The imp rifle and machine gun fired at the same time, however, the enemy's bullets were no different from stray bullets, and it was difficult to hit the soldiers of the security regiment on the other side of the river.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the little devil forced the Huai River at all costs.

The forward positions of the security regiment were equipped with several M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns, and the firepower was very ferocious.

The machine gunner operates the machine gun and shoots at the devil's fleet on the river with continuous long bursts, and the bullets easily break the devil's wooden boats and kayaks.

"Baga, the boat is leaking, stop the ......"

The little devils shouted anxiously when they saw the leak in the cabin, and they hurried to get something to plug the leak on the ship.

The boat was basically made of wood, and it was hit by bullets in many places, and there were bullet holes everywhere in the hull, and water quickly leaked into the cabin.

Due to the heavy sandbags piled on the boats, the boats on the river sank even faster, and many wooden boats lost their balance and overturned.

The soldiers of the security regiment took advantage of the chaos of the little devils sitting on the boat, and the bullets kept beckoning.

"Da Da Da!"

"Tubu!"

The little devil was tossed and turned around on the boat, his body swaying, and he could only be reduced to a meat target.

"Ahhh......h

The little devil who was shot screamed miserably, the blood on his body was spilled, and a group of devil soldiers "poof, puff" were planted into the icy river water one after another.

Some of the little devils who were not shot fell into the river, screaming desperately and struggling.

Two kilometers away from the south bank of the Huai River, a devil major general saw that the vanguard troops crossing the river were blocked, angrily scolded "Baga", and ordered the artillery to cover and suppress it.

"Artillery attack, artillery attack, suppression !!"

The little devil artillery set up the mortar and immediately fired continuously at the position of the security regiment.

"Tom tom!"

More than a dozen 90-mm mortars fired continuously, and a rain of shells covered the positions.

The enemy's artillery fire was fierce, killing and wounding many of the soldiers of the security regiment on the positions, and the wounded soldiers fell in pain in the trench fortifications.

Even so, the soldiers of the security regiment still stubbornly stuck to the fortifications to resist the little devils.

"Stretcher team, medics, wounded, come here, come here!!"

The front-line combat commander commanded the troops while calling out to the medics and stretcher teams.

"Beware of artillery fire, shift machine gun positions, move !! quickly"

The position of the machine guns was exposed, and in order to avoid artillery fire, the soldiers of the machine gun crew quickly lifted the guns and ammunition to transfer.

Li Hong held up the binoculars and looked out, his sight was full of bullets and artillery fire, and then his eyes turned to the little devils attacking on the river, as well as the battle situation in the forward position.

"Signal Soldiers!"

"Here!"

"Pass my order, order the first artillery company to use incendiary bombs to knock out the devil's artillery position on the other side of the river, and the second artillery company to strike at the enemy crossing the river!

"Yes, Tuanza!"

The communications corpsman hurriedly picked up the telephone on the conference table and informed the two artillery companies.

Soon after, two batteries of artillery were ready for shelling.

The positions of the two artillery batteries were distributed in different places, and five 105-mm field guns were arranged on each side of the positions.

"Artillery fired in a row!"

"The second artillery company fired!"

With an order, ten field guns began to shell the little devils.

"Tom ......"

One shell after another dragged the line of fire and flew out of the artillery positions in succession.

The first to be hit by artillery fire was the artillery positions of the devils a few kilometers away.

I saw that the shell drew a parabola in the air and fell down fiercely.

"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane......"

The shells let out a terrifying screech.

When the devil's artillery heard the sound of the incoming shells, they quickly dropped the artillery in their hands and fled, quickly changing their positions.

"Artillery fire is coming, hide quickly, hide !! quickly"

The devil artillerymen shouted in terror and ran as fast as they could, into the nearby bomb craters and bunker fortifications.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In the blink of an eye, 105-mm shells poured down continuously, and the bombed devil artillery positions shook violently.

More than a dozen devil artillery soldiers had no time to dodge, and they exploded into the sky on the spot, some of the devils were killed and injured by flying shrapnel, and some devils were swept away by the shock wave and rolled out.

Then, another wave of shells smashed down.

As soon as the shells exploded, it was a big crater, and all the mortars on the devil's position were destroyed by the shells, the barrel parts were torn apart, and even the little devils in the bunker pit were blown out.

The artillery of the first company of the security regiment fired five salvos, and more than 20 105 shells fell down, almost blowing up the devil's position into a scorched earth.

The battlefield was littered with devil corpses, blood stained the ground red, and the stumps of devils were scattered all over the ground.

"Okay, fried well, bitch's little devil!"

Li Hong saw in the telescope that the devil's artillery position had become a sea of fire, and then his eyes moved to the other side of the river.

At this time, the river surface was completely stained red with blood, and the second artillery company of the security regiment carried out continuous artillery bombardment, and the soldiers in the forward position kept firing and strafing, and the little devil crossing the river suffered heavy casualties.

"Tubu!"

"Boom, boom!"

The guns and cannons on the river continued, and the little devils on the boat were beaten and had no power to fight back.

A row of shells smashed on the water, and the shock wave set off a large wave of water, and the water column splashed to a height of more than ten meters, and the battle scene was like turning a river into the sea.

More than a dozen wooden boats and rubber boats were shattered by shells, and a pile of wood fragments floated on the water, and clusters of flames burned on the hull.

Some of the boats were overturned by the shock wave, and hundreds of little devils rolled from the boats into the river.

"Help, help me......"

The little devils struggled in the river, some were killed by shells, some were swept away by the rushing river, and some were blown unconscious and drowned in the river.

"Baga Ya Road, don't be afraid of war, Imperial warriors, ducks and chickens!"

The devil commander had a command knife in his hand and ordered the soldiers to continue crossing the river.

Trying to cross the river in such a situation was simply asking for a dead end, and the devil soldiers were subjected to continuous artillery fire and machine gun fire, suffering heavy casualties, and more than half of the boats crossing the river were destroyed.

The little devil encountered a strong resistance, and the flotilla stopped in the middle of the river, unable to move forward.

The river was full of struggling little devil heads, hundreds of corpses drifted with the waves, and large swaths of red blood flowed into the river, turning the Huai River into a "blood river".

The devil major general on the south bank saw that the river-crossing troops were beaten so badly by the security regiment that he almost dropped the telescope in his hand in anger.

The security regiment has a strong defensive position, and there is also heavy artillery support, if the little devil continues to force the river crossing, there is only one outcome, that is, the total army is annihilated.

Major General Devil thought about it for a while and ordered the combat troops crossing the river to withdraw.

"Turn in, get out of !!"

When the devil soldiers heard the order to retreat, they immediately rowed back to the south bank of the boat and fled from the river in embarrassment.

Of the more than 1,000 enemies, two-thirds were killed, and only two or three hundred devils escaped back to the south bank.
