Chapter 275: Artillery Coverage

When Li Yunlong was brewing a counterattack, Fujita Jin in the headquarters of the 3rd Division located on the north bank of the river was also a little sore in the brain!

In less than half a minute after the river bridge was blown up, Fujita Shinto could see it clearly.

This section of the river bridge, the possibility of temporary bridge building and encountering a new group of shelling The old devil also thought of it, and this thought suddenly made Fujita think of course his braincase!

"Division commander, the situation is not good. Kanichiro Ueno sent someone to report that the 18th and 34th Wings that crossed the river to the south bank had suffered heavy casualties. At present, there are only about 5,000 people left in the two divisions, and the ammunition of the two divisions has a base in addition to the shells in the hands of the artillerymen who cross the river after being dragged together, and the rest of the rifle ammunition can last for about an hour! But the ammunition consumption of light and heavy machine guns was too great, and they were only able to shoot bursts, and they were not able to hold out for twenty minutes at most. ”

The chief of staff of the 3rd Division, Tayuan Toshio Osa, walked to Fujita Shin's side from behind him on the muddy ground and said in a low voice!

When Fujita Shin heard this, his brows furrowed, and at this glance, the Japanese troops who crossed to the south bank were probably a little troublesome.

"Chief of Staff, what do you think?" Fujita Susumu pointed to the Japanese troops who were still fighting fiercely on the shore and asked with a serious expression.

Tian Yuan Lixiong solemnly suggested: "Division commander, I am afraid that Li Yunlong will concentrate his forces and counter-attack to eat the 18th Wing and 34th Wing of the 29th Brigade. Li Yunlong has this strength in his hands! Moreover, Wei County is a city that the new regiment has controlled for a long time, and they may have a large amount of reserve ammunition in the city, which is definitely stronger than the imperial army that I am pursuing! ”。

"Now the more than 2,000 people in the reserve of the division and regiment have launched a feint attack on the east and west of Wei County, and we no longer have a single force in our hands to reinforce the troops on the south bank of the river!"

Fujita Jin continued a little helplessly: "Report the current situation to Your Excellency the General, and ask Your Excellency the General for tactical guidance!" ”。

"Okay, division commander, I'll send someone to report to His Excellency the general immediately!"

Tian Yuan Lixiong nodded, there is only so much for now!

Soon, Toshio Taro sent someone to urgently report the emergency situation on the south bank to the temporary headquarters of Matsui Ishine, not far behind, and ask for tactical guidance.

After getting Fujita's report, Kagesa Zhenzhao immediately reported to Matsui Ishone!

"Eight Tooth Road! Ben has seen it all! A bunch of rubbish! Putting down the telescope in his hand and listening to Kagesa Zhenzhao's report, Matsui Shigen couldn't help but scold angrily.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was also a little helpless, Li Yunlong was too cunning, and actually blew up the big river bridge outside the north gate of Wei County, won't they leave in the future?

However, at this time, the river bridge was bombed, so the two Japanese units of the 3rd Brigade of the 29th Brigade of the Japanese Army that crossed the river to the south bank area were alone!

In any case, it is currently the majority of the Japanese army under the command of Matsui Ishine, and once it is completely annihilated on the south bank, Matsui Ishine should consider how to withdraw from Wei County at that time.

Otherwise, it is not impossible to follow in the footsteps of the 2nd and 6th Divisions.

After scolding for a while, Matsui knew that the fierce battle on the south bank was still there. From the binoculars, Matsui Ishine clearly saw that the Japanese troops of the 18th Wing and the 34th Wing of the Japanese Army had been suppressed by the dead fire of the defenders of the 1st and 4th Battalions of the New Regiment.

After rushing several times, the devils were beaten by the defenders and suffered heavy casualties. At present, the battle situation is anxious, and if a decision is not made as soon as possible, the two Japanese wings on the south bank are bound to be eaten by Li Yunlong, and it is not an impossible thing to do.

"Concentrate all the artillery, mortars, low-level fire, artillery fire to cover the two wings of the 29 brigade regiment! From the reserves, 2,000 men were drawn and immediately bridged with some of the fishing boats that we had looted. Once the bridge is successfully built, order the Imperial troops who have crossed to the south bank to immediately retreat and cross the north bank! "Matsui Ishine is not sure whether Li Yunlong will counterattack, but with the current combat effectiveness of the new regiment, if he concentrates his forces to counterattack, the 18th Wing and the 34th Wing may be more than lucky.

When Kage Sazhen heard this, his face was solemn, "Hai, Your Excellency the General, I will give Fujita Jin an order immediately!" ”

Then, Matsui Ishine allocated more than 2,000 people from the last 4,000 Japanese reserves in his hands, and immediately handed them over to Fujita Shin to command, and gathered the remaining parts of the fishing boats that had carried the 18th Wing and the 34th Wing across the south bank and were still surviving from the new artillery bombardment!

However, at this time, Matsui Shigen's movements were very fast, and the artillery counterattack of Wang Chengzhu of the new regiment was also overwhelming.

At this time, Takeuchi Soki and Yokota Deer also commanded their respective wings of Japanese troops to maintain a light attack posture on the defenders' positions, but at this time, from the city of Ul County, there was a loud rumbling sound from the rear of the positions of the 1st and 4th battalions.

Then, the old devil Takeuchi planted trees and Yokota deer raised their heads in unison and looked at the sky.

One by one, the shells whistled with tail flames and fell down on the hiding places of the devil soldiers of the 18th and 34th Wings of the Japanese Army, and the piercing sound of the shells whistled made the devil's scalp tingle.

What frightened both Takeuchi and Yokota Shiki at the same time was that behind the forward positions of the defenders of the 1st and 4th Battalions, streamers suddenly shot down like a parabola towards the hiding places of the Japanese troops.

Seeing this scene, Takeuchi planted trees and Yokota deer, as well as Miki Jiro, Kamiya Assyria and other senior officers at all levels of the devil wing were horrified.

This is clearly a new regiment of concentrated artillery bombardment, as well as heavy machine gun overshooting, this is all a counterattack!

"Eight Tooth Road! Quickly send orders to all departments, hurry up and hide! Takeuchi Soeki, who was the first to react, roared at the chief of staff Miki Jiro beside him!

Miki Jiro was awakened by a roar from Takeuchi Plant, and in an instant, he sent someone to order all departments to immediately find a place to hide.

It wasn't just Takeuchi who came back to his senses and did this, but so did the 34th Wing Commander Yokota Shika, but when they had already seen signs of a new regiment's artillery counterattack, it was too late to hurriedly order concealment.

I saw that with Li Yunlong's order, Wang Chengzhu, who had made preparations for a concentrated artillery counterattack within five minutes, waved his hand and ordered all the artillery soldiers to open artillery and bombard all Japanese units.

Outside the north gate of Wei County, the devil soldiers of the 18th Wing and the 34th Wing of the Japanese Army who crossed the river to the south bank area looked for a place to hide at this time, and found that there was not a single tree everywhere, and the low-lying places were filled with mud by the defenders without leaving a trace.

With the defenders' artillery fire, light and heavy machine guns overtook the fire, and suddenly the Japanese 18th Wing and the 34th Wing of the devil soldiers were covered by the artillery fire of the defenders' counterattack!

"Boom, boom!!!"

"Dadada, da, dada!!!!"

..........

Artillery shells and machine gun bullets fell one after another, and bursts of explosions occurred one after another, and the Japanese soldiers who were blown up cried for their fathers and mothers. And the light and heavy machine gun fire also hit some devil soldiers hiding in low depressions, and the screams suddenly spread.
