"Thanks to your old Hu Xiu's fortifications this time, otherwise I, a thousand or more people, would really not be able to stop such a fierce attack by the little devils." The first time Ma Wanzhong encountered such a deadly style of fighting, the little devil's shelling had not ended, the infantry began to charge, and before the little devil retreated, a new round of shelling began, fortunately, the fortifications were strong, otherwise a round of artillery fire from the little devil would have turned him, the regiment commander, into a battalion commander.

"It's not okay for the old horse to fight passively like this, no matter how strong the fortifications are, they can't withstand such wanton bombardment by the little devils, we have to find a way to get rid of the little devils' artillery positions first." Hu Guoshan said.

"This is not that simple, the little devil's artillery position will definitely be heavily guarded, and our sneak attack on the little devil's artillery position so openly is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg."

"Otherwise, I'll draw out a company of troops and let them see if there's a chance." Hu Guoshan still did not give up.

"You better don't pay attention to the little devil artillery, Brother Fan must have thought of a way." Ma Wanzhong felt that it was better to act steadily, if stealing chickens would not make it easier for the soldiers of this company to go out, but it would be difficult to come back.

"I don't know what Brother Fan thinks, how can he be so calm." Lao Hu was born with a short temper.

"Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?" Liao Fan suddenly came out from behind the two people.

"Brother Fan, why did you come to the front line?" Lao Hu heard Liao Fan's voice and hurriedly stood up and saluted Liao Fan.

"How many times have you said that the subordinates in the forward position are not allowed to salute their superiors, do you think that the little devil's marksmanship is not good?" Liao Fan said.

"Isn't this in the bunker, the little devil doesn't have the ability to anticipate the enemy first." Ma Wanzhong said.

"Old horse, have you learned to tease me too?"

"Brother Fan, aren't you worried that you're in danger? The little devil's cannonballs can hit at any time. Ma Wanzhong changed the topic and said.

"You and the brethren have been here all morning, and I can't come here." Liao Fan said.

"Brother Fan, you are our commander, so you should stay in the position of command." Ma Wanzhong said.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, I'm here to see how your first line of defense is, can you hold it?" Liao Fan asked.

"Of course!" The two said in unison.

"Brother Fan, can you let the artillery battalion support us, we let the little devil's cannon be bullied this morning." Hu Guoshan began to beg Liao Fan with an aggrieved look to give him some firepower support.

"If you don't have a single shell, tell me about the situation of your regiment this morning, don't hide it for me." Liao Fan glanced at Hu Guoshan and expressed his idea not to fight the artillery battalion.

"Fortunately, our regiment suffered few casualties, but the machine gun bunker was blown up by the little devils, and although they were repaired by the fighters, they were all restored, but they could no longer withstand the toss of the little devil mortars." Lao Hu didn't give support without a face, why did he look at me with such eyes.

"Old Ma, how is the situation in your regiment?"

"Brother Fan, you have also seen it, we are in a similar situation with the third regiment, but one of the heavy machine guns was directly hit by the shells of the little devils, and I mobilized two heavy machine guns to the strongest battalion to strengthen the frontal firepower."

"The arrangement is good, if the heavy machine gun is not enough, first transfer it from the third line of defense, both of you can move the heavy machine guns on the third line of defense at will, but the light machine guns cannot be transferred at will." In fact, the third line of defense adds up to five heavy machine guns, and these machine guns were all brought back by Huang Changsheng and the others from the little devil's turret.

"Brother Fan, we know."

"And you must take care of the emotions of the soldiers, the recruits must have experienced such a big battle for the first time on the battlefield, there must be a lot of psychological pressure, the wounded must be sent to John immediately, even if they are lightly wounded, they cannot be allowed to stay in the position without permission, unless John agrees to return to the position." Liao Fan was worried that the wounded staying in the position for a long time would affect the morale of the soldiers.

"Brother Fan, what we are most worried about is the howitzer of the little devil, although the accuracy of the howitzer is almost good, but there is a direct hit on our heavy machine gun bunker, which is enough to greatly reduce the firepower on our position." Hu Guoshan said.

"I've already figured out a way to do this, you hold on for another afternoon, and I'll let the artillery battalion kill the little devil's artillery position in the evening."

"Brother Fan, you're not going to sneak out again, are you?" Hu Guoshan and Ma Wanzhong immediately became vigilant.

"If I don't go out, who has the ability to blow up the artillery positions of the little devils? You old Hu or your old horse, besides, the agreement we signed is not allowed for me to act alone, and I will go out with an artillery battalion this time. Liao Fan knew that a few people were worried about his comfort, but he had to go out and destroy the little devil's artillery position, otherwise his first line of defense would really not last long.

"Brother Fan, your artillery battalion is not as large as our ordinary combat company!" What Ma Wanzhong said was the truth, when the artillery battalion was formed, there were already few people, and now an artillery company has been transferred to the guard battalion, and the remaining people add up to less than 200 people.

"The combat capability of the Fan Ge artillery battalion is not as good as that of the combat company, if they are in close contact with the little devils, they have no ability to fight back at all, let alone protect the safety of Fan Ge." Hu Guoshan agreed with Ma Wanzhong's statement.

"According to you, let the little devil's shells fall on our positions with impunity?" Liao Fan looked at the two of them.

Hu Guoshan glanced at Ma Wanzhong and wanted him to think of a way, but Ma Wanzhong said angrily: "It's not impossible to go." ”

"What do you say, old horse?" Hu Guoshan was anxious, and wanted Ma Wanzhong to persuade Liao Fan not to go, but he didn't expect Ma Wanzhong to give him such a sentence.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Liao Fan directly ignored Hu Guoshan.

"Take a company of soldiers and let them keep you safe."

"That's fine, I can draw one company from the two companies on the third line of defense." Liao Fan didn't expect Ma Wanzhong to put forward such a simple opinion, "Is there anything else?" ”

"No, but Brother Fan, you must talk to the two of us before you act at night." Ma Wanzhong continued.

"Okay, of course that's fine, I'll let you know before the night action." Liao Fan originally planned to descend through the cliff on the south side, and unconsciously approached the little devil's position, and the cliff was defended by a group of soldiers. "After I leave, everything will be discussed by the three heads of your regiment, and Liu Chundao can't cut off the contact."

"Don't worry, Brother Fan, we'll wait for you to come back." Ma Wanzhong did not stop Liao Fan like Lao Hu this time.

After Liao Fan left the forward position, Hu Guoshan shouted at Ma Wanzhong: "Old horse, old horse, I asked you to persuade Brother Fan not to go as much as possible, you are good, and let Brother Fan go." Hu Guoshan walked around in front of Ma Wanzhong one by one.

Ma Wanzhong sat on the ground honestly, and said unhurriedly: "Old Hu, it's not that you don't understand Brother Fan's temper, do you think that our agreement and the persuasion of you and me can stop Brother Fan?" Since we can't stop it, we might as well persuade him to bring more troops, at least if there is an emergency, it can be used a little. ”
