"Isn't the enemy only equipped with mortars? Why can they bombard our camp?" Yoshika Ryosuke asked the subordinate next to him very puzzled.
But his subordinates could not answer this question. Only one of them thought for a while and said: "I learned from the Fifth Division before that some of the enemy's mortar units are equipped with new mortars, whose range can reach Five or six kilometers, which is almost the same as a small-caliber mountain cannon."
Yoshika Ryosuke took a deep breath, and then said: "Order the troops to immediately move the camp five kilometers away from Cangyun Peak."
The Japanese army moved their camp in the middle of the night. The long march gave them little time to rest, and now they were even more exhausted.
Even in the second half of the night, many Japanese soldiers found it difficult to fall asleep. After all, the scene of the mortar blasting the bodies of their comrades to pieces was still vivid in their minds. They don't know when the enemy's mortar shells will fall on them.
The Japanese army, which had been struggling all night, did not start preparing for the attack until around nine o'clock the next morning.
They occupied a high ground to the north of Cangyun Peak, and then attempted to set up an artillery position on it. However, as soon as these artillerymen set up the fort, they were bombarded by the mortars of the mortar squadron and retreated from the top of the mountain. They could only pull the artillery out of the range of the mortar squadron.
The Japanese infantry had no choice but to rush forward without artillery fire cover.
This made Li Yunlong extremely happy. In the past, when they attacked the Japanese army, they were bombarded by Japanese mortars. Now the tide has turned, and they can also bomb the charging Japanese infantry.
"It's great! Old Zhao, look at the little Japs walking this way with their backs bent. Isn't this what we were back then? Sticking our buttocks out and letting the Japs' cannonballs explode, there is nothing we can do." Li Yunlong used a telescope, Look at the Japanese skirmishers advancing here.
Zhao Gang also said: "It's good to have cannons. From such a distance, we can suppress the firepower of the little devils. If this happened before, we would have to wait until the little devils rush into our faces before we dare to shoot."
"Ouch!! Another one was killed. This mortar is very powerful. It can fly five or six kilometers with one shot, but it is much farther than the cannon Shuanzi used before." Li Yunlong looked at it with a telescope. , said with a laugh.
The Japanese army's advance was very difficult. It was not until their mountain artillery position found a position where the mortars could not find it that they began to advance rapidly under the cover of artillery fire.
If it had been before, they would have summoned the heavy artillery regiment to bombard Cangyun Peak with heavy artillery. But now it's no longer possible. The heavy artillery wing is in an embarrassing situation of shortage of artillery shells, and it will take some time before it can provide artillery support.
They can only use small-caliber mountain artillery for fire support.
As the Japanese artillery shells bombarded the Cangyun Peak position, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment hid in the dug tunnels.
They started digging this tunnel after they occupied Cangyun Peak. Until now, they have dug out a very huge space inside Cangyun Peak, which is enough for these soldiers to enter to avoid the Japanese bombardment.
Under the cover of dozens of artillery pieces, the Japanese infantry troops finally advanced to the foot of Cangyun Peak.
They are waiting quietly below. As soon as the shelling here ends, they will immediately start charging towards the top of the mountain.
About half an hour later, the Japanese mountain artillery bombardment finally came to an end.
Li Yunlong raised the Mauser pistol in his hand and said: "Brothers, enter the position immediately, wait until the little devils rush up, and beat them to death!!"
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment immediately entered the position.
They followed the dug trench and quickly entered the fighting position. The rifles and machine guns were then set up on top of the sandbags.
At this time, the Japanese army had already rushed to the mountainside.
These Japanese troops had already attacked Cangyun Peak once before, but at that time there were strong bunkers on Cangyun Peak, which made them suffer a lot. Now that there were no more of those bunkers, they were no longer afraid.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment hid in the trench and were not in a hurry to shoot at the Japanese troops below. Instead, they were waiting for the Japanese troops to approach.
After they entered a range of two hundred meters, the light and heavy machine guns set up at this time began to roar.
The flying bullets hit the charging Japanese soldiers amidst bursts of whistling sounds.
These Japanese troops were quite patient and attacked from the flanksThe troops began to approach little by little, and the Japanese troops on the front also took advantage of the gaps in firepower to alternately cover and charge towards the top of Cangyun Peak's position.
At this time, the Japanese heavy machine gun positions in the rear also began to fire violently at Cangyun Peak.
The firepower from both sides was exchanging fire, and soldiers continued to fall. The Japanese grenades also began to show their power at this time, focusing on the machine gun fire points.
Those veterans of the Japanese army were very skilled in operating grenade launchers. It almost only takes two shots to hit the target accurately.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment are also unambiguous. They have fought against the Japanese army many times and have accumulated a wealth of experience.
When they fought with the Japanese army before, they were very stingy with bullets. Generally, after a battle, a soldier only had about ten bullets to use.
Therefore, in terms of firepower, the soldiers of the independent regiment were often suppressed by the firepower of the Japanese army, and thus suffered greater casualties than the Japanese army.
But now they don't need to be stingy with any ammunition, because Xia Yang has provided them with enough ammunition supplies, so that each of the independent regiment soldiers at this time is basically guaranteed to have about 200 rounds of bullets.
So many bullets are basically the same as the ammunition carried by the Japanese infantry. This gave the soldiers of the Independent Regiment a great feeling.
In less than ten minutes after the war started, they fired more bullets than they had fired in the previous hour.
The Japanese army saw that they were in the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army before and thought they would be easier to deal with. Unexpectedly, their firepower was not inferior to the troops of the Fourth Army.
Despite this, the Japanese advance was still resolute. The forward troops rushed forward desperately, and each team carried out a wave-like advance attack with clear division of labor. Some were responsible for fire cover, and some were responsible for assault.
And in the rear, their reserve troops also began to attack the mountain one wave after another.
Cangyun Peak now no longer has the extremely strong fortresses before, and Ji Jialiang will no longer be afraid. He wanted to recapture this highland before dark today, and then quickly return to support the two regiments they had left deep in Taibai Mountain.
