The officers and men of the assault unit were struggling to assault upwards along the heights, and the blows they suffered were also all the firepower of the Japanese troops on the entire Luotang Heights, rifles, grenadiers, 11-year-old light machine guns and 92-type heavy machine guns in the saddle, which exceeded the number of establishments, and frantically tilted their firepower towards the officers and men of the assault troops.
The upward assault of the troops became more and more difficult, and the infantry of the 1st and 3rd squadrons in the charge also fired at the Japanese troops with Zhongzheng rifles from time to time.
Of course, compared with the several attacks of the 598th Regiment of the 200th Division on the Luotang Heights, the casualties and suffering of the assault troops were simply not worth mentioning.
At this stage, the assault troops can only be beaten passively, silently bearing casualties, and Zhang Wei's deployment and distribution of the assault troops themselves is still in progress, during this period of time, the assault troops can only fight with flesh and blood, He Jinhai's engineer platoon and the 37th battle anti-artillery squad have been far away from the infantry of the assault force at this time, and they are rushing towards the saddle of the Luotang Heights, where the Japanese heavy machine guns and light machine guns are cross-fire the 1st and 3rd squadron infantry in the charge.
Zhang Wei hoped that the flat-firing anti-aircraft guns would solve the annoying machine-gun fire network deployed in the saddle.
"Fire, fire to the right, grenadiers bombard the center of the enemy infantry" In the Japanese trench in front of the Luotang Heights, the Japanese troops of an infantry detachment were relying on the reinforced fortifications of the logs to resist the attack of the assault troops, and the commander of the detachment commanded the rifle on the body of a soldier who had died in the shelling, and the corpse already had a lot of 65 rifle shells on the body.
The detachment leader quickly loaded the bullet, pulled the trigger of the 38 rifle, and ordered the soldiers around him that every Japanese soldier in the trench could see the Chinese soldiers fearlessly charging dozens of meters ahead.
This was the closest attack of the Chinese infantry to them in a few days of attack, and it was also the least number of attackers, the least dense formation, every Japanese soldier was 100 percent energetic, and in the eyes of individual Japanese soldiers, a trace of fear could occasionally be seen, the fierce artillery bombardment, and the infantry attacks that were different from the past, as well as the desperate temperament of the infantry of the Chinese army, which was enough to make some soldiers in the Japanese army who were not very experienced in combat feel afraid.
The firepower of this infantry detachment is also very strong, equipped with two 11-year-old light machine guns and a 50-mm heavy grenadier of the 89th type, with airdropped supplies, the fourth squadron guarding Kunlun Pass, each infantry detachment has light machine gun equipment, instead of being divided into grenadier detachment and light machine gun detachment as usual.
"Dadada" Two 11-year-old light machine guns, with the accurate platoon of guns fired at the assault troops rushing on the high ground, and the two groups of shooters fired in bursts, and the 89-type heavy grenade canisters in the detachment also hurriedly fired 50 mm caliber grenades, and the grenades chased the light machine gun bullets and drilled into the officers and men of the assault troops who rushed over, and after the explosion and the rain of bullets, another group of officers and men of the assault troops were killed and died.
Not only the front, but also the Japanese light and heavy machine guns on the flanks and the Japanese light and heavy machine guns in the saddle were also very fierce, and the Japanese fire from the two directions was superimposed on the officers and men of the assault force.
But this did not defeat the officers and men of the assault force who attacked, they still shouted and killed, bearing increasing casualties, in the midst of blood and fire, attacking forward, without any signs of collapse, the ability to bear casualties is also a measure of the elite of the troops, the officers and men of the 13rd Squadron, fearlessly stepped over the corpses of their comrades, and also greatly shocked the garrison Japanese troops.
Let you shoot and bombard, and the assault force will not collapse and stubbornly attack forward.
"Boom" Rushing to this juncture, and then going up to the hard top, it is really a casualty increase, Zhang Wei smelled the bloody breath, and stepped over the corpses and stumps of the dead brothers lying on the ground.
He raised his head and could even see the Japanese army faintly maneuvering in the trenches, the infantry simply attacked here, it was already the limit, and the distance between the Japanese frontal trenches and the light and dark forts was about less than fifty meters, the simple infantry impact, this was basically the limit, and on the flanks, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns in the saddle were still fighting, and the Japanese engineer platoon and the 37th battle anti-artillery squad in the saddle had not yet opened fire to attack, and at this time, there would be no good results.
The casualties that should be paid and worth paying have already been paid, and now it is time to lie down honestly, no longer pay extra appointments, and wait for all the anti-aircraft artillery and support firearms to fire, and then attack steadily and steadily.
Zhang Wei ordered the troops to stop the attack, the officers and men of the 13rd Squadron dispersed, lying on the high ground, the infantry no longer attacked, but fired at the Japanese army, the mortars and heavy machine guns placed on the rear side of the assault force, began to rush forward, now it was time to cover the firepower, to use the cover of mortars and heavy machine guns to shield the infantry from attacking.
According to his assumption, the engineer platoon and the battle defense artillery squad were a small detachment, attacking the Japanese light and heavy machine gun fire network in the saddle, and the saddle side was a dozen, and the mortar heavy machine guns on the front of the attack covered the fire, and both sides were so dozen at the same time, this is the time for the infantry to continue to attack, and now, there is really no need to consume.
Dong Erli saw that the infantry in front of him stopped the attack, and immediately asked the mortar platoon to prepare for shooting, and the gunners began to remove their backs, put the barrel, gun mount, bottom plate, shells, and sights of the 82 mortar on the equipment, quickly assembled the artillery on the high ground, measured the distance, four 20-year-old 82 mortars, and the four artillery squads were closely preparing for shooting.
As for the heavy machine gun platoon equipped with three ZB37 heavy machine guns, it had already surpassed the mortar platoon and reached the first line, and the assembly of the air-cooled heavy machine gun was much easier than that of the 82 mortar.
The officers and men of the 13th Squadron also used the weapons in their hands, together with the heavy machine guns, to shoot at the Japanese front 50 meters away, Zhongzheng rifles, Czech, Type 27 grenades and Type 28 grenades, as well as ZB37 heavy machine guns, the fierce detachment fire of the assault troops began to be revealed, and the Japanese troops on the high ground returned fire.
In the Japanese trenches, the casualties of the Japanese troops in the trenches also began to increase due to the cessation of the assault force and the suppression of the fire by strong firepower.
Half a minute after the heavy machine gun joined the firing "Open," Dong Erli roared.
"Boom Boom Boom" The four 82 mortars that were urgently erected fired the first round of 82 mortar shells at the Japanese high ground more than 50 meters away ：。
