The sun has moved to the end, the early winter sun shines warmly, and it is very useful, at this time, if you carry a teapot, around the old cotton jacket, at the root of the wall, squint and take a nap, doze for a while, wake up and take out the teapot that is still warm to take a sip, how moisturizing!

Yang Bangzi would lean against the low wall, chewing hard cakes, looking at the busy devils on the wall from a distance, pondering for a while, calling Xiao Liangzi and telling him to inform the teams in front of him, don't be idle, have some sniper performances with marksmanship! You can't let the little devil work so idlely.

At a distance of two or three hundred meters, the big sun was so bright, and the devil's steel helmet was still reflectively positioned.

A few cold guns flew over, and a few bold devils who showed half of their bodies were gone! Now the devils have also grown their memories, and they don't dare to show their heads anymore, just looking at the dusty side of the wall, I don't know what they are doing.

Yang Bangzi judged that the little devil must be building a second-line position, and he must be using the heavy machine gun to support the attack of the troops they invested in the first line.

Just now, they didn't expect the counterattack in the cottage to be so powerful, and they suffered a little loss, so they made every effort to build a position, and wanted to use their old routines to advance steadily and steadily.

After eating the cake, Yang Bangzi drank a few sips of water, called Xiaoliangzi, and the two slipped back to the courtyard along the dark ditch.

The civil engineering work of the devils is also very good, and in less than an hour, the ruins of the walled wall, which still can't get down, have been transformed into a position combining infantry and artillery, with several artillery positions in the middle. Heavy machine-gun positions and infantry fortifications were also erected.

After a brief lunch, Shimizu came over to take a look. It felt ok. He said to the accompanying captain that the artillery was in place, and all the second-line infantry entered the position, and informed the troops facing each other on the front line and the eighth road to retreat fifty meters!

This time, Shimizu Daisa decided to let the captain of the first brigade personally go to the front to direct the battle, and as for the captain of the second brigade who lent him the sword, he was sent down the mountain to take charge of the rear command of the entire unit.

Dongshanliang and Nanyakou plus the valley, now except for wounded soldiers and a small number of garrisons. There were less than 100 logisticians left who were responsible for transporting ammunition to the mountains and transferring wounded soldiers.

Shimizu pulled the Suzuki detachment, which had been rearranged in the morning, almost all the personnel who could fight onto the platform, from the front line of the ruins of the cottage to the edge of the platform on the Zuihou side, less than a thousand meters long from east to west, and less than 300 meters wide from north to south, in this small area, he concentrated more than 800 soldiers, as well as four mountain guns, four mortars, and more than 10 heavy machine guns.

The operational order given to the commander of the 1st Brigade was that the current front-line troops should retreat to a safe position and not move. When the shelling is carried out later, divide into two teams. Move to the left and right wings.

At the same time as the shelling, the troops on the walled wall threw in a squadron, quickly went out to the vacated positions of the front-line troops, carried heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and as soon as the shelling was over, after seeing the flags on the walled position, they immediately turned to the attack!

The troops on the front line just now were already very tired after fighting hard for half a day, and then put them into the middle position of the fierce competition, Qing Shui was worried that they would not be able to handle the next offensive tasks, so let them turn to the two wings and continue to put pressure on the eight roads of the two wings.

The focus is on the middle road, such a close distance directly with mountain artillery for fire support, a 100-meter-wide frontal one squadron at a time, but also carry heavy machine guns and other fire support weapons, to ensure that in the shortest possible time to wedge into the defensive position of the eighth road, if you can fight all the way to the yard, it is equivalent to the entire front half of the cottage divided into two parts.

All that remains is to use mountain artillery and mortars to clear the fire points of the eight roads one by one, which is relatively much easier.

After looking at the table below, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Shimizu ordered the artillery to open fire, with the front of the four guns as the baseline for shelling, and carried out a clearing bombardment of houses, courtyards, large brick piles and ditches!

The rest of the mortars were also idle, firing shells at possible eight-way defenses on the left and right.

Shimizu Osa, who had been standing in the fortifications and looking at the yard and the big house less than two miles away with a telescope, thought that the Eighth Route must be their small force in front of him, and the real main force should be on the back mountain.

This is also the reason why he moved the gun position forward by more than 500 meters, and carried out accurate shooting at fixed points on the edge of the platform against the cottage and the back mountain, which was hindered and the firing range was almost strong, but now he moved to the wall of the wall, and the field of vision was wide, and the firing range and firing range were no problem.

But the figure of the main force of the Eighth Route that he was looking forward to appearing in the telescope lens, until the end of the shelling, the infantry attacking the middle road all attacked, and did not appear, and he turned the camera to the high ground on both sides, very strangely, there was no human figure, and the grass and trees did not move.

The wall of the cottage is built so high, it is the same as the old city wall of a county in the past, counting the skirt wall of the blue strip stone, it is four or five meters high, and the wall is not built on the edge of the platform, which is reasonable.

If you build to the edge of the platform, the shells that come up in the valley can directly collapse you, and from the more than 100-meter-wide platform, the artillery below cannot be directly aimed at the wall. And even if the defenders on the edge of the mesa are defeated, then with the tall and thick wall, the attackers who rush to the platform can be suppressed.

The devil who has planes and artillery, even if he has invested so much, it took half a day of hard work to completely blow up the wall before he can cross this obstacle.

At the beginning, Mr. Guo still put a lot of effort into building the defense system of the cottage, for example, the nearest house from the wall is more than 100 meters away, which also leaves a space and distance to block the attackers, even if he crosses the wall, he cannot immediately use the house as a springboard for attack.

The cottage is not built in the valley smoothly, in fact, starting from the wall, the courtyards and houses are built along a gentle slope, and the slope extends to the yard, to be seen from the front, the platform outside the wall to the valley under the east mountain beam, this is a threshold.

From the wall to the courtyard, this is the second threshold, from the courtyard to the back cliff, this is the third threshold, that is to say, anyone who attacks the cottage must attack along these three barriers from low to high, it took two days, Shimizu Dazuo and his thousands of soldiers, paid hundreds of casualties, to break through the first barrier.

From the moment when the shelling stopped, the infantry broke out of the bunker, crossed the open space of more than 100 meters, and covered each other to attack in depth along the ruins and broken walls, it was the beginning of the real brutal confrontation between the enemy and us.

On the second hill are more than 90% of the houses and courtyards of the cottage, most of which were destroyed under the bombing of the devil's plane, but these houses and courtyards built by the original generations of builders in nearly a hundred years can still play an unexpected role under the raging bombs!

We Chinese used to build houses and everything with yellow clay rammed foundations, and then the outside was wrapped with reinforcements on the stones, and Guojiabaozi was no exception, and the foundation was rammed thicker and stronger! Although the main body of the house was destroyed by the bomb, the wall foundation exposed more than one meter high on the ground became a desperate fortification!

Another point, these houses and courtyards in Guojiabaozi are not the same as ordinary villages, built according to the homesteads spread out from north to south or east to west, one or two baselines, to see from the air, the second platform of the entire Guojiabaozi is basically a big gossip map! Houses and courtyards were built one by one according to this gossip diagram.

Each piece of courtyard is connected by a crisscrossing road in the middle, and each piece of courtyard has its own defense system, even if you attack and take a few houses and courtyards in this area, you can still be surprised to find that the rest of the courtyard alone is also a strong fortress.

Yang Bangzi didn't understand how the house of the Guo family fort was repaired at first, but later Mr. Guo called him over to teach him Ji Yi, and showed him the topographic map of the cottage, so he understood the benefits of the cottage and made up his mind to let the devil in and fight.

At this time, Shimizu Daizo and his subordinates didn't know that they were entering a big gossip map, this was a maze array! (To be continued......)
