Chapter 216: Fierce Offensive

"Boom"

The shells landed around the devil's grenadier barrel, knocking out a few of the devil's grenadiers, and the artillery company's re-firing also let the devil know where the artillery company was. With the order of the captain of the devil brigade, there was a squadron of devils attacking in the direction where the artillery company was located.

The devil's artillery was destroyed by the artillery company in advance, so that the devil wanted to deal with the artillery company, so he could only send infantry to come. As for the grenadiers of the devils, they could not reach the position of the artillery company due to insufficient range.

When looking for the position of the artillery company, Liu Gen was well prepared, he had already considered the range of the devil's grenadier, and naturally he would not be stupid enough to set the artillery company's position within the range of the devil's grenadier. Seeing that there was a squadron of devils attacking, Liu Gen didn't care, there were three battalions of soldiers in front of the artillery company, not to mention that Li Yunlong was still in the third battalion.

"Look for their targets, find the devils' heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and grenadiers, and take out their firing points." Liu Gen ordered the soldiers of the artillery company.

Liu Gen personally controlled a mortar, and after the soldiers behind him handed over the shells, Liu Gen destroyed the grenadiers of the two devils again. As the soldiers of the artillery company began to shell the devil's heavy machine guns, light machine guns and other fire points, the devil's fire point suffered, and from time to time a shell would fall, and the devil had no way to escape.

The 60mm mortars that Liu Gen assigned to each battalion also played a role, and each battalion had an extra mortar, even if the performance was a little problematic, but it also made it a lot easier for the soldiers to attack. Unlike the devils, who don't care about shells, the fighters pay more attention to the devils' firepower points when shelling, and strive for each cannon to have a corresponding effect.

Under such an attack, the casualties of the devil's infantry brigade are constantly increasing, even if the captain of the devil's brigade sends a request for help, he also knows that the reinforcements have not arrived in a short period of time. And the powerful firepower of the Independent Regiment also made the Devil Captain realize that the Independent Regiment must be the main force in the Eighth Route Army, otherwise how could it be so strong?

Looking at the shells that kept falling in the air, destroying heavy machine guns, light machine guns and other fire points with great accuracy, the heart of the devil captain couldn't help but sink, how long could he hold on like this?

The captain of the devil group looked at the infantry squadron that he had pinned his hopes on, and he wanted to rely on this infantry squadron to destroy the artillery of the Eighth Route Army and reduce the pressure brought by the Eighth Route Army. But when the captain of the devil brigade looked at the infantry squadron he sent, he could only see that the infantry squadron needed to pay a lot of devil's lives for every step forward, and the firepower of the three battalions was too strong.

"Order the Ohara squadron to withdraw!" Seeing the casualties of the infantry squadron, the captain of the devil brigade could only order like this.

The captain of the devil brigade can see that if he continues to let the Ohara squadron attack, even if he can rush in front of those Dirt Eight Road positions, there will not be too many remaining troops to pose a threat to these Dirt Eight Roads. There was an infantry squadron defending in each of the other two directions, and the pressure on the defense was very high, and the captain of the devil brigade listened to the constant wailing from the camp, and knew that if his brigade persisted, he might really have to stay here.

But before getting the order to retreat from the headquarters, the captain of the devil brigade did not dare to retreat, he didn't want to be regarded as a deserter.

"Hold on! Hold on! Our reinforcements are coming soon! The captain of the devil brigade shouted. At the same time, the devils who reacted also piled up the corpses of some dead devils to form a simple defensive position. If it weren't for the fact that the devils couldn't draw too many troops, then maybe they would have dug trenches directly to defend.

The Devil Infantry Brigade is only temporarily stationed here, who would have thought that there would be Tubalu who would dare to attack the infantry brigade directly? On weekdays, the devil infantry brigade is transferred, and at night they will try to rest in the devil's stronghold, but this time it is the commander of the hesitant devil's North China Front, Tada Jun, who urged too tightly, in order to reinforce the battle on Zhengtai Road, these devils can only set off as quickly as possible, and finally failed to rest in the devil's stronghold.

Looking at the simple defensive position constructed, the captain of the devil brigade breathed a sigh of relief, this time Tubalu couldn't easily attack it, right? Soon, the captain of the devil brigade gave another order, and the devils on the third-line defense were fully contracted, and he found that only by gathering all his forces could he better resist the offensive of these dirt roads.

When the three infantry squadrons withdrew from the front line, the captain of the devil brigade gasped, and within half an hour of the start of the battle, they had a large number of casualties. The Devil Infantry Squadron that defended the attack of the two battalions of Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan in the other two directions was okay, and the combined losses were less than a small team. However, the Ohara squadron, which was sent out by the captain of the devil brigade to attack the direction of the artillery company, suffered heavy losses, and one infantry squadron went out, and only one infantry squad came back.

Moreover, the squadron leader of Ohara's squadron, Ichiro Ohara, also died in the battle.

"Yaga! Yaga! It's my fault, Ohara-kun shouldn't have died here, he still wants to wait until he returns to China to enjoy the cherry blossoms with me! The captain of the devil brigade looked hideous, looking in the direction of the independent regiment, his eyes were full of hatred.

The infantry squadron leaders of the two devils also looked sad, they could imagine that a squadron leader like Ichiro Ohara had died here, and they would most likely die too.

"Today, our Matsui Brigade will not retreat! We are all warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, and the headquarters did not give the order to retreat, so we must stick here! When dawn comes, the air forces of the Empire of Japan will come to their aid! For His Majesty the Emperor! For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire! The Devil Captain shouted loudly.

The infantry squadron leader of the two devils hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Fight to the death! ”

The captain of the devil brigade waved his hand and motioned for the two squadron leaders to go and command the defense, he looked at the approaching Eighth Route Army battle, his face was ugly, with these Tu Eight Route offensives, could their brigade really hold out until dawn?

When the captain of the devil brigade was silent, there were shells falling again, some shells missed, and some shells fell beside the little devils, and the devils who were close were directly killed, and the devils who were farther away were okay to hide behind the bunker, and those who did not have time to dodge were injured by shrapnel from the shells. A shell landed not far from the captain of the devil brigade, and a piece of shrednel flew in, leaving a visible blood mark on his face.

"Yaga!"

The Devil Medic came and wanted to treat the wounds of the Devil Captain, but he refused. Looking at the shells that kept falling, and noticing the somewhat frightened looks on the faces of many devils, the captain of the devil brigade had a bad premonition, could it be that the Matsui brigade really wanted to break all the jade here to repay His Majesty the Emperor?
