The artillery of the Chinese defenders is not only small in number, but also in terms of quality compared with the Japanese army's heavy artillery and naval guns, which can only be concealed during the day and sporadically counterattacked at night.
The night was dark, and the cold wind mixed with the smoke and smell of blood swept across the battlefield, and although the sky had darkened, the Japanese troops from many directions were still attacking and advancing, and the guns and artillery were fierce.
Thundered!
The artillery units of the Chinese defenders, who had completed the artillery preparations, launched an attack on time at 19 o'clock at night, and the overwhelming artillery fire swept across the night sky in a graceful arc and flew towards the positions seized by the devils.
The earth trembled violently, the cannon rumbled, earth-shattering, stirring in the entire space, everyone felt the buzzing in their ears, and the devil's position in the darkness suddenly fell into a sea of flames.
There are surviving veterans who shouted excitedly, smashed their fists into the dirt, saw the overwhelming artillery attack, and their faces turned red because of excitement, they have been bombarded indiscriminately by devils, and this time they can finally raise their eyebrows and exhale again.
The artillery of the Chinese defenders was hidden everywhere during the day, because the scattered fire was weak and almost useless, and now the group fire, the scene was vast and magnificent, and many surviving soldiers shed tears of excitement.
The artillery fire was continuous, the flames were soaring, and the ballistic trajectory of the light illuminated the night sky, suppressing the fierce gunfire, and the smoke of gunfire filled the air, and many recruits choked and coughed, and there was a clamor in the night.
The artillery fire continued for about an hour, and at 20 o'clock in the evening, the Chinese infantry in charge of the counterattack began to charge.
The trumpeters were the first to leap out of the trenches, facing the smoke in the distance, puffing out their chests and raising their horns to sound the horn of attack.
The loud sound of the horn pierced through the smoke of gunpowder, through the darkness, through the mountains and rivers, and drifted into the endless distance.
"Brothers! Kill the Japanese ghosts! The commander of the Gui Legion held a short gun in his hand and raised his arms and shouted.
"Rush!" Countless dense Chinese soldiers hidden in the trenches roared, jumped out of the trenches, and launched a charge towards their respective targets.
There were shouts everywhere, and for the first time on a battlefield within a thirty-mile radius, the Chinese army launched a large-scale counterattack.
All the soldiers of the Gui army had bayonets on their muzzles, and they scrambled out of the trenches one by one, resolute and brave, and rushed straight to the devil's defense.
The various assault regiments and assault battalions responsible for coordinating operations with the Gui army also launched a charge at the same time as the Gui army charged, and the crowds of people in the darkness rushed towards the devils like waves.
Yang Ling also rushed out with the soldiers of the assault group, and the old Wang Tou with the saber in his hand and Wu Jiang with the bayonet followed closely behind him, crossing the large open cotton field and rushing towards the dark and dilapidated building complex.
In the darkness, the figures were longing, and everyone rushed forward with all their strength, heavy gasps, dense footsteps, and the muffled grunt of someone tripping.
There was a brigade of more than 1,000 people in Dingjiaqiao, and they were stunned in the face of the surprise attack of the Chinese defenders.
The flares rose into the sky, reflecting the black-pressed crowd of chargers, and the devil's observation post suddenly turned white.
There was no need for the screams of the devil officers, and the ghost soldiers who reacted immediately rushed to the trench and pulled the trigger towards the crowd.
Dada-
The Gui soldiers who were at the forefront of the charge swayed violently, and transparent holes appeared, scarlet blood spurted out, and then fell to the ground.
The Gui soldiers behind roared over the corpses that fell to the ground, and continued to charge, bullets chirping in their ears, countless people were shot and fell to the ground, but the Gui soldiers were like waves in the sea, moving forward one after another.
The devil's light and heavy machine guns were mixed with dense rifle shooting, their grenadiers, mortars were roaring, grenades kept falling into the charging crowd, and many soldiers were blown to the ground and let out heart-rending screams, but the charge continued.
The devil's machine gun is like the scythe of death, dancing wildly in the night, harvesting countless fresh lives, and the whistling bullets hit the young soldiers one by one, turning them into corpses on the way to the charge.
Faced with the continuous tongue of fire of the devil's machine gun, countless soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and the fire net formed by the devil's various firepower cross-fire blocked the way of the charging troops, and they were suppressed in the open cotton field.
Looking at the robes that were seriously injured and screaming miserably on the ground, the soldiers of the Gui Army, who were so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, gritted their teeth one by one, cursed, roared angrily, and began to pull the bolt of their guns to return fire.
"Grenades, go up and blow up the Japanese ghost's machine gun!"
Several Gui soldiers jumped out of the crowd with grenades in their hands and pounced on the devil's machine gunners.
"Machine gun cover!" The commander of the Gui military battalion roared.
Da-da
"Go up again!" Seeing that the bombardier who pounced on him was thrown to the ground, the commander of the Gui military battalion was full of grief and indignation, roared loudly, and someone rushed out with a grenade.
Thundered! The devil's machine gun was finally blown over by a grenade and was dumbfired, and in order to blow up the devil's machine gun, countless Gui soldiers paid with their precious lives.
The charge continued, and in the face of the fierce charge of the Gui soldiers, the ghost soldiers on the periphery couldn't stop it at all, and they swept down a group of people, but more people rushed up with red eyes.
Yang Ling was also charging, the Gui soldiers in front of him were dead, empty, countless points of light in the darkness were hitting him, he rolled forward, and fell into the trench with a pop, only then did he realize that he had rushed into the devil's defense.
A devil who was lying in the trench and shooting found Yang Ling who had rolled into the trench, grinning and holding the butt of the gun and smashing it down, smashing it firmly on Yang Ling's back, and Yang Ling's tears were about to flow out.
Yang Ling endured the severe pain and grabbed the devil's feet, and pulled hard, the devil's center of gravity was unstable, and he fell into the mud puddle with a pop, Yang Ling grabbed the bayonet in his hand and stabbed it down.
Poof! The bayonet easily pierced the chest of the devil soldier, the devil struggled, Yang Ling twisted his hands hard, the devil's screams stopped abruptly, he pulled out the bayonet, and a large stream of warm liquid sprayed onto Yang Ling's face.
Countless Gui soldiers rushed into the defense line of the devils, and the two sides began a white-knuckle battle, but this time the Chinese army had the advantage in numbers, and the devils suffered a loss in the white-knuckle battle, and they were gradually retreating to the Dingjia Bridge, preparing to resist by relying on the building.
