"It seems that your situation is not optimistic?" As soon as you see Li Deyuan's expression, Qiu An knew that the situation was not good!

"The Japanese army has too strong firepower, and with their strong troops, they can attack continuously. I am just a little bit of people, and I don't even have a chance to breathe!" Li Deyuan complained.

"How many casualties?"

"It's already half over!"

"So much?" Qiu An was slightly shocked. The situation seemed worse than he had imagined.

"There is at least six hours left before it's too dark. It's really difficult to hold on until it's dark. Even if I've wiped out all my battalions, I may not be able to do it!" Li Deyuan said.

"Tell me how you set up defenses?" Qiu An nodded. According to his current playing style, he really couldn't hold on until dark!

"Sir Qiu, look, this is how I set up defenses. This is the only road leading to Xiawa. You can take a car. These three are relatively high hillsides, in the shape of a font. I set up defenses on these three hillsides and set up three lines of defense. The first line of defense has been broken by the Japanese army. Now I am fighting fiercely on the second line of defense..."

"Cross-arrangement without leaving any dead ends for shooting. Well, Battalion Commander Li thought very thoughtfully!" Qiu An affirmed Li Deyuan's fortification plan and said, "It is because our army lacks heavy weapons and it is difficult to suppress the enemy's firepower. And as long as our heavy firepower appears, we will inevitably be attacked by enemy artillery, but we do not have any threat to the opponent's artillery, and the losses will become greater and greater. Am I right?"

"Sir Qiu is right!"

"Don't you have two mortars? This is what Brigade Commander Geng asked for by Commander Guan. Isn't it useless?"

"Sir Qiu, I'm not afraid of you making fun of you. These two mortars are treasures of our first battalion. This good steel must be used on the blade. If we use it now, we will have no backup plan!" Li Deyuan said excitedly.

"Battlefield Commander Li's idea is very good. Fortunately, you are useless. This has a little more hope for us until dark. To be honest, I also brought two mortars this time, which were seized from the Japanese. It did not belong to us. It was Colonel Liu who saw that Battalion Commander Li was a little weak in firepower. He gave it to you very evenly!" Qiu An said.

"What Chief Qiu said is true?"

"Of course, I brought all the cannons, and there are still fakes. Moreover, I brought thirty shells for each cannon!"

"Thirty shots. That's not sixty shots. With our thirty shots, it's ninety shots!" Li Deyuan's eyes lit up instantly, very bright, very bright.

Although there are not many ninety shells, if you save some use, you should be able to last until dark.

"Old Li. I think if we want to stick to dark, we must solve the Japanese artillery!" Qiu An expressed his inner thoughts!

"How to solve it?" Li Deyuan basically regarded Qiu An as a life-saving straw now.

"One of our mortars has not been exposed, right?"

"No, I haven't fired a shell, how could it be exposed?" Li Deyuan shook his head and said.

"We don't have artillery. The enemy must think that we don't have heavy weapons, so we will lure their artillery positions forward!" Qiu Andao.

"Can this Japanese army be fooled?"

"Of course we need bait!" Qiu Andao.

"What bait?" Li Deyuan looked confused.

"Our heavy machine gun!" Qiu Andao, "Our heavy machine gun is a killer for the attacking infantry. The main target of the enemy's artillery should also be our light and heavy machine gun position. Join us to set the heavy machine gun position in a special position. Force the Japanese artillery to move forward. As long as they enter the range of our artillery guns, we can knock it out at lightning speed!"

"But the Japanese army did not use all the artillery. Even if we cut off some of their artillery, they will replenish them quickly!" Li Deyuan said.

"Battleman Li, don't forget that I just blocked the Japanese army, rather than blocking the Japanese army in Xiawa Town, and their focus is not us. If all their artillery is lost now, what will they use to attack Chifeng?" Qiu Andao.

The Japanese army opposite was just an infantry brigade. Although it was a permanent A Division, according to the Japanese army's organization, a brigade was equipped with at most one artillery brigade, almost two artillery brigades, with a total of eight artillery brigades, equipped with mountain artillery. According to the news from the Lingyuan battlefield, the large-caliber artillery of the Japanese Sixth Division operated with the division headquarters. This was only part of the 36th Brigade, and its main combat forces were the 23rd Infantry Regiment and some related auxiliary troops, a squadron's reconnaissance cavalry, an artillery squadron, a baggage squadron, a communication squadron and a health squadron, etc.

The auxiliary puppet army's equipment and combat effectiveness are not as good as Li Deyuan's first battalion. At most, it is to maintain the order of the occupied land and take good care of the materials. Most of the time, it is similar to the armed civilians!

Judging from the equipment of the Japanese army, in the eyes of the Western powers, it is just a second-rate level. Of course, this is still incomparable to the current Chinese JD. The Japanese army is second-rate, so the Chinese army is not in the market!

This is also related to the importance of Japan's maritime power, so the development of the Japanese army's military equipment lags far behind the navy, and even the air force subordinate to the navy and the navy and the army is slightly inferior!

Japan's efforts to develop the navy have given Japan the capital to rampant in Asia. Of course, the Japanese army is the best in Asia in terms of strength and military proficiency!

Compared with the Chinese JD, which does not even have heavy artillery, the development of the Japanese army's military equipment has been limited by funding, but it has achieved unparalleled results!

The West's military blockade against China made China unable to purchase artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and Japan does not have such restrictions. Whether they buy or make it themselves, they have the ability to equip heavy artillery!

Basically, the current Chinese JD equipment is basically artillery with a caliber of less than 100 mm, and the number is very small. Artillery is also a very technical group of troops, and the treatment is much higher than that of ordinary infantry.

"There are two mountain cannons in total, and the others are 100 mm caliber mortars, and there are more 70 mm mortars, basically following behind the attacking troops. Moreover, the Japanese were accurately shooting the cannons, and most of our casualties were caused by the Japanese artillery!" Li Deyuan explained in detail.

"That means that the Japanese still have at least two mountain cannons that have not been used. How many mortars are there with a caliber of 100 mm?"

"There are five or six doors?"

"Are there any other artillery?"

"No more, I just see these." Li Deyuan thought about it carefully and nodded.

The Japanese launched this attack very suddenly, and many heavy equipment should not have been transported. In addition, they are very familiar with the Tang army and the Northeast Army, and they know their weapons and equipment very well. Therefore, in their opinion, the use of heavy artillery is suspected of killing chickens and using a ox knife. Moreover, heavy equipment is not easy to move. It is better to have a road, but you can use a truck. If you don’t even have highways, even if you have heavy equipment, it may not be able to use it. Maybe it will drag down the speed of the troops’ offensive and cannot achieve sudden attack!

"I'll go to the position to observe first and see how to lure the Japanese artillery positions forward!" Qiu Andao.

"Okay, I'll send someone to take Chief Qiu over?" Li Deyuan said.

"Don't call me the commander, it sounds awkward. Battalion Commander Li will just call me Xiao Qiu!" Qiu An said.

"How can that be? Otherwise, I will call you, Qiu Team and you, do you like it?"

"middle!"

Qiu An led the first squadron of the Sixth Battalion of the Special Forces Brigade, led by a soldier, directly entered the second line of defense of the first company's defense.

The first company had been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army on the second line of defense for more than ten minutes. After the Japanese artillery fire was prepared, it would immediately launch a charge. Sometimes, before the artillery fire was over, the Japanese army rushed up. Almost every time the soldiers of the first company survived from the Japanese artillery fire, they immediately entered a desperate battle with the Japanese army.

The Japanese army's combat power is really not a big deal. Its marksmanship and physical strength are abundant, especially when fighting in hand-to-hand combat, which made the soldiers of the first company suffer!

The surge in casualties made Peng Da see it in his eyes and was anxious. If this company hadn't been following Geng Jizhou's old troops, such a large casualty defense line would have collapsed long ago and could still persist. Everyone had the belief of dying and was completely supported by a will!

"Company Commander, reinforcements are coming!"

"What?" Peng Dasha's eyes were red, and he smashed a Japanese head with a swing of the stock, turned his head and yelled.

"Company Commander, reinforcements..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and a bright sword passed through his chest, and a Japanese soldier appeared behind him with a grim smile.

"No……"

"Company Commander, reinforcements are really coming..." A bloody finger fell from the air.

Peng Da turned his head and saw that it was indeed reinforcements coming, but there were less than thirty people. Moreover, their outfits were different from those of ordinary Eastern Anti-Japanese troops. Their faces were covered with dust, and they looked like clay sculptures that had been eroded by wind and rain in the temple. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, giving people a cold feeling!

“Bo, Bo…”

A series of dull gunshots sounded, and Peng Da noticed that the guns in these people were a little different from theirs. Moreover, each of them was extremely accurate in shooting, and the Japanese troops who rushed to the second line of defense fell one after another.

Such a new force rushed forward, and a Japanese squad was quickly massacred. Their killing methods were neat and neat. As long as the Japanese soldiers were approached by them, there was basically no one in one general!

What are these people?

Peng Dayi thought of them as the mysterious guard force beside Commander Tie Meng.

"Who is Company Commander Peng?" Qiu An kept firing with a pistol in his hand, and Japanese troops continued to fall around him.

"I am!" Peng Da reacted and shouted hurriedly.

At this moment, Qiu An suddenly turned around, aimed at Peng Da, and suddenly pulled the trigger.

Peng Da was startled and thought the other party was going to shoot him. Just as he closed his eyes, he heard a sound of a human body falling to the ground behind him.

When he suddenly opened his eyes, he saw a Japanese soldier lying on his feet, a blood hole in the back of his head, and a Type 38 rifle was tightly grasped in his hand and pressed under him!

"Where are you in a war, why are you stunned?" Qiu An roared!

"Yes, yes!" Peng Da quickly grabbed his big knife and killed the Japanese army!

"What's going on? It's not that I've already attacked the Chinese people's positions, how could I retreat again?" asked the Grandmaster of the Chinese and Western countries angrily.

"Report, the reinforcements of the Chinese army have arrived and we have been defeated!"

"Bastard!" The Grandmaster of the Chinese and Western countries raised his hand and slapped the lieutenant loudly. He had already attacked, but now he was beaten down. This was simply too embarrassing!

"Report to the Grandmaster, the Third Squad was wiped out!"

"Baga, what's going on?"

The Japanese soldiers lowered their heads at a loss!

"Bastard, waste, organize a charge immediately. I want you to rush to the Chinese people's position immediately and kill them all, hurry!"

"Hayi!"

"You are Company Commander Peng, I am Qiu An, the captain of the Sixth Battalion of the Langya Special Forces Brigade!" Qiu An and Peng Da finally had the opportunity to speak.

"Report Exhibition Hall, Peng Da, the company commander of the 1st Battalion, 1st Battalion, 2nd Regiment, 2nd Brigade, Rehe Squadron, Northeast Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance, reported to the commander!"

"In extraordinary times, there are so many polite tricks!" Qiu An reached out and blocked Peng Da and saluted him.

"Yes, Chief Qiu is right, I forgot when I was excited!" Peng Da said embarrassedly.

"We are only a few hundred meters away from the Japanese. If they can see us, we can naturally see them. This salute can easily reveal the position of our commander and give the enemy a chance. Do you understand?"

"I understand, please don't worry, Chief Qiu, there won't be a next time!"

"Don't be so serious. I saw that you were very neat in killing the Japanese just now. It seemed that you had done it in the Northwest Army?" Qiu An handed a cigarette and said.

"Captain Qiu has a wide range of knowledge. I have been in the Northwest Army. During the Central Plains War, it was broken up. I was incorporated by the Northeast Army, and then I followed our battalion commander and brigade commander..."

"The people who kill the Japanese are all good men. I, Qiu An, admire them, but you can't be dazed on this battlefield, it's going to kill people!"

"I was shocked by the shooting skills and murderous methods of Chief Qiu. I didn't expect that I would almost be attacked by the Japanese. If it weren't for the shooting of Chief Qiu, my life would have been explained!" Peng Da said embarrassedly.
