Before the infantry could exchange fire, the attacking troops of the mixed brigade that rushed to Nongan Fortress engaged in a skirmish with the troops defending Nongan Fortress. When the infantry brigades and regiments sent more artillery, they finally gained the advantage in artillery fire.

There were forward observation posts to report the movements of the Japanese troops at any time, and the artillery companies shouldering artillery support quickly dispersed before the artillery reinforcements of the mixed brigades arrived. When the Japanese increased their artillery fire again, the artillery company immediately dispersed and withdrew from the battle.

The Little Devil Infantry Brigade, which had been suppressed for a while, was also extremely excited to see that its side had once again gained an advantage in artillery fire. But these little devils didn't know that after some tossing, the second battalion had already taken on more than half of the defensive time.

The officers and soldiers of the security regiment hiding in the anti-artillery tunnel soon heard the guard sentry at the entrance of the cave say: "All ready!" The little devil is coming soon! When the little devil's artillery fire begins to extend, everyone immediately enters the combat position! ”

"Did you hear it all?"

"Clear!"

"Don't be afraid, the little devil is also a shoulder with a head. As long as we repel one or two attacks from the imps, we will be able to retreat to the next defensive position. There, there is also our main force, don't be afraid of the little devils making us dumplings! ”

"Yes, sir!"

It is clear that the vast majority of the officers and men of the security regiment have no actual combat training. Once on the battlefield, it is difficult for them to accurately aim at the attacking little devils. Fortunately, on the position, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the security regiment, there are also combat members of the task force.

Secondly, several strong machine-gun forts built on defensive positions were carried out by the machine gunners of the task force. With these machine gunners here, unless the little devils can destroy these machine gun fortresses, they will have to pay a heavy price if they want to attack the defenders' positions.

Formulating a combat plan to block the attack, in addition to delaying the attack speed of the little devil, also hopes to weaken the strength of the little devil more. It seems that a mixed brigade has a lot of troops, but after a few more rounds, the casualties of the little devils are definitely not small!

"Attack! Remember the position you just lay down, and quickly counterattack after you go out, and you must not let the little devil rush to the position! ”

The guard sentry in charge of the observation soon heard the whistle blowing from the observation post and immediately urged the officers and men hiding in the anti-artillery tunnels to rush out and enter the position. When they returned to their positions, many officers and soldiers saw the little devils who bent down and rushed towards the position.

"Bullets loaded! Aim, listen to my commands, and shoot! Remember, hit where there are a lot of imps! Don't panic, hold steady! ”

The officers lying next to the soldiers shouted some instructions and reassuring words from time to time, so that these soldiers who had not fought in actual combat could calm down as much as possible. Even if they knew that it would be difficult, as long as they didn't run, the officers would feel very relieved.

When the little devil entered the firing range of 100 meters, the officer on the position immediately said: "Fight!" ”

As soon as the shooting rang out, the officers and men of the security regiment in charge of defense on the position also quickly opened fire. Bang bang gunshots rang out, and the little devils who attacked with the cat's waist also fell one after another. Many little devils directly lay down and began to fight back on the spot.

At the same time, the machine gunners, who were located in the machine gun fortresses, also began to pull the trigger of the machine gun. The bullets fired quickly reaped the lives of the little devils who rushed to the position. Seeing these machine-gun fortresses, the little devil officer was also annoyed.

Ordered: "Grenadier, blow up that damn machine gun for me!" ”

When the little devil grenadiers quickly set up grenadiers and began to strike at the machine gun fortress, they reluctantly found that the machine gun fortress that had exploded was still standing firmly on the position, and the machine guns in the fortress were still spitting out bullets.

Seeing this scene, the little devil officer in charge of the command couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Baga! It turned out to be a machine gun fortress! Quickly, immediately report to the captain of the group and ask the artillery for tactical guidance. Those machine-gun positions, they must be destroyed! ”

"Hey!"

The little devil who was ordered quickly turned around and ran down the position and began to report the situation on the position. Knowing that there were a number of fortified machine-gun forts built on the defensive positions, the Japanese captain also knew that these machine-gun forts were extremely threatening.

He personally rushed to the artillery positions and asked the mountain artillery squadrons involved in the artillery battle to strike at those machine-gun fortresses at fixed points. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who were in charge of defense gradually became stable after some adaptation.

Because they saw that the attacking little devils were suppressed at the front of the position and could not continue to advance. The little devils can't come up, so they naturally don't need to worry. In addition, seeing that little devils are constantly being killed, they are also more and more confident in fighting.

For these officers and soldiers of the security regiment, who are second-line troops, many times it is not that they are not heroic in battle, but that too many soldiers have not experienced actual combat. Faced with the scene of people falling around them, many young soldiers will be scared from the bottom of their hearts.

As long as they are given a little time to adapt, they can also grow up in this experience of blood and fire. This is also the reason why, knowing that there would be sacrifices in the exchange of fire between the security regiment and the Japanese army, Hu Biao still chose to send them.

How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?

As a member of the Anti-Japanese War Army, even if they are officers and soldiers of the Security Corps, how can they grow up if they don't experience actual combat and don't personally feel the taste of fighting with little devils? What if you have the task of defending the city and protecting your home?

When you go to the battlefield, you must be prepared to be sacrificed at any time. This result is known not only to the officers and men of the security regiment who are responsible for guarding Long'an City, but also to the officers and men of the task force who cooperate with the defensive operation.

Even in the eyes of many, the members of the task force are elite. But on the battlefield, once a fighter is hit by a bullet or a cannonball, he will also fall and die. Knowing that these things will happen, don't you have to fight?

Once a general becomes famous, the growth path of any combat commander is paved with the blood of countless soldiers. The key is to see, is it worth the sacrifice of these soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the general?

From the day the first unit was formed, Hu Biao stressed with the operational commanders under his command that the casualties of the troops should be reduced as much as possible in each battle. But when you really go to the battlefield, some sacrifices are inevitable after all, and no matter how distressed and sad you are, you must accept the reality.

As the Japanese began to shell the machine-gun fortresses on the positions at fixed points, the suppressed little devil infantry began to attack rhythmically again. In this case, the combat team members lying on the position also kept shooting machine gunners and grenadiers of the little devils.

Together with the little devil officers and military officers who fought with them, they also became the focus of the combat team members. After some fighting, little devils continued to fall on the offensive position, and officers and soldiers on the defensive position were shot and killed by little devils from time to time.

This kind of hand-to-hand combat is always so bloody and cruel. Sometimes it may be the will and courage of the officers and soldiers on both sides that fight. Whoever is afraid in advance, then the victorious peace will fall to the fearless side.

The captain of the Japanese infantry brigade, who was staying in the rear to watch the battle, looked at his subordinates who were constantly falling, and said with some confusion: "Baga! Is this really a local security corps? Damn, why are these Chinese armies so tenacious? ”

In the eyes of the infantry captain, second-line troops like the security regiment, once they fight them, are often defeated with one blow. It's really the first time he's encountered a bloody battle like today, so he feels confused.

"Your Excellency, Captain, if you want to take the defensive positions of the Chinese army, you must exert more pressure. Otherwise, the battle will continue to be stalemate. If it continues to delay, I am afraid that the general will be dissatisfied! ”

"Yaga! Pass my order, the reserve team will attack as a whole, and it must be in the shortest possible time to take the front position for me! ”

"Hey!"

The little devil officer who acted as a reserve, after receiving this order, also quickly took action. At this time, the sentry who was in charge of observing the position also quickly saw the scene of the little devil continuing to increase his troops, and immediately informed the second battalion commander and the commander of the task force.

Raising his hand to look at the time, the task force company commander immediately said: "Battalion Commander Xu, you lead the people to withdraw first, and my people are in charge of the palace." I'll get the artillery company to buy you time to retreat. As soon as the shelling begins, you will withdraw. ”

"No! This is the position of our second battalion, and if we want to withdraw, you must withdraw first! ”

"Execute the order! Before I came, the commander had an explanation, and the command of the battlefield was based on my opinion! Don't worry, I asked you to withdraw in advance, also to lay some traps on the position and delay the speed of the little devil's pursuit. It's going to be fine! ”

After fighting side by side, the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion of the Security Regiment also had a deeper affection for the task force company sent to assist in the operation. Everyone knows how dangerous the troops in charge of the palace are. The commander of the task force asked the second battalion to withdraw first, undoubtedly giving the second battalion more chances of survival.

But the commander of the second battalion knew very well that if he wanted to hold Nong'an City in the future, he would have to rely more on the officers and soldiers of the task force. Many of the officers and soldiers of the security regiment are locals, and they also know very well what will happen to their relatives once Nong'an City is lost!

Just as the little devil infantry brigade in charge of the attack was pressed by heavy troops, the artillery company, which had been dispersed earlier, received an order for artillery support. The scattered mortar squads also began to smash shells into the attacking team of the little devils.

Seeing this scene, the captain of the infantry brigade said with some anger: "Baga! What's going on? Didn't the artillery of the Chinese army be destroyed by us? Damn, let the artillery squadron quickly counterattack and quickly blow up the artillery of the defenders! ”

When the little devil artillery began to adjust the shelling parameters, they saw that the little devil infantry, who was in charge of the attack, was suppressed on the offensive position and did not dare to move. Knowing that the opportunity to retreat had arrived, the second battalion commander immediately said: "Take the company as a unit, take the injured brothers and withdraw quickly!" ”

Wait until the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion give up their defensive positions, leaving the combat team members behind the palace, and quickly set up mines and explosive traps in the trenches of the position. When the little devils began to counterattack, the combat team members on the position also began to slowly retreat.

The machine gun forts and fortifications built earlier also planted a lot of explosives in advance, plugged in detonators and connected wires, just to be detonated, and these fortifications will be completely scrapped. The purpose of this is very simple, that is, not to let the little devils pick up the leaks.

The officers and men of the task force who cooperated with the operation knew that when night fell, it would be the moment when they began to encircle and counterattack. If you don't destroy these fortifications and trenches, the little devils will be able to deploy them on the spot and use them to defend and counterattack!
