Although the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army suffered heavy losses following the Dragon Boat Festival, their equipment became increasingly better. From the previous Liao Shisan and old-fashioned bobbins, it gradually changed to Japanese-style equipment.
At this time, the total strength of the two troops reached two regiments, most of whom were fighting with Japanese weapons.
This includes the two artillery platoons that Wang Tong and Lu Jian had just formed at this time.
Each artillery platoon has four mortars and eight grenade launchers, so things are getting better.
In the past, artillerymen complained that there were no cannons and they could only watch when they went to the battlefield.
But now it's better. With mortars, grenade launchers, and enough artillery shells, we can aim at the Japs' positions and bomb them indiscriminately.
At this time, the infantry charged under the cover of artillery fire, and while the little Japanese were still crouching and ducking to avoid the artillery shells, the Chinese army had already charged forward.
The little Japanese scout braved the artillery fire to see this scene, and howled loudly: "The enemy is coming up, coming up,..."
Boom!
After a loud noise, the little devil's scout flew more than thirty meters away, half of his head gone.
The little devil was the first, and he couldn't hear what the scout was shouting. And secondly, even if they heard it, they didn't want to show up at this time, because under the violent bombardment of mortars and grenade launchers, they would rather put the enemy up to fight with bayonets than be killed.
But the Japanese officers didn't think so. Once a gap was opened in the position, the enemies would rush up continuously.
This is not a TV show. A gap has been opened in the enemy's position. The soldiers who rushed forward started a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy. But as a result, at this time, the commander not only refused to follow the gap to increase troops, but also used a telescope to look at the enemy. He admired it until all the soldiers who rushed forward were killed, and then he prepared for the next charge, and suffered heavy casualties again.
Such a commander is definitely out of his mind. The enemy's position has been opened. As long as the soldiers in front hold back and the soldiers behind continue to reinforce, then the position will most likely be broken.
So when the little Japanese officer noticed that the Chinese army was taking advantage of the artillery fire to charge, he loudly ordered the Japanese to shoot.
The little devil was very reluctant at this time, because firing under gunfire was just a gamble on luck. And if the opponent has one or several excellent gunners, then the machine gun positions will be blown up first.
So the Japs' machine gunners fired fearfully one by one.
But even so, a machine gun is a machine gun. Not only does it shoot fast, but the bullets are all shot in one sweep.
About five or six of the charging Northeastern and Sichuan troops were hit by the Japs' machine guns and fell into a pool of blood.
The Northeast Army and Sichuan Army behind them were advancing one after another and could not stop at this time. Because no matter you stop or go back, there is only a dead end.

Because you can imagine that if you charge halfway up the mountain, you may still have a way to survive if you continue to charge, but if you turn back at this time, your enemy will most likely beat you like a rabbit without restraint.
So at this time, the more you have to rush upward. As long as you withstand the enemy's bullets, you can rush to the enemy's position.
The soldiers roared and climbed the mountain quickly.
At the same time, machine gunners began to build machine gun positions halfway up the mountain to suppress the enemy's firepower.
A machine gunner of the Northeastern Army mounted his gun on a raised stone. The stone was as big as three or four rolling discs and could barely block his body.
He took this opportunity to shoot at the Japs' machine gun position. After a single sweep, the Japs' machine gunner and his deputy machine gunner were shot almost simultaneously and were killed on the spot.
One of the Japs' firepower points was knocked out. The Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army once again advanced more than thirty meters, and were already close to fifty meters away from the enemy.
The little Japanese officer was so angry that he personally held the light machine gun and fired down the mountain.
The offensive of the Northeastern Army and the Sichuan Army was once again blocked.
There were at least six machine guns in the position on the west side of the Little Devils forming crossfire. Although they were suppressed by artillery fire and strafed by machine gunners, the Little Devils still had three machine guns firing non-stop.
Wang Tong became angry when he saw this, and said to Lu Jian: "Our artillery fire should be more intense to completely silence the Japanese machine gun positions."
Lu Jian said worriedly: "If it's any harder, I'm afraid it will hurt one of our own people."
Wang Tong said angrily: "If we continue to fight like this, more people will die. Come with me if you are not afraid of death. Even if you are killed by artillery shells today, I will take this Xishan position."
This Wang Tong was a bandit before and was a brave warrior. Seeing that there was only fifty meters left before he could rush forward, he actually wanted to lead the charge himself.
But at this time, how could Lu Jian helplessly watch Wang Tong charge? He quickly stopped Wang Tong.
The two people had a dispute, but at this moment, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.
"What are you doing? The Japanese haven't been wiped out yet, but you started fighting first?"
Dragon Boat Festival scolded them, and the two separated. At this time, Lu Jian explained: "Commander Wang wanted to lead a charge, but I stopped him. Moreover, he asked the artillery to fire harder. I was afraid of hurting one of my own people."
But at this time, Wang Tong said: "I am not attacking Brigadier Lu, I am attacking the Japs. Commissioner, look, the Japs' machine guns are still firing. If this continues, more brothers will die. You Let me go up and cheer up the brothers, and the frequency of firing the shells must be fast, so as not to give the little devils a chance to breathe."
When Duanwu heard this, he laughed and said, "What else do I think it is? Look at me."
With that said, Duanwu took a Mauser 98k sniper rifle from Shangguan Zhibiao on the side.
This thing is German. And it's not just Li Zhongren, but also in the Dragon Boat Festival troops.
The chairman of the committee sent him two battalions of German equipment, and this 98k sniper rifle was among them.
Duan Wu held a gun and leaned against a tree as a cover.
The Dragon Boat Festival is not that big of a deal. If you stand in the open wilderness with a sniper rifle and shoot at the Japanese, you must be thinking that your life is too long.
Although he was about five hundred meters away from the Japs' position at this time, the Japs had heavy machine guns and artillery. No matter which one of them greeted Duanwu, it was enough for him to drink a pot.
Therefore, before shooting in the Dragon Boat Festival, he first found a bunker, used trees to cover his position, then took aim and pulled the trigger.
It took less than a second from aiming to shooting, but in the next second, a bullet was embedded in the head of a Japanese machine gunner.
But the bullet was shot from under the Japs helmet.
In order to have a better view, the Japanese machine gunner raised his helmet slightly, revealing the military cap between his eyebrows.
And the bullet of Dragon Boat Festival was shot from here.
So the Japanese machine gunner was shot and rolled down the inside of the trench, leaving the Japanese ammunition hand on the side stunned.
Because the Japanese machine gunner didn't have a single wound on his body, and the helmet on his head was intact.
But at this time, his colleague died, as if he had been possessed by a witchcraft.
At this moment, the little devil's feudal thoughts began to trouble him again. After a moment of astonishment, the devil's gunman howled like a pig, shouting: "Chinese people know magic! Chinese people know magic!... ..."
