The colonel took a sip of water and yelled at the communications soldier next to him: "Quick, immediately send a telegram to the brigade headquarters, the devils will launch a fierce attack on my front, and the whole regiment will suffer more than half of the casualties, ask for reinforcements!" ”

"Yes, Tuanza!"

The communications corpsman cleared the mud and sand from the table and quickly contacted the brigade headquarters.

There were a few "ticks" from the radio, and suddenly, several shells fell.

"Boom, boom!!"

Two 75-mm shells hit the regimental headquarters directly, and the explosive fire regiment instantly swallowed the headquarters.

In the blink of an eye, all the fortifications of the headquarters bunker collapsed, and the surrounding area became a mess.

Just now, the colonels in the command headquarters, as well as the signal corps, were all buried in the headquarters.

Smelling the explosion, more than a dozen officers and soldiers nearby ran out of the headquarters in a panic.

"Quick, quick, the regiment is buried inside, save people, save people!!"

Soldiers gathered around a pile of rubble and hurriedly moved away the backlog of fortified bunkers.

Everyone took the tools and worked separately for a while, dragging out five or six bloody corpses, and all the officers and soldiers buried in the ruins, including the colonel, died heroically.

The surrounding soldiers looked at the colonel, who was covered in shrapnel, and then they cried out loudly with grief.

"Tuanza, Tuanza!!"

As soon as the colonel died, the officers and men in the forward position could be left without a backbone.

Soon, a lieutenant colonel stood up and scolded loudly: "Damn, why are you crying at this time? Where is there immortality in the war, the regiment is sacrificed, Lao Tzu will take you to continue to do devils! ”

"Chief of Staff, we listen to you, kill the devil to avenge the group!" The soldiers gritted their teeth and roared in unison.

"Brothers, follow me who are not afraid of death, hold the position, and swear to live and die with the position!!"

The lieutenant colonel led the officers and soldiers back to the position again, and everyone was ready to fight the devil to the end......

"Tom !!"

"Da !!"

The guns and artillery in the forward positions were constantly fired, and the fighting was fierce.

Relying on their superiority in firepower, the devil soldiers completely suppressed the defenders.

The casualties of the defenders were heavy, they lost heavy firepower, and the overall firepower of the defenders of the whole regiment became weaker and weaker.

The attacking forces of the devils seized the opportunity to advance from several directions at the same time, quickly opening a defensive breakthrough from their positions.

"Imperial soldiers, occupy the positions in front, ducks and chickens give !!"

Hundreds of devils swarmed up and rushed to the forward position of the 18th Brigade.

"Brothers, the devil rushes to the position and kills the devil!"

The defenders of the 18th Brigade fought very tenaciously, and even if there were heavy casualties and no reinforcements, the soldiers would never take a step back from their positions, and vowed to live and die with their positions.

"Brothers, kill devils!!"

The defenders pounced like hungry wolves on the devils who rushed to the position, fighting for their lives.

When the defenders ran out of bullets, they fought the devils hand-to-hand with their broadswords, and when they cut the blades with their broadswords, they lifted stones and smashed them at the enemy, or used their teeth as weapons to bite the enemy.

……

In Taierzhuang City, the headquarters of the security regiment.

Li Hong had just finished inspecting the troops outside the city and rushed back to the regiment headquarters when suddenly, he heard a burst of artillery in the distance.

The sound of shells exploding one after another, and the sound of artillery came from more than ten kilometers north of the city.

Although the battle points were so far apart, the sound of gunfire was particularly harsh at night, and a vibration on the ground was faintly felt.

Li Hong frowned, picked up the telescope he had just put down, quickly climbed to the eaves of a multi-story building, and then held the telescope and looked in the direction of the north of the city.

The night sky was reddened by dense artillery fire, and the bullet fire line shuttling everywhere in the dark night, as well as the ballistic firing line of tracer bullets, was even more conspicuous.

In the night sky, flares rose from time to time, and soldiers on both sides could be vaguely seen fighting on the positions.

After observing the battlefield outside the north of the city for a while, the devils had already captured the forward position of the 18th Brigade and were storming the second line of defense of the 18th Brigade in one go.

Li Hong knew that it was the 4th Division that attacked the position of the 18th Brigade, but he did not expect that the real combat effectiveness of the 4th Division would be so strong.

As a friendly force in the security regiment and Li Hong as an adviser in the theater of operations, he is naturally very aware of the strength and defense of the 18th Brigade, as well as the situation of weapons and firepower.

Although the weapons and equipment of the 18th Brigade are inferior to those of the Central Army, the officers and men of the 18th Brigade have a stubborn will to fight, and their overall combat effectiveness is not weak.

The night attack battle of the devil really surprised Li Hong, in such a short time, the attacking troops of the 4th Division of the devil captured the forward position and hit the second line of defense of the 18th Brigade.

Originally, Li Hong had estimated the combat effectiveness of the 4th Division, but as a result, he still underestimated the tactics and combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division.

Of the 3 devil divisions outside Taierzhuang, Li Hong is most worried about this "waste" 4th division.

He had never fought against this unit, and the 4th Division had used many perverse tactics on the battlefield, and the opponent's tactics were really unpredictable.

According to the offensive speed and firepower of the 4th Division, it will not be long before the second line of defense of the 18th Brigade will be broken through by the devils.

Looking at the close-range tug-of-war between the officers and soldiers of the 18th Brigade and the devil troops, Li Hong was also beyond the help of the whip commander, and in such a battlefield environment, the artillery of the security regiment could not provide effective artillery support at all.

The 18th Brigade will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the 4th Brigade, and once all the positions on the periphery of the north of the city are lost, it will directly threaten the inner defense line of Taierzhuang.

The 2nd Army did not have much troops, the total number was less than 30,000, and now the 2nd Army simply could not draw troops to reinforce the 18th Brigade.

The closest to the position of the 18th Brigade is the security regiment in the city, and now in this critical situation, only the security regiment can rescue and hold the position.

Li Hong's mind was running fast and he thought for a moment.

The top priority at the moment is to increase the number of troops to rescue the 18th Brigade, otherwise, let the 4th Division of the Devil fight outside Taierzhuang in one go, and Taierzhuang will be difficult to defend.

Thinking of the critical situation of the battle, Li Hong immediately returned to the regiment headquarters.

"Signal Corps, immediately connect the cavalry battalion, as well as the third and fourth battalions, and order them to quickly reinforce the 18th Brigade outside the northern city!"

Li Hong looked a little anxious, and then added: "Strictly order the battalion commanders of several battalions, regardless of all costs, to hold the last line of defense outside the north of the city, and never let the devils cross the defense line one step!" ”

"Yes, Tuanza!"

The signal soldier picked up the telephone and hurriedly conveyed Li Hong's combat order just now.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Not long after, all the officers and men of the three battalions of the security regiment were assembled.

These three battalions received Li Hong's order, and without the slightest delay, all the troops rushed to the north of the city at the fastest speed.

After Li Hong gave the order to the reinforcements, he sat alone in the conference room uneasily, rubbing his hands on his suddenly swollen head.

As soon as these battalions were withdrawn, the troops in the city were empty, and the situation of the security regiment was also very bad.

Next, how to deal with the other two devil divisions of the under-armed security regiment is another headache......
