Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Wang Dazhu stood at attention with a serious expression: "Yes, group seat, we promise to complete the task.".

"Go."

Xu Rui nodded, waved his hand and smiled.

Wang Dazhu stood at attention again and saluted, then turned and returned to the artillery position.

Soon, in less than a minute, the violent shelling continued.

The artillery battalion of the 303rd regiment under Xu Rui gathered the 105mm howitzers, Type 75 infantry guns, and [-]mm mountain guns that had been captured before, together with the artillery from the Xinyi regiment and other friendly forces, and launched a fierce artillery attack on all the visible devil ground defense positions on the main peak of Matouling.

All of a sudden, the defensive positions built by the devils on the ground on the main peak of Matou Ridge were bombarded with artillery fire.

After Seishiro Banzon led his troops to retreat to the main peak of Matouling, most of the defensive positions built on the mountain were trenches and other infantry fortifications.

Since there is no time, and there are no sleepers, steel is a powerful resource for building infantry fortifications.

Therefore, the various types of artillery assembled by Wang Dazhu and others were actually very effective in attacking the ground defense positions built on the main peak of Matou Ridge.

The ground simple fortifications built by many devils were immediately smashed into fragments by the violent artillery fire, and it was impossible for the devil infantry to enter them to cover and counterattack.

And this scene was clearly seen by Itazon Seishiro in the bunker headquarters.

"hateful!"

Itabazon Seishiro, who was so angry in his heart, could only recruit a staff officer, and ordered him: "Command all ministries, pay attention to concealment, and avoid artillery.".

"We don't have many artillery pieces in our hands now, so don't fire back for now. We don't have many artillery shells."

The devil's staff officer nodded heavily and said: "Understood, Your Excellency General.".

Immediately, the devil's staff officer immediately walked aside, picked up a field phone on the table, and directly called the devil's troops in various ministries outside.

Now, there are only eleven 75mm mountain guns left in Banyuan Seishiro's hands, and only 75 227mm shells are left.

Although there are more than 30 other mortars and grenades in total.

However, there are not many shells for these light artillery.

As a last resort, Seishiro Banzono could only order the remaining artillery not to counterattack just now, and he could only concentrate artillery fire to counterattack after the enemy's attack on the mountain was approaching.

Now, I can only hang on.

But Wang Dazhu and the others, seeing that the devils on the main peak of Matou Ridge had no artillery fire to fight back, did not think that the artillery forces of the devils on the main peak of Matou Ridge had been completely wiped out before.

Therefore, Wang Dazhu and the others continued to follow the instructions of Xu Rui and the others, concentrated artillery and violently shelled the ground on the main peak of Matouling, trying to blow up the ground defenses built by the devils with as much artillery fire as possible.

At this time, Xu Rui was on the hillside in front of the temporary field headquarters, and was also observing his own bombardment with binoculars.

"Boom!"

Xu Rui chuckled, and used binoculars to observe the main peak of Matou Ridge covered by artillery fire. He couldn't help saying to Luo Youdu, the chief of staff at the side: "It's rare for us to be hit by heavy artillery fire, and the devils have no spare power to counter the artillery."

"It can be seen that Wang Dazhu did kill all the devil's 105mm howitzers and most of the 75mm and 70mm caliber artillery before."

Luo Youdu nodded and said with a smile: "It should be."

"Otherwise, with the arrogant nature of an old devil like Banyuan Seishiro, it would be impossible to be passively bombed and not fight back. It seems that there should not be many devil artillery and shells on the main peak of Matou Ridge."

Xu Rui nodded, and continued to smile as he continued to watch the scene of heavy artillery fire on the main peak of Matou Ridge, which was bombarded by artillery from his side and other artillery.

"Reporting group, Chief of Staff, intercepted the latest radio transmission from the headquarters of the Devil's First Army to the headquarters of Seishiro Itano."

Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer of the 303rd Regiment, ran up from the command post under the hillside, and then stood at attention and saluted Xu Rui and Luo Youdu and reported, "You guessed right before, Commander. Shinozuka Yoshinan really won't be sitting on Kanban Sono Seishiro's army of devils commanding the last 5000 horses were wiped out by us."

"Yinan Shinozuka, has sent a confidential message to Seishiro Itano, informing that ten transport planes will be mobilized for the second batch of airdrops. The time is around ten o'clock in the evening."

After finishing speaking, Gu Jiaping handed the telegram to Xu Rui first.

Xu Rui nodded, then took the telegram and read it.

After reading it, Xu Rui handed the telegram to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, and said with a smile, "At about ten o'clock in the evening, the second batch of transport planes that Yoshinan Shinozuka airdropped ammunition and other supplies to Seishiro Itano just flew over the main peak of Matou Ridge."

"Airdrop at night, don't be afraid of being inaccurate!"

After Luo Youdu took the telegram and read it, he smiled and said, "Besides, Seishiro Itazono should have reported to Yoshinan Shinozuka. The first batch of airdrop teams were shot down by our 40mm anti-aircraft guns.".

"How dare you come to the airdrop, and it's still at night, aren't you afraid of losing your wife and losing your army? The loss will be huge, hahaha."

Xu Rui chuckled, and said: "In a word, Shinozuka Yoshinan couldn't sit back and watch the last 5000 devils commanded by Itazon Seishiro, be wiped out by us on the main peak of Matou Ridge.".

"After all, if the last 5000 devils commanded by Itazon Seishiro were wiped out here, not only Itazon Seishiro was the head of the Devil's 5000th Division, but once Itazon Seishiro was killed by us, it would deal a great blow to the morale of the little devils. Moreover, most of the last 41 devils were the elite troops of the Devil's 16st Division and the [-]th Brigade."

"These elite troops were wiped out by us. It was a huge loss to Yoshinan Shinozuka's elite first army of devils. Combining all these factors, it is impossible for Seishiro Itazono to sit back and watch Seishiro Itazono run out of ammunition before the reinforcements arrive and be easily wiped out by us."

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "What the Tuan Zuo said is true."

"Then we have to prepare for the second anti-aircraft fire strike."

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to a messenger on the side: "Run and send an order to Wang Dazhu to tell the situation.".

"Order Wang Dazhu to prepare for the attack on the devil's second batch of airdrops around ten o'clock in the evening."

The orderly stood upright and said, "Yes, regimental seat."

"Well, let's go!"

Xu Rui waved his hand and said.

"Yes!"

The orderly replied, then turned and ran away to deliver the order.

Xu Rui said to Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer: "Continue to intercept and decipher the radio communications between the headquarters of the Devil's First Army and the headquarters of Seishiro Itano.".

"If there is an update, report to me and the chief of staff immediately."

Gu Jiaping nodded, stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, group seat, chief of staff!".

Then, Gu Jiaping turned around and returned to the headquarters below.

Xu Rui and Luo Youdu continued to pick up binoculars to observe their bombardment of the main peak of Matouling.

The 10-minute bombardment was not long, and soon the bombardment covered the commanding heights of firepower that might be the devils on the main peak of Matouling.

And Xu Rui, Li Yunlong and other troops began to attack the mountain along the foot of the main peak of Matouling.

At 48:[-] p.m., Kong Jie, head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, headquartered in the west of the main peak of Matouling, took the lead in breaking into the first defensive trench of the devils on the mountain, and started a close-range battle with devil soldiers in the trenches.
