Although the expeditionary force was redressed in Yunnan Province, the weapons and equipment were much better than before. But in the face of the heavy attack of the Japanese army, the expeditionary army did not have many advantages. In particular, it loses air supremacy, and is extremely passive every time it encounters.

As Dai Yu expected, the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, which had arrived in a hurry and was not in a hurry to attack, launched a strong and fierce attack on Tonggucheng in the morning. The artillery wings attached to the divisions and regiments constantly poured artillery fire on the defenders' positions.

In view of the ferocity of the Japanese artillery fire, Dai finally ordered the artillery unit to launch a counterattack. Seeing the defenders using artillery units, the Japanese immediately called for air support. After a bombardment, the artillery under Dai Eucalyptus suffered heavy losses.

It's just that for the Japanese troops on the attacking side, the difficulty of the defenders is beyond imagination. The most shocking and unexpected thing for the commander of the Japanese division was that after the defenders lost their artillery assistance, they still severely damaged his tank troops, paralyzing countless tanks on the defensive positions.

Seeing this scene, the commander of the Japanese division said extremely angrily: "Send a report to the special high school and order it to quickly carry out an investigation, I want to know what the chariot weapons in the hands of the Chinese army are!" Damn, this weapon is too destructive! ”

For the Japanese army at this time, every general knew extremely well that their war resources were very limited. The chariots assigned to the divisions and regiments are basically one less than one bomb, and it will become extremely difficult to replenish them.

How many lives will it take to lose the most powerful assault weapon and rely only on infantry charging into battle? After a fierce battle in the morning, the Japanese lost more than one infantry wing, which made the Japanese division commander extremely angry.

In contrast, Dai Eucalyptus, who was on the defensive side, was also not happy, and most of the main regiments under his command also suffered a lot of losses. The reserves reserved by the division headquarters were all replenished at this moment, which was able to block the Japanese army's attacks one after another.

In view of this situation, Captain Sun, who had been staying in the command headquarters, also took the initiative to say: "General Dai, hand over the No. 3 position to the troops I brought for defense!" After watching it for a long time, these brothers under me are itching! ”

"It's not good! Position No. 3 is the defense area where the Japanese army will focus on breaking through, why don't you change positions? ”

"Nope! Just number three! For us, it's a tough battle! Don't worry, these brothers I brought with me are not only building fortifications, but they are actually very powerful! Hold on until dark, and we'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"Good! The third position, please leave it to you! ”

"Don't worry! Later, we'll give the little devil an unexpected surprise! ”

After getting Dai Eucalyptus's consent, he came to a camp in the city, and Captain Sun also said directly: "Captain Lin, change your clothes!" I had already asked the wolf head that your regiment could participate in the battle. However, try to minimize casualties! ”

"Yes, thank you, Counselor Sun! We are three regiments, guaranteed to complete the task! ”

As far as the officers and men of the 1st Engineer Brigade are concerned, the construction of roads, bridges, houses, and fortifications is their specialty. However, since its formation, the engineer brigade has never slackened its military training, and its combat effectiveness is also extremely strong.

In Hu Biao's words, they are the main force when they put down their guns, and they are strong engineering troops when they put down their guns!

As the 3rd Engineer Regiment quickly changed into military uniforms and began to receive weapons one after another, Captain Sun also smiled and said: "The affairs on the position will be fully entrusted to you." My supervision team will also go over to help defend. Plus, I've got some killer features hidden! ”

"Those heavy guns?"

"That's right! Judging from the range, those heavy guns should be able to hit the artillery positions of the little devils. After a morning of fierce fighting, the little devils should feel that we have no artillery units in our hands to threaten them.

Next, I will personally command the artillery detachment and have a good artillery battle with the little devils, so that they can feel the taste of being destroyed by heavy artillery. There are artillery positions built by you, and the little devil fighters have nothing to do with us! ”

"Hey, hey! That's nature! Those artillery positions are all cast with reinforced concrete! ”

After a brief discussion, the 3rd Engineer Regiment quickly entered the No. 3 defensive position. Looking at these orderly combat troops, the officers and soldiers responsible for defending the No. 3 position were also surprised: "Tuanzao, is this the reinforcement sent by the division headquarters?" ”

"! This is the man who dug for us before! ”

"Ahh How is this possible? Their tactical moves, at a glance, you know that they are elite veterans! ”

"You ask me, I ask who to go! Hurry down and rest, and then there will be a battle! ”

"Yes, Tuanza!"

After the rapid completion of the change of defense, the 3rd Engineer Regiment also seized the time to repair the fortifications that had been destroyed. After the Japanese had lunch, a new round of attacks began. Countless shells, again poured onto the defensive positions of the defenders.

"Grandma, there are a lot of cannonballs for little devils! After playing all morning, I didn't even know how to stop! ”

"It's okay! Let them blow up! When they're done blowing, it's our turn to engage them in close combat! ”

"Hmmm! This opportunity is rare, try to eliminate a few more little devils. Perhaps, our regiment will also have the opportunity to become a combat unit. When the time comes, we will be able to deal with weapons every day, just like other combat units! ”

The officers and men of the 3rd Engineer Regiment, who were hiding in the anti-artillery holes, were not afraid of shells hitting the positions. As far as they are concerned, the anti-artillery holes they have built are very strong, and there is no danger at all to hide in them, so they are naturally very relieved.

At this time, located on several nameless hills in Tonggu City, looking at the heavy artillery that was pushed out of the cave, Captain Sun said through the walkie-talkie: "Quickly locate the gun position, start to lock the Japanese artillery position, and then report to me!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

These are excavated in the potholes of the hill and have sliding rails installed underground. The heavy artillery intercepted from the colonial army was all carried in by Captain Sun. With the help of slides, it was possible to quickly transfer the artillery into the inside of the pit.

In this way, even if the little devil calls for air support, he will not be able to detect the existence of these heavy artillery pieces at all. As soon as the little devil fighter left, the heavy artillery could be pushed out again and continue to shell the little devil outside the city.

The mobile heavy artillery is also Hu Biao's originality, and it refers to the national defense system of Ruishi. During World War II, Ruishi built many heavy guns near residential buildings. Through the slide method, you can quickly activate and hide these heavy guns.

Even in the event of an air attack, the artillery positions only need to be cleared, and the heavy artillery can still be used normally. This is undoubtedly extremely tragic for the attacking side. Unless they have the ability to attack directly to the location of the hidden heavy artillery.

When the artillery positions still reported and prepared for the shelling, Captain Sun immediately said: "One test shot, release!" ”

There was a loud bang, and there was a loud bang on the hill where all the heavy artillery was located. Heavy artillery flew over the defensive positions of the defenders and headed straight for the Japanese artillery positions outside the city. When they hit the ground, they burst out.

The Japanese artillerymen who were attacked by the surprise said with a shocked face: "Yaga! It's heavy artillery! Damn, the defenders still have heavy artillery! ”

After the report of the forward scouts, it was confirmed that the position of the first round of shelling was not too far off, and Captain Sun continued: "Five rapid fires! Put! ”

Listening to the sound of heavy artillery coming from the city, Dai Yu was also shocked and said: "Good girl, Captain Sun, these people are really hidden!" I really didn't expect that they still had heavy artillery in their hands. In this way, it is estimated that the little devil will call for air support again! ”

As Dai Yu expected, knowing that the defenders still had heavy artillery in their hands, the commander of the Japanese division naturally felt extremely demoralized, and called the air force in the rear again to strike. When the little devil's fighter plane flew over Tonggu City, it did not find a heavy artillery position.

In desperation, the Japanese bombers could only drop the bombs they carried to the position where the heavy artillery might be. When the Japanese fighters left, the heavy artillery detachment pushed the heavy artillery out of the hole and continued to attack the Japanese troops outside the city.

I thought that the Air Force had destroyed the heavy artillery, but I didn't expect that the heavy artillery was still there. Upon learning of this situation, the commander of the Japanese division was also very helpless, so he could only ask the air force to send fighter planes to fly in circles over Tonggu City.

Seeing this scene, Captain Sun also said helplessly: "Damn, isn't this a scoundrel?" Fortunately, there is not much left until evening. Just let the little devils be proud for a while, and when these fighters leave, it will be their end! ”

Fortunately, after the two shells, the shells that Captain Sun and his subordinates were actually about the same. In view of this situation, mobile heavy artillery can only be temporarily discontinued. But for the Japanese army at this moment, they didn't bargain too much.

With fighter air escort, the heavy artillery in the city really didn't move. The problem was that the artillery units of the Japanese army suffered equally heavy losses in previous heavy artillery strikes. Without artillery fire support, the Japanese offensive became more difficult.

The most uncomfortable thing for the Japanese army was the escort fighters, who originally wanted to help the attacking troops on the ground. No one expected that the defenders on the ground also had anti-aircraft machine guns in their hands, and even shot down a fighter plane that shot at a dive.

Hearing the news, the commander of the Japanese division was also extremely helpless and said: "Eight Geya Road!" These damn Chinese army, when did they have such good equipment? After nearly a day of fierce fighting, we failed to break through even a defensive position! ”

Such a record undoubtedly seemed a bit of a shame to the commander of the Japanese division. But the division commander knew in his heart that the troops were also very brave and tenacious when attacking. But the tenacity shown by the defenders was also unexpected by the Japanese army.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what now? Although we still have a lot of shells, the number of artillery is not much! ”

"The attack continues! I know you're all tired, but the Chrysanthemum Army is more tired than we are. Concentrate all your artillery and focus on attacking the defenders' flank positions. Bring another wing up and be sure to tear through the defenders' lines! ”

"Hey!"

I knew that the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Japanese army. According to the information provided by the special high school, in addition to the main division stationed in Tonggu City in front of him, there are at least two divisions of troops behind him, which are speeding towards Tonggu City.

If the occupation of Tonggucheng cannot be completed as soon as possible, it will be more difficult for the Japanese army to continue to advance. For this reason, the commander of the front army, who was responsible for attacking the colonies, also sent a telegram from time to time urging the 55th Division to speed up the attack!
