Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 613
Of course, it was not unreasonable for Lei Xiong to be worried when he saw such a terrible shelling.

The Japanese bombardment both showed their determination and caused serious damage to the positions located in the mountains and on the top of the hill.

Compared with the destruction of the position, he was actually not worried about the safety of the soldiers on the high ground at this time. The soldiers should retreat into the tunnel behind the mountain through the traffic trench when the Japanese army bombarded them.

However, under such intense bombardment, the trenches on Height No. 3 must have been severely damaged, and the consequences would be worrisome.If the protection of the main position is lost, what will the soldiers who come out of the trenches on the rear side use to resist the Japanese attack?
As a veteran soldier, Lei Xiong can certainly see the key points of the anti-slope defensive battle, even if it is a battle example that he has never been exposed to in textbooks or actual combat.

The most important thing in anti-slope defense is the control of the ridge. If the ridge is lost, the soldiers hiding in the tunnel on the other side of the mountain will have a tragic end.

This is also the reason why Chinese soldiers and American cowboys competed for the ridge line all the time on the northern ice sheet, even if entire rows and companies of soldiers died in battle on the top of the soft mountain with almost no trenches that had been bombed by shells.

During the entire war, the number of soldiers on both sides who died in the battle for the ridge line was even much higher than the casualties caused by the bombing of millions of shells.

"Ask Wei Donglai if he needs our help. If not, we will take out an infantry platoon to reinforce the No. 3 highland." Lei Xiong said directly to Leng Feng beside him.

"Okay!" Leng Feng took the order and left.

After a while, he came back and reported to Lei Xiong in a low voice: "Position No. 3 replied that reinforcements are not needed for the time being, but they request that the Jing'an Army come up later, and the artillery company of our independent battalion will do our best to reinforce them!"

"Okay, then tell the artillery company according to their request. If they fire red flares, our artillery company will cover the 100 meters in front of his position!" Lei Xiong ordered without hesitation. "In addition, you go and organize a platoon for me, equipped with long and short guns and enough bullets, ready to support No. 3 Heights at any time."

"However, there are regular Japanese troops in front of our two highlands. The artillery company has gone to support them. What should we do?" Leng Feng gritted his teeth.

"Then let's fight one more time!" Lei Xiong looked into the distance with serious eyes. "Why, when did you Leng Dalian grow up so cowardly?"

"Officer Lei, then you underestimate me, Leng Feng!" Of course Leng Feng knew that Lei Xiong was acting aggressively, grinning. "Without guns, I can beat the little devil to the ground!"

"Hey! Then I'll just stay with you, Leng Feng, and see how many little devils you can kill today." Facing the statement of the number one fighter in the independent battalion, Lei Xiong nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't! Mr. Lei, you'd better go back to the command post! I'm on the No. 1 highland, maybe the little devil will launch an attack with tanks." Leng Feng was anxious when he heard the words, and pointed to the thick black smoke at the foot of the mountain in the middle of the mountain. The Japanese tank road on the ground.

The Kunizaki Detachment has a battalion of chariots, more than a dozen steel behemoths are almost invulnerable, and the only thing that can threaten it in the Chinese position is the 20mm cannon.

The Japanese knew it too, so they kept trying to find the machine guns and destroy them with infantry guns, and then it was time for the tanks to do whatever they wanted.

The tank may not be able to rush up to the No. 1 highland, which is higher in the mountain, but if it is allowed to go up the slope and shoot at the ground with the gun barrel up, it is equivalent to the Japanese army having a few more flexible forts, regardless of just 57mm tank guns. That threat is also much greater than the exposed 70 infantry artillery.

Whether it is the bunker fortification where the heavy machine gun is located, or the infantry bunker for individual soldiers, they are all under its threat.

"Get out, when I was a soldier, you Leng Feng didn't know where to make urine! I just stayed on your No. 1 highland these two days and didn't go anywhere." Lei Xiong stared.

"Then, what about the battalion commander?"

"Nonsense, it's not like you don't know about the battalion commander. His eyes glowed green when he saw a war. Now he might go to the woods to fuck the Japanese." Speaking of Tang Dao, Lei Xiong sighed in one breath.

He originally thought that he was a fighting maniac, but he didn't know until he met Tang Dao that he was really a fool.That guy doesn't look like a commander at all, he likes to go to the front line in person, his favorite thing is to fuck the Japanese himself with a gun.

The point is, he is awesome enough, the Japanese killed by himself is unmatched in the whole camp.

Having such a commander, I really don't know whether it is luck or misfortune!

Leng Feng also had a wry smile on his face.

This may be the only place they criticized Tang Dao.

It's cool to fight with Tang Dao, but whenever they see this pioneer, their subordinates who have been firmly bound to him are still worried. If he, the backbone, encounters an accident, this newly formed army will not be able to survive. What's the future?

Compared with the anxious attitude of several commanders in the Chinese position, the atmosphere in the Japanese headquarters is much more relaxed.

"Yoxi! Mr. Li is well prepared for firepower this time, and the gun positions are also well chosen. The small-caliber mortars of the Chinese are powerless to fight back!" There were bursts of gunpowder smoke, but most of the mortar shells fired from the Chinese position fell in the open mountain forest and did not pose a sufficient threat, so I couldn't help but feel very relieved.

"Then, can we order the infantry of the [-]st Brigade of the Jing'an Army to attack?" The Chief of Staff of the Lieutenant Assistant also suggested with joy in his eyes.

"No, the Jing'an Army is also the Imperial Army. We need to let them know that the blood of the imperial warriors cannot be shed in vain. Pass on my military order, and the artillery preparations will be extended for another 15 minutes! Then tell General Li Shoushan that if the position is captured, officers above the lieutenant level , each rewards 200 yen." Kunisaki waved his hand in a daze, with a smile on his face.

"There is a Chinese saying: If you want a horse to run, you have to make it eat more grass! Mr. Kawaguchi, do you understand?"

"Hey! I understand, the detachment leader, Your Excellency is wise!" The chief of staff of the lieutenant assistant nodded heavily.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

To put it bluntly, this is just a trick to win people's hearts.

As for how many people were killed or injured by the Jing'an Army, would they care?The results are obvious.

What they needed was for the Jing'an Army to conquer the Chinese position. Once that hill was conquered, the seemingly well-defended triangular defense position of the Chinese would be like dominoes, and it would only take time for the Chinese to completely collapse.

By that time, none of the Chinese who lost the protection of their positions could escape the pursuit of their tens of thousands of troops.

"With the encouragement of your Excellency, the detachment leader, the entire Jing'an Army will definitely fight hard. It is only a matter of time before the highlands are conquered. The Chinese did not expect that we would focus our attack on the highlands on its flanks. I believe that the carefully arranged blocking positions The commander is helpless right now!" the Chief of Staff of the Lieutenant Assistant said relaxedly.

"No, no, not only to make him helpless, but also to make him desperate, then order Li Shoushan, he must end the battle in two hours, and tell him at the same time, I don't want a living Chinese, I want the Chinese All the dead bodies were hung on the side of the road where my detachment marched towards Jinling." Kunizaki said fiercely, his eyes full of ferocity. "Kawaguchi-kun, tell me, does that look like a wind chime that plays the song of victory?"

"That will be the most beautiful wind chime I have ever seen!" The chief of staff of the lieutenant officer also smiled brightly.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of Chinese soldiers on the other two highlands, the almost frenzied hour-long shelling by the Japanese invaders stopped.

The entire highland was shrouded in thick gunpowder smoke, and the mountain wind lingered.

The soldiers in the tunnel had to cover their mouths and noses with towels dipped in clean water, otherwise the strong gunpowder smoke would make it difficult for them to breathe smoothly.

What followed was the Jing'an Army, which consisted of nearly 500 soldiers from three infantry companies, began to attack from the foot of the mountain along the hillside.

That is already the limit that the width of the mountain can accommodate.

What is even more frightening is that behind them, there are actually four 94-type small bean tanks following them, spraying thick black smoke.

Both the owner and the dog put in all their strength.
