After being attacked by the fire of the preparatory battalion, the Japanese troops who attacked the position of the preparatory battalion suffered heavy casualties, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were everywhere in front of the formation, some lucky wounded soldiers were dragged out by the retreating Japanese troops, and the tragic situation of the wounded made the follow-up Japanese troops shocked, to say that the battle wounded, these Japanese soldiers also saw more, but only the wounded soldiers who pulled down were extremely miserable, with steel nails inserted in their heads and bodies, and their bodies were hit by a large area, and the two eyes that were even more miserable were blinded by steel nails. When it was dragged down, the ghost cried wolf, and even if it was saved, it was a half-cripple.

In this situation, the Japanese army had to adjust the attack, just a round of fierce fighting of the preparatory battalion really hurt them, the Japanese army attacking the preparatory battalion retreated, withdrew 50 meters, that is, outside the bombing distance, and fired on the spot at a safe distance, and the soldiers of the preparatory battalion began to confront, and the formation was scattered, temporarily forming a stalemate with the preparatory battalion, and the battlefield situation returned to the two sides firing, the Japanese light machine guns and heavy machine guns, grenadiers attacked the position of the preparatory battalion, and the preparatory battalion returned fire with rifle machine guns and grenadiers.

"Well played!"

After the "steel nail" grenade attack of the preparation battalion, the soldiers in the position broke out into a burst of cheers, the Japanese army rushed very close, and the tragic situation of being bombed made the soldiers of the preparation battalion see clearly, and there are also disadvantages, the additional steel nails can fly far under the action of the grenade warhead, and a few soldiers threw the grenade closer, and a few steel nails flew over, wounding two soldiers, but fortunately they were not injured in the vital parts.

The Japanese army was hit hard and retreated backwards, and the preparatory battalion carried out a burst of fire pursuit, but the devils retreated quickly, pulled a few wounded soldiers and retreated, and began to shoot at the preparatory battalion, and there were a few wounded Japanese soldiers who had no time to pull away in front of the position fell to the ground and wailed, seeing the two armies shooting at each other, the soldiers of the preparatory battalion ignored these devils and killed them directly, which was cheap for them.

"Call me for grenadiers and heavy machine guns!" Zhang Wei ordered.

The Japanese troops withdrew to fifty or sixty meters to develop, the two sides fired at each other, and the Japanese heavy machine guns also pulled up to suppress the position of the preparatory battalion, at this time they could only use heavy machine guns and grenadiers to fight with them, and the mortars behind had been firing continuously for a long time, and the task of attacking the explosive firearms was handed over to the six grenadiers of the first company.

The six grenadiers of a company scattered in the trenches, throwing grenades into the Japanese army, the Japanese troops on the opposite side were extremely careful after experiencing heavy losses, the team was very scattered, and the grenades were thrown for a few rounds, and the losses caused to the Japanese troops were not large, but the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army also killed and wounded some soldiers in the position of the preparatory battalion, and the heavy machine guns continued to shift, and a company of grenadiers in the trenches was difficult to kill the Japanese heavy machine guns.

The two Belgian heavy machine guns on the heavy machine gun position have been firing fiercely, these two guns were not ready to shift positions and intermittent fire when they first fired, suffered a loss, were targeted by the Japanese grenadiers, and finally suffered a cannon 92 infantry guns, the heavy machine guns were not damaged, several soldiers were killed, Zhang Wei saw the problem, and quickly asked people to ask them to transfer their positions, the soldiers of the heavy machine gun platoon only then moved, fired intermittently, kept shifting, evaded the Japanese attack, and also knocked out several Japanese soldiers who wanted to leap forward to attack.

After the Japanese army and the preparatory battalion fired at each other for a period of time, the view organized a surprise attack again, but the preparatory battalion was well guarded, the rifle machine guns and grenadiers were organized into a firepower network, and the Japanese army was also on guard against the grenade attack of the preparatory battalion again, and the corpses with steel nails in front of the formation were the best warning.

On the entire battlefield, the reserve battalion in the center firmly withstood the Japanese attack, and let the Japanese retreat for a while, and the middle attack was frustrated, and the Japanese temporarily gave up the tactical attempt to break through the position of the reserve battalion first, and instead transferred part of the troops attacking the center to the two flanks.

In front of the preparatory battalion, only a small number of men and horses were left to shoot at the preparatory battalion, trying to contain the preparatory battalion, and the main direction of attack was shifted to the two flanks, and most of the heavy machine guns and infantry guns carried by the attacking Japanese troops were deployed on both flanks, especially on the left flank, and the Japanese concentrated two infantry guns to cover the attack, plus three heavy machine guns, more than half of the heavy firearms of a Japanese infantry brigade were deployed in this direction.

"Boom" a grenade fell in the trench of the preparatory battalion, the grenade hit the rear wall of the trench, killing two riflemen of the preparatory battalion who were shooting, and the scattered shrapnel injured a secondary shooter of the light machine gun, Zhang Wei felt the air wave from behind, and glanced at the place of the explosion, the Japanese army retreated and was in a defensive state as a whole, and organized a small-scale assault.

"Herald, go to the second company commander and ask, how is the situation?"

Zhang Wei was in the temporary command position on the position of the first company, and the second company was on the left of the first company, and he could not thoroughly determine the situation there, so he could only send someone to ask, on the whole, the firepower and offensive of the Japanese army in front of Zhang Wei had weakened, only the sporadic shooting of rifle light machine guns and some grenadiers, and the speed and accuracy of shooting were also greatly reduced, and he did give the Japanese army a hard blow, but Zhang Wei did not believe that with the usual tactics of the Japanese army, after suffering a heavy setback, it was so calculated, and the casualties of the Japanese army just now were very large. It's not big enough to hurt the bones.

The defensive position of the three battalions, and it is a first-line trench, is very long, it can be said that this kind of fortification is the most ordinary, and even the fortification that should have been eliminated a long time ago, only out of the need for temporary construction, such a position was urgently excavated, there are many people, and the overall situation cannot be judged by the naked eye, Zhang Wei is worried that the Japanese army in front of the battalion has been repulsed and suppressed, and the friendly forces on both wings have not made any mistakes.

Just sent someone to the second company to ask about the situation, and Zhang Wei, who was not at ease, asked people to go to Zheng Yiqun's third company to explore the battle situation.

The Japanese side, frustrated in the center, began to try to break through from both flanks, and the two flanks could not be taken into account, the Japanese concentrated the main firepower and most of the infantry heavy firearms on the left flank, suppressed the reserve battalion with a few heavy machine guns, and arranged on the right flank a reinforced 92 infantry gun and a heavy machine gun squadron, including two heavy machine guns.

As for the main point left flank, an infantry artillery squadron and three heavy machine guns were strengthened, and most of the additional forces from the center and rear were also strengthened on the left flank attack force, and the Japanese troops who commanded the attack on the front line intended to concentrate on a breakthrough, and the left flank was the main point of the breakthrough.

When the battle between the preparatory battalion and the Japanese army was the most intense, the Japanese army's attack on the left flank position was quite ferocious, and the left flank position was the second battalion of the 276th regiment, that is, the battalion that had launched a feint attack on the Japanese army before.
