In the position just captured, the soldiers were cleaning up the corpses in the trenches, Zhang Wei dragged his body full of blood to the side of the second battalion commander of the 23rd regiment, the second battalion commander saw Zhang Wei like this, and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Wei for breaking through the position first, and Zhang Wei was also happy to admit it.

"Where, politely, they are all soldiers, and they still care about this, if you and I are alive after the battle, don't forget to invite me to a drink."

"Definitely, definitely." The second battalion commander said with a smile, no matter what, the position was fought by the two of them, and he must be indispensable when he showed his merits after the war.

Zhang Wei looked at the opposite position, there was no movement, but the problem was that he couldn't see what the Japanese army was doing, out of habit, he thought that solid defense was the top priority, after all, two trenches had been knocked down one after another, and his own people also needed to rest.

"Sir, let's hurry up and set up defenses, don't wait for some moths, we will die a lot, and there will be someone in the back." The second battalion commander nodded and said: "I have already given the order, now we have to empty the trenches, there are a lot of people who died fighting bayonets just now, the herald has gone to the rear, let the heavy machine guns come up first, and the reinforcements in the regiment will follow immediately." ”

Hearing what the commander of the second battalion said, Zhang Wei's heart was half relieved, and soon, the heavy machine gun company of the second battalion came up, and the signal corps who came back also brought news that the third battalion and the first battalion were in the regiment's departure position, and reinforcements would come up at any time.

The officers and men of the independent company were considered to have cleared the trenches and booty, but the second battalion had a lot of effort, they had a lot of deaths, and it was the main position, so it was very chaotic, and it took half of the busy work for half to clear out. Zhang Wei's independent company had already entered the Japanese trenches and used Japanese sandbags and wood to reversely deploy defenses.

"Company commander, what is this heavy machine gun to do?" Qiu Wei pointed to the 92-style that had been blown off half of the tripod and said, it was the 92 heavy machine gun that had just been killed by the 92 rifle gun, one of the tripods was blown off, and only two were left to support it, and the bullet protection plates in the ammunition box were scattered all over the ground, and there was blood on it, this machine gun was really not good, Zhang Wei had seen it before, but it was when it was in Suzhou Creek, and the defense line of the teaching corps was opened a gap, and rushed over in a rubber boat, and the platoon on the beachhead did not hold it and was defeated.

Or the second battalion where he was joined the counterattack, desperately killed the more than 100 devils, and handed over the 92-type gun, Zhang Wei fiddled with the 92 heavy machine gun at that time, it was really not good, it was far worse than the second or fourth of the people.

But at the moment, solid defense is the first priority, not necessarily when, the devil has to fight back.

"Give it to me, pick up the bullets on the ground." Zhang Wei was in the same position of the machine gun and set it up again, and the soldiers of the two search squads consciously assumed the position of deputy shooters.

Holding the figure-eight trigger, Zhang Wei pulled the handle, and the inside was shiny, the Japanese army's maintenance of weapons was very good, but the national army was not good, and many troops could not even wipe their guns, and it was inevitable to explode the chamber and jam the bullet.

The deputy shooter loaded a row of bullet protection plates, the bullet went into the chamber, Zhang Wei grabbed the trigger, and there was a shouting behind him, and when he looked back, it turned out that the heavy machine gun company of the second battalion came up, with four heavy machine guns (because of battle damage), the position of the second battalion had not been cleared, and the heavy machine gun squad was slightly crowded and lined up, and the machine guns were laid in a relatively tidy area.

After the heavy machine gun company came over, the soldiers of the second battalion quickly did what they should do, and they were ready to defend or rest on the spot after finishing their work, and they were still clearing their positions when they were not done. This side was busy, and the troops in the first line of Japanese positions and the 23rd Regiment preparation positions behind had already climbed out of the trenches to support Zhang Wei and their positions.

The reinforcements came over a battalion, because the position in front has been conquered, so the entire battalion, including the heavy machine gun company, all began to move forward, the speed of movement is not fast, the front position is already in their own hands, more than 300 people stirred up smoke and dust and human voices make the soldiers on the front position look back, that is the reinforcement of them, it is a good thing, some people's faces have bloomed, the more people the more sense of security.

The sound of "Huohuo" suddenly came from the sky, some soldiers looked around curiously, Zhang Wei began to be equally curious, and when he realized it, it was too late, or rather, there was no time to react, this was the sound of the shell landing when it was fired at a high elevation angle.

Boom - more than a dozen shells were blown up between the first and second lines, the reinforced infantry battalion was bombed, more than thirty casualties were killed on the spot, and the Japanese carried out artillery bombardment between the two lines of defense!

This tactic is common, and in engagement, surprise attacks and suppression of fire are carried out on the enemy's forward positions and advancing areas.

"The Japanese are coming, this is going to beat us! The platoons are in position, pay attention to the anti-artillery. Zhang Wei grabbed the trigger of the heavy machine gun and stared at the front of the battle, and the soldiers of the second battalion next to him put down their work, and simply turned the corpse into a cover and defended on the spot.

Sure enough, the Japanese launched a counterattack, and there was no artillery preparation for it, and the Japanese artillery shells were only allowed to hit the second-line positions and the departure area, and the fire cover for the main position to be attacked was simply canceled, and it was all relied on infantry assault.

"Ah" A burst of shouts came, and the Japanese troops of the two squadrons rushed towards the position, and some of the soldiers of the second battalion opened fire directly, and Zhang Wei's independent company had good shooting discipline, and they would never shoot if they didn't see people's faces clearly.

The assault speed of the Japanese infantry was quite fast, and in a blink of an eye it rushed to a distance of 200 meters, and some veterans on the position clenched their guns and were preparing to fight the grenadier group and machine gun group, but there was no textbook offensive grenade and machine gun cover in the past, and all the Japanese troops rushed over with rifles, and the Japanese went crazy!

At a distance of more than 100 meters, the second battalion couldn't hold back and took the lead in firing, four heavy machine guns and machine guns and rifles in the hands of the infantry, forming a scattered network of firepower, and the Japanese soldiers were killed more than 20 people, but they did not stop their advance, and they continued to attack without dying.

"Hit!" In a word, the Japanese soldiers in front of Zhang Wei also reached the shooting distance, he first pulled the trigger of the 92 heavy machine gun, and the "cluck" heavy machine gun made a slow popping sound, and the bullet entered the Japanese army, and four or five Japanese soldiers were shot down by this machine gun that originally belonged to them.

The soldiers of the independent company all opened fire, and the rifles and machine guns were fired closely, causing more casualties to the Japanese than the second battalion. Zhang Wei finished shooting a bullet board, he didn't want to fight anymore, and this machine gun was too bulky, he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if he was accidentally named by the devil, it would be worth the loss.

"Let's go, stop guarding the machine guns." Zhang Wei left the heavy machine gun with two sub-shooters, but unfortunately, a Japanese bullet still killed one of the sub-shooters, the bullet penetrated his steel helmet, and the body fell on the ammunition box next to the heavy machine gun, and no one could save him.

Zhang Wei returned to the center of the unit and chose to shoot in the position next to the search squad, for this kind of defensive battle, the officers and soldiers of the independent company can calmly fight back, there are a few platoon commanders staring at it, Zhang Wei only needs to control the general situation, more benefits, and even directly shoot the Japanese army as a combat soldier.

The light machine guns and grenadiers of the independent company, combined with rifles and organized fire, formed a net of fire 100 meters in front of the position, and although the Japanese troops ignored all the charges, they were still killed and wounded by a dense and organized rain of bullets.

On the position of the second battalion, the chaotic platoon guns and machine gun fire failed to completely block the Japanese army, and the Japanese army rushed into the position of the second battalion with the explosion of a Type 91 grenade after paying the price of more than 20 people......
