Chapter 55: The Fierce Battle in Yishui (5) (Ask for Collections, Recommendations, Monthly Passes!) Ask for support! )
In the early morning of May 10, 1938, the position of the 3rd Battalion of the 16th Regiment was still eating early, but today there was no meat, only multigrain cakes and water, and the soldiers squatted in the trenches, waiting for the sky to brighten......
The light of the morning sun slowly dispelled the darkness, and as the light began to shine on the earth, the soldiers of the third battalion entered the anti-artillery shelter under the drive of the officers, and the sun slowly emerged from the clouds, sprinkling sunlight, and on the battlefield shrouded in gunsmoke, this ray of sunlight showed a strange blood red, as if to indicate something.......
"Chirp ......" The heavy artillery of the Japanese army began to roar, accompanied by the bombardment of mountain artillery and field artillery, trying to destroy the defensive fortifications of the 16th Regiment and the soldiers' will to fight......
"Boom" shells fell on the positions of the XVI Regiment, and the stirred up dirt was sprinkled on the observation posts in the individual bunkers......
The piercing whistle sounded, and the soldiers in the anti-artillery shelter climbed out of the anti-artillery hole one after another and ran towards their battle positions......
On the trench, He Jianye held a telescope and looked at the approaching devil infantry,
"That's not right! How can you directly get on the brigade-scale charge? Isn't the devil going to make a tentative attack? Fuck, how can there still be tanks? ”
"I see, this little devil was a tentative attack all day yesterday! I said, how can the casualties be so small? Haven't even attacked the position! Hehe, knowing that I don't have artillery and heavy machine guns, I got directly into the tank today, trying to cover the infantry charge and take my position! Labor and management will give you a big meal! He Jianye muttered to himself,
"Wang Qiang, order the heavy machine guns on the left and right flanks to shoot directly at the devil's infantry after the mortar fires, leave the tanks alone, go and get them ready."
"Zeng Da, call Huang Wujun over!" He Jianye issued orders continuously,
"Commander, it's finally my turn! Yesterday my artillery didn't hit a single shot! Don't you make me greedy! Huang Wujun ran over and crawled next to He Jianye and complained,
"Huang Wujun, look at it. The Japanese army on the opposite side has 8 tanks, you have 6 battle defense guns, ask your battle defense artillery team to aim and shoot for me, and you must kill at least 6 tanks in two rounds of attack, understand? He Jianye said,
"Commander, just look at it! I'll kill you in two rounds. What about mortars? Do you want to fire mortars? Huang Wujun asked,
"The mortars opened fire at the same time as the anti-aircraft guns fired, directly blowing up the devil infantry following behind the tank. You have to estimate the distance, I will put the devil tank into a distance of 150 meters, and at a distance of 150 meters, your anti-aircraft guns and mortars will have to give me a lot of damage in a few rounds! Hurry up and get ready! The devil is only 500 meters away from us. He Jianye said quickly,
"Yes, Captain." Huang Wujun ran away,
Under the cover of smoke bombs, 8 Japanese Type 95 ultralight tanks led the infantry forward to attack. The so-called tank of the Japanese, the hull and turret are riveted and welded structures of steel armor, mainly riveted structures, with armor thickness of 6~12 mm, and the armor of the main parts is 12 mm thick, which can only prevent the attack of small arms. The main armament is a Type 94 37 mm tank gun, and the auxiliary armament is two Czech-made Type 97 7.7 mm heavy machine guns, which can fire automatically in bursts, and the crew needs to shoot against the shoulder, and there are 20 machine gun rounds in the magazine, carrying 3,000 rounds, which are positioned as "supporting infantry operations" in the Japanese army. In front of the Chinese army, which had almost no armored forces and anti-tank weapons, such tanks were rampant on the battlefield, and the accompanying infantry of the Japanese army only had to guard against the approach of the Chinese army's death squads with cluster grenades.
8 cars'; Ninety-Five'; The light tanks lined up in a horizontal formation, stopped at 400 meters, fired with the tank's 37mm tank guns, destroyed the suspected points of fire, and then continued with the infantry. Under the shelling of tanks and artillery, the brothers of the 16th Regiment squatted in the trenches, not daring to raise their heads......
"Commander, go down! I'll just take a look. Wang Qiang, the commander of the third battalion, persuaded on the side,
"Don't talk nonsense, go and command your infantry. As soon as the mortar fired, the organizational vitality suppressed the little devil for me! Prepare the death squads, the Japanese tanks are close to 50 meters, we have to fight with people. He Jianye said without raising his head,
"Yes, Captain." Wang Qiang led the order to squat,
"Battle defense artillery, hurry up the, the devil's tank is coming up, enter the trench firing position, and there is a battle defense gun every 200 meters; Mortars, enter the second-line trenches, aim 150 to 200 meters in front of the first-line position, and wait for the battle defense artillery to fire 3 rounds of rapid color...... Hurry the. Huang Wujun roared behind the trenches...... Finally took the opportunity to fire artillery at will, Huang Wujun was nervous, since the Battle of Songhu, Huang Wujun has been training, and there is no chance to cooperate with the infantry to attack, so Huang Wujun is aggrieved;
In the heavy machine-gun positions on both flanks of the position, the soldiers of the heavy machine-gun group were slowly tearing open the cover above the heavy machine guns and removing the cover to cover the shooting......
"Platoon commander, it's 300 meters, should we prepare to fight!" A young warrior asked nervously,
"What's the hurry, the artillery didn't fire, we can't hit first. Get me ready for the elastic chain, don't strain it when it matters! The veteran platoon commander was personally controlling the heavy machine gun, and easily instructed the ammunition man and the sub-shooter next to him, while the original heavy machine gunner was driven to the side to help sort out the bullet chain......
"Platoon commander, you bully people, are you grabbing a shooting position like this? Let the battalion commander know, I will definitely train you......" The heavy machine gunner muttered beside him,
"Hehe, Ergou, isn't this my brother who hasn't enjoyed it for a long time? Rifles don't make it a pleasure to fight! Let my brother give you back a bullet chain, okay? Don't tell the battalion commander! In order to have a good time, the platoon commander could only laugh and whisper to the heavy machine gunner,
"That's good! Just a bullet chain, not allowed to deceive people; I haven't enjoyed it in a long time. Ergou said with a serious face,
"Definitely, just a snap chain. When does my brother stop talking? The platoon commander assured,
.......
In the position of the third battalion, He Jianye watched the devil's tank enter 150 meters and shouted,
"Artilleryman, fire!" The infantry in front of the anti-aircraft guns instantly ran to the side, giving way to the sight of the shot......
"Fire," Huang Wujun roared,
"Knock, knock, knock......" Six concealed anti-aircraft guns opened fire on the target they had already aimed......
"Boom" The Japanese tankers looked at the flying shells with frightened eyes, there was no reaction time, there was no reaction distance, and 4 of the 8 tanks were hit in an instant, and an explosion occurred......
"Fuck, what did you two do? Why did the shells fly away from the side? Let you fight tanks, not infantry; Hurry up and continue to reload labor and management! There is one more chance to shoot, and we must withdraw the anti-artillery holes! Huang Wujun roared,
The loader continues to load the armor-piercing shells, and the shooter is nervously aiming at the devil tank that reverses backwards......
The six anti-aircraft guns of "Knock, Knock, Knock" were blown into a pile of scrap metal due to the close proximity of the remaining four tanks, except for one tank that escaped by reversing frantically......
"Mortars, 3 rounds of rapid fire! Ready, put! "At the same time as the anti-aircraft artillery fired, the mortars aimed at the infantry behind the tanks in the second-line positions......
"Knock, knock, knock" The infantry behind the tank could not find cover at all, and were massively killed and wounded by mortar shrapnel scattered around......
The heavy machine guns on both flanks of the "knock knock, knock/knock knock knock......" position opened fire, and the fire range was open, and the heavy machine guns on the left and right flanks formed a crossfire to strike at the unobstructed devil infantry,
"The three battalions, fire with all their might, the riflemen accurately hit the grenadiers of the Japanese army, and the light machine guns strafe the infantry......" Wang Qiang ordered,
