Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 232 The main peak spring of Dugu Ridge was bombed, and the water source is in crisis!

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Intensive shells are being hit non-stop on the main peak of Dugu Ridge and the dozens of hills around it.

The flames of the explosion illuminated the entire Dugu Ridge.

Facing the bombardment by Xu Rui and others, Nagata Taro could only order all the devils to pay attention to concealment.

Most of the qualified devils hid on the slanted back of the hill to defend against artillery.

It's just that the Devils Artillery Wing captured by Xu Rui on Dingjun Mountain had enough shells to fight for an hour.

Therefore, facing the enemy's shelling, Nagata Taro is also depressed now.

The artillery shells that were supposed to deal with Xu Rui's artillery regiment fell on our own side, so I couldn't be more depressed.

"Susu Susu, Susu Susu!!!"

On the main peak of Dugu Ridge, the 36th Division is in the bunker headquarters on the mountain.

Overhead, the dust, soil, and gravel on the bunker that had been blasted and shaken by the shells kept falling.

All of a sudden, Taro Nagata, Chief of Staff Taketo Kenzaburo, and several devil staff officers in the headquarters were covered with layers of fallen plaster on their heads.

"Pat Pat pat pat pat pat!"

Taketo Kenzaburo patted the plaster that fell from his head and body, and then said to Nagata Taro: "Division Commander, the enemy's artillery fire is very fierce.".

"They were all fired from the artillery of our division's artillery regiment, and there is a high probability that those artillery shells were the imperial artillery shells captured on Dingjun Mountain. Damn it! These are all our artillery shells, and now they fall on the On us."

Nagata Taro cursed and patted the plaster that fell from his head and body, and then said.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

At this time, the top of the bunker command post exploded again. The huge explosive force made the top of the bunker command post crumbling and loose, as if it would collapse in the next second.

Fortunately, the bunker headquarters that Nagata Taro found on the main peak of Duguling is actually a natural cave facing the foot of the main peak.

The entrance of the cave faces down the mountain, so it is unlikely to be collapsed by the shells.

However, there is no problem with the huge vibration caused by the explosion shaking the marl and sandstones above the bunker headquarters.

"Hey, division commander, it seems that the shelling has extended to the mountain."

At this moment, a devil staff officer of the 36th Division pointed to the foot of Dongkou Mountain, and then said.

"It really is!"

Hearing this, Nagata Taro immediately walked to the entrance of the cave, and then looked down the mountain under the night.

I saw that there was no artillery covering and bombarding the foot of the main peak of Dugu Ridge, but the enemy's artillery began to spread along the mountain.

"The enemy is starting to attack with infantry."

Nagata Taro is worthy of being a devil with rich experience in the battlefield. He immediately realized something and immediately ordered: "Order all the ministries to enter the position. When the enemy army approaches the position on the mountain, open fire on me.".

"Once the two sides are close to fighting, the enemy's artillery will not be able to fire unscrupulously."

Taketo Kensaburo nodded with serious eyes, and said, "Understood, division commander."

Immediately, Taketo Kensaburo immediately sent someone to pass down the order.

Soon, the devils, who had already been prepared, poked their heads out of the hiding positions and looked down the mountain.

At this time, after the bombardment was extended, Xu Rui, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong, according to the agreement, started to attack simultaneously after the signal flare hit the early morning night sky.

Due to the attack on the mountain at night, the line of sight and visibility are poor.

Therefore, the three troops sent out small groups of troops to attack tentatively at the same time.

Once frustrated, immediately call the follow-up troops and the artillery group under the mountain to suppress artillery fire.

"Up, up!"

"Machine gunner, machine gunner, pay attention to cover fire!"

"The grenadier, use the captured devil grenadier, close-range shelling cover!"

"Brothers, come on! Put your head down, don't stand upright!"

As the 303 regiment and other units began to attack the infantry up the mountain, the attacking infantry under the night began to talk.

In the early morning and night, under the cover of artillery fire, it was extended and suppressed.

Xu Rui, Chu Yunfei, and Li Yunlong attacked the first wave of infantry, and each sent a battalion first, with a total force of about 500 troops to attack the dozens of hills around the main peak of Dugu Mountain.

At this time, only about 36 people remained in the remnant of the 6000th Division of the Devils.

Among them, more than [-] people are on the main peak of Dugu Ridge, and the remaining [-] people are divided into troops and guarded on a dozen small hills around the main peak of Dugu Ridge.

And more than a dozen small hills were guarded separately, and the devil guards on each small hill were about two to 300 troops.

Therefore, in the face of the first wave of attacks from Xu Rui and others under the cover of artillery fire, the devil defenders on the dozens of small hills around the main peak of Dugu Ridge also had weaknesses that could be defeated one by one.

Sure enough, according to the plan, Xu Rui and others divided their troops to besiege.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the hills competed one after another.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

"Da da da, da da da!"

"Thumbs up!!!"

Shelling, light and heavy machine gun fire cover, the first wave totaled about 500 people, and the three battalions were attacked by all parties.

Even if the devil defenders on the dozens of small hills around the main peak of Dugu Ridge approached after Xu Rui and others attacked, they would not be able to withstand the infantry attack under such a huge advantage of artillery fire.

In less than ten minutes, the small hills defended by the devils were successively captured by the troops of the 303rd regiment, the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army, and a battalion each of the Xinyi regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

The fierce fighting lasted until [-]:[-] in the morning, and the devils on a dozen small hills around the main peak of Dugu Mountain had been eliminated one after another, and most of them were wiped out.

Only a small number of devils fled to the main peak of Dugu Ridge, and there were about [-] remnant soldiers under the control of Hui and Nagata Taro, defending the position on the main peak of Dugu Ridge.

In more than an hour, more than a dozen small hills around the main peak of Dugu Mountain were captured by Xu Rui and others' troops.

Nagata Taro, in the headquarters of the natural cave bunker on the main peak of Dugu Ridge, looked down the mountain through the cave entrance, and saw densely packed enemy troops surrounding the main peak of Dugu Ridge.

The enemy's artillery fire continued to bombard the main peak of Dugu Ridge.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

The dense shells hit the main peak of Dugu Ridge continuously in an instant.

At this time, among the shelling artillery, there were already twelve 36mm howitzers transferred from Jinghai County and seized from the Artillery Regiment of the 105th Division.

Nagata Taro knew the moment the howitzer hit the main peak of Dugu Ridge and exploded.

"Damn it! It's a 105mm howitzer!"

Nagata Taro heard the explosion of shells fired by the 105mm howitzer, and said through gritted teeth, "That's our howitzer, damn it."

"Regiment commander, don't worry, the terrain on the main peak of Dugu Ridge is steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack."

The chief of staff of the division, Taketo Kensaburo, immediately said aside: "Even if the enemy mobilized the 105mm howitzer, they could not use the huge artillery power of the howitzer to suppress our condescending counterattack.".

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

At this moment, suddenly there was a huge explosion sound from behind the bunker headquarters.

Not long after, a devil soldier ran into the cave where Nagata Taro and the others were in panic, and said anxiously: "Report to the commander, the spring on the main peak of Dugu Ridge was hit by enemy artillery fire, and the rocks collapsed and blocked the spring." .

"We have no water to drink next!"

Hearing this, the expressions of Nagata Taro, Taketo Kenzaburo and other members of the devil headquarters changed drastically.

Especially Nagata Taro knows that there is only one spring on the main peak of Dugu Ridge, and that is the only water source and outlet on the main peak of Dugu Ridge.

And once the spring on the main peak mountain is blocked by bombing, it will be impossible to clear the spring.

Now, there are more than 2000 elite imperial troops on the main peak of Dugu Ridge, and among the 36th division, the elite infantry of the division directly under Nagata Taro has a strong combat effectiveness.

Relying on the terrain on the main peak of Dugu Ridge, it is no problem to defend against the enemy's siege and persist until the 2nd Brigade comes here from Zhenting City for reinforcements.

Now, the only spring on the main peak of Dugu Ridge has been bombed, and the water source is in crisis. If the enemy army implements the strategy of encircling and trapping them to death, wouldn't they be thirsty to death?
