The 6th Infantry Wing, which was responsible for the first wave of attacks on the blocking position of Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion, was the 6th Infantry Wing under the 5th Brigade, and the wing commander Takeo Sato did not mean to despise the 1st Battalion's blocking position.

Because the blocking position was on a mountain road trampled by people between the forests that must be passed to Weijiatun, it seemed that it was not difficult to attack in the face of the blocking position of the first battalion, but Takeo Sato still maintained his vigilance.

I saw that after the old devil received the order from Riichiro Katayama, although he immediately commanded the three infantry brigades belonging to the wing, the front and rear matched, and prepared to attack with the tactics of pig burst.

However, a wave of fire reconnaissance was still carried out first, and the shells of the rumbling devil mortars smashed first, but the ground shook the ground before the infantry bombed the positions of the first battalion.

"Chief of Staff, the blocking position of the new regiment is not easy to fight! It's been a minute since the artillery reconnaissance, and the other side has not carried out any artillery suppression, it seems that the enemy commander is a calm master, and it is not easy to fight! ”

Takeo Sato stood behind the attack starting position, which was built in a sandbag ring and built a simple command center, and said with a solemn look in his eyes to the chief of staff of the wing, Koichi Kataki, who was also holding a telescope to observe the artillery fire reconnaissance.

When Takashi Kataki heard this, he put down the binoculars in his hand and said in a condensed voice: "Yes, Your Excellency Wing Captain!" There was another blocking position behind the enemy's blocking position. The soldiers who took a detour to reconnoiter have already reported, but it may not be easy for us to make a detour, and it is too difficult to make a detour under the mountains. It can only be attacked head-on, but the brigade commander has already given an order, and if it is not easy to fight, it must be fought! ”。

The roaring artillery fire continued to bombard the battalion, and the artillery reconnaissance of the little devils had not completely stopped.

Seeing that there was no artillery counterattack in the blocking position of the first battalion, and that the heavy fire on the position did not open fire, we knew that the other side already knew the Japanese artillery reconnaissance tactics and did not easily expose the firepower points on the blocking position.

So, Takeo Sato, who had a gloomy face, waved his hand and signaled the devil staff officer on the side to order the artillery behind to stop the artillery reconnaissance.

After all, the Japanese state is a fallen country, strategic resources are very poor, and the shells are not so rich.

What's more, in order to pursue Li Yunlong and them, the devils of the 5th Brigade did not carry too many shells, and if they hit one, they would have one less.

After ordering the artillery reconnaissance to stop, Takeo Sato frowned and said: "Forget it, the artillery reconnaissance can't force out the fire points on the opponent's position, so there is only a strong attack!" The 1st Infantry Brigade, the 2nd Infantry Brigade, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade were ordered to attack simultaneously on the left, center, and right, and for the first attack, it was necessary to penetrate the enemy's blocking position. As long as you enter the blocking position of the new regiment, half the battle will be won! Order the artillery, artillery fire to suppress the enemy position, wait for the infantry to rush fifty meters in front of the enemy position, and extend the artillery shelling behind the enemy position! If the enemy has artillery fire to counterattack, suppress it immediately. We need to solve the enemy position in front of us in one fell swoop! Attack in two minutes! ”。

"Hello, Wing Commander, I'll deploy right away!"

Takashi Kataki, the chief of staff of the wing, paused heavily, and then walked away quickly.

The time of two minutes passed quickly, and three Japanese infantry battalions of the 6th Infantry Wing of the Takeo Sato Command Post Department attacked on the left, center and right.

The devils first carried out heavy bombardment with artillery fire to cover the infantry charge.

"Kill, kill! For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, kill the twitter, onboard, onboard! ”

The captains of the three Japanese infantry battalions of the 6th Infantry Wing drew their katana and slashed forward, roaring and directing their respective brigades to attack.

Nearly 3,200 devils were divided into three groups, and carried out a frontal assault on the left, center, and right.

The roaring Japanese artillery fire suppressed the artillery bombardment with all the artillery fire of the entire Japanese 5th Brigade and Regiment, and the position of Zhang Dabiao's first battalion shook the ground and the smoke of gunpowder billowed out.

On the position, the dirt piled in front of the trenches was blown loosely.

All the soldiers of the first battalion hid in the anti-artillery holes of the trenches.

In order to deal with the artillery bombardment of the little devils, in fact, one anti-artillery hole can solve most of the casualties in the artillery fire, although it cannot be 100%, but it is very effective.

"The devil is really bloody, at least one artillery brigade shelled my position! Hmph, order the brothers, get ready for battle! Kill me hard, beat him up little devil! Don't skimp on ammo! Open to play! No, I asked the regimental commander for support. ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" A herald had already replied, and then went out to deliver the order in the face of artillery fire.

And the large-scale artillery bombardment of the little devils did not last long, and when the artillery fire of less than two minutes was over, the devil soldiers of the three Japanese infantry brigades carried rifles and advanced with murderous attacks under the cover of dense forest trees.

It wasn't until most of the devils attacked within 200 meters that Zhang Dabiao gave an order, and all the soldiers of the first battalion emerged from the anti-artillery holes in the trenches.

One by one, they held submachine guns and rifles and fired fiercely at the incoming Japanese troops.

"Dada, dada!!!"

"Boom, boom!!!"

......

The fierce light and heavy machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, as well as the artillery units belonging to the first battalion and the artillery sent by Wang Chengzhu to suppress the formation, all opened fire, and the first time the crossfire covered at least more than a thousand little devils.

"Bagaya Road, hidden, quickly hidden!"

The devil captains of the three 6th Infantry Wings who commanded the front line were terrified and looked at the firepower coming from the opposite side, and roared in horror one by one.

It's just that the battlefield is open, and only a few devil soldiers close to their respective commanders hear the order to pay attention to concealment.

However, the situation on the battlefield was very fast, and the firepower of the first battalion was beyond the expectations of the commanders of the devils of the 6th Infantry Wing, and the firepower covered a wide area, and Wang Chengzhu's artillery bombardment was very rapid, and the attacking devils of the bombing cried and cried for their mothers.

In the dense forest, bullets flew everywhere, fragments of the explosion flew everywhere, and screams came one after another, and it had to be said that the counterattack of the first battalion was very effective.

Takeo Sato, the commander of the 6th Infantry Wing commanding operations in the rear, was stunned when he saw this, and Koichi Kataki, the chief of staff of the wing on the side, also saw from the telescope that the Japanese troops on attack were covered by the opponent's firepower for a moment, and they were beaten to the point of crying dad and mother.

"Captain, there is an ambush on the other side, the firepower is too strong, withdraw!" Takaichi Kataki said in a hurry, under the sudden coverage of this kind of enemy firepower at close range, it is impossible for more than 3,000 Japanese troops to attack, not seven or eight hundred.

Takeo Sato, who gritted his teeth, shook his head and said: "This is the first wave of attacks, and withdrawing at this time can only give people a reckless blow on their backs." Order to attack the divisions, continue the offensive, and give me a blocking position for the Eighth Route Army! Those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed, and they will be killed, hurry up! ”。

"Hey, Captain! This? Koichi Katagi said in a low voice of surprise! Isn't this sending the devil soldiers under his command to death?
