Chapter Seventy-Four: Ambush Again

On the battlefield, or rather, on the Japanese artillery field, there were patches of flames. www.biquge.info Unfortunately, the officers and men of the vanguard brigade of the Provisional Third Division led by Xiao Qingfa were on the Japanese artillery field. Under the watchful eyes of Division Commander Xiao, the officers and men of the vanguard brigade were completely exposed to the Japanese artillery bombardment.

The devils often go down with a single shell, and one or several soldiers of our army are blown up with incomplete limbs and flesh and blood. These are all his soldiers! Especially Xiao Qingfa, who was the leader of the Red Flower Society when he was young, after joining the army, he still continued the habit of being a big leader, treating the soldiers under his command as helpers, and the officers as apprentices and grandchildren.

Disciples and grandchildren, that is his lifeline! Now seeing the officers and soldiers under his command being shelled and killed by the Japanese army, but there is no way to save him as a commander, Commander Xiao's heart is as uncomfortable as a knife. "Poof!" Xiao Qingfa's hands and feet loosened, and he fell from the edge of the pit to the bottom of the pit.

This time, it really fell, and his ass hit the ground. Fortunately, not long after the shell crater was newly blown up, the soil in the pit was still empty, otherwise, Xiao Qingfa's tail vertebrae would have to be broken! In this way, he also screamed "ouch" in pain, and his tears almost didn't come down.

"Division Commander, Division Commander, Division Commander Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Hearing the sound, the guard Yu Xiang ran over and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Qingfa's arm to pull the person up.

"Don't move, Ah Xiang, don't move yet, let me sit here and rest." His butt hurts, Xiao Qingfa didn't even dare to move, how dare he let the guards help him up?

The vanguard brigade was ambushed by the devil artillery, and the brigade that followed behind did not dare to move. They went further, and the devils hit them like cannonballs. Is it okay to stick your head out and get shelled? They don't have that much guts.

The brigade of the 3rd Division stopped where it was. The brigade commander knew that the New Tenth Army led by Vice President Lin was behind, and he planned to wait for Vice President Lin to come before following the order. As a result, he didn't wait for Vice President Lin, but waited for the Eighth Division of the New Tenth Army.

Liang Xing is a smart person, after he met the brigade commander of the temporary third division, he gasped when he asked about the situation! A brigade, just gone? In fact, it's not gone, it's just that more than half of the casualties are lost. But in Liang Xing's eyes, it's gone.

Of course, Liang Xing would not take his eighth division to suffer from the devil's shells, and Division Commander Liang waved his big hand, "Let's divide our troops and move forward in a roundabout way!" We must kill the devil's artillery and avenge Division Commander Xiao and the brothers in the vanguard brigade! ”

Then divide the troops. Anyway, it's better than running over and being bombed. The 8th Division went to the left, and the brigade of the 3rd Division went to the right, and the two units were like big scissors, and the troops went to flank the artillery units of the devils in two ways. They divided their troops first, and Lin Xincheng behind them divided their troops, which means that the left and right roads each went up one in front and one in the back.

The devil's artillery is so good to flank? The devil has an artillery brigade of six or seven hundred people and twelve guns. On average, more than fifty people operate a cannon. Where is it possible to operate a cannon with so many people? And not to bring more shells, as well as to increase the mobility of the artillery?

Devils have always liked to use resources intensively. The artillery brigade had twelve field guns, and the thirty-fifth wing had eight infantry guns. Major General Tanaka gathered these twenty guns together and fired them, this guy is very powerful! The devil defeated a brigade of Xiao Qingfa with artillery fire, and the follow-up squadron did not come forward, so of course the devil's artillery had to be transferred.

The troops of the 3rd Division rushed fiercely to avenge their comrades-in-arms, and they first rushed to the former Japanese artillery position. When I got here, I saw that the building was empty. A large clearing left only rut marks everywhere, not even a shell casing.

This devil is also stingy, and leaving a bullet case can also be picked up by our fighters to show off. It's not authentic for this thing to come and go, right? The warriors cursed and vented their frustration in their hearts. By the way, check the scene to see if there is anything left behind by the devils.

Generally speaking, the devils are still more particular, and the places where they have fought are often cleaned. Unlike our troops, they usually leave a little mark after passing by. For example, a few pairs of worn shoes, a few broken tents, etc., can leave a memory for future generations.

If it weren't for the burning marks on the ground and the traces left by the wheels of the car, it is estimated that our army would not have found out that this place was once used as an artillery position by the devils.

After searching for more than ten minutes, nothing was found. The brigade commander was also quite breathless, come on, since the devil has transferred, let's go too. However, when he wanted to leave, he found that he couldn't go! Gunfire rang out all around, and his brigade was once again ambushed by the Japanese army!

This time it was the 35th Wing of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army that set up an ambush. Kato Osaku estimated that the Chinese army would come to attack the Japanese artillery, so Osaku pulled the main force of his wing to the periphery of the artillery position while it was dark. When our brigade searched for the Japanese artillery positions, Kato Daisa commanded the Japanese army to quietly surround our troops.

Grenadiers, mortars, light and heavy machine guns were fired together. In the dark of night, our army was suddenly attacked, and the formation was in chaos in an instant. Fortunately, the brigade commander had quite a lot of combat experience, and at the moment of emergency, he ordered the troops to defend on the spot without breaking through in a panic, so as to ensure that the troops did not quickly rout.

The combat effectiveness of a field wing of the Japanese army is quite strong, and our army often has to send a main division to barely block the attack of a wing of devils. However, it is easy for the devil to defeat the opponent, and it is also difficult to annihilate a brigade of 3,000 people of our army without leaving behind.

The commander of the 3rd Division had no better way, so he took the officers and men of the brigade to climb to the ground and shoot at the Japanese army. Don't look at the devil to fight very fiercely, after our army gritted his teeth and resisted his three-plate axe, he was like that.

Heavy machine guns, mortars, Kato Daisa has already played all the cards in his hand, but the battle is still progressing slowly. He's out of the question.

Just when the two sides were in a battle to the death, Lin Xincheng came up with his troops. Liang Xing was actually in front of him, but for some reason, Division Commander Liang and his Eighth Division fell behind Commander Lin.

Although there are many troops led by Lin Xincheng, they are not the main force in the army. Can the supplementary brigade be called the main force? The pistol brigade, the special service regiment, and the sergeant regiment, although these three units are well-equipped, they have always served as the guard unit of the military headquarters, and they rarely participate directly in battles, and their combat effectiveness is still unknown.

Can Lin Xincheng win the battle with these people?
