Chapter 123: Capture the Cannon

The devil's sentinels were quite alert, but the battle process was much easier than Hu Weidong expected. There is no pop-up window on the net to update quickly // It turns out that the devil's artillery wing has always been very strong in defending liliang, but the deep mountain heavy artillery wing to which these heavy artillery belong is actually a fortress heavy artillery unit, and their original job is to guard the coastal fortress with strong defense capabilities, and the combat object is the main fleet of the naval power, so although this heavy artillery unit is fully equipped with 72 heavy guns, the number of infantry is far from being compared with the artillery wing of the field army, and the situation of this battle is urgent, Naturally, there was no time to make a drastic adjustment in the establishment, and since the heavy artillery positions were in the rear of the Japanese positions, the devils thought that it was impossible for the Red Army to hit here, so that the infantry equipped with the heavy artillery positions combined was only more than 1,000 people, and the strength of a mere brigade was only enough, how could they withstand the onslaught of more than 3,000 elite guards regiments?

Moreover, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Japanese infantry were attracted by the guard regiment, more than 800 special combat personnel who changed into devil uniforms, tied white cloth strips on their elbows, and detoured back to the other side of the Japanese army position quietly infiltrated the devil's position. As a result, at least hundreds of devils died at the hands of these "own people", and even the attempts to bomb most of them were defeated, and the Red Army was finally lucky to capture 18 150mm heavy cannons and 36 120mm heavy cannons in their entirety

Before the guard regiment could completely wipe out the remnants of the enemy, Hu Weidong divided two teams of men and horses to block the Japanese troops who came to help, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to fire guns into the air. Create the illusion that the heavy artillery positions have not yet fallen. After all, although the devils suffered huge losses from field artillery, most of the mountain artillery, battle defense artillery and infantry artillery were still there, and they were also very clear about the various gun positions of the heavy artillery position, if it was confirmed that the heavy artillery had been captured. Even if the gap between the devil's gun positions was large and did not cause a series of casualties, it was enough to blow up many heavy artillery pieces and cause huge casualties to the officers and men of the guard regiment and the special operations brigade.

Ten minutes later, the Red Army moved the heavy artillery and shells to a relatively safe position, and then the devils finally realized the problem, and immediately launched an artillery attack on their original heavy artillery positions, but it was too late, and the shelling did not achieve much effect, but exposed the artillery positions. They were destroyed one by one by Hu Weidong and some special combat personnel who had mastered artillery skills using the heavy artillery they had just captured. At this time, the large forces of the Red 15th Army finally launched a general offensive

The tactics used in the general offensive of the 15 th Red Army were naturally still tried and tested artillery offensive tactics, but perhaps because the Japanese 12th Division had always emphasized firepower, the officers and men under its command also had great experience in how to minimize the lethality of the enemy's artillery fire, and the tens of thousands of shells of the Red 15 th Army's hundreds of artillery pieces failed to disrupt the Japanese army's establishment. As a result, the Red Army units, which rushed to the enemy's positions, naturally met with stubborn resistance from the devils.

Due to the desperate resistance of the Japanese army, especially the suicide attacks that could not be prevented, the attacking troops of the 15th Red Army suffered heavy casualties, especially the 1st Brigade of the Advance Division, which was responsible for the main attack, suffered one-third casualties in just one hour.

"No, the corps commander and the guard regiment have successfully taken the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army. If we don't get the situation open here as soon as possible, the pressure on them will be too great, and they may even fall short, so you have to break through the enemy's defenses no matter what. Let them not be able to divide their troops! Su Yu snapped on the phone.

"What? Commander of the Legion, he actually". Due to secrecy, the commander of the 1st Brigade now knows that Hu Weidong actually committed danger in person. A rush of enthusiasm suddenly rushed to his head, and he immediately replied, "Teacher, don't worry, even if our 1st Brigade is all gone, we will definitely complete the task!" ”…,

"Comrades, come with me!" The commander of the 1st Brigade immediately came to the front line and personally commanded a company of sharp knives to launch another attack on the Japanese position. The news that the regiment commander Gan risked the danger to personally lead the army to take the devil's heavy artillery position, and the brigade commander and the commanders at all levels below took the lead, greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the Advance Division, and they finally succeeded in tearing a big hole in the devil's tough defense line, and the 2nd and 3rd Brigades, as reserves, immediately followed up, and annihilated the remnants of the enemy one by one after dividing the devil's forward position into pieces, and the once stalemate finally fell to the side of the Red Army. However, the Red 15 th Army also paid a great price for this, especially the 1 Brigade of the Advance Division, which was responsible for the main attack, lost nearly 6,000 men in battle, more than two-thirds of the brigade's pre-war strength, and the losses of cadres and veterans were even greater. The red-eyed soldiers of the 1st Brigade had long left the prisoner policy behind, and they did not let go of all the enemies who could move in their field of vision, and even the motionless ones had to be re-shot, in case any more devils pretended to be dead

The fierce frontal offensive of the Red 15th Army forced the devils to concentrate the focus of their defense on the front, and the troops sent to rescue the heavy artillery positions were naturally relatively insufficient, and under the guidance of the aerial reconnaissance of the Red Army Flying Regiment and the personal command of Hu Weidong, the 54 heavy guns newly captured by the guard regiment exerted an eye-popping killing efficiency, and an infantry wing of the devils was killed and wounded by those long-range heavy artillery before they could reach Hu Weidong and their effective firing range. Without even touching the edge of the heavy artillery position, he retreated in disarray. So far, the Red 15th Army has killed and wounded more than 10,000 Japanese troops, and seized part of the peripheral positions of the 12th Division of the Devils. But just when the situation was in a big situation, Hu Weidong learned a bad news through the radio, and couldn't help frowning, "Damn, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come, what should I do now?" ”

It turned out that when Su Yu ordered the whole army to launch a general attack, the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Division, which was sent to intersperse behind enemy lines to block the 4th Division of the Devils, had just moved into place. According to the usual practice, the distance between the vanguard of the devil and the large army will be opened up for one or two days, and generally the vanguard of a devil's division is only an infantry wing, which can be completely coped with with the strength of the 2nd brigade of the independent division. However, the 4th Division was a little different, because they had only arrived here now and it was considered late, and one of the results of the procrastination of the march was that the forward, the middle and the rear guard were basically connected, so more than 8,000 people of the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Division unexpectedly directly collided with a complete Japanese permanent division
