The 18th Regiment transferred a battalion to defend Xianglu Mountain, so there were only two battalions left on the 600-meter-long defense line from Xianglu Mountain to Phoenix Mountain, plus the direct troops of the regiment headquarters to defend it, plus to reserve reserves, so the entire defense line seemed sparse.

When he began to lay out the defensive line, Zhu Binqiu ordered the brothers to set up a deceptive trench along the bushes and groves, that is, to lift the turf and not dig deeply, and there was no role of trench at all, but to order the brothers to learn the individual bunkers of the 16th Regiment, and on the entire defensive line, three brothers in a group, each group built a big individual bunker, that is, to dig a big hole in the ground, in which the soldiers hid their bodies, and behind the defensive line built by heavy machine gun bunkers, a bunker was piled up with trees and sandbags. As for the light machine guns of the two battalions, they were evenly distributed on a 600-meter-long front, and as the main division of the Central Army, the 18th Regiment still had a lot of light machine guns, and there were 60 Czechs, of which 30 were arranged on this line of defense; After all, no one knows where the devils attacked......

Behind the scattered individual bunkers is the real first line of trenches, the trenches are simply camouflaged with branches and weeds, and there are three companies of the whole regiment squatting inside, these three companies are all directly subordinate companies of the regiment headquarters, the elite of the eighteenth regiment, and the last reserve ready to reinforce the key offensive areas of the devils......

Of course, Zhu Binqiu knew that this kind of defense method tested the willpower of the troops, as long as any platoon defending in the bushes and the three forests withdrew from the battle without authorization, it would cause the entire defense line to collapse......

"Battalion commander, your section will be handed over to you for command, as long as someone dares to retreat, labor and management will call the supervision team behind to suddenly pull down! Do you understand fate? My order to the Overseer is very simple, as long as I don't receive the division commander's order to retreat, including me, the retreat is as abrupt. These overseers are the gendarmerie that I specially asked for from the division headquarters! Do you understand? Zhu Binqiu took advantage of the last time before the shelling to explain to the commander of the first battalion,

"Understood! Head. The commander of the first battalion swallowed his saliva, the superintendent of the gendarmerie team did not recognize the six relatives!

"I'll go to the second battalion to have a look, and then I'll observe the Japanese offensive situation in the trenches of the reserve behind, if there is a section that can't be resisted, you don't need to report it, the labor and management will send a reserve. Do you understand? ”

"Yes! Head! "The commander of the first battalion understands that there is only a death battle today, damn little devils, and labor and management are not easy to bully......

Zhu Binqiu found the commander of the second battalion in the defensive line close to Phoenix Mountain, confessed the same, and then retreated to the trenches of the reserves.....

The mountain artillery of the "bombardment" Japanese army began to shell, and the shells fell directly on the defensive area of the second battalion......

The deception trenches in front of the 2nd Battalion were covered with earth and rocks, bushes and small trees were destroyed by artillery fire in the shelling, and the mud drifting in the air obscured the view of the brethren......

However, the officers and soldiers squatting in the individual bunkers did not have much of a problem, as long as they were not directly hit by the shells, at most the steel helmets on their heads were smashed by earth and stones......

Maybe it was because the shelling didn't blow up anything, just after ten minutes of shelling, Yoshio Sonoda directly ordered the first brigade to launch a tentative attack,

The two squads of the devil pulled away from the skirmishers and slowly touched towards this mountain forest.

Zhu Binqiu looked out of the binoculars, and looked at the dozens of devils holding rifles, crooked handles, followed by a few grenadiers, slowly touching the defense line, and muttered,

"Hehe, little devil, you really think of yourself! Just two squads want me to expose the entire defense line, dreaming! ”

"Order the two battalion commanders, let the company block it by itself if the devil attacks that company, and the rest are not allowed to expose their positions! Labor and management have to play hide and seek with the little devils today! Zhu Binqiu turned around and ordered the herald to convey the order,

"Yes, Captain!" The two heralds ran to the positions of the two battalions and gave orders to the regimental commanders.

The second battalion faced a company position, and more than 70 devils from the two squads slowly entered 300 meters, but there were so many people around the defense line, and this time the defense line was still three-dimensional, and the commander of the first company was not worried at all, and decided to wait for the little devils to enter a hundred meters, and everyone opened fire together to make a good start and destroy the dozens of little devils......

"The commander of the first company, the commander of the regiment ordered: This group of devils will be solved by your company alone, and the people of the second company and the first battalion next to it will not help, you can command it yourself! The regimental commander is watching right behind you! "The herald of the battalion headquarters touched it and then touched it back after delivering the order,

", what's this for? How about we just let us figure it out ourselves? What does the head of the regiment mean? The company commander muttered,

"Company commander, the regiment commander should have his own ideas! The devil is 200 meters in? Fight or not! Are the brothers waiting for orders? The machine gunner in the trench asked,

"Spank! When the devil enters 100 meters, the labor and management will put the devil in, and I will look at the second company and the first battalion next to me? You have all the grenades ready for me, the devil will greet me with grenades when you get close to 50 meters! "The commander of a company conveyed the order,

The brothers of the first company began to untie the grenade from their waists, unscrew the back cover and put it on the edge of the trench, the German-style long-handled grenade is just that, it will not run around when placed on the edge of the bunker or trench, unlike the Japanese melon grenades, which are easy to roll around!

"The rifle fired, and I was aimed! The machine gun waits for the devil to enter 50 meters and then bursts through! The company commander shouted,

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The sound of scattered Chinese rifle shooting sounded, and the devils who broke into the defense line immediately lay down on the spot, and began to look for cover, ready to shoot at the opposite person, these devils have this confidence, with the marksmanship of the imperial army, the five people are not necessarily their opponents, but this time the devils are wrong, the bullets they face are not only from the front, these individual bunkers are not in a straight line at all, they are scattered on the battle line, they can cover each other, due to the long defensive distance, There is no such thing as overlapping firing boundaries......

"Yaga! Only the person here is not the main force, machine guns, grenadiers cover, kill to give! "The captain of the devil's squad was angry and fought for a few minutes, except for a few people who were injured by the devil, only the person on the opposite side was shooting cold guns everywhere, which was simply a way to delay time;

"Kill, give!" Nearly seventy devils got up from the ground and rushed forward,

"Machine guns fire, grenades ready!" The commander of the first company shouted,

A company of six Czech light machine guns burst into a roar in an instant,

"Da Da Da ......"

The Czech machine gun opened fire suddenly, ignoring the crooked machine guns behind it, and fired at the charging devils......

"Poof, poof, poof......" The sound of bullets shooting into the flesh continued to sound, and the charging devils fell to the ground in pieces.

"Yaga! Cunning only that man, retreat! "The leader of the attacking little devil squad knew that his task was to test out the machine-gun fire point of that person, and then destroy it by artillery, and then attack at the squadron level......

"The machine gun is transferred immediately! Infantry shoots, aims to hit! How many can be killed, count as many. The first company commander ordered, his company can only have those three treasures, and they will be destroyed by the devil's mountain artillery......

"Bang, bang, bang"

The brothers with faces were practicing their marksmanship, aiming and shooting at the retreating devils, because there was no longer the interference of the devils, and many brothers squatted directly outside the bunker to shoot at the fleeing devils......

In the end, less than 50 of the more than 70 devils who participated in the attack ran back, more than 20 devils died during the attack, and nearly 10 died when they retreated;

"Fuck, the little devil is running too fast! If I slow down, I'll be able to kill one of them! The brothers of the first company said depressedly, seeing that this devil ran 200 meters, most of the brothers stopped shooting, and the ammunition in the regiment was not an unlimited supply, so it was better to save it.
