As soon as the screeching of shells across the sky rang out, a mass of light and heavy machine guns and rifles opened fire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The devil who charged at the front didn't have time to react before he was swept to the ground by bullets in pieces, and he was killed.

The worst thing was not the infantry, the twelve shells that whizzed over everyone's heads, as if they had eyes, all smashed into the devil's artillery position, and five mortars were covered by artillery fire on the spot, and they were blown into parts along with the surrounding gunners.

The other devil gunners who were just about to open fire, seeing that the situation was not right, immediately carried the mortars and moved.

The devil's heavy machine-gun positions, which provided fire cover for the infantry, were not much better.

Many of the heavy machine guns did not fire even a single bullet, and violent explosions rang out around them. The heavy machine gun, along with the surrounding machine gunners, was blown to the ground by the shell.

Because the rate of mortar fire was too fast, when the still alive devil machine gunners subconsciously raised their guns and prepared to transfer, three mortar companies had already fired sixty or seventy shells at them.

In the end, only one of the nine heavy machine guns of a heavy machine gun squadron was taken out of artillery fire.

Despite the loss of heavy machine guns and mortars that provided fire cover, the remaining infantry was not vegetarian either.

Light machine guns constantly joined the battle, acting as temporary points of fire. More than 10 grenadiers that accompanied the team to attack were quickly set up and prepared for artillery bombardment at the Liaodong Army's firepower point one or two hundred meters away.

The heavy machine gun shooters of the Liaodong Army, who had been staring at the devil infantry, shot out two fine lights as soon as they saw the grenadiers.

Then quickly adjust the muzzle and stare at the devil grenadier to shoot.

The effective range of the heavy machine gun of up to 1,000 meters is vividly displayed here, and as soon as the devil grenadier shows his head, a string of heavy machine gun bullets will sweep towards him. The grenadier who thought he would not be attacked was instantly beaten into a hornet's nest and died no longer to die.

As for the light machine guns that serve as temporary firing points, in addition to being attacked from time to time by a mass of heavy machine guns and mortars, they also have to guard against the counterattack of a group of light machine guns.

In just a few minutes, more than two dozen light machine guns were almost defeated.

At this time, the devil infantry was also defeated and lost more than half. The remaining more than 300 infantry saw that there was no hope of continuing to rush forward, and immediately lay on the ground and fired at a group.

Although their counterattack inflicted a lot of casualties on the first regiment, it was clear that their casualties were much greater under the blows of the superiority in strength and firepower of the regiment. After another two minutes, there were less than a hundred devils who could still move in front of the battle.

At this time, the remaining Japanese troops immediately thought of retreating, and then fled for their lives desperately.

"If you want to run, it's not that easy, order three mortar companies, three heavy machine gun platoons, shoot with all your might, and eat the remaining dozens of devils for me.

The 800-odd Devil Attack Force was wiped out without any doubt, and the mountain artillery battalion, which had successfully blown up the Devil Mortar Squadron, had readjusted its muzzle and aimed it at the main force of the Japanese Wing, which had gathered more than 1,000 people.

Soon, a violent explosion sounded in the middle of the Japanese army, and a fireball mixed with thick black smoke rose into the air, overturning the devils around who were caught off guard.

In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand devils began to skewer around the battlefield like frightened birds.

At this time, the second round of shells that came from the roar once again took the lives of more than 100 devils. The remaining panicked devils also began to retreat under the retraction of the officers.

The mountain artillery battalion did not stop shelling because the devils retreated, but chased after them. It was not until they withdrew from the mountain artillery range that the shelling stopped. More than 300 devil soldiers fell scattered on the retreat road.

Seeing that a forward wing didn't last half an hour before retreating like a lost dog, and half of the troops were missing.

Dashanyan's anger immediately soared upward, and he slapped the wing commander twice when he went up, and then asked what was going on in front of him.

After listening to the report, a trace of bad premonition immediately appeared in Dashanyan's mind.

With a frown, he asked the chief of staff, "What do you think?" Mountain artillery, mortars, light and heavy machine guns are available, and there is also a complete blocking position, which is the main force of the Liaodong Army. Could it be that the bait prepared by our remaining troops for the Liaodong Army did not work? ”

The chief of staff frowned and thought about it and replied: "The main force is certain, as for whether the left-behind troops have attracted the attention of the Liaodong Army, I don't know, after all, we have only divided our troops." ”

'The line in front of us, we certainly didn't have before the attack. Now that a complete line of defense has suddenly appeared, it must have been written for two or three hours to be repaired. That is, after we started the attack, the Liaodong Army made an order to block us here, and it has nothing to do with whether our remaining troops have attracted the attention of the devils.

Dashan Yan immediately reacted: "Since this is the case, then we will use a fierce attack to take down this line of defense." Let the Liaodong Army know that blocking will definitely not be able to stop us. The smoke of gunpowder held us back, and the only way to force the Liaodong Army to the side of the left-behind troops was from our left-behind troops. In this way, we will be able to quickly raid Liaozhong and retreat with one blow. ”

"Commander-in-Chief is wise!" After giving Dashanyan a small sycophant, the chief of staff reminded: "After letting the Liaodong Army see our powerful offensive, as long as the main force of the Liaodong Army has not been attracted by artillery, we must pay attention to the rhythm of the attack." ”

"If we fight too fast and make the Liaodong Army feel that they don't have time to take down our remaining troops, then they will definitely stand in front of us and desperately block us."

"Of course, when attracting the attention of the Liaodong Army in the direction of artillery, we must be prepared to forcibly assault Liaozhong. Once the bait cannot attract the attention of the Liaodong Army, no matter what the cost, we must break through the Liaodong Army's defense line within three days. ”

"Yo Xi!" Dashan Yan nodded with a look of approval.

After thinking about it, he ordered very decisively: "Break through the defense line of the Liaodong Army in front of you within half an hour, and let the Liaodong Army know that our thunderous blow is powerful!" ”

When Dashanyan began to deploy troops to attack, Li Zhilong had already received the news of the devil's division of troops.

As soon as the chief of staff Yuan Lei read the telegram, his eyes lit up and he proposed: "The military salary, devil artillery and baggage troops are only escorted by one brigade and regiment. As long as it is properly arranged, I can eat them cleanly with only one division, and then take down the devil artillery and baggage troops"

"According to the reconnaissance, the devil artillery still has two heavy artillery brigades and nearly 100 mountain and field artillery, if it can be captured, the artillery strength of our Liaodong Army will definitely be greatly improved."

Although Li Zhilong didn't know about a conspiracy prepared for him by the devil at this time, he still shook his head and refused: "No, you ignored the devil's artillery and baggage troops. A division against a devil and a brigade, it is definitely us who will win. But the two or three hundred cannons that the devils are equipped with are not vegetarian. When the time comes, the long-range artillery strikes of the devils alone can blow up one of your divisions, let alone attack. ”

"Unless you have a way to make a main division quietly advance to a position three or four hundred meters away from the devil!"
