After ten minutes of artillery bombardment, Li Dequan fired the shells dragged from the General's Office with all his strength, and then adjusted the artillery fire to extend.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions, which had been waiting for a long time, launched an attack on the enemy's front line positions.
However, both sides know that whoever exposes his firepower first at night will be unlucky.
The muzzle flash is the best living target.
But in this case, the defensive side will always be unlucky first. If they don't shoot, they will have to let the other side rush forward.
Gunfire rang out, and machine guns immediately launched suppression.
No one was very familiar with night battles, so the attack lasted less than ten minutes before the first battalion retreated to sum up their experience and prepare to attack again.
Nam Chung-mi, who was at the entrance of the bunker, used a telescope to observe the situation on the other side.
Because the shelling just now ignited some dead grass and tree trunks on the opposite side, with the help of the firelight, the situation on the opposite side can be seen clearly.
The helmet was moving under the firelight, as if it was evacuating back.
"Weiguo, come and see if they are going to run away?" Nan Zhongmei turned her head and pointed outside and asked.
Zhou Weiguo walked up to her and took the telescope.
Indeed, the enemy on the opposite side is retreating.
Nan Zaolinzi, who was sitting nearby and loading a pile of bullets, thought this was not unusual.
Just now, eight field guns opened fire at the same time. Fujino must have known from the sound of gunfire that this was the firepower of an artillery battalion.
This kind of field artillery in a fully-equipped battalion usually only appears at the corps level. Fujino must have thought that reinforcements were coming, so he thought of evacuating to the opposite side and waiting for reinforcements to come from behind.
"This is a field artillery that only an army can ration. It's understandable that they want to go back."
If I want to leave now, I'm afraid it's too late.
Zhou Weiguo snorted slightly, "Just wait for him to leave, it will save us the trouble."
He raised his wrist and looked at the time. There were still five minutes left before the pontoon bridge would explode.
His more than a thousand people are just waiting to be dealt with by him.
After Fujino heard that the troops in the front-line positions had withdrawn and the offensive troops were out of contact, he ordered the troops to alternate cover.
He waited until all the second-line troops had withdrawn and was ready to leave the village.
However, before he could go out, a piece of news that was enough to make him collapse on the spot was delivered to him.
The floating bridge was destroyed by the bomb.
The pontoon bridge, which was nearly 30 meters apart, exploded in less than a minute. The explosion blew up the support point, and then the entire pontoon bridge was gone.
Now, there is only the calm but enough river water that can swallow people up.
"How could this happen?" Fujino was stunned for a while, then looked at the people present with his demented eyes.
He really didn't understand why this happened.
Aren't there people always taking a good look at the floating bridge? Why did this happen? Where did the enemy pass by?
The chief of staff could not answer this question, or in other words, he was thinking about another question now.
The pontoon bridge has been bombed, and the other side will definitely launch a fierce attack. What we have to do now is to hold on until dawn. In addition, let the engineers immediately set up the pontoon bridge and coordinate the troops to evacuate quickly.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, it is no longer necessary to discuss these matters now. We should immediately build a line of defense to block their attack."
As soon as he finished speaking, the not-so-terrifying sound of shelling started again.
Hearing this voice, Fujino swallowed his saliva and took a deep breath; "Immediately report the situation to the superiors and request aviation reinforcements."
Yueyang.
Gangcun was sleeping soundly, but the fierce knocking on the door made him reluctantly turn on the light, put on his clothes and opened the door.
It was the chief of staff's voice, and he didn't scold him.
"What's wrong? I stayed up most of the night."
Sleep, I also want to sleep, but now, even if I want to sleep, it is impossible.
The chief of staff handed him the telegram in his hand; "Fujino detachment is surrounded."
Weng...
Gangcun's sleepiness was shattered by this sentence.
He opened his eyes wide; "You...what did you say?"
The Fujino detachment is surrounded, how is this possible?
There were more than 2,000 people. Could it be that he had a pig brain? He let the enemy attack in a roundabout way, but he didn't know how to find a weak point to break through, and he was surrounded by others.
No matter how he thought about it, Gangcun didn't believe it.
"They crossed the river. The enemy blew up the pontoon bridge. Now there are more than 1,400 people blocked by the river. The enemy launched a counterattack. He requested aviation reinforcements."
When the chief of staff said this, he shot Fujino in his heart.
After learning that he had crossed the river, orders were given for him to evacuate quickly. After all, he was only a few kilometers away from the main force behind him, so he was going deep alone.
If he can defend on this side of the river, there will be no problem. The enemy will not be able to get through. All he has to do is wait for the large forces to come and attack together.
But he didn't expect that not only did he cross the river, but he also transferred most of his troops there.
"Deserves to be killed." Gangcun read the telegram and smashed it directly on the door frame.
It was only after three o'clock at this time, and there were still several hours before dawn.
Aviation forces, what was the use of mobilizing aviation forces by yourself in the past? Even if it was daytime, not only at night, but also during the day, when the battle lines of both sides were intertwined, they would not dare to mobilize easily.
It was so late at night, what were the aviation troops doing there? It was pitch black down there.
"Let them block the enemy's attack. In addition, let the rear troops quickly dispatch engineers to help build the pontoon bridge. They must be rescued as soon as possible."
This idiot, how could he be so stupid?
The special agent group occupies a front-line position, and naturally attacks faster than usual.
Xu Hu led the soldiers of the special agent company, moved the gasoline barrels and the explosive packets that had been prepared long ago, and while the first and second battalions attracted fire, they advanced 130 meters and began to set up the gasoline barrels.
The earth-shattering roar, after more than ten meters of smoke, was followed by the use of surrounding bunkers to intercept the wails coming from the Japanese army.
However, their shouts were overshadowed by the heartless explosives that could kill them if dropped.
Even Fujino, who was directing the interception from behind, felt the shock and trembling on the ground after the explosion of this weapon.
"What is the other party using?" Fujino felt his eardrums buzzing. He opened his mouth to spread the sound that penetrated his ears slightly and turned around to ask.
I do not know.
The chief of staff still doesn't understand what it is.
But one thing he understands is that it can't be stopped here.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, we should make a new decision."
Regarding the new decision, Fujino turned to look at him, and tentatively asked in disbelief, "What is the new decision you are referring to?"
