Although they were ambushed by the new regiment and a battalion, Akasaka Saizumi's troops were taken by surprise, but they still reacted quickly and began to defend and counterattack.

Although he attacked a beautiful ambush under Akasaka Saizumi and inflicted heavy casualties, it was impossible to annihilate them completely.

As Akasaka Zuizumi's division launched a defensive counterattack, the battle suddenly fell into a stalemate again.

If he could, of course Hu Yunfei wanted to annihilate all these little devils, and it was acceptable to take a step back and block them halfway, because their main purpose was to protect the artillery company.

It's just that Akasaka Sazumi is in a hurry, and being blocked here by a new regiment and a battalion means the failure of the mission.

However, it was almost impossible to break through the defenses of the new regiment and battalion and rush to the enemy's artillery positions; Not only that, but if the battle continues, it is not certain whether they can defeat the new regiment and battalion, and it is more likely that they will be completely annihilated by it.

"Yours, go back and ask for backup!"

After analyzing the battle situation clearly, Akasaka Saizumi immediately made the decision to request support.

"Hay!"

The little devil lieutenant nodded respectfully in response, then turned and walked briskly towards the brigade headquarters.

"What a bunch of useless garbage!"

After receiving Akasaka Saquan's request for help, the head of the Little Devil Brigade, Guanyu, was angry, but he quickly made the decision to send troops to support.

There was no way, the threat of the new artillery company to their rear was too great, and even he, the temporary command headquarters of the battlefield, was facing the possibility of being bombed at any time, so in order to prevent future troubles and reduce pressure, he could only send troops to support.

Under his orders, the artillery brigade, which had previously blocked the first battalion of the new regiment, was again transferred to support the headquarters of Akasaka Saizumizumi.

The artillery position was not far from the place of the battle, and it took less than ten minutes to arrive at the place of attack at full speed.

These little devil artillerymen are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they almost need to deliberately command and command, and they directly join the battle as soon as they arrive at the place of battle.

It was more than enough for the new regiment and one battalion to block Akasaka Zuizumi's headquarters, and they could even be pressed to fight, but with the addition of the little devil artillery brigade, their pressure also increased sharply.

Faintly, Hu Yunfei realized that it was not a way to go on like this, and it would not be long before their defenses would crumble under the strong attack of the little devils.

Retreat seemed to be their only retreat.

But can you go back?

The answer is no, because their rear is an artillery position, so if they withdraw, the artillery position will be completely exposed to the impact of the little devils.

At that time, the artillery positions will be completely destroyed by the little devils.

But if you don't retreat, you will face the consequences of the annihilation of the entire army.

Is there any other way to do it?

Hu Yunfei's head was running rapidly, and after a while, his frowning brows finally slowly relaxed, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Horse hi!"

"In!"

"Hurry to the artillery position and ask for fire support from the artillery battery!"

"Yes!"

Ma Xi replied loudly, then turned around and quickly ran to find the location of the artillery company.

"Who's up ahead?"

Although there was a battalion in front to cover, Sun Li still set up a defensive post in front, the purpose of which was that when facing the surprise attack of the little devils, the artillery company could have enough time to respond.

"I'm a company commander Ma Xi!"

Ma Xi hurriedly paused and reported his name.

"It turned out to be the commander of the horse company."

As soon as they heard that the other party was their own, the soldiers of the two artillery companies hurriedly put down their affairs and hurried to meet them.

"Hurry up and take me to see your company commander Sun!"

"Yes!"

The two didn't ask much, and they didn't dare to delay, and soon led the way in front.

In a short time, the three of them rushed to the artillery position.

"Company Commander Ma?"

"Company Commander Sun, our battalion was attacked by a large Japanese army at the front, and it will soon be impossible to hold on, please hurry up and turn the muzzle fire support!"

Ma Xi said straight to the point.

"Don't worry, tell me about the situation."

"Here's the situation......"

Ma Xi quickly introduced the ins and outs of the whole matter to Sun Li.

After listening to Ma Xi's speech, Sun Li immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and his face immediately became gloomy.

The reason why he dared to set up an artillery position here with confidence and bombard the little devils unscrupulously was out of trust in Hu Yunfei and Ma Pole and others; He knew that if the little devils tried to rush over and raid their artillery positions, the first battalion and the reconnaissance company would definitely not stand idly by.

The situation was indeed as he expected, the little devils did send troops to raid their artillery positions, but they were intercepted by a battalion.

But the situation was also somewhat unexpected to him, and the troops sent by the little devils were somewhat beyond their expectations.

"Turn the muzzle and fire support a battalion!"

After thinking about it, Sun Li immediately made a decision and gave the order to turn the muzzle.

There is no way, turning the muzzle is also dealing with the little devils, in addition, if you don't turn the muzzle fire to support the first battalion, once the firing line formed by the first battalion is broken, then the next one to perish is their artillery position.

Therefore, turning the artillery became his only option.

Under the order of the company commander Sun Li, the artillery officers and men of the platoon quickly turned the muzzle.

And because of the specific coordinates provided by Ma Xi, the aiming of the artillery company was much easier.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom—"

Soon, shells from light infantry guns and mortars fell on the positions of the little devils.

Although the power of these shells is far less than that of the heavy field mountain artillery, it can be defeated in large quantities; Almost just one round of bombing, there were huge casualties on the side of the little devils.

The little devils are undoubtedly in great pain now, as veterans of the battlefield, they know that to avoid the bombardment of artillery shells, they must not lie on the ground, especially their chests cannot be attached to the ground.

On the battlefield, the soldiers who died the most were not hit by bullets, nor were they directly killed by shells, but were shattered by the shock wave generated by shells.

Especially those inexperienced recruits, the most prone to this situation, obviously there are no external injuries on the body, but the actual vitality has been cut off, some do not live for a few minutes, and some may live for two or three days, depending on the degree of damage to their internal organs, the time they can live is not the same.

And the most important thing is that once you suffer this kind of internal injury, with the medical level at that time, there is almost no cure, and you can only wait for death quietly.

The little devil veterans were undoubtedly well aware of this, so they did not dare to continue lying on the ground as they had done with the new regiment and battalion before, but used a squatting position to avoid the bombardment of the new regiment artillery company.

It's just that in this way, although they can avoid the killing of some shells, when facing the rain of bullets from the first battalion, their target is undoubtedly much larger.
