The movement began to grow louder and louder, and before long, a large number of enemies appeared on the road not far away.

"Sure enough."

Zhang Tianhai, who had discovered the enemy's movements, put down his binoculars, muttered in a low voice, and then said: "I will leave now, and at the same time report the information to the forward position, you will arrive later, and at the same time pay attention to whether the surroundings are safe." Also, as soon as a radio communication is given, leave immediately and do not stop in one place. Send the information here, and our mission here will be completed, so there is no need to make too much contact with the enemy, understand? ”

"Understood."

Zhang Tianhai nodded, turned around and left the place.

This time the enemy was much more powerful than the first time, and in addition to being more numerous, there were also more heavy weapons. Smaller ones, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, anti-aircraft individual missiles, etc., are also available, and larger ones, such as mortars, howitzers, self-propelled guns, etc., can also be seen, but the larger caliber is relatively less.

The terrain in the battle area is complex, and there are very few positions that can be attacked, so these large-caliber artillery guns need to be in a very good position to attack the positions of the Chinese troops, and at the same time, the positions of the two sides are also very close, once the distance is too close, the artillery may not be able to attack the position.

The limitation of the firing range, coupled with the limitation of the terrain, makes the use of artillery in this area have many problems, so the number of artillery units is not very large, and it is not suitable to be arranged too much, otherwise it can be used as a live target to be beaten.

But the role of mortars is much greater. This thing is small, lightweight, can ignore the terrain to create strikes, is suitable for movement, and will still have good attack results even if it is erected on a forward position. This thing doesn't have the same range as artillery. But in this case, the positions of the two sides are not very far apart, and they are completely within the range of mortars.

Naturally, the power is not as good as that of artillery, but this can also be used to make up for the lack of power.

So in this second wave of the offensive, the Japanese troops carried a large number of mortars to attack the fortifications.

If the Chinese troops do not take any precautions, they will definitely suffer a big loss this time. Yang Hao and the others also didn't know if their information would be useful. Now even if it is reported to the troops on the position, I don't know if they have made some preparations for this in advance, if not, then this loss is basically a certainty.

The number of enemy troops is about one regiment, which is about half of the previous one, but if you count the increase brought by weapons and materials, then this second wave of offensive is much, much more powerful than the first wave. I hope your troops are prepared in advance.

When the entire army almost left in front of their eyes, everyone slowly began to retreat, and turned on the radio to contact Zhang Tianhai: "After the reconnaissance, the strength of a regiment, which has a small amount of artillery, but a large number of mortars and anti-aircraft individual missiles, and the heavy firepower is much stronger than before, so you need to be prepared." ”

"Roger. Immediately retreat and proceed as planned. ”

Meanwhile. Zhang Tianhai switched to the channel of the third battalion and began to call: "This is the black saber squad, the direction of the third battalion, please answer if you receive it." ”

"Three revenues have arrived, please speak."

"The enemy has begun a second wave of offensive, which is expected to be launched within an hour. Be prepared. The enemy has a small amount of artillery, a large number of mortars, anti-aircraft missiles and other heavy firepower, so be prepared. ”

"Also, there's a coordinate for you to remember. It's a small village on the way, an outpost for enemy scouts, and you can call in artillery to bomb it later, the decision is yours. ”

After speaking, Zhang Tianhai told the commander of the third battalion the coordinates of the small village.

"Three revenues arrived. Black Saber Squad, your mission is accomplished, thank you, be careful along the way. ”

"Understood, good luck to you."

cut off the communication, Zhang Tianhai no longer turned on the radio. With such a large force, Zhang Tianhai didn't dare to guarantee whether the other party had anti-electronic equipment, but he still sailed carefully for ten thousand years, anyway, everyone knew the assembly point and destination after that, and the current task was probably completed, and they all knew what to do next.

The battlefield here has nothing to do with itself, the battle will be carried out on the previous battlefield, and now that I am in this position, I can't touch the edge of the battlefield at all, and now I go back and basically definitely meet the enemy first. Don't forget that you're now deep behind enemy lines, and if you are spotted by the enemy in this position, you basically don't have to run.

In this case, when he returns to the battlefield, it is estimated that both sides have fought almost completely, and he will not be able to play any role at all.

Therefore, after Zhang Tianhai discussed with the commander of the third battalion, he reported the situation to his superiors, so he temporarily changed the mission objectives of the black saber squad.

Zhang Tianhai actually didn't throw Yang Hao and the others too far, after running out for a while, he stopped, and about twenty minutes later, he saw everyone behind him.

All of them will meet, cross the road ahead, enter the woods, and head for their next mission.

On the position, the soldiers of the three battalions were all ready to fight.

However, the difference is that there are more people in the position, and the original place for the wounded to rest, the number of wounded is also much less, and there are a lot more supply boxes in some more hidden places, some of which have been opened, and they are either shells, or various ammunition, bullets and other materials.

Not only the reinforcement of the Japanese troops came, but the rear support units of the Chinese troops also arrived!

In fact, they arrived a little earlier than the Japanese troops, and two or three hours after Zhang Tianhai and others left, the vanguard troops arrived first with a group of medical personnel and emergency supplies. It is also with this batch of first-aid supplies and doctors that the injuries of those wounded can be controlled, otherwise the medical soldiers here alone will not be able to take care of so many wounded people, and at the same time, they were parachuted in before, and they did not carry many medical supplies, and this batch of first-aid supplies is what the current army needs most.

Follow-up troops arrived one after another, trucks with them transported the wounded and dead to the rear, and the arrival of follow-up troops filled the gap in the three battalions and strengthened the frontal defense of the area.

Naturally, there could not be only such a small number of troops arriving in the position, and the troops stationed in the position were actually only a small part, and most of the troops were scattered and hidden in the mountains after a little rest. The troops were broken into pieces, with the primary objective of avoiding the enemy's field of view, and during these truces, they were completely hidden in the mountains surrounding the positions.

Once a fight starts, then these forces will be regrouped in the shortest possible time to attack enemy units from the flank. Coupled with the firepower of the frontal position, I believe that it will still be able to suppress the opponent.

The commander of the third battalion stood with the officers of the troops who came to support him, and at the same time received the information reported by Zhang Tianhai.

"Be careful, although the power of mortars is not too great, but the number of them is also very scary." The commander of the third battalion tapped his fingers on the map on the table and said with a frown.

And the officer of the support force smiled: "It's not a big problem. As long as the forward positions can hold up, then other problems are not a problem. Tell the soldiers to dig the bunkers and foxholes a little bigger and hide them a little deeper, so that when the enemy attacks, we do not seek to kill or inflict any wounds, but only one thing is that we cannot let the enemy rush to the front of the position, and we can ensure this. When the time is ripe, let the flank troops flank the flanks. The power of the mortars is great, I don't deny it, but in a hurry, it is impossible for them to attack the troops on both flanks separately, otherwise, the firepower of the frontal position cannot be underestimated. ”

The third battalion nodded: "You're right. ”

Then he turned his head to the soldier next to him and said, "Give the order and do it." ”

"Yes." The soldier answered, then quickly turned away.

"There's at least half an hour to prepare, so it's definitely not perfect, but you can do as much as you can. Xiao Wang, how many mortars do we have in our hands? ”

Xiao Wang is a logistics officer in the army who manages munitions and supplies. Hearing the battalion commander's question, he immediately replied: "There are twelve mortars that can still be used, and there are 130 shells." ”

The officer next to him interjected: "I also have sixteen mortars and two hundred shells there, all for you to use, right in the back of the truck." ”

"Thank you." The commander of the third battalion nodded and continued: "That is twenty-eight guns, and I estimate that this number will definitely not be able to fight the enemy." Xiao Wang, tell your men to withdraw from the defensive line and place mortars, just five hundred meters behind the position. The landing point of the shells was set in this area. ”

The pen in the battalion commander's hand drew a circle on the map, and that position was only about five hundred meters away from his position, and this position and distance were obviously unable to directly attack the enemy, so the battalion commander's intention was obvious.

This second wave of the enemy's offensive seemed to have some imperative victory, so the battalion commander deliberately avoided its edge, and did not fight it head-on, and completely adopted a posture of shrinking his head and defending.

The number of their own mortars is not as large as that of the other party, and if they bombard, the enemy will grasp the position of their mortar position, and if a salvo is fired, their losses will be very severe, so the battalion commander did not have the idea of fighting with the enemy head-on to suppress each other at the beginning, it was purely uncomfortable.

But your mortar bombardment, you can't keep bombing, right? The infantry units still have to press up behind, and when you get closer, then the advantage is completely on the side of the Chinese troops, but the establishment of a firepower network, coupled with mortar bombardment, it is not so easy for the Japanese troops to break through the defense line in one fell swoop.
