Chapter 310 Excited Ito and Yamamoto
Chapter 310 Excited Ito and Yamamoto
Inside the Dazhaishan frontline command post.
Li Yunlong saw tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers rushing into the position like a tide, and engaged in a fierce battle with his soldiers in the position.
"Brigade Commander, the Japanese offensive is too fierce. The soldiers on the front lines are under tremendous pressure!" A staff officer anxiously reported the battle situation on the front line.
Li Yunlong knew that he had to take action immediately.
He immediately ordered: "The reserve troops will attack and support the frontline positions!"
He didn't expect that the Japanese army in the middle would be so ferocious, and he didn't see how powerful this group of Japanese troops were in the previous battles.
But the current situation forced him to admit that the Japanese attacking forces were very powerful.
In just the first round of attack, the Japanese actually rushed into the frontline positions of Dazhai Mountain, which had never happened in previous battles.
"Brigade Commander, the reserve troops have set off!" a signalman reported.
Li Yunlong nodded. He knew that the addition of the reserve team would bring much-needed support to the soldiers on the front line.
On the front line, the soldiers fought a desperate battle with the Japanese.
The Japanese's pig-rush tactics made their charge extremely fierce, but the soldiers of the independent brigade were no pushovers.
They put up a tenacious resistance in the trenches and launched fierce counterattacks against the Japanese with the weapons in their hands.
"Hit them! Don't let any one go!" a company commander shouted loudly.
at the same time.
Yamamoto and Ito were observing the battle situation ahead through telescopes.
They saw that the attacking troops had successfully broken into the enemy's position, and both of them showed proud smiles on their faces.
"General Ito, it looks like the battle will be over soon. I didn't expect the attacking troops to rush into the enemy's position so smoothly."
Ito nodded and said, "General Yamamoto, your infantry-artillery coordination and pig-rush tactics are really powerful. It seems that we can have lunch on Dazhai Mountain at noon."
"Hahaha, then I have to prepare a big meal to celebrate the capture of Dazhai Mountain." Yamamoto said with a smile.
..........
On the battlefield ahead.
The soldiers of the Independent Brigade showed amazing courage and tenacity.
They formed dozens of submachine gun teams on each position, which maneuvered flexibly on the positions and ruthlessly strangled the Japanese.
The firepower of submachine guns played a huge role in close combat. The soldiers of the independent brigade took advantage of this and effectively suppressed the Japanese attack.
Especially when the reserve troops joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.
All members of the reserve team were equipped with submachine guns and fired fiercely at the Japanese at close range. They avoided hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese and instead chose to use their firepower advantage to decide the outcome of the battle.
After Yamamoto saw the situation on the Dazhaishan position through the telescope, his face turned gloomy.
He did not expect the independent brigade's resistance to be so tenacious, especially the appearance of those submachine gun squads, which completely disrupted their offensive rhythm.
"Order the 210th, 211th, and 212th Regiments to attack quickly and support the front-line attacking forces. Make sure to capture Dazhai Mountain before noon." Yamamoto gave the order quickly.
"Hai."
The Japanese adjutant responded and quickly turned around to convey Yamamoto's order.
It didn't take long.
Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers from the three regiments quickly took action. They rushed to the Dazhaishan front like a black tide to support the attacking troops.
The battlefield was once again covered with Japanese soldiers, who shouted slogans and launched a new round of charge on the front line of Dazhai Mountain.
Li Yunlong stood at the front-line command post, closely watching every change on the battlefield.
When he saw the large-scale movement of the Japanese reinforcements, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to contact the artillery regiment.
"Artillery Regiment, please note that the Japanese reinforcements are charging towards Dazhai Mountain. Order all the artillery cannons in the artillery regiment to fire hard.
At the same time, bring out the rocket launcher to me, so that the Japanese can see what it means to destroy the heavens and the earth."
"Artillery Regiment received."
After the call, the commander of the artillery regiment quickly ordered the 107 rocket artillery unit to open fire.
After receiving the order to open fire, the rocket artillery unit's 40 rockets loaded on 107 480 rocket launchers were instantly fired.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
Rockets whizzed into the sky, and the deafening sound echoed throughout the sky above Dazhai Mountain.
Hundreds of rockets flew towards the charging Japanese reinforcements at an extremely fast speed. They streaked across the sky like meteors, carrying the power of destruction.
In the Japanese charging team, the soldiers heard a whistling sound in the sky. They looked up and saw countless flames streaking across the sky and then rushing towards them at an alarming speed.
There was a look of fear on their faces; they knew that these rockets were powerful enough to destroy their charge.
"Hidden! Hidden!"
The Japanese commander shouted loudly and tried to find cover, but they had nowhere to hide in this open area.
Under everyone's gaze, rockets fell into the Japanese army like raindrops, causing a violent explosion in an instant.
One round of attack directly covered an entire square kilometer of land. Within the explosion range of the rockets, all the Japanese soldiers were instantly evaporated, leaving no ashes.
The power of these rockets far exceeded the Japanese's imagination. They brought not only death, but also deep fear.
As for the Japanese soldiers behind, they were blown away by the shock wave of the rocket explosion, and the scorching heat wave swept across the front line of Dazhai Mountain.
This wave of rocket attacks killed at least three to four thousand Japanese soldiers who were charging. The horrific and tragic scene made all the Japanese soldiers feel extremely frightened. They had never seen such a large-scale explosion.
The morale of the soldiers on the Dazhaishan position suddenly increased, and they began to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese.
The Japanese attacking forces were beaten back step by step, and the positions they had occupied before were recaptured by the independent brigade.
The remaining Japanese soldiers knew that the situation was hopeless and began to evacuate the frontline positions and return to the rear base camp.
Yamamoto stood on the high ground with a livid face and roared, "Bakayaloo!"
His fists were clenched and his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.
He did not expect the firepower of the Independent Brigade to be so strong, and the attack was completely beyond his control.
Ito said in shock: "The artillery of the independent column is too terrifying."
He was also frightened by the horrific explosion. It was impossible to survive such an explosion.
After the morning battle,
The front line of Dazhai Mountain was filled with smoke and blood.
The battlefield was littered with corpses, some of which were from the Japanese and some from the Eighth Route Army, but most of them were from the Japanese.
The soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield. They carefully stacked the bodies of their fallen comrades with grief and respect on their faces.
Li Yunlong brought Zhao Gang to the battlefield to visit the soldiers.
"Comrades, you are all great. I have seen the battle this morning. You are the best. Everyone, take a good rest. The battle this afternoon will be even more difficult."
When the soldiers heard Li Yunlong's words, they smiled with joy on their faces.
In the Japanese camp, Yamamoto and Ito could not get over the casualties that occurred in the morning for a long time.
In the morning attack, they lost nearly 7000 soldiers, which was a heavy blow to both divisions.
Yamamoto said viciously: "General Ito, I am going to launch a more fierce attack this afternoon. At the same time, I will have the aviation force launch an air strike on the enemy's artillery positions. We must completely capture Dazhai Mountain this afternoon."
Ito agreed: "General Yamamoto, I agree with your action. The independent column will pay a heavy price this afternoon."
There was a gleam of revenge in the eyes of both men, and they knew that the battle in the afternoon would be decisive.
They must take Dazhai Mountain, otherwise their losses will be irreparable.
