1093. Softly Armored Vehicles
This time, the demolition team appeared very specially, two wheelbarrows with many layers of quilts in front of them were pushed out, and the key was that at least seven or eight layers of old quilts were soaked with water. w?ww?. r?a?n?w?ena`c?om
When the wheelbarrow was pushed to the front of the position, the artillery platoon of the 9th Company also began to receive orders to shell the Japanese heavy machine guns, and after a few rounds of correction shells, the mortar shells began to explode in front of the Japanese 92 heavy machines repeatedly.
Although the Japanese machine guns could not be blown up at once, most of the mortars of the Ninth Company were now firing smoke grenades, and in front of the Japanese heavy machine gun positions, bursts of smoke were rising.
Seeing that the mortars of the first class appeared, the Japanese mortars also appeared and began to fight against each other, but as soon as the Japanese mortars appeared, it meant that all the heavy weapons on their current positions appeared.
The machine gun company of the 3rd Battalion immediately bit the Japanese mortars, and the Japanese army originally deployed only a small team of men and horses to defend the forward position of Majiazui.
A Japanese squad is generally only equipped with light machine guns and grenadier groups, and now its heavy machine guns and mortars are all squadron-level configurations, presumably for the purpose of defending positions.
But in Luo Zhicheng's eyes, such a firepower configuration is already at the squadron level, and the mortars of the machine gun company must assist the artillery platoon of the ninth company at this time.
The Japanese army had only two heavy machine guns and two mortars in total, and how could they withstand the flanking fire of five or six mortars of the machine gun company of the third battalion and two mortars of the ninth artillery platoon.
Soon it was beaten in all directions, one of them was blown up, and the remaining one did not dare to come forward again, and now on the position, except for a few light machine guns that continued to block the stragglers of the ninth company, only some rifles were left to shoot scattered.
The Japanese army's 92 heavy machine was troubled by smoke bombs and could only make blind shots with short point fire, but this was a waste of ammunition and could not play the role of a blockade front.
The main purpose of all this shelling by the 3rd Battalion and the 9th Company was to make the 9th Company's demolition team move forward smoothly, and now the small wheelbarrow of the blasting group has finally set off.
Two moving "monsters" suddenly appeared on the battlefield, which seemed very abrupt, and the Japanese rifle light machine guns immediately fired at this "monster".
But the bullet hit the seven or eight soaked quilts, like water sucked up by a sponge, and disappeared silently, and the warrior pushing the wheelbarrow behind was fine, and the demoman who followed behind was fine.
After the bullet encountered the cotton wool soaked with water, it was hindered layer by layer, and finally it could not penetrate, which was the result of the test of the Ninth Company on the training ground.
Without the attack of artillery shells, it was difficult for bullets alone to penetrate this specially made soft-armed "armored vehicle", and at this time, the light machine guns of the Ninth Company were also covering the advance of the wheelbarrow, suppressing the enemy's light machine guns and rifles.
The two wheelbarrows gradually approached the two fortresses of the Japanese Majiazui position, and when they were about to reach the fortress, the Japanese heavy machine guns inside came to their senses and fired desperately.
But by this time, the wheelbarrow had already flashed to the point where the hole was drilling, and at the same time, the demoman behind the wheelbarrow threw a grenade of smoke grenades.
In front of the Japanese fortress, bursts of dark clouds of smoke rose again, and the wheelbarrow took advantage of the smoke to move forward desperately, and finally approached the fortress.
The Demomen pulled the fuse from the bag of explosives that had been prepared to tie it to the long stick, and stabbed it into the hole of the fort, causing the devils inside to panic and try to push the bag out.
But the outside had been held up by the long stick, and it couldn't retreat, and just a few seconds later, a loud explosion exploded, and the enemy's fortress was blown open at once, and the devils inside, needless to say, were all dead.
The other fortress could not escape the fate of being blown up, and when the Japanese fortress and heavy machine guns were blown up, the Ninth Company immediately sounded the trumpet of the charge.
The stragglers of a platoon who had been waiting in front for a long time took the lead at this time and rushed into the Majiazui No. 1 defensive position, and then the main force of the Ninth Company behind also followed.
The 7th and 8th Companies of the 3rd Battalion also moved forward to protect the flank of the 9th Company, and once the 9th Company rushed into the Japanese army's first defensive position, it immediately showed strong combat effectiveness.
Bayonets, broadswords, grenades, etc., fought to the death with the devils in the trenches, and the mortars of the machine gun company of the third battalion now began to fire extendedly, and began to block and strike at the enemy's second defense position.
At this time, under the reeds behind Majiazui, the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army also rushed to Majiazui, in order to prevent the Japanese reinforcements from entering Majiazui, Luo Zhicheng immediately ordered the seventh and eighth companies to attack from the flank.
The Seventh Company and the Eighth Company were inserted from the two wings of the Majiazui position, and now they took the opportunity that the devils could not be separated after the Ninth Company entered Majiazui, and they were smoothly inserted into the left and right wings.
This plug can scare the devils, and the devils in Majiazui can't wait for the reinforcements to arrive, so they quickly give up their positions and retreat continuously, for fear of being dumplings made by the **.
The Japanese reinforcements behind had no choice but to watch as the central ** occupied the Majiazui position, and wanted to continue to counterattack and regain the position, but received an order to retreat, so they had to retreat stupidly.
After the Ninth Company occupied the Majiazui position, it held on to the spot and confronted the Japanese army under Luxia, and the Japanese army was temporarily unable to counterattack, and did not dare to counterattack, after all, it was not about fighting for a place, but about keeping Fengxincheng behind him.
The brother troops of the three battalions on the left and right flanks did not keep up, and some were still fighting with the Japanese army on the ground, and the three battalions did not dare to venture forward.
Luo Zhicheng ordered the 3rd Battalion to temporarily move to the position for defense, the 9th Company to defend the front of Majiazui, and the 7th and 8th Companies to protect the 9th Company on the flank and rear as before, and attack at any time.
With three battalions alone, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, and war is sometimes like this, you can't fight it in one go, and after a while, there will be a turnaround.
Now there are a large number of Japanese troops stationed in Fengxincheng, and the third battalion cannot stupidly break in, and it needs to work with the brother troops to fight steadily and step by step.
Moreover, in the positional warfare of the large corps, as an infantry battalion, even if it is a reinforced battalion in an elite unit, it must obey the orders of its superiors and must not mess around without permission.
Luo Zhicheng telegraphed Liu Guangyu, head of the regiment, to report on the current battle situation, and Regiment Commander Liu also asked the third battalion to temporarily hold its troops and wait for other troops to follow before making the next move.
That is to say, the relationship between Luo Zhicheng and Liu Guangyu is very iron, and it is enough to contact them by phone, like some commanders who have just been transferred or airborne, any order from the superior must be formed by the adjutant in paper and kept as a case record.
In addition to the combat report and combat record, we are also always on guard against the change of fortune and shirking responsibility from the superiors, and many subordinates are killed by the superiors because they did not keep the bottom.
Although Luo Zhicheng of the third battalion also knows this meaning, he has always trusted Liu Guangyu very much, and believes that Liu Guangyu still regards him as a descendant.
Besides, the third battalion is the main force of the 152nd regiment, not only the regiment commander is paying attention, but even the division commander and even the army commander are paying attention.
