The Chief of Staff shook his head helplessly and replied: "The Japanese chose to have almost no terrain that can ambush more than 10,000 Japanese troops on the offensive road. It is more difficult to approach the Japanese quietly than climbing the sky, and it is impossible to do it even at night. % Chinese % novels."

However, the Chief of Staff quickly showed an expression of anticipation on his face, and then stared at Li Zhilong and asked.

"Captain, since you have thought of the problem, you must have already thought of a solution. As long as we can eat the Japanese artillery and baggage troops, and then find a way to hold them back. In less than a few days, the Japanese will retreat by themselves. Maybe we will have a chance to chase the Japanese and fight at that time."

"If there is a way, I won't frown here." Li Zhilong replied with a wry smile.

The Chief of Staff's face immediately became dark, and he asked in a heavy tone: "It cannot solve the Japanese artillery and baggage troops, and we can't solve the main forces of their three divisions. Commander, then can't we just watch the Japanese kill to our left-behind headquarters?"

Li Zhilong had a sneer on his face first, and then replied: "Who told you that I can't solve the main force of the three Japanese divisions."

The Chief of Staff looked at Li Zhilong with shock and asked, "Captain, has the reinforcements sent by the Commander to us arrived?"

Seeing Li Zhilong shake his head, the shock on the Chief of Staff's face was immediately covered by doubts, and then continued to ask: "The Japanese have nearly 60,000 troops in three divisions, and we are less than 20,000 people. How can we eat them?"

"Who said that the Japanese who solved the three divisions were going to eat them?" Li Zhilong continued to ask back.

"As long as we block the Japanese offensive, don't let them kill to Liaozhong too quickly. When the reinforcements sent by the commander arrive, we don't have to worry about the three divisions of the Japanese."

"As for the artillery and baggage troops left behind by the Japanese, although I was jealous, it would be safer to directly block the main force of their three divisions than to take the risk of attacking their artillery and baggage troops."

"It's true!" The Chief of Staff suddenly reacted and said.

Although the bait prepared by Dashanyan for Li Zhilong was very attractive, and Li Zhilong did not see the conspiracy. However, the cautious Li Zhilong was not deceived in the end and chose a means that he thought was more secure to block the Japanese.

In order to give a thunder strike to the 12th Division and quickly break through their defense line, Dashanyan was also fighting.

After learning that the enemy standing in front of him had at least one well-equipped main force.

Without suppressing the Liaodong Army's mountain cannons, Dashanyan specially pulled out all the mortars from a division to attack a regiment of positions.

In the words of Dashanyan, mountain cannons are powerful, but the number is only so many.

As long as the number of mortars is sufficient and the number of artillery positions is arranged, a mountain artillery battalion of the Liaodong Army can threaten one or two of its artillery positions, and the mortars on other positions can still continue to fire artillery to attack the enemy.

All the mortars of a division, all the heavy machine guns of a division, and the infantry of a brigade quickly left the main force under the order of Dashanyan and rushed to the group.

Looking at the Japanese who were constantly approaching him a kilometer away, the victory smile on the face of a regiment commander was instantly replaced by solemnity.

The chief of staff next to him also frowned and said in a heavy tone: "Captain, the Japanese are prepared. The next battle is definitely not as easy as we imagined! The commander gave us was to block the Japanese for an hour, and the time was almost over. See if we retreat directly!"

"No!" Although the commander frowned, he refused without hesitation.

"The Japanese are prepared and I am not a vegetarian. Even if the Japanese are just bones, I will smash it and retreat today."

At this time, seventy or eighty mortars equipped by a division of the Japanese were parked one kilometer away. The cannons and shells were very lively. As for the infantry, they continued to carry weapons and advance towards the direction of the position.

"Order the mountain artillery battalion to fire the Japanese artillery positions now! Scatter all the shells in our stock, and then retreat." The regiment commander, who saw the Japanese every move, suddenly ordered.

"Is it too early?" the chief of staff asked back with a frown.

The regiment commander shook his head and replied: "It's not too late. The Japanese drew so many mortars at once to deal with us. They must have recognized that we only have one mountain cannon battalion. Even if the mountain cannons are powerful and have a long range, they can't deal with such mortars at once."

"The best solution is to take the initiative and disrupt them before the Japanese cannons cannon and destroy them as many mortars as possible. If they cannons and then counterattack, our casualties will definitely be much greater."

Soon, the scream of shells passing through the sky rang out over the battlefield.

The Japanese artillery was still preparing, and a mortar squadron was covered with artillery fire on the spot.

The Japanese on the attacking side obviously did not expect that the Liaodong Army would take the initiative and became chaotic the moment they were bombarded.

The mountain artillery battalion seized the opportunity and fired two more rounds of shells. After blowing the mortar squadron completely, it quickly transferred the guns and prepared to shell the next artillery position of the Japanese.

After all, the elite are elite. After a brief chaos, the Japanese artillery soldiers immediately responded.

The Japanese artillery soldiers who were not targeted by the mountain artillery battalion immediately responded and fired fire at a regiment of positions.

The Japanese infantry, who were constantly advancing towards the position, immediately accelerated their attack and approached the first regiment with a scream.

Fortunately, the Japanese infantry are now seven or eight hundred meters away from the position, and the first regiment does not need to shoot and counterattack.

Therefore, when the Japanese artillery began to shell the enemy, a group of two thousand people hid in the trenches. Unless the shells hit directly into the trenches, the group of squatting in the trenches would definitely not threaten.

After the Shanyao Battalion destroyed three mortar squadrons of the Japanese, the Japanese soldiers from the two regiments finally rushed to three or four hundred meters in front of the formation.

The heavy machine gunners who were attacking with the team quickly set up the heavy machine gun, stared at a blocking position and fired.

"Order three mortar companies to stare at the Japanese heavy machine guns, fire immediately, and drain all the shells brought." A regiment commander frowned and ordered decisively.

The eighteen mortars did not care about all the Japanese heavy machine guns, but the continuous shells still caused considerable trouble to the Japanese heavy machine gun positions. Once the mortars were fired, the firepower fired by the heavy machine guns was weakened by nearly half.

But even so, the remaining heavy machine gun bullets still wove a dense bullet net over the battlefield.

The whizzing bullet flew back tightly against the trench, pressing down the soldiers without even a chance to raise their heads.

After ordering the mortar to fire, the regiment commander stared at the Japanese who were getting closer and closer in front of the formation.

Two hundred meters, the regiment commander did not order to shoot.
