Chapter 263: Instruction, I'll fight

A tentative attack by the two teams of Japanese devils also caused them to lose more than a dozen people. After retreating, Miura Kashyapa saw the casualties and did not dare to underestimate Pang Jiancheng on the mountain. First, he ordered the mortar team to shell out the firepower points of several heavy machine guns of the defenders to destroy their important firepower. At the same time, he ordered the first and second squadrons of Japanese devils to be divided into left and right sides, and to advance to the mountain in a scattered line.

The Second Company and the Third Company had a total of two Type 92 heavy machine guns and four Type 92 light machine guns. Pang Jiancheng divided them into three groups and arranged them on the defense line. However, because Pang Jiancheng did not have the professionalism of making these firepower points in time, the mortar of the Miura Brigade successfully vented the shells on several firepower points, causing Pang Jiancheng's troops to lose their only heavy weapons.

Several machine gunners and their machine guns were blown to pieces. After seeing this, Pang Jiancheng raised his hand and slapped himself hard, "Damn! Too careless!"

After squeezing himself a few times, Pang Jiancheng shouted to the soldiers: "Be careful to avoid and be careful of the Japanese artillery fire!"

The artillery fire destroyed several important firepower points of the defenders. The Japanese in the first and second squadrons of the Miura Brigade, led by their officers, began to press towards the defense line on the mountain.

Without the light and heavy machine guns, Pang Jiancheng did not dare to put the Japanese in too close this time. When the Japanese entered the range, he issued an order to open fire. With the tentative attacks of the two teams of Japanese in front, the Japanese in the two squadrons also learned to be smart this time. While attacking the mountain, he consciously began to look for cover to shoot.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers from Pang Jiancheng's troops and the two squadrons actually launched several machine guns, and they were all the same in other aspects. When the Japanese started using grenade launchers, Pang Jiancheng also ordered his grenade launchers to shoot against the Japanese, and at the same time, the focus was on taking care of the Japanese machine gunners. For a moment, gunfire was endless on the battlefield on the left.

On the right side of the first line of defense, there was another scene. Masao Kumamoto, who had lost his mortar, was as cautious as he had no artillery fire, but because he could attack with his soldiers.

Therefore, when the first attack was launched, Masao Kumamoto suppressed all the troops of the Kumamoto brigade without reservation. Li Tieshu would not ask Peng Dezhu to provide mortar support, so both sides came up with light and heavy machine guns and grenades, and grenades as the main weapon for combat.

In terms of overall equipment, Kumamoto's weapons still have the advantage, so Li Tieshu's troops could hardly suppress the firepower output of the entire Kumamoto's troops. Although there were no mortars, Kumamoto's troops had only more than twenty grenade launchers, which were scattered among the infantry and threw them at Li Tieshu's troops.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

...

More than twenty grenade launchers flew into the position from the Japanese straggler line. Li Tieshu shouted: "Be careful to hide!" Then, he rushed to the crater beside him.

"boom!"

A grenade landed on the ground and exploded more than one meter between the two soldiers. With the explosion, the warrior's body was blown up by the explosion.

"ah……!"

The tragic shouts resounded in Li Tieshu's ears, and the Japanese grenade launcher had to be knocked out. After the explosion, Li Tieshu raised his head and shouted a company commander, ordering him to disperse all the soldiers with accurate marksmanship and let them specifically deal with Japanese grenade launcher soldiers.

In the previous battle, Kumamoto's brigade had lost about two squads of troops, so in terms of military strength, they were still inferior to Miura's brigade. However, even a brigade that was not satisfied with the Iron Blood Brigade Warriors led by Li Tieshu did not gain the upper hand after the battle.

Just when Li Tieshu and the others couldn't hold on, Peng Dezhu arranged a squad of reconnaissance battalion soldiers to reinforce. All the reconnaissance battalion soldiers were skilled in the reconnaissance battalion and had potential sniper skills. When these soldiers came up, the grenade launchers and machine gunners of Kumamoto's brigade were immediately hit by their key attacks and were quickly suppressed.

Neither the grenade launcher nor the machine gunners played the role they deserved, and the attack of Kumamoto's brigade was blocked dozens of meters in front of the position. Although, under the strict order of Kumamoto Masao, the three Japanese squadron leaders held up the command knife and forced their Japanese to rush up the mountain, they could not break through the fire defense line of Li Tieshu's troops.

Both charges of the soldiers were beaten back. The two Japanese squadron leaders did not want their subordinates to consume them like this, so they stopped attacking. Before they could report to Masao Kumamoto, they saw that Masao Kumamoto, who had retreated from the Japanese, rushed over under the guards.

"Baga!" Kumamoto Masao rushed up angrily, and handed over the two slaps he had just received from Koro Nakajimaya to his two squadron captains. He tightly held his slightly numb palms. Masao Kumamoto looked at the five finger marks on the faces of his subordinates, and his anger seemed to have dropped a little, but he still pretended to be angry and said, "Why withdraw, order the soldiers to continue attacking immediately!"

The captain of the first squadron, arched his waist and said to Masao Kumamoto: "Hiss Kumamoto, the firepower of the Chinese people is very strong, and our grenade launchers and machine gunners are suppressed by the Chinese people's sharpshooters. If you just attack like this, the losses will be very large. I suggest that you ask Nakajima to provide artillery fire support!"

"Baga!" As soon as the captain finished speaking, Masao Kumamoto waved his arm again, left five finger marks on his other half face, and then roared at the captain: "Do you want that bastard Miura to see my joke? Without artillery fire, can't you even win the Chinese? Baga! I order you to attack immediately!"

"Hayi!"

He was slapped again, and the first squadron leader dared not have any meaning, and the second squadron leader would not give him any bad luck. Both of them bowed to receive orders, and then turned around and commanded their subordinates to start attacking. The troops led by Li Tieshu began to fight with the Japanese in Kumamoto's brigade again.

Peng Dezhu was on the second line of defense on the mountainside and was always paying attention to the battle between Li Tieshu and Pang Jiancheng. Peng Dezhu knew very well that Li Tieshu and the others could not hold on for long. However, before Liu Wenxue and Xiao Houhai's troops entered the deep mountains, even if they fought to the last one, they had to persist and must buy time for most of the brothers.

The battle between Pang Jiancheng's troops and Miura brigade has changed. After a bombardment of the mortars of Miura brigade, it caused great losses to Pang Jiancheng and others. Now the forces of the two companies have lost at least one more row of soldiers. However, the offensive of the Japanese has only increased and not decreased.

Due to the terrain, the Japanese attack was not very smooth. Miura Kashya, while the attacking Japanese were still shooting at close range with Pang Jiancheng's troops, he actually issued an order for artillery to attack again. Although the shelling did not last long, it gave the Japanese a chance to rush into Pang Jiancheng's positions.

After the artillery bombardment, nearly twenty Japanese attackers attacked the Japanese, who were nearly 20 Japanese attacks before the artillery fire stopped. At a critical moment, Pang Jiancheng led a company of soldiers from platoons to engage in hand-to-hand combat with these Japanese.

In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, more than 20 Japanese soldiers who rushed into the position were wiped out by Pang Jiancheng and others and then retreated. However, there were only six soldiers in a platoon. One of the battalions commanders Pang Jiancheng was stabbed in the abdomen by the Japanese bayonet. Although it was not fatal for the time being, they also lost the ability to command.

Seeing the Japanese rushing into Pang Jiancheng's position, Peng Dezhu ordered Liu Zichao, the battalion commander of the guard battalion who had been following him, to lead a platoon of guard soldiers to reinforce. Pang Jiancheng was injured. After Liu Zichao arrived on the position, he took over Pang Jiancheng's command without hesitation and commanded him to continue fighting with the Mipu brigade.

Pang Jiancheng, seriously injured, was unable to withdraw in time. Although he killed the Japanese who were attacking the positions, the Japanese attack did not stop. After sacrificing nearly a platoon of brothers, the gap that was broken by the Japanese was finally blocked. When Liu Zichao ordered the soldiers to send Pang Jiancheng to the second line of defense, Pang Jiancheng refused.

Pang Jiancheng covered his wound with his hand and moved it hard. The movement of the movement touched the wound, which changed the expression on his face. He groaned and said to Liu Zichao: "Captain Liu, thank you for your kindness. However, I will not withdraw. Haha, in fact, you and I know that the reason why the brigade stayed to command the battle personally means that this blockade is not that simple. Even if he retreated to the second line of defense, no one can tell the final result..."

Speaking of this, Pang Jiancheng signaled to the soldiers beside him and asked them to walk away. Then, he pulled Liu Zichao closer and said to him in a low voice: "Brother Liu, you know that if you want to get rid of the Japanese, the brothers of the first battalion will probably have to explain it here today. Brother, I will get rid of your affairs. If you really can't hold on, you must take the brothers from the guard camp to escort the brigade and Deputy Li to break out. Our Iron Blood Brigade cannot be without them."

"Battleman Pang..."

Pang Jiancheng raised his hand to interrupt Liu Zichao and continued with a smile: "Brother, I was just a small battalion commander of the security team. I have the honor of being able to do a battle with the brigade in this life. Brother, I will die without regrets. Brother Liu, don't say anything, remember what I said!"

Just as Pang Jiancheng and Liu Zichao were talking to each other, the Japanese were about to attack the position again. Pang Jiancheng pushed Liu Zichao away and shouted to the injured soldiers beside him: "Brothers! Fight with the Japanese!" As he said that, he pulled away the two grenades on his body, turned over and rolled out of the position, and rolled towards the attacking Japanese.

"Fight!"

With Pang Jiancheng's actions, the injured soldiers of the first battalion, 2nd and 3rd companies, rolled towards the Japanese in the same way.
