Dongshan Bridge, frontier observation post.

At this moment, several old Japanese soldiers, including Niujima Man, Okamoto Shinji, Kanda Masato and others were all on the hillside, holding telescopes to observe the battle situation. Seeing that the foot of Zudo Mountain was suddenly covered by artillery fire, the Noguchi Squadron, which had already attacked the foot of the mountain, was blown away and flesh and blood. The faces of several old Japanese soldiers immediately became gloomy.

"Chinese artillery." Kanda Masato said, "Bagayaru, is Chinese artillery

Okamoto Shinto said, "The Chinese artillery actually fired artillery on its own positions. Aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting your own people?"

Kada Masato said, "The infantry that man didn't have time to come out of the anti-cannon hole just now, why did he accidentally get injured?"

Okamoto Shinto said, "But now the Chinese infantry has come out, but the Chinese artillery is still bombarding, so what do you say?"

Kada Masato said, "Maybe the Chinese commander opposite is a lunatic. He doesn't care about the life or death of his own soldiers."

"No." Niujimaman waved his hand and suddenly inserted his words, "There is another possibility, that is, the Chinese army also knows how to coordinate infantry and artillery. Have you not noticed that when the Chinese infantry appeared, the Chinese artillery had already begun to extend forward and shoot? Now it seems that their infantry and artillery coordination is no worse than the Imperial Army."

"Nani, does the Chinese army actually know about infantry and artillery coordination?"

Okamoto Shinsun and Kanda Masato looked at each other, not believing it.

While speaking, the Chinese and Japanese armies had already launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle on the positions, and the Japanese army soon fell into a disadvantage.

"Command." Niushima Man suddenly raised his right hand and pressed forward with a weak pressure, and said coldly, "The artillery corps fired ten rapid shots according to the previously determined shooting elements!"

"Hayi," Kazuki Kazuki, the adjutant of Manta Kazuki, bowed heavily and ran to sing the flag.

"Brig Team Commander, Noguchi Squadron is still on the position, so you can't fire!" But Masato Kanda's face changed drastically. The artillery gang used the previous shooting to shoot Zhuyuan, wouldn't it be that Noguchi Squadron on the position also attacked? Noguchi Tsushi is his nephew. If he dies here, how can he explain to his sister and brother-in-law when he goes back?

"Kanda Sang, since it's a war, it's inevitable that people will die." Ushima Manta said coldly, "What's more, it's their honor for the samurai to sacrifice his life for the empire and to break the battlefield for His Majesty the Emperor!" After that, Ushima Manta patted Kanda Masato on the shoulder and said cruelly, "You should be happy that Noguchi Sang has such a destination."

"Hayi." Kanda Masato took his head heavily, but his eyes showed anger that was unconcealed.

After a while, rows of shells roared from the position of the 6th Field Cannon Regiment, and then swept through the sky with a sharp roar, roaring down towards the foot of Zutangshan.

"My bird!" Xu Shijiu suddenly staggered and almost pulled out the guardrail and fell from the top of the Hongjue Temple Tower.

Gu Wei, one-eyed dragon, Gao Shenxing and others were looking down at the mountain with a telescope next to him, and they were also full of disbelief. The Japanese army was still fighting bayonets on the positions. Although the Japanese army was at a disadvantage, there were still No. 40 or 50 Japanese soldiers? The Japanese artillery was bombarded without any difference?

However, it must be admitted that the 19th Brigade was hit by the gun without a gun. After the gunfire, there were probably not many people left in the 2nd Company.

Xu Shijiu put down his telescope and ordered Gao Shenxing to say, "Shenxing, you should immediately bring two supplementary platoons to the foot of the mountain and tell Lu Yong that from now on, no rush out of the trenches to counterattack, nor do you allow the Japanese to fight against the bayonet! Also, when the Japanese army was bombarded, do not withdraw all the troops to the air raid shelter. Leave a platoon on the position, and finally tell him that the person is in the position!"

"Yes." Gao Shen stood attentively, saluted, and turned around.

Dongshan Bridge, Japanese frontier observation post.

Ukushima Man put down his telescope and turned around to ask Kanda Masato and said, "Kanda Sang, are the follow-up troops ready?"

"Hayi." Kanda Masato reiterated his head and replied respectfully, "The commander of the brigade, the 4th Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Battalion belonging to the 3rd Infantry Battalion is ready for combat and can launch an attack on the Chinese army at any time."

"Yo Xi." Niujima Man took off his white gloves and said lightly, "Attack."

"Hayi." Kanda Masato took his head again, then turned around and shouted at his adjutant, "Order the 4th Infantry Squadron of Yamamoto's brigade to attack."

This time, Xiaojiben did not prepare for large-scale artillery fire before the infantry attack. After all, Xiaojiben's artillery shells were not very rich. In addition, the 6th Division was marching for a long distance, and the shells they carried were only two bases. The firepower attack just now consumed nearly half of the base of artillery shells.

"Let go, don't touch me."

The guard wanted to help the injured Lu Yong back to the air raid shelter, but Lu Yong pushed it away.

"Company Commander, you are injured, you have to bandage it quickly!" The guard was anxious and reached out to help Lu Yong again.

"It's okay, I'll get rid of some skin, I can't die." Lu Yong pushed away the guard again and shouted around, "There are all platoons, count the number of people immediately, and then speed up the collection of weapons and ammunition."

The casualties of each platoon were reported quickly.

"Report to the company commander, there are nine left in the 1st platoon to breathe."

"Report to the company commander, there are six people left in the second platoon, two of whom are seriously injured."

"Report to the company commander, there are eighteen people left in the third platoon, four of whom were seriously injured."

"Report to the company commander, there are thirteen people left in the fourth platoon, three of whom are seriously injured."

Lu Yong was tragic when he heard this. The infantry company with 150 people just now was left. In the blink of an eye, there were only 46 people left. Nine seriously injured people were removed, and the remaining 37 people were just formed into a platoon. This time, the 2nd company suffered a great loss. What's worse is that the six side fire points also caused Xiaoji Wuben to explode four, leaving only two.

"Company Commander, Xiaori Wuben is here again!" The guard whistle suddenly screamed.

Lu Yong instinctively wanted to stand up, but he fell back into the trench. He was overturned to the ground by the air waves generated by a shell explosion. Although he was only scratched by shrapnel, he was a little dizzy. He had not recovered until now, and he had probably fallen into a concussion.

"Brothers, prepare for the fight!" Lu Yong yelled hoarsely.

The veterans stood up and lay down on the shooting position, and they pulled the bolts and began to press bullets into the chamber. The machine gun hands also began to check the guns and the ammunition hands began to count the number of bullets and medicines. The nine seriously injured people also untied the grenades from their waists, unscrewed the cover and put them in their arms. They were ready to die. When the little Japanese man rushed up, they would pull the string without hesitation.

About a thousand meters away, Xiao Er Hundred-Yuan soldiers had already opened the loose scattered line, hugged their waists, and held the 38th cover with a bayonet, and rushed towards this side. Xiao Yi was obviously ruthless. He no longer had a small team or a small team to attack, but launched a squadron-scale group charge. In order to seize the great achievements of the first capture of Nanjing, Xiao Yi Er Hundred-Yuan was willing to spend all his money.

You should know that even on the battlefield of Songhu, Xiao Niu rarely launches squadron-scale group charges.

There were two infantry artillery behind the infantry. The total weight of the 92 infantry cannon of Kojimoto was only more than 200 kilograms, and it could be pushed within 500 meters to provide the infantry with close-range artillery support. Before the rocket launcher appeared, Kojimoto's Type 92 infantry cannon was definitely the flat-sighted direct-fire artillery closest to the line of fire.

As an infantry suppression artillery, the performance of the 92 infantry artillery is somewhat unsatisfactory.

However, if it is used to remove machine gun fire at a fixed point, the 1992 Infantry Cannon will perform well.

When there were still four hundred meters left from the national military position, Koji Wuben's two Type 92 infantry artillery no longer approached, but quickly built artillery positions on the spot, but did not fire. They had to wait until machine gun fire appeared on the opposite national military position and the Japanese infantry were suppressed, and they would provide necessary artillery fire support.

It’s not that Xiao Japanese did not want to fire the gun, but that it was difficult for the Japanese army to find that the machine gun position was not located before the National Army’s machine guns opened.

When there were two hundred meters left before the National Army's position, the heavy machine gun and grenade launcher team of Koji Wuben also stopped and began to build heavy machine guns and grenade launcher positions on the spot.

#############

Gao Shenxing had already taken two supplements to the frontier position at the foot of the mountain.

After the 74th Army was transferred to the Nanjing Garrison District, Feng Shengfa added more than 500 veterans to the 19th Brigade and expanded the 19th Brigade into an imposed brigade with more than 800 officers and soldiers. However, there are also differences between veterans and veterans. For example, veterans of the Gui Army, Guangdong Army or Sichuan Army cannot compare with veterans in training with those of the Central Army.

Also, some veterans are strong, while others are thinner.

Therefore, Xu Shijiu did not evenly divide the more than 800 veterans into five infantry companies, but instead organized three infantry companies with veterans from the Central Army as the base, plus a guard platoon. The remaining more than 300 veterans were organized into eight supplementary platoons. When the three infantry companies suffered a reduction in personnel, these supplementary platoons were added.

This is actually the same as the fact that Kojimoto temporarily set up a supplementary corps in the field division without forming a supplementary corps separately into combat units. This has two obvious benefits. One is to maximize the combat effectiveness of the combat troops, and the other is to allow veterans of the combat troops to lead the supplementary troops.

Not only the Japanese army, but also the National Army actually had similar situations. In addition to the combat troops of the two brigades and four regiments, the German-armed divisions such as the 87th Division, 88th Division, and 36th Division also had two supplementary regiments. These two supplementary regiments are not independent combat units. When there are casualties in the combat troops of the other four regiments, soldiers will be drawn from the supplementary regiment to supplement.

Seeing that Lu Yong was still a little dizzy, Gao Shenxing said with concern: "Company Commander Lu, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Lu Yongman waved his hand indifferently and said, "I fell down just now, it's okay."
