In the evening, the two sides died down. The battlefield that had been cleaned up was once again a miserable and bloody scene. And the corpses of the national army are much more than the devils, which does not mean that they are not brave enough, but that the 101st Division is too strong and fierce, and they are Ito's last trump card after all.

The 958th Regiment lost half of its strength in today's battle. It is not bad for a regiment to be able to fight in the face of such a fierce attack by a wing, in the eyes of many people.

However, Shao Fei was very dissatisfied with this battle. This group of devils is completely suicidal, but Liang Zuoxun takes the lead in the process of charging. The devil is not blind, and it is strange to see that the commander of the other party does not play with you. Shao Fei almost died today because of this.

"We have to talk."

As soon as he entered the regimental headquarters, Shao Fei was straightforward. At this time, Liang Zuoxun was discussing tomorrow's battle with several other staff officers and battalion commanders.

Liang Zuoxun and several officers stopped discussing and said to Shao Fei: "I know what you have to say. You have also seen how fierce the devil is, if I had not taken the lead in suppressing the other party with morale at that time, then the right wing of our regiment would have been unable to be saved. ”

"There are many ways to boost morale, and you don't have to take risks. If you die in battle, what will happen to the 958th regiment, the center and the left flank will be broken through. Although the opposing commander is called a 'fierce general', after today's battle, he is a very good person, and his soldiers are not afraid of death, dare to die. ”

"Okay, you don't need to persuade me, that's how I fight."

Although the equipment of its own troops is comparable to that of the Japanese army, the equipment does not represent the combat power. As long as it can improve the combat power of the troops, Liang Zuoxun will use all means.

At this time, the chief of staff of the first lieutenant colonel beside Liang Zuoxun stepped forward and said: "This is how we fight, the officers must rush in front of the soldiers. ”

"Hehe" Shao Fei cooled down and said, "Are you learning from Guijun?" Such a unit is very combative, but it is also fragile, like smoke, just a momentary brilliance. I will never agree with such a method of warfare. To put it mildly, a soldier must die in front of an officer. ”

The lieutenant colonel asked, "Then what do you think?" I've heard that the Falcon is powerful not only because of their own combat prowess, but also because of your cunning. ”

Another lieutenant colonel battalion commander interjected: "I also heard that during the Battle of Xuzhou, even Commander Feng Anbang of the Northwest Army listened to your 'command', and finally inflicted heavy losses on the Sakamoto detachment. This time, I won't be afraid to give us advice. ”

Shao Fei expressed disgust at this kind of remark and explained: "Who did you listen to? General Feng Anbang is the most courageous general I have ever seen, how dare I command him, I just came up with a few ideas. ”

After Shao Fei finished speaking, the command suddenly fell silent, and those officers seemed to be waiting for Shao Fei to plan for them.

Shao Fei thought for a moment and said, "To deal with devils, you only need to do two things: anti-artillery and anti-ground attacks." It can be achieved by building fortifications against artillery, mainly to defend against ground forces. Today's fighting devils are completely suicidal, and it's best not to engage them in close combat. So, we have to slow down their attack and play to the advantage of our firepower. ”

"yes~"

At this time, Liang Zuoxun sighed: "The enemy was completely desperate to charge, and he quickly rushed up. There was no way, we had to fight with them with bayonets. ”

Shao Fei said: "Isn't there a lot of trees and gravel that have been blown up by shells on the mountain, cut the trees into cylinders and put them at the front of the position, and the interval should not exceed one meter, otherwise the enemy will use the trees as rock masses." Then put some sharp gravel in the middle, not too dense. First, it can prevent the enemy from moving the log as a rock mass; Second, make it uncomfortable for the enemy to step on. ”

"What a way!?"

Liang Zuoxun exclaimed: "As long as we can slow down the attack of the devils, our firepower advantage can be fully brought into play." ”

According to Shao Fei's method, the officers and men of the whole regiment moved overnight, filled the front of the position with logs, and then scattered sharp gravel.

Early the next morning, Iizuka organized another round of even more frantic attacks. This time, he strengthened the artillery fire of the infantry and artillery coordination, and also transferred reinforcements to attack the Liang regiment

This time, this group of crazy devils suffered and struggled at the front of the position.

"Hit!"

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

The defenders of the position were under fire, and bullets rained down on them.

The vanguard of the devils fell to the ground like a straw. The other devils quickly lay on the ground, using logs as rock masses. However, they were unable to shoot effectively, their feet were completely exposed to the logs behind them, and their bodies were crushed by sharp gravel.

In the morning attack, the 101st Wing did not make any progress, but suffered numerous casualties.

"Yaga ~ the cunning Shina man."

Iizuka was a little annoyed, but he still put on a general's air on the camera.

At this time, the reporter on the side, Su Teng, asked: "Your Excellency, do you have any clever plans?" ”

Suten had great expectations. If Iizuka can succeed in winning the front position, he can make a big fuss and add a strong touch to his work.

"Hehe" Iizuka smiled heartily at the camera and said, "He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder." In the afternoon, I will take the forward position! ”

Iizuka is not a man who likes to boast about Haikou, and he is confident in the afternoon battle.

After yesterday's battle, Liang Zuoxun's 958th Regiment was at the end of the crossbow, with less than 1,000 troops. And this team of less than 1,000 people has to disperse three positions, and as long as they attack a little, the positions can be broken.

Not long after lunch, the 101st Wing launched an artillery bombardment of the center. The shelling covered not only the positions, but also the logs at the front of the positions.

Immediately, Iizuka selected veterans with strong backgrounds, rich experience, and excellent skills to form a crack commando team and launched a charge on the middle lane.

These experienced veterans charged to a hundred places and scattered to hide in the craters left by the previous shelling, and quickly launched a counterattack, suppressing the defenders of the position with firepower.

Two grenadier groups also took refuge behind craters or relatively large logs and shelled heavy machine-gun fire points on their positions.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~" "......"

Immediately, the Japanese army fired smoke bombs at the defenders' positions, and the entire position was shrouded in white smoke, completely blocking the view of the officers and men of the positions.

Immediately afterwards, the 101st Wing quickly launched a tsunami-like offensive.

"Ahem~Ahem~Call Me~"

"Dadada" "......"

There was a white fog ahead, and it was impossible to identify the target, and the defenders on the position could only shoot indiscriminately in front of them.

The enemy's vanguard quickly reached its position under the cover of smoke and artillery shells, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders, while the follow-up troops continued to arrive from afar.

Liang Zuoxun and Shao Fei immediately rushed to increase with their two wings, wanting to recapture their positions.

During the battle, Regiment Commander Liang Zuoxun once again took the lead. But this time he didn't have such good luck, a "bang" shot, I don't know where the bullet came from, it hit Liang Zuoxun directly in the chest, and then fell to the ground.

"Captain Liang!"

Shao Fei yelled when he saw it, and quickly rushed over to help him up.

"Bring the troops, withdraw."

Liang Zuoxun gave the last order. There were more and more Japanese troops in the gap, and the defenders were defeated, and they could only be annihilated if they continued to fight.

"Retreat all!"

Shao Fei picked up Liang Zuoxun and quickly went to the main peak of Dongguling, and the remaining hundreds of remnants of the 958 Regiment finally couldn't resist the suicidal attack of the 101st Wing of Iizuka, and the position was lost. And Liang Zuoxun died heroically in the process of being sent.

It took only one and a half days for the 101st Division to break through the first line of defense of the 160th Division and severely damage the 958th Regiment of the 160th Division, which was a big victory for Iizuka. Facing the camera lens, he triumphantly raised his sword and assumed a "victorious" pose.
