Thousands of dragon-tooth officers and soldiers swarmed up and launched a tidal charge towards the devil's position.

On the Japanese position filled with gunsmoke, it didn't take long for sporadic firepower to shoot out one after another, and some of the dragon's tooth soldiers who rushed to the front were unfortunately shot and died on the spot.

However, the dragon's tooth warriors behind were not afraid at all, and continued to rush forward one after another while firing fiercely.

Because the devil was hit by the artillery fire of the dragon's tooth column beforehand, the loss of personnel and the damage to the fortifications were relatively severe, and in the face of the well-equipped dragon's tooth guard regiment, although they tried their best to resist, their own casualties were getting bigger and bigger.

The greater the casualties, the weaker the firepower, and after the battle lasted for more than an hour, the Dragon's Tooth Guard Regiment had already killed all the devils on its first line of defense, and was about to rush forward and occupy their positions.

In the city behind the devil's position, there was a sudden sound of artillery bombardment, and dozens of shells left arcs of flames in the air.

Blocked by the devil's artillery fire, the casualties of the attacking troops increased sharply, and at the same time, the city gate suddenly opened, and a group of devil infantry rushed out and joined the offensive and defensive battle.

Seeing this, Qiao Youhua immediately ordered the guard regiment to stop the assault and retreat temporarily.

After receiving the order, the officers and men of the guard regiment were unwilling, but they still acted according to the order and retreated like a tide.

It didn't take long for Zheng Yunshan to come to Qiao Youhua with a disgraced face: "Commander, why did you order a retreat, I was planning to take the forward position of the little devil in one fell swoop." ”

Qiao Youhua said: "The devil still has artillery, and he has sent troops to reinforce this side, and the casualties of the guard regiment will be very large if they are attacked, we have a ready-made artillery advantage, we can't let it go, let the soldiers sacrifice in vain." Let your people all have a good rest and watch the artillerymen perform first.

Half an hour later, strike again, no matter what, take the devil's forward position for me. ”

When Zheng Yunshan heard this, he immediately straightened up and said loudly: "Yes, please rest assured, the commander will ensure that the task is completed!" ”

Qiao Youhua nodded at him and waved his hand to signal him to go down to rest, Zheng Yunshan was ordered to leave, and Qiao Youhua instructed Li Yansan, the adjutant next to him: "Yansan, you go and inform Ma Yunlong and let him come to see me." ”

Li Yansan saluted, and immediately ordered to leave, not long after, the head of the air defense regiment, Ma Yunlong, ran over with him, saluted Qiao Youhua and said: "Commander, Ma Yunlong, the head of the air defense regiment, has come to report, please instruct." ”

Qiao Youhua said: "Yunlong, you should have seen the battle just now, the little devil deployed an artillery in the city, and suddenly opened fire when the guard regiment was about to attack, causing a lot of casualties to our attacking troops, and now I want you to send it to kill this devil artillery for me."

Clear the way for the attacking troops, and in the next attack, find ways to provide constant fire support for the attacking troops and help them break through the Japanese positions in one fell swoop. ”

Ma Yunlong frowned and said, "Yes!" I'm going to figure it out. ”

Qiao Youhua saw that his face was embarrassed, and asked, "What, is there a difficulty?" ”

Ma Yunlong nodded truthfully and said: "Yes, commander, I also watched the battle just now, the artillery of the little devil is hiding in the city wall, which belongs to the anti-slope deployment, in addition to the cover of the city wall, some bunker fortifications of the artillery position must also be deployed."

Even if our artillery can hit them accurately, it will be difficult to hurt them, unless the city wall is completely destroyed, with our current ammunition reserves and firepower, it is really difficult to collapse the wall of Cangzhou, a thousand-year-old city, even if the goal is achieved.

The consumption of ammunition for a while and a half, if it is not replenished in time, will affect the next battle, and in general, some gains outweigh the losses. ”

Listening to Ma Yunlong's analysis, Qiao Youhua nodded and said, "Then how do you plan to kill the enemy's artillery?" ”

Ma Yunlong thought for a while and said, "There is no good way for the time being, I'll go back and find a few subordinates to study and study." ”

Qiao Youhua said: "I have a way, you try to see." ”

Ma Yunlong's eyes lit up, he looked at Qiao Youhua and said, "Please advise the commander!" ”

"Half an hour later, I asked the guard regiment to organize another attack, you have experienced observers, carefully observe the location of the devil's artillery, and then mark it, and then carry out artillery strikes, you don't need to completely destroy them, as long as you can suppress them and prevent them from firing." Qiao Youhua said.

After listening to this, Ma Yunlong said: "Commander, with the artillery scale of our air defense regiment gathering all brigades and artillery units directly under the regiment, it is not a problem to suppress the Japanese artillery fire, but can this be done?" ”

Qiao Youhua said: "Don't worry, this time, the newly joined puppet army will also be incorporated into part of the guard regiment, and at any cost, the Japanese army's position outside the city will be taken. ”

Ma Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare." ”

At the same time, the offensive and defensive battles in other directions outside Cangzhou City also stopped, and the stubborn resistance of the devils was on the one hand, mainly the main attack was the Dragon Tooth Guard Regiment, and the main attack failed, and their feint troops naturally had to stop.

On the Japanese position at the south gate, which was the main battlefield, there were still bursts of gunpowder smoke everywhere at this time, and some fortifications destroyed by the explosion of artillery shells were still burning with flames and green smoke.

Some devils with ambulance towels wrapped around their arms were busy bandaging the injured devils, and some devils carried the more seriously injured soldiers to the city on stretchers, planks and other things.

In the entire position, there were wounded devil soldiers who were constantly wailing in pain, and the devil officers and soldiers who were not injured also looked solemn and depressed, which could be said to be a state of sorrow.

The morale is low to the extreme, and some middle-level officers are still trying their best to maintain the morale of the army, directing them to strengthen the fortifications, carry ammunition, organize equipment, and prepare for another battle.

Most of these devil officers are fanatical militarists who have been brainwashed by bushido, and they are the mainstay of the Japanese army invading China.

With their existence, even if a few devil soldiers were war-weary, they did not dare to come out and take any practical action.

They had to do as they were told, moving boxes of ammunition from the storage sites to the trenches.

Half an hour passed quickly, and after resting, the guard regiment finally received Qiao Youhua's order to attack again.

Ma Yunlong also personally led a group of capable artillerymen and prepared to observe the position of the Japanese artillery.

At the front of their queue, regiment commander Zheng Yunshan was armed with live ammunition and a military uniform, carrying an MP38 submachine gun in his left hand, standing solemnly, his eyes coldly swept over the subordinates present.

shouted loudly: "Brothers, the attack just now failed, many brothers were killed and wounded, and now the time has come for revenge, I order, the whole regiment will launch an attack and destroy the little Japan raised by his son of a bitch!" Avenge the fallen brethren! ”

Kill!!

As Zheng Yunshan shouted a murderous killing word, thousands of soldiers of the guard regiment immediately turned around, the infantry quickly lined up in the attack formation, and the artillerymen and machine gunners immediately prepared for fire support.

Then, rush towards the Japanese positions as fast as possible.

On the devil's position, a young man next to a commander of Dazuo noticed the abnormality and immediately reported to him: "Your Excellency Dazuo, the people of China have started attacking again. ”

Hearing this, the devil Dazuo immediately walked out of the semi-embedded command post, came to a trench, raised his binoculars and looked at the front of the position.

I saw thousands of officers and soldiers of the Dragon's Tooth Column, lined up in an offensive formation, rushing towards his position.

The devil Dazuo's face changed greatly, and he immediately shouted to the adjutant Shaozuo beside him: "Order all the brigades to fire immediately and block it with all your might!" ”

"Hay!" The devil Shaozuo hurriedly took the order to leave, and soon, nearly 2,000 devils on the position opened fire one after another.

Under the command of Zheng Yunshan and others, the officers and men of the charging guard regiment immediately opened fire and fired back, and for a time, there was a loud burst of gunfire on the battlefield, shouts of killing, and explosions one after another, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The two sides launched a fierce firefight, the Dragon's Tooth Guard Regiment relied on the advantage of firepower, regardless of casualties, and continued to press the Japanese position, when the situation became more and more unfavorable to the devil, the devil commander again asked for artillery support.

The devil artillery hidden in the city walls and in the courtyards of various houses opened fire one after another, and one after another the shells dragged the scarlet firelight, emitting bursts of sharp and piercing whistling sounds, flew past the Japanese positions, and fell towards the attacking crowd of the guard regiment.

Some of the charging guards could not dodge, and were blown upside down by the explosion, and died on the spot, but the fierce artillery fire of the devils did not frighten the brave soldiers of the guard regiment.

With grief and indignation, they roared over the bodies of their companions, and continued their charge as they opened fire.

And Ma Yunlong immediately ordered his elite artillerymen: "Quick, mark me with my heart, this is an opportunity that the brothers of the guard regiment have exchanged their lives for, and it must not be wasted!" ”

The soldiers of the guard regiment withstood the artillery fire of the devils, which lasted for more than ten minutes, and paid a lot of casualties, Qiao Youhua got a report from Ma Yunlong, saying that after completing the marking, he ordered them to retreat.

The two failed attacks cost hundreds of casualties, most of whom were newly recruited recruits, but also deeply angered and humiliated the veterans and officers of the Guard Regiment.

The revenge of the soldiers continued to ferment and expand, and several battalion and company commanders ran to the command post one after another, asking Qiao Youhua to fight with red eyes, asking for another attack, and promising to take the devil's position.

Qiao Youhua smiled and waved his hand and said: "I can understand your feelings, but give me a calm breath, wait for a while, after the artillery fires, you can attack, remember this time, only success is allowed, no failure is allowed, no one is allowed to retreat a step back if you don't take the Japanese position!" Violators will be severely punished! ”|
