A day later, the devil's path was finally repaired. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a night's rest, more than 10,000 devils once again embarked on their own journey with high morale.

Half a day passed, and the entire attacking force was surprisingly never attacked again.

Faced with this situation, the head of the devil division can be said to be happier and happier.

Including the division commander, many devil officers think. The Liaodong Army, which is constantly sneaking up on itself, has already adjusted its own marching plan and can't take advantage of itself, so it directly gives up the despicable way you plan to use sneak attacks.

However, it backfired.

Just when more and more people of the devils think that they have come out of the ordeal and victory is getting closer and closer to them.

The troops, which were constantly advancing, actually stopped

Before the division commander could figure out what was going on, the heralds sent by the avant-garde brigade rushed over and reported.

"Sir, there is a blocking position of the Liaodong Army in front, our captain asks for instructions, whether to launch an attack......

"Blocking positions...... Could it be that the Liaodong Army intends to block us here and fight a decisive battle with us......" The division commander subconsciously said.

Then, with a serious face, he ordered: "Tell your captain, immediately launch a tentative attack on the Liaodong Army......"

"More than a dozen field guns of the first brigade of the field artillery wing, in ten minutes, will provide you with artillery support......

A big mountain more than a mile away from the devil's avant-garde brigade is the tomb that Yang Xingguo selected for the devil.

The mountain standing next to the official road is no more than 200 meters high.

According to the general mode of warfare, the Liaodong Army should build a blocking position on the top of the mountain. With the strength of this mountain, stop the devils.

However, Yang Xingguo is not like this.

In Yang Xingguo's opinion, with the heavy artillery in his hand, even if the devil blows up the top of this mountain, it is very easy.

Therefore, on the top of the mountain, no matter how strong the blocking position you build. will be destroyed in a short time.

So, Yang Xingguo set his position halfway up the mountain.

A trench reinforced with logs, plus dozens of anti-artillery holes inserted directly into the interior of the mountain from the trenches, this is the Liaodong Army in the next two days. Hold off the devils and prevent them from moving forward.

Behind the mountain, six newly formed mountain artillery companies, plus three mountain artillery battalions under the three main divisions. Fifteen mountain artillery batteries are being used as companies. Scattered artillery positions were built.

As for the black hole barrels of these mountain guns, without exception, they were all aimed at the slope that the devil attack troops had to pass through fifty to one hundred meters in front of the formation.

As for Yang Xingguo himself, he hid in the underground headquarters fifty meters behind the position, looking down on every move of the entire battlefield.

At this moment, guarding the position is the Second Regiment of the Liaodong Army, a new regiment with only more than 300 veterans.

Although every three recruits had a veteran watching, the entire new regiment was from the regiment commander Fan Changhu to the company platoon commander below. Everyone was worried, worried about the battle that was about to break out in front of them.

So, from the moment the 2nd Regiment entered the position, these officers began to patrol back and forth in the trenches, monitoring the morale and mood of the recruits in the unit at all times.

The regiment commander Fan Changhu held a pistol and ran along the trenches to meet between the companies to understand the situation.

The guards who were following closely behind him suddenly let out an exclamation.

"Commander...... The devil is coming......"

When Fan Changhu subconsciously looked at the foot of the mountain, a small team of devil soldiers was lining up in a very sparse line of skirmishers. With a rifle in hand, he attacked the mountainside where he was standing step by step.

Fan Changhu's face tightened, and he subconsciously said: "Don't worry, this is just a tentative attack by devils......"

"Pass my orders. One platoon on each company, and then shoot when you hear my gunshot...... All other troops are forbidden to shoot, revealing our strength......"

More than forty devil soldiers rushed to the slope in front of the second regiment in only five minutes.

Two hundred meters, Fan Changhu had no intention of shooting......

One hundred meters. More than 40 devil soldiers still have no intention of shooting......

Fifty meters, Fan Changhu, who was lying in the trench, could already clearly see the face of the devil. The Mauser pistol that Fan Changhu held in his hand finally rang out.

At the same time, more than 300 riflemen also pulled the trigger one after another, firing bullets in the chamber.

More than 300 riflemen, although more than 200 were recruits, were very nervous because they were participating in the battle for the first time, and did not know where to shoot the bullets.

However, the remaining nearly 100 veterans pulled the trigger of their rifles very calmly and fired deadly bullets at the devils.

More than 40 devil soldiers lost more than half of them in just one round of bullet rain.

Although the rest of the devil soldiers lay on the ground for the first time, they counterattacked with rifles.

However, the defenders were more than ten times stronger than they were.

More than a dozen rifles against a ghost soldier, even if the blind cat hits a dead mouse, the devil can be eliminated.

Therefore, the battle lasted less than a minute, and more than forty devil soldiers were all wiped out, and there was no chance to retreat.

Of course, the devil's counterattack before his death also caused a lot of casualties to more than 300 riflemen of the Second Regiment.

At least twenty recruits died under the counterattack of the devils.

However, Fan Changhu did not show any unhappy expression on his face. After all, these recruits are only dating and shooting. It's good to participate in a battle for the first time and be able to do it without collapsing on the battlefield.

Not only that, but the other recruits who participated in the battle and were not killed by the devils were all pale at this time. But, after all, they have already been on the battlefield. As soon as they react from the shock, they will transform into veterans in the battle step by step.

The tentative attack of the devils ended in failure, and more than forty devils died in front of the second regiment.

However, as the head of the regiment, Fan Changhu was not too happy.

Fan Changhu, who Yang Xingguo confessed before the war, kept echoing in his ears, and after only a short hesitation, he ordered: "Enter the anti-artillery hole immediately, the devil is going to shoot artillery......"

As soon as Fan Changhu's front foot rushed into the anti-artillery hole, the scream of the shell crossing the sky sounded over the battlefield, and the violent explosion also sounded in the position.

Fortunately for Fan Changhu, this was just a test shot of the devil.

Seeing that the shells did not fall directly on the trenches, Fan Changhu breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously shouted.

"Retreat, immediately retreat into the anti-artillery hole, the devil has ...... cannon"

"If you want to die, fast into the anti-artillery hole, what are you doing with it?"

Amid the shouts and curses of Fan Changhu and officers at all levels, the Second Regiment, which had more than 1,000 people, finally hid in the anti-artillery holes before the official shelling of the devils began.

This was followed by the screech of shells across the sky and the violent explosions that fell on the battlefield...... It's like a war symphony that begins to sound on the battlefield.

Maybe it was to take revenge on the Liaodong Army for destroying its own squad, or maybe it was to break through the Liaodong Army's defense line in one attack.

A brigade of 18 field guns shelled for 10 minutes and fired more than 500 shells at the positions of the Liaodong Army. The heavy artillery fire stopped.

And under the cover of shelling, the devil soldiers of the three squadrons have already touched the foot of the mountain.

Sixteen heavy machine guns of a heavy machine gun squadron were also erected by the devils, providing fire cover for the attacking troops at any time. (To be continued.) )
