After 20 minutes of artillery bombardment, the positions hastily dug by the Fourth Division of the Imperial Army were bombarded with holes, and there were many exchanges with Ouyang Yu's army, and many of the advantages of Ouyang Yu's army were also learned by the imperial army, such as foxholes and trenches.

The generals of the Imperial Army have a preliminary understanding of the complex trench warfare system and promote it throughout the army through the trenches left by Ouyang Yu's army in Kodor Town, from the commander of the front army to the squad platoon commander, so the position of the fourth division of the imperial army in the high ground, the trenches are also dug decently, and the machine gun fortress, communication trench, anti-artillery hole, anti-mine ditch and so on are readily available on the staggered three positions, which greatly protects the lives of the soldiers of the imperial army, and is also one of the main reasons for the failure of the eight battalions of Ouyang Yu's army in several attacks.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the smoke had not yet cleared, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army ran out of the anti-artillery holes and returned to their respective positions to prepare for battle.

The soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army had already advanced to the place where they were only two hundred meters away from the imperial army's position, and the infantry artillery association of the attacking troops under Ouyang Yu's command could not do so well, and when the last shell landed, the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army carried their guns, bent down and walked quickly.

"Free Fire, Free Fire!"

Ouyang Yu's army approached, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army in the trenches poked out half of their heads and pulled the trigger, and the dense light bullets made the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army immediately lie on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

At this time, Ouyang Yu's heavy machine guns and mortars arranged in the rear began to suppress and cover the infantry's attack, and more dense bullets were fired into the positions of the imperial army, which instantly reduced the firepower of the imperial army a lot, and the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army, who had the opportunity, took the opportunity to continue to advance or shoot at the imperial army.

Ouyang Yu, who was watching the battle in the rear, saw through the telescope that many ordinary soldiers died or were injured in vain because of unqualified tactical movements, and felt very sorry in his heart, they were all good guys, if they could train well for three months according to the plan, not only would the casualties be reduced a lot, but also the combat effectiveness would be further strengthened.

However, Ouyang Yu's army, which has an absolute advantage in firepower, is still making good progress, and ten M1930 37mm anti-tank guns have destroyed two turtle tanks of the Imperial Army, and now they are naming the remaining wolves, and I believe that it will not be long before they can be destroyed.

There were still more than 20 machine gun forts on the positions of the Imperial Army, but these forts were also rapidly decreasing, because there was a company of eight Type 92 infantry guns on the high ground, and under the blow of these eight Type 92 infantry guns, the civil fortifications of the Imperial Army could not block the direct fire of the Type 92 infantry guns.

The Type 92 infantry gun is a very excellent weapon in the Japanese army's armament, known as "one inch short, one inch dangerous". It was an "ideal" infantry battalion support weapon in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century. This is especially true for countries with very low levels of mechanization. Plus, it's perfect for use on complex terrain. For example, for infantry battalion support in mountain warfare, it is very handy. Moreover, it has a wide range of tasks, and can cover almost all types of fire support required by an infantry battalion. Coupled with the simple structure, it is not only convenient for wartime production, but also easy to use and maintain.

The Type 92 infantry gun weighed only 0.212 tons, so the requirements for transportation were low, and in the absence of vehicles, untrained animal or manpower could be towed forward. In addition, it can be disassembled and transported, and the requirements for road conditions in the war zone are almost reduced to the lowest point. It can be said that the Type 92 infantry gun is an infantry gun that can truly accompany the infantry battalion unconditionally. (In fact, it was almost the same, in World War II, as long as there was a large-scale operation above the Japanese brigade, almost all of them were mixed with Type 92 infantry guns)

The Type 92 infantry gun was a very short gun, with a total height of only 62 centimeters, and that includes the height of the shield, which drops to about 50 centimeters if the shield is removed - a height that is about the same as a heavy machine gun. This means that the Type 92 infantry gun can be easily hidden. This is a very useful advantage for infantry artillery that needs to fight in the line of fire. Taking advantage of this advantage, the Type 92 infantry gun can be deployed covertly at a very close distance from the enemy's target, giving full play to the accuracy, suddenness and ferocity of fire. And give the infantry the support they need at the first time.

Development began in November 1928, trial production of prototype guns was completed in March 1930, and the design was finalized in July 1932, and more than 3,000 units were manufactured at the Osaka Army Arsenal and the Nagoya Army Arsenal.

There is no reason for Ouyang Yu not to use such a good weapon, and the development and production time is also very high, it didn't cost much merit to light it up, and it is relatively cheap, a cannon only costs two hundred silver coins, Ouyang Yu is currently only equipped with a series of tests to test the actual combat effect, and now it seems that the situation is very good, and she plans to wait for the end of this battle to equip a large number of them.

Under the cover of machine guns and artillery, the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army slowly but firmly approached the trenches of the imperial army, and after a wave of grenades, the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army who were lying on the ground jumped up, rushed into the trenches of the imperial army with rifles loaded with bayonets, and started hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the imperial army.

"Kill!"

A soldier of Ouyang Yu's army had just stabbed a bayonet into the enemy's body, and then he was attacked by two soldiers of the imperial army and stabbed through the stomach with a bayonet, and the two soldiers of the imperial army were knocked down by a pistol before they could draw their bayonets.

"Dadada......!"

An elite soldier of Ouyang Yu's army was holding a Suomi submachine gun, pulled the trigger and did not release a drum, and seventy rounds of bullets went down to put down sixteen or seven soldiers of the imperial army, and then he did not change the drum but took out a pistol, and after killing three soldiers of the imperial army, he changed the drum under the cover of his comrades.

Equipped with a large number of submachine guns and pistols, Ouyang Yu's army quickly gained the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, and the imperial army on the first line of positions was defeated and retreated, and Ouyang Yu's army occupied the first position of the imperial army relatively smoothly after paying a certain price, and after capturing the first position, under Ouyang Yu's order, Ouyang Yu's army did not stop attacking the second position along the communication trench, intending to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the imperial army, and capture all three positions in one go.

"It's over, it seems that today is the time for us to kill and serve the country. ”

Lieutenant General Merlin regretfully put down the telescope and picked up the magic crystal rifle beside him, the southern position was broken through, and the rest of the positions were also pinned down by Ouyang Yu's army and could not send troops to support in the past, even if the troops were transferred to the south, it would be useless, because the offensive of Ouyang Yu's army in the other three directions was also quite fierce, if the troops were drawn from the three defense lines in the east, west and north to reinforce the south, then Ouyang Yu could make the south a feint at any time, and turn other directions into the main attack, and the imperial army's defense line in the highlands would also be broken through, so Lieutenant General Merlin did not dare and could not draw troops from the other three directions。

After the first line of the Imperial Army was broken through, Lieutenant General Merlin sent all the people around him to the south, including civilian officers, cooks and grooms who did not have much combat effectiveness.

"Will ...... Your Excellency, look over there!"

Lieutenant General Merlin's adjutant had always had a good look in his eyes, and was loyal to Lieutenant General Merlin, and was about to go into battle with him, when the adjutant accidentally saw billowing smoke and dust in the southwest, and a conspicuous military flag waving in the wind.

Lieutenant General Merlin immediately raised his binoculars after being alerted by his adjutant, and a unicorn battle flag with hoofed hooves was clearly visible in the binoculars.

"The Fifth Cavalry Corps is the Fifth Cavalry Corps! The Fifth Cavalry Corps has come to reinforce us! We are saved!"

Many of the Imperial soldiers who were fighting fiercely saw the arrival of reinforcements, and the morale that had fallen to the bottom instantly rose to the highest, bursting out with a strong fighting spirit and a strong desire to survive, and the retreating front was quickly stabilized, and even recaptured some lost positions, the news of the arrival of reinforcements quickly spread among the Imperial soldiers who were fighting the high grounds, and the Imperial soldiers on the other three sides were also like the Imperial soldiers in the south, as if they had strengthened their resistance, and they were no longer afraid of the bullets that came in, and they sacrificed their lives to shoot at Ouyang Yu's army, and the eight battalions of Ouyang Yu's army besieging the highlands were completely suppressed。

Ouyang Yu also saw the arrival of the Fifth Cavalry Army of the Imperial Army, the number of the Fifth Cavalry Army who came to reinforce was as many as more than 10,000 people, and there were more than 10,000 artillery and baggage teams behind, and the army under Ouyang Yu was scattered from the beginning of the pursuit battle, so she now no longer had any troops except for the personal guards of more than 100 people.

"Let's withdraw!"

Ouyang Yu, who was afraid of death, didn't even care about the troops that were attacking, boarded the command car and ran away.

But this is not to blame Ouyang Yu, this is because the eight battalions of troops are engaged in the battle and can't withdraw if they want to, the imperial army on the high ground will definitely be entangled and refuse to let go, and the attacking troops have been fighting for several hours in a row, most of the physical strength of the soldiers has been consumed, and the organization is relatively chaotic, the soldiers of the first company may be fighting with the second company, and the soldiers of the second company are fighting with the first company, in short, it is more difficult to carry out the order, and finally the attacking troops are now in the unconcealed high ground, in the face of a large number of menacing cavalry, the defense organized in a hurry will not be of any use at all, and it will be a matter of time before the enemy is annihilated, it is useless for her Ouyang Yu to stay here, it is better to retreat as soon as possible and wait for revenge later.

There may be book friends who will ask Ouyang Yu why he didn't temporarily recruit system soldiers to fight, here Baozi will explain first, the recruitment of the protagonist will never be carried out in broad daylight, and the big change of living people can also conjure up advanced weapons and equipment, if this ability is exposed, the protagonist will definitely become the target of public criticism, whether it is the Eastern Coalition Army or the Phoenix Empire, they will not let her go.
