The 14th Brigade of the Japanese Army Independently Mixed Camp stayed overnight at the Longxugou stronghold, pulled out the camp early the next morning, and rushed to the direction of Longkou County again, entering Longkou from the Longxugou stronghold.

This time, it is no longer a guerrilla-style harassment war, but a serious positional warfare, a blocking war.

The forward units of the 14th Brigade of the Separate Mixed Brigade launched a tentative attack, as a result of which they were routed.

When Fujido Takaoying went up to the forward observation post with his saber on his shoulder, he saw Tada, the captain of the 57th Independent Infantry Brigade, reprimanding one of his squadron leaders, and the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had five independent infantry brigades, namely the 56th, 57th, 58th, 59th, and UU Independent Infantry Brigade.

The 57th Squadron of the 4th Separate Infantry Brigade had just launched a tentative assault on the carp's mouth.

The squadron leader of the 4th squadron is called Inoue, this little Japan has been slapped by Tada several times, and half of his face is swollen, but it is no wonder that Tada is angry, because this is the first battle after the independent mixed 14th Brigade entered Longkou, and the defeat of the 4th squadron can be said to be sharp, and Tada has no face on his face.

Fujido Takaei called Tada to him and asked, "Tada-san, what's the matter?" ”

The defeat of the 4th squadron in the first battle made Tada's face gloomy, but in front of the commander, Tada still had to maintain his subordinates as much as possible, and said: "Your Excellency General, the Zhina Army occupying Liyuzui in front must be the elite of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, whether it is the construction of trench fortifications or the configuration of firepower points, they are all very orderly, and there are even minefields in front of the position, and the 4th Squadron is not well prepared, so it failed to break through the defense line of the Zhina Army."

Fujido Takaei didn't blame too much, and said, "Then prepare well and strive to destroy the opponent in one go."

"Hello." Tada bowed heavily, then turned around and ordered his adjutant, "Order, artillery squadron, ten minutes artillery fire preparation, infantry L squadron ready for battle." ”

(Dividing Line)

The troops who were ordered to defend Liyuzui to the death were He Laoliu's regimental L battalion.

Xu 19 asked the L battalion of the regiment to guard the carp mouth, which can be said to be the right person, because most of the officers and soldiers of the L battalion are the children of Hewan Town, and the carp mouth is the gateway to Hewan Town.

Although the overall combat effectiveness of the regiment was worse than that of the L regiment and the 4th regiment, in order to protect their wives and children, they were still willing to fight with little Japan with their lives.

The tentative attack was crushed, and little Japan immediately got serious.

Before throwing into the infantry attack, artillery preparation began.

The 92nd infantry guns, mortars, and grenadiers opened fire one after another, aiming at the carp's mouth and shelling fiercely.

In the first two years of the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, in addition to the 17 permanent divisions and regiments, the quality of the soldiers of dozens of temporarily mobilized special divisions and regiments in small Japan could be described as poor, and the quality of artillery and other jishu arms was particularly poor, and the shells fired sometimes even fell on their own sortie positions.

However, in the fourth year of the war, after undergoing brutal actual combat training, the quality of the soldiers of dozens of special divisions and regiments of the Japanese army has been greatly improved, and all branches of the Japanese army are even about to become proficient, and even the artillery of the local garrisons is on a par with the artillery of the permanent divisions and regiments.

Therefore, although the artillery preparation of the 57th Independent Infantry Brigade was only less than 10 minutes, and only more than 200 grenades of various calibers were fired, the temporary fortifications built by the regimental L Battalion on the carp mouth were still wiped out by the artillery fire of Little Japan, and the personnel were also heavily wounded.

He Laoliu sat up from the trench, and before he could count the casualties, the infantry of the little Japanese had already appeared in front of the position, and about a small group of Japanese soldiers opened a skirmish line of more than 100 meters, and pounced violently towards the position of the L battalion with bright bayonets.

Although these Japanese soldiers were born in the reserves, after several years of actual combat training, they have all become experienced veterans, they cooperate with each other very tacitly, and their technical and tactical movements are also extremely skillful.

Fortunately, the big soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui are no longer the first brothers on the battlefield.

In less than a moment, the young Japanese were less than 200 meters away from the forward position of the L battalion, but there was still a dead silence on the position of the L battalion, and there was no gunfire or human movement, as if all the people had died in the shelling just now.

Of course, the people of the L Battalion did not die, not to mention the intensity of more than 200 shells in 10 minutes, that is, the intensity of more than 100,000 shells per hour of the US troops on the Korean battlefield in later generations, and they did not kill all the volunteer soldiers on the position, and the officers and men of the L Battalion were just waiting for the Japanese soldiers to approach before fighting.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, so close that they could even hear the breathing of the Japanese soldiers.

"Fighting" He Lao Liu turned over and lay down to the firing position, and the flat box cannon was a short point.

In an instant, more than 300 officers and men of the battalion stood up from the trenches, raised their rifles and aimed at the Japanese soldiers who were rushing in front of them and fired at the same time.

The Japanese soldiers who were advancing stopped one after another, half-crouched, and raised their guns to shoot back.

Generally speaking, the marksmanship of the little Japanese is better than that of the big head soldiers of the L battalion, but the officers and men of the L battalion have trenches as cover, and the surface of the bullet is far smaller than that of the Japanese soldiers who are exposed all over their bodies, so in the shooting, the little Japan cannot take advantage, but the grenadiers of the little Japan are not vegetarian.

The infantry support fire of the little Japanese quickly followed, setting up grenadiers two hundred meters away.

After a few grenades, the only few light and heavy machine guns of the L Battalion were all silent, but the light and heavy machine guns of the small Japanese took the opportunity to open fire fiercely, and the scorching bullets flew like a torrential rain, causing smoke and dust to splash on the positions of the L Battalion, and from time to time officers and men were hit, screaming and falling backwards into the trenches.

He Laoliu braved the rain of bullets and rushed to the heavy machine gun position, only to find that the only Makqin heavy machine gun in the whole battalion had been beaten into a pile of iron lumps by small Japanese grenades.

He Lao Liu was dressed as a general, and soon became the target of the little Japanese grenadier chase.

The 50mm caliber grenades came one after another, and kept exploding behind He Laoliu's buttocks, and He Laoliu kept rolling, jumping, and crawling forward on the position, and finally escaped back to the main trench, and was splashed with hot sand and gravel from a grenade, and several water cannons burned out on his face in an instant, making He Laoliu so angry that he scolded his mother.

"Damn little Japan, Lao Tzu is not finished with you, as long as Lao Tzu still has a breath in it, your mother, don't think about passing through the carp's mouth" He Lao Liu was angry, and while taking out the bullet and pressing it into the magazine, he turned his head and ordered his guards, "Pass my order, each company will defend its own position, no one is allowed to retreat, if anyone dares to take half a step back, don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing people"

When the order was given to the forward position, the commander of the L company suddenly looked miserable.

The commander of the L company originally wanted to give up the position, wait for the first time to avoid the edge of the small Japanese and then cooperate with the company to fight a counterattack and recapture the position, but now, since the battalion seat has given a death order, there is nothing to say, and it is desperate to die

Seeing that the infantry of Little Japan was already approaching within 50 meters, and the grenades were thrown into the trenches, the commander of the L Company immediately jumped out of the trench with a bayonet and shouted: "Brothers, the left and right are dead, just fight with the little Japan of the dog day, kill."

The remaining sixty or seventy men of the L Company jumped out of the trench one after another, and roared loudly while holding bayonets, and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers who rushed forward with great momentum.
