However, their speed did not catch up with the speed at which Wang Chengzhu fired the cannonballs. Soon the explosion of shells and the sound of martyrdom were heard.

At this time, Wang Chengzhu did not have time to check the effect of his artillery bombardment, because he was taking care of the soldiers to transfer the artillery positions.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, the little devil's artillery is finished." Li Yunlong rushed into the telescope and saw that the location of the devil's artillery position was in flames, so he said to Zhao Gang with a smile.

"Lao Li, don't be happy yet, look, the devil is attacking." Zhao Gang saw a team of devils coming towards him from the telescope, so he said to Li Yunlong with some nervousness.

Hearing Zhao Gang's words? Li Yunlong hurriedly took the binoculars and looked at the demons in this group of marching. Sure enough, the devils in yellow clothes rushed in the direction of the first battalion in a scattered formation.

"Huzi, tell Wang Chengzhu to let him shoot at the attacking devils." Li Yunlong thought for a while and said to Huzi on the side.

Huzi heard Li Yulong's order and turned around and went to find Wang Chengzhu.

And on the positions of the first battalion.

"Battalion commander, the little devils are attacking. The soldier in charge of observation said to Zhang Dabiao.

"Tell the fighters to get the devil closer to a hundred meters before fighting." Zhang Dabiao also paused his chat after hearing the soldier's report, but turned to the soldier beside him and ordered.

Hearing Zhang Dabiao's order, the soldiers decisively returned to their positions, picked up their guns and began to prepare.

At this time, Wang Chengzhu also got Li Yunlong's order.

"Tell the platoon that when the devils are close to the position of the Yin First Battalion at a distance of 300 meters, they will launch an artillery bombardment on the devils."

didn't wait long, just when the little devil was close to the position of the first battalion for three hundred meters, the soldiers in the first platoon decisively opened fire and fired three rapid shots at the little devil.

Although the shelling caused some casualties to the little devils, Wang Cheng's platoon was also afraid that the devil's artillery would not be completely wiped out, so they moved after firing three shells.

And the attacking devils, after being shelled, also decisively chose to retreat.

"Yaga." When Nakajima saw the withdrawn soldiers, he was scolded angrily.

"Sir, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong, if you rush forward, it will purely increase casualties." Don't withdraw the squadron leader complained to Nakajima.

"Yaga, you are a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, are you afraid of the artillery fire?" Nakajima Feng angrily kicked the devil squadron leader and said.

Nakajima Feng was really angry, originally he came to direct command as the chief of staff of the 69th Division, but the people below were a little unconvinced.

"Your Excellency, such a fierce artillery fire, I will not give you more credit for the lives of my soldiers, if you want to attack, then you charge ahead, we will definitely follow your will to attack. If you don't dare yourself, then don't count on us, unless there is artillery support. The squadron leader who was kicked to the ground by Nakajima Feng said hard,

After all, they were originally transferred by the commander to support the 69th Division, but they didn't expect that after they came, they used themselves as cannon fodder, and he definitely couldn't accept this kind of task.

"Baga Yalu, do you still have me, the chief of staff of the division, in your eyes?" When Nakajima heard his words, he became even more angry.

Actually, what this squadron leader said is right, in the devil army, the position of chief of staff is a very awkward position, and the rank is much lower than that of officers of the same level.

Therefore, in the devil's army, the chief of staff is generally not very respected, and they all think that they are a group of incompetent people, and the command is playing tricks. Especially a person like him, who oversteps his command and uses others as cannon fodder.

"Your Excellency, if you can't do it, let's find a way to defeat the artillery of the Eighth Road." After the devil squadron leader finished speaking, he got up directly and turned to leave.

Hearing the squadron leader's words, Nakajima's face was gloomy and terrifying, and when he saw the squadron leader turn away from him, he decisively took out his pistol and shot at the squadron leader.

"You .........." The squadron leader collapsed before he could finish speaking.

The sound of the gunfire also alarmed the others, and they all looked at Nakajima Feng incredulously, Nakajima Feng put away the gun very calmly, and then said: "This person does not obey the order and obeys the command, and will be shot directly on the spot, if there is any one among you who does not obey the command in the future, then the fate will be the same as him." After Nakajima Feng finished speaking, he looked at everyone viciously. Then, regardless of the expressions on their faces, he continued: "The first brigade and the second brigade immediately attacked. ”

After Nakajima finished speaking, he looked at the squadron leader of the first and second squadrons on the side.

After hearing Nakajima's words, the two also looked back at Nakajima, and found that Nakajima's eyes were looking directly at them. If the eyes can kill, they will definitely be killed, so they are a little afraid to rebound. "Hayi, let's go assemble and attack. ”

Seeing that the two of them were so interested, Nakajima Feng didn't speak, but picked up a telescope to observe the situation in Dagu Town.

The others were stunned and motionless, and the corpses on the ground were still the soldiers of the squadron just now, pulling the corpse of their squadron leader down.

And on the side of Dagu Town, Zhang Dabiao saw that the little devil retreated, and he was also a little puzzled and didn't know why the little devil did this, and Liu was blown up twice by his own cannonball, so it wouldn't be like this.

"Damn, what is this little devil doing, we haven't fired at the fire point yet, but we just retreated after being blown up by a shell." Zhang Dabiao said to the staff officer on his side: "You said that the little devil did this, did he want to lure out the position of our artillery position?" ”

"Probably not." The staff officer of the first battalion frowned and said: "I didn't see the devil artillery firing just now, besides, with the urine of the pillar, the position was transferred long after the artillery was fired, and the little devil could be caught." ”

At this moment, the chief of staff saw through the telescope that groups of little devils were rushing up in the direction of their positions in a scattered formation.

"Battalion commander, battalion commander, the little devil is attacking again."

Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao picked up the binoculars and looked at them, and ordered as he looked: "Tell the soldiers to get ready, the little devil is here again." ”

However, in Zhang Dabiao's heart, this defensive battle should be very easy, after all, up to now, the little devil's artillery has not yet fired, which proves that eighty percent of the devil's artillery has been killed by the artillery company. Otherwise, depending on the urine nature of the little devil, there will definitely be artillery support when charging.

At this moment, there was a burst of shell explosions in the attacking ranks of the devils.

"Battalion commander, the brothers of the artillery company opened fire." One of the fighters shouted excitedly, his eyes unable to hide his joy.

However, Zhang Dabiao did not have a chance for this soldier, but held a telescope and stared at the devil's attacking team. He knew that it wasn't that simple.

Artillery, artillery as expected, although it was shelled by a new regiment, but the little devil did not choose to take a step back this time, but stared at the artillery fire and rushed towards their position.

And Zhang Dabiao was not panicked in his heart, although the devil did not retreat after finding the shelling, but the soldiers on his side were not vegetarians.

Soon the devils took an S-shaped route, dodging the bombardment of artillery fire while rushing towards the position where the first battalion was located.

After a while, they came to a distance of less than five hundred meters from the position of the first battalion, and at this time the fire of the artillery company of the new regiment also stopped, after all, it was too close to it, and it was easy to bomb it by mistake.

"Ready." Zhang Dabiao saw that the little devil was getting closer and closer to his side, so he shouted loudly.

"Don't be nervous, just follow your usual training time, just aim at the devil and pull the trigger." A veteran looked at the new recruit's body shaking next to him, and spoke.

"Yes, squad leader." The recruit heard his platoon commander's words, tried to relax himself, and forced himself to do the way he had been in training.

When Zhang Dabiao saw that the devil was less than 100 meters away from him, he decisively pulled the trigger of the shell gun in his hand.

The soldiers of the first battalion saw that their battalion commander had made a move, so they did not hesitate to pick up the weapons and ammunition beside them, and leaned towards the little devil.

Suddenly, on the position of the first battalion, the sound of gunfire vibrose, and countless bullets shot towards the little devil.

And the attacking devils, seeing this, immediately lay down to avoid the oncoming bullets. But there were still a lot of people who didn't have time to react, and were hit by bullets fired by a battalion of fighters, plus there were also a part of large-caliber machine guns, firing range sieves, or torn in half.

And the devils who had already climbed down were shooting at the soldiers of the first battalion. At this time, the combat quality of the devil is still good. Seeing several machine-gun firing points in the first battalion, the devils had already set up grenadiers on their side, and several machine-gun firing points had been eliminated.

Seeing this, Zhang Dabiao immediately let the heavy machine gun fire for a while and then decisively transferred, leaving no chance for the little devil.

"Tell the sharpshooters in the battalion to pick out the devil's grenadiers for shooting." Zhang Dabiao saw that the devil had set up a grenadier and knocked out several of his own firepower points in a row, so he shouted loudly at the soldiers beside him.

"Yes." When the soldier heard Zhang Dabiao's order, he immediately pushed down and passed the order.

Since the establishment of the elite squad in the new regiment, each battalion has also trained a group of sharpshooters by itself, but in terms of training, it is certainly not as sufficient as the elite squad in terms of bullets.

But it can be hit accurately, and according to the needs of the battlefield, the requirements are not very good, and basically each battalion has formed a platoon of sharpshooter squads.

Soon, the sharpshooters of the first battalion, under the order of Zhang Dabiao, shot the grenadiers of the devil and the command staff at the bottom one after another, and the other part began to shoot the machine gunners of the devil.

This caused a lot of trouble for the little devils.

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, there are too many sharpshooters on the other side, and the grenadiers and machine gunners on our side don't dare to come forward at all." A devil officer ran over and reported to the squadron leader of the second squadron.

"Yaga." The squadron leader of the second team scolded secretly, because he had seen what had just happened in the telescope,

"Retreat." He had no choice but to give the order to retreat, although he would be scolded by Nakajima Feng for doing so, but no one could withstand such firepower from the Eighth Route Army, and besides, he didn't want to be cannon fodder for Nakajima Feng.

"Hayi." When this devil heard the squadron leader's words, he immediately went down to deliver the retreat order, after all, if it was conveyed a little earlier, the soldiers on his side would have fewer casualties.

Soon after the devil received the order to retreat, he quickly retreated to the rear.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is too strong, and we need artillery support." The captain of the second team who retreated said to Nakajima.

Nakajima didn't say anything after hearing this, but picked up the binoculars and observed for a while before he spoke: "Send a telegram to Your Excellency the Division Commander, just say that our attack has been blocked, and the artillery has sacrificed their lives for His Majesty the Emperor in the duel with the Shina Artillery, and ask His Excellency the Division Commander to provide artillery support." ”

Nakajima Feng didn't want to ask Muto for help, but it couldn't be if he didn't ask for help now, after all, the position of the Eighth Route Army could not be attacked for a long time, and sooner or later His Excellency the division commander would know.

"Hayi, I'll go to His Excellency the division commander to send a telegram." The little devil on the side heard Nakajima's words, and quickly turned around and ran to send a triple telegram to Muto.

Seeing this, several devil officers on the side also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally did not have to slow down the enemy's artillery fire to charge.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, an urgent telegram from the front." The telegraph operator rushed into Muto's office with a telegram and reported to him: "Your Excellency the division commander, Nakajima-kun said that their artillery has been destroyed by the new regiment, and now the attack is blocked. ”

"Nani, at the beginning of the fighting, the artillery was killed by the Chinese army? What does the artillery commander eat, don't you know how to hide? Muto Mibe said a little angrily when he heard the news.

"Let the artillery squadron set off to reinforce Nakajima-kun." Muto said after three times the fire was finished.

After all, without the cover of artillery, it is not impossible to rely on infantry charging alone, but in this way the casualties will definitely increase, which is not what he wants to see.

And it didn't take long for Nakajima Feng to receive a threefold call back from Muto.

So Nakajima Feng said to the commander under his command: "Youxi, let everyone take a rest, wait for the artillery squadron to come, and then continue to attack Dagu Town, let everyone eat first." ”

"Hayi." Several officers heard Nakajima's words, responded to him, and then each returned to his unit and began to prepare everyone for dinner.

On a hillside not far from Nakajima Feng, Wei Dayong was leading two people to observe the terrain here.

"Captain, depending on the situation, this seems to be the temporary headquarters of the devil." Wang Xiaoer took the binoculars and looked at them for a while, and said to Wei Dayong with some excitement.

"Leave one person here and keep an eye on the devil. Let's go back and tell the regimental commander first, and then let the brothers of the artillery company cover this place with fire and kill their headquarters, so that the pressure on us will be much less. After Wei Dayong finished speaking, he assigned a person to continue to observe the situation of the devil here, because of the situation he saw just now, the devil seemed to be about to eat, and he should not transfer the command in a short time, so Wei Dayong wanted to move faster, after all, it would change later.
