Beat the devil with a system

Page 518

Li Hong was concerned about the overall situation of the Battle of Taierzhuang, and had always been worried that there would be mistakes in the defensive positions in the north of the city, so he decided to come to the front to command the battle in person.

In a corner of Shitou Village, a folk house with solid stone walls Zheng

Sandbags are used to pile up several parapets around the houses, which are very defensive. If it is not hit by aerial bombs, ordinary artillery shells will definitely not be able to destroy the fortifications.

This is the brigade headquarters of the 18th Brigade. As soon as Li Hong arrived at the headquarters, he called the battalion commanders of the three battalions over.

"Group seat, group seat, group seat!!!"

Ma Shangfeng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, Meng Dazhu, the commander of the third battalion, and Li Wang, the commander of the fourth battalion, ran into the headquarters one after another.

After several battalion commanders came, they briefly reported the casualties of each battalion to Li Hong.

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Li Hong frowned when he learned that the battalions suffered casualties.

The combined casualties of several battalions have reached more than 300 people, while the casualties of the 18th Brigade are even greater, with more than 1300 people left in the whole brigade.

Zhao Dashan walked up to Li Hong, and said respectfully: "Consultant Li, I will now give you the command of the 18th Brigade. Will you take command?"

At the critical moment, Li Hong didn't shirk. He nodded and spread out a map to study the surrounding terrain for a while.

"Pass my order, all troops stop firing first, and all troops outside the village withdraw to the village!"

The messengers of each unit immediately went to convey Li Hong's order. Soon, the defenders stopped shooting, and all the peripheral defenders withdrew to the village.

In the night environment, the firepower fortification with dense firing points is simply a living target for the enemy's artillery.

The security regiment has no long-range artillery, and there is nothing they can do about the devil's artillery positions in the distance. The defenders can only stop firing to reduce being hit by enemy artillery.

The artillery of the 18th Brigade is mainly medium-caliber artillery, and the only mountain artillery company also suffered more than half of the casualties. Moreover, the range of the medium-caliber mountain artillery can't hit the Devils' artillery positions so far.

If there is not enough firepower on the battlefield, you can only be beaten passively. The strength is in front of you. You must admit that the enemy has strong firepower.

As soon as the firepower of the security regiment and the officers and soldiers of the 18th Brigade stopped, sure enough, the Devil artillery in the distance stopped their shelling not long after.

After the enemy's artillery fire stopped, Li Hong then gave an order to the third battalion commander Meng Dazhu.

"Take your battalion immediately and turn around to the flank of the devil's attacking army. When the devil's attacking army launches an attack, your battalion will attack the enemy from the side!"

"Also, when the battle starts, the Devil's artillery unit will definitely continue shelling. Your battalion dispatched an artillery platoon to quietly move to the nearby Stone Mountain to establish an artillery position, and kill the devil's artillery position in the distance!"

"Understood, Tuanzao!"

Meng Dazhu saluted, turned and left the headquarters.

Not long after, Meng Dazhu led his troops to leave Stone Village in the dark, and bypassed the flank of the enemy's attacking troops.

The fighting between the two sides stopped for a while, and the frontline combat commander of the Devils assembled more than 1000 soldiers and re-established mortar positions, and the enemy was ready to attack again.

"Artillery attack!!!"

At the order of the devil commander, the devil's offensive troops launched shelling.

The Devil Artillery didn't fire any more flares, and fired directly to suppress it.

"Tom tom tom!!!"

"Tom tom tom!!!"

The sound of violent shelling broke the surrounding silence.

Dozens of mortars fired together, and the dense shells bombarded the outer positions of Stone Village one after another.

The artillery fire in the outer positions was raging, and many firepower fortifications on the position were destroyed, and the stones were smashed to pieces by the shells.

The devil's artillery fire was fierce. If Li Hong hadn't withdrawn the troops in advance, otherwise, with so many shells falling, many soldiers would have been killed or injured in the outer positions.

The Devil's mortar poured out a burst of artillery fire. In order to avoid being counterattacked by the defenders, the artillerymen immediately moved their mortars and ammunition, and quickly moved their positions.

The devil officers of each squadron immediately ordered their subordinates to attack as soon as the artillery fire stopped.

"The infantry charged forward and captured the front position, duck and chicken give it!!!"

"Infantry charge forward, capture the front position, duck and chicken give it!!!"

The devils of the two squadrons acted as the vanguard. The enemy held weapons and spread out in a skirmish line, and charged towards the outer positions separately.

Chapter 469 Retreating from a Strong Enemy ([-])

Li Hong stood outside the headquarters, holding up a binoculars to observe the devil's attacking troops.

The devils only sent such a small amount of troops this time, not because they were afraid of being beaten, but because the enemy was using an offensive tactic to test firepower.

The devil commander is very smart, the devil knows that the surrounding terrain of Stone Village is not suitable for large forces to attack.

Moreover, the firepower of the defenders was very fierce. If the artillery fire did not cause casualties to the defenders, and a large force was rashly sent to charge, it would be a living target for death.

Send out a group of troops to attack, even if they are hit by fierce firepower, the devil's troops will not be shot and killed by the defenders, so that the enemy will not suffer too many casualties.

Li Hong saw through the tactic of Lie Rao at a glance, and then, after a second thought, he quickly thought of a tactic to deal with the enemy Rao.

"Soldier, tell the combat troops in front to hide, let the enemy's attacking troops enter the outer positions, wait for the large troops behind the devils to attack together, and then all the troops will open fire on the enemy!"

"Yes!!!"

Several messengers took the order and hurriedly left the headquarters to deliver Li Hong's order.

The hundreds of attacking devils in front quickly moved forward several hundred meters.

Seeing that the defenders did not open fire, the enemy soldiers did not relax their vigilance and rushed forward, but slowed down their attack speed.

The devil soldiers at the front moved forward cautiously through the cover. While moving, the devil soldiers raised their guns and fired at the outer positions of Stone Village.

"Clap clap clap!!!"

"Da da da!!!"

Jap rifles and machine guns fired together.

The densely packed bullets flew on the fortifications all over the position, and the stones hit by the stray bullets were torn apart, splashing sparks.

The devil soldiers in front fired continuously for a few minutes, but there were still no soldiers in the opposite defensive position to counterattack, so the devil's vanguard rushed forward and accelerated their charge.

"Imperial soldiers, charge!!!"

After a while, the two squadrons of devils swarmed up and leveled the perimeter.

The devil's vanguard did not expect to take the outer positions so smoothly. It seems that the Chinese defenders were frightened by the attack, and they voluntarily withdrew and gave up their positions.
