Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 499 Chapter 498, I will fight back

Boom boom boom...chirp chirp...three red flares rose above the mountain ridge, the whistling sound spread far away...

As soon as they saw the signal flare rising, 16 Type mountain cannons on the Japanese artillery position opened fire at the same time. The shells flew towards the narrow gap in the sky with their backs to the midday sun.

At the same time as the Type 6 mountain cannon opened fire, there were six Type infantry cannons on the ridge. They also fired at the same angle in the direction of the thin line of sky.

For a moment, a whistling sound streaked across the clear sky, and the sound of explosions resounded throughout the world. The cliffs on the south side of the thin line of sky, the hillside on the top, and the wilderness below were all hit by the shells. The thin line of sky was plunged into a sea of ​​fire...

"Comrades, don't be afraid, stay calm, don't be afraid, the captain has been prepared!" In the bunker, the veterans calmed the emotions of the recruits and stabilized their morale.

"Haha, you Japanese devils, you finally can't bear it anymore? Comrades, the honor of our special forces regiment depends on this battle!" Over at the Special Third Company, Captain Yang's shouts echoed.

In the back, Li Yuexuan's auxiliary panel was open, and he had long been paying attention to the movements of the devils, so under his dispatch, the heavy mortar company stationed in the direction of Zuohuishan had been transferred to the north entrance of Yixiantian. At this time, they were holding the fence map drawn by Xu Nan, operating a full 12 82mm mortars, and preparing to fire at any time.

Meanwhile, Xie Nan and the others were excitedly standing in front of nine 9mm heavy rifles, carefully adjusting the parameters to achieve a hit on the first try.

This is the benefit of having an auxiliary small map. Li Yuexuan judged the attack intention of the devils through their formation. So, he decided to play a big game with the devils at noon today!
Why do we have to play a big one? Just look at the troops that the devils have invested! There are about 1600 attacking teams, and 10 large and small armored tanks. If they are taken down in one go, the 36th Division will definitely suffer heavy losses! Killing these devils today, plus the results of yesterday's battle, means a total of about 3000 gains!

More than 3000 of them are the main infantry force of the Japanese. This will be enough to deal a heavy blow to the 36th Division!
Sitting quietly in the air defense command center, Li Yuexuan listened to the sound of the Japanese artillery shells exploding, with his eyes slightly closed, showing the calm temperament of a general who would not change his expression even if faced with a mountain collapse.

His calmness also infected all the commanders and fighters in the headquarters, as well as the soldiers of the first and second companies outside.

The Japanese artillery bombardment lasted for 10 minutes. At least 10 artillery shells were consumed on the position at Yixiantian.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese artillery shells began to extend along both sides of the gap in the sky, and the shells continued to bombard backwards until there was no longer any angle for shooting.

At the moment when the shells stopped, the rumbling sound of the engine resounded, and black smoke rose up. In the sight of the soldiers in the bunker, 6 small Douding tanks and 4 heavy Type 89 tanks broke through the cover of the mountain ridge and rushed towards the narrow sky along the mountain road built by the devils.

Behind the devils were devil soldiers holding Type 38 rifles and shining bayonets! They followed the speed of the tanks closely, lined up in a pig-surging formation, and charged towards the thin line of sky in an extremely oppressive formation.

Da da da... When they were more than 500 meters away, the machine guns of the Douding tanks began to fire, and the bullets hit the cliffs of the narrow sky, creating pieces of gravel and dust. Boom boom boom... The tank guns of the four old tanks seemed to be showing their presence, and they also fired a shot at the cliffs at the right time, which was very deterrent.

Then, the tanks continued to move forward, the infantry continued to follow, and large forces seemed to emerge from the ridge in an endless stream and move forward...

Under such cover, two Japanese heavy machine gun squadrons rushed down the mountain ridge at a very fast speed, stopped directly 400 meters away from the thin line of sky, and built the latest heavy machine gun position on the spot. Everything was so orderly, so deterrent, and so oppressive.

"Where's the company commander? Why haven't you fought yet?" At this time, veterans and new soldiers in the tunnels and bunkers were all thinking about this question. The Japanese were about to arrive right under our noses. If we didn't fight them now, it would be too late! Although our position was very high and the Japanese couldn't climb up for a while, why didn't we fight them?

"Everyone pay attention, everyone pay attention, fire immediately at the rear of the tank, hit hard!" Finally, the order to fire came from the tunnel.

"Shoot..." In the bunker, the veteran heavy machine gunners couldn't wait to press the fire button. The heavy machine gun trembled and sprayed out strings of bullets, forming 12 criss-crossing ammunition chains directly behind the Japanese tanks.

"Ahhh..." Because the distance was very close, the tanks had almost no cover for the Japanese due to their height advantage. Therefore, the bullets from the heavy machine guns actually had an unexpectedly good effect!

Da da da, da da da... The heavy machine guns were shaking, and the light machine gun shooters were naturally not idle either. They kept firing with the Qi Lali light machine guns and assault rifles, effectively finding their own presence in the blockade of the heavy machine guns.

"Baga... shoot... shoot at the bunker..." On the ridge and on the hillside, the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns chose to shoot at the bunker.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...Bang, boom, boom...the bullets and shells caused great trouble to the soldiers in the bunker, forcing them to reduce the frequency of their firing.

"Yo, the suppression was very successful! According to the original plan, continue to move forward, break through the narrow gap, and directly attack the Eighth Route Army's arsenal, turning these two lines of defense into the Maginot Line!" Among the Japanese attack team, the squadron leaders in charge of command chose to continue to break through the narrow gap according to the original attack plan at the first time.

"Very good, really good!" In the air-raid shelter command center, Li Yuexuan opened his eyes suddenly as he saw that there were no more red dots representing the Japanese passing by the southern ridge.

"Order... Second Heavy Company, immediately launch a counter-bombing attack on the Japanese artillery positions as quickly as possible! Do not save ammunition, and make sure to completely destroy the Japanese artillery positions!"

"Order, the First Heavy Mortar Company, use the 82mm mortars in your hands to destroy the Type infantry artillery position on the Japanese ridge! Then, carpet bomb, extend northward one by one, and drive all the Japanese into the narrow gap! Order the First Battalion Commander Zheng Changfeng, the First Company Commander Hu Yanbao, and the Second Company Commander Tian E to immediately enter the position and be ready to fire at any time..."
