Chapter 35: Confrontation!

There is an old Chinese saying: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! For the national army between life and death on the battlefield, two hundred meters in front of the battle line is a dangerous range, and this is when the defender's machine guns must fire. And for the devils, to test the firepower, is not to send them to death, they are used to shooting at the defenders' positions with rifles at a position of 300 meters, relying on their accurate marksmanship, to provoke the defenders on the position, so as to use machine guns and other positions to retaliate!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Just under the noses of the defenders, the devil began to shoot at the position of the national army, and the glowing steel helmet became the best target for the devil.

"Puff puff ......"

On the edges of the trenches and craters, from time to time bullets burrowed into the dirt, the devil's marksmanship was still so accurate.

"No one is allowed to show their heads, and the devil is not allowed to shoot until he enters the 200-meter machine gun; Brothers who are sure to hit the devil can shoot at will, and the rest of the people don't waste bullets! ”

The officer crouched in the trench, shouting loudly to remind.

"It's you, don't hide......"

Feng Ye still put the steel helmet on the side, staring at the devil steel helmet in the distance in the scope, the devil steel helmet reflecting the sunlight is too easy to recognize!

"Bang!"

Feng Ye fired, and the high-speed spinning bullets whizzed towards his target......

"Dang!"

The 7.92mm bullet easily penetrated the devil's steel helmet, penetrated the head under the steel helmet, and then pierced the back of the devil's head again, and the devil fell to the ground and finished his sinful life.

"Beautiful!"

Lin Yuan was not far from Feng Yi, and the telescope in his hand clearly saw the moment when the devil was shot!

"Click!"

Skillfully pushing the bomb, Feng Yi's heart was not shocked, and his experience was not less, and he could be regarded as a qualified soldier on the battlefield.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

The chaotic gunfire rang out, and Feng Ye was not the only one on the battlefield who was shooting, and the soldiers who were eager to try in their hearts were trying to aim and then fire, but not everyone had the talent of a sniper, not to mention that Feng Ye was the only one who had received professional German instructor training here.

"Bang, bang......"

"Poof, poof, poof......"

While the two sides competed in marksmanship, they were also competing in courage, and those who were shot fell down from time to time, screaming and dying.

There are only more than thirty devils in a team, and they are very sparse on the long front, and soon the devils stopped shooting and slowly retreated, and they also understood after testing that the national army on the opposite side was elite, and this kind of small-scale harassment seemed useless!

Yesterday's battle before dusk let the devils know that the national army in Xinzhen had received reinforcements, and their main force, the 11th Division, was concentrated nearby, and it was no longer a disgruntled wing that could be eaten, and the helpless devils confronted the 11th Division on the front line of Xinzhen.

The fact that the devils did not attack Xinzhen did not mean that they would not launch an attack on the entire Songhu area, but in fact they were fighting in full swing in Hongkou, Yangshupu, Zhanghuabang, Luodian, Wusong, and other places, and their naval guns and bombers were already operating at full capacity, wantonly bombarding the defenders' defensive lines.

On the 27th, Xinzhen was helpless in tension and confrontation, but the 67th Division of the first line of Luodian was in dire straits, the 43rd Wing of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army under the command of Yoshio Asama, equipped with heavy artillery, combat vehicles, and aviation support, is now frantically attacking Luodian, this is already the second consecutive day of the 43rd Wing's attack, in the battle on the 26th, the 201st Brigade of the 67th Division responsible for defending Luodian made full use of the terrain and stubbornly resisted the Japanese attack, and the battle was extremely fierce. The 201st Brigade blocked several Japanese charges, and its casualties also skyrocketed, and the brigade commander, Major General Cai Bingyan, also came to the front line to direct the battle, and then with the help of the 199th Brigade, it was able to hold Luodian. In the battle to defend the left flank of Luodian, Major General Cai Bingyan personally led the 2nd Battalion of the 398th Regiment and the special service platoon of the brigade headquarters that had just arrived at the position.

"Kill!"

The remnants of the 199th Brigade and the 201st Brigade defending Luodian were suffering the attack of the devils, and the soldiers of the 67th Division shouted and fought with the devils around Luodian, but unfortunately the flesh and blood and fighting spirit could not make up for the backwardness of the equipment, and the 43rd Wing of the Japanese army captured Luodian in the afternoon.

"What? Luodian lost? ”

The military headquarters of the Eighteenth Army, Luo Zhuoying looked at the telegram in his hand in shock, Luodian's important role in the Battle of Songhu is undoubted, this is the gateway to the northern area of Songhu.

"Sir, Chief Chen's transfer of the 61st Division will arrive soon, this is a message!"

A telegram from Chen Cheng on the ground of the staff officer,

In the telegram, Chen Cheng didn't say anything, just said that the 61st Division was placed under the command of the 18th Army, and Luodian must be recovered.

"Let the staff clearly mark the situation around Luodian, our unit is the closest to Luodian?"

Luo Zhuoying sat on the chair with her butt and felt a thousand heavy burdens on her shoulders!

The devils who occupied Luodian had crossed the south bank of Malutang north of Luodian and occupied Zhoujiazhai, Gongjiazhai and other villages, ensuring the safety of the Chuansha landing site, while to the east and south of Luodian Town, the 11th and 98th Divisions were engaged in a bloody battle with the landing force of the devils.

"Sir, the nearest is the 11th Division of Xinzhen, they are now confronting the devils, they fought for a day yesterday, and the casualties are not small, if the 11th Division is transferred from Xinzhen, the Japanese army's Chuansha landing field will no longer be a threat, and the Japanese army can arbitrarily land troops here to increase the pressure on the Songhu area."

"There are too many places to land in the Songhu area, even if the devils lose the Chuansha landing ground, they can also land from other regions, but if Luodian can't take it back, the entire Songhu war situation will collapse! Order the 11th Division to attack Luodian immediately, and within 24 hours, Luodian must be recovered! Bang! ”

Luo Zhuoying's fist slammed on the table and gave the order.

The Japanese army is strong in combat, ordinary troops can't even hold it, let alone attack, and now they only have their own elite, I hope that the 11th Division is worthy of the title of the pillar of the civil engineering department, and as for the 61st Division, it is the last reserve!

Xinzhen, the headquarters of the 11th Division, Peng Shan received an order from the military headquarters, and even Chen Cheng sent another telegram to Peng Shan.

"Order the troops, get ready to pull!"

Peng Shan frowned and thought for a long time, and decided to withdraw his troops from Xinzhen and attack Luodian to the south.

"Division, it's still daylight! We have to retreat, the devil will press up, and we will be very passive at that time, and in the field movement, we have no advantage over the devil! ”

Chief of Staff Mei Chunhua reminded,

"What then? The 43rd Wing of the Japanese Army has already occupied Luodian, if you don't take advantage of the Japanese army's foothold to steadily attack it, when the devil's fortifications are built, it will be even more difficult to fight! Besides, we can leave a part of the army behind the break, so that the devils can't press it! ”

Peng Shan waved the telegram in his hand, he was now had to attack.

"Division commander, Commander Luo asked us to capture Luodian before 12 o'clock tomorrow, we might as well wait for dark before setting off, quietly withdraw the army, if it goes well, launch an attack on Luodian in two hours, even if the devil has fortifications, but we also have artillery, at night, not afraid of the devil's bombers, you can let the artillery use shells to open the way!"

Mei Chunhua reminded Peng Shan that the 11th Division, as the pillar of the civil engineering system and the descendant of the Central Army, is not only equipped with a mountain artillery battalion, but also a heavy mortar, and its firepower is not comparable to that of miscellaneous brands.

"Well, it's a pity that the 9th Company of the Sixteenth Artillery Regiment in the theater of operations has withdrawn, if they are still there, it will be more certain to attack Luodian!"

Peng Shan tapped the sand table with his hand, on the Songhu battlefield, the artillery of the national army was too scarce, and heavy artillery was even rarer, and the two heavy artillery brigades were under the direct command of the theater, and he had no authority to transfer at all.
