Outside Meiling Town, on the battlefield two kilometers away, there was about a regiment of Japanese troops, all of which were backlogged under a hillside that was not too spacious. It was impossible to break through. Because the Yanhuang Army was deployed on the hillside.
With a regiment of troops, all kinds of light and heavy weapons, and armed helicopters overhead to suppress firepower, snipers are responsible for clearing the opponent's heavy firepower points at fixed points. Whether it is a mortar or a grenade, they will knock it out for you as soon as it appears.
.
Although the Japs had more troops, they did not have an advantage in terrain, and their weapons and equipment were even worse by more than one level. This made their attack very difficult and resulted in considerable casualties, but they were unable to advance a step further.
Of course, it would not be possible for the Yanhuang Army to completely eliminate them in a short time, so the two sides became stalemate here, with loud gunshots, bullets flying, and people falling down constantly.
Although the members of the Yanhuang Legion were equipped with relatively complete alloy body armor, there were also some casualties, but such losses were much minor to them and would not affect the overall combat effectiveness.
The Japs commander stood in an open field holding a command sword, waving the sword and shouting loudly, commanding the troops to charge forward, trying to seize down the hillside. Not too far behind them was the road leading to Mei
On the mountain road in Ling Town, where the terrain gradually becomes higher, you can take advantage of the terrain.
When he thought of this incident, the anger in the Japs commander's heart seemed to be poured into the flames of hot oil, rising up and up, and he wished he could curse loudly.
In this broken terrain, if the mountain road behind them moved forward a short distance, they would be able to reach a higher range. They could also use the terrain to counterattack, but this mountain road suddenly became flat right here, so they could only watch.
, but there is no way. Isn’t this a scam?
Ignoring the Japs' commander's muttering complaints, the 301st Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Yanhuang Army on the hillside stood ready. As long as the Japs dared to approach, they would be shot with explosive fire. They would lose their armor and flee in panic, leaving behind several soldiers.
After ten corpses, he fled back in despair.
The two sides have been in a stalemate here for seven or eight hours, and the Japanese have not been able to step onto the hillside.
Looking at the Japanese troops milling around anxiously at the bottom of the mountain, the commander of the 302nd Regiment of the Third Division on the hillside held a minigun and laughed, "What the hell, I'm here, you still want to come up, you're dreaming
Bar."
Click, click, click, machine gunfire rang out, overwhelming the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the mountain, causing them to moan incessantly. However, they did not dare to disobey orders and could only bravely charge upwards, even though they knew that facing them would mean death.
"Prepare, release!"
Behind the hillside, protected by an alloy shield, 105 mortars were neatly arranged. The gunners responsible for the operations were in camouflage uniforms and loaded the shells into them in an orderly manner.
The shells roared and the gas was emptied. The Japanese's favorite attack method was used on them, giving them a taste of mortar bombing.
Although there was only one regiment and only one battalion of soldiers placed on the front line, and the other two battalions existed entirely as reserves, these five hundred men beat the enemy to the point where they cried like ghosts, howled like wolves, and abandoned their armor.
The Japanese commander organized many attacks, but they all ended in failure. In the end, heavy losses were suffered, and all the troops involved in the attack suffered heavy casualties.
Because of this, the Japanese support troops attacked many times, but in the end they made no progress. Instead, they were oppressed and miserable.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, the four regiments of the two supporting brigades arrived, and they immediately entered the battle, greatly relieving the pressure on the regiment.
The commander of the Sakai Division was very happy about the sudden appearance of reinforcements. He said, "Thank you very much for your support."
The four regiments responsible for the rescue knew in their hearts that this was the aid that Chief of Staff Mita had given in exchange for things, so when it came to saying thank you, they should say they were grateful to the Sakai Division. However, they could not say this out loud, they could only say it in their hearts.
Think about it, on the surface, you have to pretend to be very loyal, "Serving the empire, this is what we soldiers should do."
Feeling that there were reinforcements, the captain of the Sakai Division suddenly felt more confident. He ordered the troops to press forward across the entire line and launch an attack from one direction of the hillside, while the other half of the hillside was the direction of the reinforcements' attack.
The four regiments were naturally embarrassed to take advantage of others and not work, so they shouldered part of the attack and charged towards the hillside with great momentum.
At this time, the fierce fighting escalated. The two sides were entangled together, and gunfire continued. People kept falling down, and the people behind them immediately pushed up.
The pressure on the 302nd Regiment of the Third Division suddenly increased. Although they had a great advantage in weapons and equipment, their numbers were limited after all. Originally, it was easy for one regiment to attack fiercely, but now that five regiments are attacking at the same time, the pressure on them has increased immensely.
, the battalion originally regarded as a reserve force was also mobilized and joined the battle.
On the hillside, there were gun muzzles spraying flames everywhere, the sound of bullets flying by, fallen bodies everywhere, and blood splashing everywhere.
"Captain Qin, we have been ordered to support you." Just when the 302nd Regiment was in a hurry, groups of soldiers rushed from the back of the hillside. They were all equipped with automatic weapons and their movements were skillful. They looked like they had been trained for a long time.
Elite soldiers.
Seeing these troops arriving, the leader of the 302nd Regiment of the Third Division was overjoyed and shouted, "Grandma, you've finished fighting over there, isn't it time to come over here?"
The commander who led the team nodded, and while directing his soldiers to quickly rush to the position and join the battle, he said, "Yes, the battle over there is over. All three Japanese brigades have been annihilated. Not long after."
If someone slips through the net, the next battle will be like this."
"Great, this is what we've been waiting for." As he spoke, Captain Qin pulled the bolt of the gun, replaced it with a new bullet belt, and then pointed the muzzle of the gun at the Japanese at the foot of the hillside again.
"The political commissar ordered to switch from defense to offense, push the Japanese back to Meiling Town, and prepare to implement the Rubble Plan." With a loud roar, all the soldiers participating in the battle were refreshed and increased their firepower output.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation immediately reversed. Even though the Japanese had five regiments, they felt tremendous pressure. They worked hard to support, hoping to withstand the pressure of the opponent.
Unfortunately, the Yanhuang Army did not want to give them a chance to breathe. The Falcon armed attack helicopter flew out with a roar in the sky, two large-caliber machine guns roared on the nose, and rain of bullets sprayed towards the Japanese troops on the ground.
At the same time, hurricane tanks rushed out from both sides of the hillside. As they galloped, the tank guns fired shells, and they rushed straight towards the Japanese at the bottom of the hillside. The dust covered the sky and the sun was covered by the tracks, as if they were standing vertically.
Flags were raised.
At the foot of the hillside, the Japanese were all in chaos. They did not expect that reinforcements from the other side would arrive so quickly, with so many troops and so well-equipped weapons and equipment.
There was no way to fight this battle. As the Japanese retreated back, they wailed in their hearts. The enemy on the opposite side opened fire with all kinds of firepower, and the bullets were like heavy rain. They watched the people on their side fall one after another. If they continued
If you continue to resist, you will probably die here.
As a result, the Japanese troops began to retreat, gradually retreating towards Meiling Town. Behind them was the mountain road. Although the terrain had improved, the opponent's firepower was too strong, so they could only keep retreating and retreating.
In just a few minutes, the Japanese were beaten and retreated to the gate of Meiling Town, and then they retreated into Meiling Town.
When they got here, the Japanese commanders did not dare to retreat. They knew that if they retreated into Meiling Town without the permission of Chief of Staff Santian of Meiling Town, they would be fleeing the battlefield and would be punished as deserters. If so, they might be punished.
There is a possibility of being shot.
"What to do now?" Several commanders huddled together, discussing in low voices, and finally decided to send people into Meiling Town to ask Chief of Staff Santian for instructions to see if they could be allowed to withdraw.
The messengers were sent out, and all that was left was to wait. The few captains felt that their days were like years, as if they were being roasted on an iron plate. It was really uncomfortable to see their troops being killed constantly and there was nothing they could do.
.
Finally, when he saw that the leading troops of the Hurricane tanks had already driven up the mountain road, the Japanese who delivered the message finally came back. As he ran, he shouted, "The chief of staff has ordered the troops to withdraw to Meiling Town."
Upon hearing this, the Japanese were all very happy. They immediately turned their troops and withdrew towards the town, fearing that they would be killed if they moved too slowly.
Seeing the Japs beginning to withdraw towards the town gate, the Yanhuang Army, which was originally in hot pursuit, slowed down without being noticed. Even the hurricane tank at the front began to bluff, dawdling in place with heavy thunder and small raindrops.
Rubbing.
Finally, the Japanese withdrew into Meiling Town and closed the town gate. Then all the light and heavy weapons on the town wall turned their muzzles, preparing to fire when the Yanhuang Army came into range.
To the disappointment of the Japanese, the Yanhuang Legion suddenly stopped, and its position was just outside the effective range of the town's weapons. This made the Japanese extremely depressed, but they were powerless.
Seeing that the troops had successfully withdrawn, Chief of Staff Mita on the wall finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the plan to rescue the leader of the Sakai Division failed, at least most of these troops had withdrawn, and the Meiling Town was still preserved.
defensive power.
Relying on the advantages of the terrain and the strength of two more brigades in the town, the Yanhuang Army's attempt to capture Meiling Town is expected to be impossible in less than three days. This period of time is enough time for the Japanese Kwantung Army to send a large number of reinforcements.
Therefore, Chief of Staff Mita is not very worried about the siege of the Yanhuang Army. What he is most worried about now is Sakai's life and death, and the whereabouts of the three brigades.
It has been more than ten hours since we lost contact. Are they really in trouble?
