The infantry battalion responsible for the attack was the second battalion of the 276th regiment, and the attacking troops were two infantry companies, this battalion was on the right flank of the position, and the troops of the two companies prepared for the attack first, and the 82nd mortar platoon in the trench first opened fire on the Japanese position to cover the infantry attack.

The two mortars took turns firing in the center of the trench, firing about twenty shells, and during the shelling, the attacking two companies were ready to attack, and the rifles with bayonets were in an attack posture, and the shells exploded in puffs of smoke on the Japanese positions.

"Rush!"

The right flank of the trench sounded the sound of killing, two companies of attacking troops rushed out of the trench, attacking the Japanese position, the two companies of the attack rushed out of the trench and gradually unfolded the formation under the organization of officers and veterans, the formation inevitably appeared within a certain range of confusion, the reason is still due to the problem of too many recruits and lack of training, but compared with before, it is much better, after all, these soldiers have been through several battles.

After the attack was launched, the men and horses of the two companies spread out in front of the Japanese position, rushed to a distance of 100 meters, and the Japanese position began to return fire.

The defense of the Japanese position is enough to have the strength of a large brigade, Zhang Wei and the two lines of defense they killed, the Japanese army in the first line of defense is only two squadrons, the second line of defense is only a few squadrons, three battalions fought over, the occupied position is of course, the first two positions themselves are the periphery of the periphery, and the current position is the strength of an infantry brigade, getting closer and closer to the core position of Sanyiji, and the strength of the defense is definitely getting stronger and stronger.

There were two infantry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron in the trenches of this brigade, and another infantry squadron was on standby behind the main position to assist in the defense, and the infantry artillery squad of the brigade set up a firing artillery position behind the main position, and the 75-caliber mountain artillery shelling the first-line position was not destroyed by the infantry artillery.

The fire was quite fierce from the beginning, the fire network of rifle machine guns and heavy machine guns swept away the Chinese soldiers who rushed to the front, the grenadiers opened fire from behind, and the two companies that attacked tentatively did not retreat, these firepower alone were not enough to make them retreat, and despite the heavy casualties, the two companies continued to attack desperately forward.

"Light machine gun cover, all rush forward for me." The commander of a company who led the attack saw that the troops had suffered a small setback, and held a Czech type against the Japanese position, and the surrounding soldiers attacked forward under the cover of machine guns, and all the light machine gun crews fired on the spot to cover, and the infantry continued to advance under the fire of the Japanese army, and the six heavy machine guns of the Japanese army continued to fire, and the Chinese soldiers who rushed in front fell under the heavy machine guns.

"The devil's firepower is too fierce!" The platoon commander of the front line shouted to the company commander in the rear, several forward squads in the vicinity have been trying to approach the Japanese position, but as soon as they rush forward, the Japanese machine guns will immediately follow, and as soon as they rush to within 100 meters, all the light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers on the position have opened fire.

"Lao Tzu knows." The company commander changed the magazine for the Czech light machine gun, shouted impatiently, and as soon as the words fell, a grenade flew straight towards the company commander's position.

"Company commander be careful!"

The signal soldier around him pounced on the company commander who was holding a light machine gun and shooting in a lying position, and the company commander also bowed his head to avoid the bullet, and the grenade fell seven or eight meters away, and after the explosion, the company commander raised his body, and his body was full of blood, and he pushed away the signal soldier on his body, only to find that the signal soldier blocked most of the shrapnel for him. The company commander pushed away the corpse of the signal soldier, picked up the light machine gun with a curse, and changed the firing position.

"The three rows in the back are all rushed by Lao Tzu, all pressed up, and used machine guns to suppress Little Japan." The company commander pulled the trigger angrily and continued to shoot at the Japanese soldiers.

The light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers in the Japanese positions had been fully fired, and the Chinese troops were struggling to advance within a distance of 100 meters, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns opened fire within the specified firing range, and the bullet casings on the bullet board ejected the barrels of the guns with the characteristic sound of firing, becoming the most effective weapons for shooting Chinese soldiers, and the grenadiers looked for the light machine guns of the attacking troops in front of the formation and opened fire.

The attacking troops were blocked, Zhang Wei and they could see clearly in the trenches, and they could clearly see the fierce battle in front of the formation with the naked eye, one by one the soldiers tried to keep rushing forward, but they couldn't advance a few steps, and the infantry fire of the Japanese army alone was already quite fierce.

"The little devil's firepower is fierce, and the machine gun is the weight of a brigade." Qiu Wei said eagerly, anxiously looking at the attacking troops in front of him.

"The strength of the defense must be a brigade, didn't you see that little devil fire, light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers were all beckoned." Mu Chao interjected.

Zhang Wei shook his head: "Sure enough, it's a hard nail, go and let the mortar platoon come up with the platoon to fire a few shots at the Japanese position." "The two sides have been stalemate, and if the fight continues like this, it must be the two companies in front of the formation that will be defeated, and the purpose of testing the strength of the Japanese army has been achieved, and what we need to do now is to minimize the casualties of the attacking troops and open artillery to cover the two companies in front of the formation.

Zheng Yiqun hurriedly went and called the mortar platoon commander. He was ordered to open fire on Japanese positions.

The mortar platoon commander made a difficulty, because now the Japanese position and the attacking national army were stuck within a distance of 100 meters, and the subjects of their training on weekdays were only simple artillery bombardment, and there was no such close coordination of infantry and artillery.

"Sir, our infantry is still in front of the position, and if you get too close, something will happen." The mortar platoon commander said with a sad face.

"You hurry up and open fire, the Japanese firepower is so fierce, if you don't suppress the artillery, the casualty command will be greater, besides, you can extend the firing range a little more." Zhang Wei thought to himself that if he didn't open artillery to cover, the two companies that attacked would only become more and more consumed, even if it was worth injuring a few people by mistake, and the attack was originally tentative, if there was no cover, would it be difficult for the two companies in front of him to be driven behind the butt by the Japanese bullets.

The mortar platoon commander could only take the order for the mortar to open fire on the Japanese positions.

The troops in front of the formation fought miserably, the attacking infantry only advanced more than ten meters forward, and the attacking troops as a whole fired at the Japanese troops in the same place, from time to time some soldiers threw grenades forward, and used the cover of grenades to attack, but unfortunately the Japanese bullets were faster and denser, and the soldiers could only stop in place.

The two company commanders of the attacking unit gathered together in front of the battle to organize the battle of the troops and discuss countermeasures.

"The Japanese are fighting too hard to attack."

"If you can't attack it, retreat."

"Fuck this place out, how many people have to die, bullets chasing and beating."

Both of them knew that if they retreated here, the troops would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the troops were within the range of Japanese fire, and when they retreated, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties when they turned their backs to the Japanese troops.

A whistling sound sounded over the heads of the "boom boom" attack troops, and then bursts of explosions appeared inside and outside the Japanese positions, some hitting far away, some hitting outside the Japanese positions, and the scattered shrapnel almost wounded several soldiers of the attacking troops.

The mortar platoon in the rear carried out rapid fire under Zhang Wei's order to provide cover for the attacking troops in front, and some of the shells hit outside the Japanese position, and some flew into the side of the Japanese position with poor accuracy.

The two company commanders seized this opportunity and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat.
