At midnight, the battle of the Laohugou position had entered a white heat, and the attacking troops of the Yue army suffered heavy casualties and could not be attacked for a long time, so they launched three consecutive attacks of more than 100 people, and the Chinese defenders of the first line of defense had not yet experienced such a battle, and suddenly it could be said that there were heavy casualties, and the whole front suddenly became precarious, and Ge Weimin, chief of staff of the newly formed first regiment under his command, had no choice but to draw two companies of troops from the third line position, and concentrated a large number of submachine guns to drive the Yue army off the position. The blood on the surface of the entire Laohugou position had turned into slush, and everywhere there was this black mud that had been raised by artillery fire.

When did the snow stop? However, the attack of the Chinese army was even more violent, and there were shaking figures everywhere, and some of the Japanese troops even rushed to the third line of defense before they were found and killed; in the trenches and communication trenches of the front-line positions, the officers and men of the two sides were desperately tearing and killing in different languages, and everywhere there were people scuffling together, picking out their eyes, pinching their necks, biting their ears, smashing them with stones, hitting with the butts of their guns, and stabbing them with bayonets! The screams and tears rose and fell on each other, accompanied by a dense burst of fire and the explosion of grenades.

At this moment, Ge Weimin's shoulders have been hung up, and only two soldiers are left in a platoon that counterattacks with him to protect the chief of staff, Ge Weimin's Browning pistol has long been lost, and it has been replaced with a Mauser pistol picked up from a dead platoon commander, and after killing several soldiers in a row, he looked at the advancing army Ge Weimin shouted loudly, gave up the first-line position, and transferred to the second-line position, from both sides! Don't mess up the second-line defense.

But many Chinese soldiers were entangled with the Japanese army on the defensive line, and soon their figures were overwhelmed by the figures of the Japanese army's attack.

Request artillery support! Ge Weimin dialed the phone directly to the artillery group headquarters, a hundred meters? Fifty meters? After two coordinate and secret position adjustments, the commander of the artillery group handed the phone to the regiment commander Zhang Tianpeng!

Rumble! Boom! Zhang Tianpeng's artillery regiment has suppressed the artillery fire on the last secret position in the pre-security, but Ge Weimin at the front is still yelling too far, Zhang Tianpeng has a solemn expression and holds the phone in one hand, and marks the secret position in the other hand and said in surprise: "Is the reduction about to hit your defense line?" ”

Ge Weimin looked at the Yue army that broke into the position from all directions, and shot out from the fortifications from time to time, while shouting: "Shoot at me, the first line of defense has been lost, and we have been surrounded by myself!" Hurry up! ”

Zhang Tianpeng was stunned for a moment, he had such an experience once, shooting at his brothers? When he heard that the Second Artillery Group had been ordered to carry out an artillery bombardment on the front of Laohugou, it was said that there would be dozens of daredevils who had attacked in front of the battle.

If you don't open the artillery, you will miss the best opportunity to kill and injure a large number of the army's vital forces, and it will cause the counterattacking troops to be unable to quickly recover their positions and completely lose their front-line positions, Zhang Tianpeng took a deep breath, he made such a decision once, that decision made him from the regiment commander to the battalion commander, and now he is once again standing at the crossroads of choice, please ask the division headquarters? Zhang Tianpeng is not crazy yet, which commander likes to push the black pot to his subordinates?

"Shrink a secret position! The first, second, and third artillery groups fired! Ten shots at a rapid pace! Zhang Tianpeng yelled fiercely!

Just as the Yue army swarmed into the position to clear out the Chinese defenders who were still resisting stubbornly, the roaring and dense artillery fire smashed all the attacking troops of the Yue army.

Naoliang Matsuki, who heard the casualties reported from the front, did not even know when the earpiece slipped off, and after nearly four hours of fierce fighting, he had just captured the first line of defense of the Chinese defenders, and was subjected to intensive artillery bombardment by some of the enemy's enemies, and the 54th and 55th Infantry Wings of the 27th Brigade were responsible for the attack with more than half of the casualties, and the 57th Wing drawn from the 28th Brigade began to take over the main attack, and the 54th and 55th Infantry Wings retreated to carry out battlefield reconditioning and then fought again!

Fierce artillery fire, dense firepower, a resolute will to resist, almost crazy killing! According to the information fed back by the 27th Infantry Brigade, the distance between the three lines of defense of the Chinese defenders was about 100 meters, and the difference between the second line of defense and the third line of defense and the first line of defense was a full 17 degrees.

The result of this attack was like a massacre, but with a few bursts of fierce white-knuckle battles, the enemy could not be routed by a few fierce white-knuckle battles, which made Matsuki Naoliang very difficult to accept? It is said that the most proud and invincible white soldier of this imperial army will fail to attack?

Naoaki Matsuki can't understand failure and why it fails? Wind and snow, troops, and morale all occupy an absolute advantage, even the firepower is almost the same, and in addition to the bushido spirit of the Great Empire to conquer all battles, why did it fail? After a long battle, the battle was fruitless, and the casualties were heavy, and these eight big characters pressed down on Matsuki Zhiliang, and he couldn't breathe.

However, as the commander of the 28th Infantry Brigade of the former enemy, Hiraga Mazo had a personal experience, and in the previous attack, Hiraga Mazo could only hear the rumbling cannon sound and see the flash of the explosion, and after the wind and snow gradually stopped at midnight, Hiraga Mazo could vaguely see the rows of soldiers who were strafed by machine gun fire and fell to the ground with the help of the flash of the explosion of the artillery bombardment on both sides.

Walking on the snow is a hard thing in itself, especially wearing bulky overcoats and carrying weapons, clumsy soldiers have become the target of Chinese soldiers, from the fierce exchange of fire between the attacking sides, the artillery support of the field artillery wing has hardly stopped, how long can the shells carried by the field artillery wing of the division and regiment support? Hiraga Mazo had never considered it, but now it is obviously not possible, Hiraga Mazo faced the attack organized by the [***] team, which had an absolute advantage in light weapon firepower, and if there was no suppression and destruction of artillery fire, I am afraid that the attack would no longer be possible.

Hiraga Mazo had almost reached a state of numbness and despair for attacking the Chinese defenders' positions in front of him, and with such a dense force on a narrow front slope for a full-line assault, Naoaki Matsuki must have gone completely insane! Due to the death of the brigade commander, the 27th Infantry Brigade fought particularly bravely, braving the scorching firepower of the Chinese defenders, repeatedly attacking, and reporting more than half of the casualties is indeed an exaggeration.

But with at least nearly 3,000 killed in two infantry wings, and thousands of wounded that could not be transported through the artillery blockade, the shells of the Chinese defenders seemed to be endless? Time was quietly slipping away minute by minute, and Hiraga Mazo knew very well that under the extreme cold, if these wounded could not be kept warm and treated immediately, their names would be directly included in the list of fallen officers and soldiers early tomorrow morning.

Hiraga Mazo, who failed in the attack, unexpectedly received a phone call from the division commander Matsuki Naoaki to reprimand him, Matsuki Naoryo reprimanded Hiraga Mazo in a very harsh tone, and finally Hiraga Mazo, who couldn't bear it, had to carefully plead, it seemed that the Chinese defenders had smashed all the shells on their heads? The side ridge of Majiagou and the direction of Seng Guanfeng have not been supported by a large-scale artillery fire since the fierce battle?
