Chapter 782: Hand-to-hand Combat (3)

It did not take long for the combat units of the front line to receive an order from the command to attack.

The offensive was carried out by two combat regiments of the National Army and a battalion of the Marine Corps (which was not fully staffed).

In order to cooperate with the army troops crossing the river and landing at the fortress, the naval units of the national army dispatched several gunboats and several ships carrying troops.

The naval forces of the Nationalist Army still had several decent combat ships when the Japanese did not launch the Battle of Songhu.

However, during the Battle of Jiangyin, the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Nationalist Navy, were dealt a devastating blow by the Japanese fleet, and the Nationalist Navy's naval forces suffered heavy losses, and there were few advanced warships left.

The Nationalist Army and a small number of marines, armed with weapons and ammunition, crossed the river in various boats and stormed and landed at Madang Fortress.

The Madang defense line was impregnable, and a tight blockade line was arranged, and it was not so easy for the national army troops to land all of them.

The devil officers and soldiers on the fort defense line soon discovered the national officers and soldiers who had crossed the river by boat.

"It's not good, the attacking troops of China have crossed the river on all fronts!!"

"Damn, the artillery unit, the machine gun crew intercept them, don't let the follow-up Chinese soldiers land on the fortified defense line!!"

The commander of the devil hurriedly issued combat orders to the various departments, and the devil desperately blocked the attack of the national army's river-crossing troops.

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

"Da Da Da, Tu Tu ......"

A cacophony of gunfire rang out from the Madang defensive position.

Countless bullets and shells mixed with the line of fire poured down on the Nationalist troops crossing the river. 、

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The shells exploded in the waters around the boat, causing a series of water jets and splashes.

Then, a dense rain of bullets swept in, and the bullets struck the boat with a metallic sound.

Several ships were scarred by the incoming bullets, most of which were flying in all directions.

"Uhhh......h

Some of the soldiers sitting on the boat took refuge and were covered by the enemy.

Fortunately, the cabins around the ship were stacked with sacks to prevent the guns and bullets from killing and wounding.

The soldiers hid under the defensive walls, and the casualties caused were not very large.

Soon, the Nationalist troops crossing the river began to counterattack the enemy fire on the defensive line.

"Gunboat attack, gunboat quickly carry out artillery bombardment!!"

The gunboats in the river moved their barrels and aimed at the enemy positions in the distance to carry out artillery shelling.

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

"Tom, tom, tom......"

Several gunboats were scattered in the river, and the artillerymen were continuously reloading, and all the guns of all calibers on board were fired together.

The shells fell on the devil's position like rain, and the shells exploded everywhere, and wherever the devils had a firepower point, the shells covered the enemy's position.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The devil's shells flew over, and the boat's shells would immediately shoot back.

The two sides engaged in an artillery battle, attacking fiercely with artillery fire, and shells flying back and forth.

Shells kept falling into the river, and the flames were all over the sky, and the water on the river was splashing everywhere.

"Brothers, pay attention to concealment, beware of the devil's artillery fire, the machine gun team quickly suppresses the firepower!!"

The Nationalist machine gunners on the ship moved their machine guns, raised their muzzles one after another, and fired at the Japanese positions on the Madang defensive line.

"Da Da Da, Tu Tu !!"

Machine guns rang out on the river, and bullets and tracer bullets flew from the river to the Madang position.

Machine gun bullets rained down from mid-air, and the Japanese soldiers on the position suffered many casualties.

Bullets from the enemy splashed on the boat's sandbags, or burrowed into the river, splashing a string of water.

"All boats speed up and move forward!!"

The river-crossing troops of the Nationalist Army withstood the enemy's bullets and artillery rain and launched a full-line attack on Madang Fortress, which was not far away.

There were also two artillery regiments in the distance, and the artillery units were ploughing the ground to bombard the devil soldiers on the positions.

As soon as the devil's fire point is fired, there will be a dense area of shells covering it.

The distance from the river bank to the Madang fortress is about two kilometers of water, and although the enemy's firepower is not weak, it is simply impossible to prevent the landing of the troops crossing the river.

The two sides fought for more than ten minutes, and the soldiers of the national army successfully reached the shore of Madang Fortress with the help of boats.

"Brothers, rush, recapture Madang Fortress!!"

Thousands of soldiers quickly jumped from the ship and quickly set up defensive and fire positions.

The infantry rushed to the shore of the fortress, dispersed in stragglers, and then attacked all positions of the Madang Line at the same time.

Machine gunners and artillerymen in the rear continued to suppress fire, covering the landing of combat units at the fortress.

The main force of the national army arrived at the shore of Madang Fortress in a steady stream, and the officers and men of the national army rushed towards the enemy's position with all their might.

The fortifications of Madang Fortress are very tight, with countless bunkers and tunnel fortifications, as well as hidden bunker fire points.

The devils relied on strong fortifications to resist the charging national troops.

The national army was the attacking side, and the devils relied on pillboxes and bunker fortifications to defend, forming a fire blockade line, so the attacking troops had to pay several times more casualties than the enemy for each position they occupied.

Of course, the devil soldiers on various positions were not comfortable, and the national army troops charged desperately, organized many death squads, and caused great casualties to the enemy......

Under the cover of artillery and machine-gun fire, the soldiers of the national army attacked like a bamboo, quickly seizing the enemy's positions......

At this moment, the battle between the national army daredevils in the middle and the devil soldiers in the forward position was at a fever pitch, and the devil soldiers on the position were killed and crushed, and the enemy suffered heavy casualties.

The head of the devil's detachment, Kazutaro Miura, immediately sent two infantry squadrons to the forward position to support.

However, there were commandos of the security regiment on the position, and they provided the coordinates of the devil reinforcements to the artillery units of the national army.

Soon, the artillery units outside the Madang fortress changed the direction of the shelling, adjusting the height of fire in time.

The artillery fire of the two artillery regiments of the national army extended towards the forward positions of the devils, and they fiercely shelled the reinforcements of the devils.

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

"Tom, tom, tom......"

Dense shells flew in wave after wave, pouring like a sea of mountains around the positions of the devil's reinforcements.

"Baga, be careful of artillery fire, be careful of artillery fire, and quickly conceal !!"

The devil soldiers who rushed to the middle of the road suddenly heard the sound of cannonballs whistling and shouted in panic.

The devil soldiers immediately fled in panic, quickly looking for a hiding spot nearby.

Soon, a large number of shells exploded on the position. ,

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The explosions came and went, and the explosions and flames were connected together, and the flames engulfed the devil soldiers on the ground.
