Fang Chaoqun's order began to be given, and the tanks of the 5th Panzer Regiment immediately began to advance to the sides, and at this time, the Japanese artillery began to fire.

Shells hit the tank without warning, a huge explosion sounded, the ground began to shake, and huge craters appeared.

At the same time as the Japanese artillery carried out the shelling, six bombers began to fly overhead, and the Japanese aviation immediately began to drop aerial bombs.

The troops of the 201st Division were attacked by the combined attack of Japanese artillery and aviation, and more than a dozen tanks were destroyed on the spot, while armored vehicles and trucks suffered even worse losses.

The commander of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army, Toshiyoshi Ando, calculated everything, and he was ready to use the fortifications to inflict huge losses on the Chinese troops.

"Retreat, retreat immediately, contact the artillery to suppress immediately." Fang Chaoqun, commander of the 201st Division, immediately gave an order.

The artillery brigade immediately provided fire suppression, and the troops began to quickly withdraw from their positions, and in this operation, the 201st Division lost more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles, and the losses were not small.

The 201st Division's attack on Huizhou was frustrated, and the morale of the officers and soldiers began to be affected, and the Japanese troops held Huizhou steadily and repelled the attack of Sun Weiguo's most elite troops.

In the 106th and 18th Divisions of the Japanese Army, the troops of the New Seventh Army and the 62nd Army also began to attack, but their attacks did not have much effect.

The little devils relied on strong fortifications to resist, and they repelled four or five attacks in a row, and inflicted certain losses on the troops.

The battle lasted until 12 a.m., but the divisions had nothing to gain except to destroy the barbed wire fence set up by the Japanese on the perimeter.

On the contrary, after the Japanese troops resisted the attack of the Chinese troops, their morale became more vigorous, and many devil soldiers held their positions as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Yingde, the former enemy general headquarters of the Fourth Theater, after Sun Weiguo got the reports from various departments, the expression on his face was not very good.

After Sun Weiguo smoked seven or eight cigarettes back and forth in the general headquarters, he left the general headquarters directly with his own guards, and he came to the front line in person.

Because the Qingyuan attacked by the 62nd Army was very close to the General Headquarters, Sun Weiguo came here directly, and the 62nd Army troops were resting at this time.

The troops of the 152nd Division, which was responsible for the main attack, lost more than 500 people in this attack, and the division commander Chen Zhangzheng called three regiment commanders to hold an operational meeting.

As Huang Tao, commander of the 62nd Army, accompanied Sun Weiguo to the headquarters of the 152nd Division, the officers stood up one after another, and they saluted Sun Weiguo.

"Division Commander Chen, introduce some front-line situations." Huang Tao said by name.

"Yes, Throne. Commander-in-chief, at present our division is attacking the line from Qingyuan to Fogang, according to our understanding, the Japanese army stationed on this line is about two brigades, but this group of devil soldiers is well-equipped, they rely on fortifications to repel our division's three group attacks in a row, the Japanese army set up barbed wire in front of the main position, minefields, and set up a lot of pillboxes and bunkers and machine gun fire points, our troops are currently concentrating on attacking Shangyue Village, but it is very difficult. ”

Chen Zhang immediately reported to Sun Weiguo, and he said with a difficult expression on his face.

The defense range of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army is from Guangning to Qingyuan, Qingyuan to Fogang, and here from Guangning to Qingyuan, it is defended by the 23rd Brigade of the 18th Division, and from Qingyuan to Fogang, it is defended by the 35th Brigade of the 18th Division, and the two brigades of the 114th Wing of the 35th Brigade are deployed on the main position and the forward position, and its 124th Wing is as a reserve, and the brigade headquarters is in the rear.

At the same time, an infantry brigade of the 114th Wing was also assembled in the rear, and this infantry brigade was able to quickly support the main position.

So far, the troops of the 152nd Division have opened several gaps in the barbed wire at the cost of losing more than 500 people, and destroyed some minefields, but they have never been able to cross the forward positions of the Japanese army, let alone continue to advance to the front, and there is little way to deal with these reinforced bunkers and hidden bunkers of the Japanese army, and the troops of the 152nd Division who lack artillery have little way.

"I went to the front, learned some information, wrote a letter, took the guards, changed into a rifle." Sun Weiguo gave an order and said.

"Commander-in-chief, this is too dangerous, you can't go to the front line." Hearing that Sun Weiguo wanted to go to the front line, the army commander Huang Tao immediately stopped and said.

Sun Weiguo shook his head slightly, he looked at Huang Tao and said, "If I don't go to the front line, how can I understand the situation, and how can I find a way to crack it?" ”

Hearing Sun Weiguo say this, Huang Tao could only agree, but he still had to accompany him personally, he didn't want Sun Weiguo to have an accident here.

The troops of the 152nd Division immediately transferred a battalion to protect Sun Weiguo's safety, and after arriving at the front line, Sun Weiguo immediately ordered the guards to start an attack on the Japanese army.

Xin Bowen with more than thirty fighters began to cross the barbed wire, they quickly passed through the minefield and began to approach the forward positions.

Soon the Japanese army found Xin Bowen and others, and then they quickly started shooting, and bullets quickly hit Xin Bowen and others.

Sun Weiguo held a telescope to observe, and Xin Bowen and others quickly hid in the crater, but did not pay any casualties.

However, the Japanese firepower points were very fierce, and they all crossed each other to form a firepower network, which if they reacted slowly, they would be killed.

Sun Weiguo put down the binoculars, he ran quickly towards the front with a rifle, Huang Tao and the others saw Sun Weiguo rush directly over, but they were so frightened that they almost sat on the ground.

"Don't move, wait for me here, you follow me, the little devil is definitely going to shoot." Sun Weiguo immediately shouted at Huang Tao and the others.

"Commander-in-chief, what are you ......" Huang Tao said with a solemn face.

But Sun Weiguo didn't pay attention to it, he had already rushed over with a rifle, and quickly came to the hidden trenches such as Xin Bowen.

"Concentrate your fire to suppress the pillboxes on the left, and attack the pillboxes on the right side of the group." After coming to Xin Bowen, Sun Weiguo immediately issued an order.

The guards began to concentrate their firepower on the left pillbox, and those who could enter Sun Weiguo's guard were naturally veterans of a hundred battles, and they quickly suppressed the left pillbox of the Japanese army.

With a "snap", Sun Weiguo began to pull the trigger, and a moving little devil was shot on the spot.

The firepower of the pillbox on the right began to intensify, and the Japanese two crooked light machine guns began to fire fiercely.

"Boom, boom." Immediately afterward, the Japanese grenadiers also began to shoot.

Miniature grenades began to explode nearby, and as the explosion sounded, Sun Weiguo also began to give the order to retreat.

After this tentative attack, Sun Weiguo learned about the composition of the Japanese army's forward bunkers, and he probably had a corresponding strategy.

However, in order to break through the Japanese position, it is necessary to concentrate the firepower of the troops, and to have sufficient containment forces.
