The Japanese fortress was all knocked out by the war defense artillery, eight fortresses were hit by the war defense shells, the building materials of the fortress were blown up, a mess, the battle defense grenade exploded and ignited a part of the logs, causing a small scale of burning, the defenders in the fortress, except for a part of the survivors who ran out with machine guns, all the others were killed, and the fortress defenders who really survived without being injured were only a dozen people, bringing out a heavy machine gun and three crooked light machine guns.

At this point, the defensive core of the Japanese army was completely destroyed, and the preparatory battalion also paid a considerable price in order to defeat them, one of the four battle defense guns that directly attacked the fortress was damaged, and the gunners suffered more than a dozen casualties, as for the infantry who attacked directly, the casualties were even more.

Before the anti-aircraft guns fired, the infantry of the first company rushed up with the Japanese machine-gun fire on their heads, and the corpses of the dead soldiers could be seen everywhere along the way, and even now, the casualties of the first and second companies are still increasing.

The final focus of contention between the two sides was the Japanese army's foxhole position, the first and second companies of the preparatory battalion repeatedly attacked, the Japanese army did not give in much, concentrated all the forces to defend the foxhole, Zhang Wei took the battle defense artillery to knock out the Japanese fortress, destroyed the Japanese army's defense core, but it did not mean that he killed most of the Japanese army's living forces, and the number of Japanese troops operating machine guns in the fortress was not large. The Japanese defenders were more than half an infantry brigade, and even if they suffered many setbacks, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and the strength was still there, and almost all the available forces were pulled to the vicinity of the foxholes to block one company and two companies.

The soldiers of the main attacking company had just suppressed a Japanese light machine gun group with their front feet and knocked out two Japanese infantrymen, and there were devils on the back feet who filled in and fired grenadiers at the company, and they came down several times, and the Japanese attacked again, and the battle was extremely tragic.

The commander of the first company, Qiu Wei, stomped his feet in a hurry and personally led people to rush once, but he also failed, and the entire battlefield fell into a stalemate.

The scene of the fight between the second company and the Japanese army, Zhang Wei saw it in his eyes, he knew that the last line of defense of the Japanese army would definitely be defended, and now, the artillery shelling of the Japanese ballade position by the rear mountain artillery has long been stopped, so close, no one dares to guarantee that the shells will not hit their own people, the Japanese firepower near the foxhole can be carried forward to the maximum, and no matter how elite his two infantry companies are, they will not be able to attack quickly, and the average quality of the Japanese army is there.

"The battle defense artillery will be withdrawn first, and the 82nd mortar platoon of Sanlianhe will be called to follow me!"

Zhang Wei ordered them to evacuate with artillery, and then let Zheng Yiqun's third company and 82nd mortar platoon come up to reinforce the first and second companies.

Zheng Yiqun's three companies did not need to coordinate, and they had been guarding the battle defense artillery near Zhang Wei, and after Zhang Wei gave the order, he helped the war defense artillery to retreat while making combat preparations.

"Battalion commander, the eighty-two mortar is out of shells, what should I do?" Zheng Yiqun asked, Zhang Wei asked the 82 mortar to follow him, just to let the 82 mortar shoot closer to support the charge of the first and second companies, but now, Zheng Yiqun told him that there were no shells!

"Damn, why are there no shells!" Zhang Wei scolded in a hurry.

"They attacked with the infantry, and the 82 mortar didn't carry many shells, a total of 20 rounds."

Of course, Zhang Wei knew that the mortar squad couldn't carry many shells on its own, and the cursing just now was just in a hurry to vent his emotions.

Now I can't count on mortars, I can only continue to increase the intensity of infantry attacks, there are only three companies of infantry available at hand, and if I don't tear apart the Japanese foxhole positions, everything I have done before will be in vain, and the Japanese army will take the opportunity to counterattack again, and it is unknown how many people can go back to their own preparation battalion.

"Zheng Yiqun, bring someone with me, can you do it?" The third company is basically a recruit, and there were many casualties in the previous battles, and in defensive operations, the quality requirements for soldiers are not high, as long as they can shoot and shoot and drop bombs, a recruit who has just entered the battlefield can hold on in the defensive battle.

Zheng Yiqun's third company is mostly new recruits, and Zhang Wei originally did not plan to let the third company go to the front line to attack, but now the situation has changed, and it is completely impossible to do it.

Zheng Yiqun glanced at the soldiers behind him: "Battalion commander, no problem, what can be done in one company and two companies, and one company can do the same thing in three companies!" Zheng Yiqun gritted his teeth and said, not only referring to the soldiers, but also referring to himself, difficult work, Zhang Wei handed over to Qiu Wei's first company and Mu Chao's second company, Zheng Yiqun's military rank and level, the same qualifications as Qiu Wei and Mu Chao, but lack too much actual combat experience.

has a task, he will always be ranked last, people have rods and scales in their hearts, although Zhang Wei did this to protect him, after a long time, Zheng Yiqun will not be convinced, Zhang Wei's question stimulated the resentment in his heart.

"Good!"

Zhang Wei looked at the soldiers of the third company behind him: "Brothers, now the battle situation is urgent, the brothers of the first and second companies helped us defeat the Japanese fortress with their lives, and now the devil is desperate with us, if we don't take down that position, all the brothers will die in vain!" ”

"Don't you dare to rush forward!"

The soldiers of the Third Company may have never seen this kind of battle, and they all hesitated.

"The battalion commander asked us, do you dare to go up and fight the Japanese!" Zheng Yiqun shouted.

"Dare!" The loud shout gave Zhang Wei the answer, although these soldiers are inexperienced, but the blood and courage have been stimulated, at this juncture, with the blood and bravery, it is enough to dare to rush forward.

"Okay, everyone listen to my orders, rush forward, and reinforce one company after another!"

"Kill!" The third company was only more than 60 meters away from the first and second companies, and the soldiers were full of strength, and soon rushed over, Zhang Wei was accompanied by a signal corps and a division bugleman, and followed up in the rear of the third company, what he wanted to do was to command the troops to tear the hole in the Japanese position, and the first line of rushing to kill and fight bayonets had nothing to do with him now.

The first company attacked several times, the fight was very miserable, the soldiers of the first company finally appeared to be unsupported, it was a person who would be tired, the Japanese army concentrated most of its troops near the foxhole, and the desperate Japanese army fought at close range, it was extremely difficult, the Japanese rifle was accurate, the machine gun was flexible, after each round of shooting, there were many soldiers of the preparation battalion who fell, and the direct attack at the platoon level, Qiu Wei and Mu Chao did no less than five times, one drum and then decline, three and exhausted, and fought again and again, even if it was one or two companies and then elite, they were tired.

When Zhang Wei came up with reinforcements from the third company, a platoon of the second company had just rushed into the Japanese position, and the soldiers fought in with bayonets and stabbed to death the Japanese soldiers guarding the foxhole.

The grenadiers and infantry guns in the rear shelled several shots at the positions that had just been captured by the 2nd Company, and the artillery bombardment, combined with the attack of the reserves, had not yet occupied the platoon that had entered the Japanese position for five minutes, and the Japanese counterattack drove them out.
