Chapter 100: The Great Counteroffensive (2)

The position that Zhang Wei and they had just captured was the first line of defense of the Japanese army, and after the corpses were counted, there were about 100 corpses, many of whom died in Zhang Wei's shelling.

More than 100 people, that is, the defensive strength of a squadron, that is to say, the next line of defense is the real main line of defense, and according to the Japanese artillery bombardment of the pursuers just now, the 75 mm mountain artillery and the 92 infantry gun are used, and those who can have two weapons at the same time are at least units at the wing level.

On the other side, it is the defense line of a Japanese brigade, and more to say, in the whole area, there is a wing of the Japanese army, Zhang Wei guessed correctly, and they were engaged in the 21st Wing of Katano Dingmi, they were attacked by the 52nd Army and the 4th Division of the 85th Army at the same time, Zhang Wei When they broke through the position, the friendly 52nd Army also suffered heavy losses to the Japanese army, and the 21st Wing lost more than two squadrons of troops and positions at the same time, and the Japanese troops who ran back added up to less than 50 people.

"Hurry up, push out the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and collect ammunition with grenadiers." Zhang Wei reminded his soldiers to clear their positions and prepare for the next attack, the soldiers of the 23rd Regiment were also in full swing, and the major of the 23rd Regiment came over, it seemed that he was the officer who led the attack just now, and it was estimated that he was the battalion commander.

The major walked over with a smile: "Thank you, Company Commander Zhang, if it weren't for your cannon, maybe how many more people would have died." ”

"It's okay, we're all allies, should we help each other?" The major smiled, and then said to Zhang Wei with some embarrassment: "Then ...... attack next time."

Zhang Wei knew what he meant.

"Don't worry, our company will definitely help the friendly army, and we will participate in the attack in a while, but ah, I estimate that the Japanese army on the opposite side is a brigade, and the artillery that hit your regiment's pursuers just now is 75 mountain artillery, maybe it is a wing against this national army, and it will be a little bit of a fight later."

"Then I'll have to ask my brother's artillery." The officer major said embarrassedly, Zhang Wei patted him, and said that there was no problem, but this infantry charge, and he had to take care of it, and he couldn't afford to waste more than 100 people.

"When we charge, we also have to ask the commander to take care of the brothers in the company." "Well said, well said!" After the major left, Zhang Wei jumped into the trenches of the Japanese army, the trenches of this devil were dug well, much better than those of the national army.

Several platoon commanders and soldiers sat in the trenches that had just been cleared to rest. Qiu Wei walked over, carrying a saber in his hand.

"Company commander, I found a lot of grenades, there were four or five grenadiers, I left them all, I didn't take machine guns and rifles.

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "We can't use those things, and we can't rob them with friendly troops, where did this knife come from?" ”

"It was found on a devil Cao Chang, and the color seems to be average." Qiu Wei took out the saber, looking at the handle and blade, it was definitely a battle-hardened knife, but it was the Chinese soldiers and civilians who were killed.

"Give the search team, where do they have two knives, let them keep them."

After Qiu Wei left, Zhang Wei walked around the army, Xu Yi and Hao Zhong He Kun got together, saw Zhang Wei coming, and immediately walked to Zhang Wei's side.

Zhang Wei was very happy to see them, and it seemed that it was good to win the battle.

Zhang Wei asked, "How about the casualties of the troops?" ”

"There were more than a dozen dead and wounded, most of them minor." Xu Yi said.

"Well, it's good, get ready, the attack continues, next time it's not that simple." "Don't worry, company commander."

Xu Yi said with the soldiers around him. Zhang Wei turned his gaze to the Japanese position on the opposite side, on the way to attack, there were more than 20 corpses of the pursuing soldiers of the national army, mixed with some dead Japanese corpses, Zeiss telescope is really easy to use, can see the general position of the Japanese position and a few skirmishers, and seems to be able to see heavy machine gun positions and reserve fortifications.

"It's hard to fight!" "Hurry up, carry it in!" There was a commotion behind him, and when he looked back, Dong Erli was carrying the mortar squad to the trenches, and they chose a good position to put their feet on, the original light machine gun position of the Japanese army, and the trenches and sandbags dug up greatly provided convenience.

With the help of the infantry, the infantry gun was transferred to the trenches, and after a while, it was again used. Dong Erli ran over panting and asked Zhang Wei where the infantry gun was placed. Zhang Wei looked at it, and there was nothing good about it.

"You dig on the opposite side of this light machine gun position, and you probably have to push the artillery when you attack later."

"Good!" The soldiers successively used various sandbags and logs left by the Japanese army to consolidate the fortifications, and the fortification work was basically completed, and everyone lay in the trenches, waiting for orders from above. Between the two armies, there was no fighting, and the two sides faced each other in their respective positions. And the commander of the 21st Wing of the Japanese Army, Katano Dingjian, was very anxious at this time, today he was almost attacked by a corps, and the squadrons and stragglers outside were all wiped out, and then attacked, he could only rely on the main position, that is, the three brigades and directly subordinate units of the main force of the wing, plus the technical weapons strengthened by the detachment.

Behind Katano's main position, there was their artillery position, and the Japanese set up an artillery position next to the hill, and the choice of position was not good, because they felt that the Chinese army was not worthy of them, so the 75 mountain guns belonging to the four wings and the 4 75mm field guns of the 38 type reinforced by the fifth artillery wing.

The artillerymen counted the precious shells, and the fierce fighting for several days had reduced the number of ammunition to an extreme, and the situation was even worse due to the fact that the two sides were staggered and did not allow airdrops. In the bombardment just now, more than a dozen shells were fired, and now, on average, there are about less than 30 shells per gun.

The Japanese artillery commanders were worried, even though they were in much better condition than the infantry. Along with the password, the Japanese guard gun, that is, the school gun, was loaded with one shell, and the rest of the artillery was on standby.

On the other side, their peers, the Chinese artillery is also quietly preparing, the Tang Corps has just strengthened an artillery regiment, the seventh artillery regiment has been included in the sequence of the Tang Corps, and a battalion of artillery has been arranged to the front line of Liu Zhuang, they use the same Type 38 field artillery, Zhang Wei After their first round of attacks, these eight artillery pieces (12 guns according to the establishment of a battalion, lack of equipment) were slightly hectic to arrange their positions, ready to do fire cover.

Zhang Wei felt the atmosphere of imminent battle inside and outside the position, and the morale of the soldiers was high, but everything had a head, and after the height, there was fear and uncertainty about the future war.

Zhang Wei was half-squatting on the ground, Qiu Wei was wiping his gun on the side, Xu Yi, he had just won the battle, and he was on the rise, checking and wandering back and forth in the position. Zhang Wei is also happy to see this kind of active preparation.

Looking at the rear of the position, one after another, the 23rd Regiment began to increase its strength, and the troops all began to press up, and in the position was the entire second battalion (the machine gun company was not there), and now on top was the heavy machine gun company of the second battalion and a company of the third battalion, the second battalion was still the main force of the attack, and the ninth company of the third battalion was used as a reserve and to control the forward position.

"Ready, pick up the guys." Zhang Wei glanced ahead, and the gun in his hand tightened.
