Niu Sigen and Niu Yucousin were also awakened by the fierce gunshots.

The three punches can be heard, Niu Sigen can naturally hear it even more, and the gunfire on the opposite side sounds fierce, in fact, it is just the sound of a few firecrackers exploding in foreign oil barrels, and the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui often uses this trick in order to confuse the enemy on the battlefield due to lack of ammunition.

"Big brother, you are really a god, you said that the 19th detachment would come over tonight, they really came, you said that the target of the 19th detachment was the small Japanese artillery, and they really went to the small Japanese artillery." Niu Yutang also heard it, the 19th detachment didn't want to fight with the Longkou mixed brigade at all, and the attack on the small Japanese artillery in front was the right fight, and the 19th detachment even used artillery.

"What's this?" Niu Sigen shook his head and said in a low voice, "If I am Xu Nineteen, I will also use the artillery of Little Japan, as long as I defeat the artillery of Little Japan, the firepower of this sweep will be weakened a lot, and the Nineteenth Detachment will have a chance to turn defeat into victory, but ......"

Seeing that Niu Sigen only said half a sentence, Niu Yutang couldn't help but ask, "But what's the matter?" ”

Niu Sigen sighed and said: "But if the nineteenth detachment wants to defeat the little Japanese artillery, I'm afraid it's not so easy, Haneda's old devil's gendarmerie won't say it first, I'm afraid that Yan Sanquan will not stand idly by, this bastard and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army have the hatred of killing his father and destroying his family." ”

Before the words fell, a guard came over to report that Yan Weixin, the deputy commander of the mixed brigade and the commander of the L regiment, had come over

Yan Weixin's intention was exactly the same as Niu Sigen's guess, Yan Sanquan really didn't want to stand idly by, and really asked Niu Sigen to lead his troops to attack the opposite southern Anhui to resist Japan and save the country.

Yan Weixin went back after conveying the order, but Niu Sigen and Niu Yutang were in a dilemma.

In any case, Yan Sanquan is the commander of the mixed brigade, if he doesn't attack, it will be a blatant disobedience, if it is in peacetime, there will be Haneda to support Niu Sigen, but now, to let Haneda know that he will not save himself when he sees death, this old devil will not only not support himself, but he is afraid that he will be shot immediately.

On the one hand, after all, he was once a member of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, even if he is against the water now, there is no need to make a fuss, right? On the other hand, Niu Sigen knows the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and if he really wants to fight, he may not be able to win it

"Big brother, what now?" Seeing that Niu Sigen couldn't make up his mind, Niu Yutang became anxious.

Niu Sigen sighed and said with a wry smile: "In this situation, it seems that it is impossible not to fight, but later you will quietly tell your brothers that when you get to the battlefield, you will raise the muzzle of your guns and fight at the sky, in addition, don't save bullets, the more intense the fight, the better, don't let Little Japan pick on us." ”

"Got it, brother, then I'll go."

The attack of the nineteenth detachment was very sudden, and the artillery of small Japan could be said to be unprepared.

Moreover, as Fujido Takaei feared, the little Japanese artillery was a jishu class after all, let them measure the range, let them correct the angle of fire or ballistic point, that is a familiar way, let them shoot with a rifle, let them fight with the opponent bayonet, then it is not their strong point.

Artillery is artillery, even if it has received strict military training, it is still not comparable with infantry in the real sense, because if you want to grow into an excellent infantryman, in addition to strict military training, you also need cruel combat training, to put it bluntly, if you have not stabbed someone with a bayonet at close range, then it is impossible to become a qualified infantryman.

In addition, the artillery of Little Japan was already very tired from marching during the day, and there were Haneda Brigade and the Longkou Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army nearby to protect it, so the fortifications were not repaired very carefully.

Again, this is the difference between artillery and infantry.

The infantry will not slack off at any time because they have to face the enemy's attack directly, and even if they are as tired as dogs, they will still build fortifications meticulously, because they know very well that fortifications are their survival guarantee, but artillery, which rarely faces the enemy's attack directly, so they are less dependent on fortifications.

Under the accumulation of various factors, Liu Changqing's company quickly broke through the outer defense line of the artillery brigade.

However, little Japan also reacted quickly, and under the command of Ikeda Shaosa, the commander of the artillery brigade, put up desperately resistance, although the Ikeda brigade was artillery, there were more than 500 people, and most of them were fanatical militarists, who rushed over with grenades at every turn, and did not hesitate to die with the officers and men of the 19th detachment

Liu Changqing organized several charges, all of which were disintegrated by Ikeda's brigade.

Little Japan's pack horses, shells and cannon parts were piled up like a hill in front, but the troops just couldn't rush up, they just couldn't blow them up, Liu Changqing was so anxious that his mouth exploded, and when he saw that several charges were pushed back, Liu Changqing became angry, and he was the first to rush up with a Thomson submachine gun.

While the middle battlefield was in a stalemate, the Haneda Brigade was storming the nameless mountain beam guarded by the battalion.

The old devil Haneda has realized that he has made a serious empirical mistake, and he thought that the Ikeda brigade would be as stable as Mount Tai if he protected the belly of the gourd, but he did not expect that the cliffs on the left and right sides had become the biggest defensive hole, and in the face of the sudden night attack of the nineteenth detachment, the old devil Haneda was almost stunned.

In less than ten minutes, the infantry squad that was the first to attack was beaten back, and only six or seven of the more than 40 Japanese soldiers who attacked escaped alive, and the firepower of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui was beyond imagination, and Haneda never expected that after more than half a year of blockade, the other side could still have such a strong firepower output.

Haneda was so angry that he immediately ordered the commander of the army who fled to commit suicide in public.

Frightened by this, Haneda's brigade strengthened its fighting spirit, and Haneda took advantage of the situation to throw in an entire infantry squadron and launched a decisive charge against the opposite mountain beam.

However, unfortunately, the firepower of the nineteen detachments on the opposite side was too fierce.

At least four Maxim heavy machine guns, at least twenty crooked or imitation Czech light machine guns, and at least 500 rifles of various types, the bullets fired violently intertwined into a tightly knit barrage in an instant, and from a distance, you could see dazzling tracer lights everywhere under the night sky, which was suffocatingly beautiful.

However, in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers who were charging forward with bayonets, this tightly closed brilliant tracer was the sickle of death, and once it was touched, it would either die or be seriously wounded, and in the blink of an eye, the entire squadron that had thrown itself into the attack had lost a small half, and the wavy skirmish line was even more sparse.

Fujido Takaei also received a telegram from the Ikeda Brigade for help at the first time, and the old devil did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the Independent Infantry UU Brigade to rush back to the Hulu Valley.

After the UU Brigade of the Independent Infantry was deployed, Fujido Takahide made contact with Haneda through walkie-talkie, and learned that the Haneda Brigade was blocked from attacking, and although it was only less than 500 meters away from Ikeda's Brigade, it was impossible to rush through it alive or dead, and Fujido Takaoying realized the seriousness of the problem.

Ikeda's 14th Independent Artillery Brigade was almost irreplaceable for the 14th Brigade of Independent Mixed Brigades.

It didn't matter if any infantry brigade was heavily damaged by the 19th Detachment, but if Ikeda's brigade made a mistake, the firepower of the 14th Brigade would immediately be weakened by one level, and then the 14th Brigade would only be able to rely on light mortars and grenadiers to deal with the firepower of the 19th Detachment.

In addition, Ikeda's 14th Independent Artillery Brigade was temporarily transferred from the artillery wing of the 33rd Division by Kazuichiro Sonobe, and after this sweep, Ikeda's Brigade had to be returned to its formation, and if something happened now, Takahide Fujido would not be able to explain it in front of Kazuichiro Sonobe.

Therefore, there must be no accidents for the Ikeda brigade

Otherwise, his military career may also come to an end

At the juncture where there was nothing to be done, Fujido Gaoying pinned Zuihou's hopes on the Longkou Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army, and the Longkou Mixed Brigade of Yan Sanquan was not equipped with a radio, let alone a step talk, so Fujitang Gaoying could not directly talk to Yan Sanquan, but could only convey orders to Yan Sanquan through the Haneda Brigade.

"Haneda-san, you immediately send someone to contact the Longkou Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, and tell Yan Sanquan, remember, it's a telling, not an order, please tell Yan-san, as long as he can keep the Ikeda Brigade, I will expand the Longkou Mixed Brigade into the Longkou Garrison Division tomorrow, and let him be the division commander tomorrow."
