Chief of Staff Zhang Hai said: "Teacher, I think it's almost done. It's time to fight back. Now the Japanese's attention has been attracted. If we continue to shoot like this, it will be bad for us. The machine gun bullets are now only more than 30%. If all the machine gun bullets are fired and there will be other accidents in the future, it will be difficult for us to deal with. We must always keep a little."

Li Lixin shook his head and said, "Wait a minute. When the attack of these Japanese troops is over, we will go back and exchange the next batch of Japanese troops to attack. This is the time for us to counterattack, because when the Japanese troops enter the army to exchange attacks, they are the weakest time. Only when we launch an attack at this time can we have enough confidence to defeat the Japanese troops in one fell swoop."

Deputy Division Commander Yang Maolin said: "At this time, why haven't these Japanese troops withdrawn and replaced them?"

Li Lixin scratched his head and said, "Who knows? The Japanese cannot be measured by normal people."

At this time, Zhang Hai said: "Look, the troops behind the Japanese army have been dispatched."

Li Lixin and Yang Maolin were both stunned, and then immediately picked up the telescope and looked towards the Japanese position. A large number of Japanese troops came out of the position and advanced forward. Li Lixin murmured: "What are you planning to do? Are you going to exchange troops in the middle?"

In fact, Kunata Oshima had long wanted to replace the 18th Brigade and let the rest-repaired 6th Brigade attack again, because the 18th Brigade fought too long and suffered too much loss. However, the 18th Brigade successively captured two high grounds of the People's Army, and is now attacking the A3 position of the People's Army with all its strength. It is about to use the strength of the brigade to break the left wing position of the People's Army. At this time, replacing the 18th Brigade will probably damage the morale of the 18th Brigade. Therefore, Kunata Oshima planned to wait for the 18th Brigade to capture the A3 Highlands, and after establishing the full achievements, they would then withdraw them. Nazhi's attack was blocked in front of the A3 position, Kunata Oshima had to withdraw the 18th Brigade in advance and send the 6th Brigade to continue the attack.

Initially, the army exchange should be carried out to withdraw the attacking army back to the position, and then the new attacking troops attacked from the position. This is of course the safest way to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack. However, the main position of the Japanese army is about 7 kilometers away from the a3 position, which takes at least half an hour to go, which gives the People's Army time to breathe and adjust. Moreover, Hina Oshima believes that the defenders of the a3 position should be

At the end of the power, the Japanese army only needs to add another force to take down the A3 position. Therefore, at this time, the People's Army must not give any breathing opportunity. So Kunata Oshima decided to risk the alternation of offensive and defensive forces in front of the battlefield, which can ensure that the Japanese offensive interruption time is controlled within 10 minutes. Of course, Kunata Oshima also believes that the People's Army is unable to counterattack at all, or even if there is a counterattack, the Japanese army is well-trained and able to withstand it.

"Order 82 mortar preparation, target 2500 meters."

Looking at the Japanese army gradually approaching the People's Army's positions in the distance and the Japanese army retreating from the attack, Li Lixin also issued his own orders to the People's Army on the left and right wing positions.

The maximum range of the 82mm mortar is 3,200 meters, but the actual effective range is between 2,200 and 2,600. Li Lixin hopes that the Japanese army can alternate offense and defense at this distance, and Na will be the best attack opportunity for the People's Army.

The Japanese army did undergo rigorous training. Even if the army was transformed and changed offensively on the battlefield, they were still in good order and each performed their own responsibilities. The retreating soldiers were very consciously separated to the sides and left the middle position to the army that took over their attacks, so that the troops could pass by without the situation of advancing and retreating troops crowding and blocking each other.

If this alternation continues, the Japanese army can complete the alternation of the advance and retreat troops in only 10 minutes at most, and immediately launch an attack on the People's Army's positions.

But at this moment, the People's Army's counterattack finally began. Because the place where the Japanese army alternated was just within the scope of the People's Army's most hope, the People's Army naturally would not let go of this fighter jet. So the 2nd Regiment of the left-wing position immediately ordered the Japanese army to launch artillery bombardment.

At this time, the 82 mortar, which had been silent on the battlefield for more than three hours, finally won the opportunity to be proud. They desperately poured shells into the Japanese army. Often the previous shell had not yet landed, and the shells behind had already been released. For a moment, the sky was covered with small black dots, and the whereabouts continued to expand, and finally landed in the Japanese army's ranks, turning into dazzling and blooming death-burning flowers, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers.

Since the troops that were advancing and retreating were alternately separated, they also squeezed each other's space invisibly. Whether it was advancing and retreating troops, the queues became very dense. Therefore, after the shells fell, the lethality was fully utilized. The Japanese soldiers within 10 meters of the landing point of the shells were all blown away, with broken bones and broken tendons. The explosion was dense, and people screamed.

The maximum firing rate of the 82 mortar can reach 16 rounds per minute, but in the actual battlefield, it can generally be 8-10 rounds per minute. In this way, 32 rounds of shells can be completely wiped out within 3-4 minutes. Therefore, in less than 5 minutes, the 82 mortar troops of the 2nd regiment fired a total of more than 700 rounds of 82mm shells, basically covering the two alternate Japanese troops.

Originally, the Japanese army's advance and retreat were in order, but when they were hit by such intensive artillery fire, they could no longer remain calm. So some people ran back and some people avoided left and right. Whether it was advancing or retreating, the teams were inevitably in chaos.

The People's Army on the left wing rushed out of the defensive position at the beginning of the artillery bombardment and advanced towards the Japanese army. At the end of the artillery bombardment, the People's Army had approached less than 300 meters of the Japanese army and immediately launched a charge against the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese army was completely in chaos. Although some Japanese soldiers or small groups of Japanese troops were stubbornly resisting the attack on the People's Army, as a whole, the Japanese army could not provide effective resistance at all. Even the hand-to-hand combat that the Japanese army had always been proud of was not as good as the opponent of the People's Army. As a result, countless casualties and wounded bodies were killed and buried in the fields.

On the right wing, although the Japanese army also alternated with advancing, retreating, offensive and defending on the battlefield, since the right wing was not the focus of the Japanese army's offensive and was not in a hurry to maintain an offensive. Therefore, the location of the alternation was far away, about 3.2 kilometers away from the right wing position, which was exactly the limit of the range of 82 mortars. The People's Army did not rush to fire the artillery, but waited for the Japanese army to complete the alternation and the attacking troops entered about 2,500 meters before firing artillery attacks, and did not shoot all the shells, only half of them were used. Then the People's Army also broke out from the position and launched an attack on the Japanese army.

Although only half of the shells were fired, it still caused a heavy blow to the Japanese army and the formation was chaotic, but it was still able to maintain some organization. However, the right-wing People's Army did not directly rush up to engage in close combat with the Japanese army, and still maintained the range of the rifle, so that the People's Army's grenade launcher and 60 mortars also had room to play.

Although the power of grenade launcher and 60 mortar is smaller, it is better because of its denser firepower. Moreover, the two sides are completely in field battles and there is no concealment. Therefore, the lethality of grenade launcher and 60 mortar can be fully utilized. Moreover, the firepower of the People's Army is not weak. At this time, the advantages of general machine guns are also reflected. They can operate with the infantry, and the Japanese army was also beaten to death. Originally, before the two sides met, the Japanese army was a little confused after a shelling of the Japanese army, but now they are violently attacked by the People's Army, and the chaos is not curbed. Seeing that the Japanese army was completely in chaos, the People's Army launched its final charge on the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese general, Hinata Oshima, was completely stunned. He could see the battle between the two formations on both sides. The fierce firepower of the People's Army artillery was far beyond his imagination. The artillery on each position may not be less than 50, and it is not impossible to reach 70. But how could the People's Army have so many artillery? If 3 or 40 artillery can be hidden without force, but 100 artillery can be hidden. How did the scouts reconnaissance? Thinking of this, Hinata Oshima wished that they could shoot all the scouts.

But now Oshima Hakuna has no time to hold the scouts accountable, because the Japanese army on both sides of the left and right could not resist the reaction of the People's Army. Now, it is only because the Japanese army has a large number and blocked the People's Army's way of advancing, so it has not been able to attack the Japanese positions, but it has not been long since. After all, the Japanese army on both sides have been defeated.

Now, there is only one corps that has just withdrawn from the right-wing battlefield, with only more than 2,000 people. Once the People's Army highlights the restraint of the Japanese army on both wings and launches an attack on the Japanese position, whether the Japanese army can withstand it. Of course, at this point, it is impossible for the Japanese army to break through the People's Army's defense line. Now we can only see how to end the battle decently.

At this time, someone suggested to Hinata Oshima to retreat quickly. But Hinata Oshima also knew that if he retreated now, he would not only completely lose this battle, but also the defeated troops on both sides would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. If he held his position, there would be a glimmer of hope, because now the defeated soldiers have returned to the position. If he could try his best to contain the soldiers who were defeated and defend the position, as long as he could withstand this round of attack from the People's Army, the Japanese army might be able to end the battle in a more decent way.
