Chapter 220: Jinguan Bridge (11)
Ichikawa Yozo, who had just passed around the corner, was dumbfounded as his chariot exploded in front of the position in Jinqiao Village;
"Yaga!"
"Order the 1st Brigade to assault as a whole, with a small squad of tank troops to support, not allowed to enter the battlefield for 300 meters, to support the operation at a long distance! Watch out for the anti-Japanese artillery of the Shina people! Ichikawa ordered,
The devil's local support is lacking, a large amount of steel is used to build warships, the army's armored forces have always been the devil's shortcomings, and the damage to the chariot unit is undoubtedly a drop of blood for the devil;
"Hay!" The captain of the first brigade immediately gave an order, and the large army that had just crossed the corner slowly assembled on the path, adjusted the queue, and after breaking through Jinqiao Village, there was also Jinguanqiao......
"Regiment commander, the troops have been brought back!" Pan Zhi, who was anxiously waiting at the regiment headquarters, finally heard the good news,
"Good! Gather all together to reinforce the 1st Battalion! Damn, the devil is coming too hard! "Pan Zhen now finally knows the seriousness of the matter, in just twenty minutes, the first battalion has already suffered more than half of the casualties;
When Zhao Xitian called to remind Pan Zhen before, Pan Zhen thought that the division commander was too careful, and now Pan Zhen, who understands the situation, finally knows, but it is too late, the devil's army is really coming from behind, a steady stream of infantry is accompanied by a large number of combat vehicles, and one of his own regiments has a total of four battle defense guns, and how to hold Jinqiao Village has become a problem;
Jinqiao Village can only hold the Jinguan Bridge if it is defended, it is not only guarding the back of the Jinguan Bridge, but also the cover point for the 15th Regiment to retreat back, if it is lost, the 15th Regiment will be surrounded by devils here......
"Has the Signal Soldier returned? Communications between the regimental headquarters and the 2nd and 3rd battalions must be restored! Pan Zhen led his troops to the defense line of the first battalion and shouted,
"Haven't come back yet! Head. The commander of the guard company shook his head and said,
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The infantry reinforced by the devils set up mortar positions on the trail, and countless shells fell on the broken Jinqiao Village position, and the brothers of the first battalion suppressed by a large number of shells and machine guns continued to die, and the front line could no longer suppress the surprise attack of the devil infantry......
"100 meters, machine gun fire! Grenade ready!" Blood was constantly oozing from the single hole left by the bullet from the devil's rifle on the shoulder, and a brother next to him was bandaging the battalion commander with strips of cloth torn from his clothes;
"Da Da Da ......"
The two remaining Czech machine guns on the position were sprayed with tongues of fire diligently, and the continuous long point shots hit the devils who bent over and charged, and several devil infantry fell in pools of blood with a miserable howl;
The sudden machine-gun fire made the devils who were just about to charge fall to the ground en masse, and the defenders had not had machine-gun fire for two minutes, and the devils thought that they could rush to the position to clear the remnants......
"Boom, boom......"
The explosion of the grenade not only killed the machine gunner and ammunition man on the spot, but also blew the barrel of the Czech light machine gun into a curved shape, and the brothers next to the trench saw that the gun was scrapped, and they didn't have the heart to pick it up and continue shooting, holding a cheap grenade in their hands, the back cover had been unscrewed, and they were ready to throw it out waiting for the battalion commander's order, although the brothers were almost dead, But these remnants of the brothers still did not give up......
"Grenade! Throw! "The commander of the first battalion threw the grenade in his hand,
"Boom, boom......"
Nearly 100 cheap grenades were thrown out by the remaining brothers, and a large number of grenades exploded in a large area of shrapnel that blew up the devils who were attacking the position in front of the position......
"Rush!"
At this critical moment, the reserve team led by Pan Zhen arrived at the battlefield, and a large number of machine gun fire and rifle fire hit the devils who entered a distance of 50 meters, howling miserably, throwing down dozens of corpses and retreating in embarrassment......
"Bang, bang......." "Poof!" "Poof!"
The gunshots of the formal rifle kept rang out, and the blood of the retreating devils kept splashing, and the bullets penetrated the devil's body and kept falling to the ground. "Ahh
"Boom, boom...... Devil tanks 300 meters away opened fire to cover the retreat of the Devil infantry, and the brothers who kept shooting in the trenches and craters were constantly hit by the Devil's high-explosive shells.......
"Stop shooting! Beware of concealment! Pan Zhen roared,
The wounded devil soldiers in front of the position were still wailing, they were too close to the defenders' positions, and they had no chance to run back. The wounded devil who was rolling on the ground in pain kept struggling......
"Bang!"
The rifle in the hand of the guard company commander fired, and the bullet was ready to hit a devil who was struggling and rolling, and the devil in pain finally stopped howling;
After firing the shot, the guard company commander immediately rolled over the crater to guard against the devil's tank gun......
"Bang"
The veterans who had learned the same way fired cold guns from time to time, and after a while, there were no more devils and wounded soldiers wailing in front of the kung fu position......
"Commander, you look in that direction; The devil's infantry is still pouring out, and in addition to the one that was blown up, there are three devil tanks in front of the position that are hovering 300 meters away; I'm afraid there are a lot of devils looking at the posture! The commander of the first battalion returned to Pan Qian's side and said,
"Are our mines still there? Bomb the devil! Pan Zhen roared,
"Commander, our mines haven't been detonated yet, but the devil's tank is too cunning! It's on the edge of the minefield, so you just don't come in! The first battalion commander said helplessly,
The devil probably a brigade of infantry turned around the corner, this place is so big, if you put in more troops, not only will you not be able to strengthen the intensity of the attack, but you may also suffer heavy casualties because the formation is too dense and strafed by the defenders' machine gun fire......
"Send a report: Request the brigade artillery to cover the positions of the Chinese people with this firepower." Ichikawa Yozo frowned and looked at the Jinqiao Village position in front of him, the terrain here is too conducive to the defenders to play, let the troops block the road, and their troops can only fight with the people here to refuel tactically, the chariot troops are inconvenient to move in a small space, and it is likely to be a live target for the people's anti-aircraft artillery.
"Wing Commander, but our troops are too close to the front line, will the artillery bombardment of the brigade blow us up!" The staff officer swallowed and asked,
"Yaga! Soldiers were ordered to dig bunkers on the spot, and a few accidentally wounded shells could not fall on our own positions! Ichikawa yelled.
"Hay!" The devils began to dig improvised trenches next to the narrow mountain roads,
"Regiment commander, the phones of the second and third battalions are connected!" The signal soldier arrived at the position and found Pan Zhi and said,
"Give me the second battalion commander." Pan Zhi commanded,
"Second battalion commander, are there any devils attacking our defense line from the direction of Nanchangpu?" Pan asked,
"Commander, no; Not a single ghost was seen. The second battalion commander said,
"Tell the commander of the third battalion to leave a company to defend the position; The rest of the troops were all assembled on the avenue behind Jinqiao Village, ready to support the positions of the 1st Battalion at any time! "Pan Zhen gave an order, and now he can't control it so much, but he promised the division commander that he would hold the position, if he can't hold out for a few hours, I'm afraid he won't be able to explain when he goes back......
