Chapter 154: Battle for King Luo Station (2)
Seeing that people had combat missions, Zhang Wei naturally didn't bother anymore, and quickly returned to the preparation battalion, maybe his troops still have tasks, the tank battalion and the preparation battalion are very close, under the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the preparation battalion, five smaller Italian CV35 took the lead in hot car starting, and slowly drove forward, and the heavier T
The five chariots drove slowly in the direction of Luowang Station, Zhang Wei and the soldiers of the preparatory battalion did not say a word, but prayed in their hearts for these charioteers who were the first to attack, hoping that these steel chariots could defeat the Japanese troops in front.
In the forward position of the 155th Division, the soldiers of the Guangdong Army hid in the trenches and concealment departments dug in advance, waiting for the order to attack, and the soldiers in the team who had war experience were chattering endlessly to teach the "experience" to the students around them, the 155th Division did not participate in the battles of Songhu and Nanjing, and had been training in Chao'an, Guangdong, because they did not participate in the war, compared with the 156th Division, the brother troops, the soft power was a little worse, and they did not know much about the combat experience and tactics of the Japanese army.
Tan Shenglin, commander of the 463rd Brigade of the 155th Division, who was located in the command post, put down the binoculars in his hand and asked the staff officers beside him: "Has the equipped combat vehicle arrived?" How many? ”
"Sir, five chariots have arrived, and they still need to be overhauled, and the charioteers have to ask about the specific situation and maps, but they are not completely in place."
Tan Shenglin, like the vast majority of squadron commanders, has never used and is not familiar with these Iron King Ba, and he is also not familiar with the tactics and tactics of the Japanese army.
"Tell the army artillery and the troops in front of you to start attacking!"
"Yes," the staff officer replied, and then informed the attacking troops at the front and the artillery battalion of the 64th Army in the rear by telephone.
The troops in front did not move, the mountain artillery of the army artillery battalion fired first, according to which the 75 mm Schneider guns of the three-kilometer Guangdong army bombarded the area of Luowang Station fiercely, and the shells flew out, and soon they fell to the ground and exploded, probably due to the long distance, there were problems with observation, many shells did not directly hit Luowang Station, and more bombed the Japanese positions on the periphery, and the damage to the core of the station was not great.
The soldiers hid in the trenches and applauded when they saw that the open ground ahead was covered with the smoke and dust of shells.
As the smoke of gunpowder cleared and the time came for the infantry to charge, the grassroots officers of the 155th Division suddenly jumped out of the trench and threw the shell guns in their hands.
"Brothers, go up!" The earth-shattering shouts of killing rose instantly, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the 155th Division rushed out of the trenches, and stormed the Luowang station, the starting position was about a thousand meters away from the Japanese army, and the vast majority of this distance, the Japanese army would not fire, and the soldiers rushed very quickly, and soon rushed to a distance of 300 meters, and the distance was still getting closer a little bit.
Finally, within a distance of less than 200 meters, the Japanese rifles took the lead in starting to shoot in a row, and the guns of the 38 big cover covered the waves one after another, followed by the fallen soldiers of the 155th Division, but this did not shake the courage of the officers and men to kill the enemy, and the rest of the officers and soldiers still attacked in a relatively dense formation.
The Chinese soldiers opened fire with their weapons during the march, trying to kill and wound some Japanese soldiers, and then attacked more than 50 meters. The light machine guns of the Japanese front-line positions began to spit tongues of fire, and bullets and grenades reaped the lives of the charging Chinese officers and soldiers, and the soldiers began to fall in large numbers.
The crossfire composed of shrapnel and bullets caused heavy casualties to the soldiers of the 155th Division, and the pace of the attack began to stagnate.
The fighting between the two sides developed into mutual fire, with the soldiers of the 155th Division firing at the Japanese in front with light machine guns and rifles, and there were casualties on both sides, and because the Japanese fired more accurately, with the help of grenadiers and heavy machine guns, there was no doubt that the Chinese soldiers suffered more casualties.
The lieutenant ** officer led by the first lieutenant threw a grenade at the risk of death, and the Chinese soldiers around him followed suit and threw grenades desperately, and the smoke and smoke caused by the explosion of the grenades briefly affected the shooting of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army knew the intentions of the squadron, and the heavy machine guns in the second-line positions began to fire frantically to support the first-line positions, and it was obvious that they caused huge casualties to the heroic Chinese soldiers. The battle returned to the state it had just been, and the Chinese soldiers were firing at the Japanese army at a very close distance from the first line of Japanese trenches, and at this time, it was difficult to even get up.
Time passed little by little, the situation became more and more unfavorable to the attack, and now the Japanese army was fighting, only more than half of the troops were left, and the Japanese army's heavy machine guns and grenadiers were fired one after another, causing casualties to the world, and the accuracy of the shooting at close range was also improved, and the frequency of soldiers falling in the Japanese trenches was also increasing.
The attacking Chinese soldiers had never fought the Japanese army, but they did not expect it to be this way of fighting, and in previous wars, they had hardly encountered such strong firepower and similar fighting methods.
The soldiers obviously can't support it, the two armies are more than 30 meters apart, and if they continue to rub like this, they will suffer **, and they will be consumed to death sooner or later.
A platoon commander of the 155th Division, who took the lead, put down the gun in his hand and shouted to the soldiers behind: "Hurry up, who the hell will go up to Lao Tzu and blow them up?" Don't be afraid, the front and back feet will die together. ”
"I'll go! Get me some grenades. One of the sergeants threw away the rifle in his hand, ripped off the grenade bag on his body, and only one of the four grenades was left, tying up the grenades given by his comrades around him. The surrounding soldiers understood and began to fire frantically, and the light machine guns were fiercely slammed, and some soldiers threw grenades first, using the smoke as cover.
"Holy shit, I'm fighting with you!" At the same time as the grenade exploded, the sergeant grabbed the bundled grenade bag, rushed out, ran dozens of meters, and rushed into the first line of Japanese trenches, followed by a violent explosion.
"Brothers, go up!" 、
After the explosion, the ** soldiers who were crawling on the ground stepped forward and rushed under the cover of the explosion, and the ** soldiers at the front successfully rushed into the first line of Japanese trenches and started a white-knuckle battle, and the follow-up and rear soldiers ushered in a greater explosion in the rush, and the Japanese army was located near the station and the nine infantry guns opened fire to stop the soldiers who cut off the first line ** after the charge. Various rifle-machine guns from the second-line positions also fired at the same time.
Violent explosions and gunfire gradually obscured the figure of the charging Chinese soldiers......... r
