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

Chapter 357 A shocking explosion, two squadrons of devils took a dirt plane!
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Intensive shells hit the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion were located, exploding clouds of dazzling smoke and sparks.

It has to be said that Takeshita Taro brought the artillery of the artillery wing of his division, especially the large-caliber 105mm howitzer, with the army, and violently bombarded the two mountains. The scale looked really spectacular.

However, the soldiers from the two battalions of the Xinyi Regiment and the two battalions of the 303rd Regiment, who were familiar with the devil's attack routines, had already entered the artillery hole before the devil's shelling.

On the battlefield, there were only a few people left to watch over the devils down the mountain.

Therefore, after the shelling began, there were almost no casualties among the defenders on the hill where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion were located.

However, the devil's shelling was indeed very violent.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Accompanied by piercing screams, under the scorching sun in the afternoon, countless shells fired by the devils roared and smashed towards the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion were located.

The defenders' position was already covered with smoke and dust from the explosion. The explosion caused the trees on the mountain to be blown off, which quickly caused a fire.

Fortunately, the defensive positions deliberately avoided the preparations for the trees on the mountain to be bombed and burned after being bombarded by the devils.

At this time, behind the mountain where the Wangyou Pavilion is located, in Xu Rui's temporary field headquarters.

Xu Rui's temporary field headquarters is in a natural cave behind Wangyouting, a small pavilion mountain.

The devil's shells can't reach the natural cave on the back of the mountain.

However, the huge vibration generated by the explosion of the shell still shook the loose pebbles on the top of the cave.

Fortunately, it didn't affect Xu Rui and others much.

"Tuan Zuo, the devil brought all the 105mm howitzers with Junnan."

Listening to the rumbling explosions outside the cave, Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer of the 303 regiment and the military confidential staff officer standing beside Xu Rui, said secretly.

"There are twelve 05mm howitzers and 36 75mm mountain guns."

Xu Rui listened carefully, and then said with solemn eyes: "Taro Takeshita, the old devil, is not afraid of the devils left behind in Mingjia Town. There are only 24 70mm Type 303 infantry guns left, which can't stop my [-] regiment from staying in Nanliujiang." Fire from the howitzer battery on the north bank?".

"But the devil has already done so, Tuanzao."

Gu Jiaping said in a concentrated voice: "Taro Takeshita, an old devil, personally directed [-] devils to go south to fight back. It seems that he paid a lot of money.".

"It's a pity, if you want to break our block, it's a good idea."

Xu Rui sneered and said to Gu Jiaping: "Let the brothers prepare, the devil's shelling cannot last for a long time.".

"Be prepared to defend and counterattack at any time."

Gu Jiaping nodded and said, "Understood, group seat."

"Um!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then continued to listen to the pleasant explosion sound from the devil's shelling.

And Li Yunlong, the head of the new regiment on the mountain where Xiangji Temple is located, also avoided the shelling of devils in a natural cave on the back of the mountain behind the small temple of Xiangji Temple, which is the same as Xu Rui's use of the natural cave as his headquarters. choose.

At this time, Li Yunlong was also cursing in his headquarters.

"Damn it, the little devil's bombardment is really fierce, you don't need money!"

Hearing the deafening explosion, Li Yunlong couldn't help being secretly surprised and said "envy, jealous and hate".

"Regimental Commander, even if the bombardment of the little devil is very violent, we still need to let the infantry come up to attack the mountain. We occupy a favorable terrain, and we are condescending to defend the mountain. Our mountainous area and the mountainous area defended by Commander Xu on the opposite side."

Standing beside Li Yunlong, Shen Quan, the second battalion commander of the new regiment, smiled and said.

"That's what your kid said."

Li Yunlong thought about it, and this is true.

What's more, after the previous fight with the Devil's 36th Division and other departments, the spoils shared by the Xinyi Regiment and the 303 Regiment from that battle have been replaced by all members of the Xinyi Regiment.

Especially, Xu Rui had given them at least one battalion of automatic rifles before.

So now, with the firepower of the new regiment, Li Yunlong is full of confidence in defending the mountains and blocking the onslaught of a division's devils.

What's more, before the war, Li Yunlong and Xu Rui led their own troops to bury the devil's arsenal from Zhenting City under the road at least 300 meters north of the mountain and the [-] meters of ground extending from east to west on both sides. Some of the shells seized here were converted into many mines.

Hey, the little devil will suffer next.

"Tell the brothers, the devil's shelling should end soon, and be ready to enter the trench defense at any time."

Li Yunlong then gave orders to Shen Quan, commander of the second battalion, and Wang Huaibao, commander of the third battalion.

"Yes, Captain."

Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao nodded and said in unison.

Li Yunlong nodded, and then continued to listen to the little devil's shelling.

As for the devil's shelling, according to Takeshita Taro's order, the devil's artillery regiment commander commanded the artillery of the devil's artillery, and operated the artillery to blow up the defenders' positions on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion were located for a full 10 minutes.

Then, 10 minutes later, the shelling continued, but the firepower suppressed the highest point on the mountain.

Seeing that the shelling time had passed, Taro Takeshita, who held a telescope to observe the shelling, was very satisfied.

Looking up at the scorching sun, Taro Takeshita waved his hand and shouted to the messenger, "Order Major General Yusuke Yagi, the commander of the 16th brigade, to start commanding the troops to attack the mountain."

"Yes, division commander!"

The devil's messenger rushed away in response.

Soon, the head of the 16th Brigade, Major General Yagi Yusuke, who received the order to attack, was on the starting position of the attack, and after looking at the shelling situation with a telescope, his eyes were solemn.

Yagi Yusuke obviously saw through the binoculars that on the mountain where Wangyou Pavilion and Xiangji Temple are located, the trenches dug by the defenders were scattered by the bombed soil, and many trenches were buried in the bombed soil.

However, the screams of the enemy being bombed, and the scenes of stumped limbs and arms flying horizontally, did not appear.

It is conceivable that the enemy must already have anti-gun bunkers.

"It's no wonder that the 36th Division of the Golden Land that was able to fight before was completely annihilated. These enemy troops are really difficult to deal with."

Yusuke Yagi muttered to himself, with a serious expression on his face.

With such a strong defensive enemy army, and the fact that the mountain where the Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located is so steep, the attack on the mountain might not have a good result.

"Order the 17st Infantry Battalion of the [-]th Infantry Regiment belonging to our brigade to send out two infantry squadrons to try to attack the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located. Army position, cover our infantry attacking the mountain."

Yagi Yusuke immediately sent an order.

"Yes, brigade commander!"

The ghost messenger standing beside Yagi Yusuke said heavily, then turned and left.

Soon, as the devil's large-scale artillery fire extended to suppress the two defensive positions at the highest point of the mountain, the devil's two infantry brigades, under the order of Yusuke Yagi, quickly carried Type [-] rifles and Type [-] heavy machine guns. Under the cover of the defenders' position on the mountain, they shot towards the defenders' position on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion were located.

"Tao times chirp, tao times chirp!!"

The ghost squadron leaders of the two infantry squadrons drew out their samurai swords and commanded the attack with a murderous look.

A total of more than 500 devils, under the command of their respective squadron leaders, leaned over and quickly attacked the defending positions on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion were located.

However, the defensive positions on the two mountains were quiet, and when the devils killed a full 50 meters down the mountain, they still didn't fire.

"Yo Xi, could it be that all the enemy troops on the mountain were killed by the powerful artillery fire of the imperial army?"

One of the ghost infantry squadron leaders muttered, just feeling very uneasy in his heart.

At this moment, a deafening explosion exploded within a range of about 200 meters from the bottom of the two mountains. More than 500 devils from the two squadrons that had stepped into this range were directly blown into the sky by the sudden shocking explosion. I took a dirt plane.
