LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 67
Bang, bang, bang!
…
Cangyun Ridge.
The war was raging.
Various shells bombarded the main position like thunder.
The fierce Sakata Regiment had surrounded this place long ago, and relied on its firepower advantage to launch round after round of strong attacks.
Da!
Da!
Da!
Hanyang-made and Zhongzheng rifles were intertwined, and homemade grenades exploded from time to time.
On the other hand, the firepower of the main position was obviously much weaker.
There were neither the enemy's powerful Type 92 infantry guns, nor a considerable number of mortars and grenade launchers, and even a few light and heavy machine guns. However, even so, the New 1st Regiment at this time relied on its well-planned fortifications, clever and orderly command and dispatch, and its tenacious fighting spirit to hold on to the main position that was almost flattened by half a meter!
"Kill the chickens!"
"Kill the chickens!"
"..."
At this time, the Japanese troops launched another assault.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The four Type 92s continued to bombard from a distance, and the six mortars provided strong fire support from the left and right positions.
Da da da.
Da da da.
The light and heavy machine guns rushed back, and a large number of Japanese elites rushed quickly.
"Zhu Zi!"
Li Yunlong, who was hiding behind the main position, was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Kill that heavy machine gun for me!"
Whoosh!
Compared with the other side's artillery shells.
The New 1st Regiment only had an old 60mm mortar, and at this time the shell carrying all the hope was controlled by Wang Chengzhu.
The shell drew an arc in the sky.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud noise.
The heavy machine gun position in the distance was quickly submerged in the artillery fire.
"Zhu Zi!"
Li Yunlong smiled and shouted excitedly: "Well done! After repelling these little devils this time, I will reward you with half a pound of sweet potato!"
"Thank you, commander!"
Wang Chengzhu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words.
Bang, bang, bang!
Suddenly, another series of shells came.
Li Yunlong was immediately covered in dust by the surrounding smoke and dust. He finally climbed out of the pit and said angrily: "These little devils dared to come up! Zhu Zi, are you blind! Hurry up and blow up those grenade launchers for me!"
"Yes, commander!"
Wang Chengzhu immediately accepted the order.
Whoosh!
Another shell came out of the position like a lonely warrior, giving the new regiment the most powerful firepower output.
Bang!
The grenade launcher in the distance was also blown away quickly.
But even so.
The situation on the entire battlefield remained unchanged, and the Japanese army even quietly advanced forward.
…
Not far away.
The Japanese command post.
"Report to the regiment commander!"
Staff officer Uratomo quickly reported: "The third infantry battalion has entered the attack position and can launch a strong attack at any time. Please give the order."
"No!"
Sakata Nobutsu waved his hand. He has always been calm and ruthless. Although he has an absolute advantage, he is not careless at this time. He just sneered and said: "The combat effectiveness of these Eighth Route Army is much stronger than those encountered before. One battalion is not enough. Order the fifth infantry battalion to cooperate with the third battalion to fight. This battle must be completely wiped out!"
"Hai!"
Staff officer Uratomo immediately took the order.
…
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The powerful artillery roared out again.
Various shells instantly poured down on the main position.
At the same time.
Two infantry battalions quickly advanced from the left and right sides, launching a new round of fierce attacks under the cover of artillery and machine guns.
"Captain!"
Zhang Dabiao saw this and shouted anxiously, "The devils are coming again! This time they are sending two battalions!"
"Zhu Zi!"
Li Yunlong was so angry that he shouted, "Hurry up and fire hard!"
"Captain!"
At this time, Wang Chengzhu did not fire as fast as usual, but said bitterly, "We only have two shells left."
"What did you say?!"
Li Yunlong was stunned and said angrily, "Damn, you loser! Why don't you use it sparingly?"
Wang Chengzhu immediately complained, "Captain! You have to speak with conscience. When the devils attacked just now, you were the one who shouted the most fiercely. Now you don't admit it! You think I wasted it!"
"You dare to complain!"
Li Yunlong glared at him fiercely and said, "Be careful, I will beat you up!"
Wang Chengzhu dared to be angry but didn't dare to say anything.
"Damn it!"
Li Yunlong looked at the numerous Japanese soldiers on the hillside again, and said through gritted teeth: "Sakata, that old bastard, must have seen through our firepower.Insufficient, otherwise it would be impossible to send two battalions at the same time! "
Under normal circumstances.
The attack and defense of a hilltop position like this is often based on elite troops breaking through.
If a large number of troops are sent up, it will easily cause the formation to be too dense, which will also greatly facilitate the killing of the defenders on the mountain.
But now?
The old devil Sakata did the opposite.
It must be said that the opponent is indeed sharp-sighted and the timing of using troops is also extremely clever.
"Captain!"
At this time, Zhang Dabiao shouted anxiously: "The devils are about to rush over!"
The faces of everyone present also changed drastically.
The battle has been going on from just now to now.
Although their new regiment's performance can be called heroic, they have paid a heavy price for it.
Now they are surrounded by layers, and the ammunition supply is about to run out!
How can this not make the remaining soldiers feel desperate?
"Humph! "
However, Li Yunlong was not afraid at all at this time. He shouted loudly: "Brothers! We all have two shoulders to carry one head. Our New 1st Regiment is not afraid of fear! Even if the King of Hell comes today, we have to pull off a few of his beards. I told you, when we meet on a narrow road-"
"The brave wins!"
The remaining soldiers of the regiment shouted in unison.
...
In the distance.
The defense area of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army.
Staff officer Fang Ligong quickly came to the high-rise building.
On the high-rise building, a middle-aged man was standing with a telescope looking at the fierce battle in the distance. This man was tall and handsome. He was none other than the colonel commander of the 358th Regiment-Chu Yunfei.
"Commander!"
Fang Ligong quickly reported: "This time the Eighth Route Army has encountered a tough guy! This is the Sakata Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese. "
"Sakata Regiment?"
Chu Yunfei's face changed slightly and sneered: "Huh! It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet!"
"Yes!"
Fang Ligong sighed and said: "Sakata is really not easy to deal with. Let's not talk about the distant ones. The last time we fought him in Luye, we lost nearly 300 brothers in just one hour. If we hadn't retreated in time, the 358th Regiment would have been eaten by him long ago!"
"The Eighth Route Army is in big trouble this time!"
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but sighed and said: "Their weapons and equipment are too poor, and their ammunition is obviously insufficient! It's probably dangerous to engage in a firefight with such a powerful opponent!"
"Yes!"
Fang Ligong nodded again and said in a deep voice: "This group of Eighth Route Army must be finished. Sakata has besieged them on the top of the mountain, and two infantry battalions are making the final charge!"
"We have to find a way to support them!"
Chu Yunfei picked up the telescope again and said slowly: "Even if it's just a little artillery support, it would be good. "
"Commander!"
Fang Ligong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we can't do anything about this. Commander Yan of the Second War Zone has repeatedly ordered that cooperation with the Eighth Route Army must be based on a written order from the War Zone Command. In addition, no soldiers can be mobilized. Those who violate the order will be severely punished!"
"Alas..."
Chu Yunfei sighed and said, "I know that."
"Commander!"
Fang Ligong also said with some regret, "It may be their bad luck to encounter the Sakata Regiment at this time! In my opinion, even if they support some artillery shells, they can only survive for a little longer. Their fate is already doomed!"
"Forget it!"
Chu Yunfei naturally knew that the other party was right. He waved his hand and said, "It's really not a good feeling to watch your friendly troops being wiped out by the devils! Send a message to the observation post in front to keep an eye on the movements of the devils!" Then he prepared to leave.
"Yes! Commander! "
Fang Ligong immediately took the order.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
...
But at this moment.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from a distance.
The huge explosions from dozens of artillery pieces instantly resounded throughout the Cangyun Ridge!
