"Get out of the way...... Get out of the way ......"

The roar of the engine came from behind the artillery position, and since it was wartime, it was forbidden for cars entering the position to honk their horns, so the loud voices of the automobile soldiers resounded everywhere.

The battle at Xiaobaoshan had already been carried out for the second day, and in yesterday's battle, the 348th Brigade continued to pour countless shells into the Japanese position. As a heavy firepower unit with firepower coverage as its guiding ideology, the ammunition consumption of the 348th Brigade was astonishing; after only one day of fighting, all the five base shells carried by the artillery regiment had been exhausted, and at the urging of Li Wei, the transport brigade of the logistics department had to speed up and send the shells to the front line overnight.

"Squeak......

A Dodge CCKW-353, commonly known as a Dodge ten-wheeled heavy truck, stopped behind an M101 howitzer position, and after the truck stopped, with the roar of the driver, the long-awaited artillerymen ran over.

"Bang dang!"

The door opened, revealing a full load of shells.

"Quick...... Everyone, unload the truck......" A middle-aged driver with a dark face poked his head out of the window and yelled.

"You shout a hammer...... You wait...... It will take at least half an hour to unload, and you might as well sleep first if you have this time to scream. One soldier shouted impatiently.

"Okay, I'll sleep first, call me after unloading the shells, I have to rush back!" The middle-aged driver answered, rolled up the window, then changed his body to a comfortable position and closed his eyes, and snored in less than a minute. Although it was very busy, no one on the battlefield would call the drivers to come down to help, because everyone knew that these drivers must have come overnight and must have not slept all night, and it is good to let them catch up on sleep now.

As the unloading progressed, boxes of shells were carried down, and soon the flat ground behind the gun emplacements was piled up.

Half an hour later, the truck, which had been laden with shells, was unloaded. A puff of green smoke came out of the butt of the truck, and the truck drove towards the road it came from......

In a makeshift command post less than a kilometer away from the artillery position, Li Wei was looking at a telegram from Nanchang.

******, who had already taken up the post of commander of the 561st Regiment on the side, asked: "Sir, what did the division say, do you still let us attack?" ”

After reading the telegram, Li Wei sighed lightly and looked a little solemn, "The situation has changed, this morning our theater commander personally came to Nanchang to supervise the battle, and asked us to take Jiujiang, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Chongqing side." ”

"What?" First of all, I was surprised. Then he couldn't help but say angrily: "Isn't this nonsense, our original plan was not like this, if we carry out a strong attack, not to mention the casualties, will Japan watch us recover Jiujiang?" It has been a day since we launched the attack, and the Japanese must have sent reinforcements, and even if our 348th Brigade has three heads and six arms, it will not be able to cope with so many Japanese troops! ”

Li Wei said with a calm face: "The Japanese reinforcements have already set off, according to the information sent by the war zone, the Japanese Third Division and the Thirteenth Division have rushed to Jiujiang from Huanggang and Anqing respectively, and it is expected to arrive the morning after tomorrow." We're in big trouble! ”

blurted out: "No...... The battle can't be fought like this, if we wait for the two divisions of the Japanese army to kill together, we will never be able to withstand the attack of 40,000 or 50,000 Japanese troops! At that time, let alone recovering Jiujiang, it will be difficult to get out of the whole body. ”

"Of course I know that." Li Wei took a deep breath. However, he added: "Our original plan was to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army in Jiujiang, take him by surprise, kill and wound as much of the Japanese army's living force as possible before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, and then slip away." But now the situation has changed. The top actually let us play really, so the situation is completely different, but the division is not without a backhand. Our 348th Brigade is not alone. ”

"Do we have reinforcements?" After a pause, his expression became excited: "Could it be that the 347th Brigade is also here...... Wrong! ”

Speaking of this****** shook his head, the 347th Brigade is the most important force guarding Nanchang, and it is impossible to transfer it here, and the number of another army came to his mind.

"Brigade, is the supplementary brigade also here?"

"It's not a supplementary brigade either." Li Wei showed a hint of a smile: "This time, the division seat has made a bloody investment, and he has also sent the newly formed armored regiment. ”

"Panzer regiment? When did our division begin to form armored units? "When I heard this, my ******'s mouth was long enough to fit a duck egg.

As a high-achieving student who graduated from the Virginia Military Academy, ****** is naturally no stranger to tanks, and his instructors have also taught them the development of tanks in some countries when he was in school. However, by the time he graduated, because there was no authoritative conclusion on the development and use of tanks in various countries, the knowledge of the armored forces imparted by the instructor was also at the level of World War I, but the world recognized that the Germans had been at the forefront of the world in this regard.

Although they don't know much about armored forces, ****** also know that once those tanks that integrate protection, speed and firepower appear on the battlefield, the power is absolutely unmatched by infantry. But he never expected that Su Jin had so much courage that he would also form his own armored force.

Li Wei squinted at ****** and smiled: "Didn't you come to me two months ago to complain, saying that two German foreign devils came to your group to dig people crazy?" I didn't tell you a few days ago because they needed to keep it secret, but now that they're about to start showing their faces, it doesn't matter if it's a secret. Those two foreign devils are experts invited by the division to form armored forces, and our armored regiment began to be formed more than two months ago, and this time it was their armored regiment that took on the task of blocking the attack. ”

"That's it!" Hearing this, ****** was first overjoyed, and then asked suspiciously: "But the formation of armored forces is not so simple, it still takes three months to half a year for us to form an infantry team to form combat effectiveness, and I am afraid that it will take longer for this high-tech branch of armored forces, can it be done now that it is only two months?" ”

Li Wei said lightly: "You all know this question, why don't you know Shizao, but the problem is that time is running out, the Japanese won't give us so much time, and they can only learn while fighting." ”

Hearing this, ****** stopped talking. Learning while fighting, this sentence sounds simple, but the blood and sweat to be paid in it are great.

At this moment, a staff officer came up and reported: "Brigade seat, the ammunition of the artillery regiment has been replenished, please give a combat order!" ”

"What else is there to say?" Li Wei's face suddenly became gloomy, "Order the artillery regiment to launch an artillery bombardment on Xiaobaoshan immediately......****** this time it is your regiment's turn, I want to see your flag planted on Xiaobaoshan before it gets dark today!" ”

"Yes!"

snapped a military salute, then turned around and ran outside......

"Boom ......"

The heavy shelling began again, and Xiaobaoshan, which had just been calm for less than two hours, began to be covered with thick gunpowder smoke again......

With the beginning of the artillery bombardment, the infantry, which had been suspended for a long time, began to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese positions on Xiaobao Mountain.

The infantry of the first battalion of the 561st Regiment almost stepped on the explosion point to launch an attack on the Japanese position, they rushed along the defensive line opened by the artillery fire, and the three infantry companies divided into three breakthroughs and attacked in three directions, attacking the Japanese in depth as fast as possible in order to maximize the results of the battle. The second and third battalions that followed up in the rear were to clear the remaining enemy in the trenches after the follow-up.

With the entire main force of the 561st Regiment put into battle, the entire Xiaobaoshan position was shrouded in crisp gunfire and piercing military horns, and shouts mixed with Chinese or Japanese could be heard in the sound of gunfire and military bugles.

In accordance with the requirements of the battle, the officers and men of the 561st Regiment did not stick to the Japanese troops in the trenches, but threw grenades into the trenches from a distance in accordance with the requirements of the 202nd Division's training program, and then broke into the trenches after they exploded, expanding the results in the direction of the Japanese trenches.

"Da Da Da ......"

There was a dull sound of machine guns, and one of the soldiers who rushed to the front was cut in two by heavy machine gun bullets, and one of the soldiers next to him was shot to the ground at the same time.

"Flamethrower! Burn them! ”

A sergeant with a Suomi submachine gun who was not far behind was dumbfounded, and hissed and roared with all his might. He shouted as he threw a grenade in front.

"Boom"

The sound of explosions and explosions sounded, and the dust in the sky obscured the sight of the Japanese machine gunners hiding in the bunkers, and the gunshots suddenly became a little messy for a while. At this time, a flamethrower carrying a large jar on his back took the opportunity to rush up, hiding in a corner and pulling the trigger towards the pillbox dozens of meters away, accompanied by a sudden sound peculiar to a flamethrower, a long orange-red fire dragon sprayed straight behind the ruins more than forty meters away.

"Ahh ……”

After being attacked by the tongue of fire, a cry of pain was instantly heard from the bunker, which was still pouring bullets violently outside, and then five or six fire men ran out, and they shouted in pain as they ran, and their voices were so terrible. At this time, the same heart-rending screams could be heard from time to time on the position of Xiaobaoshan. In addition to the smell of gunpowder smoke on the Xiaobaoshan position, a choking smell mixed with gasoline, rubber and sulfur also permeated the air of Xiaobaoshan, and what made the soldiers of the 561st Regiment particularly disgusted was that in addition to this smell, there was also the smell of barbecue.

In view of the lack of strength of the 202nd Division, Su Jin specially cashed in hundreds of M2 flamethrowers and sent them to the troops to strengthen the strength of the troops.
