Chapter 219: The Japanese Army Splits into Three Groups
The Japanese tank commander quickly got into the car and put on a gas mask.
The driver and machine gunner on the car also quickly put on gas masks.
But the smell of pepper had already rushed into the tank.
Even though they wore gas masks, their burning eyes were filled with tears, and they were still sneezing non-stop due to the choking.
Tears welled up in their eyes, severely affecting their vision, making it impossible for them to aim and shoot.
At this moment, General Yuan suddenly gave the order to open fire.
The soldiers in the cat ear cave quickly pushed open the wooden boards, rushed out, raised their guns and opened fire.
The soldiers in the air-raid shelter also opened fire, and some soldiers used grenade launchers to bomb.
The light and heavy machine guns in the bunker kept roaring out bullets.
Infantry artillery has also begun bombarding the Japanese tanks.
The tank driver has stopped and is on a prohibited target.
It can be hit by infantry artillery in a flat attack.
In the blink of an eye, four tanks were destroyed by infantry artillery.
Looking at the destroyed tanks, the crazy artillery explosions, and the bullet shooting.
The Japanese soldiers in the tank were so scared that they didn't know what to do.
"Bakayaloo, retreat, retreat!"
The Japanese tank commander roared at the top of his lungs while using his infantry gun to bombard the mountain.
Unfortunately, his eyes were filled with tears and he couldn't aim at all. He could only hope to use the bombardment of the tank gun to suppress the firepower so that the tank could retreat.
But when the tank was reversing, the Japanese tank commander had to climb out of the tank and guide the driver to reverse and turn.
After the Japanese tank commander fired a shell, why did he pop his head out to direct the tank driver to reverse and evacuate?
And just when these drivers popped their heads out.
The machine gunner who was already staring at the tank kept shooting at the Japanese tank.
Grenade launchers also focused their bombardment on the tanks.
Many tank commanders were either killed by bullets or by shrapnel.
The tank driver lost the guidance of the commander, and the infantry artillery was still bombarding the tank.
Two tanks were destroyed by infantry guns in succession, and the remaining tank drivers and machine gunners were so scared that they quickly climbed out of the tanks and fled.
"Bagayalu, Bagayalu!"
The Japanese captain behind him gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
"Why are there still so many Kuomintang troops here! Tell the infantry artillery to continue bombing, and tell the field artillery brigade to continue bombing!"
The Japanese infantry artillery and field artillery teams received the order and immediately continued to bombard the positions.
Hearing the sound of flying shells, everyone quickly moved to the air-raid shelters and cat-ear caves.
Soon, the entire position was covered by artillery fire again.
"Damn it, how come the Japs still have so many shells!"
"Nonsense! They are a field artillery battalion with 12 guns. They must have enough shells!"
"How long will this explosion last? Can the air-raid shelter withstand it?"
"We can definitely hold on! Take some time to rest, and when the enemy comes charging up, we'll continue to fight them!"
Yuan Shuai stood at the lookout, looking at the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
However, after the Japanese had just been beaten badly, they were also afraid.
For a moment, the charging Japanese soldiers quickly retreated.
Even the tank troops were retreating.
Although everyone in the trenches had already taken shelter.
But the light and heavy machine guns and infantry guns in the bunker were still firing.
Especially those light and heavy machine guns, almost all of them were firing at the tank soldiers.
After all, a tank soldier's hat is different from an ordinary infantry soldier's hat.
Yuan Shuai’s goal is to kill these tank soldiers first to prevent them from turning back and continuing to attack with tanks.
Sure enough, the Japanese tank soldiers could not withstand the fire from so many light and heavy machine guns.
Almost all the tank soldiers were either killed by infantry artillery shells or by bullets from light and heavy machine guns.
By the time the Japanese troops reached the captain, all the tank soldiers were wiped out.
Hundreds of infantrymen were also killed or wounded.
Only more than 700 people returned from the infantry battalion of more than 1,000 people.
The remaining 300-odd people all stayed at the foot of the mountain where the position was located.
Although some of the Japanese soldiers were not dead yet, they were already injured and lying on the ground, wailing in pain and calling for medical soldiers to come and save their lives.
"Baga, Baga, way to go!"
The Japanese captain slapped several squadron leaders several times.
"Hi Yi!"
Although several Japanese squadrons were beaten, they could only bow their heads and cheer, not daring to refute.
The Japanese captain had no other choice but to let the field artillery continue bombing, hoping to kill most of the Nationalist troops on the position before attacking.
The artillery bombardment stopped after five minutes.
Looking at the smoke all over the mountain, no one showed up, and no figure moved.
The Japanese captain gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
"Yoshi, the bombing should be almost complete this time! Pass my order, the first squadron will be responsible for the front, the second squadron will be responsible for the left wing, and the third squadron will be responsible for the right wing. The fourth squadron will provide support from behind! Attack!"
The order was given and the Japanese soldiers attacked forward again.
The first, second and third squadrons each suffered about a hundred casualties.
There were only about a hundred soldiers left in each squadron.
Looking at these Japanese soldiers divided into three groups, Ouyang Tianqing became so anxious that his face turned pale and cold.
"Damn it, the Japs are trying to surround us! Lao Liu, hurry up and find a way!"
Lao Liu couldn't help but laugh.
"As expected, the troops are divided into three groups. Good, very good, very good!"
"What's good about that? Our people are basically at the front. There are not many people on the two wings. If we are surrounded by the Japanese on both wings, we will definitely be finished!"
Ouyang Tianqing kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Don't worry, I'm ready. There are minefields on both wings, and there are other troops lying in ambush! Notify everyone that the enemy will surely launch a feint attack from the front. Let everyone remain hidden. Take out the infantry guns and aim at the enemy's infantry guns. Damn it, it's time to let the enemy's infantry guns have a taste of our shells!"
After the order was given, the brothers quickly pushed several infantry guns out of the bunker, placed them in the trenches, and began to aim at the Japanese infantry gun positions.
When the Japanese in the front were launching a feint attack, General Yuan gave an order and four infantry guns fired at the Japanese infantry guns.
Continuous infantry artillery shells flew towards the Japanese infantry artillery positions.
Seeing the flying shells, the Japanese artillerymen were so scared that their faces turned pale and they turned around and ran away.
Because they were also artillerymen, when they heard the sound, they knew they were heading towards the position. If they stayed on the position, they would be waiting for death.
The Japanese had not run far when four shells landed on the artillery position and exploded.
Four infantry guns were blown over and many Japanese artillerymen were killed.
Four rounds of artillery bombardment followed.
There were only a few Japanese soldiers left on the Japanese infantry artillery position.
"Bakayaloo! What kind of position is this? Two rounds of field artillery bombardment and one round of air strikes still haven't destroyed their infantry artillery! Bakayaloo!"
The Japanese captain gritted his teeth and roared in anger.
But he also only hoped that the soldiers on both wings could arrive quickly, try to pass through the two wings, rush onto the position, and kill all the Kuomintang troops on the position!
