Chapter 910 The cautious 27th Division

The other units of the 1st Corps were responsible for encircling the 106th Division on the periphery of Wanjialing, and at the same time, they were also responsible for blocking the 101st Division and the 9th Division that were pinning down the Japanese army.

Therefore, the 9th Army could only take on the heavy task of attacking the 106th Division first.

When the artillery of the two sides was engaged in an artillery battle, the reinforcements of the 27th Division of the Devil had already arrived near Qilin Peak.

The devil's reinforcements did not go well, because the 60th Division of the national army had already rushed to the area of Qilin Peak and established a defensive position.

The 27th Division of the Devil wants reinforcements, and Qilin Peak is the only way for the enemy, so the two sides will inevitably have a fierce battle.

The 27th Division of the Devil is a newly formed unit, and this unit is very similar to the fighting style of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army.

The 27th Division of the Japanese Army has only three newly formed wings and combat establishments, and the number of people is not large, but the combat effectiveness of the devils is very strong, but this unit has just been formed on the battlefield and does not have much merit.

In the past, this unit participated in the "77 Incident", and it was also this group of Japanese devils who used artillery to open the door of China.

Although the 27th Division of the Japanese Army is unknown and cannot be compared with other elite divisions of the Japanese Army, this unit has committed many crimes on the battlefield in China.

The commander of the Japanese division, Masaaki Honma, was a cautious man, and he reminded the front-line commanders to be extremely cautious and cautious in combat.

The reinforcements of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army rushed to the vicinity of Qilin Peak, and the wing commander of the devil did not rush to attack the position of the Chinese blocking force, but sent a reconnaissance unit to reconnoiter the defenders of the national army at Qilin Peak.

The 34th Infantry Wing, which was newly formed by the 27th Division, was responsible for the reinforcement task, and the Devil Infantry Wing had about 3,200 people, plus the specially attached artillery units and tank units, the total number was about 3,800 people.

The new 34th Wing of the devil, in terms of total weapons and equipment and numbers, can be regarded as a strengthened A Wing establishment, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.

The commander of the Devil Wing, Sukeo Tokugawa, waited quietly in the wing headquarters, waiting for the reconnaissance report of his subordinates.

After about ten minutes, a devil with a disguise on his body hurriedly ran back.

"Report to the Wing Commander, we have carefully reconnoitred the troops of the China Army in front, and the China Army that is blocking us is not an elite German armor division."

"It's not a German mechanic, that's easy to do." The captain of the Devil Wing, Tokugawa Sukeo, nodded, and then he continued, "How many soldiers are there in front of you?" ”

"Report to the wing commander, judging from the defensive positions of the Chinese army, there is probably the strength of one division."

"Yo Xi, just a miscellaneous division of the Chinese army, there is no need to worry about it at all." Sukeo Tokugawa smiled proudly and put on a confident look of the 60th Division.

The 27th Division of the Devil had suffered a big loss at the hands of the German armament army before, so the enemy was a little afraid of the German armament division of the national army.

The weapons and equipment of the German armor division will not be much worse than the little devil, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is stronger than that of some other miscellaneous troops, if the two sides fight, even if the little devil can defeat a German armor division, I am afraid that the enemy's own casualties will be very large.

What's more, Tokugawa Sukeo was already scared by the German armament troops at all, and he had no chance of winning when encountering a division of German armament troops.

As long as it is not a German armor division unit, Tokugawa Sukeo will not pay attention to it.

Immediately, Tokugawa ordered the artillery units to prepare for an attack on the positions defended by the 60 Division.

"Inform the artillery unit to prepare for shelling the positions of the Chinese army, and order the 3rd Infantry Brigade to take up the offensive mission!"

"Hayi, Wing Captain !!"

Several devil messengers and heralds left quickly.

After the Japanese Army's Third Infantry Brigade received the battle order, the Devil Brigade Captain quickly made offensive arrangements.

At the same time, the artillery unit of the devil also set up artillery and aimed at the position of the 60th division of the national army.

Half an hour later, the devil troops were ready to attack!

The devils did not use field artillery and mountain artillery at first, but only some mortars with relatively large calibers.

The reason why the enemy did this was very simple, because the devils did not know the firepower of the opposing national army, and prematurely exposing the artillery positions was not conducive to the attack of the devils.

The devil's attacking force was indeed very cautious, and the devil's captain only sent a squadron to conduct fire reconnaissance and testing.

"Artillery attack !!"

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

"Tom, tom, tom......"

The devil's mortar continued to attack and shell, and the devil's ammunition hand was constantly reloading.

At one time, dozens of mortar shells flew and smashed into the front positions of the 60 Division.

Shells exploded in all directions, explosions came and went, and explosions were full of fire.

As soon as the artillery fire rang out, the captain of the devil brigade pulled out his command knife and shouted: "The infantry will attack forward, and the ducks and chickens will give !! ”

The devil soldiers took up their weapons and quickly rushed towards the positions of the national army under the cover of artillery fire.

"Imperial soldiers rush and occupy the positions in front of !!"

With the help of the surrounding covers, the devil soldiers moved forward in a tactical formation.

The enemy opened fire suddenly, and the firepower was not weak, but the troops of the 60th Division of the National Army in the distance had established various fortifications, and it was not a problem to resist the Japanese mortars.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

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

Shells burst out in all directions.

"Brothers, watch out for artillery fire, hide, hide quickly!!"

"Enter the Hidden !!"

After being attacked by enemy artillery fire, the officers and men of the country on the positions quickly entered various bunkers and fortifications.

The devil's mortars are of limited power, and some strong fortifications simply cannot be destroyed.

The bunker fortifications of the national army are relatively strong, which can greatly reduce the casualties of officers and soldiers.

The devil's shells were very dense, and the suppressed national soldiers could only hide inside the fortifications.

At this time, the devil's infantry took the opportunity to rush up quickly.

In a short time, a squadron of devil infantry charged to the foot of a hill less than 300 meters away from the position of the national army.

The little devil stopped the charge, and if he rushed forward, the little devil might be accidentally injured by his own artillery.

Instead, the Devil's soldiers looked for cover nearby, and the Devil's machine gunners and grenadiers set up fire fortifications.

After the devil's artillery covered the devil's infantry in front and established a good firing point, the devil's artillery fire began to extend to the front of the national army's position.

The shells bombarded forward like ploughs, covering hundreds of meters.

The national army has a certain number of artillery, but they don't have much ammunition, and it is impossible for them to bombard indiscriminately like little devils.

Therefore, the officers and men of the country on the position could only be pressed and beaten by the enemy's artillery fire.

"Brothers, enter the fortifications, and the little devils are rushing up!!"

"Brothers, get ready to fight!!"

The officers and soldiers of the country saw that the devil infantry was pressing up, and they hurriedly got out of the bunkers and fortifications and stumbled into their respective combat positions.
