"Commander, the machine gun in the castle fired..." Huang Yonggui was the first to discover the changes in the battlefield.

Wang Dehou raised his eyebrows and saw that the attacking troops suddenly fell down more than a dozen people, half of which were Japanese devils.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops rushed to the ground and stopped attacking.

It was not until this time that the strafing sound of five light machine guns reached Wang Dehou.

For the first time, he felt the gunshots so wonderful, as intoxicating as music.

The heart that had just heard of my throat slowly lowered my heart and quickly shifted my eyes to the blocking position.

Based on his understanding of the Japanese, after the attack was frustrated, he would definitely concentrate grenade launchers and heavy machine guns to suppress the blocking firepower and cover the offensive troops to continue the attack.

As long as five bastions can withstand the attack of grenade launchers, it is no problem to kill twenty Japanese and puppet troops with the firepower of five light machine guns.

"Boom...Boom..." The explosion soon came from the battlefield, and several balls of black smoke rose from the mound.

Wang Dehou could see clearly that the first round of grenades attacked by the Japanese army hit the target.

Fortunately, the light machine gun inside the castle continues to shoot.

After several rounds of grenades were ineffective, the Japanese and puppet troops began to retreat, leaving at least thirty corpses in front of the formation, and fell to the ground in a row.

Wang Dehou immediately turned his attention to the Japanese and puppet troops. Seeing that they began to mount mortars and mountain cannons, he was very happy to order: "The blocking effect of the first line of defense has been achieved!"

"The Japanese started to set up artillery, and the defensive troops retreated immediately. Our troops were limited. If we could not get bombed, we would not get bombed. The troops on the second line of defense were ready for combat!"

Huang Yonggui's face was already full of joy.

The staff officer who passed the order left excitedly and shouted: "Commander, the tactics that Zhou Cheng handed us to us are useful!"

"I just counted it. There were 36 corpses left on the battlefield by the Japanese and puppet troops. In addition to the wounded people they took away when they retreated, there must be more than forty casualties."

"One line of defense killed forty Japanese and puppet troops, and ten lines of defense totaled 400 people. From here to Zhangzhuang Town, a total of 18 defense lines were built. If each line of defense could be fought so smoothly, we would definitely be able to repel the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops."

Wang Dehou should calm down and shook his head and replied: "I am not as optimistic as you."

"The battle just now can only show that this style of fighting is useful, and it does not mean that we can definitely defeat the Japanese and puppet troops."

"The Japanese are not stupid. If you suffer a few more losses, you will learn a lesson. Even if we use the same style of play, the next blocking battle will definitely become more and more difficult and the results will be less and less."

"But no matter what, we won the first exchange of fire between the National Salvation Army and the Japanese."

"As long as there are few casualties in the blocking troops, we can compete with the Japanese for one defense line and one defense line, and slowly waste it."

When the Japanese attacked the position, Major Fujita's face looked very bad.

His eyes were staring at the rings of the mounds, red and red, as if they could spit fire.

Before the war, I kept reminding myself to be cautious and not underestimate the enemy. I also did this, and I specially sent troops to launch a tentative attack to find out the truth of the opponent, but in the end I was deceived by the National Salvation Army.

The frustration in my heart is simply undescribable in words.

"Sir, the artillery has set up positions and can fire at any time!" A communications officer suddenly ran over.

Major Fujita was energetic, and he felt like he had found a target of venting, and his murderous command was filled with murderous orders: "Fire immediately, razed all the machine gun castle just exposed on the mound to the ground, and the soldiers hiding inside were blown into minced meat!"

"The first squadron will produce another infantry squad, and the Imperial Army will produce a platoon, and stand by in front of the formation."

"At the time the shelling stops, attack immediately, kill the upper mound and eliminate the remaining enemies, and you cannot let an enemy run away."

"Boom..."

Two mountain cannons roared at the same time, and the shells roared towards the mound.

Fujita first saw two balls of black smoke rising from the mound, a large amount of soil and logs were blown away, and then he heard the violent explosion of shells."

"Boom...boom..." Three mortars also joined the battle, and their power was far less powerful than mountain cannons, but their firing speed was fast.

The second round of mountain cannons had not yet been released, and the three mortars had fired two rounds of six shells.

The mound was filled with smoke, and the sky was filled with soil, logs, and stones...

After smashing out fifty shells, Major Fujita's anger sootheed: "The artillery stopped, heavy machine guns covered, infantry assaulted, and killed all the enemies still alive on the mound."

"I don't want to capture prisoners today, I just need to kill the enemy numbers."

The attack was very smooth, as if it was as Major Fujita said, the enemies on the position were blown away...

It was not until the leader of the team ran over with a heavy face that Major Fujita realized something was wrong.

"Sir, we have taken down the position, and the five castles were also destroyed, but no enemy was found on it."

After saying that, the team leader lowered his head and stood beside him, not daring to say a little extra.

The captain just now ordered the offensive troops to kill all the enemies on the position, but they ran away long ago. All the fifty shells that hit the mound were in vain. Except for the explosion of five unguarded castles, no enemy was killed.

Such a result is tantamount to a slap in the face.

As soon as the lieutenant finished speaking, Fujita's face turned red. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and looked like he wanted to curse.

But he swallowed it back when he said something.

The regular offensive is done by oneself from the beginning to the end of the execution. Now that I lose, if I really want to hold the responsibility accountable, I can only find myself.

So Fujita can't find the target even if he wants to scold people, unless he scolds himself.

“Bageya Road…”

After yelling to himself twice, he ordered helplessly: "The army continues to move forward!"

"The National Salvation Army is located in Zhangzhuang Town. As long as we capture Zhangzhuang Town, they have no place to go if they want to run away, so they can only fight with us."

After following the team for more than 500 meters, a gunshot suddenly came from the front, and the team that was moving quickly stopped moving.

Just as Fujita was about to arrange a staff officer to investigate what was going on, he saw the forward liaison officer running over with a blush on his face.

Before the person stood firm, he gasped and reported.

"Sir, we just ran into the blocking position that the National Salvation Army disguised. The troops were beaten to a surprise attack, killing two imperial troops, three imperial assistant troops, and injuring one imperial army!"

"The blocking position was built on the ridge in front and attacked us from a high point."

"If the troops want to continue moving forward, they must take down the ridge."

Fujita understood as soon as he heard this: "The National Salvation Army wants to repeat the same trick."

"The blocking positions on the ridge are definitely not as simple as we see. They must have hidden machine gun castles. When the offensive troops approach, they suddenly fire. They can not only repel us, but also kill us a large number of troops, killing two birds with one stone."

After hearing this, the adjutant looked disbelief. He didn't know where the captain got the confidence that the National Saving Army was repeating the same trick.

What if this is just an ordinary blocking position?

The sixth sense of the soldier made Fujita believe in his judgment. No matter what the adjutant thought, he only believed in himself and his face sank.

"The artillery is ready for combat and fires fired at the blocking positions on the ridge in five minutes."

"After the shelling is over, the infantry attacks, and take down the ridge as fast as possible."

"I want to fight to Zhangzhuang Town as soon as possible to fight the National Salvation Army, and I don't want to waste too much time here."

Fujita's playing style is summarized based on the first line of defense just now.

The National Salvation Army has no cement, and the castle built seems to be strong, but in fact it is strong on the outside but hard on the inside and has no protective power.

As long as you destroy them with artillery fire and then razed the blocking position, the National Salvation Army that defended the position will definitely collapse without fighting and give the position to yourself for free as before.

The idea is good, but Fujita overlooks one problem.

When the first line of defense was bombarded just now, the artillery knew the specific locations of the five castles and could hit and destroy it with one blow.

In the bombardment in front of him, the gunner did not know the specific location of the castle, so he could only attack blindly, and the blind cat hit the mouse to death.

The defense line is more than 100 meters wide, and a castle can be built everywhere. Only God knows whether the castle can be destroyed in the end.

"Boom..."

The shelling began quickly. In less than a minute, the top of the beam was blown out from thick smoke.

Fujita's expression was calm and he believed that the result of this battle would not be beyond his expectations.

As soon as the shelling ended, the attacking troops rushed towards Liangding, and the speed was very fast.

This is the troops that just took down the first line of defense. Their thoughts were the same as Fujita: the artillery fire was so fierce that the national rescue army on the top of the beam had long been blown away, and the attack in front of them was just a gesture and there would be no danger.

The rifle was in his hand, without any formation, and rushed towards the top of the beam.

"Da da da da...b...b..."

They were afraid that the sound of machine gun strafing suddenly sounded on the top of the beam, and it sounded quite a lot, and the sound of rifle shooting sounded at the same time, which was very messy.

The attacking troops, which were crowded into groups, were like a group of living targets, and at least twenty people were swept down in the blink of an eye.

The remaining soldiers quickly fell down and wanted to raise their guns to fight back.

But the opponent's firepower was too strong, and he attacked them from a high position. He was still beaten on the ground, and more and more soldiers were beaten to death.

Fujita's face changed.

First, he was shocked, then a hint of panic flashed, but now he was anxious.

Seeing his subordinates almost shouting orders: "Why are you still standing there? The artillery fired immediately to cover the attacking troops and retreat!"

"Boom..." The grenade launcher is light and easy to operate. First join the battle, the grenade flies up the ridge as if it is not expensive.

Soldiers were constantly blown out of the trenches.

The problem is that the machine gun castle that poses the greatest threat to the offensive forces was not affected, and bullets were sprayed out like money, flying among the offensive forces, reaping their lives.

"Why didn't the artillery fire? Knock off the machine gun castle on the top of the beam!" Fujita was anxious.

"Sir, mortars and mountain cannons need to be aimed, and it will be fine right away." The liaison officer reminded.

"Boom..." As soon as he finished speaking, a few cannons came from the artillery position, and Fujita could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After three rounds of shells were fired in succession, the machine guns in my squad finally stopped, and the offensive troops retreated in a panic with the wounded.

More than ten seconds later, two mountain cannons joined the battle, and the top of the beam was once again covered by gunpowder.
Chapter completed!
