"Order the brothers to resist, concentrate all the submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, and fire fiercely to block the devil's desperate attack! Ten minutes later, all the staff withdrew from the north bank and crossed the river and turned into the south bank position, and would coordinate with the main force of the fourth battalion to defend the south bank position. ”

Zhang Dabiao waved his hand calmly, it was foreseeable how long the position on the north bank would not be able to hold on.

After all, the devil unit commanded by Matsui Ishine is the 3rd Division, and most of the devil units under the jurisdiction of the A Division are very strong in combat.

For Zhang Dabiao, there is no need for a back-to-back battle. Therefore, Li Yunlong's order to Zhang Dabiao was also to hold the position on the north bank within half an hour, and after killing the arrogance of the devils on the north bank, he would withdraw to the south bank and most of the main forces of the fourth battalion He Yongjie's headquarters would hold the position on the south bank.

"Understood, battalion commander." The front-line commanders and fighters who rushed back to report were secretly relieved when they heard this, and the soldiers on the front line were almost unable to withstand the little devil's desperate attack.

Fortunately, with Zhang Dabiao's order, the troops were relieved to retreat to the south bank after holding out for ten minutes.

As Zhang Dabiao's order was conveyed, all units of the 1st battalion that received the order immediately used all mortars, grenades, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and full fire output. Desperately blocking the desperate attacks of the three Japanese battalions of the 18th Infantry Wing under Kanichiro Ueno, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were constantly killed and fell to the forward positions of the various units of the first battalion.

Takeuchi planted trees behind the three brigades to supervise the battle, and the katana in his hand waved with his life, "Eight grid tooth road, no retreat, kill, continue to rush!" ”

After slashing out a devil who was running backwards with a knife and deterring the devil soldiers who ran backwards from his side, Takeuchi planted a tree and roared angrily.

The katana that was intimidated by Takeuchi's tree slashed and killed a devil deserter, and the rest of the devil soldiers who ran backwards were suddenly terrified one by one, and had to turn around and continue to attack according to Takeuchi's deterrence.

However, even if Takeuchi planted trees to supervise the battle and personally commanded the attack, the three Japanese brigades were still beaten and corpses were strewn all over the battlefield under the fire of the first battalion.

On the battlefield, the devil soldiers all over the mountains attacked the position of the first battalion, but the position of the first battalion was crooked, and many devils rushed to the inside of the triangular depression defensive position constructed by the first battalion.

When some of the devil soldiers found out that they were retreating, a battalion of light and heavy machine gun shooters hidden in the direction of the two wings of the sunken defensive position operated light and heavy machine guns to fire cross-fire, and strangled the devil soldiers who broke into it.

Screams rang out in the ranks of the devils, many of whom could not overcome the fierce attack, and from time to time encountered a battalion of fire from a sunken defensive position, covering them with heavy casualties.

Takeuchi had no choice but to order the attacking troops not to attack and rush for the time being, but to stabilize their positions and attack slowly.

Although it was better, it was quickly caught in a war of attrition in the position.

Major General Kanichiro Ueno, the brigade commander of the 29th Brigade Regiment standing in the rear, had a gloomy face, and the telescope he was holding tightly was almost crushed!

"Yaga!" dog

After scolding briefly, Kanichiro Ueno reluctantly put down the telescope in his hand.

Through the binoculars, Kanichiro Ueno had already seen that the attack of the 18th Infantry Wing had failed for the second time. The attacking troops suffered heavy casualties, the battlefield was covered by explosions one after another, and the defenders' artillery fire was very thief, and when the large number of Japanese troops rushed to their forward positions, the defenders called for a new artillery regiment in the city of Wei County to intercept the artillery fire at the rear of the attacking team.

And Ueno Kanichiro then saw that the defensive position of the first battalion suddenly used hidden light and heavy machine gun fire to counterattack. The mortars on the front line also concentrated the shelling at close range, and the three imperial brigades of the 18th Infantry Wing suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

Sure enough, less than two minutes after the various devil units under the command of Takeuchi planted trees and commanded the attack, he sent a herald to report the battle losses to Kanichiro Ueno.

"Nani? Casualties of at least a thousand? After listening to the heralds sent by the 18th Wing, the old devil was immediately stunned!

The herald of the 18th Wing of the Devil said: "Yes, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, the attacking troops suffered heavy casualties, and there are at least a dozen light and heavy machine guns hidden by the enemy, and most of the troops are Makqin heavy machine guns, firing at close range, and the Imperial soldiers who attacked the enemy's forward positions did not have time to dodge and were fired by dense firepower!" ”。

"Eight Tooth Road! Damn it! After Kanichiro Ueno waved his hand and signaled the herald to go down, he finally couldn't help but roar.

At this time, the chief of staff of the 3rd Division, Tayuan Toshio Osa, also rushed directly to the temporary brigade headquarters of Kanichiro Ueno under the order of Fujita Susu.

After scolding for less than ten seconds, Takashi Toshio Osa hurried to the headquarters of Kanichiro Ueno's temporary field brigade.

"Chief of Staff, why are you here?" Kanichiro Ueno said immediately.

Tian Yuan Lixiong waved his hand and said: "The division commander sent me to supervise the battle, but the second attack failed, what about the losses?" ”。

"More than a thousand casualties!"

Kanichiro Ueno, who replied stubbornly, continued: "Chief of Staff, although the new regiment's defense of the position on the north bank of the river is only more than 2,000 people, it is equipped with light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and the artillery cover is very proficient. And with artillery support from the city of Ul, our attack pressure was very high. In addition, most of the enemy defenders' defensive positions were built into zigzag and sunken defensive positions, rather than straight defensive trenches like the Nationalist Army! ”。

"I'm not listening to what you said about the difficulty, but conveying the order of the division commander that the north shore position must be taken as soon as possible! Otherwise, it would be difficult for the division commander to report to His Excellency the General! You drop, understand? Tian Yuan Lixiong waved his hand and said dissatisfiedly.

After a pause, Tian Yuan Lixiong continued: "As for the difficulties, casualties, I can't take care of it at this time. Finally, Li Yunlong dared to fight a decisive battle with the elite of the empire in Wei County, even if it was worth losing most of the people. The new regiment is the Eighth Route Army unit that ate the 2nd and 6th divisions of the empire. As long as the main force of Li Yunlong's new regiment is completely annihilated, even if it loses most of the strength of the 3rd Division, it will be worth it! ”。

"That's only the concentration of most of the forces of the 29th Brigade to attack! Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not work to rely on the entire strength of the 29th Infantry Wing of our 18th Brigade to attack the enemy's positions on the north bank! Kanichiro Ueno said in a condensed voice.

The old devil Tian member Toshio Daisa looked at the blocking position of the first battalion in front, the smoke was thick, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers killed on the battlefield were very dense.

"I have received instructions from the division commander, Ueno-kun, you can concentrate most of the men and horses of the 29th Brigade, except for the two thousand people directly under the brigade to feint and contain the east and west flanks of Wei County, the rest of the men and horses can be concentrated and storm the enemy's position on the north bank. In addition, the division commander has gathered the three Type 94 light tanks at the bottom of the box and is ready to assault the enemy's position! Cover infantry attacks! Tian member Toshio Dazuo said.
