It's activated, take a break from your eyes, it's good to listen to the book!

The anti-tank trenches and anti-tank rays at the front of the position greatly delayed the offensive of the Ri Army. At nearly noon, Li Ben finally advanced to the position of the 2nd Company of the 19th Brigade.

Zhang Youquan's second company fought very badly in Dan County. Xu Shijiu didn't say anything afterwards, but Zhang Youquan, who was very proud, would rather be scolded by Xu Shijiu. After the battle, Zhang Youquan put away his usual arrogance and began to carefully summarize the gains and losses of the battle in Dan County. At the same time, he humbly learned the tactics of the first company.

Not afraid of veterans being able to fight, but fear of veterans being able to learn. Zhang Youquan's humility is really different. Zhang Youquan also found in his study that the routines of the 19th Brigade are really different from other **s, and they are really effective on the battlefield. For example, the construction of fortifications, the hierarchical arrangement of the 19th Brigade is much more powerful than the frontal development.

This time, Zhang Youquan was trying to prove that his second company was not worse than Gao Shenxing's one, so he tried to win the opportunity from Xu Shijiu to the front of the entire brigade.

"No one is allowed to shoot without my orders."

Zhang Youquan held the box cannon in his hand and stared coldly at the front. The iron turtle in the small bank ahead was less than two hundred meters away from the first main trench of the second company, and the dozen fox pits at the forefront were less than one hundred meters away from the Ri Army. Zhang Youquan was unmoved at all.

Seeing that the little turtle of the iron turtle became closer and closer, the bayonet in the hands of the soldier also showed a cold and cold light under the sunlight. Many new recruits' breathing began to become heavy, but no one panicked, and no one fired randomly. After the baptism of two fierce battles in Xin'anji in Shanxian County, the recruits of the second company were much calmer.

Without any warning, the soldiers following behind the tank suddenly became in chaos.

Zhang Youquan smiled. Little Rib had already entered the thunder formation arranged by the engineers. This kind of anti-infantry thunder was invented by Li Zihan, the platoon leader of the engineers. To put it bluntly, it was actually an mm-caliber bullet. After a slight modification, it became an anti-infantry thunder. Once the thunder soldiers stepped on it, the soles of their feet would be scrapped, and the worst would be pierced through the abdomen and killed them directly.

Last night, the engineers lined up at least thousands of anti-infantry mines in front of the position. Even though the tanks in front ran over and triggered some of them, the rest was enough to drink a pot.

Sure enough, Li Ben stopped again. A team of medical soldiers carrying the red cross logo hurried up on a stretcher and carried a few injured Li Ben down. Then a team of engineers came up with a mine detector and began to clear mines.

This time, more than a dozen sharpshooters led by Gao Shen did not come to make trouble. They let Li Ben clear the mines and cleared thousands of anti-infantry thunders, which was enough for Li Ben to work until the afternoon.

While Gao Shenxing was napping, Li Mu quietly reached his hand to the modified rifle that was put aside. However, before Li Mu's hand could touch the modified rifle, Gao Shenxing, who was napping, suddenly opened his eyes and turned to stare at Li Mu. Li Mu smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand that was stretched out in awkward manner.

Gao Shenxing asked coldly: "Are you?"

Li Mu nodded repeatedly: "Company Commander, please lend me a entourage?"

"Do you want to borrow my gun?" Gao Shenxing smiled. Just as Li Mu's heart felt infinite hope, Gao Shenxing's expression suddenly became cold and said, "There is no door."

Li Mu's face collapsed. He really liked Gao Shenxing's gun.

Fierce gunfire suddenly sounded on the front position, and the Second Company finally got angry with Xiao Ri Ben. Xiao Ri Ben is not a fool. After removing more than a dozen anti-infantry thunders, they found that the minefield was extremely dense. It would take less than half a day to completely clear it, so they asked the tanks to crush the road back and forth to clear the way forward for the infantry.

The gunshots sounded on the position, but Gao Shenxing really fell asleep.

Although Gao Shenxing had not followed Xu Shijiu for a long time, he already had a good understanding of Xu Shijiu's tactical ideas. He knew that Gao Shenxing and Yilian were no longer in the daytime. It was the time for them to attack in a row at night, because it was never the style of their 19th brigade.

There is a characteristic of fighting in the war. Once the frontal attack cannot be opened, the troops will be divided into wings. Sometimes, the flanks will be first surrounded without waiting for the frontal attack to be launched. There is also a characteristic of fighting in the war, which is that it only focuses on the frontal and does not pay attention to flanking protection, so it will suffer a great loss when the flanks are surrounded by the flanks.

Sakagaki Seishiro was able to defeat the Jinsui Army with half a division, and the 30 divisions of the zhongyang Army were because the old Japanese soldiers surrounded the flanks and made it perfect. Yan Xishan, the old warlord, did not know how to protect the flanks at all, so the ri army easily attacked and occupied Niangzi Pass, causing more than 30 divisions on the Xinkou front to fall into trouble.

Caochang Tatsumi also likes to surround the wings, but this time he kicked the iron plate.

Feng Shengfa was prepared for Xiao Ri Ben's flank encirclement and arranged the 19th brigade of the 19th brigade on the flank. Caochang Tatsumi sent the 3rd brigade of the Infantry Regiment to attack for a whole day, but he was unable to break through the defense line of the 19th brigade. More than 400 brigade soldiers were injured and killed, and two squadron captains were killed.

Due to equipment limitations, **'s offense is indeed not very good, but the defense is still very good.

"Brig Commander, the Chinese army on the right wing is very tenacious, and the fortifications are also very strong. The cluster artillery of the Imperial Army has almost no damage to their vital forces." Mizawa Yoshio couldn't help but look at Hirata Kenyo, who was guilty and avoided his sight. In today's battle, the heavy artillery brigade's killing effect on the ** was not ideal. Not to mention directly defeating the **, it could not even weaken the **'s fighting spirit.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the heavy artillery brigade of Hirata Kenyoshi. The heavy artillery brigade's umm caliber and even 15umm caliber heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery brigade are still very lethal. However, the little ri is fundamentally a resource-scarred country, so the base camp of the Ri Army cannot transport shells to the front line without restrictions.

In addition, eastern Henan is full of plains, with deep soil layers and easy to dig. With the help of tens of thousands of civilians, the officers and soldiers of the 74th Army built a large number of field fortifications overnight. The field fortifications were complete, and the density of the shells in the small bank was far beyond saturation. With one decline and the other increased, the lethality of the small bank artillery was quite limited.

On the contrary, the aviation force of Li Ben's aviation force poses a great threat to the squad. After the 813 air battle, the technical and tactical capabilities of the squad were greatly improved. Ordinary squad pilots could dive bombing the squad positions. Those who had the technology could even throw air bombs directly into the underground cover to destroy the squad command.

Fortunately, the advancement of the infantry in Xuzhou this time by Xiaoriben's joint attack on Xuzhou was so fast that the engineers had no time to build airports on the front line, forcing Xiaoriben's aviation troops to fly over from Beiping, Tianjin or Qingdao airports thousands of kilometers away to cooperate with infantry operations, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the aviation troops.

Yoshio Mizawa said again: "The offensive of the 20th Infantry Regiment of the Battalion has been severely frustrated. Do you see, should you turn the main attack direction to the junction of the opposite Chinese military defense line and forcefully break through from the middle, and then break it down one by one after the Chinese military is divided?"

Yoshio Mizawa never looked down on the opposite side, but he also did not expect that this team would be so tenacious. At most, the right wing team had only one regiment of troops. Facing the fierce attack of an infantry brigade of the Ri Army and the tanks to guide the infantry to attack, the team was still not at a disadvantage. Since the Battle of Songhu, such tenacious team has been rare.

Caochang Tatsumi did not immediately express his opinion, but asked: "Have the number of the opposite Chinese army was found?"

Yoshio Mizawa could only smile bitterly and shook his head. After the outbreak of the Sino-Ri War, dozens of troops emerged and newly formed a legion. The two-level system of the corps made the intelligence agencies of the army very anxious and could not figure out the east, south, west and north. When capturing ** prisoners of war on the battlefield, they only knew how many battalions and companies they belonged to, and they couldn't even figure out the number of regiments.

"Baga." Caochang Tatsumi was furious. After fighting here for a long time, he didn't even know who his opponent was.

Hirata Kenyoshi said: "The Chinese army opposite has extremely strong combat power. The officers also know how to arrange anti-tank cones and dig anti-tank trenches to limit the advance route of the Imperial Army's tanks. It can be seen that it is not an ordinary force. This should be the Jingxing troops in the Chinese army. Could it be the training of the German advisory group! Zhongyang Military Academy Teaching Corps?"

Yoshio Mizawa said: "Although the zhongyang Military Academy Teaching Corps was trained and trained by the German Advisory Group of Aid China, the technical equipment is also the best in the Chinese army, but it performed averagely in the Battle of Shanghai. It was even severely damaged by our division in the battle of Nanjing. After that, it was revoked by the Chinese leader Chiang. This army should no longer exist, right?"

Hirata Kenyoshi said: "If it weren't for the zhongyang Military Academy's Teaching Corps, which unit would it be?"

After a moment of silence, Yoshio Mizawa suddenly said to Tatsumi Caochang: "Chief of the Division, I wonder if you have noticed that the fortifications built by the opposite China army are obviously different from other China army. Other China army pays attention to the front. If two regiments have forces, they will never place one regiment on the front. The firepower points built are also mainly directed, while the firepower points are more important, while the opposite China army pays more attention to the protection of the opposite side and rear direction. Judging from the fortifications built by the opponent, the four brigades have been arranged in stairs, and the firepower points are mainly side and dark firepower. This is not like the usual performance of the Chinese army."

Toshio Imada, the captain of the Duli Chariot Battalion, added: "The Chinese army on the opposite side knows how to arrange anti-tank cones, and can also modify anti-tank rays with 10m caliber shells. The anti-tank trenches dug are also very standard. This is simply surprising. I can't imagine that there is such a unit in the Chinese army."

Toshio Imada's Duli Tanks Battalion performed poorly in today's battle. Two chariot squads that were put into battle, eight Type 95 light tanks, one withdrew from the battle due to track failure, and two were destroyed by the side armor of the ** side she machine guns. The remaining five were all trapped in the anti-tank trenches dug, and then they were blown up by the ** suicide squad holding bundles of grenades.

Mizawa Yoshio said: "The Chinese army has always had the habit of digging traps in front of the positions. This is not surprising, but the Chinese army opposite knows how to build standard anti-tank trenches, and the arrangement of the anti-tank thunder formations is quite regular. This is indeed rare. Division commander, I suspect that the commander of the Chinese army opposite may have studied at the German school."

Caochang Tatsumi frowned and said, "One of the senior generals of the Chinese army has only been studying in Germany. Jiang Baili is the best among them, but now he is terminally ill, so it is not him. Apart from Jiang Baili, there are only Gui Yongqing and Qiu Qingquan and others. Could it be one of these people?"

Before the massive invasion of China, the Ri army had registered senior generals above the ** division commander, and even the division commander of local troops such as the Shanxi Sui Army, Sichuan Army and Gui Army had detailed records. Generals such as Jiang Baili, Gui Yongqing, and Qiu Qingquan who had studied in Germany were the focus of attention of the Ri army's intelligence departments. Caochang Tatsumi also served as a staff officer, and knew all about these.

Yoshio Mizawa was speechless. After the outbreak of the Sino-Ri War, the personnel and staffing were adjusted one after another. The intelligence departments of the Ri army had already been overwhelmed and had no time to take care of the few generals with German backgrounds, so Yoshio Mizawa could not answer Tatsumi's question at the Grassland.

Tatsumi Caoba finally refuted the suggestion made by Yoshio Mizawa and decided to focus on the frontal attack the next day, supplemented by the right wing. The old devil said in a stiff tone: "No matter who the Chinese commander on the opposite side is or whether he has been studying in Germany, they must be dealt with tomorrow."
