Of course, the more than 400 devils who did not enter the shelling area are not vegetarians. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the gunfire on the positions of the Liaodong Army rang out, they began to counterattack with experience and the direction from which the gunfire came.

At the same time, under the cover of gunsmoke, these more than 400 devil soldiers quickly rushed to the position of the Liaodong Army, preparing to kill the mountainside in the shortest possible time.

The headquarters of the Liaodong Army saw that the officers and men of the Fifth Regiment were constantly hit by bullets fired by devils and fell in the trenches.

The remaining 400 people of the devils were under the cover of gunsmoke, and few casualties continued to approach the position of the Fifth Regiment.

When it was about to rush through the shelling area.

Although Yang Xingguo's face was full of helplessness, he still ordered very firmly: "Seven or eight artillery positions, old rules, start shelling, smash the devil's attack on us......"

Two mountain artillery companies plus a fifth regiment with almost no too many losses easily repelled a new round of attacks by the devils.

There are more than 800 devil soldiers, and those who finally returned alive will not even arrive next time.

Of course, the losses of the Liaodong Army were also heavy.

Five mountain artillery companies and 30 mountain artillery pieces, and in the end, only one company of six mountain artillery guns successfully escaped the devil's retaliatory artillery attack.

As for the Fifth Regiment, there were more than 480 people killed in battle and seriously wounded.

For Yang Xingguo, the price paid was heavy, but the whole effort was worth it.

After all, the devils had once again fallen more than 700 people in front of the position.

However, for the commander of the Devil Division, this result is something he can't accept no matter what.

An attack that had been painstakingly prepared not only failed, but also lost another brigade......

So, as soon as the battle ended, the commander of the Devil Division began to curse at the position of the Liaodong Army.

However, the problem still needs to be solved.

Soon, the chief of staff of the division and regiment asked the question, and after scolding him, the division commander who was in a much better mood asked.

"The Liaodong Army is too cunning. He didn't even shoot. The commander of the division, the attack just now, if the defenders of the Liaodong Army had opened fire at the beginning. With the combat effectiveness of the defenders of the Liaodong Army, they would have suffered heavy losses before their artillery raid began. We don't have the strength to continue to hold back our follow-up attacking troops......"

"Your Excellency the division commander, how will we fight next, please make it clear......"

The head of the Devil Division replied after a pair of eyes quickly shot out two sharp rays: "There was no good way to do it...... However, your words reminded me ......"

"Since the combat effectiveness of the defenders of the Liaodong Army is not very good, and their artillery raid cannot last too long. Then we will slowly get through the ...... with the Liaodong Army."

"The Liaodong Army has limited strength and equipment. It won't be long before we'll be able to dry up their limited strength. At that time, there may not be a need for a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army, and here, we can wipe out the main force of the Liaodong Army. ”

Speaking of this, the commander of the devil division actually showed a trace of remorse on his face, and said to the chief of staff.

"I'm too anxious, from the moment I entered Liaozhong, I was bent on becoming the commander of the Liaodong Army. Thus ignoring a lot of things...... If we had done this from the very beginning of the first attack, the losses of the soldiers might not have been so great......"

The chief of staff replied thoughtfully: "Division commander, I seem to understand ......"

"Please give an order immediately, Your Excellency the division commander, this time, we must defeat the Liaodong Army and destroy them......"

"Yo West...... Not only to destroy them, but also to eliminate them at the lowest cost......" The commander of the Devil Division affirmed without thinking about it.

Then, in a serious tone, he ordered: "Chief of Staff, from now on, the troops will attack squadron by squadron...... In order to alleviate the casualties of the Liaodong Army's artillery raid on our attacking troops. The formation of the attacking forces must be as spread out as possible......"

Soon, a new round of attack by the little devils began.

Under the cover of heavy machine guns, a squadron of devils quickly broke away from the offensive position and attacked the position of the Liaodong Army on the mountainside.

The devils who launched the attack although there was only one squadron. But this squadron discharged an offensive formation that was wider and longer than just three or four squadrons.

When the dozens of devils who rushed to the front had already rushed to the front of the formation, the devils who fell at the end were still more than 200 meters away from the mountainside position.

Faced with this new situation, Yang Xingguo's brows furrowed again, and the wrinkles were deeper than the previous times.

With his brows furrowed, he only pondered for a short time before saying to Sun Liechen beside him: "The devil is becoming more and more cunning...... They intend to use their superiority in forces and firepower. A massive drain of our forces and firepower......"

Yang Xingguo reminded him, and Sun Liechen also reacted.

frowned, and asked Yang Xingguo: "Commander, the devil is too cunning...... Although the attacking force has only one squadron, their formation is too scattered, and once the artillery fire passes, not only will it not have much effect, but the artillery positions will also be attacked by retaliatory artillery fire from the devils......"

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied, "It won't work if you don't fire...... If the veteran regiment is holding the position, it may be able to block the devil's attack. However, our two remaining veteran regiments could not move at all. ”

"With the combat effectiveness of the newly formed regiment, it will not be able to stop the attack of the devils at all."

As he spoke, the position of the Liaodong Army on the mountainside had already sounded like gunshots.

Four or five light machine guns and more than 1,000 rifles fired together, and more than a dozen or twenty devils directly fell forward to the ground and turned into corpses.

However, the good fortune of the fifth regiment was about to come to an end as soon as it began.

On the battlefield, as soon as the devils who were lucky enough to avoid the first round of bullet rain reacted, it was difficult for the bullets fired by the five regiments to hit them again.

After all, the devil's offensive formation is very sparse, and he is constantly making dazzling evasive moves.

What's more, with their experienced tactical movements, some devils actually continued to attack forward while changing shots at the fifth regiment with short guns.

Compared with the fact that more than seventy percent of the recruits of the Fifth Regiment used rusty marksmanship to hit moving targets.

It is obviously much easier for the devil to use his skilled and accurate marksmanship to hit a fixed target lying in the trench and exposing half of his body.

Soon, casualties began to appear in the 5th regiment.

As the devils got closer and closer to the mountainside position, the casualties of the Fifth Regiment became larger and larger.

The casualties of the devil's attacking troops were very few.

There were more than 100 devils in a squadron, and after all of them rushed into the shelling area, there were still seventy or eighty devils left......

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Sun Liechen couldn't help but remind.

"Commander. We must use artillery, and if we don't use artillery, there will be at least fifty or sixty devils who can rush into our position......"

"Most of the five regiments are recruits, and there are fifty or sixty assassination masters of the devils, even if they can't defeat the five regiments, they can still stir up the five regiments and lose their combat effectiveness. If you don't do it well, it is possible to collapse directly on the battlefield. ”

At this time, Yang Xingguoxin also mentioned his throat, and his hands were also clenched into fists because of nervousness.

As soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, Yang Xingguo couldn't help but scold: "**** little devil, this is stuck in our lifeline......"

"****, Lao Tzu is no longer alive, order the artillery, immediately open the artillery ......" (to be continued.) )
