For the officers and men of the 132nd Division of the 77th Army guarding the banks of the Shi River, they knew from yesterday that for many of them today, they may not be able to leave their positions alive. This kind of life and death is also accustomed to veterans.
Faced with the little devils who began to cross the river to prepare for the attack, the veterans on the position looked very calm. They know that the little devils are now crossing the river while the planes are bombing their positions. But before the offensive, there will definitely be some more shelling.
Looking at many recruits sitting beside him, a little trembling, these veterans who have experienced countless life and death tests, know that this is the difference between recruits and veterans. When the veteran arrives for battle, his mood is calmer than ever.
Because they all know that if they really want to fight, the more afraid they are of death, the easier it is to die!
Looking at these new recruits who have changed one stubble after another, the veterans know that human life is the least valuable in these years. But as comrades-in-arms, they still smiled and comforted: "Don't tremble! Shake it down any longer, I'm afraid you'll pee your pants later. ”
Jokes like this made many recruits feel panicked. But these recruits must admit that compared to the mentality of these veterans, they are indeed much worse. Such a brutal resistance battle was really beyond their expectations.
On the contrary, some squad and platoon leaders comforted: "Okay, wait for a few of you veterans, take a look at these recruits." Don't laugh at people, who hasn't had a time like this? When you first went to war, weren't you also like this bear?
Looking at this, the little devil should be about to attack. Whether you are scared or not, you must fight me well when you get into battle. Kill a little devil to earn enough money, and kill two and you will earn one.
Today's attack of the little devils must be fierce, but our regiment has received the task of holding on here for three days. Today is only the second day, if you want to leave the position alive, then brace yourself and kill the little devils.
Kill one more devil, and you'll have one more chance to get out of the position alive. As long as you fight well, the little devil is not as terrible as you think. It's all a shoulder and a head, and they're all finished if they get shot. ”
With the comfort and enlightenment of these grassroots officers, they looked at the little devil plane that had left. Many soldiers who had taken refuge in the bomb shelters were also directed by these officers to go outside to reinforce the bombed fortifications.
At this moment, the whistling sound from afar made these officers and soldiers who were building fortifications immediately change their expressions and said: "Enter the cave, the little devil has begun to shell!" Damn, why are there so many shells for little devils? The fight is endless! ”
After the bombardment, the heavy artillery followed, and the officers and men who had fought with the little devils several times also knew about such offensive tactics. And Feng Zhi'an, who was staying in the rear position at the moment, was also very nervous looking at the situation in the forward position through the telescope.
At the same time, Qiu Jingshan, who served as a staff officer of the temporary operations command room, also said in a timely manner: "Military seat, the death squad has begun to move. Our reserves are ready to counterattack. ”
'Good! Grandma's, today Lao Tzu will fight with the little devil. Zhenting, your division can be ready for battle. In addition, call the artillery regiment and ask them to plow the river beach positions for me as soon as the counterattack begins. ’
'Yes, Throne! ’
The commander of the 37th Division, who received the order, although he didn't know much about this commander, had the courage to dare to fight a defensive counterattack with the little devils. But he also knew that if there was a real chance to annihilate the Japanese army that crossed the river, then the credit would be really not small.
It can even be said that as long as this battle is fought. The 13th Division of the Japanese Army, which launched an attack across the river, was bound to adjust its deployment and wait for follow-up reinforcements. Without reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack them again.
This means that the 77th Army has to hold on to the task of seven days, and it is very likely to be completed. Even when they withdraw, the 77th Army will not be enough to break their bones, and there is no need to worry about the Central Army annexing and dividing them in the name of expansion.
In addition to the 37th Division, the commander of the 132nd Division, who was also at the headquarters, also made calls to the troops at the front. Let them prepare for the attack, such an order makes the regimental commanders who block the position equally confused.
And the commander of the 132nd Division said very directly: "Don't ask so much, wait a minute, as long as you see three flares, you must give me the fastest speed to counterattack." When the time comes, the 37th Division will also cooperate with you to counterattack, do you understand? ”
I learned that the 37th Division, which was stationed behind them, had also been transferred. Although these main regiment commanders did not understand the courage from the military headquarters to dare to fight the defensive counterattack of the little devils, they all knew that they had to carry out the order.
When the little devil heavy artillery began to shell the blocking position, the Japanese troops who crossed the river also began to form a formation and launched an attack on the blocking position guarded by the 132nd Division in front. When the artillery fire extended, they could also launch a ground attack.
Ogisu Libing, who was also in the temporary command headquarters in the rear, listened to the sound of artillery not far away, and said with a smile: "How many of our troops have successfully crossed the river?" ”
'Report to the general, two infantry wings have successfully crossed the river, and the follow-up troops are also in the process of crossing. ’
'Yo! Tell our attacking troops and try to end the battle before lunch. It is in vain for our enemies to try to stop our attack with such despicable tactics. We need to get back yesterday's rest. ’
'Hey! ’
Just when the Ogisu soldiers fantasized that they would be able to successfully break through the Central Army's defense line along the river today, several cars also drove up to shell the rumbling heavy artillery wing's position. Seeing these cars, the Japanese infantry in charge of defense quickly let them go.
The reason for this is that these vehicles are used to deliver ammunition to the heavy artillery wing. After all, yesterday they shelled for a day, and today they have to support the infantry attack, and the required shells still need to be replenished in time.
It's just that no one would have thought that these cars transporting artillery shells have already been subcontracted on the way to deliver ammunition. At this moment, behind the car blocked by the cloth, there are already many soldiers with loaded guns.
Even if the infantry had checked, but seeing that there were ammunition boxes piled up behind the car, no one deliberately climbed into the car to check anything. After all, this is the place they control, and these Japanese troops have no suspicion that these convoys have been dropped.
Arriving at the place where the ammunition was stored at the artillery position, the Japanese infantrymen who were responsible for escorting the ammunition also chatted with the receiving artillery as if familiar. But at this time, some Japanese artillerymen who seemed to be familiar with each other felt a sharp pain in their chest and throat.
They were not even able to make any noise, and were wiped out by the baggage soldiers who were transporting the ammunition. It was also at this time that groups of infantry wearing Japanese uniforms were quickly released from the vehicles that were originally transporting artillery shells.
Lin Tie, the commander of the 'Japanese battalion' who took over the temporary warehouse of the Japanese heavy artillery wing and led the team to infiltrate, said solemnly and coldly: "The first company and the second company are responsible for blocking the infantry of the little devils. The third company and the fourth company will work with me to eliminate the artillery positions of the little devils. ”
'Yes, Battalion Commander! ’
'In addition, send a telegram to the brigade commander informing us that we have drilled into the artillery positions of the little devils. A purge is underway, so that a group can be ready to go. While the little devils are still shelling, a quick battle! ’
After quickly assigning the combat mission, Lin Tie asked a group of soldiers to disguise themselves as soldiers transporting artillery shells and began to walk towards the artillery position of the little devil. At this time, Li Xiangdong also received a telegram from Lin Tie.
Seeing that Lin Tie successfully infiltrated the little devil's artillery position, Li Xiangdong also smiled and said, "Okay! It seems that the first merit of this battle is this kid again! Send a telegram to the 77th Army to inform us of the news that our unit has successfully succeeded.
Let them, after seeing the heavy artillery extinguished, immediately launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops crossing the river. At the same time, send a telegram to the saber them, informing us that we have begun the offensive. Let them find an opportunity to see if they can take out the command of the little devils. ”
'Yes, Brigadier! ’
When the telegram sent by the reconnaissance brigade was quickly conveyed to the regiment responsible for attacking the artillery positions, as well as to the 77 Army, which was anxiously waiting for a counteroffensive. After translating the telegram, Qiu Jingshan also couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
A little excited: "Commander, the death squad has succeeded!" As soon as the little devil's artillery fire stops, we can fight back! ”
'Good! Terrible! You two, you can order your troops to prepare for a counterattack. At the same time order the artillery regiment, prepare for the shelling! ’
Just when the two division commanders felt that the shelling of the little devils in their forward positions was still ringing. The shelling, which was supposed to be an extension of fire, seemed to have been abruptly interrupted. This situation shocked the two of them.
On the other hand, Feng Zhi'an laughed and said, "Okay, it seems that the death squad has succeeded!" Signal Soldier, shoot three flares! Start fighting back! ”
The Japanese troops crossing the river, who were still preparing to advance and waiting for the artillery fire to begin to extend, looked at the sudden interruption of the shelling, which also looked a little inexplicable. It stands to reason that the artillery should continue shelling for some time.
After all, they are still some distance away from the blocking position of the 77th Army at the moment. When they are shelling, the infantry spreads out in formation to prepare for the attack, which also requires a little adjustment time!
How can the shelling suddenly stop?
In fact, at this time the artillery positions, although the shelling had stopped, the gunfire began to rage. Those unarmed Japanese artillerymen were mercilessly killed on the artillery position by Lin Tie and others, who were mixed in.
The Japanese infantrymen guarding the artillery position realized that something was wrong when they heard the sound of gunfire coming from the artillery position. Just as they were sending troops to support, a flurry of gunfire rang out in front of their defensive position.
Artillery positions under attack!
When Ogisu Libing heard the news, his first reaction was 'impossible'. After all, their artillery positions were defended by an infantry brigade. It is easy to attack the artillery position, but I am afraid that it is unlikely.
But the problem is that now there is already fierce gunfire from the side of the artillery position, and the same can be said about the stopped shelling. Something big happened to their artillery positions! Now they're afraid they're in big trouble! (To be continued.) )
