Chapter 218: Multi-Arms Combat
What is the division commander doing, watching a play? ”
Ye Lei felt a lot of pressure. Less than 20 minutes before the time of the counteroffensive, nearly 20 high-ranking officers suddenly came from Dachang, saying that they had come to observe the battle.
Zhu Chi explained with a smile: "The division commander also takes care of his fellow countrymen. It was not easy for the Sichuan army, wearing straw sandals, and walking thousands of miles to Shanghai to resist the Japanese. ”
Ye Lei didn't know that the Sichuan army was not easy, the equipment was poor, there was no logistics, and he had traveled thousands of miles, and he didn't know how many were left after the first battle. I just felt pressured and complained casually.
When the two of them came to the command department of the second battalion, Ye Lei suddenly stopped and said, "Brigade Commander Zhu thinks so much about the Sichuan army brothers, he doesn't mind sending the captured materials to the Sichuan army at night, right?"
Zhu Equator: "Let's talk about winning the war." As long as you kid help me win this battle, it's easy to say anything, it's if you can't win or not! ”
Entering the compound, nineteen officers of the 26th Division were waiting, all of them were colonel-level officers, and one of them was a major general.
When the major general saw Zhu Chi, the two exchanged military salutes, and the major general said: "Zhu Zaitang, the commander of the 76th Brigade, was ordered by the division commander to bring 4 regiment commanders and 14 battalion commanders of the 26th Division to observe this battle. ”
Saying that, Zhu Zaitang said ashamedly: "To say that it is to observe is to learn how to fight devils from the ace master." Our Sichuan army has been in civil war for many years, and its tactics have long been outdated. The civil war is sorry for the country and harms itself. ”
From his words and deeds, Ye Lei did see the meaning of the other party's shame, just like what Yang Sen said when he came out of Sichuan: "I am an old warlord, and I am sorry for the country and the nation in the perennial civil war." We must resist the war to the end and be unswerving, that is, the enemy army will not withdraw from the border for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return to its hometown for a day! ”
The 26th Division had just arrived in Songhu, and the other officers were in a mood of "being a stranger in a foreign land", not to mention that this was still the defense area of the ace 88th Division.
Zhu Chi put down his hand and said, "Learn from each other." You and I are both surnamed 'Zhu', and we are still a family at five hundred years old. The one next to me is the famous Ye Lei, and he commanded this battle. ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Lei, they couldn't believe that the famous God of War was so young.
Zhu Zaitang said: "Sure enough, he is a hero out of a young man, and the name Ye Lei that I hear the most when I come to Songhu is Ye Lei." ”
Ye Lei saluted and said, "General Zhu is good." I'll just say that it's better to see how the devils fight than how we fight. ”
Saying that, Ye Lei looked at the time and said, "The battle will start soon, and the command headquarters can't stay for so many people." The two brigade commanders surnamed 'Zhu' sit in the command headquarters, and I will go to the front line to command. Others can join me if they are interested, and they can stay if they are not interested. ”
Zhu Chi looked at the time, there were still five minutes, so he patted Ye Lei and said, "It's so decided, keep in touch at any time." ”
Ye Lei saluted again and turned to the forward position, and the eighteen officers behind Zhu Zaitang followed Ye Lei to the position.
The entire counteroffensive front was nearly 500 meters long, the sky was dark, and the terrain was very complicated, which caused great difficulty for the command.
"Ryu~Ryu~Ryu~" "......"
At this time, in the middle of the road in the position of the second battalion, a tank passed by with the sound of a huge motor, followed by a platoon of soldiers.
A Sichuan army officer asked, "Have you started, is this enough to have such a small number of soldiers?" ”
Ye Lei took out his flare gun and said, "There is at least one squadron of devils on the other side, what do you say?" ”
After speaking, Ye Lei aimed the signal gun at the air, and with a "bang~", an orange signal flare rose into the night sky.
"Put!"
"Bang~Bang~Bang~" "......"
The artillery took the lead in launching an artillery attack on the positions of the devils in front.
"Boom Boom" "......"
The shelling was not very intensive, but the fire in front was exceptionally bright against the background of the night, followed by the earth-shattering killing cries in the area of about two hundred meters ahead. The pikes had taken cover in the areas on both sides of the front before the battle, and they only bluffed and did not attack.
The tank came to a halt two hundred meters away from the enemy area, and a violent spark emanated from the hole of the gun. The soldiers at the back of the tank scattered in both directions, found the rock mass and began to shoot indiscriminately in front of them.
After the daytime battle, the two hundred in front of the devil's position were almost razed to the ground, the purpose was to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. A wide field of vision can effectively give full play to the advantages of their heavy firepower.
At this time, the front of the devil's position was pitch black, and there were enemy cries, shelling, and bullets. The devils in the sandbag fortifications, as well as the machine gunners at the commanding heights everywhere, seem to have been prepared for a long time, knowing that the other side will launch a counterattack at night. As soon as the battle began, the devils in the position were in full swing.
"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~" "......"
Several sparks appeared in the darkness ahead, and several lines of fire flew over the ruins, quickly forming a dense network of fire.
By this time, the shelling of the attacking side had stopped. The special combat team members who were hiding at the sniper point immediately launched a sniper attack on the firing point, and the firepower of the devil's position in front of them suddenly weakened.
"Up! Fast! Fast! ”
At the same time as the enemy's fire weakened, the forces of a company in the position of the second battalion rushed out of the position and attacked forward.
Fu Bingxun, the head of the 151st Regiment, asked behind the sandbag work: "Lieutenant Colonel Ye, we don't understand very well, can you talk about it?" ”
Ye Lei said: "Just now, I knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger and lured the snake out of the hole, the purpose was to expose the enemy to fire points everywhere. I placed 23 snipers in the shadows, colloquially speaking, sharpshooters with good marksmanship, and those fire points became the targets of their shooting. The enemy's fire weakened, and the real attack began only now. ”
Fu Bingxun and other officers then understood, Ye Lei continued: "The cooperation between the arms must first understand the characteristics of the arms, and then use the appropriate tactics to exert their combat power. ”
The attacking troops went to the rear of the tanks, at which point the tanks again began to attack the positions of the devils in front.
"Pay attention to concealment, protect the tank!"
Behind the tank, a captain followed closely with more than sixty soldiers, and the soldiers in the rear came out and fired a shot and quickly dodged back, then pulled back the bolt and continued the attack.
On both sides of the road, the soldiers behind the ruins opened fire, and the fire of the devil's position was completely suppressed by the fire of the attacking side.
"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"
And at this moment, the artillery behind the devils quickly launched an artillery bombardment. In a moment, the battlefield ahead was full of flames, illuminating the entire area.
The attacking tanks suddenly increased their horsepower and rushed forward. While the infantry in the rear followed, hundreds of soldiers on both sides took advantage of the enemy's suppressed firepower to take advantage of the ruins to move forward continuously, and the machine gun team opened full fire at a specific position to cover the attacking troops, while the special combat team continued to shoot and suppress the enemy's firepower.
"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......Boom Boom" "Boom Boom"
The firepower of both sides is wrong, and the distance is constantly shortened. The sound of gunfire and artillery was incessant, and the battle became more and more intense, and the area east of Sanyili was almost shrouded in firelight.
"Put!"
"Bang~Bang~Bang~" "......"
A fire team of the machine gun company followed the large force to the designated position, and four 82mm mortars aimed at the devils in the road fortifications ahead to launch artillery shelling.
"Boom Boom" "......"
There was a fire in front of the tank, and in the light, several devils were blown out of the fortifications.
At this moment, the tank stopped thirty kilometers from the enemy position. The infantry in the rear threw grenades one after another, and by the light of the fire in front, the attacking troops charged.
"Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~" "......"
The light of the fire was like a signal, and Ye Lei immediately ordered the trumpeter to blow the trumpet.
"Kill! Kill! ”“……”
Under enemy fire, troops from all over the place launched a fierce charge with cries of killing. The first echelon charge was followed by the pikes.
In less than a moment, the forward troops had already rushed into the enemy camp. Under the light of the remaining artillery fire, the two sides engaged in a fierce white-knuckle battle.
The attacking side was overwhelmed, and a large number of soldiers continued to pour in like a tidal wave. The two sides staggered their teeth and fought hard.
The pikes were the first to rush in, working in groups of three or six, each followed by one or two Einsatzgruppen members. At the same time as the team members in front of them assassinated, the team members behind seized the opportunity to shoot directly at the devils in their line of sight. The two complement each other, attacking and defending each other.
In melee combat, the members of the spear team are better than the devils after strict marksmanship training. In the fight, with the assistance of the special task force, the devils who are good at fighting are not their opponents at all. In the process of fighting between the two sides, the pikes exerted great combat power.
Just when the fierce battle between the two sides was scorching, another company of troops rushed over to join the battle, but the devil showed no sign of reinforcements. The situation was immediately one-sided. The devils on the defensiveness gradually lost their support and withdrew from the area one after another.
The 2nd Battalion successfully regained the lost ground during the day, the engineer platoon quickly entered the theater of operations to reinforce the defensive line, and the logistics unit also entered the battlefield to grab the ball and the wounded.
In less than an hour, the 528 regiment won the battle. But Ye Lei felt that it was too smooth, and this was more like a conspiracy of the enemy.
