Chapter 791: Stay on the side

"Ha, haha, if the time of Lei Yunfeng is ten minutes slower than ours, is our 46th Brigade just waiting stupidly? I think it's better to attack first and wake this bastard up with the sound of gunfire. Chief of Staff Sun said angrily.

Because the two commanders of the 46th Brigade have been commanding the troops in the past three days, they have engaged in a fierce battle for position with the attacking Guanshan Feizhong Wing on the Dongyuan defensive line, and they rushed to the front line in the first place, and the watch they wore did not adjust the time in time, so there was an eleven-minute error with the time of the general attack that Lei Yunfeng decided to launch.

Just when the two commanders saw that the time had exceeded the time to launch the general attack, and the 54th Regiment led by Lei Yunfeng, who was behind the enemy, had not yet fired the first shot, and the two were very impatient, they suddenly burst into gunfire behind the enemy.

Brigade Commander Kong decisively ordered the troops to immediately launch the most ferocious attack on the Guanshan Feizhong Wing, in order to cooperate with the 54th Regiment to launch a full-scale counteroffensive on the Dongyuan defensive line.

Lei Yunfeng saw that the time was up, and gave the order to launch a general attack.

First of all, the mortar units equipped and concentrated by the battalions of the 54th Regiment entered the position in advance according to the pre-war deployment, and at this time, after receiving the order, dozens of shells came out of their disembowels, dragging orange flames, and flew in an arc in the air.

A large number of shells landed on the enemy's artillery position, making a strong explosion sound that the ground shook and the mountains shook.

When the soldiers of the 46th Brigade heard the deafening sound of shell explosions coming from the enemy's artillery position, they at first mistakenly thought that the enemy had received information in advance, and preemptively launched a pre-dawn attack on the 46th Brigade's eastern position under the cover of artillery fire.

But soon they thought that a huge explosion occurred at the enemy's artillery position, and it was very likely that the enemy's mortar blew up, causing a series of explosions of ammunition, which caused such a big noise.

Because they would not have thought that the 54th Regiment, which was disabled in the first line of defense of the Yongji Defense Battle, would never have such a powerful artillery strike capability.

When they found that the Japanese artillery positions were emitting loud explosions from time to time, and they also found that from the night sky behind the enemy, shells dragging orange flames were whizzing down on the enemy's artillery positions, and then they were sure that the friendly forces were using powerful artillery fire to destroy the enemy's artillery positions.

The chief of staff of the 46th Brigade Sun watched the continuous shells flying from behind the enemy to the Japanese artillery position and exploding, not only shouted in surprise: "Brigade seat, do you believe that this is the artillery of the 54th Regiment?" ”

"I'm also wondering how a disabled 54th Regiment could suddenly have so many mortars, if I hadn't known in advance that the 54th Regiment would cooperate with our brigade to launch a general attack on the Guanshan Feizhong Wing before dawn, I would never have believed that this artillery unit that appeared behind enemy lines would actually be owned by the 54th Regiment."

"No, I don't believe that Lei Yunfeng with a disabled 54th regiment, in just one month, will have so many mortars, it must be a friendly artillery unit, I don't know how to be bewitched by Lei Yunfeng, come to cheer for the general offensive operation."

"Chief of Staff Sun, our troops have launched an all-round offensive against the Guanshan Feizhong Wing, and the general offensive campaign deployed this time has put all the weapons and equipment of our 46th Brigade into this battle.

Once the Dongyuan Campaign is over, our brigade will not be able to receive timely replenishment of weapons and ammunition, and if it is besieged by the enemy, I am afraid that it will inflict extremely heavy costs on our brigade. ”

Hearing what Brigade Commander Kong said, Chief of Staff Sun took a deep breath and said, "Commander Wei ordered our brigade to pour all its weapons and cooperate with the 54th Regiment to launch the largest counteroffensive against the enemy on the Dongyuan defensive line, which is inherently very adventurous.

If the 54th Regiment lacks the strength and weaponry and sneaks up behind enemy lines, but is surrounded by a powerful enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable, and our 46th Brigade, which is attacking from the front, will be hit hard by the enemy, I am afraid that it will ....... "Colorful Chinese

Just when Chief of Staff Sun expressed his worries, he found that the powerful artillery attack launched from the enemy's rear destroyed the Japanese artillery position, and at the same time, the artillery fire immediately extended to the Japanese garrison, and one shell after another exploded in the enemy camp.

With the powerful blow of artillery fire, the Japanese base camp was suddenly filled with gunsmoke and flames, enveloping the entire enemy camp in artillery fire.

Under the cover of artillery fire, fierce gunfire could be heard from behind enemy lines, as well as overwhelming shouts of rushing and killing resounded in the sky, and the 54th Regiment launched the most ferocious general attack on the Guanshan Feizhong Wing.

The 46th Brigade, which was responsible for attacking the enemy head-on, was counterattacked by the enemy's frantic firepower, and was suddenly suppressed by the enemy's powerful firepower and could not raise its head, and passively held its position and could not launch an attack on the enemy camp.

The 46th Brigade, which had suffered a setback in its attack, did not expect that when it was suddenly attacked by front and rear firepower, the Japanese commander would quickly adjust his forces, first suppressing the enemy's firepower on the frontal battlefield with the most ferocious firepower, intending to gather the main force to launch a counterattack against the strong enemy who appeared behind him.

Lei Yunfeng rode on a war horse and stood on a higher ground, blessed his eyesight to the extreme, and looked at the entire battlefield to the extreme, and found that the attack of the 46th Brigade was blocked, and there was no way to launch an attack if the firepower was suppressed by the enemy.

He ordered Fang Shichao: "Ah Chao, you lead two earth armored vehicles to break through the enemy's fire blockade, quickly reinforce the 46th Brigade, and cover the 46th Brigade with the fiercest firepower to attack the enemy." ”

He shouted to the reconnaissance platoon commander Wang Shoucheng: "You led the reconnaissance platoon to cover the car team, closely followed behind the two earthen armored bodies that opened the road in front, crossed the blockade line of the positions of the enemy and us, and successfully brought the transport team to the rear of the 46 Brigade to stand by. ”

Wang Shoucheng waved his hand and ordered the cavalry soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon: "Quickly protect the transport convoy through the positional blockade line, even if you sacrifice everything, you must safely escort the transport convoy to the rear of the 46th Brigade and set off." ”

Li Guiyong, the captain of the Cheetah Commando, immediately stepped forward and asked: "Tuanza, now that all the units of the 54th Regiment are fighting the enemy on the front line, are we, the cavalry Cheetah Commando, just following you and watching people eat meat, we can't even drink soup?" ”

"What's the hurry? Rest assured, you are iron, you are steel, steel will be used on the blade, according to my analysis, the battle of Dongyuan will not end soon, the enemy and us will definitely start a battle of life and death on the Dongyuan front, and then you will have the opportunity to show your skills. ”

"Tuanza, otherwise I will have a good time with the Cheetah Commando to the front line, and then come back to stand by, okay?"

"Execute the order, stay and go, what so much nonsense." Lei Yunfeng no longer paid attention to Li Guiyong's clamor in front of him, and focused his main energy on the Dongyuan battlefield.

The 46th Brigade of the Western Route Army and the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, the Inoue Yong Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the Guanshan Hizhong Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army lined up along this defense line.

The enemy and us have launched many offensive and counteroffensive operations, and the number of troops invested has always shown that we are outnumbered, but the enemy's weaponry and logistical support have a great advantage over the 46 Brigade.

The Guanshan Feizhong Wing is equipped with an artillery squadron, a light and heavy machine gun squadron, two infantry squadrons, a grenadier squadron, an engineer squadron, and a cavalry squadron.

Although the 46th Regiment had an advantage in strength, it had ...... in terms of weapons, ammunition and logistical support.
