readx; readx; Thousands of Japanese troops rushed forward with a completely lifeless posture. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Lai Novel.2

The hundreds of mortar gunners who have been targeted by the devils and have begun to fight back can be regarded as fighting.

Despite the shells falling from the sky constantly smashing around them and exploding, they crouched in the crater did not react at all, and continued to reload and fire shells from the mortars around them.

Every shell smashed down can set off a rain of blood among the devil's attacking troops.

"Chief of Staff, hasn't the Third Regiment rushed up yet?" Seeing that there were nearly 2,000 Japanese troops on the battlefield who rushed through the artillery fire interception and were holding their rifles to make a final attack on the position, Xiao Bing, who was both nervous and worried, asked with a frown.

"The strikers have rushed up, and the main force is still in the traffic trenches." The chief of staff replied with a gloomy face.

"The devil must have seen our reinforcements, and all the mortar shells were beckoning to the third regiment. If it weren't for the communication trenches, the three regiments would have been destroyed by the shelling of the devils alone. ”

Xiao Bing's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said with a gloomy face: "Not only the three regiments, but after this battle, our entire tenth division will be disabled." ”

Speaking of this, a touch of firmness immediately appeared on Xiao Bing's face, and he continued: "No matter, as long as you can block the devil for two hours, you will be disabled." The devils who died in our hands must now have more than 8,000 people, and judging from the proportion of casualties, we have earned and not lost. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Bing raised his binoculars and stared at the battlefield, and he was also silently thinking in his heart that the three regiments were faster.

Fortunately for Xiao Bing, although the 122 regiments suffered heavy losses in the artillery fire just now, more than 1,000 people still returned to their positions alive. What's more, light and heavy machine guns, which barely wielded on the battlefield, had almost no losses.

Although the artillery shells fired by the Japanese were dense and accurate, in order to block the Japanese attacking troops with more than 2,000 troops, the two regiment commanders also fought hard and ordered the troops to counterattack under artillery fire. dudu1;

After more than a hundred light and heavy machine guns were fired, the devils, who had no intention of dodging at all, were swept down in pieces.

At this time, the first to react was the grenadier of the devil's attack with the team.

Nearly 100 grenadiers were immediately erected behind the attacking troops, and they opened fire on the exposed firepower of the Liaodong Army.

Although the Japanese had been in contact with mortars and grenadiers for less than two months, they were not yet proficient in them. But the advantage is that there are many of them, and after a round of grenades, the blind cat can hit seven or eight light and heavy machine guns.

Fortunately, this is not the first time that the 10th Division has fought against the devils, and most of the people who have mastered light and heavy machine guns are veterans. Seeing that the devil's artillery fire was so sharp, except for the heavy machine guns that were inconvenient to transfer, the light machine guns accounted for the majority of the numbers, and the machine gun positions were quickly shifted every time a shuttle bullet was fired.

But even so, the light and heavy machine guns exposed by the 10th Division were constantly destroyed.

The Liaodong Army guarding the position was very lucky, when more than 100 light and heavy machine guns were almost destroyed, more than 2,000 devils were also killed, and there were more than 1,000 people.

There are also three regiments, most of which have rushed through the devil's artillery fire to intercept them.

More than 2,000 fresh troops were all crouched in trenches full of gaps, grenades in one hand and rifles in the other, ready to deliver a deadly attack on the remnants of the devils.

"Throw a grenade, prepare to fight the devil with a bayonet." As soon as the mortar, which the devil provided fire cover, stopped, the battalion company commander, who was holding the pistol, ordered loudly.

Nearly three thousand grenades emitting white smoke flew out of the position and smashed towards the devils like rain. dudu2;

The Japanese army was not a vegetarian either, and while the grenade had not exploded, they also threw out the grenade that they had held in their hands for a long time.

There is no doubt that the devils who were ravaged by nearly 3,000 grenades were devastated, and the devils who were able to break out of the smoke in the end were less than 300 people.

More than two hundred devils seem to be a lot, but after they are scattered to the defense line that stretches for one or two kilometers, they are a little few, and they are scattered thirty or forty meters in front of the formation.

And the Liaodong Army squatting in the trenches was much luckier, unless the grenade smashed directly into the trench and exploded, it would not be able to hurt the Liaodong Army hiding in the trench at all.

Therefore, with the addition of the three regiments that had just been reinforced, the more than 3,000 Liaodong Army still had 3,000 people who could continue to fight at this time.

In the face of the scattered devils in front of the battle, more than 3,000 Liaodong troops shot the devils completely with just one round of bullets.

"Immediately enter the anti-artillery hole, the little devil's retaliatory shelling is coming." As soon as the devil was eliminated, the battalion and company commander on the position ordered loudly.

The veterans and officers hurried to the anti-artillery hole with the recruits who were still stunned.

The screeching of cannonballs across the sky reached everyone's ears.

"Hidden!" The veteran's face changed, and he quickly lay down in the trench.

As soon as he lay down, a violent explosion sounded in his ears, deafening. As soon as the barrage of explosions stopped, the veteran, whose ears were still ringing, immediately got up from the trench and continued to run in the direction of the anti-artillery hole. dudu3;

At the underground headquarters behind the position, Xiao Bing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and asked the chief of staff: "How long do you have to complete the task!" ”

"It's only been an hour!" The chief of staff replied with a frown.

Then he continued to Xiao Bing: "Division commander, I have a bad premonition. After this battle, our ten divisions will definitely be crippled! ”

"Now it's crippled!" Xiao Bing replied with a gloomy face.

"However, the order given to us by the commander is clear, hold this place for two hours at all costs. So, we can only continue to persevere. Now I just hope that the shelling of the devils will be a little longer, and the longer they shell, the more pressure will be on our defense. ”

The face of the commander-in-chief of the Manchurian Army, Da Shanyan, was also very unsightly, and an attack full of confidence failed under the desperate resistance of the Liaodong Army.

More importantly, the attack just now was an attack order given by oneself to go his own way. Moreover, before the attack, nearly 1,000 soldiers died on the battlefield because of their own orders.

This series of reasons directly caused more than a dozen subordinates in the command to look at him with suspicion now.

"Baga, why is it that every time it comes to the most critical moment, the Liaodong Army can turn the danger into a disaster, why?" Da Shanyan clenched his fists, with a face full of unwillingness and grievance, and scolded loudly.

In the midst of the cursing, more than a dozen subordinates all lowered their heads and said nothing. Besides, they had no choice but to say no, after all, the battle that had just been defeated was personally commanded by Da Shanyan, and they couldn't put the responsibility for the defeat on Da Shanyan!

If his subordinates didn't speak, the anger on Dashanyan's face became even stronger!

However, in the face of the silent subordinates, Da Shanyan, who was holding back his anger, couldn't say a word!

Under such circumstances, the chief of staff could only stand up and say: "Commander-in-chief, although we have suffered heavy losses, I believe that the losses of the Liaodong Army will not be small, as long as we continue to attack, we will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Liaodong Army and enter Liaodong." (To be continued.) )
