Bright Sword: We Li Yunlong are fighting elites

Chapter 193 Boldness!

"Yangxi!"

Hirata Kenkichi looked at Beiling, who was caught in the fire, with a rare smile on his face.

"The aircraft of Army Aviation did not disappoint me!"

In order to capture Beiling as soon as possible, Hirata Kenkichi sent a telegram to Lu Hang early on for help.

The head of the division still has a lot of face, and the devil Lu Hang didn't dare to neglect, and the plane took off at dawn.

So early in the morning, the devil's plane arrived and began to bomb Beiling and Ping'an County.

Hirata Kenkichi said excitedly: "Order the artillery wing, concentrate the artillery fire, and continue to bomb the enemy positions in Beiling."

"I don't believe it, I can't kill these hateful bastards."

"After the artillery preparations are over, the infantry immediately launches an attack. Be sure to break through the Northridge defense line for me."

"Hay!"

Several devil officers present responded in unison.

Following Hirata Kenkichi's order, there was another booming sound from the little devil's artillery position.

With a piercing whistling sound, the shells flew quickly to the North Ridge and exploded.

All of a sudden, the sky was under fire, and the entire North Ridge position was once again under fire.

Cheng Xiazi hurriedly returned to the position, at this time the deputy head quickly said: "Head, the little devil is about to attack again."

"The firepower is getting stronger and stronger, and even the planes are dispatched. It seems that the little devil is really impatient this time."

"Humph~!"

Cheng Xiazi snorted coldly, and said, "I'm still afraid that they won't succeed, so I'll pass on an order that all troops will strictly guard their positions. If anyone dares to lose their positions, I won't spare him."

The deputy head frowned and said, "Head, is it really okay for us to confront the little devil so head-on?"

"After all, devils have an absolute advantage in firepower!"

According to Balu's previous fighting style, he would never fight a little devil like this.

It's not a joke to confront a division's little devil head-on.

Cheng Xiazi glanced at him, and said with a serious face: "We have to trust Li Yunlong, this kid is not easy now!"

"Since he said he can win, he will definitely win!"

"What's more, the superiors have already made up their minds. Now that all the troops are gathering towards the safe area, this battle is inevitable."

"I remember the big leader said that an army that cannot fight tough battles is a waste."

"Our [-]nd Regiment is much better than the other regiments in terms of qualifications, but now they are left behind by the Xinyi Regiment. It's really shameful."

"Now is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to prove us, so many eyes are staring at us! If we can't win this battle, it will be really shameful."

The deputy head said helplessly: "But..."

"No buts!"

Cheng Xiazi interrupted him, and continued, "I know what you're worried about?"

"Aren't you just afraid that we will be wiped out?"

The deputy head said: "It's not easy for our [-]nd Regiment to develop to where it is today. It took a lot of effort to gain the strength it has now. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if it was completely lost in this battle?"

Cheng Xiazi said with a serious face: "You worry too much! Li Yunlong has promised us that he can support us with another batch of ammunition, and asked us to let go of our hands and feet and fight hard."

"This kid is a local tyrant now. He has already spoken. We have nothing to worry about. The ammunition is exhausted. If he can supplement us, what are we afraid of?"

"If we can really kill the 37th Division this time, even if our [-]nd Regiment is really exhausted, it will be worth it."

The deputy head nodded and said: "I understand! To be honest, I am of course looking forward to it. This time I can kill the [-]th Division, but it is really too difficult."

Cheng Xiazi glanced in the direction of Beiling and said, "We should trust Li Yunlong and change our trust in the superiors."

"These are not what we should consider. What we should consider is how to defend Northridge."

"Li Yunlong said, let us hold on for another half day, and their troops will take over from us in the afternoon."

"So there is only half a day, no matter how powerful the little devil is, we have to grit our teeth and get through this half day."

After the little devil's violent bombing, he immediately launched a full-scale attack.

A large number of little devils walked out of the position, and approached the Eight Routes position with gleaming bayonets.

The soldiers of the [-]nd Regiment are also ready for battle at this moment.

Cheng Xiazi's order has been conveyed to all positions, and the soldiers are all gearing up, ready to fight the little devil.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the soldiers rushed to the position impatiently.

The position at this moment has been destroyed by the devil's artillery fire, and some fortifications have been destroyed.

A commander shouted: "Recover the position and prepare for battle."

The soldiers were also experienced, they searched for favorable terrain one after another, lay down on the ground, and secretly observed the little devil who was gradually approaching.

Although the little devil's artillery fire was fierce, the terrain on the mountain was complicated. In addition, the soldiers dug a large number of artillery holes on the reverse slope.

The soldiers hid in these bomb defense holes, and the artillery fire of the little devils generally could not cause them too many casualties.

The little devil's offensive was also quite fierce, and a large number of devils rushed towards the Eighth Route's position like mad dogs.

Seeing the little devil gradually approaching, the commander shouted loudly: "Brothers, beat me to death."

Following the commander's order, the impatient soldiers who had been waiting on the ground all aimed at the little devil and pulled the trigger.

"Da da da~!"

For a moment, there was a loud gunshot, and the dense bullets swept towards the little devil like splashing water.

The devil couldn't guard against his mistake, and fell down in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the little devils behind raised their guns and began to fight back. The two sides fell into a melee again.

The battle was very fierce, and the soldiers on both sides were all red-eyed at the moment, shooting at each other desperately.

People kept falling on the battlefield, and flesh and blood flew across the battlefield.

This time, the [-]nd Regiment also went all out, desperately blocking the little devil's attack.

This is also because the ammunition is sufficient. If the ammunition was insufficient before, Cheng Xiazi would not dare to fight like this.

Eight roads at that time had a nickname, called three guns and eight roads.

After firing three shots, he could only rush out to fight the little devil with a bayonet, at most it would be another round of grenades.

Because each person can only get a few bullets, and some soldiers don't even have guns.

There is no way, the ammunition is insufficient, and the weapons are simple, so this method can only be used to fight the little devil.

But this time, with the support of Li Yunlong, the [-]th Regiment still had enough ammunition, at least they could have a good fight with the little devil.

These soldiers had never fought such a rich battle, and they were all excited, shooting desperately to block the little devil's attack.

The battle fell into a stalemate for a while, fighting from morning to noon.

The fighting lasted several hours, causing heavy casualties on both sides.

However, under the tenacious resistance of the Eight Route Army, the little devil was unable to conquer the North Ridge defense line.

Hirata Kenkichi cursed angrily, but faced with such a situation, there was nothing he could do.

Almost all the methods that can be used have been used, but the results are useless.

The North Ridge defense line has always been impregnable. Although the little devil has an advantage in strength, the [-]nd Regiment occupies a favorable location.

Looking at the corpses of devils everywhere on the battlefield, Hirata Kenkichi was so angry that smoke was coming from his seven orifices.

A devil officer next to him hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Excellency, Commander, please calm down. The enemy army has an advantage in terrain, and the imperial army's attacks have been repeatedly frustrated."

Hirata Kenkichi tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "We have also fought against Eight Routes before, but we have never encountered such Eight Routes."

"It's really unreasonable that they dare to confront the imperial army head-on, and they can stop the imperial army."

The devil officer explained: "Your Excellency, division commander, according to the information we have obtained, the [-]nd Regiment of the Eighth Route is guarding the North Ridge. This is their main force, and their combat effectiveness is indeed not weak."

"The lack of combat power shown by the Eight Routes before was because they lacked ammunition, but according to my observation, the Eight Routes have sufficient ammunition."

"Even if they are not as good as the Imperial Army, they are still comparable. Their disadvantage is only in terms of heavy firepower, but the advantage of terrain can effectively offset this disadvantage."

"Restricted by the terrain, although the imperial army has a large number of troops, only a small number of troops can attack each time. Large troops cannot be deployed, which also gives the enemy an opportunity."

"Humph~!"

Hirata Kenkichi snorted coldly, and said: "Stop making these useless excuses, what we should consider now is how to defeat these Tubalus."

The devil officer said cautiously: "Looking at the current situation, there is no good way, but to slowly consume them and drag them down."

"After all, the enemy's ammunition is limited. Basically, they can only rely on seizures to obtain ammunition, and they cannot support a large-scale frontal battle."

"Therefore, as long as we have enough patience, even if it is exhausted, we can slowly exhaust them to death."

"If you act too hastily, it will be detrimental to the imperial army."

Hearing this, Hirata Kenkichi couldn't help but fell silent, and the old devil also began to ponder, what he said seemed to make sense.

It's just that if it goes on like this, how long will it take?
Hirata Kenkichi really had no idea.

At this time, a ghost officer ran over quickly and said, "Report to your Excellency, the commander of the division, you have just received information from the Army Aviation."

"The reconnaissance plane found that there are currently a large number of enemy troops approaching the direction of Ping'an City."

"Combined with the previous intelligence, the main force of the enemy army in the Taiyue area has basically rushed to the vicinity of Ping'an County."

Hearing this, Hirata Kenkichi couldn't help but frowned, and said angrily, "These dirt boys are really daring, are they going to fight us to the death?"
