Rise from eight hundred.

"Let me fire on the two bunker firepower points, and shoot down the stupid ones! The precise shooters aim at the officers or grenadier soldiers, and make them stupid. No one else can move rashly!" He has led the soldiers back from the air-raid shelter through the traffic trenches. Boss Cao, who arrived at the trench, was running in the trench while crouching and shouting orders.

The Japanese machine gun firepower was sparing no effort, and it was really a threat to the infantry on the ground who needed to shoot from above, so the only way was to expose the two light machine guns located in the bunker in advance.

After receiving the order, the two machine gun bunkers located on both sides of the position began to fire on the Japanese infantry 180 meters below.

After receiving the order, the two machine gun bunkers pushed aside the camouflaged rocks at the firing ports, and the black machine guns burst out with bright sparks.

Two whips whipped hard at the Japanese soldiers who were advancing with their backs bent!

The Japanese army is actually very cautious. The distance between individual soldiers is definitely more than 5 meters. There are only 40 Japanese infantrymen on a horizontal plane at most. Such sparse battle positions are enough to ensure that the opponent's heavy firepower will not cause damage due to the dense formation. Massive casualties.

But the 39th Division obviously still lacks experience in fighting the Four Lines Regiment, and has no idea that in the face of the crazy rate of fire of the MG42, all individual soldier distances are illusory.

In just ten seconds, the two MG42s firing at full speed each emptied a 250-round ammunition belt.

Under the crazy rain of bullets, all the Japanese infantry lay prone on the ground, and at least 20 unlucky ones were shot.

Unlike the battlefields that the 231st Infantry Regiment had encountered before, there were still many wounded people who could mourn after being hit by light machine guns.

Ninety percent of the consequences of being hit by an MG42 are death, because at that moment, it is not just one bullet that hits the body, but basically five or six.

How did the Japanese infantry feel when they saw their colleagues being beaten into a sieve with their hands and feet twisted and lying within sight? It won't be very good anyway.

"Order the infantry artillery squad to kill the Chinese firepower!" Sano Yoshizo's face under the telescope was gloomy, but he remained calm.

It is certain that the Chinese have heavy firepower, but beyond his expectation, the rate of fire of the machine gun used by the Chinese is really terrifying.

The Japanese Army Colonel could clearly see streaks of blood shooting out of his own soldiers through his telescope. In less than 3 seconds, seven or eight soldiers were hit and fell to the ground.

I don't know what the true rate of fire of this machine gun is, but it can definitely kill the Empire's Type 92 heavy machine gun instantly, let alone the Type 200 light machine gun with 96 rounds per minute.

It must be another new weapon sold to the Chinese by the damn Americans! Yoshizo Sano instinctively put the blame on the Americans. If it weren't for these arms dealers, how could the Chinese be better than the empire in terms of equipment?

The Americans said they were wronged, your Germanic boss is not a good person, they are just as greedy for money! You know, their opponents are in Europe and Africa, and they don't even think about coming to the Far East and Asia.

However, Yoshizo Sano, who was even more ruthless towards the Americans, was still confident at this moment. He believed that under the bombardment of the two infantry cannons, the two machine gun bunkers would be doomed sooner or later.

The Japanese infantry, whose attack was frustrated, stayed on the hillside about 180 meters away from the Chinese position. While enduring two machine guns shooting at them, they were also waiting for the two infantry cannons of the brigade to remove the two nails.

They have done this in countless battles. As long as the infantry artillery kills the heavy firepower exposed by the Chinese, the Chinese will become toothless tigers, and sooner or later they will be their prey.

The two infantry cannons fired accurately. After several consecutive shots, one shell finally hit the machine gun bunker head-on.

Thick black smoke rose from the machine gun bunker, and rocks flew everywhere!

Then, the machine gun that had been firing desperately just now misfired.

"Long live the Empire!" The Japanese infantrymen on the hillside, who had been suffering for a long time, cheered hoarsely.

"Lao Zhang, report the situation!" Boss Cao in the trench felt nervous and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie at hand and called.

The machine gunner in the No. 1 machine gun bunker is a veteran machine gunner of the 4th Squadron. His military rank has long been promoted to sergeant. He would rather be the deputy squad leader in the 4th Squadron than be the squad leader in another platoon.

It is strange to say that since the last battle in Jindong, only Tu Yunsheng and Boss Cao were lost in the 4th squad, the fate of the 4th squad seemed to have changed, and the number of troops in the th squad was very small in the subsequent battles.

In two years, only 5 people died and 18 were injured. 12 of them finally recovered and returned to the team. Many brothers have been together for more than two years. The feeling of living and dying together for two years even surpasses that of biological brothers. Seeing the No. 1 machine gun The bunker was directly hit by a shell, and the sandbags and rocks covering the bunker were blown away. Boss Cao, who was still very confident at first, couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Not to mention the machine gun in the No. 1 machine gun bunker is the most important firepower point on Highland 13, but there are three brothers inside.

"The artillery fire of the bastard Japs is pretty accurate. I'm seeing stars in my eyes right now, but the brothers in the engineering battalion have done a good job and they won't die for the time being." Lao Zhang gasped over the walkie-talkie. A rough voice.

The two machine gun bunkers were built by the engineering battalion themselves. A pit nearly two meters deep was first dug. The exposed outermost half-meter-high bunker was made of rocks and sandbags, and the inner layer was made of 12 mm thick steel plates. Then use logs as thick as a human waist for support. Although its protective power cannot withstand large-caliber heavy artillery such as the 105 howitzer, it can still block a few direct shots from small-caliber artillery such as the 75 mountain gun or the 70mm infantry gun. This This is also the reason why Boss Cao dared to easily expose the two firepower output positions on Highland 13 during the first wave of Japanese attacks.

But even with such a thick protection, being hit by a shell so directly, the three soldiers inside were shocked and dizzy, and almost wanted to spurt blood!

"Okay, if you can still curse, it means you can't die. Lao Zhang, you will temporarily stop firing as planned, and wait until you receive the order!" Boss Cao's single eye flashed with cold light. "These hundred devils alone are not enough to kill them, we have to lure them out."

If it were anyone else, they would probably say that this one-eyed dragon is bragging. You, the deputy platoon commander, are on a high ground and you are the 37th man, but you still think that the number of more than a hundred Japanese who are slowly approaching is too small.

But who is Boss Cao? That was a man of genius who withstands the attack of dozens of Japanese soldiers for nearly an hour by relying on two incompetent men. Whoever mentioned this middle-aged man who had been a cook in the Four Elements Group was not allowed to give a thumbs up and say: "He's a man!"

If he says it's too little, that means it's really too little.

The No. 1 machine gun bunker stopped firing, and the No. 2 machine gun bunker didn't last long. After two consecutive shots hit the machine gun bunker, the two machine guns that were so powerful just now stopped firing.

Sparse rifle shots rang out from the position, and many soldiers faced the hail of bullets and began shooting to suppress them.

"Yo Xi! Tell Mr. Morita that the artillery team performed very well in this battle. I hope they will continue to be glorious." A smile appeared on Sano Yoshizo's face for the first time.

"The Chinese firepower has been removed. Notify Squadron Leader Ono that he can attack the enemy high ground with all his strength, and reassure him that two infantry squads will follow.

In addition, let him not be sad for the imperial warriors who died in the battle, we will avenge them with the lives of all Chinese on the highlands! "

As the Japanese army colonel issued the order, the long blast of the Japanese hand-cranked siren came from the position, which was the signal for the attack.

In the dense forest on the other side of the mountain, more than a hundred Japanese troops advanced towards the position at high speed!

Standing hundreds of meters away, Tang Dao could see that on the mountainous terrain in front of Highland No. 13, which was only 400 meters deep and 350 meters wide, there were more than 200 Japanese infantrymen, like a group of hungry locusts in a cornfield.

"Is Lao Cao trying to lure the enemy deeper? I think he didn't even invest a few infantry! Is it possible that your 3rd Battalion will use all the artillery to focus on the hillside of No. 13 Heights later?" Tang Dao looked at the battlefield in the distance. , asked.

"Hehe! There are only 200 little devils. It's not worth using precious artillery shells to kill them. You don't have to worry about it. This move was made by the officers and soldiers of my 3rd Battalion after brainstorming. I guarantee that the little devils will have a good drink. Pot." Li Jijin said with a smile.

As the gunfire on the position became more and more intense, the losses of the Japanese infantry also increased, but the Japanese army still did not stop the attack. The Japanese infantry closest to the position had even reached a position less than 90 meters away from the first-line trench.

Then, a 'tick-tick-tick' sound suddenly sounded on the battlefield! Tick ​​tock! 'The sound of the charge.

Not to mention the Japanese infantrymen who were advancing bravely, even Tang Dao was stunned. Isn't this the sound of the Charge?

Even if it's a countercharge, it shouldn't be done at this time! Wouldn't that put dozens of soldiers under the threat of Japanese light and heavy machine gun fire? "Boom~~~" The first thing was the shrill scream that sounded in the sky.

That was the sound of two 13-mm mortars and one 60-mm mortar assigned to Hill 82. The three mortars remained silent. Even though the Japanese light and heavy machine guns were firing happily, they did not fire back.

It's not about saving shells, but waiting for the moment when the charge sounds!

"Boom, boom, boom!" The heavy machine gun firepower point placed by the Japanese army in the dense forest hundreds of meters away was obviously panicked in the rising smoke.

The Chinese mortars were coming. Logically speaking, they had to carry heavy machine guns and move as soon as possible. However, the Chinese were blowing the charge horn again, which meant that they wanted to fight back. According to military regulations, they had to fight back with all their strength.

In such a panic and tangle, three mortars fired more than 3 shells in a row, blowing up the area where the Japanese heavy machine gun firepower was located. At least two heavy machine guns and their shooters were blown to pieces.

Finally, the other four heavy machine gun groups of the Japanese army could no longer bear it, and they all raised their heavy machine guns and started running away mode.

Military regulations are considered a base hegemon. If he doesn't leave, he won't even have the chance to be punished.

This is human nature. Between life and strict adherence to military regulations, few people can firmly choose the latter.

But you also have to say that the Japanese army was indeed very disciplined. They were all in escape mode, and even had to carry a 60-kilogram heavy machine gun instead of just running away.

Seeing the hidden mortars and artillery fire from the Chinese side, the heavy machine gun position was filled with smoke. Several heavy machine guns that had been firing happily just now collectively misfired. The Japanese infantry on the position suddenly felt their hearts drop. Shen.

All they can do now is lie on the ground and aim their guns upward. If the Chinese really jump out of the trenches and charge towards them, they will resolutely fight back.

But within two minutes of the sound of the charge, apart from calling in mortars to fire back, no infantrymen foolishly jumped out of the trenches.

Yoshizo Sano and the more than 200 infantrymen on the position in the distance were slightly relieved. This may be another way for the Chinese to send signals!

And there were only a few small-caliber mortars, which were not enough to stop the more than 200 imperial warriors from attacking.

Accompanied by the roars of the Japanese front-line commanders and the shouts of officers at all levels, the Japanese infantry who had just fallen down began to bend their backs and continue to move forward.

"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" The voice of the Charge sounded again.

Come again? The Japanese infantrymen hurriedly lay down again, their vigilant eyes almost missing the trenches a hundred meters away.

As long as the Chinese dared to jump out of the trenches, they would shoot them outside the trenches with extremely precise shooting skills.

Although I am very confident, it would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.

Because on the battlefield in Central China for more than a year, when such a charge was sounded, the Chinese often went into desperate mode and rushed over under a hail of bullets. Even if they could all be killed, there was no telling how many imperial colleagues would be stained with blood on the battlefield.

This is a lose-lose trumpet. Anyway, as soon as it sounds, Death will be too busy to do anything.

As a result, they still did not wait for the Chinese infantry to counterattack. Instead, they waited for the two machine guns that had just misfired to open fire.

"idiot!"

Regardless of the Japanese troops on the ground or fighting outside the position, the collective roared in their hearts.

Wasn't this thing destroyed by the infantry artillery of the brigade? Why is it resurrected again?

But no matter how many doubts they had, the two MG42s that fired wildly suppressed all the Japanese troops on the hillside with a depth of 300 meters.

"Good guy, Lao Cao is really going to counterattack!" Tang Dao suddenly opened his mouth. "But I know what you guys are going to do with them. This is a good idea!"

"This is also the first time. I don't know how effective it will be. Whether it will succeed or not depends on the brothers under Company Commander Deng." Li Jijin was praised by Tang Dao, and the wrinkles on his face almost unfurled.

"Quick, sound the alarm and let Ono-kun lead the imperial officers and soldiers to retreat temporarily!" Major Yoshizo Sano, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, turned pale at this time and ordered repeatedly.

It’s not scary that China blew the charge horn twice in a row, nor is it scary to have mortars and high-speed machine guns. What’s scary is that the Chinese can continue to hide important firepower points that have not been destroyed, and then take them out when the imperial infantry makes a desperate charge. With the ferocious firepower they had previously displayed, they would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the unsuspecting imperial infantry.

But the Chinese did not do this. Instead, they used it as a means of fire suppression to suppress the infantry on the hillside.

All information shows that they still have a means, a means that is enough to kill more than 200 infantrymen suppressed on the hillside.

Although Yoshizo Sano tried hard, he couldn't think of any other trump cards that the Chinese had, and it was unrealistic to cover them with artillery. After all, there were four battlefields now. With the few large-caliber artillery that the Chinese had limitedly, could they put them all here?

Just as the Japanese army's hand-cranked alarm sounded, the sound of the charge horn "Tick-tick! Tick-tick!" was heard again from the high ground.

Again? The Japanese infantrymen who were still lying on the position were almost knocked unconscious.

The first time mortars appeared, the second time "resurrection" of heavy firepower points, what, the third time you can still have tanks appear?

The Japanese wish was fulfilled.

Located more than 30 meters below the first line of trenches on the high ground, three large holes suddenly appeared on three slopes with a slope of up to 60 degrees.

Then, the roar of huge engines echoed across the battlefield.

Three small tanks with black smoke coming out of their butts rushed out of three holes and rushed towards the Japanese infantry below.

All the Japanese were stunned.

It is not that they have never seen Chinese tanks, but they cannot understand how there are tanks in such mountainous areas.

What makes the Japanese even more horrified is that this small tank, which is similar in size to the Imperial Type 94 tank, can actually run on such a slope.

Of course, the most terrible thing is not how ferocious this tank is, but that if they continue to lie on the ground and wait for the tank tracks to crush them, they will turn into pulp.

No matter how small a tank is, it is still a tank.

"Retreat!" The screams of Ono Goro, who was more than 200 meters in front of the position, were simply earth-shattering and could even be heard on the Chinese position 200 meters away.

"Class 2 will stay behind. Class 4 will accompany me and the chariot company brothers to kill the idiots." Boss Cao waved his hand, and 14 soldiers carrying submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles followed Boss Cao out of the trench.

The Four Elements Regiment's first infantry-tank collaboration appeared on a small high ground.

Using three tanks as arrows, they led 3 infantrymen to launch a countercharge towards the more than 15 surprised Japanese troops. (End of chapter)
