It's not just Wang Ning's side that was attacked by the Japanese infantry artillery, but the Japanese infantry artillery appeared in all four directions, and their infantry artillery on the front line of Yubang could not play a role at all, and as soon as it appeared, it would become a target for mortars, mountain artillery and night running, but it was different here, the defenders were light infantry, and the Japanese army had not yet found that the allies had weapons that could be countered.

"Let Luo Da and Liang Hao clean up all the weeds and shrubs behind the second line of defense by the river, no matter what method is used, in two hours, a fifty-meter-wide strip must be cleared, and there must be no omission!"

"Give orders to all lines of defense not to use mortars, and retreat to the third line of defense in two hours."

"Send a report, I hope to get bomber support in two hours, and use incendiary bombs to ignite the field outside the marked target!"

......

The village originally had three lines of defense, which Feng Ye had already made, and the shooting range here had been cleared, but the two lines of defense that had been urgently withdrawn later, including the line of defense by the river, they did not clean up, first, because they really did not have time, and on the other hand, this was indeed a cover for him to prepare to retreat; And now, the uncleared weeds and shrubs have become traps, because they have planes to help drop incendiary bombs, and with the help of incendiary bombs, it is the winter, dry season, and the fields will soon burn up, so that they can get at least more than a day's respite.

"Beware of the shelling of the devils, keep an eye on the infantry."

In front of the defensive line, the brothers who had been ordered to retreat did not retreat, and giving up their positions too easily would make it not so easy for them to retreat.

"The trenches have not yet been completed, so be careful to carry the wounded."

In the fierce firefight, the soldiers on both sides could not see each other, but from time to time there were always soldiers who fell, and those who knew that they were screaming, then it proved that they were not dead, and they still had the opportunity to be sent down for treatment.

"Shit, Feng, why is it not allowed to counterattack with mortars, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties in the Japanese shelling, they can't go on like this, they must fight back immediately!"

Inside the headquarters, Colonel Kinnison shouted, in half an hour, the soldiers of Unit 5307 had already suffered a squad of casualties, how could he not be in a hurry?

"Colonel, we need to attract the attention of the Japanese troops on the front line of Yubang and cooperate with the frontal troops to break the defensive line, this is our task; How strong the Japanese defense line was in Yubang was that the New First Army had tried countless times; And there seems to be no end to their line of defense, as far as I can see now, their line of defense has reached a depth of two kilometers; How many trenches and bunkers are there? How much time will it take for the new First Army to gnaw down one line after another? ”

Feng ignored Colonel Kinnison's roar, but reminded him.

"What does this have to do with the use of mortars? We don't need to worry about supplies, the command can solve it for us at any time by airdrop, we don't need to save ammunition. ”

Colonel Kinnison was a little puzzled and didn't understand what Feng Yi meant.

"And to show our weakness is what we should do; In this way, the Japanese troops in the defense line can come out and attack us and win opportunities for the new army. ”

"China has a long history, and there have been many wars in its long history, which has taught us children and grandchildren a truth, that is, we can't expose all our hole cards; And hidden mortars are our last resort, which will convince the Japanese that without air support, we will not have long-range strike capabilities, and they can attack at will. ”

"The bombers are still an hour away, and then we will have more than ten hours to regroup, and the casualties are still bearable."

Feng Ye looked at Colonel Kinnison and was stunned, and did not directly explain why mortars were not allowed, in fact, this is Feng Jie's consistent practice, this is the last hole card he left for himself to stick to, and he is ready to use this to give them a powerful blow when the Japanese attack is most rampant.

"Order a company to retreat and go directly to the third line of defense."

At the forward position, several battalion commanders looked at the fierce battlefield, and then looked at the time, and felt that they could give up the first line of trenches.

"You stay here for forty minutes, and then retreat back after forty minutes......"

The brothers of the Chinese commandos don't complain so much, not to mention that there are no mortars, on the domestic battlefield, when they are short of guns and ammunition, they need to face the integrated attack of the devil's open space and ground, although most of the people here have not experienced this, but a few officers who followed Feng Ye understand that although the battle in front of them is fierce, it is much better than in China.

"Buzz ......"

When the plane in the air reappeared, it was more than ten minutes earlier than Feng Yi's two hours, so the time for the brothers in the foreword to hold on would be correspondingly reduced.

"Attack!"

The devils also saw the planes in the air, but they were not worried, the distance between the skirmishers on both sides was too short, and they did not believe that the Americans would dare to drop bombs at a close distance here.

"Smoke bombs!"

Several battalion commanders shouted and ordered the brothers to throw smoke bombs into the field ahead.

"Withdraw!"

By this time, the bombers had reduced their altitude and were circling, and they were waiting for a signal.

"Signal received, ready to drop the bomb!"

The soldiers on the ground were running frantically towards the third trench, and they had to pass through a hundred meters of empty space in front of the trench, but fortunately there was a barren grass behind them, and a smoke bomb that had just been thrown, and the smoke was spreading, gradually penetrating the wilderness and rising into the sky.

"Tweet ......"

Bombers in the air flapped their wings, and incendiary bombs whistled straight into the wilderness.

"Yaga! Take cover! ”

The devil officer shouted in vain, and a scream sounded in his ears, and his pale face was full of incredulity.

"Quick, get into position!"

But soon the devil officer found that the Americans' aerial bombs were a little far away from them, and their impact point was at least 200 meters away from the smoke, after all, they couldn't do it accurately when they threw that thing in the air, and the principle of smoke and ensuring safety became their choice, because they threw incendiary bombs, and the purpose was not to kill many enemies, but to use fire and smoke to achieve the purpose of driving away the enemy.

"Keep an eye on the front, and if someone runs out, they will be greeted with a machine gun!"

The third line of trenches surrounding the nameless village was full of withdrawn brethren, and the ring defensive position was characterized by this, and the further back they retreated, the smaller their defensive range became, which would save troops, and several trenches were like irregular circles centered on the village, constantly shrinking.

"Why don't you go down? Hurry up! ”

In the trench, Min Fei saw a brother's head wrapped in gauze, and red blood was still seeping out.

"Battalion commander, it's just a broken skin, don't worry."

The wounded soldier grinned.

"Get down, what rules do we don't know in this army? It's not time to let the wounded go to the battlefield, second squad leader, send your people down! ”

Min Fei cursed, the lightly wounded are also the wounded, go down to deal with the wounds, take a breath, and it is conducive to a more brutal battle on the right.
