Under the bombardment, the new regiment's position roared, and fire and dust flew up.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Fourth Squadron of the Third Infantry Battalion, under the command of Captain Xiangcun, began to advance rapidly.
"Hayaku! Hayaku! Forward quickly!"
Captain Xiangcun pulled out his command knife and shouted loudly, pointing at the new regiment's position. The target happened to be the minefield prepared by Li Yunlong. The two hundred meters in front of the position happened to be the best distance for them to launch a charge.
From Captain Xiangcun down, all the little Japs were in high spirits. In their eyes, this was a shining achievement in battle!
In the past, it was the so-called Central China Army. After the artillery bombardment, a wave of charges could defeat the opponent. Then the brigade pressed on, the position changed hands, and the rest was to pursue and expand the results.
Not to mention that the opposite side is Tubal Road, which has even more backward weapons and equipment.
At this time, the artillery squadron's artillery fire suppression was temporarily suspended. The fourth squadron alternately covered the leap forward with small teams, and had reached between 300 and 400 meters in front of the new regiment's position.
Captain Xiangcun was half-kneeling behind a small slope. Next to him were the squadron's grenade team and a heavy machine gun team. "Hayaku, each team's machine gun team is seizing a favorable position!"
Subsequently, the nine crooked handles belonging to the fourth squadron, the infantry artillery belonging to the third group behind them, the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and four 37mm rapid-fire cannons began to spit out fire.
On the new regiment's position, as soon as the shelling stopped, under the loud shouts from the observation post, the disgraced soldiers got up without hesitation and rushed to the trench.
"Bah, bah, bah", Li Yunlong ignored the dust scattered on the brim of his hat and quickly checked on the little devil.
From time to time, dense whistling of bullets could be heard in the air, puffs of smoke and dust were splashed from the edge of the trench, and sporadic artillery fire kept falling on the position.
The screams of the soldiers who were hit were heard from time to time in the position, and they were quickly carried to the rear. Everyone did not fight back immediately. The whole regiment was waiting for Li Yunlong's order.
In order to prevent his firepower from being exposed in advance and being hit by the kid's artillery fire again, Li Yunlong temporarily held back his anger and said, "You bastard kid, I'll give you a good look later!".
Li Yunlong cursed, but kept his eyes fixed on the little devil's movements.
Seeing that the two teams belonging to the Fourth Squadron had entered the concave area two hundred meters in front of the position, Li Yunlong turned on the trigger.
The two teams of the little devils, in the voice of the team leader "Give me the rabbit", the man No. 100 shouted "Locust board" at the same time, stood up and charged suddenly.
The little devil was so emotional that he ignored the abnormality at his feet and didn't even take two steps. The moment the heels of the dozen or so little devils were raised, violent explosions exploded under their feet.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Dust was flying, and broken limbs were flying everywhere. The little devil who was lucky enough to survive screamed repeatedly, "Ah! My legs!"
"Ahhh! Beat me to death..."
The remaining dozens of little Japs suddenly lost their momentum and shouted "It's a landmine!".
However, this group of little devils was indeed elite and did not stop moving forward. Although their pace slowed down, they still launched a charge under the shouts of the squad leader.
However, as the landmine exploded, Li Yunlong fired the first shot, "Fuck, kill these bastards!".
Suddenly, there was a roar from the position of the new regiment. Half of the first and second battalions' five light machine guns and hundreds of rifles opened fire at the same time, hitting the little Japanese with dense bullets.
Under the first wave of firepower, the two teams once again wiped out more than 20 Japs due to the obstruction of the minefield. At a distance of only a hundred meters, nearly half of the two teams on our own side had been killed and wounded. Captain Xiangmura at the rear was so angry that he flew into a rage.
There were more than fifty little Japs left, who were suppressed and stopped a hundred meters in front of the position.
"Shame! Phew!" Although Major Xiangmura was very angry, he did not lose his mind. While ordering the machine gun team and the grenade team to attack the exposed fire points of the new regiment, he mobilized the remaining two teams to bypass the minefield and start from The two sides continued to charge.
Unfortunately, Li Yunlong had already recovered. There were slowly rising mountain ridges on both sides of the minefield. Not only was it more difficult to climb up, but there was no cover.
Moreover, Li Yunlong had already been on guard against the grenade launchers of the Japs, "Huzi, tell Zhu Zhu to use the old cannon to knock out these grenade launchers and the heavy machine gun for me first! Quick!".
There was no need to measure the pillar after receiving the order. The distance was four to five hundred meters. With a single glance, Zhu Yuan was immediately determined to shoot. He slightly adjusted the muzzle and said, "Cannonball!"
After receiving the cannonball, Zhuzhu threw it into the muzzle without hesitation, switched his left hand to his right, and fired three rounds at a very rapid rate, "Boom! Boom! Boom!".
The distance was so close that when they heard the whistling sound of the incoming mortar shells, the Japs' grenade team had no time to dodge. One of the Japs shouted hoarsely, "Shoulder!".
The arrogant Captain Xiangmura also couldn't escape the fate of death, and was sent into the sky by a mortar shell!
Li Yunlong was very happy when he saw that the little devil's grenade misfired, "Haha, the pillar was shot well!".
After Zhu Zhu fired the cannon, he immediately picked up the mortar and left, quickly dodging the kid's counterattack.
The squadron leader was killed, and a lieutenant commander of the 4th Squadron temporarily took over command.
The new regiment fought bravely, and the little devils couldn't take any advantage. Recently, they only rushed 30 meters in front of the position.
In the rear, Major Fukuda, captain of the Third Battalion, looked at the Fourth Squadron, which did not even charge forward, with an ugly expression. He put down the telescope in his hand and said, "Baga! That idiot Xiangmura has disgraced my Third Battalion!".
However, Xiangmura was dead and the 4th Squadron also suffered one-third of its casualties. It was regarded as a simple probing attack. Major Fukuda immediately ordered, "That's enough! Send the order to have the 4th Squadron withdraw from the battle! The 5th Squadron and the 4th Squadron The Sixth Squadron is ready to attack!".
"The machine gun squadron and artillery squadron conduct comprehensive fire suppression!"
Here Major Fukuda's retreat order was conveyed in place, and the Fourth Squadron finally began to retreat. Although the tactical movements and fire cover were done well, the little Japanese still paid another casualty of Little 10 before completely withdrawing from the engagement range.
As the Japs retreated, the gunfire stopped for a while on the new group's position. The soldiers did not relax their vigilance. Everyone knew that this was just the first wave of the Japs' attack.
Everyone took the time to rescue the wounded and make repairs and strengthen the defense of the position.
Li Yunlong immediately issued an order, "Correspondent! Let the Sixth Company take over the position of the Second Company, gather the grenades for me at the front of the position, prepare everything for me, and be ready for hand-to-hand combat at any time!".
"Don't hide the Nine-Two style from me anymore, give me a hard beating!"
"Huzi, go tell Zhuzi that you are waiting for my order at any time, and let the treasure sent by Brother Xu be eaten!"
"It depends on whether God will reward you or not. The shooting range is three thousand meters. Hey, don't let us, Mr. Li, take the opportunity!"
Li Yunlong raised the telescope again. As the saying goes, what goes up leads to imitation. If the squadron leader of the Little Devils is so arrogant, then there is a high probability that their senior commanders will also come to take a closer look.
After all, we are Tubalu, right? If you want a gun, you won’t grab it; if you want a cannon, you won’t be able to use it.
This time Li Yunlong guessed correctly, and the sincere and elite Sakata Nobutetsu chose to move the headquarters forward.
