The national army troops on the front line fought very hard. Devil bombers bombed wantonly, and aerial bombs exploded everywhere.
The Devil's 9th Brigade and the national army fought fiercely all afternoon. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. The corpses of soldiers from both sides were piled on top of each other, piled up like a mountain.
The Devil's 9th Brigade suffered more than 3000 casualties, while the national army suffered more than 7000 casualties.
The national army suffered so many casualties, mainly due to the losses of the trains. Fortunately, Li Hong mobilized some anti-aircraft firepower to support the front line.
With the support of anti-aircraft weapons, the Devil's aircraft also suffered considerable losses.
The anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns of the front-line national army fired together, destroying and shooting down dozens of enemy planes, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Devils aviation unit.
The two sides fought fiercely until midnight before they ceased fighting. Looking around the battlefield, the flames and gunpowder smoke filled the air, corpses were everywhere, and the scorched earth was stained red with blood.
Although the national army paid more casualties than the devils, the 9th brigade of the devils was alone. Without reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before the enemy perished.
Once the fighting on the front line subsided, Li Zongyao, the theater commander who was supervising the battle on the front line, did not order the troops to continue the encirclement attack on the Japanese army.
Considering that the encirclement and annihilation troops had too many casualties in the fierce battle, and the frontline soldiers were very tired, the theater command decided to launch a general offensive tomorrow morning.
According to the common sense of military warfare, it is night, the enemy has no aircraft support, and the devils are exhausted physically and mentally as if fighting continuously, with heavy casualties.
If the night battle is launched now, and the enemy is not allowed to breathe, this is the commander's combat strategy.
However, Li Zongyao, the commander of the theater, surrounded the enemy and did not attack, which is really contrary to common sense.
The reason why Li Zongyao did not order the attack is nothing more than these two points. One is to allow the soldiers to recharge their batteries and prepare for the general offensive tomorrow morning. Another reason is that the general offensive needs to re-deploy artillery and mobilize troops. This requires deployment and preparation. time.
The 9th Brigade of the Devils was already a turtle in the urn, and the general attack was postponed until tomorrow, which was nothing more than giving the enemy a few more hours.
……
Since the security regiment repelled the Devil's 10th Wing, the 4th Division has not given any reinforcements.
Li Hong received a telegram from the war zone and learned the time of the general attack. He ordered all soldiers to cheer up and not let a fly fly past the blocking position.
Second, three o'clock in the morning.
Two or three o'clock in the morning, this time period is the time when the human body is most tired and needs to rest.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zongyao, commander of the war zone, dispatched a lot of fresh troops, one division of the Central Army, two divisions of the Guangxi Army, two brigades of the Northwest Army, and four artillery regiments, forming a general attack on the 1th Brigade of the Japanese Army. force.
Chapter 491 An Unprecedented Great Victory ([-])
, the fastest update to the latest chapter with a system to fight devils!
At this moment, 9 to [-] national army troops have entered their respective offensive lines, ready to launch a general attack on the Devil's [-]th Brigade at any time.
After the offensive units arrived at their combat positions, soon the various artillery regiments reported to the frontline headquarters.
Li Zongyao, commander of the theater, decisively issued an order to the artillery units to bombard the positions of the Japanese 9th Brigade.
"Clap clap clap!!!"
Several gunshots broke the surrounding silence.
Suddenly, several dazzling flares burst into the night.
The artillery regiments of the national army, seeing the dazzling signal flare, immediately launched an artillery attack on the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army.
"Tom, tom, tom!!!"
"Tom, tom, tom!!!"
Several artillery positions fired at the same time, and the sound of intensive shelling spread to more than ten kilometers away.
The artillerymen concentrated field artillery and mountain artillery of all calibers, and fired continuously.
The rain of shells swept across the sky with tail flames, extending towards the devil's position.
At this time, the little devil was drowsy, and he was very tired and forced himself on the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
Countless cannonballs fell on the devil's position, the explosion was full of flames, and the cannonballs exploded everywhere.
More than a hundred devil soldiers huddled under the foxholes and trenches, before they could react and even had a chance to scream, the enemy died under the artillery fire.
Some devil soldiers were resting in the fortifications. As soon as the shells hit, the bunkers collapsed one after another, burying the devils in the fortifications.
"Baga Road, artillery fire is coming, take cover, pay attention to cover!!!"
The devil soldiers on the ground yelled in horror.
The devil's troops panicked, and there were devil soldiers fleeing everywhere on the battlefield. Some enemies didn't even care to move their artillery and machine guns, looking for safe fortifications to avoid the artillery fire.
The artillerymen of the national army did not save ammunition at all, and the ammunition hands kept loading and firing.
Wave after wave of shells flew towards the devil's position, and the ground shook violently, making it difficult for the little devil to even stand still.
"Tom, tom, tom!!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
The sound of explosions came and went incessantly.
The artillery shells that came one after another exploded like a carpet, and the flames of the explosion illuminated the devil's position.
The fierce artillery fire lasted for more than ten minutes. The enemy's positions several kilometers around were covered with densely packed shell craters, and every inch of the land was plowed into scorched earth.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
The screams of the enemy were endless, and hundreds of devil soldiers were killed by shells.
Bloody corpses can be seen everywhere in the devil's position. Some devils have their heads blown into several parts, and some devil soldiers have their limbs separated. The death of the enemy is really horrible.
Multiple artillery regiments of the national army fired together, and the suppressed Japanese troops were unable to organize an effective counterattack.
There is a huge difference between the national army and the little devils in terms of air force, but in terms of the number of artillery equipment, the national army will not be much less than the devils.
Therefore, the artillery offensive of the national army is still quite powerful.
The artillery of the national army poured several tons of shells around the enemy's position, and the devil's position was instantly engulfed in flames.
The field fortifications on the devil's position, as well as various firepower positions, were basically destroyed by the shells, and the little devil had nowhere to hide, and even some little devils died under the artillery fire.
Because the artillery fire of the national army was too sudden, and the 9th Brigade had no bomber support, the enemy was completely suppressed, and there was no chance to struggle and resist.
