At a distance of 300 meters, more than 30 heavy machine guns provided fire cover by the Japanese army were quickly erected on the slopes on both sides of the official road, condescending to provide fire cover for the attacking troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the guns of the Japanese to provide fire cover rang out, the Japanese armed with light machine guns attacked first.

More than 100 light and heavy guns were fired together, and an impenetrable barrage was immediately formed in the defenders' positions.

Seeing that several recruits who were caught off guard were shot to the ground by bullets, Wang Hu's brows furrowed, and he decisively ordered: "Light and heavy machine guns, immediately counterattack and suppress the Japanese firepower." Riflemen, intercept the Japanese attacking troops......"

"Find a way to contact the artillery who are following behind, and immediately open fire on the Japanese heavy machine gun positions to relieve our pressure.

Bullets on both sides come and go, because the Japanese have an advantage in the number of light and heavy machine guns, and they are all veterans. All of a sudden, more than 1,000 Japanese attacking troops actually pressed the Liaodong Army and continued to advance.

"Increase the output of firepower, shoot all the weapons that can be fired, and never allow the Japanese army to successfully break through......" Wang Hu, who personally handled a rifle for a soldier who died in battle, ordered loudly while firing.

However, when the firepower is insufficient, especially when the heavy firepower is insufficient for the opponent.

No matter how desperately Wang Hu tried, he couldn't stop the Japanese attack, and the troops on the defensive line suffered heavy losses. Especially the light and heavy machine gunners, almost a stubble. And a brigade of Japanese troops, with the loss of three or four hundred men, still advanced a few tens of meters.

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese army attacked less than a hundred meters in front of the formation, and they had no way to suppress and block them.

Wang Hu also began to get anxious at this time, and his eyes slowly turned red.

And at this moment, Wang Hu's long-lost cannon finally sounded on the battlefield.

The dozens of mountain artillery pieces that came out of Liaoyang City, because of the urgency of time, were still on the road when they received the order, and there was no way to fire the cannons.

But Zhang Shanlin, who took the two artillery wings of the Japanese army, was not a vegetarian.

At a glance through the binoculars, it was clear that Wang Hu, who did not have the support of the artillery of the special operations detachment, could not stop the Japanese army from attacking with all its might.

As a result, the Japanese gunners who were captured by the special operations detachment once again started to fight in the same room.

The powerful heavy artillery wing opened fire on the Japanese heavy machine gun position a few hundred meters away from Wang Hu.

The less powerful field artillery opened fire on the Japanese attacking troops.

There was no test firing, nearly 100 artillery pieces, and nearly 100 shells were fired directly at the Japanese troops in two places.

The hit rate of this was low, with only a dozen shells hitting the target in the front and back. However, the sudden violent explosion brought unparalleled shock and fear to the Japanese army.

Seeing that several heavy machine guns around him were blown up by shells, dozens of heavy machine gunners were annihilated by artillery fire, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

A nameless sense of fear quickly swelled up in the hearts of these Japanese soldiers.

Although he did not receive the order to retreat, the heavy machine gun in his hand continued to roar. However, the gunner, who had already developed a sense of fear in his heart, could no longer shoot at the target in a calm mood.

As a result, the Japanese heavy machine gun suppressive fire became messy.

There were still five or six hundred attacking troops, and after seven or eight shells exploded in the attacking formation, dozens of Japanese troops were immediately blown to the ground, and several Japanese soldiers were directly torn to pieces by the shells.

In the face of such a tragic picture, many Japanese soldiers were shocked in their hearts, afraid that the next round of shells would fall on their heads and tear themselves into shredded flesh.

As a result, the Japanese offensive formation became a bit chaotic.

The formation was chaotic, and the bullets fired by dozens of light machine guns began to be chaotic.

Compared with the Japanese army, Wang Hu and thousands of his subordinates were also taken aback by the sudden artillery bombardment.

However, after the shock, what they produced was not panic, but excitement, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.

In just a few seconds, just a few seconds after the shell exploded, the form of the battlefield changed.

Wang Hu's subordinates, who had been pressed and beaten, became more and more courageous, at least in terms of firepower, there were already signs of suppressing the Japanese army.

After Wang Hu breathed a sigh of relief, he shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers, artillery support is coming. Beat me hard and kill these Japanese soldiers. “

Soon, the second round of artillery cover of almost a hundred guns came.

After this round of artillery fire was covered, Wang Hu's headquarters was able to completely suppress the Japanese army.

The Japanese army, which had lost more than half of its losses, could not push forward further at this time.

Wang Hu's subordinates, who became more and more brave in the war, immediately shot bullets full of revenge at them.

Five minutes later, the Japanese troops in this brigade successfully completed the task given to them by the division commander: even if the whole army was killed in battle, they could not take a step back.

"It's over......" This was the first sentence that the commander of the Japanese division said after the battle.

The chief of staff next to him, who was stunned, also turned pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

In the end, it was the chief of staff who broke the heavy atmosphere around the two: "The division commander, we have lost all the heavy machine guns and more than eighty percent of the light machine guns, and with this strength, even if the whole army is killed in battle, it will not be able to break through." ”

"There are two paths before us now."

"With the current strength of the army, we will hold this place, but with the ammunition reserves we have on hand and without artillery support, we will run out of ammunition and food in one day at most, and the whole army will be annihilated......"

"There is another way to surrender, surrender to the Liaodong Army, and save the lives of the remaining thousands of soldiers!"

"How to decide, please ask the division commander to hurry up and make an idea, the Liaodong Army, which has the advantage in all aspects, will not give us much time."

The division commander asked with an unwilling face: "Is there no third article?" ”

Seeing the chief of staff shaking his head with a heavy expression in denial, the division commander could only close his eyes in pain and fall into deep thought.

A minute later, the division commander said in his own hoarse voice: "We all underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, and then it led to defeat." Therefore, the responsibility for the defeat should not be borne by ordinary soldiers......"

"Chief of Staff, I order you to surrender to the Liaodong Army with the remaining officers and men of the division."

"What about you, the division commander?" The chief of staff subconsciously asked.

"I go where I need to go, as the commander of the division, even if I surrender, I will inevitably be sent to a military court and shot in humiliation when I return home. Rather than this, it is better to die like a warrior on the battlefield. This at least preserves my military dignity......"

Seeing what else the chief of staff seems to be ready to say? The division commander directly interrupted: "It's so decided, the whole division has lost so many soldiers, and someone must bear the responsibility for the defeat." As soon as I die, you will be safe. Even if you return to the army in the future, you will not be punished in any way, which is the best outcome. (To be continued.) )
