After Yang Xingguo explained simply, regardless of whether Yuan Lei reacted or not, he directly ordered: "If nothing happens, the Japanese army will definitely desperately recapture the two artillery wings." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"We only have a special operations detachment and a regiment in the artillery wing, and our next task is to cooperate with them and annihilate more than 10,000 Japanese troops outside the city......"

"Chief of Staff Yuan, after the troops are assembled, they will immediately go out of the city and form a loose encirclement around the Japanese army with the battalion as a unit. In addition, he ordered the mountain artillery in the city to open fire immediately, and bomb wherever there were many Japanese troops, so as to reduce the pressure on the special operations detachment. ”

Soon, the Japanese troops under artillery fire began to retreat, and dozens of artillery pieces in the city also joined the battle at this time, chasing the main force of the Japanese army.

Seeing that the main force of the Japanese army had all retreated, except for the four battalions left to defend the city, the other troops that had been hastily assembled immediately rushed out of Liaoyang City under the command of Wang Hu and chased after the main force of the Japanese army.

In the Japanese artillery position, the captured Japanese artillery was constantly adjusting the artillery and firing shells according to the aiming data sent by the special operations detachment, and they did not dare to slack off at all.

Because, in less than 10 minutes just now, more than 20 gunners had already been killed by the Liaodong Army who were monitoring themselves because they were grinding their foreign skills or deliberately adjusting the angle of artillery firing inadequately.

Seeing those corpses, the remaining artillerymen among the captives knew that the Liaodong Army, which was monitoring itself, was not only infantry, but also artillery.

If you are careful in front of them, then what awaits you must be killed directly.

Therefore, even though they knew that many of their colleagues would be killed if a shell was fired, these artillerymen, who had not yet survived enough, still did their best to order the Liaodong Army behind them to shoot shells forward as fast as they could.

In the face of the shells that kept falling overhead, even though the division commander had already given the order to disperse the march, the casualties of the troops were still heavy.

I think that for field artillery shells that rely on artillery fragments to kill the enemy, howitzer shells that rely on shock waves to kill the enemy are more powerful.

After an artillery shell exploded, the Japanese troops within a radius of 10 meters, even if they were lying on the ground, were either directly shocked to death or fainted and lost their combat effectiveness.

Because of the Battle of Liaoyang, even if this division was replenished with many remnants, the total strength was still only in the early 13,000s.

In the tentative assault on Liaoyang City, a total of more than 2,000 men were lost, and the two artillery wings outside Liaoyang City lost more than 1,000 men again in the first few rounds of artillery fire.

In addition, the Japanese were killed and wounded on the way to the artillery position.

By the time the Japanese army finally surrounded the artillery position, the total strength had been sharply reduced to more than 9,000 men.

Seeing the artillery positions that continued to fire shells at the main forces a few hundred meters away, the commander of the enraged division gave the order to attack without thinking.

Concentrating all the heavy machine guns of the division to provide fire cover, the four infantry brigades rushed to the artillery position from four different directions, striving to rush into the artillery position with all their might, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Liaodong Army, which the Japanese army was best at.

The division commander's idea was good, and his opponent Zhang Shanlin was not a vegetarian.

As soon as the Japanese heavy machine guns were set up and they had not yet fired, more than 100 artillery pieces on the position began to adjust their firing at Zhu Yuan.

Almost at the same time, when more than 100 Japanese heavy machine guns were fired one after another, more than 50 field guns that could be aimed at close range also fired.

Although less than 30 percent of the more than 50 shells hit the target, these dozen shells still blew up more than a dozen Japanese heavy machine guns into parts, and more than 100 Japanese soldiers were also sent back to their hometowns with shells.

After seeing the tragic situation of the heavy machine gun position at the "Bage Yalu ......", the division commander was very heartbroken and painful, but he did not give the order to retreat.

Because, as soon as the troops retreated, all the losses suffered in front were lost.

As a result, the heartbroken division commander could only grit his teeth and order: "Tell the attacking troops, speed up, the fire cover provided by the heavy machine guns will not last long, and we only have this chance to attack." Even if all of them are killed, they must be killed close to the artillery position. ”

Nearly 4,000 Japanese infantrymen, armed with rifles, rushed towards the artillery position with a roar as if they had eaten chicken blood.

Because the Japanese army still had more than 100 heavy machine guns for fire cover, the number was more than twice that of the Fifth Regiment of the Liaodong Army.

In the face of the Japanese troops rushing closer and closer in front of them, they could only lie in the trenches and stare dryly, and there was nothing they could do.

Because, as soon as they exposed their heads from the trenches, the Japanese army's fierce suppressive fire could instantly turn him into a hornet's nest.

"Regiment commander, the Japanese army is rushing more and more, and the brothers can't raise their heads, what should I do, is it really a Japanese melee hand-to-hand combat?" The battalion commander who was squatting next to the regiment commander Xu Youchun said anxiously.

Before Xu Youchun, who was frowning, could speak, the deputy captain of the special operations detachment on the other side vetoed.

"The Japanese army is impatient, and our ordinary soldiers are definitely not opponents one-on-one. Moreover, they have nearly a thousand more troops than us, and they must not fight hard. ”

"Then what should we do, we can't fight back, I really can't think of any other way than hand-to-hand combat?" The commander of the first battalion shouted anxiously.

Xu Youchun also shifted his gaze to **** at this time and asked: "Vice Captain Wang, you have fought a lot with the Japanese army, do you have a good way......

"In the past, when we fought against the enemy, we had the advantage in firepower. Now it's the other way around, and I really can't think of a good way to do it for a while? ”

"Grenades!" After a short thought, **** replied.

"Ordered the brothers to throw grenades and block us with smoke. The Japanese heavy machine guns were deployed 300 meters away, and with the help of smoke, their fire suppression would definitely be greatly reduced. ”

"Our men took the opportunity to shoot, and the Japanese army had already rushed to a hundred meters away, and there were many people, and the formation was dense, as long as they roughly aimed at the target, they could shoot the Japanese army. As long as we find a way to hold them off for five minutes, the artillery behind can blow up the Japanese heavy machine guns to almost the ground. When the time comes, we can fight back in full.

"That's it, throw grenades right away and create smoke ......" Xu Youchun, who couldn't think of any other way, decisively decided.

As soon as hundreds of grenades exploded, the thick smoke of gunpowder formed a curtain wall in front of the five regiments.

Xu Youchun clearly felt that the dense bullets that were still flying close to the trench just now became messy from the moment the smoke rose, and there were even many bullets flying directly at a height of several meters above everyone's heads.

After glancing at the **** beside him gratefully, Xu Youchun decisively ordered: "Brothers, the time has come for us to fight back." All the light and heavy machine guns were set up, and they immediately opened fire to block the Japanese troops. ”

As soon as nearly 100 light and heavy machine guns were fired, a dense barrage of bullets was formed in front of the positions of the five regiments.

Because the firing distance was less than 100 meters, most of the bullets missed off.

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 Japanese troops fell as they got closer and closer.

In the process, the 5th Regiment and the Special Operations Detachment also lost a dozen people in the messy suppressive fire of the Japanese army.

But most of them are ordinary officers and soldiers of the Fifth Regiment, and there are very few special operations detachments.

This is because every time a special operations detachment fires a rifle bullet or a shuttle machine gun bullet at a place, it will immediately retract into the trench and change the bullets, and only after making sure that there are no bullets flying over its head will it get up again and shoot forward.
