They had never encountered a Chinese unit with such ferocious firepower, and even they themselves could not imagine that they could use more than 3,000 men against a force of 15,000 men, even if this force was only armed with rifles.

The Devil's troops have always been known for their belligerence, and it is undeniable that the Devil's troops are lackluster in attack, but they are very tenacious in defense, and they are also proud of their defensive power.

After all, in the later stages of the Russo-Japanese War, the devils were already on the defensive, and they were not defeated under the angry artillery fire of the Tsar, but stubbornly made the Tsarist Russian troops finally exhaust all their strength on their own.

But they didn't expect to encounter such an opponent as the New First Army, although the Chinese troops encountered in the previous battle were also very brave, even if they only had a big knife, they dared to fight to the death with the devil.

However, there was a serious surprise on both sides in terms of weapons and training, so that the devils did not suffer much loss in those battles, but when they faced the roar of the new army, they were passive everywhere, and were almost led by the nose by the enemy.

As later generations said, knowledge is strength, although the strength of the new army is not as good as that of the devils, but Zhang Cheng's mind is filled with the knowledge of the professional troops of later generations, which greatly weakens the advantage occupied by the original devils.

Moreover, these fortifications were carefully built by Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng also knew that the devil's heavy artillery was transferred to the Henan battlefield, and it was impossible for the devils who were only equipped with this portable mortar to destroy their fortifications.

The main role of mortars is to destroy the enemy hiding behind cover, and it is used to kill and wound people, even ordinary stone houses are difficult to destroy.

Devils can only attack with human lives, and this is what Zhang Cheng wants, although the devil's attack is fierce, but with these two layers of fortifications, even if the devil progresses fast, it is impossible to eat them in a short time.

"Order the reserve troops to support the past immediately, even if you pay the casualties of the next fight, you will say that all those barbed wire fences have been destroyed by me." Junrokuro Matsuura's eyes were indifferent and ruthless.

For him, the soldier's life is not very important, as long as he can catch or kill Zhang Cheng, then all the sacrifices are worth it.

However, I have to say that Junrokuro Matsuura still has a strong strategic vision, although the Japanese army has been defeated in the hands of Zhang Cheng again and again, but he can accurately grasp the situation on the battlefield.

Now Hu Rongda's troops are a little weak in attacking the devils, although the incessant sniper guns have caused the devil's front-line commanders to suffer heavy losses, but the impact of the sniper rifles in such a large-scale operation is very small.

If the enemy's troops were only a few hundred or nearly a thousand, then such a large-scale killing and wounding of the enemy's grassroots officers would indeed easily cause the enemy army to collapse, but now Hu Rongda and the others are facing a force of more than 10,000 people.

Even if some grassroots commanders are killed or injured, it will not have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire army, after all, human beings are group animals, as long as they see that there are still enough troops, then the devil's inner will to fight will not collapse.

"Whoosh gotta give...... ......The slogan of the devil sounded again on the battlefield, and in the rear of the devil, a troop of about one or two thousand joined the attacking team.

Looking at the devil's desperate charge, Zhang Cheng knew that the second layer of barbed wire was doomed, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, at this time he had to learn to make trade-offs.

"Order the troops to stop firing and aim all machine guns at the barbed wire recess." Zhang Cheng turned around and gave orders to the heralds beside him, there was no need to disperse the defense at this time.

Because it was difficult to kill and injure many devils' troops at all, the devils were now like cunning rats, they had learned to disperse the formation, and the distance between the two sides was a little long and the smoke and dust raised by the devil's artillery made it difficult for them to aim at the target.

And the sunken barbed wire fence is the most necessary defense for the devils, because directly opposite it is the lowest part of the fortifications, which is mainly used for assault.

It is impossible for any fortification to completely seal off the enemy, which would leave your troops without any chance to counterattack, so there is a gap in the trench about three to five meters wide.

The fortifications here are about half a meter shorter than the rest of the city, and can actually be seen as a decoy to lure devils into attacking here.

After the Chinese troops stopped firing, the devils quickly pressed the wooden planks against the barbed wire, and then many devil soldiers quickly rushed towards the remaining barbed wire fence about 50 meters wide.

But just as they rushed over, Zhang Cheng used his own bullet to tell the devil how cruel it was on the battlefield.

Hula, bang!

The heavy wooden planks were directly pressed against the barbed wire, but the elasticity of the barbed wire itself was not directly broken by the boards, but soon other comic versions of the devil followed, and the wooden planks were pressed hard against every inch of the barbed wire.

Even the thigh-thick stake barbed wire began to tilt overwhelmed, and then there was a thud when the plank came into close contact with the ground, so that the devil's plank could safely pass through the barbed wire.

However, most of these devils have successfully removed the threat of barbed wire, but the section of barbed wire more than 50 meters in front of it is not so easy to destroy.

That section of barbed wire was on the most vulnerable position for the troops of the New First Army, so it became a key target for the devils.

However, the devils realized where the focus of their attack was, and Zhang Cheng and the others naturally used it as the main position to resist the devils, because it was easier for the devils to break through, so the deployed troops and firepower were naturally much larger.

When the devil's troops were destroying the barbed wire fence in other ways, they concentrated a large part of their troops to storm the place, intending to destroy the place in one go while the troops of the New First Army were overwhelmed by the destruction of their own side.

Then they took advantage of the situation and rushed into the positions of the new 1st Army, at this time the devils still insisted that as long as they could break through the strong concrete defense line, then they would be able to achieve the final victory.

The soldiers of the New First Army have undergone great changes in the brutal battle and fed with the blood of devils.

A troop is not about how long he has trained, but whether he has experienced brutal fighting, and the brutal fighting makes each soldier quickly master the survival skills on the battlefield, so that they can burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

The devil is rampant, and the personal combat effectiveness is indeed above the Chinese soldiers, and in terms of close combat alone, even if the physique of the new first army has an advantage, but after a long period of malnutrition and lack of combat experience, the balance of victory on both sides is also tilted on the side of the devil.

So Zhang Cheng didn't allow such a thing to happen at all, for Zhang Cheng, the fortifications were just a step to resist the devil, and at the same time, he didn't leave a backhand, even if the devil took away this position, it would only make the devil closer to death.
