"Order the troops in the individual bunkers to prepare for battle. The enemy will shoot when they rush fifty meters in front of the formation." Li Hao ordered with a stern face.
Hong Linfeng then reminded: "Should we send troops to reinforce the Second Battalion? They don't have many people left?"
"Third battalion and one company go up and replace them." Li Hao ordered.
"As the old saying goes, only those troops who dare to fight tough battles can be considered elite. Although there are not many people left in the Second Battalion, everyone is an elite left after the great waves, a veteran who crawled out from the dead. On the battlefield
One person can stand up to several people."
"Tell Zhang Yun that after the troops are withdrawn, they will immediately reduce the organization and organize the remaining people into a reinforced company. It will be used as the fist force of our garrison just like the reinforced company reduced by the mobile battalion."
The worry on Hong Linfeng's face did not disappear, and he continued to remind: "I've only gone up to one company, isn't it too little?"
"The Japanese attack force consisted of two squadrons, as well as a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns to provide fire cover."
"Quite a few." Li Hao shook his head and replied.
"Their mission is to hold the 50-meter line of defense in front of the formation. Until the Japanese break through this line of defense, they will be cowed. If the Japanese come over, they will attack and kill them with rifles and grenades."
"The kid was handed over to the soldiers hiding in individual bunkers fifty meters away. They are all sharpshooters drawn from each battalion and company. They will definitely be able to kill many of the kid's attacking troops and force them to retreat."
Soon, the Japanese captain saw such a scene.
The offensive department began to suffer casualties when it approached a hundred meters from the defense line.
Soldiers were constantly being killed and fell on the offensive road.
Looking at the Eighth Route Army position on the mountainside, there was not a single soldier showing up, and not a single machine gun was firing. What could be heard were the chaotic sound of rifle shooting and the sound of heavy machine gun fire from nearby providing cover fire.
"What's going on? Why are the casualties of the attacking troops so high?" The captain couldn't figure it out and asked his subordinates.
The adjutant thought for a moment and replied: "Sir, the positions on the mountainside have been destroyed by bombs. The enemies must be hiding in the craters, and they are all sharpshooters, shooting our attacking troops with rifles."
"Our offensive firepower is too strong. Their machine guns will be targeted and killed as soon as they fire. The riflemen have a small target, so they can hide when they fire, and they will not be targeted by heavy machine guns... This must be the case."
"Order!" The captain certainly wouldn't see the casualties of the attacking troops increasing so he shouted decisively: "Heavy machine gun squadron, increase firepower output."
"Don't focus on the defense line. Use bullets to sweep the craters around the defense line. The Eighth Route Army that is blocking us is likely to be hiding in these craters."
"The mortar squadron is also moving, aiming at the mountainside. Each gun will fire ten shells at a very rapid rate. Fire now."
"Bomb craters can indeed help the Eighth Route Army block incoming bullets, but they cannot block artillery shells falling from the sky."
On the mountain ridge, Hong Linfeng didn't understand when he saw that the position halfway up the mountain was once again shrouded in artillery fire.
"Commander, the third battalion and the first company guarding the mountainside haven't moved at all. Why are the little devils firing artillery there again? Could it be that they have so many artillery shells that they have no place to use them."
Li Hao frowned and thought about it for a moment before showing an expression of enlightenment.
"The Japanese must have mistakenly thought that the sharpshooters who attacked them were hiding in a position halfway up the mountain."
"The gunfire and explosions on the battlefield were too dense. Those sharpshooters only shot with rifles. They were scattered everywhere, and the gunfire was so chaotic. Under the cover of the gunfire, the Japanese couldn't tell where they were?"
"I didn't expect this. Since the little devils mistakenly thought that those sharpshooters were in the position, let them continue to misunderstand."
"This way the sharpshooters hiding behind the position can take the opportunity to kill a few more Japs."
"Pass my order: All the riflemen of the third battalion and the first company join the battle."
"Rely on the shell craters scattered on the position to attack the Japanese attacking troops while ensuring your own safety."
Hong Linfeng's eyes flashed and he shouted: "True or false, the little devil must not be able to tell where those sharpshooters are hiding."
"Captain, this is a good idea."
The bombardment ended quickly, lasting less than a minute.
The Japanese offensive troops took the opportunity to advance forty or fifty meters, leaving the last ten meters away from the fifty-meter defense line set by Li Hao.
A company of nearly a hundred riflemen joined the battle, plus sharpshooters who had been shooting behind the defense line. Japanese casualties increased sharply.
Every meter they advanced, soldiers fell to the ground.
The captain saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
"Sir, there is only one squadron left in the offensive force. Do you want to send another squadron up?" The adjutant was also very anxious and reminded with a frown.
"You can't go, will you die if you go up there?" the captain retorted.
"You haven't seen that until now, the Eighth Route Army in the position has not used machine guns, but has been using rifles to attack our attacking troops."
"They must be equipped with machine guns, and there are quite a few of them."
"We must be waiting for the critical moment to open fire and give the attacking troops a fatal attack."
"These rifles killed one of our infantry squadrons along the way. The machine guns are more powerful, and our casualties will definitely be greater."
"After firing the machine guns, we still have grenades and grenades. When the Eighth Route Army uses up all these means, even if we add another squadron, we will suffer heavy casualties."
"In the end, if we fight with the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield with bayonets, we will definitely not be our opponents."
"Order the attacking troops to retreat immediately!"
"There are too many Eighth Route Army troops on the mountainside. We must kill some more before we have a chance to take them down at the minimum cost."
"Report to the brigade commander at the back that the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside is too difficult to fight. The mortars and mountain artillery we are equipped with cannot do anything to them. We request heavy artillery and aircraft support to level the mountainside position."
"Now that we have confirmed that there are a lot of Eighth Route Army troops hiding on the mountainside, let's take full advantage of our firepower, use plane bombs and heavy artillery bombardment to see whether it is the Eighth Route Army's bones that are stronger or our artillery shells."
"As for the soldiers under our command, they will die if they can. They will keep their lives and continue to contribute to the empire and eliminate more Eighth Route Army troops."
The Japanese troops withdrew very suddenly.
As soon as a company of machine gunners prepared to fire, they all retreated like a big wave at the end of the wave, huffing and puffing.
Nothing was left except corpses everywhere.
As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.
"Captain, are the little devils retreating now?" Hong Linfeng thought he had made a mistake, and it took him a long time to react.
A look of solemnity flashed across Li Hao's face. In his eyes, this was not a good thing.
Fifty meters away, if you attack quickly, you can rush through it in one minute.
At this time, most commanders will not give up on this upcoming victory.
There are only two possibilities for the little devils to retreat at this time: either they have discovered their conspiracy, or they are planning a new attack.
Regardless of the possibility, it is not good news for the garrison.
