The little devil who retreated in embarrassment did not immediately attack, and one of the two Cao Chiefs who were in charge of testing the firepower died, and the remaining Cao Commander and two military Cao were reporting to the responsible Zhongzuo Brigade Captain under the leadership of the officer.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese defenders should be their miscellaneous cards, but they don't know the number yet."

The lieutenant officer bowed down to report the situation.

"Why don't you know the number, aren't the ** people used to planting their military flags?"

Captain Nakasa looked incredulous, and he wondered if these soldiers had not been on the ground at all.

"Your Excellency, the soldiers of the two squads rushed to the front of their positions, and after a fierce exchange of fire, more than forty soldiers were killed, forcing out all the machine gun fire of the squadron."

The lieutenant officer hurriedly reported on his tentative situation.

"Oh? China's motley troops, their machine gun firepower should be very limited! What kind of fire support do you need? ”

Officer Nakasa asked.

"They are all armed with the Imperial Taisho 11 type light machine guns, and the number of machine guns is very large, in six to ten; According to the configuration of the squadron, this motley group of troops should be the strength of a battalion or even a regiment. ”

The lieutenant officer recounted his distress, the squadron on the position was condescending, and it was equipped with so many Imperial light machine guns, and he was afraid that if he wanted to capture a squadron, he would suffer very large casualties.

"Yaga! These scoundrel-like squadrons don't even dare to show their own military flags, do they still have the honor of being soldiers? ”

Officer Nakasa now wanted to know exactly which unit was guarding Tangshan, so that he could make a policy based on the Empire's intelligence.

"Order the artillery, continue the shelling, and after the shelling your squadron will attack."

The officers now had to carry out their simplest tactics, which were the constant rotation of artillery bombardment and infantry skills.

On Tang Mountain, Feng Yi was bidding farewell to his seriously injured and dying brothers, not that he didn't want to save them, but he knew that there were some injuries, even if they were sent back now, it would only make them die painfully on the road, it was better to let them smoke a cigarette in the company of the brothers before leaving.

"Zhang Chuan, you follow down the mountain, after the next shelling of the devil, bring a supplementary company up, and let the brothers on standby send the wounded soldiers back to the brigade headquarters."

Feng Yi glanced at the wounded soldiers on the battlefield, it was not long now, in addition to the more than 20 brothers who died in battle, there were more than 10 wounded soldiers; Of course, this is not to say that there are only so many wounded soldiers on the position, but that the wounded soldiers who have lost their ability to fight, as for the soldiers who do not affect the battle after a simple bandage, there is no way to return to the wounded barracks now, if they are still alive after this battle, they will naturally be sent in.

"Wang Ning, there are still five of your people at the observation post this time."

"The rest of the people, pack up their equipment, and all retreat back into the cave, the devil's next shelling is coming."

Feng Ye beckoned to the brothers, and then quickly retreated to the camp headquarters.

Inside the battalion headquarters, Feng Ye still sat in his old position.

"Battalion commander, where is our military flag? Why don't you fight? ”

The veteran of the battalion directly under him asked Feng Ng, and with his question, several brothers next to him looked at Feng Que together.

"I didn't bring it."

Feng Ye spread out his hands, he really forgot to bring the military flag, that thing has been on the side of the engineer company, whether it is Da Huan or here, he has been deliberately not mentioning that thing.

"I'll get it!"

A squad leader stood up, ready to rush out of the battalion headquarters and ran down the hill to bring up the military flag.

"Come back to labor!"

Feng Yi dragged the veteran squad leader who stood up to the ground.

"Will that thing help us kill devils or will it help us block bullets?"

Feng asked.

"Aren't the other troops all in the position?"

The veteran wanted to say that as long as the military flag was there, the position would be there, but looking at Feng Yi, his words changed.

"Let me tell you, the devil's spies are very powerful, they have collected a lot of information about us, as soon as the military flag is hung out, believe it or not, their planes and naval guns will bombard this place fiercely, and the 11th division of the Central Army is too attractive to them; If you don't want to die that early, don't think about that. ”

Feng shook his head and explained to all the brothers why he didn't hang the military flag.

"Doodoo ......"

The damn phone rang again, and Feng took it from his brother's hand and put it to his ear.

"Brigade Commander, I'm Feng Yi."

Feng Yi became much more serious, and his ears were next to the earpiece and he responded loudly.

"How's it going over there? Are there many casualties? ”

Mei Chunhua's voice sounded, the devil's shelling just now was very fierce, but the attack was not resolute, the position must still be there, he was worried that Feng Yi's casualties would be too large, which would be unfavorable for the next battle.

"Brigade commander, the casualties are okay, it's not a big problem."

Feng Ye didn't say how many brothers he had suffered casualties, and if he said that there were only more than thirty casualties, he was afraid that the brigade commander would not consider this place when there were reinforcements.

"Okay, remember, the position must be held."

Mei Chunhua put her mind at ease, as long as she stayed until night, it would be much easier.

"Yes, people are in the position."

Feng Yi still said that.

"It's good to have that determination."

Mei Chunhua said appreciatively, and then withheld the phone.

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

Tangshan, which had just been silent for less than half an hour, had once again become a place for bombs to scatter joy, and the devil's artillery did not need to test fire this time, and directly poured shells at Tangshan's position.

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

The artillery fire on the position was continuous, and the observation posts nested in the remaining trenches were very uncomfortable at this time, because there were not only shrapnel, mud and gravel in the sky, but even the corpses of devils were shattered by artillery fire, and then they were shocked into the air by the shock wave, turning into a rain of blood sprinkled on the entire position.

"The devil is really rich, and there are so many cannonballs that he can't finish firing!"

In the bunker, the recruits shouted loudly, envious of the devil's artillery fire, if they had this kind of artillery support, the battle would not have to be fought so hard.

"Hey!"

I don't know if the brothers next to them heard the rumbling cannons, they shook their heads and sighed one by one, and looked at the situation above their heads from time to time, they had to guard against their own anti-cannon holes being directly hit, although it was difficult to run out after being directly hit, but they always thought that they could escape, as long as they ran fast enough.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the position of Tangshan once again turned into a gray patch, the devil's artillery fire this time was very face-saving, bombardment for more than 20 minutes, and even the road they climbed the mountain to attack was covered by artillery fire once, in the entire northwest, it was difficult to see trees still standing there, they fell to the ground like those shrubs and vegetation, emitting black smoke, and slowly burned.
