Chapter 416: Folding Bowl Mountain

In accordance with Kuribayashi Tadamichi's orders, Oribayama soon sent two squadrons of 360 people to reinforce the 382 heights. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, it was night, and the devils were also worried that there would be confusion between each other, and at the same time, the troops of Oriba Mountain could only send so many reinforcements.

Of course, these reinforcements must not come back after they go out...... The narrowest position on the front of Oribo Mountain is only 800 meters wide, which is not only conducive to the defense of the devils, but also conducive to the blockade of the Chinese army, and even a battalion of nearly 1,000 troops of the Chinese army has set up an ambush on the road.

However, the troops who were ambushed on the road watched these Japanese soldiers pass by under their guns...... Their task was to ensure that the Japanese troops in Oriba Mountain could only enter and exit.

The main reason for this is the fear that the strategic objectives will be exposed too early.

If an ambush war starts at this time, Tadamichi Kuribayashi will be shocked...... Does the fact that the Chinese army had long expected that it would send reinforcements to the 382 Heights and set up an ambush on the road in advance, does that mean that the Chinese army has other purposes? So I quickly thought of Oriba Mountain......

Therefore, to a certain extent, this battle can be said to use the troops of the second regiment and the first battalion as a decoy, a bait to attract the firepower and attention of the Japanese army.

According to the general people's opinion, this may be a little unfair to the soldiers of the second regiment and the first battalion...... But the battlefield is like this, each unit has its own tasks, sometimes the tasks are easier, sometimes the tasks are heavier, and it is impossible to achieve a bowl of water for each unit.

In fact, the task of a group is not easy at all.

At this time, they were carefully emerging from the sea water like ghosts, and then tiptoeing ashore the waterproof equipment wrapped in the poncho, and took out the equipment as quickly as possible to arm themselves.

At the same time, dozens of warriors at the head carried ropes on their backs and climbed along the cliff like monkeys towards the Origashi Mountain...... They are scouts of a regiment, the best of the best.

At this time, their role is to open up the way for the troops and expand the space for relative safety...... You must know that there are more than 3,000 people in a regiment, and there will always be some of these 3,000 people who are not up to the mark, or because of one or another problem, and if there are scouts in front of them, the danger in this regard will be reduced as much as possible.

The scouts lived up to expectations, and they silently wiped out the Japanese sentries along the way...... The actual difficulty of this point is much lower than Zhang Chi and others imagined, originally Zhang Chi and others always thought that the Japanese army was condescending, and any poke their heads or the soldiers made some noises or something might cause the devil to be alert, and once discovered by the Japanese army...... The expeditionary force could only storm on the cliffs, and the difficulty was obvious.

But the truth is...... In these sea-facing directions, the Japanese had only a few sentries, and these sentries were even open sentries...... Most of them were shining at the sea with flashlights and searchlights, and the scouts knew their location with little effort.

On the other hand, even if the soldiers of the expeditionary force made a little noise, it was muffled by the sound of artillery because the Japanese troops in Oriba Mountain were busy firing artillery at the 382 heights.

Everything went smoothly, and the scouts quickly climbed to the top of the hill and unknowingly took control of a foothold, then secured the rope and threw the other end down.

The rest was easy, and one by one the warriors climbed up the rope.

It should be said that this was a well-formulated plan, and the Japanese army did not notice the movements of the Chinese army from beginning to end, and when they were still panicking because of the loss of the position on the top of the 382 Heights, the Chinese army was already like ants densely clinging to the cliffs on the three seaside sides of the Oribo Mountain.

Of course, part of this is due to the fact that the mountain itself is not very high, only more than 100 meters.

According to the memories of the soldiers who participated in this battle after the war...... Sometimes we pass through a lot just a meter away from the devil's hole facing the sea, and we can even hear their conversation, and we can see a little starlight coming out of their smoking. I felt the urge to throw a grenade into it, but I resisted it, and I'm sure the others were like me.

If they could, the Chinese troops could have even started the battle later, but by the end of the day, the foothold opened up by the scouts on the hilltop was already overcrowded and there was no place to stand.

So the townsfolk had to give the order to attack.

Of course, this so-called attack is not a rush forward with a burst of shouts, it will only allow the enemy to flee back to the tunnel and organize a defense in the first place.

The soldiers still carried out Zhang Chi's orders...... As long as it is not discovered by the enemy, it will not be actively exposed. One by one, they touched the enemy's defense lines and key points, touching those who could touch them, and lurking those who could lurk.

It wasn't until a Japanese soldier screamed that he alarmed the other Japanese soldiers that the soldiers suddenly launched a thunderous blow at the Japanese defense line, and the Japanese artillery at this time was even firing shells one after another at the 382 heights...... The deafening sound of the cannon made them unaware of the darkness in their vicinity.

This onslaught of the Chinese army was fatal to the Japanese troops at Oribayama.

Because it's not just a matter of occupying the position on the top of Mt. Oriba...... Mt. Oriba is a semi-extinct volcano, and its summit position is actually not very large, and it cannot accommodate more than 3,000 people at all.

However, in the middle of Mt. Oriba was a sunken crater, which was an excellent artillery position for the Japanese army...... The artillery here refers to howitzers and mortars, these more curved artillery, whose shells can cross the protruding hilltop to attack the target on the other side, and at the same time, because of the cover of the hilltop, it is difficult to suppress the enemy's bullets, direct shells, and even curved artillery because they cannot see the target.

At this time, the Japanese army also used these curved guns to carry out fire reinforcement on the 382 heights...... This is because the 382 Heights are higher than the Oriba Mountains, and it is difficult for anti-aircraft guns with relatively straight ballistics to hit the summit of the 382 Heights, which are located at a high place.

As a result, the location of these artillery positions and the tunnels used to hide them were all exposed to the fighters...... Of course, the fighters would not give up such a good opportunity, and secretly lurked near these artillery pieces early in the morning and waited.

As soon as the battle began, grenades and submachine guns desperately greeted the Japanese artillerymen, who could almost be said to have no weapons, and some even sprayed flamethrowers at the devils......

However, it was later found that it was not wise to use flamethrowers at this time, because most of these guns fell into the hands of the Chinese troops and could still be used, and the flamethrowers could not be used once they burned, and worse, they would detonate the shells and cause accidental injuries.
