Chapter 273: Here's the Opportunity

Soon, the devil is regiment commander made a decision to concentrate the strength of one brigade and two brigades of the field artillery wing to take the position of the Liaodong Army in one fell swoop. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Perhaps in order to take the position of the four regiments in one go, the artillery preparation of the devil's eighteen field guns lasted for half an hour.

Even if the Liaodong Army dug a lot of anti-artillery holes here before the war, in such a fierce artillery attack, there were still almost two platoons of soldiers who were buried alive in the anti-artillery holes without even seeing the shadow of the devil.

The reinforced anti-artillery holes were blown down by the shelling, not to mention the surface fortifications.

After the shelling was over, and the soldiers of the fourth regiment rushed out of the anti-artillery hole, a picture appeared that surprised everyone.

The long trenches have been blown up to the point that there are gaps everywhere.

In many places, the soil layer that was directly blown up by the shells has been refilled, and the trenches are not visible at all......

Liu Yun, the commander of the fourth regiment, stood at the exit of the anti-artillery hole, looking at the scene in front of him, with a shocked face, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Dozens of machine guns from the devils covering the infantry attack rang out.

Because the terrain here is very good, there are no limitations.

The devils took out more than 30 heavy machine guns from two squadrons at one time, with a gap of 10 meters between the two squadrons, and lined up 300 meters in front of the four regiments.

As soon as the more than 30 heavy machine guns that the devils were covering the attack fired, a dense rain of bullets flew towards the four regiments.

Because the position was bombed to the point that there were gaps everywhere, and the surface of the position was covered with a thick layer of floating soil.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of brothers were hit by bullets fired by devils and fell to the ground.

At this time, the head of the regiment, Liu Yun, finally woke up from the shock.

After looking at the devil who was still two or three hundred meters away in front of the formation, he ordered loudly.

"What are you still doing, waiting for death......

"Light and heavy machine guns, choose your own position, immediately counterattack the devils, and suppress their heavy machine gun fire."

"One battalion to cover, the others, immediately repair the fortifications. Hurry up, the sooner the better......"

Less than halfway through the fortifications, the first battalion in charge of the guard opened fire.

Hearing the gunshots, the other two battalions immediately dropped their sapper shovels. With his weapon in hand, he lay down in the trench he had just repaired, and shot bullets at the devil more than 100 meters away.

The devils are not vegetarians either, and six or seven hundred devils are doing all kinds of tactical moves to dodge the bullets flying towards them. Keep going on the offensive forward. With a rifle in his hand, he was very skillful in pulling the gun during the attack and counterattacking the Liaodong Army.

Soon, casualties began to appear among the four regiments in the defensive positions.

Of course, as an infantry regiment composed entirely of veterans, the combat effectiveness of the four regiments is not covered.

Firing bullets at the devil at his fastest shooting speed, although he can't bite the flesh, but after seven or eight rounds, or even four or five bullets are fired. You can still hit a running devil.

After all, there were six or seven hundred devils in front of the formation, and the entire offensive formation was very dense.

However, even so, the fourth regiment still had no way to stop the devil's attack.

After losing two or three hundred people in a row, the devil soldiers, who were not afraid of death, finally rushed to a position less than fifty meters away from the fourth regiment.

Seeing that the pressure on the four regiments on the battlefield is increasing, and there is no support, at most, in a few minutes, the devils will rush into the positions of the four regiments.

Yang Xingguo, whose brows furrowed again, asked Sun Liechen directly, "Chief of Staff." We also have several formed mountain artillery companies......"

"There are only five left...... All of them are directly under the mountain artillery battalion of three divisions! Sun Liechen replied.

"Enough......" Yang Xingguo, who couldn't help but sigh, said with his eyes shining.

"Order two of the mountain artillery companies to open fire immediately and repel the first round of attacks by the devils. Tell the artillery unit. This time, when will the devil's shells hit our artillery positions, and when will the artillery retreat......"

"I want to eat this devil and give the devil an illusion at the same time, in order to hold the headquarters, my Liaodong Army has reached the point of life and death, even the artillery. also fight until it is destroyed. ”

Under the desperate attack of the two mountain artillery companies, more than 80 shells fell in the middle of the devil attack troops in front of the four regiments.

More than 400 devils, after the baptism of these shells, there is less than a squadron that can still move in the end.

Even if the Fourth Regiment has lost a battalion of troops, the devils of less than a squadron are not the opponents of the Fourth Regiment.

Therefore, as soon as the shelling ended, the remnants of the devil hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield under the dense bullets fired by the four regiments.

"Our opponents are also starting to fight hard......" In the face of defeat, the commander of the Devil Division did not get angry, but opened his mouth with bright eyes and sighed.

"Both the infantry and the artillery are fighting to the death with us. It can be seen from this that the Liaodong Army has been forced to a dead end by us......"

"There are only a thousand Liaodong troops in front of us, as long as they are eliminated, the Liaodong army will be finished...... Order the field artillery wing, plus a field artillery brigade, and I will blow up the positions of the Liaodong Army......"

"After the shelling is over, another brigade will go up and destroy the last elite ...... of the Liaodong Army"

As soon as the strength of a brigade left, there was only one guard squadron left around the division commander.

In order to ensure the safety of the division and regiment headquarters, and also to ensure that the division commander has enough troops in his hands to continue the next battle.

After obtaining the consent of the division commander, the chief of staff immediately transferred the two full-fledged brigades that were protecting the artillery and baggage in the rear.

As for the guarding and protection of the artillery and baggage, it was given to three brigades that had been crippled and the total strength was less than three squadrons.

At the beginning, the chief of staff was still very worried about this transfer, fearing that the Liaodong Army would take the opportunity to sneak attack the divisional field artillery wing and the baggage brigade.

However, when he thought of the division commander's judgment on the situation of the Liaodong Army in front of him, the worry in his heart immediately disappeared.

No one could have imagined that the Liaodong Army, which had reached the point of life and death, would still have the strength and strength to attack its own artillery wing and baggage wing.

Besides, the artillery wing and the baggage wing, plus the guard units left behind, there were more than 3,000 people. Even if it is attacked by a small force of the Liaodong Army, it can be easily defeated.

When the devil's artillery attack on the fourth regiment was still continuing, Yang Xingguo, who had been paying attention to every move on the battlefield, was not idle.

As soon as the devil moved, hundreds of special combat members of the special operations detachment who were scattered by Yang Xingguo wore the news back.

When Yang Xingguo heard that there was less than one infantry brigade around the Devil Artillery Wing and the Baggage Wing, Yang Xingguo's solemn face finally showed a long-lost smile.

Facing Sun Liechen, he said confidently and arrogantly: "The opportunity that belongs to us has finally come......

"Pass my order, the cavalry regiment, the seventh regiment, immediately lurk in the predetermined interspersed position, and after receiving the order, immediately intersperse an assault on the combined part of the devil infantry and artillery, and separate the devil infantry and their artillery......"

"Field artillery regiment, be ready to provide artillery support to the interspersed troops at any time......

"After interspersed with troops' attacks, the 1st Division attacked from the east, the 2nd Division from the north, and the 3rd Division from the west......"

"Cavalry regiment, after covering the seventh regiment is interspersed in place, don't stop, immediately assault the devil's artillery position, and don't give the devil a chance to fire ......" (to be continued.) )
