Chapter 70: Breaking the Enemy
After Lin Rui and the others were ready, about fifteen minutes later, Sun Liren also led the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the tax police, as well as most of the troops of the independent brigade of the Guangdong Army, and quietly moved to the forward position.
Whether it is the independent brigade of the Guangdong Army or the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the tax police regiment, each originally had an artillery unit of different sizes.
If the three units are added together, the artillery they possess can form an artillery regiment.
However, in the previous battles, not only the infantry of the Independent Brigade of the Cantonese Army and the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police suffered heavy losses, but also the artillery units were almost completely lost due to the fierce fire of the Japanese naval guns.
Therefore, the artillery units of the national army on the Lion Forest position are basically only the artillery companies directly under the 3rd Regiment of Sun Liren's Tax Police and the 60-mm mortars equipped with the main battalions.
There were less than twenty guns in total, and the largest caliber was seventy-five millimeters, and the scale of its firepower was not even comparable to the 12th Infantry Wing of the Japanese army opposite.
However, Shangfeng had an order to ask Sun Liren to recapture the lost position of the Lion Forest at any cost, so as to ensure that the Lion Forest Fort could continue to hold on. Under such circumstances, Sun Liren could only choose to act at night, which could offset the Japanese army's heavy equipment and firepower superiority to the greatest extent.
Sun Liren actually understands that the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, and his biggest reliance is that there are more troops than devils.
However, there are some things that cannot be stopped because of difficulties, and in that case, China will not be far from being destroyed.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, this is the spirit and responsibility.
After Sun Liren and others led the main forces to take place one after another, an artillery battalion assembled by Sun Liren and put together more than a dozen artillery pieces immediately opened fire one after another.
Tom tom! More than a dozen shells dragged dazzling flames from the heads of Lin Rui, Yu Weiguo and other front-line soldiers and flew overhead, and landed on the Japanese position opposite.
Boom Boom! In a deafening explosion, scarlet flames rose one after another, soaring into the night sky.
The shelling continued, and there was panic on the Japanese positions. The 12th Wing Commander Anda Twenty-three and the Deputy Wing Commander and several other subordinate officers were discussing how to attack tomorrow in the headquarters.
Startled by the sudden explosion outside, Anda Twenty-Three, who was originally sitting, immediately stood up and asked, "What's the situation?" Where did the cannon sound come from? ”
The deputy wing commander immediately instructed the two subordinate officers: "You guys, go out immediately and see what is happening." ”
"Hay!" The two devils answered, quickly turned around and took the order to leave.
It didn't take long for one of the devils to go back and forth in a panic, and saluted Anda Twenty-three and the others: "Captain, the Zhina army on the other side will shell us again!" ”
"Yaga Yalu!" Anda Twenty-three was furious when he heard this: "This group of despicable Chinese pigs even dare to shell the imperial army? Immediately notify the 11th Mountain Artillery Wing, immediately lock down the position of the artillery of the Chinese Army, and open fire to kill them! ”
"Hay!" The devil officer paused again, and then walked away quickly.
At this time, the artillery of the Nationalist Army on the Lion Forest position had already fired four rounds of artillery salvos at the Japanese army, and nearly 100 shells hit the position of the 12th Infantry Wing.
Seeing this situation, Lin Rui immediately instructed Zhou Weihan and Yu Weiguo next to him: "It's almost the same, follow me with the death squad!" ”
Yu Weiguo was a little surprised and said: "Ah Rui, Chief Sun's order to attack hasn't come down yet!" ”
Lin Rui said: "I can't wait any longer, if I wait any longer, the devils will all react, and then the surprise attack will become a strong attack, taking advantage of the fact that the devils are dizzy by the shells, they quickly rush up and tear apart their forward defense line in one fell swoop, so that there is hope that the counterattack will succeed." ”
"However, if we rush over like this, we will probably be accidentally injured by our own artillery fire." Yu Wei National Road.
"No, send someone to the regiment and tell him that the order will start in three minutes to start shooting extended! Hit the shells as far behind the Japanese positions as possible! Lin Rui said.
"Good!" Yu Weiguo turned around and sent a soldier away, while Lin Rui picked up a flower trap, stood up from the trench, and shouted to the surrounding officers and soldiers: "Death squad, follow me!" ”
With that, he was the first to jump out of the trench with an MP18 submachine gun in his hand and quickly rushed towards the Japanese position.
Yu Weiguo, Zhou Weihan, and Lin Feng each led a hundred daredevils, followed closely behind, jumped out of the trenches, and began a night attack counterattack.
At that time, the shelling of the national army was still continuing, so the devil's position was full of explosions and fires, and it was still in chaos and chaos.
Although some Japanese officers tried their best to maintain their composure, it was difficult for them to fully regain their composure.
In particular, a few devil officers were extremely unlucky when they were hit by shells from the national army and were killed on the spot, which further intensified the panic of the devil soldiers.
In this case, few devils can keep their composure and go to find the death squads of the national army under the cover of night.
Lin Rui didn't let the soldiers shout to kill, just ran all the way with his head stuffy, and it took less than two minutes to rush to the front of the Japanese position.
At this time, there was a break in the artillery fire of the national army, because they had to adjust the angle of fire so that they could extend the shot.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Lin Rui and them, looking at the Japanese position close at hand under the firelight, Lin Rui shouted with his gun in his hand: "Death squad, send these Oriental Japanese slaves back to their hometown!" Kill! ”
As soon as the sound of killing started, Lin Rui took the lead with a submachine gun and rushed over, facing the crowds, the flames were everywhere, and the Japanese positions with devil soldiers running back and forth were fiercely strafed.
Behind him, more than 100 daredevils armed with MP18 submachine guns, as well as Czech light machine guns and Mauser pistols, opened fire one after another.
Suddenly, tongues of fire composed of hundreds of submachine guns, light machine guns, and Mauser semi-automatic pistols turned into a dense rain of bullets and poured down on the forward positions of the Japanese army.
Puff puff! Many of the devil soldiers who were running back and forth to save the wounded were caught off guard and were shot one after another and screamed.
Lin Rui and other daredevils equipped with automatic weapons such as submachine guns, light machine guns, and pistols took advantage of the situation to charge, and the soldiers equipped with rifles behind them pulled off M24 long-handled grenades and threw them into the Japanese position.
Boom Boom! Violent explosions began to burst out in the forward positions of the Japanese army, and countless devils were blown up with flesh and blood, and there were heavy casualties.
The entire forward position was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire.
Lin Rui took advantage of this opportunity and led the death squad to immediately rush over at full speed.
"Rush! Kill! The three hundred daredevils shouted in unison, like a flood that had burst the embankment, and swarmed towards the Japanese position.
