow up six tanks for me."
"The little Japs were very arrogant along the way because of their rough skin and thick flesh on the tanks, and they didn't take us seriously at all. If we can kill these six tanks by surprise, not only can we defeat their arrogance, but we can also give the Japs a shot."
Use force and force them to retreat."
Hong Linfeng's eyes lit up and he affirmed: "This is a good idea. If six tanks are destroyed, the Japanese will definitely retreat. The next attack will have to wait at least ten minutes."
"And without tank cover, when the Japanese attack in the next wave, the troops will be completely exposed to our guns, and the combat pressure on the soldiers will definitely be greatly reduced."
"Rumble..."
The roar of the chariot became louder and louder, and it staggered all the way to the front of Xinmaling.
This is nearly a hundred meters away from the mountainside.
After seeing no movement on the mountainside, they continued to move forward, blowing black smoke.
"Da da da……"
The vehicle-mounted machine guns opened fire. Six tanks and twelve vehicle-mounted machine guns fired at the same time, staring at the mountainside position.
"Hidden..." On the mountainside, the commander ran back and forth in the middle of the crater to remind the soldiers who wanted to show their faces.
The position was gone, and more than 200 people from the Second Battalion and more than 40 people from the Air Defense Battalion were hiding directly in the bomb craters everywhere, using the craters as positions to block the Japs.
"Squad 1, move your machine guns thirty meters to the left, facing the Japs tanks, and try to turn them into a hornet's nest with one shot." The first company commander of the air defense battalion silently calculated the attack routes of the six tanks in his mind, and finished calculating one tank.
Give an order.
"Class 2 doesn't move..."
"Class 3 moved ten meters to the left..."
Soon, six anti-aircraft machine guns were deployed.
The long barrel stretched out from the edge of the crater, pointing straight ahead at the approaching tank.
The shooting hand holds the handle tightly, eyes just staring at the tank through the crosshair, and the barrel rotates slowly with the movement of the tank.
The shoulder is pressed against the butt of the gun to resist the strong recoil generated by the gun during shooting.
"boom……"
The signal bomb exploded above everyone's heads, and the sound reached the ears of every soldier.
The machine gunner on standby pulled the trigger decisively.
"Dong dong dong..."
The dull sound of machine gun firing rang out. Bullets as thick as a thumb flew out of the barrel with huge kinetic energy. The bullet shells flew out from the side of the gun body. The powerful recoil caused the machine gun to hit the shooter's shoulder hard, which was very painful.
The machine gunner gritted his teeth, pressed the butt of the gun, tried his best to keep the machine gun from shaking, and then continued to pull the trigger.
The fifty-meter range allows most bullets to hit the target.
The armor-piercing bullet hit the tank's protective armor head-on.
Some of them made a huge dent, sending sparks flying, and some of them directly penetrated the armor and flew into the tank, using their remaining power to kill the little Japs inside.
Within ten seconds after the signal flare went off, all six tanks lay down and the on-board machine guns stopped.
There were also many anti-aircraft machine gun bullets flying past the tank and crashing head-on into the Japanese attacking troops behind them. Anyone caught by it would be killed or injured.
The little Japanese captain who was supervising the battle at the back was confused for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
"The attacking troops will retreat immediately, retreat now..."
"The artillery fires and covers the mountainside with artillery fire. Call the aviation force and immediately bomb the Eighth Route Army's blocking position on the mountainside. I want to kill all the Eighth Route Army on the position."
"The Eighth Route Army just used anti-aircraft machine guns. They posed too great a threat to the imperial army. Now that they are here, don't leave, otherwise the six tanks will be destroyed in vain."
"Rumble..."
Before the Japanese attacking troops could withdraw, artillery shells fell from the sky and hit the mountainside.
"Commander, the Japanese artillery fire came too fast, the second battalion and the air defense troops are still on the position." Hong Linfeng shouted anxiously.
Li Hao's expression was solemn. Faced with this situation, he had nothing to do.
War is like this. No unit can always take advantage without suffering losses, and the garrison is no exception.
The garrison regiment ate six tanks of the Japs, and they will definitely take revenge.
It is undoubtedly the most direct method to directly use artillery fire to attack the Second Battalion and the Air Defense Battalion that have just participated in the battle.
The only thing Li Hao can do now is to pray, hoping that they can survive the shelling.
"Weng buzz..."
The plane that had been cruising nearby also arrived. Without any hesitation, it headed towards the mountainside that was already covered in artillery fire.
"Woooooooo..."
Amidst the ear-piercing screams, three aerial bombs fell from the sky, three thick black smoke pillars rose into the sky, and the "rumbling..." explosion sound reached Li Hao's ears.
Then I saw a large amount of soil, logs, corpses of soldiers, weapons... like toys being picked up by the air waves and flying around.
Li Hao's face became more serious.
At this moment, he once again felt the power of artillery and aircraft.
In the face of absolutely powerful strength, any conspiracy or trick is just a piece of cake and vulnerable to a single blow.
Just like this time of counter-mopping up, no matter how strong and deep the fortifications you build are, as long as these modern heavy weapons are deployed together, they will become vulnerable.
Even the guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that the army is good at are useless in front of them.
Therefore, until there is no weapon that can compete, what the army can do is to avoid its edge and not go head-to-head with these modern heavy weapons.
Otherwise, I would die without knowing how.
However, he must endure the tough battle before him, even if he loses two more main battalions.
This wait lasted another ten minutes.
The rain of shells almost plowed the mountainside before the bombardment stopped.
After the smoke cleared, there were many more bomb craters on the mountainside. The remains of soldiers killed in the bombing and burning wood were everywhere...
The Japanese army attacked the position, and the two squadrons that had just retreated rushed towards the mountainside again.
The eight heavy machine guns that provided fire cover also started roaring again, and the bullets passed over the heads of the attacking troops and directly hit the position halfway up the mountain that had been bombed into ruins, causing dust to fly.
Although there is no tank cover, the attack momentum is not weak at all.
