By about six o'clock in the morning, all the units of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force had already set up their advanced and advanced and withdrawn to the city wall in batches through the underground tunnels in Guò, and defended the city wall.

At this time, the officers and men of the artillery battalion finally drove out a hundred unconscionable guns after a night of rushing work! The cooking classes of each battalion prepared breakfast for the soldiers while the sky was still not fully bright.

This is Qiao Youhua's meaning, to let the officers and soldiers eat and drink enough, recuperate, and then launch a fatal blow, clean and neat, completely eliminate the remnants of the Japanese outside the city, and win the victory in the defense of the base area.

It is conceivable that the next battle will be a continuous pursuit battle on an unprecedented scale, and the officers and soldiers may have a long time, and they will not have time to eat and rest, so it is still necessary to let the soldiers eat and drink enough before the battle begins.

"Regiment commander, all 100 conscienceless cannons have been prepared, and they are ready to be used in battle at any time." Ma Yunlong's bloodshot eyes came to Qiao Youhua's war room and saluted him.

Qiao Youhua poured him a cup of hot water and said with concern: "It's hard work, come and drink some water and rest for a while." ”

Ma Yunlong is now hungry and thirsty, and he is not polite, so he took the tea jar and sat down to rest.

Qiao Youhua took out another cigarette and handed it to him, and then said: "All the battalions have reported to me just now, they have all withdrawn into the city, and there are currently seven flying thunder cannons left in the third battalion, plus the first battalion and the second battalion, a total of 27.

That is to say, we currently have 127 unconscionable cannons, and all of these flying thunder cannons will be handed over to the artillery battalion for use, and then you will lead the artillery battalion into four, with 40 each at the west gate and the east gate, 30 at the north gate, and 17 at the south gate.

You should know better than me about the distribution of gunners and ammunitionmen, and you can do it yourself. ”

After a pause, Qiao Youhua continued: "Considering that the time for the Flying Thunder Cannon to reload ammunition is a little longer, when the cannon is fired, you can fire the cannon in batches, such as the east and west, with ten Flying Thunder Cannon as a group, fire the cannon in turn, finish the first round, fire the second round, and then take advantage of this opportunity to load ammunition in the first round, and so on."

And so on until all the Flying Thunder Cannons are scrapped! In this way, we can greatly maintain the continuity of powerful artillery fire, and with the explosives we have planted, the mines can inflict the most devastating blow on the devils. ”

Ma Yunlong solemnly nodded and wrote them down one by one, and said: "All the humble positions have been recorded, please rest assured, the regiment commander, we promise to complete the task." ”

Saying that, Ma Yunlong put down the tea jar, stood up and said: "Regiment commander, in order to ensure the effective range of the unconscionable cannon, I think it is appropriate to use the city wall as the first artillery group, this has to be prepared in advance, I will go and get busy first." ”

"Well, okay, go ahead, pay attention to concealment." Qiao Youhua nodded.

…………

At seven o'clock in the morning, on the Japanese position, Major General Aoki, who had already slept all night, was in a slightly better spirit, and after eating the cooking class and making breakfast, he reconvened his adjutant staff and began to continue the meeting that had not been discussed yesterday.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the food of the imperial army is running out, we can't just consume it senselessly, we must try our best to come up with a feasible battle plan, otherwise everyone here will not be able to escape the military law punishment of the front army headquarters!" Major General Aoki, who had regained his mood, said to everyone with a calm face.

The devil officers who attended the meeting all looked at each other, their faces were full of shame, this battle has been fought so far, the imperial army has hardly bargained, and the joy and excitement of breaking through the defense line of Dahe Village have long been greatly offset by the heavy casualties in the past two days.

Suffice it to say, these devil officers have now begun to retreat, and they don't want to continue this battle with no victory, because their opponents are too cunning.

It's so cunning and bad to have such a powerful mysterious cannon, and then it's only used until now.

Major General Aoki was very dissatisfied with the appearance of these officers under him, they can have war weariness, but as a major general's brigade commander, he can't, because he is the commander-in-chief of the front line in this battle, and if he is defeated, the front army headquarters and base camp will be the first to hold him responsible.

I believe that the guy Seishiro Itagaki will definitely push him out without any patience and use him as a scapegoat.

Therefore, others can retreat, but he can't, he can only fight hard, if he doesn't win, then he has only a dead end.

Thinking of this, Major General Aoki suddenly changed his gentle tone just now, stood up in vain, and said in a fierce voice: "Immediately launch another cluster attack, this time, if you don't capture the position of the Shina Army, you are not allowed to retreat!" Otherwise, they will all be shot on the spot, and they will all be killed! ”

Seeing that the brigade commander was angry, everyone could only stand up, and bowed their heads in response: "Hai! Immediately, they walked out of the tent of the headquarters and went to mobilize their respective troops.

This time, the 8th Brigade almost poured out of the nest, dispatching more than 3,000 combat troops, which is all the new force of the 8th Brigade today.

The devil soldiers marched forward in fear, but when they rushed to less than three hundred meters away from the countering position, they found that there was still silence in the position of the Zhina, and there was no resistance at all.

The officers at all levels of the devil were overjoyed, and urged their subordinates to speed up the charge, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, one hundred meters, seeing that they were about to rush into the position to deal with, but they were still not blocked.

All the devils were overjoyed in their hearts, and they quickened their pace, until they really rushed into the trenches of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, and then let out a cry of victory, and quickly divided their troops into the trenches to seize the entire defensive position in the west of the city.

Major General Aoki, who had already planned to break the cauldron and launch the final blow, so he didn't go to watch the battle, was smoking in his headquarters, but he didn't hear the expected gunfire for a long time, and it wasn't until he heard the faint cheers of the Imperial soldiers outside, and he got up and walked out of the command post with a surprised face.

"What's the situation?" Encountering a second lieutenant officer rushing towards him, Major General Aoki asked.

The second lieutenant officer couldn't help but say happily: "Your Excellency, good news, the imperial army has captured the field defense position in the west of the city of the Zhina people!" ”

"Nani? You repeat! Major General Aoki was taken aback, almost unable to believe his ears.

The second lieutenant officer said with a smile on his face: "The people of China took the initiative to abandon the outer positions and retreat to the city wall, and the imperial army captured their field defensive position in the west of the city. “

Major General Aoki reacted at this time, and he was instantly wrapped in the joy of a great victory, and he didn't care about thinking about it, and immediately said to the second lieutenant officer: "Order the troops, immediately attack in a roundabout way to the north and south, and notify all the imperial troops at the east, south, and north gates to attack immediately and seize the field defense positions of the Chinese army." ”
