Lu Xinghua believed that there were good reasons why they could not be ambushed, because the location of their river crossing was absolutely confidential, and the Japanese army could not know it in advance, so it was impossible to set up an ambush in advance, even if the Japanese army discovered them at the beginning of their crossing. Moreover, it is impossible to mobilize troops for an ambush, because the Japanese army does not have such a fast movement speed, and they arrived at the ambush position in just ten minutes.

Lu Xinghua then said: "This must be a small group of Japanese troops attacking and harassing. The infantry got out of the vehicles and cooperated with the tanks to carry out the suppression." Lu Xinghua guessed right, the attack was indeed a small group of Japanese troops, the reconnaissance troops sent by Shinichi Abe. Relying on the cover of the pine forest, he decided that Lin Yuan's troops would not enter the pine forest, so he launched an attack on the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops with killer guns.

When Lin Yuan's troops received the order, the infantry immediately got out of the vehicles and formed a skirmish line to approach the pine forest. They also opened fire, and the shells flew into the pine forest roaring, and even a few thinner pine trees were interrupted. When the Japanese army saw Lin Yuan's troops launched a counterattack, they immediately fled to the distance, and the soldiers of Lin Yuan's troops did not chase after them. , but returned to the team and continued to march towards the Japanese Yamaguchi.

Lu Xinghua's troops continued to move forward without encountering any obstacles. After about half an hour, someone suddenly came to report: "Japanese defenders are found ahead." As soon as Lu Xinghua heard this, he immediately took out the map and asked the staff around him: " Where are we now?"

The staff officer said: "In front of us is a place called Heituling, about fifteen kilometers away from Guichoukou where we are going."

Lu Xinghua said: "Strange, there should be no Japanese defenders in Heituling area! Where did the defenders come from?" Lu Xinghua then asked, "How many Japanese soldiers are there?"

The soldier who reported the letter said: "I don't know, our company is exchanging fire with them!"

Lu Xinghua thought to himself: "The Japanese army in Heituling must have been mobilized recently. In this case, their defensive preparations must not be sufficient. We may be able to take them down with a single charge." But Lu Xinghua changed his mind: " The mission assigned to us by the division commander is a feint attack, if we attack the Japanese army, it will become a real attack, should we do this?"

Thinking of this, Lu Xinghua immediately contacted Xiao Yingwu and asked, "Master, we were intercepted by the enemy at Heituling, do you want to attack them?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "There were no Japanese defenders in Heituling, since they suddenly appeared, you should eat them!"

Lu Xinghua immediately said: "Okay! Let's move now." Lu Xinghua immediately ordered: "Infantry get out of the car, tanks gather to the east, use artillery to attack the Japanese positions, and infantry attack the Japanese army from the west." In this way, artillery shells and infantry The direction of travel became two, and the shells could hit the Japanese positions, but they would not hurt the infantry in charge.

The tanks and infantry quickly completed the dispatch, and the tanks fired immediately. Lin Yuan's troops had already discovered through reconnaissance that the Japanese army did not have a solid fortress on the black soil ridge. No, so Lin Yuan's troops used anti-personnel grenades, and they were the kind with time fuzes installed. Basically, the shells would explode when they hit the top of the Japanese soldiers' heads. The shrapnel falling from the sky left the Japanese soldiers with no place to hide.

Just when the Japanese army was being bombed on the top of the mountain, the infantry also began to march towards the top of the mountain. Lu Xinghua watched the flames of the shell explosion from a distance, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart: "Little devils, you still want to block us and don't look at us." Whose army is it!" Just when he was triumphant, suddenly, a violent flash appeared on the Japanese army's position, and then there was a deafening explosion!The explosion was so violent that several Japanese soldiers were even blown away in an instant!The flying body is particularly eye-catching in the night sky illuminated by fire.

When Lu Xinghua saw this scene, he was startled and thought: "This explosion is so powerful, it definitely cannot be fired by our tank shells! Then who fired this shell? Our regiment is the only troops crossing the river today. There is no one else! Could it be that our people have asked for fire support? What fire support is needed if this is about to be defeated!"

Thinking of this, Lu Xinghua hastily shouted loudly: "Who asked for fire support?"

At this time, a staff officer said: "Report to the commander, no one is asking for fire support!"

Lu Xinghua pointed to the distance and said: "No one asked for fire support? Then what happened to the explosion just now? The power of that shell is clearly only the shell of our large-caliber support artillery!"

As we were talking, another shell exploded on the Japanese position. The location of the explosion this time was between the Japanese position and the infantry attack line of Lin Yuan's troops. Lin Yuan's troops were behind the line of attack, so this artillery shell could When the explosion failed, Lu Xinghua pointed to the thick smoke from the explosion and said, "Look, the shells are coming again. Who is supporting us?"

The staff officer shook his head and said, "I really don't understand..." The staff officer was wondering, but suddenly he saw panic flashing in Lu Xinghua's eyes, and the staff officer hurriedly asked, "Commander, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Xinghua shouted loudly: "Damn it! These shells are not here to help us, they are here to help the little devils! These two shells were test-fired shells, so they went wrong and landed on the Japanese army's position As soon as the Japanese army corrected their shooting, the shells fell on our heads."

The staff officer hurriedly asked: "Commander, why do you think so?"

Lu Xinghua said: "You didn't see where the Japanese artillery shells exploded. The first one was on the Japanese army's position, and the second one was between the Japanese army and us. They are moving towards us! You little devils are desperate to fight, risking themselves being bombed." The danger of death will draw us to our end! Quickly, order the infantry to get on the wagons, and we are going to leave this place."

The staff rushed to deliver the order, and Lu Xinghua immediately notified Xiao Yingwu: "Master, we are likely to face heavy Japanese artillery strikes, and the defenders of Heituling even used themselves to guide the artillery to shoot!"

Xiao Yingwu's heart moved, and he immediately ordered: "You all retreat quickly, do you understand?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "I understand, I will lead the troops to retreat!" Just as Lu Xinghua was about to give the order to retreat, his mind suddenly moved, and he said to Xiao Yingwu: "Master, we can't retreat! The Japanese army has discovered our position Now, they can also think of our retreat route, they will definitely fire on our retreat route, if we retreat, we will retreat to the little devil's muzzle!"

Xiao Yingwu also understood now, and immediately said: "You stay put and stand by, I will immediately order our artillery to fire and suppress the Japanese artillery group!" Xiao Yingwu immediately ordered the artillery group: "The artillery fires rapidly and attacks the Japanese positions!" With an order, a total of 120 artillery pieces from the [-]th Division, [-]nd Division, and the [-]st and [-]nd Independent Brigade opened fire immediately.

Xiao Yingwu also knew that the artillery would not have much effect against the Japanese artillery, so he immediately contacted Lin Yuan and said, "Commander Lin, can the air strike be carried out in advance?"

Lin Yuan said without even thinking about it, "This is not acceptable!"
