Throughout Songshan, more than a dozen peaks of different sizes are connected, and ravines are vertical and horizontal, and there is a trend of "one man guards the gate, ten thousand men cannot open it". A winding road hovers among the mountains, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

And at the front of Songshan Mountain, there is a peak protruding like a tortoise's head. This is the high ground that the soldiers are about to face - Gunlongpo, which is also the first pass of Songshan Mountain.

Through the telescope, you can clearly see the bunkers criss-crossing on the top of the mountain, the outline of bunkers, traffic trenches, circular trenches, etc.

Having just experienced a battle, a small number of Japanese troops are cleaning the battlefield, collecting weapons, ammunition, etc. from the dead soldiers of the New Fifth Division.

It seems that Liu Dakun fought quite embarrassingly in this battle. Soldiers of the No. 40 Army rarely leave their brothers behind, even if they are killed in battle, but now, I am afraid that dozens of them can be seen at a glance.

Su Peng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It's almost there, order the artillery regiment to start covering!"

The messenger immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called the artillery regiment erected on the east bank of the Nu River to fire immediately.

In an instant, the screaming sound of shells sounded, and then countless shells poured on the enemy's position. Amidst the rumbling explosion, the enemy's entire forward position was covered by artillery fire.

The No.40 Army has always had enough ammunition, and Liu Dakun said that the enemy's defense line is so strong, the artillery attack took longer. Dozens of heavy artillery repeatedly plowed Gun Longpo several times, fully blasting It took nearly half an hour to end, the gunfire stopped for 10 minutes, the smoke had not completely dissipated, and the original green vegetation on the mountain could hardly be seen, all were bullet craters, looking from a distance, it looked like a piece of land that had just been plowed Fields, just waiting to be sown.

The remaining fire on the battlefield has not disappeared, and the densely packed soldiers at the bottom of the mountain began to surge upwards. More than a dozen helicopters also hovered in midair, observing the enemy's positions from a distance, and guiding the ground troops to attack. Thanks to the lessons learned, The enemy's anti-aircraft firepower was too strong and unable to strike, and the helicopter could only swim outside the effective range of anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns, and did not dare to get too close.

Ten minutes later, the attacking troops rushed up the mountainside from the two wings, and the enemy's defense line was still silent. There were no Japanese soldiers in the trenches, and there was a dead silence on the top of the mountain.

The troops continued to advance. At 500 meters, 300 meters, and 200 meters, the Japanese army still did not move. It's 200 meters, and the little devil is so calm. If the distance is closer, one charge can advance to the top of the mountain and directly enter the trench of the little devil. This phenomenon usually only happens in two situations. The first It was they who gave up their positions, and the second was that they were full of confidence, even if the attacking troops advanced to a very threatening distance, they could still fight.

However, the Japanese army on Gunlongpo would never give up their positions, so there is only the second possibility, and in this case, the attack on the attacking troops is also very tragic. Su Peng began to understand Liu Dakun's point of view Why didn't the army even bring down the bodies of the fallen soldiers? With such a short attack distance, if the enemy's firepower was fierce, the soldiers would have no time and no chance to drag down the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

Seeing that the soldiers were about to advance to a distance of 100 meters, Su Peng's heart was already in his throat, and his hands holding the binoculars were trembling slightly.

Suddenly, through the binoculars, a large number of Japanese soldiers emerged from the trenches. Immediately, all kinds of guns opened fire, and the bullets poured down the mountain like rain. AK47 and even light and heavy machine guns came out of the crater and began to fight back.

Immediately on the top of the mountain, a large number of Japanese heavy machine guns and light machine gun firepower points appeared, and the firepower points were divided into several layers. The bullets were scattered all over the battlefield. Suddenly, the soldiers of the national army panicked. The temporary firepower points were smashed by the Japanese army, and many soldiers were torn to pieces by the bullets in an instant.

Su Peng finally figured out that the top of the mountain looks the same as the original mountain, but it is actually a blockhouse, and there are several sub-forts, side forts, and dark forts on the two wings. The crossfire is densely woven like a net, which can basically cover To the entire battlefield, there are no dead ends at all.

Su Peng roughly estimated that the casualties of the two forward battalions in the attack of less than 10 minutes just now may have been close to one-third. It will be exhausted, but it is not reconciled to let him give up the attack.

At the same time, Jiang Haoran's order was to break through the Japanese army's defense line as quickly as possible, penetrate to the north of Burma, and do everything possible to join forces with the expeditionary army. Therefore, no matter whether there was a mountain of swords and seas of fire ahead, they could only rush forward.

Gritting his teeth, Su Peng gave Yan Zheng another order to launch smoke bombs on the enemy's positions, increase troops to the front, and continue to charge upwards. He must knock open the tortoise shell of the Japanese army.

Soon, smoke rose from the forward position, and the entire mountain was covered by a vast expanse of whiteness. The national army soldiers on the mountainside continued to increase their troops to the front, while the national army on the position had already raised the blue sky and white sun flag, and began to march towards the top of the mountain. Charge.

The enemy machine guns in the smoke screen did not stop. Although the target could not be seen, the bullets still poured out like rain. The soldiers of the national army were cut down row by row, and a blue sky and white sun flag fell to the ground several times, but was quickly lifted up again. , continue to move forward, go on and on.

Seeing that the flag was about to advance to the smoke screen, suddenly, there was a scream of shells over the position, and immediately, countless shells flew out from the back mountain, and all fell on the position of the national army. The soldiers of the national army who were blown away were covered with dense artillery fire, reaching halfway up the mountain.

"Damn it!" Su Peng cursed angrily, the binoculars hit the ground, his face was already extremely ferocious, and then he howled: "Order, retreat, retreat quickly!"

At this point in the battle, no matter how many troops you invest in attacking, you will only be able to send soldiers to die in vain. With this kind of firepower and this kind of protection, there is no possibility of tearing through the Japanese defense line.

Liu Dakun on the side also put down the binoculars in his hand, his face was also very ugly, and he cursed angrily: "Damn it, the little devil also arranged a curved firepower from a reverse slope, and the firepower can cover most of the battlefield. There are not dozens of cannons to do it all!" not come down."

Liu Dakun retreated when his first attack was blocked, and did not continue to expand his attack. Therefore, the little devil's artillery fire was not exposed. This round of onslaught by the New Eleventh Brigade exposed the enemy's wealth.
