    At around eight o¡¯clock in the evening on April 13, with a burst of noise outside the city, the Japanese heavy artillery regiment finally arrived at the front line.

    However, because it was too late, and the heavy artillery regiment did not know anything about the environment on the front line, they hurriedly found a position to set up camp and rested, and did not launch an attack immediately.

    Early the next morning, as soon as it got dark, the Japanese troops on the front line began to gather, just like they did a few days ago!

    At the same time, the commander of the heavy artillery regiment also led his people to look for more suitable artillery positions outside the city!

    Since it is very troublesome to move heavy artillery, and it often rains in Bengbu area, the soil is relatively moist, which is really a major test for heavy artillery weighing more than ten tons.

    By the time the heavy artillery regiment was setting up its position, the Japanese troops on the front line had already eaten and drank enough, and then began to attack!

    "Boom boom boom"

    The first thing to show off its power was still the Japanese artillery, but it was not the heavy artillery, but the Japanese ordinary artillery.

    Although it was calculated by Li Guoyao's troops, which directly caused heavy losses to the Japanese artillery on the Bengbu front line, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses. In the South Gate position alone, the Japanese army had more than a dozen mountain artillery and field artillery, and in the front line positions  There are also a large number of other artillery on the ground, such as Type 92 infantry cannon, mortars, etc., and the power of these artillery is still not small.

    There are two reasons for the Japanese army to fire artillery at this time. The first is the need to support the infantry. There is nothing to say about this.

    The second is to lure the defenders' artillery to take action. After the previous two days of fighting, the Japanese army already knew that the defenders were equipped with a large number of artillery units. They had no way to deal with these artillery units before, but it is different now.

    With the heavy artillery regiment here, as long as the Chinese artillery takes action, they can quickly detect the location of the Chinese army's artillery positions through methods such as acoustic detection and hyperbolic intersection, and then let the heavy artillery regiment take action, just like the temporary seventh division  Deal with them like that.

    ¡°If he didn¡¯t know that the Japanese heavy artillery regiment had arrived at the front line, of course Li Guoyao would not be able to help but take action, but since he knew that there was a heavy artillery regiment outside the city, Li Guoyao would not foolishly let the artillery regiment take action.

    "Boom boom boom"

    The Japanese artillery bombarded the defenders' forward positions for a full ten minutes, and then the infantry began to charge. A large number of infantry poured into the defenders' positions like a flood. During this period, the Type 92 infantry guns and mortars were still firing.  Artillery shells were fired continuously at the defenders' positions, hitting the defenders so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads.

    In fact, there were not many troops on the defensive position at this time. The entire three-kilometer-long defensive position on the southern front only had less than one company of troops. Only one person could be seen after being spread out for thirty meters. Therefore, the Japanese artillery bombardment was  The achievements achieved are very limited.

    There is no way, Li Guoyao and others are well aware of the impetuous nature of the Japs. Once the attack starts, the first round of artillery bombardment will definitely be very shocking. Gou Ri does this to scare the enemy, and secondly to cheer up his own troops.

    Therefore, if too many troops are deployed on the front line at this time, many of them may be killed in one round of artillery fire. Therefore, Li Guoyao simply asked the Dujiu Brigade to deploy a company on the front line, plus those permanent firepower points.  , the little Japanese infantry couldn't come up for a while, and they had to wait for the dog's bombardment to pass before letting the infantry enter the position.

    Soon, the Japanese infantry entered the position two hundred meters in front of the front line. At this time, the Japanese artillery, perhaps in order to avoid accidentally injuring their own people, stopped the bombardment. On the contrary, the grenade launchers became active one by one.  .

    As the Japanese army continued to advance, a shrill whistle sounded on the garrison position. Upon hearing the whistle, the infantrymen in the trenches behind knew that the Japs were coming, and immediately rushed into the trenches on their knees.

    "Click"

    The bullet is loaded, the muzzle is pointed at the little devil, the crosshair is locked, and the gun is ready to fire at any time!

    When the little devil entered a distance of 150 meters in front of the defenders' position, the defenders on the front line finally opened fire!

    As a red signal flare rose into the sky, all the guns and cannons on the defender's position opened fire, and for a while, the sounds of "dah-dah" and "bang-bang-bang" could be heard in the position.

    At this time, there were as many as one regiment of defenders on the front line, and there were hundreds of various bunkers. Small bunkers often had a light machine gun inside, while large bunkers had one light and heavy machine gun, or one heavy machine gun.  Machine Guns Two light machine guns.

    Such a large amount of automatic firepower often forms a net of death firepower. The Japanese soldiers rushing in front were knocked down one after another, causing heavy casualties!

    But the little devil has obviously alreadyBeing accustomed to such scenes, instead of retreating, he pushed forward even faster.

    130 meters120 meters100 meters80 meters

    When the Japanese army rushed eighty meters in front of the defenders' position, they found that it was like a natural chasm. No matter how crazy they attacked, they could not go any further. This made the Japanese front-line commanders anxious and angry.

    At this time, the Japanese army's consistent madness was revealed. Once the attack was blocked, the Japanese commanders would often seek a breakthrough at all costs.

    The Japanese captain on the front line was no exception. When he realized that procrastination like this would only result in heavy casualties for his troops and that it would be impossible to break into the defenders' front-line positions, he immediately asked the signal soldiers around him to send signals to the headquarters behind him.  The headquarters should pay more attention to them and immediately let the artillery bombard them.

    This is a completely lifeless strategy. After all, the distance between the two sides at this time is only a few tens of meters. With the current artillery technology, it is impossible to avoid accidental damage. You must know that even if the impact point of the artillery shell falls into the defender's position, the explosion will be  The scattered shrapnel can also affect the Japanese troops on the front line.

    But the Japanese commander couldn¡¯t care less about this. Only in this way could they have a chance to break into the defenders¡¯ positions.

    However, what is surprising is that the Japanese military headquarters rejected his request and ordered them to retreat immediately, while allowing artillery to cover them.

    The person in charge of the attack just now was the third brigade of the 35th Regiment, which was also the only relatively complete infantry brigade of the 35th Regiment. The commander was named Saburo Aoki, with the rank of Major.

    When Aoki's battalion attacked, Yoshizumi Ryosuke and a group of lieutenant generals and major generals were watching from behind. I can honestly say that Major Aoki's tactical command skills are still very superb. At least there are more than a dozen generals in the 9th Division.  He can definitely be ranked among the top five captains.

    It¡¯s just that their opponents were too cunning and far more difficult to deal with than expected, so the fierce offensive of the Aoki Brigade was neutralized by the defenders.

    Of course, they killed ten thousand enemies and suffered eight thousand losses. Although the Japanese Imperial Army suffered heavy losses, the Chinese defenders on the opposite side were also uncomfortable. Major Aoki on the front line may not have noticed, but Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others could see it.  It is clear that the troops on the opposite position also suffered heavy losses. Since the battle started, the stretcher team traveling between the front line positions and the trenches behind them has never stopped.

    Because of this, Yoshizumi Ryosuke does not want the Third Battalion to show off its courage for a moment and then be completely wiped out on the front line. The next battle will require heroic troops like the Third Battalion.

    After the Aoki Brigade withdrew, Yoshizumi Ryosuke ordered Major Aoki to be called to the headquarters, and then said: "Aoki, do you not understand that the headquarters has withdrawn you?"

    "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, there is no one who doesn't understand. It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. The orders of the headquarters are the guidelines for all actions of our third brigade!" Major Aoki replied loudly.

    "Yo Xi, very good!"

    Then Yoshizumi Ryosuke continued: "Wait a minute and I will give you two more complete infantry squadrons to complete your third battalion. Next, your third battalion will be the main attack. I will let the field heavy artillery wing provide you with  The 15 minutes of fire support will also allow an infantry group of the 7th Regiment to attack the flank position of that unit. I hope you can seize this opportunity!"

    "Hai, I will never let you down in my humble position!" Major Aoki said hurriedly.

    "Yo Xi, the wing deputy of your 35th Wing was injured the day before yesterday and may have to be transferred back to the country to be on reserve duty. If your third battalion can capture the position in front of you, the wing deputy will be yours!"  Yoshizumi Ryosuke said.

    "Hai!" Major Aoki said excitedly.
