This time the Japanese did not continue to hold the line. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before the attacking troops could exchange fire with them, they voluntarily abandoned their defensive lines and moved forward

Shantou retreated.

Without saying a word, the attacking troops of one battalion immediately pursued them.

After shrinking the defensive line, the Japanese army's dwindling forces and firepower became abundant again.

A battalion of attacking troops, no doubt, once again stopped in front of the positions behind the shrinking Japanese lines.

"It seems that the Japanese army is not much stronger! The field artillery regiment continues to open fire, immediately end the battle and evacuate here! Huang Zhongxin, the third head of the regiment, ordered loudly with a little excitement.

As soon as the order was given, the screeching of shells across the sky was left overhead.

Huang Zhongxin was just about to say when the field artillery regiment had such a fast reaction speed, when three violent shell explosions sounded in the field artillery regiment's position behind.

Before Huang Zhongxin could understand, Xu Hai's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "It's not good, the Japanese reinforcements are coming, they have brought artillery, and our field artillery regiment is in danger!" ”

Fortunately for Xu Hai, as soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zhongxin next to him gave himself a comfort.

"Don't worry, the positions of the field artillery regiment are arranged in strict accordance with the regulations, and the artillery positions are arranged in battalion units."

"So, now that at most one battalion is being attacked, saving two battalions will definitely strike back soon! As soon as the Japanese army came up, they wanted to eat our field artillery regiment, it was not so easy! ”

At this time, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon rushed over out of breath and reported: "Regiment commander, Japanese reinforcements are coming, and at least one wing of Japanese troops is quickly rushing towards us, less than two miles away from us!" ”

Huang Zhongxin's brows furrowed, and he said with a look of incomprehension: "What does the Japanese army want to do?" Another infantry wing, are they planning a decisive battle with us? ”

After Xu Hai thought about it, he said with a solemn face: "I don't know if it's a decisive battle, but if you want to annihilate us all here, it must be true!" Otherwise, the Japanese army would not have transferred so many troops at one time. ”

"They have a really big appetite, and they're not afraid of knocking their teeth!" Huang Zhongxin said with a gloomy face.

After finishing, he immediately asked Xu Hai: "Old Xu, what do you think we should do, whether to fight or withdraw!" ”

Xu Hai shook his head and replied: "We can't withdraw anymore, the Japanese army has already rushed in front of us, how to withdraw." I'm sure that as soon as we retreat, the Japanese will follow and kill us. ”

"There are nearly ten kilometers from here to Liaoyang, and after being chased and killed by the Japanese army for ten kilometers, how many people can we save!"

"There are also the field artillery regiment and mountain artillery battalion you brought with you, Commander Huang, no matter how fast you retreat, you can't chase the Japanese army. As soon as we decide to retreat, it means that we have to abandon the field artillery regiment and the mountain artillery battalion! ”

Huang Zhongxin was suddenly stunned, and quickly vetoed: "No, no matter what, the artillery can't all fold here." Otherwise, we won't even have the strength to fight back in the next battle. ”

After some painful hesitation, Huang Zhongxin decisively decided: "If you can't withdraw, then fight!" ”

"Commander Xu, the enemy has a large number of troops, and although your second regiment has suffered a lot of losses, it can't be idle! My idea is that the hundreds of Japanese troops trapped on the hill will be handed over to you to clean up, and I will give you the mountain artillery battalion of the third regiment to end the battle as soon as possible. ”

"Japanese reinforcements, I'll take the three regiments to clean up!"

Xu Hai nodded and added, "No problem, but I have to add one more point." Send scouts to expand the scope of reconnaissance and determine if there are any other reinforcements for the Japanese army! If there is, we must quickly report to the division commander for help! ”

"Then it's decided!"

Xu Hai had less than two hundred remnants in his hands, plus a few hundred people brought by the chief of staff. Less than a thousand soldiers, the three regiments were quickly replaced from their positions.

Huang Zhongxin led three regiments of nearly 2,000 elites to fight against the Japanese attacking troops.

As for the field artillery regiments, the field artillery battalions, which were attacked at the beginning, quickly abandoned the artillery and withdrew from their positions from the moment the first round of shells hit the positions and exploded.

Of course, these artillerymen, who abandoned field artillery, were not idle.

The Japanese field artillery brigade, which was blown up by the mountain artillery battalion of the second regiment, had more than a dozen field artillery pieces because they were too heavy, and the Japanese army had no time to take them away when they retreated to the mountain, and all of them were captured by the Liaodong Army along with the artillery shells.

Now, these gunners, who had just given up their artillery, were quickly rushing into this artillery position, which was full of craters and Japanese corpses, adjusting their artillery and preparing for a counterattack against the Japanese army.

At this time, after a minute of preparation, the two battalions of the field artillery regiment had already aimed all their guns at the artillery positions that had just been exposed by the Japanese army.

Almost at the same time, the same order was given by the commanders of two field artillery battalions.

"Load up the high-explosive shells and fire now!"

"Boom!" As the roar of artillery fire sounded in the two artillery positions, more than 30 shells with a screaming sound quickly flew out of the gun chambers, flew into the sky, and smashed into the Japanese artillery positions.

Because many of the gunners of the field artillery regiment were former prisoners of the Russian army, they were no worse than the Japanese gunners in terms of strength.

Therefore, when a round of shells passed, it directly hit an eighty percent hit rate.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese field artillery wing immediately began to counterattack!

The artillery shells of both sides come and go, and they both want to fire one more round of shells at the other side in the same time, causing some more casualties on the opponent.

When the artillery battle was in full swing, the three regiments led by Huang Zhongxin and the Japanese reinforcements finally collided together.

After a dense exchange of fire, the three regiments and the Japanese soldiers each dropped hundreds of corpses, retreated one or two hundred meters each, and then began to confront each other.

Whether it was Huang Zhongxin of the Third Regiment or the division commander led by the Japanese army, they all saw the strong strength of the opponent from the firefight just now.

In this way, if you don't have artillery support, you can only attack the opponent with infantry. Even if you have the confidence to destroy the other party, you will lose a lot of money, and even lose your combat effectiveness.

So, as if they had been discussed, the two men ordered the troops to retreat at the same time.

They were all waiting for the results of the shells on both sides before deciding whether to attack the opponent immediately.

The calm here did not affect the Japanese army Xu Hai who attacked the mountain.

In Xu Hai's view, the death of more than 1,000 soldiers under his command has something to do with the Japanese army on the mountain.

Therefore, Xu Hai swore that he must destroy these Japanese troops. Only in this way can he be worthy of those brothers who died in battle.

As soon as the mountain artillery battalion was in place, Xu Hai ordered the mountain artillery battalion to open fire immediately.

Until he attacked Xu Hai, who was very unfavorable to him, as soon as the artillery bombardment began, he ordered the attacking troops of two companies to form a scattered line and slowly advance towards the mountain.

Less than 100 meters away from the mountain, and after entering the range of accidental damage from the shell, Xu Haicai ordered the mountain artillery battalion to stop the shelling.

Before the Japanese army could react, hundreds of Liaodong troops immediately jumped up from the ground and began to charge.

The Japanese army's reaction was also very fast, and the Liaodong Army had just rushed forward less than ten meters before gunfire rang out on the hill.

The dense bullets immediately turned the dozens of officers and men of the Liaodong Army who rushed to the front into a hornet's nest, and they fell on the charging road without saying a word. (To be continued.) )
