Wan Zhairen arrived at Huyang Town and immediately convened an operational meeting of the whole regiment. Although Han Xing was a guest, Wan Zhairen considered that this Han Xing was not an ordinary person and belonged to a second-class character, so he also invited Han Xing and treated him as a guest.

The meeting was held in an ordinary farmhouse in Huyang Town, and Wan Zhairen first introduced the three battalion commanders to Han Xing, saying: "This is Han Shengtao, the commander of the third battalion, who discovered the enemy in Wangzhuang." ”

Han Shengtao gave a military salute to Han Xing and said, "I am Han Shengtao, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 11th Regiment, please give instructions to the commander." ”

Han Xing also gave him a military salute and said: "I am Han Xing of the Southern Expeditionary Army, we can't write two Korean characters in one stroke, we were all one family five hundred years ago." ”

Wan Zhairen immediately introduced Shen Jinsheng, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, and the commander of the 1st Battalion. He also introduced Han Xing to the three battalion commanders and said: "This is the well-known commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Han Xing, who terrified the Japanese army, and he will also cooperate with us in action." ”

The three battalion commanders immediately gave a standard military salute to Han Xing.

Wan Zhairen said to the three battalion commanders: "Under normal circumstances, only a division dares to poke at the enemy's brigade. Sun Tzu also said that five times the strength of the army can surround the enemy, and only three times the strength of the army can attack the enemy. We are a regiment, about the same strength as the enemy. Let me ask you first, do you dare to poke this group of enemies? ”

"Dare!" The three battalion commanders said in unison.

"Good!" Wan Zhairen loudly encouraged his subordinates and said, "As long as you have this kind of strength that is not afraid of death and is not afraid of hardness, you can fight against the little devil." ”

Han Xing couldn't help but be moved by the 11th regiment's spirit of hating the same enemy and being arrogant. Han Xing knew that Tang Enbo's troops were not only well equipped, but also that there were many veterans in the army who were not afraid of death. Now I have seen it.

Wan Zhairen didn't have any nonsense, and immediately said to the three battalion commanders: "Okay, then I'll give the order." The 1st Battalion served as a reserve and was on alert in the direction of Xinyang to stop enemy reinforcements. The 2nd Battalion attacked from the north of Wangzhuang to the south, and the 3rd Battalion attacked from the south of Wangzhuang to the north, and the two battalions pincerized the enemy. Do you have any comments? ”

"No, we are determined to complete the task." The three battalion commanders said in unison.

Han Xing listened to their words and was quite excited, not only were they wearing uniform clothes and equipment, but even the tone of their speech was similar. It seems that this is the result of many years of military education.

"Let me say a word," if Han Xing didn't speak again, they would have to go on their own missions, and there would be no more opportunities to speak. Han Xing said: "For the troops of the 2nd and 3rd battalions attacking, I will each send a battalion to assist you in attacking the enemy together. ”

"Thank you then." Wan Zhairen looked at Han Xing's eyes and said happily.

At this moment, a staff officer came in and reported: "The military headquarters has transferred a mountain artillery company with two 75-mm mountain artillery batteries to support our attack on Wangzhuang. ”

"Great!" Wan Zhairen patted his thigh excitedly and said, "This is really a charcoal in the snow, what we need most is the support of heavy artillery, now it's okay, it's enough for the little devil to drink a pot." ”

The 11th regiment, in accordance with the order of Wan Zhairen, immediately launched the operation.

Han Xing also immediately ordered himself and the guard battalion to attack the enemy from the south of Wangzhuang to the north along with the troops of Han Shengtao of the 3rd Battalion, and a battalion of Liu Zhiyuan, who had just gotten off the helicopter, quickly followed a battalion of Shen Jinsheng of the 2nd Battalion to attack the enemy in Wangzhuang from north to south.

In the dark night, there is only the mood of black. How many people, covering their chests and wailing. In the mourning, it is like a nation howling. What is hidden is a nation sending a signal for help. Death is nothing more than the decay of the body. The soul will never succumb to perish.

Looking up at the sky, the moonlight shines through the clouds, pouring down a dim light, the shadows are stretched, close your eyes, breathe deeply, listen carefully, and your heart beats calmly. Taste the war, feel the sacrifice, the calm before the fierce battle is also so intriguing.

The wish to lament the shooting stars crossing the sky in the summer is a little unrealistic when I think about it now. Bullets rained down, bullets flew sideways, why do you want to be an only child, just to survive, that's a fluke!

Throwing red beans, pillow acacia, tears into two lines, under the moonlight, the path that we walked together in the old days seems particularly quiet, strolling on it, there is no quiet oil lamp in the house. A little less decadence, a little more sorrow! It turns out that when people are alive, loneliness will be so strong, quietly taste life! Maybe after a while, there will be no more such reviews!

At this time, it was dawn on the 15th, and the troops were in the process of moving, and the Japanese troops on alert had discovered that their 38 big canopies were making a "whooshing" sound in the air, which was to report to their commanders that the Chinese army's offensive had begun.

The Japanese troops were well-trained and methodically and quickly deployed outside the village. It was too late to dig trenches temporarily, and the Japanese army quickly dug individual fortifications, and as long as they had a little time, they were digging deep into the loess around them, just like rats digging holes.

The rat hole is deep, and when it is connected again, it becomes a series of trenches.

Han Xing didn't speak for the time being, watching how Han Shengtao organized this battle. On the battlefield in the northeast, a squad of the Japanese army could run with a division of the Northeast Army, and it was all frightened by the Japanese army. Here, Townebo's troops, a regiment dared to attack a brigade of the enemy, courage alone was not enough, but also enough wisdom.

Han Shengtao didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he said to the reconnaissance platoon commander: "Quickly indicate the target to the mountain artillery and ask the mountain artillery to bombard the Japanese position." ”

The reconnaissance platoon commander was equipped with radio communication and immediately called to the artillerymen: "Artillery, artillery, I am the 3rd battalion, request artillery support." ”

The two mountain guns fired a few shells first, and the reconnaissance platoon commander immediately said: "100 meters to the right, rapid fire!" ”

"Boom--" Two artillery shots, two 75-millimeter mountain artillery shells, mercilessly bombarded the Japanese position, and the Japanese troops were full of flesh and blood, and they suffered unspeakably. Because there was no concealment of trenches, and there were no thick bulletproof concealment fortifications, the Japanese army suffered a great loss. 75-mm shells, with a killing area of 50 or 60 meters, are small personal bunkers, which are difficult to block the bombardment of heavy artillery.

Despite lying on the ground, many Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded.

Six seconds later, two more shells fell on the Japanese positions. The 75mm mountain gun can fire 10 shells per minute, that is, one round every 6 seconds. At such a speed, it's enough for little Japan to drink a pot.

The Japanese brigade also has artillery, they have a 55-man artillery platoon, including a 10-person platoon, a 15-person ammunition squad, and two 15-person artillery squads each equipped with a 70mm Type 92 infantry gun.

However, the enemy's artillery was trapped in a narrow space in the village, and could only blindly attack our positions, and it was difficult to hurt the artillery on our periphery. In addition, the Japanese army did not dare to fire artillery frequently, and once the gun position was exposed, it was possible to be killed by our artillery.

In the artillery arrays of both sides, the Japanese infantry artillery did not have the upper hand.

Then there is the duel of heavy machine guns, the Japanese brigade has a machine gun squadron of 174 people, including a company of 14 people, 3 machine gun platoons, and 1 ammunition platoon. 4 heavy machine guns per platoon, that is, heavy machine guns of the three-year type, a total of 12 units.

In Town's troops, the regiment also had a heavy machine gun company, equipped with 6 heavy machine guns, 1 mortar platoon, and 2 82mm mortars. And there were also light machine gun companies in each platoon.

On these firepowers, Towneberg's troops also did not seem to have the upper hand. Moreover, the mortar is mainly used to combat heavy machine guns, and the heavy machine gun must be half a meter higher than the average person, with this height, for the mortar, the dead angle can be avoided to the greatest extent.

Soon, the firepower of Han Shengtao's 3rd battalion suppressed the firepower of the Japanese army. As long as the firepower is in the first place, the next step is to organize an attack.

Han Shengtao called the commander of a company to him and said to him solemnly: "Start attacking, always be careful, you are testing the enemy's strength." Pay attention to concealment, fight hard, and the important thing is to kill and wound the enemy's forces. ”

Han Xing listened to Han Shengtao's orders and was also very good, not like some troops, just desperate. Fought out his own troops, and the enemy was not destroyed.

The commander of the first company agreed: "Yes!" "Immediately led a company to attack the enemy.

At this time, just in front of the enemy's position, the Japanese had already lit up all the flammable materials that could be illuminated, including broken doors and windows, rotten straw, collected furniture, etc., for the purpose of lighting. Also, it doesn't take long for the human eye to become familiar with the nocturnal environment, and once you are familiar with this environment, there is nothing to hide.

The piles of fires on the position illuminated the earth as bright as day, and the Japanese army hid in the shadows, and the company attacked in the open.

All the heavy machine guns and light machine guns of the third battalion were covering the charge of a company. To the north of Wangzhuang, the second battalion also began to attack, and there were fierce gunfire and shouts of killing.

The commander of the first company roared: "Forward-" The whole company of more than 100 people was rapidly leaping forward. When they reached the front of the fire, the commander of the first company shouted again: "Lie down," and the whole company quickly lay down again.

The Japanese army was also quite smart, and outside the effective range of the rifle, the Japanese simply did not shoot. And the heavy firepower of the Japanese army was suppressed by the firepower of China.

The commander of the first company shouted again: "The first platoon is in the front, the second platoon, the third platoon is in the back, crawling forward-"

The whole company was on its side, with its left hand in front and slashing forward, holding a gun in its right hand, and crawling on its two legs, so that the whole body jumped forward rapidly.

The company was already within the effective range of the enemy's rifles. This also saw the accurate shooting ability of the Japanese army, and the infantry hiding behind the fortifications did not die, and intermittent gunfire rang out. As soon as the shots rang out, the soldiers of the first company were either wounded or killed. By the time they rushed fifty or sixty meters in front of the enemy's fortifications, the company had already suffered dozens of casualties.

If you really attack with a straight waist, the casualty rate will definitely be higher.
