Started as a security team, developed into a heavy armored synthesis division

Looking at Captain Ogura who was standing in front of him like a dazed man, Lieutenant Commander Takeshita Yoshiharu was speechless.

Because of the presence of flares, he could see the battle of attacking Shiniushan clearly.

No, that cannot be called an attack, that is asking for a fight.

In just a few minutes, the opposite side fired hundreds of mortar shells and hundreds of grenade shells.

There were also light and heavy machine guns that fired like a rain of bullets, reaping the lives of their imperial warriors in large numbers.

All I can say is, it’s so tragic.

The opponent's firepower is too strong.

And it was he who gave the order for the infantry to attack just now.

Just this one order caused his First Infantry Battalion to lose two squadrons and directly deprived it of its combat effectiveness.

After all, a battalion has only four infantry squadrons, and the rest is only an infantry artillery squadron, as well as a transport squadron, a communication squadron, etc., which are logistics troops with no combat effectiveness.

Now these four infantry squadrons have lost half of their men at once. If the fighting continues, this battalion will most likely be defeated and wiped out.

That is something Yoshiharu Takeshita would never allow.

"Ogura-kun, go to the rear and rest."

After holding it in for a long time, Yoshiharu Takeshita said these words.

"Hi."

Luo Mo replied with a word, and Captain Ogura left. Until now, the whistling sound of the light mortar shells was still in his mind.

Boom, boom, boom boom boom!

The battle at Shiniushan ended quickly, but the battle at Beitangshan had not yet ended.

Shiniushan is a relatively small but steep mountain.

But Beitang Mountain is different. It is relatively large and consists of several flat hills.

Moreover, this location is on the north side of Lijiaopo, which is a relatively prominent position. If you are not careful, you will be besieged from multiple directions.

It was for this reason that Xiao Dingfang had previously reminded Monkey to be careful, as there are many defensive positions in Beitang Mountain.

"Give me the cock!"

In the direction of Beitang Mountain, Captain Nakamura, who was commanding on the front line, waved his sword and gave orders. His voice was loud and powerful, full of momentum.

Not only him, but also another captain of the 7th battalion of Kangtian was also in command. The two launched attacks on Beitang Mountain from the west and south respectively, and made good progress.

Why? Because with their heroic fighting and the powerful firepower of the Type 92 Infantry Gun, they had already captured two hills.

"Captain, why don't you defend those two hills? We can definitely defend them."

On Beitang Mountain, Pan Mengsheng, the company commander of the first battalion, asked in confusion.

In response, the monkey smiled and said, "Silly boy, what's the point of defending those two hills? Not only are they bare, but they don't have much territory. If you defend there, you will be bombarded."

Hearing this, Pan Mengsheng still spoke anxiously: "But Battalion Commander, those two hills are not far from us. If we let the Japanese infantry artillery go up, we will also be bombarded."

"Hehe, then why not just prevent his infantry guns from getting up there?

Look, I have a trick called "Luring the Enemy into a Trap", you can learn it from me."

It turned out that just after the battle started, Yuan Bing's right-hand man Lao Qi went up Beitang Mountain and found the monkey.

Lao Qi said that their K Battalion wanted to join the battle and cooperate with the First Battalion to directly wipe out the two battalions in one fell swoop.

When Monkey heard that they were going to eat up two large teams, he was confused. But when he heard Lao Qi's plan, it seemed like it was worth a try.

What if it succeeds, right?

Seeing that Pan Mengsheng still didn't understand, Monkey gave the order directly: "Old Pan, all of you go down the mountain now and hide to the east of the hill you just let go.

Once you see the red flare, you will launch a fierce attack on the Japanese and drive them towards the mountain, understand?"

"what?"

"What? Hurry up and follow the order. Remember, only launch a strong attack when you see the red flare."

"Yes."

Although he was confused, Lao Pan still carried out the order.

"Second Captain, your company should also hide on the north side of that hill. Similarly, when you see the red signal flare, launch a strong attack and drive the Japanese back to the hill."

"Yes."

"Brothers on the battlefield, keep firing! Open fire at full force to attract the Japanese's attention to the main battlefield."

So under Monkey's command, there was constant gunfire at the main position of Beitang Mountain.

Just because there were no flares, the bullet hit rate was very touching in the dark night.

"Nakamura-kun, I think we can push the infantry artillery up, put the infantry artillery of our two battalions together, and fire four guns at Beitang Mountain at the same time."

On the southern hill that the monkey had abandoned, General Nanata Koda and Lieutenant Colonel Nakamura began to talk.

"Yoshi, I thought so too.

Although there are dense gunshots on Beitang Mountain, the number of artillery is insufficient. As long as our infantry artillery fires together, we will be able to capture the Chinese position. "

"Yes, we are lucky. There is no heavy artillery fire here like at the Shiniu Mountain position. I don't know how Mr. Ogura is doing now."

The two of them sighed with emotion. After all, there was a lot of noise in the direction of Shiniushan just now, and they all saw it. They actually felt sympathy for Mr. Ogura.

As for the defenders on Beitang Mountain, they did not take them seriously. If the enemy had heavy firepower like mortars, the hill under their feet would not have been occupied by them.

All we can say is that they are confident and arrogant, and this problem will arise when they win too many battles.

So they quickly issued an order: "Order, the infantry artillery squad immediately push up the Type 92 infantry artillery. We are going to launch a general attack and must take Beitang Mountain in one fell swoop before dawn."

"Hi."

The order was given and quickly transmitted to the infantry artillery position. Then the infantry artillery team of dozens of people started moving, pushing the Type 92 infantry artillery and preparing to go up the hill.

Little did they know that there was a pair of eyes watching them from behind.

"Captain, the Japanese infantry artillery has moved, and their battle line is moving forward."

When Lao Qi reported, Yuan Bing smiled and said, "Finally they've made a move. If they hadn't made a move, I wouldn't have been able to take action.

The order is that the first and second combat teams go to the west to engage the enemy covertly, and I and the third and fourth combat teams go to the south to engage the enemy covertly.

The combat time is 15 minutes later, and the signal is a red flare.

When the flare goes up, you must kill all the Japanese that you can see, leaving no one behind, understand?"

"Yes!"

After the order was given, the members of Team K who were hiding in the bushes started to move, divided into groups, and then all followed the Japanese devils and moved forward.

Looking at the fierce fighting on Beitang Mountain and the constant sound of gunfire, Yoshiharu Takeshita felt very uncomfortable.

Although the Kokura Battalion suffered heavy losses in the battle, his Takeshita Regiment still had two reorganized battalions and an artillery squadron, and its combat effectiveness still existed, so he still wanted to fight.

However, his infantry artillery was suppressed by the mortars of Shiniushan. If the infantry attacked, the opponent's firepower would be too strong, and continuing to use infantry would be a waste of time.

"It seems that we can only apply for the use of field artillery."

With a sigh, Yoshiharu Takeshita started to take the Pianshan ferry back to the command post in Nangang.

The distance was not far, and he arrived soon.

"Colonel Takeshita, the fighting is fierce in the direction of Shiniu Mountain. What is the situation?"

Major General Sakai asked, and Takeshita Yoshiharu told him what had just happened, which shocked Sakai.

"General, I request the use of field artillery to launch an artillery attack on the Chinese soldiers in the direction of Shiniu Mountain."

After hearing this, Sakai pondered for a while and did not agree.

"Takeshita-kun, according to my intelligence, Xiao Dingfang has eight 105mm field guns.

That is why I concentrated our field artillery for use.

Therefore, our field artillery cannot move until the enemy's field artillery position is exposed.

Once we are exposed, we will suffer a devastating blow from the 105mm field artillery, do you understand?"

"Sikasi, General, if we don't use field artillery, we won't be able to take Shiniu Mountain.

They seem to have a light mortar in their hands. Although it is not as powerful as the 81mm mortar, it is much more powerful than the grenade launcher, and its range reaches 1400 meters. "

After hearing this, Sakai pondered for a while, and then said with a smile:

"In that case, let's suspend the attack on Shiniushan Mountain. As long as we can take Beitang Mountain, the effect will be the same."

Hearing this, Yoshiharu Takeshita felt very unwilling. Their regiment had replaced its equipment with the latest Type 99 rifles and light machine guns, and today was the debut of the new equipment.

As a result, after being bombarded and suffering heavy losses, they were gone, which was very frustrating.

However, at this moment, a red flare was launched from the direction of Beitang Mountain, and brilliant red fireworks exploded in the sky!
