Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the 51th Brigade of the 113th Division of the 337st Army fought back against the Japanese army and organized troops to launch a counterattack in an attempt to regain the defense line of Xiaobengbu Town.
"Da da da--"
"Suddenly—"
Intensive gunshots rang out around Xiaobengbu Town, and the little devils troops were fighting with the officers and soldiers of the 337th Brigade, fighting for every inch of land.
Ten minutes later, the artillerymen of the first battalion and the fourth battalion of the security regiment quickly established mortar positions according to Li Hong's order.
To deal with a brigade in the Japanese military area, you don't need any mountain artillery or field artillery at all. The little devils with mortars alone can't parry.
600 meters away from Xiaobengbu Town, the artillery position of the security regiment.
"Artillery preparations, ten guns and five rounds free fire!"
"Artillery preparations, ten guns and five rounds free fire!"
The artillerymen of the two battalions quickly adjusted their shooting angles and aimed at the devil's line of defense in Little Bengbu Town in front of the target.
"Get ready, let go!"
Following the order of the artillery platoon leader, twenty 90mm mortars of the two battalions fired together.
"Tom, tom, tom!"
A row of mortars fired, and the shells flew out of the barrels one after another, smashing hard at the little devils in Little Bengbu Town.
The security team came very suddenly, and the devil brigade attacking Xiaobengbu Town had no information at all, so they could only be caught off guard.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The densely flying artillery shells exploded continuously, and the little devils on the defense line were violently suppressed by the artillery fire.
"Bombardment, bombardment, cover up, cover up!!!"
"Baga, Lu, where did the shells come from!!!"
The devil soldiers huddled under the bunker to avoid the shells, cursing angrily.
A major devil officer commanding on the front line got up from the bunker in a panic, and then hurried to report to the brigade headquarters.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, Captain, our defense line was heavily shelled by the Chinese army, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties..."
"idiot!"
The captain of the devil brigade let out a rage, then picked up the binoculars and walked out of the headquarters fortifications, looking in the direction of the shells.
"Baga, the shells are fired from our sides. Where did the artillery of the Chinese army come from?"
Captain Guizi didn't expect the Chinese army to appear behind him at all, and he cursed the damn intelligence organization angrily.
"Order the imperial warriors to stand firm, and the artillery quickly launch a counterattack!"
After the captain of the devil team finished speaking to Shao Zuo Guizi, he ordered the communication soldiers, "Communication soldiers, immediately send a report to the regimental commander for help. Our unit was violently shelled by the Chinese army in Xiaobengbu Town on the north bank of the Huaihe River. reinforce……"
"Roms!"
The devil's communicator nodded emphatically, and hurriedly called for help.
After a while, the artillery of the two battalions of the security regiment stopped shelling.
"Security regiment, brothers from the first battalion, go!"
"Brothers of the Fourth Battalion, go!"
As soon as the shelling was over, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion and the fourth battalion quickly attacked from the left and right wings, forming a siege of the devils in the small Bengbu town.
Li Hong never fights with the little devils for the purpose of defeating them. His fighting style is to erase the enemy's designation and completely wipe out the devils' troops!
The first battalion and the fourth battalion were all equipped with German weapons and American weapons. The soldiers bravely rushed to the devil's position, fighting fiercely, and the little devils on the defense line retreated steadily, powerless to parry.
Leaving aside the gap in weapons and equipment between the little devils and the security regiment, the key little devils suffered a heavy meal of shells, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. If the elite troops of the security regiment beat these disabled little devils, it would be completely cruel.
……
On the front line of Xiaobengbu Town, the headquarters of the 51th Brigade of the 113th Division of the 337st Army.
In order to regain the defense line of Xiaobengbu Town, Zhou Yinghua, the commander of the 113th Division, personally sat in the headquarters and commanded the officers and soldiers of the 337th Brigade to fight.
Zhou Yinghua stood at the observation port of the headquarters, holding a telescope to observe the frontline positions of the Japanese army.
More than half of the bunker fortifications of the Japanese defense line were destroyed by shells, devil corpses could be seen everywhere on the position, and the left and right wings of the devil position were besieged by friendly forces.
Zhou Yinghua didn't receive any reinforcement notice from the troops, and he didn't know which troops were attacking the devil's position.
"Brigade Commander Cao, have you found out, which part of the Central Army is besieging the devils?"
Soon, Xiao Yueguang, the commander of the 337th brigade, got a telegram from the communication soldier.
"Reporting division seat, the unit that launched the siege to the Japanese defense line of Xiaobengbu Town is the Central Army Independent Security Regiment."
"Security team?"
After listening to the report, Zhou Yinghua was slightly stunned, thought quickly for a few seconds, and quickly asked, "Is this security team just transferred from the World War II zone?"
Xiao Yueguang replied, "Yes, the division seat is Li Hong's unit that defeated the Japanese ace 21st Brigade not long ago."
Zhou Yinghua had heard about this security regiment for a long time. It was the only independent security regiment in the Central Army, and it was not one of the most elite combat regiments in World War II.
"This security regiment, it seems, is not as exaggerated as it was in the military newspaper. The fighting power of Li Hong's troops is stronger than I imagined!"
Xiao Yueguang, commander of the 337th brigade, was a little confused as to why Shangfeng would transfer such an elite security team to the Xuzhou battlefield.
The troops transferred to the Xuzhou battlefield are mostly second- and third-rate miscellaneous troops, and there are not many elite combat troops. The security regiment, as the elite of the direct line, must be transferred to the Xuzhou area by the higher authorities.
"Master, I can't figure it out. How could such an elite unit as the security regiment be called up as a miscellaneous unit to fight this kind of war of attrition?"
Zhou Yinghua said with a serious face, "Xiao Yueguang, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. How Shangfeng will do it is up to the higher authorities. As a soldier, you should put your mind on fighting!"
"Yes, Master!"
Holding up the binoculars, Zhou Yinghua stared at the security regiment troops fighting on the front line, and couldn't help but marvel.
"This security team is indeed a group of tigers and wolves. After fighting for a while, the soldiers of the security team broke through the two lines of defense of the little devil. I am afraid that there is no such powerful army in the entire Fifth War Zone!"
Xiao Yueguang also praised a few words from the side, and then said, "Master, when the battle is over, I think I can make friends with this Li Hong."
Zhou Yinghua nodded, he also had the same intention.
