"Whoosh~"

A red signal flare rose in the air, red represents danger, but also represents the determination of the ace division of the national army, which also means that the decisive battle between the 11th Division and the 106th Division is about to begin.

Ten thousand cannons were fired, and the earth shook. The 11th Division used almost all of its artillery to launch artillery bombardment on the enemy. The Japanese soldiers who were beaten for a while turned on their backs, and they could not even launch an attack at one time.

The terrain on both sides of the road is open, but the commanding heights in the distance have been occupied by the national army, and in front of the road are the three defensive positions of the 31st Brigade. The commander of the 31st Brigade is Wang Yan, and the main position has the 61st Regiment responsible for the defense, and the regiment commander Qiao Jiuling.

The commanding heights on both sides are respectively arranged with infantry artillery positions and large-caliber mortars with a long firing range, and the two commanding heights are defended by two battalions of the 62nd Regiment of the 31st Brigade, all under the command of Yu Ziwen, the commander of the 62nd Regiment.

The Devil's Vanguard Brigade was almost flanked from three sides, shelling from the two highest points on the left and right, and fire from the 61st Regiment on the front.

After a round of shelling, the devils began to retreat, and in such a situation of poor preparation, it was simply impossible to start a battle.

"It was reported that the forward troops were blocked by the main force of the 11th Division and requested reinforcements. ……”

At the general headquarters of the Japanese army's rear, the signal corps reported in detail the battle situation at the front to Major General Wa Qu, commander of the 111th Brigade.

Major General Wa Qu came to the battle map and carefully looked at the surrounding environment and terrain. I couldn't help but sigh: "There is the only way for reinforcements, and it is the most suitable for blocking, and the rest of the roads cannot be passed by heavy equipment." It seems that the enemy has prepared well in advance, and we have encountered a very difficult opponent. ”

The staff officer on the side suggested: "Why don't you send a lightly armed force to make a detour and attack from behind the enemy." ”

The major general looked at the staff officer and accused: "Stupid. The enemy is more familiar with the terrain than we are, twice as many as we are, and is on a par with us, so if we lose the support of heavy weapons, the result can be imagined. ”

"Hi~" The staff officer lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Major General Wa Qu looked at the map carefully, thinking of a countermeasure, and after a long time, Wa Qu ordered: "First cut off the enemy's right-hand man." Order the follow-up troops to follow up, do not attack the frontal enemy first, use the superiority of troops and firepower to occupy the commanding heights of the right flank first, and then the left flank, and quickly arrange artillery positions to support the frontal attack of the infantry against the enemy. ”

"Hey, I'll give the order."

"Wait, by the way, ask for air force support."

"Hey!"

The devil staff officer turned around and left, conveying the order of the major general of the war.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

The Japanese artillery launched a covering bombardment of the hill on the right flank, and not long after, the Japanese air force also rushed over and bombed the hilltop position on the right flank of the 11th Division.

Yu Ziwen, the commander of the 62nd Regiment, quickly made arrangements, and a battalion was in charge of the hill on the right flank, and ordered the first battalion to withdraw the main force to avoid artillery fire, leaving a company on the position. He also ordered four anti-aircraft guns in a hidden place on the hill to attack the enemy planes.

"Hit!"

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

A large number of devils swarmed at the bottom of the mountain, rushing towards the mountain. The remaining soldiers of the first battalion and three companies of less than 80 men fought back in full force from the position.

The devil completely dares to attack, and he doesn't care about any offensive formation, staggered cover, and making way for machine guns. The reason for this is very simple, the commander of the devil heard the strength of the position through the sound of gunfire.

"Attack! Attack! ”

A hundred troops of one hundred men charged frantically towards the hilltop position in the shape of a ladder.

"Kill!"

The devil immediately rushed to the front of the position, and the commander of the third company was completely anxious, pushing away the machine gunner and shooting himself.

The charging devils fell in the front row, and the back row quickly followed.

"Why hasn't the artillery been supported yet!"

Yu Ziwen, the commander of the 62nd Regiment, saw that the position was about to be lost, and he was also anxious. The infantry artillery on the right flank was too close to each other, and it was impossible to fire on their own positions, so they could only hope for the opposite hill

An adjutant on the side said, "It will take time to re-correct the distance and bearing."

Yu Ziwen "exhaled" and ordered: "Let the second battalion enter the position as quickly as possible!"

A large number of devil assault troops rushed to the position, and the commander of the third company ordered in a loud voice: "Throw grenades!" Come on! ”

"Boom Boom" "......"

After an explosion in front, more than sixty fighters of the third company got on their bayonets and rushed out of the position from a high position.

The spearhead reacted quickly, fighting in teams of two or three. Whether it is physical fitness, rifle performance, or stabbing skills, the national army has fallen behind, and all they can do is fight more desperately than devils.

At the rear command, a communications corpsman reported: "Report, the artillery on the left flank is ready, please indicate whether to shell or not." ”

The regiment commander Yu Ziwen looked at the position with a telescope, and his troops were completely defeated, seeing that the position fell into the hands of the enemy.

"Open fire."

Yu Ziwen's tone was low, and the order was so weak.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

Artillery shelling was carried out on the heights of the left flank to the heights of the right flank. In the midst of artillery fire, the soldiers on both sides still engaged in a bloody battle to the death, and neither of them would back down.

The follow-up devils ignored the artillery fire and continued to charge forward, supporting the vanguard to occupy the enemy position. Capture one place and turn the tide of the battlefield.

"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

At this critical moment, the main reinforcements of the second battalion were in place.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

The soldiers in the vanguard rushed out of the position directly and used this submachine gun to shoot wildly at the dense area of devils.

"Drive the devil down the mountain for me, kill!"

The commander of the second battalion led the main force to charge directly, and the soldiers of the second battalion rushed down the mountain like tigers and fought with the devils. And at this time, the shelling on the opposite side began to stop.

After a bloody battle, the second battalion took advantage of the geographical advantage and the number of people and drove the devils down the mountain. In this battle, more than 200 enemies were annihilated.

The devil Wang Ba ate the scales with an iron heart, and decided that the right wing was their breakthrough. Only if the right flank is occupied, it is not a problem to attack the left flank with the advantage of artillery fire. Then use the two commanding heights to launch an artillery bombardment against the main force of the 31st Brigade, and the second direction of the national army will naturally break through easily.

As a result, the devils changed their tactics and did not attack from the front, but detoured back to another hill on the right flank, so that the opposing high ground on the left flank could not deploy artillery support.

"Report! The forward sentry reported that a large number of Japanese troops were heading northwest, intending to attack the flank of our right flank. ”

At the headquarters of the 31st Brigade, the signal corps reported to the brigade commander Wang Yan on the movements of the Japanese army.

Wang Yan smiled indifferently and said, "They are looking for death, let them go." Tell the 62 regiment to open your mouth at any time if reinforcements are needed. ”

"Yes!"

The Messenger turned and left.

The reason why Wang Yan was calm and calm was because he arranged a surprise army between the left and right flanks and the adjacent mountains.

When the devil's detour troops came to the foot of the right flank mountain, they suddenly killed thousands of ambush soldiers from the woods on both sides of the hillside, and this strange army was the independent regiment that had retreated before. When retreating independently to the second line of defense, it was divided into two, and the task was to be responsible for the security of the rear of the two wings.

"Kill, kill, kill" and "......"

Between the two mountains, the shouts of killing resounded through the mountains and forests.

"Boom Boom", "......", "Da Da Da", "......"

Countless grenades and bullets slanted down from the middle of the mountain, and the devil died countless times in a moment. The independent regiment took the opportunity to rush down the mountain and dealt the devil the most fatal blow.

The follow-up devils were frightened when they saw this, and they withdrew to the camp one after another.

The second line of defense of the 11th Division, the 31st Brigade made excellent use of the advantages of geographical advantages, coupled with strong firepower, and the devils did not move forward an inch. However, this is not their main course, it is the 11th Brigade of the 33rd Division that really wants to sing the leading role.
