The flag guards ran away with the flag of the wing, but no one noticed it, and everyone threw themselves into the battlefield to try to eliminate all the devils.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, on the corpses everywhere, the Fourth Regiment shouted loudly, because they had won, and the whole wing had been given an account of it.

All they had to do was clean the battlefield and take away the valuables, bury the bodies, and then leave this place, which was also sad for them, because many of their comrades were buried here.

The Fourth Regiment has eliminated this wing, and on the other side, the Third and Fifth Regiments are still besieging most of the infantry brigades belonging to the Sixth Division, under the attack of artillery fire, and many charges, now only half of the people are left, but just more than 1,000 people, but they can draw with the two regiments, compared with the Japanese army of the 13th Division, the Japanese army of the Sixth Division is more ruthless in battle, not only to the enemy, but also to themselves, as if they are not afraid of death.

The two regiments worked hard, and with the help of artillery, they were almost unorganized, and the combined number of the two regiments was less than two battalions, and they could only fight logistics in the next battle.

Most of the 6th Division was annihilated, and it was already dark, and the moon rose and shone on the earth, as if a white veil had been draped over the earth.

The moon was very round and bright tonight, which was very suitable for action, and the 7th, 8th, and 9th regiments detoured back to the flank of the Japanese army and surrounded the Japanese army, but the scope was somewhat wide, and the troops were relatively scattered.

That night, there was no movement on either side. However, the 13th Division and the 6th Division, which were far away in Wuhan, received a telegram and learned that the reinforcements they sent to Lu'an were surrounded by an unknown wave of armed forces after crossing the river, and it was suspected that the Fourth Army was the Fourth Army, but the other side's firepower was not one or two points stronger than that of the Fourth Army, and it was much, much stronger, there were many large-caliber artillery, rocket artillery, anti-tank artillery, etc., as soon as they received this telegram, they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly went to a meeting to make a plan.

After an hour's meeting, the battle plan was determined, the 6th and 13th divisions immediately supported the encircled team, and the 20th and 21st divisions that had arrived in Shanghai immediately moved westward, together with the 6th and 13th divisions, to encircle the mysterious team, and at the same time pinned down the enemy with the two infantry brigades in the encirclement, and waited for the reinforcements to surround the mysterious team, and then cooperate with the reinforcements to blossom in the enemy's internal center. Coupled with the logistics and transportation team, the number of people is nearly 100,000, and the Japanese army really attaches great importance to Lu Qiang, and it should be said that he attaches great importance to the weapons in his hands.

It was a quiet night last night, but both sides were very nervous, worried that the other side would attack the camp, so they didn't rest much. At dawn, the 6th and 13th Divisions in Wuhan were ready to go, while Lu Qiang's artillery positions were also ready to be "dispatched."

Six o'clock sharp!

"Let's go!" Two divisions set off.

"Fire!" On the howitzer position, it was suddenly like thousands of troops galloping, and 100 152mm cannons roared in unison, and the momentum was not ordinary. The first 100 shells were sent into the sky, the gunner took out the shells from the gun, another gunner stuffed the ammunition, this one loaded the propellant, closed the valve, pulled the gun rope again, the propellant exploded, and the ammunition was sent out.

"Woo~~" In the scream, the first shell landed, "Boom! The loud roar killed many Japanese soldiers who were still asleep, and also woke up the sleeping Japanese soldiers.

"Shelling, concealment." A second lieutenant shouted, in fact, there is no need for him to shout, such a big movement, if those Japanese soldiers didn't know, then all these years of war were in vain, one by one wrapped in clothes, and rushed out of the tent with guns.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The cannons are roaring, the earth is shaking, the flesh is flying, and the Japanese army is trembling...... Trembling can't be said, after all, there is only one person who is afraid, and the rest of the Japanese army has already entered the trenches, waiting for the enemy's attack. It's been a long time since we've played a defensive battle, and it's always been them who attack.

A shell with a warning whistling sound, and when the Japanese found that the shell had reached the top of their heads, it was too late to dodge, and the bulging shell had already fallen into the trench, and with a boom, several Japanese soldiers were suddenly torn into pieces of minced meat under the huge force of the explosion, and flew everywhere with the dust that was blown up.

"What about our artillery? Why not fight back? Are they all pigs? Ushijima, who had been hiding in the bomb shelter, roared angrily.

"Report to the general, the artillery of China is out of range of our artillery and cannot hit." The wing commander of the artillery wing said aggrievedly.

“…… Hum! Hearing this answer, Ushijima snorted dissatisfiedly, after all, you can't blame the artillery if you can't fight, you can only blame the artillery for not having enough range, and blame the domestic military industry for not designing the range of the artillery far enough.

"Bang dang!" A yellow cancan propellant shell was picked out of the magazine with a pole and thrown beside him, beside him, the shells were already piled up high, it looked like there were more than forty or fifty pieces, and the gunner who loaded the ammunition had his hands and necks trembling a little, after all, a projectile weighed forty or fifty kilograms, and the weight of the propellant was not small.

Each gun has 5 gunners, one person specializes in holding the gun rope and calibrating the gun, and the other four people do manual work, that is, loading projectiles and propellants, and they take turns to reload in groups of two, otherwise they will not be able to hold out at all.

After half an hour of shelling, four or five thousand shells were sent to the Japanese positions, and the Japanese positions were in shambles, and on the hills occupied by the Japanese troops, the main hill suffered the most artillery and casualties, and the other hills did not have many shells falling on them, and the total number of casualties was only a little more than 100.

The main hill was attacked by powerful artillery fire, and the defenders on the other sub-hills around the main hill were unknown, and a big question mark appeared in the bottom of my heart, why didn't the artillery hit them, but directly bombarded the main hill, it stands to reason that they should be shelled first, they are a line of defense here, how can they break in and out if they don't hit them first, hit the main mountain?

After waiting for half an hour, the attack that the Japanese army was waiting for did not appear, but waited for a batch of shells, this time the attack was on several sub-hills, the Japanese army occupied a total of 5 hills, among which in the middle, the best geographical location is the main mountain, their command post, senior commanders are on it, and the other hills were named 1, 2, 3, and 4 highlands by Lu Qiang according to the southeast and northwest, and an infantry wing was placed on each hill. This time, the target of the shells was Heights 1.

Another big / wave of artillery shells attacked, the No. 1 high ground in the east was instantly bombed beyond recognition, the simple bunker that had been built was greatly damaged, the original desolate hilltop, this time, even more desolate, the brown soil was turned out, there were craters everywhere, and shells kept falling, one crater was blown up, splashing 7 or 8 meters away, and there was still lethality dozens of meters away.

The No. 1 Heights were now churning like boiling water, and the Japanese troops on the adjacent No. 2 and No. 4 Heights could feel the power of the shell explosions on the No. 1 Heights, and the Wing Commander stationed there looked at the skyrocketing fire with a telescope, and the sky was full of gunsmoke, and the floating earth was 8 or 9 meters high.

The shelling ended after nearly half an hour, and the last shell landed on the high ground, blowing up a crater, and the shelling ended.

However, the number of Japanese troops who were stuck in the No. 1 position was less than 2,000 and more than 3,700 people who could pick up guns and continue fighting, and nearly half of them were reimbursed in half an hour, and this was not yet a direct contact.

Half an hour later, the shells over the No. 2 Heights arrived as scheduled, with the precedent of the No. 1 Heights, the Japanese troops on the No. 2 Heights learned the Tuba/Lu, and dug a lot of cat's ear holes, but they were not deep enough, there was nothing to support, and the number was not large, and the casualties were nearly 1,000, but they were much better than the No. 1 Heights.

Heights 3 and 4 were also subjected to shells in order, but with foresight, they dug a lot of anti-artillery holes, and the casualties were relatively small.

Early in the morning, the five heights of the Japanese army were blown aside, and then ...... There was no more, because the 152mm shells had bottomed out, and the tens of thousands of shells brought were all gone, and huge shells were piled up in the open space, waiting to be pulled back.

The beautiful early morning, all of them were destroyed by this shelling, of course, the destruction could only be the early morning of the Japanese army, but for the joint team on Lu Qiang's side, it was still beautiful, and it was very beautiful, sitting on the position, looking at the "artillery battle" opposite, drinking the paste cooked with compressed biscuits, eating greasy canned beef, talking and laughing, so comfortable, but the words were full of emotion, and finally they could sit and watch the little devils being bombarded, they were bombarded before, they were suffered, and now it is the turn of the little devils to suffer, They should attack.

On the main position of the Japanese army, the tent that originally served as the headquarters was gone, and in a hole that had just been dug, Ushijima and a group of high-level officials sat together, each with a rice ball, and originally wanted to eat a delicious meal, but the hope was so shattered, and he could only gnaw on the cold rice ball in his hand.

"Have you contacted the headquarters?" Ushijima, who was sitting on the head, took a bite of the frozen rice ball, and his tone of voice was cold.

"For the time being, we haven't connected yet, most of our radio stations have been blown up by the artillery of China, there are only two low-power radios, and they can't set up antennas, so it's difficult to connect, but please rest assured, we will contact the headquarters soon." Kokojiro replied, his language sincere and very infectious.

"Well, then there's Rajiro-kun." Ushijima nodded and said, his tone not as cold as before.

"General, the artillery in China is very fierce, and the defenders in several of our places have suffered heavy casualties, especially the Eight Tigers in the east, which suffered the heaviest casualties." A Japanese soldier with the rank of Osa, stood up and spoke.

As soon as he heard this, Ushijima's originally stiff face became even stiffer, and his tone became even colder, "Then is there anything Hetian-kun can do?" ”

"This ......" Hetian Jun was dumbfounded, holding the rice balls, not knowing what to say, paused for a long time, and finally lowered his head helplessly, "Report to the general, I, I haven't thought of a way yet." ”
