The defense behind the position of the artillery brigade collapsed, but the frontal position facing the three battalions of the 29th Army was very lively.

The position chosen by Kihara Shinichi is actually a relatively open place, to be precise, it is a valley, according to common sense, the best way to hold on is to defend the mountain, but 24 cannons are not so easy to move up the mountain, and Kihara Shinichi, who does not want to lose the honor of his artillery wing, can only defend this open land.

The positions of the three battalions of the 29th Army were completely arc-shaped, with one battalion deployed in the front and two battalions on the flanks, and the frontal position spread out was a full 800 meters, completely blocking the front of the two artillery brigades.

Not to mention that the Japanese artillery brigade is not strong enough at the moment and can only be based on defense, that is, their 2000 men and horses are all elite infantry, and it is not so easy to break through this line of defense.

The three battalions opened fire for three or four minutes, and all the troops defending this side of the Japanese army also entered the trenches, and when the Japanese army, which had been holding back for a long time, concentrated all the grenadiers and wanted to teach the Chinese firepower points on the opposite side who dared to open fire unscrupulously to teach them a hard lesson, but they were even more aggrieved to find that the crazy Chinese had regained their composure.

Moreover, it was too calm, and all the firepower stopped fighting, as if the bullets had run out.

However, at this moment, no one treats the Chinese as fools, and when the two armies face each other, you tell me that thousands of people ran out of bullets in a moment of excitement? Why are you stupid when I am the Imperial Army of Japan?

Since the Chinese are no longer fighting, then we will fight, and the resigned Japanese infantry will join the more than 500 artillery reinforcements who have come over to fire at the Chinese positions in a burst of fire under the light of flares.

Sure enough, the firepower points of the Chinese army, unwilling to be suppressed, began to speak again. However, this time it was not like the previous unscrupulous strafing, but after half a minute and a minute, the Japanese grenadiers had just found their position, and they fired two rounds and then stopped firing.

It's as if their existence is just to tell the other side, brother is still there, don't come here, the two of them are having fun.

"Baga, Chinese, big cunning." Captain Kozo Oda, the commander of the Japanese army, angrily threw his steel helmet to the ground.

The enemy had no intention of rushing up at all, but he firmly pinned down his 700 men here and couldn't move, which gave him an extremely bad premonition.

Could it be that they had the utmost confidence in the attacking forces behind the position? Are you sure they can storm the position? This is impossible, although Captain Honuese Hiroshi is very young, his talent Oda Kozo has always been more admired, the 1st Infantry Squadron is also the most elite infantry squadron in the entire 8th Artillery Wing, plus more than 500 artillery to help, the defense line built by him is not to mention impregnable, no matter how many enemy soldiers there are, it is no problem to resist until dawn.

The lack of heavy weapons in the Chinese can only rely on the number of soldiers to attack, this is the deepest impression of Oda Kozo on the Chinese army, and he still thinks so.

It's a pity that he didn't know that the Uese Hao, whom he had high hopes for, had no chance to lead his soldiers to organize any defense, and the Japanese army captain who had the courage to take responsibility was killed in seconds by the best Chinese individual soldiers of this era with only one face.

And the so-called elite 1st Infantry Squadron is not facing an ordinary Chinese army, but a Liu Lang Independent Regiment equipped with MG42 heavy machine guns with far more firepower than this era for half a year. In 10 minutes, a total of 18 "Hitler chainsaws" rained down 20,000 rounds of bullets, killing countless brave Japanese infantry who dared to shoot at the Independent Regiment on the land of northern China.

That's right, Tang Yongming received an order to use all means to contain the opponent, and the three battalions he led did not need to attack, but only waited for the independent regiment to break through the enemy position from behind, and finally worked together to completely annihilate the Japanese army opposite him.

Therefore, Tang Yongming raised the signal flare and ordered all his troops to open fire regardless of the cost, in order to attract more enemies to reduce the burden on the independent regiment. As a lieutenant colonel and regimental deputy who had fought several battles with the Japanese army, Tang Yongming was deeply aware of the tenacity of the Japanese army, and if he wanted to break through the defense line of several hundred Japanese soldiers, he needed not only courage, but also greater casualties.

However, he also understood that if Liu Lang's strategy was successful, as long as the two artillery brigades were solved, the 4th Brigade on the other side would become a turtle in an urn, and they would not be so difficult to deal with without artillery support.

It's just that in a hurry, all the battles must be in time before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.

Will Liu Lang, as well as his independent regiment, be able to break through the Japanese positions in a short period of time? Tang Yongming didn't have a bottom in his heart. But this does not hinder his respect for Liu Lang, any Chinese soldier who made such a plan to completely annihilate the Japanese army brigade and regiment is worthy of respect.

And, it seems, success is just around the corner.

The Japanese artillery brigade exploded like gunfire on this side, and the sound of artillery naturally alarmed the main position of the 4th Brigade a few miles away.

Mitsumi Suzuki, who had not slept all night, looked at the red sky that was illuminated by artillery fire several miles away, and her face was gray. Things finally turned out in the worst direction, and instead of attacking the main position of the 4th Brigade, the enemy took aim at two artillery groups. Chinese, is it really the idea of reuniting the 4th Brigade and annihilating it?

If it was 6 hours ago, if anyone dared to say this in front of Suzuki Mitsu, who had more than 7,000 elite imperial army cannons, he would definitely be laughed at by the whole army to death, even if all the 60,000 troops who blocked the advance of the imperial army at Xifeng Pass came, so what? If it weren't for their defensive advantage, in the field, the 4th Brigade alone would have been able to drive them like rabbits found by hounds.

However, now, this idea actually appeared in Suzuki Mitsu's mind, and it didn't feel ridiculous, on the contrary, Suzuki Mitsu thought of this, and there was a complete chill in his head, like standing naked in the cold night of northern China, cold and biting.

"Order Kihara Shinichi to report on the battle situation, and at the same time order the 7th Infantry Squadron to move in the direction of the artillery brigade and wait for an opportunity to attack the Chinese army." Stabilizing his mind, Mitsu Suzuki quickly ordered. "Also, order Shinichi Kihara to blow up the cannon now, immediately, immediately." As if thinking of something again, Mitsumi Suzuki quickly gave another order.

Gu Yi took the order and left.

Suzuki Mitsu could only look at the battlefield in the distance in a daze, sending an infantry squadron was already his limit, he didn't dare to send more troops, the 4th Brigade, which had lost most of its heavy equipment, if it lost its fortifications again, if the branch army was ambushed in that terrible darkness, the tragic consequences would definitely not be something he could bear.

Sure enough, Mitsu Suzuki's guess was correct.

The 7th Infantry Squadron had only been out of its position for less than two miles before it was ambushed by the Chinese troops, and in addition to the enemy's terrible machine guns, the infantry squadron, which had been on alert, stepped into a terrible minefield.

Mines that can explode tank turf have become a nightmare for the Japanese army, a mine exploded, taking away the lives of four or five people, and the Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground in a hurry were also attacked by grenades thrown from all directions, and in the dark night, you can't tell how many enemies are attacking you.

In the end, the heroic 7th Infantry Squadron managed to retreat back to less than 60 people.

In fact, what ambushed them was nothing more than a machine gun platoon led by Niu Er and an engineer platoon directly under the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment. Under the leadership of Niu Er, who was familiar with the terrain, the engineer platoon planted nearly ten large mines on the road that the Japanese army had to pass.

Their purpose was not to annihilate the Japanese reinforcements, but to scare them back and let them stay in the position honestly, and that's it.

If Mitsumi Suzuki had been a little more courageous and had sent a Japanese brigade, I am afraid that the stomach of the independent regiment would have been broken.

It's a pity that Mitsumi Suzuki, who was stunned during the day, doesn't have the guts.

He is now like a stupid kid who has been beaten up, and he just wants to cry and call his father to help him get revenge.
