Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Wang Chengzhu and others crouched on the hillock and looked around, but they saw shells flying from the city one after another, falling on the attack position of the Second Independent Regiment and exploding one after another.

Fortunately, although the discipline of the soldiers of the Second Independent Regiment seemed to be very loose, they chose positions very carefully.

Their formations were separated, and they were all on rocks, trees, or the edge of a slope.

Almost as soon as the devils started shelling, they immediately hid behind the bunker.

In addition, the artillery squadron of the 33rd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army consisted of a few Type [-] infantry artillery and a few mortars, with limited firepower, so it did not cause any casualties to the Second Independent Regiment.

A stern smile appeared on Li Yunlong's face: "It seems that these little devils really can't sit still, and they really want to take the initiative to attack.

It's just that this group of guys actually took Zhuzi's independent second regiment as the target of attack. "

"I just don't know how many troops they will dispatch."

Ding Wei said: "I estimate that the devils will dispatch a brigade of troops at most."

After a pause, Ding Wei changed the subject and added: "Of course, if their attack works, maybe they will send more troops to try to wipe us out in one fell swoop."

After about 5 minutes.

The gate of the east city of Shouyang opened, and then a large number of devils swarmed out, rushing towards the attack position of the Second Independent Regiment under the cover of artillery fire.

Because of the extended cover of the artillery, the Devil infantry seemed confident, and soon rushed to a position less than 500 meters away from the attack position of the Second Independent Regiment.

At this time, the Devil's machine gunner immediately looked for a suitable position, set up the machine gun and fired fiercely.

"Tut-chug! Chug-chug!—"

In an instant, dense bullets poured down like a gust of wind and rain.

The devil grenadiers also set up grenadiers one after another, looking for suitable targets and firing one after another.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the devil infantry immediately changed from walking to running, and rushed forward quickly.

The soldiers of the Second Independent Regiment behind the bunker resisted symbolically for a while, then fled back in a panic as if they had lost their souls, and soon disappeared behind the mountain bag.

The captain of the ghost team did not doubt that he was there, and immediately waved his sword in his hand excitedly: "Warriors of the empire, continue to charge, and wipe out these damned Chinese Tuba Roads in one fell swoop!"

"Kill the chicken! Kill the chicken!—"

On the wall of the East City Gate, Yoshida Yan has been attacking by the 4th Infantry Battalion. When he saw the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side suddenly retreating and disappearing behind the dirt bag 2 kilometers away, he immediately realized the troops.

"Not good! Kawashima-kun fell for it!" Yoshida Yan's face sank, and he instructed Yoshida Yan who was beside him: "This must be Tubalu's trick to lure the enemy into deep, pass my order, let Kawashima-kun lead the first The 4th Brigade retreats to the city!"

"Hi Yi!"

Yoshida Yan paused heavily, then turned around and conveyed Yoshida Yan's order.

Soon, several devil messengers rode out of the city on fast horses.

About 3 minutes later, the devil's messenger found Yoshida Yan, immediately got off his horse, ran up to him, and reported after a respectful meal: "Mr. Kawashima, the commander of the regiment has ordered you to retreat immediately into the city. !”  …

"Withdrawal? Why?" Kazuo Kawashima looked puzzled.

The messenger: "The captain said you've been tricked!"

Kazuo Kawashima: "A trick? Impossible, this group of Tuba roads have been killed by the 4th Battalion of our imperial infantry, and they have lost their armor and armor, and they are defeated!

Soon we will catch up and wipe them out! "

At this time, the vanguard of the 4th Battalion, under the cover of machine gunners and grenadiers, rushed under the dirt bag.

At this time, there was a sudden burst of intensive machine gunfire on the hill.

Immediately afterwards, the ghost soldiers who charged over fell like a knife cutting leeks, screaming and falling down a large area.

The grenadiers in the rear were preparing to provide fire guidance to the infantry, but unexpectedly, the artillery shells came suddenly with a terrifying scream that tore through the air.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!—"

The cannonballs fell to the ground and exploded one after another, causing clusters of scarlet fireworks to rise immediately.

In the light of the fire, all the devil grenadiers were blown out, even the grenadiers with their grenades.

In addition to the grenadier position, the devil's machine gun position is also the key target of the artillery battalion of the Second Independent Regiment.

After setting up the grenadiers and heavy machine guns, these ghost grenadiers and machine gunners have not moved their positions. They have already been locked by the artillery of the Second Independent Regiment, and they are like live targets at this moment.

As the firepower of the artillery battalion extended, the devil's machine gun position was suddenly blown into a sea of ​​flames.

Many Devil machine gunners were blown to pieces on the spot, and bloody stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere.

On the east gate, Ji Tianyan's old face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water: "Baga! Sure enough, this is indeed a conspiracy by Tubalu!"

Outside the city, until now, Kazuo Kawashima didn't know that he had been tricked, and his face changed suddenly, so he decisively issued an order to withdraw the troops.

However, the wilderness outside the city was unobstructed. Under the attack of the machine gun firepower of the Second Independent Regiment, the Devil infantry seemed like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with nowhere to hide.

Speaking of it, this is what the little devil did on his own.

After Pingding, Yangquan and Jinzhong were successively captured by the Eighth Route Army, Yoshida Yan realized that the Eighth Route Army would attack Shouyang sooner or later.

Therefore, he ordered people to cut down the grass and trees outside the city in advance, and even some stones were blasted and smashed, and the pits were filled.

If it wasn't for the huge amount of work, he even wanted to flatten all the soil bags two or three kilometers outside the city.

The purpose of doing this was to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army, but at this time it harmed myself.

After destroying the devil's grenadier position and machine gun position, the artillery battalion immediately launched an extended bombardment against the devil's infantry.

Although the artillery battalion of the Second Independent Regiment was an artillery battalion in name, with the artillery of the other regiments and the few heavy artillery that had just been captured, its firepower had already surpassed that of the two artillery regiments.

Under the powerful firepower of the Second Independent Regiment, the 4th Japanese Infantry Battalion, which was out of the city to fight, suffered more than 80% casualties, and only a small number of devils fled back to the city in a panic.

From when they left the city to fleeing back to the city, the whole process took less than half an hour.

How arrogant he was when he left the city, how embarrassed he was when he ran away.

Ji Tianyan quickly sensed the danger. He knew that since the Eighth Route Army's artillery had already taken action, it was very likely that they would launch an extended bombardment of the East Gate.

The East City Gate is no longer safe!

Therefore, when the remnants of the 4th Infantry Battalion retreated, the devil decisively left the tower.

It was almost as if he had just stepped onto the upper three-wheeled vehicle body, and before he had run 200 meters, there was a violent explosion behind him.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!—"

Yoshida Yan turned his head suddenly, but saw that the entire east city gate was shrouded in a sea of ​​scarlet flames.
