Chapter 123: The Reserve Team is Up!
As the Japanese army launched the afternoon offensive, Xu Mingzhi, who was in command, was very keenly aware that the Japanese army had divided its troops. Below the positions defended by a company, more Japanese troops were assembled. On the other hand, in the positions defended by the second company, the number of Japanese troops was no different from that at noon.
When the Japanese army launched a new offensive, Xu Mingzhi was even more convinced of his judgment, and the Japanese commander put more troops and firepower into the first company position. On the other side, after the Japanese began shelling, the second company position was not attacked by a single shell.
Seeing the artillery bombardment launched by the Japanese army, the artillery company of the Snow Shame Battalion, which also entered the state of shelling, immediately launched a counterattack on the Japanese artillery position. It's just that this time it didn't take long for the artillery of the little devils to start a counterattack.
Looking at the artillery fire of the little devil's counterattack, Xu Mingzhi, who was staying in the position, was slightly worried: "Go, see how the artillery company is doing?" Tell Company Commander Sun that you must find a way to destroy the little devil's artillery, and I will make the little devil have no artillery to use. ”
"Yes! Battalion Vice! ”
When the correspondent arrived at the artillery company's position, the artillery company commander Sun Yuanqi was in the artillery position on the other side, personally adjusting the angle of those infantry guns. As for the artillery positions on the other side, they were also hit by multiple shells.
Fortunately, the artillery company had preset a reserve position earlier and set up a number of artillery pieces in advance. Now seeing that the Japanese army really hid the artillery power, Sun Yuanqi immediately activated the reserve artillery position and prepared to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.
After listening to the order conveyed by the correspondent, Sun Yuanqi also said resolutely: "Tell the battalion deputy that the artillery company guarantees to complete the task!" ”
After adjusting all the infantry guns placed on the position, Sun Yuanqi said quickly: "Enter the position and prepare for the shelling!" ”
"Yes, company commander!"
The artillerymen who stayed on the side quickly entered their respective gun emplacements, and boxes of shells prepared in advance were opened. When the shells were quickly stuffed into the barrels, the gunners said: "One shot is good!" The second artillery is good! Three guns are good! ”
Accompanying the artillery positions to prepare for the shelling, Sun Yuanqi, who was in charge of the command on the side, immediately said: "Three rapid fires, release!" ”
As the infantry guns roared one after another, shells erupted from the barrels. Xu Mingzhi, who stayed at the position to watch, soon saw that the Japanese counterattack artillery position was finally muted and once again reduced to the scene of an explosion with thick smoke billowing out.
"Beautiful! it, Sun Yuanqi's guy is really good! Without artillery support, I'll see how the little devils attack! ”
Shinpei Miura, who was personally in charge of commanding the offensive battle of the No. 1 position, looked at the artillery position with thick smoke billowing out, and was naturally very worried. But he knew that the artillery squadron had already done what it had to do, and the rest of the battle would depend on them in the end.
"The first squadron was ordered to set up a cover position within a hundred meters, the machine gun squad to establish a machine gun position two hundred meters away, and the grenadier squad to set up a firing position behind the machine gun squad. Advance layer by layer, advance the offensive position to a distance of fifty meters! ”
"Hey!"
Under the cover of artillery fire, the first squadron, which rushed to the front, had advanced to a distance of two hundred meters from the blocking position. If it's flat, it won't take long to get there, but on the hill it takes at least a few minutes.
Only by advancing the offensive line to a distance of 50 meters can the Japanese rush into the defenders' fortifications with all their might. This also means that the tearing within a distance of 100 meters is the most brutal, and it depends on who can hold out to the end.
As the captain of the infantry brigade, Miura Shinpei knew very well that this offensive and defensive battle was very unfavorable to the attacking side. But when it came to this, Miura Mahei couldn't afford the defeat. In order to win, he can only fill it with his life.
The squadron leaders, who had already received the death order earlier, also seemed to know that today's offensive battle would not be easy to fight. But in the face of Miura Shinpei going to the battlefield in person, how could they retreat? To fight this part, the only way to attack is to attack desperately.
When the artillery of the two sides opened fire on each other, the Japanese army, who did not have to worry about artillery fire for the time being, finally launched a strong attack on the position in charge of the first company at the signal of Miura Shinpei. Looking at the little devils all over the front of the position, the soldiers in the position were also surprised.
"Grandma, there are a lot of little devils this time! Look at this frame, the little devil is ready to fight with us, right? ”
"Fight hard, I'm afraid of a ball! I've already killed two little devils, and I've earned it. Fight one more, and we'll make a lot of money! ”
"Hey, hey! With such a dense offensive formation, wait for the aiming point to fight well, as long as you don't shoot the bullets flying, you can kill a little devil. There are so many little devils, how can it be enough to kill one more? Hold out until the evening, and then the battalion commander will have a way. ”
The squad leader, who was listening next to him, said at the right time to stick to the night. As a squad leader, he naturally hopes that the soldiers in the squad will sacrifice less. Even if they didn't get along with the soldiers in the squad for a long time, these squad leaders liked the atmosphere of the Snow Shame Camp very much.
The food is good, and the bullets and weapons are all used to be greedy but not used. In addition, there is a commander who pities the lives of soldiers, and these veterans who have served in the army for many years naturally hope to live well.
With the launch of a fierce offensive, the machine guns deployed on the positions opened full fire. Countless deadly tongues of fire devoured the lives of the attacking Japanese troops. As a company commander, Tian Sili also personally carried a machine gun and kept moving the muzzle to shoot point shots.
"Aim at the little devils halfway up the mountain, don't let them set up the grenadiers! Riflemen, aim and shoot, if there are little devils approaching, throw bombs at me, blow those little devils down, and you must not let them rush over. ”
"Yes, company commander!"
Tian Sili, who was staying in the front-line position, naturally saw the little devil's plan. With the Japanese army at the front, attract and contain their attention. And the little devils who followed behind him began to build a position of machine guns and grenadiers.
Once the little devils are allowed to establish these positions, then the fighters in the positions will bear a greater threat. Under such circumstances, Tian Sili must also adjust the defensive deployment and distinguish the focus of defense and blockade.
At this time, the platoon commander said with a happy face: "Company commander, the reserve team is up!" ”
"What? Who told them to come? It's not time to use reserves, is it? ”
"Lao Tian, aren't you welcome? It was the battalion deputy who asked me to come over! How? Are you afraid that I will rob you of your show? ”
"! Why are you here too? Who is responsible for the logistics company? ”
Looking at Zhao Bing, the commander of the logistics company who led people to bend down and enter the trenches one after another, Tian Sili, who was also the company commander, also knew that Zhao Bing and the soldiers of the logistics company had always been eager to participate in the battle. And this time, finally gave them a chance.
Facing Tian Sili, who was a little unhappy, Zhao Bing also smiled and said: "Lao Tian, the battalion deputy has already seen before, and the little devil has put all his troops into your position. There should only be one squadron of the little devils over there in the second company, and they don't need my help at all. ”
"What do you mean, I need help?"
"What about that! Our logistics company, this time we are here to stain the light, so it's okay, right? ”
"That's it! I seem to be afraid that you will steal the credit! It's good that you're here, the little devils are really fierce. Tell the brothers in the logistics company to be careful of the devil's grenadiers and pick your own place to join the battle! ”
"Good! Brothers, I'm fighting devils side by side with the brothers of the company. Stay safe! ”
"Yes, company commander!"
As Zhao Bing led the reserve into the position in advance, the Japanese army in charge of the attack soon found that the firepower on the blocking position had increased again. Looking at the soldiers who kept falling, the little devil officer who led the team was also angry.
Miura Shinpei, who was staying in the rear, also saw this scene and said angrily: "Yaga! Reinforcements from there? What does the third brigade eat? It's been so long, haven't you outflanked it yet? Can't you fight a feint? ”
In the face of Miura Shinpei's anger, the adjutant who stayed by his side didn't know how to answer. The gunfire that could be heard by the adjutant seemed to be fierce on the side of the 3rd Brigade in charge of outflanking. It seems that it is also in the midst of a fierce battle.
In fact, as the adjutant guessed, after the four platoons were transferred to join the jungle raid operation, Hu Biao led the guard platoon and did not wait for the little devil to chase after him. Instead, it is a platoon unit, constantly attracting little devils into the jungle.
Looking at the Japanese troops gathered in the mountains and forests in the rear, Hu Biao, who carried a few mortars from the logistics company, said with a cold face: "Are the three knives in place?" ”
"Battalion commander, platoon commander, they have been ready for a long time!"
"Good! Remember, follow me later, use these four mortars, and attract the little devils to pursue. You don't have to be too fast, the purpose of this shelling is to lead the little devils into the mountains, and then divide and annihilate them, understand? ”
"Understood!"
"Ready! Put! ”
Knock knock, continuous shelling sounded, and mortar shells flew over the tree sentry and flew to the temporary camp of the 3rd Japanese Brigade. Looking at the shells falling from the sky, the Japanese troops, who were resting and discussing the enemy's situation, instantly exploded their nests.
"Spread out! Take cover! Shelling! Quick, spread out and avoid artillery fire! ”
The officer who accompanied the little devil began to command his subordinates to disperse, and the little devils who were originally concentrated immediately scattered and fled. At this time, Hu Biao deliberately controlled the speed of the artillery bombardment, and threw shells at the Japanese camp without hurrying or slow.
Looking at the place where the cannon sound came from, the captain of the third brigade immediately said: "Baga! 3rd Squadron, strike at once! Find out these damn attackers and destroy their artillery positions! ”
In the eyes of the Japanese captain, the speed of the artillery was undoubtedly slower than the speed at which the infantry fled in the jungle. Carrying a rifle and carrying a barrel and gun carriage are completely different from carrying the load, and the speed of retreat is definitely different.
The third squadron, which was ordered to pursue, soon rushed towards the hill where Hu Biao was located, under the leadership of the squadron leader. But these little devils didn't know that in front of their pursuit, Xu Sandao had been waiting for a long time.
"Ready! The little devil is coming! Remember, shoot out the bullets in the gun and alternately cover the exit from the battle! ”
Xu Sandao, who was lying at the front in a camouflage suit, whispered an order to the soldiers behind him. Although the soldiers who cooperated with the battle for the first time did not understand why they ran away after a fight, these fighters had a strong sense of obedience.
Especially after learning about the achievements of the guard platoon, the other soldiers of the Snow Shame Battalion were very curious about how the guard platoon fought. This time it was a rare opportunity to cooperate with the operation, so they naturally had to learn how the guard platoon fought!
