Li Zuo personally picked up the detonator and violently twisted and pressed it, and hundreds of kilograms of explosives buried on the river beach exploded violently, and the violent explosion sound directly blew up the surrounding Japanese troops into the sky.

What's more, the river beach was full of pebbles, and after the explosives exploded, these pebbles directly acted as a terrifying presence like shrapnel, and the debris flew in all directions, killing and injuring the Japanese soldiers.

At the same time, the heavy machine guns on the trenches opened fire one after another, and at such a close distance, under the fierce fire of so many light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese troops rushing onto the river beach were tantamount to a naked massacre!

"Send a signal, divide them with fire"!

"Yes"!

Two flares rushed into the sky again, and many soldiers pulled the bolts on the artillery positions in the distance.

At the same time, the mortars of the First Army were also firing on all fronts, and shells whistled through the crowd of charging Japanese troops.

At the same time, the 74th Army's side also directly launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army, the ammunition of the 74th Army was sufficient compared to the First Army.

The attack lasted for half an hour, the water in the river was not only muddy but also bright red, and many Japanese corpses or corpses that were directly shattered by artillery fire were floating in the river.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the First Army, which was originally passively defending, took the initiative to charge almost on all fronts, attacking the Japanese troops who were forcibly crossing the river.

The follow-up troops of the Japanese army were blocked by fierce artillery fire, and the Japanese troops who broke through were directly exposed to the rain of bullets and bullets of our troops, and the two armies were too close to each other, and the Japanese artillery bombardment did not dare to open fire, and most of the current Japanese troops were in the river, which can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

All the heavy machine guns and light machine guns were firing fiercely, and the attacking troops in front were charging directly with light machine guns and rifles under mortar fire.

The Japanese troops in Jiangshui had no cover, and their mobility was inconvenient, and they almost became live targets, and they suffered heavy casualties under heavy machine gun fire.

More than 1,500 Japanese troops who crossed the river opposite the 184th Division lost more than 500 people in about ten minutes, and the remaining Japanese troops began to retreat in a panic!

The soldiers who rushed out of the trenches opened fire one after another, and many Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, especially the machine-gun fire of the First Army, and the dense rain of bullets directly launched a massacre against the Japanese troops.

The remaining Japanese troops did not care about the fierce artillery fire of our army and retreated one after another, and in such a situation, our artillery fire also increased the bombardment density to bombard the Japanese army.

Under a series of blows, this wave of Japanese attacks failed at the cost of losing almost a brigade, and less than two squadrons of troops were left to withdraw from the river.

After the Japanese retreated, Li Zuo categorically ordered the soldiers to return to the defense along the entire line, both to consolidate the position and to prevent the Japanese artillery attack.

Sure enough, the Japanese artillery began to fire again a minute later, and if they hadn't retreated quickly, the casualties would have increased on this bare and unobstructed river beach!

Similarly, the new 10th Division and the 183rd Division had already repelled the frontal attack of the Japanese army, leaving only the 74th Army still fighting fiercely with the Japanese on the defensive line.

The tactics adopted by the 74th Army were to use artillery bombardment, and the Japanese soldiers opened fire after coming to the center of the river.

Fortunately, Wang Yaowu directly ordered the reserves to be put into use directly, and knocked the Japanese army back from various gaps.

"Inform our artillery to take the initiative to bomb the enemy in front of the 74th Army"! Wan Baobang said.

"But our army is already running out of shells, is it..."

"Dead lips and cold teeth, carry out the order"!

"Yes"!

Three minutes later, the First Group began to bombard the Japanese attacking troops, and the explosions on the attacking Japanese positions were loud and loud, and many Japanese soldiers were blown into pieces of flesh and blood.

"Inform the whole army, launch a counteroffensive, and send these brutes back to me"! Wang Yaowu said categorically.

After the order was issued, all units of the 74th Army took the initiative to attack, and the fierce firepower caused heavy losses to the Japanese troops in Jiangxin's heart, and they pulled out their hands, and the artillery fire of the 74th Army was also bombarding the Japanese troops in Jiangxin's heart with all their might.

"Boom"!

"Boom"!

The violent explosion lifted the river directly to a height of more than 10 meters, accompanied by many Japanese corpses and fish and shrimp corpses that were broken into pieces.

The bullets turned into a heavy rain and frantically suppressed the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers fell one by one.

Until after the Japanese retreated, the artillery fire of the Dian army gradually stopped, and the artillery fire of the same 74th Army also took the initiative to stop, Wang Yaowu ordered: "Check the casualties of all departments and consolidate the defensive line"!

"Yes"!

"Inform the reserves and send five thousand rounds of heavy artillery shells to the First Army"! Wang Yaowu said.

"What? 5,000 rounds"? Yu Chengwan was surprised.

"I know how much they added, I also know how much they fought, we are all troops fighting for the country, they also took the initiative to support when we were tight, and now their artillery shells are definitely not much left, and the initiative direction of the Japanese army is still them, without shells, their casualties are bound to be heavy"!

"But we...

"Enough! You know how the artillery under the command of Wan Baobang is, if you can do the same, I will give you all the shells, good steel is used on the blade! This matter is so decided, if the superiors blame me, Wang Yaowu will bear it alone"! Wang Yaowu interrupted.

"Yes"!

Less than ten minutes after the Japanese retreated, the Japanese artillery bombarded again, in fact, as Wang Yaowu guessed, the first group's artillery shells were indeed about to run out, after all, in such a large-scale operation, the demand for artillery shells was too great, and the central government's replenishment of the miscellaneous army had the meaning of suppression.

After all, the chairman wants his Central Army to become the mainstream of the anti-Japanese resistance, and after all, he is raised by his mother, and the supplement is naturally a priority. Now the First Army only has about 2,000 rounds of ammunition left, but with these 5,000 shells, it can be regarded as a huge support!

The Japanese bombardment is still continuing, one after another, and people have to feel that their country is weak, the combat effectiveness of the 74th Army is considered a trump card in the Central Army, and the Dian Army is known as the crown of the country and the army, so the two strongest armies are still in front of the Japanese army, not to mention the rest of the army?

"No! If we continue to fight like this, our fortifications are about to be blown up by the Japanese army, inform Lu Hai that they quickly find out the Japanese artillery positions and blow them up"! Wan Baobang said.

"Yes!"

At this time, on the outer edge of the position, Lu Hai and his men were holding binoculars to observe the movement of the Japanese troops in the distance, only to see that on a hillside, dozens of 105 heavy guns were firing fiercely, and the smoke and dust caused by the heavy artillery fire could be clearly seen even from a few kilometers away.

"Mark their location, predict the distance"!

Li Fan looked at it for a while and said: "It is 16 kilometers away from our army's artillery position, and the distance between the guns is 20 meters, so it is not easy to destroy!"

"There is no way to do it, notify the situation, and we will directly direct the artillery bombardment when their eyes are on"! Lu Hai said.

"Send electricity to the division commander"!

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later, Wan Baobang spoke: "Concentrate three divisions of Krupp heavy artillery and cover and shoot at this position"!

"Yes"!

None of the divisions had two Krupp mountain guns, and the three divisions had a total of six Krupp mountain guns, and three minutes later, all three divisions of Krupp heavy guns began to revise their aiming according to the positions provided by Lu Hai.

After a few more minutes, six Krupp mountain guns took the initiative to fire, and one shell after another whistled out, and a moment later, the Japanese artillery position was hit by shells, and two Japanese heavy guns were blown up.

Because the fire was not dense enough, the Japanese artillery was far away, the first bombardment did not cause great damage, after the shelling, the Japanese also knew that the artillery position had been exposed, hurriedly stopped the bombardment and began to transfer the gun position, at this time, another series of shells came in.

This round of artillery bombardment did not concentrate on the target, and the Japanese soldiers also retreated one after another to prepare to transfer their positions, Lu Hai frowned and said: "This is not good, sending a telegram to the division commander means that the artillery is not dense enough, and I request additional heavy artillery carpet bombing"!

"Yes"!

After receiving the telegram, Wan Baobang also frowned, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, Krupp heavy artillery was limited, and the Japanese army's 105 heavy artillery had insufficient range, and now the situation has gathered all the firepower of heavy artillery.

Wan Baobang also understood that once the Japanese army could not cause effective casualties, the Japanese army's artillery position would fall short after transferring the firing range, Wan Baobang frowned and thought about it, and directly picked up the phone and said: "Commander Wang, I am Wan Baobang, we need your support"!

Wang Yaowu opened his mouth and said: "Brother Wan is polite, you say, as long as we can do it, we will definitely help"!

"We have discovered the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, but our Krupp heavy artillery is limited, and the range of the 105 heavy artillery is not enough, I hope to borrow your heavy artillery to use it, after all, destroying the Japanese artillery is beneficial to you and me"! Wan Baobang said.

Wang Yaowu said with a smile: "This is a good thing, I will call me personally, and my artillery will be directly handed over to you for command"!

"Captain Xie Wang"!

"What's polite, we are all brothers who fight devils together, and we are all Chinese who say thank you"!

Hanging up the phone, Wang Yaowu picked up the phone again and said: "From now on, you have full authority under the command of Division Commander Wan Baobang, and you will call me wherever he says"!

"Yes!"

A moment later, Wan Baobang's phone called again: "Order your department, all heavy artillery aimed at the northeast defense line, coordinates 003,009 are 16 kilometers away, and fire on the whole line"!

"Yes"!

Three minutes later, dozens of Krupp mountain guns that had corrected their coordinates raised their thick barrels to the maximum elevation angle, and a lieutenant colonel personally picked up the command flag and said: "Reload"! (To be continued.) )
