Chapter 6 More than 400 soldiers were lost!

"withdraw!!!"

Within half a minute of laughing, the artillery company commander Wang Dazhu quickly saw that the soldiers of the third battalion who were counterattacking had withdrawn from the front.

"Quickly retreat, the little devil has counterattacked!"

Chu Hua, commander of the third battalion of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, ran up to Wang Dazhu and shouted:

"withdraw!!!"

Wang Dazhu did not just stand there stupidly. He immediately called on his artillerymen to immediately carry three mortars, and then followed the third battalion to withdraw to the frontal position at the foot of the main peak of Niujialing.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

At this time, the Japanese concentrated at least five mortars and violently bombarded the main peak of Niujialing and the defenders' positions at the foot of the mountain.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The shrill scream of the squeaking cannonball was heard, followed immediately by the violent explosion.

Xu Rui was looking down the mountain from the bunker headquarters on the main peak of Niujialing, "Mader, the little devil responded in time."

"What about the First and Second Battalions?"

Saying that, Xu Rui asked Luo Youdu, the regiment chief of staff on the side.

"We are ready, just wait for the Japanese infantry to enter within fifty meters of the mountain."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu smiled slyly and said, "Ten heavy machine guns have formed a cross and are ready to fire at any time."

Xu Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Look at the little devil's regiment headquarters being bombed. Chief of Staff, look, the three infantry brigades of the little devil launched attacks at the same time."

"Our artillery shells blew up the Japanese headquarters, and Sakata Nobori, an old Japanese soldier, was blown away."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu smiled and said: "The regiment is wise."

"Unexpectedly, this old devil actually angered Sakata Nobori and launched an army to attack our defensive position at Niujialing."

Xu Rui put away his smile, and immediately said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu with a serious expression: "Wait until five heavy machine guns from each of the first and second battalion positions cross-fire and wipe out the attacking Japanese troops."

"Sakata Nobori, an old Japanese soldier, must have been beaten so hard that he did not dare to move easily. Then, under the cover of fire from ten heavy machine guns, we broke out from behind and moved to the depths of Hutou Mountain."

Luo Youdu immediately said, "Tuanzuo, what should we do with the ten heavy machine guns?"

"Once we break through, the ten heavy machine guns are too heavy to be taken away quickly by our people."

Xu Rui thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said with great pain: "Let the machine gunner operating the heavy machine gun blow up with a grenade when he finally catches up to break through."

"yes!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, who knew the current situation, nodded immediately. There was no other way. It was impossible for people to retreat with ten heavy machine guns.

At this time, the third battalion had withdrawn.

"Okay, the third battalion has withdrawn!"

Xu Rui quickly lay down on the edge of the trench. Without a telescope, he could see that a large number of Japanese troops not far behind the third battalion had already come to kill them.

Moreover, Japs were also attacking from both sides at the same time.

"Closer, closer!!!"

Xu Rui's eyes were solemn as he watched the Japanese charging down the main peak of Niujialing. Under the cover of the Japanese's own mortar fire, the chasing Japanese would soon reach the intersection of heavy machine gun fire coverage on both sides of their own position.

.

"Made, give me a beating!"

As a signal flare exploded in the sky, Xu Rui ordered the machine gunners operating the heavy machine guns of the 1st and 2nd Battalions to open fire immediately.

At this time, when he saw a signal bomb suddenly exploded in the sky on the main peak of Niujialing, Sakata Nobori, an old devil who was observing with a telescope, immediately felt that something was wrong.

"not good!!!"

Sakata Nobori's expression immediately changed. It was still broad daylight. How could the enemy send a signal flare?

The Japanese troops stopped charging without waiting for Sakata Nobori's order to attack.

At this moment, a harsh clicking sound suddenly sounded.

"Da da da, da da da, da da da!!!"

Dense machine gun bullets were like a violent storm on both sides of the main peak of Niujialing, firing fiercely at the Japanese troops who were killing people down the mountain.

The crossfire directly captured the Japanese troops within fifty meters of the main peak of Niujialing.

The criss-crossing dense rain of bullets directly covered all the Japanese within fifty meters of the mountain.

In an instant, as bullets continued to hit the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, deafening screams soon broke out.

Sakata Nobori and the commander of the regiment's staff, Major Dokno Taro, were stunned to see so many heavy machine guns and the harsh gunshots immediately shocked the two old Japanese.

All of a sudden, so many heavy machine guns were covering and firing at each other, and the Japanese troops who were attacking the mountain suddenly came to a standstill.

"Order to stop the attack, retreat, retreat quickly! All imperial soldiers, retreat immediately! Order mortars and artillery fire to suppress the enemy positions on the main peak of Niujialing, cover the retreat of the attacking troops, hurry up, hurry up!"

Soon, Sakata Nobori, who came back to his senses, immediately grabbed a Japanese staff officer on the side and roared a series of times.

"Yes, Captain!"

The Japanese staff officer was also worried about his death, so he quickly replied, and then immediately sent an order to all the attacking Japanese troops to retreat and stop the attack.

It's just too late!

The Japanese who attacked within fifty meters of the main peak of Niujialing were all covered by fierce heavy machine gun fire. Blood mist flew everywhere, and broken limbs were everywhere.

On the position on the main peak of Niujialing, the soldiers of the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army kept throwing wooden-handled grenades, which directly killed many Japanese soldiers.

Sakata Nobori gave the order, and the Japanese who attacked the mountain did not have to wait for the order to retreat. They were suddenly fired by the defenders from ten heavy machine guns and kept retreating.

Xu Rui laughed loudly and immediately said to Chief of Staff Lin Du: "Tell the brothers to prepare for a breakout."

"The machine gunners of ten heavy machine guns were behind the last cover. When they were retreating, they blew up the heavy machine gun!"

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu nodded and said: "Yes, regimental seat."

At this time, Sakata Nobori's expression changed drastically as he watched the Japanese troops being chased and shot at by heavy machine gun fire from the defenders as they retreated.

"How could there be so many heavy machine guns in the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army on Bageya Road?"

Sakata Nobori gritted his teeth and said.

"Captain, the enemy has heavy machine guns, and I observed that there are ten heavy machine guns in total."

Wing Chief of Staff Dokno Taro's face changed drastically and he said: "I'm afraid, we will be bombarded by artillery from the artillery squadron that caught up behind us."

"Suddenly, we can no longer take Niujialing."

Sakata Nobuzhe gritted his teeth and said: "Then we will completely surround Niujialing and trap the enemy to death."

"yes!"

Dokno Taro nodded, that was all he could do.

"Reporting to the commander of the regiment and the chief of staff, the casualties in the attack just now have come out, and the loss is about 400 imperial soldiers."

A few minutes later, the damage caused by the attack came out, and a Japanese staff officer immediately reported to Sakata Nobuori and Dokno Taro.
