Just woke up, the first chapter, the first update today, thank you for your great support.

The captain of the little devil, seeing the defeated remnant soldiers, was so distressed that he was dying, and his face was full of misery. He said to the correspondent next to him: "Send a report to Your Excellency, the brigade commander. The First Infantry Battalion has been severely injured. Please help."

"Hi", the little devil's messenger hurriedly went to send the report.

Suzuki Shigeyasu, who received the telegram from the First Infantry Battalion, angrily drew out his command knife and slammed it on a big tree next to him, and said to the chief of staff next to him: "Order the troops, speed up, and support the First Infantry Battalion .”[

In the third company position, the soldiers saw thousands of little devils pouring in like a tide, they were defeated by themselves, and finally left their corpses on the ground, less than one-third of the little devils successfully retreated, and suddenly broke out There was a burst of cheers, and some soldiers even raised their guns high, raising their arms and shouting.

Seeing the victory of the third company, Wang Haiyang, the head of the first regiment, quickly asked the correspondent to send the battle situation to the division headquarters and report to the division commander Zhang Yunfei.

Receiving the good news from the front, Zhang Yunfei was also full of joy, and said to the deputy commander Liu Dazhu: "Dazhu, a regiment has severely damaged the vanguard of the Suzuki Brigade. I estimate that the main force of the Suzuki Brigade will soon reach Giethoorn Village. Order, the artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft artillery battalion enter the designated attack position, and the second and fourth regiments detour from both sides to outflank the little devil.

"Okay, I'll convey the task right away." Liu Dazhu replied immediately.

"In addition, the political commissar stays at the division headquarters. Wait a minute, Da Zhu, you and I will go to the front line and command the battle. We must not let the invading devil go back alive."

When the Suzuki Brigade reached the west side of Giethoorn Village two or three kilometers away, Shigeyasu Suzuki chose the highest hill nearby as a temporary headquarters, and the kid was busy setting up field tents and radio stations.

The commander of the brigade, Suzuki Shigeyasu, straddled his command knife, and accompanied by a few little devil staff officers, stood on the hillside, holding a telescope to carefully observe the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.

The more he looked, the more dignified Suzuki Shigeyasu's face became. Judging from the deployment of troops and the excavation of the trenches of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, the commander of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is not simple, and there may be a fierce battle later.

After watching for a long time, Shigeyasu Suzuki said to the chief of staff next to him: "Is the artillery brigade ready?"

"The artillery brigade is building a position and will be ready for battle in half an hour," replied the chief of staff.

"Yoxi, in half an hour, order the artillery brigade to shell the opposite China's position, so that the China troops can taste the power of the imperial artillery." Shigeyasu Suzuki said to the chief of staff with a smirk.

Suzuki Shigeyasu's understanding of the Chinese army is still a few months ago. In the previous battles of Xinkou and Taiyuan, the army did not have any cannons. The main way to defeat the Chinese army was two tactics. One was high-density shelling The second is to rely on more advanced and stronger firepower than the guns to carry out group charges, which can easily overwhelm the opponent's defense.

This time, Shigeyasu Suzuki did not prepare a group charge for the time being. According to the information provided by the First Infantry Battalion, the Chinese army on the opposite side had an astonishing number of automatic weapons.

The artillery brigade of the Suzuki Brigade has 36 [-]mm mountain guns and carries a large number of shells, so Shigeyasu Suzuki is preparing to conduct high-density bombardment of the Eighth Route Army's positions.

In the third company position, the soldiers were replenishing bullets. After a violent shooting just now, some soldiers almost ran out of magazines. This kind of automatic rifle is very good, but the ammunition Very expensive.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the transportation company came to the position carrying boxes of bullets, replenished the bullets for the soldiers, opened the ammunition box, inside was packed in oiled paper, neatly arranged, yellow bullets, three companies The commander quickly grabbed a handful of bullets, and skillfully filled his own clips with bullets.

Just as the soldiers finished replenishing their ammunition and hid in the trenches to rest, there was a sharp whistling sound from the sky. The experienced veterans knew that it was the little devils who started shelling.

Wang Haiyang, the head of the regiment who was observing from a distance, saw that the little devil's position on the opposite side started to fire. Judging from the movement just now, it might be the artillery brigade of the Suzuki Brigade who started shelling.

Although the first line of defense has built anti-blasting holes, most of these anti-blasting holes are made of earthen structure, and it is okay to avoid a few rounds of shelling from the little devils, but if it is an artillery brigade, the long-term shelling of more than [-] cannons, these The anti-blasting hole may be collapsed by the earthquake. [

Just in case, Wang Haiyang decisively ordered the third company in the first line of defense to retreat. After receiving the order to retreat, the third company retreated in an orderly manner along the traffic ditch, entering the first line of defense. Second line of defense.

The anti-blasting hole of the second line of defense is reinforced with big trees and sandbags, and it is not afraid of the shelling of the small-caliber mountain artillery of the imp.

When Zhang Yunfei and the deputy division commander rushed to the front line of Yangjiao Village, they happened to catch up with the little devil's shelling. Seeing the little devil's shells falling densely on the first line of defense, Zhang Yunfei thought to himself, the little devil is wasting shells again.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei's arrival, the leader of the first regiment immediately ran over, gave a standard military salute and said, "Hello, chief, the first regiment is fighting fiercely with the kid, please give instructions."

Zhang Yunfei waved his hand, asking Wang Haiyang not to be too restrained, and then said to Wang Haiyang: "It seems that the artillerymen of the little devils are very arrogant."

Hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, Liu Dazhu, the deputy division commander next to him, said: "Master, our artillery regiment is already ready, do you want to show some color to the little devil?"

"Not only do we want to show the little devils on the opposite side a little 'color', but we also want to hurt them, maim them, and order the artillery regiment to start shelling the little devils' position for an hour."

The 136th Division, the artillery regiment's position, an hour ago, the artillery regiment built its position. Today's artillery regiment is rich and powerful, equipped with three artillery battalions, each artillery battalion has 36 Type [-] infantry artillery, and the whole regiment has [-] Eight cannons, in addition to the transport company directly under the regiment, the guard company, more than [-] people in the regiment, and [-] to [-] horses.

In this battle, the head of the regiment, Wang Daquan, was also full of expectations. This time the artillery regiment will definitely perform well, playing the prestige and momentum of the Eighth Route Army.

The battle on the front line has already begun, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it is our artillery regiment's turn to perform.

Just as Wang Daquan was full of anticipation and ready to fight, the correspondent of the regiment headquarters ran over and reported that he had just received the order from the division commander, and immediately, the artillery regiment would shell the opposite little devil's position with all its strength.

"Haha, it's finally our turn, little devil on the other side, wait for grandpa to bring you cannonballs!" Wang Daquan laughed loudly.

After laughing, the head of the regiment, Wang Daquan, walked to the artillery mirror, observed the position of the little devil's position two or three kilometers away, and decisively ordered the artillery to start firing.

An artillery loader who received the order loaded the shells into the barrel of the infantry gun, locked the gun door, trotted two steps, and stood by the infantry gun, waiting for the artillery shooter to fire.

More than 100 cannons, the black muzzles pointed obliquely at the position of the little devils on the opposite side. After the shells were loaded, several infantry cannons began test firing.

The results of this test firing were not satisfactory, most of the shells missed, but according to the results of this shooting, all the cannons adjusted their shooting parameters, and the second round started immediately shelling.

The effect of the second round of shelling was much better than the first. All the shells hit the little devil's position. Seeing that the shooting elements were adjusted correctly, the regiment leader Wang Daquan gave the order to shoot freely.

After a while, the artillery fire of the entire artillery regiment roared, all the cannons roared, and all the artillery loaded and fired shells at the fastest speed.

Usually the rate of fire during training is generally four rounds per minute, but this time some infantry artillery fired six rounds per minute.

On the opposite side, the little devil's temporary headquarters, the brigade commander, Major General Suzuki Shigeyasu, clearly saw through the binoculars that his artillery brigade had begun shelling the positions of the Eighth Route Army of China, and most of the shells hit the positions of the Eighth Route Army. There must be heavy casualties now. Once the shelling is over, it is time to order the troops to charge and smash the eight roads on the opposite side in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Shigeyasu Suzuki happily said "Yoshi" a few times.

Just as Suzuki Shigeyasu was immersed in joy, the opposite eight-way position also began to fire. Several shells missed and landed on the periphery of the Japanese position, making a violent explosion. [

Seeing this scene, Suzuki Shigeyasu happily said to the chief of staff next to him: "Baludi, you can't do a good job, you can't even hit the gun."

Not long after Suzuki Shigeyasu finished speaking, there was a large screaming sound from the opposite side. Suzuki Shigeyasu looked up at the sky and saw hundreds of streamers in the sky flying towards his army's position. Scale bombardment.

A few seconds later, hundreds of artillery shells accurately hit the little devil's position, making an earth-shattering explosion sound, and blasting out large pits. This time the artillery regiment used all high-explosive shells, which were amazingly powerful.

Seeing such a large-scale bombardment, Shigeyasu Suzuki grabbed the collar of the chief of staff next to him angrily, and said loudly, "How could there be so many cannons on Tuba Road?"

The answer to Shigeyasu Suzuki was the ensuing heavy shelling by the Eighth Route Army.

Due to insufficient understanding of Zhang Yunfei's Eighth Route Army, he did not expect Zhang Yunfei to have so many cannons, and Suzuki Shigeyasu did not take effective anti-shelling measures.

The little devil's position was built with simple fortifications, no anti-gun holes were dug at all, and the layout of the troops was not arranged in steps. Instead, at least three infantry brigades were placed in the front position as the main attack, and the other two infantry brigades were deployed in the front. On both sides, cover the flanks.

Therefore, under the fierce shelling of the artillery regiment, the number of casualties of the little devils increased sharply. It is estimated that not many devils could survive the shelling for an hour.

Suzuki Shigeyasu's face was pale, watching his troops being beaten in vain. If this continues, the three infantry brigades in front of them will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

In the end, the proud Suzuki Shigeyasu looked miserable, and hurriedly said to the chief of staff: "Send a report to His Excellency Commander Xiangyueqing Division of the 1st Taiyuan Army. The 1st Infantry Brigade was bombarded by the Eighth Route Army of China near Yangjiao Village. , with heavy casualties, requesting tactical guidance."

The chief of staff also realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately turned around and walked to the communication room.
