Chapter 1038: I Believe Comrade Li Hao (Second Update!) )
Report to the commander, there was a blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front of Laohuling, and an infantry squad of the forward unit was completely annihilated, and the enemy was about a company, not equipped with heavy weapons. The Forward Squadron Communications Officer rushed all the way to the Wing Commander and reported with a pant breath.
"The heavy machine gun squadron and the mortar squadron of the 1st Brigade each draw a small squad to reinforce the forward squadron, quickly break through the Tiger Ridge blocking position, and launch an attack now." The Wing Captain ordered without thinking.
Over the past few days, he had encountered such encounters many times, and he could not count.
The specific method of how to fight has long been imprinted in his mind, so the order can be blurted out without even thinking about it.
"Boom, boom...... Dadada......"
The exchange of fire soon rang out on the battlefield and lasted for nearly ten minutes before stopping.
Disappointingly, the forward troops did not take Tiger Ridge in one fell swoop as before.
"Sir, there is at least one battalion of troops of the Eighth Route Army on the mountain ridge, they are too cunning, and when the troops rush closer, they suddenly come out, first with rapid fire, then throw grenades, and finally fight with bayonets with our hand-to-hand soldiers. Only about two dozen of our infantry squadrons were withdrawn, and all the others were killed. The communications officer rushed over a second time to report, this time with a noticeably more nervous face, and a little less likely to speak.
Before the wing captain could speak, another subordinate rushed over, compared to the communication officer just now, his face was full of excitement, and he knew at a glance that it was good news
"Sir, if you've been to Tiger Ridge, you're looking for the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army."
"The lowly has just received information. They are moving into the mountains. ”
"We must break through the Tiger Ridge blocking position as soon as possible and catch up with them. Once they enter the mountain under the cover of night, it will be difficult for us to find them again. ”
"I see!" The co-captain showed a look of sudden realization.
"The Eighth Route Army blocking in front of us is buying time for their headquarters to move into the mountains, which is why they are so desperate to intercept us and repel the attack of the forward squadron."
"However, they also underestimate the combat effectiveness of the imperial army."
"Along the way, we encountered countless Eighth Route Army, and there were various blocking positions, and the results were all defeated, and the Eighth Route Army in front was no exception."
"Order: Tank squadron, 1st Infantry Battalion, Mountain Artillery Squadron, unite to attack."
"We have limited time, I want them to take the position of the Eighth Route Army in one assault and break through Tiger Ridge."
As soon as the Tiger Ridge blocking position, tanks and armored vehicles moved, and a dull roar sounded on the battlefield. As we got closer, the ground began to tremble beneath our feet.
Li Hao's brows slowly furrowed, he knew that the real tough battle was only starting now, and he ordered decisively.
"The mobile battalion immediately entered the position and joined forces with the first battalion to hold the position."
"We must remember that we have limited ammunition, and we can no longer squander them as we did before, and we can save as much as we can."
"Also, learn more after going to the battlefield, and see how those old eight roads in the first battalion fight devils, don't be impulsive."
As soon as Liu Yutian left with his troops, Li Hao continued to order: "The positions of the air defense battalion are ready!" ”
Hong Linfeng stood beside him, nodded and replied: "We have prepared twelve empty positions thirty meters behind the blocking position, each position can put an air defense squad, set up a flat-firing anti-aircraft machine gun, covered with concealed protective nets and dead branches and leaves, the little devils are so far away, they will definitely not be found." ”
"The little devil came up with three armored vehicles and three tanks, and they were all leather chariots that were worn by a dozen." Li Hao nodded, holding the telescope and analyzed.
The eyeballs slowly rolled with the convoy, and they hadn't left since they appeared.
"The first and second companies of the anti-aircraft battalion entered the positions and arranged anti-aircraft machine guns crosswise."
"After the Japanese tank entered the front fifty meters of the formation, the first company opened fire, first the tank and then the infantry, one minute of shooting, and then retreat after the fight, the second company was concealed and waited, and no one could be exposed in advance without my order."
"Mobile battalion, the first battalion is under the unified command of Battalion Commander Huang to repel the attack of the little devils."
Relying on their rough skin and thick flesh, the three tanks rushed to the front first, and slowly approached the Laohuling blocking position with the sound of "booming ......".
Sandwiched between the tanks, three armored vehicles did not want to lag behind and assaulted forward.
The Devil Riflemen work in small squads to follow behind tanks and armored bodies, using their massive bodies as cover to block bullets that may fly in front of them at any time.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Three tank guns fired at the same time.
The moment the flames erupted from the muzzle, the explosion was already sounding in the position, and the flames were splashing everywhere, kicking up a large number of dirt logs, and several soldiers were blown out of the trenches, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.
"Da Da Da ......"
The vehicle-mounted machine gun followed closely to join the battle, and as if the bullets did not need money, they whizzed towards the Tiger Ridge, clinging to the edge of the trench, plunging into the dirt behind them, and making the position dusty.
At this time, as long as someone on the battlefield comes forward and is targeted by the chariot, no matter what their identity, they will be instantly beaten into a sieve.
On a hilltop two kilometers away, more than a dozen people looked at the battlefield with serious faces.
In the past, when the troops encountered the little devil tanks, they waited for them to rush to thirty or forty meters in front of the formation, dispatched death squads, and killed them with explosives bags.
At that time, taking out one tank, the troops lost at least two infantry squads.
After a long time, the little devil gradually figured out the anti-tank method of the Eighth Route Army, and then changed the tactical tactics and directly parked the tank fifty meters in front of the formation as a fixed fire point.
Condescendingly covered the last fifty meters of the infantry assault with on-board machine guns and artillery.
No, the last dozen meters to be exact.
As long as the devils rush forward more than ten meters past the tank, they can throw grenades into the blocking position, kill and wound the defenders in large numbers, and then take the position in one go.
As soon as the Japanese army's tactics changed, it became more difficult for the troops to destroy these tanks.
It often takes an infantry platoon, or even more troops, to destroy it and relieve the pressure on the troops' defense.
Therefore, seeing the tanks dispatched, the images of the death squads rushing to the tanks one after another involuntarily appeared in the minds of these people, making them full of worries about the next battle.
"Chief, can Comrade Li Hao really block the joint attack of the little devils? If something goes wrong with him, the whole encirclement plan will be over. The chief of staff had a gloomy look on his face and couldn't help but remind.
"Do you want me to take the reserve team to arm behind him to avoid accidents?"
"No!" Commander Chen chose to believe Li Hao.
"The garrison regiment has fought a lot of big battles in the past few years, and the results have become bigger and bigger, all of which were commanded by Comrade Li Hao, and everyone believes in his command ability."
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Commander Chen's words were interrupted by a series of rarely heard strafing sounds, dull and harsh, like the sound of artillery firing and machine gun fire.
As soon as the shots rang out, the six tanks and armored vehicles that they had been staring at all this time did not move.
