In the ravine closest to the top of the mountain, Zhang Dabiao looked at the cabinet that was being mined again with a telescope, with a bit of a smile on his face.
"Let the brothers continue working." Zhang Dabiao said with a smile.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
Before the Japanese engineers had gone ten meters away, the sharpshooters of the first battalion fired again, knocking down two engineers. But as soon as the soldiers fired, the defensive Japanese soldiers shot directly at the position of the soldiers. Three
The Japs in the squad fired at the same time, forming a cross-fire net of fire. One soldier failed to hide in time and was shot in the arm by the Japs, causing the rifle to fall from his hand.
The other soldiers were unable to fight back when faced with the Japs' shooting. The Japs who fired didn't seem to care about the consumption of ammunition, and the soldiers were so overwhelmed that they couldn't even lift their heads.
"Damn it! Where is our mortar? Take it out and blast it hard at the place where the Japanese are gathering!" Seeing that the soldiers were suppressed, Zhang Dabiao said quickly.
The First Battalion was condescending and could clearly see every move of the Japs. Through the telescope in his hand, Zhang Dabiao could see that the Japs were constantly advancing while being suppressed by fire. If this continued without fire support, the marksmen of the First Battalion would be overwhelmed.
Suppression makes it easy for the Japanese to rush forward. Even if a battalion sets up a lot of traps and mines, it will not be able to provide much help to the soldiers.
Zhang Dabiao didn't want these sharpshooters to have problems. These were the treasures of the First Battalion and the New Regiment, and they couldn't be left here.
Some soldiers brought in mortars, and after a simple aim, the shells flew towards the Japanese.
"boom"
The shell fell next to the Japanese, and the flying shrapnel knocked several Japanese to the ground. They could only groan in pain. However, the shell did not cause much damage to the Japanese. There was no way, not every artilleryman could do this.
Liu Gen was so accurate, and the Japanese were also very smart, and their positions were spread out. Shells flew out one after another, and they stopped shelling only after five shells were fired.
The Japanese abandoned more than a dozen corpses and retreated. Knowing that the Eighth Route Army on the mountain had mortars, no matter how unwilling Kudo was to go down to the field, he could only retreat with his Japanese soldiers. Since he could not charge forward, he could only choose to ask the captain for help.
Artillery support. The mountain has become the home ground of the Eighth Route Army. Kudo Shimono also realized that it was impossible to charge up with his own squadron.
Up to now, the large forces of the Eighth Route Army have not opened fire. Kudo Shimono is sure that there are many Tubal Routes hidden in this mountain. He does not want his soldiers to die here in vain.
"Battal Commander, the Japs were repulsed by us! I don't think the Japs are that powerful!" Looking at Zhang Dabiao, a recruit said with a smile.
Zhang Dabiao slapped the recruit on the head and said, "Hurry up and hide, the Japanese bombardment is coming!"
The recruit was stunned for a moment, unable to react. When he looked at the veterans in the first battalion, he found that these veterans had already hidden in the dug holes, curled up with their bodies, and put the simple
The wooden board blocked his body. After noticing this, the recruit realized that he quickly found the small hole he had dug and got in.
Two minutes later, the Japs' Type 92 infantry artillery roared, and the shells seemed to be free of charge and came towards the Getonggou Mountain. After some carpet bombing, the Japs rushed towards the Getonggou Mountain again. This time
Once, the Japs directly used the strength of two squadrons. Nearly 500 Japs divided into two directions and rushed up from the foot of Gedonggou Mountain.
After a round of carpet bombing, most of the mines deployed by the battalion on Getonggou Mountain were destroyed, and not many were left.
"Bah, the little devil really spent a lot of money. Damn it, our battalion has laid so many traps for nothing!" Zhang Dabiao spit out the dirt in his mouth and couldn't help but curse.
Zhang Dabiao also knew the Japanese fighting style and knew that before launching a charge, the Japanese would cover a large amount of artillery fire. But even knowing this, Zhang Dabiao still led a battalion of soldiers to lay many traps. Perhaps these Japanese artillery fires
Covering it won't leave too much behind, but it will have some effect.
"Let brothers prepare for battle, damn it!" Zhang Dabiao looked around and could see soldiers from the first battalion constantly coming out of the small holes he dug. But there were also soldiers who couldn't get out of them. The devils
Even if the cannonball lands on the hiding hole created by the soldier, it can still kill the soldier.
A round of Japanese artillery fire covered the first battalion with dozens of casualties, which made Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion commander, very distressed.
The soldiers were covered with mud and were in a very embarrassed state. They had no time to shake off the mud, so they lay down on the ravine. Seeing the Japs advancing quickly, some Japs stepped on the traps set by the soldiers and were pierced through the soles of their feet.
, could only hold their feet and wail in pain. The surrounding Japanese soldiers showed no expressions and ignored the wailing comrades. They had only one goal, which was to rush to the top of the mountain and rush to the position built by the first battalion!
"boom"
Some Japanese soldiers stepped on landmines that had not been hit by the artillery fire, and were blown away directly, with blood splattering everywhere. This made the Japanese soldiers who were advancing forward stagnant. There were actually landmines. Some Japanese soldiers subconsciously slowed down because they did not want to step on them.
If you hit a landmine or step on a landmine, your head may not even be left behind.
"Charge! Charge up!" from behind, a Japanese squadron leader yelled loudly.
The Japs soldiers picked up speed again and rushed towards the top of the mountain. However, the remaining mines still had a lot of impact on the Japs. The explosions that sounded from time to time made these Japs shudder subconsciously and their speed would also slow down a lot.
However, with the scolding of the officers behind them, the Japs rushed to a position less than 300 meters away from the First Battalion. During this period, more than a dozen Japs died directly due to stepping on landmines, and even more were injured. The soldiers of the First Battalion arranged on the mountain
Trap, but it makes these devils suffer a lot. You need to be extra careful every step you take.
"Hit!" Zhang Dabiao shouted when he saw the Japanese rushing within 300 meters.
With that said, Zhang Dabiao pulled the trigger of his rifle and killed a Japanese soldier who was charging forward. Using the shooting skills practiced by the Japanese soldiers by feeding bullets, and by bringing the Japanese soldiers closer, they could cause more casualties to the first battalion. Besides,
The new group's current ammunition is still sufficient, and it can also give the soldiers a luxury.
Some troops placed the Japs dozens of meters away from their own positions before firing, in order to save ammunition as much as possible. They did not have the wealth and wealth of the New Group.
The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time opened fire, but the light machine gun did not fire for the time being. This was Zhang Dabiao's arrangement. Wait until the Japanese rushed forward and give them a surprise. From time to time, Japanese mortar shells would fall on the first battalion's position.
It brought a lot of casualties, but the battalion had a large number of veterans and they would not be afraid because of this.
Under the leadership of the veterans, some recruits who had just joined the first battalion quickly became familiar with the battlefield environment and continued shooting, delaying the Japanese advance.
