"Boom...chirp...boom!" The trio of mortars started again!

Guo Kunping was lying on the trench with a telescope and observing! As the shells landed and exploded, he shouted: "The landing point of the second squadron was 25 meters to the left; the first squadron hit the target!"

The two gunners of the second squad immediately began to adjust the firing direction.

The first squadron's mortars continued the bombardment. Three rounds were fired rapidly, for a very short period of time, only about six or seven seconds.

The first group of soldiers immediately began to disassemble the mortar, and quickly rushed into the tunnel holding the barrel, gun frame and chassis.

After adjusting the firing direction, the second squad fired three more rapid fire rounds. The soldiers were about to dismantle the mortar.

At this time, the Japanese infantry artillery stationed at the entrance of the village began to shell the position.

"boom!"

A test shell landed on the ridge and exploded.

Guo Kunping remembered Yu Zecheng's instructions and shouted: "Don't worry about the cannons and rush into the tunnel immediately."

The soldiers would never abandon their mortars. Once there are no more cannons, their mission will be over. How can they go back and not be laughed to death by other soldiers?

The soldiers stopped dismantling the mortar. The three of them collectively carried the chassis and rushed into the tunnel.

Another artillery team was about to abandon the cannon and rush into the tunnel. When they saw others carrying the cannon, they turned back and rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel carrying the mortar.

"boom!"

A shell landed more than ten meters away and exploded.

The shock wave of the explosion roared and knocked the three soldiers carrying the mortar to the ground.

Guo Kunping was at the entrance of the tunnel at this moment. He shouted: "Get up quickly, forget about the cannon, and rush in!"

At this time, the three soldiers did not dare to lift the cannon anymore, and immediately rushed into the tunnel rolling and crawling.

Guo Kunping immediately pulled them into the depths of the tunnel and asked, "Are you injured?"

The three of them stood and patted their bodies everywhere and said, "No!"

Guo Kunping breathed a sigh of relief. He said: "We must strictly implement orders from now on!"

"Yes!" The gun commander was the second squad leader. He hesitated and said, "Company commander, we are not going in. When the bombardment is over, we have to rush out to see our own guns."

Guo Kunping understood the soldiers' psychology and warned: "You must not go out until the Japanese bombardment is over. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

The Third Battalion of the Japanese 23rd Regiment arrived. The attack mission of the Japanese Third Battalion was assigned to the 58th Division.

It had only been a few hours since the entire 58th Division was in place, and there was no time to dig trenches. They could only dig some foxholes and set up machine gun positions.

When the Japanese came this time, they were well prepared and brought a mountain artillery brigade with nine 75-gun cannons.

In addition, the Third Battalion also had four infantry guns and four August 1st mortars. In this way, the Japanese had concentrated seventeen artillery pieces.

When the Third Brigade contacted the Second Brigade, it learned that the Chinese army on the opposite side was very strong. Therefore, the first bombardment lasted for half an hour.

The 58th Division deployed two regiments with about 5,000 men on the position. In front of the shelling, there was a battalion with more than 500 men. These men had no way to hide or escape, so they suffered heavy casualties.

!

After the Japanese bombardment ended, a squadron began to charge as a whole. There was no probing attack at all.

These Japs were well-trained, especially in infantry and artillery coordination, and were very experienced. During the shelling, they slowly moved to a distance of about 150 meters in front of the position and lurked.

The smoke was still filling the position, and the Japanese rushed within 50 meters in front of the position. It was almost exactly the same as the 100th Special Operations Brigade.

By the time the Guojun could see the Japs, the Japs had already rushed within thirty meters.

At this time, the Guojun soldiers and the Japanese opened fire almost at the same time.

However, the marksmanship of the Guo Army soldiers was still not comparable to that of the Japanese. Therefore, the casualty rate of the Guo Army suddenly increased.

With no other choice, Zhang Lingfu had no choice but to order the bugler to blow the charge horn.

The soldiers rushed forward and the two sides began to fight hand-to-hand!

This area belongs to the defense area of ​​the 1st Battalion of the 172nd Regiment. The 1st Battalion originally had more than 500 people. During the Japanese bombardment, more than 100 people were injured or killed. After the Japanese rushed up, dozens more people were killed or injured in the gun battle.

In this way, more than 300 soldiers fought against nearly 200 Japanese.

Soldiers from other battalions wanted to rush over to support, but by this time the smoke had cleared. The Japanese set up heavy machine gun positions below and fired at the Guojun positions on both sides, preventing other Guojun troops from coming to support.

The Japs below saw that a breakthrough had been opened, and immediately sent another squadron of Japs to charge forward.

In this way, the pot army and the Japanese were engaged in a bloody battle on the top of the mountain!

When Zhang Lingfu saw this scene, he immediately rushed over with a battalion of reserve troops and fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese!

"Papa...papa!" Zhang Lingfu fired repeatedly and knocked down the two Japanese.

When the Japanese saw more and more pot troops coming, they retreated.

Although the enemy was repulsed in this battle, the 58th Division lost one battalion! It can be said that the casualties were heavy!

Cai Renjie also rushed over. Seeing the heavy casualties among the soldiers, he shook his head desperately!

Zhang Lingfu was slumped on the ground at this moment, feeling very tired!

Suddenly, Cai Renjie saw black gun muzzles in the distance. He shouted: "Lie down! Fall down quickly! Enter the bunker!"

"Da da da... da da da..."

The Japanese heavy machine guns began to wreak havoc. Another group of pot army soldiers fell.

Zhang Lingfu crawled and jumped into a bunker. He gasped for breath. He was very unwilling in his heart: "How can it be so easy for a brigade to wipe out a squadron of the enemy? But we only wiped out half a squadron of Japanese soldiers and suffered heavy casualties."

Where is it?'

Cai Renjie came over and said: "Commander Zhang, the Japanese may be about to launch an artillery attack. You'd better go back to the division headquarters!"

This Cai Renjie couldn't speak. If he had said, "Mr. Zhang, there are still many things waiting for you to deal with at the division headquarters, please go back to the division headquarters quickly!" Maybe Zhang Lingfu would have gone back.

When he heard that there was going to be an artillery attack, would Zhang Lingfu desert in front of so many soldiers? He shook his head and said, "You go back to the division headquarters to deal with it. I'll stay here to repel the next Japanese attack."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, as soon as Cai Renjie left, the Japanese started shelling...

Yu Zecheng is more concerned about the war next door than Zhang Lingfu! He knows that once the Japanese break through the 58th Division's position, he will be attacked from both sides. By then, even if he retreats, he will cause heavy casualties!

Seeing the pot army fighting hand-to-hand with the Japanese, Yu Zecheng shook his head helplessly. He subconsciously said: "You haven't eaten a big pork, and you haven't seen a big pig run? Why are you fighting the Japanese face to face?"

Wang Qiangun was next to Yu Zecheng at this time. He said: "The Guo army is not good at fortifications and its marksmanship is not good either. We are lucky to be able to repel the Japanese."

Yu Zecheng said: "Why doesn't Guo always sum up?"

In fact, he knew the reason. This was also the reason why the 8 million Chinese cauldron army could not defeat the more than 1 million Communist army during the Liberation War. But he still couldn't help but ask such a question.

Wang Qiangun didn't know how to answer, so he no longer cared about this topic. He was thinking about the next step and asked: "Boss, are you ready to go over and provide support?"

Yu Zecheng shook his head and said, "No need! The 58th Division still has reserve troops!"

Wang Qiangun asked again: "Do we want our troops to be ready to evacuate?"

Yu Zecheng thought that in history, the 58th Division did fight with the Japanese here, resulting in heavy casualties! But it still held the line of defense that day.

He said: "We cannot notify you yet, otherwise it will cause ideological confusion in the troops."

After a while, Yu Zecheng saw that Qian Ping seemed to be listening to something. He listened carefully, and he really didn't hear anything except that the Japanese started shelling.

He asked: "Ping'er, what are you listening to?"

"There is the sound of mosquitoes in the sky." Qian Ping answered, still carefully distinguishing the sound.
