    Linxi County. Ximen position.

    "Reporting to the brigade commander, the 26th Regiment is ready for battle and waiting for your orders at any time!"

    "Yoshi, order Liu Sang to launch an attack immediately, and also order the brigade artillery team to provide artillery support!" Yujiro Kurino issued the order to attack.

    "Hai!"

    Following Major General Kurino¡¯s order, the forward Japanese artillery immediately began shelling.

    Although the Iron and Stone Troops are not pure Japanese soldiers, because the main officers are Japanese soldiers, and they also receive unified training from the Japanese army, the routines of these guys are the same as those of normal Japanese soldiers.

    ¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±

    The shelling was carried out as usual and instantly turned the defender's position into a sea of ??flames. The power of more than a dozen mountain cannons and dozens of mortars firing at the same time was very terrifying.

    Due to the previous battle, the troops of the third column had smashed the positions outside Linxi County, and the Japs were in a hurry, so they did not have time to repair the fortifications, so that most of the front positions had anti-gun holes.  Most of them collapsed, and only a few were usable.

    Facing the powerful Japanese artillery fire, many soldiers could only crawl in the trenches, endure the Japanese artillery fire, and fight against the Japanese artillery fire with their flesh and blood and steely will.

    But no one, from the captain Li Hua to the ordinary soldiers, was afraid.

    Everyone knows the significance of these people fighting here. Not to mention that they have completely annihilated the division headquarters of the 7th Division. The tens of thousands of Japanese puppet troops in the encirclement west of Linxi are enough to make everyone feel motivated to fight.

    You must know that there are tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops. Once all those bastards are wiped out, the entire situation in Rehe will fundamentally change, so they have to hold on even if there are bombs falling from the sky.

    The shelling lasted for about 10 minutes before stopping, causing a lot of casualties to the defenders. Even Li Hua's deputy Kang Wende was seriously injured.

    While the artillery was shelling, the Japanese infantry began to charge. When the shelling stopped, they had already rushed within 200 meters of the defenders' position.

    The infantry charge after the artillery bombardment is the most common tactic of the Japanese army, and it is also a classic tactic in the Japanese infantry drill. Therefore, every Japanese officer will use such tactics to launch an attack in battle.

    However, due to the urgent military situation, Yujiro Kurino did not let the puppet troops test the firepower of the Chinese defenders as he had done in the past. Instead, he launched an elite attack with as many as one regiment of troops.

    Seeing the little Japs coming up, a sharp whistle sounded instantly from the defenders' position.

    Since these puppet troops wore the standard uniforms of the Japanese army, and their weapons and equipment were no worse than those of ordinary Japanese soldiers, they were even better. They were completely different from ordinary puppet soldiers, so the frontline troops recognized them as Japanese soldiers.  Elites, not devils.

    Therefore, the defenders at the front did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately notified the soldiers in the anti-gun holes and the trenches behind them to return to their combat positions immediately and enter the state.

    The soldiers have become accustomed to this mode. When they heard the whistle, all the soldiers knew that it was the Japanese infantry coming up, and they hurriedly got up from the trenches to prepare for the battle. The whole process was neat and tidy.

    When these Japanese soldiers entered the attacking range of the defenders, the frontline troops quickly opened fire and launched a counterattack.

    The first thing to fire was not the rifle, but the machine gun that had been prepared for a long time.

    As a life-harvesting machine on the battlefield, machine guns are definitely the first choice for all commanders in the first round of fire strikes, so more than twenty light and heavy machine guns deployed at the front opened fire at the same time.

    "Da da da"

    Intense bullets were fired at the charging Japanese soldiers, forming a death blockade in front of the front trenches, knocking all the Japanese soldiers off their feet.

    As the main force of the Northeast Advance Army, the three columns are by no means inferior to those in the Guanzhong in terms of weapons and equipment. Since they are facing the Kwantung Army, the most elite of the Japs, Li Guoyao deliberately strengthened the firepower of all field troops.

    In addition, field troops are very mobile and flexible in combat, so they did not strengthen the artillery unit, but greatly increased the number of light and heavy machine guns in the unit.

    An infantry brigade used to have about 1,000 people, but now its strength has increased to 2,500 to 3,000. The number of light and heavy machine guns used to be less than 20, but now it has increased to more than 60, which is more than three times the number.

    Therefore, despite the fact that the troops on the Ximen position can only resist the Japanese artillery, there are more than 20 firepower points on this line and more than 40 light and heavy machine guns.

    These fourThe power of the crossfire composed of multiple tongues of flame is obvious.

    When the dense bullets were fired at the Japanese and puppet troops with the hatred of the soldiers, the huge lethality immediately interrupted the Japanese offensive that had just launched the charge. I saw that the surrounding comrades were constantly knocked down by the terrifying bullets fired from the opposite side, even if they were  The Japanese army, which boasts that it is armed with the spirit of Bushido, is also afraid, not to mention that these guys are not real Japanese soldiers.

    However, these Japs did live up to their title of the strongest puppet army. Although they suffered numerous casualties under the powerful firepower of the defenders, they still did not retreat. Under the command of an officer wearing a woolen coat of a puppet colonel, they fought desperately towards  Charge forward.

    Being blocked by fire and unable to advance, these Japanese soldiers actually used the bodies of the fallen as cover to shoot at each other.

    At the forward position, Li Hua and several combat staff members held their telescopes high and stared at the movement at the front.

    "Captain, these Japs are really not afraid of death. They don't even spare the bodies of their fallen comrades. They are really a bunch of beasts." The one who spoke was Hu Kun, Chief of Staff of the First Brigade.

    Li Hua immediately said: "No matter if he is a beast or not, any creature that dares to approach within 50 meters of our defense line will be beaten into a sieve."

    Just as he was talking, Hu Kun suddenly said: "Captain, you guys have made new moves, look at those guys behind the infantry!"

    Through the telescope, Li Hua and others immediately saw a dozen little devils crawling on the ground, seemingly tinkering with something in their hands.

    "No, it's a grenade. It's going to attack our firepower point!" Another combat staff member said hurriedly.

    Li Hua said calmly: "Don't worry, we will give them a hard blow right now."

    Then he turned around and said to the communications officer on the side: "Send a signal to the artillery battery, shell the grenadier soldiers, and ask them to move their positions immediately after the attack."

    As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several yellow flares rising into the sky.

    Seeing the signal flare, the hidden artillery position behind the defenders immediately removed the camouflage net, revealing more than a dozen mortars.

    ¡°Then the commander of the artillery battery immediately ordered all artillerymen to prepare immediately and conduct fire strikes on the little Japanese at the front.

    "Boom boom boom"

    After a while, dozens of mortar shells landed on the Japanese positions at the front. Suddenly, the grenade launchers of the Japanese soldiers were torn to pieces, and even the infantry on the front were blown away.

    When the battle at the west gate started, the Japanese troops on the east gate and the northern front also launched an attack on the three columns.

    "Compared with the attack on the west gate, the battles on the east gate and the northern front are equally fierce. The battle around the entire Linxi County is intensifying, and the battle has escalated in an all-round way.
