"Captain, can we stop bragging? I believe you can make guns and bullets. I've seen it with my own eyes. Are you talking about this cannonball? I wonder! This cannonball is not the same thing as a bullet, right?" Although Lai Dongxing complained,

This time there was some risk, but I should be happy. After all, the capture was good, and only one soldier died of serious injuries.

Compared with the number of enemies killed and the supplies captured, this sacrifice is worth it! Well, the shells are just a bit useless...

"Don't you understand this? Other artillery shells are hard to make, but this mortar shell is much easier to make. As soon as we have the materials and equipment, we can try to make it ourselves! I am the professional in military industry.

Yes!" Hu Changyi laughed.

"How many of you still have the heart to talk here? The artillery has stopped and the Japanese are coming. Get ready to fight!" a battalion commander interjected.

"Yes, battalion commander! Everyone is here, ready to fight! Pay attention to the artillery!" Lai Dongxing ordered.

"Brigadier... Brigadier, the Baliwan position is reporting that the enemy's Qinshui reinforcements forward cavalry squadron has been completely wiped out!" The results of the battle on the battalion's side soon arrived in front of the brigade commander.

"Annihilated a squadron? Well done! How is the enemy situation over there?" the brigade commander asked.

"Brigadier Commander, the enemy's forward cavalry squadron arrived first... The current situation is that the Japanese infantry brigade is re-building fortifications and is still shelling the 1st Battalion's position! The 1st Battalion of the 687th Regiment is detouring westward, intending to attack from the Japanese

Launch an attack from the rear!" the signal soldier reported the reported enemy situation.

"That's it..."

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...boom, boom, boom..." As the brigade commander spoke, another round of artillery fire came on the position here.

"In this way, you tell them that after the first battalion of the 687th Regiment is in place, they will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese infantry position! Pay attention to the intensity and rhythm of the attack. The attack must be strong! It must be swift! But pay attention to the time, it will be completely dark.

Before that, we must withdraw from the battle!"

"Tell them that after this attack is over, their three battalions and one guerrilla unit will evacuate their positions one after another and retreat directly towards Changzhi! Tell them to leave us alone, we will hold on until eight o'clock in the evening!" said the brigade commander.

"Yes!" The signal soldier went to make a call.

"Old Xu, have we exceeded our mission this time?" Political Commissar Huang said.

"Yes! So far in this battle, the number of Japanese that have been annihilated has reached one thousand and two, and the number of casualties is incalculable. However, the casualties we have paid are not small. The Second Battalion of the 688th Regiment has lost more than 200 soldiers.

!" Brigadier Xu said.

"Yes, plus the battle losses of other departments, more than three hundred comrades may have died in this battle! It's time to evacuate!" Political Commissar Huang said.

"However, in total, our results this time are astonishing! Especially the seizures are good. There are 100 grenades alone, 18 82-force and 60-force guns, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and nearly 100 rifles.

Thousands of war horses, two hundred war horses... Tsk tsk, you've made a lot of money!" Brigadier Xu said.

"My guess is that these equipment were transported by the little Japs to the Japs in Houma to the west, but they gave us an advantage! The little Japs' transportation brigade did a very good job!" Political Commissar Huang said with a smile.

"Who says it's not the case! The little devil also imitated old Chiang Kai-shek and became a transport team, hahaha..." Brigadier Xu said.

"After this battle, I hope Commander Wei can capture Houma! We can't control them anymore. Our strength is still too weak, so we can only help them get here! This time, we have 105 Japanese troops to contain.

The regiment and the 15th Division have also been contained!" Political Commissar Huang said.

"It makes sense! Okay, the bombardment has stopped, it's time for the Japanese to attack again... let the reserve team come up with a company..."

The Battle of Dingdian is now divided into two battlefields. One is the Pine Ridge position in the north, guarded by two 2nd Battalions, and the brigade headquarters is also there; the other is the battle here at Bali Bay. The Chinese troops coming in a hurry

The island brigade is currently building a position under the cover of its own artillery, preparing to attack.

That's right, even though he didn't have an advantageous geographical location or even an advantage in military strength, Captain Nakajima still chose to take the initiative to attack. And judging from the position he chose to attack, his target was directly at the guerrilla position.

!

Why is he staring at the guerrillas? Ahem, the artillery platoon's shells flew over from here. The little devil has identified the guerrillas.

Chirp, chirp, chirp... boom, boom, boom... The little devil's 92 infantry cannon is a barrel gun, but it can shoot at a large angle, so the two infantry cannons aimed at the guerrillas' position and kept firing.

boom.

But I saw only one shell after another, either hitting the mountain ridge, hitting behind the mountain, or exploding on the hillside, only damaging the guerrilla positions.

"Quickly, put the sandbags here, dig some holes for cat ears, and dig some bulletproof trenches!" The sound of the cannon was loud, and Lai Dongxing's voice was also loud.

"You just saw how the Japanese's circular fortifications were built, right? Just dig like that! Have you forgotten all the things you learned during training? Continue to strengthen the position, don't worry about the shells, don't stop!"

This is Zhou Changfa's voice.

At this time, only a row of soldiers remained on the guerrilla position, braving artillery fire to repair and complete the trench fortifications.

The other two platoons have been dispersed to the camp positions on both sides to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

As for the artillery platoon led by Hu Changyi, they had already moved to another direction and were waiting to retaliate later.

That's right, the brigade commander's order has been passed on, and they are waiting for the three sides to launch a high-intensity attack. The main force of the attack is not Lao Zhang's first battalion, but the two battalions of Lao Cheng and Lao Zhai.

The function of the first battalion... ah, is to attract firepower.

The Japs are now more than 600 meters away from the First Battalion's position. Even if the First Battalion wants to rush in and counterattack, there is still a distance limit.

However, the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the 687th Regiment that detoured were close enough to the Japs' position, only more than 300 meters away. The 1st Battalion even appeared directly on the ridge behind the Japs, but the Japs didn't pay attention.

That's all.

Hu Changyi's artillery fire just now not only rescued Zhou Changfa and the others, but also made the little devils think that this was the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and even the headquarters was here. Therefore, they were preparing for a big fight without their lives.

.

"Death to you..." The little devil did not prepare for long before he launched the attack, because the sky was already very dark. The setting sun had already set, and only the remaining light reflected through the clouds, adding some light to the valley.

The little Japs are not willing to fight at night, especially in mountainous areas with complex terrain! So after some simple preparations, the attack begins! Four infantry squadrons, one squadron to attack, one to assist, and two

The squadron is ready. Let's go to the squadron for long-range fire suppression.

"Finally, it's his damn attack! Everyone is here. Wait until the Japs have reached half of the attack range and the front soldiers exchange fire with the guerrillas. Then attack immediately! Remember, use the maximum firepower to attack, and you must make the Japs feel pain!

"The battalion commander of the 687th Regiment ordered from behind the mountain ridge to the northwest of the Japs.

"The first battalion of the 688th Regiment will launch an attack later. Our mission is to insert ourselves into the flank of the Japanese attacking squadron and help the 1st Battalion of the 688th Regiment fight against the Japanese attacking troops!" The third battalion commander also gave instructions.
Chapter completed!
