Chapter 125: Fierce Battle on Jiming Mountain (First Update)
Niu Dali shouted nervously: "In order to keep the position, for the safety of the detachment headquarters, today we are out of the way, fight to the death with the enemy, kill, kill, kill the little devilββγ β
The enemy's strength and firepower stubbornly suppressed the first battalion and the guard company that held their positions, and they had to be forced to retreat to the second line of defense.
Niu Dali saw that the second line of defense was about to be lost, and the devils had jumped out of the first line of defense and launched an attack on the second line of defense, and the vanguard of the devils had stepped into the front line of the second line of defense.
He stood up with his rifle in his hand and shouted: "Give me bayonets, engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and be sure to drive the little devil off Jiming Mountain." β
Commander Liu picked up a rifle from the hand of a fallen soldier and carried the gun into the enemy group.
At the critical juncture when the enemy and us were about to start hand-to-hand combat, a battalion and a company led by Lei Jian quickly entered the high ground east of Jiming Mountain, and ordered Wang Xiaoliang to give full play to the powerful firepower of light and heavy machine guns to attack the little devils who occupied the first line of defense.
Lei Jian adjusted the orientation of the four mortars and ordered the artillery squad to open fire on the enemy group.
One shell after another, accurately landed on the attacking enemy group between the first line of defense and the second line of defense in Jiming Mountain, and the shell exploded and blew away the corpse of the little devil, which was already shattered when it fell, with legs and arms separated and flesh and blood splashed.
Wing Captain Tokugawa Mitsuo did not expect that the small high ground east of Jiming Mountain would suddenly burst out with the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and he ordered a squadron of little devils to immediately attack the small high ground occupied by Lei Jian, forcing the enemy to disperse his forces, and relieving the enemy's strong firepower pressure on the position of the first battalion of Jiming Mountain.
Lei Jian didn't expect the devil commander to command so decisively, and before the second round of artillery fire was over, the little devil howled and pounced on the small high ground.
The small heights were not high, and the entire area of the heights was not large, and it was already very difficult for a company of troops to hide behind the heights, but now it suddenly appeared in front of the heights to strike at the enemy, and they were all exposed to the enemy's firepower.
Lei Jian saw that the little devil had been mobilized, and he ordered another round of artillery bombardment from mortars to support the battle of Jiming Mountain.
A squadron of little devils dealt with a company of Lei Jian on the high ground, and it was very obvious that there was a great disparity in strength and firepower, and if he blindly resisted the enemy, a company of Lei Jian would soon be wiped out by the enemy.
Lei Jian didn't wait for the little devil who pounced on him to get close to the position, so he ordered to withdraw immediately, move closer to Jiming Mountain, and use the height of the mountain on the flank of Jiming Mountain to block the little devil who withdrew from the position and was occupied by the enemy, and used the high ground to continue to attack Jiming Mountain.
Seeing the cunning of the Thunder Sword, the captain of the Tokugawa Wing saw the cunning of the Thunder Sword's arrangement, and he sneered: "A little trick, you dare to play tricks in front of me." β
He ordered the mortars to bombard the flank position occupied by Lei Jiangang in Jiming Mountain, and this small force must be eliminated from Jiming Mountain, so that it will be more beneficial to attack Jiming Mountain.
Lei Jian saw that the devil's mortar had been transferred, and he ordered Wang Xiaoliang: "You take two platoons to stick to this position, don't fight to the death with the enemy, just contain it." β
He led a platoon to quickly evacuate to the east of Jiming Mountain, and in a short time disappeared into the woods.
The commander of the devil, who easily occupied the small heights, took off the steel helmet on his head, and shook the steel helmet in his hand fiercely to Tokugawa Daisa, who was standing in command of the first line of defense of Jiming Mountain, and shouted: "Yexi, the high ground of the Dirt Eight Road is occupied by me, hahaha." β
Just when the devil commander was arrogantly celebrating the victory, a bullet flew out of the woods south of the high ground with a sharp whistling, and before the devil commander could finish laughing, a bullet drilled into his head, and a large hole was burst in his head, and red and white things gushed out, and before the instant excitement could be implemented, he was killed by the bullet fired by the thunder sword.
Tokugawa Daisa, who was standing on Mt. Jiming, saw the leader of the devil squadron who fell after the gunshot, and he cursed hysterically: "Tubalu, you killed my squadron leader, I will, I will kill you with a knifeββγ β
He roared and pointed his command knife forward: "Warriors of the Empire, attack the second line of defense of the Dirt Eight Road, and you must destroy the Dirt Eight Roads of this Zhi Na Pig. β
The devils began to pour shells and bullets into the second line of defense of the first battalion with the greatest and most fierce firepower, and the little devils at the front of the position were like gladiatorial bulls, rushing towards the second line of defense of the first battalion with their guns down.
The battlefield situation of the second line of defense is very critical, if there are no reinforcements, it will be difficult to hold on, and it will not take long for the devils to break through.
Besides, Lei Jian ordered Wang Xiaoliang to block the little devils on the high ground, in order to reduce the enemy's fire pressure on Wang Xiaoliang's position, he took a platoon to retreat into the woods behind Jiming Mountain and hid in the woods.
He ordered the soldiers with good marksmanship: "Pay attention to the little devils who have just withdrawn from the small high ground and have been occupied by the devils, look for the devil commanders, old veterans and health guards in the enemy group, aim at one and kill one of them, and act immediately." β
Lei Jian aimed at the devil commander who was standing on the high ground, waving the steel helmet in his hand, calmly pulled the trigger, and with a 'snap' gunshot, the devil commander fell headlong on the high ground.
Several soldiers with good marksmanship found their targets separately and focused on beating the devil commander and the veteran, and the continuous gunfire rang out, and the devil commander and veteran on the high ground saw the earth eight roads hiding in the woods to beat them, and they were so frightened that they quickly lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
The thunder sword was a tactic that made the little devils who occupied the heights frightened, and they didn't dare to run down the mountain, for fear of exposing themselves to the guns of the Tubalu sharpshooters and killing them with one blow, so they had to lie on the ground and didn't dare to move.
A devil squad leader lay on the high ground and shouted: "Imperial warriors, there are less than a dozen people in the woods, rush into the woods quickly, and kill them all." β
The little devil stood up tremblingly, and before he could move he began to shoot at the woods.
Lei Jian ordered: "Now only the sharpshooter shoots the little devil, and the other fighters do not expose the target and do a good job of concealment." β
The leader of the devil squad took the initiative to take over the position of the fallen squadron leader, and led the little devil to suddenly rush towards the woods like crazy.
As soon as Lei Jian saw that a few sharpshooters had attracted so many little devils, he ordered fiercely: "Each soldier will shoot at the target of the devil and shoot again, shoot five bullets per person, and immediately retreat into the depths of the woods." β
He ordered the platoon leader: "You take the sharpshooters and lure the enemy to retreat to the southeast, and once the enemy wants to flee, immediately follow and continue to lure, and remember to me that you must not fall in love with the battle, and accept it when you see it." β
Lei Jian took the rest of the soldiers of the company, quickly left the woods, and went forward to reinforce Jiming Mountain.
At this time, the first battalion and the guard company, which had retreated to the second line of defense, saw that the position was about to be broken by the enemy, Niu vigorously shouted and led the soldiers to kill and start hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
The Tokugawa Wing was attacked by the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, and I don't know how many reinforcements there were, and it was about to capture the second line of defense of the Eighth Route Army.
Commander Liu saw that with the reinforcement of the first company of Lei Jian, he repelled the strong attack of the devils of the two squadrons of Tokugawa, and immediately ordered his troops to take the opportunity to regain the first line of defense.
Under the fire of the front and flanks of the Eighth Route Army, the two squadrons led by Tokugawa quickly retreated to the foot of Jiming Mountain.
Lei Jian's first company joined the first battalion again, and he said to Commander Liu: "Commander Liu, according to the battlefield situation, it seems that you are going to implement the second set of combat plans, right?" β
"You ghost, why, you stinky boy can see it?"
"Commander, the two wings and a mixed brigade of the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army now seem to have been entangled by the two regiments of the Fifth Detachment and the Seventh Detachment, the enemy has concentrated superior forces to carry out the clearance, and has been lured by us to divide in different battlefields, at this time, the Eighth Route Army does not need to retreat into the deep mountains to deal with the enemy, it is completely possible to fight separately with the enemy in the wide plain under Jiming Mountain, and move up to kill the enemy, and will definitely defeat the enemy's clearance."
"You little thunder sword, how can you see the battlefield situation so thoroughly? Who you are. Commander Liu not only paused to look at Lei Jian, as if he didn't know this half-haired child.
