When Zhang Wei was ready for battle, the main force of the second brigade of the 15th Wing had already arrived at the offensive position, and the whole brigade only sent some stragglers to reconnoiter at first, that is, those seen in Zhang Wei's telescope, and by the time the stragglers withdrew, a brigade had been fully deployed. Ｘ

A nearly complete infantry brigade, with a squadron of infantry artillery attached to it, with a strength of nearly a thousand men, was ready to attack in front of the position of the prepared battalion, while at the same time, the third brigade on the other side, as a diversion force, had launched a surprise attack.

In order to contain the 155th Division and the 58th Division, the 3rd Brigade dispatched two squadrons, and pushed up the 92nd infantry guns and the accompanying rapid-fire guns equipped with the brigade, and after the artillery cover in the rear stopped, the infantry of the two squadrons launched a charge, and when it was more tricky, the focus of the attack was on the junction of the 155th Division and the 58th Division, and the other squadron sent a small number of troops to attack and harass the position of the 155th Division.

The defenders of the junction are the headquarters of the 58th Regiment of the 172nd Brigade of the 344th Division, and the regiment commander is Cai Renjie. Before participating in the war, the 58th Division supplemented the troops with the division's honorary regiment (the honorary regiment is composed of wounded veterans who returned to the team) and some of the strong men recruited from Sichuan.

"Don't mess around!" The officers shouted, not long after the shelling ended, the figure of the Japanese attacking troops had already appeared in the eyes of the soldiers, and the untrained recruits saw the bright bayonets, some of them could not hold on, began to waver, and even opened fire to strengthen their courage, and were soon reprimanded by the officers and veterans, even so, the sound of indiscriminate guns continued to sound on the position.

After the Japanese attack formation dispersed, they attacked in a wide frontal skirmisher line, and the light machine gun group, rifle group, and grenadier group advanced in echelons, and launched the attack under the leadership of Jun Cao.

The indiscriminate placement of guns on the stomach did not have any impact on the Japanese charge, and the bullets fired in this situation did not even know where they hit. And the distance between the two sides is getting closer little by little. When it came to the distance where it could be fired, the lieutenant ** officer on the position gave the order to open fire, and the soldiers who couldn't bear it frantically poured fire on the Japanese army, and the sound of rifle machine guns came and went.

The dense firepower caused more Japanese troops to fall down, and the Japanese light machine gun group and grenadier group immediately lay down after continuing to assault for a certain distance, and advanced suppressive fire. The light machine guns of the 58th Division were fighting happily, a grenade smashed down vertically, the explosion blew the machine gun into scrap metal, and the machine gunner lost his life, the light machine gun repeatedly suppressed the position of the 58th Division on the front line, the bullet hit the trench, several unlucky soldiers were hit by the bullet in the steel helmet and face, and fell into the trench, the heavy machine gun position behind the front line trench was still safe, the heavy machine gun spat tongue of fire, and swept away the rifle group of the Japanese assault, swept down many Japanese soldiers, and also boosted the morale of the Chinese soldiers on the position.

"Boom" with a loud bang, a direct artillery shell hit the side of the heavy machine gun position, killing several ammunition soldiers and deputy gun commanders, the Japanese army in the distance rapid-fire guns and 92 infantry guns stared at the heavy machine gun position, trying to use direct fire to knock out the first fire pillar. At the same time, infantry artillery and grenadiers also increased their fire to attack infantry positions, directly shelling ** trenches with grenades and shotguns.

Explosions and dead people filled the trenches, and some of the recruits who couldn't hold back had a nervous breakdown, so they simply climbed out of the trenches and fled backwards.

When the officers supervising the battle in the rear saw that some recruits had fled, they immediately led their men up, and the light machine guns fired at the fleeing soldiers, knocking down one piece, and then grabbing a few more and shooting them with rifles, so that the position was restored to stability.

The sound of gunfire and explosions continued, and the first-line position finally stabilized and resisted the attack of the Japanese army, of course, the casualties were very heavy, the light and heavy machine guns and infantry guns of the Japanese army continued to fire, and the bullets on the position were not necessarily dense, not necessarily violent, but there were bombs all the time.

What is inconsistent with this is that the Japanese infantry will no longer continue to advance after advancing and attacking for a while, but lying on the ground and shooting at **, which is also the most annoying tactic, slimy and you compare shooting skills, shooting, the Chinese soldiers in the position continue to fall, and the casualties of the Japanese army in the shooting are not much, after the first few Japanese soldiers were killed by the grenades thrown by the ** soldiers, the Japanese troops behind have retreated, try to avoid the grenades of **, and do not leave the range of the rifle, and then shoot against **, this style of play, It can be said to be disgusting and strange, after a while, the mortar of ** began to fire support, the shells exploded in front of the formation, and the Japanese infantry who were lying down fired back for a while and then took the initiative to withdraw from the battle and stop the attack. More than a dozen corpses were left in front of the position, and this casualty figure was not much for the attacking infantry squadron.

At the same time, preparations for the second round of Japanese offensive began, and what the Japanese wanted to do was to contain the main forces of the 155th and 58th Divisions with a feint.

There was a burst of cheers on the position, repelling the Japanese attack, for most of the new recruits on the battlefield, it was indeed worth celebrating, of course, they were even more fortunate that they did not die under the bullets of the Japanese or the warlords.

As soon as the attack on the junction of the 58th Division ended, the sound of gunfire for the small-scale disturbing attack of the 155th Division was followed by the sound of fierce battles and shouts of killing. Morita Fanzheng, the commander of the 15th Wing, observed the situation on the battlefield, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The sound of guns and artillery in the battle can not only be heard by the Japanese army, Zhang Wei can also be heard, just now he was shocked into a cold sweat, if his estimate is correct, the earliest encounter is to test the reality of the positions everywhere, although he repelled the attack, but the Japanese army also knows its own strength, compared with the other two divisions, the assault column, or the position of the preparation battalion, is relatively easy to break through.

Then it also means that the focus of the Japanese army's offensive will definitely be its own position, and the guns and cannons that I hear now are probably all feints.

Therefore, Zhang Wei ordered to further strengthen the position, each light machine gun group should build at least two light machine gun positions, and after firing a bullet tray or being attacked by artillery fire and grenadiers, it must quickly move the position, and the same is true for heavy machine guns, digging more spare firing positions.

It was ordered to remove all stones and gravel from the position to prevent secondary casualties.

"Battalion commander, the little devil's stragglers have been over there, should we shoot and expel them." Zhang Wei was lying in the trench of the second company on the first line, and Mu Chao next to him watched the devil's stragglers go back and forth, trying to defeat them.

"Don't hit him, keep it, it's a group of monkeys who are exploring the way to test the firepower, the earliest attack is to test our strength, this still wants to test, now don't fight back, the guards pass my order to each company, no one is allowed to shoot." r
