Chapter 406: The Second Squadron Firing in Advance (Page 1/1)

The Japanese artillery bombardment lasted more than 10 minutes, firing more than 3 bases, nearly 70 shells, and the ambush site of the teaching brigade that was bombed intensively was bombed in a mess.

The weeds and vegetation that had been used for shading were all razed to the ground.

As soon as the artillery bombardment ended, the Japanese infantry under the command of Takeda Masayuki began to advance, and Takeda's most urgent thing now was to break through the current defense line and reinforce Kunlun Pass, so he gathered the main force of the infantry of the whole brigade to attack.

The Japanese infantry spread out in accordance with the standard attack formation, advanced, constantly increased the pace, and rushed to the front of the teaching brigade, and the battle between the two sides was not around the battle for the Nanbin Highway, but a comprehensive field attack and defense centered on the road.

Takeda Masayuki's No. 1 Brigade pinned its hopes on quickly defeating the Teaching Brigade, and the Teaching Brigade wanted to stop them, although the battlefield was near the highway, the battle was actually a solid field offensive and defensive.

The attacking Japanese army had a total of two infantry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron, with a total number of nearly 400 people, and of course Takeda would not be stupid to rush people up, these attack troops were also divided into a line and a reserve, in fact, the Japanese troops rushing to the front line were the majority of two infantry squadrons, more than 200 people, plus half of the reinforced heavy machine gun squadron, 50 or 60 people, a total of 2780 troops.

……

In the vast and dilapidated fields on both sides of the road, Takeda Masayuki bent down and moved quickly with the soldiers around him, more than 200 meters on the attack straggler line, everyone was very far away, Takeda Masayuki divided the team into two, the attacking front-line troops were responsible for the attack mission, and the rest of the reserve team was led by him and followed up behind the attacking troops.

Direct fire was needed in the attack, and the 92nd Infantry Artillery, which had been tried and tested in previous battles, naturally followed up.

The original ambush position of the teaching brigade also came into Takeda's eyes with the gradual advance of the troops, and the shelling effect looked good, but Takeda did not see a large number of corpses and scattered equipment, which means that the shelling did not cause much substantial damage to the Chinese army at all.

At the same time, the fortifications laid by the teaching brigade outside the village gradually became clear. "Adjust the target of the attack, the main target is to attack the enemy's fortified villages and positions on both flanks.

"There are no enemy troops, and the places that have been blown up by artillery shells have no use value, and Takeda will not let the troops waste their firepower there, but give an adjustment order in time.

Beside him, the signal corps of the brigade with a 38 rifle on his back quickly ran out, ready to pass Takeda's order to the squadron leader of the front-line attack force.

Takeda's timely adjustment allowed the attacking Japanese troops to shift the edge of the attack to the preset position that the teaching brigade was currently holding.

"Captain, the Japanese army is coming!" The soldiers sent by Qiu Wei kept rushing into the command post in the village to report the situation to Zhang Wei.

In fact, there is no need to report, Zhang Wei has already seen the approaching Japanese infantry through the observation port, the Japanese army finally launched an attack, in terms of numbers, there is still a lot, at least the main force of a brigade, Zhang Wei estimated that these Japanese troops suffered a big loss, plus they were eager to reinforce Kunlun Pass, so they launched such a large-scale attack, a brigade, that can confront an infantry division of the national army.

Zhang Wei calmed down, and the power to fire was in the hands of the squadron leaders.

The fortifications are all dug in advance, and the firing boundaries of all kinds of firearms have been marked, and everything is ready, it depends on whether your subordinates can withstand it!

Retracting the telescope that was looking at the front of the observation port, Zhang Wei turned his head to the right side of the road, across the road, where Mu Chao's second squadron was defending, and he was a little worried about the defense there.

Teaching the current defensive posture of the brigade, the village on the left side of the road and the preset position outside are the first squadron, the troops directly under the brigade and the third squadron are stationed, and the second squadron is on the right side of the road.

The Japanese did not know this, they only knew that in the process of ambush, their first-line attack forces on the left and right sides of the road were usually distributed in an even manner, that is, Mu Chao's second squadron, which had fewer troops, would withstand the same density of attack forces as the left position.

The reason why Zhang Wei assigned Mu Chao's second squadron there before the war was also to take this problem into account, Mu Chao and his second squadron, the overall combat effectiveness and command experience, were stronger than Zheng Yiqun's third squadron, so he handed over the defensive position on the right to him.

The combat readiness of the position of the 2nd Squadron on the right was much faster than that of the position on the left.

"The devil is here, ready to fight!"

"Get up, don't fucking panic!" In the position of the second squadron, which Zhang Wei was worried about, the squad leader and the veterans howled in ugly voices, reminding the officers and soldiers in the position to prepare for battle, and the Japanese troops rushing forward could already be seen on the position of the second squadron, and the soldiers of the squadron came out of the concealment department one after another, leading their weapons into their respective battle positions.

After Mu Chao, the squadron leader of the second squadron, discovered the Japanese army, he quickly ordered the troops to enter the position, and the squad and platoon commanders under him were a little incomprehensible, because Mu Chao almost saw the Japanese army's skirmish line and immediately ordered to enter the position, according to the previous fighting style and teaching the training of the brigade.

"Pass the order, and each platoon will start shooting as soon as the Japanese army enters one hundred and fifty meters!" Mu Chao stared at the Japanese army in front of the position, he had his own considerations, Mu Chao thought that instead of sitting and waiting to be beaten passively, it was better to fire in advance in the case of inferior strength, not only in advance of the shooting distance, but also before the main force of the brigade on the left side of the road to fire in advance.

The defensive position of the second squadron was divided into two lines of defense, plus a shelter in the rear, the first line position and the second line position were equipped with infantry, the second line position was set up with a heavy machine gun position, and the three ZB37 heavy machine guns assigned by the heavy fire squadron were attached to the second line position.

Mu Chao's battle order was transmitted to the platoon leader of each second squadron through the signal corps, and then to the ears of every soldier.

"Class ready!" The first line of the 2nd Squadron, a section defended by an infantry squad, and the squad leader, who received the order to fire in advance, gave the soldiers an order to prepare to fire.

The squad leader's superior, the platoon commander of this platoon, held a red flag in the middle of the trench and gave orders to the squad leader, the platoon leader ordered the squad leader, and the squad leader ordered the soldiers.

The squad was dispersed and aimed at the Japanese troops in the trenches, the Czech light machine guns were mounted on the trenches, facing the Japanese troops, and the soldiers in charge of operating the grenades pointed their rifles diagonally to the sky, and the grenades were installed in the muzzles, and the squad was ready for battle.

"Hit!" The squad leader pulled the trigger of the rifle, and a 79 Zhongzheng rifle bullet drilled out of the chamber and flew towards the Japanese army in front of the battle......
