Chapter 200 Internal Disintegration(1/2)
Koshiki Toranosuke adjusted the defense deployment!
Fifteen hundred people were stationed on the east side of Rouding Mountain to defend against the attack of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army!
One thousand and five hundred people were stationed on the north side of Rouding Mountain to defend against the attack of the 27th Army, the direct force!
Two thousand people were stationed on the south side of Rouding Mountain to defend against attacks by the guerrilla detachment.
A team of 600 people was stationed on the west side of Rouding Mountain to prevent sneak attacks and also served as a reserve force.
The artillery unit of 400 people provides full support to all aspects of operations.
There is no problem with such a deployment, especially the sixteen artillery pieces, which played a decisive role in this battle.
They continued to launch artillery bombardments based on the shooting data provided by the artillery observation station.
Artillery shells were fired one after another at different positions, strongly supporting the defensive operations of the Japanese and puppet troops everywhere.
On the south side of the battlefield, the 1st Battalion and the Armored Cavalry Battalion were no longer weak.
However, they made several attacks in succession and achieved only minor results.
They need to attack from their backs along rugged roads, and they cannot invest too many troops.
Firstly, the roads cannot accommodate large troops for attack, and secondly, once there are too many troops, they will be hit by artillery shells immediately.
Fortunately, the machine gun company under the armored cavalry battalion is equipped with twelve machine guns, combat defense guns, and rapid-fire guns.
There are also six Type 24 heavy machine guns and five Czech heavy machine guns.
These heavy weapons provided strong cover and were able to suppress the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Of course, this kind of fire suppression is nothing more than reducing troop casualties. It still takes time to quickly capture the position.
After all, the Japanese and puppet troops occupy the terrain advantage, and their overall firepower is not weak.
Lu Ming was conducting command at the front line, with a relatively calm expression on his face. After all, the guard company had already arrived at Rooding Mountain.
Any solid position will be difficult to attack from the outside, but if attacked from the inside, it can be disintegrated in an instant.
"Dingdong, the system releases a mission!"
"Annihilate the Japanese independent mixed ninth brigade!"
"Accept the mission and be rewarded with ten German-made four-wheeled armored vehicles!"
"There are no special conditions for accepting the task this time, and there will be special rewards after completion."
At this time, the system sound appeared.
Faced with this task, Lu Ming naturally chose to accept it without hesitation.
After all, now that Chu Yunfei's troops are assisting in the battle, it is possible to completely annihilate these Japanese and puppet troops.
"Special reminder, please host complete the battle before eight o'clock in the morning!"
After Lu Ming accepted the task, the system sound sounded again.
Lu Ming was completely used to this. There were no additional conditions for accepting the task, so he knew that there must be other conditions.
But even if the operation is required to be completed before eight o'clock tomorrow morning, there is still no problem for Lu Ming.
After all, it was only after nine o'clock, so he had enough time.
"Monk, Xizi, whether you can complete the combat mission quickly this time depends on your performance."
Lu Ming looked towards Rooding Mountain and said with a solemn expression on his face.
At this time, the guard company, led by Wei Bao, had arrived at the artillery position of the little devil!
Originally, they planned to raid Koshiki Toranosuke's brigade headquarters, but the defense there was very tight.
There were thousands of little Japs on guard duty before, so it would be difficult for the security company to deal with them quickly.
And as the battle started, the Xiaojiazi artillery positions launched fierce bombardments one after another.
They were from a commanding position and could clearly see that the attacking troops were being bombarded everywhere, and their attacks were thwarted again and again.
So they discussed directly and decided to destroy the Japs' artillery positions first.
As the thirty snipers from the sniper platoon set up sniper positions, two assault platoons and two submachine gun platoons were ready.
One sniper after another began to shoot with the Type 97 sniper rifle, and the machine gun shooters responsible for guarding the artillery positions were eliminated one after another.
Because there were sixteen artillery pieces firing continuously, the sound of sniper rifle fire was completely covered up.
Fifty assaulters with semi-automatic rifles and sixty submachine gunners with Thompson submachine guns.
As well as more than fifty riflemen led by Wei Bao, they quickly arrived at the artillery position.
"Baga Yalu, how did you come here? Who asked you to come here?"
"Asshole, go back to the front line immediately and fight. This is not a place you can enter."
"Go back now, or I will beat you to death right now."
The machine gun shooters in the artillery position were eliminated, and these soldiers quickly came to the artillery position.
When a young Japanese lieutenant saw these people wearing puppet army uniforms, he had an angry look on his face and roared loudly.
He touched his southern pistol with a fierce expression on his face.
But before he could take the next action, Wei Bao took out his shell gun, pointed it directly at his head, and pulled the trigger.
The bullet accurately hit the second lieutenant Xiaoguizi's face, and he died on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, assaulters, submachine gunners, riflemen, and snipers started hunting one after another.
Intensive gunfire continued, and the unsuspecting little Japanese artillerymen fell into a pool of blood one after another!
Gradually, the little devils realized that something was wrong, but by the time they reacted, they had already suffered heavy casualties.
Shao Zuo, a young Jaap in charge of the command, quickly drew his saber, but he had not yet had time to issue any orders.
A 7.7MM bullet was quickly fired from the sniper rifle, and the little Jaap Shao Zuo died on the spot.
Although the Japanese artillerymen had a certain number of weapons, the soldiers of the guard company would not give them any chance to fire.
Even many little Japanese artillerymen were shot dead without a chance to get their weapons.
By 9:30, the Jaap artillery position was no longer able to carry out shelling, and the ground was littered with the bodies of the Japs.
Koshiki Toranosuke also received the report immediately, and his face was full of astonishment.
"Who on earth attacked the artillery position, and why did they appear here!"
"Deploy the reserve team and head to the artillery position immediately to ensure the safety of the sixteen artillery pieces!"
"Baga Yalu, we must completely annihilate them!"
Koshiki Toranosuke said with an angry face, the 600-day puppet troops stationed on the west side hurriedly rushed towards the artillery position to support them.
It was at this time that the 27th Army, under the command of Commander Fan, quickly joined the battle.
The two divisions launched a fierce attack on the position on the north side of Rooding Mountain one after another!
At one time, Rouding Mountain was hit on three sides and without artillery support, the overall defensive capabilities of the Japanese and puppet troops obviously began to weaken.
Lu Ming quickly seized the opportunity. He personally led Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion and quickly detoured to the west to attack.
At this time, there were no troops stationed on the west side. They advanced rapidly along the rugged road.
Their appearance quickly aroused the vigilance of the little Japanese. The 600 little Japanese who returned to support the artillery position quickly transferred 300 to return to garrison.
However, at this time the three cavalry companies made rapid progress and seized a favorable position.
Czech light machine guns and 60mm mortars have already been set up.
When the little devil came over, they immediately started shooting.
The entire Roodingshan position was hit from all sides, and the number of casualties among the Japs continued to increase.
At the artillery position, the 300-day puppet troops who came to support were attacked by a surprise attack from the guard company.
Czech semi-automatic rifles, Thompson submachine guns, Type 97 sniper rifles, and Liao-made rifles fired one after another.
The Japanese and puppet troops who were caught off guard suffered dozens of casualties on the spot, and the rest of the Japanese and puppet troops took cover one after another.
However, under the powerful firepower of the security company, they were forced to retreat steadily and were no match for them.
In the Little Devil Brigade!
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the northern side has been attacked by the enemy's superior force. There are currently more than 400 casualties!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there are continuous battles on the east side, and there are currently more than 500 casualties!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the position on the west side has been lost, and a large number of enemy troops are rapidly advancing towards the mountain!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the three hundred troops supporting the artillery position were attacked by the enemy and completely lost contact!"
At ten o'clock in the evening, messages began to arrive one after another.
A slightly panicked expression appeared on Koshiki Toranosuke's face, and he glanced at the map.
"Immediately contact the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, the 16th Brigade, and ask them to quickly provide support!"
To be continued...
