    More than ten mortars were concentrated on the hillsides on both sides, and they bombarded the Japanese troops on the road below.

    More than a dozen artillery shells landed directly on the Japanese troops on the road.  The Japanese troops, who originally formed a long queue, were immediately cut in half.  Some Japanese soldiers were unlucky and were sent directly to the sky by these mortar shells to meet their beloved Emperor.

    Before the shells fell, bullets from light and heavy machine guns, as well as various rifles, had already burst towards them from the hillsides on both sides through the dense jungle.

    "Look for bunkers! Organize a counterattack! Pay attention to the enemy firepower on the hillsides on both sides." Ichiro Sakurai pulled out his command sword and roared loudly.

    Although the fierce firepower of Ma Siyuan's troops on both sides of the hillside temporarily stunned the Japanese troops who entered Taohuagou.

    "But this Japanese army had experienced hundreds of battles and reacted immediately. Under the orders of commanders at all levels, they began to look for bunkers, and then planned attacks on the hillsides on both sides.

    Sakurai Ichiro hid behind a boulder, took out the map and checked it, and then said: "Send out a squadron to occupy this high point. After taking this high ground, immediately arrange the heavy machine gun and mortar squads."  Go up and suppress the enemy's firepower around them."

    After finishing speaking, he added: "At the same time, send people to meet the automobile troops in the rear. Many of our supplies are there. If the automobile troops are destroyed, we will not be able to sustain it for too long.

    ??Also, contact Major Montenegro immediately and ask their troops to return immediately to help us put offensive pressure on the enemy on the periphery, find breakthroughs, and help us break through or even counterattack.  "

    These orders were quickly conveyed.

    After receiving the order, the Japanese army began to act according to the plan.

    The high point to be attacked is a high ground in the middle of Taohua Valley. It can be regarded as the highest point on the hillside near Taohua Valley. Once this is seized, it can suppress the people around Ma Siyuan from a long distance.

    Before the ambush, Ma Siyuan also realized the importance of this high ground and sent a well-equipped company to guard it.

    Stationed here is the 7th Company of Liu Chaoliu of the Second Brigade, who is also an experienced veteran.

    "Company commander, the kid is charging towards us." A soldier ran over and said.

    After hearing this, Liu Chaoliu immediately picked up the telescope and said, "I saw it."

    "With the strength of a squadron, the Japs are quite ruthless." Liu Chaoliu said, then he shouted to the soldiers next to him: "Brothers, the Japs are coming up, get ready to do something. Use your heads."  Pin it to the waistband of your trousers, if anyone gets scared, I will be the first to castrate him."

    The soldiers over there immediately shouted: "Don't worry!"

    There are three heavy machine guns specially arranged on the high ground, and a mortar team is also at this location.

    The person leading the attack of this squadron was Captain Suzuki.

    When they arrived at the bottom of this hillside, they first found a bunker and were not in a hurry to attack directly above.  Instead, observers were first sent out to use telescopes to mark the firepower configuration on the high ground.

    This is a common method used by the Japanese army, so that when they attack, they will look for blind spots with heavy firepower such as heavy machine guns to avoid casualties to the greatest extent.  Not only that, they can also use grenade launchers and other weapons to focus on these heavy firepowers.

    Liu Chaoliu and the others have all received training in officer training courses and have a general understanding of the Japanese army's offensive and defensive methods.

    So when you see the little devils below sticking their butts out and hiding in the ravine without moving, you know that they must be investigating their heavy firepower configuration.

    Liu Chaoliu said: "Tell the heavy machine gun that after the little devils start charging, they will immediately transfer the firepower point. Don't let the little devils figure out the position of the heavy machine gun. Otherwise, they can knock out a firepower point with one grenade."

    Liu Chaoliu has a full understanding of the Jaap¡¯s grenade.  Some veterans of the Little Devil are very skilled in the control of grenades. Basically, as long as they are within the range, the first two rounds adjust the trajectory, and the third round can hit the target.

    It is precisely because of this that Liu Chaoliu allowed his heavy machine guns to be appropriately transferred on the position.

    More than ten minutes later, the Suzuki Squadron's reconnaissance of the high ground was almost complete.  They marked the location of the firepower points in detail, as well as the approximate number of people stationed on them.

    "There are three Maxim heavy machine guns and the number of light machine guns is at least about five.  There should be a mortar team on their high ground, with about a hundred people stationed there, with fierce firepower and extreme caution.  "

    Suzuki looked at it, and then began to assign offensive tasks to each team.

    Their offense is very structured, and the division of labor of each team is very clear.  There are heavy machine gun teams responsible for suppressing fire, feint teams responsible for attracting fire from the front, and troops responsible for outflanking from the side.

    And within these offensive teams, there is also a clear division of labor.

    For example, there are those who are responsible for using grenades to knock out firepower points such as heavy machine guns and light machine guns.  There are also some soldiers with good marksmanship who are responsible for sniping and killing the commander on the opposite high ground.

    Suzuki has a certain degree of confidence in capturing this high ground, because when they fought against the Jinsui Army before, they had encountered troops with similar firepower configuration.  Their squadron defeated that company with basically no effort.

    With this thought in mind, his troops had already begun to attack.

    On the other side, Sakurai Ichiro pulled his younger brother Sakurai over and said loudly: "Sakurai, you lead the people forward, we will provide you with fire cover, be sure to go back to the enemy's side from that opening, and before they  The flank forms an attack surface, it¡¯s best to attack that hillside, we will provide you with sufficient cover.¡±

    Hearing this, Sakurai nodded, and immediately led a squadron of troops, using the cover of the woods, to quickly detour towards the hillside over there.

    At this time, Major Kuroyama on the periphery had also received the distress signal from Sakurai.  Naturally, he would not leave Sakurai Ichiro alone, and immediately said: "The troops obey my order and return immediately to rescue Captain Sakurai Ichiro."

    After he said this, he led more than 500 people under his command and turned towards the direction of Taohuagou.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
