Chapter 125: The battle is fierce
At the regiment headquarters, Zeng Zesheng had just put down the phone to report the military situation to Zhang Chong, and a communication soldier hurriedly ran in and said: "Regiment commander, the third battalion and the Japanese army are on fire"!
"How many troops did the Japanese army have"?
"The commander of the third battalion said that it was too dark to see clearly, but there were a lot of people, and it might be a brigade"! Said the communications officer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zeng Zesheng looked down at the position and said: "They can't stop a brigade of the Japanese army, they need reinforcements"!
"But we don't have any reserves"?
"Send a report to Lu Hai and ask them to quickly withdraw to the third battalion"!
"Yes"!
In fact, Lu Hai and the others did not go far, and after joining Zhao Jianying, they made a detour around the periphery of the Japanese defensive line, preparing to find weak points to attack in order to cope with the frontal pressure.
"Battalion commander, regiment commander Zeng emergency telegram"!
Lu Hai took the telegram and frowned, and Chen Liang on the side said worriedly: "What's the matter?"
Lu Hai handed over the telegram, then took out the map and glanced at it and said: "Take this path, leave behind the unnecessary baggage, and move forward at full speed"!
"Yes"!
At this time, on the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army had just broken through to the previous position where Li Zuo and them were ambushed, and Li Zuo said loudly: "Detonate!" ā
A soldier twisted the detonator in his hand, and with a deafening loud sound, the front-line position remembered the sound of an incomparably violent explosion, and the Japanese troops at the front suffered extremely heavy casualties.
However, the Japanese army has been saving for a long time, it can be said that it is inevitable, they never thought of a good sneak attack, but it became someone else's anti-ambush, when the battlefield was still stalemate, they had already lost hundreds of people, and at this time the position was still captured, and the side was also tied to death, under the urging of the Japanese officers, the Japanese army in front could only risk the danger of being crushed at any time to launch a charge.
Just when the Japanese army entered the position below, Li Zuo was not in a hurry to fire, after all, the visibility in the dark was not high, the accuracy of the shooting was reduced, and firing in the dark was only to expose the firepower to the Japanese artillery, as long as the distance between the two armies was close enough, the Japanese artillery was pinned down and did not dare to fire at will, and the melee night battle could also charge and give full play to the specialties of the soldiers of the Yunnan army.
As the Japanese army had entered fifty meters, Li Zuo still did not give the order to shoot, and the rifles in the hands of many soldiers had begun to aim at the chests of many Japanese soldiers, just waiting for Li Zuo to give the order.
Seeing that the Japanese army had already entered a distance of 30 meters, Li Zuo shouted with a machine gun: "Fight"!
Saying that Li Zuo had already fired, the sound of gunfire was an order, and the soldiers who had already locked on the Japanese army opened fire one after another, and a series of bullets whistled into the chest and head of the Japanese army!
"Grenades!"
Before the words fell, another series of grenades flew out with a whistling voice, thirty meters In Li Yunlong's words, even an old lady could throw the grenade onto the Japanese position, not to mention these young soldiers?
In a series of violent grenade explosions, the Japanese attack troops suffered heavy losses, not to mention the fierce fire of thousands of people who fired fiercely at the Japanese army, and the Japanese troops who entered the fire belt almost instantly lost more than 100, and the living ones were pressed to the position and could not move.
At this moment, Zeng Zesheng picked up the phone and said: "Brigade commander, I am Zeng Zesheng, I ask for artillery support, and the target is the front-line position of our army and all the belts under the mountain"!
"You withstand, I will immediately notify the artillery to bombard"! Wan Baobang said.
"Yes"!
Wan Baobang hurriedly picked up the phone and said: "The artillery regiment and the field artillery company concentrated their firepower to bombard the front-line positions of Zeng Zesheng's regiment, the largest base!" ā
"Yes!"
"Heavy artillery provides maximum support to the front-line firepower belt of Yang Hongyuan's regiment, two bases"!
"Yes"!
After putting down the phone, the battalion commander hurriedly walked out and said: "Heavy artillery revised target reinforcement 1086 regiment line, two bases, mountain artillery field artillery reinforcement 1085 regiment, the largest base!" ā
More than a dozen mountain guns and field artillery of the 60th Army's artillery regiment, and 12 field guns also revised their targets one after another, installed ammunition and began to bombard, and at this time, the heavy artillery had also been turned back, and a thigh-thick shell was stuffed into it. In the roar, shells whistled into the sky.
In the front of Yang Hongyuan's regiment, there was only one battalion of troops defending at this time, but the enemy who was advancing on the front was a large battalion of Japanese troops, and there was also bombardment by tanks and mortars.
At this moment, a sharp and piercing sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded on the canopy, and the commander of the first battalion in charge of defending this place shouted violently: "Pay attention to the anti-artillery"!
Before the words fell, everyone hurriedly bowed their heads or lay down in the trenches, but at this time, a violent explosion sounded in the Japanese army group attacking in the distance, and a shell happened to hit the side of a Japanese tank.
At the same time, a shell smashed directly into the middle of the two charging skirmishers, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were directly blown up, and some even their corpses had been blown to pieces.
Under the heavy artillery heavy damage, the Japanese attacking troops suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat, while the heavy artillery units began to extend their firing range and pursue the retreating Japanese troops.
"Haha, it turned out to be my own shell, which killed these dogs, mothers, and little devils haha! The battalion commander laughed.
"Rush to repair the fortifications, check the ammunition, our shells are not as expensive as the little devils, and when the shelling stops, they will come up again"!
On the position of Zeng Zesheng's regiment, our army's mountain artillery and field artillery also fired fiercely, and the mountain artillery and field artillery added up to dozens of guns, bombarding the Japanese army with the largest base firepower, blasting shells, burning bombs, and turning the entire hillside into a sea of fire, just when our army was shelling, Li Zuo hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and repair the fortifications, heavy machine guns, give me a hard fight!" ā
While the order was passed down, the infantry was quickly carrying ammunition and repairing fortifications, while a dozen Hatch Keys on the hill were also shooting at the retreating Japanese troops from a distance.
Hatch Chase not only has an excellent rate of fire, but also has a firing range of more than 3,000 meters, so Li Zuo will use Hatch Chase to shoot the Japanese army's fleeing troops, and at this time, the Japanese artillery also began to exert power, and a shell fell on the position where Li Zuo was stationed.
Li Zuo hurriedly shouted: "All retreat, garrison the last line of defense"!
Everyone hurriedly carried the ammunition and retreated, and the heavy machine guns also quickly withdrew to the rear under the swarming of a group of people, because the position was built relatively wide, and there were also square shells and the cover of the terrain, the damage caused by this round of Japanese artillery bombardment was not large, and after everyone withdrew from the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillery in the distance stuffed a poison gas bomb into the chamber and fired it at the position of Zeng Zesheng's regiment.
In the roar, there were bursts of white smoke rising from the position they were stationed on just now, Li Zuo had suffered this loss before, and hurriedly shouted: "It's poisonous gas!" Bring on your gas mask"!
Fortunately, they were still a hundred meters away from the middle position, and there were no casualties, and everyone hurriedly put the captured gas masks on their faces.
The follow-up reserve troops also hurriedly tied the strips of cloth prepared in advance to their noses.
The poison gas bombs were still being fired one by one, and the Japanese artillery was also diffraction firing, and some poison gas bombs also flew into the hilltop position, Li Zuo hurriedly shouted: "Those who do not have gas masks should quickly withdraw to the two wings, and those with gas masks should pay attention to the anti-artillery and hold their positions"!
On the side of Zeng Zesheng's regiment's position, the three battalions and the Japanese army were fighting fiercely, and the dense forest was full of gunfire, and the Japanese troops who pursued it took advantage of the cover of trees and the advantage of strength to launch a fierce offensive against the three battalions, as long as the battalion of less than 500 people was defeated, it could break Zeng Zesheng's flank defense line, end this damn battle, and be ashamed of the ninth division.
However, the third battalion tried to avoid direct confrontation with the Japanese army, fought and retreated, relying on the terrain to fight with the Japanese army in the mountains, and consumed a large amount of the Japanese army's vital strength, and most of the soldiers of the Yunnan army came from the 100,000 mountains of Yunnan, and they were very familiar with mountain and forest operations.
After half an hour of fighting, the Japanese army lost more than 200 people, and they were still blocked in this dense forest.
Chuntian Shaozuo, who was in charge of attacking here, frowned and said: "Organize death squads, regardless of these attacking Chinese troops, and forcibly fight them from the front!"
"Yes"!
A moment later, the Japanese army deployed again, formed a death squad of 200 people, tied a thousand needles like a feminine product to the door of the head, and launched a fierce charge towards the position of the third battalion, and the grenadier canisters and heavy machine guns of the follow-up troops also fired fiercely at the soldiers of the second company on the front position.
At the same time, the three Hatch Chase heavy machine guns of the second company fired fiercely at the Japanese death squad, and a bullet whistled into the chest of the Japanese army, but now the Japanese army is crazy, and still braves the fire of the second company to launch a fierce attack, at this time, the third battalion commander also took a company to shoot the Japanese bombardment troops from the side, but at this time the Japanese army is in a posture of forcibly breaking through, in addition to the necessary firepower to fight back, there is no intention to entangle with them.
Even under their firepower, the Japanese army suffered many losses, but now the Japanese army is tearing through the defense line of the three battalions from the front in one go.
At this time, the pressure of the second company was extremely great, and the Japanese firepower was almost bombarded towards the position of the second company, and the commander of the second company hurriedly ordered: "Retreat to the next line of defense"!
As the second company's fire was weak, the Japanese shock force also followed closely, just when the second company had just gained a foothold, the Japanese troops pursued again, and some of the remaining Japanese daredevils had even rushed to their positions, and in the explosion of grenades, the Japanese army blew up a Hatch Chase heavy machine gun of the second company with a suicide attack.
At the same time, the Japanese troops who were rapidly pursuing had already begun to rush to the position, and the second company commander's face changed: "Brothers, get on the bayonet and fight with them!" āļ¼ (To be continued.) )
