    In front of the front-line position, Colonel Fuji looked resolutely at the defenders' positions in the distance. Although the battle had not yet started, it could be seen from the layout of the defenders' positions that the opponent had already prepared to defend to the death.

    "However, Captain Fuji was not worried. Instead, he was slightly excited, because the more defensive the defenders were, the less likely they were to escape, and the greater the chance of being annihilated.

    Relatively speaking, as the attacking party, their chances of making achievements are higher.

    As the captain of the 35th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Fuji Imiyoshi not only came from a distinguished family, he was also a direct member of the famous Fuji family in Japan. Although he was not a direct descendant and had no inheritance rights, he was still very valued in the family.  Captain Fuji is also very ambitious. He has repeatedly made meritorious deeds on the Chinese battlefield and won a lot of honors for his family. This time is no exception. After he severely defeated his old rival Isa Kazuo, he must conquer the opponent no matter what.  small town.

    Of course, judging from the current situation, the 35th Regiment will definitely suffer heavy casualties in this battle, but so what, as the captain of the Major Regiment, he does not need to go to the battlefield to fight directly with the Chinese army.  , how many people died has anything to do with him!

    From this point of view, Colonel Fuji is definitely a standard iron-blooded soldier. In his opinion, all soldiers should fight for the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and everyone should have the consciousness of being shrouded in horse leather.

    After a simple observation, Colonel Fuji ordered the troops to start a tentative attack. He first let the thirty-two 75mm field guns of the field artillery brigade test-fire at the defenders' positions, and then conducted 10 rapid-fire rounds. The artillery fired  At the same time, a squadron of infantry quickly launched a charge.

    "Compared with the previous Seventh Regiment, both the artillery and infantry of the 35th Regiment seemed a bit manic. Even a tentative attack directly dispatched a squadron of troops, and the artillery was almost at full firepower.

    Defending the frontal position is the Second Regiment of the Duba Brigade. After they withdrew from Daishan Town, they stationed in Chihe Town. However, since the Second Regiment lost a lot of troops yesterday, there is only one battalion of the Second Regiment on the frontal position today, and the rest are all  It is a troop of the third regiment, but the commander is still Gao Hu.

    Gao Hu is already very experienced in fighting the Japs, and he has already figured out the Japanese attack mode. Whether it is the previous step-by-step approach of the Seventh Regiment or the current violent attack mode of the Little Japs, he has expected it.

    When the Japanese army started shelling, Gao Hu did not let the soldiers immediately enter the front-line position. Instead, he asked the soldiers to hide in temporary air-raid shelters and wait, leaving only a few forward observation posts on the front-line position.

    He knew very well that if he directly entered the front-line position now, he would have to bear the brunt of the artillery bombardment by the Japs. Last night, the Japs' artillery had already proved their power.

    After the previous battle in Daishan Town, Gao Hu thought that the Japanese army's artillery strength should have declined. After all, according to the intelligence they detected, the Japanese Ninth Division only had one artillery regiment, and they had already destroyed it during the battle of Daishan Town.  The Japs have at least one artillery brigade. Logically speaking, the Japs only have two artillery brigades left at most.

    However, the current result is that instead of reducing the artillery force of the Little Japanese, it is much stronger than an artillery regiment, and the power of the artillery is also much stronger than before in Daishan Town.

    When they were in Daishan Town, the Japs only dispatched mountain artillery, but now there are not only mountain artillery, but also a large number of field artillery.  Although the caliber of both is 75mm, the power of the field gun is more than twice that of the mountain gun.

    Therefore, Gao Hu will never let his soldiers fight the Japanese artillery with their flesh and blood, unless it is absolutely necessary!

    After a simple test firing by the Japanese artillery, Gao Hu knew that the Japanese artillery bombardment was about to begin. This was a consistent habit of the little Japanese.

    Sure enough, two minutes later, after a simple correction to bombard Zhuyuan, the crackling shells hit the defenders' front line like hail, making a violent explosion.

    Fortunately, there were only a few observation posts on the position at this time, otherwise a single bombardment would have wiped out several companies of their troops.

    After the shelling, 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.

    Through the telescope, Gao Hu saw in front of the front line, a Japanese infantry squadron leader commanded less than two hundred Japanese soldiers to quickly approach the defender's frontal position under the cover of artillery.

    Seeing this situation, Gao Hu showed a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth. He was wearing an officer's uniform and holding a command knife in his hand. This was not something he was telling the snipers on the front line.??Me!

    In Gao Hu¡¯s view, the Japanese squadron leader in front of the front line is already a dead man!

    Sure enough, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw the squadron leader's forward charging steps suddenly pause, and then his whole body flew backwards, and finally fell to the ground motionless.

    Although Gao Hu did not see the specific situation because the opponent was quickly surrounded by a group of soldiers after he fell, it is conceivable that it was the sniper on the front line who took action.

    Soon, the little devils on the front line were in confusion, and then a lieutenant took over the command, and the captain officer was directly carried off the battlefield by several soldiers. Judging from the drooping arms and the way the soldiers carried him, it seemed that  Apparently killed in action.

    "We killed one of the opponent's squadron leaders right after the battle started. This is a good sign. It's a good start!"

    Soon, the little devil entered the effective shooting range of the defenders, and then heard a crisp gunshot from the front line, and then fierce gunshots suddenly rang out from the defenders' position, and the first blocking line  A reinforced battalion and more than thirty permanent fire points opened fire simultaneously.

    "Da da da"

    The little devils who rushed in front were shot and killed in front of the position, like cut wheat, knocked down to the ground row by row.

    In less than a minute, one-third of the Japanese troops in a strengthened squadron were killed, and the remaining Japanese soldiers were overwhelmed by the dense firepower of the defenders.

    Colonel Fuji was also closely watching the battle on the front line. Seeing that the attacking third squadron was absolutely suppressed, he immediately ordered the cannon squadron and infantry artillery squadron on the front line to provide immediate fire support.

    Different from field mountain artillery and field artillery units, the most powerful fire support weapon of the Japanese infantry is actually the Type 92 infantry cannon. Following the order of Colonel Fuji, several infantry cannons on the front line opened fire quickly, targeting the half-covered troops of the defenders.  style of firepower.

    "Boom"

    With the display of Japanese artillery, a bunker on the defender's position was hit by artillery fire!

    But what surprised the Japanese army was that a shell from the Type 92 infantry cannon hit directly, and the defender's bunker remained motionless. The imagined scene of falling apart did not appear.

    They know very well that the Chinese army does not have that much steel and concrete to build defense fortifications. Generally, the defense fortifications built by combat troops are made of soil, sand, gravel and bricks, and their defensive capabilities are actually very average.

    However, the scene in front of them completely shocked these Japanese soldiers. Although the Type 92 infantry cannon was not very powerful, ordinary masonry buildings really couldn't withstand its bombing. How could it be hit head-on and not react at all?  nor.

    What the little devil didn't know was that in order to defend Bengbu City this time, Li Guoyao and the theater headquarters specially approved 300 tons of cement and 50 tons of steel bars. At the same time, Li Guoyao mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to go into the mountains and dig a large amount of stone, so these defenses  The fortifications are all made of reinforced concrete and stone.

    In order to increase the protection capability, Li Guoyao also ordered people to dismantle all the railway lines within 50 kilometers around Bengbu City. The rails were transported to the west wind and handed over to the Jiangnan guerrillas, while the sleepers were all transported to the front line for use.  Build fortifications everywhere.

    How can it be that such fortifications built with such great efforts can be conquered so easily!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
