Chapter 945: Retreat is a strategy
When the 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Infantry Brigade of the Ishihara Detachment of the Japanese Army began to break through from the positions on the left and right flanks and quickly advanced to the depth to catch up with the evacuated troops, the troops of the New 1st Division, which had been hidden in the trench defense holes, began to sort.

Under the leadership of regiment commander Zhang Wenbin, the new first regiment quickly began to advance to the western position, the new second regiment quickly advanced to the eastern position under the leadership of regiment commander Zheng Guan Zilin, Chen Zhengwei's new third regiment quickly took over the defense of the 142nd Division's Wucheng middle road, the headquarters of the first infantry brigade was established on the front line, and Qin Xianliang, deputy commander of the first infantry brigade, personally went to the front line to command the troops to fight.
As the 1st Infantry Brigade of the New 1st Division began to act, the positions broken through by the Japanese were re-blocked, and at this time the Ishihara detachment was split in two.
To the north of the 1st Infantry Brigade is the 1st Infantry, 2nd Infantry, 5th Infantry, Mountain Artillery Squadron, Infantry Artillery Squadron, and to the south of the 1st Infantry Brigade is the 3rd Infantry and 4th Infantry Brigade of the Ishihara Detachment.
At this time, the 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army did not realize that their retreat had been blocked, and they were still desperately advancing towards the deep zone.
However, how did they know that dozens of artillery pieces of the 3rd Artillery Brigade and the troops of the 4th Regiment of the recruits had already begun to set up defensive positions in the area of the White Horse Temple and other areas.
The troops of the 142nd Division, which were feigned to be defeated, also quickly entered these defensive positions, and when the little devils entered the artillery strike range, the 4th Artillery Regiment 30 94-type mountain guns and 20 105mm howitzers began to shoot, and the 50 artillery pieces quickly fired shells, and for a time the shells were all over the sky and hit the devil soldiers.
One by one, the shells fell into the ranks of the devil soldiers, the explosion sounded, shrapnel flew everywhere, and the ghost soldiers immediately lay on the ground to dodge.
"Bagaya Road, where did the artillery appear, did our artillery unit shoot off, damn it, where is it shooting."
"Captain, it's not good, the position we broke through was occupied by the Chinese troops again, and now our rear road is blocked, and we have lost contact with the main force."
"No, this is not our artillery, it's the Chinese artillery unit, this is a 105mm howitzer."
The devil soldiers began to exclaim, at first they were shelled, they thought that their artillery had missed their position, but as they found that the back road was blocked, the devil soldiers realized that they had been tricked.
The little devils reacted quickly, and when the 3rd and 4th Infantry Brigades found out about their situation, they quickly marched towards the middle lane, and they wanted to meet together.
But the Chinese forces would not give them this opportunity, and as the artillery began to extend, the new 4th Regiment, which was responsible for the security of the artillery units, began to attack.
The main force of the regiment launched an attack on the Japanese army under the leadership of the regiment commander Fu Tao, while the troops of the 142nd Division, which had just been withdrawn, immediately rested and recuperated, and they would also start to attack later.
The plan formulated by Sun Weiguo and Fu Liping was to cut off the connection between the little devils and put some of the little devils in the depth to fight.
This plan was successful, after the little devils broke through the position, they felt that their opportunity had come, and they quickly approached the depth, but they were directly hit.
Wucheng Town, Sun Weiguo held a telescope and looked ahead, at this time, the first infantry brigade, the second infantry brigade heard the sound of artillery from the depths, and they also realized that something was wrong.
The two brigades quickly moved closer to Wu Town, and they wanted to support the 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Infantry Brigade.
However, when they entered the range of artillery fire, three field artillery batteries, three mortar batteries, and three mountain artillery batteries directly under the three infantry regiments, a total of 36 artillery batteries, began to fire.
The cannonballs hit the devil soldiers, and a large number of the ghost soldiers who were caught off guard fell in a pool of blood.
The four Japanese infantry guns were set up in a panic, but these four infantry guns were immediately hit by the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the 1st Infantry Brigade.
The anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the 1st Infantry Brigade has 16 37mm anti-aircraft guns, which can be used for flat fire.
You must know that German anti-aircraft guns are very powerful when they hit armored targets when they fire flat.
As soon as the four Japanese infantry guns were about to fire shells, they were hit by sixteen anti-aircraft guns.
One by one, the armor-piercing shells hit the Devil Soldier infantry artillery, and the four infantry guns were smashed into a pile of scrap iron on the spot, and the Devil Soldier Artillery was even beaten into a mess of minced meat.
Where would the little devils have expected such a situation, they can only start to hide from the shells.
When Tsunetaro Ishihara, who was personally commanding in the back, saw this scene, his face turned iron-blue, and his eyes looked coldly towards the front.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Chinese troops should have changed their guards, and the firepower of this unit is not the Chinese troops we encountered before. Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, now that the 3rd and 4th Infantry Brigades are besieged in depth, we must quickly break through the positions in China, otherwise the 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Infantry Brigade will be in danger. ”
A staff officer immediately came to Ishihara Tsunetaro, he looked at Ishihara Tsunetaro in front of him, and said in a solemn tone.
Tsunetaro Ishihara held the binoculars and looked carefully, he knew that the other side would have so many artillery, then the number of troops would definitely be large.
"Order the Fifth Infantry Brigade to be immediately put into operation." Tsunetaro Ishihara immediately gave an order and said.
The 5th Infantry Brigade, which served as a reserve, began to enter the operation, and at this time the 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalions also began to attack the positions.
"Don't be nervous, there's nothing to be afraid of the little devil, listen to my orders to fight, don't shoot without permission."
The Japanese army attacked the position of Chen Zhengwei's newly formed third regiment, and at this time Chen Zhengwei came to the front-line position, he bent his waist and shouted loudly.
The officers and soldiers stared at the ghost soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and their faces showed different expressions, the veterans were naturally very relaxed, but the recruits were inevitably nervous and frightened.
"Three hundred meters, heavy machine gun fire!" Chen Zhengwei shouted.
As Chen Zhengwei's order began to be issued, more than a dozen heavy machine guns began to shoot, and the bullets formed an impermeable firepower network, and one bullet after another quickly fired towards the devil soldiers.
Dozens of casualties appeared in the charging devil soldiers in an instant, and the devil soldiers behind immediately began to counterattack.
Grenadier canisters and light machine guns began to fire at the positions, and miniature grenades and bullets accurately attacked the heavy machine gun shooters.
A heavy machine gun shooter was killed on the spot by a bullet in the head, while the secondary shooter hurriedly moved the heavy machine gun with the ammunition man.
Soon the area began to be attacked by Japanese miniature grenades, and the troops of the new 3rd Regiment began to exchange fire with the Japanese troops. (To be continued.) )
