Chapter 174: It's like being haunted by ghosts
As soon as Wang Feng gave the order, he saw that the troops deployed in various parts of the position, like a group of crazy wolves, suddenly jumped up, took weapons and ammunition and retreated frantically to the rear.
The lessons of blood and life forced the soldiers who fought with the enemy to learn that they must obey the orders of their commanders on the battlefield.
Because they know that the commanders who look at the battle situation in the positions have to see farther than them, and the orders they give cannot be said to be the experience summed up with their lives and blood, but at least they have been tempered in the midst of pain, and only then can they form a decisive order in an extraordinary period.
The engineer battalion was bombed by Japanese planes and ground artillery fire for not obeying orders last time, suffering heavy casualties, and they will never forget the bloody lesson.
Before the troops who had just withdrawn from the forward positions had time to lie down, dozens of shells fell on the positions one after another, once again setting off a storm of gunsmoke and flames on the positions.
The corpses of those soldiers who had not had time to be buried were bombarded by Japanese artillery fire again, and the stumps and broken arms that rose into the air and the broken bones and flesh that were torn into slag, accompanied by the mud and rocks that were constantly bombarded, flew up and fell to the ground again and again.
Wang Feng saw that the Japanese army's fierce artillery fire had been bombarded continuously for five or six minutes, and it was estimated that the shelling should be over immediately, and ordered the officers around him: "All soldiers bring weapons and ammunition, listen to my orders, and be ready to kill back to their positions at any time. ”
When the artillery shells fired by the Japanese army were sparse and the last shell hit the ground and just exploded, Wang Feng waved his hand and shouted: "Each company and platoon quickly occupy the position with the most ferocious speed, rush——。 ”
The troops under the command of Wang Feng rushed to the position as fast as a tiger under Wang Feng's order.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the cunning little devils launched an attack on the position in advance, and almost at the same time, the enemy and us met at the front of the position in close combat.
Wang Feng shouted with a submachine gun: "With the most fierce firepower, I will destroy all the vanguard units of the Japanese army that rushed up, immediately consolidate the position, and do a good job in the all-out counterattack of the blocking battle." ”
At the forefront was Wang Feng's 3rd Regiment, which had been a group of stragglers a few hours earlier, and had been trained to become a particularly combat-ready army of tigers and wolves.
They held submachine guns and spat tongues of fire at the devils who rushed to the front of the position, and they were fearless in the face of the frenzied attacking Japanese troops, and some were just a kind of heroism that would rather die than take half a step back.
The vanguard of the Japanese attack, under the fire of less than a company led by Wang Feng, the devils who rushed in front were shot and fell to the front of the position, and the devils who followed closely behind wanted to break through the fire blockade, but no matter how strong the Japanese soldiers were in individual combat, they could not resist the scorching tongue of fire.
The commander of the devil saw that the warriors of the imperial army in front of him were suddenly killed by the powerful firepower, and the hunted fell one by one, and saw that it was hopeless to continue the attack and break through the position, so he had to roar and order, 'Retreat quickly'.
When he saw the corpses of both the enemy and us lying on the position, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "War is cruel, bullets eat people, and every victory is forged by soldiers with blood and life." ”
The Japanese squadron that attacked the forefront of Miaohang suffered another heavy defeat, and the squadron suffered heavy casualties, and it could no longer become a small force with combat effectiveness and attack a certain position alone.
Fujiwara Hiroshi and the Wing Leader pointed at Squadron Leader Ono and reprimanded: "You bastard, a squadron under the cover of heavy fire from aircraft artillery many times, not only did you not destroy the forward positions of Breakthrough China, but also suffered heavy casualties, bastard. ”
"Yes, yes, Your Excellency Osa, Ono bastard, Ono is incompetent, please punish him heavily."
Chief of Staff Toyohide Yamada looked at Ono and asked, "Ono-kun, why is the powerful opponent you are facing so powerful, haven't you found the reason inside?" If you can't find the reason for your failure, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it to your superiors. ”
"Report to Dazuo, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Ono launched many attacks on the forward positions in China, and the last two failed miserably, mainly because a small reinforcement unit suddenly appeared in the position in China, this small reinforcement force has strong combat effectiveness, and the weapons and equipment are not held by ordinary troops, my suspicion is that it is a German foreign force, otherwise."
Hearing what Squadron Leader Ono said, Fujiwara Hiroshi and the wing commander angrily rushed to the front and slapped them twice, and asked angrily: "You are not a fool, do you see that this small unit reinforcing the Shina position is a foreign force?" ”
"Report to Your Excellency Osa, Ono didn't see it, but based on the combat capabilities and weapons and equipment of this small reinforcement unit, he guessed that such an elite unit was definitely not worthy of it, so it was just."
Chief of Staff Toyohide Yamada did not criticize Squadron Leader Ono too much, because he knew that such a well-equipped unit, with the commander's witty, flexible, and decisive command, and strong combat effectiveness, suddenly appeared in the Shina position, and it must be a special unit with special training.
Ono's squadron suffered two defeats in its attacks, and he should not be blamed for all of them.
"Ono-kun, based on the two attacks on the Shina position, what is your assessment of the commander of this unit and the combat capability of the troops? Please don't be worried, Your Excellency Osa and I need to be kept up to date. ”
Ono Tatsumasa looked at Hiroshi Fujiwara and Wing Commander and Chief of Staff Toyohide Yamada, and carefully recalled the reasons for the failure of these two attacks, as well as the sudden strength of the operational command ability of the commander of the Shina and the combat effectiveness of the troops.
After a few seconds, he still sighed and said: "Report to the Wing Commander and Chief of Staff, according to Ono's observation, the commander of the Shina unit is a very cunning guy, under the heavy fire strike of our side, the Shina position was not destroyed by powerful air strikes and ground artillery fire, and it seems that he did not suffer any losses and immediately entered the battle. ”
"How?" Chief of Staff Yamada stared at his two small eyes and asked eagerly.
"I suspect that the commander of China was just about to launch an artillery attack by our Imperial Japanese Army, and was predicted by this cunning guy to withdraw his troops to a safe place in advance, otherwise he would not be able to maintain a strong combat effectiveness under the powerful artillery bombardment."
"Nani?" Hiroshi Fujiwara and the co-captain heard Ono say this, not only frowned and glared at Ono, but also motioned to continue.
"Because the commander of China is prepared to avoid artillery strikes in advance, he can lead his troops to pounce on the position at the fastest speed after the artillery strike, and the combat effectiveness of this special force is very strong, according to different terrains and different troop deployments, it is very restrained in the face of sudden battle situations and implements firepower counterattacks."
After listening to Ono's report, Chief of Staff Toyohide Yamada motioned for him to retreat first, and then said to Captain Fujiwara: "Fujiwara-kun, to deal with such a special force, we must come up with a way to defeat the enemy, otherwise we will fail to attack again." ”
