Chapter 209: Continuous Attack
The officers and soldiers of the 46th Division of two battalions rushed into the position, the Japanese defense system collapsed, and a large number of Chinese soldiers in gray uniforms poured into the position.
"Kill!" The morale of the Chinese soldiers was extremely high at the moment of rushing into the position, the battalion company commander led by the 46th Division took the lead, holding a gun and fighting with the devils, although the soldiers were many recruits, they could not stand the many people, and they did not want to fight with the Japanese army, with the strength of the Japanese army, they could not bear this crazy way of fighting, not to mention the preparation battalion, Zhang Wei took the second company to reinforce the past, and the first and third companies took the lead in attacking and killing, and the devils were in a melee.
Zhang Wei was too lazy to fight with the Japanese bayonets, and took the captured Browning pistol for a while, overturning a number of Japanese soldiers, the strength of the surrounding Japanese troops was already at a disadvantage, and when he encountered this kind of hand-to-hand combat, he couldn't last long, and the Japanese captain knew that he couldn't bear it at all, and he took the lead in retreating after barely resisting for a while.
"The little devil can't hold on!"
The Japanese army in the fight was surrounded by the Chinese army with extremely superior strength, and the Japanese army on the battlefield was almost divided into several small pieces, and the Chinese army fought hand-to-hand, in this inferior force, and hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese army also knew that there was a way to survive in hand-to-hand combat, once they were left alone or the number was too small, the bayonets of the Chinese army would pierce them into a hornet.
The overall resistance of the Japanese army did not last long, after the commander took the lead in retreating, all the Japanese troops began to retreat and flee, and the Chinese army pursued and opened fire, causing heavy casualties to the retreating Japanese troops, not to mention that some could not withdraw at all, and could only be trapped in the crowd of the Chinese army and be dealt with.
The retreating Japanese army retreated, Zhang Wei quickly ordered the preparation of the army to gather troops, the friendly troops on both wings rushed out of the position directly after the Japanese retreated, ran out of the trench to pursue, after capturing the first position, the morale of the troops has reached the highest point, although Zhang Wei also thought about the problem of adventurous, but now the friendly troops on both wings have rushed out, if they do not go, there will be a gap in the middle of the attacking force, they go up, if something happens, the troops can still retreat.
There was no time to think more, Zhang Wei ordered the preparation battalion to follow up with the friendly forces, continue the pursuit, and after capturing the first line of positions, due to the pursuit of the infantry, the chariot could only temporarily stop in view of the chaotic situation on the battlefield and the terrain, and the infantry continued to pursue in front.
The preparatory battalion caught up after the friendly troops rushed out of pursuit, opened fire on the retreating Japanese troops, and at the same time prepared to capture the second line of defense of the Japanese army, the Japanese army did not return fire on the way to retreat, and carried the guns from the back, and retreated vigorously, leaving more than 20 corpses on the way.
The second line of defense of the Japanese army was not a line of trenches, but intermittent detachment-level trenches, which were stationed in each of the completed detachment-level fortifications in units of detachment or detachment level.
The retreating Japanese troops retreated for a long time, and the attacking Chinese troops finally discovered the various key fortifications of the Japanese army, although the Japanese fortifications were small, but they were piled up on the outside, which was easy to identify.
Zhang Wei saw the obvious Japanese fortifications and ordered the preparation battalion to spread out and lie down, the officers and men of the preparation battalion reacted quickly, and immediately lay down when they saw the Japanese army, while the friendly troops on both flanks were still rushing until the Japanese fire net hit, and did not stop the pursuit.
There were light machine guns and grenadiers in all the key points of the Japanese army, and the Japanese troops who had just retreated were just about to block the pursuing troops behind them, and the Japanese troops were also bold, and they even waited until the retreating troops completely left the firing range before opening fire, and the 46th Division on both flanks was still in pursuit, and the Japanese troops suddenly opened fire, and the soldiers who rushed to the front were swept away.
"Don't chase, shoot back on the spot!"
"Finish off the devil's position!"
Everyone fell to the ground and attacked the Japanese fire.
Zhang Wei carefully observed on the ground, and the Japanese army in front of him took six or seven detachment-level fortifications as the backbone of the defense, and each point had machine gun fire.
A grenade exploded in front of the preparatory battalion, and the Japanese grenadiers in various key points bombarded the attacking Chinese troops after machine gun fire, and the attacking troops all lay down in place and fired at the Japanese troops in the fortifications.
"A company of grenadiers to fight, take them down as soon as possible!"
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Qiu Wei personally went to command the company's brigade to attack with six grenadiers, in order to increase the effect of the attack, the six grenadiers were hit, and they attacked the Japanese fortifications one by one, and the Japanese grenades and rifle machine guns fired continuously, and the preparation battalion and the friendly troops on both flanks had already suffered considerable casualties.
Light machine guns and rifles were firing heavily, suppressing the Japanese in order to cover the fire of grenadiers.
Six grenadiers were aimed at the same target in the middle of the attacking team, which was done to increase the effectiveness of the killing, and it was far more useful for six grenades to hit each fortification at the same time than to scatter the attack.
"Open!"
Six grenades threw grenadiers and hit near a Japanese fortification, the explosive power of the six grenades made the Japanese troops in the fortifications stop firing, and the anti-personnel fragments of the grenades killed and wounded nearly half of the Japanese soldiers in the fortifications.
Two successive grenadier attacks allowed the Japanese firepower of the Japanese army, the Japanese army in the fortifications at first used light machine guns and grenadiers as the fire pillar to kill and withstand the attack of the Chinese army, the Chinese army was suddenly killed by fire, and could only temporarily shoot at the Japanese army, the Japanese army thought that it could delay the Chinese army for a long time, but did not expect a burst of explosion to smash over.
Listening to the sound of the explosion and the lethal power, the Japanese army quickly judged that this was the 89-type heavy grenadier barrel they used themselves, and there were very few grenadiers in the Chinese army at present, and there were no small-caliber mortars, and the Japanese army did not expect that the Chinese army actually used curved firearms to work on the job, and the successive attacks made the Japanese army's firepower weaken rapidly, and one of the rounds of attacks directly threw grenades into the fortifications, and the light machine guns in the fortifications were turned into scrap metal.
"Rush!"
Light machine gun suppression, grenadier attack, after a burst of explosion, the infantry lying on the ground launched a charge, rushed to the Japanese fortifications, the Japanese army was still firing back, light machine gun strafing in the attack formation of the Chinese army, knocked down a group of people, but the intensity of the return fire was not as strong as before, and there were only three or four machine guns left in continuous fire, which really did not pose much threat to the attack troops of nearly three battalions.
The men of the 46th Division and the preparatory battalion launched a charge, and the people who rushed in threw out a large number of grenades, and rushed into the Japanese fortifications with the smoke and cover from the grenade explosion. Point defense and can not support each other, far from the good luck of the Japanese army in the first line of defense, can not be defeated, and can not escape.
Not long after the two sides killed together, most of the devils in the second line of defense were annihilated.
