Chapter 299: The Battle of the Ancient Mountain (1)
Yes, live.
Sun was unable to carry out the squad leader's last order to him.
By the time the rest of the guard platoon had settled their respective battles and searched for them, the sky was already white.
Sun couldn't hold the bloodied body of Sun Shijun, the leader of the guard platoon sergeant, and sat under a big tree. And beside them, there were four corpses of Japanese soldiers. In the end, a total of twelve Japanese corpses were found on their four-mile defensive line.
The patrol team composed of two people killed 6 times the enemy as them, and killed one of them, with a battle loss ratio of 1 to 12, such a record is not inferior to the record of the special brigade tonight, and even surpasses it.
At least, when Mo Xiaomei, who was already known as the strongest sniper in the Independent Regiment, checked that 9 of the twelve Japanese corpses were killed by one shot, he couldn't help but stretch out his thumb.
You must know that this group of Japanese troops is not an ordinary Japanese army, the sixteen members of the special brigade plus the fat regiment plus the most elite guard platoon of the independent regiment, the combat effectiveness is comparable to the two squadrons of the Japanese army, plus it is the home battle, and it has long been familiar with the terrain of the nearby mountains, but this Japanese army that took advantage of the darkness to touch the mountains still caused a heavy loss of ten dead and eighteen wounded in the guard platoon.
Although there were enough to leave the other party with a total of 162 people, the guard platoon Jiang Shangwang was heartbroken and beat his chest, this battle can be regarded as crippling his guard platoon of 50 people, and even the sergeant squad leader is gone.
The only unexpected joy is that Sun Bufu's kid has been like a different person since then, and Sun Bufu's lazy energy, which was promoted to sergeant squad leader by surprise attack, is no longer gone, and he no longer goes alone, and even begins to learn to order and guide his soldiers like the squad leader who has died.
This night made Sun unable to grow up, but he lost his first squad leader forever, which may be the price of growth!
After this battle, the twenty-year-old Sun could not become the father of two children, and the children did not need to change their surnames, but still had the surname Sun.
The first battle between the 8th Division and the Independent Regiment, the jungle sniper battle, ended completely at dawn. At the cost of 10 dead and 18 wounded, the Separate Regiment killed 162 officers and men of the special service squadron directly under the headquarters of the 8th Division, including one lieutenant, two lieutenants, four second lieutenants and six warrant officers.
It can be said that the guard platoon was disabled, but the special service squadron that Xi Yiyi had worked so hard to build up was completely wiped out, from the squadron leader to the squad leader to the military cao, and it was basically wiped out.
The only thing that made Liu Lang happy was that no personnel in the special brigade were killed, only Chen Yunfa rushed in with a military stab and fought with the Japanese army, and his arm was cut by the Japanese army with a bayonet, which was not too serious a wound.
In fact, although the military quality and personal skills and tactics of this Japanese army can be regarded as strong, Liu Lang really can't look down on it, jungle combat, and they are all stupid to hold a three-eight cover with a length of one meter three, and it is easy to make a sound if you move a little, and it is strange that it is not easily sniped by the soldiers of the independent regiment who are quite accurate in marksmanship. The second thing they forced was that they wanted to fight behind enemy lines, and they still carried heavy machine guns like regular combat, and finally came over the mountains and mountains, but the heavy machine guns really didn't play much role.
Under the cover of darkness, two grenades were enough to blow a heavy machine gun into parts. The muzzle flame of the crooked light machine gun was so obvious that the special forces members from dozens of meters away could see the face of the machine gun shooter.
On the other hand, on Liu Lang's side, except for a few soldiers who are fond of accurate shooting with spears, most of them are equipped with flower mechanisms, and at a distance of 50 to 100 meters, there is no scum left that can be killed by the flower mechanism in seconds.
The Japanese army's experience in special operations is almost zero, and if Liu Lang is given enough time, Liu Lang and sixteen special forces members can leave the two hundred little devils in the mountains through various breakthroughs.
But Liu Lang only has this night, and since the little devils have started to act, it is not far from them launching a general attack. Liu Lang must solve this gang of troubles in the shortest possible time, and then return to the main position to command the battle.
As Liu Lang expected, at 8 o'clock in the morning, not long after breakfast in the independent regiment, the Japanese army began to move.
Gushan was the first target of the 8th Division, and in order to occupy this small hill that was only three or four miles away from the pass, Xiyiyi dispatched a brigade of nearly 1,000 men and horses to attack.
Perhaps also stimulated by the near-total annihilation of his own special service squadron in the Great Wall Mountains, Xiyiyi used his heavy artillery brigade at the beginning of the first battle.
The Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade was the backbone of the Japanese army at the time of the 918 Incident, and it was equipped with ten Taisho 4-year 150mm field howitzers that could send 36KG shells to 8,800 meters away, which was not the most powerful, and this heavy artillery brigade even had two Meiji 45-year 240mm heavy howitzers, which were used to destroy the fortifications of hostile fortresses, and the siege weapons used to destroy the fortifications of hostile fortresses could send 200KG shells to 10,000 meters away.
The small ancient mountain was all shrouded in the smoke of the howitzer explosion, and from Luo Wenyu's side, the entire mountain was covered by the mushroom-shaped white gunpowder smoke that kept rising, and it was completely impossible to see the green eyes that used to be.
"SHIT, THERE ARE EVEN 240MM CALIBER GRENADES." Liu Lang was watching with a telescope in the command post of the first company, and when he heard the dull explosion in his ears, his face couldn't help but change drastically.
HE WASN'T TOO WORRIED ABOUT THE SOLDIERS HIDING IN THE ANTI-SLOPE TUNNEL, BUT THE MAIN POSITION ON THE TOP OF THE ANCIENT MOUNTAIN MUST HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY DAMAGED, AND THE PROTECTION OF ALL THE BUNKERS WAS DESIGNED TO DEFEND AGAINST THE BOMBARDMENT OF 150 HOWITZERS, AND IF IT RAN INTO THESE 240MM CALIBER HEAVY HOWITZERS, THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE WORRYING.
But if the protection of the main position is lost, what will the soldiers of the Death Company who came out of the tunnel use to resist the attack of a brigade of thousands of Japanese soldiers? The most important thing in anti-slope defense is the control of the ridgeline, if the ridge line is lost, the soldiers hiding in the pit will end up tragically. This is also the reason why in the fifties in the northern country, the soldiers of the Republic and the American GIs fought over the ridge line all the time, even if an entire row and company of soldiers died on the top of a hill that had been blown up by shells, and there were almost no trenches.
"Tuanza, you better go back to the headquarters, I'm here." Fearfully persuaded forward.
THE FORTIFICATIONS OF THE COMPANY HEADQUARTERS, WHICH HAD BEEN CONSTANTLY THICKENING AND BECOMING STRONGER AND STRONGER, MOVED FORWARD WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE, AND AFTER THE JAPANESE 240MM CALIBER HOWITZERS BEGAN TO WIELD, THEY WERE ALSO A LITTLE WEAK AND SHORT-BREATHED. If the Japanese heavy artillerymen who were bombarding the Gushan position fired a few cannons on this side on a whim, then the fun would have been great. If Liu Lang, the supreme commander of the Independent Regiment, had an accident at the beginning of the war, it was doubtful whether Luo Wenyu could hold on for a day.
"Don't worry, the little devil is demonstrating to us? They will not stop until they take Gushan in one go. I hope Zhou Shiyu can withstand this round of strong attacks by the little devils. Liu Lang's face was unprecedentedly grim, and he said slowly.
It's not that he doesn't have confidence in the combat effectiveness of Zhou Shiyu's Death Company, but that the madness of the Japanese invaders is really beyond his expectations. INSTEAD OF FIRING THE SHELLS AT THE MAIN POSITION, THEY FRANTICALLY SMASHED INTO THE SMALL POSITION OF GUSHAN, AND EVEN UNABASHEDLY USED 240MM HEAVY HOWITZERS, WHICH WERE COMPLETELY CAPABLE OF BLOWING UP THE DARK FORT WITH STEEL PLATES AND LOGS AND THREE OR FOUR METERS THICK SAND.
Liu Lang's guess was not wrong at all.
"Yo Xi, Naoki-kun did a good job." Nishiyichi looked at Gushan shrouded in artillery fire from the binoculars, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
"Division commander, it's just a small hilltop position, killing chickens with a knife? Is it possible to stop the shelling on the side of the heavy artillery brigade? Major General Terube Tanibe on the side said.
"No, order them, shell for another ten minutes, I want to let the people on the opposite side take a good look, our Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire is unstoppable, and all resistance will be torn apart in the face of the fierce artillery fire of the Empire." Xiyi waved his hand one by one and vetoed the proposal of the chief of staff of the division and regiment.
"Haiyi, I understand the humble position, and the division commander is wise. Letting the soldiers of China see their allies annihilated by us in one fell swoop will be a heavy blow to their morale, and I am afraid that the commander on the other side, whom they worship as gods, is now helpless! Terubei Tanibe smiled with a relaxed face.
"Not only to make him helpless, but also to make him desperate, order Nagakawahara Kan, he must end the battle in an hour, and at the same time tell him, I don't want a living Shina man, I want to fill all the corpses of the Shina people on the way of our army's imminent advance." Xiyi said viciously, his eyes full of hideousness.
