A lot of grenadier grenades, which Sangou attaches great importance to, were also delivered, and some high-ranking women and children also joined the ranks of the transport team, which made the soldiers very moved.

Sangou took a child's warm meal and swallowed it with tears in his eyes.

I didn't have time to thank the villagers of the stretcher team of the transport team, so I immediately nested in the tent, flashlights and Xiucai were studying the distribution of Japanese troops and the offensive route in Sixi.

Sixi is very familiar, yes, but now it is where the base camp of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army is located, and it cannot be taken lightly, at this time Sangou ordered each company to send a search team with squads as a unit to go out to collect the situation of the Japanese army in Sixi and report it in time.

However, on the Phoenix Ridge, if it is daytime and the vision is good, you can use the telescope to see Sixi, but I am afraid that I will not dare to wait until that time, for fear that the Japanese planes will bomb it.

Therefore, the Luo headquarters asked all regiments and battalions of the 51st Division to be units to enter Sixi as soon as possible before daylight arrives, and entangle themselves with the Japanese army, so that the Japanese planes will be helpless.

In addition to the plane, Sangou is now worried about the mountain artillery and field artillery of the Japanese division and regimental headquarters, that guy, as soon as the artillery comes over, the mortar and heavy machine gun positions in Phoenix Ridge will be reimbursed immediately.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Sangou strictly ordered the machine gun company not to expose the fire point, and paid special attention to the preparation of air defense and anti-artillery.

Although the personnel of the machine gun company shed little blood and sacrificed, when everyone was resting, they were busy, constantly digging bunkers and even tunnels for air defense and artillery defense.

The next attack on Sixi will be another vicious battle, the three dogs can't take a break, and they go to see it one by one, wanting to take a final look at these brothers, at this time, take a look at it less.

Looking at these soldiers who slept very soundly, Sangou's heart was sour, many of these cute and distressing little brothers, many of whom were only seventeen or eighteen years old, were actually children.

These children in their youth, who have just ushered in the bloom of life, are about to wither in this damn war, and in the end, the three dogs can't stand it and don't leave, so they simply sleep among them.

Maybe I will die in Sixi, maybe everyone will die in Sixi, then it's nothing, anyway, in another world, everyone will still be together, so there is no need to take a second look here.

……

On March 26, the thirtieth year of the Republic of China (1941), at the end of the Yin period, that is, at more than four o'clock in the morning, before dawn broke, when the east was white, the 51st Division launched an overwhelming offensive against Sixi.

The eight mountain guns of the artillery battalion of the 51st Division took the lead in finishing all the shells a few minutes ago.

As the encirclement became smaller and smaller, there were more and more Japanese troops in Sixi, almost everywhere, and this shell immediately exploded.

A large number of Japanese troops were killed by artillery shells, the Japanese army had almost nowhere to escape, the density of people was too great, and Sixi belonged to the plain, and there was almost no advantage in mountains and terrain.

There are so many trenches and bunkers in Sixi that there is no way to hide more and more Japanese troops, so at this time, the power of the explosion of artillery shells has been exerted to the limit.

The mountain artillery of the 51st Division fired almost blindly, as long as it was shot in the range of Sixi, a dozen was a large area, a large number of houses were blown up, and the center of the town became a sea of fire, reflecting half of the sky.

Just when the artillery was roaring, the 152nd Regiment, as the vanguard of the 51st Division, had already moved to the foot of Fenghuangling Mountain, close to the edge of Sixi Town.

The three battalions were on the left flank, and they could see the forward positions of the Japanese army, a large number of snake-bellied barbed wire and barricades, etc., and the trenches in the fields were dug in all directions.

Occasionally, a few shells from the 51st Division's mountain artillery would hit this side, blowing up some barbed wire and trenches, but it had little effect on the overall situation.

The three infantry companies of the third battalion lined up on the left, center and right, and the demolition soldiers of each company had prepared blasting canisters and explosives, and under the cover of machine guns and grenades, they took advantage of the smoke to rush towards the forward positions of the Japanese army.

The long blasting canister blasted the snake-bellied barbed wire very well, and once it was blown up, it was a big hole, and the various demolition teams continued to move forward, blasting the explosives and blasting canisters to the trenches and bunkers of the Japanese army.

Bursts of explosions erupted at the front of the position, flames and wood and mud flew all over the sky, and in the smoke, the sound of various machine guns was screaming, including Japanese ones, and bullets were flying everywhere, which was terrifying.

Part of the machine gun company of the third battalion has also moved down from the Phoenix Ridge Mountain, and the three dogs, according to the situation of the enemy and us, have visually observed that the Japanese artillery is now without shells, otherwise, it will definitely counterattack the mountain artillery position of the 51st Division.

Therefore, it was decided to mobilize a part of mortars and heavy machine guns to shoot at the Japanese positions at close range, and the 92 heavy planes of the Japanese troops close to the left flank position lost the help of the infantry artillery mountain artillery, and were soon blown up one by one by the mortars of the third battalion.

The 3rd Battalion's Min24 and Soviet-style Makqin water machine guns began to fire violently, suppressing the light machine guns and rifles in the forward positions of the Japanese army so that they did not dare to be too arrogant.

Taking advantage of this gap, the three infantry companies of the third battalion accompanied the 152nd Regiment to launch a grand charge attack, and on the wide position, multiple waves of straggler formations rushed to the forward position of the Japanese army.

The Japanese fought back at the risk of death, and the light and heavy machine guns fired desperately, but the mortar shells were soon blown up, and then, the Chinese army paid the first group of chargers, and immediately some people rushed into the Japanese position.

The most tense moment passed, and in the command post of the third battalion, which was temporarily erected only 500 meters away from the position, Sangou and Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief.

After entering the trench warfare, the initiative will gradually be grasped by the Chinese army, after all, the short-hit burst weapons and blades have an advantage, and the Japanese army's ammunition loss is also very fast.

In order to stop the advance of the Chinese army just now, almost all the bullets of light and heavy machine guns were shot, and the remaining single-shot rifles were negligible in the face of the charge of the large corps.

The platoon commanders and squad leaders of the third battalion, holding submachine guns, attacked in all directions in the trenches, and the dense bullets made the Japanese army dare not attack head-on, and a large number of trenches were taken away by the Chinese army.

Sangou also took part of the mortars and heavy machine guns of the machine gun company, and moved forward with the battalion command post until he entered the bunker in the forward position of the Japanese army.

Most of the bunkers here were blown up by the grenades of the soldiers of the Third Battalion, and they were filled with choking gunsmoke and the salty smell of blood.

The traffic trenches of the first to the second and even the third defense were filled with the sound of shouting and killing and the clanging of weapons, supplemented by the sudden and dense sound of bullets and the occasional grenade explosion.

The Japanese army could not even supply grenades and grenades, so they could only fill this huge bottomless pit with human lives, and after a round of fighting, the Japanese army had to shrink its forces and positions and retreat to the core position of Sixi Town.

Almost all the soldiers of the 51st Division were advancing in a centripetal movement, and the entire periphery of Sixi was shrouded in smoke, with gunfire and shouts of killing.
