Beat the devil with a system

Page 515

Originally, Li Hong had estimated the combat effectiveness of the 4th Division, but he still underestimated the tactics and combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division.

Of the three devil divisions outside Taierzhuang, what Li Hong was most worried about was the "trash" fourth division.

He has never fought against this army. The 4th Division has used many unreasonable tactics on the battlefield, and the opponent's tactics are really unpredictable.

According to the attack speed and firepower of the 4th Division. .It won't be long before the second line of defense of the 18th brigade will be broken through by the devils.

Watching the officers and soldiers of the 18th Brigade and the devils fighting at close range, Li Hong was helpless. Under such a battlefield environment, the artillery of the security regiment could not provide effective artillery support at all.

The 18th Brigade will definitely not be able to stop the 4th Brigade's attack. Once all the outer positions in the north of the city are lost, it will directly threaten the defense line in Taierzhuang City.

The 2nd Army does not have too many troops, and the total number is less than 3. Now the 2nd Army simply cannot spare troops to reinforce the 18th Brigade.

The closest to the 18th brigade's position is the security team in the city. In this critical situation, only the security team can rescue and hold the position.

Li Hong's mind was running fast, and he thought for a moment.

The top priority is to increase troops to rescue the 18th Brigade, otherwise, let the 4th Division of the Devils fight outside Taierzhuang in one go. .Taierzhuang was hard to defend.

Thinking that the battle situation was critical, Li Hong immediately returned to the regiment headquarters.

"Communication Corps, immediately connect to the Cavalry Battalion, the Third Battalion and the Fourth Battalion, and order them to quickly reinforce the 18th Brigade outside the North City!"

Li Hong looked a little anxious, and then added: "Strictly order the battalion commanders of the several battalions, regardless of any cost, to guard the last line of defense outside the north of the city, and never let the little devil step past the line of defense!"

"Yes, group seat!"

The communications soldier picked up the phone and hurriedly conveyed Li Hong's combat order just now.

15 minutes passed.

Not long after, all the officers and soldiers of the three battalions of the security regiment were assembled.

The three battalions received Li Hong's order without any delay, and all the troops rushed to the north of the city at the fastest speed.

After Li Hong gave the order to the reinforcements, he sat alone in the conference room feeling uneasy, rubbing his head that was suddenly sore with both hands.

Once these battalions were transferred out, the city was empty of troops, and the situation of the security regiment was also very bad.

Next, how should the security regiment, which is short of troops, fight against the other two devil divisions? This is another headache...

Chapter 466 The Battle at the Frontier ([-])

The officers and soldiers of the 3 battalions of the security regiment rushed to the 18th brigade outside the north city to help them

When several battalions of the security regiment rushed to the position a few kilometers away, the little devils' offensive troops had already broken through the second line of defense of the 18th brigade.

At this time, the little devil rushed to the position and was going around the position, killing the surviving wounded soldiers of the 18th Brigade.

It didn't take long for the second line of defense positions to fall into the enemy's hands.

The Devil's 8th Wing quickly established defenses and firepower points a few kilometers around the position, preparing to gather forces again to take down the last defensive position of the 18th Brigade in one fell swoop.

From the very beginning of the attack, the little devil didn't have a single sloppy attack, and each attack became more fierce, and he rushed all at once.

The officers and soldiers of the 18th Brigade are not good at night combat, and their firepower is far from that of the 8th Wing. They encountered such a powerful enemy.There is no power to parry at all.

The two sides fought a lot, and the 8th Wing of the Devils successfully took down the two defensive fronts of the 500th Brigade at the cost of nearly 18 casualties.

The casualties of officers and soldiers of the 18th Brigade were even more tragic. The two regiments guarding the position were disabled by the enemy. More than 2000 people were killed or injured in this battle. Two regiment commanders and dozens of key officers were also killed.

Facing the onslaught of the 8th Wing of the Japanese Army, the 18th Brigade lost two lines of defense in a row. As the brigade commander, Zhao Dashan lost his inch in anger.

After Zhao Dashan, the brigade commander of the 18th brigade, calmed down, his mind turned quickly, thinking about how to defend the position against the enemy.

In the current situation, even if the 18th brigade organizes troops. .It is also impossible to regain the lost position.

Then again, even if the soldiers of the 18th Brigade bravely regained their position, how could they hold their position without a new force.

Zhao Dashan, commander of the 18th brigade, thought over and over again. In order to defend the last line of defense, he had to shrink his troops to consolidate the firepower and defense of the position.

Not only that, Zhao Dashan, the brigade commander of the 18th Brigade, led his own guard company to fight in the front-line positions, in order to inspire the fighting spirit and morale of the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade.

"Brothers, the last line of defense must not be lost, even if you take your head, you have to go up. If anyone dares to escape, I will dig the grave of the eighteenth generation of his family!!!"

"We will live and die together with the brigade and stick to the position. The Japanese army wants to occupy the position unless they step over our corpses!!!"

The remaining more than 1000 officers and soldiers. .Encouraged by brigade commander Zhao Dashan, the will to fight was immediately overwhelming, and none of the soldiers gave up.

The last defensive position of the 18th Brigade was built around a village called Shitou Village. The total length of the defense line was about one kilometer.

The reason why Stone Village is called Stone Village is that the wall structure of the houses in this village is basically piled with stones or pebbles, and the defenders can use these solid houses as defensive shelters.

Under the order of the brigade commander, the officers and soldiers of the 18th Brigade moved out all the ammunition in stock. Every soldier concentrated and prepared enough ammunition, and stood firm in their respective combat positions with resentment in their hearts.

Some soldiers were strapped with detonators and explosives, ready to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders, and live and die with the positions!

The commanders of the 8th Wing of the Devils also knew that the last defensive position of the 18th Brigade was the most difficult to break through, so the little devils mobilized multiple mortars and heavy machine guns.

As soon as the devils established their defensive positions and firepower positions, they quickly launched shelling.

"Tom tom tom!!!"

Dozens of mortars fired in salvo, the sound of shelling continued, shells flew out of the barrels quickly, and the sky was filled with flames.A few seconds later, a dense rain of shells poured towards Xiaoshitou Village.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The falling shells exploded all over the village, and shrapnel and debris from the shells splashed everywhere.

"Be careful of artillery fire, pay attention to concealment!!!"

The small stone defenders hide in the fortifications, avoiding the raging artillery fire and shrapnel around them.

Because most of the fortifications on the position are piled up with stones and earth, the defenses are so strong that they are impenetrable, and it is difficult for enemy mortar shells to destroy the defenders' fortifications.

The defenders hid in the fortifications. The strong bunker fortifications blocked most of the power of the shells, and the defenders did not cause much casualties.

The ghost soldiers fired more than a hundred shells over, and the casualties of the defenders were less than a hundred, and the basic wounded were some minor splash injuries.

While the little devil artillery used anti-personnel bombs to suppress the defenders, at the same time, some devil artillery began to use incendiary bombs.

If the bunker fortifications of the opponent's defenders are too strong.Incendiary bombs are indeed more lethal than ordinary bombs.

"Tom tom tom!!!"

The sound of shelling from the Devil's artillery position in the distance sounded again.

Rows of incendiary bombs exploded around the village, and the sound of explosions continued one after another.
