The devil was not stupid enough to be beaten passively, and when the riflemen rushed forward with their guns, the grenades were already in their hands, and they threw them at each other whenever they had the chance.

They also knew that now was the best chance to kill and injure the Eighth Route Army.

The light machine gunner held the machine gun in his arms, violently buckled the machine, and fired at the position, suppressing the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the position.

Bullets, grenades, you come and go, constantly flying to the opponent's position.

At this moment, the fierce and short exchange of fire suddenly stopped, and the Eighth Route Army on the position lost its movement as if all of it had died at once.

"Quick...... Rush over, kill them, occupy the position, and kill the ......" Although the devil squadron leader did not know why, he still seized the opportunity and gave the order to continue the assault.

"Woooooooooo......oo Boom Boom Boom ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the last thing he wanted to hear was the screaming of shells and explosions overhead.

At this time, the brigade commander would definitely not order the artillery to open fire. Since the shells were not fired by their own people, there is only one possibility, the Eighth Route Army.

"It's artillery bombardment, everyone get down quickly, hide ......," the squadron leader shouted in a voice with a sudden change in face.

Artillery shells can be different from grenades in that they are powerful and have a large killing range.

Continue to attack against the grenades that are constantly exploding around you, and as long as you are lucky, you will have no problem rushing over.

However, no matter how lucky you are, you will inevitably be killed and injured by the explosion of shells.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

More than a dozen shells fell from the sky and exploded, because the attacking troops were so scattered that many people did not hear the hidden order, and waited for the shells to explode around them before reacting.

However, the flying fragments of shells and powerful shock waves did not intend to give them a chance to react.

Within the squadron leader's field of vision, at least ten of his subordinates were blown over and fell to the ground motionless.

A total of eighteen mortars, firing rapidly, took only half a minute to drop ninety shells on the devil attacking troops.

"Bage Yalu, the cunning Eighth Route Army, actually hid the mortar until now, and their commander is really powerful!" Although Major General Kawaguchi looked down on the Chinese army, today's series of encounters made him fail again and again, and at the same time, he began to admire his opponent.

As a good commander, your favorite thing to do is to compete with equally good opponents.

Therefore, after a short period of anger and shock, he became fanatical, stared at the chief of staff and ordered: "The artillery will immediately counterattack and kill their mortar units, I would like to see what means the Eighth Route Army has to deal with our attack after losing its artillery!" ”

The devil artillery did not wait for the order of Major General Kawaguchi to counterattack.

As soon as the first round of shells fired by the new regiment smashed on the battlefield, the commander of the artillery group ordered two mortar squadrons to counterattack.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, their mortars are not concentrated together, but three mortars and one artillery position are scattered, should we disperse for a counterattack!" An artillery observer reported.

The commander of the artillery brigade immediately made a decision: "Take the squad as a unit and counterattack separately!" ”

"But then it will take us more time to fight back!" The observer reports!

"If it increases, it will increase, immediately carry out a counterattack, reduce the pressure on the attacking troops, and kill the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army!" The captain continued to command, then raised his binoculars and stared at the battlefield.

The mortar gunners were still busy adjusting their muzzles, waiting for the observers to offer to shoot Zhu Yuan, when the violent explosions from the battlefield suddenly stopped.

A very bad premonition suddenly popped into the captain's mind.

"Not good, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, they are definitely diverting artillery positions...... The artillery opened fire immediately, and if it didn't fire again, it would be too late! ”

It was nearly half a minute before the captain heard the familiar sound of cannon behind him......

"It's late, such a long time has passed, and the artillery of the Eighth Route Army must have been transferred!" The captain said with a long sigh.

Then he ordered: "Report to the brigade commander: The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, they divided into six artillery positions to open artillery on our attacking troops, and the shelling only lasted half a minute before it was transferred, the time is too short, we have no way to lock on to the target for counterattack, please pay attention to your excellency the brigade commander!" ”

Fortunately, at this time, the attacking troops came with the news that the Eighth Route Army had retreated and successfully occupied the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise, the return call from the light artillery brigade would have made Major General Kawaguchi furious.

On the highway nearly 20 kilometers away from the battlefield, the deputy chief of staff, Commander Chen of the Military Region, and a large group of security personnel followed Huang Yuanqiang to the battlefield.

"Political Commissar Huang, you just said that Wang Ping is fighting with devils on the edge of the base area and fighting a positional battle!" Commander Chen still couldn't understand why Wang Ping used the disadvantage of the Eighth Route Army to force the advantage of the little devil, and asked uncertainly again.

Huang Yuanqiang hesitated and replied: "Yes, Commander......"

"The regiment commander mobilized nearly 1,000 people to repair the fortifications ten days in advance...... He plans to use that fortification group to consume a large number of devils to attack the troops, and by the way, train the troops, so that our troops can experience a tough battle and improve their combat effectiveness! ”

Commander Chen was very anxious and scolded: "Nonsense, Wang Ping is just nonsense~ Fighting positional warfare with little devils, and planning to consume a large number of devil attack troops through positional warfare, who does he think he is!" Is the devil that easy to fight? They have light and heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery, and even aviation! ”

"In this case, if you fight a positional battle with a devil, isn't that a death?"

"And you Huang Yuanqiang, you are the political commissar, don't you know how to persuade him! If something happens on the battlefield, both of you will be punished. ”

Huang Yuanqiang is an old Red Army, and he still has the least responsibility, so he immediately replied: "Please rest assured, commander, if something really happens, I will take responsibility with the regiment commander, and I should be punished and dismissed!" ”

At this moment, the deputy chief of staff, who had not spoken, spoke: "Lao Chen, don't jump to such conclusions first!" ”

"Wang Ping, that person, I know, the master who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses, since he has the courage to fight a positional battle with the little devil and fight hard, then he must have his own way. When you get to the battlefield, you know everything! ”

Huang Yuanqiang hurriedly replied: "The chief is right, I was there when the devil took our forward position. The strength of one of our companies is more than the strength of an infantry squadron of the little devils, and we also used a dangerous trick to capture most of the puppet army of the company. Just that one battle wiped out all the concerns of me and the chief of staff! ”

"I believe in the regiment commander, since the regiment commander said that it will work, it will definitely work!"

The commander's face looked much better, and then he urged the troops to rush to the battlefield where the sound of gunfire could already be heard!
