Chapter 1056: Weixian Siege (2)

The other officers of the 3rd Regiment saw that the situation was unfavorable and immediately reported to the division headquarters.

After Wu Ming and Li Wen learned the news, they immediately and decisively ordered the first battalion to stop the strong attack and retreat, since the first attack was ineffective, there was no need to force it, that would only make the soldiers die in vain.

The Japanese army has been prepared in Weixian for a long time, and this battle will be an unprecedented battle, so Wu Ming and Li Wen have a very good mentality and are well prepared, and they never thought that they would be as strong as before, and the Japanese army was as solid as a rock, so they had to use fierce attacks to break through the enemy's defense line little by little.

So, they are not in a hurry.

After the first attack, they ordered the front-line troops to seize the time to rest and recuperate, and then transferred the task of the main attack to the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment. Wu Ming, Zhao Youde, and Li Wen began to discuss countermeasures in the headquarters.

"I didn't expect that the little devil's defense would be so tenacious, I'm afraid we ran into a stone this time." Zhao Youde said with a wry smile.

"It's just a stone, and Lao Tzu can smash it! Nothing can stop us from advancing, the devil's minefield has not been almost destroyed, it's time to let the tank regiment go! The tank regiment was ordered to cooperate with the second battalion of the third regiment to carry out a joint assault, and the first and third battalions of the third regiment were responsible for the left and right detours.

As for the rest of the friendly units, just let them follow the tank regiment and the 2 battalion to attack, and if necessary, replenish the battle damage of the 2 battalion! This time, I'm going to have to take the front line of the little devils anyway. Wu Ming gritted his teeth and said in a dignified voice.

"In order to ensure the effectiveness of the attack, I suggest that the artillery regiment directly under the division headquarters also join the battle, unite with the tank regiment, carry out the most intense artillery covering strike on the Japanese position, and do our best to clear the obstacles for the attacking troops." Li Wen put forward his own proposal.

"Well, agree, immediately order Wang Daniu to lead the artillery regiment forward and join the battle, or the same sentence, don't be stingy with shells, give Lao Tzu a hard hit!" Wu Ming immediately approved.

Li Wen and Zhao Youde glanced at each other, and at the same time stood up and saluted in response.

At the same time, the Japanese headquarters, Major General Devil, heard that the attack on the Tuba Road had been repulsed, and he was very happy to call and praise several Japanese officers who had fought bloody battles on the front line, and at the same time ordered them to strengthen their vigilance and immediately organize manpower to repair the fortifications blown up by the Tuba Road.

Moreover, Major General Devil also knew that the Dragon's Tooth Column failed in its first attack, and it would definitely launch a more fierce attack next. Therefore, Major General Devil also quietly mobilized a reinforced artillery brigade under his command to the vicinity of the west gate of Weixian County and deployed artillery positions.

Here, the devil's artillery can just cover the entire position outside the west gate of the city within their absolute range, and once the battle is urgent, the devil's artillery can immediately open fire, inflicting great damage on the attacking dragon's tooth troops, so as to support their own forward defense forces.

At the same time, he transferred another imperial association military camp out of the city to strengthen the main position in the west of the city. After making all these arrangements, Major General Devil put down the phone triumphantly, lit a cigarette and smoked it deliciously.

However, he had only smoked two puffs of cigarette when a violent explosion rang out outside.

Immediately after that, this violent explosion rumbled one after another, and the sound kept stopping, and the devil major general sat in the city and felt that the ground under his feet seemed to tremble slightly.

After a while, a combat staff officer put down the phone, hurriedly ran to Major General Devil, saluted him and reported: "Your Excellency General, the forward report is that the people of China have dispatched a large number of tanks and a large number of artillery, and are carrying out heavy artillery fire on the forward positions of the imperial army.

The warriors of the Imperial Army, who were rushing to repair the fortifications, had no time to dodge, and the casualties were extremely heavy! ”

"Damn, the people of China are so cunning that they attack again so soon that they don't even give us a chance to breathe." When the devil major general heard this, he was immediately furious.

"Order the artillery units to be ready, and when the Chinese begin to attack, concentrate their fire on the tanks and tanks of the Chinese people, and be sure to destroy their tanks and vehicles, otherwise our defense line may not be able to hold. According to previous battle reports, the tanks and combat vehicles equipped by the Eighth Road of China are very powerful, so if you want to hold the field defense line, you must find a way to inflict heavy damage on their armored forces! "Major General Devil also knows that with the power in his hands, it is obviously unrealistic to completely annihilate the invading Dragon Tooth Tank Armored Force, so it is good to be able to hit hard.

The combat staff officer hurriedly bowed his head in response and walked away quickly.

Outside the city, the Japanese army's position has been covered several times by the shells jointly fired by the artillery regiment and the tank regiment of the third division, and the plough has generally gone back and forth several times, and the whole sea of fire, the flames and thick smoke rose into the sky, and under the thick smoke, there were constantly devils and puppet soldiers who were hit by raging shrapnel and fell in a pool of blood screaming.

The joint artillery bombardment of the tank regiment and the artillery regiment lasted for more than half an hour, and such a large-scale artillery bombardment made the little devils who were under the brilliant artillery fire angry and envious, and they did not dare to carry out such a high-intensity and high-density artillery bombardment because they did not have many resources.

This made them only greedy, angrily scolding the earth eight roads for going too far, and the shells seemed to be as if they didn't need money, which was simply too hateful.

As soon as the shelling ended, more than 1,000 officers and men of the 2nd Battalion, under the cover of the tank regiment, launched an attack on the Japanese positions that were filled with gunsmoke and were shattered.

The Japanese army was blown up by the shells of the third division, and the corpses were everywhere, how could there be any ability to resist, but fortunately, the commander of the devil major general hurriedly sent thousands of puppet troops into the position full of gunsmoke and dead corpses, which made the Japanese puppet army a little more courageous.

However, the courage is a little bigger, but the strength of the Japanese army has not improved much, because the puppet army that came to reinforce has a big gap with the active troops of the Japanese army in terms of individual soldier quality and weapons and equipment.

In the face of the hundreds of dragon tooth tank tanks and tanks around the tank, the dragon tooth infantry, the puppet soldiers were frightened one by one, holding guns and putting them all around, and the bullets didn't know where to fly, let alone hit the target.

A few remnants of the devils are still shooting stubbornly, but before they can fire many shots, they will be retaliated and bombed by the howitzers of the tank regiment, and even the people with guns will be blown to pieces.

Some of the grassroots commanders of the devils saw that their sparse firepower was not enough to stop the coordinated attack of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Quickly notify the artillery brigade to open the artillery, quickly open the artillery, and blow up those damn tank and combat vehicles!" ”

A devil herald quickly ran to the rear along the trench under artillery fire, and soon notified the artillery units that were waiting for the battle, and the devil artillerymen opened fire one after another, and rows of shells whistled through the sky and flew towards the Japanese position.
