In Fengcheng, Yang Xingguo did not expect that the speed of the heavy artillery division would be so fast, and he would not even leave a chance to open artillery to the Japanese, so he would eat the two artillery wings of the Japanese army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Yang Xingguo was very happy.

In this way, the 2nd Division defending the city would not have to be exposed to Japanese artillery fire, and it would be able to reduce a lot of casualties.

Of course, the happy Yang Xingguo also did not expect that just a little bit, more than 20,000 Japanese troops outside the city were scared away because of the strong strength of the Liaodong Army.

With more than 10,000 elites of the four infantry wings of the Japanese army starting to move, everything that was before became a thing of the past.

In the headquarters, after listening to the specific movements of the Japanese army outside the city, including Zhou Qiangsheng, everyone focused on Yang Xingguo and waited for Yang Xingguo to decide.

Yang Xingguo knew very well what everyone was thinking, waved his hand and said: "I said that the battle to defend the city was commanded by Division Commander Zhou, and I only watched from the sidelines and did not participate. The Japanese army has already made a move, how to take it, that's your business, I won't make any decisions......"

Soon, everyone shifted their attention to Zhou Qiangsheng.

didn't let everyone wait too long, Zhou Qiangsheng analyzed: "The layout of the Japanese army is obviously surrounded by three and missing one, although there are two infantry wings at the north gate, and there is only one infantry wing in each of the east and west directions. However, after all, there are more than 3,000 elites in an infantry wing of the Japanese army, and if it is just a feint, it will definitely not need so many people. Therefore, before the Japanese offensive really begins, no one can guarantee where the main direction of the Japanese attack will be......"

"I decided to use the fourth regiment to guard the north gate with the largest number ......of Japanese troops, the fifth regiment to guard the east gate, the sixth regiment to guard the west gate, and the guard battalion to guard the south gate, so as to prevent the Japanese army from attacking us from the east and the west."

"The division headquarters directly belongs to other units, as reserves, and is ready to fight at any time......"

"Another thing I would like to emphasize is that in order to prevent us from fighting too hard, we scared the Japanese away at once. The strength of the forces holding the walls in each direction could not exceed two battalions. The specific number of troops, the three regiment commanders decide for themselves......"

"However, you must remember that your mission is not to repel the Japanese attack. The 2nd Division forced the Japanese to attack you continuously, killing and wounding a large number of their living forces......"

"After the battle, which of the three directions killed the most Japanese soldiers was the first ......"

Maybe it was because of the first time he issued a combat order in front of Yang Xingguo, after a series of orders were issued. Zhou Qiangsheng immediately shifted his gaze back to Yang Xingguo.

Yang Xingguo could only emphasize again with a helpless face: "I'll say it again, I only listen to it today, what should I do is your Master Zhou's business?" ”

While Zhou Qiangchang breathed a sigh of relief, he continued to order: "Execute it immediately!" ”

Half an hour later, the Japanese offensive began.

In the direction of the north gate, the Japanese army immediately drew out two infantry brigades to attack.

In order to cover these two infantry brigades, the Japanese army can be said to have made a lot of efforts. Two infantry wings of more than 100 heavy machine guns, lined up at a distance of 300 meters from the city wall.

As soon as the attack of the two infantry brigades began, the more than 100 heavy machine guns fired more than 100 dense and scorching tongues of fire at the city wall. A rain of bullets like a steel storm, precise and tricky. Directly shrouded the city that stretches for thousands of meters.

No matter where it is, as long as there is the slightest movement, it can immediately attract dozens or even hundreds of bullets from the Japanese army to attack at the same time.

Because I didn't expect the covering fire of the Japanese army to be so fierce, there were more than 100 heavy machine guns as soon as they came up. The four regiments were caught off guard, and twenty or thirty people were knocked down at once.

As for the rest, they were suppressed behind the stampede by such fierce fire, unable to move.

"The **** little devil, it's too ruthless, at the beginning, more than a hundred heavy machine guns were suppressed by fire, and ...... people were not allowed to live" was also pressed by bullets. Huang Yongzhong, the head of the regiment who was squatting behind the city stomping, couldn't help but scold.

Through the lookout, he glanced at Lin Tao, who was densely packed with Japanese troops outside the city, and hurriedly reminded: "The Japanese army is about to be charged." There must be a counterattack ......"

"The regiment commander, plus the division commander added to us, the whole regiment has only more than sixty light and heavy machine guns, which is not an opponent of the Japanese army at all. Fighting hard with them, we can only be beaten passively, and we have to find other ways......"

"Light and heavy machine gun counterattacks are out of the question...... And the devil so many heavy machine guns for cross-fire. It's no different from sending you to death......" Huang Yongzhong said in a firm tone.

After finishing, he ordered directly to Lin Tao: "Artillery, now we can only move the mountain artillery company in advance......" ordered the mountain artillery company to fire at the Japanese heavy machine gun position......"

"As soon as the heavy firepower of the Japanese suppressed us was disorganized, our light and heavy machine guns opened fire, and they fired at the Japanese heavy machine guns, so as not to let them continue to suppress us. Rifleman, responsible for picking up the Japanese attacking troops. Didn't the commander give our regiment five hundred grenades? As soon as the Japanese rushed to within thirty meters of the city, we used grenades. ”

"Chief of Staff, you immediately take five boxes of a hundred grenades and divide them among the brothers."

"Since the Japanese army made a ruthless move and used so many heavy machine guns to suppress us at one time, then I am not polite, take out all the family resources in the regiment and see who can hold out to the end......"

"Woooooooooo......oo As soon as the screaming sound of the cannonballs crossing the sky reached Huang Yongzhong's ears, six violent explosions sounded 300 meters outside the city.......

Of the six shells, only one of them accurately hit the target, knocking two Japanese heavy machine guns to the ground, and seven or eight devil heavy machine gunners were also killed or wounded and fell to the ground.

Huang Yongzhong did not show either satisfaction or dissatisfaction with such an artillery effect, but just watched calmly.

After all, only seven or eight officers in his mountain artillery company were gunners who came down from the original artillery regiment, and the rest were all infantry who had just become artillerymen for less than a month.

However, the chief of staff, who demanded perfection, did not think so.

As soon as the effect of the shelling came out, Lin Tao frowned and complained: "What are the mountain artillery companies doing, have they taken serious aim...... With such a close shot at the target, only one of the six shells hit the target. ”

Huang Yongzhong shook his head and comforted: "I think the effect of this shelling is still good......"

"Chief of Staff, don't forget, in addition to holding the city wall, the most important purpose of our mission is to inflict a large number of casualties on the Japanese army......"

"If all six shells of the mountain artillery company hit the target and destroy more than a dozen heavy machine guns of the Japanese army at one time, I will have to worry about it."

"I'm worried that the Japanese army will be scared away by our mountain artillery company, and if the Japanese army leaves, how can we kill or injure them......"

"Therefore, this kind of artillery bombardment effect is just right, which can not only give the Japanese army some hope, but also make them feel that our mountain artillery company does not pose much threat to them, so that they have no idea of fear. And through this kind of piecemeal fighting, the strength of the Japanese army can be consumed unconsciously......"

"The only thing I am worried about is that the shelling effect of the mountain artillery company will invisibly transfer all the pressure on the battlefield to our light and heavy machine gunners, and our light and heavy machine gunners are likely to suffer very heavy casualties."
