The news that the front-line troops were preparing to attack was transmitted back to Liaocheng as soon as possible, and while the headquarters of the Third Division, Wu Ming and Zhao Youde approved the attack plan, they also reported the news to Qiao Youhua and Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, who were far away in the base camp of the Pingshan base area.

After putting down the telephone, Qiao Youhua said thoughtfully: "Which one is this little devil singing?" ”

"How's that going?" Zuo Quan asked.

"This Japanese army rushed to Erlong Mountain and went on the defensive, as if it was deliberately trying to lure our army to besiege it." Qiao Youhua said.

"So, the devil did it on purpose?" Zuo Quan was very surprised when he heard this: "This can't be some kind of conspiracy, right?" Using a small force as bait to attack the east and west? ”

"It's also possible, but no matter what kind of conspiracy and tricks his little devil raises, we will first eat this Japanese army that fled to Erlong Mountain, kill their bait, and see what kind of fishing it takes." Qiao Youhua said.

"However, we also have to be well prepared in advance, just in case." Zuo Quan reminded.

"Well, immediately send a telegram to the first and second divisions of the Cangzhou and Baoding fronts, and order them to be vigilant in case of a surprise attack by the Japanese army." Qiao Youhua thought for a while and said, "If the 4th Division and the division headquarters guard regiment are transferred to the southern front, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the throat of the little devil." ”

"The 4th Division has not yet completed basic training, should it be transferred to the front now?" Zuo Quan hesitated a little.

"Brother Shuren, the battlefield is the best training ground, and if you train on the training ground for a year, it is better to pull out a real knife and a real gun to fight with the little devils, besides, the 4th Division is not all recruits, isn't there still thousands of veterans. Moreover, there is also a guard regiment, and this transfer can be regarded as tempering the tacit understanding between the recruits and veterans and the various troops.

Even if the devil has any tricks, the guard regiment will be in front, the more than 30,000 troops of the third division are not vegetarians, this little devil is like a snake that escaped into our urn, although it bites us, but it is also a way back.

As long as you eat them as fast as possible, no matter what conspiracy the devil intends to make, they will go bankrupt. ”

"Well, if it makes sense, just do what you say." Zuo Quan nodded happily, and then instructed Liu Ruhan: "Director Liu, immediately send a telegram to pass on the orders of the headquarters." ”

"Yes!" Liu Ruhan happily stood up and saluted, and then turned around and left.

…………

At the foot of Erlong Mountain, after obtaining the approval of the division headquarters, more than 3,000 dragon tooth infantry immediately launched an attack, but due to the restrictions of the terrain, the attacking troops could only dispatch more than 1,000 soldiers at a time.

The first step of the Third Division was Zhao Erniu, who was born in the guerrilla army, and at this time he had undergone crash course training at the Longya Military Academy, and with his experience in a hundred battles, he had become a capable general of the Third Division.

Seeing the officers and soldiers under his command rushing towards the Japanese position in Erlong Mountain like a tide, Zhao Erniu felt a little uneasy in his heart, after all, this battle was too hasty, and the artillery did not keep up.

However, after thinking about it, he put his mind at ease, after all, this is only a small group of Japanese troops, and there are only a thousand people to support the death, with the infantry equipment of the dragon's tooth column, has it not been a pressure on the little devil to fight that time? What's more, this time our side has an absolute superiority in troops, and it is inside the base area, so there is no need to worry about the future, and it is not a problem to have any supplies and ammunition and wounded.

Under the command and leadership of more than 1,000 dragon tooth infantry and several middle- and low-level officers, they roared in unison like a mountain and a sea, and rushed towards the Japanese defense line.

In a trench in the third line of defense, Kawaharu Osa had been holding a telescope to observe the enemy's situation, and when he saw the attacking troops of the Dragon's Tooth Column entering the range of his own fire, the old devil immediately turned his head and ordered an adjutant beside him: "Immediately open fire and shoot, tell the sù snipers, mainly shoot the machine gunners and commanders of the Chinese army." ”

"Hay." A devil Shaozuo bowed his head sharply and immediately conveyed the order to the telephone.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers received orders and opened fire.

For a while, the Garand semi-automatic rifles, Thompson submachine guns, Browning heavy machine guns, and light machine guns in the hands of the devils began to roar one after another.

A large number of bullets were densely packed like splashing water, forming a barrage of pieces, pouring towards the crowd of attack troops of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and many Dragon's Tooth soldiers were shot on the spot and died heroically.

As soon as the gunfire rang out on the devil's position, it surprised several major former enemy commanders such as Zhao Erniu, who had repeatedly fought with the Japanese army, because they could completely hear that this gunfire was by no means the 38 big cover, the 92-type heavy machine gun, and the Taisho-11-year light machine gun.

And it is not difficult to judge from the sound of gunfire that the density of the enemy's firepower is actually stronger than that of a regiment on his side, is it possible that the little devils are all armed with submachine guns and machine guns?

Zhao Erniu and the others were surprised and hurriedly raised their binoculars, if this is the case, then this Japanese army is not simple.

In the telescope, the attacking troops were covered by the powerful and dense fire of the Japanese army, and the losses were extremely heavy, and although the soldiers tried their best to shoot back, it seemed that the fire was completely unable to suppress the enemy.

Although the MG34 general-purpose machine gun has strong firepower, it is often hit by cold bullets one after another without firing a few shots, and unfortunately dies.

After a short confrontation between the two sides for more than ten minutes, more than 1,000 Longya attacking troops suffered more than one-third of the casualties, and Zhao Erniu had to order to stop the attack, immediately report the battle situation to the division headquarters, and request immediate support from the artillery unit.

Liaocheng.

After Wu Ming and Zhao Youde got the news, they were also very surprised, Wu Ming said: "It seems that this little devil is really not simple, and he came prepared." ”

"Yes, the firepower is even more powerful than the same size of our army, it seems that this is an elite Japanese army, but I don't know what kind of weapons they are equipped with." Zhao Youde nodded in agreement.

"With the current diplomatic situation of the little devil, in addition to the Soviet style, it is impossible, and the German, American, and British styles are all possible. With Japan's current national strength, it is not a problem to get a batch of equipment from the above-mentioned three countries and arm a small army in a short period of time. Wu Ming analyzed.

"If it's really American-style equipment, then what is the real purpose of the little devil's move this time? It is really elusive to attack one of our insignificant alert squads first, and then go west to Erlong Mountain to take the initiative to defend. Zhao Youde said.

"Whatever its true purpose is, the command's instructions are right, first concentrate forces to eat this Japanese army." Wu Ming immediately decided: "Immediately order the artillery units directly under the regiments and division headquarters to rush to Erlongshan to support and cooperate with the front-line troops to encircle and annihilate the Japanese invaders." In addition, the telegram ordered all other regiments and battalions to heighten their vigilance and pay attention to precautions, especially to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese troops on the other side of the Yellow River, and never allow the devils to quietly cross the river to the north and infiltrate our base areas. ”

"Yes." Zhao Youde suddenly agreed, and immediately turned around and left.
