The 184th Division was the main attack, and the new 10th Division was supplemented by a fierce attack on several hills where the Japanese army was stationed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The forward troops rushed up and even fought directly with the Japanese with bayonets, and the Japanese army was not to be outdone, and the artillery was also firing to suppress it, and the most important thing was that the Japanese army once again shamelessly used poison gas shells, hitting hundreds, thousands of poison gas shells on the positions of the soldiers of the Yunnan army.

Fortunately, a large number of Japanese troops were killed on the opposite side of the river before, a large number of gas masks were captured, and almost all the two regiments of the main attack wore gas masks, and the follow-up soldiers also had certain anti-gas equipment.

Just when the Dian Army and the 106th Division were fighting hard, in the valley on the left, the Zuozhi detachment unknowingly bumped into the ambush circle of the 74th Army.

"Defeat them as fast as you can"! Wang Yaowu ordered.

"Yes"!

"Ready! Detonate"!

As soon as the words fell, several soldiers pressed the detonator in their hands one after another, and the explosion on the road suddenly roared, and many Japanese soldiers turned into smoke before they could understand what was happening.

Several tanks were directly blown up, and just as the explosion roared, dense gunfire suddenly rang out on the hillsides on both sides, and dozens of machine guns whistled down a dense rain of bullets.

The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties all of a sudden, and in the same way, unconsciously, the strength of a division violently locked the retreat of the Japanese army, and a pocket array had been fully formed, and there were more than 5,000 Japanese troops in the pocket!

The two sides immediately launched a fierce battle, and after a short period of casualties, the Japanese army also began to order the troops to take the initiative to attack, preparing to tear a hole in the side to seize the commanding heights.

On the left was Zhang Lingfu's regiment, with more than 2,000 men, and the Japanese attack force was about two brigades, taking advantage of the advantage of artillery fire to launch a charge from the flank.

On the top of the hill, the troops also relied on machine-gun fire and mortars to suppress the Japanese assault troops, and once the Japanese rushed up, they were grenades, followed by a dense rain of bullets.

After half an hour of charging, more than a dozen fierce charges of the Japanese army were repulsed, and at the same time, the heavy troops of the 74th Army pressed up one after another, and the Japanese army decisively ordered a breakthrough when they saw this.

The remaining 4,000 Japanese troops broke through with iron determination and used poison gas bombs and superior firepower to launch a fierce attack on the position of one division of the 74th Army that had sealed the defensive line.

Under the poison gas bomb, the soldiers who did not take too many anti-poison measures finally could not resist, and in the case of heavy casualties, Wang Yaowu resolutely ordered to let go of the opening and chase after them, otherwise they would not be able to eat these Japanese soldiers and would easily break their teeth.

After a few moments, the defensive line gradually opened up, and the Japanese troops were able to break through, and at this time, the 74th Army followed in pursuit...

On the side of the First Army, after Li Zuo led everyone to capture the two lines of defense of the Japanese army, the offensive was finally contained by the Japanese army because of the frantic resistance of the Japanese army.

The ensuing war was a close battle between the two armies, and within a radius of 100 meters, the artillery fire of our army and the artillery fire of the Japanese army were killing and injuring each other's soldiers.

Wan Baobang in the command headquarters hurriedly said: "The Japanese artillery fire is too fierce, and if we continue to fight like this, we will soon notify Lu Hai to quickly find out the location of the Japanese army's heavy artillery because of the heavy casualties"!

"Yes"!

The signal soldier was just about to go down, when he saw a signal soldier running in and saying, "Division commander, Battalion Commander Lu telegraphs!"

Wan Baobang took the telegram and was overjoyed: "Notify the heavy artillery troops and dispatch ten heavy artillery pieces to prepare for fire suppression!" ”

"Yes!"

A moment later, ten of our heavy artillery began to bombard the far side of the southeast defense line, and the first round of shells burst two heavy artillery positions, and just when the Japanese wanted to transfer their gun positions, the shells from behind followed and hit the remaining artillery positions fiercely.

The explosion roared all over the hillside, and the most terrible thing was not the flying shells, but the detonation of their own shells, but the accumulation of a large number of shells on the top of the mountain, once detonated, it was like hitting an ammunition depot.

Under the continuous bombardment, this heavy artillery position with dozens of guns was swept away by artillery fire and almost completely destroyed, and on the front line, the Japanese heavy artillery really stopped.

Only mountain artillery and field artillery were left to bombard early, and Wan Baobang categorically ordered: "Flood and search for traces of Japanese artillery, once found, there is no need to test fire, bomb directly!" ”

"Yes"!

"The rest of the artillery, bomb me hard at the forward positions of the Japanese army"!

"Yes"!

Similarly, on the battlefield on the side, the offensive of the 74th Army was also completely launched, and they used their Krupp heavy artillery to launch a fierce bombardment of the Japanese army that was rapidly retreating, and the Japanese attacking troops were also killed and wounded under the fierce artillery bombardment, and the Japanese army originally wanted to prepare for a large-scale counterattack.

However, they could not stand firm on their feet, and a single shell hit their position, and followed by the pursuers, and the Zuozhi detachment was no match for the 74th Army, and the pursued ones broke all the way.

In the melee, the 74th Army was getting closer and closer to the vicinity of the Nanxun Railway, and now they are only the last ten kilometers away from the Nanxun Railway.

On the side of the First Army, the Japanese army was determined to defend to the death, and the attacks of the two divisions were not carried out smoothly, and every step forward had to pay the price of blood.

The two main attack battalions led by Li Zuo had already lost more than half of them, and although there were follow-up troops to support them, the charge had already been beaten back by the Japanese firepower.

The hillside is now almost full of poisonous gas, and there are exploding shells and whistling bullets everywhere.

"Deputy Commander, what should I do?"

"Hold off the attack and wait for artillery support to say that it is a joke on the lives of the brethren to rush like this"!

"Inform the mortars, grenadiers, they will hit me with the exposed point of machine gun fire!"

"Yes"!

Moments later, the mortars at the front opened fire, as did the grenadiers, and the target was the Japanese machine-gun fire point on the top of the hill.

Because it was dark at night, the machine-gun fire was the easiest to expose, and after a fierce bombardment, most of the Japanese machine-gun fire points on the forward positions were destroyed.

"Did you find it"? Wan Baobang urged.

"They haven't been found yet, they should be hiding behind that hillside"!

"Hurry up and find it, if you are slow for a minute, one more brother will die on the battlefield!"

"Yes"!

"Divisional commander! Battalion Commander Lu telegraphed: "! Just when Wan Baobang was anxious, a communication soldier ran in and said.

Wan Baobang took it and immediately said with joy: "Great! Inform the heavy artillery of our army to bombard with all their might eight kilometers to the southeast! ”

"Yes"!

A moment later, more than two dozen heavy guns opened fire with all their might, and the large-caliber shells rushed into the sky, smashing down with heavy hits.

Behind the hill, a Japanese mountain artillery group that was firing was hit by a sudden shell, because the mountain artillery was not heavy artillery and the position between them was not very far, and in this case, the first round of shelling detonated almost all of these Japanese mountain artillery groups.

What was even more painful was that all these damn gas bombs were detonated, and the violent poison gas spread over the Japanese artillery positions, and many helpless soldiers were poisoned by the gas one after another.

At this time, Wan Baobang ordered: "All artillerymen, fire with all your strength at the marked Japanese firing points"!

"Half an hour, the attacking troops attacked on all fronts"!

"Yes"!

A moment later, the First Army's heavy artillery, mountain artillery, field artillery, and mortars were all firing fiercely, and shells whistled and hit the Japanese firing points.

In the roar, the Japanese defense line was almost in ruins, especially the heavy artillery, once it entered the Japanese position, a single shell could send a dozen Japanese soldiers back to see the emperor, such a fierce shell, the Japanese front line has almost completely collapsed.

Half an hour later, Wan Baobang ordered again: "The artillery bombards the depth of the Japanese army, and the infantry launches a general attack"!

"Yes"!

Two red flares were fired from the canopy, and the attacking troops in front of them once again launched a fierce attack on the hillside.

After a round of fierce artillery bombardment, the Japanese troops on the position mountain were completely unable to resist, and the soldiers who charged up beat wildly, annihilating most of the Japanese soldiers left on the position, and the Japanese army retreated from the front, and the rest hurriedly withdrew to the second-line position, the second-line position was a mountain again, and there were two highlands on the side, and the highlands were garrisoned by two wings.

After capturing the front-line position, Wan Baobang resolutely ordered: "Except for heavy artillery, all mountain artillery and field artillery are dragged on rafts, trying to get closer to the front line"!

"Yes"!

"Notify the 184th Division to test the Japanese firepower point!"

"Yes"!

Li Zuo and the others immediately set up mortars on the top of the hill to bombard, and the Japanese sent troops to feint.

A moment later, more than a dozen firing points were violently exposed in the darkness, and Li Zuo said with a smile: "Don't attack, don't rush forward, mortars are bombarding these Japanese machine-gun fires with all their might"!

"Yes!"

Dozens of mortars immediately locked onto the Japanese machine-gun fire, and after a while, these machine-gun positions were eliminated, and the follow-up infantry made a full-line attack, and the Japanese positions were finally unable to be suppressed.

The 92 rifle guns hidden in the mountains began to bombard, and the Japanese mortars returned fire.

Wan Baobang resolutely ordered to open fire to suppress, and one shell after another whistled and smashed towards the Japanese position, and one shell after another whistled and smashed on the Japanese firepower.

In just ten minutes, almost all the firepower exposed by the Japanese army was destroyed.

At this time, Wan Baobang categorically ordered the troops to launch a full-scale attack. The new 10th Division relied on mortar fire suppression to take the lead in launching a full-line attack!

Immediately afterwards, the three regiments of the 184 were also put into operation on the whole line, and the battle line was completely opened, as long as the Japanese defense line was completely torn apart as long as it was captured, and it was possible to smoothly march to the Nanxun Railway!
