Chapter 845: A Great Victory
"How's it going?"
Lu Kang was still worried. Zhao Hongfei only has the strength of a battalion, and it is difficult to deal with more than 300 devils who have a solid defense and an absolute geographical advantage. So, he personally came with the vanguard.
The commander of the first battalion replied: "Report to the division commander, we have occupied the northern hill, and we are still in a stalemate. The second company has passed, and hopefully something will change. ”
"How so?"
The first battalion replied: "Originally, Shao Fei led the assault team to occupy the southern mountain, and then launched a general attack. But ......"
Lu Kang was worried about Shao Fei, so he asked loudly, "But what!?"
The commander of the first battalion replied: "But there has been no movement for a long time, and the firepower in the south has suddenly become stronger."
A force of 120 men made a long run, and after attacking the enemy headquarters, they came to attack the hilltop position. Lu Kang expected Shao Fei to be more auspicious than lucky.
So, Lu Kang ordered: "Order the pioneer battalion to quickly cross the river and reinforce it with all its might!"
The commander of the first battalion stopped: "Division commander, by all means. The fire on the hill to the south is fierce, and crossing the river without defense is bound to cause heavy casualties. Now we can only wait for Chief Zhao to give the final signal for a general attack. ”
Lu Kang picked up the telescope to observe the situation on the other side, where it was simply a chaotic battle. The three companies on the shore did not gain a firm foothold, but blindly and passively took beating.
Perhaps the commander of the first battalion is right, if the troops are sent to stir up the situation now, not only will it not work, but the soldiers will be sent to death in vain.
On the east bank of the Liushui River, the sound of gunfire and artillery enveloped the entire battlefield. The two sides went back and forth, the firepower was intertwined, and the battle was very fierce.
The second company made a big detour back behind the devil's third line of defense. Due to Zhao Hongfei's attack, this team of devils focused their attention on the northern mountain.
The devil's third line of defense was a dirt slope, slightly higher than the first line of defense, and two trenches were built. Originally, it was two squads to defend, but now one is gone, and there are only more than forty people left.
And the devil's first line of defense is completely in a situation of being beaten, and it can no longer play a big role. And there were the largest number of troops, more than a hundred people.
Therefore, the commander of the devil adjusted his deployment in time, ordered the troops on the southern hill to suppress Zhao Hongfei's company on the northern hill, and the troops of the first line of defense withdrew to the third-line defense line to consolidate the strength of the headquarters.
"Boom Boom" "......"
On the opposite hill a heavy artillery bombardment was launched against the company. A large number of light and heavy machine gun bullets were firing wildly in this direction. In the dark night, the lines of fire hang in the sky, which is not a bad sight.
Zhao Hongfei found that a large number of devils below began to disperse and retreat, and said to himself: "It's not good, the second company is in danger." ”
The second company is the key to the whole battle, and if the second company fails to attack, the whole battle will end in failure. But Zhao Hongfei was helpless, at this time, he didn't know that Lu Kang had come with a large army.
On the battlefield, the tide of battle is changing rapidly, but not being able to get in touch with the various units is a fatal wound.
And Zhao Hongfei knows even more that as a commander, he can't have a moment of hesitation. A momentary hesitation could have missed the fighter and lead to the defeat of the entire battle. So, Zhao Hongfei took advantage of the fact that the enemy below had not yet withdrawn to the third line of defense, and immediately made a decision to launch a general attack!
"Whoosh~"
An orange flare lit up the night sky, illuminating the entire battlefield.
"Spray~" "Spray~" "Spray~" "......"
Immediately, the broken artillery units on the west bank of the Liushui River launched an artillery attack on the southern hill with all their might. For a moment, the southern hill was as bright as day.
"Kill~" "Kill" "......"
The soldiers of the third company quickly emerged from the hole in the ground and began to charge towards the hill to the south.
The devils on the hill to the south quickly turned their guns and launched a fierce attack on the bottom of the mountain.
The Sichuan soldiers in the vanguard fell in a row, and the troops behind followed closely, throwing grenades and charging at the same time.
Lian on the north hill got a chance to breathe, and Zhao Hongfei ordered loudly: "Give me a hard fight down the mountain!" ”
"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"
"Spray~" "Spray~" "......"
The first company at the top of the north hill was full of firepower, desperately launching a fierce attack on the retreating devils at the bottom of the mountain, preventing them from retreating to the third line of defense, and buying time for the second company's attack.
"Rush~" "Rush~" "......"
After the second company returned to the designated position, he wanted to crawl closer, and then launch a surprise attack. But the signal for the general attack had been sounded, so the commander of the second company desperately launched a charge.
At a distance of thirty meters, the company commander shouted vigorously: "Throw!" ”
The soldier threw the grenades he had prepared at the enemy position.
The Sichuan army was poorly equipped, but the Sichuan army had three treasures, straw sandals, broadswords, and grenades. Grenades are their best weapon for attacking.
"Throw it again!"
"Brush ~ brush ~", the soldiers of the second company threw out a second wave of grenades, and they had prepared two in advance.
Nearly 200 grenades fell into the third line of defense of the Japanese army, and the position was in flames for a moment.
"Kill~"
The soldiers of the second company quickly rushed into the position and fought against the remaining devils.
The devils on the southern hill are pinned down by the third company, and a large number of devils below are flocking to the third line of defense, and the second company may not be able to stop it.
"Rush~"
Zhao Hongfei saw the fighter plane, rushed down the hill with the first company, and went to support the second company.
On the west bank of the Liushui River, Lu Kang was already aware of the battle ahead, and after he put down his binoculars, he ordered: "The forward battalion quickly crosses the river to support the first battalion!" ”
The forward battalion was divided into three teams to cross the flowing river in an orderly manner. After the first party crossed the river, it quickly reinforced the three companies on the southern slope and attacked the Japanese troops on the hilltop; The second team then crossed the Flowing River and attacked the Japanese troops directly from behind to the third line of defense; A third team stabilizes the beachhead line and acts as a reserve.
The battle on the other side immediately reached a climax, and the earth-shattering sound of killing resounded throughout the battlefield. The Sichuan army attacked wave after wave like an overwhelming force, like a flood of fierce beasts, no one could stop it.
"Brother, the time has come for us to make meritorious contributions, continue to kill!"
It didn't take long for the 2nd Company to successfully occupy the third line of defense of the Japanese army. The commander of the second company roared, and the morale of the soldiers of the whole company was greatly boosted, and they quickly launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops who came to reinforce them.
Zhao Hongfei attacked from the flank with a company; Follow-up troops attacked from behind. After a fierce hand-to-hand battle, the troops of the three sides completely annihilated nearly 100 devils in the first line of defense.
"A company commander!"
"Here!"
Zhao Hongfei immediately ordered: "Take your people around to the south, cut off the back road of the devils on the southern slope, and don't attack the mountain." ”
"Yes!"
The commander of the first company quickly left with the first company. Zhao Hongfei took the rest of the troops and launched a final attack on the devils on the southern slope from the east.
The eastern, western, and northern Sichuan armies attacked the mountain at the same time, and the shouts of killing under the mountain resounded. These beasts who once held butcher knives to show off their might to the people of Nanjing were still frightened. Everyone understands that their end has come.
Some cowardly devils began to flee from the battlefield without permission. There are one and two, and in the chaos of the war, the other devils lose command and run away. The army was defeated, and the attacking troops quickly occupied the Nanshan position.
The Sichuan army occupied the entire position on the east bank of the Liushui River, and the battle was over.
Just as the soldiers of the Sichuan army were shouting victory at the top of the south mountain, gunshots rang out in the south. Those who escaped could not escape their doom in the end, and were intercepted one after another, and died in shame on the way to escape.
Although the battle on the east bank of the Liushui River was tortuous, it ended with a complete victory for the Sichuan army.
The Japanese army lost its longevity, and the Xianghe defense line was about to be routed. The 33rd Army was to launch a full-front counterattack against the Japanese.
