Chapter 94: Bayonets on the cannons

Sun Weiguo did not give the attack order to the peripheral troops, and the Japanese army was currently on the offensive, and the peripheral troops were not suitable to participate in the war.

He quickly readjusted the defensive positions of the second and third companies, and at the same time the machine gun company, mortar company and artillery squad, Sun Weiguo let them all devote themselves to the battle.

The fortifications outside the village were reinforced again, and the soldiers stood inside the trenches, waiting for the arrival of the devil soldiers.

After some shelling, Kenji Suzuki summoned Wang Haitao, the captain of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army and the commander of the Puppet Army Cavalry Division.

The previous Japanese attack had already caused the loss of an infantry squadron, which Kenji Suzuki was very unhappy about.

When the Japanese captain and Wang Haitao came to him, Kenji Suzuki had a cold face, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes looked coldly at the two officers in front of him.

"Wing Commander, the attack of the troops failed, please punish the Wing Commander." The captain of the Japanese army bowed and said in a respectful tone.

Kenji Suzuki was furious in his heart, and he mobilized heavy troops to come to Nanzhuang Village, but the Japanese attack failed.

In particular, there are puppet army units that are being held back head-on, and their own troops still cause the loss of a squadron.

If Wang Haitao hadn't been here, if it weren't for the fact that the troops would continue to attack for a while, Kenji Suzuki would definitely have slapped the Japanese captain a few times.

Looking at the nervous expression on the face of the Japanese captain in front of him, Kenji Suzuki waved his hand and said: "This strength of the Dirt Eight Roads is indeed not simple, they are also equipped with excellent weapons, one defeat is nothing, I believe that you will take the position of Nanzhuang Village, and kill all these Dirt Eight Roads." ”

"Hey, please rest assured, the Wing Commander will definitely conquer the position of Nanzhuang Village and cut off all the heads of these dirt roads."

Hearing Kenji Suzuki's comforting words, the Japanese captain said with gratitude on his face, and he bowed again.

"Wang Sang, your cavalry has sent six hundred people over, and your cavalry needs assistance for this attack." Kenji Suzuki said in a cold tone.

Wang Haitao didn't dare to disobey Kenji Suzuki's order in the slightest, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

"Suzuki Taijun, please rest assured, I will arrange for the cavalry to come over immediately, and our Mongolian army is willing to become the pawn of the imperial army."

Regarding Wang Haitao's performance, Kenji Suzuki had a smile on his face, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Six hundred puppet cavalry were quickly transferred to the right position, along with the artillery squadron directly under the 80th Wing.

Kenji Suzuki adjusted his deployment again, and the Japanese troops began to deploy again.

This time, Kenji Suzuki continued to invest the strength of two squadrons, followed by the artillery squadron and infantry artillery squadron directly under the wing.

In addition to these Japanese troops, Kenji Suzuki also deployed six hundred puppet cavalry at the rear.

The cavalry were to follow the charge, and behind the cavalry, Kenji Suzuki deployed a machine-gun position.

This machine-gun position can not only cover the charge of the troops, but also play the role of supervising the battle, if the puppet cavalry wants to escape, the heavy machine guns in the machine gun position will open fire.

At about three o'clock in the morning, after the failure of the first offensive, after a burst of artillery bombardment and redeployment, the Japanese attacked again.

The way the Japanese attacked did not seem to have changed much, and the twelve mountain guns of the artillery brigade began to roar.

Shells hit the trenches again, huge explosions rang out one after another, and pieces of gunpowder smoke rose in Nanzhuang Village.

Two squadrons of infantry pulled apart a distance of a hundred meters, they divided into two echelons and moved towards the trenches.

Behind the more than 400 devil soldiers, they followed the artillery unit, and the Japanese artillery pushed the artillery and advanced slowly.

The Japanese wing level usually had two artillery squadrons, one artillery squadron was equipped with four 41 mountain guns, and the other artillery squadron was equipped with 4 92 infantry guns.

It is worth mentioning that whether it is an infantry gun or a mountain artillery, this is very light, and almost every artillery only needs two devil soldiers to push it around.

In order to be able to destroy the fortifications of the prefectural brigade at close range, Kenji Suzuki put a bayonet on the cannon and directly put the artillery into the front-line battle.

The 41-type mountain guns and 92 infantry guns equipped by the Japanese army can also be directly pushed to the enemy's position as anti-aircraft guns.

The twelve mountain guns of the artillery brigade had already begun to extend their artillery fire, and the devil soldiers quickly rushed towards the trench with bayonets in their hands.

The second squadron at the front was less than three hundred meters from the trenches, and the Japanese units quickly dispersed, and at the same time they were not concentrating grenadiers and light machine guns.

The grenadiers and machine-gun shooters dispersed with the infantry, and when they found a suitable spot, they began to set up crooked light machine guns and eight-nine grenadiers.

Grenades began to fire, and machine-gun bullets were fired as if they were not worth money.

Sun Weiguo was still guarding the trenches, and after seeing the Japanese scattered and shooting, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Battalion commander, it's weird, the little devil seems to be attracting our firepower, can we fight now?" Chen Yang, the commander of the third company, came to Sun Weiguo and asked.

"Let the artillery company fire flares, first look at the offensive deployment of the little devil and then make a decision, the little devil suffered a loss last time, this time they will definitely change the deployment."

Sun Weiguo hesitated, he didn't let the heavy machine gun and grenadier start shooting, he felt that the little devil seemed to be prepared.

At present, the second platoon of the machine-gun company has been concentrated here in the position on the right, and three Type 92 heavy machine guns have been deployed in the fortifications.

Three grenadiers and two infantry guns also began to be deployed in the trenches, and as soon as Sun Weiguo gave the order, they would immediately fire.

But Sun Weiguo was very cautious, he knew very well that there were only three of the nine grenadiers in the Third Company, and there were only three heavy machine guns on his side.

If these weapons were destroyed by Japanese artillery, then the third company would have fought very hard in the subsequent defensive operations.

The Japanese grenadiers and light machine guns were still firing, but the defenders were silent and did not respond.

The signal corps immediately conveyed Sun Weiguo's order, and the flare was quickly shot into the air.

The dark night was like day in an instant, and the actions of the devil soldiers were completely exposed to Sun Weiguo's sight.

"Good guy, the little devil is really at a cost, even the artillery has been pushed to the front line. Immediately get the mortar company ready, and after the battle begins, the mortar company should not be afraid of losses, and knock out the artillery of the devil soldiers for me first. Sun Weiguo immediately called the communication soldiers, and he quickly gave the order.

The messenger who received the order immediately ran towards the village, and he began to convey Sun Weiguo's order.
