Chapter 80: The main force fights head-on
1,500 meters, it is not far away, but it is not close. Running from 1,500 meters away, the soldiers were already out of breath, and even Company Commander Qi himself felt a little dry in his throat and eyes. If the troops are immediately thrown into battle, they will suffer in terms of physical strength first. As a battlefield veteran, Company Commander Qi certainly knows common sense on the battlefield.
Stop the troops first and let everyone breathe, just like a tiger always sneaks close to its prey before preying, wait until it reaches a suitable distance, and then concentrate and pounce with all your strength, and strive to hit it with one hit!
Of course, devils are not prey, they are much more dangerous than prey, and if one is not good, the hunter and the prey may have to fall one by one. We have to be even more cautious when dealing with them.
From fast running to slow walking, seeing that the soldiers took this breath evenly, and the devil could see more clearly, Qi Lian Commander shouted fiercely: "Fight!" In an instant, there was a loud gunfire, and the devils fell down in pieces like cut down artemisia grass. The avant-garde took advantage of it.
The Thirteenth Wing of the Devils is fighting a bloody battle with the Seventy-Fourth Army, and this unit is the team of the Devils guarding behind. After being caught off guard by the attack, the devils quickly began to counterattack, and the battle began in an instant.
Suddenly gunshots rang out at the front of the line. I've met the devil! Wang Jiantang's spirits were lifted and his eyes lit up.
"Report, the avant-garde company has encountered the Japanese army and has launched an attack!" The communications corps rushed over in time to report on the battle situation ahead.
"The first battalion immediately went into battle, the second battalion quickly followed, and the third battalion outflanked from the left flank. Spy Company follow me! "Knowing that he had met a devil, Wang Jiantang immediately started a strong attack." Report on the situation of our regiment! "Fight is beating, what should be reported to the top has to be reported, as the head of the regiment, Wang Jiantang will not forget this.
The road is narrow, and the enemy meets. The 504th Regiment came up and started a battle with the devil, the squadron that served as the guard guard.
The devils were attacking in the front, and although there were guards left behind, they did not build any fortifications. Our army was attacking from afar, and of course there were no fortifications to rely on, so the two armies began to fight in this barren mountain and wilderness. Stones, trees, ditches, mounds, all the natural things that nature provides are the best shelter for soldiers on both sides. Bullets flying, shells whistling, explosions and the whirling of bullets in the air combine to form the most brilliant battlefield sound.
"Mortar, hit me!" The artillery company of the 504th Regiment had six mortars, and seeing that the grenadiers of the devils hit accurately, Wang Jiantang remembered the mortars in his regiment. Compared with mountain artillery and field artillery, mortars are nothing, and compared with grenadiers, 83-mm mortars are absolutely heavy weapons. As soon as the six mortars fired, they immediately suppressed the grenadiers of the devils.
Of course, the devil will not put a squadron behind his back and leave it alone, Wang Jiantang led the troops to fight, and the captain of the devil wing will know. There were brigades above the squadron, and the Japanese brigade had four infantry squadrons under its jurisdiction. One squadron was attacked, and the other three squadrons quickly came to support, and the artillery squad in the devil's brigade had two seventy-millimeter Type 92 infantry guns. As soon as these two big guys opened fire, the mortars of our army were not enough.
Boom boom two guns down, the artillery company, which was slightly slower than half a beat in the transfer action, was immediately hit hard. The fighters sacrificed a lot, and the mortars were also blown up by the devils. Fortunately, the devil only has these two heavy cannons, and after the two shells are fired, the devil still has to load the shells. Taking advantage of this gap, the fighters of the artillery company ran away with the remaining two barrels. Before he could even reach a hundred meters after running out, the devil's shell fell on the position just now.
Looking at the position that had turned into several large craters, as well as the scattered mortar fragments and the wreckage of his soldiers, the artillery company commander slapped himself in the mouth. It was because he listened to the regiment commander's order to fire the artillery continuously, and as soon as he threw himself into the battle, he forgot the artillery code set by the military seat. Two rounds of shelling were followed by a delay in time, as a result of which twenty fighters were killed and four valuable mortars were blown up.
Wiping away his tears, the artillery company commander regained his spirits and led the remaining soldiers and the two mortars back into battle. On the battlefield of fighting for his life with the Japanese invaders, there is no room for regrets, and there is no time to cry, as a soldier, he can only leave his personal life and death honor and disgrace behind to fight the enemy. This is the choice of soldiers in this era, and it is also the responsibility they must bear.
At the headquarters of the 58th Division, Zhang Lingfu was talking to his subordinates on the phone with the phone, "Don't withdraw a single step!" Even if the troops fight hard, you are not allowed to take a step back! This is the military seat, and it is also the order of the principal! Which one doesn't listen, military law is ruthless, don't blame me for being unsympathetic! ”
The regiment commander at the front called him, saying that the casualties of the troops were too great, and asked if he could withdraw first, let the main force of the Japanese army attack from the rear, but Zhang Lingfu refused.
The 74th Army is a banner and a symbol of the spirit. In Wanjialing and Shanggao, the 74th Army has won honors that are enough to make all soldiers envious! The Flying Tiger Flag, as well as the dark green American military uniform on this body, are all symbols of elite and trump cards!
The principal attaches so much importance to the 74th Army, and of course the 74th Army must win glory for the principal and serve the country! Wearing such a good military uniform and using such a good weapon is to fight a tough battle! If even the 74th Army has to take a detour when facing the devils, and it will only make small moves behind its back, then what other troops in China dare to work hard face to face with the Japanese devils?
This is the common idea of Zhang Lingfu and all the senior officers of the 74th Army! Therefore, although Wang Yaowu is full of scheming in his heart, he can use any trick when facing devils, but he will never admit defeat and retreat. Zhang Lingfu's temperament is even stronger than Wang Yaowu's, and of course he can't allow the enemy to show weakness to happen.
Putting down the phone, General Zhang's eyes straightened a little. His opponent in front of him is neither the 106th Division of Wanjialing nor the 34th Division of Shanggao, but the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, which is the Standing Class A Division of the Japanese Army, the absolute main force, this devil is not ordinary and difficult to deal with!
The 6th Division next to it is like a mad dog, biting to death like crazy! The other devils of the Fourth Division are like idlers who join in the fun, looking for an opportunity to come over and take advantage, once the time is not right, these guys will not come up when they shrink behind! Zhang Lingfu, who was holding his breath and wanted to find some feeling from the Fourth Division, couldn't find a chance. It's a tough battle! After scolding his subordinate regiment commanders, Division Commander Zhang also scratched his head.
"Jingle bell!" The phone rang again. Zhang Lingfu reached out and grabbed the microphone.
The voice of another regimental commander of the 58th Division came from the phone: "Report to the deputy seat, the attack of the 13th Wing of the 6th Division in front of our regiment has suddenly weakened!" The observation post said that there was gunfire behind the 13th Wing, and that they were being attacked by unknown troops! ”
