When Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong returned to the camp headquarters, there was another roar of artillery explosions outside, and when they climbed to the roof of the camp headquarters, they could clearly see the scene north of the town.

The devil's artillery fire was raging on a series of positions, and there were fires and smoke rising everywhere, Qiao Youhua held the telescope and observed for a while and said: "The devil's shelling this time is targeted, fortunately, we have been prepared for a long time and strengthened the fortifications, and the 70mm caliber artillery cannot destroy it, otherwise we will suffer." ”

Jiang Haidong on the side said: "It stands to reason that the Japanese devils have not yet assembled their troops, so it is a bit unreasonable to attack in such a hurry?" Or is it that Seishiro Itagaki is so arrogant that he thinks he can break through our defenses with only 10,000 troops? ”

Qiao Youhua pondered for a while and said: "This is not enough, the devil may just attack tentatively, look at our defense in Erdaogou, if you can take it, it doesn't matter if you can't take it, at least it creates trouble for us, doesn't it?" ”

Jiang Haidong smiled and said, "That's the same." ”

"After this round of shelling, the devils will definitely launch another attack, and the scale must be larger than the previous one, otherwise this round of shelling will be meaningless, send a group of grenadiers up to assist the company to retreat from the enemy." Qiao Youhua instructed.

Nowadays, the grenadier is a must-have small artillery for squad-platoon combat units in the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, and it forms the backbone of fire with light machine guns, and in defensive warfare, it is best used to hit the enemy's attacking crowd.

"The artillery platoon of the battalion headquarters can also participate in the war, and if they want to fight, they will hurt little Japan, so that they will have no return!" Jiang Haidong said. The artillery platoon directly under his battalion is equipped with a lot of 60mm mortars, which may not be able to attack the fortifications, but they are used to deal with the devil's infantry.

Coupled with the grenadier canister, the combination of medium and short-range firepower makes up for each other, which is definitely enough for the little devil to drink a pot.

Qiao Youhua nodded with a smile, raised the telescope again and continued to observe the battle situation.

This time, the devil's shelling lasted for more than 20 minutes before it began to extend, and the thick smoke of gunpowder shrouded the position of the company, and a group of dragon's tooth grenadiers quickly assembled along the communication trench, among them, in addition to the grenadiers of each company and platoon, there were also those who were ordered to rush from the town to reinforce.

More than twenty grenadiers, lined up, were ready for firing in a wide trench that had been reserved. At the same time, the twelve 60mm mortars equipped with the artillery platoon directly under the 1st Battalion also received Jiang Hai's order and made a good preparation.

Twelve mortars lined up in two rows in front of and behind the streets of the town, with their muzzles slanted, and a group of artillerymen and ammunitionmen prepared blasting shells ready to fire at any time.

On the Japanese position, about 1,000 Japanese soldiers, under the leadership of a devil Shaozuo, quietly attacked, and a large area of black pressure rushed towards a company of positions like a tide.

Qiao Youhua stood at a high place and was assisted by a high-powered telescope, so he discovered the devil's movements for the first time, and immediately said to Jiang Haidong: "The mortar can be fired!" ”

Jiang Haidong immediately turned around and waved his hand violently, and a herald quickly transmitted the order to the mortar platoon, and the artillerymen who were waiting for it immediately loaded one high-explosive shell after another into the chamber.

First there was the sound of a cannonball smoothbore, followed by a to......m to A deafening muffled sound sounded one after another, and twelve cannonballs were discharged one after another, with a long tail flame, emitting a piercing whistling sound, drawing a dazzling arc in the sky, falling towards the heads of the attacking crowd of devils.

俅俅俅俅...... Boom Boom Boom......

Twelve high-explosive shells landed and exploded one after another, and a large number of shrapnel suddenly raged among the Japanese attacking crowd with the shock wave.

"Ahhhh......h

Looking forward from the roof where Qiao Youhua was, you could see clouds of flames and gunpowder smoke blooming and rising in the crowd of devils, and from time to time, some devil soldiers were blown up and flew out of the distance and fell to the ground.

"Haha, well done, these **** people, also taste the taste of being bombed!" On the first company position, Liu Yidao, the commander of the first company, couldn't help but laugh excitedly.

Suddenly shelled, the devil soldiers suffered many casualties, but the speed was increased in vain, so that the originally maintained straggler formation would be somewhat chaotic, and the artillery platoon of the first battalion continued to shell.

The casualties of the devils are greater than before, and they are still rising.

"There is an order from the regimental seat, grenadiers, fire immediately!" A soldier in charge of the phone beside Liu Jianhua put down the phone and said to Liu Jianhua.

Liu Jianhua smiled when he heard this: "Order the grenadier to fire with all its might, and blow up the little Japan raised by the son of a bitch for Lao Tzu!" Ha ha! ”

After receiving the order, the grenadiers who had been waiting for a long time opened fire one after another, and small grenades were fired one after another, making up for the gap in the mortars' firepower.......

It was just a head-on blow to the crowd of devils who were speeding up, and the explosions made the devil soldiers scream and fall in pieces.

On the Japanese position, Takagi Tanji witnessed this qiē, gritted his teeth angrily, and his eyes were split, he thought that the opponent had been prepared for a long time and had good combat effectiveness, but he did not expect that the Dragon Tooth Task Force also had so many artillery, and it was so skillful and cunning.

In particular, the application of grenadiers simply caused devastating damage to the attacking troops, and the dense salvo of twenty grenadiers, coupled with the bombardment of mortars, their own attacking troops were iron, and they could not withstand such dense firepower.

As a result, the officers and men of Liu Jianhua's company also opened fire one after another, and none of the light and heavy firepower points were destroyed, and they did not lose any combat effectiveness at all.

A large number of bullets rained down and poured out, and the Japanese army, which had suffered heavy casualties, was immediately hit with the most violent massacre.

The devil soldiers, who had already been too late to evade the artillery fire, began to fall in pieces like wheat that had been cut down.

It was only at this time that Tataji Takagi understood why the commander of the division, who had always been arrogant, was so cautious this time, because their opponents were indeed very strong and difficult to deal with.

The commander of the 11th Infantry Wing next to him also saw that the defeat was inevitable, and hurriedly said to Takagi Duanji: "Your Excellency, the people of China are very well guarded, this attack is meaningless, do you want the 1st Infantry Brigade to retreat?" ”

"Well, stop the attack, withdraw to Shimen to rest and stand by, and I will personally explain the situation to His Excellency the division commander." Takagi Tanji finished speaking with a solemn expression, and immediately turned to leave.

The commander of the 11th Wing hurriedly ordered the heralds to retreat, and as the Japanese command flag waved, the devil soldiers who were being strangled and slaughtered by the artillery and machine-gun fire of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force in front finally stopped their senseless attack, leaving nearly 200 corpses and retreating like a tide.
