    "Da da da"

    As the light and heavy machine guns on the defenders' positions opened fire at the same time, tongues of flame spitting out steel bullets appeared on the front line, and the dense cross lines of bullets formed towards the Japanese army.

    "Puff puff"

    The sound of bullets entering the body was constant on the position, and the screams of soldiers dying were also heard. The little Japanese who rushed into the defender's position were suppressed and could not even lift their heads.

    Sensing the strong firepower of the defenders, Kazuo Isa, Osaka Yoshino and others felt frightened. Fortunately, they tried it out. If those idiots had invested heavy troops in charging as soon as they came up, this round of counterattack by the defenders alone might have been enough.  Cause huge casualties to the imperial army!

    Although some soldiers have been lost, the firepower points of the defenders have been tested. Isa Kazuo immediately ordered the artillery brigade to conduct artillery bombardment immediately to clear the firepower points of the defenders on the front line positions!

    In this battle, the Seventh Regiment brought a standard mountain artillery brigade, equipped with a total of 12 Type 41 mountain artillery.

    After receiving Isa Kazuo¡¯s order, the Japanese artillery brigade immediately adjusted its shooting range and then conducted a test fire on the defenders¡¯ positions!

    ¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±

    After a simple test firing, the 12 75mm mountain guns opened up their firepower and launched a bombardment on the defenders' positions!

    "Boom boom boom"

    As the Japanese artillery unleashed its power, huge shells fell on the defenders' positions one after another, blowing up every fire point, and then blowing up those observation posts that had not evacuated the positions. Broken limbs and flesh and blood were blown up along with the soil.  Throw it high and then fall again!

    While the Japanese artillery was bombarding, another infantry squadron was assembled and then sent up to launch the attack in conjunction with the previous infantry squadron.

    Defending the frontal position of Daishan Town are the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the New Second Regiment, as well as the artillery battalion directly under the Duba Brigade and the 1st Battalion of the Division Air Defense Regiment, which are commanded by the commander of the New Second Regiment personally in Daishan Town.

    Gao Hu can be considered a veteran. He has been in the army for more than eight years and has been with Li Guoyao for several months. He is very experienced in fighting the Japs. The Japs' combat mode of shelling first and then charging infantry, and then shelling infantry and then charging has long been  Gao Hu figured it out.

    So when the Japanese army first started shelling, he did not order the troops to enter the front-line position immediately. Instead, he asked the soldiers to hide in temporary air-raid shelters first, leaving only one company of troops on the position to cooperate with the firepower points to counterattack.

    After the Japanese infantry attack was blocked, the Japanese artillery immediately conducted a test firing. Gao Hu knew that the Japanese artillery bombardment was about to begin.  Sure enough, a few minutes later, crackling shells hit the position like hailstones, making a violent explosion.

    Fortunately, there are not many troops on the front line of the defenders, otherwise a lot of troops could be wiped out with just one shelling.

    Before the shelling stopped, a sharp whistle sounded from the position.  Gao Hu knew that the Japanese infantry was coming, and immediately organized the soldiers to quickly enter the position.

    However, in order to confuse the little devils, the troops all behaved very low-key after entering the front-line positions. They did not even raise their heads and hid in the trenches!

    On the forward position, the Japanese infantry commander Captain Haraguchi has led his troops into the effective shooting range of the defenders. Logically speaking, the defenders should also counterattack at this time!

    But what surprised him was that the defenders' position on the opposite side was quiet, without any movement. There were not even guns sticking out of the defenders' trenches!

    what 's wrong?  Could it be that the artillery brigade has defeated this group of troops with no combat effectiveness?

    Although this kind of thing sounds a bit unbelievable, it is not uncommon on the Chinese battlefield. Especially in the later stages of the Songhu Battle, many Chinese troops were disorganized and may fall apart after a bombardment. Maybe the Chinese in front of them  The same goes for the military!

    Thinking of this, Captain Haraguchi raised the command sword in his hand high, pointed at the defending position opposite, and then loudly ordered: "Imperial warriors, the army in front of you has been defeated. I order you to quickly occupy the opposing army.  Position, quickly"

    However, before Captain Haraguchi finished speaking, he heard a crisp gunshot on the battlefield, and then saw a bullet appear in front of Captain Haraguchi, hitting his big head at once.

    A black bullet hole quickly appeared on Captain Haraguchi¡¯s forehead, half of his head was ripped off in an instant, and his whole body suddenly became lifeless.

    At the same time, there was a sudden burst of excitement on the China position that had been silent.With the sound of gunfire, an infantry battalion and seven or eight permanent firepower points on the first blocking line opened fire at the same time. Bullets shot at the little devils like raindrops, and the density was shocking.

    Of course, the effect was also impressive. The Japanese who rushed in front were knocked down to the ground row by row like wheat. Those who were not killed also fell to the ground immediately. In less than a minute, the entire front-line position was destroyed.  There was not even a single Japanese soldier left standing.

    In fact, it is understandable. If anyone dares to stand at this time, I am afraid that he will be beaten into a sieve in the next moment!

    In just a few minutes, the Japs suffered heavy losses. In the end, the two infantry squadrons withdrew less than a hundred men. The first attack was repelled by the New Second Regiment, leaving only more than a hundred Japs on the position.  Corpses and a few wounded soldiers.

    Behind the Japanese position, Isa Kazuo and others were paying close attention to the battle ahead. When they saw how easily the defenders neutralized their offensive, Isa Kazuo and others felt incredible!

    Although he sent out the two infantry squadrons of the 7th Regiment with weaker combat effectiveness. Those two squadrons had more recruits and weaker combat effectiveness, so they could be used as cannon fodder. But after all, they were also strictly trained imperial troops. Why?  Will he be defeated by the opponent so easily?

    ¡°And he could see clearly just now that the captain of the fifth squadron, Captain Haraguchi, was killed directly on the position by the opponent¡¯s sniper from a distance of more than 200 meters under the protection of a group of soldiers.

    It can be seen from the death of Captain Haraguchi that the opponent was not using an ordinary rifle, but a special sniper rifle, and even the bullets were specially made, otherwise it would not be possible for his skull to be ripped off so easily!

    After being shocked, Isa Kazuo immediately said to Colonel Yoshino on the side: "Yoshino-kun, we may have encountered the main force of the Seventh Division, and the opponent's combat power exceeded our expectations!"

    However, Colonel Yoshino said with gleaming eyes: "Isa-kun, our opportunity has come. Judging from the opponent's firepower, the opponent is at least a main group of the Seventh Division. As long as we can annihilate the opponent, this will be a great achievement."  pieces!"

    Isa Kazuo shook his head and said: "Yoshino-kun, let¡¯s not talk about the credit for the moment. If we want to take over the opposing branch/position, the casualties will be too high just by attacking alone. I would like to ask Yoshino-kun for a favor!"

    "Please tell me! As long as Yoshino can help, I'll do anything!"

    "Yoshino-kun, I want your cavalry regiment to bypass Daishan Town, and then flank the defenders on the opposite side from behind the town, thereby defeating this enemy army in one fell swoop! Please!" Isa Kazuo said.

    Yoshino thought for a while and said: "This is indeed a trick. It's just that you have to climb at least two mountains to bypass Daishan Town from here. Even the cavalry will take at least three hours. Isa-kun really needs to do this.  ?"

    "Yoshino-kun, judging from the current situation, the imperial army has little hope of taking Daishan Town within three hours. And even if they can attack and capture Daishan Town, the losses will be beyond imagination, so we'd better get rid of Yoshino-kun.  !¡±

    "Yo Xi, if that's the case, then our cavalry regiment should make a trip. It happened that the third brigade was almost annihilated by the cavalry on the opposite side. Our cavalry regiment must avenge this in person!"

    "Yo Xi! Then please leave it to Yoshino-kun!"

    Then Colonel Yoshino turned to the chief of staff beside him and said: "Can't we still contact the Second Battalion? Send them a report immediately and ask them to rendezvous with the wing headquarters immediately, and then take a detour to attack Daishan Town!"

    "Hai!"

    It¡¯s just that Colonel Yoshino didn¡¯t know at all that his second brigade had been jointly annihilated by Lu Zhanxiong and Huang Yousheng. Their telegrams were destined to be missed!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
