    Chapter 388 Blocking Operation (7)

    Seeing that Watanabe Hiroshi accepted his warning, Kobayashi Asagoro stopped talking nonsense, left a scout who had explored the terrain under Shendou Ridge, and left to go about his own business.  £º*Piaotian Literature Network*Net*

    After seeing off Kobayashi Asagoro, Watanabe Hiroshi immediately gave orders to his subordinate captains to abandon the original plan of directly attacking Shentou Village and prepare to capture the crucial Shentou Ridge Highlands first.

    Of course, Watanabe Hiroshi also did not forget to ask the officers and soldiers who had gone through all the hardships to find a place to sit down and have a good rest.  Wait until the artillery squadron behind catches up, and then launch the attack together.

    At about 2:40 in the afternoon, the artillery squadron attached to the 35th Wing finally arrived.  With the help of the infantry reconnaissance team, the artillery squadron quickly selected favorable terrain and began to build a simple artillery position.

    The Japanese infantry who got a short rest also recovered a certain amount of physical strength. Encouraged by the Japanese officers, they waited for the moment of attack.

    At 2:50, Watanabe Hiroshi sent a small group of about 70 infantrymen to launch a probing attack on the ridge on the left side of Shentou Ridge.

    Soon, the weak Japanese team was crippled by the Indonesian anti-foreigner troops guarding the blocking position halfway up the mountain.  When they retreated, there were only about 40 people left in the Japanese team.  However, the Japanese commanders used this test attack to roughly understand the arrangement of the Indonesian anti-foreign forces on the mountains.

    At 3:20 pm, the artillery squadron of the 35th Wing and the tens of millimeter artillery attached to each squadron began to focus on the blocking position halfway up the mountain on the left side of Shentou Ridge and continuously fired artillery fire.

    "Boom, boom, boom" The rapid group of artillery shells tore the air, whizzing like lightning and thunder, pouring around the blocking position on the left side of Shentou Ridge.

    In an instant, there were constant explosions on and around the blocking position. The surrounding trees were blown apart by artillery shells, branches flew across, and a large cloud of white smoke rose from the mountains, which was shocking.

    Fortunately, the trees on Shentou Ridge were not dense, and many of the trees had been cut down and cut off by the guarding soldiers in advance, so no major fires occurred.

    Guarding the blocking position on the mountain ridge on the left side of Shentou Ridge are more than 600 officers and soldiers of the 1st Brigade, 2nd Regiment and 2nd Battalion, as well as an Indonesian combat battalion that sent a large amount of logistical supplies in the morning.

    Because the first brigade had been hit by Japanese artillery fire, they knew how powerful the Japanese artillery fire was.

    In order to avoid unnecessary losses, before the Japanese infantry launched an attack, there were generally only more than 20 Chinese and Indian officers and soldiers on guard in the blocking position.  The main force retreated to a safe place such as the mountains behind to rest.

    The commander of the Japanese army, Colonel Watanabe Hiroshi, did not know this.

    Watanabe Hiroshi ordered the artillery squadron to continuously bombard the second battalion's blocking position, determined to be ruthless and capture the high mountain ridge on the left side of Shentou Ridge in one go.

    The shelling lasted for about fifteen minutes. The Japanese artillery shells were like firecrackers, exploding around the small blocking position.  The strange screams of shrapnel tearing the air and destroying trees gnawed at human nerves like saw teeth.

    The huge bomb hit the bo, kicked up countless amounts of soil, and poured down overwhelmingly towards the blocking position, as if it was going to bury people alive.

    Under the concentrated attack of Japanese artillery, only half of the more than 20 officers and soldiers guarding the blocking position escaped.  Among them, three people were killed and five others suffered varying degrees of injuries.

    What is sad is that there are still two Indonesian soldiers who were frightened crazy by the bombs.  According to military regulations, these useless Indonesian soldiers will of course be executed.

    (I feel dizzy after drinking too much. I¡¯ll write it first and then improve it tomorrow. Alas, there¡¯s no recommendation and no one will read it. What a shame.

    No matter what, if the number of words is small, you must update it. Don¡¯t interrupt it. If you become a habit, you will become a eunuch. You must finish the book) f
