On the high ground two kilometers north of Lijiazhuang, the command post of the third battalion of the garrison regiment was built here.

In fact, this is a gentle slope with an altitude of more than 30 meters, and the road passes through the top of the slope, which is not a high ground at all.

The offensive of the houses that the troops had worked hard to build for more than a month was just north of the high ground, and with the forward fortifications, it stretched for more than three kilometers.

Huang Sheng stood on the high ground, condescending, and could see every part of the position.

Not long after dawn, the sun came out.

There were no clouds overhead, and there was no wind, and although it was almost October, the weather was as hot and dry as ever.

There is no doubt that today is another good day.

But Huang Sheng was not happy at all, the good weather meant that the little devil plane could take off and land unscrupulously, arrogant above everyone's heads.

The garrison regiment had an air defense battalion, which was unique among all regimental-level units of the Eighth Route Army.

But the number is too small, and the anti-aircraft machine guns can only be used intensively to bring out their full power.

It has been a long time since the air defense battalion shot down a few devil planes last time.

It's like a pack of hungry wolves, quietly lurking in a certain location, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

In the words of the regiment commander, the air defense battalion belongs to the deterrent force, and it is a blockbuster! ”

To participate in a battle, it is necessary to have a result, to frighten the enemy in a battle, to defeat their arrogance, and absolutely not to use a limited number of antiaircraft machine guns to fight with the enemy.

In this way, the significance of anti-aircraft machine guns to the Eighth Route Army will be greatly reduced.

Losing the threat of the air defense battalion, the devil planes regained their previous arrogance, and the reconnaissance altitude became lower and lower day by day, and they were eager to fly close to the ground to get a full view of the situation of the three battalions.

"Weng Hum ......"

Huang Sheng's judgment was not wrong at all, and after waiting for less than half an hour, there was a roar overhead.

"That's not right!" Huang Sheng frowned and shouted.

"The reconnaissance plane that came over before was not so loud?"

The observation post suddenly broke in and reported: "Battalion commander, there are three little devil planes flying in the sky, and they should be bombers in size." ”

"It's not good, we must have a situation here today, it's hard to know that the Japanese puppet army on the other side plans to attack us today!" Huang Sheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he judged with a serious face.

The phone at the "Jingle Bell ......" command post rang.

The deputy battalion commander was standing by the side, and he reacted quickly, and grabbed the microphone as soon as he rang three times.

After listening to it for less than half a minute, his face changed.

Covering the microphone with his left hand, he looked at Huang Sheng with a serious face.

"Battalion commander, the forward position observation post reports that the Japanese are coming towards us."

"The main force of the Japanese army, the local garrison force, and the Imperial Allied Army, together with more than 6,000 people, came over in a mighty way, and the forward was exactly an infantry brigade. In addition to twelve heavy artillery, the follow-up main force also brought nearly twenty mountain artillery, field artillery, infantry artillery, more than 100 carts pulling heavy ammunition, and ten tanks in the middle of the team! ”

"After waiting for so long, it's finally here."

Huang Sheng's face quickly became serious, and he decisively ordered: "Let the forward observation post retreat immediately." ”

"The forward position is too simple, and hitting the devil's army is like an egg hitting a stone, and you will definitely die."

"Order, one company, artillery company, to enter the No. 1 blocking position at once."

"The second company entered the second position, and the third company entered the third position, all on standby, ready to participate in the battle at any time."

"The guerrillas and district squads that cooperate with our actions will immediately organize the transfer of villagers around the battlefield, and the faster the better."

"The county brigade, the recruit company, as a battlefield reserve, first transports ammunition and wounded to the main force, and the main force can't hold them before going to the battlefield."

"Instructor, you stay at the command post and coordinate all the troops on the battlefield in a unified ......"

"At the same time, report to the regimental headquarters that we have been attacked."

After speaking, Huang Sheng walked outside the command headquarters, and ordered as he went: "The guard company stays in a platoon to protect the command post." The others followed me and went straight to Line 2, which was closest to the front-line battlefield. ”

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

Before Huang Sheng could reach the battlefield, the sound of explosions came from the forward position.

"Binoculars!"

Huang Sheng took the binoculars handed over by the guards and carefully poked his head out of the trench.

The front position had been bombed into the sky, and black smoke was constantly rising from the ground, and dirt and bricks flew into the sky along with the sound of explosions.

Huang Sheng's face became more and more serious.

"The little devil's attack is fiercer than I thought."

"The forward positions are so attached to it, and when they come up, they concentrate nearly ten mortars for firepower. After the real offensive begins, the mountain artillery will definitely be on board. ”

"Contact the commander of a company immediately, except for the observation post, everyone else will go into the defensive artillery hole."

"The little devils who attacked us were more cautious than before, and they did not carry out a tentative attack at all, and they bombarded it when they came up."

"We must also be cautious about the enemy, otherwise we will definitely suffer a big loss."

When Huang Sheng hurried to the No. 2 position, the Japanese forward troops had already occupied the forward position.

"The devils are starting to set up their guns!" Huang Sheng reminded.

One kilometer behind the forward troops, more than 100 devils pushed six mountain guns and four infantry guns off the road and set up their guns on a flat ground next to them.

Dozens of baggage troops transported shells back and forth between artillery positions and roads.

In about five minutes, a ten-gun artillery position was arranged.

A large group of Japanese troops in the forward were also ready to attack.

An infantry squadron was deployed in a skirmish line at a distance of five hundred meters from Line 1.

The rifle is a good bayonet, and the flat end is in the hand.

The light machine gun was used as a submachine gun and was held in the arms of the machine gunner.

The co-shooter carried the rifle on his shoulder and carried a cartridge box in his hand to replenish the machine gun at any time.

Dozens of devil heavy machine gunners were not idle, and in groups of four they carried heavy machine guns, and ammunition men carried ammunition boxes, mixed in the middle of the attacking troops, ready to provide fire cover for the attacking troops after attacking to a suitable position with the team.

The mortar squadron mounted the mortar guns behind the attacking troops, and the eight guns were all raised with the black holes of the guns, pointing directly at the No. 1 position.

There were two gunners half-crouched next to each mortar, and the ammunition man crouched behind with two boxes of shells beside him.

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

The sound of artillery soon reached Huang Sheng's ears, which came from the Japanese mountain artillery position.

Clouds of white smoke erupted from the muzzle of the cannon and quickly filled the entire position.

"Woo woo woo ......"

It took a few seconds for the screaming of cannonballs across the sky to reach Huang Sheng's ears.

"Boom ......"

The shell smashed into position No. 1 and exploded.

Because he was too close to the battlefield, the moment the black smoke and fireballs rose from the ground, the sound of explosions reached Huang Sheng's ears together.

The dirt and gravel were blown away by the cannonballs, and the goddess scattered flowers and flew around.
