Chapter 56: The Fierce Battle of Yishui (6)
The Japanese were stunned by the sudden appearance of heavy machine guns and mortars, and before they could react, there was not much left of the infantry squadron that followed the tank attack, and the squadron leader who commanded the attack immediately ordered a retreat......
As the only remaining tanks reversed frantically, the devils landed 400 meters away, and the two Japanese squadrons that were about to launch a wave attack turned around and ran towards the starting position......
"Wang Qiang, order the heavy machine gun to hide immediately and move to the underground bunker; Huang Wujun, ordered the mortars to retreat to underground bunkers, quickly. Half of the light machine guns of the third battalion were removed, and the remaining brethren opened fire with all their might, striking at the retreating infantry of the devils; He Jianye was shouting frantically and giving orders;
Seeing that the attacking devil ran out of the 300-meter range, He Jianye looked at the sky and understood that today's battle had just begun......
"Everyone, stop shooting, leave observers; Enter the anti-artillery hole. Remove! He Jianye ordered,
The devils withdrew from the 400-meter area, the heavy machine guns and mortars of the 16th Regiment also stopped roaring, light machine guns and a large number of infantry entered the bunkers, and the wounded were sent to the underground field hospital through the traffic trenches......
"Tweet ......", "Boom", ...... "Boom"
The retaliatory artillery fire of the devils immediately came towards the position of the 16th Regiment, and the brothers hiding in the underground bunkers were rejoicing, it was good to be a good commander, and they did not need to be bombed by the devils on the position, as long as they listened to the movement of the anti-artillery holes and prevented the anti-artillery holes from collapsing......
The sound of the artillery stopped, and he stayed in the anti-artillery hole for another five minutes, and He Jianye still did not hear the whistle,
"What's going on? Could it be that all the observation posts have been killed? He Jianye frowned and climbed out of the anti-artillery hole, took out a telescope on the edge of the trench and looked at the starting position of the Japanese army, there was no one......
"What are the little devils doing?" Wang Qiang climbed out of the anti-artillery hole, bent down and ran to He Jianye's side and asked,
"How do I know? Why don't you go over and ask? He Jianye said,
"Hehe, head of the regiment, we don't know how to talk about ghosts!" Wang Qiang said with a smile,
"Tell the brothers to stay in the cannon hole and don't move, to prevent the devil's tricks!" He Jianye said
"Yes, Captain!" Wang Qiang ran to give the order......
A morning spent in an eerie silence, and when it was time for lunch, He Jianye ate the multigrain cakes sent by the cooking class, drank cold water, and frowned while eating, thinking about what big moves the devil was holding......
"Tanks and heavy artillery devils have been used, this small position, the devil's plane is not so wasted to bomb, the devil's plane should now mainly bomb the national army positions in the Taierzhuang area? What else is the ultimate? He Jianye racked his brains and thought,
"Ahh The devil doesn't want to put poison gas, right? He Jianye woke up suddenly!
"Yang Xiaoshi! Follow me, go! He Jianye immediately put down the multigrain cake in his hand, jumped out of the trench with a sniper rifle on his back, and crawled towards the Japanese position opposite......
"Captain, danger, come back!" A bunch of people behind were shouting wildly, and Yang Xiaoshi immediately led two scouts to follow......
"Regiment leader, go this way, you can clearly see the situation of the devil's camp opposite." Yang Xiaoshi followed He Jianye and said,
Half an hour later, He Jianye and Yang Xiaoshi were behind a bush, looking at the Japanese camp with binoculars.
"Chief, you see, most of the devils have already finished their lunch; There's a logistician carrying boxes, I guess it's shells; It seems that the devil is still an old hand, the artillery is bombarding, and the infantry is rushing! Yang Xiaoshi stared at the telescope and said to He Jianye,
The telescope in He Jianye's hand looked at the box carried by the devil, looking at the devil's cautious appearance, He Jianye tried hard to see what the box was, but he couldn't see it too far......
"Let's go, go back!" He Jianye said, and after speaking, he crawled towards the position of the 16th Regiment......
"Bring me the map," He Jianye said, sitting on top of the ammunition box in the trench, and took a sip of water from the kettle on his waist......
Wang Qiang brought the map, He Jianye spread the map on the empty ammunition box, frowned and said,
"You see, on the right side of our line of defense is Yishui; The devil can't help it from that side, on the left is a small dirt slope with woods on it, which can be hidden! ”
"Who's in charge of defending on the left right now?" He Jianye asked,
"The regimental commander is a company of the first battalion." Zeng Da said,
"Immediately ask Zhu Yunhua to send a platoon to the forest on the left to see if there is anything abnormal?" He Jianye commanded,
"Our position is in Gaoji, and behind is Gaozhuang; Once the devils break through Gaoji, the artillery fire will face Gaozhuang, and in any case, our regimental headquarters and underground wounded bunkers will be threatened. Gaoji is in a low-lying place, higher than the Yishui position next to it, if the devils set up artillery on the dirt slope on the left, our position will be unobstructed, if poison gas bombs are fired from above, the Gaoji position will suffer heavy casualties......"
"Boom... Boom..."He Jianye said here, and suddenly there was an explosion of a grenade,
"Where's the shelling?" He Jianye asked,
"The regiment commander, a platoon sent by the commander of the first battalion, was fired back by grenades and machine guns from the Japanese army. Five brothers died, and the commander of the first battalion asked for artillery support, saying that he would organize the next attack immediately and would definitely take the dirt slope! Zeng came back from a big run and reported,
"also organized a fart attack and asked Zhu Yunhua to defend the left flank." He Jianye ordered,
"Call Yang Shunsen to come over, Wang Qiang, immediately organize the brothers to move the ammunition and baggage back to Gaozhuang, and the heavy machine gun and artillery battalions immediately retreat to Gaozhuang. Only the infantry remained. He Jianye ordered,
"Yes!" Puzzled, Wang Qiang went to order the retreat......
"Commander, what are your orders?" Yang Shunsen ran over,
"Take out all our explosives, lay them along the Gaoji requisitioned area, and try to estimate the bombing power of the Japanese heavy artillery when laying them, so as not to let the Japanese heavy artillery detonate the buried explosives. Just go! He Jianye said,
"Yes, Captain." Yang Shunsen ran away to organize the engineer company to plant explosives......
"Regiment commander, two squadrons of devils are assembled in the starting position, followed by a large number of infantry artillery ......" The scout came back and reported,
"Damn, whether you can hold the high set or not, it depends on this wave." He Jianye cursed,
"Zeng Da, send someone to keep an eye on the position of the first battalion on the left flank, and come back and report any movement immediately!" He Jianye ordered,
"Everyone, get into the bomb hole! Only the observation posts remained. He Jianye ordered,
But He Jianye himself climbed into a single bunker, did not enter the anti-artillery hole, and watched with a telescope as the devils in front of him were assembling and preparing to attack......
"Tweet ......", "Boom", ...... "Boom"
The artillery preparation before the devil's attack was still so accurate, and after about 20 minutes, the infantry assembled by the devil slowly advanced towards the position of the 16th regiment......
After the artillery preparation was over, the infantry of the 16th Regiment rushed to the trenches, and light machine guns began to be erected in large numbers, ready to start firing at the infantry attacking the devils.
