At this moment, the soldiers of Regiment 336 began to emerge from the cat ear holes.
The Japanese had already climbed halfway up the mountain.
As the two flares were raised, the heavy machine guns set up at the front line began to spit out tongues of fire. The rifles also began to shoot at the Japanese halfway up the mountain.
When the Japanese saw the bright sky, they immediately laid down on the mountainside.
However, a portion of the Japanese were still killed in an instant.
The Japanese soldiers lying prone on the mountainside also began to fire at the top of the mountain to suppress the enemy.
At the same time, the Japanese's machine gun positions at the foot of the mountain also began to open fire to cover the infantry.
Under the night sky, the intense gunfire was going on crazily. The bullets fired by the 336th Regiment's machine gun position on the top of the mountain formed tongues of fire, and after every three rounds, a tracer bullet would be fired.
The tracers would form a ray of light in the night sky, allowing the machine gunners to see the location of the Japanese and shoot effectively.
Flare after flare landed on the Japanese's head. The dense bullets danced in the night sky, causing the Japanese to be utterly defeated.
Moreover, the mortars also began to bombard the Japanese's machine gun positions. This caused the Japanese's attack to be greatly hindered. Half an hour had passed, but the Japanese still had not broken through the mountainside!
The faces of the two captains were covered in sweat because Yoshida Akihide and the rest of the troops were about to reach the general's temple!
When Yoshida Akihide learned that the two infantry battalions had been stopped at the Shogun Temple, he quickly brought his troops over.
He did not expect that the two elite infantry squads would not only lose more than 900 people, but they were also stuck halfway up the mountain!
Moreover, a mortar squadron was also lost!
Yoshida Akihide didn't criticize the two captains because he understood that it wasn't that the two captains were incompetent, but that the enemy's strength had completely exceeded his expectations.
"Colonel, the enemy's firepower is too strong. It's estimated that they have a regiment and an artillery company, and their marksmanship is too good!”
The two Japanese captains immediately reported the situation to Yoshida Akihide.
As for the firepower of a regiment, it was the Japanese who came to this conclusion based on the number of machine guns and the intensity of the rifle fire.
However, they did not expect that there were only two companies standing in front of them!
Yoshida Akihide did not doubt the judgment of the two captains at all. He believed in their experience!
Yoshida Akihide touched his chin and said,""According to the Special Higher Police's intelligence, this place only has the 336th Regiment of Lan Yang, and there are no traces of other troops moving around. Could it be that the one on the General's Temple is the main force of the 336th Regiment?”
The two captains looked at each other and nodded."It should be!"
"Order the troops to build a position. The artillery position must be completed as soon as possible!
Since he had encountered the Blue Sun Tribe here, he could not let him off!”Akihide Yoshida ordered decisively.
……
In the temporary command center of the 336th Regiment.
The news of the 67th regiment's arrival had already reached Lan Yang's ears.
The Japanese were also very smart. They did not attack rashly, but began to build an offensive position.
"The permanent division is indeed an elite force. Even in the face of defeat, they will still calmly build their positions. We must learn from them.”Lan Yang put down his binoculars and said to Jiang Si.
"Regiment Commander, our soldiers can do it too!”Jiang Si replied.
"I'm not just talking about building a trench line, I'm talking about deepening the soldiers 'combat awareness!”Lan Yang said.
Jiang Siwei nodded and suddenly asked,""Regiment Commander, should we launch a full-scale attack while the Japanese are still unstable?”
"Don't worry, we need to find the Japanese artillery positions!”Lan Yang replied.
Half an hour later, a huge balloon slowly rose into the air. This was an artillery reconnaissance balloon. The Japanese's artillery position was completed.
There was a basket under the balloon. There were two Japanese people inside as observers, and there was a rope below to firmly secure the balloon.
Moreover, there was a cable connection between the balloon and the artillery position, which could be used for telephone communication and accurately report the enemy's position to the artillery at the first moment.
However, Lan Yang did not care about this. The balloon was filled with flammable and explosive hydrogen. In Lan Yang's eyes, this was a huge bomb!
However, for the other troops of Yan Huang, they did not have the means to effectively destroy the observation balloon. This balloon was a nightmare!
At this moment, the special forces team members behind the enemy lines reported the detailed location of the Japanese artillery position to Lan Yang.
"Tell the Artillery Battalion that when the Japanese observation balloon is destroyed, bombard the coordinates!”Lan Yang quickly gave the order and asked Monk Wei to bring the M24 sniper rifle over.
Seeing Lan Yang find a spot to set up the sniper rifle, Jiang Si asked curiously,""Guild Leader, what are you planning to do?”
