    The Japanese troops were advancing rapidly. They thought they were unaware of the enemy. After all, there was no moonlight today and it was difficult to spot them in the shadow of the hillside.

    But at this moment, two flares rose into the air, illuminating them.

    Seeing this scene, the Japanese troops were stunned for a moment, but immediately realized that their actions had been discovered.  They did not choose to retreat, but rushed forward with a roar.

    They are huge in numbers, thousands of them spread out on the hillside with a width of only more than 500 meters, like a swarm of locusts swarming up.

    The soldiers of the second battalion started shooting. Their light and heavy machine gun firepower had been strengthened.  Ma Siyuan expected that their resistance would be under great pressure, so he specially transferred some extra heavy machine guns from the Mongolian Ancient City to support them.

    Tracer bullets pierced the night sky, leaving a trail in the sky.  Following the marked trajectory, the shooter of the heavy machine gun began to adjust the designed angle, firing short bursts and strafing at the Japanese troops below.

    Although the Japanese soldiers were all elite, there was no artillery support at this time, so they could only rush upward against the heavy rain of bullets.  Such casualties were huge. In just over ten minutes, dozens of their soldiers had turned into corpses and been dragged to the rear.

    "Mortars!! Release smoke bombs to provide cover for our attack." The captain of the Japanese offensive team loudly used a walkie-talkie to shout to the Japanese mortar squadron behind.

    After the mortar squadron heard this, they immediately began to adjust the firing angle of the muzzle and fire smoke grenades to the other side.

    These smoke bombs can effectively block the sight of the machine gunners in the bunker above. After these machine gunners lose their targets, their hit rate will drop rapidly.  In this way, they can effectively reduce their own casualties while reaching the bunker group above.

    As the smoke screen rose, the Japanese soldiers got up one after another, began to get into the smoke screen, and continued to charge.

    But what they don¡¯t know is that the heavy machine gunners over there are basically equipped with infrared night vision devices.  Through the detection of infrared signals in the smoke bombs, they could easily detect the area where Japanese soldiers gathered, and then conduct short bursts and strafing.

    "But the Japanese soldiers in the smoke screen didn't know this. They thought they were relatively safe, so they got up one after another and began to charge in a ladder-like manner.

    "Kill those turtles!! Don't let them get close to the bunker!!" the second battalion commander shouted, asking his machine gunners to focus on shooting the Japanese troops hiding in the smoke screen.

    This move worked immediately, and the Japanese soldiers who were immersed in the charge soon fell to the ground like mowing grass.

    After a short while, the Japanese vanguard team found that there were dozens of people in their team, and after a while, less than half of them were still charging.  At this time, in the smoke screen, they could not see the specific situation clearly, so they could only continue to rush forward.

    But when their remaining soldiers broke out of the smoke screen, they saw a large number of Japanese corpses outside the smoke screen.  Those were Japanese soldiers who were shot dead with rifles not long after they broke out of the smoke screen.  More Japanese soldiers fell into the smoke and became dead souls under machine guns.

    After attacking for a long time, the Japanese captain in the rear realized something was wrong before he saw any troops rushing to the bunker group above.  He hurriedly ordered his soldiers not to charge through the smoke screen in such a hurry.

    When the smoke screen gradually dissipated, the Japanese captain suddenly discovered that in the areas originally covered by the smoke screen, fifty or sixty Japanese corpses were lying in random directions.  In front of the smoke screen, near the group of bunkers, there were also more than a dozen corpses of Japanese soldiers.

    ¡°Obviously, the sharp knife squads they charged with were all killed by heavy machine guns in the smoke screen.  Those who managed to survive were shot dead by riflemen.

    "Your Excellency, Captain, the enemy seems to be able to ignore the smoke screens and shoot directly at our charging soldiers. I apply to suspend the attack. The enemy's night fighting capabilities are much stronger than we imagined." The captain here immediately told the 7th Wing  The commander of the team reported the situation.

    Asahi Shiro also noticed the situation on the flanks. The enemy not only discovered the troops sneaking in the dark night, but even the people hidden in the smoke screen were unable to hide.

    Before he came here, he had already heard from his colleagues in the 114th Division that these enemies were equipped with a lot of powerful equipment.  Some equipment has even exceeded their understanding, such as the Gatling machine gun with an extremely high rate of fire. Just thinking about the time in Xiongfeng Ridge, they can recall the weapons dominated by the Gatling heavy machine gun.fear.

    Now Asahi Shiro has seen the enemy's advanced equipment. From the current point of view, this enemy should be equipped with equipment that can see through the night and smoke screens.

    He was thinking that he would deal with the enemies on the mountain no matter what, then seize their equipment, and then send them back for the people in the equipment department to study carefully.

    Then, he issued an order for the troops to retreat temporarily.  At the same time, he also asked the reconnaissance troops to dispatch again and began to conduct reconnaissance around Cangyun Peak to see if there was any path that could bypass this place.

    Otherwise, without the support of mountain artillery and other weapons, if they were to attack by force, the casualties would be too great.  And according to the current situation, it may not be possible to win this position tonight.

    When the mixed brigade of Shijiajing Zuoyi was resting in Guanhegou, Ma Siyuan's second division did not stop.

    The troops of a brigade they had set up directly in front of Guanhe Valley had begun to quietly transfer and began to approach the Japanese army in the valley.

    They were scattered on the mountains on both sides, pushing forward from the mountains on both sides, and then merged with the two regiments originally stationed on both sides.

    As a result, the Japanese army's plan to attack the mountains on both sides was completely ruined.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
