Chapter 247: The Battle of Nanchang (1) (2nd Update)

These double-spearmen of the Qianjun really can't do it, how can they fire so early, doesn't this expose the firepower in advance? ”

In the window on the second floor of a residential building, Li Jichang couldn't help but complain when he saw that the Qianjun army was still four or five hundred meters away.

The consequence of premature firing was that some of the Qianjun's firepower points were knocked out by the devils' grenadiers before they could kill a few devils.

The grenadier can't do anything else, and the machine gun position is called a thief.

The veterans of the 40th Division all know the power of this guy, and they are also using it, and they also know how to defend against it.

"Sir, your marksmanship is so good that you can hit the devil's head so far. A headshot! A young soldier next to him looked at Li Jichang with admiration.

"My marksmanship is average, you haven't seen the regiment commander, and I can give you a headshot at 500 meters." Li Jichang shook his head and said.

While speaking, Li Jichang also began to change bullets.

After the adjustment of the establishment, Li Jichang was still the deputy battalion commander and company commander, but he was the company commander of the third battalion and the seventh company.

Although Leng Jie's position was in the main urban area on the east bank of the Fuhe River, there were still two companies of soldiers on the west bank of the Fuhe River, not for anything else, just to consume the devil's troops.

"Really? Is the head of the regiment really that powerful? The young soldier asked.

This soldier's name is Li Weiguo, and it is said that his father changed his name when he went to the front, which is to defend the country. He is only 19 years old this year, and he joined the army after a month of recruit training, and he is a native of Jiangxi.

In addition to being a company commander, Li Jichang is also one of the snipers trained by Leng Jie.

Of Leng Jie's 4 observers at the beginning, except for Guo Yingzhan who died in Suzhou, the other three were quite good.

However, only Wang Guangming and him are still working as snipers, and Daniel Zhang is now a battalion commander, how can he be a dangerous sniper.

"That's nature, the regiment commander is a legend, and I don't know if I can see him pick up a sniper rifle." Li Jichang shook his head, then raised his gun and put it on the window, "Wei Guo, I will teach you the essentials of being a sniper, that is, the target of sniping must be valuable."

That devil lieutenant just now was one, and now it's a grenadier.

Remember, on the battlefield, if you can give priority to the grenadiers of the devils, then solve the grenadiers, that is the biggest threat. ”

Saying that, Li Jichang decisively pulled the trigger again, and a devil soldier who was aiming at a heavy machine gun position of the 102nd Division was about to release artillery shells, and in the next second, a bloody flower appeared on the head of this devil.

The cannonball in his hand was also put into the barrel, but because the barrel was crooked, it flew directly into the devil soldiers in front.

With a bang, the two devils were blown away.

"Yaga, the people of China have snipers!"

Seeing that Second Lieutenant Ikeda and a grenadier were killed by one after another in the head, Jiro Sato couldn't guess why.

It's just that he wonders why there are snipers in the Chinese army in front of him.

Hearing the sniper, these Japanese soldiers were instantly frightened, and their faces were a little more vigilant, and they looked cautiously ahead, for fear that they would become the next target.

Just after one of the light machine gunners was hit, the Japanese discovered the sniper's location.

"Yaga, at eleven o'clock, the machine gun is shooting at me!"

"Da Da Da!"

One of the devils directly adjusted the muzzle of the gun, so that the light machine gun fired a round of bullets in the direction of the sniper.

However, Li Jichang had already evacuated the previous sniper point with the observers and moved to the next place.

Originally, Jiro Sato planned to tear through the defense line of the Chinese army in one go, but in the end he failed, and after more than 20 soldiers died, he chose to retreat.

It is conceivable that in the 10 minutes of fighting just now, the Japanese army actually killed only more than 20 people.

Soon Sato Jiro made a comeback, but this time it was not just infantry, but also a dozen tanks and armored vehicles.

The 9th Independent Tank Squadron has more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles, this tank squadron belongs to the light tank squadron, and the tanks are Type 94 ultralight tanks and Type 92 cavalry armored vehicles.

Speaking of tanks, the Type 94 ultralight tank is actually not as heavy as the Type 92 cavalry armored car, the former has a 7.7mm machine gun or a 37mm tank gun, and the latter has a 13.2mm heavy machine gun and a 6.5mm light machine gun.

It's not that there are no better tanks, both Type 95 tanks and Type 89 tanks are available, but they are all waiting for fuel supplies on the other side of the Gan River, otherwise they won't be able to drive.

Seeing the devil dispatch the tank, Li Jichang knew that it was not easy to fight, he brought two companies over, and now it is not a good thing to do it with the devil tank.

"Give the order to go down, retreat, retreat to the second line of defense."

"Deputy battalion commander, what about the 102nd Division?" Someone asked.

"Do you still have air traffic control for them? They all started running. ”

It was not Li Jichang who slandered, but the 102nd Division had begun to retreat at this time.

I don't know if it was the order of the division commander Bai Huizhang, or the soldiers below were frightened when they saw the devil dispatch the tank, and they had already begun to retreat.

Speaking of retreat, it is really lifting them, and they are all running fast.

"Regiment commander, the 102nd Division wants to cross the river!"

Originally, according to the plan, the 102nd Division retreated to the second line of defense on the west bank of the Fuhe River, where simple fortifications were built, and the defense could be carried out with various buildings.

How could they retreat to the city on the first day, and street fighting was not fought like this.

"So fast? Didn't they let them hold out until the night? Why did you withdraw now? Leng Jie hurriedly stood up and asked.

"The 102nd Division said that the devils had dispatched tanks, and they couldn't stop it, so they wanted to withdraw to the east bank of the Fuhe River. The 2 battalion guarded the bridgehead and did not let them cross, but they intended to break in. Chen Wei said anxiously.

"Where are they?"

"Just across the Fuhe Bridge, Wang Sen couldn't hold on."

"What?"

The 102nd Division's routs were at least a few thousand, and if they all rushed into Nanchang City, wouldn't all the positions have to be crushed.

What if the Japanese army took the opportunity to rush in?

Saying that, Leng Jie came to Fuhe Bridge in person.

The Fuhe Bridge is just outside the Huimin Gate, and if it is withdrawn from the west bank, it is undoubtedly the fastest. This is also why Leng Jie put the 2nd Battalion here, because it will definitely be attacked by the Japanese army.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Japanese army will attack from the Ruzi Bridge and Zhongshan Bridge in the north.

When Leng Jie arrived at the scene, the 102nd Division on the opposite side had already planned to break through, and on the west bank of the Fuhe River, the Japanese army also entered the city area and exchanged fire with the Chinese troops defending there.

"Let us go, or we'll break in!"

"Yes, why are we defending over here, you guys are watching over there, let us go."

For a while, some of these routs were in a surge, and they were ready to break through if they didn't agree with each other.

"Command the light machine gun to fire a warning, and if they break in, shoot them directly!"

Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Leng Jie decisively ordered.

Undoubtedly, this order must have been somewhat risky, as there is a high risk of shooting friendly soldiers.

But after receiving Leng Jie's order, Wang Sen also had the confidence to directly order a few machine guns to fire at the bridge deck in front of the routed soldiers gathered at the bridgehead on the opposite bank.

For a time, there were a lot of bullet marks on the bridge deck on the west bank of the Fuhe River.
