Chapter 262: Temptation
Chapter 262 Testing
Nakajima Tani felt that on the battlefield, what he saw was his two brigades, squatting thousands of meters at the foot of the nameless mountain, watching the Chinese army establish a position on the top of the mountain, but they were indifferent.
"Baga!" The furious Nakashimaya Fufu generously rewarded Kasyapa Miura and Masao Kumamoto who came to report to him, giving each of them two loud slaps.
"Why didn't you attack! Do you want to let all the Chinese people go?" Nakajima Tani's face was almost deformed with anger, and he roared at Kasyapa Miura and Masao Kumamoto.
Miura Kassapa and Kumamoto Masao stood hunched in front of Nakajima Tani, not daring to express their anger. After receiving the slap in the face, they also accepted the saliva sprayed from Nakajima Tani's mouth.
Mr. Nakashimatani spat at the two Japanese majors and cursed them for nearly ten minutes. Then, after each slapped him twice, he roared at him: "Attack now! I'll give him a slap in the face."
If you can't break through the Chinese defense line in half an hour, then you can have your own disembowelment on the battlefield!"
"Hai!"
After Kassapa Miura and Masao Kumamoto saluted Mr. Nakajima Tani as if they had received amnesty, they turned around and quickly fled to their own troops. Mr. Nakajima Tani's curse made Miura Kassapa feel grudge against Masao Kumamoto. Unexpectedly,
For other reasons, it was Masao Kumamoto who first suggested waiting until Mr. Nakajima Tani arrived before launching an attack.
"Kumamoto-kun, if you hadn't proposed to wait until Nakajima-dono arrived before launching the attack, could we have been reprimanded by Nakajima-dono like this? I think your Kumamoto brigade will start the attack on the Chinese below!" Miura Kagami
Ye said to Kumamoto Masao slightly angrily.
"Nani?" After hearing what Miura Kasyapa said, Kumamoto Masao stopped in surprise and stared at Miura Kasyapa. Then, after he realized what he was doing, anger immediately rushed to his forehead and he roared angrily: "Baga! Miura
Kasyapa, what do you mean? Do you want to put all the responsibilities on me? Baga!"
Miura Kasyapa did not expect that Kumamoto Masao not only did not accept his proposal, but instead cursed at him. This made Miura Kasyapa, who was already angry, even more like adding fuel to the fire. Miura Kasyapa moved up with his right hand.
Kumamoto Masao was holding the handle of his command sword tightly and glaring with anger in his eyes. If he had any disagreement, he would draw his sword.
Kumamoto Masao was equally irritated by Miura Kasyapa's actions. While glaring back at Miura Kasyapa, he also held the command sword hanging on his waist tightly.
The actions of Kasyapa Miura and Masao Kumamoto frightened the Japanese around them. The two captains rushed to them, hugged them tightly, and separated them.
After the unpleasant move, when they were preparing to attack, the issue of which of the two brigades came first and which came next caused them to conflict again. However, fortunately, at the suggestion of other Japanese officers, they reached an agreement, starting from both sides.
From different directions, they simultaneously launched an attack on the Iron Blood Brigade on the Nameless Mountain.
Within the first line of defense in Wuming Mountain, Li Tieshu was lying at the edge of a simple trench dug by the soldiers. From the sight glass, he saw that the Japanese reinforcements had no intention of joining the attack. The two Japanese troops that had previously intercepted and followed them,
It looked like they were going to attack from both directions at the same time.
After Li Tieshu put down his binoculars, he ordered the guards around him to call the First Battalion Commander Pang Jiancheng. Soon, the First Battalion Commander Pang Jiancheng rushed over, walked up to Li Tieshu and said: "Deputy Brigade Commander, are you looking for me?
"
"Well!" Li Tieshu nodded, pointed at the Japs at the foot of the mountain and said, "Jian Jiancheng, look at the Japs below, there are probably nearly two brigades of troops. Looking at their current formation, they may attack from the left and right sides at the same time.
They launched an attack on us. As brothers from our battalion, we are likely to be able to hold on for a long time."
Pang Jiancheng asked, raising his telescope and looking down the mountain. Thousands of meters away, two waves of Japanese soldiers were hundreds of meters apart, preparing to attack in the left and right directions. Looking at the two waves of black soldiers, they were overwhelming.
Devil, Pang Jiancheng couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart.
"Deputy Brigade Commander, it seems that the little devil is starting to understand the truth. We have more than 300 brothers in one battalion, so we probably have to be handed over here." After Pang Jiancheng put down his binoculars, he turned around and said to Li Tieshu.
Li Tieshu said with a smile: "What? Are you afraid? There are a lot of Japs, but we have a geographical advantage and it is not easy for them to attack us. Besides, there are brothers from the reconnaissance battalion led by Brigade behind us. As long as we
If we can hold on until Deputy Brigadier Liu and Deputy Brigadier Xiao withdraw, we can retreat. As long as we enter the Dabie Mountains, it will be impossible for the little Japs to catch up with us."
Pang Jiancheng nodded in agreement, but still said with some doubts: "However, although we have advantageous terrain, the disparity in strength between our enemies and ours is still too great. Moreover, although most of the weapons we use now are Japanese-style weapons
, but the little devil’s equipment is still beyond our comparison.”
Li Tieshu also nodded in agreement and said: "You are right, so we need to make some adjustments in tactics. We cannot put more than 300 brothers in one place to defend. The Japanese attack in two directions, so I think
To divide the brothers into
Two units will defend. You lead the second and third companies to take charge of the Japanese on the left, and I will lead the first company and the squad platoon directly under the battalion headquarters to take charge of the Japanese on the right. If, once the Japanese behind are reinforced, I will ask the brigade for reinforcements, or
Request to withdraw to the second line."
"Okay, I'll take the 2nd and 3rd companies over right now." After Pang Jiancheng finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Li Tieshu grabbed him and said to him: "Captain Pang, be careful, pay attention to safety, and try to avoid
The casualties of brothers." Pang Jiancheng nodded seriously, then turned and left.
After Kashyapa Miura and Masao Kumamoto gathered their troops, they began to attack the first line of defense on Wuming Mountain. Since all the mortars of the Kumamoto brigade had been knocked out by Xu Hu in the previous battle,
They can now only rely on machine guns and grenade launchers as their main heavy weapons for attacking tough targets.
The Miura Battalion was different. Before the Japanese soldiers charged, Miura Kasyapa first ordered his mortar squad to conduct a violent shelling of Pang Jiancheng's headquarters in front of them for nearly ten minutes.
When the Miura Brigade's mortars opened fire, Peng Dezhu did not order Xu Hu to fight back. The mortars were the only heavy weapons in his hand that could resist the enemy, and he had to use them at critical moments. If, he came up
If they were to use mortars to fight back, Nakajima Tanihiro, who was behind the Miura Battalion and Kumamoto Battalion, would definitely use more powerful mountain artillery and infantry artillery to destroy his mortars.
In the trench on the left side of the first line of defense, Pang Jiancheng squatted in a simple headquarters, watching the brothers of the Second and Third Companies outside bearing Japanese artillery fire.
"Boom!"
…
The entire position on the left was under Japanese artillery fire, and the undulating explosions flashed with fire, and what they took away may be the lives of one or several brothers. Looking at this, Pang Jiancheng felt angry at Peng Dezhu, why was it useless?
The mortars fired back, but it was his brothers who used their flesh and blood to resist the Japanese steel shells.
Although he didn't know how many times he scolded Peng Dezhu, Pang Jiancheng also knew in his heart that Peng Dezhu wanted to save the mortars for critical moments.
After enduring nearly ten minutes of artillery fire, the Japanese mortars finally shut up. The moment the artillery fire stopped, Pang Jiancheng picked up the shell gun in his hand and rushed out, shouting as he rushed toward the front: "Brother.
Let’s get into position and prepare to fight!”
Miura Kasyapa did not press the entire brigade up at once, but first sent out two squads to conduct a tentative attack on Pang Jiancheng's headquarters. Two squads, with more than a hundred Japanese soldiers lined up in skirmish lines, slowly
Head up the mountain.
Due to their commanding position, Pang Jiancheng's troops could actually fire when the Japanese entered 200 meters away. However, in order to achieve the maximum effect of killing the enemy, Pang Jiancheng did not issue an order to fire in advance.
Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters...
Pang Jiancheng silently thought about the distance of the Japs. When the Japs entered fifty meters, Pang Jiancheng had not yet given the order to fire. However, the young Jaap second lieutenant who was leading the team on the opposite side first ordered his men to raise their guns and fire.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Ta! Ta! Ta!"
"boom……!"
The little Japanese who was the first to open fire came up and took out all the light and heavy weapons. Light machine guns, grenade launchers, Type 38 rifles, bullets and grenades flew towards Pang Jiancheng and the soldiers.
However, Pang Jiancheng did not immediately give the order to fire. A soldier next to him was hit in the abdomen by a stray bullet, and the soldiers next to him asked him to fire. However, Pang Jiancheng seemed not to hear or see anything.
On the simple trench, I raised my ears and listened carefully to the footsteps outside. When I heard the soldier's request, I only said two words: "Hide it!" Then, I put the shell gun in my hand on fire.
Forty-five meters, forty meters...
When Pang Jiancheng felt that the Japanese were approaching thirty meters away, he shouted: "Hit!" Then he turned around and threw himself at the edge of the trench, raised his gun and opened fire on the Japanese.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As Pang Jiancheng gave the order, the soldiers immediately turned around and threw themselves on the trenches, shooting at the Japanese from a high position. Pang Jiancheng fired two bullets, aimed at a Japanese, and shouted at the same time: "Everyone in the third company, grenades."
Hello, the second company continues shooting!"
"Rumble...!"
As the soldiers of the Third Company, according to Pang Jiancheng's order, threw out dozens of hand grenades, the two teams of Japs who rushed upward were immediately blown up so much that they could not even lift their heads.
Miura Kasyapa at the foot of the mountain held up his telescope and after seeing clearly the firepower point on the mountain, he immediately ordered the flag soldiers to pass the order and ordered the two teams to withdraw.
