The Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain could ignore the unfavorable terrain and attack desperately. I am afraid that if these people are not thinking of catching a big fish, they are trying to destroy the entire Straw Hat Mountain front-line advance army command structure. Otherwise,
Such a hilltop, which is not important in the entire battlefield of Straw Hat Mountain, cannot attract so many Japanese and puppet troops anyway. The only reason that made them so desperate was that they discovered that this was a high-level headquarters.
Maybe when they followed the phone line to this place, the puppet Manchukuo troops might have regarded it as the headquarters of the frontline defense of Straw Hat Mountain. It wasn't until they saw the radio antenna here that they made up their minds to catch big fish. Since
In this way, although we cannot fulfill them, we can make use of the eagerness of these Japanese and puppet troops to make achievements and keep them here as long as possible.
Lin Zhiqiang is determined not to retreat, and in his opinion, even if he breaks out now, there is basically no possibility of success. The only thing he can do is to hold on for as long as possible to reduce as much pressure as possible on the front line of Straw Hat Mountain.
.If the reinforcements fail to arrive, for him and all the people on the mountain now, this may be their final destination.
It's just that although he was determined to die, he could not change the increasingly unfavorable situation. As the intensity of the Japanese and puppet troops' attacks became stronger each time, more troops were invested each time, and the casualties among those who could fight outside were getting higher and higher.
It became bigger and bigger. There were not many effective forces in the first place, and fewer and fewer people could stand up and fight back under the suppression of firepower by the Japanese army regardless of losses.
The Japanese army's attacks are becoming more and more intense, and they have also changed their tactics according to the situation. Compared with before, if the attack fails now, they no longer withdraw to the starting position. Instead, they will remove the bodies of dead soldiers and even the wounded.
They built fortifications on the spot and pushed upward bit by bit. The Japanese and puppet troops, who had sufficient ammunition and an absolute advantage in firepower, adopted this encroaching tactic to further worsen the resistance situation on the mountain.
Not only can ammunition no longer be collected from the dead Japanese and puppet soldiers, but the grenade launchers carried up the mountain by the Japanese army have also caused increasing losses to the resistance forces on the mountain. Under the tactics adopted by the Japanese army, they are attacking step by step and encroaching step by step.
By 7 o'clock in the morning, the battle had already reached a point where the human fortifications were already less than 50 meters away from Lin Zhiqiang's headquarters.
At this time, there were less than seven people left in the simple fortifications on the mountainside, including the lightly wounded who could barely keep fighting. The most important thing was that the last bit of ammunition was about to be consumed. Even Lin Zhiqiang had strictly prohibited
All the pistol bullets used have been fired.
The parts of dismantled weapons were scattered everywhere on the mountain, as well as smashed weapons that were not used by their owners and had no ammunition. Even the surrounding stones that could be temporarily used as weapons were thrown away at the foot of the mountain. Ammunition consumption
After all the casualties and embers, everyone on the mountainside knew that the final moment had arrived.
As the situation worsened, Lin Zhiqiang made final preparations. The submachine gun originally placed next to him had been given to him and the guard had now sacrificed it. Before he led the team into the customs, No. 1 personally delivered
The Tokarev pistol, a replica of the Anti-Japanese Federation Type 40 pistol given to him, has been loaded with bullets and placed on a makeshift table made of ammunition boxes in front of him.
The radio station's confidential personnel and translator over there also followed the order and unscrewed the safety cover of a captured Japanese white phosphorus incendiary grenade and placed it on the machine. At the same time, they also placed a glory bomb made by the Anti-Japanese Alliance given to him by Lin Zhiqiang.
, clutched in his hand. The codebook has been doused with kerosene and placed on the machine. Everyone in the cave is prepared for the worst.
However, after a fierce battle at the foot of the mountain in the middle of the night, with nearly a hundred casualties, they still failed to attack the small hilltop in front of them. The Japanese and puppet troops seemed somewhat impatient. The resistance on the mountain was getting weaker and weaker, and the only ones they defeated were bullets and grenades.
After switching to stones, they swarmed up again.
For the Japanese and puppet commanders at the foot of the mountain, the current situation on the mountain means that a big fish is about to fall into his net. Although he has not yet dreamed that the cave in front of him is the headquarters of the entire advancing army, he directly commands
After his first sneak attack on the advancing army, he knew that in the advancing army, which was not well equipped, it was at least one of their so-called columns that could use the radio antenna in front of him, at least a high-power radio station above fifty kilowatts.
level headquarters.
Although he was not arrogant enough to pass this battle, he was able to endanger the North China Front Army for many years in one fell swoop, disrupting the North China Front Army's ability to live in peace, and causing the North China Front Army to suffer a lot. He launched large-scale raids many times, and even did not hesitate to draw troops from the frontal battlefield where the strength of the troops was tight.
The so-called communist army, which carried out encirclement and suppression campaigns to no avail, wiped out most of them, but at least one of their arms was knocked off.
Of course, for him, if he could capture one of their column commanders or political commissars, it would be a great achievement. This was something the North China Front had done many times when it concentrated tens of thousands of troops on large-scale raids, but it had never been done.
The North China Front Army launched many raids at all costs, but not even a regiment-level officer was caught.
If I can succeed this time, I will definitely not be able to escape the rank of Major General. But this person must have never seen the bloody movies of later generations, and in his heart, this victory is basically certain, and he is somewhat dizzy.
The smart Japanese lieutenant colonel did not expect that many things would be reversed just when he was about to end. The outcome of this battle was still no exception.
Just as the sound of gunshots indicating that the Japanese and puppet troops had rushed towards the cave entrance, Lin Zhiqiang, knowing that the last time had arrived, calmly loaded his pistol with bullets, made final preparations, and was about to send a final farewell to the headquarters and brigade commander.
Electricity. Suddenly there was a whooshing sound that was very familiar to Lin Zhiqiang from the top of the mountain outside.
Hearing these familiar sounds, Lin Zhiqiang felt happy and immediately evacuated everyone into the cave to hide. He knew what the swishing sound was coming from. This kind of artillery fire was powerful and dense.
However, the accuracy is somewhat worse than that of barrel artillery.
If the people outside the cave entrance do not withdraw, when the shells come down, it is unknown how many people will be affected by the fish pond and fall under the shells of their own people. In response to his strange order, there are only a few people left in the entire brigade headquarters.
Personally, they are very confused. However, years of military career have allowed them to develop the habit of obeying orders and they choose to obey orders.
Just as they retreated into the cave, the entire cave entrance was covered by a burst of intensive artillery fire. The Japanese and puppet troops who had rushed less than ten meters away from the cave entrance and were about to swarm were blown up by this dense burst of shells. Their flesh and blood flew everywhere from the cave.
From the position to the starting position of the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain, they were all covered by intensive artillery fire.
Stunned by everything in front of them, the few remaining staff officers and officers, while lamenting that they had survived in desperate situations, could not help but be curious about the shells that had been fired recently. One of the staff officers turned to Lin Zhiqiang and said: "Chief of Staff.
, to be able to fire so many artillery shells in one go would require at least one artillery regiment of artillerymen."
Regarding this question, which represented the doubts of everyone in the cave, Lin Zhiqiang shook his head and said: "This is a 107mm caliber twelve-barreled rocket launcher equipped by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. One gun fired a salvo, and in just a few seconds,
It can fire twelve artillery shells. The fire coverage of an artillery company is equivalent to that of an artillery regiment."
"The artillery shells that hit us this time were, at most, a salvo fired by a company. This kind of weapon is powerful, has a fast rate of fire, and has a wide fire coverage. You have now seen how powerful they are. As for what exactly they are.
You will see what it looks like in a while."
At this point, the intensive gunshots coming from outside the cave entrance made Lin Zhiqiang stop talking. He walked to the cave entrance and raised his binoculars to look down the mountain. The situation at the bottom of the mountain at this moment changed from the original Japanese and puppet troops pressing down on the mountain to fighting.
He was massacred. Several tanks rushed into the valley, repeatedly crushing and ramming them. At the same time, they used the machine guns on the tanks to shoot back and forth at the Japanese and puppet troops on both sides of the mountain road.
The infantrymen who followed behind also rushed into the valley under the cover of the cavalry. The automatic firearms in their hands were all aimed at the tanks that were rushed into the valley and the previous artillery fire. The Japanese and puppet troops were beaten to death.
Scan like crazy.
Following the tanks and cavalry, the two advancing troops mounted on trucks had unprecedented power when firing double-barreled machine guns, which made the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops even worse. No matter who they were, as long as they
After receiving a shot, he was shot in two on the spot.
The Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain were hit by firepower that came from nowhere, and suffered heavy casualties. They did not hold out for long, and under the fierce firepower attack, they could no longer hold on, and the army was routed all the way towards the grass.
It collapsed in the direction of Mao Mao Mountain.
Looking at the one-sided result at the foot of the mountain, Lin Zhiqiang smiled slightly. However, facing the arrival of reinforcements, he did not rush down the mountain. Instead, he waited until the battle at the foot of the mountain was almost over before he put down the telescope in his hand and took the remaining soldiers from the brigade with him.
Several people walked down the mountain and walked towards a strange-looking car.
When the people in the car saw Lin Zhiqiang coming down the mountain, they quickly jumped out of the car and took a few steps to greet him and salute first. Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Zhiqiang laughed, gave him a light punch and said, "I thought someone was going to take action as soon as he came up.
You are so rich, it turns out to be you. I really didn’t expect Commander Wang to be willing to send you out."
"But you have finally arrived. In the past few days, you have made the head of the headquarters worry about you. What do you think happened to your kid in the Keshiketeng Banner? What if No. 1 knew that your kid was moving so slowly?
, I have to criticize you severely. Is it because you are not working next to No. 1 that your consciousness is somewhat reduced?"
Having said this, Lin Zhiqiang looked at the guy in front of him, and suddenly said with some confusion: "By the way, why did you come here if you didn't hand over the supplies? I can tell you, the entire advancing army is waiting for you to have these supplies.
Open fire. If something goes wrong because of your absence from duty, not to mention the headquarters, even Commander Wang will not be able to spare you. Well, it’s thanks to you that the shells came in time these days. If it had been a little later, I would have
