Thanks to Zhao Dingchang's reminder, the bunkers built of various machine gun fire points in wood, stone and other materials were not destroyed by 75mm caliber shells, and they stood down with difficulty in the battle......

"Kill, give!" Captain Yoshino, wielding his saber, rushed towards the Zhangshuwan defense line amid a whoos-wow howl from the two squadrons assembled at the starting position......

"Machine guns ready, all the living brethren go up to the trenches, ready to fire!" Zhao Dingchang is still trying his best to roar,

In Zhao Dingchang's telescope, the devils of the two squadrons opened the line, and each tactical squad was one meter apart and attacked the position of the 11th Reserve Division......

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Entering 300 meters, the devil's 38 rifle began to shoot sporadically, and several of the fighters whose bodies were slightly exposed to the trench were directly shot in the head by the devil's rifle......

"Fire!" Seeing that the devil entered 200 meters, Zhao Dingchang ordered,

"Da, ............da,

The Min-24 heavy machine guns and Czech light machine guns sounded with the sound of the brethren's reassuring firing, and the brethren in the trenches poked their heads out, aimed with their rifles, and fired at the Japanese infantry......

The powerful machine-gun fire that broke out on the position in an instant caused heavy losses to the two Japanese squadrons that broke through, and half of the squadron's devils fell in a pool of blood in a pool of defenselessness, and the squadron leader in charge of directing the attack brandished his saber and ordered the attacking Japanese troops to retreat.

"Alas! See for yourselves, the devil is still made of meat; There is also a hole in the bullet, don't panic, save the bullet, aim and hit! Jiang Dangyi, the deputy division commander, was encouraging the new soldiers.

"Your Excellency, the mountain artillery of the mountain artillery wing still has not destroyed the fortifications on the defensive positions of the Chinese army, do you request the supporting fire of the naval guns?" The captain of the first wing is asking Shigeichi Hada,

"Well, send a telegram and request naval artillery support to destroy the defenses of the positions of the opposing China Army!" Shigeichi Harata ordered,

"Telegram: The fleet is expected to provide fire support in 20 minutes, please provide accurate coordinates." The Signal Corps reported,

"Yo Si! The mountain artillery wing was ordered to provide the coordinates of the artillery bombardment, and the Yoshino brigade was ordered to carry out a wave attack after the artillery shelling of the naval ships, and the positions of the Shina Army must be captured by 10 a.m.! Shigeichi Harata ordered,

"Hay!" Several Japanese officers in front of Shigeichi Harata bent down together to receive the order.

At 8:50 a.m., the Japanese fleet roaming on Panyang Lake was very busy, since the landing of the Hata squadron, they not only had to cover the landing motorboats, but also cut off the reinforcement routes of the Chinese troops to support the beachhead with the fire of naval guns, and they were also busy unloading various equipment and infantry from the deck of the fleet to the landing motorboats......

"Order, the main guns of the fleet will be replaced with high-explosive shells, and the artillery bombardment of the defenders' positions in front of the Potian detachment will be carried out with full firepower, and the time will be ten minutes!" The orders of the commander of the fleet were perfectly executed, and according to the orders of the bridge, the main guns of the ships of the fleet began to rotate according to the coordinates......

"Boom!"

The devil's fleet began to use the main guns of the fleet on Panyang Lake to pour tons of shells into the positions of the defenders of Zhangshu Bay, and the machine gun bunkers that survived the bombardment of the 75mm mountain guns were not so lucky this time, and were blown up in the salvo of naval guns......

The positions of the 11th Reserve Division were washed by the torrent of steel, the trenches and various fortifications were destroyed in the explosion of artillery shells, and after ten minutes of earth-shaking and rocking bombardment, the Zhangshuwan position was razed to the ground amid the roar.

After the shelling, less than 1,500 people remained on the position, and nearly 1,000 people were killed in the shelling just now, and very few were wounded; as long as they were affected by the shells of the naval guns, few of the officers and men of the 11 th Division in the defensive position were spared......

After the bombardment by the naval artillery, the mountain artillery of the Taiwan Mountain Artillery Wing began to shell, and the officers and men who were frightened by the Japanese artillery bombardment were already numb, and the destroyed fortifications could not protect these surviving soldiers at all......

The sound of artillery finally stopped, and the Yoshino Brigade assembled according to the squadron and began to attack in waves, and after the first squadron entered the attack position of the reserve 11th Division's defense line and began to attack, the second squadron began to set off, followed by the third squadron, and the fourth squadron......

The Japanese attacks were incessant, and they attacked the positions of the reserve 11th Division......

"Everybody fire!" Zhao Dingchang wiped his blood-covered face and yelled,

The heavy machine guns had been blown to pieces in the naval artillery attack just now, and the two remaining Czechs were the only remaining points of fire on the line......

"Da Da Da" "Bang, Bang, Bang ......"

The fire of two Czech light machine guns and rifles could not stop the Japanese attack at all, and seeing that the Japanese army was about to enter the attack distance of the grenade, Zhao Dingchang was anxious and shouted,

"Grenades ready, start loading bayonets!"

"Throw a grenade!" Zhao Dingchang shouted,

"Boom, boom, boom"

Just about 50 meters into the defensive line, the defenders' large number of grenades caused great problems for the attacking squadron, but soon the second squadron arrived and charged forward amid the whoa-wah-wah......

"Follow me!" Deputy division commander Jiang Dangyi shouted with a big knife in his hand,

"Kill!" The remnants of the defenders held rifles and engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese devils who rushed to the position, and with the continuous influx of Japanese fresh troops, the defenders who had just taken advantage of the situation were gradually retreating, and they were about to be occupied by the Japanese devils......

"Brothers, follow me! Kill! At this time, the officers and men of the 15th Division finally arrived at the position, and many brothers of the Nationalist Army began to occupy favorable terrain and heavy machine guns to block and shoot at the Japanese follow-up attacking troops......

With the reinforcement of a regiment of the 15th Division, the Zhangshuwan position was finally held, Zhao Dingchang looked at the remaining officers and soldiers, there were less than 500 people, and the broken position was full of dead national army brothers, and stumps and broken arms were all over every corner of the position......

"Send a report to the military department! The Reserve 11th Division was no longer able to continue to defend the Zhangshuwan position, and was ready to retreat to the last line of defense, Tading Mountain, for defense! Zhao Dingchang's voice was full of helplessness and sadness......

The time had come to 12 noon on July 23, the Japanese troops who had fled back in disarray were making up for it, the Hatian detachment, which had been attacking for 12 hours, was distributing field rations, and the Japanese troops were leisurely eating lunch boxes on the starting position, preparing meals before attacking......

In the Zhangshuwan position, the remaining officers and soldiers were collecting the remains of the brothers who had died in battle with the help of the reinforcements of the 15th Division and burying them simply, the logistics were distributing the only remaining miscellaneous grain cakes to replenish the surviving officers and men, and the reinforcements were distributing bullets and grenades to the officers and men of the 11th Division, at least to ensure that the guns in the hands of the brothers did not burn the sticks.
