Chapter 51: The Roar of Cannons

Itakami Seishiro knew that the only possibility of the Eighth Route retreat was that something had happened to his artillery position.

"Baga, assemble troops, target artillery positions, can't let the artillery fall into the hands of the Eighth Road."

"Hi"

The devil's troops converged all the way to the artillery position, and the chief of staff and his troops also rushed to the front.

The return of Huzi and the others made Li Ping's heart feel relieved, and immediately asked them to join the defense line, picked up the binoculars, and a brigade of devils soon came.

The captain of the devil brigade almost vomited blood when he saw the artillery position on his side being taken.

"Baga, send a telegram to the division commander, the artillery wing has been annihilated, and now the position is in the hands of the Eighth Road."

Itakami Seishiro, who received the telegram, vomited blood directly, and his artillery wing was finished.

"Baga, order the troops, recapture the artillery positions"

The captain of the devil brigade who received the order immediately launched an attack, Li Ping sneered, and immediately ordered: "Let the artillery open fire, and don't let the devil rush into our defense line." ”

"Woohoo"

The cannonball landed on the way of the devil's charge, and the roar made the devil captain vomit blood, it was their shell.

With artillery, the Devil Brigade suffered heavy losses for a while and had to withdraw from the firing range of the artillery.

Li Ping saw that the cannon had only been launched by one-third of the way just now, so he turned his head to Commander Zhou and said: "Send the soldiers to carry the cannons and shells for the people in the artillery battalion, and let them prepare all the cannons for me, and Lao Tzu will give Banhuan Seishiro a big gift." ”

Commander Zhou quickly dispatched soldiers to help, and Li Ping saw that the devils were no longer attacking and felt at ease.

The chief of staff came quickly, and after arriving at the position, he came to Li Ping's side and said: "Brigade commander, it can be regarded as a take, and if it is a little later, Lao Guo and I will almost fold." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, nothing was more pleasing than the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Li Ping looked at the chief of staff after laughing, and said: "We still have to hold on for a while, and when the devil army arrives, I am going to let the artillery battalion fire only one-third of the artillery, and you let the soldiers prepare." ”

The chief of staff's eyes lit up and said: "Brigade commander, you are misleading the devils that we don't have many artillery, so that they think they have a chance to take the position again." ”

Li Ping nodded, and said in a solemn tone: "Our artillery is already small, if we want to turn on all the devil's cannons, it is estimated that they will not be able to shoot accurately, so we only have one chance, miss this opportunity, and the devil will react." ”

The chief of staff nodded, Li Ping's meaning was very clear, that is, to attract the devils at one time, and then let the artillery shoot, so that the devils suffered heavy casualties at one time, if the devils did not participate in the attack, when the devils understood the situation on their side, it would be difficult for their side to fight.

The two of them made a decision and immediately ordered the soldiers, and Itakami Seishiro came soon with the troops, looking at the embarrassed devil brigade and angry.

"Baga, yours is a waste, and you actually let Balu prepare for so long." , Itakami Seishiro came up and scolded, the longer the Eighth Road was prepared, the more difficult it would be for them to take the position again.

"Order the troops to attack, quickly take the position, and recapture our artillery."

The devil's troops quickly attacked, and Li Ping immediately ordered the artillery battalion to open fire, and the roaring explosion made Itakami Seishiro angry at first, followed by a smile.

"Hahaha, there is no way to use the cannon on the eighth road, and the cannon of a wing can only be used for one-third." , the devils laughed, nothing could make people happier than now.

"Yo Xi, order all troops to attack, and don't let the Eighth Route damage our artillery."

"Hi"

The swarming devils made Li Ping laugh and ordered loudly: "Hold on for ten minutes and attract the devils." ”

"Order the artillerymen, fire all the artillery that can be fired, and tell them that this is a good opportunity."

The fierce battle made the devil even more excited, the eight-way position was in front of him, and ten minutes passed quickly, and the devil had already killed a hundred meters in front of the position.

"Retreat to the second line of defense, our artillery is going to open fire."

As soon as Li Ping finished speaking, the overwhelming shells fell in the area of the devil, and Li Ping retreated to the second line of defense with his troops to prevent the devil from jumping over the wall.

Looking at the infantry wing shrouded in shells, Itakami Seishiro's body went limp, and the adjutant hurriedly supported him.

"Baga, we were fooled and ordered the troops to retreat."

Itakami Seishiro was angry, his eyes were blood-red, the explosion of the position was the devil's horn, and the sound of wailing came intermittently, Itakami Seishiro knew that as long as the cannon did not stop, these troops would not be able to retreat.

After twenty minutes of shelling, Li Ping signaled the artillery to stop and immediately ordered the soldiers to charge.

"Kill!"

"Kill the Devil"

“……”

The charging Eighth Route Army fired rapidly, and Itakami Seishiro in the distance was stunned, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Baga, let's retreat and go back to the county seat."

Itakami Seishiro knew that his general situation was gone, so he stayed here and waited to be the ghost of the sword of the Eighth Road, with a squadron of escort troops, and immediately escaped.

When the commander of the infantry wing saw the division commander withdrawing, he immediately blocked the Eighth Route with the remnants of his troops, and could not let the Eighth Route rush over.

The battle ended quickly, Li Ping glanced at the dead wing captain, and ordered loudly: "Clean up the battlefield, prepare to retreat, the whereabouts of the devil's cavalry wing are unknown, be careful of them sneaking up on us." ”

"Yes, Brigadier."

The devil's cavalry wing did not come, Li Ping breathed a sigh of relief, the political commissar who received the telegram brought the militia, and Li Ping withdrew to the base area with his troops.

Returning to the base area, the chief of staff picked up the statistical report and came to Li Ping's side: "Brigade commander, two-thirds of the casualties of the independent regiment, more than half of the casualties of the new regiment, there is only one company left in the cavalry battalion now, and the only complete one is the artillery battalion." ”

Li Ping's hands shook, he silently took a puff of cigarette, and said: "Send the battle process to the headquarters, and the wounded soldiers will arrange it immediately." ”

The chief of staff turned to leave, and the political commissar smiled with tears in his eyes, and said: "Brigade commander, our sacrifice is worth it, we have eliminated the devils of the two wings, and the base area has been saved." ”

Li Ping shook his head, these lost troops are all veterans, and if these two regiments want to restore their combat effectiveness, they will not be able to do it for half a year.

Thinking of this, Li Ping frowned, the devil is temporarily retreating, but will Itakami Seishiro let go of the opportunity to take revenge? Li Ping was sure that he wouldn't, and next time he came back, how would he resist.

A telegraph operator ran into the headquarters and handed over several telegrams: "Brigade commander, Regiment Commander Chen, their telegrams. ”

Li Ping took it over and saw that the three wings of the devil actually retreated and were about to return to Ping County, what are the devils preparing to do?

"Brigade Commander, what do you mean by Seishiro Itakami?"
