Captain Shojiro Kanhara is the leader of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army and the 7th Squadron of the 40th Infantry Wing.

At this time, he was ordered to lead the 7th Squadron, a machine gun squadron, and a company of the puppet army to defend the high ground on both sides of the road.

These two heights are about 2.5 kilometers away from Dagu Town, and 2 kilometers away from the outer positions of the new 1st Regiment in Dagu Town.

It was the choke point of the road into Dagu Town, but the new regiment did not build a position here to defend against the Japanese attack.

But relying on this terrain, the devils built a lot of fortifications around it, and also buried a few minefields and anti-infantry obstacles.

At about 12 p.m., the sappers of the Engineer Wing were digging a tunnel.

Squadron Leader Shojiro Guan Hara was about to lie down in the headquarters to rest when he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound in his ears.

The devils who have been on the battlefield for a long time can naturally judge that this is the sound of a cannonball cutting through the air at high speed.

"Shelling!"

"Hidden!"

Shojiro Guanhara's figure rushed into the nearest anti-artillery hole at an extremely fast speed.

Many devils and puppet soldiers also heard the whistling of cannonballs, and hurriedly looked up, only to see that the dark night sky was covered with dark red trails.

Seeing this scene, the devil puppet army was frightened, and hurriedly jumped into the civil fortifications in the trenches to hide.

But it was too late, and the next second the whistling sounded, the first round of shells had already galloped down on the position.

"Boom, boom!"

In the explosion like a landslide, a series of explosions were heard in the devil's position, accompanied by fire and gunsmoke, and the swept shock wave was sandrapnel, harvesting the lives of the devil's puppet army like a sickle.

The devils built civil fortifications, which were difficult to defend against even 75 mm mountain guns, let alone 105 mm and 150 mm howitzers.

With just one round of shells, the devil's civil fortifications were blown to shreds.

The color of the night and the gunsmoke were the same, but the fireworks produced by the explosion were even brighter, and the dense explosion fireworks were connected together, drowning the devil's position in a sea of fire.

In the face of such ferocious artillery fire, even if the devil puppet army was hidden in trenches or anti-artillery holes, it was blown up by large-caliber howitzer shells.

"Yaga!"

In the command headquarters, Squadron Leader Shojiro Guan Yuan was shocked for a while, and scolded a word of goga.

The firepower of this artillery far exceeded that of the two artillery wings of the Locust Army, and it was not difficult to distinguish from the explosion of shells fired by the Eighth Route Army that the Eighth Route Army used 60-mm mortars, 82-mm mortars, 75-mm mountain guns, 105-mm howitzers, and 150-mm howitzers.

It's outrageous, don't you want money for shells?

Two palm-sized positions, using the fire of two artillery wings? How can this be fought?

Eight Paths, please be human!

In the midst of cursing, Guan Yuan Shojiro pushed away the phone soldier, and as soon as he picked up the phone, the voice of the captain came from his ears: "Moses Moses, is it the 7th squadron?" ”

Guan Yuan Zhangjiro hurriedly said: "Hey, this is the 7th squadron, Your Excellency Captain, I am the squadron leader Guan Yuan Zhangjiro!" ”

"What's going on with you?"

Guan Yuan Zhangjiro said: "The Eighth Route mobilized two artillery wings to shell our position and ask for tactical guidance!" ”

"Nani?"

"Two artillery wings?"

Although the captain of the devil brigade knew that the artillery fire of the Eighth Route was very fierce, he did not expect that it was two artillery wings that were bombarding the position at the same time.

"I'll send the 8th Squadron over immediately, your squadron must hold its position to the death!"

"If the position is lost, you will wait for the disembowelment to apologize!"

After the captain of the devil team finished speaking indifferently, he hung up the phone with a snap.

Listening to the blind voice on the phone, Guan Yuan Zhangjiro hung up the phone angrily, this kind of artillery firepower, no one can hold it!

After 10 minutes of shelling by two artillery wings, the sound of the explosion became sparse until it completely disappeared.

Shojiro Kanhara took a deep breath and saw that the position in front of him had turned into a sea of fire, and almost all the civil fortifications had been overturned.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Guan Yuan Shojiro knows the number of roads on the Eighth Road, and the infantry of the Eighth Road will definitely rush after the artillery bombardment, all of them are learning the tactics of the Locust Army.

Following his order, the devil puppet army, who survived the shelling, picked up his weapons and aimed ahead.

Although the artillery fire of the new regiment is very strong, it is impossible to kill all the devils and puppet troops on the position with a wave of artillery bombardment.

However, the tunnel of the Devil Engineer Wing had just begun to be excavated, so the first round of shelling caused about two-thirds of the casualties of the Devil and the puppet army.

Before the devil's grenadier fired the flare, a shout of killing suddenly sounded in front of him, and the surviving devil puppet soldiers immediately picked up the weapons in their hands and shot at the front of the position.

Da Da...

The remaining 10 or so light and heavy machine guns screamed wildly, and the rain of bullets rained down on the front of the position.

That's when it happened.

Suddenly, a dark red shell trail streaked across the night sky, and in the explosion, a heavy machine gun fire point was lifted into the air.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen shells hit the heavy machine-gun fire points on the position, and at least one-third of the fire points were instantly muted.

The remaining firing points immediately stopped firing, but the position was already exposed, and it was blown up by a series of shells coming from the darkness.

】

"Nani?"

Shojiro Guan Yuan was dumbfounded.

There were no bullets in the dark, but there were shells, and the power of these shells must have been at least 75 mm.

Eight ways to push the 75-mm mountain gun to a few hundred meters and aim for direct fire?

After thinking about it, Guan Yuan Zhangjiro scolded angrily: "Baga, are there still grenadier soldiers alive, hurry up and hit the flare!" ”

"Hugh, Hugh!"

Two groups of grenadiers fired two flares in front of them.

Within a radius of a few hundred meters, it was instantly illuminated as daytime, and the effect of the devil's flare was not as good as that provided by Boss Chen, and it could only illuminate the surrounding area for a few hundred meters.

Shojiro Guan Yuan hurriedly raised the binoculars and looked.

I saw that in the dark, a few hundred meters away, more than a dozen tanks were firing at the positions of the Locust Army and the Locust Cooperative Army.

"Artillery support!"

Shojiro Guan Hara grabbed the phone, shook the handle vigorously, and then shouted loudly.

By the time the devil's artillery had completed their reporting position, firing at Zhu Yuan and test firing, 12 tanks had already left the attack position.

After most of the Devil's machine-gun fire points were destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 1st Battalion of the New 2nd Regiment began to attack, and because the minefields had been cleared by artillery fire, it took less than 8 minutes for the infantry to occupy the high ground on both sides of the road by the devils and the puppet army.

At this time, a squadron of devils and a company of puppet troops arrived.

The second and third companies took the initiative to abandon the positions they had just captured and withdrew before the devils entered the position.

As soon as the devil and the puppet army entered the position, they thought that their arrival had scared the Eighth Route Army away, and when they were complacent, a group of shells fell on the heads of the devil puppet army.

After the shelling was over, under the cover of the tanks, the second and third companies counterattacked, and easily regained their positions.

The main thing is a cannon and a lot of shells.

……

At the same time.

More than 10,000 men of the new regiment, from the main roads and small roads, under the cover of tanks and artillery groups, launched the most fierce attack on the 10th Division.

In order to prevent the new regiment from breaking through, the devil's engineer wing built a large number of fortifications on both the main road and the small road, and the counterattack of the new regiment was naturally a full-scale counteroffensive.

In less than half an hour, the good news of the attacking troops from all walks of life reached the regimental headquarters of the new regiment one after another.

The first line of defense of the Japanese 10th Division was rapidly crumbling.

……

Heyuan County.

10th Division Headquarters.

"Division commander, Lieutenant General Tanabe, according to the battle report from the front, the new regiment of the Eighth Route has launched a comprehensive counterattack from Dagu Town, Lijia Town, and 9 small roads."

General Yoshiyoshi Asada, chief of staff of the 10th Division, reported the battle report to Jiro Ishikawa and Moritake Tanabe:

"The new regiment received a large number of air supplies a few days ago, and the offensive was very fierce, especially the artillery fire was very fierce, and the artillery wing of the 10th Division was completely suppressed, and almost all units were asking for tactical guidance!"

Jiro Ishikawa and Moritake Tanabe's faces suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

They both guessed that the new regiment would counterattack, but they didn't expect the counterattack of the new regiment to come so quickly and so fiercely.

Without saying a word, he directly smashed the head of the 10th Division with a shell, who can withstand this?

The locust army can't afford to fight such a rich battle, are the shells of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army blown by the wind, and what is the source of the assistance channel behind Li Yunlong?

Jiro Ishikawa suddenly thought of the 108th Field Artillery Wing, which was originally reinforced by the 10th Division during the war.

However, in the Xinzhou battlefield, the 108th Wing of the Field Artillery was in the open plain terrain and was called in by the air support from the Eighth Road, and it was completely reimbursed at once.

Otherwise, with the artillery wing of the 10th Division, the 108th field artillery wing, plus the mountain artillery, infantry artillery and mortars of the brigades and regiments, they would have the strength to compete with the artillery of the new regiment.

Of course, the 10th Division did not have as many shells as the new one.

Moreover, it is necessary to carry a wing of baggage troops to continuously transport war materials from Taiyuan and Datong to the front line.

The new regiment only needs to pick up the radio station and call, and the transport plane can airdrop war materials overhead.

It's really more people than people have to die, and goods have to be thrown away.

Ishikawa Jiro said in a deep voice: "I don't believe that the new regiment can really defeat our 10th Division!" ”

The combat effectiveness of the 10th Division can be ranked among the first divisions, but I didn't expect that it is now facing the situation of being defeated by a regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

The main thing was that the counterattack of the new regiment was not expected to come so quickly, and the engineer wing had not yet had time to dig the tunnel fortifications.

Otherwise, with the kind of tunnel tactics of the new regiment, the new regiment will definitely be able to suffer.

"Ishikawa-kun, you are the commander of the 10th Division, you must calm down now!"

Tanabe Moritake reminded that he knew that Jiro Ishikawa was just a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he couldn't accept the fact that the 10th Division couldn't beat a regiment on the Eighth Road.

"Tanabe-kun, I don't need you to remind me, I'm calm now!" Ishikawa Jiro said coldly, and then looked at the chief of staff, "Asada-kun, immediately order the engineer wing to withdraw to the second line of defense, and build tunnel fortifications as quickly as possible, each wing will resist the new regiment at all costs in the first line of defense, and if the new regiment wants to defeat the 10th Division of Great Japan, it depends on whether they have the ability!" ”

"Also, order the 10th Cavalry Wing to prepare for an attack!"

"Hey!" Yoshiyoshi Asada bowed his head and brushed the proposed telegram.

Tanabe Moritake said in a deep voice at the communication staff officer on the side: "Jin Shanjun, immediately report the situation here to the front army headquarters, and at the same time order the 21st Division, 23rd Division, 25th Division, and 35th Division to speed up the attack!" ”

The 10th Division fought with the New Eighth Regiment for half a month here, and it already had a deep understanding of the strength of the New Regiment.

In this half-month battle, not only the 10th Division, but also the entire Japanese army reacquainted itself with the new regiment.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the 10th Division to defeat a new regiment with the 10th Division when it suffers a quarter of the casualties.

Now the 10th Division can only hold on, and wait until the other four divisions come together to completely eliminate the new regiment.

"Hey!" Jin Shan nodded on the left, turned around and began to prepare a telegram.

……

Big Lonely Town.

The new regimental headquarters.

Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong: "Report to the regiment commander, all artillery groups are in full swing, and more than 15,000 shells have been fired at the positions of the Japanese puppet army in two hours. ”

The rate of fire of a 60-mm mortar can reach 30 rounds per minute, and that of an 82-mm mortar can reach a rate of fire of more than 20 rounds per minute.

The new regiment had more than 450 guns of various calibers, and the shells poured shells towards the positions of the devils as if they didn't need money.

As soon as the attacking troops discover that the devils have assembled troops to counterattack the position, the attacking troops will immediately withdraw from their positions, call for artillery fire to cover them, and then recapture their positions after the artillery fire is over.

After such repeated battles, the shells of the new regiment were rapidly consumed, and the casualties of the devils and puppet troops were also rapidly increasing.

After such repeated pulling, the casualties of the new regiment of fighters were not large.

"I'll be a good girl!" Xing Zhiguo smiled in shock, "In two hours, more than 15,000 shells were fired? It's enough for the little devil to drink a big pot. ”

"What is this?" Li Yunlong's tone was arrogant, "We still have 200,000 shells, and some of them are cannonballs playing with devils." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng, and his tone was full of expectation: "Advisor Chen, after these 200,000 shells are fired, you will continue to airdrop them over there, right?" ”

Chen Feng on the side nodded: "In this battle, even if you knock out 1 million shells, I will continue to arrange delivery." ”

"Hahaha!" Li Yunlong suddenly smiled and said, "Doing business with Consultant Chen is comfortable, and I will invite you to drink after this battle!" ”

In the past, Grand Master Li always said that he had never fought such a rich battle in his life.

And this battle is the richest battle that Grand Master Li has fought so far.

"Captain Li is polite." Chen Feng said, "The more shells you shoot, the better, it's best to let the little devil know what Li Yunlong's ammunition is." ”

Boss Chen still said that the wool of the dog system has to be slashed fiercely.

"Li Yunlong's ammunition?" Zhao Gang stared at the map and smiled without raising his head, "This word is fresh." ”

"Lao Zhao, what are you staring at the map all the time?" Li Yunlong asked.

"I'm thinking." Zhao Gang said, "This little devil of the 10th Division has a cavalry wing, and our cavalry only has one battalion, how to deal with them?" ”

At present, the cavalry battalion of the new regiment has nearly 600 cavalry, although more than 200 military horses were captured in the last battle in the Xinzhou Basin, but these 200 military horses have to be left to the second battalion of the cavalry of the new regiment.

Li Yunlong had already received a telegram from the headquarters that the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment had been incorporated into the new 1st Regiment, numbered the 2nd Cavalry Battalion of the New 1st Regiment.

At present, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion of the New 1st Regiment has returned to the team and joined up with the 6th and 7th Battalions of the New 1st Regiment Division to fight on the outer front.

"Haha!" Li Yunlong suddenly smiled, and his tone was quite confident, "Don't worry, our old Li has already thought of a way to deal with the devil's cavalry wing!" ”

Zhao Gang hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”
