Surrounded by a group of officials, the commander of the 145th Wing of the Devils, Ichikawa Yozo Osa, low to the front line, holding a telescope to observe the Changling position.

Their 145th Wing was ordered to take over the 113th Wing, which had suffered heavy losses, to counterattack the Changling position, while the brigade commander, Major General Aoki Kei, personally led the main force of the 136th Brigade to attack Zhanggushan at the northern end of Changling.

Everything can be seen clearly in the telescope, the two sides have repeatedly fought on the front line of Changling for several days, and the grass and trees on the top of Changling Mountain have been completely burned by artillery fire and blown into a scorched earth.

On the dark red hillside, corpses that had not had time to be disposed of were piled up on top of each other, and the mountain wind carried a stench of decay wafting over, which was disgusting.

The surviving officers and soldiers of the 58th Division, which had suffered heavy losses in the Chinese army, have withdrawn, and now the troops of Yang Ling of the 51st Division are under the banner of the fluttering blue sky and white sun.

Yang Ling They have been repaired, and the fortifications and trenches destroyed by artillery fire have been re-excavated and restored, and in the criss-crossing fortifications, the officers are shouting nervously, and countless ammunition has been sent to the front line, which is a tense atmosphere before the war.

"The strength of this army cannot be underestimated, their firepower points are properly arranged, and the layers are clear, you must not be careless."

Wing Captain Ichikawa Yozo observed for a while, and then instructed the officials on the left and right.

Ichikawa Yozo was originally arrogant, and he never took the Chinese army seriously, and went on a rampage in battle, defeating at least four or five division-level Chinese troops.

Now he suddenly said such a thing, which made all the officials look sideways, his own wing captain is like this, and he has become so timid?

"Wing Commander, according to intelligence, what is deployed on the Long Ridge is only a regimental-level unit of the Zhina Army, and with our strength, it is enough to crush them!" One of the captains said dismissively.

The rest of the officials around them also nodded, although they were trapped now, in fact, they really didn't have any worries in their hearts.

Because they got the news that the 27th Division, the 9th Division, and the 101st Division are moving closer together, and judging from past experience, maybe they can fight a counter-encirclement.

Seeing his subordinates so lightly attacked, Wing Captain Ichikawa Yozo's brows furrowed, he was not as optimistic as them.

As the captain of the wing, he naturally got more gossip, although there were reinforcements moving closer to them with all their might, but in the face of the resistance of the Chinese blocking forces, the progress was not smooth.

The reason why he didn't tell his subordinates such bad news was that he didn't want to affect the morale of the troops and stabilize the morale of the troops.

"You must know the situation of the 113th Wing, more than half of the two days were lost, if you don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, please don't underestimate the enemy, although our opposite side is a regimental army, but they are the elite Central Army of the Zhina Army." Wing Captain Yozo Ichikawa reminded his subordinates in a deep voice.

"Hey!" When the officers saw the co-captain say this, they all looked stunned and put away their contempt.

Although they disdained the miscellaneous armies in the Chinese army sequence, the Guangdong Army and the Central Army did not dare to take it lightly.

Seeing that the smiling smiles on the faces of the officials and becoming more serious, the co-captain Ichikawa Yozo sighed slightly in his heart, hoping that they could really pay attention to it, he didn't want to sink into the sand here.

In fact, it is impossible to observe the enemy's situation from the front, and the Changling area has already been broken, and if you want to take it, you have to launch a real attack.

Soon Wing Commander Ichikawa Yozo gave an order: "The first brigade will attack head-on, the second brigade will divide its troops into two flanks to feint and attract firepower, and the third brigade will stand by in place."

"Hey!" The officials received the order, and the murderous aura began to appear on their faces.

When Ichikawa Yozo, the captain of the 145th Wing of the devils, took a group of officials to observe Yang Ling's position, Yang Ling was also lying on the edge of the trench, holding a telescope to observe the devils.

When the devils arrived at the front of their position, they stopped about a mile away, dug foxholes, arranged fire points, and assembled mountain artillery on the spot, preparing for the attack.

Seeing that the little devil was preparing for the attack in an orderly manner, Yang Ling also had a general judgment of the devil's strength.

Yang Ling and the others now belong to the main regiment, and they are much stronger than ordinary regiments in terms of firepower and numbers, but in the face of a well-equipped devil wing, it is still a little difficult to deal with.

"Do you have any orders from the division?" Yang Ling put away the binoculars and turned his head to ask.

Zhang Qingyun, chief of staff of the regiment, replied: "The division has ordered to hold the position to the death, and not to retreat a single step."

Although Yang Ling knew this result earlier, he still felt the heavy pressure, and it was a matter of one sentence to defend the position, but if he really wanted to do it, he was afraid that it would be a gamble on the lives of hundreds of brothers.

Yang Ling frowned: "Did you report to the division that we are facing a wing?"

Zhang Qingyun cried and said: "It's reported, the division said that let the brigade seat take the 302nd regiment to deploy on the left flank, and if it can't hold on, it will give us support, and the artillery battalion in the brigade will also give us support when necessary."

When Liu Yidao heard this, he immediately muttered dissatisfiedly: "Support a fart, wait for those guys in the artillery battalion to pull out the cannons, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold."

This is not that Liu Yidao is making a fuss, but that the artillery of the army is small, and the air supremacy is in the hands of devils, and the artillery battalion does not dare to come out during the day, and only at night does it dare to pull out the artillery to fire a few rounds, which makes the infantry brothers complain.

Yang Ling also knew the actual situation, and instructed a staff officer: "You personally go to Battalion Commander Sun of the artillery battalion, and say that we are now grasshoppers on a rope, and we will be both prosperous and lossy, if the position is lost and the devils break in, his artillery battalion will have to be unlucky even if it hides in the woods, so that he is ready to support us."

"Yes!"

Yang Ling believes that Sun Heiniu, the commander of the artillery battalion, will not fail to understand this truth, even if he wants to preserve his strength, it depends on when, now it is strange that just one of their infantry regiments can block a wing of devils.

Seeing that the staff officer left in a hurry to find the artillery battalion, Yang Ling turned around and saw several battalion commanders and said, "Who is guarding the first round?"

Lu Xing and several of their battalion commanders glanced at each other, but they didn't speak, everyone knew that this battle was difficult to fight.

"What? Scared? Yang Ling asked teasingly.

"I'm afraid of a grandma, our three battalions will play the first round, people will die and birds will not die for thousands of years, it's a big deal to leave this life here today." Liu Yidao, the commander of the third battalion, couldn't help but open his mouth immediately.

Seeing that Liu Yidao was so agitated by Yang Ling, the face of the deputy battalion commander Qin Shou immediately turned green, damn it, you want to die, I want to live.

"Okay, old rule, hold on for an hour and I'll let the second battalion come up and replace you."

The artillery fire of the devil soldiers was powerful, and Yang Ling didn't want to put all the troops on the position and let the little devils blow up, but used small soldier group tactics to deal with the devil's attack.

This would allow the troops to rotate to maintain physical strength and avoid casualties caused by covering bombing.

"Don't worry, since my old Liu should come down, I promise to carry it!" Liu Yidao simply let it go and patted his chest.

Yang Ling nodded and instructed: "Pay attention to the anti-artillery, but also guard against the poisonous gas of some devils, the little devils can do anything."
