"Your Excellency Dazuo, why don't you attack yet?"

"Waiting."

A wing of the Potian detachment came to the front of Longtan Mountain. They launched only sustained artillery bombardment and showed no signs of launching a ground attack.

The Hukou Highway was completely destroyed by the Sichuan army, and the devil's cars and armored vehicles could not pass through, and now they could only use infantry to capture Longtan Mountain, and as for the obstacles and mine-sweeping work, they could only wait for the end of the battle to be handed over to the sappers to deal with.

"Boom Boom" "......"

The devil artillery shelled the forward positions of Longtan Mountain in rounds, but not very violently. The soldiers of the Sichuan army hid in the trenches, but there were still some casualties.

At the headquarters of the 76th Brigade in the rear, Zhu Zaitang was a little depressed and said, "What are you doing here?" There was only artillery bombardment, and the infantry did not move at all. ”

Chen Haotian pointed to the map and explained to Zhu Zaitang: "They are waiting. A wing of the 106th Division in the middle of Hukou was repulsed by the 16th and 77th Divisions, and was now rushing towards it. Since he can't occupy the three commanding heights, he can only come back to help defend the Potian detachment. Let's not forget that there are our 11 divisions in the east and 16, 60, and 77 divisions in the south, and the Hata detachment does not dare to attack rashly now. ”

Shao Fei didn't say a word on the side. In his mind, after several simulated rehearsals, the result was that Longtan Mountain could not be defended.

Luo Zhuoying's plan is good, but there are two loopholes: first, it occupies Yangjiashan and Tangshan to cut off the rear road of the Japanese army, but the river cannot be blocked, and the Japanese navy does not cover it; Second, can the poorly equipped 26th Division block the two wings of the Japanese army, as well as the three-dimensional attack of the land, sea and air? Longtan Mountain is completely within the fire of the Japanese Navy.

Chen Haotian pushed Shao Fei down and asked, "What do you want?" So fascinating. ”

Shao Fei replied: "They are waiting, waiting for reinforcements from the north, warships from the north, and planes from the north. They won't launch a ground attack until what they're waiting for arrives. I suggest that the troops on the first line of defense be withdrawn and not sacrificed fearlessly. ”

"That's not going to work." Zhu Zaitang rejected Shao Fei's suggestion.

Shao Fei asked, "Why?" ”

Zhu Zaitang explained: "It's too risky. What if we guess wrong? We can't afford to take that risk. Or I'll ask the division. ”

The commander is the soul of the troops, influencing the character of the troops, as well as the subordinate officers.

"No need, Senior Commander Liu must object."

Chen Haotian said that he knew Liu Yuqing and would not let such an important position take risks, Chen Haotian asked Shao Fei: "Tell me your reasons." ”

Shao Fei pointed to the map and said: "The 106th Division has withdrawn, and our more than 4,000 people have to face the attack of two wings, so we must save our troops, fight a protracted battle, and buy time for the transfer of other divisions." Don't expect reinforcements to reinforce Longtan Mountain in time, we can only rely on ourselves. The Japanese army is not blind, and will definitely send troops to block it. ”

Chen Haotian asked again, "Are you sure the enemy won't attack now?" ”

"No, it won't. But after the withdrawal, it is difficult to say that the position is empty. It's a big deal to fight white-knuckle, at least we can avoid the shortcomings of our lack of firepower, and we can safely collect their equipment. ”

Shao Fei said, looking at Chen Haotian. In fact, Chen Haotian's resourcefulness is not under him, and he asks knowingly, completely using his own mouth to persuade Zhu Zaitang.

And Chen Haotian looked at Zhu Zaitang and said: "Understand, you can't be so rigid in war." ”

Zhu Zaitang gritted his teeth and said, "Since both of you have said so, I will also let go and withdraw!" ”

On the forward positions, the sound of artillery was still rumbling, and the artillery fire eroded every inch of land on the position.

"Evacuate all positions and go to the second line of defense!"

Officers at all levels on the position withdrew from the forward positions in an orderly manner with their troops. Shao Fei and Chen Haotian went to the second line of defense to command on the spot, while Zhu Zaitang sat in the command headquarters.

Psychology once mentioned about the leadership of two people, the weak side will naturally obey the strong party, which is an involuntary potential obedience, and it has nothing to do with the position. Like, the unassertive will listen to the assertive; The weak will obey the strong; Naturally the side with a weak aura will surrender to the side with a strong aura.

"The falcon is coming."

"Really?"

"They're falcons, huh?"

“……”

The soldiers of the second line of defense did not begin to talk to each other, looking directly at Shao Fei's group. Shao Fei and Chen Haotian led the special combat team to intersperse the positions behind them and went to the trenches at the forefront.

Qiang Zhaofu, commander of the 76th Regiment of the 155th Brigade, was in the trenches observing the movement of the forward position.

The guard beside him reminded: "Regiment commander, someone is coming." ”

The head of the regiment, Qiang Zhaofu, turned around. They had met when Shao Fei first came to the position before, and Qiang Zhaofu said, "Why are you here?" You should be in the rear command. ”

"It was I who advised the troops to withdraw from their positions, and I can't afford to lose them in case they are lost." Shao Fei smiled, and then asked, "How is the situation now?" ”

Qiang Zhaofu replied: "The devil's shelling has stopped, as if the devil found that there is no one in the position." I left a squad in the position, observing the enemy's movements. ”

Chen Haotian looked at the position two hundred meters in front of him with a telescope, it was really silent, so he said: "Prepare for battle, let the mortar set the distance at 240 yards and aim at the position." ”

"Yes!" Qiang Zhaofu asked the guards to relay the order, and three battalions charged.

Shao Fei asked: "Clever plan, you, how do you know that the devil will take advantage of the void." ”

Chen Haotian smiled: "Isn't this result what you want?" Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese follow-up troops and warships did not arrive, lure them to attack the position. If we wait for the follow-up troops and warships to arrive, this battle will not be easy to fight. ”

Shao Fei shook his head and said, "I really shouldn't make you a friend, my scheming is too heavy." ”

Chen Haotian said: "Each other." ”

At this time, a signal came from the forward positions that the Japanese army had really begun to attack. But the commander of the other side still had some scruples and only sent more than a hundred people. As long as these more than 100 people stand on their feet, the follow-up is not the right to follow up.

The commander of the third battalion saw the signal and ordered loudly: "Prepare for battle!" ”

The soldiers of the third battalion loaded their bayonets one after another, and the soldiers of the squad that remained in the first line of defense began to run towards this position.

It didn't take long for more than a hundred devils to rush to the position, but Shao Fei would definitely not let them have a chance to gain a foothold.

"Put!"

"Spray Spray" "......"

All the mortars of the regiment were concentrated together, and at the same time the artillery bombardment was launched at the positions of the first line of defense.

"Rush!"

"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

The artillery bombardment was also an order to charge, and the commander of the 3rd Battalion led the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion to charge the forward position. Zhu Zi rushed out of the trench with the special combat team and fought side by side with these Sichuan soldiers.

"Boom Boom" "......"

The devils who rushed into the position did not stand firm on their feet, and were directly shelled. There was a chaotic situation in the team for a while, and there were also some casualties. The living devils all subconsciously lay down in the trenches to avoid the artillery fire.

"Fight back!" "Fight back!" “……”

The devil commander has already issued three battalions, shouting in a panic. The devil soldiers braved artillery fire to move around the position, looking for a position to counterattack.

It didn't take long for the 155 regiment to stop shelling. Before the devils could make an effective counterattack, the third battalion had already rushed into the position filled with gunsmoke.

"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

Suddenly, the sound of killing in the position shook the sky, and the third battalion used the superior strength to fight straight up.

"Boom!" "Boom!" “……”

Even in white-knuckle combat, there was still an explosion.

When the soldiers of the Sichuan army just rushed into the position, the soldiers behind threw grenades directly at the dense place of devils in the distance, which was the use of the "flying thunder tactic" invented by Zhang Chong of the Yunnan army.

The devils in front of them were blown up and disorganized, and the Sichuan soldiers who were charging forward rushed forward to give them a head-on blow. In this way, it is difficult for the devils to show the stabbing skills they are proud of.

Whether in terms of momentum, tactics, or troops, the Sichuan army occupied an absolute advantage, and the quality of these Taiwanese soldiers was inferior to that of the real local devils, and the battle soon became one-sided. With the assistance of the special combat team, the devils were defeated. About thirty devils jumped out of the trenches, ready to flee back.

"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”

Gunfire rang out from the position, and the special operators sniped at the fleeing devils. More than 30 people died in disgrace on the way to escape.

The battle was soon over, and the 76 Brigade won a small victory. However, sooner or later, reinforcements and warships will arrive, and they will face an unimaginable bloody battle.
