Anger is anger, and the lives of thousands of subordinates on the front line should be saved.

Moreover, the fighters are fleeting, and if they break through one minute late, many more reinforcements will die.

The army commander forcibly suppressed the surging fire in his stomach, and ordered very aggrievedly: "Call back the reinforcements now: dividing the troops to break through is the only way for them to reduce casualties and preserve their strength." ”

"The troops carried out immediately, and the troops who successfully broke through quickly rushed to Wushanwa, converged with the sweeping troops on the east road, repelled the Eighth Route Army besieging them, and then marched to evacuate the garrison regiment base area, the sooner the better."

On the battlefield of Wushan, more than 3,000 puppet troops were divided into two, with the highlands as the center, relying on the mountain to build ring fortifications.

The trenches in many places have been connected, especially the one closest to the top of the hill, which has almost been repaired.

The Japanese puppet army is concentrating on digging a second trench a little farther away, so that it can increase the depth of defense and better protect itself.

The garrison regiment, the independent regiment, and nearly 3,000 attacking troops surrounded the two heights tightly.

Light and heavy machine guns were set up one after the other, on the way where the Japanese puppet army might break through.

The mortars were also moved from the forest to the foot of the mountain, and five or six artillery guns were positioned, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed directly at the top of the mountain.

The former enemy headquarters was moved by Li Hao to a position less than a kilometer away from the battlefield, and the flares were lifted into the air one after another, illuminating the battlefield clearly.

Li Hao stood at the observation port, and he could take in the battlefield at a glance.

Since the Japanese puppet army began to trap the mountain, the two regiments have not really attacked, and have been putting pressure on them through feints, forcing them to the top of the mountain, so that they can concentrate more.

Everyone is waiting.

If the general attack here is advanced, the reinforcements are likely to be scared away, and their own arrangements in Pingshui Town will be in vain.

"Report to the regiment commander, chief of staff, and regiment commander Zhou: Battalion Commander Zhang of the Guangling Independent Battalion has sent a telegram." Zhou Liang suddenly ran to everyone's backs and reported excitedly.

"The raid on Pingshui Town has begun, the attack is very smooth, the Japanese puppet army has suffered heavy casualties, and they are ready to launch a final attack on the Japanese puppet army."

"This telegram couldn't have come at a better time." Li Hao shouted loudly.

Hong Linfeng asked with a happy face: "Commander, can we start fighting here?" ”

Head Zhou was also full of smiles on his face, and looked at Li Hao with a look of eagerness.

"That's it!" Li Hao replied very quickly.

"If you don't attack again, the second ring fortification of the Japanese puppet army will be repaired, and if you attack again, the offensive pressure will definitely be much greater."

"Order all attacking troops: start the offensive in five minutes."

"First give the Japanese puppet army three minutes of artillery preparation, and then the infantry assault, forcing them to abandon the second line of defense that has not yet been repaired, and concentrate their forces to defend the first line of defense."

On the No. 1 high ground, the wing commander half-squatted in the trench, looking at the second trench that was forming little by little fifty meters away, very anxious.

As a battle-hardened commander, he knew very well that the Eighth Route Army would not give himself much time to prepare.

The reason why there was time to repair the first ring fortifications.

It is likely that because his decision to hold on to the order to wait here was too sudden, the Eighth Route Army did not prepare in advance.

From such a large battlefield, troops were transferred to the foot of the mountain, weapons were transferred, and they were ready to attack...... It all takes time.

This time happened to be grasped by myself.

But the Eighth Route Army is not a fool, it must see this, and then try its best to speed up the deployment of troops and not give itself too much time to defend.

Now the second trench is only half built, and many places have not yet been connected, and they are all one by one.

If they are attacked, the troops guarding it will have to fight on their own, and they will not be able to support each other.

As soon as a place is breached, the entire line of defense will be occupied.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and urged again.

"The troops in the front fortifications should speed up, and if there are not enough people, then transfer an Imperial Alliance Army company from the rear, connect all the trenches first, and then deepen and widen!"

With that, he focused his gaze on the foot of the mountain.

The anxious expression on his face was instantly replaced by solemnity.

The Eighth Route Army was equipped with too many light and heavy machine guns, one next to the other.

If these machine guns were fired at the same time, the bullets flying to the high ground would definitely be overwhelming.

Without the protection of the trenches, as many people would have been killed.

Looking at the mortar behind the machine gun again, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

Within his field of vision, he saw at least two dozen mortars from four artillery positions, and there were definitely more that he didn't see.

Although its destructive power is not as good as that of mountain artillery, it is very lethal to soldiers.

If there is no cover protection, soldiers within five meters of the impact point must be either dead or wounded, there is no doubt.

Whether it is against heavy machine guns or mortars, it is required that the troops must have trenches as cover, otherwise they will definitely lose this battle.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain has moved......," a staff officer next to him suddenly shouted.

As soon as the wing commander furrowed his eyebrows, he saw hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops crossing the heavy machine gun position with their guns in their hands, and the light machine guns between the heavy machine guns were also held in the arms of the machine gunners, approaching the high ground with the infantry.

"It's not good, the Eighth Route Army is going to attack!" The Wing Captain shouted.

It was the last thing he wanted to face.

The trenches had not yet been repaired, and the Eighth Route Army launched an attack at this time, and the probability of the troops holding their positions was too low, and the casualties were very large.

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

There was a burst of artillery sound from the artillery position at the foot of the mountain, and after two seconds, a ball of fireball rose from the position.

In the flying firelight, many soldiers were blown away because the trenches were too shallow.

The subordinates who were not hit by the shells quickly crouched down and shrunk their bodies into the trenches as much as possible to avoid the fragments of the shells flying overhead.

But the trench was too shallow, and the shells flying over were dense, and many shells smashed directly into the trench and exploded.

Soldiers were constantly being blown out of the trenches, or blown over, and there was no movement.

At the same time as the shelling, hundreds of Eighth Route Army did not stop and continued to approach the high ground.

There were only a few mortars on the heights, which could not threaten the artillery positions at the foot of the hill.

The artillery units of the garrison regiment were fearless, and they were arranged particularly far ahead, and the firing distance was only five or six hundred meters.

This means that they can shoot the shells more accurately, ensuring that the impact point error does not exceed 10 meters.

Even if the attacking troops approached fifty meters away from the battlefield, they would not be injured by mistake.

The attacking troops were well aware of this and kept moving forward to shorten the offensive distance.

For the co-captain on the high ground, this style of play was not intended to be fatal.

The shorter the offensive distance, the higher the probability that the Eighth Route Army would capture the position, at this time it is well-known military common sense.

But in the face of the hundreds of Eighth Route Army that were constantly approaching the position, he had no choice.

At this time, he experienced for the first time the despair and helplessness of being beaten without artillery superiority and firepower superiority.
