Chapter 241: The Battle for the Heights (Second Update)
Squadron Leader Masao Kosaka didn't notice that there was an ambush on the high ground in front of him, and commanded the troops to continue to advance, while the devil scout sat on the hillside, unbuttoned and cooled, without any combat tension, as if sitting on the mountain in front of their house, enjoying the surrounding mountain scenery and absorbing the moisture of the natural oxygen bar.
Lei Jian slowly raised his head, and with a telescope, he saw that the large army of devils was quickly approaching the high ground, closer, eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters, and when he was close to fifty meters, Lei Jian suddenly shouted: "Hit, give me a hard beating." ”
Machine guns, rifles, grenades, and at the same time at the approaching little devils, the ghost scouts who were close to the high ground in front of them were wiped out by the fierce fire of the high ground before they could figure out what was going on.
Masao Kosaka, who was cautious, thought that he had sent a scout and had already explored the high ground, so he boldly led his troops to approach the high ground, and was just about to order the troops to rest on the spot, when he was suddenly hit by heavy fire.
The little devil was blinded by the fierce fire for a while, and in a panic, he lay on the ground and shot back.
A company led by Lei Jian condescendingly attacked the little devils, and the unprepared devils were embarrassed.
Masao Kosaka, who had rich combat experience, promptly ordered his troops to retreat quickly, and used the cover of terrain, trees, and rocks to carry out the most fierce fire counterattack against the Eighth Route Army on the high ground.
Masao Kosaka ordered the mortars to be quickly set up, and the artillery positions were adjusted to fire on the high ground occupied by the Eighth Route Army.
Boom, boom, several shells bombarded the high ground in succession, the shells fell on the high ground, and the smoke of the explosion covered the entire high ground, and the soldiers suffered casualties.
In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, Lei Jian ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions and quickly retreat to the mountains behind the high ground.
Masao Kosaka ordered the artillery to carry out two rounds of artillery fire, and seeing that the high ground was filled with gunsmoke, he ordered his troops to occupy the high ground as quickly as possible and eliminate the dirt hachi road on the high ground.
He had already seen that there was only one company in the Tuba Road ambush in the high and low areas, but this company had excellent weapons and ammunition, and the Tuba Road had rich combat experience, so it was not an ordinary Tuba Road company, and in order to quickly occupy the high ground, he ordered the troops to take the high ground in one fell swoop while the smoke of gunfire on the high ground was still dissipated.
Seeing that the enemy's artillery fire had weakened, Lei Jian ordered the soldiers to immediately enter the position and strike hard at the attacking enemy.
Both sides were seizing the highest peak of the high ground, and Lei Jian's company was the closest, and soon occupied the high ground position, lying on the position destroyed by artillery fire, and carrying out the most fierce fire blocking the enemy who was about to attack him.
Kosaka Masashi looked at his imperial soldiers proudly, about to capture the heights of the Tsuhachi Road, he did not expect two rounds of artillery fire, he wiped out the Tsuchihachi Road on the heights, and was about to rush to the heights, suddenly suffered a devastating blow, in order to preserve his strength, not to engage the Tsuhachi Road head-on, immediately ordered the troops to retreat quickly.
The little devil retreated to the bottom of the mountain and took refuge behind trees, rocks, thorns and bushes, and ordered the mortars to open fire again to kill the dirt eight roads on the high ground.
Just when the little devil withdrew from the high ground and fled down the mountain, Wang Xiaoliang saw that Lei Jian had not given an order and took the opportunity to chase and kill the little devil, and shouted anxiously: "Battalion Commander Lei, you quickly give the order to countercharge, the opportunity is rare, hey, it really makes you die in a hurry." ”
"Wang Xiaoliang, have you found it? The devil commander who commanded this battle was very cunning, he did not advocate organizing a large army to attack, but used mortars to bombard our positions. ”
Lei Jian looked at the enemy fleeing down the mountain and said: "I can see that this cunning guy is waiting for us to take advantage of the victory to pursue us down the mountain, and then surround and destroy us with his absolute superiority of forces, can't you see it?" Not good, order the troops to withdraw from their positions immediately, the little devils are going to fire again. ”
He shouted and took the lead in withdrawing from his position, which is what he has always believed on the battlefield: to charge and kill the enemy, to be brave and first, to retreat like a tiger, and never let the little devils seize the slightest opportunity to destroy their own troops.
Just as the company quickly withdrew to the western slope of the high ground, the devil's shells fell on the position again and again, and the shells exploded in turn, as if plowing the high ground, and the little devil artillery fired another round of shells, and then stopped.
As soon as the thunder sword waved his hand, the warriors were like leopards climbing the mountain, quickly occupying the high ground position, and when they lay down, they launched a fierce fire strike against the attacking enemy.
Masao Kosaka looked at the attacking Imperial soldiers in disbelief, and then retreated down the hill to the bottom of the mountain under the powerful firepower of the Tsuchihachi Road, and he ordered the artillery to fire on the high ground again.
The leader of the artillery squad said in embarrassment: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, all the shells have been fired, and now there is not a single shell." ”
"Baga, you bastard, my squadron hasn't officially started a war with Tubalu, you just finish all the shells, you, you stupid pig, I really want to kill you." Masao Kosaka angrily grabbed the collar of the leader of the devil cannon squad and threw him away.
He knew that his squadron, as the vanguard force, went deep into the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and without artillery support, it was difficult to engage the Eighth Route Army, which was good at fighting mountain warfare, and besides, a mortar without shells was a pile of rotten iron.
Lei Jian looked at the position of Masao Kosaka's devil squadron with a telescope, the mortar was dumb, and he sneered: ", the little devil broke into the mountains with a mortar, how many shells can he bring?" In order to relieve the anger, all the shells were fired in one meal, and now the mortars have become a burden, and see how the little devils organize their firepower to attack the high ground of a company of our independent battalion. ”
Kosaka Masao's squadron lost artillery support, he organized two strong attacks on the heights of the Eighth Route Army under the cover of artillery fire, tested the firepower and personnel allocation of the Eighth Route Army on the heights, and said arrogantly: "With the strength of one company, the Eighth Route of the Earth is trying in vain to block my Kosaka Squadron from clearing the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army in Daze Mountain, hahaha, it's just a praying mantis blocking the car, how can I help me?" ”
He ordered the devils of the three squads, under the cover of heavy machine guns, to increase their firepower and capture the high ground of Tuba Road in one fell swoop.
The little devil shouted to launch the most fierce attack from the high ground on three sides, and the thunder sword suppressed by the firepower couldn't raise his head in a row, and resisted desperately, seeing that the devil was about to break through the forward position, the thunder sword shouted violently: "The grenades, light and heavy machine guns are all called to the devil group, repel the enemy's attack, and immediately retreat to Fengwang Mountain." ”
Kosaka Masao didn't pay attention to the Eighth Route Army of a company on the high ground at all, he commanded the troops to strengthen the firepower attack, and it was necessary to eliminate the Eighth Route Army on the high ground and open up the road to clear the Daze Mountain for the follow-up large army.
The devil went crazy to carry out a strong attack on the high ground, and the company of Lei Jian was tightly bitten by the enemy, and there was no chance to withdraw from the position at all, once surrounded by the enemy on the high ground, a company of soldiers could not break through the strong encirclement of the devil at all.
Wang Xiaoliang saw that the situation on the highlands was grim, he crawled to Lei Jian's side and shouted: "Battalion Commander Lei, the little devil is like Wang Ba, bite us and don't let go, if we don't withdraw from the highland, the whole company will be finished." ”
Li Gang shouted not far away: "Battalion Commander Lei, you lead the troops to withdraw from the position quickly, leave me a platoon to cover, act quickly, it will be completely late if you delay any longer." ”
It was the first time that Lei Jian had fought with the enemy in such a difficult battle, he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Bastard, this devil squadron is very capable of fighting, I see that the combat methods of the devil's commander are very similar to the captain of the Kameda Wing Masao Kosaka, if this guy is really this guy, then the Japanese army that suddenly invaded the Osawa Mountain base must be hiding a sinister military operation." ”
"Battalion Commander Lei, we don't care which bastard commands this unit now, if we want to save the lives of the soldiers, we can only withdraw from the high ground and move closer to Fengwang Mountain." Wang Xiaoliang shouted and threw a grenade into the group of devils.
Li Gang couldn't help but roar: "Battalion Commander Lei, don't grind anymore, I'll cover, you quickly lead the troops to withdraw from the high ground." ”
Lei Jian didn't say a word, jumped to the heavy machine gun on the position, pushed away the machine gunner, pulled the trigger and kept swinging the machine gun, and the bullets that flew out swept in the place where the devils were crowded, Kosaka Masao, who was hiding in the group of devils, saw the Eighth Route Army on the high ground, and organized fire to attack his troops like crazy, and the attacking Imperial Army soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground, rolling down the high ground, he angrily drew his command knife and ordered: "Increase the offensive firepower, kill and give." ”
The two armies confronted each other, and Lei Jian knew this way of soldiering, but his company could not compete with a squadron of devils, and the Japanese army repeatedly charged, not caring about the casualties of the troops at all, and was determined to capture the high ground and eliminate the Eighth Route Army on the position.
Masao Kosaka brandished his command knife and ordered his troops to enter the front line of the Eighth Route Army in the highlands, and they must destroy this desperate and stubborn Eighth Route Army.
