    At one o¡¯clock in the afternoon on August 4th, the battle to attack Yinan County began again!

    Unlike the previous battles, this time Li Guoyao's troops and the Sulu Theater Headquarters attacked simultaneously from the north and the south.

    ????????????????????? But the little devil is not ambiguous, deployed a large number of troops in the outer positions of Yinan County, and completely put on a posture of wearing clothes to death!

    On the outskirts of Yinan County, the Japanese army relied on bunkers and gun towers, connected by trenches and tunnels, to form an extremely solid line of defense, which caused huge trouble to the attacking troops.

    Especially there was a Japanese stronghold near the south gate. The Japanese army deployed a squadron there, and also equipped it with a heavy machine gun squad and an artillery squad. The amount of automatic firepower was also very large.

    At the same time, the Japs also built two strong permanent defense lines outside the gun towers. The 51st Army tried to remove these strongholds many times, but the Japs were repelled by the Japs many times, causing heavy casualties to the troops.

    As soon as the battle started, the large group responsible for the general attack concentrated their artillery fire on the Japanese outer positions.

    Unlike the 51st Army, which was constantly charging, Lu Ding'an, who was in charge of the front-line command, knew Li Guoyao's temper very well. He knew that in Li Guoyao's eyes, the most important thing was not the weapons and equipment, but the life of the ordinary soldier under his command.

    The commander cares about the lives of his brothers, so when fighting, he not only hopes to end the battle cleanly, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, but also hopes that the casualties of the troops can be controlled within a certain range.

    Therefore, after each battle, the first thing the commander has to do is not to clean the battlefield or count the results, but to treat the wounded.

    No matter how fierce the battle is, no matter how difficult the battlefield conditions are, as long as there is a slight chance, the commander will take the injured brother back for treatment.

    Because of this, Lu Ding'an did not let his troops launch a group charge against the Japanese positions at the beginning of the battle. Instead, he concentrated all artillery fire on the Japanese positions for half an hour.

    ¡° If the troops sent to Lunan this time had not traveled a long distance and did not carry large-caliber artillery, Lu Ding¡¯an would definitely have launched a larger-scale artillery bombardment on the little devils.

    The shelling that lasted for half an hour tore apart the positions outside the north gate of Yinan. An infantry squadron hiding in the position was also blown up and suffered heavy casualties.

    Due to the lack of preparation of the Japanese army for this shelling, less than 100 of the more than 200 people could stand up in the end. But even so, the Japanese did not withdraw into the city, but continued to hold on.

    A large team was repulsed by the other party in two consecutive charges, resulting in considerable losses.

    Outside the battlefield, Commander-in-Chief Yu used a telescope to observe the changes in the battle situation, and said to Li Guoyao in surprise: "Brother solemn, what a big deal! From the sound of it, there must be dozens of artillery pieces. Such a long-term bombardment, what a big deal."  How many shells are used?¡±

    Li Guoyao smiled and said: "About fifty, but most of them are small-caliber mortars. As for the number of mountain artillery and field artillery, it is very limited. It's not that we don't have any, but this trip north is a reinforcement operation, and it is impossible to carry artillery."  We couldn't move quickly, so we just dismantled a few Type 92 infantry guns and brought a small number of mortars. As for the artillery shells, we captured a lot this time, which is enough!"

    "Half an hour of shelling would consume more than ten tons of ammunition. I'm afraid the direct line of the Central Army does not have such courage!" Wang Jingxuan said with emotion.

    "Hahaha, this is all generosity to others. If there were no little devils to prepare ammunition for us, we might not know what we would be doing!" Li Guoyao said with a smile.

    Commander-in-Chief Yu said with some distress: "You boy, this is a serious waste. This little devil is not worth so many artillery shells. We can only defeat them with a few charges, leaving the shells for the critical moment."

    Li Guoyao smiled and said: "You can use a few tons of artillery shells to replace the casualties of an infantry company. It's worth it. The most valuable thing now is not the scraps of copper and iron, but the lives of soldiers. As the saying goes, money is dead and people are alive.  Will people still worry about not being able to capture cannons and artillery shells?"

    While speaking, Lu Ding'an launched an attack on the Japs' front line. Since the Japs' front lines had many bunkers, these bunkers were half-covered, just like small gun towers. They were not only strong, but also very reasonably designed.

    Due to the limited height, general artillery poses little threat to the bunker. However, there are shooting holes all around the bunker. These shooting holes, equipped with light and heavy machine guns, can crush the troops attacking the gun tower.

    As soon as the battle began, a large group fell into a hard fight. The more than thirty bunkers of the Japanese army in the forward position were densely packed with light and heavy machine guns.

    Li Guoyao and others counted the numbers and found that on the northern front alone, the Japanese army?There are 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns and more than 30 Taisho Type 11 light machine guns. The entire northern front position is like a war beast spraying steel flames.

    Less than half an hour after the charge battle started, more than 200 people from Li Guoyao's troops were carried off the battlefield directly. These were only the wounded, and many more died on the battlefield.

    In half an hour, more than half of the first team was killed or injured, and even Li Guoyao felt distressed.

    But Yinan County is related to the overall situation. Both Li Guoyao and Yu Xuezhong are determined to win the more than 4,000 puppet troops in the city.

    Although the troops suffered heavy casualties, the siege operations continued and the attack was not suspended due to casualties.

    In less than two hours, Lu Dingan organized four charges, but they were all beaten down by intensive Japanese firepower. The troops suffered extremely heavy casualties. Three of the four infantry squadrons suffered more than half of their casualties.

    Facing this kind of steel hedgehog with long thorns all over its body, Li Guoyao and Commander-in-Chief Yu have nothing to do. Unless they have large-caliber field heavy artillery, there is really nothing they can do.

    But the casualties from such a strong attack were really terrible, which made Li Guoyao miss the heartless cannon a little bit.

    Although the accuracy of that thing is average, as long as there are enough, there is no stronghold that cannot be captured.  Especially when it comes to building bunkers, that thing is authoritarian.

    But it is a pity that they did not carry the heartless cannon in this battle, mainly because the thing was a bit large and difficult to carry.

    The most important thing is that Li Guoyao felt that it was impossible for them to fight against the Japanese army in this battle, so it would be of little use and he made a mistake.

    Just when Li Guoyao was hesitating whether he should let a large group suspend the attack and then order someone to make several gunpowder projectiles on site, but at this moment, the battle situation changed again.

    Lu Dingan found a few tank wrecks from somewhere. He asked the soldiers of the demolition team to hide under the steel shell of the broken tanks and move forward slowly.  The bullets hit the wreckage of the tank, making constant tinkling sounds, and you could even see little sparks on the wreckage of the tank.

    Li Guoyao and others could see clearly from behind that these tank wreckage should only have part of the frontal armor, and the area was not very large, but it was enough for them to lift it and use it as a mobile bunker.

    This is like a group of people moving forward holding a huge bulletproof shield, with the purpose of covering the advance of the demolition team. As long as the demolition team gets close to the Japs stronghold and installs the explosive packs, those Japs bunkers will be finished.

    At this time, the little devils in the bunker were anxious when they saw this situation. They were not stupid and could understand things at a glance.

    Knowing that the Nationalist soldiers should not be allowed to get close to the bunker, each of the little Japs did not care about the mortars and Nationalist snipers outside the blockhouse. They hurried out of the bunker and started shooting at the demolition team with their light machine guns.

    At the same time, grenades were thrown one by one, and they were fighting with all their might!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
