684. The Supreme Glorious Great Patriotic War
The cavalry squadron of the Japanese army was about 150 horses, and there were at least two or three hundred horses in the black crow just now, so it was normal to estimate it as a cavalry brigade.
It's just that this cavalry brigade was ambushed and flanked, suffered heavy losses, and less than a hundred men and horses fled back, which can be regarded as a squadron at most.
However, when sticking to the passive defense of waiting for reinforcements, the role of cavalry is not great, and the cavalry spear is far worse than the 38 rifle, but the accuracy of the devil's archery cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, counting up, there is more than one brigade of Japanese troops in this Mawangzhai, and according to the combat strength in peacetime, a Japanese brigade is about the same as a Chinese division.
This is still the combat strength of the Chinese army when defending, if it is the other way around, the situation is very different, the defensive combat strength of a Japanese brigade far exceeds that of a Chinese division.
Therefore, the Eastern Henan Corps handed over the task of conquering Neihuang to the 51st Division and the 88th Division, and when Sangou and their 51st Division attacked the main street position, the 88th Division had been fighting in this Mawangzhai for a while.
The 88th Division is the division where Du Bingwen, a classmate of Sangou at the Nanjing Huangpu Military Academy, is located, and the elite division of the Central Army was reorganized from the 2nd Guard Division in the 20th year of the Republic of China (1931).
Later, the unit carried out the first batch of German armament rearmament and became the first batch of German armament divisions, which belonged to the Fifth Army and was the first batch of troops to fight the Battle of Songhu after the August 13 Incident last year.
It was in last year's Battle of Songhu that the 88th Division was almost crippled, and most of the veterans were killed and wounded, resulting in an elite ace unit becoming the current second-rate unit.
Now the 88th Division belongs to the 71st Army and is under the command of the army commander, General Song Xilian. Sangou misses Du Bingwen with glasses a little.
Since graduating, everyone has gone their separate ways and gone to their respective units to fight bloodily, and I don't know what happened to them now? Are they all alive? Or is there any peace?
But in this battlefield of bullets, I can't go to my old classmates, so I can only silently bless myself in my heart, and bless myself, I hope I can survive in this bloody battle.
Since noon, the 88th Division has been attacking Mawangzhai for a long time, but it can't be defeated, and it has been bombarded by the infantry artillery of the people, and it has suffered a lot of losses.
Now that the 51st Division has come up, Division Commander Wang Yaozu saw that he could not open the formation like this, the firepower of Little Japan was very strong, the infantry artillery and small artillery did not stop, and the combination of light and heavy machine gun positions was very reasonable.
Even if they risk their lives to rush to the front of the position, they will fall under the firepower of other people's various lengths and weaknesses, and it will not help to add casualties.
"Go to the artillery camp, pull those mountain cannons over to Lao Tzu, aim at one side, and blast the devil's foot cannons." Master Wang has made a lot of money this time.
So the artillery battalion came over, pulled the mountain artillery into the nearby house, dug a hole in the wall, and aimed it at the infantry artillery position on the east side of Mawangzhai.
At the same time, Division Commander Wang also ordered all the mortars of the 153rd Brigade to aim at the light and heavy machine gun fire points of the devils, and the infantry of the 305th Regiment prepared to move forward to the front of the Mawangzhai position.
The seventh company and the third battalion of the three dogs were behind the second battalion, and the first battalion was behind.
Carry out a regimental assault charge against the Japanese army, obediently! It was the first time for Sangou to encounter this big scene, and as a company commander, he was already very excited, not to mention the soldiers below, so you can imagine how excited he was.
What is Defending the Country? Here it is.
Fighting against foreign invaders is the sacred Great Patriotic War, and it is worth dying in this life, especially in the army, to be able to catch such a great war.
As a soldier, the Great Patriotic War is the supreme glory, the greatest reason to go forward and succeed, and the greatest motivation to go to the soup and fire.
As a Chinese, facing the beast-like soldiers of Japan, any Chinese, a bloody Chinese, hopes that he can personally slash these enemies, solve the deep hatred in the sea of blood in his heart, and solve the great hatred in his heart.
"Boom, boom!"
Eight 6-year-old 75 mountain guns of the whole division beat the three Japanese infantry guns (left, center and right in three directions), and at the same time mortar shells rained down to the main position of the Japanese army.
Several Japanese guns and light and heavy machine guns on this side were all shrouded in a sea of fire, and then the commander of the 305th regiment, Zhang personally ordered, and all the light and heavy machine guns in the battalion of the regiment opened fire.
Although the weapons of the Chinese army are average, when it is really necessary to spend money, it can still be covered with terrifying firepower in a short period of time.
"Attack!"
With the hoarse roar of Regiment Commander Zhang, dozens of brass trumpets of the whole regiment sounded the charge trumpet together, and the trumpet pierced the rumbling guns, and the majestic and poignant trumpet resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Suddenly, several thousand people of the whole regiment were divided into multi-layer and multi-wave charging formations, and launched a magnificent charge amid the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis.
In the middle of the wave of the seventh company, Sangou led the combat soldiers of the whole company, holding the military spur that had been stuck with the bayonet, shouting the sound of rushing and killing, and rushed forward with all his might.
The 305th Regiment was different from other southern troops, each soldier had a large knife stuck in his back, and most of them had a red ribbon tied to the iron ring of the hilt.
In the telescope of Commander Wang of the 51st Division Command Post, the big swords and red spikes scattered all over the mountains fluttered behind the fearless soldiers, red through half the sky, majestic and murderous.
Seeing this, Senior Commander Wang wished that he was ten years younger, and rushed forward to kill with such a unit, and the feeling of slashing the enemy with his own hands could not be replaced by anyone.
……
Under the saturation of the Chinese army's artillery fire, several infantry guns were blown up in an instant, and almost all the positions of those light and heavy machine guns were smashed by mortars.
Then the light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese army began to fire, and the bullets were overwhelmingly pressed on the devils, and the dust on the position was raised several meters high, and a large number of devils were blown up and killed.
However, when the devils saw that the Chinese army was charging, they also began to rush out of the position desperately, grabbing machine guns and rifles and shooting.
Many devils were swept by the machine guns of the Chinese army before they could shoot a shot, and some devils were shot a few times before they were shot, while more devils were still shooting desperately.
The warriors of the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion, who rushed to the front of the 305th Regiment, were hit a lot by the devils in an instant, and even the three dogs in the middle wave could hear the sound of bullets in their ears.
At this time, it was a critical moment of life and death between the two sides, rushing over, it was done, not rushing over, the previous efforts were lost, and those soldiers were sacrificed in vain.
Seeing such a critical pass, Zhang Lingwu, the commander of the 305th Regiment, threw off his coat, grabbed a big knife, jumped out of the position, and rushed forward.
The guards behind him followed a group and chased anxiously, but the soldiers of the battalion next to him saw that the regiment commander also grabbed the big knife and rushed forward, this strength was really great, and they all shouted loudly:
"The regimental commander is also rushing here!" "The regiment commander also rushed in! "..."The regimental commander also rushed here!"
