In the whole pine mountain, more than a dozen peaks of different sizes are connected, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, everywhere there is the trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", a winding highway circles in the mountains, and it appears and disappears from time to time.

At the very front of Songshan, there is a peak that protrudes like a turtle's head, and this is the high ground that the soldiers are about to face - Rolling Dragon Slope, which is also the first pass of Songshan.

Through the telescope, you can clearly see the bunkers, bunker outlines, traffic trenches, circular trenches, etc., which crisscross the mountaintop.

A battle had just been experienced, and a small number of Japanese troops were cleaning up the battlefield, collecting weapons, ammunition, and materials from the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the New Fifth Division.

It seems that Liu Dakun's battle is also quite embarrassing, and the soldiers of the 40th Group Army rarely leave their brothers, even if they are killed, but now, I am afraid that dozens of corpses can be seen at a glance.

Su Peng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It's almost over, order the artillery regiment to start artillery coverage!" ”

The herald immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called for the artillery regiment erected on the east bank of the Nu River to open fire immediately.

In an instant, the screech of shells rang out, and then countless shells poured down on the enemy's positions, and in the rumbling explosions, the enemy's entire forward position was covered with artillery fire.

The 40th Group Army has always had sufficient ammunition, and Liu Dakun said that the enemy's defensive line is so strong, the artillery attack lasted longer, and dozens of heavy artillery repeatedly plowed the rolling dragon slope several times, and it took nearly half an hour to end the bombardment, and the artillery sound stopped for ten minutes, the smoke of gunpowder had not completely dispersed, and the original green vegetation on the mountain was almost invisible, all of them were bomb craters, and from a distance it looked like a field that had just been plowed and was waiting to be sown.

The embers of the battlefield have not been extinguished, the dense soldiers at the bottom of the mountain began to pour upward, and more than a dozen helicopters also hovered in mid-air, observing the enemy's positions from a distance and guiding the ground troops in attack; because of the experience of the past, the enemy's anti-aircraft fire was too fierce and could not strike, and the helicopters could only swim outside the effective range of antiaircraft machine guns and machine guns, and did not dare to get too close at all.

Ten minutes later, the attacking troops rushed up the mountainside from both flanks, and there was still no movement on the enemy's defensive line, and there were no Japanese soldiers even in the trenches, and there was a dead silence on the hill.

The troops continued to move forward, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, the Japanese army still did not move, the sweat on Su Peng's forehead was already rolling down, after so many battles, he had never seen this situation, they all advanced to two hundred meters, the little devil was so calm, the distance was a little closer, a charge could advance to the top of the mountain, directly into the little devil's trench, this phenomenon usually only occurs in two situations, the first is that they give up their position, the second is that they are full of confidence, Even if the attacking troops advance to a very threatening distance, they will be able to fight it.

And the Japanese army on the rolling dragon slope will never give up the position, then there is only the second possibility, and in this case, the attack on the attacking troops is also very tragic, Su Peng began to understand why Liu Dakun's troops did not even bring down the bodies of the fallen soldiers, such a close attack distance, if the enemy's firepower is fierce, the soldiers have no time and no chance to drag down the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

Seeing that the soldier was about to advance to a distance of 100 meters, Su Peng's heart had already risen to his throat, and his hand holding the telescope was trembling slightly.

Suddenly, in the binoculars, a large number of Japanese soldiers emerged from the trenches, and then all kinds of guns opened fire one after another, and the bullets poured down the mountain like rain, and the attacking soldiers were suddenly cut into a piece, and the momentum of the attack was blocked, and the living soldiers were prostrate one piece, and the AK47 and even light and heavy machine guns in their hands came out of the crater and began to counterattack.

A large number of heavy machine guns and light machine gun fire points of the Japanese army immediately appeared on the top of the mountain, and the fire points were divided into several layers, and the bullet impact points were all over the battlefield, condescending, and the bullets were splashed like rain, if there was no cover, even if they were prostrate on the ground, they were under its firing point, and the officers and men of the national army suddenly appeared in a panic, and the temporarily constructed firepower points were beaten to pieces by the Japanese army, and many soldiers were torn to pieces by the bullets in an instant.

Su Peng finally saw that the top of the mountain looked no different from the original mountain, but in fact it was already a bunker, and there were a number of sub-forts, side forts, and dark forts on both wings, and the crossfire was densely woven like a net, which could basically cover the entire battlefield, so that there were no dead ends at all.

Su Peng roughly estimated that in less than twenty minutes of attack just now, the casualties of the two forward battalions were probably close to one-third, and if he continued to charge up, according to the enemy's firepower, the two battalions would be consumed in an instant, but he was a little unwilling to give up the attack.

At the same time, Jiang Haoran's order was to break through the Japanese defense line as quickly as possible, intersperse with northern Burma, and do everything possible to achieve a rendezvous with the expeditionary force, so no matter what was a sea of swords and fires ahead, they could only go forward.

Gritting his teeth, Su Peng gave Yan Zheng an order again, ordering to fire smoke bombs at the enemy's position, increase troops to the front line, and continue to charge up, and be sure to knock open this turtle shell of the Japanese army.

Soon, smoke rose from the forward position, and the white expanse covered the entire mountain, and the soldiers of the national army on the mountainside continued to increase troops to the front, and the national army on the position had raised the blue sky and white sun flag and began to charge to the top of the mountain.

The enemy machine guns in the smoke screen did not stop, although the target could not be seen, but the bullets still poured out like rain, the soldiers of the national army were cut down in rows, and a blue sky and white sun flag fell to the ground several times, but they were quickly helped up again, and continued to move forward, forward and one after another.

Seeing that the flag was about to advance to the smoke screen, suddenly, the scream of artillery shells sounded over the position, and immediately, countless shells flew out of the back mountain, all of them fell on the positions of the national army, and the flames soared into the sky, and the soldiers of the national army who were blown up everywhere were covered by artillery fire, reaching halfway up the mountain.

"Fuck it!" Su Peng scolded angrily, the telescope smashed to the ground, his face was already hideous, and then he howled: "Order, retreat, retreat quickly!" ”

When the battle is fought to this point, no matter how many troops you invest in the attack, you can only send soldiers up to die in vain, and under this kind of firepower and protection, there is no possibility of tearing apart the Japanese defense line at all.

Liu Dakun on the side also put down the binoculars in his hand, his face was also very ugly, and he scolded angrily: "Dog's day, the little devil also arranged anti-slope curved firepower, and the firepower point can cover most of the battlefield, and it can't be done without dozens of cannons." ”

Liu Dakun's first attack was blocked and retreated, and he did not continue to expand the intensity of the attack, so the artillery fire of the little devils was not exposed, and the new 11th Brigade's round of fierce attack made the enemy's family background all exposed.
