Li Hong's behavior was very abnormal, and when ordinary people learned that the devils had invaded the city, the first thing they observed must be the grim situation in the city.

On the contrary, he didn't seem to care about the situation in the city, but scouted the attacking troops and fire support troops on the outside of the devils.

The enemy didn't know that reinforcements from the security corps had arrived for the time being, and there was just an opportunity to stab the enemy in the back.

Of course, this knife can't be used casually, it must accurately cut into the enemy's sore spots.

Otherwise, given the current unfavorable battle situation, if the enemy's artillery positions are not knocked out first, if the security regiment rushes to support, it will soon be suppressed by the enemy's powerful firepower.

The 1st and 5th Battalions were only the vanguard, and did not carry large-caliber artillery, but were only equipped with some mortars, so they could not be tough with the enemy.

After a while, Li Hong's eyes fell on the camp of the 53rd Wing of the Devils, and the sound of gunfire in the distance was deafening, but the 53rd Wing did not attack, but only carried out artillery support.

The 53rd Wing is only a second-class combat unit, and the task of the wing is only to assist in the attack, with the elite 37 Brigade and regiment present, the 53rd Wing can only watch the excitement from the sidelines.

Immediately, Li Hong moved his telescope and turned his gaze to the highest points of the mountains outside the city.

Outside Nanguan County, there is only a hidden supreme point in the mountains, and there is a high probability that the little devil headquarters will be set up near the mountains.

His gaze searched the mountains in the distance for a while, and suddenly, a smile appeared on Li Hong's face.

"Herald!"

"Here!!"

The two heralds hurried over.

"Order the first battalion of artillery to attack the mountainside three kilometers ahead with incendiary bombs, order the fifth battalion of artillery to launch an artillery attack on the devil artillery position, and the rest of the troops will follow me to launch a surprise attack from the enemy's flank!"

"Yes, Tuanza!!"

The herald quickly ran away, and then conveyed Li Hong's order to the various departments.

The artillery of the 1st and 5th battalions received orders, and the artillerymen, armed with mortars and shells, moved closer to the target.

Soon, the two battalions found a suitable artillery position, the first battalion of artillery loaded with incendiary bombs and aimed at the halfway point of the ridge ahead, and the artillery of the fifth battalion aimed at the artillery position of the 53rd Wing of the Devil.

"Cannon !!"

"Tom, tom, tom!"

The first to carry out the shelling was the artillery of the first battalion.

More than two dozen 90-mm mortars fired a salvo, and a dense stream of incendiary shells bombarded the mountainside two kilometers away.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The shells fell one after another, and the incendiary agent in the body of the projectile flew everywhere, and the flames of the explosion suddenly rose into the air.

There are many trees and flammable materials in the mountain forest, and the fire spreads rapidly around the mountain.

A battalion of artillery fired incendiary bombs continuously, and in the blink of an eye, the mountainside became a sea of fire, high flames danced in the wind, and burning black smoke filled the mountains.

"Bagaya Road, it's an incendiary bomb!!"

The little devils near the mountainside were shouting incessantly, and the enemy ran around to avoid the fire.

There were not many little devils on the mountainside, only one brigade headquarters, plus some soldiers in charge of guarding, and the total number was only two or three hundred.

However, this is the headquarters of the Devil's Brigade, and there are many Devil's officers.

Not far from the brigade headquarters, dozens of devil officers and soldiers were contaminated with flames, and their bodies were burned to the flesh, and they screamed miserably.

"Ahh......h

The devil officers and soldiers screamed in pain while calling out to their companions for help.

Once the clothes on your body are burned by incendiary bombs, it is difficult to extinguish the flames even if you jump into the water, and if you dare to rescue them, you will also be burned.

Kitada Sukegawa watched his subordinates burn alive, and his angry teeth gurgled.

"Bagaya Road, where did the artillery come out, who exactly attacked our headquarters!?"

Kitada Sukegawa scolded a few times, the pungent and choking smoke, tortured him to death, very embarrassed.

"General, it's dangerous here, quick, quick, protect the general's evacuation!"

Several devil officers covered Kitada Sukegawa with wet towels and picked his nose, and then a group of devil officers and soldiers quickly escorted him out of the mountains.

The entire mountainside was almost covered by fire, and on the way to escape, many devil officers and soldiers were burned to death by the fire or suffocated by the smoke.

Of the two or three hundred devil officers and soldiers, less than half of them eventually fled to safety.

At the same time, the artillery positions of the 53rd Wing of the Devils were also hit by artillery fire from the 5th Battalion of the Security Regiment.

"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane......"

The devil artillery on the position, suddenly, heard the screaming of shells, and shouted in horror one by one.

"Beware of artillery fire, beware of artillery fire, evade quickly, evade quickly!!"

The devil's artillery finds a hiding spot in the fastest time and makes evasive actions to avoid the damage of the shells.

The devil has reconnoitred the firepower configuration of the 53rd Army of the opposite Sichuan Army, and the firepower of the Sichuan Army is far worse than that of the Central Army, and the Sichuan Army is equipped with some mortars at most, and the long-range heavy artillery is not listed.

Therefore, the conceited little devil thinks that the range of the Sichuan artillery cannot hit the artillery position, and the devil artillery does not dig craters and bunkers on the position at all.

Although the devil artillery knew how to avoid the damage of shells, there was no hiding point to dodge around, and the first battalion of the devil artillery suffered heavy casualties.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Dense shells flew like locusts and smashed the devil's artillery positions.

There was a violent tremor on the ground, and dozens of devil artillerymen were swept away by the shock wave of the cannonballs, their bodies were ruthlessly torn, and their stumps and broken arms were splashed everywhere.

"Ahh......h

The screams continued, and the ground was full of dead and wounded devil artillery.

The artillery fire covered for several minutes, and more than a dozen Type 92 infantry guns on the Devil Artillery position, as well as several field guns, were all destroyed, and the ground was covered with twisted barrels and other parts.

The artillery attack of the security regiment was very sudden, and the fire was constantly suppressed and covered, and the little devil artillery could not launch a counterattack at all.

The rest of the devil artillery was in a mess, crawling in all directions and fleeing away from the position.

The artillery of the two battalions of the security regiment shelled for a while, and soon transferred the artillery positions.

Li Hong stood on the highest point on the side of the mountain road and watched the battlefield situation for a moment, and then he led two battalions of troops to quickly launch a fierce attack on the devil soldiers outside the city.

The first battalion moved from the flank and carried out a surprise attack on the devil troops in front, and Li Hong led the fifth battalion straight to the south city gate and stabbed the devil in the back, which could solve the danger of the 53rd army of the Sichuan Army breaking the city.

"Security Corps, rush !!"

"Security Corps, rush !!"

The soldiers of the security regiment shouted and killed, and the soldiers were like a group of tigers out of the cage, bravely charging forward and fighting with the little devils.

"Da Da Da!"

"Tubu!"

Li Hong carried the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun and rushed to the front in the lead, while the rest of the officers and soldiers followed behind him, beating and rushing violently, and the devil troops attacking the south city gate were like a bamboo.
