Soon, a dull sound of shelling sounded from the mortar positions behind the mountain beams, and in less than a few seconds, a string of shells smashed into the Japanese positions and exploded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese troops here are worthy of the elite who experienced the bloody battle of Lushun, and after being shelled, they did not run around, but lay on the spot in the rudimentary trenches to avoid shells.

However, they did not expect that the Liaodong army did not use mountain artillery and field artillery, but mortars that could directly shoot shells into their trenches.

Although the Japanese quickly reacted to the shock caused by the shelling and lay down in the improvised trenches. Mortar shells falling from the sky still kept throwing them high from the trenches.

In less than half a minute, the Japanese position was shrouded in a very thick layer of gunsmoke, and the five fingers could not be seen.

As the shells continued, the smoke of gunpowder over the heads of the Japanese soldiers not only became more and more intense, but the fragments of shells flying everywhere around them also became denser.

If you are not careful, these fragments may kill the Japanese soldiers.

In this case, they can only lie on their stomachs in the unsafe trenches, and pray to God that the shells that keep falling from the sky will not fall on them.

This is, Liang Yu, who was hiding behind the mountain beam, decisively gave the order to attack.

Except for nine heavy machine guns and machine gunners who were left on the ridges, they stared at the Japanese positions below that were being covered by artillery fire, providing fire cover for the attacking troops at any time.

The remaining riflemen and light machine gunners quickly rushed down the hill beam.

In more than a minute, a regiment of more than 1,000 people with rifles and light machine guns rushed to 100 meters in front of the Japanese formation.

And at this time, the Japanese troops, who continued to be covered by artillery fire and could not even lift their heads from the trenches, did not find that the Liaodong Army had rushed in front of them.

Liang Yu, who held a pistol in his hand and attacked with the main force.

As soon as his eyes lit up, he immediately ordered his troops to continue to rush to the Japanese positions and prepare grenades.

When the troops rushed to sixty or seventy meters, a Japanese army finally saw the Liaodong Army close at hand through the smoke of gunpowder.

The soldier immediately alerted his comrades and officers, then picked up his rifle and got up from the trench, intending to fight back.

However, as soon as he loaded the rifle in his hand, a shell was left less than five meters away from him and exploded.

A piece of shell fragments flying at high speed easily pierced the soldier's back, digging a bloody hole in his back.

The first Japanese soldier to discover the Liaodong Army, with despair and unwillingness, let go of the rifle in his hand, and his whole body was weakly paralyzed in the trenches, life and death unknown.

The other Japanese soldiers who were reminded next to them were just about to show their bodies from the trenches to counterattack when they were frightened back. Facing the bloody corpses of their comrades-in-arms in front of them, they were pressed in the trench by artillery fire, so they could only lean their backs against the trench, raise their rifles, and aim their guns in the direction of the Liaodong Army.

As time passed, the sound of counter-fire on the Japanese positions became more and more intense, and even the sound of machine gun fire appeared.

However, under the baptism of shells falling overhead, the Japanese shooting was not accurate, and because the counterattack had to be half-crouched up from the trenches, the casualties of the troops in the shelling were increasing.

"Brothers, hurry, rush forward. All have grenades ready and greet the Japanese in front of them with grenades. Seeing that the troops had begun to suffer casualties, Liang Yu immediately urged.

Under the cover of 20 mortars behind them, although the Japanese army stared at the artillery fire and counterattacked, they still could not stop the Liaodong Army's attack.

After paying more than 100 casualties in a row, the first regiment finally rushed to a position thirty or forty meters in front of the formation.

At this time, the violent explosions that constantly sounded from the Japanese positions just stopped.

Liang Yu, who knew that time was running out, immediately ordered his subordinates to throw grenades.

Compared with a round of dozens of artillery shells, there were thousands of grenades, flying overwhelmingly towards the Japanese positions, some exploded after landing, some exploded in the air, and dense grenade fragments covered the entire Japanese position without dead ends.

Because of the lack of preparation, in the blink of an eye, the position slipped away, and six or seven hundred Japanese troops fell in the short but dense grenade explosion just now.

The first round of grenade explosions did not stop, and the second round of more than 1,000 grenades once again came over the heads of the Japanese troops.

A regiment of more than a thousand riflemen, who threw three rounds of grenades in a row before stopping,

Then, regardless of the sound of explosions on the Japanese position, he rushed to the Japanese position with a rifle with a bayonet already loaded.

The total strength of the Japanese army in one wing was nearly 3,500 men.

In the previous two-minute shelling of 20 mortars, even if the Japanese army hid in the trenches, 7 or 800 shells hit it, and the blind cat killed and injured nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers.

At the end of the shelling, more than 4,000 grenades were fired in three consecutive rounds, and even if two grenades killed and injured one Japanese soldier, it would be more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers who lost their lives.

So, when a group of rifles with bayonets already loaded, with light machine guns on the head, screamed and rushed towards the Japanese troops who were close at hand. There were less than 400 Japanese troops still moving on the entire position.

What's more, the less than 400 Japanese troops had been completely blown up in several rounds of explosions before and after.

Before he could react, or even react from the shock, the dense fire of thirty light machine guns covered the position.

Then the Liaodong Army, armed with rifles and bayonets, rushed to the position.

Seeing the Japanese army that could still move, no matter what it was, it was a bullet as soon as it came up.

Of course, there were also Japanese troops who reacted quickly to counterattack. However, they often shoot a single bullet to retaliate, and they can immediately summon dozens or even hundreds of rounds of retaliation.

Soon, all the remaining Japanese troops on the battlefield were wiped out.

Although the regiment lost another one or two hundred people for this, the head of the regiment, Liang Yu, was heartbroken and in a very good mood.

With the loss of less than a battalion, a replenishment wing of the Japanese army was eliminated, and it was also an offensive. In the past, Liang Yu couldn't even think of such a result. And now, this result is happening in front of his eyes, can he not be happy.

Looking at the follow-up special combat team members who rushed over and carried mortars and shells on their shoulders, the happy Liang Yu hurriedly greeted him.

"Captain Wang, the fact that you were able to take down a replenishment wing of the Japanese army is all due to your special operations squadron and these mortars. According to the order, I will continue to attack, I don't know if the brothers still have the strength to keep up! ”

"No problem, we just need Commander Liang to transfer the baggage company to help us transport the shells. The power of the mortar is great, but it consumes too many shells, and in just a few minutes, seven or eight hundred shells were fired. ”

Liang Yu didn't think about it and affirmed: "Yes, from now on, the baggage company will listen to your command." There is also the mountain artillery battalion, which lost a lot of artillery in today's artillery battle, and I will transfer all the redundant gunners to you and listen to your command.
