Chapter 368: Hard Attack
Attack the torpedo battalion!
The torpedo battalion is a small sailor equipment base for the southern region army since the late Qing Dynasty.
There are some barracks facilities.
After the Battle of Songhu area, the Japanese army marched west along the Yangtze River, which was unstoppable, and in order to stop the enemy's attack, the national army built a large number of fortresses in this area.
There was before, and later, it was further reinforced.
The terrain of the torpedo battalion is very ingenious, and it is not a large mountain bag, which is very similar to the large number of hills attacked by Hanfeng's troops.
Looking at it now, there are many trenches, bunkers, pillboxes, and the barrels of the Japanese guns sticking out densely, which makes people's scalps tight.
Look, and protect well to conquer.
Because, the Japanese army was shocked by the battle of the Pagoda Bridge, and they have been strengthening the fortress, digging a large number of trenches, and deepening and widening them, forming trenches to block tanks.
Han Feng was on the Pagoda Bridge position, urging the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Around me, there are a number of staff officers, some of whom are former members of the national army, and some of whom are young intellectuals who can read and write, and they should be trained. Net starter
Try the offense first.
Through telegraph contact, Han Feng on the northern front, Ye Zheng and Zhao Zhixiong on the southern front all sent troops to attack the enemy's position.
A platoon, more than thirty people, very scattered.
Artillery and machine-gun fire was fired and strafed at the enemy's side.
Grenadiers were not used, because, the enemy was scattered, all in the trenches, and it was too wasteful for you to send out grenades, which were for striking at dense enemy infantry groups.
The offense was cautious from the start.
The Japanese kept calm and waited for our troops to approach 300 meters before starting to snipe.
A few minutes later, all the attacking troops were killed.
Han Feng immediately asked everyone to adjust their forces, observe the terrain, and prepare for a new attack.
Let the firing points be arranged against the enemy's firing points, and each unit will be divided into companies and platoons to further practice the tactical coordination of how to attack.
Half an hour later, our army attacked again, this time, using a scale above the battalion level, with tank crews as the lead, and launched a surprise attack.
The artillery also made an advance strike against the enemy.
The north and south sides of the torpedo battalion were carried out simultaneously, and the Chinese troops in the area of the Pagoda Bridge, not to mention, used the high ground to set up artillery fire and bombard the Japanese troops.
Han Feng watched the battle from the rear.
The Japanese army was very tenacious, fought to the death, probably well-trained, very good at self-cover, using the terrain, to attack the Chinese army.
The Chinese army is magnificent and brave, and it has gone forward one after another.
The tank gave full play to the role of cover, and in the first stage of the charge, it kept covering in front of the infantry, constantly eliminating the fire points of the devils.
The Japanese army had four small heights as support points on a position of 2 square kilometers, and there were several trenches and bunkers on the periphery.
The Japanese machine-gun fire, repeatedly moving, evading the capture of our artillery fire.
All kinds of wits and courage.
In front of the first deep trench, the tank had to stop, cover the infantry, use the occupied enemy trench, hide itself, and confront the enemy.
Tanks, played an absolutely significant role, anyway, the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery was either destroyed by our army's blows, or hidden and did not dare to use, tank guns, against the enemy's points of fire, constantly aiming, blasting.
It's a real battle.
Fortunately, there are no permanent fortifications here, and if there are reinforced concrete fortifications such as fortresses and underground tunnels, it is not easy to manage, and even tank guns cannot destroy them.
The infantry, under the cover of the tanks, quickly occupied the trenches and filled the large trenches with iron drills, opening the passage for the tanks to advance.
At this time, the Japanese launched a counterattack.
Many Japanese troops came out of the communication trenches and attacked the Chinese army.
The enemy's communication trenches were built in all directions, and they could quickly and covertly approach, and at one point, the Chinese infantry were repulsed.
The enemy also re-excavated the moats with filled dirt.
Many enemies also bombarded the tanks of the Chinese army.
Detonate with cluster grenades, detonate with explosives packs.
The enemy also used firewood and grass soaked in oil and threw it in front of the tank and burned it.
The Japanese army was very fierce.
But all these efforts were in vain!
The officers and men of the Chinese army, keeping in mind Han Feng's order, fully cooperated with the infantry and tank crews, and the infantry began to waver a little, and then, bravely counterattacked, reinforcing the tanks.
Tank units, too, began to maneuver to avoid being besieged by the enemy, especially by fire.
Diesel fuel, although not too afraid of fire, can not be careless.
The tank's machine guns fired fiercely at the enemy, completely sweeping down the crowds of enemies.
The Japanese army shouted wildly, thinking that by repelling the Chinese infantry, they could wipe out all the tank troops, but they suffered a big loss.
The flames did not reach the tanks, but burned many Japanese soldiers.
A detonation grenade will not damage a tank at all, only a large explosive pack.
Only one Japanese group succeeded, blowing up the left track of one of our tanks and could no longer move.
"Quick, charge, destroy the tanks of the China, this is our only chance!" Several Japanese officers, squadron leaders, squad leaders, brandished sabers and encouraged officers and men to fight.
It was the fiercest battle of the day.
The fierce battle here attracted Han Feng's attention, and he immediately mobilized grenadiers.
So, four grenade launchers, fiercely bombarded the enemy.
The grenades that bombarded indiscriminately rained down, turning the Japanese troops into dust piece by piece.
The Japanese army left more than 100 corpses and more than 50 wounded soldiers on the position, and fled back.
Taking advantage of the victory, the Chinese infantry pursued and occupied the first line of trenches, opening them again.
This time, instead of tank groups, the infantrymen themselves rushed straight in.
Blasting at the enemy with a grenade, entering the communication trench and charging at the enemy.
The Japanese army hid at some bends and attacked the Chinese troops.
Grenades were constantly thrown, and also sudden sorties, firing with bullets.
The Chinese army practiced the tactic of fighting in groups of three, in which one person was attacked by the enemy, and the others immediately counterattacked, killing the enemy.
A large number of weapons and ammunition from the enemy's reinforcements on the river bank were captured, and the Chinese army attacked freely during the offensive.
Grenades are often used to bombard the enemy first, and then the infantry charges.
This is the journey of blood and fire, this is the journey of a desperate battle, and the Chinese army is advancing in flames and corpses.
Casualties on both sides are mounting day by day.
In just half an hour, the Chinese army suffered more than 300 casualties on the northern front alone.
To the south, there were also quite a few casualties.
After a bitter battle, the Chinese infantry completely occupied a large number of trenches, bunkers and pillboxes on all sides.
Tanks and grenadiers, constantly clearing enemy pillboxes and firing points.
The Japanese army was compressed to the core position, about the area of two football fields.
The Japanese army was very cunning, constantly fighting out of hidden tunnels and attacking behind our troops.
Chinese troops often had to charge and cut off the enemy's hidden passages before they could confirm the occupation.
What about the rest?
Focused bombardment was carried out with self-propelled guns.
A cannon shot shook the earth, the flames soared into the sky, the smoke and dust filled the air, and the enemy's core positions collapsed in large numbers.
The infantry waited fifteen minutes before rushing over and occupying the surface position.
