Chapter 251: The Battle of Nanchang (5) (3rd Watch)

Beat! ”

Following Chen Wei's order, the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Battalion and the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Battalion of the 120th Regiment stationed on the east bank of the Ruzi Bridge pulled the trigger on the Japanese troops who attacked again.

As for fighting the Japanese army, Chen Wei is also experienced and knows that he can't put the Japanese army too close.

Because the Japanese army is keen on charging and fighting, and is also very good at it, if you wait for the Japanese army to get too close, it is to give the Japanese army a chance.

Another reason is that the Japanese army has grenadiers in their hands.

However, the width of the Fuhe River is only about 100 meters, and with such a wide riverbank, it is impossible for the 120th Regiment to prevent the Japanese army from using grenadiers.

Fortunately, the Chinese army did not set up positions on the banks of the Fuhe River, and there were people in the front-line positions, but they were not the main force.

The positions of the 120th Regiment on the east bank of the Fuhe River were mainly concentrated in the city wall, as well as the buildings of several factories on the bank, and the heavy machine guns were basically set up in these buildings.

In addition to this, the grenadiers of the Japanese army were the first target of the snipers of the 120 regiment.

Even if it couldn't stop the Japanese attack, the 120th Regiment could blow up the Ruzi Bridge and block the Japanese army on the opposite bank.

However, the 120th regiment will not blow up the bridge unless it is absolutely necessary.

If the bridge is blown up, the Japanese army will definitely make a detour, and then there will be a lot of pressure elsewhere.

Even under certain circumstances, he will find a way to put the Japanese tanks over, and the 120th Regiment still knows how to deal with the devil tanks, but the other troops cannot.

A rain of bullets fell, and more than a dozen Japanese troops fell.

However, the Japanese army's combat experience is really rich, and they all bend their bodies in unison, and then they turn from charging to a leaping forward attack that covers each other, which also means that the Japanese army has begun to pay attention to it and devote more energy to dealing with the Chinese army on the other side.

The Japanese army changed its offensive method, which made the soldiers of the 120th Regiment feel the pressure.

Because there were no obstacles on the bridge deck, the Japanese army found obstacles that could be used and piled them on the bridge, and sandbags, brick walls, and wood that could block bullets were all used by them.

There is no need to think about it, these obstacles were exchanged for the lives of the Japanese army, and many times the Japanese army was killed by the Chinese army as soon as they advanced the obstacles a little.

But as there were more and more obstacles on the bridge, the Japanese counterattack intensified.

Moreover, the Japanese did not pile obstacles directly on the bridge, but put them on both sides, and after advancing a certain distance, the Japanese tanks were dispatched.

Obviously, the Japanese wanted to use the tanks as a bullet block, and with the armor that bullets could not penetrate, they advanced towards the bridgehead on the east bank.

And those Japanese soldiers divided into several groups and lined up in a straggler formation to follow behind the tanks, jumping each other behind the tanks and bunkers, and their jumping movements were very flexible, which made the soldiers of the 120th Regiment a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, the Japanese army's marksmanship was very good, even if it was in a disadvantageous situation, it still hit many soldiers of the 120th Regiment with superb marksmanship.

With superior military qualities, the Japanese army quickly advanced to the bridge.

Seeing that the Japanese army was advancing so quickly, Chen Wei was a little anxious.

"Deputy regiment commander, give the order, if you don't blow up the bridge again, the devil's tank will come." Yang Yi was a little anxious.

At this time, the Japanese tanks were showing their might, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns fired unscrupulously, so that the Chinese troops on the east bank could not raise their heads.

Chen Wei glanced at the advancing Japanese army, gritted his teeth, "Blow up the bridge!" ”

Yang Yi, who received the order, immediately ordered his men to blow up the bridge, but when he pressed the detonator, the Ruzi Bridge did not break from the middle as expected, but collapsed halfway.

The explosives planted by the 120th regiment were on several piers in the middle of the bridge, and as long as these piers were blown up, the bridge would naturally collapse.

But now it is only half collapsed, although a few devils and a devil tank have fallen, but half of the bridge deck is left, just enough for a devil tank to pass.

This means that half of the explosives planted have not exploded, which is why this situation has occurred.

"What's going on? Why didn't the bridge collapse? Chen Wei asked.

Yang Yi didn't know, and immediately sent someone to see what was going on, but at this time the Japanese army had already reacted, and in order to prevent the Chinese army from blowing up the bridge, many Japanese troops rushed out of the bridge behind the tank and launched a suicide attack on the Chinese army position on the east bank.

The decisiveness and ruthlessness of the Japanese army are indeed incomparable to the armies of most countries in World War II, and with the Japanese charge, the defenders can only deal with the Japanese army, and it is difficult to ignite the remaining part of the explosives.

"He's damn it, he didn't blow it up!"

Seeing that the devil tank actually passed through the half-collapsed bridge deck, Yang Yi also felt a little angry.

"Drag our anti-tank guns out!"

Did the 120 regiment have anti-tank guns?

Yes, there is more than one.

The entire regiment had 4 anti-tank guns, but they were not equipped with them, but were captured earlier.

The model is the Type 94 37mm rapid-fire gun, which is a copy of the German KWK36 type 37mm anti-tank gun, which was a drawing purchased and improved by the Japanese army from Germany in previous years.

However, the Japanese army did not use armor-piercing shells, so at the same distance, it was not as strong as the German armor-piercing force.

But for the Type 94 tanks of the Japanese army, this anti-tank gun was more than enough.

Using Japanese anti-tank guns against Japanese tanks, it is estimated that the Japanese army will be angry to death.

Due to the proximity of the bridge and the collapse of a section on the bridge deck, when the 3rd Battalion pushed out the anti-tank guns and reloaded, the Japanese troops on the bridge deck had not yet reacted.

"Yaga, it's a rapid-fire cannon!"

"Boom!"

With a whistling sound, the 37mm armor-piercing bullet of the anti-tank gun flew straight out, and the devil tank in front of it, which had no time to turn, rose black smoke and lay on its stomach after a loud bang.

And at this time, the Chinese army launched a fierce counterattack, and all the artillery and bullets were poured on the bridge deck.

"Retreat, retreat!"

The Japanese army is not stupid, and if it continues to fight at this time, it will suffer great losses.

The Japanese army is not afraid of death, but it does not mean stupid!

After two failed attacks, the Japanese withdrew to the west bank, where they did not expect such stubborn resistance.

。。。。。。

"Commander, the devil has retreated!"

With more than 200 men killed, both Japanese attacks ended in failure, and with the stubborn resistance of Chinese troops on the west bank, they were unable to attack with all their might.

"It's just a temporary retreat, this is just the beginning, the main forces of the Japanese army have not yet arrived. When the main force of the Japanese army arrives, there will be more devils in front of us than that. "The previous battle, Leng Jie was also watching.

The building where the regiment headquarters is located is located in a relatively high geographical location, and you can still see the battle of Ruzi Bridge through the telescope.

"Do you want us to blow up the bridge? Otherwise, the devil will definitely make a comeback! Chen Wei suggested.

"Don't blow it up just yet!"

"Captain, we've found some traces of spies."

At this moment, Wang Guangming hurriedly came to the underground command room.
