I just got up, and I sent a chapter first, and today I will say the first update, thank you for your great support......

The captain of the little devil brigade, seeing the defeated remnants of the defeated army, was distressed to death, his face was full of misery, and he said to the messenger next to him: "Quickly send a report to Your Excellency the brigade commander, the First Infantry Brigade has been heavily damaged, and I ask for support." ”

"Hey", the little devil communications soldier hurriedly went to send the report.

Suzuki Shigeyasu, who received the telegram from the 1st Infantry Brigade, angrily took out his command knife and slashed it on a big tree next to him, and said to the chief of staff next to him: "Order the troops, accelerate the advance, and support the 1st Infantry Brigade." ”

In the position of the third company, the soldiers saw the thousands of little devils who came like a tide, they were defeated by themselves, and finally left the corpses on the ground, and less than a third of the little devils successfully retreated, and suddenly broke out into cheers, and some soldiers even raised their guns in their hands and raised their arms and shouted.

Seeing the great victory of the third company, Wang Haiyang, the commander of the first regiment, hurriedly asked the correspondent to send the battle situation to the division headquarters and report it to the division commander Zhang Yunfei.

After receiving the good news from the front, Zhang Yunfei was also full of joy, and said to the deputy division commander Liu Dazhu: "Dazhu, the first regiment has severely damaged the vanguard of the Suzuki Brigade, I estimate that the main force of the Suzuki Brigade will soon reach Giethoorn Village, order, the artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft artillery battalion enter the designated attack position, and the second regiment and the fourth regiment will detour from both sides to outflank the little devils."

"Okay, I'll go and deliver the mission right away." Liu Dazhu replied immediately.

"In addition, the political commissar stays at the division headquarters, wait a minute, Dazhu, you and I will go to the front line, command the battle, and we must not let the little devils who come to attack go back alive."

When the Suzuki brigade reached the west side of Giethoorn Village and there were still two or three kilometers to go, Suzuki Shigeyasu chose the highest hill in the vicinity as a temporary headquarters, and the imps were busy setting up field tents, setting up radio stations, etc.

The brigade commander Suzuki Shigeyasu straddled the command knife and was accompanied by several little devil staff officers, standing on the hillside, holding a telescope to carefully observe the position of the Eighth Route Army opposite.

The more he looked, the more solemn Suzuki's face became, judging from the troop layout of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side and the excavation of the trenches, the commander of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was not simple, and he was afraid that there would be a vicious battle when he waited.

After looking at it for a long time, Suzuki Shigeyasu said to the chief of staff next to him: "Is the artillery brigade ready?" ”

"The artillery brigade is building positions and will be ready for battle in half an hour." The chief of staff replied.

"Yo Xi, in half an hour, order the artillery brigade to shell the opposite position of China, so that the China troops can taste the power of the imperial artillery." Suzuki said to the chief of staff with a sly smile.

Suzuki Shigeyasu's understanding of the Chinese [***] team is still a few months ago, the previous battle of Xinkou, the battle of Taiyuan, the army is without artillery, and he mainly relies on two tricks to defeat the Chinese army, one is high-density artillery bombardment, and the other is to rely on more advanced and stronger firepower than [***] to carry out group charge, which is easy to break down the opponent's defense line.

This time, Suzuki Shigeyasu did not prepare for a group charge for the time being, according to the information provided by the 1st Infantry Brigade earlier, the opposite Shina army had an astonishing number of automatic weapons, and the 1st Infantry Brigade was heavily damaged by the group charge.

The artillery brigade of the Suzuki Brigade had thirty-six seventy-millimeter mountain guns and carried a large number of shells, so Suzuki Shigeyasu prepared a high-density artillery bombardment of the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

In the position of the third company, the soldiers were replenishing their ammunition, and after a fierce shooting just now, some of the fighters were almost running out of several magazines, this kind of automatic rifle is very good, but the ammunition consumption is very large.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the transport company came to the position with boxes of bullets, replenished the bullets for the soldiers, opened the ammunition box, which was packed in oil-paper, neatly arranged, yellow and clear bullets, and the commander of the third company hurriedly grabbed a handful of bullets and skillfully filled several of his magazines with bullets.

Just as the soldiers finished replenishing their ammunition and hid in the trenches to rest, a sharp whistling sound was heard from the sky, and the experienced veterans knew that it was the little devils who began to shell.

Wang Haiyang, the commander of a regiment who was observing from a distance, saw that the little devil position on the opposite side began to open artillery, and judging from the movement just now, it may be that the artillery brigade of the Suzuki Brigade has begun to shell.

Although the first line of defense has built anti-artillery holes, most of these anti-artillery holes are earthen structures, and it is okay to avoid a few rounds of shelling from the little devils, but if it is an artillery brigade and the long-term shelling of more than 30 cannons, these anti-artillery holes may be collapsed.

Just in case, Wang Haiyang still decisively ordered the three companies in the first line of defense to retreat, and the three companies that received the order to retreat along the traffic ditch and the cat's waist retreated in an orderly manner and entered the second line of defense.

The anti-artillery holes of the second line of defense are reinforced with large trees and sandbags, and are not afraid of the shelling of small-caliber mountain artillery by imps.

When Zhang Yunfei and the deputy division commander rushed to the front line of Giethoorn, they were just in time for the shelling of the little devils, and seeing the shells of the little devils falling densely on the first line of defense, Zhang Yunfei thought to himself, the little devils were wasting shells again.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei's arrival, the head of the regiment immediately ran over and gave a standard military salute and said, "Hello chief, the first regiment is fighting fiercely with the little ghost, please instruct." ”

Zhang Yunfei waved his hand, asking Wang Haiyang not to be too restrained, and then said to Wang Haiyang: "It seems that the artillery of the little devil on the other side is very arrogant." ”

Hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, Liu Dazhu, the deputy division commander next to him, said: "Division commander, our artillery regiment is already ready, do you want to give the little devil some color." ”

"Not only do we have to give the little devils on the opposite side a little color, but we also want to hurt them, cripple them, and order, the artillery regiment will start shelling the little devils' positions for an hour."

The 136th Division, the position of the artillery regiment, an hour ago, the artillery regiment had set up a position, and now the artillery regiment is rich and rich, equipped with three artillery battalions, each artillery battalion 36 Type 92 infantry guns, the whole regiment 108 cannons, in addition to the regiment directly under the transport company, the guard company, the whole regiment more than 2,200 people, 5 or 600 horses.

In this big battle, the regiment commander Wang Daquan was also full of expectations in his heart, and this time the artillery regiment must perform well and play the majesty and momentum of the Eighth Route Army.

The battle on the front line has begun, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be the turn of our artillery regiment to perform.

Just as Wang Daquan was full of expectations and was about to do a big job, the regimental headquarters correspondent ran over and reported that he had just received the order from the division commander, and immediately from now on, the artillery regiment would shell the position of the little devil on the opposite side with all its might.

"Haha, it's finally our turn, the little devil on the other side, wait for grandpa to send you cannonballs to eat!" Wang Daquan laughed and said.

After laughing, the regiment commander Wang Daquan walked to the artillery mirror, observed the position of the little devil's position two or three kilometers away on the opposite side again, and then decisively ordered the artillery to start firing.

An artillery loader, who received the order, loaded the shell into the chamber of the infantry gun, locked the gun door, trotted two steps, and waited for the artillery shooter to fire.

More than a hundred cannons, the muzzles of the black holes pointed obliquely at the positions of the little devils on the opposite side, and after the shells were loaded, several infantry guns began to fire test.

The results of this test firing were not ideal, and most of the shells missed, however, according to the results of this shooting, all the cannons adjusted their firing and immediately began a second round of shelling.

The effect of the second round of shelling was much better than the first, all the shells hit the position of the little devils, and seeing that the shooting Zhu Yuan was correct after adjustment, the regiment commander Wang Daquan gave the order to fire freely.

After a while, the positions of the entire artillery regiment roared, and all the artillery let out an earth-shattering roar, and all the artillery was loading and firing shells at the fastest speed.

In normal times, the rate of fire in training is generally four rounds per minute, but this time some infantry guns fired six rounds per minute.

On the opposite side, the temporary headquarters of the little devils, the brigade commander Major General Suzuki Shigeyasu, clearly saw through the telescope that his artillery brigade had begun to shell the positions of the Eighth Route Army in China, and most of the shells hit the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Thinking of this, Suzuki Shigeyasu happily said a few "yo west".

Just as Suzuki Shigeyasu was immersed in joy, the direction of the Eighth Route Position on the opposite side also began to open fire, and several shells missed and landed on the periphery of the Japanese army's position, making a violent explosion.

Seeing this scene, Suzuki Shigeyasu happily said to the chief of staff next to him: "Baludi, if you can't do your job, you can't even shoot the artillery." ”

Not long after Suzuki Shigeyasu finished speaking, a large number of screams came from the opposite side, Suzuki Shigeyasu looked up at the sky, only to see hundreds of streamers in the sky flying towards the position of his troops, not good for the large-scale artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army.

A few seconds later, hundreds of shells accurately hit the position of the little devils, making earth-shattering explosions, blowing up large craters one after another.

Seeing such a large-scale shelling, Suzuki Shigeyasu angrily grabbed the collar of the chief of staff next to him and said loudly: "How can there be so many cannons in the Dirt Eight Road." ”

The answer to Suzuki Shigeyasu was the next heavy shelling by the Eighth Route Army.

Due to the lack of understanding of Zhang Yunfei's Eighth Route Army, he did not expect Zhang Yunfei to have so many cannons, and Suzuki Shigeyasu did not take effective measures to prevent artillery bombardment.

The positions of the little devils were all built with improvised fortifications, no anti-artillery holes were dug at all, and the layout of the troops was not arranged in steps, but at least three infantry brigades were placed in the forward positions as the main attack, and the remaining two infantry brigades were arranged on both sides to cover the flanks.

Therefore, under the fierce shelling of the artillery regiment, the number of casualties of the little devils has risen sharply, and it is estimated that there will not be many devils who can survive the shelling for an hour.

Suzuki Shigeyasu's face was pale, watching his troops being beaten in vain, and if this continued, the three infantry brigades that were the main attack in front would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

In the end, the proud Suzuki Shigeyasu had a miserable face, and hurriedly said to the chief of staff: "Quickly send a report to His Excellency the Commander of the 1st Army of Taiyuan, Xiangyue Qingji, that the 1st Infantry Brigade was bombarded by the Eighth Route Army of China near Giethoorn Village on a large scale, and suffered heavy casualties, and asked for tactical guidance." ”

The chief of staff also realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately turned around and walked towards the communications room.
