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

Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu continued to use binoculars to observe the battle situation.

"Tuan Zuo, according to the current progress of the attack, we may have to fight until eight or nine in the evening."

Luo Youdu then said.

"Probably more."

Xu Rui is not so optimistic now, pointing to the devil's position on the main peak of Matou Ridge, and said: "There are five thousand devils on the main peak of Matou Ridge, and they are the most elite army of devils under the command of Seishiro Itano.".

"When the devil's position on the main peak of Matou Ridge was besieged at the end, the battle must have been fierce and tragic. This old devil, Banzon Seishiro, was extremely vicious and cunning. It is so easy to seize a group and other departments."

"The next battle will definitely be very difficult."

Seeing this, Luo Youdu said in a concentrated voice: "Then the rest of the devils under the command of Seishiro Itazon must be eliminated before dawn the next day. Otherwise, once the 4th Brigade and other troops under the command of the 36th Division under the command of Taro Akatsuka The devil reinforcements rushed to the city of Zhenting, and we were attacked by the enemy, so we can only withdraw our troops and return to the north as before."

Xu Rui nodded, and then said in a concentrated voice: "Send orders to the ministries and increase the attack power.".

"Let Wang Dazhu deploy the 40mm anti-aircraft gun anti-aircraft position, immediately concentrate the artillery fire, cover the friendly army and our regiment and wait for some soldiers, and take down the outer positions of the main peak of Matou Ridge as soon as possible."

"It would be best if the last three mountain positions around the main peak of Matou Ridge were captured before the first wave of devil's airdrop supply planes arrived over the main peak of Matou Ridge."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "Okay! I'll send someone to order the battalions."

"Um!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, Luo Youdu immediately turned around and walked down to the side, and sent people to order the battalions to increase their attack power, and ordered the artillery battalion commander Wang Dazhu to concentrate artillery fire on the mountain position defended by the last three devils outside the main peak of Matou Ridge.

One or two minutes later, Wang Dazhu, who received the order, immediately concentrated his artillery fire and bombed the last three mountain positions outside the main peak of Matouling.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The ear-piercing screams of shells reached the ears of the devil defenders on the last three mountain positions outside the main peak of Matou Ridge.

"Bagaya deer, shelling, dodging, hiding!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, bombardment, bombardment is coming."

"Ba Ga, quickly enter the air-raid shelter!"

The first-line grass-roots officers of the devil's garrison on the last three mountain positions outside the main peak of Matou Ridge cursed and cursed one after another.

However, the screaming sound of the shells came in an instant, and when they heard it, it was less than a second or two before the shells fell.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!"

Soon, shells fell densely.

Especially in the artillery unit captured from the 303th Division of the Devils by the Artillery Battalion of the 36rd Regiment, one of the shells fired by the twelve 105mm howitzers fell and directly blasted a large number of Devil soldiers .

Accompanied by the heavy shells falling, explosions followed one after another, blowing up the last three mountain positions guarded by the devil defenders outside the main peak of Matou Ridge into a sea of ​​flames.

Accompanied by the fragments of the shells flying at high speed, countless ghost soldiers' limbs and arms were flying around, and the screams came out along with the sound of the explosion.

"My legs, my legs."

"Ono-san, give me a hand, give me a hand."

"Squadron leader, squadron leader, help me, teach me."

"Ah, my hand was blown off, it was blown off."

"Mommy mommy!"

The devil's screams and cries for help intertwined one after another.

However, the artillery fire on the battlefield was so loud that the other devils who had not been bombed had no time to avoid the artillery fire. How could they brave the fierce artillery fire on the battlefield to rescue the devil soldiers who were blown away.

Taking advantage of the mountain position guarded by the last three devils outside the main peak of Matouling was suppressed by the concentrated artillery fire from the Artillery Battalion of the 303rd Regiment and the Xinyi Regiment, the Xinyi Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army who attacked Xu Rui's 303rd Regiment's First Battalion and other troops took advantage of the situation and stormed up.

Fighting mountain warfare, Xinyi Regiment and other departments are veterans with rich combat experience.

In particular, it is in the mountainous area of ​​northwestern Shanxi, and the new regiment, the 303 regiment and other units are familiar with the mountains and rivers.

With the help of fierce artillery fire cover, Xu Rui and others commanded their respective troops to attack violently.

Soon, within 10 to [-] minutes of the fierce battle, there was only one mountain position left to be defended by the devils in the mountain position outside the main peak of Matou Ridge.

And this scene was clearly seen by Itazon Seishiro, who was standing at the observation port of the highest bunker command post on the main peak of Matou Ridge, holding a telescope to observe the fierce battle.

It's just this scene, Seishiro Itazono looked gloomy.

He didn't expect that Xu Rui and the other enemy's rifles could be used so skillfully in mountain offensive and defensive battles.

"Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind, and Seishiro Itazono looked sideways, and it was Major Kazuo Tachibana.

"Report to Your Excellency, the head of our division sent someone to report urgently. There is only one outer position left. The enemy has already started attacking the defensive position I built on the mountainside of the main peak of Matouling from other directions, and asked for instructions."

Major Tachibana Kazuo urgently reported to Seishiro Itazono with a serious face.

"Order General Taro Takeshita to immediately lead the rest of the peripheral defenders to retreat to the main peak of Matou Ridge, hurry up."

At this time, seeing that it was impossible to hold the last mountain position among the outer positions of the main peak of Matou Ridge, Itazon Seishiro endured the humiliation and ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Seeing this, Major Tachibana Kazuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Takeshita Taro, who supervised the battle on the last mountain position outside the main peak of Matou Ridge, was the division commander of the 41st Division.

Of course, Takeshita Taro has now been removed from the post of division commander by Shinozuka Yoshinan.

However, Takeshita Taro was once the head of the 41st Division after all.

If he died now in the outer positions of the main peak of Matouling, he would really have to follow the path of Lieutenant General Nagata Taro, the head of the 36th Division.

Immediately after regaining his senses, Major Tachibana Kazuo hurried out of the bunker headquarters and sent someone to notify Takeshita Taro to lead the rest of the devil defenders to retreat to the devil defensive position on the main peak of Matou Ridge.

But at this time, the remnants of the Devil garrison outside the main peak of Matou Ridge supervised by Takeshita Taro, and the last outlying mountain position guarded by them, have been surrounded by Xu Rui and other troops.

Now, Takeshita Taro could not retreat into the devil's defensive position on the main peak of Matouling.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Several more shells landed nearby, killing a few unlucky devil soldiers, and the fragments of the shells from the explosion almost splashed on Takeshita Taro's body at high speed.

It is very possible that Takeshita Taro, the old devil, was killed by the fragments of the shell on the spot.

"Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough!!!"

Takeshita Taro patted the dirt on his head that was blown up by the shells, and coughed a few times, "Baga, the enemy is using a 105mm howitzer."

At this time, the leader of the devil team protecting Taro Takeshita said tragically: "Master, we are surrounded by groups, and the enemy has already hit the vicinity.".

"It's less than 30 meters away from us. We are about to be unable to hold the last mountain position outside the main peak of Matouling."

Takeshita Taro gritted his teeth and said, "How many troops do we have left, can we break through and retreat to the main peak of Matou Ridge?". (end of this chapter)
