Kotaro Yokoyama personally rushed to a place less than 100 meters away from the entrance of Ushimura Village with his adjutant Koji Kitano, and stopped behind a small hidden dirt slope to observe the defense of the new regiment at the entrance of the village opposite.

After observing for a while, Kotaro Yokoyama frowned and put down the binoculars in his hand, and said to his henchman Koji Kitano, "Kitano-kun, it seems that our opponent is worthy of eating a lot of the Imperial Army's Shina Army!" This defensive position is indeed in a good place! This time, if we want to defeat the resistance of the Chinese army head-on, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult! ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency Shaozuo!"

Kitano Koji nodded, pointed to the direction of the entrance of Niucun Village on the opposite side, and said solemnly: "The defensive position of the new regiment cleverly uses the unique terrain and sets up defensive blocking positions layer by layer!" It has at least three or so positions, not far apart in depth. Moreover, the defensive trenches built by the new regiment were extremely curved, and most of them were deployed in front-line positions with all their strength like the troops of the National Army of China! It's a layer-by-layer echelon configuration, and it's already night, and it's inconvenient to attack! Your Excellency! ”。

At this time, Kotaro Yokoyama had already learned from the mouth of the Japanese reconnaissance soldiers that the terrain of Ushimura was unique, and there was a Xiushui River less than 50 meters away from his feet, although the river surface was not wide, only a few meters, and he could cross the river by wading, but in this situation at night, it was still very unfavorable to fight.

For the attacking side, if there is a river, it will also be hit by the fire of the new regiment at the entrance of the village, and the casualties will inevitably increase.

"Yo Xi, Kitano-kun, you're right. But we had to attack! Judging by the current situation and the defensive strength of the enemy army on the opposite side, the main force of the new regiment can be regarded as being pursued by us! Judging from the current situation, the Chinese army should be pursued by us until the evening, and they dare not continue the night march easily! This was our chance and had to fight! Are the tentative troops ready? Kotaro Yokoyama looked solemnly at the direction of the village entrance opposite, and then waved his hand to Koji Kitano beside him.

Kitano Koji immediately stood up and said: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, you are already ready!" ”。

"Yo Xi! Order the squadron that is tentative of the attack, and it is ready to attack! Order the artillery troops, bombard the entrance of the village with artillery fire, cover the attack of the tentative troops, hurry up! Kotaro Yokoyama waved his hand and said murderously.

Kitano Koji paused with a hideous face and said, "Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" He turned around and walked away heavily.

Soon, the devils of a squadron of the Japanese army's tentative attack who had been ordered to launch a battle formation under the supervision of Koji Kitano. The artillery squad of the Japanese army also immediately went forward and built an artillery position in a depression not far from the entrance of Niucun Village.

The Japanese artillery squad was generally supported by two Type 92 infantry guns and six 82mm mortars.

I saw that the commander of the Japanese artillery squad ordered the Japanese artillery soldiers under his command to swing out two Type 92 infantry guns and six 82-mm mortars, because it was already night, and Yokoyama Kotaro took most of the Japanese troops of Yuji who were still able to move out of the city to pursue the new regiment, and he did not have time to observe the hot air balloon, and could only use the primitive thumb ranging method to roughly determine the coordinates of the shelling.

The correction shells were first fired using the original ranging method, and then they were repaired before large-scale artillery bombardment.

Soon, the Japanese artillery commander fired a correction shell with the thumb ranging method, and after adjustment, soon ordered a massive shelling.

I saw a shell with a tail flame, whistling and squeaking and screaming and smashing into the defensive position of the new regiment, and then several positions built by the new regiment at the entrance of Niucun Village suddenly exploded bursts of dazzling artillery fire and fire columns!

"Boom, boom!!"

The new regiment of positions blown up by the shells shook the ground, and the artillery fire covered the positions.

", the little devil has really made a lot of money. At the beginning, so many artillery fires were used to bombard labor and capital, so that the brothers should pay attention to avoiding artillery! The troops in the forward positions and their flanks, pay attention and do not let the devils break through from the flanks! On the roof of a village in the north, less than 20 meters away from the entrance of the village, Li Yunlong's headquarters was set up here to observe the Japanese artillery bombardment, and Li Yunlong quickly ordered the heralds around him to pass the order.

The herald standing beside Li Yunlong immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes, regiment commander!" Soon he turned around and went downstairs to the front to give orders.

At this time, the Japanese artillery fire kept bombarding the defensive position of the new regiment at the entrance of the village, and the artillery fire completely covered the small village entrance, and the smoke of the artillery fire from the shells soon covered the defensive position built by the new regiment.

Taking advantage of the favorable gap between their own artillery bombardment, a squadron of devil soldiers of the Japanese tentative attack took advantage of the cover of artillery fire to step on the shell explosion point less than 10 meters away and kill it.

I have to say that at this time, the infantry and artillery coordination tactics of the elite troops on the front line of the Japanese army were still very strong, and they cooperated well with each other, and the devil soldiers took advantage of the artillery fire and the cover of night to quickly cross the Xiushui River not far south of the entrance of Niucun Village, and boarded the north bank to attack the entrance of the village.

"Damn, brothers, call me!" At this time, guarding the front line of the main position at the entrance of the village was the first battalion and one company of Zhang Dabiao's headquarters, Sun Dehai's headquarters, Sun Dehai saw that the Japanese army had crossed the river, and immediately sneered and ordered loudly.

Soon, under Sun Dehai's order, the soldiers of the first battalion and company of the first trench defense relied on the trenches built to fire at the Japanese soldiers attacking from the opposite side.

In the face of the pungent smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers of the company used the rifles in their hands and some light machine guns and submachine guns as firepower, trying their best to block the attack of the devil soldiers.

"Tutu, tusk, tusk!"

One bullet after another suddenly erupted into a blazing bullet and shot at the incoming Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers who hit them suddenly attacked one by one.

The first line of defense is guarded by Sun Dehai's elite veterans, all of whom have outstanding marksmanship, even in the dark of night at this time, they can kill a devil with one shot. There was only one squadron of devils who tried to attack, and although the artillery fire of the little devils continued to cover the artillery fire for a moment, the power of the Japanese artillery fire was greatly weakened in the night.

And the night fighting ability of the soldiers of the new regiment is much stronger than the devil soldiers of the 29th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army under Kotaro Yokoyama.

Soon, after a counterattack and confrontation, the devil soldiers who tried to attack left at least seventy corpses in embarrassment and quickly evacuated to the rear.

In the first Ushimura village mouth confrontation, the Japanese devil soldiers who tried to attack suffered heavy casualties, and Kotaro Yokoyama, who was watching the attack of the Japanese troops in the rear, also frowned and was silent!
