In the sight of Matsumoto's right gate, the rapid-fire cannon squadron has disappeared!

In fact, the artillery that could survive this sudden heavy artillery washing accounted for about a quarter of his original rapid-fire artillery squadron, and it would not be considered annihilated.

However, the huge explosion sounds at the center of the shelling made these artillery soldiers who survived became deaf, just like their artillery squadron leader.

A group of disabled Japanese artillery soldiers is nothing, but more importantly, the artillery cannot be used anymore.

Although the six rapid-fire guns were not all accurately hit by the Chinese shells and were blown into pieces, looking at the cannon body that was tilted and even crawling on the ground, Matsumoto's right door also knew that these cannons could not be used without maintenance.

"It's over!" The artillery captain of the Matsumoto's right gate had a dull look on his face, and was almost mechanically supported by the communications soldiers to retreat towards the corps.

Perhaps, if he knew that the Third Infantry Battalion not only had the two infantry squadrons that "Long Live Charge" lost all their losses, but even the Grandma Shenmu died, he would have a much better mood.

After all, isn't he still alive?

In the end, the third Japanese Infantry Brigade, who was able to retreat 700 meters away from the blocking position of the Third Battalion of Lengfeng, began to dig field trenches desperately.

The deputy captain of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, who was watching all this with a telescope, almost burst into tears.

He was promoted to the Grand Captain of the Third Infantry Brigade. The Third Infantry Brigade was not only his soldier, but also his guarantee of his right to speak in the corps. Before the attack, the four infantry squadrons were carrying a heavy machine gun squadron with dissatisfaction due to war losses, but there were more than 900 people.

This time, I only attacked two waves, and only half of them were left.

"Replace the baggage squadron directly under the corps into the Third Infantry Brigade. Since Tanaka Jun and Master Kamiki have already fulfilled their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, you have served as the captain of the Third Infantry Brigade. Now I will appoint you to serve as the captain of the Third Infantry Brigade. Please give all the safety of the corps headquarters." Ishiguro Sadaki's face was not sad, but instead ordered decisively.

"Hi!" The Japanese Army Chusa downed his head heavily.

"Give power to the division headquarters again, our wing was besieged by a large number of Chinese troops carrying automatic firearms. All subordinate units were injured and killed. Please provide air support as soon as possible!" Ishiguro Sadazusa looked at his deputy walking away, took a deep breath, and ordered again.

It was not until this time that Ishiguro Sadatsu showed anxiety in his eyes.

The Japanese Army Colonel had realized at this time that his 2nd Infantry Regiment had actually been in a desperate situation. He could not abandon the two infantry brigades surrounded by them, but relying solely on his current strength, he could no longer save them.

If he insists on taking the lead, perhaps it is exactly what the Chinese people want. The Chinese army responsible for blocking their fronts can turn defense into offense at any time and attack the corps with huge losses.

By then, the 2nd Infantry Wing will become the laughing stock of the Imperial Army.

Originally, the Chinese only wanted to eat 2,000 people, but who knew that he, Ishiguro Satozo, had his head in water and consumed the last mobile force on the defense line carefully constructed by the Chinese, and finally even managed to get himself in.

Not to mention that the Imperial Army units would treat the 14th Division as a joke, the Chinese would take the opportunity to promote his pig head with Shiguro Satozo!

The only way now is to use the last force to defend and take a gamble.

The Chinese cannot kill two infantry brigades in one day, and reinforcements from the gambling regiment can arrive within 10 hours.

If he lost the bet, he lost two infantry brigades in the 2nd Infantry Regiment, but if he won the bet, he could turn the tables completely.

In the future, the division's battle report to the Front Command can be written: the 2nd Infantry Regiment uses two infantry brigades as bait to lure the main force of the Chinese army to siege the main force, and then the division sends all the main force to wipe out it!

Of course, Ishiguro Sadatsu didn't say anything and really abandoned the two infantry brigades. He also placed his hopes on the air power of the Imperial Army.

The Front Army has a land aviation stationed at two airports in Shanxi Province. Fighters can bomb and fire with machine guns. Even if it cannot completely solve the danger of two infantry brigades being surrounded, they can give them enough support to keep them till dusk.

I can only say that the opponent Tang Dao encountered was clear-headed and tenacious. If an ordinary army met him, he would probably suffer a big loss.

However, Ishiguro Sadao didn't know about Tang Dao from Kenji Doihara, rather than the entire Four-Levels Group. Tang Dao is the core of the Four-Levels Group, but the combat effectiveness of the Four-Levels Group is not only derived from the commander.

It originated from the battles again and again, from the fighting will to continue experiencing life and death. Even the more than a thousand Sichuan troops that later joined had experienced hard battles and deaths through Guangde.

What's even more, they have re-updated their equipment and ammunition replenishment.

The 700 kilometers of the baggage force, not counting the baggage force, has actually laid the most important foundation for this battle.

Today's Four Lines Group, in terms of personnel quality, equipment, or the execution ability of commanders at all levels, looks at the entire China in terms of comprehensive combat power, not to mention being firmly ranked first, it must be the top three.

If you are poor, tactics will be interspersed, and if you are rich, you will be covered with firepower!

Lei Xiong's first battalion and Guo Shouzhi's second battalion implemented the prodigal son's model to the end. After the first wave of confusing the Japanese army surrounded and killing a quarter of it, both sides entered the shooting mode in the vast wasteland grassland.

However, the Japanese army rolled down the roadbed basically could only use rifles and few pitiful machine guns to fight the enemy.

It’s not that the Japanese infantry squadron equipped with too few light machine guns. An infantry squadron equipped with 6 Dasho Ten young machine guns is enough to compete with an infantry battalion of an ordinary Chinese army. There are as many as 8 Japanese infantry squadrons trapped on the battlefield, which means that even if the heavy machine gun squadron suffered heavy damage, they still have nearly 50 light machine guns.

But the tragic thing is that although the first and second battalions did not use mortars, there were many grenade launchers who could stay in the grass more than 100 meters away. Their target was the continuous firepower of the Japanese army.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Once you find that the light machine guns of the Japanese army are roaring in the grass, even if the grenade turret soldiers did not have time to discover it, the squad leader in the trench would roar desperately to remind their grenade turret soldiers to solve the big troubles in front of them.

The grenade launcher machine gun is a crushing type. If one shot cannot be dried, then two shots will come and three shots will come!

Of course, the Japanese army also had grenade launchers, but the target of the grenade launcher was not as obvious as the continuous shooting of light machine guns, and the positions of the two sides were also very different.

The battle positions where the Chinese grenade launchers are hiding are not just a straw nest. Grenade launchers who are a distance away from the infantry also have individual trenches, and they also use sandbags as bunkers. As long as the grenades do not fall into the trenches or are on the edge of the trenches, they will basically not be injured by shrapnel.

The Japanese grenade launchers were just lying in the grass, and were suppressed by firepower that was not known to be searching for targets without any trace. Not to mention that they were still holding telescopes to search for targets like before, and being able to look up would be good luck.

What's more, every Chinese infantry squad has precise shooters. They instinctively do not lie on the edge of the trench and pour fire in front of them regardless of the situation.

Those who are resolute in resistance, those with sun flags tied to the muzzle, those with great lethality, and those with stars on the epaulettes are basically the targets they are looking for.

Grenades were naturally their prey, so the Japanese grenades were shot and killed in the stalemate for more than 20 minutes.

To put it bluntly, the battlefield at this time was quite like the 14th Division fighting the First Army. As soon as the Chinese machine gun firepower showed up, the Japanese grenade launcher that was 400 meters away was shot over the head. However, the Chinese side was powerless because of the shortage of mortar shells, so they could only watch as the Japanese army was leisurely knocking off their suppression firepower one by one.

Without continuous firepower suppression like machine guns, the bolt-moving rifle alone in the hands of infantry would not be able to stop the Japanese army's final charge.

However, the battlefield at this time was just the opposite. The Japanese army could only watch the Chinese people kill their machine gun firepower points in pain, but they were powerless.

At this moment, they finally understood the powerlessness of their former opponents. It was not that the soldiers had weak willpower, but that there was no way.

They also have no choice but to watch their opponents kill the machine gun bit by bit, but also to endure the malice from the Imperial military workers.

Yes, many young Taisho Ten machine guns went on strike without waiting for the Chinese to kill them.

Because of the explosion of grenades, some dead grass was ignited. Although the air waves formed by more grenade explosions would soon be extinguished and did not become a large fire scene like the third battalion. However, a large amount of burning residue was swept into the air and then fell down. The soldiers of both China and Japan were like marmots covered with soil.

These things fall on the human body are just a little dirty. Of course, humans struggling on the brink of life and death can ignore them, but Taisho's machine guns have stopped working for ten years.

How can the excellent weapons developed by the Imperial Japanese military industry work in such an environment? Being stuck has almost become the most common operation.

The Japanese infantry, who had a good life, could only use the 38 rifle to fight against the enemy in a tragic manner, besides shouting "Baga" in anger.

In other words, 30 minutes after the battle began, the surrounded Japanese army had no weapons to take action except the 38th hood.

Guo Shouzhi, who arrived on the front line, discovered this keenly and had requested Tang Dao to charge by phone, completely eating the Japanese army in front of him.

"Continue to maintain the battlefield situation and kill as many Japanese troops as possible. It is not the time to fight decisively. Without my orders, each battalion shall not launch a charge without authorization! Violators shall engage in military orders." Tang Dao refused on the other end of the phone.

Tang Dao's face was very serious, but his eyes showed ease. The Japanese army in the encirclement had lost all their heavy weapons and was basically doomed. If you want to eat them, you can do it at any time.

Looking back at the spy company commander Yang Xiaoshan who was with him, he was thinking, and Tang Dao smiled: "Xiaoshan, tell me why didn't I let Captain Guo and others kill the Japanese in one breath?"

Tang Dao has always had an inexplicable love for Yang Xiaoshan. Although he has never created many brilliant achievements, as a representative of the group of young officers who were quickly promoted with Gu Xishui and Qian Dazhu, his reputation in the army is far inferior to those two. Even the big guys in Zhengzhou City came to marry, few people mentioned this honest lieutenant company commander.

But Tang Dao liked him. He was promoted from a second lieutenant to a lieutenant and became the company commander of the spy company after only training in Li Jiujin's infantry company for more than a month.

The spy company is not a combat unit, but is under its jurisdiction for communications, medical staff, engineers, and service. It is considered a special service company. It will never be sent to the battlefield unless it is absolutely necessary.

It seems that the front-line combat troops were transferred to the second-line service troops, but almost as long as the blind person is not blind, he will know that the spy company is the closest unit under the regiment commander, so the importance of its company commander is naturally needless to say.

Perhaps only Tang Dao himself knew why he liked Yang Xiaoshan. It was not only Yang Xiaoshan who was the first to express kindness to him when he first came to this world, but Yang Xiaoshan looked very much like when he first entered the barracks.

Kind, enthusiastic and a firm heart.

Tang Dao firmly believed that Yang Xiaoshan would become an excellent commander, so he spared no effort to train him.

Seeing Tang Dao ask a question, Yang Xiaoshan quickly replied, "Sir, you may be worried about the Japanese artillery. If we decide the winner too early, the Japanese artillery over there will definitely be fire unscrupulously, and then our army will suffer great losses."

"Haha, this can be considered part of the reason, and there is something else!" Tang Dao smiled slightly.

"If there is any, that's why you consider that the Japanese air support will definitely arrive. The two armies are intertwined, which makes the Japanese bombers unable to start, and avoid the possible casualties caused by our army!" Yang Xiaoshan pointed to the sky.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tang Dao shook his head this time and said, "Xiaoshan, these two points you are considering are actually correct. The Japanese artillery still exists, and their air support will arrive sooner or later. They are all threatening enough to our headquarters, but to put it bluntly, these two points are just one point.

The reason why Battalion Commander Guo completely ignored these things is not that he could not think about it so much. He just didn't want to waste hard-won bullets. He was also confident that he would resolve the battle before the Japanese plane arrived. As for the Japanese infantry artillery and mountain artillery, although it could cause certain casualties, it was within the range he could bear.

Moreover, he is only one of the encirclements within the battlefield. He only needs to consider what his second battalion needs to do, but what you are in is the command center of my entire Four Lines regiment, and what you need to consider is the entire battlefield."

"The chief means that the group of Japanese troops outside the encirclement cannot scare them away, and use the stalemate situation to attract them firmly to the battlefield." Yang Xiaoshan suddenly woke up after receiving Tang Dao's reminder.

"Saki Ishiguro is a very clever person. It's not enough to rely solely on this. I guess he has already prepared all the troops to retreat. The hero cut off his arm is not only done by our Chinese army, but the Japanese are not ruthless when they do it.

In this Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese infantry brigade was completely wiped out no time or twice, but an infantry gang was extremely rare. Ishiguro Sadao did not want to be the second Takeuchi Yunshan." Seeing that Yang Xiaoshan reacted quickly enough, Tang Dao nodded and said.

"But, the two infantry brigades were left without hesitation, and he couldn't do it easily. We just hung him up first, let's not let him go, and he couldn't leave, and his head hurts for a while.

What this person is most afraid of is that his thoughts are complicated and he will think too much if he is not careful! That is the opportunity for our team to fight to the decisive battle." Tang Dao turned his eyes to the distance.

This is both a tactic, a game of life, and a game of psychology.

The main force of the 14th Division is still dozens of kilometers away, and enough time is enough for Tang Dao to let go and eat the confidence of nearly a thousand Japanese troops in the encirclement.

He was not busy making moves, but asked Ishiguro Sadato to think and make a decision by himself.

Tang Dao has done it once when he takes action and makes trouble.

Now, it is not impossible to wait for the Japanese to take action and find a good opportunity.
