There are still fragments of stumps and flesh under the feet of the officers and men of the assault force, and these flesh and blood just show that the area where the officers and men are now attacking is the area where the Japanese army opened fire on the 598th Regiment.
Zhang Wei was in the center of the 13rd Squadron, holding a flower machine gun and two long-handled grenades pinned to his waist.
In the shouting of killing, bayonets are like a forest, Zhang Wei followed the soldiers to storm together, surrounded by the soldiers of a squadron, Qiu Wei's squadron headquarters was also here, enduring the scorching heat, Zhang Wei accelerated his pace and rushed to the front of the high ground, Zhang Wei's heart was also very nervous, he had a rough idea of the Japanese army's defensive arrangement, but he still couldn't help but worry, now the troops followed up under the cover of artillery fire, and the Japanese troops on the high ground did not fire "Qiu Wei, look at it, you must fire the flare gun accurately in a while."
Gradually approaching the top of the high ground, Zhang Wei shouted and reminded Qiu Wei.
"Yes" Qiu Wei bent down and took out a flare gun, ready to signal the artillery.
As agreed with the artillery, the artillery fire was steadily extended and fired at the top of the Japanese high ground, and when the assault troops rushed to a certain distance and wanted to storm and occupy the main position of the Japanese army, the assault troops fired red signal flares into the sky, and the artillery saw the signal flares and immediately stopped the shelling.
The battle is about to come to a critical juncture.
With the help of artillery fire, the assault force has shortened the firing distance of the Japanese army, delayed the firing time of the Japanese army, and the effectiveness of the eight mountain field artillery pieces has been played very well by the assault force, and the infantry of the assault force has all deployed and rushed to the middle of the highland.
Four or five meters away, several sporadic observation posts in front of him had all died under the shelling of the assault troops, and the regiment was almost wiped out, but the field telephone next to him was still usable because of the good construction quality of the Japanese communications unit, the telephone line was buried under the soil layer and was not blown up by the shells.
This group of Japanese observation posts in the middle of the high ground was also covered by artillery fire, and the Japanese observation post with a broken leg, gritted his teeth, endured severe pain, grabbed the field telephone line under his body, and attacked the assault troops on the high ground, and had already killed the middle of the highlands.
"Enemy Infantry, Enemy Infantry" After the Japanese observation post roared these two voices, a wave of air fell vertically from the sky, and with a bang, a 75-millimeter mountain artillery shell exploded on the ground, directly hitting the foxhole, and the Japanese observation post completed the task he was supposed to complete, and then was torn apart by the shell along with the telephone The overwhelming shouts of killing followed, and the officers and men of the assault force rushed to the middle of the highland, and further on, it was the top of the Luotang Heights, where the main defensive force of the Japanese army was located.
"Boom Boom" The artillery in the rear may also have a premonition of the key node, wanting to provide more cover for the attacking infantry, and the artillery shelling speed has also accelerated, and the drop shells from the middle of the high ground quickly rolled to the top of the high ground, and the main deployment area of the Japanese army, the saddle of the high ground, are all falling bullets.
Among the assault troops, looking at the rolling in covering artillery fire, covering the main deployment area of the Japanese army, Zhang Wei bent down and nodded at Qiu Wei beside him.
Qiu Wei obeyed Zhang Wei's order, took a flare gun, and fired a red signal flare into the sky.
In the air above the high ground, the red signal flare flew into the air and fell slowly, and in the rear, the observation sergeant of the mountain field artillery company, which had long been agreed with the assault force, had been staring at the sky above the high ground and saw the red signal flare, and the capable observation sergeant immediately raised the red flag and signaled to the artillery in the rear to cease fire, and within less than a minute of the signal flare being fired, the eight mountain artillery pieces stopped one after another and stopped the shelling of the Luotang Heights.
The main defensive area of the Japanese army was plowed by artillery fire, and now, as soon as the shelling stopped, the high ground was full of gunpowder smoke after the shelling, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the officers and men of the assault unit quickened their pace and rushed to the top of the high ground.
The rest of the impact distance had to be gnawed by the assault troops themselves, and more than 100 bright bayonets opened the way and went straight to the main defense area of the Japanese army on the Luotang Heights.
Zhang Wei shouted, "Disperse the brethren and rush forward" "Spread Out" As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the Japanese did not fire, and the assault troops hurried to make a series of adjustments.
The veterans also shouted, the first and third squadrons that rushed to the front were further dispersed and charged towards the high ground, and Zhang Wei had already given some battle orders to the troops before he stopped the shelling, the first and third squadrons, the mortar platoon, and the heavy machine gun platoon, were going all out to attack the high ground, and the engineer platoon and the battle defense artillery squad were moving towards the saddle of the Luotang Heights while breaking through, and the losses in front of the saddle of the friendly 598th Regiment when they attacked the Luotang Heights were heavy, Zhang Wei still vividly remembers them, Zhang Wei was not stupid enough to let his infantry rush the saddle machine gun position and knock out the saddle machine gun position, so he handed over the blasting canisters of the battle defense artillery squad and the engineer platoon, and the blasting canisters of the battle defense artillery and engineer platoon could not have been better at dealing with the Japanese machine gun position.
This was the attack method of the assault troops, which divided the Japanese troops on the Luotang Heights into two parts, with the main force of infantry attacking the top of the Luotang Heights, and using the engineer platoon with the battle defense artillery to attack the saddle of the highlands to support each other.
"Brothers, kill the past and capture the high ground" The voice of Zheng Yiqun, the leader of the third squadron, came from afar, Zheng Yiqun got the main attack task with the first squadron, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he was not alone at all, holding twenty rings, leading the charge in the center of the third squadron, this voice was full of energy, Zheng Yiqun's performance was exactly what Zhang Wei wanted to see.
Zhang Wei let the troops carry out their own attack deployment, and with the 1st and 3rd squadrons, rushed to the top of the high ground, and the artillery fire stopped for just over a minute now, and the impact could never be unharmed, and he estimated that the Japanese army's counterattack was about to begin.
On the high ground, the Japanese defenders who had been pressed by artillery fire for a long time began to show their fangs, and in the trenches, foxholes, and hidden machine gun positions, there were also Japanese defenders in the light and dark forts, pushing away the corpses around them, or the blown sandbags and vegetation, and aimed at the assault troops in the impact with the weapons in their hands ：。
