60 meters, at this time, the outline of the devil has been clearly seen, and the fighters can feel the cold light reflected by the devil's bayonet. Sweat began to form on the heads of the fighters, and the fingers that pulled the trigger began to tremble. 50 meters, the company commander has not fired yet, 40 meters, finally arrived.

"Bang" With the sound of a gunshot on the position, a commander of the army holding the sun flag fell under the gun of the fourth company commander, and suddenly, the soldiers also pulled the trigger together when the first gunshot rang out. In an instant, dozens of devils at the front of the army fell under the soldiers' platoon guns.

At the moment when the devil in front fell, all 9 light machine guns on the entire position joined the ranks of firing, and there was no need to hide their strength anymore. The fighters were not restrained by saving bullets, and desperately pulled the trigger. Nine fire dragons swept around in the formation of the enemy's charge, leaving no dead ends, constantly harvesting the lives of devils.

Since the devil had reached the last moment of charge at this time, everyone straightened up and accelerated the speed of the charge. It takes at least a few seconds to suddenly lie on the ground from a fast run, and it is these few seconds that kill them, and in these few seconds, each light machine gun has completed a whole magazine, and even if a magazine eliminates several devils, nine machine guns add up, there is also a squad of devils, and with the blow of the rifle platoon gun, a squadron of the army has lost at least half of its combat effectiveness in these few seconds.

The leader of the devil squadron rode on his horse and stared blankly at the firepower points of the [***] team on the position, watching the tongues of fire constantly harvesting the lives of the imperial warriors, and immediately regretted the light enemy just now. However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and the devils of nearly two squads will fall forever on the ground in front of them because of their own light enemies, and fall under the guns of the people.

"Eight Geya Road, we were fooled, and ordered the troops to retreat, retreat quickly." Squadron Leader Lieutenant Kawada said eagerly.

The devils who got the order finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they bent down and began to retreat, and this situation did not escape the fourth company commander who had been observing the army, "I want to go, it's not so easy!" The commander of the fourth company said viciously, "Order the troops to load their bayonets and prepare to charge." The commander of the fourth company quickly gave the order, and one by one the bright bayonets were loaded on the rifles.

"Chongya" The company commander waved the shell gun in his hand, and was the first to rush out of the trench, and the soldiers who got the order chased after the devil one by one like a tiger out of the mountain, and nine light machine guns also followed behind the devil, constantly spewing tongues of fire, harvesting the lives of the devils at the rear.

"Boom" An explosion sounded in the retreating formation of the devils. Suddenly, it caused a ghost crying wolf howl again. "Haha, the devil has encountered a treacherous mine set up by the soldiers. Comrades, take it as soon as you see it, stop the pursuit, immediately clean up the battlefield and retreat to your positions. The commander of the fourth company thought of the principle of poor and not chasing, and decisively gave the order to stop the pursuit. The soldiers strictly carried out the orders of the company commander, stopped the pursuit, and began to collect the weapons and ammunition scattered by the devils at the front of the position.

Looking at the piles of weapons and ammunition in front of him, the company commander couldn't help laughing. Haha, I made a lot of money this time, I annihilated so many devils with zero deaths, and I also captured so much equipment, haha, I really made a lot of money. The platoon commander immediately replenishes the ammunition just consumed from the captured ammunition, so that the ammunition reaches the pre-war base, and the remaining weapons are all transported to the command headquarters in the back, quickly. The commander of the fourth company immediately gave the order.

The commander of the fourth company was very happy, but at this time, the leader of the devil squadron, Lieutenant Kawada, only thought about committing suicide, the elite imperial army of his own squadron, and before he had contact with the squadron [***], he lost most of his own losses, and the reason for the loss was because of his own light enemy. Looking at the dozens of soldiers bustling in front of him, Kawada regretted for a while, "Yaga, hateful Shina, I will definitely kill you back, and use your blood to pay tribute to the jade broken imperial army warriors." "However, he is screaming, and he can't call back the lives of the two squads that lost their lives." Your Excellency the Captain of the report, Captain Guitian Shaozo of Li Cheng sent a telegram," the signal soldier interrupted Kawada in anger and said in fear.

"Nani." After listening to the words of the signal soldier, Kawada snatched the telegram from the signal soldier's hand with anger on his face and began to look.

Gradually, a smile began to appear on the angry face. , "Yo Xi, Captain Guitian is worthy of the work of the Imperial Warriors. Squadron Leader Kawada shouted loudly. It turned out that after receiving the telegram from the headquarters, the captain of the devil Li Cheng quickly transferred his troops to form two and a half squads of reinforcements, and brought two mountain guns and all the mortars of the only artillery squad in Li Cheng to reinforce Xiangtangpu under the personal leadership of the captain Guitian.

When the reinforcements of the army walked to the Dongyang Pass stronghold, they saw the empty stronghold, and immediately thought that Kawada had set off with his squadron, so he hurriedly sent a telegram to contact.

"Yo Xi, warriors, the captain of Licheng Guitian is coming with cannons, we can be ashamed and avenge the warriors of the Jade Shattered Empire, samurai, cheer up your spirits and welcome the reinforcements of Guitian Shaozuo." Looking at the soldiers below who had lost their fighting spirit, Kawada hurriedly told them the good news, hoping to improve the morale of the soldiers.

Sure enough, after listening to the squadron leader's words, some of the soldiers began to raise their heads, revealing murderous eyes. Soon, Kawada waited for the captain to return to Tian Shaozuo.

"Report to Your Excellency Shaozo, Lieutenant Kawada, the squadron leader of the Dongyang Pass stronghold, led the whole squadron of fighters to greet Your Excellency," Seeing Guitian on horseback, Kawada hurriedly brought his subordinates to greet him.

"Nani, Lieutenant Kawada, why do you only have a squad of soldiers, why are there still some injured, tell me quickly." Looking at the bustling devils of less than a squad in front of him, the captain Guitian asked suspiciously.

"Report to Your Excellency the Captain, we fell for the tricks of the soldiers of China, and the two squads of Huang Jun soldiers fell on the front position, in order to" Kawada told the captain in front of him about the battle encountered by his squadron, hoping that he could avenge himself.

"Nani, there is a squadron [***] in front, yo xi, order the troops to open the way, and the artillery will immediately build an artillery position and prepare for an artillery bombardment." The captain quickly looked happy and ordered excitedly.

"Hey," several squadron leaders next to him agreed, running towards their troops. The quality of the artillery was really different, and soon, two mountain guns, four mortars, and more than a dozen grenadiers were erected.

Due to the restrictions of the terrain, the soldiers who were 400 meters away did not see the devil's plan of action, and still lay in the trench and carefully observed the movements on the position.

"Woo" Suddenly a whistling sound of shells breaking through the air reached the ears of the soldiers, and the platoon commander of the company, who was particularly familiar with mountain artillery, showed a difficult face, "It's not good, the devil shells, hide immediately." The company shouted loudly, and the platoon commander next to him also shouted.

However, it was still too late, and one of the two mountain shells landed accurately on the position, and in an instant, several fighters were torn apart by the violent explosion, followed by four more mortar shells on the position, and suddenly, the whole position fell into chaos.

"Quick, quick, retreat to the second-line position, hurry!" Seeing the casualties of the troops, the company commander did not panic, gave a loud order, organized the soldiers to retreat, and soon, under the leadership of some squad and platoon commanders, the troops took the remains of the wounded and fallen comrades, and while dodging the shells of the devils, they withdrew from the front-line positions.

In the same way, the regimental commander Gao Yuan, who was in the rear, had been observing the situation of the position, and when he heard the whistling of shells and explosions, he immediately knew that a large army of devils was coming. At the same time, the artillery company behind the position was immediately ordered to immediately measure the position of the devil's artillery position and knock out the devil's artillery position.

After all, it is very difficult to measure the artillery position of the devil according to the trajectory of the Eighth Route Army, which does not have any advanced tools. It took at least a minute or more, and in this minute, the cannon that was enough for the devil to fire several rounds of shells Finally, the artillery company, under the constant urging of the regiment commander, adjusted the firing target, did not test fire, and directly covered it with artillery fire. "Open fire." The artillery company commander will move the small red flag in his hand. Suddenly, a deafening explosion sounded throughout the artillery position, and nine shells erupted from the muzzle with residual heat.

After a few seconds, bursts of explosions sounded on the devil's position, although the shooting effect could not be seen, but judging from the loudness of the sound, the expected effect must have been achieved. Because in the sound of the explosion, the explosion of a doctor was particularly large, and in order to achieve such an effect, it was impossible to rely on a single shell, and it must have detonated the devil's bullet. Hearing the explosion, the artillery company commander couldn't help but look happy, and then ordered, "Then load, fire freely at each gun position, and finish five shells in the shortest possible time." ”

Indeed, the artillery company correctly calculated the artillery position of the devil, and exactly four of the nine shells in the first round fell on the artillery position of the devil, and exactly one shell fell next to a box of mortar shells, and suddenly, the violent temperature of the explosion caused the mortar shells to explode. And with only four shells, the devil's artillery lost almost half of its combat effectiveness. "Baga, immediately transfer the position, quickly move the shells away" "Boom" An explosion drowned out the voice of the captain of the devil artillery squad, and the squad leader was thrown high

"Bage Yalu, the artillery fire of the [***] team is so fierce, Baga!" Seeing that the artillery position at the rear of the position lost its combat effectiveness under the two rounds of blows from the squadron [***], he immediately became furious and called Lieutenant Kawada next to him. "Lieutenant Kawada, your conscience is very bad, why does the opposite [***] team have such a powerful artillery fire, you didn't detect it, Yaga, my artillery, my artillery." "Two slaps hit Kawada in the face. Kawada could only bow his head aggrievedly and endure the hot slap.

Although the artillery was gone, the battle would continue, and Guitian Shaozo quickly calmed down and formed the remaining artillery and the remnants of Kawada's squadron into a reinforced squad, so that he almost had three squadrons of strength, enough to break through the position of the squadron. Thinking of this, Guitian, who had just been annoyed by the loss of the artillery, became excited again, "Order the troops to prepare for the attack immediately." The captain quickly gave the battle order.
