Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1363, Meat Grinder

The Japanese invaders on Purple Mountain died peacefully.

At the beginning, the artillery fire was not fierce. Therefore, no Japanese invaders cared.

There were only twelve howitzers. The rate of fire is not fast either. Only about five rounds per minute.

"boom…"

"boom…"

The impact points of the shells were also uneven.

From Yancang Bridge to Purple Mountain. About ten kilometers. The range is very long.

Given the level of the Chinese army's artillery, it was impossible to directly hit the Japanese fortifications. Zhang Yong has no requirements in this regard.

Focus on one face coverage.

Quantity makes up for quality.

Just keep your head down and fight. Fire the cannonball. Leave everything else to God.

then…

The shells will fall here in a moment. Where it falls for a while. Almost nothing is accurate.

Under normal circumstances, if you are lucky, you may kill two, three, or three or four Japanese invaders. If you are unlucky, it will just blow up a hole.

However, there are so many Japanese invaders on the mountain! It's very crowded.

Therefore, the effect is amplified.

Because there were not enough fortifications, a small group of Japanese invaders often crowded together.

A small team is a dozen Japanese invaders! When a shell came down, they were all blown up into the sky.

After all, it is a 150mm shell. One at a time, one at a time.

It's not that the cannonballs are powerful. It was the Japanese invaders who were seeking death themselves. Too crowded.

Reflected on the radar map, they were just a handful of red dots, all of which suddenly disappeared.

Many Japanese invaders realized that something was wrong and hurriedly dispersed. As a result, while running away, he was blown up again.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

There were intermittent explosions, and the number of Japanese casualties began to rise.

After all, it is a 150mm howitzer, which cannot be carried by ordinary defenses. What's more, it was a fortification that had been destroyed by the Japanese invaders.

In such a short period of time, the Japanese invaders had no time to repair the fortifications and could only use them on the spot. The result is naturally conceivable.

Those stationed at Purple Mountain were indeed a regiment of Japanese invaders. The captain's name is Torajiro Iwai.

"Your Majesty Colonel, should we withdraw first..."

The chief of staff sensed something was wrong.

This is a large caliber howitzer.

The Chinese actually dispatched large-caliber howitzers, which should not be underestimated.

The current situation on the mountain is very unfavorable for defense. The Chinese artillery fire caused too serious damage to them.

Under normal circumstances, a small number of troops should be left to hold their position, and the main force should be withdrawn to the blind spot of the enemy's artillery fire.

Wait for the enemy's infantry to rush up, and then the main force enters the position to fight.

This is the normative requirement of the Infantry Drill Code.

"No need to panic."

Torajiro Iwai was very calm.

He originally belonged to the 108th Division. The Sixth Division was recently transferred.

He took down the Purple Mountain with his own team. This is a very good achievement. It can help him go further.

He didn't care at all about the Chinese people's counterattack.

Since the Purple Mountain can be captured offensively, there is no problem in defense.

Large caliber howitzer?

How long can the bombing last?

That is to say, just show off. There is absolutely no need to be too nervous.

If you retreat to avoid artillery fire, you may be surprised by the Chinese. The Chinese only have raids.

"Tie."

The chief of staff said nothing.

Therefore, the Japanese invaders who stayed on the mountain still stayed on the mountain.

Goodbye bombing...

"Huh?"

Zhang Yong also realized something was wrong.

They were clearly covered by heavy artillery, but the Japanese invaders still didn't run away?

His original plan was indeed to launch an attack while the main force of the Japanese invaders was withdrawing to avoid artillery fire.

Seize time with the Japanese invaders.

Make a time difference.

Take the lead in occupying the Japanese aggressors' positions before the main force of the Japanese aggressors enters the position.

There is no doubt that when the time comes, it will be a very fierce battle.

It was impossible for the Japanese invaders to give up their positions. It is impossible for the national army to retreat. One party must all die.

Unexpectedly, the main force of the Japanese invaders did not withdraw.

this…

It’s a bit unexpected!

There are good and bad.

The good thing is that the Japanese invaders were killed and injured. The force is weakened.

The bad thing is that the Japanese invaders are still in the mountains. There is no chance to make a time difference. We can only attack by force.

what to do?

have no idea.

There is no other way at the moment.

We can only attack by force.

"boom…"

"boom…"

As groups of fires erupted, the number of Japanese invaders gradually decreased.

The already destroyed fortifications continued to be destroyed by large-caliber artillery shells. There are few safe places to hide.

Purple Mountain, which was almost bare to begin with, is completely bare.

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Take the call from the 10th Artillery Regiment!"

"yes."

"Peng Mengji?"

"exist!"

"Have the cannonballs from Zhongshan Pier been transported?"

"Part of it was shipped over."

"Then keep fighting! Keep fighting until we run out of supply!"

"clear!"

"good!"

Zhang Yong hung up the phone.

Since the Japanese invaders will not retreat, use artillery fire to kill them.

What?

Move position?

unnecessary. No threat.

Why choose Yancang Bridge as the position of the 10th Artillery Regiment?

It was he who repeatedly studied the map of Kongfinger to confirm that it was safe. There is no threat from Japanese artillery fire.

Unless it is daytime, the Japanese air force is dispatched. Use aircraft to bomb.

But, it's night now...

So, it's safe tonight.

Suddenly forgot one thing.

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Take the call from the anti-aircraft artillery regiment."

"yes."

"Lei Xinghu? I am Zhang Yong!"

"Commissioner..."

"Arrange the cars and personnel of your anti-aircraft artillery regiment to go to Zhongshan Pier to help the 10th Artillery Regiment pull artillery shells! Guaranteed supply!"

"clear!"

"Go!"

Zhang Yong hung up the phone.

The anti-aircraft artillery regiment has cars. This is a necessary vehicle.

Those 150mm artillery shells are very heavy. One piece seems to weigh more than 40 kilograms.

If it is carried on someone's shoulders, it simply cannot be carried over long distances.

The so-called mechanization is basically automobileization.

There must be more cars.

Including troop carriers, ammunition trucks, and tractors.

Looking at the entire battlefield of World War II, the only one who can truly achieve mechanization is the United States.

Every time the American soldiers go out and walk three to four kilometers, they have to take a car. There is no such concept as two legs or rapid march.

car…

Can the system provide cars?

By the way, at this moment, it would be good to provide twenty or thirty trucks!

No need to be too advanced. As long as it's a car.

Not foreign. New China is fine! Jiefang and Dongfeng are no problem...

However, the system was unresponsive.

never mind…

It is estimated that the tank factory will need to be upgraded.

So be it. Boil it for a while first.

"boom…"

"boom…"

Silently observing the artillery fire at Purple Mountain.

The radar map shows that the number of red dots seems to have been reduced by half?

Okay, okay, this is best.

I don't even need to do anything, I can directly reimburse most of it with artillery fire.

If the Japanese invaders are so stubborn, they will flatten the top of the mountain ten meters!

longing for…

Suddenly something was wrong.

Huh?

Has the red dot started to move?

Start retreating south?

Want to avoid gunfire?

hehe…

Finally couldn't hold it any longer?

I thought you were really not afraid of death, but I didn’t expect you would be scared.

Ha ha!

Smirk proudly.

The time has come!

Prepare to attack!

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Take the call from the 10th Artillery Regiment."

"yes."

"Peng Mengji!"

"arrive."

"Listen to my order clearly and stop the bombardment in twenty minutes!"

"yes!"

"Repeat the order."

"Stop the bombardment in twenty minutes!"

"Check the clock. It's four past seven."

"Copy that. It's seven and four."

"that's all."

Zhang Yong hung up the phone.

Take out the Garand semi-automatic rifle.

Everyone else stood up immediately.

No need to speak.

I already knew what I wanted to do.

attack!

attack!

attack!

Either destroy the Japanese invaders.

Or die on the mountain.

Xixisuosuo…

Xixisuosuo…

Follow the trenches to the front line.

Outside the trench, it was a mess. There are mortal dangers everywhere.

Zhang Yong rubbed his face. Start. accelerate. Jump out of the trenches. Then lie down on the ground. Creep forward.

Behind him, other soldiers jumped out of the trenches and crawled along the ground.

In the darkness there was only the light of exploding shells. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes it goes out.

There are no red dots nearby.

There are no mine signs.

It's safe for now.

The Japanese invaders had not yet had time to lay the ground. This is a good thing.

Get up. Cat crotches. Get ready to climb the mountain.

The mountains that have been repeatedly bombarded by artillery shells have no vegetation, only soft soil.

"superior!"

"superior!"

Someone shouted from behind.

One by one, silhouettes climbed up the mountain. Like a spider.

Climb and crawl...

Climb and crawl...

The Japanese invaders did not fight back for the time being.

Most of the Japanese invaders retreated to avoid the artillery fire.

A small number of Japanese invaders who stayed on guard. In the darkness, no national troops were seen climbing up.

Of course, this is because it is still far away. There are still two to three hundred meters to go. If you continue to get closer, you will be discovered.

Climb and crawl...

Climb and crawl...

Sure enough, the Japanese invaders discovered him.

"Snap hook!"

"Snap hook!"

Sharp gunshots were heard.

Instead of lying on the ground, Zhang Yong stood up.

All other officers and soldiers of the Chinese army also stood up.

The cat bent his waist and climbed up hard.

"superior!"

"superior!"

The officer shouted.

By this time, there was no need to hide.

The only thing to do is-

Take time!

Trade your life!

No one dodges the incoming bullets!

There is only one thought in my mind, rush forward! Occupy the main peak!

When the gun goes off, the Japanese invaders will also react.

The Japanese invaders would also return madly and start a **** battle.

In fact, the radar map shows that the red dot moving southward is moving northward and is obviously retreating.

"Baga!"

"As expected!"

"Crack!"

Torajiro Iwai was anxious and angry.

Give the chief of staff a slap on the spot.

It was the other party who repeatedly persuaded me to retreat. Said the casualties were too great. Torajiro Iwai himself was unwilling to retreat. He judged that the Chinese would definitely launch a surprise attack under the cover of artillery fire.

really…

That's it!

If it is not taken down...

Baga!

"Kill Jiji!"

"Kill Jiji!"

Order the troops to fight back immediately.

The Chinese must not be allowed to take the lead in seizing the main peak.

Absolutely not!

"quick!"

"quick!"

The Japanese invaders were running backwards like crazy.

At this time, the howitzer bombing had not stopped, and shells were still falling.

However, the Japanese invaders did not care at all about their own casualties. Rush upward with all your might.

Seven twenty-three…

7:24…

The shelling ceased.

Suddenly, Purple Mountain became quiet.

No more shell explosions. Instead, everyone's heart beats out repeatedly.

Both the Japanese invaders and the Chinese army realized that the final fight was about to begin.

Zhang Yong changed his gun.

Replace the Garand semi-automatic with a Thomson.

Got to work.

Close life!

There was a firefight with the Japanese aggressors at a distance of less than 200 meters.

A red dot appears…

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

A shuttle passed by.

Then take out the grenade. Throw!

"boom…"

A dull explosion.

The hiding red dot disappeared.

keep going.

Spot the red dot.

It is also hidden.

Take the grenade.

Throw.

"boom…"

A dull explosion.

The shelling stopped, and the top of the mountain was temporarily dark.

In the darkness, it was almost impossible to see.

"boom…"

"boom…"

The grenades exploded intermittently.

Those are all Zhang Yong's masterpieces. Click on the picture to find out. Each grenade was blown to pieces.

Those Japanese invaders who were hiding were sent to the Yingguo Shrine before they could see where the enemy was.

This is why Zhang Yong must lead the team himself.

Otherwise, it will waste too much time.

And time is the foundation of victory.

Once the Japanese invaders return to their positions first, it will be over.

Continue upward.

Zhang Yong found that his endurance seemed to be very good.

Climbing all the way up from the bottom of the mountain is not very tiring. The enhanced body is indeed abnormal.

The radar map prompts that there are many red dots ahead.

Oh, here comes the main peak.

He has climbed to the top of the Forbidden City...

wrong.

It is the top of purple gold.

However, it seems to be of no use.

The top of the mountain is relatively flat. The terrain is not dangerous.

Don't even think about the kind of thing where one man is in charge and ten thousand men can't get past it. On the contrary, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

what to do?

There is no other way. You can only mess around.

Take out a mine. Throw it hard towards the red dot.

Then he took out another one. Throw…

And again…

Throwing mines desperately.

Just right, there is a slight slope...

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, a loud noise came.

Then a large ball of fire broke out. Light up the entire mountaintop.

Oh, some Japanese invaders stepped on a landmine.

well.

Clear a large area.

It killed and injured at least a dozen Japanese invaders.

At the same time, the bright light of the explosion allowed both warring parties to see each other.

"Kill Jiji!"

"Kill Jiji!"

The Japanese invaders went crazy.

Swelling up like a wild animal.

The bayonet of Sanba Gai flashed with an icy cold light...

"kill!"

"kill!"

The national army also showed no signs of weakness.

The submachine guns in front are all held directly in front of the chest, holding the fire while moving forward.

Line up and move forward.

Advance step by step.

Tactics? Doesn't exist.

At this point, what tactics are there?

It is the most primitive action.

Push forward.

Overwhelm the opponent.

Either you die or I die.

Those in front fall, and those behind take up their place.

One after another.

Like a tidal wave.

"Rumble..."

There was another violent explosion.

Mines…

Another Japanese invader stepped on a landmine. Once it explodes, it becomes a big piece.

However, at this moment, landmines are no longer the protagonist. Face-to-face fighting is the protagonist.

"Da da da..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

Various submachine guns fired almost face to face.

The dense rain of bullets killed the Japanese invaders who rushed up in a row.

Almost no bullet is wasted.

Every bullet fired can hit the Japanese invaders.

No one knows how long.

Everyone's minds are blank.

There are only enemies in his eyes.

There are only enemies in my mind.

Not dead yet? Then keep fighting! Until he was beaten to death!

"Da da da..."

"Da da da..."

Czech light machine guns began to join the battlefield.

However, the area occupied by the national army is getting larger and larger, and more and more firepower can be deployed.

"Baga..."

"Kill Jiji..."

Torajiro Iwai was furious.

It's over...

It's over...

The Chinese people swarmed forward and could no longer be driven away.

Failure has become a foregone conclusion.

Damn...

The Purple Mountain, which was captured only yesterday, was taken back today.

"Baga!"

"You're dead!"

It suddenly raised its command knife. The chief of staff was hacked to death with one knife.

It’s all the other side!

The other party repeatedly persuaded them to retreat.

If there is no opponent, Torajiro Iwai will not retreat easily.

But now!

It failed!

It's all the Chief of Staff's fault!

"kill…"

Torajiro Iwai roared hysterically.

It frantically ordered the soldiers around it to rush forward. He also raised his command sword and moved forward crazily.

Crazy…

Its soldiers are crazy…

As the captain of the team, it has also gone crazy...

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Da da da..."

The soldiers who rushed forward were constantly beaten to death.

However, Torajiro Iwai still moved forward regardless.

Between running for his life and dying in battle, he chooses the latter. It is the warrior of the Japanese Empire...

Suddenly, I felt like I stepped on something with my left foot...

"Landmines?"

"I was wrong. I am not a warrior..."

"I want to live..."

A brief thought flashed through my mind.

Then, everything disappeared.

As the landmine exploded, Torajiro Iwai and the Japanese invaders around him were all blown to pieces.

"boom…"

"boom…"

There were more explosions.

But the national army's mortars also came up.

Temporary artillery.

Free fire.

The shell landed exactly where Torajiro Iwai was blown to pieces.

So, all this was covered up by repeated explosions. No one knows anymore that a Japanese colonel died here.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Da da da..."

The last Japanese invader fell in a pool of blood.

Crazy indeed. Not a single Japanese invader survived.

The radar map showed that there was no longer a red dot nearby.

The gunshots gradually stopped.

Purple Mountain suddenly became extremely quiet again.

There was only the sound of the night wind.

"puff!"

Someone sat down on the ground.

But after the fierce battle, his body collapsed and could no longer hold up.

There were also seriously injured people who slowly sat on the ground and then made no sound anymore. Just sleep quietly.

The battle just now was their last breath to support them. Now, the battle is over and it's time to go.

With the joy of victory and satisfaction, they went to another world to continue fighting.

"ah…"

"ah…"

Someone let out intermittent moans.

There was a fierce battle just now, and the pain of the wound was completely unnoticeable. Now that the battle is over, the pain returns immediately.

"Commissioner..."

Crazy Qiu ran over.

Covered in dirt. And blood.

I don’t know if it’s my own or the Japanese invaders’. Or both.

"Withdraw!"

"yes."

Madman Qiu turned and left.

The national troops who occupied the main peak quickly retreated.

Remove the wounded.

Remove the body of the deceased.

Must withdraw.

Because the Japanese artillery fire will come soon.

The reason why they haven't been covered by artillery fire yet may be that the Japanese invaders haven't reacted yet.

The Japanese invaders probably did not expect that Purple Mountain would be lost so quickly.

Zhang Yong lowered his head and looked at his watch.

Exactly eight o'clock.

From the start of the battle to the end of the battle, about one hour?

It's really fast. He himself was very satisfied.

However, this is just the beginning. A more intense battle is yet to come.

The Japanese invaders will definitely not give up. There will definitely be a wild scramble. Purple Mountain will become a cruel meat grinder.

You rush up and I'll cover you with artillery fire.

I rush up and you cover me with artillery fire.

No matter who wants to control Purple Mountain, they will have to pay a heavy price.

"call…"

Sure enough, the sound of breaking through the sky came.

It was the Japanese invaders who came to retaliate with artillery fire.

Run quickly!
