Seeing that the Japanese army that arrived at the end independently mixed into the 15th Brigade and arrived outside Dongsheng City, there was no defensive position. In their rear, only a pseudo-Mongolian cavalry division was arranged, and He Zhengdao also felt that the little devil was too arrogant.

You must know that it is not long before dark at this moment, and if it is a cautious Japanese commander, he should have set up a defensive position in the rear. Even simply set up camp to avoid unfavorable battles, and even camped overnight to rest.

Hearing the information fed back by the reconnaissance brigade, He Zhengdao also began to guess that the Japanese army must be planning to take down the defensive position of the first regiment with all their might, and enter Dongsheng City, where the conditions are much better, to rest tonight.

After making this analysis, He Zhengdao also smiled angrily and said: "Okay! Is it really easy to mess with our independent columns? Xu Renyi was ordered to transfer the second regiment to the position. In addition, inform the artillery brigade to be ready.

Secondly, send electricity to the cavalry divisions so that they can spread out the encirclement. The reconnaissance battalion of the reconnaissance brigade is responsible for clearing the cavalry posts of the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry. The rest of the 2nd Division reserves troops and the rest of the reconnaissance brigade and are ready to counterattack at any time. ”

After this order was issued, Chief of Staff Wang Tianlin said: "Commander, do you plan to deal with them overnight?" ”

'Yes! Originally, I wanted to use this Japanese army to form a brigade and temper our troops. Now it seems that the little devils simply ignore our existence. Such a good opportunity to fight back, why should we miss it.

Most importantly, if you look at the time now, it's less than two hours until it gets dark. This means that even if the little devil asks for plane support, I am afraid that it will have to wait until tomorrow. Couldn't you solve them in the wild in one night?

With only one puppet Mongolian cavalry division, it dared not to camp and not set up a blocking line. This is a clear contempt for us! Since this is the case, it is necessary to let the little devil know. How costly it is to belittle us.

What's more, finish this battle early. We can also begin to accomplish the objectives set by the battle. To be honest, I really don't really care much about this incoming independent mixed brigade. What's more, I want to touch their divisions! ’

According to the reconnaissance brigade before the war, the Japanese army sent a division, two mixed brigades and a cavalry wing in the Suiyuan area. It seems that the army is very strong, but in fact, there are not many scattered places.

If you can solve this attacking independent mixed brigade in one night, I believe it will also be a major blow to the little devils! At least for the time being. The Japanese army, which had not yet been formed and destroyed, was formed into an independent mixed brigade.

With He Zhengdao's order, the cavalry division, which originally served as a reserve, also began to move in the direction of Dongsheng. At the same time, the reconnaissance cavalry battalion that went around behind the little devil also began to clear the reconnaissance and cavalry posts sent by the puppet Mongolian cavalry division.

Only by solving these sentries can the cavalry division of the independent column get the best chance of raiding. And the artillery brigade, which had also been pulled by the mountain artillery captured in the previous time, also began to enter the artillery position, waiting for the Japanese artillery squadron to open fire.

At the same time. The Japanese infantry brigade, which served as the main attacker, also began to make preparations before the battle. Compared with the previous drag of the puppet army, the Japanese infantry brigade that received the order quickly lined up an offensive formation.

Look at these Japanese troops who are slowly advancing. The Reds in their camp also knew that what was next was a tough battle they had to face. It's just that seeing the reinforcements that have been sent to the position one after another, the officers and men of the first regiment also feel a lot more relieved.

Anyway. In their rear, too, there was a steady stream of reinforcements. As long as you defeat the Japanese army in front of you, believe in the other Japanese troops. It will also be a huge deterrent!

While the Japanese were waiting, the previously exposed machine-gun positions. The transfer is also carried out quickly. As for the tactics of fire reconnaissance before the little devil's battle, once an attack is launched, it will first hit the machine gun position, and the commander of the first regiment also knows.

Therefore, when building machine-gun positions, a regiment built three positions for each heavy machine gun on the positions. As long as there is time to transfer, these machine guns will be transferred, so that the fire reconnaissance of the little devils will all fail.

What's more, against the puppet army before, they only used a third of their heavy machine guns. The rest of the heavy machine gun fire points have not been exposed so far. Just wait for the little devil to rush into the position and give the little devil an unexpected surprise!

The independent mixed brigade of the attack on Suixi was also equipped with two artillery brigades. An artillery brigade, armed with twelve 75mm mountain guns of the 41 type. Another artillery brigade is also equipped with a Type 41 75mm cavalry field gun.

The former's independent column also captured a batch, and the latter artillery was farther than the former in terms of range alone. However, both types of artillery have an advantage for the Japanese army, that is, they are conducive to carrying and transporting.

Despite the artillery, the attacking Japanese had an advantage over the artillery brigades of the separate columns. The artillery brigade, which can occupy the advantage of the terrain, basically does not have to worry about the shelling of the little devils. Because, the little devil can't hit it at all.

When choosing to build a blocking position, He Zhengdao specifically looked at the terrain. At this moment, the position of the mountain artillery battalion of the artillery brigade was built according to the anti-slope. Even if the Japanese found out, their shells would fly.

Just after one of the two artillery brigades of the Japanese army pulled out the frame, under the order of Nagumo Kinichiro, an artillery attack on the defensive positions of the Red Army was soon launched. Looking at the shells falling from the sky, the officers and soldiers on the position knew that they were going to start.

'Hurry into the anti-artillery hole, the observation posts are all watching, don't let the little devils touch it easily!' ’

With the defenders on the position, they successively drilled into the nearest anti-artillery hole. Except for the machine gunners who were hiding at the observation post on the position, the rest of the fighters who were scattered outside the position all withdrew into the anti-artillery holes dug earlier.

When constructing a defensive position, He Zhengdao deliberately told the Second Division that it was best to build an anti-artillery hole to withstand the bombing of the aircraft. This also means that with only the 75-caliber mountain cannon of the little devil, it is impossible to blow up the anti-artillery hole.

After the shelling began, the Japanese also began to advance slowly in a skirmishing line. In this case, the artillery surveyor, who observed the Japanese artillery, quickly returned the parameters of this Japanese mountain artillery position to the position of the artillery brigade.

Travel Zhu Zhi looked at this parameter and said with a smile: "Okay, our artillery brigade can finally have an artillery battle with the little devil until today." Give me a little bit of precision, we don't have a lot of shells in stock. ”

'Yes, Brigadier, you see! ’

The artillerymen who began to adjust the angle of the artillery, as they shouted 'ready' one after another, Zhu Zhi also immediately said: "Okay, let's start counterattacking!" ”

With an order, the ten mountain guns of the artillery brigade also quickly roared. Hearing the roaring sound of artillery shelling from the rear of the Red Army position, Nagumo Kissichiro was very surprised and said: "What about it! In this army, is there still large-caliber artillery? ”

In the surprised eyes of Nagumo Kissichiro, the first round of shells fired by the artillery brigade accurately hit the Japanese mountain artillery position. The sound of artillery that had resounded through the blocking position suddenly stopped.

It didn't take long for Nagumo to receive news from the artillery brigade that more than half of their mountain artillery positions had been destroyed during the Red Army's counterattack. A lot of artillery is afraid that it will have to be pulled back for repair before it can continue to be used.

'Bagaya Road! It seems that our opponent is stronger than we think! Order the field artillery brigade to estimate their artillery positions for me, and we must destroy the artillery positions of the Chinese army in the shortest possible time.

In addition, the infantry brigade was ordered to begin the offensive. Without the support of artillery, our warriors were still able to capture the positions of the Chinese army. Tonight, we must go into town for our victorious dinner! ’

When the mountain artillery brigade lost its effectiveness and the field artillery brigade began to counterattack. The infantry brigade in charge of the attack, more than a thousand Japanese troops, also began to attack. Under the cover of mortars, the Japanese also went on the offensive.

Risking the fall of mortars, the Red Army in positions also began to burrow into anti-artillery holes and enter their respective combat positions. A regiment attached to the mortar company also began to suppress the mortars of the Japanese infantry brigade.

Looking at the Japanese troops, who were not slow in attacking, but were unusually calm, a rifle battalion sent by the reconnaissance brigade began firing from a distance of two hundred meters. At the same time, the heavy machine guns on the position also began to make angry roars.

'Grenadier, knock out the opponent's heavy machine gun position!' ’

The grassroots commanders of the Japanese army, who were suppressed in the forward positions, quickly ordered their grenadiers to start a counterattack against the Red Army on the positions. But these grenadiers undoubtedly became live targets for riflemen of the reconnaissance brigade.

The sound of 'bang' rifles, messy but rhythmic, made many Japanese soldiers carrying grenadiers fall by the Red Army on the position with a shot as soon as the grenadiers were set up. This situation also made the attacking Japanese army a little crazy.

Similarly, most of the Japanese soldiers who successfully set up grenadiers were able to accurately throw grenades into the machine gun positions of the Red Army. In this case, the Red Army on the positions also began to suffer casualties.

Fortunately, the riflemen of the reconnaissance brigade were very effective, and their shooting at a distance of 200 meters was more accurate than that of the Japanese army. In this case, even if the Japanese grenadiers succeeded, they were often killed with only one grenade.

Looking at the infantry brigade whose attack was blocked, suppressed in the forward position for about 200 meters and unable to advance, Nanyun Qinichiro said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "Let the Imperial Association Army send an infantry regiment to cooperate with our attack!" ”

In Nagumo Kinichiro's opinion, compared to the number of defenders of the Red Army on the position, the number of attackers in an infantry brigade was too small. Therefore, the deployment of a pseudo-regiment to cooperate with the operation can also share the offensive pressure of the infantry brigade.

When the puppet army began to join the battle, the rest of the defenders on the position also began to join the ranks of blocking. In this case, the field artillery squadron of the Japanese army also began to counterattack the artillery brigade.

Looking at the cannonballs flying over his position, Zhu Definition also smiled and said: "The little devil is very kind, use the cannonballs to plow the land for us for free!" Hurry up and measure their parameters and see if we can do it! ”

It was known earlier that the little devils also had a field artillery brigade, equipped with artillery with a range of two kilometers more than theirs. This also means that if the opponent's artillery position is set too far back, they really can't reach it! (To be continued.) )
