"Hayi, brigade commander!" Miyamoto Taro and others responded one after another, and immediately went to prepare.

At the command of Abe Jiro, the Japanese troops, who had arrived at Kolizhuang for less than a minute, immediately prepared for an attack on the commanding heights of Korizhuang and Lijiapo on the left and right flanks and on the left and right flanks under the leadership of Taro Miyamoto and others.

The flames of war burned in an instant, and more than 4,600 Japanese troops, under the orders of Abe Jiro, attacked Li Yunlong's defensive position in three directions, and the offensive posture was very sufficient and arrogant.

"it, come on! Damn, Lao Tzu crossed over here, and he didn't kill your little devil! In the rear headquarters of Xiao Li Zhuang's main position, Li Yunlong sneered and looked at the movements of the Japanese army with a telescope and said secretly in his heart.

"Yo Xi, kill the twitter! Fry me! With a wave of his hand, Abe Jiro ordered the commander of the artillery position behind him to begin shelling the position of Korizhuang and the commanding heights of its two wings.

Generally speaking, when the Japanese army dealt with the Celestial Empire army that took the initiative to hold on, the routine was to bombard the artillery first, and the infantry would rush after the artillery had been bombarded, and the infantry would continue to bombard after the artillery had been charged. Under such repetition, if the defenders were stubborn, they would inevitably be bombarded by the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army and suffer heavy casualties, and when the Japanese infantry rushed, the overall situation was basically decided.

For example, Chang Kaishen's regular army units of the Nationalist Army had a lot of brainless defenses, and the defensive positions did not protect the flanks enough, so that under the artillery bombardment, the Japanese infantry attacked from the flanks in a roundabout way, and many of them were routed by the Japanese defenders as soon as they hit the flanks.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The cannon roared, and Abe Jiro accompanied the army with ten Type 92 infantry guns, which had a firing range of more than 2,700 meters and a minimum range of more than 100 meters, which was very suitable for use in mountainous terrain conditions.

The artillery strength of the Japanese army is also very strong, and it is very easy to deal with the ordinary national army that is holding its position. Therefore, at this time, Abe Jiro listened to the roar of artillery fire and saw that Xiao Li Zhuang and the commanding heights on the left and right flanks were bombed by Japanese artillery fire, and it was almost impossible for there to be living creatures in the defensive positions of the new regiment that were bombed.

"Yo Xi, kill the twitter, the infantry attack!" Jiro Abe pulled out the bushido that he had written with him, and gave the order to attack with a murderous spirit.

Suddenly, the Japanese army concentrated all its forces and attacked the defensive positions of the new regiment in three directions.

At this time, Xiaolizhuang and Lijiapo, who were hiding in the defensive position, and all the units of the new regiment at the commanding heights of Zuojiapo, all crawled out of the anti-artillery holes, but under the fierce shelling of the Japanese army, the new regiment still suffered a few casualties.

After all, the fragments of artillery shells are flying everywhere, and they are either dead or maimed when encountered, and it is quite reasonable to have casualties under artillery fire.

After the Japanese artillery bombardment, the Japanese guns scattered their attacks towards their respective offensive targets before the smoke cleared.

It has to be said that at the beginning of the Japanese army's attack on the Celestial Empire, many of the regular army units of the Japanese army under its jurisdiction were Japanese divisions and regiments with strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, under the superior artillery fire, many regular army units of the Nationalist Army suffered more defeats under the attack of the Japanese army.

However, the Eighth Route Army was not a national army, so at this time, Abe Jiro believed in the strength of the Japanese troops under his command, and thought that he would press all the Japanese troops, and wanted to annihilate the new regiment that blocked the attack in one fell swoop, and completely annihilate Li Yunlong's troops, which was really a bit arrogant.

At this time, after the Japanese artillery bombardment, the Japanese infantry immediately launched a scattered offensive formation and advanced towards the commanding heights of the Xiaolizhuang position and the two wings.

In addition, the Japanese army also continued to use heavy machine guns to cover the high points on both sides and the main position of Xiaolizhuang to cover the Japanese infantry attack.

"Damn, the devil of the 15th Brigade and 16th Wing commanded by Jiro Abe is worthy of being the regular army of the Japanese army, the tactics are very strong, and the offensive formation is not chaotic at all! Made, it seems that this resistance battle has been fought! Order the commanding heights on both flanks, and wait for the Japanese to completely enter the depths, and use heavy machine guns to lock up the follow-up attacking troops of the Japanese army! After Li Yunlong climbed to the roof and observed with a telescope, he immediately shouted to a herald beside him.

The herald of the new regimental headquarters immediately responded: "Yes, regimental commander! Then he rushed to convey Li Yunlong's order.

At this time, there was a sudden fog, Xiaolizhuang was close to the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and there were mountains and mountains everywhere around, and mountain fog was a common thing.

And this fog suddenly created an obstacle to the defense of the new group.

"Made, tell the brothers, all cheer up and resist the first wave of attacks from the devils!" At this time, above the commanding heights on both sides, Zhang Dabiao and Duan Peng both ordered the new group of soldiers below in unison.

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" The soldiers responded suddenly, and the rifles in their hands were already aimed at the Japanese soldiers attacking in front.

At this time, the Japanese army had already attacked and advanced to the bottom of the commanding heights of the left and right flanks of Xiaolizhuang.

The two commanding heights were the new regimental positions that the Japanese army had to uproot first, and at this time the battle had already begun, and under the fire from the two commanding heights, the Japanese troops on the two flanks were suddenly beaten and began to suffer casualties.

"Bagaya Road, damn it, order Ono to take his infantry brigade and take the commanding heights of Zuojiapo for me, and the rest of the troops will take a detour to the two flanks of the side of the mountain on Zuojiapo and attack in a roundabout way! Hurry up and drop! Miyamoto Taro, who attacked Zuojiapo, commanded more than 1,600 Japanese troops at this time, and slaughtered here, and saw that Zhang Dabiao on the mountain had commanded the soldiers to condescendingly shoot the attacking Japanese soldiers under the mountain, which immediately angered Miyamoto Taro.

Taro Miyamoto temporarily took over the Sakata Wing, and now there are less than 600 Japanese soldiers of the Sakata Wing, who are still alive and well, and the new regiment actually broke through from the front of their encirclement, and was once completely annihilated in the Lock Demon Valley.

This is already a huge shame for Taro Miyamoto.

"Hayi, Wing Captain!" Ono, the captain of one of the Japanese infantry battalions of the Sakata Wing, who was ordered by Taro Miyamoto, said with a heavy pause, and soon immediately commanded the Japanese soldiers of his brigade to attack the defensive position of the new regiment of Zuojiapo head-on.

"Kill the twitter, kill the twitter, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, kill the people of Hikshichina! Above! Miyamoto Taro jerked out his katana and led the Japanese army to attack.

In an instant, the battle suddenly became fierce. Under the cover of artillery fire and light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese troops did not pay the slightest attention to the rifle fire of the new regiment of more than 200 soldiers commanded by Zhang Dabiao on Zuojiapo Mountain.

At this time, Miyamoto Taro thought that although the new regiment with only rifle fire occupied the commanding heights of Zuojiapo, the Japanese army had the weapons and equipment of the wing reinforced by Abe Jiro, which was enough to defeat the new regiment that dared to block the Japanese attack.

"Battalion commander, the little devil has divided his troops and attacked in a roundabout way! You see! At this time, Miyamoto Taro commanded the Japanese army to attack Zuojiapo, and suddenly divided his troops from the flanks and went up the mountain along both sides of the mountain to attack Zuojiapo. At first glance, it is the old routine of the Japanese army outflanking the defenders' positions!
