Looking at the retreating positions, I finally remembered the long-awaited sound of artillery. The people who stayed in the core camp saw Xiusan, but they were a little surprised that the Eighth Route Army's attack tonight seemed to be a little different from last night, and they did not launch an artillery bombardment on the core camp.

Is it that the Eighth Route Army has already exhausted the captured heavy shells, or is there some conspiracy? Or, like last night, after killing and wounding a large number of their living forces, they ended the attack early?

If He Zhengdao can hear the voice of Xiusan at this moment, he will definitely feel that the little devils are cheap, and he will feel unhappy if he doesn't blow them up. Actually, there are quite a few heavy shells, but those shells really need to be spared!

If there are no shells in the artillery, it is also an ornament. This kind of heavy howitzer and cannon, at least in He Zhengdao's opinion, even military factories can't imitate it in a short period of time. It's nice to be able to replicate a cannonball.

Therefore, these heavy guns really need to be spared. In the previous town, some of the captured heavy artillery had been destroyed by the little devils, which made He Zhengdao also distressed. Even if you scold, these little devils are helping losers.

Just as the little devil hurriedly followed up the built anti-artillery tunnel, Zhu Definition looked at the time and said: "Each artillery position is ready and the artillery fire is extended." Remember, when the artillery extension is over, return the gun angle to its original position. ”

'Yes, Brigadier! ’

The Japanese troops, who had also set up observation posts on their positions, watched as the artillery began to extend to the rear of their positions, and the Eighth Route Army and tank armored vehicles on the offensive positions also began to slowly advance to their front lines, and immediately blew the whistle to order the troops to come out.

'Hurry! The Eighth Route Army came up and hurriedly entered the position to prepare for the battle! ’

It's just that what these little devils didn't expect was that when they rushed out of the anti-artillery tunnel, intending to start blocking the attack of the Eighth Route Army. The two artillery regiments, which had readjusted their gun positions to the previous angles, again began shelling.

Looking at the sound of shelling in the distance, the commander of many little devils said in disbelief: "Na! The Eighth Road has started shelling again? Aren't they afraid of accidentally injuring their own attacking troops? ”

As a result, when I looked up, the attacking Eighth Route Army was either hiding behind tanks and armored vehicles, or just lying down on the spot and stopping its advance. As for their blocking positions, they were once again shrouded in heavy artillery fire.

There had been an artillery bombardment before, and this time the artillery regiment adjusted the angle of the shelling, which was undoubtedly able to hit the target more accurately. Feeling the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army for a short time, the little devil was also a little unable to bear it on the position.

Jun Cao, who had a little devil, immediately said: "Retreat, hurry up and retreat to the anti-artillery tunnel!" The Eighth Route Army has stopped attacking! ”

A group of little devils who had just come out could only grit their teeth and run back into the anti-artillery tunnel again. And this time, the shelling was also not long. It didn't take long for the little devils in the observation post to see that the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army began to extend to the rear.

Under the whistle of 'doodoo', the little devil hiding in the pit came out again. And the Eighth Route Army, which had not moved in place before, once again slowly advanced towards their blocking position. There were even tanks, which fired two guns from time to time.

Just when the Japanese army thought that this time the Eighth Route Army was going to move seriously. The artillery fire, which had only stopped for a few minutes, came back to their blocking position. Faced with such a situation, the little devils in the blocking position also vomited blood.

On the other hand, the attacking Eighth Route Army smiled and said: "This trick is good!" Slipping these little devils like a walking dog, they don't know whether to continue to hide in the tunnel, or come out to defend as usual. Walk, take a few more steps! ”

I had been informed that the attack speed should not be too high, at least within three hundred meters of the little devil's blocking position. In this case, even if some shells hit the forward positions of the little devils, there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring the attacking Eighth Route Army.

As for the little devils on the blocking position, they were killed and injured by this kind of shelling that went against common sense, and many little devils who ran back and forth were killed. After all, the power of mountain shells and field shells should not be underestimated!

After tossing back and forth three or four times, the tanks and armored vehicles have successfully advanced to 300 meters in front of the little devils. With the help of the opportunity of the artillery fire to extend again, the assault finally began to accelerate. And the little devils on the battlefield are still a little confused.

'Quick! They all hurried to their positions, and the Eighth Route Army really began to attack! ’

The little devil who came out of the hole again soon saw the tanks and armored vehicles that began to assault. At such a close distance, the large-caliber machine gun equipped with the armored vehicle is undoubtedly the most feared weapon of the little devils.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army, which cooperated with tanks and armored vehicles to advance, also hid behind these steel monsters, constantly shooting and killing the little devils who could be seen on the position. This kind of close-range attack made many of the little devils on the position dare not raise their heads.

Taking into account the fact that the little devils dug anti-tank trenches in front of the position, covering their infantry, they also guided the vehicles in a timely manner. For this tacit infantry-tank coordinated advancement tactic, the little devils on the position are also powerless.

It was at this time that the little devil heard the sound of artillery firing from the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army again. The little devil who was blocking the attack of the Eighth Route Army said reflexively: "Shelling! Be careful to dodge! ”

As a result, the shells pierced the night sky, but did not fall on their positions as they had done the previous times. Instead, they fell directly behind their positions, and they had always wondered why the Eighth Route Army did not shell the core camp.

At this time, it was learned that the troops blocking the position had suffered heavy losses after several shellings, and Higami Shuzo was preparing to mobilize troops for reinforcements. But before they could start reinforcements, the overwhelming artillery fire came again.

'Yaga! These shells are coming at us, quick! Hide in place and dodge! ’

When the commander of the Japanese wing saw that the shells were not flying to the forward positions, but to the areas where they were assembled, he immediately gritted his teeth and roared. For them, it is really not much to have such an experience of being beaten but not fighting back.

But the problem is that when they broke out of the town, they couldn't carry artillery like 75 mountain guns and field guns. Only mortars that could pass through people, they brought some out when they arrived.

Compared with the mountain artillery and field artillery of the Eighth Route Army, these mortars are far inferior in range and power. Not to mention, the Eighth Route Army still has heavy artillery useless. This kind of weakness in equipment made the little devils also realize the helplessness when they fought the Central Army in the past.

After all, as a morale person, your troops can gain an advantage in artillery suppression. Only in this way, whether it is offensive or defensive, it will be much easier. At this moment, the Eighth Route Army undoubtedly gained the right to suppress artillery fire.

In fact, this artillery tactic was also proposed by He Zhengdao and Zhu Jie. This kind of artillery tactics that go against common sense are actually common in warfare. In fact, many troops of the little devils also often use this tactic when the offensive is unfavorable.

Now that the Eighth Route Army has an absolute advantage over the little devils in the artillery unit, it is natural to concoct the little devils well. The most important thing is that after such a series of shelling, it can also kill and injure a large number of the defenders of the little devils on the position.

Increasing the casualties of the little devils naturally reduced the pressure on the attacking troops. And now that the shelling of the rear of the little devil's position has begun, it is more hoped that with the help of this kind of shelling, the little devil's reinforcement of the forward position will be blocked.

Who told the little devils to reserve a safe area outside their core camp? At this moment, the two artillery regiments, plus the mountain artillery and field artillery battalions of the artillery brigade, are focusing on shelling these areas and blocking the reinforcements of the little devils.

Even if there are some shells, it will directly blow up a clearing. But such an artillery bombardment can also effectively deter the reinforcements of the little devils. After all, reinforcing the troops in front of them under artillery fire also had to pay a heavy price.

Looking at the reinforcements scurrying in the artillery fire, people saw that Xiusan was depressed even if he wanted to vomit blood, and when he opened his mouth, he could only say: "Eight Geya Road!" This gang of Eighth Route Army is too insidious! ”

Is it insidious? It seems like a little! But as an opponent, the Eighth Route Army can't be too insidious. As long as the final victory can be achieved and the casualties of the attacking troops can be effectively reduced, He Zhengdao is willing to do even the most insidious things.

The Japanese were still waiting for reinforcements in their blocking positions, as a tank managed to storm their trenches. The commandos of the reconnaissance brigade, who were following behind the tank, quickly jumped into the trenches of the little devils and opened fire.

After a gap was opened, the follow-up infantry commandos began to clear the little devils in the trenches along the trenches built by the little devils. In this case, the gap in the blocking position of the little devils is also constantly expanding.

When the attacking tanks and armored vehicles fully entered the blocking position of the little devils, the main infantry regiment that cooperated with the reconnaissance brigade and the armored regiment to attack also launched a purge of the little devils. Two troops, began to fight for the trenches.

In such a short period of time, the fortifications they had worked so hard to build had fallen. The little devils in the position could only choose to retreat helplessly. As for the little devils who were unwilling to retreat, they were also wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, which kept coming.

When the artillery regiment's shelling ended again, looking at the forward position that had fallen into hand-to-hand combat, the people watching the battle in the rear saw Xiusan, and could only reluctantly order the reinforcements to enter the fortifications of the core camp and stand by.

As for the tanks and armored vehicles that advanced near the fortifications, they were also in no hurry to attack. On the contrary, the arrival of armored regiments at the front is more of a deterrent to the little devils who are preparing reinforcements. The task of clearing the rear can be entrusted to the infantry regiment that has attacked the position.

In the face of the Eighth Route Army, which poured into the forward position like a tide, it was very clear to see Xiusan. He arranged the infantry in the three lines of defense, but he was afraid that no one would come back alive. This thunderous and rapid assault really made them powerless to resist.

The most helpless thing was that the Eighth Route Army had an advantage in artillery fire and numbers. There is no way to send reinforcements, and the fall of the third line of defense is naturally a reasonable thing. Next, the Eighth Route Army will assault their core camp.

Except for the wounded soldiers who were unable to participate in the battle, there were only a thousand troops available in the hands of Xiuzo at the moment. How long can this army resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army? It seems that it is not far from the total annihilation of the division and regiment! (To be continued.) )
