Most of the Japanese pillboxes and turrets were made of mud mixed with millet and straw.

The turrets are made of bricks at important locations.

Grenades simply don't work.

Ding Wei ordered the troops, infantry artillery and mortars to open fire together,

From the front of the Japanese defensive position, a hole was torn.

The area around Zuoyun is all plains, there are no mountains and hills, and the troops are not sheltered when they fight.

It is easy to attack in such a place.

Moreover, the Japanese army's pillboxes and turrets were staggered, and there were quite a few of them.

It's not so easy to tear a hole.

But fortunately, the brigade commander's order was, fight slowly, don't be in a hurry, just defeat Zuoyun within three days.

The current task of their new regiment is to force Zuoyun's Japanese army to ask for help from the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army in Datong.

This is a common tactic in the art of war, encircling points to send reinforcements.

This Ding Wei is good at.

Ding Wei's plan was to clear the outlying positions of the Japanese army on the first day, and in order to smoothly annihilate Zuoyun's Japanese army in the next step, it was necessary to cleanly clear the pillboxes and artillery towers in front of the Japanese defense.

In this way, his troops will be able to successfully surround Zuo Yun.

On the first day, the Japanese army in Zuoyun would definitely immediately ask for help from the 15th Brigade in Datong.

Lao Tzu This is the main force, the artillery battalion killed a few of his turrets, if the devil is not stupid, he will definitely know that it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

In order to convince the Japanese army that it was the main force that attacked them, Ding Wei directly let all the troops deploy.

Hula, Zuo Yun's periphery was full of soldiers from Ding Weixin's regiment, densely packed.

Five thousand!

There is no end to this unfolding.

Originally, the Japanese troops on the periphery of Zuoyun were a little stunned by the bombardment of the infantry artillery of the new regiment, and when they looked at the opponent's men and horses, they were immediately frightened.

"Yaga! This is the main force of the other side! Immediately report to the captain that it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army that is attacking us! That's about 8,000 people! Request reinforcements!! ”

The military cao of a Japanese artillery tower immediately asked the devil to call Zuoyun's Japanese army.

Is the other party crazy today?

Why the sudden attack here?

At this time, the captain of the Japanese army in Zuoyun had already walked out of the room, and he also felt a little strange after hearing the sound of artillery.

The soldier who reported just now said that it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

It seems to be true.

Ah, it's wrong for him.

But if you fight, you will fight, who made me so extraordinary.

Hearing the sound of artillery in the distance, the Japanese captain Taio Inoshita ordered his troops to reinforce Zuoyun's outer positions.

If the other side actually has artillery, it must be the main force.

Judging from the sound of artillery, there must be seven or eight infantry guns alone.

There is also the sound of mortars.

Taio Inu frowned and thought for a moment.

He is probably clear about the configuration of the opponent's weapons and equipment.

Even the main forces of the opposing side, the troops of a regiment, simply do not have infantry artillery.

Seven or eight infantry guns, calculated according to the opponent's establishment, must be the establishment of a brigade.

With a brigade to attack Zuoyun, almost.

One brigade on the other side has about 3,000 to 4,000 people.

Yo West!

Definitely not bad.

Taio nodded and agreed with his analysis.

Their troops, compared with the combat effectiveness of the other side, are normally converted according to five to one.

The opponent has five times the strength of the troops, and can fight a tie with their troops.

However, this ratio is converted to field troops.

If it were a guard like them, the ratio would have to be changed to three to one.

Moreover, this is an approximation, not accurate.

The other party actually even has infantry artillery this time, which shows that they are bound to win Zuo Yun.

Then one of my brigades is not enough!

The location of the left cloud is important.

It is the frontier of the whole Datong.

It is directly connected to the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and the location is very important and cannot be lost.

"Immediately send a report to the brigade commander that in the Zuoyun area, the main force of the other side was found, and the opponent's strength was about 6,000 people, and asked for reinforcements."

Taio Inoshita directly doubled his estimate.

Only then will the brigade commander send troops over.

If the report says that there are only 3,000 people, then the brigade commander will call him a stupid pig.

The commander of the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Komoto Shota, who received the telegram, was greatly shocked.

The main force of the other party actually appeared Zuo Yun.

Take the initiative to attack Zuoyun?

What's going on?

This is very rare.

The opponent's troops, the last large-scale operation, were still attacking Ping'an County.

At that time, the other side dispatched 10,000 people.

It's been a long time since the last time.

This time, 8,000 people were dispatched to attack Zuo Yun, what stimulated them again?

The commander of the Japanese brigade, Kogen Shota, looked at the map in his war room and was very puzzled.

8,000 people......

There are also infantry artillery, which is certainly undoubtedly the opposing troops.

"Order, the 116th Wing, the 127th Wing, immediately send reinforcements to Zuoyun. The troops surrounding the opposing side must be annihilated completely. ”

Either way, this force must be annihilated.

actually took the initiative to attack Zuo Yun, and his courage was too great.

The two Japanese wings that received the order immediately set out from Datong to prepare to reinforce Zuo Yun.

Xu Hu's special combat team was already near Datong, and as soon as these two wings of the devils came out, Xu Hu immediately sent a telegram to Li Lei.

After receiving the telegram, Li Lei ordered a temporary regiment to prepare for battle, and must kill these two wings of the Japanese army.

Because of the ammunition problem, Li Lei did not dispatch two armored battalions, nor did the heavy artillery battalion.

It was only for the first and second battalions to ambush in the area of Qifeng Mountain in Huayan Temple.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th battalions were sent by Li Lei to the areas of Yanggao, Yangyuan, and Huojiaoling, preparing to stop the Japanese reinforcements from Zhangjiakou.

At the same time, Li Lei also received news from David that the ammunition he ordered had been shipped to Midway.

If there are no accidents, Chen Anping will dock at the port of Shanghai in five days.

Li Lei immediately contacted Wang Manchun and told her that a batch of important goods would arrive at the port of Shanghai within a week, and asked her to ensure that this batch of goods entered Hengshe smoothly and was transported to Shanxi.

If all goes well, the ammunition will arrive in about eight days.

Now Li Lei has confidence.

When the time comes, as soon as Datong is defeated, this batch of ammunition will be immediately ready for the next battle.

Very timely.

Ding Wei's new regiment is still shelling.

Although the power of infantry artillery cannot be compared with howitzers, it is more than enough to hit the turret.

If the two guns go down, the devil's turret will be directly overturned.

The ammunition of the new regiment of infantry guns was still sufficient.

For this battle, Ding Wei took out all the family resources of the new regiment.

The artillery battalion's shelling was very effective, and after a morning of shelling, there was not much left of the devil's turrets and pillboxes on the front.

The positions of the Japanese troops on the periphery of Zuoyun did not have many troops at all.

In addition, the troops are scattered, the defense is okay, and if you attack, you don't have that ability at all.

It turned out that there were pillboxes and turrets, and they could still cope with the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

Now the pillboxes and turrets have been knocked out, and the defending Japanese troops have nothing to rely on.

With a few hundred people, it simply doesn't work.

Ding Wei's new group, but there are thousands of people!

However, Ding Wei did not let the troops attack immediately from the front.

After the pillboxes and turrets of the devils were destroyed, Ding Wei ordered the artillery to launch an artillery bombardment on the Japanese trenches.

Suppressed with artillery, then three battalions of troops, more than two thousand men, were ordered to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.

Hundreds of Japanese troops were overwhelmed by powerful artillery fire and could not raise their heads.

The shells kept smashing over, kicking up patches of dirt.

A few unlucky devils were blown up directly.

The head gurgled on the ground and ran around.

In addition to the infantry artillery, all mortars and grenadiers of the new regiment went into battle.

As long as it is a weapon that hits far away, it will be fired in one go.

The captain of the Japanese army was surprised to find that they could not raise their heads at all, let alone shoot, that is, they were hiding in the trenches, and it was difficult to say whether they could save their lives.

What kind of troops is this?

Why is the fire so fierce?

A few devils didn't believe in this evil and were about to go up with guns, but as soon as they showed their heads, a sudden sound came.

Those devils were directly shot in the head by heavy machine guns.

The brain melon seeds were immediately beaten into chrysanthemums, and the white brain pulp flew everywhere, as if it was raining.

The captain of the devil squad who watched grinned.

This kind of death is too tragic.

A devil soldier Cao crawled over: "Captain, if this continues, our troops will all be shattered." ”

The devil squad leader nodded.

Of course he does.

There are thousands of people on the other side!

And artillery, now that they have no cover from the turret, they are not opponents of the other side at all.

As it stands, you can't retreat if you want to.

If you retreat, you will only die faster.

"Do you have any ideas?" When the leader of the devil squad saw Jun Cao say this, he thought he had some idea.

"Captain, it's really not good, let's make a long live charge! As long as the opponent's first attack is repulsed, we can retreat to Zuoyun.

It's perfectly okay to stay there and wait for help. ”

The leader of the devil squad was stunned for a moment.

You crawled over here and just told me this?

Is this a bad idea?

Long live the charge?

Don't you look at what kind of firepower the other party is now?

Let's not talk about the artillery, you listen to the sound of the opponent's light and heavy machine guns, it's so dense, and now rushing up is completely looking for death.

I bet you didn't even get a good look at the other side before you were strafed by the machine guns.

You want to die, please don't pull me.

The captain of the devil squad was about to scold the military Cao with his head and face, when his eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked at the devil army in front of him, this unlucky bastard, he can attract firepower!

Let him charge forward with his men, and I can retreat immediately with a squad while he is charging.

Aha!

Since you want to be cannon fodder, then fulfill you.

"Yo Xi! Kimura-kun, your suggestion is very good. You immediately take the Aoki squadron and make a counter-charge.

You are all warriors of the Empire, and I believe that your courage will definitely scare the other side into retreating. ”
