The day was relatively quiet, the war did not start, and the Japanese army did not expect to be attacked so fiercely, and of course such a huge loss needed to be replenished, and the 58th Army also considered that the attack during the day was prone to large-scale air raids by the Japanese army, and the troops did need to be repaired, so the two sides were quiet and did not even fight with cold guns.

The soldiers of the 58th Army stopped to make corrections after the construction was completed, and some early warning mines were deliberately planted 50 meters and 100 meters in front, and most of the soldiers slept in the anti-artillery holes, because the temperature was too low, so these soldiers could only try to huddle together to save their body temperature, and similarly, because of excessive fatigue, most of the soldiers still fell asleep.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the rear trench of the 31st Regiment was indeed densely packed with more than 2,000 soldiers, and Lu Hai turned around and said, "Have all the people arrived?" ”

"It's all there!" Zhao Jianying said.

"Let's go!"

......

The sky gradually darkened, and the soldiers of all departments began to eat dinner, the so-called dinner was nothing more than a night of rice porridge and fried noodles brought by themselves, but there was still something hot to give these soldiers who were fighting hard in the cold winter a little warmth.

After dinner, the soldiers of all units also began to assemble, and the transportation of ammunition and other matters were ready, and they could launch an attack with just an order from Lu Daoyuan. The clock is ticking, and the time to fight again is getting closer.

There is not much emotion in the eyes of the soldiers, it is very bland, not high-spirited nor pessimistic, but a surprisingly calm, the scene of dead people on the battlefield has become commonplace, and there are many soldiers who do not know how many times they have been injured, the war has to be fought, even if the next one to fall is themselves, how many people died in this battle will be fought, this is the duty of the soldiers, and it is also to prevent the people from living on their knees!

In the military department, Lu Daoyuan asked: "How are the preparations?" ”

"It's all ready, just waiting for your orders!"

Lu Daoyuan walked out of the command headquarters and looked at it: "In half an hour, it will be completely dark, have you detected the situation of the Japanese soldiers?" ”

"It has been detected, all the artillery is ready, and we have another battalion of twenty Krupp heavy guns, plus the original heavy artillery, we are almost able to organize a heavy artillery regiment, the commander's department has sent us more than 10,000 shells, once the fire is fired, we will let them taste what the power of artillery fire is!" Xiao Benyuan said.

"The artillery fire must be fast and ruthless, as soon as the fire is fired, it will hit me on the target, and half an hour after the shelling begins, the infantry must follow in order to deal a powerful blow to them!" Lu Daoyuan reminded.

"Yes!"

"Lu Hai, how are they?" Lu Daoyuan asked.

"Half an hour ago, Lu Hai called back that he was close to the target position, and after our department launched an attack, Lu Hai would take action!" Xiao Benyuan said.

"Good! Get ready to go! ”

"Yes!"

The sky finally came down, and it was still so cold, and the cold air was full of the smell of gunsmoke. So the soldiers were loaded with bullets, their bayonets were shot, and their battle was once again ready to start.

At six o'clock in the afternoon of December 9, Lu Daoyuan picked up the phone and said: "Order to go down, the whole army will launch an offensive!" ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the call, the heavy artillery of two battalions of the 58th Army and the mountain artillery of two battalions opened fire together, and nearly 100 artillery pieces opened fire.

Similarly, this artillery bombardment can be said to be the most powerful attack in the history of the 58th Army, before they had no artillery, only the 60th Army had artillery, so they had to disperse the artillery in Nanchang, and this time there were two battalions of heavy artillery alone, which can be imagined!

After the artillery bombardment was launched, the soldiers of all units also moved closer to the direction where the Japanese army was located, this round of shelling almost blew up the forward positions of the Japanese army, at this time, the second round of shelling also hit, followed by the third round, the fourth round, the Japanese artillery also quickly launched a counterattack, only to see that the dark sky was full of shells flying at each other, the scene was very spectacular, but this spectacle was to kill!

The Japanese artillery counterattack had just begun, and Lu Daoyuan had already guessed the approximate artillery position of the capture team relying on the intelligence of the capture team, and then ordered to boil: "Suppress this group of Japanese artillery!" ”

"Yes!"

After receiving accurate information, more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces began to correct their bearings, and three minutes later, an artillery captain spoke: "Report, ready!" ”

"Fire!"

"Yes!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of artillery sounded again, and one shell after another flew into the depth of the Japanese army with the maximum range, and the roar sounded on the Japanese artillery position again, and soon the Japanese artillery gradually weakened, and the artillery shelling of the 58th Army here was covered by a while, and the two regiments that were also responsible for the attack also deployed most of their mortars in the front line to build artillery positions, and the soldiers were only a few dozen meters away from the Japanese position!

"Order the artillery to extend the fire, and the infantry to charge!"

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, Li Jian decisively ordered: "The mortar fires, and everyone charges!" ”

"Yes!"

After the order was given, hundreds of mortars fired shells at the forward positions again, and the torrential rain once again pressed down the Japanese troops, while the various units sounded the trumpet of the charge, and several thousand troops rushed into the surrounding small villages that were already in ruins.

On the side hillside of the Japanese army, Lu Hai put down his binoculars and said, "There are probably two Japanese squadrons on it!" ”

"The first battalion and the second battalion launched an attack, and this hill must be taken down in half an hour, the third battalion blocked the Japanese army's return troops, and the fourth battalion acted as a block for the Japanese army in the direction of Changde!"

"Yes!"

"Deploy the field artillery given to us by the division commander and fire at Changde"!

"Yes!"

"Order the capture team to cover the artillery, and retreat as soon as there is a situation!"

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, the first battalion and the second battalion had moved closer to more than 100 meters, and at this time, the mortars of the 31st regiment also fired fiercely at the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain, this mountain is only more than 100 meters above sea level and is only a small dirt slope that can be defended, but it is a rare commanding height here, and this is also the only way to pass through Changde, so the strategic location is naturally important.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

Before the words fell, one shell after another was slammed into the barrel, only to hear a crisp sound of discharge, and hundreds of red sparks suddenly bloomed on the Japanese position, and at the same time, the second round of shelling and the third round of Japanese positions exploded into a ball.

Just as the artillery was firing at the front, the seven field guns deployed also corrected and fired in the direction of Changde, and one shell after another flew into the city of Changde, which was almost in ruins.

These shells did not suffer casualties from the Japanese troops in Changde City, but they completely alarmed the Japanese troops in Changde City, these shells were like a stone falling into the pool, without causing much movement but pulling up the water of the entire pool.

The mountain artillery can hit the city of Changde, so isn't the Chinese army already only a few kilometers away from them, and the artillery bombardment has already begun, won't the infantry come soon?

"Explain to me, what's going on?" Isamu Yokoyama slapped the table and scolded.

"Judging from the density and scale of the shelling, the number of the Chinese army should not be large, but it also shows that the Chinese army is only a few kilometers away from us!" said the chief of staff.

"I gave you so many troops, and they were beaten like this by one army, if Changde is lost, we will wait to apologize!" Yokoyama said angrily.

"I'll send troops up and let the front line strengthen the offensive to beat the Chinese army out!"

"Order them, quickly shrink the defensive line, stick to Changde, and if necessary, you can abandon the outer positions of Changde!"

"Division commander, how can this be, once the peripheral positions are abandoned, the Zhina Army will attack in?" The chief of staff said urgently.

"Judging from the current situation, the Zhina Army is not far from us, and our supplies are not able to keep up, we should give up Changde when necessary, after all, our losses are already very serious, and if we continue to fight, even if we hold a Changde, it is extremely uneconomical for us!" Isamu Yokoyama analyzed.

"Yes!"

On the front line, the attack is ongoing, the Japanese positions have been bombarded again and again, the troops have also charged up, the various departments have also launched a tragic battle, the distance is still far away on the fierce fire, the distance is close to the bayonet, the battlefield on the front line is extremely tragic, the follow-up troops continue to attack the front, although the Japanese army has the advantage, but under such artillery bombardment, the Japanese reinforcements can not be timely, the two lines of defense on the front line have been broken one after another, in this case, the 33rd Regiment also began to divide the Japanese army in an attempt to outflank one of the wings.

Similarly, in the rear position, Lu Hai's two battalions had already seized this hill bag, and then the second battalion turned around and cooperated with the third battalion to launch an attack on the Japanese reinforcements at the front.

"The order goes down, the first battalion also joins the battle, storms the positions of the Japanese army and cooperates with the forward operation, and the fourth battalion sticks to the original defense line and cannot act without an order!"

"Yes!"

With Lu Hai's order, the first battalion also joined the battle, and soon the defense turned into an attack, and the strength of the three battalions attacking the Japanese army from behind actually formed a kind of interspersed trend for the three wings on this flank.

"Commander, the thirty-first regiment has launched an offensive, and the front is progressing well!"

"The order goes down, and all the departments will cooperate closely to inflict heavy damage on this group of Japanese troops!"

"Yes!"

"Order the capture team to set off and find out how many Japanese troops there are in Changde City!"

"Yes!"

I am asking, how is the progress of the Fourth Army? If they don't come back, we will be surrounded and annihilated by the superior forces of the Japanese army...
