Soon, a dull shelling sounded at the mortar position behind the ridge. In less than a few seconds, a string of shells hit the Japanese position and exploded.

The Japanese army here deserves to be the elite who experienced the bloody battle of Lushun. After being bombarded, they did not run around, but instead lay in the simple trenches to avoid shells.

However, they did not expect that the Liaodong military did not use mountain cannons and field cannons, but mortars that could directly penetrate their trenches.

Although the Japanese army quickly reacted from the shock brought to them by the shelling and lay in simple trenches. Mortar shells falling from the sky continued to throw them high from the trenches.

In less than half a minute, the Japanese position was covered with a very strong layer of smoke, and he could not see his five fingers.

As the artillery shells continued, the smoke that enveloped the Japanese army's heads not only became increasingly intense, but the fragments of artillery shells flying everywhere around also became increasingly dense.

If you are not careful, these fragments may have killed the Japanese army.

In this case, they could only lie in an insecure trench with their heads in their hands, and pray to God that the shells that kept falling from the sky should not fall to their side.

This is, Liang Yu, who was hiding behind the ridge, decisively issued an offensive order.

In addition to nine heavy machine guns and machine gunners who were left on the ridge, they stared at the Japanese positions underneath that were covered by artillery fire, providing fire cover to the offensive troops at any time.

The remaining riflemen and light machine gunners rushed to the underside of the ridge.

In more than a minute, a group of more than a thousand people carrying rifles and light machine guns rushed to the front of the Japanese army a hundred meters.

At this time, the Japanese army, who continued to be covered by artillery fire and could not even lift their heads from the trenches, did not find that the Liaodong army had rushed to them.

Liang Yu was holding a pistol in his hand and attacking with the main force.

As his eyes lit up, he immediately ordered the troops to continue rushing to the Japanese positions and prepare grenades.

When the troops rushed to sixty or seventy meters, the Japanese army finally saw the Liaodong army that was close to each other through the smoke.

The soldier immediately reminded his comrades and officers around him, then picked up his rifle and stood up from the trenches, wanting to fight back.

However, he had just put a bullet on the rifle in his hand, and a shell left less than five meters away from him and exploded.

A fragment of cannonballs flying at high speed easily pierced into the soldier's back, and a bloody hole was pierced on his back.

The first Japanese army to discover the Liaodong Army, with despair and unwillingness, let go of the rifle in her hand, and collapsed in the trenches with weakness, life and death unknown.

The other Japanese troops who were reminded were scared back as soon as they were about to expose their bodies from the trenches to counterattack. Facing the bloody corpses in front of them, they were pressed into the trenches by artillery fire, they could only lean on the trenches, raise their rifles, point the muzzle at the direction of the Liaodong Army, and do not aim at them, and shoot bullets very blindly.

As time passed little by little, the counterattack gunshots on the Japanese positions became increasingly dense, and even machine gun strafing sounds appeared.

However, under the baptism of the artillery shells falling overhead, the Japanese army's shooting was not accurate, and because the counterattack had to half-squat up from the trenches, the casualties of the troops in the artillery were increasing.

"Brothers, hurry up, I'm going to rush forward. We're all ready to use the grenades to greet the Japanese in front of us." Seeing that the troops had already started to suffer casualties, Liang Yu immediately urged.

Under the cover of twenty mortars behind them, even though the Japanese army stared at the artillery fire and counterattacked, they still failed to block the Liaodong Army's offensive pace.

After paying more than 100 casualties in a row, the group finally rushed to the front thirty or forty meters.

At this time, the violent explosions kept ringing in the Japanese positions just stopped.

Liang Yu, who knew that he had not had much time, immediately ordered his subordinates to throw grenades.

Compared with dozens of artillery shells, there were thousands of grenades flying overwhelmingly towards the Japanese positions. Some exploded after landing, and some exploded in the air. The dense grenade fragments covered the entire Japanese positions without blind spots.

Because of no preparation, in the blink of an eye, the six or seven hundred Japanese troops slipped away from the position and fell into the brief and dense grenade explosion just now.

The first round of grenade explosion had not stopped yet, and the second round of grenades had been over 1,000, and the second round of grenades came to the Japanese heads again.

A group of more than a thousand riflesmen threw three rounds of grenades before stopping.

Then, regardless of the explosion on the Japanese position, he rushed to the Japanese position with a bayonet.

The Japanese army in a regiment had a total force of nearly 3,500 people.

The first twenty mortars were bombarded for two minutes. Even if the Japanese army hid in the trenches, seven or eight hundred shells were shot, and the blind cat hit the rat and killed the rat, it would kill and injure nearly a thousand Japanese troops.

After the shelling ended, more than 4,000 grenades were used in three consecutive rounds. Even if two grenades killed and injured a Japanese army, more than 2,000 Japanese troops would have lost their lives.

Therefore, when a group of Japanese troops carrying a bayonet-mounted rifle, rushing toward the Japanese army that was close to the corner, there were less than 400 Japanese troops on the entire position.

More importantly, less than 400 Japanese troops were completely bombarded in several rounds of explosions.

Before he could react at all, or even react from the shock, the dense fired thirty light machine guns covered his position.

Then the Liaodong army, carrying rifles and bayonets, rushed to the position.

When I saw the Japanese army that could still move, no matter how many years he was, he would have a bullet coming up.

Of course, there were also Japanese troops who responded quickly to counterattack. However, they often fired a bullet to counterattack, and immediately summoned dozens or even hundreds of bullets to retaliate.

Soon, all the remaining Japanese troops on the battlefield were destroyed.

Although the first group lost another one or two hundred people for this, the regiment commander Liang Yu was heartbroken and in a very good mood.

He destroyed a Japanese army's replenishment corps with less than one battalion, and it was an attack. In the past, Liang Yu dared not think about such a result. But now, this result happened in front of him. Can he not be happy?

Seeing the special forces members who rushed over and carried mortars and shells on their shoulders, Liang Yu was happy and quickly met them.

"Captain Wang, it is all due to your special operations squadron and these mortars that can win a Japanese army. According to the order, I will continue to attack. I wonder if my brothers still have the energy to keep up!"

"No problem, I just need Commander Liang to draw the baggage company to help us transport shells. The mortar is powerful, but it consumes too much shells. Just a few minutes ago, seven or eight hundred shells were fired out."
