Chapter 526: The Siege (3)


The 75 th Mountain Artillery Platoon and the 82 Mortar Company of the 65 th Regiment followed closely behind and joined the bombardment of the high ground, and the small high ground was instantly covered by shells, two 75-mm Bofors mountain guns, two 70-mm 92 infantry guns, and eight 20-year-old 82 mortars, one in front and one behind, forming an artillery group, wreaking havoc on the Takeda Brigade.

The heights were dusty by the continuous shelling, and the 75 grenades and the 70 mm shrapnel of the 92 infantry guns caused the greatest casualties to the infantry, and the Japanese soldiers squatted in the trenches, still unable to avoid the dense shrapnel attacks.

The shrapnel of Japanese-made howitzer shrapnel mixed with Swedish grenade shrapnel scattered and wounded on the top of the high ground, and during the shelling, there were constantly Japanese soldiers who were hit and fell in the trenches, and occasionally there were shells directly hit the trenches at the top of the high grounds, and an explosion was a pool of blood, and the Japanese army's own 92 infantry shells have now become the most advantageous weapon for killing and injuring themselves, which is really extremely ironic.

More than 400 people of the Takeda Brigade were blocked on the high ground, and the bombing was very miserable, and on the slope under the top of the high ground, there were several craters that were nearly missed, and white smoke was emitting from the craters, and the soil was boiling hot, and in the sand and soil set off by the explosion of the shells, you could see a lot of Japanese stumps and broken arms, and the lone army was stationed on the high ground, and the fortifications were not perfect, and the Takeda Brigade had to silently endure the fierce shelling.

The artillery bombardment of the teaching brigade and the 65th Regiment lasted for 15 or 6 minutes, and dozens of shells were dropped on the high ground, and the officers and men of the teaching brigade waited in the trenches, staring intently at the high ground above, preparing to attack.

The engineer platoon of the teaching brigade and an infantry platoon of the third squadron that went to deal with the Japanese army's baggage heights had already returned to the position where the main force was located, and brought back a batch of captured Japanese supplies and ammunition, including nearly 100 rounds of Type 92 infantry shells, as well as seven or eight boxes of 7.7 mm Type 92 heavy machine gun shells.

In the position of the teaching brigade, Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy fire squadron, was on the front line with the infantry who were about to launch an assault from each squadron, and he transferred men from the three heavy machine gun platoons under his command to operate the Type 92 heavy machine guns captured from the Japanese army.

Three captured 92 heavy machine guns and nine ZB37 heavy machine guns of the Teaching Brigade, a total of 12 heavy machine guns, were in the first line, constituting covering machine gun fire, and the remaining squadron infantry, all rifles with bayonets, ready to fire.

The soldiers of He Jinhai's engineer platoon took out blasting canisters to prepare for the attack and blasting.

After 20 minutes of shelling, the 75-mm Bofors Mountain Artillery Platoon attached to the 65th Regiment of the friendly army first slowed down the intensity of the artillery bombardment, although the artillery bombardment was good, it was impossible to completely defeat the Japanese army, and in the final analysis, the Takeda Brigade still had to be taken by infantry inch by inch, and the shelling speed of the 75-mm Mountain Artillery Platoon was greatly reduced.

The most powerful 75 Mountain Cannon slowed down the fire, which was a signal to prepare for an infantry attack.

"The infantry is ready to attack," shouted Zhang Wei, who was in the front-line trench with bayonets nearby and his brothers in high morale.

"Preparing for an attack" The voices of the squad leaders and squadron leaders resounded one after another, conveying orders to the soldiers in the positions to prepare for the attack, and the heralds waved the red command flags captured from the Japanese artillery positions to signal to the artillery platoons in the rear that were firing at the enemy positions.

Soon, Dong Erli slowed down the shelling speed of the 92 infantry guns, the two guns that were hit with hot barrels, and the 92 infantry guns with trembling gun mirrors were finally able to relieve the excessive shooting pressure a little, and the two guns of the Takeda Brigade were used in the hands of the Japanese army, shooting, and the frequency of use was very high, and they were taught that the brigade raided the position, and there was already a lot of damage to the gun, and now Dong Erli commanded these two guns to fire fiercely, and these two infantry guns that were used with high intensity have been damaged in the inner chamber.

The frequency of the shelling decreased, and the continuous sound of explosions on the high ground became clear, intermittent explosions, and the soldiers of the two armies could clearly hear the sound of each shell falling and exploding.

Zhang Wei stood in the trench, turned around, behind him, around him, there were more than 600 brothers in the whole brigade, nearly 400 Zhongzheng rifles with bayonets, and the eyes of the soldiers were all focused on Zhang Wei, the captain of the brigade.

The officers and men of the teaching brigade were full of blood in everyone's hearts, and the shelling and the battle that had just raided the rear of the Takeda brigade made the blood and fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers greatly stimulated, and many brothers held back their strength, because everyone knew that this was the final battle.

The final moment of the general attack has arrived.

The rest of the battle was nothing more than a siege, an attack, the concentration of all forces, a breakthrough into the Japanese trenches, and a teaching brigade that in addition to the heavy fire squadron and the baggage platoon, three infantry squadrons and a combat engineer platoon, all of which were to be engaged in the attack on the heights.

Zhang Wei held a flower machine gun in his hand, the rank on the collar was also turned over, he was carrying a Zhongzheng rifle behind him, a bayonet pinned to his waist, three infantry squadron leaders, also fully armed, Mu Chao was holding a 38 cover captured from the Japanese army, Qiu Wei and Zheng Yiqun were both holding a Chinese-made Zhongzheng rifle, all with bayonets.

"Brothers, there are only so many little devils left, and now they are trapped on this broken mountain, in order to defeat them, we have killed a lot of brothers, and now, we are surrounding the devils, you say, what should we do?"

"Kill Them" "Kill the Dog" "Kill him and leave no piece of armor" The morale of the soldiers was high, and they shouted the slogans raised.

Zhang Wei held up the flower mechanism: "Okay, brothers, give it to me" After speaking, Zhang Wei took the lead in jumping out of the trench and picked up the flower machine gun.

"Rush" More than 500 soldiers with high blood and high morale rushed out of the trenches, shouting to kill, rushed out of the trenches, and strode forward, the soldiers quickly drowned Zhang Wei, and the officers and soldiers unanimously stormed the high ground The shouts of killing shook the sky.

Li Shaoyan, who stayed in the position, commanded twelve heavy machine guns to fire together, boldly raised the muzzle of the gun and fired at the high ground to cover the attack of the main force, twelve heavy machine guns, fired twelve lines of fire, the bullets went beyond the way of shooting, passed the infantry of the teaching brigade, and shot at the Japanese troops on the high ground, Li Shaoyan ordered to fire at full speed, before his own infantry entered a dangerous distance, to give the Japanese troops on the high ground enough suppression The two 92 infantry guns under the command of Dong Erli also kept firing and maintained their artillery fire on the enemy's high ground. :。
