On the 233 heights, a group of artillerymen were pushing several 92 infantry guns slowly.

The front-line positions were still filled with a life-devouring poisonous fog, but in that poisonous fog, firm figures could be faintly seen, lying motionless in the trenches wearing gas masks, as if they were one with the position.

As with the situation on the side of the 3rd Regiment, except for the dead and wounded, most of the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment did not withdraw from the battle, and remained on the front line under the leadership of their respective commanders.

"Alright, here is Gada!" As soon as the artillerymen crossed the ridgeline, the leading officer immediately commanded in a loud voice.

"Commander Li, what are you using this cannonball?" An artillery lieutenant asked apprehensively, as he brought up the ammunition box with the skull printed on it.

"How do you fight, you haven't played with howitzers? Half-propellant reloading, target... The offensive line of the head-on little devils! ”

Li Liansheng's eyes were particularly solemn, and the voice under the gas mask seemed a little urn-like, this time he was transferred from the rear artillery regiment to the front line to direct the shelling, in order to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, so that the little devil could taste the evil fruits he planted.

The lieutenant opened the lid of the box with two clicks, revealing a special shell neatly arranged underneath, and without saying a word, he picked one up with one hand and stuffed it into the chamber.

Li Liansheng was frightened enough by his rude set of operations, and hurriedly scolded: "What are you doing!? What the hell are these two tigers? This is a poison gas bomb, be careful with your gloves, don't let the Japanese hit it and wipe out Lao Tzu! ”

The lieutenant touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly put down the shells and took protective measures according to the instructions, and several other infantry guns were also prepared and adjusted the firing angle.

The limited firing range of the Type 92 infantry gun, coupled with the need to fire poison gas bombs, did not dare to use a full charge for the projectile, which further affected its range, and could only pose a threat to the enemy by approaching the front line.

However, this mustard gas shell is also very standardized, the 70mm caliber is just suitable for 92 infantry gun firing, as long as the Japanese dare to attack, these infantry guns placed on the top of the mountain can definitely make them unable to eat and walk.

From time to time, Japanese planes swept overhead, and the anti-aircraft guns on the positions were still putting up desperate resistance, but fortunately, the Type 92 infantry guns in Li Liansheng's hands were small in size and easy to conceal, and the devil pilots did not find them.

The southerly wind was slowly blowing on the hillside, and the situation on the 233rd Heights was much better than that of the Third Regiment, the poisonous fog had begun to gradually dissipate, and the vision ahead was becoming clearer and clearer.

But what's weird... The Japanese did not launch an attack on the high ground at this time.

"Something is wrong...... The little devil is a little evil, huh? Li Liansheng carefully observed the front through the telescope, and the poisonous fog was almost dissipated, and the Japanese did not move, which is not reasonable.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

At this moment, the sound of shell bombardment suddenly sounded in front of the right, and Li Liansheng followed the sound and saw that there was already a sea of fire on the open side.

"Damn, it's a bad dish!"

Countless shells fell on the positions of the engineering regiments, like hail falling from the sky, and the soldiers below were crying bitterly.

Just as the shelling was underway, the 56th Wing of the Japanese Army, which had taken a detour, and the 165th Wing launched an attack on the engineer regiment at the same time.

They were extremely fast, and when the shelling stopped, they had already rushed into the front 100 meters of the position, a scene that frightened the soldiers of the engineering regiment who had just reacted from the shelling.

"Regiment... Regiment commander, are you still fighting? ”

"Withdraw! Hurry back! ”

The unkempt Ah Yi hurriedly gave the order to retreat, and the other party blew up and beat a fart. Needless to say at this moment, the soldiers hurriedly packed up their equipment and quickly evacuated their positions.

It's no wonder that he fled cowardly, after all, Liao Mingyu had instructed him before the war to retreat if he couldn't beat the next wave of attacks from the little devils.

Besides, with the cooperation of artillery fire and two wings, nearly 20 tracked tanks attacked them, and this huge gap was like a trench, which was not at all something that he, an engineer regiment with a great shortage of equipment and firepower, could withstand, and staying would only be a dead end.

"Squeak squeak......"

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The tracks pressed against the ground with a screeching sound, and occasionally one or two S-jumping mines were excited and ejected, exploding in the air, but the shrapnel exploded on the tank armor without pain.

The mines and explosives planted by the engineer regiment in front of the position did not have much effect at the moment, and were quickly removed as the enemy tank convoy passed by, while the Japanese infantry followed.

As expected, the position of the engineer regiment was easily taken by the Japanese in less than half an hour.

thought that the direction of the Japanese army's main attack would be here in the main position, but at this time, everyone realized that they had played infrasound and attacked west.

"Haha! Ushijima, do you see it, this is what my 18th Division should look like, and the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire are looking forward to it. ”

Shinichi Tanaka, who got carried away, laughed, and looked proud as if he was showing off.

"Hey, the division commander is far-sighted, and it is really a blessing for my great Japanese empire." Chief of Staff Ushijima struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly offered a sycophant, he knew very well what the stubborn Tanda wanted to hear.

Tanaka smiled and remained silent, and hibernate for two days in order to wait for rear support to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

This time he not only called for an air strike, but also an armored unit quietly arrived in Mangshi, where the tank will be the absolute protagonist, and the enemy would never have imagined that he still has this hole card.

"Report to the commander of the division, this is the intelligence just sent by the reconnaissance department, located 18 kilometers northwest of our department, a large number of receiving and transmitting signals have been found, and it is suspected that the enemy's command unit."

At this moment, another staff officer ran over and delivered a message.

Tanaka looked at it and quickly sketched out the location of the battlefield in his mind, and if it was expected, this should be the enemy's headquarters.

"Yo Xi, send the approximate coordinates to Kato, and order the chariot brigade to continue to advance westward, and the 56th Wing will follow behind and fight together!"

"The 165th Wing stabilized the rear, launched a tentative attack on the high ground, let the mountain artillery wing and the heavy artillery brigade move forward, and the division headquarters also moved forward, and the frontal battlefield continued to exert pressure.

At this moment, Tanaka's confidence has doubled, the right flank of the Chinese has been lost, and the 56th Wing and the armored troops will continue to advance towards the rear of the open field like a sharp sword, smashing the Yellow Dragon, while the 165th Wing will go around to the rear of the 233rd Heights and stab the enemy's chrysanthemum.

Judging from the situation, the defeat of the other side is a foregone conclusion, and in the case of the rear road being cut off, no army can remain calm, as long as the army is in chaos, the defense line will be wiped out in an instant......
