Maybe the Japanese army was also hurt, after capturing the Japanese position, the Japanese army did not launch a surprise attack on the lost position in the middle of the night, but stayed honestly for a night, the Japanese army was also seriously injured in the fierce battle, but unfortunately the soldiers of the preparation battalion were tense all night, making many people tired, and the next morning, Zhang Wei was woken up by his own herald.

The reason for waking himself up was not because of anything else, but because of the order from above, the battle damage and the results, Zhang Wei and the overnight sent someone to report, and reported to Qiu Qingquan and the 276th Regiment once, just in the morning, the order came, first praised himself, said some polite words, and then ordered the preparatory battalion to return to the formation of the assault column, no longer worthy of the 46th Division to fight.

Zhang Wei read the dispatch document that came, and it was the people of the 276th Regiment of the 46th Division who brought the documents, and the words of commendation and encouragement on the document were of little value, and they were written by the division headquarters of the 46th Division, and at first glance they were useless nonsense, such as "The battalion fought bravely, achieved great results, defeated the enemy, and so on......".

The transfer order was drawn up by Qiu Qingquan, which indicated the assembly area, and asked him to bring all the men, horses, equipment and reinforcements to the military headquarters of the 27th Army, and reminded himself to "be more careful" on the road. ”

Although the preparatory battalion won the battle, Zhang Wei could also see between the lines that Qiu Maniac asked him to retreat, obviously seeing that the casualties of the preparatory battalion were too large, Qiu Maniac had the idea of protecting the preparatory battalion, after all, the infantry formed into an assault column is also a battalion of the preparatory battalion, if it is exhausted, if the assault column encounters the Japanese army in the future, it must not use chariots and anti-aircraft artillery to fight against the Japanese infantry.

Zhang Wei was quite satisfied with this order, although yesterday was a big victory, but the casualties of the preparation battalion were also obvious to all, and now the whole battalion added up to only more than 200 people. If you accompany the devil to spend it in this kind of tug-of-war and storming battle, Zhang Wei is almost the same as the commander of the bare-pole battalion, and he is preparing for continuous combat in the battalion, and he was on guard all night last night, and the people are tired and tired, and it is time to rest.

The order for the assembly of the whole battalion was quickly issued, and the Japanese position occupied by the preparatory battalion was handed over to the two battalions of the friendly army, and the two battalion commanders of the friendly army simply said goodbye, Zhang Wei withdrew from the position with the whole battalion, and the whole battalion was more than 200 people.

After the whole battalion was assembled, he returned along the original path, Zhang Wei first had to go to meet with the heavy machine gun company stationed in the rear, and also to pick up the wounded, preparing for the battalion These battles, there were many wounded soldiers, all of whom were sent to the field hospital of the 27th Army for treatment, Zhang Wei had to take these wounded soldiers away, and the soldiers who had fought and were wounded were serious treasures.

After the reinforcement of his own anti-aircraft artillery company retreated, he stayed on the original starting position, and when he saw the team of the preparatory battalion retreating, the company commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company hurriedly followed, Zhang Wei stopped the troops, and handed the transfer order to the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company.

"Commander Qiu's order has come down, and he wants us to go back, and you will follow us to prepare the camp and go together."

The commander of the anti-artillery company roughly read the order and agreed straightforwardly: "Yes, sir!" "The anti-aircraft artillery company is mainly artillery, and it is safer to be protected by infantry from the reserve battalion.

"By the way, how much did you even lose, you patronized the rush last night, and forgot to ask." The anti-aircraft artillery company was also attacked when it attacked the Japanese fortress with the infantry attack, and there were losses in artillery and personnel.

"The casualties are okay, eight killed, eleven wounded, all the wounded are minor injuries, and they dealt with it themselves, but one of the guns was broken, the bolts fell off, and the sights and shields were damaged by shrapnel."

After the commander of the anti-artillery company finished speaking, his face hesitated, and Zhang Wei felt that his words had not been finished, with a tangled expression.

"Brother, if you have something to say, you look like a girl!"

"Sir, I broke a cannon in this battle, according to our rules, if the cannon is broken, you will be punished, if you can't explain it clearly......"

At this point, Zhang Wei understood that this company commander wanted Zhang Wei to help him explain that although his damaged anti-aircraft guns were due to battle damage, it was not a good thing to break the door guns, and it was not uncommon for the national army to discard weapons without permission and report them as battle damage. This company commander and his commander said that they were damaged in battle, and the people above him may not be able to believe it.

If Zhang Wei, the battalion commander, helped him explain, he would be able to "get everything right." ”

"Okay, do your part!"

The anti-aircraft artillery company helped Zhang Wei so much, if Zhang Wei didn't help this little thing, it would be too immoral.

The infantry has the rules of the infantry, the rules of playing with artillery, the infantry taboo to throw away machine guns, the artillery taboo to throw artillery, if you lose these two things, you can't explain clearly, the parties will be punished nine times out of ten, Zhang Wei doesn't know how to deal with artillery, if the machine gunners in the infantry squad discard the light machine guns in their hands at will or when the battle situation is not urgent and dangerous, there is only one result - shooting!

With Zhang Wei's words, the commander of the battle defense artillery company put down his calculations, and the battle defense artillery company and the preparation battalion joined forces and marched backwards.

Walking on the road, the preparation battalion and the battle defense artillery company marched backwards in a marching column, and now this area is very safe, and Zhang Wei did not engage in a combat readiness march and search team.

"Be careful!" The soldiers at the head of the platoon suddenly shouted, followed by the piercing sound of shells breaking through the air, Zhang Wei lay on the ground, the soldiers lay down one after another, after a long time, there was no explosion and no shrapnel, only black spots in the sky that kept flying in the direction of the Japanese army.

"Get up, it's our cannonballs"

The soldiers walking in the front row heard the sound of shelling, and subconsciously automatically lay down on alert, Zhang Wei asked the whole battalion to lift the guard, and the soldiers who fell to the ground also understood, and got up one after another, and from time to time someone looked up.

Just last night, after the preparatory battalion and other units defeated a brigade of the 59th Wing, the artillery units in the rear of the national army began to advance like the infantry units, and the twelve German howitzers of the heavy artillery battalion advanced forward and launched an artillery bombardment on the core of the Japanese 14th Division.

In the artillery mirror of the observation corps, the core position of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army can be seen with the naked eye, and the 12 German-style howitzers of the heavy artillery battalion concentrated their fire on the Sanyiji position, and in the core position of Sanyiji was the division headquarters and command organ of the 14th Division, and the sudden and accurate artillery attack hit the headquarters of the 14th Division, and the officers in the headquarters of the 14th Division were killed and wounded, and the communication network was even interrupted for a time.

Today, when the 14 th Division was engaged in fierce battles for several days and the division headquarters was shelled, the battle was the fiercest day, and since the siege, the casualties of the 14 th Division have accumulated to more than 6,000 people, which is a very heavy casualty for a division and regiment, and the Chinese army has exchanged several times their losses for the present results.

The predicament of the 14th Division forced the Japanese to speed up their actions in other directions, and on the Shangqiu line, the Japanese army, which had been preparing for a long time, finally began to outflank the operation.
