Text Chapter 421: Repeated Fighting

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Japanese garrison obviously did not expect that their opponent would dare to ignore the unknown situation and rush directly into the troop transport tunnel they used to counterattack the front-line positions without even having time to blow up the tunnel.  [.Com text] After the counterattack force was dispersed, the opponent successfully broke in.

    After entering the Japanese garrison tunnel, the troops participating in the attack did not stop at any time and quickly moved deeper into the Japanese garrison tunnel.  At this time, because they were not prepared for the opponent to break into the tunnel so quickly, all the lights in the Japanese guard tunnel were still on.  The troops that invaded the tunnel didn't even need to bring their own lighting.

    Seeing that everything on the front is progressing smoothly, the number of casualties is far lower than expected.  While Du Kaishan breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his main attention to the two companies that set off an hour after the frontal attack. At this time, they were forcibly intersecting along the dry river on the flank towards the Camelback line.  .

    Compared to the front where the gunfire is dense, the roundabout route is always quiet.  The roundabout troops had already set off for more than ten minutes, and the entire roundabout route was still quiet.  Du Kaishan took the handset of the walkie-talkie several times, wanting to ask Wu Ruofu about the movements of the outflanking troops, but he put it down several times.

    The current silence on the circuitous route does not mean that it will be calm in that direction.  The temporary calm may mean a more intense battle later.  It is not an easy task to forcefully pass between the two Japanese positions.  In particular, the vegetation on both sides of the dry river that could be used as cover was completely cleared by the Japanese army.  Not even a waist-deep bush, just some weeds.

    There is no cover of vegetation, only scattered slightly larger rocks washed down from the mountain, which can be used as cover.  The entire river was almost naked and exposed to crossfire from the mountains on both sides.  Once discovered by the Japanese army, the entire outflanking force will be covered by Japanese heavy artillery fire on the Camel's Hump behind.

    Du Kaishan could hear the sound of artillery fire from the Japanese counterattack just now.  On the camel's hump behind, the Japanese army deployed at least four or more 150mm heavy artillery.  If it weren't for some problems with its shooting angle, and its firepower was more concentrated on the lakeside plains, with insufficient emphasis on the north, it wouldn't be easy for me to fight like this.  A single salvo of the Japanese 150 heavy artillery can cover the entire front of the mountain.

    There is no sound of gunfire or any reply in the roundabout direction of the troops.  At this time, amid the sound of guns and gunfire that spread throughout Honey Mountain, the roundabout direction was silent but somewhat strange.  Calm, unusually calm, Du Kaishan turned on the transmitter of the phone several times to prepare to bypass the troops, but he put it down several times.

    Because the outflanking troops never responded to the letter, Du Kaishan, who was somewhat concerned, saw that the attack on the mountainside was progressing smoothly, but it was never completed on the ridge due to the desperate struggle of the Japanese army.  Although another company was invested, the battle for the ridgeline still did not see much improvement.  Gritting his teeth, he said to Qin Zesheng beside him: "Two companies up there, no matter what, we must capture the ridgeline within an hour."

    Qin Zesheng shook his head and said: "Commander, the position on the top of the mountain is so big. We have invested too many troops at one time. Once the Japanese army adopts the tactic of mutual destruction, we will suffer too much loss. Moreover, there are too many troops up there, and they cannot be deployed.  . I suggest that we should invest one company at a time. Although this is a refueling tactic, I think it is more appropriate to focus our troops on the few Japanese tunnels that have been discovered.  ¡±

    Du Kaishan shook his head slightly: "The battle inside the fortification is not suitable for ordinary infantry combat companies. This kind of thing is more suitable for special forces like the reconnaissance battalion directly under the military region. And we don't know the situation inside the fortification. We invested three  It¡¯s already the maximum limit. If it¡¯s more, it might be counterproductive.¡±

    Having said this, Du Kaishan raised his telescope and took another look at the battle situation, and then said to Qin Zesheng: "Tell the troops to fight for the ridge with all their strength. After taking the ridge, don't stop, and immediately develop deep into the Japanese army to clear the anti-slope positions.  "

    "Tell the artillerymen to disassemble the 105 cannon, wait for the infantry to occupy the front, and immediately transport the cannon up the hill to the original Japanese artillery fortifications to suppress the Japanese heavy artillery on the camel hump behind. Didn't the headquarters assign them a batch of new artillery shells?  , let¡¯s see what good things the headquarters comes up with.¡±

    Although Du Kaishan gave a death order and must take the edge position within an hour, the progress of the battle for the edge was not as smooth as he imagined.  He increased his troops at the ridge position, and the Japanese army, who knew clearly the consequences of losing the ridge line, used the reverse slope as support at any cost and relied on the secret passage in the mountain to dispatch a large number of troops to fight for it repeatedly.

    The attacking troops often have just reached the edge.??, haven't yet taken a stand.  The Japanese counterattack troops, under the cover of intensive artillery fire on the Camel Peak line, relied on the thoroughfares built in all directions on the top of the mountain to quickly launch a counterattack.  Every time there was a counterattack, Japanese counterattack troops could appear from all over the top of the mountain.

    When the battle for the ridge line entered a fever pitch, the heavy artillery group in the direction of Miaoling, which had been silent since the battle started, finally appeared in the depths of the Honey Mountain Japanese fortress complex. Regardless of the entanglement between the two armies, they also began to attack Camel's Hump.  Each front covered the hilltops to carry out artillery bombardment.

    The Japanese heavy artillery group deployed in the direction of Miaoling has at least eight 150mm heavy howitzers, in addition to at least eight heavy cannons of the same caliber.  All the firepower of its heavy artillery was concentrated on the mountaintop in front of Dukai Mountain, which was the outpost of Camel's Peak, the main peak of Honey Mountain.

    The heavy artillery group deployed by the Japanese army at Camel Peak was unable to carry out fire strikes on the lower-altitude mountain in front of them due to the shooting angle.  However, the firepower of the heavy artillery group deployed along the Miao Ridge deep in Honey Mountain, especially the 150-heavy howitzer, was enough to cover the entire mountain.

    The two armies that were repeatedly fighting for the ridgeline suffered heavy casualties from the Japanese artillery fire. The battle lasted until 2 p.m., although Du Kaishan followed the tactical requirements and successfully captured various defensive key points and support points of the Japanese army on the front hillside. On the top of the mountain,  A lot of nails were also put on the ridges.  However, its tactical intention of seizing the edge in order to develop in depth was far from being realized.

    Although an hour has passed long ago, the battle for the edge is still going on.  Not to mention taking down the hidden positions built by the Japanese army on the reverse slope, even the ridge line has never been taken down.  The entire battle for the edge has turned into a stalemate.

    Although I am reluctant, I don¡¯t want it to be a fueling tactic.  However, the slow progress of the battle and the Japanese army's repeated battles for an inch of territory forced Du Kaishan to bite the bullet and add more companies one by one.  However, under the blockade of deep Japanese artillery fire, it was not easy for the reinforcements to rush up the mountain.

    Sometimes, when a company rushed through the Japanese artillery blockade, it suffered one-third casualties.  In other words, the reinforcements lost their combat effectiveness due to casualties before they arrived on the battlefield.  As the range of mountain and field artillery was insufficient, Du Kaishan had almost no power to fight back against the Japanese artillery fire.

    And while the battle for the same ridge was in full swing, a fierce battle inside the mountain was also going on right under their feet.  Although the Japanese army failed to blow up the tunnel before, they paid a considerable price, which resulted in their opponents infiltrating into the entire Honey Mountain.

    The Japanese troops inside the tunnel made use of the existing fortifications and firepower points in the tunnel, as well as their familiarity with the internal structure of the tunnel, and the subsequent resistance was extremely tenacious.  Although the attacking troops penetrated into the Japanese tunnels and had an advantage in close combat firepower, the speed of advancement was still slow and could only be measured in meters.

    The entire interior of the mountain in front of Camel Peak, which is more than 400 meters above sea level, has been hollowed out.  Various passages are built in all directions, like a maze.  Moreover, the Japanese army has made preparations to be penetrated by opponents, and has built firepower points or fortifications at every corner.  and partitions used to delay the opponent's attack.

    As those who are more adept at field combat and have not received similar training and combat, most of the troops who have seen such huge mountain fortifications for the first time can only chew through them bit by bit.  Use rocket launchers and grenades as well as light machine guns and submachine guns to fight the Japanese troops who are also tenacious in their struggle.

    After several hard battles, they captured the bottom and second floors of the mountain's internal fortifications, cleared out the Japanese troops on the lower floors, and cut off the communication between the Japanese troops above and the Japanese troops in the basement.  However, it has been unable to cut off the channels for the movement of upper-level Japanese troops and cut off the channels for contact with the Japanese troops on the front line of Camelback.

    This is also the reason why the Japanese army can quickly mobilize its troops to participate in the counterattack during the battle for the ridge line.  Several passages leading to the upper Japanese fortifications were always in the hands of the Japanese garrison. The troops entering the mountain interior repeatedly fought for it, but they were helpless as the Japanese troops were condescending and blew up the passages.

    The battle for the edge has never ended, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger.  The original intention was to quickly capture the frontal position.  The plan to develop in depth was blocked, which made Du Kaishan somewhat impatient.  As for the battle within the mountain, no good news came yet, which made him lose his cool rarely.

    Watching the hands on the watch go by little by little, Du Kaishan gritted his teeth and said to Qin Zesheng beside him: "Old Qin, you withdraw all the troops above and send all the explosives on hand into the little devil's tunnel. Little devil  Since the upward passage has been blown up, let¡¯s use explosives to speak.¡±

    "Send all the explosives into the tunnel and tell the engineers to choose the best explosion point."Carry out overall blasting.  If five hundred kilograms of explosives doesn't work, use one thousand kilograms.  If I can't beat him down, I'll serve him a pot.  Even if it doesn't blow up the entire mountain, I will shock the kid inside to death.  I can't do anything to sell iron at the expense of others.  "

    Just when Qin Zesheng nodded and was about to execute it, a familiar voice came from behind Du Kaishan: "Du Kaishan, why are you trying to sell the iron? You can't stand such a little setback, but it's not like your style, Lao Du? Yours  Haven¡¯t there been any news about the outflanking troops yet? Why don¡¯t you wait any longer?¡±
