The two Japanese infantry battalions had about 2,000 soldiers, while the two companies of the 336th Regiment only had about 300 soldiers. With such a huge difference in strength, Jiang Siwei was very worried that the two companies would not be able to hold on for so long.
After training for so long, Lan Yang knew very well what level the soldiers had reached.
However, more than half of the soldiers in the 336th Regiment had never been on the battlefield. They needed to be baptized in blood before they could officially grow!
From Lan Yang's perspective, the 67th Regiment was a whetstone that would sharpen the 336th Regiment's true combat strength!
However, Lan Yang didn't know how many soldiers would die here tonight.
The night shrouded the land, and a cunning light poured down. One could vaguely see the billowing dust in the distance.
On the five mountains of the General Temple, the soldiers of the two companies were very nervous. They looked at the Japanese running over from afar with solemn expressions.
On the two opposite mountains, there were command posts for two companies. At this moment, the command post was dark, and pairs of sharp eyes were looking outside.
On the five mountains, every soldier holding a weapon was focused on the Japanese in the distance.
As the battle approached, they calmed down instead.
The sound of footsteps came from afar.
Under the pure white moonlight, the figure of the Japanese became clearer and clearer.
"Attack!"
As the order was given, the demolition team pulled the fuse first. Anti-infantry mines flew out of the road and exploded in the Japanese team.
Flare also shot up in the sky, illuminating the sky as bright as day. Then, dense gunfire sounded, and countless bullets rained on the Japanese. In an instant, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.
After the battle began, the soldiers of the two companies put their worries about the unknown fate to the bottom of their hearts.
They realized that as long as they fired like they usually did during training, the arrogant Japanese would be killed!
"My marksmanship is really that accurate!”A veteran pulled the trigger crazily and killed five Japanese in one breath. This made him very excited.
The soldiers beside him were also very excited. It turned out that the Japanese were not much different from targets!
Even Lan Yang didn't expect the recruits of Regiment 336 to be so confident when they just started fighting.
With the support of his beginner level warlord halo, the soldiers 'marksmanship and morale had increased significantly.
As soon as the battle began, the soldiers of the 336th Regiment had the advantage. They also had anti-infantry mines. The Japanese suffered huge losses.
However, the Japanese were quick to react. They either lay prone on the road or began to look for cover to counterattack.
The Japanese team leaders and commanders began to organize themselves. Then, they set up light and heavy machine guns in an attempt to suppress the firepower on the mountain top and cover the retreat of the troops from the ambush circle.
The national army had already set up an ambush position. If they fought the other party in the middle of the road, they would be courting death.
The Japanese soldiers in the permanent division were all elites. The rear team quickly changed to the front team. The original front team suppressed the fire while slowly retreating from the ambush circle.
Although the Japanese reacted quickly, the sudden attack still left more than 700 corpses behind.
The loss of more than 700 people was a huge blow to the two Japanese infantry units.
The captains of the two infantry battalions had gloomy expressions as they gathered together to discuss what they should do next.
Fifteen minutes later, the Japanese decided to first find out the position of the national army, then the two battalions split up and attacked along the hills on both sides of the road.
The battle started again!
Although the two infantrymen of the 67th regiment did not carry heavy weapons, they still brought some grenade launchers and mortars.
After the Japanese locked onto the front line of the mountain, they immediately fired their artillery. Explosions continued to ring out.
Just as the Japanese were about to fire, the commanders of the two companies had already ordered the soldiers to hide in the cat ear holes.
As the Japanese started firing, the infantry also started attacking.
Under the cover of the night, they quickly rushed to the top of the mountain.
"Artillery platoon! Attack and suppress the Japanese's artillery fire!”
The two company commanders in the company command center gave the order to fire at the same time.
Although the 336th Regiment did not have enough infantry cannons for each company, they still had mortars.
At this moment, the two mortar platoons had already locked onto the Japanese artillery position at the foot of the mountain.
After receiving the order to fire, the mortars began a round of rapid fire.
The two artillery platoons were hidden on the slope behind the forward position, and there were artillery bunkers.
The sound of firing rang out continuously. The artillery slid the shells into the barrels skillfully, then turned around and lowered their heads to pick up another cannon and put it into the barrels again.
Everything was done smoothly.
The Japanese artillery at the foot of the mountain did not have time to dodge after hearing the sound of the artillery shells. A large number of artillery shells landed on the Japanese artillery positions and made a loud explosion.
The Japanese's mortars turned into scrap metal in the first round of bombardment. More and more mortar shells fell, and the continuous explosions destroyed the Japanese's artillery positions!
