The Soviet-made 82 mortar uses 81 caliber shells, and the landing point is much worse.

It is no longer easy for artillery soldiers to accurately hit the left wing of the Japanese army. Is the Soviet weapon good, but it is the model?

What's so that!

It was obviously a muzzle of the same caliber, and the Soviet-made shells would get stuck when sent to the barrel of a daily mortar. Later, after careful investigation, I found that the caliber of the two types of artillery was only one centimeter different, and there were such problems with rifle bullets and machine gun bullets.

In short, after using Soviet weapons, the troops' firepower has been greatly enhanced.

But the logistics pressure suddenly increased.

Xing Guodong raised his glasses in his chest and watched the changes in the battlefield. After the artillery fire extended, the two heavy machine gun companies on both wings also began to cooperate with the infantry's attack and advance in depth. As long as this wave of attacks was successful, the Japanese army on the opposite side would be divided into two parts ten minutes later, and the head and tail could not be taken into consideration. At that time, the Japanese devils were pigs to be slaughtered, and they could fight as much as the troops fought.

"Are the 4th and 6th battalions ready?"

Xing Guodong faced the battlefield. As soon as the battle started, there was no change on his face. Whether he was rigid or indifferent, he would always remind himself over and over again that a small mistake would make the soldiers pay the price of bleeding and he would not be underestimated.

"The brigade commander, you are all ready. As long as the Japanese cavalry dares to leave the woods, they will fall into the firefighting of our two battalions. If you don't die, you won't get out." The 2nd Regiment Commander Hong Cheng replied seriously. He had been waiting for the main attack mission for a long time.

Originally, he couldn't understand why the column kept the Japanese army surrounded like this, and later he vaguely saw a little reason.

It turned out that it was surrounded by this Japanese army and that it was pulling out the main force of the Japanese in the city.

It is often encountered when besieging the city and fighting aid, but it is rare to siege the enemy in field battles. Once it is dark, the opponent has cavalry again and it is likely to break through the siege, which will be troublesome. Fortunately, the command issued a combat order and the brigade headquarters handed over this order to the hands of the 2nd Regiment, which made him feel relieved.

Seeing the progress of layers of progress on the battlefield, Hong Cheng gradually put his heart in his stomach: "Hey..., no, why did the Japanese have so many infantry?"

After watching for a while, the two armies had already exchanged fire, and the enemy and I were already intertwined.

It was originally estimated that there should be one squadron of infantry in the Japanese army, but once the two armies contacted each other, the Japanese infantry suddenly became more numerous.

"It should be the Japanese artillery, temporarily acting as infantry." Xing Guodong also discovered something strange on the battlefield. The 1st Brigade's frontal attack was a battalion. However, the Japanese army opposite was obviously more troops than the one in one battalion. In addition to the lack of combat structure, the advantage in numbers was also very obvious.

Xing Guodong knew it in his heart.

The Japanese clearly made a desperate bet, and it seemed that they were prepared. They used artillery as infantry and their combat effectiveness was definitely several levels lower. It was not these artillery soldiers who should stabilize the front line, but the remnants of the artillery guard squadrons, and there might be some cavalry combat troops.

A cavalry brigade of the Japanese army also had a machine gun squadron.

When the Great Wall War, the 8th and 6th Regiments of the Japanese cavalry were used as precedents for infantry combat. Judging from the casualties of the 17th Army of the Central Army, the combat capabilities of the Japanese cavalry were no worse than those of infantry.

Xing Guodong even faced a brigade of the 14th Japanese Cavalry Regiment, and his combat effectiveness should not be worse than the 8th and 6th Cavalry Regiments of that year, and it may even be a little stronger.

It would be a troublesome if the Japanese cavalry gave up their war horses and held on in the woods.

"Order the 1st Battalion to pounce on it, and the battle must be resolved within 20 minutes."

"yes!"

The staff officers around Hong Cheng immediately took orders to the hidden area of ​​the 1st Battalion. The commander of the 1st Battalion, originally as the second offensive echelon, was lying in the grass and cursing. Their regiment was playing the main attack, but they just put the strongest 1st Battalion behind them to watch the show. Where can this put his main battalion face?

"The 1st Battalion, the brigade commander, immediately take the 1st Battalion and pounce on the left wing of the Japanese army. The battle must be resolved within 20 minutes. Repeat the order!"

"The 1st Battalion rushed to the left wing of the Japanese army and cleared the left wing defense line within 20 minutes."

After the left wing increased the attacking force of a battalion, the Japanese defense line gradually became a little unstoppable. The Japanese army's fighting will just raised was a little hesitant and even loosened. Especially the Japanese artillery soldiers in the defense line, they had never encountered any situation when they were on the front line in war.

In the past, even the shadow of the opponent was not visible. The artillery only placed the cannons on a prepared position in advance, and then adjusted the firing according to the order.

Although it is a little tiring to work, there is a lack of air strikes in the Chinese battlefield, and the possibility of artillery soldiers encountering danger is very low.

In a rare city battle, artillery will be used as a task to break fortifications. Armor-piercing bullets can be used to destroy the opponent's strong fortifications, but there is no need to hold a rifle, insert a bayonet, and fight face to face by one person.

From fighting between the two armies to interlacing together.

The attack was launched for only a dozen minutes, just like a tsunami hitting the embankment. A few minutes ago, the relatively stable defense line began to collapse and collapse by the afterglow of the impact.

Last moment, Master Fukuda, who was still excited about the courage of the soldiers, faced an attack like a mountain torrent, I really don’t know whether to be glad or lament.

From the perspective of a soldier, his sense of crisis has indeed helped him a lot.

The Japanese army prepared in advance also had the possibility of resisting this attack. The cavalry was temporarily useless, at least in the face of the first wave of attacks, there was no way. This was not because the cavalry was not strong in combat, but because the cavalry lost the possibility of charging in a narrow area.

The war horses that were spinning in place were much easier to beat than people.

Previously, Xing Guodong seemed to have the intention to seize the Japanese war horses. This was not a bag of cigarettes, and everyone smoked them. It was hundreds of war horses, a large area of ​​blackness. If it was seized, as long as it was properly trained, he would be able to add another cavalry battalion equipment in a few months.

If you fight in the mountains, the cavalry will not be as powerful as the infantry.

However, the 1st Column will face plain combat, which has a great demand for cavalry. It is easy to find soldiers who can ride horses. Many of the people in the three northeastern provinces are nomadic people and can roll on horseback when they are young. However, it is difficult to find war horses. As one of the most difficult units to train among technical troops, cavalry training has always been a hard work that takes great results and takes slow results.

Suddenly, hundreds of properly trained war horses were placed in front of Xing Guodong, and they were all fake without ignorance.

But no matter how eager the eyes are, it cannot delay the encirclement and annihilation of the Tianzhong Detachment. Almost gritted the teeth. Xing Guodong issued the order of the machine artillery battalion to attack the Japanese cavalry, firepower suppressed the attempt to rush into the area where infantry battles. Once these cavalry succeeded, the 1st Brigade would suffer huge casualties.

The cavalry riding on horses and the infantry intertwined, and they had a huge advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

After all, war horses can also help a lot.

At the same time, the Japanese artillery, which had just been adapted into infantry, was experiencing the most severe test of their joining the army. The Japanese artillery was negligent in bayonet training and could remain calm when the two armies were a distance away. However, in hand-to-hand combat, blood and the last howling of companions became the rocks that oppressed their last psychological defense line.

Artillerymen who lack bayonet training and actual combat were trapped in a scene where flesh and blood were flying. Although there was no deserter yet, their movements began to be stiff and their movements became slower.

This is a manifestation of inner fear. Some people will become neurotic, waves, not to mention any technical and tactical actions. Being able to save lives in actual combat is already a blessing from our ancestors.

“Onboard…”

Although the Japanese artillery had no advantage in bayonet battles, it seemed that they had also found a solution in actual combat.

The pulling ring that pulled off the grenade, shouted "Long Live" and more and more soldiers of the 1st Brigade died together. Seeing that the battlefield was getting more and more chaotic, this attack would be dangerous if this continued. Although the 1st Brigade had the advantage in combat forces, it did not think of using huge casualties to exchange for this victory.

Xing Guodong saw it and was anxious in his heart.

"No, we must find a way to save the threat caused by the Japanese suicide attack." Xing Guodong was secretly anxious and looked around: "Prepare to let the guard company of the 2nd Regiment go up, remember to keep the soldiers at a certain distance from the Japanese army, and use pistols to solve the enemy's vitality."

"Guard Company, follow me!"

Hong Cheng was originally planning to let the two soldiers stay to protect Xing Guodong and lead the troops up by himself. However, Xing Guodong's shouting suddenly made all the plans in his heart fail.

"Chief, you can't go up!"

"Nonsense, isn't the one behind me not a weapon?" When he went to the front line, Xing Guodong found a sam from the brigade guard company. This gun carries a large amount of ammunition and has a better sight than a pistol. It can also adjust a single shot. In the melee, it is definitely the biggest weapon to kill the enemy.

However, in the Soviet military aid, the number of **sha was limited. The 1 brigade raised only a few dozen troops, usually concentrated in the guards.

Seeing that the battle was about to be in Jiaozuo state, Xing Guodong couldn't help but lifted his gun and carried a submachine gun horizontally, and took big steps into the battlefield.

Generally speaking, commanders at the brigade level do not need to charge on the battlefield.

But it depends on the situation. For example, in a major battle, there is nothing strange about the brigade commander leading the team to charge. The situation has been completely one-sided since the battle has been fought, because the surrounded Japanese army is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength.

But that's it, accidents happened on the battlefield.

What Xing Guodong didn't expect was that the infantry temporarily organized by the Japanese army was fearless and fearless. They began to use the "meat and egg" tactic. This fighting style that died with the opponent completely ignored the tactics. The soldiers' training situation relied on courage to pull off the explosives tied to their bodies and attacked the most crowded places.

It is almost impossible for artillery soldiers to hold back the opponent's elite infantry in infantry battle.

But Master Fukuda judged from an empirical perspective that using a ‘suicide’ attack might be able to repel the first wave of attacks and create opportunities for the cavalry’s counterattack.

As long as the cavalry rushed out, the infantry would stabilize the defense line.

There are cavalry restraints on the periphery, and the internal one cannot be annihilated in a short time. Perhaps the end of the battle can really save most of the power.

"attack!"

Major Fukuda commanded the last few soldiers involved in the "meat egg" attack and rushed forward to the 1st Brigade soldiers. Seeing that the Japanese were carrying grenades with limited explosive power at all, but a 75-caliber shell. If this was ignited, within a few dozen steps, no matter how close the enemy and us were, they would be flattened.

At this time, Major Fukuda showed a sick smile on his face.

He even vaguely saw the gorgeous sparks, with the sound of shocking explosions, destroying the soldiers rushed up to the 1st Brigade in the flames.

Of course, several of them are their own artillery soldiers, but Major Fukuda thinks it is all worth it.

"Pursuits are definitely not what an imperial soldier should do. The empire has imperial pride, that is, conquest. Every soldier should have the awareness of dying for the empire and dare not take any form of this kind of death." This sentence is the most common sentence that Master Fukuda said when mobilizing. At that time, several senior sergeants and lieutenants from the artillery brigade were determined to join Major Fukuda's plan, use ordinary suicide attacks, and send only the artillery shells from several artillery to the crowd.

Then……

Nothing then...

Major Fukuda originally hoped to lead the team to complete this final blow, but unfortunately his subordinates did not appreciate it. They believed that the artillery brigade was not on the verge of destruction and needed a wise leader.

Tutou-

**The deep gunshots of sand sounded on the battlefield in a hurry.

Seeing that his most important attack was about to be completed, several subordinates holding shells suddenly fell to the ground, with bloody eyes on their bodies.

"No--"

Major Fukuda shouted in despair that he even paid hundreds of casualties for this moment. In his plan, in order to reduce casualties, his opponent will definitely invest more attack troops than his own. Conservatively estimated that at least two battalions would be killed if the troops of these two battalions were killed.

Not to mention breaking through, Major Fukuda even fantasized that even the opportunity to counterattack would mature.

Xing Guodong, who had just rushed into the battlefield and used his firepower advantage to make a bloody path among the Japanese invaders, also discovered the strangeness of the Japanese army. Several Japanese evasives were looking for a yellow "thing" on the battlefield, surrounded by Japanese hiding and covering them.

It doesn't matter at first glance, but Xing Guodong understood it. The Japanese carried shells.

This is not the noise of pulling the grenade. The delay of the Japanese melon grenade is about 5 wonderful, and the explosion is about 6 meters. It is basically one-on-one casualties. In the face of this suicide attack, there are not many ways to kill the other party with a gun before.

However, Xing Guodong and the soldiers of the 1st Brigade could accept such one-on-one casualties.

Originally, guns and cannons on the battlefield are the duty of soldiers to die in battle to defend their country. There are also soldiers who have fired grenades and died together with the Japanese. Many of the soldiers who were red-eyed and did not care about their personal safety at all. The only belief in their hearts is victory.

When two armies meet, either you die or I die.
