Chapter 458: The End (Page 1/1)
The corpses in the position were buried first, and at noon, when the sun broke, the corpses really smelled bad, and now that there is time and conditions to bury them, the bodies of their own fallen brothers cannot be thrown on the ground like that.
The main casualties of the teaching brigade were the soldiers of the first platoon of the heavy machine guns of the heavy fire squadron and the soldiers of the grenadier group drawn from the third squadron, and the mortar platoon and the second platoon of the heavy machine guns of the heavy fire squadron on the road had no casualties.
Zhang Wei, Li Shaoyan, and Dong Erli personally helped the soldiers who carried the corpses to bury the bodies of the fallen brothers.
Although the casualties were not large, there were always people killed and wounded, and the living people were gone all at once, Zhang Wei and others put the corpses of the dead soldiers into the soil pit, buried the loess, and their own soldiers merged with the land where they had fought, and dug a hole for them, so that the brothers could have a grave.
The small German-style hat of the fallen soldier was covered with a small German hat on the low grave, which was pressed with a stone, and a simple coarse cloth hat with the blue sky and white sun emblem was used as a tombstone, which can be regarded as a proof of a soldier's bloody sacrifice.
The number of troops killed in battle, the proportion of the machine gun platoon of Li Shaoyan's heavy fire squadron, Li Shaoyan, who did not have much experience on the battlefield when burying people, was very sentimental, the fewer battles he fought, the more serious he looked at the dead, casualties and bloody scenes, and Li Shaoyan was in this situation now.
Burying the bodies of the brothers did not touch Zhang Wei and Dong Erli, as well as the veterans who buried them together.
For Zhang Wei and Dong Erli, who have fought big battles, on the battlefield, death is too normal, but Nanjing, Xuzhou, Lanfeng, and the losses and casualties of the entire system abound, and that kind of war is not to see how many people have been killed, but how many people have survived.
These brothers who died in battle actually only took the first step, and the sentimentality in Li Shaoyan's heart was persuaded by Dong Er for a few words, and then he had no intention of being sentimental, and slowly disappeared into nothing.
After burying the bodies and operating the grenadiers, the grenadier group soldiers returned to the establishment first, they were the grenadier squad directly under the third squadron and the grenadier group soldiers of each squad, Zhang Wei asked them to hurry up and return to the position of the third squadron to rest and arm, and the rest of the mess was handed over to the soldiers of the heavy machine gun platoon to clean up.
Looking at the busy soldiers, Zhang Wei said to Li Shaoyan and Dong Erli beside him: "The brothers have worked hard, and the battle of our brigade is all supported by your heavy firepower squadron." ”
Not long after the battle began, after the Japanese troops in front of the teaching brigade were beaten by the first squadron, the machine gun platoon and mortar positions of Li Shaoyan's heavy fire squadron became the most intense part of the teaching brigade and the Japanese army.
The temperature of the surrounding air, the peculiar smell, and the scattered battlefield environment are all proof, and the whole formation of the heavy fire squadron is put into battle.
"Captain, hard work is second, my two baby bumps, you have to let them rest."
Dong Erli, the leader of the 82 mortar platoon wearing a steel helmet and shirtless, said with a wry smile, and pointed to the mortar position not far away, the two 82 mortars were alone in the circular firing position, and the brothers of the mortar platoon went out of the fortifications, squatting, lying outside the fortifications, sweating profusely like Dong Erli.
During the battle, the mortars almost never stopped, and the sound of artillery continued throughout the battle.
Zhang Wei said: "What's the matter, how many shots?" ”
"Each cannon fired more than 60 shells, almost 70 rounds, my people have been fighting continuously, my gunners, when they fired the cannon, they were afraid that the cannon would explode, no, the cannon barrel is still hot."
The two guns fired more than 140 shells, which didn't look much, converted into boxes, a total of more than 20 large boxes of mortar shells, this battle, the wear and tear of the cannon barrel and gun life is really not small.
These two 82 mortars have been firing since they came into contact with the Japanese army, and the ceasefire was not long during the battle, and they all stopped shooting until they had to cease fire.
The firing time is too long, the number of shells fired is too large, for the mortar, the barrel is a part, the gun carriage, the buffer machine, and the direction machine will be affected, and the same buffer time is needed, and the seat plate is broken because of excessive shooting, or the gun hoop, the direction machine is mechanically damaged during the shooting, the mortar is still not able to use normally, and the artillery is also very tired.
"Cheng, give your baby a rest and rest, you guys will rest first, hold on all morning, our second-line position is estimated to have no battle in the afternoon, just do a good job of concealment." Zhang Wei said.
The second-line position is mainly sluggish, Zhang Wei did not plan to play with them here, judging from the situation of the Japanese army, the attack was repulsed, and it takes a certain amount of time to reorganize the attack, the second-line position is essentially to block the Japanese army as a means to buy time for the ambush position behind, the morning is over, Zhang Wei wants to grind foreign workers with the devil in the afternoon, it is best if you don't hit me, I don't hit you, or lightly fight, the two sides will build a harmonious battlefield together.
In a battle with low intensity, the teaching brigade does not necessarily need mortars, and the soldiers of the teaching brigade cannot fight without suppressing firepower.
Wait until the ambush position and then tear your face, Dong Erli's two 82 guns should not be needed in the afternoon, just let the mortars and mortars rest and recuperate, and when they arrive at the ambush position, let the 82 mortars open again!
"Yes!"
Dong Erli didn't understand too much what Zhang Wei meant when he said that he didn't fight, but he knew that his mortar platoon could get rest, which was enough for him, the commander of the 82 mortar platoon.
Li Shaoyan's two heavy machine gun platoons are also major consumers of ammunition, and the six heavy machine guns deployed on the right side of the highway position and the position of the teaching brigade fired a total of nearly 20,000 rounds of 79 heavy machine gun shells, and the bulk of these 20,000 rounds of ammunition was still on the right side of the position.
After the battlefield and positions were cleaned up, in addition to the mortar platoon position, Zhang Wei and Li Shaoyan, as well as the two heavy machine guns of the heavy fire squadron, returned to their original positions and maintained the posture of facing the enemy head-on, and Zhang Wei asked He Kun to replenish a batch of 79 heavy machine gun shells and 82 mortar shells to Li Shaoyan's heavy fire squadron, and distributed them to the heavy machine gun platoon on the second line of the position of the teaching brigade and the 82 mortar platoon of the mortar position.
After this battle, the biggest benefit was He Kun's baggage platoon, a large amount of ammunition was consumed for the soldiers of the baggage platoon, as well as the horses pulling the cart to reduce a lot of burden, and the hidden mule and horse carts carried down boxes of ammunition.
Fortunately, before the battle, the soldiers carried their own ammunition sets, and the baggage platoon carried an excess of ammunition to ensure a sufficient supply of ammunition and not be interrupted.
