Chapter 251: Knocking on the Fortress (2)
The infantry of the two infantry companies rushed to the foxhole position, the Japanese position was chaotic at this time, the continuous bombardment of the battle defense artillery greatly interfered with the machine gun fire of the Japanese fortress, the Japanese army in the foxhole could only rely on their own firepower to resist, the battle between the two sides reached the most fierce moment, the firepower that the machine gun fire in the Japanese fortress could provide became very weak under the threat of the battle defense artillery, the foxhole's own firepower could not block the infantry of the preparation battalion, and the company was only fifty or sixty meters away from the Japanese position.
"Put!"
"Load, put again!"
Up to now, the four guns have fired more than 100 shells, knocking out four Japanese forts, and now only the remaining four forts, the fortress fortifications built by the Japanese army improvised are difficult to deal with for the national infantry who lack offensive weapons and weak firepower of the detachment, and the battle defense artillery is even more difficult to deal with for the Japanese fortresses that cannot be moved.
In front of the infantry was the tiger, in front of the flat-firing artillery, like a chicken and a dog, after firing, the four guns only took less than ten minutes to knock out half of the fortress, and the rest were also doomed to be destroyed.
Of course, the Japanese army did not fail to take countermeasures, just now, Zhang Wei was almost hit by the machine gun that came over, but fortunately, Zhang Wei hid behind the shield of the battle defense artillery, and all the bullets hit the gun shield, and the other artillery group was not so lucky.
In order to interfere with the fire of the anti-artillery artillery, the Japanese infantry fought for a while on the anti-artillery position, and there was a anti-aircraft gun on the left side, which was hit by a string of machine gun shells and a few grenades, and the gunners suffered half of the casualties, and a 37 anti-aircraft gun was also damaged.
Seeing that he was attacked, Zhang Wei ordered the battle defense artillery to move forward.
Zhang Wei and the position of the battle defense artillery, and then retreated, it was also within the firing range of the Japanese infantry weapons, he simply went the opposite, pushed forward, accelerated the speed to kill the Japanese fortress, and supported the operation of the first and second companies, four battle defense guns continued to shoot after advancing forward, and two 82 mortars were still in their original positions, firing at the Japanese foxholes.
"Speed up, knock down all the Japanese fortresses, and clear the way for the infantry!"
The commander of the Japanese army, Kawashima, looked at the situation in front of him, half of the fortress had been knocked out, hundreds of Chinese soldiers were storming the foxhole positions, and the Japanese troops guarding were also bombarded by mortars, and the positions were in disarray. Kawashima did not expect that the Chinese army would use the battle defense artillery to shoot at close range, first charge with infantry, and then attack the fortress with the battle defense artillery, and in just a short time, most of the fortress that he was the pillar of the battle defense was knocked out by the battle defense artillery, and he lost the machine gun firepower, and his position was equivalent to losing half of it.
"Miscellaneous soldiers, everyone, fill the front-line positions! Block the Chinese army at the foxhole! ”
Kawashima had already judged that the Chinese army fighting with him had strong combat effectiveness, but he didn't expect that he would actually carry combat defense artillery with the infantry to attack, he didn't calculate this step, he would not stop there, he thought about it, looked at the foxhole in front of him, he knew that this was the breakthrough point of the Chinese army, and if he wanted to break through the entire position from the foxhole, Kawashima's only way was to put the Chinese army attacking the foxhole outside and prevent them from coming in.
Only in this way can the position be held.
Under Kawashima's order, except for the necessary signal corps, the rest of the soldiers who were not in the front-line combat position all rushed to the foxhole on the first line, and the final bottom line of the Japanese army was the foxhole.
Groups of Japanese soldiers and non-combatants who were responsible for carrying ammunition took up their weapons one after another and went to the vicinity of the foxhole along the communication ditch to reinforce them, those with rifles took rifles, and those without weapons took bayonets and grenades, and unnecessary non-combatants were pulled up under Kawashima's orders.
"Kill!"
The officers and men of the 1st and 2nd companies rushed to the nearest distance, and at a distance of 50 or 60 meters, they launched a charge against the Japanese foxholes, and the Japanese troops in the foxholes and standing firing trenches were not vegetarians, and the rifle machine guns and grenadiers desperately greeted the first and second companies, and the officers and men of the first and second companies continued to fall in front of the position.
"Machine guns, hurry up! Fight the devil's gun! "A squad leader of the first company asked his machine gun team to open fire and hit the crooked light machine gun in the Japanese foxhole, which had caused seven or eight casualties to the company just now.
The light machine gunner with the turntable machine gun did not lie down, half kneeling, and opened fire with the gun, the cartridge above the machine gun continued to rotate with the sound of the bullet, and the machine gun bullet shot along the straight trajectory to the Japanese foxhole, the crooked handle that was shooting was not concentrated, the Japanese machine gunner in the foxhole squatted down, turned over from the back of the foxhole, and entered the standing firing trench next to it.
"The devil has run away!" The Heavy failed to take out the crooked handle and yelled.
As soon as the words fell, the transferred Japanese machine guns rang out again, and the machine gun shooter who was operating the light machine gun was hit by the light machine gun bullet after the transfer and fell in a pool of blood.
The squad leader shouted with red eyes and ran to the side of the machine gunner, who was hit by several light machine gun bullets and was killed on the spot, and the squad leader did not care about the body of the machine gunner, picked up the machine gun on the ground, and personally picked it up and strafed it.
"Little devil! Go to hell! The squad leader slammed the bloody trigger and fired the crooked light machine gun with his light machine gun.
"Boom!" A grenade crashed into the foxhole of a crooked light machine gun, blowing the machine gun and the heavy to pieces......
The first company organized several attacks, but unfortunately failed to open the hole in the Japanese position, both sides knew that this was the most critical moment, and they used all their strength, the battle defense artillery has not yet knocked out all the Japanese fortresses, the only remaining fortress is still using machine guns to shoot a company of infantry, plus the original light machine guns, rifles and grenadiers of the Japanese army in the foxhole, it is also a firepower net that cannot be underestimated, and it has not been knocked down several times in a row.
Zhang Wei saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, there were still two fortresses left in front of him, and the Japanese troops in these two fortresses used heavy machine guns to strafe the troops of the first company that were attacking the foxhole position, and the attack of the first company was a failure.
"Hurry up and shoot! Knock that fortress out of Lao Tzu! ”
If all the Japanese fortresses were not destroyed, the infantry of the first company would not be able to go up at all, and if they could not attack the Japanese positions, Zhang Wei's tactical goal would not be achieved.
The barrels of the four anti-aircraft guns were all smoking, brass shells were thrown all over the ground, and there were many bullet marks caused by Japanese bullets on the shields of the anti-aircraft guns.
Seeing that Zhang Wei was in a hurry, the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company couldn't care about anything else, so he personally opened the bolt and reloaded the shell.
"Put!"
"Boom!" The grenade hit the fortress, the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company opened the bolt again, the hot shell withdrew from the chamber, and the gunners around him quickly brought the shells, loaded the shells before the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company, and fired them again.
After a violent explosion, the target fortress was hit by two grenades in succession at close range, which was devastated, and the logs that built the fortress were scattered and burned......
