Chapter 104: The Battle of Tianjiazhai
Chapter 104 Tianjiazhai Resistance Battle
Zhang Ziwen didn't know how he got out of the division headquarters, but the three heavy machine guns carried by the twelve brothers behind him reminded him.
"Brother Wen, why did the division headquarters bring the heavy machine gun over?"
Seeing that the division headquarters was eagerly calling Zhang Ziwen over, the group of people in the third battalion was worried that something would happen, and the brothers of the entire battalion had been waiting for another expedition.
"This machine gun is ours."
As soon as Zhang Ziwen's words fell, he had already looked at the strength of the heavy machine gun that could not be pulled out, and directly stepped forward to hug it.
"Brother Wen, what's the matter, it's impossible for the entire division to give it to us for no reason, right?"
Seeing that the old pole and a few people were also waiting for him to give an explanation, Zhang Ziwen had no choice but to say it, but he couldn't hide it anyway.
"We are now directly subordinate to the division and have an independent battalion establishment."
It was completely different from Zhang Ziwen's expected frustration, and when he heard the news, the faces of the several commanders in front of him were filled with joy.
"What? Looks like you're happy. ”
Hearing Zhang Ziwen's words, he put away his joy one by one, but it was so easy, and his expressions became strange.
"Ahem, Brother Wen, this is a summary of the battle, everyone has written it."
Zhang Ziwen's battle summary found that it was not as thick as before, but it was a few points heavier than before.
"Okay, don't hold it back, just say anything, it's all your own people, there's nothing you can't say."
"Really?"
The old pole's respect for Zhang Ziwen has become more and more calm and composed, and he is not as presumptuous as before, and it is not conducive to Zhang Ziwen leading the troops.
"Then I'll just say, after breaking away from the 613 regiment, we are more independent and autonomous, and there is less restraint and surveillance. Moreover, it is no longer confined to conventional positional warfare, and can be carried out on the basis of the teaching team, and more effectively attack the little devils, which should also be the meaning of the division headquarters. ”
After getting Zhang Ziwen's nod, the old pole boldly expressed his opinion.
"I agree with the Ninth Company Commander."
Mao Wenguang was the first to echo the old pole, which made Zhang Ziwen feel novel, Mao Wenguang has fulfilled the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes since he entered the third battalion, and now he is starting to speak, proving that he has been integrated.
"The analysis makes sense, but now that the company is disabled, March is seriously injured, and there is only one military commander left in the company, Lehi, to deal with this matter first."
Zhang Ziwen didn't want to guess too much about the thoughts of the division, as long as he figured out the bottom line, he could do it boldly.
"I want to replenish the engineer platoon into a company, restore the original structure, replenish the supply platoon with the machine gun platoon to form a machine gun company, and the battalion headquarters will be supplemented into all the companies except for the necessary personnel, and I can say anything that is wrong if I think there is anything wrong."
When Zhang Ziwen discussed the reorganization with the brothers, a major incident occurred in the entire Huangmei area.
The 6th Division encountered a counterattack by the 4th Corps in the morning, and many of the occupied areas were recaptured. Inaba Shiro immediately shrank his forces, leaving only one wing to protect Huangmei Castle, and all the other troops went west, counterattacking on all fronts, and at the same time mobilizing planes to bomb.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the 3rd Battalion of the 618th Regiment was stationed at Eagle Rock.
"Battalion commander, when did you say this devil will come up, the third battalion of the 613 regiment that retreated at noon has fought a good battle, solar terms."
The one who asked Zhao Xu was Li Xiping, the commander of the eighth company of the 618th Regiment, who was also the team that attacked Tianjiazhai with the third battalion.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before you hear this movement, now the Japanese army is attacking to the north, and when you breathe a sigh of relief, it will be our turn."
"It's just right to come, hit him hard."
"Don't be wordy, hurry up and strengthen your position, I didn't see the planes in the sky."
Zhao Xu picked up the telescope and planned to take a look, but he didn't think that his telescope only had half of the field of view, and the other half was not light, so it was really unfortunate to get this telescope.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after an afternoon of rest, Fujimura seconded half of the troops, and reopened to the front line of Tianjiazhai with the strength of one and a half brigades.
As long as half of the field of view, Zhao Xu could also see the Japanese troops converging down the mountain.
"Keep my eyes wide open, the devil has already arrived at the bottom of the mountain, aim for me in a while and then fight, don't learn Zhang to be confused, his eyes are not good, so there are many bullets, and he can afford to waste it, but we don't have it."
"Don't worry, battalion commander, we will not be confused."
There was laughter from the position, and most people didn't know who this confusion was, and it was only under the explanation of the veteran that they figured out that it was the commander of the third battalion of the 613 regiment who fought together this morning.
According to the terrain north of Tianjiazhai, the 618th Regiment placed three battalions in the shape of a finished glyph, one battalion was placed north of Yunfeng Temple, the south was connected to the Tianjiazhai position, and the north was connected to the condescending Eagle Rock position. The second battalion was placed in the area of Wujialu, controlling the Huangguang Highway in the north and covering the retreat of the Eagle Rock position in the south.
"We will no longer attack from Tianjiazhai, but along the road to the north, at this point."
Fujimura's low-key approach is also the position north of Yunfeng Temple defended by the first battalion of the 618th Regiment, where the third battalion of Eagle Rock is condescending to attack, and the front is also blocked by a battalion, Fujimura's subordinates don't understand it at all.
"You see, this place is an inverted figure-eight slope, the higher you go, the more open it is, although the enemy can concentrate on attacking, but after the aircraft reconnaissance, they found that there is a gap between here and here, and there are feints on both sides, and then assault from it, you will definitely be able to take it in one fell swoop, can you do it?"
"Hay!"
Zhao Xu didn't know what the Japanese army was doing, but it must have been really suffocating if he hadn't seen movement for a long time, so he didn't feel at ease, so he sent people to various positions to inform.
When the notification arrived at the Tianjiazhai position, Wang Jingyuan was losing his temper.
"This Zhang Ziwen, just leave, and he still takes care of him. No, call the division headquarters again and ask to be transferred back to the third battalion. ”
"Regiment commander, you see that you have sent more than a dozen telegrams to the division headquarters in the past half an hour, and the division headquarters has only one answer, military transfer."
Wang Jingyuan lost his temper at all, Wu Zijian saw that Wang Jingyuan's temper was a little smaller, and just wanted to step forward to say a few words to Zhang Ziwen, but was interrupted by someone sent by Zhao Xu.
"Commander Wang, our battalion commander Zhao asked me to tell you, the devils have been gathering at the bottom of the mountain for half an hour and are still moving, our battalion commander is worried that the devils are cheating, so let you pay attention."
Wang Jingyuan was in a bad mood, so Zhao Xu's correspondent hit the muzzle of the gun, and Wu Zijian looked at Wang Jingyuan, who was like a shrew, and didn't dare to help Zhang Ziwen speak anymore.
"Commander, the devil plane is coming."
Dai Jun hurriedly ran in and reminded Wang Jingyuan to avoid artillery, and when he heard that the devil plane was coming, Wang Jingyuan immediately copied the telescope and rushed to the position.
"Commander~"
Wu Zijian ran out after him, Wang Jingyuan couldn't have an accident, and Wu Zijian still remembered the consequences of Luo Yibin and Wei Zixuan's death.
While the planes dropped bombs, the Japanese troops divided into three routes, one along the hill from the middle, with the strength of one machine gun squadron and one infantry squadron to advance covertly, and the other two directly feinted to attack the positions north of Tianjiazhai and Yunfeng Temple.
"Dai Jun, you take another platoon to Shangganjiayuan to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through to the south."
Wang Jingyuan was deployed according to Zhang Ziwen's original deployment, and the regimental headquarters plus the first battalion and the second battalion and one company defended the frontal position, and the troops of the two companies of the second battalion defended the front line of Shangganjiayuan. Because there is a 618th regiment in the north, Wang Jingyuan thinks that the Japanese army will not attack the north, mainly because Eagle Rock is condescending and dangerous, and a commander will not be able to do it.
"Commander, the devil is coming up, do you want to fire?"
"Don't be in a hurry, don't fire all of them for a while, let the Japanese troops get to the front of the position and then fire all of them."
Wang Jingyuan wanted to hide the firepower and keep the same firepower as the third battalion, the Japanese army would definitely think that there was no increase in troops, and they would give you a ruthless attack when the Japanese army increased its troops.
"Fire"
The three positions of Tianjiazhai and Eagle Rock opened fire at the same time, and the firepower of the two regiments made it difficult for the Japanese army to move an inch.
"The battalion commander is not very good at the devil, and he can retreat in a few clicks."
"Don't talk nonsense, the devil is up again."
Zhao Xu always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it, the Japanese army's refueling tactics made him wonder, the Japanese army in the battle of Tianjiazhai in the morning was not like this.
As soon as the battle of Tianjiazhai began, the headquarters of the 103rd Division received a telegram.
"Lao He, I'll go to supervise the war, you look at home."
Just dealt with Zhang Ziwen's affairs, and called He Zhizhong to ask him to replenish the soldiers, He Shaozhou started Tianjiazhai before he ate, and he could only let Wan Shijiong go.
