At this point, in a small highland attack battle in the Four Lines Regiment, an infantry squadron of the 62nd Infantry Regiment had suffered more than 50% of the battle losses!

In any battle, this is already a very tragic failure.

But this is not the end.

Compared with the Death Squad that was wandering on the edge of the artillery fire, the main force of the Japanese infantry squadron, about 150 meters away from the position, was lying on the ground and praying for the great master Amaterasu to appear, so that the artillery guns would be more accurate and not fall on their heads.

But obviously, the divine light of the great god Amaterasu who had been calling for a long time did not take care of these poor little people.

Artillery in this era did not have laser guidance and had no ability to accurately capture shells to meters.

There were no less than 6 shells shot from the four mountain cannons that had been continuously bombarded for ten minutes. At least 20 people were bombarded by their own shells and flew all over the sky.

The casualty rate of the infantry squadron actually reached an astonishing 60%. If it were replaced by the Western battlefield, it would have collapsed two or three times.

Is the Japanese commander crazy? Li Jiujin, the company commander of the 7th Company who received a call from the Sharp Knife Platoon to report, was covered with dark clouds!

Of course, this is not the most terrifying artillery attack this veteran has ever encountered. It is ten times more crazy than this. Last year, on the battlefield of Songhu, the Japanese army used a 203-caliber naval gun. After that shot, even if they were hiding in the trenches, an infantry platoon was instantly destroyed. The fear of destroying the world, if they didn't want to go home to see the wife get her baby, Li Jiujin, who had always been optimistic, could not support it.

However, this was definitely the first time he encountered him. In the first battle, when neither side had his final trump card and had not yet begun the decisive battle, the Japanese commander attacked with this desperate gambling method of dying together with the enemy.

Li Jiujin's eyes narrowed!

It was this madness that made him smell a little crisis!

First of all, those who dare to issue such military orders will definitely not have a small official position, otherwise they may not be able to withstand the accusations they received after the war; a small high ground where the army is only a garrison and an infantry squad is actually a senior officer who is at least at the level of the magistrate or even above is personally directed, which itself shows some problems.

Secondly, what is hidden under this crazy military order is the hard work, because the Japanese army has an absolute advantage and people are used to exchange, even if it is two for one or three for one, the defenders will definitely suffer in the end!

Because, Tang Tuanzu said that in the eyes of Japanese noble officers, there is no concept of loving soldiers like a son. Just like the famous so-called Japanese military god Nogi Hinomi, he used the lives of 60,000 Japanese troops to lay a bloody ladder to climb the sky!

Moreover, when the Japanese army was suppressed at the forefront of the position, they could be beaten by the mortar hidden by the Sihang Group at any time. The fate of these Japanese troops was destined to be sacrificed. The unknown Japanese commander directly chose the "If you don't let me die, then I won't let you live well" as a vicious seven-injury punch that hurts others and yourself.

With this move alone, the opponent is an extremely difficult opponent.

However, the ambitions of this cruel Japanese commander were too deep.

At this moment, he was still thinking about attacking the position. When he heard the platoon leader of his sharp knife that the Japanese army in front of the position was lying on the shore, letting his shells lift him up high but still not retreating, a trace of coldness flashed in Li Jiujin's eyes!

The Japanese take themselves too seriously. Is it great to have mountain cannons? There are mountain cannons, four-line group.

"The power generation requested the artillery battalion to carry out retaliatory artillery bombardment on the Japanese army 300 meters to 1200 meters in front of the 209.1 high ground. He told me that he owed me three drinks of wine, and I was spared. I wanted to marry my old Li family. I also agreed. The bride price is guaranteed to be from his old Pang family!

In addition, I passed my order and the company's guard squad reinforced the 209.1 Highlands and asked them to bring a MG34 heavy machine gun firepower team. The other mortar squads of each platoon will receive a signal flare for fire support from the 209.1 Highlands and will provide me with support at any cost. If the shells are exhausted, I will go to the battalion commander, the director of the village, and the regiment commander to approve it.

Damn, since the Japanese want to play exchanges so much, let them do it! I, Li Jiujin, don’t believe this evil today!" Li Jiujin threw off his helmet and ordered resolutely.

Li Jiujin, who had rich experience in the battlefield, keenly realized through the crazy artillery bombardment of Hengshanze that the Japanese army on the opposite side planned to use the 209.1 high ground as a breakthrough point and then form a battle pattern with point-breaking surfaces. Therefore, he immediately sent out his direct security squad with the strongest combat power under his command, which could be regarded as indirectly taking out his strongest trump card.

A sharp knife platoon infantry squad, a guard squad, a valuable MG34 heavy machine gun firepower team plus nine 60mm mortars in the entire company spared no effort to support it, and it also has relatively solid fortifications to support it.

In addition, there are 12 unused mountain cannon companies that have not been used to support the fire barrier formed in the 500-meter area in front of the position.

Even if the Japanese army sent two infantry squadrons to attack, Li Jiujin, as the company commander, was not very worried. He planned to turn this place into a flesh-and-blood mill, grinding the flesh of the Japanese army and bleeding the Japanese army.

Even after the war, no one criticized Li Jiujin's tactical plan at all. This is already the best tactic made by Li Jiujin based on the current battlefield situation.

What's more, in front of the high grounds to which his infantry company belonged, there were nearly 1,500 Japanese troops attacking a brigade of one and a half infantry, with a nearly 5-1 troop comparison!

But everyone underestimated how crazy Yokoyamaze would be!

When Pang Dahai received a request for artillery fire support from Li Jiujin over the regiment headquarters, he first laughed and scolded: "Old Li is so damn, this is openly bribing me." Then he immediately sent a telephone call to the regiment headquarters and Tang Dao to request instructions respectively.

Li Jiujin was so angry that several commanders would not blame him, but if he fired an artillery without asking for instructions, he would expose the strength of the regiment artillery. Not to mention that Director Ye, who was in charge of the regiment headquarters, would write a note to him, I am afraid that the regiment commander would not forgive him.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! You can usually play small circles and hills in private, but during the war, the whole army plays chess and everything must be followed by actions and commands. Even if he, the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion and the commander of the mountain artillery company, is unbearable to join the war, he must not be because of his personal relationship.

Of course, the reason why the veteran Youzi dared to be so upright in the telegram was that he knew that he must ask for instructions from the superiors. This "bribe" was just to hope that he, the old brother, would help him contact the regiment commander to report the emergency situation in the flanking highlands.

As for why he didn't ask Leng Feng directly for instructions and contact the regiment headquarters, it was naturally the situation of the war was urgent and the intermediate links were reduced. Leng Feng would definitely report it before the artillery support arrived!

With his strong enough comrade-in-arms relationship with battalion commander Leng Feng, he believed Leng Feng would understand!

This is Li Jiujin. If any other company commander is not going to choose to bypass two immediate bosses, that is an absolute taboo in the army!

This is the wisdom of survival on the battlefield of veterans. It is the best way to use personal relationships, but it is definitely the best way to obtain large-caliber artillery support in the shortest time.

At least it will make the arrival of artillery support five minutes earlier!

The battlefield situation changes rapidly, not to mention 5 minutes or 50 seconds, it may change the battlefield situation.

"What kind of Japanese army asked Li Jiujin to take this risk?" Ye Chenghuan was slightly stunned when he received the call from the artillery battalion.

Although Li Jiujin is usually a little tired, through the past few months of contact with Lao Li, especially the battle to annihilate the Second Mixed Brigade, Ye Chenghuan knew that under Li Jiujin's appearance, there was a tenacity and wisdom that ordinary people did not possess.

The nine infantry company commanders selected by the Tang regiment have their own personalities and characteristics. There is the taciturn Zhao Daqiang, the young and energetic Qian Dazhu, and the brave Cai Yongguan with a bandit temperament...

Among the nine infantry company commanders, only the veterans are famous for their exhausted temperament. But what is miraculous is that none of the entire regiment’s school-level officers think he is incompetent!

What is this? This is great wisdom, this is ability!

"Order the mountain cannon company's firepower to support the front line, and the other 4 are on standby!" Ye Chenghuan ordered without hesitation and directly.

Although Ye Chenghuan was the director of the Political Department, his battlefield experience can be traced back to 8 years ago, from a soldier to a commander who commanded thousands of troops, his combat experience was even worse than that of Tang Dao.

Although the information reported by Li Jiujin was not very clear, he was very sensitive to the Japanese army's expectations for breakthroughs on the flank high ground.

If he guessed correctly, in a few minutes, the rate of fire of the Japanese artillery fire would gradually decrease, and the Japanese army, who were still lying on the frontier, would charge towards the high ground by suppressing artillery fire.

Li Jiujin requested that the Japanese army gather artillery bombardment in front of and behind the position would be very likely to give the Japanese army a heavy blow!

What are you doing to hide the Bofos cannon? Isn’t it just waiting for the Japanese army to concentrate enough to make them covered in blood in one fell swoop!

This means that the 12 150 heavy mortars are placed on the main battlefield, and their range is only 3,000 meters, otherwise it would definitely be good-looking for these Japanese devils.

In the anti-cannon hole, Tu Yunsheng, who had already smoked two cigarettes leisurely, listened to the movement outside, and dusted the ashes on his head and shoulders, "Brothers, check the guns and prepare to enter the position."

"But, squad leader, the Japanese cannons have not stopped yet!" said a new recruit who had just joined the army less than three months ago.

Only those who have truly experienced artillery bombardment understand that not to mention staying on a trench position, even staying in an anti-cannon hole with logs as the top and logs as the bones, it is shaking and worrying.

"Silly! When the cannon stops, the Japanese should have touched it. You want to fight with them, right? Just these few of us are not enough for the Japanese to swallow it in one bite." The young squad leader rolled his eyes and cursed the recruits speechless.

"Brothers have all remembered it for me. As soon as the whistle sounds, I will go to the position. Remember to shoot bullets in empty guns at the Japanese. No matter what the correct head is, I will hide for me. As long as I say run, I will go back to the anti-cannon hole immediately." The young sergeant squad leader threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it out with his feet.

"Squad leader, I heard from the company commander that killing a Japanese devil is two big pieces! You have to record it for me! My son has to rely on this to marry a wife." A veteran smiled with saliva.

"I said to Brother Tao, your wife is still at her mother-in-law's house! Why did you think about getting a baby in advance? Isn't it a bit too early?" A soldier in his early 20s made fun of him, who was two years older than him, and was actually a bachelor.

"Boll ball, when I was in my hometown, the fortune teller calculated it for me. I said I had a son, so why did I prepare in advance? Don't be too busy laughing at me. I saw that the beautiful girl from the landlord's house we blocked a while ago seemed to like you very much. Your child should worry about your bride price quickly!" the veteran responded.

"Brother Tao, it's not okay to talk nonsense. Sister Yun is very thin-skinned. If it is reported, it's time to let others not be a human being." The young soldier's originally dark face turned red in an instant, and he hurriedly explained.

Seeing this, the soldiers who had lived in the landlord for more than ten days all smiled.

That was when the Sixing Group first arrived at Dakouzi Cave. Because there were not enough field tents, many companies rented houses in their fellow villagers' houses and gave rent.

Later, although I had my own barracks, when I was on holiday, soldiers who had a deep relationship with the landlord would go to the landlord's house to help with farm work, which was also advocated by the regiment headquarters.

Yun Ni'er, who is at the landlord's house, is eighteen years old. She is very young but she is extremely shy. The soldiers are basically older than her and have always regarded her as a younger sister. Moreover, the four-way regiment is also disciplined. It is okay to fall in love and get married. That will require at least two years of military experience and the rank of sergeant or above!

The young soldier named Ma and nicknamed Ma is now a top-class soldier, and is still two levels away from the sergeant. He was teased by his comrades and was busy explaining to the girl, but he didn't even think about defending himself. He was completely out of his mind.

"Okay, don't be nonsense. If you want a bonus, you have to save your life to collect it first. Why is Lao Zhou missing? Don't you know?

You all give me some cleverness, don't stay in a battle position for too long, save your life for me. If I guess well, since the Japanese commander does not take their lives like this, there will definitely be another time." The young sergeant frowned and reminded the soldiers beside him.

When it comes to Lao Zhou, the machine gun shooter who died because of grenades, the anti-cannon hole became quiet.

On the battlefield, no matter how careful you are, you may be able to avoid bullets, but when it comes to grenades and shells, you can only leave them to fate.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't have the upper hand, follow me to finish the battle, I'll invite everyone to eat hot pot." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, the young sergeant grinned and tried hard to make the atmosphere relaxed.

At this moment, a sharp iron whistle sounded as the dull shells roared.

That was the sound of Boss Cao, who took the initiative to stay in the front-line trenches, which showed that the Japanese infantry was really coming.

"Let's go!" The young sergeant lifted his gun neatly, drilled out of the anti-cannon hole on his head, and broke into the choking smoke.

Several soldiers behind him followed closely behind.

The soldiers in the other anti-cannon hole almost entered the traffic trench at the same time.

Then, a sharp and creepy whistle came from the distance behind him.

Whether it was a Chinese soldier or a Japanese infantry, they instinctively looked up at the sky, and their legs were trembling slightly.

Such a dense whistle can only have one result, the cannon group!

No matter how tough a soldier is, he can't help but tremble when facing shells that can blow up the solid fortifications into white.

Tu Yunsheng is no exception!

"Avoid artillery!" The young sergeant roared and rushed into the trench first. He held the gun in his hands and leaned against the trench wall, curled himself into a ball, trying his best to protect his most fragile chest and abdomen.

Perhaps, this is the unified posture of all Chinese and Japanese soldiers on the position. The only difference is that some are faster, some are slower, and in addition, Chinese soldiers have trenches to protect, so the Japanese have no such thing!

Then the earth shook!

Balls of fireballs bloom on the hillside!

Although there were shells falling in an area less than 50 meters away from Boss Cao who was hiding in the observation post, the uncle's old face turned pale, but this basically made the Chinese soldiers on the position who were so scared that they were jumping straight to death that it was their own mountain cannon.

"My goodness, our old Commander Li has a great face! He actually mobilized all the artillery battalions' artillery companies!" A soldier surnamed Ma quietly poked his head from the edge of the trench one minute later and looked at the scenery below. The scorching heat wave made him quickly retreat back to the trench and said excitedly.
