Chapter 36: The Fierce Battle
"I can't care so much, tell Xu Hu, it doesn't matter if the cannon is destroyed, but the artillery must protect me. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info As long as the people are still there, there will still be cannons sooner or later. Besides, those two infantry guns for four tanks are worth it. ”
If Xu Hu can really kill these four tanks, Li Han really feels that this deal will not be lost.
After Xu Hu received the order, he immediately ordered the artillery to set up two Type 92 infantry guns, and he himself took the high-powered telescope assigned to him by Li Han to observe the position of the devil tank on the city wall. After the artillerymen set up the infantry guns, Xu Hu also observed the position of the devil tank.
"Fire! …”
With Xu Hu's order, the two Type 92 infantry guns quickly entered the working state under the operation of more than a dozen artillerymen, and the piercing screams of the shells piercing the sky resounded on the battlefield.
In just a few minutes, more than two dozen shells were fired from two infantry guns. The shells exploded, and the fireballs mixed with gunpowder smoke instantly rose into the air, centering on the impact point, and the Japanese troops within a radius of several meters were blown to the ground.
The four tanks that had been going to show off their might were all blown up at once, and thick black smoke continued to emerge from behind the wreckage of the tanks.
"Baga Yalu, cunning Zhina army, I will break you into ten thousand pieces! Ordered the artillery squadron to immediately take out the artillery of the Shina Army. ”
Yoshio Nagano watched four tanks being blown up by the artillery fire of the Northeast Army, and his heart was dripping blood. These four tanks, which were all the belongings of their wing, were destroyed by the Chinese army.
What's even more infuriating is that the artillery they use is still home-made, Nagano Yoshio's eyes are red, his seven orifices are smoking, and he gritted his teeth and scolded.
In less than two minutes, the Japanese artillery began to exert its might, and it has to be said that the quality of the Japanese artillery during this period far exceeded that of our army, and the position of Xu Hu and their artillery was determined in less than two minutes.
Soon, there was a violent explosion from the artillery position erected by Xu Hu, but even so, the Japanese leaders who were charging still had shells flying by, more than a dozen devils were blown up into the sky, and more devils were so frightened that they cried and cried for their mothers.
It's just that this situation didn't last long, and after about two minutes, there was no sound from the artillery position on Xu Hu's side.
Li Han knew that his artillery was finished, but he didn't feel sorry for it, it was inevitable that there would be damage in the war, and these were unavoidable. Exchanging two Type 92 infantry guns for four tanks, accompanied by dozens of devils, can be said to be worth the price.
Although there is no tank cover, the devil still fights to the death. They had been following the tanks before, and had already rushed to a distance of less than thirty meters from the forward position. As long as you grit your teeth and hold on for a while, you will be able to rush to the position of the Chinese army.
According to past experience, as soon as the warriors of the empire were killed in the fortifications, the Chinese army would collapse immediately. Therefore, several Japanese commanders insisted on facing huge casualties and advanced step by step towards the forward position of the fourth battalion.
If Li Han was not on the position, it was really possible for the devil commander to succeed, but this time they mentioned it on the iron plate.
Li Han's platoon of guards was all armed with a Mauser rifle and an MP18 submachine gun. Many of the devils who rushed into the position were preparing to show their stunts, and they were all wiped out by the soldiers of the guard platoon before they even had time to turn their guns.
And the remaining ten mortars of the artillery company were not to be outdone, and the ten mortars ran from time to time with three rapid fires, causing a lot of damage to the devils in the attack.
The Japanese army headquarters, Yoshio Nagano's expression was very rich at the moment, and he saw from the telescope Li that there were constantly imperial warriors rushing to the positions of the Chinese army, but the positions of the Chinese army were like a bottomless pit, no matter how many warriors went up, they would disappear.
Until now, Yoshio Nagano had seen at least more than sixty Imperial warriors rushing into the positions of the Shina Army, but he had not found a single figure of the Imperial Warriors appearing on the positions of the Shina Army. Not only that, but at the front of the position, there were constantly warriors of the empire who were blown away by the artillery fire of the Chinese army.
"Yagaya deer! What are the artillerymen for! Immediately ordered the artillery squadron to suppress the fire of the Chinese army, and ordered Captain Komura to immediately take over Zhang Xiaoshan's mountain artillery company and destroy the artillery of the Chinese army, I don't want to hear the artillery of the Chinese army. ”
Yoshio Nagano was unhappy with the performance of Squadron Leader Komura, and as a veteran, he knew very well that the Shina Army was using only light mortars.
The Komura squadron had six Type 92 infantry guns and eight 80 mortars, which not only did not destroy the artillery of the Chinese army, but also caused them heavy casualties to the warriors of the empire. This is a desecration of the lives of the warriors of the Empire.
"Boom!"
The devil's artillery fire quickly covered the position of Xu Hu's artillery company, but Xu Hu always adhered to the basic principle of leaving after the battle, so the loss was very small, and only one Japanese-made 80 mortar had no time to retreat and was blown up by Japanese artillery fire.
Of course, the devil's goal of suppressing the artillery of our army was achieved. But there is still no devil who can stand and step on the position of our army, and without the cover of the iron king of the tank, the charging devil is like a live target.
Although these targets have been doing difficult and detouring movements, there are five or six hundred soldiers on the front-line positions who are constantly firing.
No matter how roundabout the devils are, how standard their actions are, and at the same time in the face of several bullets coming from different directions, they can only honestly return to the Yasukuni Shrine to report for duty.
Soon, the devil's attacking force lost more than 100 people, and this number is still expanding, and this battle line of more than 100 meters has become an insurmountable death line for the devil.
Although the position of the Chinese army was in front of him, he could not get closer. Until now, even the leader of the devil squadron feels that the follow-up is weak.
However, the tenacity of the Japanese army is also famous, and despite the heavy casualties, these devils still refuse to retreat, and lie down on the spot to shoot at our troops.
Obviously, the devil was unwilling to give up like this, and seeing that the attack of the two squadrons was blocked, Yoshio Nagano immediately intensified the attack and once again invested the troops of the two squadrons to attack. With the addition of the previous two squadrons, the devils who are now attacking have a brigade.
At this moment, Li Han and their pressure was great, not only to suppress the devils who were still one step away from rushing into the position, but also to counterattack the devils who were charging, and every company on the position was facing the attack of the devils of at least one squadron, and the front was in an emergency.
Li Han lay in the trench and saw that the two squadrons of devil infantry who had come up with reinforcements were bent over with 38 big covers, lined up in a paratrooper formation, and quickly advanced towards the position. It was not until it was at a certain distance from our position that it stopped and fired at the soldiers on the position.
Although there was no tank as cover, the devil's artillery fire never stopped, and when the devil began to run forward, the soldiers were dodging the devil's shells, and when the devil's shelling stopped, the charging devil had already arrived quite close to the first batch of devils rushing up.
The two sides began to shoot at each other, the devil's shooting accuracy was higher than that of the soldiers, and the soldiers occupied the advantage of the fortifications.
The soldiers of the guard platoon led by Li Han are like firefighters, where there is danger, they appear at the most critical moment on the battlefield every time.
The artillery company in the city played a great role, the number of devils charging was very dense, and a mortar shell could eliminate a lot of devils, so the devils had to open the stragglers, so that their firepower was not so concentrated, and the pressure on the soldiers to defend was not small.
In less than three hours, the devil launched five attacks, and finally because he was not good at night fighting, the devil finally stopped the offensive before dark, and both the Japanese army and Li Han breathed a sigh of relief on the position.
"Fuck these little devils, they're so vicious!"
The warriors saw the devil retreat, and the warriors also exhaled heavily. Especially the soldiers of the two companies of Shanhu and Zhao Gang, they were fighting with the devil for the first time, and as soon as the devil came up, the artillery bombarded, the tank covered the infantry charge, and the powerful firepower instantly blinded the soldiers.
In addition to the powerful firepower, the devil's fighting style also opened their eyes, the devil not only has accurate marksmanship, but also has an unusually tenacious will to fight, one by one, like an outlaw, rushing forward without his life.
After a day's fighting, the fourth battalion had lost more than two companies of troops, and the two companies supported by Dong Futing also suffered considerable losses.
Li Han's face was no longer as calm and calm as before, it was full of gloom, and even his eyebrows were wrinkled, he knew that if he continued like this, they would not be able to hold on for a few days with Gao Jian's reinforcements.
In the end, Li Han decided to abandon the position outside the city and retreat all the people to the city to prepare for street battles with the devils. Anyway, his task is to hold on to Jianping County, as long as Li Han's troops are still in the city, Nagano Yoshio will not dare to bypass here and directly attack Chaoyang County, and Li Han will not be considered a violation of military orders.
After counting, there were only about 400 people in the four companies who went out of the city to fight, and when they returned, there were only about 400 people. If we continue to hold out outside the city, we don't know how many people will die.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Han ordered all the troops to withdraw to the city. After a full day of high-intensity fighting, the warriors have consumed both mental and physical strength to a limit, just go back to the city to rest for a night, and tomorrow will be a vigorous warrior.
If you continue to stay on the front line, you have to guard against the sneak attack of the devil, even if you barely survive tomorrow, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, although the devil does not like night battles, but it is definitely not that he will not fight at night.
"Hu Zhi, after the troops are withdrawn, you bury more explosives bags on the position, and Lao Tzu will teach the devil an unforgettable lesson tomorrow." Before leaving, Li Han commanded.
"Yes! Battalion commander! ”
Hu Zhi saluted and immediately ran to make arrangements.
Maybe the attack was too fierce on the first day, and on the morning of the second day, the devil's attack was not as fierce as yesterday's, and there was only one squadron of devils in the first wave of attack.
However, at this time, there was only a squad of soldiers left behind by Hu Zhi in the position outside the city, and they symbolically resisted for a while, and then gave up the position to the devils.
This can make the devil officer who led the team very happy, yesterday the wing captain dispatched a whole brigade of troops, and four or five hundred imperial warriors died, but they did not take the position of the Chinese army.
Today it was actually broken by one of his squadrons, and His Excellency the Squadron Leader could already imagine the scene where the Wing Commander was impressed by himself.
