Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 60 Rescue Longya Ridge

Shiting stronghold is a stronghold built by the Japanese army in order to block the scope of activities of the Eighth Route Army.

Consists of 3 bunkers.

There is a small squad of devils stationed inside, plus a platoon of puppet troops.

The little devil has built a lot of strongholds like this.

This kind of stronghold is not lucrative, and because of the existence of the bunker, it is difficult to take it down without artillery.

Even if it can be defeated in the end, it will definitely pay a great price in casualties.

Even before the battle was over, the Japanese and puppet troops from other strongholds came to reinforce them.

It is precisely for this reason that Wang Chengzhu has never chosen to attack these strongholds of the little devil.

Of course, Sun Desheng also knew that the devil's bunker was difficult to capture, so it was a lie that he attacked the Shiting stronghold. In fact, he was planning to surround the point for reinforcements, and ambushed the Japanese and puppet troops who came for reinforcements on the way.

In the end, his goal was achieved, but it was a pity that the Japanese army who came for reinforcements had a reinforced squadron, and in addition, there was a company of puppet troops.

So much so that he was finally forced to go to Longya Ridge.

But what Sun Desheng didn't know was that the reason why the little devils would increase their troops nearby was because Wang Chengzhu attacked everywhere, constantly attacking their important strongholds.

As a last resort, the Japanese army stepped up their defenses.

In the end, Wang Chengzhu was not waiting, but Sun Desheng was waiting...

Wang Shugen made a detailed report on the situation to Wang Chengzhu, and then asked: "Platoon leader, what should we do now?"

Wang Chengzhu: "Of course we have to save Company Commander Sun!"

Said, Wang Chengzhu looked at the guard Wei Dayong at the side again: "Monk, immediately send me an order to order the 1st squad, 2nd squad, cavalry squad, artillery squad, and the Spike Special Forces to gather immediately!"

"Yes!"

Monk Wei took the order abruptly, then turned around and trotted away from the headquarters.

……

The team assembled quickly.

After Wang Chengzhu made a brief mobilization, he led the Spike Special Forces and the Cavalry Squad to Longya Ridge first, followed by the rest of the main force.

Wangjia Village is about 25 kilometers away from Longya Ridge. It takes about an hour for the cavalry to march at full speed, and a little more than two hours for the infantry.

Fearing that Sun Desheng would not be able to hold on, Wang Chengzhu kept urging the troops to march faster along the way.

Because there are soldiers from the reconnaissance team scouting the road ahead, they are not worried about being ambushed by devils.

Longya Ridge is an isolated mountain. After several hours of fierce fighting, only a dozen or so soldiers were left alive around Sun Desheng.

Right now, the devils under the mountain are launching their final attack under the cover of machine gun fire.

Speaking of it, the gang of puppet soldiers did not work hard. Every time the devils ordered them to attack, they immediately retreated as soon as the gunshots rang out on the mountain, which delayed a lot of time.

Otherwise, Longya Ridge would have been captured long ago.

This time, the Japanese army also carried a lot of grenades and mortars. Under the bombardment of the devils, the top of Longya Ridge was blown into scorched earth.

A soldier with a dirty face climbed up to Sun Desheng and asked for instructions: "Company commander, the devils have launched an attack again."

Sun Desheng said blankly: "What are you afraid of? It's not like it hasn't been initiated before."

The soldier said, "But we don't have many bullets in our hands."

Sun Desheng: "Then use the bayonet, even if you die, you must kill a few more little devils!"

As soon as the words fell, a piece of machine gun bullets protruded and swept towards Sun Desheng, splashing a piece of mud, but Sun Desheng turned a blind eye and didn't even blink his eyes.

"Brothers, it's time to be loyal to the country and filial piety to the nation! In today's battle, the head can be cut off, the blood can be shed, and the ambition must not be lost!"

"Everyone listen to my order, wait for the devils to get closer before hitting, and fight for a bullet to kill a devil!"

"When the bullets run out, put on the bayonet!"

Sun Desheng is making the final battle deployment.

"Attack, attack! Kill the chicken!"

Down the hillside, following the order of the Devil Captain, hundreds of Devil infantry and puppet soldiers with live ammunition immediately accelerated in vain in a skirmish formation, and swarmed towards Longya Ridge all over the mountains and plains.

Sun Desheng waited quietly behind a rock, because there were not many bullets left in his hand, so although the devil soldiers rushing in front of him were already within range, he did not give the order to fire.

The soldiers of the remaining 3rd company counted the bullets in their hands while loading the bayonet on the gun head, ready for a decisive battle.

In order to reduce casualties.

The Devil's Type 97 light mortars, 60mm mortars, and heavy machine guns were fully fired, providing fire cover for their attacking troops.

On the top of the mountain, there was a continuous rain of heavy machine gun bullets, the smoke and dust from the blows filled the air, and sand, gravel and mud splashed everywhere.

"Qi..."

A 60mm caliber grenade landed not far from Sun Desheng and exploded violently. The red light flickered for a moment, and a large cloud of sand and mud swished and flew around.

Among them, a piece of shrapnel even scraped across Sun Desheng's cheek, leaving a light bloodstain, but he didn't even blink his eyes, as if the shrapnel didn't scratch his cheek, and kept his eyes fixed on the mountains and plains below the mountain. The swarming enemy army.

80 meters...

60 meters...

50 meters...

It wasn't until the devils rushing ahead were less than 30 meters away from the top of the mountain that Sun Desheng issued a combat order: "Brothers, fire! Hit me hard!"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Desheng was the first to fire, only to hear a "pop" gunshot, and a devil soldier was shot in the chest, screamed, and rolled down the mountain on his back.

Following Sun Desheng's order, more than a dozen Eighth Route Army soldiers around him all opened fire.

The terrain of Longya Ridge is dangerous, with cliffs on three sides, and only the east side is a gentle slope.

At this time, the goal of the Japanese army is to break in from here.

The firepower of all Eighth Route Army soldiers also poured from this direction.

"Crack, clap clap..."

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the devil infantry who rushed to the front were immediately devastated, shot one after another, and rolled down to the foot of the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, several Eighth Route Army soldiers picked up the grenade, pulled the fuse, swung their arms violently, and threw it down.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Several explosions immediately caused the remaining devils to scream and fall to the ground.

"Oh my God!"

Seeing that the devils rushing in front of them were either shot or blown out, the puppet soldiers screamed and looked for cover to escape.

"Shoot! Shoot! Kill the chicken!"

On the mountainside, a devil second lieutenant who was in charge of supervising the battle waved his saber hoarsely and roared.

Hundreds of devil soldiers fired back and charged forward bravely.

As for the puppet army, they lowered their heads, closed their eyes and fired into the sky.

Even so, the devils still had an absolute advantage in firepower, and the firepower was naturally denser than that of the defenders.

A large number of scorching bullets whizzed towards the east side of the gentle slope, splashing streaks of smoke and dust immediately.

Beside Sun Desheng, two riflemen were unfortunately hit by flying bullets, and fell in a pool of blood one after another.

Sun Desheng was so dumbfounded that he moved quickly to the side where there were piles of stones, lifted a stone the size of a millstone, and threw it down the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Eighth Route Army soldiers also threw down the stones they had prepared in advance.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom-"

Ten pieces of Mopanshan rocks suddenly rolled down towards the foot of the mountain like thunder, and smoke and dust splashed up wherever they passed...
