Chapter 839: Battle of Shouyang (2)

Whoosh ...... A dense rain of bullets roared towards the more than 100 dragon tooth warriors, and the two warriors who rushed in front couldn't dodge for a while, and unfortunately were hit by bullets and fell to the ground and died.

was intercepted by devil fire, and the lieutenant deputy company commander immediately raised the box gun in his hand, pulled the trigger continuously, and at the same time ordered: "Fire, hit hard!" ”

More than 100 dragon tooth warriors, with various weapons in their hands, opened fire one after another.

Fierce firepower with the devils, almost everyone is injured or killed at every moment.

In the trenches in the distance, Liu Yidao and several of his officers were holding binoculars at the moment, observing the situation on the battlefield, and through the binoculars, they found that the devil's fire extended from the base of the city wall to the foot of the mountain in the northeast corner of the city.

It is more than two miles long and a distance of more than 1,000 meters, and for such a long distance, if the devil wants to maintain an even density of firepower, he must have at least a thousand troops.

However, due to the limitations of the terrain, the number of troops that can be invested by one's own side is only one or two thousand at best, and in local battles, it does not occupy much advantage in terms of troops.

Seeing that the purpose of the temptation had almost been achieved, Liu Yidao put down the binoculars and ordered one of his subordinates: "Let the third company retreat, the first battalion is ready to attack!" Ask the artillery regiment for artillery support! ”

"Yes!" An adjutant hurriedly stepped forward, turned around and hurried away.

A moment later, the small force that was braving the dense fire of the devils to test the attack, received the order, and immediately took the lead in withdrawing, and the bodies of some of the soldiers who died were also saved by other soldiers who risked their lives.

Not long after the exploratory attacking troops retreated, on the other side, an infantry regiment led by Zhou Dasheng also arrived at the battlefield and began to launch a tentative attack on the Japanese army northwest of the city.

The artillery regiment also arrived in time at this time, and after receiving the request of Liu Yidao's department, it immediately began to build artillery positions and erect artillery, and it didn't take long for nearly 100 howitzers and field artillery to prepare for shelling.

After about half an hour, the tentative assault on the northwest of the city was over, and the observers marked as many and accurate fire targets as possible for the artillery units on the Devil's defensive line.

Subsequently, the artillery regiment fired hundreds of artillery shells in unison, and hundreds of shells pierced the sky covered by dark clouds like a swarm of meteors, and fired fiercely at the Japanese defense line in the northeast of the city.

俅俅俅俅...... The sound of the cannonballs breaking through the air from the high-speed flight whirred and then fell fiercely.

A violent explosion followed, setting off clouds of fire and dust.

Most of the defensive positions that the devils rushed to repair overnight in Shouyang were civil fortifications, which could not withstand the bombardment of artillery with a caliber of more than 60mm, let alone the 75mm guns installed by the artillery regiment of the Longya Column.

The first wave of shells fell, and the bunkers where dozens of devils were located were destroyed by the shock wave, and the devils inside were either killed or injured, and the stumps and broken arms were raging along with the dirt and wood chips, which was terrible to see.

Some junior and middle-ranking officers of the Japanese army, carrying sabers and holding Wang Ba boxes, braved artillery fire and ran back and forth in the trenches in an attempt to stabilize the morale of the army.

After ten rounds of artillery bombardment, the artillery regiment stopped the shelling and turned its guns to the northwest of the city, preparing to provide artillery support for Zhou Dasheng's headquarters.

And on the Japanese position in the northeast of the city, at this moment, it seems that it has been plowed by an iron plow, yes, and there is fire and smoke everywhere.

Many devils with white cloth on their armbands came out of a hole in the city wall, carried stretchers, and carried the wounded devils in the trenches away urgently, and sent them to the field hospital in the city for treatment.

At the sound of Liu Yidao's order, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of Longya launched a charge against the Japanese position with rifles, submachine guns, general-purpose machine guns and other weapons.

The shouts of the soldiers who stepped forward shook the heavens and the earth, swarming like a storm and waves, and in the devil's trenches, some Japanese officers began to shout hysterically at the top of their throats: "Get up, hurry, hurry up, get ready to attack!" ”

The devil soldiers, who were not killed by the shells, began to crawl out of their bunkers, urgently checked their weapons and ammunition, and began to prepare for battle.

Thousands of dragon tooth officers and soldiers rushed over the mountains shouting and rushing over, making many of the devil soldiers who had returned from the defeat at Niangzi Pass a little timid, and their movements were somewhat flustered.

It wasn't until some devil officers walked past them, shouting and scolding, that they gradually returned to normal, the infantry, pulling the bolt and pushing the bullet into the chamber, the grenadier opened the ammunition box, held the small grenade in his hand, and held the grenadier in the other hand, ready to fire.

Kilometers, 800 meters, 500 meters, 200 meters, as the officers and soldiers of the dragon tooth rushed closer and closer, a Zhongsa officer in the Japanese trench sonorously pulled out the officer's knife he was wearing, and waved it forward violently and shouted: "Shoot, fire!" Kill all these people! ”

"Dada...... Sudden ...... In an instant, hundreds of rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and pistols opened fire one after another, and for a time the bullets were as dense as raindrops, whistling and shooting head-on.......

As soon as the gunshots rang out on the devil's side, the officers and soldiers of the dragon teeth who were charging bent their waists one after another, reducing their bullet area as much as possible, and at the same time their feet accelerated in vain, and they began to sprint rapidly with their guns in their hands one by one.

The devil's bullets roared, most of them passed through the cracks between the dragon's tooth officers and soldiers, and shot into the ground, of course, there were also a few dragon's tooth warriors, who were unfortunately hit by the bullets.

They fell down one after another and died heroically.

However, more officers and soldiers of the Dragon's Tooth were able to continue to charge, and at the same time, they did not forget to use the weapons in their hands to launch a fire counterattack against the devils.

The MG34 general-purpose machine gun and MP18 submachine gun once again exerted their superior performance, completely destroying the fire point composed of the Japanese army's Type 92 heavy machine gun and crooked light machine gun.

After a round of firepower, the opponent was easily suppressed, providing a strong guarantee for the charge of the officers and men of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

Soon, the two sides got closer and closer, and after paying about more than 100 casualties, the dragon tooth column finally rushed to this area thirty to fifty meters in front of the devil's position.

In addition to the fierce exchange of fire with machine guns, submachine guns, rifles and other weapons on both sides, grenades have also become the main means of killing the enemy, and the bombardiers on both sides frantically throw bombs at each other at every opportunity.

The battlefield was blown up with smoke and dust, and from time to time people were hit by shrapnel and died on the spot.

Soon, about seven or eight hundred devil soldiers, led by their officers, suddenly rushed out of the trenches, armed with rifles equipped with bright bayonets, and launched a counter-charge against the attacking dragon's tooth troops.

Because the distance between the two sides was less than thirty or forty meters at that time, they were very close, and they were in a fierce exchange of fire, after the devils paid some casualties, they were short-handed and strangled together in an instant.
