Chapter 200: Wartime Conversations

The Japanese troops on the other side of the river, after this attack, did not launch a counterattack, so the officers and soldiers of the preparatory battalion stayed very peacefully, as long as they did not go out of the position, there would be no danger to their lives, the surrounding battle was very fierce, Zhang Wei hid in the fortifications, and could hear the sound of gunfire in the distance. X

This counterattack, the Japanese army lost almost a squadron of troops, after the battle, did not launch another attack, Zhang Wei opposite the Japanese army even transferred troops to reinforce other directions, in the northwest of Sanyiji, south, etc., ** under the cover of artillery fire launched a fierce attack, especially the use of the 10th Artillery Regiment of the German 15th life howitzer, the Japanese army imposed artillery bombardment on part of the Japanese position, so that the Japanese army was quite difficult, the Japanese army besieged on all sides could only seek self-protection first, and then draw troops from the place where there was a surplus of troops to reinforce, in ** The fierce attack of the team, coupled with the fact that the preparatory battalion had eaten up the Japanese squadron that had crossed the river for the first time, made the Japanese troops on the other side of the river embankment temporarily discourage the idea of counterattacking the river embankment again.

When the assault column was marching in the direction of Sanyiji, Zhang Wei had seen the troops of the 10th Artillery Regiment, a battalion of marching troops, an infantry regiment, artillery trucks, repair vehicles, and all kinds of communication and measurement equipment, and the marching column was quite spectacular.

Although the Japanese did not come, the soldiers of the preparatory battalion did not dare to go out casually, if there was an artillery bombardment, they would lose their lives but they would be unjustly killed, everyone honestly nested in the fortifications, and the preparatory battalion came early in the morning to take over the defense, and after fighting for such a long time, in the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and the preparatory battalion did not bring much food when it came, and the soldiers only had very little dry food on them.

Zhang Wei looked at the watch He Kun gave him, wiped the ashes on the watch, it was almost twelve o'clock, his own stomach was growling, there was no movement in the 106th Division behind, and no one had come to inform him of the reorganization of the troops for almost a morning.

"The troops behind this have been busy all morning and haven't finished sorting out the troops, and they don't even send food at noon." Zhang Wei complained.

Li Changgui came up: "Hey, sir, just wait, it's good to have something to eat, and you still expect those people to send you food and cannonballs to bring it to you?" ”

"Changgui, tell me, how did your previous troops fight so badly when they touched it in the early hours of the morning, and when we came up to the preparatory battalion?" At this time, he was also in a panic, there were people staring at the position, his stomach was growling, Zhang Wei asked Li Changgui to talk about the battle situation of their troops in detail, which could somewhat strengthen the understanding of the enemy in front of him and help him in the subsequent battle.

Li Changgui and Zhang Wei just talked about it briefly, but now Zhang Wei wants to hear specifically, Li Changgui is from the Northeast, and he is easy to speak, since Zhang Wei wants to listen, he is also willing to speak.

"Before midnight last year, our troops were fighting with other regiments, our 631st regiment didn't go, about an hour later, the brothers were squinting, suddenly, the battalion asked everyone to get up, saying that they were going to attack, but as a result, we drove forward, good guys, the ground was full of the corpses of brothers from other regiments, just to take this broken embankment, more people died."

"After driving a while, the battalion commander said that he was preparing for the attack, and then it was simple, and as soon as the people of the other regiments withdrew, the supervising team in the regiment came up. The mortars from the rear fired at the embankment for a while, and then the brethren rushed with bayonets, and from the position to the embankment, the shells of the little devils killed and wounded hundreds of brothers, and when they got closer, they hit us with their guns, and the bullets from the machine guns could be seen clearly wherever they flew at night. ”

Zhang Wei nodded: "That's the little devil's tracer bullet, we also have it." ”

Li Changgui paused for a moment, recalling the storming of the embankment last night.

"Close, the brothers rushed up desperately, the brothers of other regiments in front attacked a few times, the little devils on the embankment lost not small, the battalion commander of our battalion led us up, rushed up, and the little devils on the embankment fought for a while, the position was taken down, they didn't want to die in vain, those who were not killed by me fled back, the brothers lost almost a hundred people, and then they guarded on the embankment, the sky was just dawn, the Japanese crossed the river and counterattacked, first with artillery bombardment, the bombardment was particularly fierce, The cannonballs hit the fortifications and smashed through the position, sir, what kind of cannon did you say, and the devil infantry followed the cannon, and the brothers fought with them, even firing guns and playing with knives, and fought for more than an hour, and the devils were repulsed. ”

"You know the rest, the battalion commander and the company platoon commander are all dead, and I will continue to guard with the remaining brothers."

Li Changgui spoke for a long time, and he finished the whole process of the 106th Division's attack on the embankment.

Zhang Wei estimated that the heavy artillery and cannon of the little devil on the opposite side would be transferred wherever the battle was fierce, and the bombardment preparation camp embankment position was basically 75 mm mountain artillery, if it was really heavy artillery and cannon, Zhang Wei and the fortifications they urgently built would be difficult to bear, after this battle, Zhang Wei should pay more attention to the devil's heavy artillery, and he would have this family background, and the heavy artillery could reimburse half of his subordinates by firing more than a dozen cannons.

"The guns you use to bomb the little devils should all be large-caliber guns of more than 100 mm, probably Type 92 and ** type, one is 105 mm, the other is 150 mm, and I also suffered from that shell when I was in Nanjing." Zhang Wei combined his knowledge before he crossed over, and estimated that the Japanese army on the opposite side was very likely to be these two kinds of artillery, and it was not excluded that there were old-fashioned 150 howitzers, 92 and ** cannons, which were used by the Japanese when they fought Shanghai and Nanjing, and the Purple Mountain position guarded by Zhang Wei when teaching the corps was also bombed.

The general field fortifications of the squadron, as long as they are built normally and carefully repaired, the Japanese army's 75-caliber mountain artillery, such as the 41-type mountain artillery, the 94-type mountain artillery, the 38-type and the 38-modified field artillery, the shells fired by the general civil fortifications can be effectively carried when they are hit, and the scattered shrapnel can also block a lot.

Rotten fortifications are a different matter.

As for such large-caliber cannons, normal civil fortifications were hit, and most of them would collapse

"The commanders of your previous troops were all men, and those brothers were also good, but it's a pity that your firepower is too poor, and there are also problems with the attack arrangement of the troops. Zhang Wei said.

Li Changgui nodded: "It's worth it in the hands of little Japan, and when it comes to fighting, the least valuable thing is human life." ”

Zhang Wei and Li Changgui chatted for a long time, and the harvest was not small.

The matter of artillery, he heard Li Changgui mention it before the war, but he didn't pay much attention to it, after listening to him, Zhang Wei must pay attention to it.

No matter how you fight, you must let the troops make good use of the conditions at hand and try their best to build the best fortifications.
