The roaring sound of artillery came from afar, exploded one after another on Mantou Mountain, and some even hit trees and burst into flames, and the shelling stopped half an hour later.

"The devil is coming!" I don't know who screamed.

I saw that the devils under the mountain began to charge up the mountain in pairs.

Tang Bing walked out of the anti-artillery hole, picked up the binoculars and looked down the mountain, it was densely packed with devils, he turned around and returned to the command headquarters to pick up the phone and connect to the division headquarters.

"Hey, can the division commander get the artillery battalion to support it?" Tang Bing said.

"Okay, I see." Chen Fei hung up the phone when he replied, and immediately picked up the phone again to connect to the artillery battalion.

"Old guns?" Chen Fei said.

"Yes, Commander." The old gun replied.

"Hit the second base, support the second brigade, move quickly, transfer immediately after the fight, otherwise the devil will fight back." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The old gun replied.

"Tom Tom Tom~" Thirty mortars and eight mountain guns of the artillery battalion fired.

One after another, the shells exploded in the devil formation, and although the devil formation was scattered, it still made the sudden shells blow up dizzy.

"Hit~" Tang Bing shouted, he cooperated well with the artillery bombardment.

"Dada~"

"Bang bang bang~" The sound of gunfire and explosion resounded in Mantou Mountain.

The Fifth Regiment, as the main position of the Devils' frontal attack, suffered the most fierce attacks from the Devils.

"Don't stop the heavy machine guns, don't move anymore, it's going to be dark and it's going to be dark, keep the fire." Zhao Dadao shouted loudly.

One by one, the grenades flew towards the enemy group, and the smoke caused by the explosion blocked the devil's sight very well.

Zhao Dadao wanted to drive the devil back in one go, and the devil was not easy to fight, since he had already charged, he would not stop easily, otherwise he would lose morale.

The ballistics fired by machine guns were from top to bottom and bottom up, as if mowing grass, and everything fell down at the slightest touch, even hard rocks were punched out of small pits, while grenadiers and mortars made round craters up and down the mountain.

The Devil Veterans are very agile and jump forward through craters one after another. Chen Fei looked at the battle in front of him, and kept frowning, the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade fought well, but the devil's attack was very rhythmic, grenadiers, mortars with infantry advances, assault assaults, cover cover, tactical movements are very skilled.

Moreover, the marksmanship of the devil's cover personnel is very accurate, although the battlefield is filled with gunsmoke and flying sand and rocks, but the hit rate is still very high. Thanks to several heavy machine guns of Zhao Dadao's regiment, braving the attacks of devil grenadiers and mortars, gritting their teeth and holding on, the devil assault troops could not get up.

The situation of the three regiments and six regiments on the left and right sides is similar, but it is not as stressful as the frontal Zhao Dadao regiment, maybe the devil regards the front as the direction of breakthrough.

"Wang Liang, send someone to inform the heavy machine gun battalion to support the Fifth Regiment." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Wang Liang replied and went to arrange it immediately.

As soon as the heavy machine-gun battalion and the reconnaissance battalion had just ascended the mountain, as soon as they received the order, they hurriedly carried the heavy machine-guns and ran to the frontal position.

"Captain Zhao, let's support you." Camp Elder Wang Fu shouted.

"Oh, it's better for the division commander to be good to me Lao Zhao, the heavy machine gun will leave with a bullet chain, otherwise it will be covered by the devil's heavy artillery." Zhao Dadao said.

"Okay!" Battalion Commander Wang Liang replied that he would immediately arrange a heavy machine gun position.

He shouted as he arranged: "One bullet chain, leave after 200 rounds, remember everything." ”

The devils under the mountain are ready to make a final assault before dark, and the hordes of devils shout "Onboard!" "Lunge up the hill.

"Da Da Da Da~" There were twelve more heavy machine guns in the frontal position at once, and this dense rain of bullets blinded the devil at once.

The devil commander under the mountain suddenly understood that the Chongqing army on the mountain was not an ordinary army, and when it was dark, the devil commander could only reluctantly order a temporary retreat.

Although it was retreated, the artillery cover was indispensable, and one by one the heavy artillery flew towards Mantou Mountain, although there was no accurate target, but it also made the Chongqing army unable to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

A menacing battle was immediately retreated.

Tom and Charlie, who were watching the battle at the gate of the headquarters, were frightened, and when they saw that the devil had withdrawn, they looked at each other with a wry smile, probably because they hadn't seen the real battlefield for a long time.

At this time, the gunfire in Shahe Town gradually subsided.

When night fell, dozens of places in Shahe Town were on fire, and Lao Zhangtou wasted no time in delivering a hot dinner, braised beef and stewed potatoes, and added vermicelli, and multigrain rice was enough.

"Two, don't look at it, let's have something to eat." Chen Fei said with a smile to the two observers.

"Thank you, General." Tom said.

"God, the day is over." Charlie said.

"No, no, the devil will not give up the night attack, and the night attack is also the devil's strength." Chen Fei said.

"Ah, can your warriors, general, still fight?" Charlie asked, surprised.

"Hahaha, what are these words, of course you can fight, eat quickly, don't worry, the dishes on this cold day are cold fast." Chen Fei said with a smile.

The two looked at each other again, smiled awkwardly, and immediately devoured it, after all, it was a happy thing to be able to eat hot food on the battlefield.

At this time, Chen Fei saw Zhu Guowen coming in with a face full of gunsmoke: "Why is the deputy division commander here, how is the situation below?" Chen Fei said.

"Division commander, the two regiments fought very hard, and I came to Lao Zhangtou to bring some explosives. By the way, can the two regiments in the town be withdrawn to the end of the town? Zhu Guowen said.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, it's all hard, tell the old dog, Zhao Liu be careful tonight, take turns to arrange rest, the devil will definitely attack." ”

"Yes, I see." Zhu Guowen saluted Chen Fei and turned to leave.

Chen Fei originally wanted to ask him to eat something, but Zhu Guowen came and went in a hurry, he was very dedicated and didn't waste time.

The devil's shelling of Mantou Mountain continues.

"Damn, it's endless. This devil's cannonball is like it doesn't want money. Wang Liang scolded.

"If we don't say that we were driven to Chongqing by the devil like a duck, there is no heavy artillery, planes, and the devil wants to come and dream of us." The old steamed bun replied.

Chen Fei was fighting with his upper and lower eyelids at this time, and he was so sleepy.

"Don't say it's useless, let's go, go to the front and have a look." Chen Fei said. He was still not worried about the defense of the town's position.

Chen Fei picked up the submachine gun and walked out of the headquarters first, walked down the mountain quickly to the defense line of Liu Meng's regiment, and went to the front town after a few words.

As soon as it got dark in the town, the fighting basically stopped, and the positions of the two sides were staggered, each holding its own position.

Chen Fei and the others entered the Zhu family ancestral hall under the leadership of Liu Mengtuan's scouts.

"Commander, why are you here?" Zhao Liudao.

"How? Can you still hold on? Chen Fei asked directly.

"Yes, yes, but I won't be able to hold on tomorrow, and now we have a lot of losses, thanks to our automatic weapons, otherwise we would have been driven out of here by the devils." Zhao Liudao.

"Well, if you want to retreat, you can withdraw with the old dog, you can't go alone, otherwise you will be surrounded by each other immediately." Chen Fei said.

"Well, we thought of this problem, just now Deputy Division Commander Zhu sent a batch of explosives and immediately went to Lao Gou's side, which is also about it." Zhao Liudao.

"Be careful tonight and arrange more sentry posts." Chen Fei said.

"Understand, if we don't attack at night, the devil will be sent to death when he comes." Zhao Liudao.

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Be careful, tell Deputy Division Commander Zhu that you should be careful of the bombing of devil planes at dawn tomorrow." “

"Yes!" Zhao Liudao.

Chen Fei saw that there was nothing to explain, so he went back.

Originally, I still wanted to go to the old dog group, but thinking that Zhu Guowen was here, I wouldn't go, so as not to make him think that he was not at ease with him.

The battle has been fought like this, and every soldier is a veteran, Chen Fei took a look at the defensive position of the independent regiment and encouraged the soldiers.

In any battle, as long as the highest commander is on the front line, it can increase the confidence of the soldiers, in fact, it is to tell the soldiers that the commander is next to you to fight with you.

Aoki Sakurada was annoyed that he hadn't captured Shahe Town before dark, but as a commander, calmness was the first condition, so he calmed down and said to the chief of staff next to him: "Nan Shengjun, inform the troops to repair and replenish food, and attack at three o'clock in the morning tomorrow." ”

"Hey!" Chief of Staff Nan Shengjun replied, and immediately turned around and walked out of the tent to make arrangements.

At three o'clock in the morning, the attack was discussed by Aoki Sakurada and the division commander, for the unit in front of them, the number of people unknown, the equipment unknown, the number of Chongqing Army unknown, they all felt a little difficult, after fighting for so long, there were no prisoners, not to mention, not even the body was found, you can imagine how terrible this Chongqing army is.

But terrible is terrible, this Shahe Town must be taken, this is an order given by the commander of the Yuanbu, not to mention that the two divisions can't take Shahe Town, then the face of the imperial army will be gone.

At this time, Chen Fei went up and down the mountain for a round trip, and when he saw that there were no more artillery on the mountain, he went to the Second Brigade to take a look, and told Tang Bing to be cautious, although it was a cliché, Chen Fei still explained to Tang Bing, after all, he was now surrounded by devils, and if he was not careful, he would be in trouble if he was broken through by a corner of the devil.

Chen Fei returned to the headquarters, and Liu Xiaomei came to report that the chairman personally called and must hold on until the reinforcements arrived, Chen Fei nodded, and he understood. But I smiled bitterly in my heart, principal, you should set a time for me, this battle is to be fought in the rhythm of independent divisions.

Chen Fei originally wanted to comfort the wounded soldiers, but he was so sleepy that he lay down on the marching bed and clothes that Wang Liang had spread in the corner, and after a while, he cried out thunderously.

At three o'clock in the morning, the devils in Shahe Town began to move slowly in the dark night.

The sentries of the Old Dog Regiment noticed the devil's movement first, and the sentry immediately picked up the flower mechanism and fired at the devil who was crawling forward.

"Suddenly~" The gunfire burst out, and dozens of grenades flew out of the old dog group in an instant.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

Aoki Sakurada also considered that the sneak attack might fail, and the sound of gunfire and explosions was together, and immediately ordered the brigade to attack in an all-out way.

Night battles were a common occurrence for the Aoki Brigade, but this time against the independent division, they were also very proficient at night, and many machine guns began to emerge from the broken walls of Shahe Town.

The old dog command is in a grain store. Zhu Guowen looked at the old dog and said, "Commander Zhao, I'll attack from the side and disturb the rhythm of the devil's attack." ”

"Deputy division commander, I'll go." The old dog said.

"No, I'll just take the teaching team, don't worry." After Zhu Guowen finished speaking, he picked up the submachine gun and left.

And the devils in Mantou Mountain also began to slowly attack the mountain with the cooperation of mortars, and it seems that the offensive momentum is very fierce, but this time the devil's breakthrough is in Tong Kai's regiment, the devil is strong this time, the troops are sufficient, and the detailed attack on the main attack really makes Tang Bing confused, anyway, he is desperately trying to block it.

The night was a good thing for the artillery battalion, and as soon as the old guns heard that the battle had begun, they immediately came to their aid.

One after another, the shells flew towards the devil's charge formation, and the devil's mortar was in full swing from the beginning, and it was difficult to distinguish. After a long time, Tang Bing saw the way out, the devils in front of Zhao Dadao's regiment attacked slowly, and there were more confrontation shots than advances, while the devils in front of Tong Kai's regiment attacked bravely, and at a glance, he knew that he wanted to tear a hole here.

"The correspondent went to inform the artillery, focusing on shelling the front of the Tong Kai regiment, let's go, go to the Tong Kai regiment." Tang Bing said as he got up and went to Tong Kai's group.

Chen Fei got up immediately when he heard the gunshots in a daze, ran out of the command headquarters and looked outside, but all he saw ballistics flying up and down the mountain, and explosions were in the sky, and the real situation was really invisible.

"Wang Liang, call and ask what's the situation?" Chen Fei said to Wang Liang.

"Yes!" Wang Liang replied and went to call immediately.

Chen Fei is not afraid of the devil's sneak attack at night, even if any army is broken through by the devil, the sacrifice will be great.

Wang Liang immediately finished making a phone call and reported to Chen Fei that the troops had fully received the enemy. This reassured Chen Fei.

Zhu Guowen led the teaching team around the devil charge troops, and went around from a small alley on the left side to the back of the devil charge troops.

"Deputy division commander, look, the mortar position of the devil." Guo Liang said.

"Well, I saw it, more than a dozen mortars, a few grenades will be solved, I see that this devil charge formation is very scattered, we may not be able to surround so many devils when we attack, find the devil's advance command and kill him." Zhu Guowen said.

"This is black, it's hard to find, deputy division commander, or I'll take a company to attack first, and you can observe it before moving." Guo Liang said.

Zhu Guowen shook his head and said: "No, it's useless to attack again like this, after you attack, I may not be able to find the enemy's headquarters." ”

"So what should we do, we can't do nothing?" Guo Liang said anxiously.

Zhu Guowen looked at the fierce battlefield and thought for a while: "Captain Guo, you take a platoon to kill the mortar position, and retreat immediately after killing it, I will attack the flank of the devil and disrupt the pace of the devil's attack." ”

"Yes!" Guo Liang didn't talk nonsense, and immediately waved his hand to lead the guard platoon to the devil's position.

"Grenade preparation." Guo Liang said softly, he took out two grenades and opened the back cover.

"Ready, pull, 1, 2, 3, throw~" Guo Liang said.

I saw more than a dozen grenades suddenly fly into the unprepared artillery position of the devils.

"Boom, boom~" An explosion sounded.

"Kill!" Zhu Guowen shouted as soon as he heard the explosion of the devil's artillery position.

"Dada~"

"Tutu Tu Tu ~ " The teaching team suddenly came out.

Lao Gou and Zhao Liu kept watching the battlefield, and when they saw a series of large explosions behind enemy lines, they understood that Deputy Division Commander Zhu had made a move.

The two regiment commanders tacitly ordered the troops to counterattack at the same time.

"Kill, kill, kill~" The sound of gunshots, killings, and explosions on the battlefield suddenly became more violent.

Aoki Sakurada had also been watching the battle, and the sudden change in the battlefield made him stunned, but he was also a veteran, and immediately gave an order: "Nansheng-kun, order the troops to stop attacking and defend on the spot." Don't let the Chongqing army's advance collapse. ”

Zhu Guowen's attack was fast and brave, but the opening was not big, and he was immediately blocked by the devils, and he could not advance, and the attack of the two regiments seemed to be lively, but it was only a small advance under the resistance of the devils, and when the two sides shot at each other, the situation on the battlefield returned to the same situation as yesterday.

The only merit is that the devil was caught off guard, and the momentum of the offensive was suddenly counterattacked by the independent division, which is equivalent to saying that Aoki Sakurada's sudden attack failed.

When Aoki Sakurada reacted, he understood that this was just an interspersed unit of the Chongqing Army, which disrupted the rhythm of the troops' attack, and he gritted his teeth in anger.

He looked at his watch, and after more than two hours of attacking, he found nothing, and also lost some positions and a dozen mortars.

"Nan Shengjun, the sky is about to dawn, send a report to the division commander and ask for tactical guidance from the Air Force." Aoki Sakurada Road.

"Hey!" Chief of Staff Nansheng replied and immediately went to make arrangements.

Aoki Sakurada looked at the sky that was about to turn white, and said to the adjutant beside him, "Order the troops to withdraw from Shahe Town on all fronts." ”

"Hey!" The adjutant replied.

As soon as Zhu Guowen returned to the old dog headquarters, the gunshots became sparse.

"What's going on?" Zhu Guowen asked strangely.

"The devils are retreating in a planned way, I guess it's almost dawn, and the devils are ready to shell with heavy artillery again." The old dog said.

"Oh, then quickly pick up the division commander, tell him the situation, and let's go." Zhu Guowen said.

"I've been on the phone with the division commander, and other troops are retreating, just waiting for you." The old dog said.

"Okay, I'll take the teaching team to the mat, you go quickly." Zhu Guowen said.

"Yes!" The old dog replied and immediately began to transfer with the regimental headquarters.

Chen Fei received a call from the old dog, saying that the devil was retreating, and immediately understood, he hung up the phone, and connected to Liu Mengtuan, telling him that the devil was preparing to shell, and the independent regiment and the first regiment were retreating, and asked him to respond.
