Takeo Honda led the devils and the puppet army to enter the stronghold from the path.

Among them, there are more than 300 devils, more than 400 puppet soldiers, and there were originally 400 devils, but dozens of people were reimbursed under the shelling of the new regiment.

There was still a squad of more than 60 people in the stronghold, plus the devils who survived the shelling, the devils could barely make up the number of 400.

Moreover, Honda Takeo also brought a temporary artillery squadron, 4 70mm Type 92 infantry guns and 4 Type 97 81mm mortars.

The artillery squadron directly under the Japanese army is generally equipped with 6 Type 92 infantry guns, and the artillery squad directly under the brigade is equipped with 2 Type 92 infantry guns.

However, because the Honda Brigade is defending the county town in the hinterland of the base area, it is stronger than the ordinary brigade in terms of artillery firepower, in addition to 4 Type 92 infantry guns, there are also 4 Type 41 mountain guns, but Honda Takeo did not bring the mountain artillery, because he felt that 4 92 infantry guns were enough to defeat this group of eight roads.

Takeo Honda walked into the cannon tower surrounded by a group of devils.

Seeing Takeo Honda coming in person, Toshio Imai hurriedly paused and said, "Captain! ”

Honda Takeo's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word, but opened a bow left and right at Toshio Imai's cheek, and slapped it twice.

Toshio Imai was stunned on the spot, he didn't know what he did wrong, but he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and even took the initiative to straighten his head with the fan's crooked head.

The ghost soldiers and puppet soldiers in the turret were silent, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Baga, didn't you say that there are only 2 mortars in Balu?"

Although it wasn't entirely Toshio Imai's fault, Takeo Honda just wanted to find a face to slap in the face.

Toshio Imai is a good target, and slapping is more comfortable than slapping the table.

Toshio Imai paused: "The Eighth Route has set the mortar position on the anti-slope position, and my sentry can't see it. ”

"Yaga, are you still quibbling?"

"It's because of your intelligence mistakes that I lost 4 trucks and dozens of imperial soldiers!"

Takeo Honda slapped him twice again.

"Hey!" Toshio Imai hurriedly paused and straightened his face.

Takeo Honda asked sharply, "What happened to those Imperial Allies who were killed?" ”

Imai Toshio said: "Report to the captain, I want the Imperial Alliance Army to save the wounded soldiers of the Imperial Army, but I didn't expect that the Eighth Route actually did not save shells and implemented fire coverage on the Imperial Army!" ”

"By the way, the artillery of the Eighth Route is of high quality and understands the use of artillery fire into the barrage!"

"Nani?" Takeo Honda was stunned, "Xu Jin barrage? ”

Toshio Imai breathed a sigh of relief, I reported such an important situation, the captain will definitely not slap himself again, right?

However, before Toshio Imai could finish his anger, Takeo Honda's two slaps were on his face again.

The incredulous gaze in Toshio Imai's eyes flashed, and he quickly straightened his head, and his cheeks on both sides were so painful that he was about to lose consciousness, and he was about to swell into a pig's head.

Honda Takeo shook his hand slightly: "Imai-kun, report the current situation of the Eighth Road." ”

"Hey!" Toshio Imai paused before he dared to raise his head, "Captain, there is currently a battalion of eight roads in front of the stronghold, and the strength is about 400 people. ”

"The Eighth Route has already built civil fortifications and foxholes, and judging from the distribution of the fortifications and foxholes, the commander of the Eighth Route on the opposite side is a master."

"Yaga, do you still need to say this?" Takeo Honda scolded, "In addition to the mortars and the eight roads of these more than 400 people, do you have any other discoveries?" ”

"Other discoveries," said Toshio Imai after a moment's pause, "It seems that there are plenty of shells for the Eighth Road, and there are no other discoveries for the time being." ”

"But I suspect that there must be eight roads behind the dirt slope on the opposite side."

"It's not surprising." Honda Takeo waved his hand and said, "Eight-way operations generally leave reserves. ”

"Your Excellency, Captain." Toshio Imai said, "This is most likely a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and I suggest immediately requesting tactical guidance from the brigade commander." ”

"Yaga!"

"Is this something you should be thinking about as a squad leader?"

Takeo Honda glanced at Toshio Imai fiercely, but he still resisted the urge to slap him, after all, it would hurt to slap his hand too much.

Toshio Imai looked stunned, and hurriedly said, "Hi! ”

Takeo Honda walked quickly to the top of the turret, the view of the shooting hole inside the turret was limited, and only on the top of the turret could he see the whole picture of the eight-way position.

After observing the turret with a telescope, Toshio Imai hurriedly came up and reminded: "Be careful, captain, there are eight snipers on the opposite side, who can kill the target from a distance of 1,200 meters." ”

"1200 meters away?" Takeo Honda's first reaction was disbelief, "How is that possible?" Not even the best sharpshooters in the Empire can do it..."

Before Honda Takeo finished speaking, suddenly blood splashed his face, and he instinctively fell backwards, and turned around and lay on the turret while falling to the ground.

"Nani?" As soon as Takeo Honda turned his head, he saw that the chest of the staff officer who came with him was torn open with a large hole in the mouth of the bowl, and the blood soaked a large area of military uniform.

It was at this time that Takeo Honda heard gunshots coming from the opposite hill.

Honda Takeo's face changed, judging from the interval between the middle shot and the sound of the gunshot, the sharpshooter of the Eighth Route Army was really 1,200 meters away.

Immediately, his face was full of consternation, and if he could hit the target with a rifle at a position of 400 meters, he was already a sharpshooter in the Japanese army, and even the best snipers could hit a target at a maximum of 500 meters.

At a distance of 1200 meters, how is this possible?

What kind of weapon does the Eight Ways use?

Takeo Honda, Toshio Imai, and a few other devils didn't dare to show their heads anymore and climbed down the stairs from the top of the turret.

Takeo Honda, who returned to the third floor of the turret, immediately gave the order to attack.

"The artillery squad immediately opened fire on the eight-way position."

"Imai-kun, take your squad to launch the first attack on the Eighth Road, and I will let the Imperial Alliance Army cooperate!"

"Hey!" Toshio Imai hurriedly paused.

……

At the same time, on the hillside opposite the stronghold.

After Zhao Gang took a shot, he quickly changed positions with Li Yunlong.

More than half an hour ago, Zhao Gang blew up the head of a devil sentry, and he didn't change his position because there was no cannon in the stronghold.

However, now that the devil's reinforcements have arrived, they must have brought artillery, so they have to quickly change positions after firing a shot.

What snipers fear most is the enemy's artillery covering.

And you still have to respect the devil artillery.

Putting Barrett up again, Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the shot just now missed." ”

He originally wanted to hit the devil with the telescope, that is, Honda Takeo, but he didn't expect to hit the devil next to him.

Li Yunlong said angrily: "You can be content, the distance of 1,200 meters is one shot, we Lao Li don't dare to think about it." ”

Zhao Gang saw the movement of the devils in the stronghold from the scope, and said with a moving expression: "The devils seem to be about to start attacking the first battalion." ”

"See." Li Yunlong nodded, "It's expected by labor and management." ”

"Isn't that right?" Zhao Gang frowned and said, "Why did I only see devils and puppet soldiers, but not devil artillery?" ”

The Japanese puppet army with hundreds of people in the direction of the county town must have devil artillery.

Zhao Gang knew very well that the devil's cannon was the greatest threat to the soldiers.

"The devil must have set the artillery position on the anti-slope plane." Immediately, Zhao Gang saw his own artillery position and instantly realized.

The stone box stronghold was built by the devils halfway up the hillside, and if the devil artillery set up a cannon in the stronghold, it would be directly exposed to the range of their own artillery.

Only by constructing an artillery position on the anti-slope of a small hill could the devils avoid the shelling of the new regiment.

In this way, the artillery of the devils could not hit the artillery positions of the new regiment, and the artillery of the new regiment could not hit the artillery positions of the devils.

The advantage of placing artillery positions in anti-cline positions is that the artillery on the opposite side cannot hit.

However, the disadvantage is also obvious, if you set up your position on the slope of the mountain, once the enemy approaches the position, your artillery will not be able to provide artillery support.

That is to say, even if it is a curved artillery on the artillery position on the anti-slope, there is a certain blind spot for shooting.

If the new regiment attacks at this time, as long as the fighters can get close to the stronghold, the devil's cannon will not be able to hit.

However, the new regiment did not have this problem, because the position of the first battalion was placed by Li Yunlong at a distance of 400 meters from the soil slope, and the artillery of the turret could provide fire support at any time.

Li Yunlong also realized this problem, the devil's artillery is a big hidden danger.

After thinking for a while, Li Yunlong turned his head to Huang Erhu and said, "Huzi, go and call Lu Yingjun to me." ”

"Yes!" Huang Erhu walked back.

Huang Erhu didn't walk for long, and as Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang expected, a cannonball rose from the anticline of the opposite stronghold.

The shell landed in front of the position of the 1st battalion, and with a bang, it kicked up a fog of mud.

Not only Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, but also the soldiers who have fought with the devils many times know that this is a test firing before the shelling, and a reference for the accurate shooting parameters of the subsequent shells.

More than ten seconds later, the shells arrived as scheduled.

Boom boom...

Explosions continued to rise over the positions of the first battalion, and the civil bunkers that had not been built long ago were blown up in scattered places.

However, the fighters were scattered, and the casualties caused by these artillery fire were not large.

"4 infantry guns, 4 mortars, the devil is quite willing." Zhao Gang said.

"Lao Zhao, I can even hear how many cannons the devil has." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"What is this, you will know when you hear more." Zhao Gang said modestly.

I saw more than 200 puppet soldiers coming out of the stronghold under artillery fire, followed by 1 squad of devils.

Li Yunlong's tone was disdainful: "Damn, there's nothing new, it's still old-fashioned." ”

As soon as the devil's butt was raised, Li Yunlong knew what they were going to do.

Obviously, the devils want to use the puppet army to test out the machine gun fire point of the first battalion, and the devils set up grenadiers behind them to knock them out one by one, even if the grenadiers can't be knocked out, the devil artillery observers on the opposite hill can see it clearly, and then use the infantry guns to knock out the machine gun fire points.

In the roaring cannon, Lu Yingjun followed Huang Erhu to Li Yunlong's side.

"Commander, Lu Yingjun reports to you."

Li Yunlong glanced at Lu Yingjun, pointed to the top of the opposite mountain and said, "Did you see the top of the mountain behind the stronghold opposite?" ”

Lu Yingjun raised his binoculars to look, and there were shells rising from behind the top of the mountain, and then flew over the stronghold, the road, and the lawn, and smashed on the position of the first battalion.

"Commander, I saw it." Lu Yingjun nodded.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
