The team leader couldn't understand.

The three signal flares must have been attacked by the National Salvation Army, but the investigator did not find the enemy situation around him, so he couldn't understand why.

"Boom boom boom..." The explosion from behind him suddenly woke him up.

Turning his head, he saw a large fireball rising from the air from the road.

Among the dense fireballs, many soldiers were blown up and blown away, and several large trucks with supplies and ammunition were destroyed. The mules and horses that were pulling the large trucks seemed to be frightened, dragging the large trucks with supplies and running around on the road, further aggravating the chaos of the troops.

The dense and violent explosion lasted for a full five seconds before stopping. The orderly team had just become chaotic, especially the team covered by artillery fire, whose troops were reduced by one third, and Japanese corpses were everywhere around the craters, and severely injured people screaming.

The captain of the regiment was stunned by the bombing. He had fought many wars, but he rarely encountered such fierce artillery fire.

Even if I encountered it, it was the first time that the Imperial Army had bombed the Chinese army and had been attacked by so many artillery on the Chinese battlefield at the same time.

"Boom..."

Before he could react from the shock, the second round of explosions had already sounded behind him.

The intensity is less than that before.

Wherever the captain's eyes went, there were splattering flames, bombed ammunition boxes, mud, soldiers' bodies, broken limbs and broken arms... bloody and tragic.

The artillery staff first reacted and reported with fear after finding the corps captain: "Captain, the National Salvation Army has assembled at least forty artillery pieces to attack us, most of which are mortars. The troops must leave here immediately, otherwise we will definitely suffer heavy casualties!"

The captain of the regiment became anxious as soon as he heard this.

The mortar fires fast, and more than 40 artillery can shoot at least 400 shells in one minute. If one shell kills one of his subordinates, two more squadrons of soldiers will be killed in battle.

On a chaotic battlefield, a shell must not only kill one's own subordinates.

If these shells were allowed to hit the middle of the team, more than half of the team of more than a thousand people would be injured or killed in less than two minutes.

Hurry up and order: "The team covered by artillery fire immediately dispersed and retreated and left there."

"The troops not covered by artillery fire quickly bypassed the artillery fire coverage area of ​​the National Salvation Army, and then continued to rush forward and leave this area as quickly as possible!"

After hearing this, more than a dozen messengers scattered and prepared to spread the command of the regiment captain's just now to the team that was more than a thousand meters long.

The wing captain continued to rush forward under the escort of the guards...

"Baob...daob..." A string of gunshots suddenly rang out on the hills on both sides of the highway.

That was the early warning gunfire fired by the reconnaissance force. When the corps leader heard this, he ordered the troops to stop and frowned and shouted: "No, some troops are coming towards us. Listening to the early warning gunfire just now, the enemy has a lot of troops."

"Sir, something happened!" A scream suddenly rang in front of the regiment captain.

A lieutenant rushed towards him with a anxious look on his face, shouting as he ran: "There is a national rescue army blocking the road ahead, with at least two companies of troops!"

"They suddenly emerged from behind the hills in front of us and built a blocking position in front of us. According to your order, we did not launch an attack immediately. Please send artillery troops to support us. After the artillery bombed, we will attack again!"

After hearing this, the captain of the regiment exclaimed: "No, the national rescue army wants to wipe us out here."

"First bombard us with a group of mortars, and then send troops to surround us. This is to eat us in one bite!"

"Get a mortar squadron right away to cover the attack."

"The blocking position that the National Salvation Army hastily built will definitely not be too strong. As long as we concentrate our mortars and bombard them, it will definitely damage the National Salvation Army that blocks the road. Then we will send troops to force breakthroughs and strive to end the battle with an attack."

A major next to him was about to make arrangements, but the artillery staff suddenly raised an objection: "Captain of the corps, I'm worried that there is too much time to go!"

"Our artillery and baggage troops are just in the artillery fire coverage area, which has been blown up in a mess. Many soldiers have even lost artillery. It is too difficult to get them to join the war immediately. It takes a lot of time to gather troops and snatch artillery from the artillery fire area!"

The wing captain responded quickly and immediately changed the order: "Then launch an attack directly. If there is no mortar, use a grenade launcher. As long as there are enough numbers, the lethality of the grenade launcher is no less than that of a mortar!"

"Kill and give it to..." More than a hundred Japanese soldiers held guns and held light machine guns, and went crazy to kill the blocking position that the 12th Company of the Unique Battalion was still repairing.

The soldiers waving the shovel did not see them, and continued to hide behind the cover and dig out the soil.

The Japanese who saw this scene felt that they were humiliated.

The National Salvation Army seemed to not take them seriously at all. Their eyes turned red in an instant, and they were about to teach them a lesson with the rifle and bayonet in their hands.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The dull sound of heavy machine guns instantly shattered the dreams of more than one hundred Japanese devils.

Two heavy machine guns were installed on each hill on both sides of the highway, and two heavy machine guns were installed on the highway, and a total of six heavy machine guns were fired at them together.

Six tongues of flames intertwined, forming an airtight firepower net in front of the Japanese army.

Before the Japanese in front had time to react, they were shot into a sieve by bullets flying towards them and fell heavily to the ground without even screaming, and they died.

"The National Salvation Army has heavy machine guns, lie down quickly and hide..." The squadron leader shouted with pain.

The heavy machine gun had too much lethality. In just two or three seconds, all the subordinates in the front two rows died, and many soldiers in the third row fell to the ground.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The dull heavy machine gun strafing sound did not stop because the Japanese lay down, especially the four heavy machine guns that were set on the hills.

They were condescending and continued to shoot at the Japanese back.

Listening to the screams that kept ringing in his ears, the squadron leader, who was heartbroken, shouted anxiously: "Why don't the grenade launcher still shoot? If they don't shoot, we will be killed!"

The second lieutenant who was following him immediately reminded: "Sir, the heavy machine gun is too far away from us, and the grenade cannon cannot reach them!"

"And... our grenade launcher was also targeted by them. Once they looked up, they would be killed. There was no chance to shoot at all!"

"Retreat..." The squadron leader gritted his teeth and was unwilling to accept his order, because only in this way can the casualties of the troops be minimized.

But once the troops retreated, it also means that all the subordinates who had just died in battle were in vain.

The wing captain happened to witness the scene of the attacking troops being massacred by heavy machine guns.

A fully-organized infantry squadron had more than half of the casualties before rushing to the front of the opponent's blocking position.

Fortunately, they retreated in time. If they were two minutes later, they would not even have a chance to retreat.

"Sir, the firepower of the intercepting troops is too strong. The infantry will definitely not be able to rush over without artillery cover!" A major analyzed with concern.

Another master immediately retorted: "We can't rush over with artillery fire support. The enemy who attacked us was equipped with more than forty artillery pieces, almost twice our number. After we fired, they will definitely fight back."

"Not only can't capture the front blocking positions, but it will also lose a large number of artillery."

The Major who spoke at the beginning was very unwilling to accept his wish and shouted: "What should we do? Are we blocked here and waiting to die..."

"Captain of the wing, there are enemies on our left wing who are coming towards the highway..." A lieutenant ran over to interrupt.

"Sir, the National Salvation Army rushing over from the right wing is about to rush over. As long as they occupy the two hills and high ground on the right, they can attack us!"

"Hills and Highlands?" The captain of the regiment suddenly woke up.

After grabbing the telescope in the guard's hand, he looked at the left and right wings of the army.

It was already dawn at this time, and the team leader could see several vague shadows of the high ground.

Although several hills are not high, they are indeed the only commanding heights on both sides of the highway.

If all of them were occupied by the National Salvation Army, the entire highway would be within their firepower coverage, and everyone would not even have a place to hide, so they could only be beaten passively.

"We must seize several high grounds around us in front of the National Salvation Army, and buy time for the troops to break through the front blocking positions, otherwise we will be attacked from both sides and be surrounded and annihilated by the National Salvation Army!" The captain of the regiment immediately made a decision.

"We have four high grounds around us, each of which draws an infantry squadron, strengthens two mortars and two heavy machine guns, quickly seizes them, and then defends until we break through the blocking position ahead!"

"The other troops are all moving closer to me and break through the front blocking positions at all costs."

To the east of the highland, a unit was running forward frantically.

The fourth battalion commander Chen Zhong ran in the middle of the team, shouting, "Hurry up! The high ground is right in front of you, you must still occupy it in front of the Japanese, otherwise we will seize it through strong attacks, and the casualties will definitely be very large!"

To the west of the highland, a squadron of Japanese devils were also rushing to the top of the mountain.

Because the road is very close to the hill, their assault distance is much shorter than that of the Fourth Battalion.

When the Japanese rushed to the foot of the mountain, the Fourth Camp was nearly a hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain.

This means that when the Japanese occupied the top of the mountain, the fourth camp rushed to the middle of the mountain.

The Japanese squadron leader obviously realized this, and as he ran, a smile flashed out of the corner of his mouth.

"Everyone is ready to fight. After taking the top of the mountain, they immediately launched a counterattack against the National Savior Army that seized the high ground. The machine gunners fired, and the riflemen threw grenades, severely damaging the enemy."

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of explosions suddenly rang in the ears of the squadron leader, and at least ten subordinates were blown away in the splash of flames. The squadron leader himself was pushed to the ground by the air waves generated by the explosion of the shells, and he fell a dog to eat shit.

The squadron leader was blinded by the bombing. Before he could react from his shock, the second round of shells had fallen from the sky.

"Boom boom boom..."

The explosion was still ringing in his ears, and since this round of artillery bombings, the previous round of explosions had not stopped, and the new round of explosions rang out, endlessly...

The squadron leader lay on the ground. Although there were no shells hitting him, he could feel the shell fragments flying above his head. If he raised his head a little, the fragments would blow his head!
