Chapter 520 Caught off guard (ask for subscription!) ）

In one afternoon, the high command of the column, a semi-underground bunker, with the efforts of hundreds of soldiers, was also completely built and put into use. Although, outside the headquarters, it has been completely shrouded in pitch-black night. However, in the completely enclosed headquarters, it was lit by a few stirrups. Dozens of staff officers, in the small command headquarters, walked back and forth, unusually busy.

Commander Liu Hua was sitting in front of a huge map of the county defense of Baishan County, listening to the reports of various regiment commanders and division commanders on the specific preparations of the troops.

At the headquarters, Wang Qiang, commander of the 1st Division, who was responsible for assisting Commander Liu Hua in commanding operations, was the first to speak: "Report to the commander, after an afternoon of rest and preparation. All the commanders and fighters of the 1st Division are ready for battle. In addition, in the noon offensive, the forward regiment, which had suffered heavy losses, had also been replenished. Its combat effectiveness has been restored to the state in front of the station. ”

Yu Keqin, commander of the Second Division, immediately replied: "Commander, all the commanders and fighters of the Second Division, starting with me, are all ready for battle. Please give the order to the commander for the battle ..."

Wu Huaduo, commander of the Third Division, opened his mouth and said: "Commander, all the commanders and fighters of the Third Division are ready for battle. ”

Hearing the reports of the three division commanders in front of him, Li Guanghui, the commander of the artillery regiment, was not far behind and said: "Commander, the artillery regiment has already built an artillery position. All artillery pieces have been put in place. Even the specific shots of each artillery piece have been fully concocted. When the time comes, I will ensure that my artillery regiment will be able to hit the shells wherever it is pointed. ”

Regarding everyone's answers, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then replied: "Very good, since everyone is ready, then we will give the little devil a large-scale field battle tonight." Strive for a breakthrough and one night to solve the defense line of all the Japanese puppet army strongholds on the periphery of Baishan County. ”

Seeing everyone's eyes, because of their own words, they immediately showed bloodthirsty eyes. On his face, in an instant, he showed a look of eagerness. Liu Hua continued.

"Comrades, I have only one request for tonight's attack, and that is to be fierce. All troops, you must give full play to all your firepower advantages and give me a hard blow. As for the artillery regiment of Commander Li, don't save shells for me. In this battle, I will replenish you as many shells as you hit, and it will be doubled. Therefore, everyone should not be polite to the little devil in front of you, and greet me fiercely with your most fierce firepower. ”

"Yes, Commander...", several people replied in unison, and the words were full of excitement and excitement.

"Good. Now I order: the first division, still the old place, attack me from the front. The second division tore through the defense line east of Baishan County, and then began to attack from the east gate. Third Division, attacking from the west. The artillery regiment, divided into three, provided fire cover for the three main divisions. I'll give you half an hour to redeploy your troops. Half an hour later, the artillery regiment immediately launched a fifteen-minute artillery bombardment on all preset positions. Okay, now the meeting is adjourned..."Commander Liu Hua ordered very neatly.

On the position of the Eighth Route Army directly opposite the forward position of the Japanese army, although the positions of the enemy and us were closely separated by a distance of less than 400 meters. However, such a distance is far beyond the range of grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns in their hands. As for mortars and mountain artillery, after a dozen minutes of artillery battle in the morning, the little devils who suffered heavy losses no longer had the courage to show off.

At this moment, more than 100 people on the front-line positions of the forward positions are under the gaze of the little devils in the situation of lack of food and ammunition because the ammunition depot and material warehouse have been destroyed. On the position of the Eighth Route Army, hundreds of soldiers had already finished a sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, a regiment and a company were stationed, and after more than half an hour of reorganization. Behind each veteran, two recruits were assigned. And after the bloody battle in the morning, under the explanation of these veterans with certain combat experience, these recruits who had already been on the battlefield in the original puppet army era. Immediately, I had a certain understanding of the battlefield in front of me and directly about to face.

Gradually, driven by the veterans, the murderous aura shrouded in the veterans also slowly affected the recruits around them. Half an hour later, the entire company had slowly and invisibly formed a whole. , "Tick tock...", just when the new soldiers listened thoughtfully to the veterans around them, the battlefield experience that they had exchanged for their lives and blood. A loud rallying cry reached everyone's ears, pulling everyone back to reality from their thinking.

As soon as the horn sounded, the voice of Li Shengda, the commander of the first company, immediately began to echo in the barracks. 、

Hearing Li Shengda's voice, driven by dozens of veterans, more than 100 soldiers immediately used their fastest speed, brought all their equipment, and stood in front of Li Shengda's company commander.

A few minutes later, the barracks, which had just been bustling with activity, could no longer be heard except for the wheezing of the soldiers. Guoxing, the instructor who had just been appointed by the regiment headquarters, strode out of the queue and stood in front of Li Shengda and reported.

"Report to the company commander, a company responded to 124 people, but there were 124 people. All personnel and equipment, all in place. ”

"Very well, take a break..."

A uniform movement resounded in the phalanx of more than a hundred warriors. Company Commander Li Shengda nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he said loudly: "Comrades, in the morning battle, our company can be said to have suffered heavy losses. Even Comrade Zhou Kang, the veteran company commander, died in the process of attacking. Everyone said, what should we do with the enemy who killed so many of our comrades? ”

"Revenge, revenge....", more than a hundred warriors shouted in unison. The earth-shattering voice, with the anger and hatred in the hearts of the soldiers, began to float over the battlefield.

Seeing everyone's reaction and the high morale of the troops, Li Shengda nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"Yes, everyone is very right, it is revenge. And tonight is our chance to take revenge. According to the order of the headquarters, our 1st Division was responsible for attacking the county town of Baishan from the front. And our regiment is also the forward regiment of the entire first division. Just now, I was at the regiment headquarters and fought for more than 10 minutes with the remaining battalion commanders of the special companies in the regiment before I won the task of the main attack. So, in the next battle, whoever it is. As long as I have a company of soldiers, they can't drop the chain for me. All veterans, bring the recruits behind you. When the time comes, whoever has a problem, I will find someone's squad leader, platoon leader. How about it, do you have the confidence to be the main attacker. ”

"Yes..." Led by dozens of veterans, another earth-shattering roar rang out over the barracks.

"Very well, now I command. All of them in a company, turn to the right, two columns, run and walk... The goal, the offensive position, now go..."Company Commander Li Shengda decisively gave the order to set off.

Before the start of the war, the tense atmosphere that permeated the battlefield also informed all the devil soldiers on the front line for the first time that a bloody battle would start in front of them in the near future.

And so. In order to ensure the foolproof nature of the forward position, the supreme commander of the forward position, Shoda Shaosa. Despite the exhaustion of the soldiers. It was resolutely decided that all the troops should go into the trenches and be ready for the most battle.

A standard infantry brigade lay in the trenches, staring at the troops of the Eighth Route Army who were constantly assembling on the opposite side. However, they didn't know that at this moment, dozens of large-caliber guns of various types were aiming their black holes at their positions.

"Bang bang bang...", the three-shot colorful signal flare, in the dark night sky, looks so dazzling. On the battlefield, nearly a thousand little devils all raised their heads and stared at a pair of big eyes, staring at the brilliant fire generated by the explosion of three signal flares in the air. A shrill whistling sound had reached their ears.

"Woo woo woo..." shells of various calibers were fired in time, and in the dark night, with the meaning of orange and red tail flames, quickly appeared above the heads of everyone on the battlefield. Before nearly a thousand devil soldiers could react from the shock. The timely shells that whistled had landed accurately on their positions.

Clusters of orange and red fireballs rose into the air over the Japanese positions. The entire forward position of the Japanese army is illuminated.

Under the light of a huge fire from the explosion of a shell. One by one, the unlucky little devils were thrown high into the sky. Then, in the air, it was directly torn to pieces by the flying shrapnel. One by one, lying in the trenches, before they had time to make any reaction, under the blow of flying shrapnel, they turned into a bloody corpse..., of course, in the first round, the dense shelling composed of dozens of shells could not inflict a devastating blow to the forward positions of the Japanese army, which had nearly 1,000 troops. However, a round of artillery bombardment and the loss of a squadron of Imperial Army soldiers still made the supreme commander of the Japanese front, Shoda Shaosa, furious.

Taking advantage of the gap between the two rounds of artillery fire, the roar of the commander Shoda Shaoza immediately began to sound on the position: "Quick, all squadrons, immediately hide and avoid the enemy's artillery fire." Signal troops, immediately ask the division headquarters for help, ask for artillery support, hurry, request artillery support..."

"Hai, Your Excellency, Captain..."

However, less than 20 meters after the signal corps broke out of its position, the second round of shells fired by the artillery regiment had already followed. The signal soldier who was responsible for transmitting the order, along with nearly 100 little devils hiding in the trenches, were once again killed in the dense artillery fire.

Of course, as more and more little devils reacted from the shock and began to dodge the shells that could fall at any time around them. On the forward positions of the Japanese army, the results of the artillery bombardment were also more and more after the fifth round of shelling. Almost every round of shells fell only enough to take the lives of a few dozen unlucky little devils.

Of course, at this moment, the target of the shelling is no longer limited to the little devil infantry. Rather, in order to destroy as much as possible the various fortifications on the forward positions of the Japanese army, including their light and heavy machine gun positions, placed on the positions, there was no time to transfer a very light and heavy machine gun ...

Fifteen minutes of shelling ended in the blink of an eye. Japanese forward positions, criss-crossing trenches. At this moment, all but a few main trenches have been blown into ruins. As for the whole brigade with a squadron of heavy machine guns, 12 heavy machine guns. In addition to the three heavy machine guns that were transferred in time, the remaining heavy machine guns, along with more than a dozen crooked handles, were destroyed in the dense artillery fire just now.

However, this is not the main thing, the important thing is the loss of their own forces. A reinforced brigade, in the morning offensive, lost a whole squadron of troops. And in the shelling just now, once again lost almost three squadrons of troops. At this moment, with a reinforced brigade of more than 1,200 people, full of battles and calculations, including all the lightly wounded, there were only more than 500 people left.

"Hey, hey, is it the division and regiment headquarters....Hey, is it the division and regiment headquarters, I am Zhengtian Shaozuo in the forward position..."Zhengtian Shaozuo, who got the loss of his own troops, the first thing that came to mind was to ask the division and regiment headquarters for help. Then, with the remnants of the troops, hold on until reinforcements arrive.

However, after half a minute of calling, there was still no echo from the microphone in his hand. It is clear that in the shelling just now, the telephone line between himself and the division command was cut.

"Baga, herald, go check the line immediately. I'll give you ten minutes, and within ten minutes, you must contact the headquarters of the division, otherwise, you will die. He dropped the phone in his hand. Shoda Shaozo roared loudly at the communication soldiers beside him.

"Hai, Your Excellency, Captain..."

However, just in the communications corps, along the telephone line, just walked out of the headquarters. A hurried sound reached his ears. Immediately after, the vice-captain with an anxious face appeared in front of him.

"Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack..."

"Soul egg, order the troops, enter the position immediately, no matter what, we must hold out until the arrival of reinforcements...."After speaking, Shoda Shaozo picked up the command knife on the table and rushed out of the command headquarters...

Three hundred meters in front of the Japanese position, a battalion of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, holding a rifle with a bayonet in his hand, slowly walked out of the trench. Under the cover of a dozen heavy machine guns firing frantically behind him, he patted the loose triangular attack formation and slowly walked towards the position of the little devil.

At the forefront of the entire triangular offensive formation, the first company that served as the main attacker, more than 100 soldiers, under the command of company commander Li Shengda, slowly advanced to the Japanese position not far away, which had been bombed into ruins.

"Comrades, keep up and don't be left behind. The little devils also carry a head on their shoulders, and a bullet still kills them. Besides, the shelling just now, the artillery regiment, has already killed most of the little devils. Don't be afraid, every veteran, bring the recruits behind you..."The voice of the company commander Li Shengda began to sound back and forth in the middle of the formation. Constantly cheering up the recruits in the middle of the team, who have a trace of panic on their faces, cheering them up...,

Listening to the encouragement of the company commander around him, looking at the Japanese positions that were a few hundred meters away, silent, and full of gaps, seemed to verify the words of the company commander just now. The fear on the faces of the recruits was slowly replaced by self-confidence. Gripping the rifle in his hand, he followed the veteran and slowly pushed forward.

Two hundred meters away, in the blink of an eye, the time has arrived. Just when the confident fighters advanced to a distance of only a hundred meters from the Japanese position. On the silent Japanese position, there was finally a trace of movement.

The entire infantry brigade, the remaining dozen light and heavy machine guns, under the order of the captain of the brigade, Shoda Shaoza, finally showed their hideous faces. At the same time, at the Eighth Route Army troops who were close at hand in front of him, he spewed out one hot tongue after another.

"Quickly hide, the machine gunner takes cover, and the grenadier will immediately return fire...", although the company commander Li Shengda's order was very timely. However, in the midst of a dense network of fire composed of more than a dozen tongues of fire, suddenly. There were still dozens of recruits who had not reacted from the shock, and they fell heavily in pools of blood, their lives uncertain.

Looking at the scene of dozens of fighters lying in a pool of blood, Li Shengda's clenched fist slammed into the dirt in front of him. Then, he commanded loudly to the soldiers who were also lying on the ground beside him.

"Dog's little devil, I'm going to make you pay for it with blood... The machine gunner, still stunned for something, immediately counterattacked. Grenadier, knock out the little devil's heavy machine gun for me right away. The communicator, pass a message to the regiment commander behind him, requesting artillery support. The rest of the people, crawl forward with me, and slowly approach the position of the little devil. ”

"Da Da Da Da..." a heart-rending sound of machine gun fire began to sound around him. The three main companies, more than a dozen crooked handles, shot out tongues of fire in retaliation at the same time. At the same time, the grenadiers equipped with each company, and the mortar company behind them, which was responsible for providing cover, also accurately fired one shell after another into the forward position of the Japanese army, which had become a ruin.

The dense light and heavy machine gun bullets, and the shells that constantly exploded, in just a moment, once again enveloped the forward positions of the Japanese army. The light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, which were still very arrogant just now, had to stop this meaningless fire attack after losing dozens of machine gunners before and after, and became a shrinking turtle.

"Comrades, the little devil can't lift his head after being beaten. They all rushed with me, rushed to the little devil position, and avenged the sacrificed comrades..."As the company commander, Li Shengda was the first to stand up, brandished the shell gun in his hand, and rushed towards the Japanese position close at hand.
