The appearance of this black iron armor surprised the defenders on the northeast side, and these Japanese soldiers who were fighting suddenly changed people, and let their soldiers wear iron shells and mix in the charging soldiers, although the speed of these iron shells was very slow, but the soldiers in the defensive position still gave some attention.

After all, these soldiers didn't know what the purpose of these iron armors was, and only some veterans and officers guessed that they might be used to block bullets and cover the attack of the soldiers behind.

But even if it was speculation, there was no real movement, the movement speed of these jet-black iron armors was too slow, and it couldn't do any damage at such a distance.

Instead of paying attention to these slow-moving big iron armor, it is better to deal with the Japanese soldiers who are charging in front of you first, and it is not too late to deal with the big iron armor and others rushing in front of you.

So the big iron armor that was slowly swallowed was ignored by the defenders on the northeast side, intentionally or unintentionally.

As for Duan Qirui, who was in the middle of the position, he naturally saw the situation of the Japanese army increasing the attack on the side of the northeast position, but there were too many places that Duan Qirui needed to observe in the entire position, even if it was the situation on the northeast side, Duan Qirui only glanced at it a few times through the telescope.

At this moment, Duan Qirui's eyes were on the frontal position, and he immediately saw that Shang Wen directly invested 10,000 troops in the frontal position in order to cover the northeast side, giving Duan Qirui a lot of pressure, and Duan Qirui had to put most of his attention on the front.

Limited by the fact that the military strength of his side was only half of that of the Japanese army, and on the frontal position, the Japanese army still had the intention of increasing troops, so Duan Qirui increased part of the military strength to the middle position.

A part of the mortar was also mobilized behind the frontal position, ready to support the front line at any time.

With the continuous advance of the Japanese army, the central position was also a little difficult, there was Japanese artillery fire on it, and there were Japanese soldiers who launched a charge in front, so only the soldiers inside the fortress were better, and the casualty rate of the soldiers outside was constantly increasing.

But fortunately, under Duan Qirui's order, the artillery in the city and the heavy weapons on the position gave the Japanese soldiers a lot of damage, and the Japanese army had to pay a great price for every step forward.

Limi Shangwen was also a little distressed after seeing such a situation, and it was very necessary to cover the attack on the northeast side with a large number of casualties in the frontal position, so Limi Shangwen could only acquiesce in such casualties.

However, fortunately, the large number of casualties in the central position also successfully attracted most of Duan Qirui's attention, and the attention to the position on the northeast side was not too high.

In the way of these big iron armors, there are also a lot of iron armor falling, for the defenders these big iron armor suddenly appear in front of them is also a little out of the way, these iron armor when the bullet of the rifle can not penetrate the heavy iron armor at a distance.

But these problems are not difficult for veterans at all, although some veterans of defensive positions have no effective way to deal with these big iron armors, but these big iron armors still have some shortcomings.

Not to mention, the two holes in the iron armor are not a problem for some sharpshooters to shoot bullets into the holes, even skilled heavy machine gunners can penetrate the iron armor.

Although it is said to be light, it is not very easy to do, not only to attack these slow-moving iron armor, but also to attack the Japanese infantry who launched the charge, compared to the fact that more firepower is naturally placed on the infantry, and it is not too late to say that this big iron armor is close to it.

Although the defenders on the northeast side seem to have nothing wrong with this, it is still difficult to implement in practice.

At this moment, in the distance of the trench, there were many Japanese soldiers who fell, not only the northeast position was full of dead people lying on the entire Jiuliancheng position, there were soldiers under Duan Qirui, and there were also soldiers under Lijian Shangwen.

The position on the northeast side saw that Shang Wen's big iron armor was finally slowly swallowing the front of the position, but as soon as he arrived at the front of the position, the Japanese soldiers in these big iron armors began to make difficulties.

Duan Qirui had built two layers of barbed wire in front of the position before the battle, and these soldiers in iron armor did not know what to do after encountering the barbed wire, because the heavy iron armor made them not have the ability to cross the barbed wire, and could only move in front of the barbed wire.

The soldiers who stayed in the iron armor were immediately hit by the bullets fired by the heavy machine guns, and the bullets from the heavy machine guns at such a close distance shot through the iron armor were shot into the bodies of the soldiers inside.

As a result, there was an additional pile of corpses made of steel in front of the barbed wire, and after the death of these iron-clad soldiers, the barbed wire was no longer a problem for the Japanese soldiers who charged behind the iron-clad soldiers.

One by one, the soldiers began to step on this "steel corpse pile", officially crossed the barbed wire fence and stepped into the northeast position.

The position on the northeast side also became the first position to be in close contact with the Japanese army, and Duan Qirui's eyes quickly looked at the position on the northeast side from the central battlefield.

As soon as the sword drawing team entered the position on the northeast side, a gap was broken, and after Duan Qirui saw this, he immediately sent a reserve force to support the position on the northeast side.

Although it was noted that due to the terrain, the Japanese army on the northeast side could not carry out a large-scale attack, but Duan Qirui still maintained a certain number of defenders on the northeast side, and even the number of machine guns increased.

It can be said that Duan Qirui considered a lot of aspects, but did not take into account that Lijian Shangwen used such a clumsy thing as "body armor", after the position on the northeast side was opened up by the Japanese army, both sides were continuously supporting the position on the northeast side at the same time.

The sword drawing team can be regarded as an army carefully trained by Lijian Shangwen to deal with white-edged battles, and its combat ability in white-knuckle battles is far greater than that of the defenders on the northeast side, even after the support sent by Duan Qirui participated in the defense, the entire northeast side of the position still seems to be a little dying.

For this reason, Duan Qirui had to increase the firepower of the central position, dragging the Japanese soldiers in the middle, and the remaining reserves in the city were directly invested in half of the number and joined the battle on the northeast side. (To be continued.) )
