Chapter 56: The Battle of Nanling Blockade (8)

  "Rat-a-tat-a..." Under the enemy battalion commander's orders, over a dozen light machine guns, operated by Shanxi soldiers, began to lay down suppressive fire. Although at this time the warriors were in a commanding position and had geographical advantages, the Shanxi army quickly suppressed the three light machine guns on the high ground due to their large numbers of machine guns. Only one heavy machine gun left in the bunker was able to reap the lives of the Shanxi soldiers with limited harvests.

  "Brothers, charge, charge into the Red Army's position, a reward of 20 big ocean (silver dollars), charge...". Under the leadership of commanders who didn't care about their lives, the Shanxi-Suiyuan army soldiers on the mountain slope took advantage of the moment when the enemy's machine gun fire was suppressed and trampled over the bodies of their comrades to launch an even more fierce charge.

  "Comrades, hand grenades. Use hand grenades to wipe out these enemies..." As the Shanxi soldiers approached, Guo Chengzhu did not flinch, dropped his submachine gun, grabbed two hand grenades, pulled the ring, delayed for three seconds, and threw them into the enemy crowd at close range.

  Due to the warriors' high position, 20 meters away, almost every warrior easily threw a hand grenade into the enemy group. While the Shanxi soldiers saw the Red Army at close range, no one could throw a hand grenade into the trenches where the warriors were due to the low terrain.

  "Boom, boom, boom..." A dense explosion sounded in the enemy crowd, and the smoke from the grenade explosion instantly surrounded the rapidly charging enemy army. A round of grenades exploded, and another round was thrown out until the soldiers had used up all the grenades on their bodies before stopping. They picked up the rifles beside them again, aimed at the smoky position, ready to shoot some fish that had escaped the net.

  As the smoke cleared, the scene in front of the position slowly and completely appeared before the soldiers. At this time, on the distance from 20 to 40 meters in front of the position, almost all the bodies of Shanxi soldiers were lying down, one after another, or scattered limbs and broken arms everywhere. What's more, among these corpses, countless wounded men kept writhing their bodies and let out waves of mournful cries.

  "Ah, my battalion..." The battalion commander stared blankly at the scene before him, unable to hold back a cry of surprise as he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell crookedly into the pool of blood. The machine gunners who were still continuously firing also stopped shooting almost simultaneously, picked up their guns and began to retreat. However, on the way of retreating, they were left in front of the position by the precise marksmanship of the soldiers without exception.

  A company of Shanxi soldiers, except for the dozens of wounded and sick who were crying in front of the position, and the dozens of soldiers who managed to escape. In less than ten minutes, they all fell under the guns of the warriors, and the whole army was destroyed. The company that guarded the position won a great victory at the same time, but also paid a great price. Under the dense sweep of the enemy's light and heavy machine guns, 43 soldiers in the company sacrificed their lives heroically, and 11 soldiers were seriously injured and could no longer continue to fight.

  And another group of warriors on the high ground, under the command of Instructor Xu Bin. Also paid the price of a squad, eliminated a company of Jin-Sui Army, successfully repelled the first charge of Jin-Sui Army.

  "Comrades, leave the observation post, withdraw immediately, quickly, withdraw..." Seeing the attacking enemy retreat in disarray. The two commanders with rich combat experience almost simultaneously ordered the soldiers to withdraw and defend against the enemy's retaliatory artillery fire.

  As the warriors carried the wounded and the bodies of their comrades, they withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner. Yang Yaofang, who had been standing at the foot of the mountain watching the battle, was now staring with his mouth agape, unable to believe what he was seeing. His own battalion and company's forces had been completely annihilated in less than ten minutes due to his underestimation of the enemy. At the same time, Yang Yaofang also realized that the Red Army's fighting strength on top of the mountain was incredibly powerful.

  "Pass on my order, instruct the artillery company to bombard the two high grounds for 20 minutes and thoroughly destroy the enemy's defensive position. After 20 minutes, the remaining four regiments, led by the two regimental commanders in person, will launch a charge against the Communist army's position. The division guard battalion will follow me to the front line to supervise the battle. This time I must capture the Communist army's position and let them bury those fallen brothers with their own men." Seeing the tragic scene before him, Division Commander Yang Yaofang clenched his fist tightly and gave a loud order to Brigade Commander Fang Kehou, who was also gaping at the scene.

  "Yes, sir. This time I will personally lead the assault team to take down the Communist army's position and avenge our fallen brothers..." Seeing that his brigade had lost nearly one-third of its strength in just one battle, Brigade Commander Fang Keyu was already furious. After hearing the division commander's order, he didn't say another word, picked up an assault rifle, and led the brigade guard company to charge towards the front line.

  "Boom, boom, boom..." A fierce explosion sounded, and the artillery company's bombardment began. With the experience of the first bombardment, this time's bombardment was even more intense and accurate. The dense shells accurately hit the trenches on the high ground, but at this moment, what made the Shanxi-Suiyuan army feel unexpected was that the soldiers on the high ground had almost completely withdrawn, and the dense artillery fire could hardly cause much harm to the special operations battalion.

  However, when everyone's attention was focused on the two heights, three rows of soldiers who had been lurking one kilometer away. With the help of the explosion of mortar shells, nearly a hundred people slowly approached the Jin-Sui army artillery position not far away.

  The enemy's artillery position, although guarded by a company of infantry. But one company with over 100 people, ultimately can only be divided into two platoons in one direction. And at this time, the eyes of the two platoons of Jin-Sui army soldiers in front of the warriors were basically attracted to the two highlands one kilometer away, and no one noticed that hundreds of meters away, the warriors were slowly approaching the highland.

  At last, more than 100 warriors, under the cover of artillery fire, slowly approached the artillery position of the Jin-Sui army. Just as the Jin-Sui army's bombardment was nearing its end, the warriors finally sneaked into a thicket 100 meters away from the artillery position. Each warrior was ready to go, waiting for the order to charge. At the same time, the muzzles of the 15 snipers also steadily aimed at more than 20 Jin-Sui army soldiers 100 meters away.

  "Dada... Charge! Brothers, charge! Avenge the fallen brothers, kill!" As the artillery fire ended, the 12 heavy machine guns of the Jin-Sui army, which were responsible for cover, began to spew out dense bullet rain. At the same time, more than two thousand soldiers also launched a group charge towards the top of the mountain under the command of the two regimental commanders.
