At a distance of thirty meters, both sides threw a dense round of grenades at each other's positions almost simultaneously ...

Raindrops of grenades, you come and go, begin to explode on their respective positions. In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield was once again enveloped in the smoke of grenades and the sound of explosions.

Under the cover of the gunpowder smoke generated by the grenade explosion, the two infantry regiments stationed on the position, after experiencing several rounds of grenade rain, did not hesitate at all, directly raised the rifles with bayonets in their hands, and launched a counter-charge against the Lao Maozi attacking troops who were close at hand under the order of division commander Xie Yunhui.

"Bang bang bang...bang bang..."

The two torrents composed of their respective soldiers collided directly and fiercely. The light and heavy machine guns, which were responsible for providing fire cover in the rear of their respective positions, also stopped at the same time as agreed in order to avoid accidental damage. Suddenly, the sound of guns and cannons that shrouded the battlefield directly became weaker. Instead, there were the shouts of their respective soldiers, the clashing of guns, the sound of cold gunfire from time to time, the sound of grenade explosions...

"Division commander, after a few rounds of grenades, the two infantry regiments have less than 3,500 men left...... The two teams quickly fought together, and the chief of staff also reported the casualties of the front-line combat units with a sad face at the first time.

The two infantry regiments have only 3,500 people left until now, which directly means that the two infantry regiments that are holding their positions have suffered almost 2,000 casualties after the grenade explosion just now and the previous Lao Maozi tank attack. In addition, an infantry regiment was lost due to the bombing and artillery fire of the Lao Maozi Air Force. Less than an hour after the battle began, one of its main divisions. Before it really ran into Lao Maozi's attacking troops, it paid a direct loss of almost 5,000 people.

"Lao Wang, our 136th Division has suffered heavy losses, and Lao Maozi on the other side has not obtained any benefits... You see, Lao Maozi was in charge of an infantry regiment for the attack. There are only about a thousand troops left. Of the more than a hundred tanks, only about thirty remained. You have to be clear that this was achieved without the sortie of our aircraft and heavy artillery. ”

"You wait, once our air force and artillery attack, it will be the end of Lao Maozi on the other side... Command troops. Quickly eliminate Lao Maozi's attacking troops. Then, withdraw from the battlefield and leave no one behind. Anyway, the position has been blown up, and the crater in front of us can be used as our position..."Division Commander Xie Yunhui ordered with a murderous face.

"Yes, Master..."

The tall and tall old Maozi infantry had a great advantage in fighting bayonets. But. In the face of the Chinese army that came out of the battlefield of resistance against Japan, experienced a long time of blood and fire, and has developed the ability to fight stabs. Their men were tall and large, and in front of the triangular stabbing formations put on by the Chinese army, they were sent to death. Hardly anything.

The whole stabbing lasted less than twenty minutes, and the old Maozi soldiers, who were still dense just now, were killed one after another and fell to the ground. As for the remaining hundreds of old Maozi, under the threat of the Chinese army's terrifying white-knuckle warfare, they have already been frightened to the point of turning white. Ignoring the orders of the commanders around him, he began to quickly retreat back......

"Not good. Lao Maozi wants to escape....order the troops, immediately pursue and blow up all the remaining tanks of Lao Maozi. Then withdraw from the battlefield and immediately go to convey the order...."Division Commander Xie Yunhui, who found out about the changes on the battlefield, ordered with an excited face.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by Lao Maozi's retreat, coupled with the cover of the meat shields made by Lao Maozi with his own body in front of the soldiers. Stopped on the edge of the hand-to-hand combat battlefield, more than thirty tanks that had not yet had time to turn. Directly drowned in the torrent of charges of the two infantry regiments of the 136th Division.

"Boom, boom, boom...", a dense explosion sounded, more than thirty tanks. Without exception, all were blown into ruins.

The explosion sounded, and the dense Chinese army, directly ignoring the remnants of Lao Maozi, who was fleeing faster and faster in front of them, directly began to retreat backwards. Suddenly, the torrent of charge, which was still mighty just now, directly resided like waves rushing onto the beach, quickly retreated and disappeared on the battlefield.

The annihilation of a heavy tank regiment and the huge loss of an infantry regiment that was almost annihilated directly stimulated the most primitive bestiality in the hearts of the former enemy commander of the Soviet Union.

The hundreds of Lao Maozi infantry who were lucky enough to retreat had not yet recovered their strength, and they became the target of their commanders to vent their anger. As a result, more than 300 old Maozi soldiers, under the angry gaze of the commander of the Soviet Red Army, were all executed on the charge of fearing the enemy on the battlefield...

After venting his dissatisfaction with the troops, Lao Maozi began to vent his anger on the 46th Army in front of him....

Another Soviet Air Force unit of another aviation division appeared in the sky over the battlefield.

In order to complete their own bloody revenge, more than seventy bombers, directly half of the number, all carried incendiary bombs that had great damage to the position, and were very cruel ... As for the more than 300 heavy guns of the rear artillery cluster, they were all changed to fire incendiary bombs on the orders of the division commander. Prepare to use the fire to burn the blocking position of the 46th Army to a black charcoal. With the flames, all the Chinese troops on the position were burned to ashes.......

In less than ten minutes, the blocking position of Nuoda was completely enveloped by raging flames.

"Master, I really didn't expect that the hateful old Maozi would use an incendiary bomb... Thankfully, we retreated in time and did not leave a single person in our position. Otherwise, those who stay behind will definitely be burned by Lao Maozi...."Looking at the scene in front of him, the division chief of staff said with a palpitating face.

"What about the casualties of the troops, how many soldiers are still in the division....In addition, how many anti-tank weapons do we have in our hands. Judging from the attack just now, in Lao Maozi's new round of offensive, at least one regiment of heavy tanks will be dispatched..."Division Commander Xie Yunhui, who had a solemn face, asked directly after retracting his gaze from the flames.

"Very miserable..."Speaking of the casualties of the troops, the face of Huang Liqing, the chief of staff of the division, was directly shrouded by a gloomy expression at the first time.

After a short period of contemplation, he said with a low face: "The strength of the whole division is more than 10,000 before the war. So far, there are more than 4,300 people left. Excluding all the technical arms, the real infantry, there are less than 3,000 people left. As for anti-tank weapons, all anti-tank guns. All lost in the battle just now... Bazooka, there are more than forty ...... left"

"Only then did we repel Lao Maozi's attack, and we had already lost two-thirds of our total strength....?" Xie Yunhui asked with a shocked expression.

"Yes, division commander....", the division chief of staff said affirmatively.

Less than 3,000 troops, plus more than 40 bazookas. If behind the plane and heavy artillery and just the same. Likewise, they can't provide themselves with long-range fire support. Xie Yunhui can be sure that with these remaining forces alone, he will definitely not be able to stop the offensive of Lao Maozi's steel torrent. Of course, even if it is blocked by luck, then its 136th Division will face the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

Thinking of this, Xie Yunhui's face directly showed a solemn expression. He said: "Lao Wang, with only my own ability of the 136th Division, it is very difficult to block Lao Maozi's next round of offensive. You immediately report our situation to the commander and see what the commander has to say. Be quick..."

"Yes, Commander......"

The military headquarters of the 46th Army saw the telegram from Xie Yunhui's 136th Division, and the atmosphere in the entire headquarters also became solemn as agreed. To be clear, it is on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. Never before has a single main division fought at such a great cost in such a short time. And now, in less than an hour of fighting, such a huge loss was paid. This had to make Chen Hong and the others shocked and stunned...

After some contemplation, for the sake of the 136th Division on the front line, in order to hold the position. Army Commander Chen Hong said directly: "Chief of Staff, the 136th Division is already in danger. And we must not let Lao Maozi break through our position. To know. This is a death order from the commander-in-chief to my 46th Army. The 138th Division was ordered to immediately transfer the strength of a regiment. Reinforcement of the 136th Division......"

"In addition, the little devil plane in the sky is really annoying. Where is our air force, order the Air Force 013 Division to launch an attack on the main force of the Soviet army as soon as possible and attract the Lao Maozi fighters back.

"Contact the commander-in-chief and ask when follow-up air reinforcements will arrive. It is required that after the follow-up air reinforcements arrive, they will immediately go to the battlefield to relieve the pressure on the infantry. At the same time, as many divisions of fighters as possible, find and destroy the Lao Maozi heavy artillery cluster......"

"At the same time, inform our heavy artillery units that once the Lao Maozi heavy artillery cluster is destroyed by our fighters. It is necessary to provide the most timely and fierce artillery support to the front-line infantry in the shortest possible time ...

"Also, report the current situation facing our 46th Army to the commander-in-chief immediately. It is hoped that the commander-in-chief will order the follow-up troops to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible and speed up the reinforcements. Otherwise, our 46th Army is in danger, and its position is in danger......."

"Yes, Commander, I'll send a telegram at once," replied the Chief of Staff with a serious face.

"The 46th Army is in danger, the position is in danger......" on a military train leading to Inner Mongolia. I saw a few words in the telegram that pierced my eyes. Liu Hua, who has a certain understanding of Commander Chen Hong, knows that as a veteran of the battlefield who has experienced the Long March and the War of Resistance Against Japan, if it were not really at a critical moment, he would never have sent such an urgent telegram for help.

For a while, Liu Hua's face was quickly shrouded in a heavy look.

Although before the war, he had overestimated Lao Maozi's combat effectiveness as much as possible, and overestimated their three-dimensional offensive power as much as possible. However, now it seems that in the absence of air force support and artillery support in their own troops, all the overestimation is not valid.

And now, in order to solve the crisis of the 46th Army, in order to avoid the final decisive battle, the battlefield will go deeper into the country again. Holding the 46th Army's blocking position is definitely an urgent need for its own delay. Thinking of this, Liu Hua directly put his eyes on the huge combat sand table in the carriage, and asked the surrounding combat staff officers.

"Staff Officer Wang, immediately mark the progress of each unit on the map....In addition, tell me which unit is closest to the battlefield and when the air reinforcements will arrive on the battlefield..."
