Chapter 86: The Longest Night (2)

Zhang Xuewu, who was in command, stood in front of the sand table, and did not follow the advice of Li Xinkai and Huang Tao to board the armored train, and the two saw that Zhang Xuewu did not follow the advice, so they had to take their own guard platoons to each regiment to supervise the battle, Zhang Xuewu glanced at the direction of the side ridge of Majiagou with the rumbling of artillery and frowned involuntarily, and his eyes focused on the line of Laohugou and Seng Guanfeng, where is the breakthrough point of the army?

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Xuewu picked up the phone, and soon remembered Zhao Xinyu's hoarse voice on the other end of the phone, Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said: "Are you sure that the existing troops will hold on until noon tomorrow?" ”

In the rumbling cannon, Zhang Xuewu heard Zhao Xinyu's sonorous answer! Zhang Xuewu nodded with satisfaction, looked at his watch and said: "I want to use the reserves of the two battalions of your regiment, you have to be prepared for hard fighting, and the artillery regiment can't provide fire support!" ”

Zhao Xinyu was silent for a while and said loudly: "Please rest assured!" All the officers and men of our third regiment are in the position, and they swear to live and die together with the position! ”

After Zhang Xuewu put down the phone, he turned his gaze to the direction of Laohugou, since the sound of artillery sounded on the side ridge of Majiagou, he was also a little relieved, the biting dog does not bark, the enemy has no obligation to inform you where they are going to attack, unless the difference between the strength of the enemy and us is too large, in order to shock the enemy's courage and hit its morale, deliberately point out the direction of the attack, in order to achieve the effect of a blow and collapse, whether it is politically or militarily, it can play a very good effect.

At present, the straight-line distance between Laohugou and Seng Guanfeng is within the range of 75 mm caliber wild mountain artillery, so the army will not attack the two support points at the same time. Zhang Xuewu stood in front of the sand table and thought hard, he now concentrated the strength of five reinforced battalions on standby, and was ready to take advantage of the weak attack of the Yue army to cooperate with two tank companies to carry out a large-depth assault and deal a heavy blow to the 14th division of the Yue army.

In the end, Zhang Xuewu's eyes fell on the position of the Tiger Gully, compared to the steep slope of almost forty degrees of Seng Guanfeng, and the narrow frontal face, it seems that the Tiger Gully is easier to attack, and once the Tiger Ditch is captured, then the rear side of the Seng Guanfeng will be all exposed, and the army can even use heavy machine guns to block the path to the peak.

Zhang Xuewu made a telephone call to Zhang Tianpeng, the commander of the artillery regiment, and ordered him to concentrate all the firepower of the three artillery groups in the direction of Laohugou, and to be sure to give the arrogant attacking troops a blow to the head and defeat the strong morale of the Yue army.

On the front line of the Laohugou position, the tracer bullets fired by the heavy machine guns were like a chain of fire on the dense offensive formation of the Japanese army, and the normal heavy machine gun bullet chain would only have one tracer bullet every five rounds, but among the many heavy machine guns, there must be a machine gun that uses almost all tracer rounds, this machine gun is called the fire indication machine gun, and the tracer bullets it fires are used for mortars, artillery observers and infantry direct firing in the direction and target.

For example, the bodies of six or seven shooters who fell in the fortifications were mostly shot in the face and chest, and even on such a snowy night, the special shooters of the army could still accurately hit the target through the flames of the machine guns.

The soldiers shouted, stumbling and laboriously launching wave after wave of seemingly endless attacks against the wind and snow, and the howling wind made the sharp weapon grenadier that the army relied on lose its effect, and the army could only rush to a distance of more than ten meters to throw ** heavy grenades.

In the flames of a grenade explosion, the soldiers fell in the snow in pain, the steel helmet and the severed arm of the stump flew up more than ten meters high and fell back to the ground, and the support artillery fire of the army also accurately fell on the forward position of the Chinese defenders!

Rumble! A 75-mm mountain grenade hit a light machine gun bunker, a Czech-made light machine gun turned into parts and scattered aside, the twisted barrel was still wrapped around the intestines of the co-shooter, and the two unrecognizable machine gun shooters turned into mutilated char emitting black smoke.

The artillery bombardment of the Yue army also caused huge casualties to the defenders, but the front line of the defenders was still as steady as Mount Tai with ferocious firepower, and the attack of the Yue army was almost without any interval.

In the barrage of fire fired by the Chinese defenders, the soldiers were constantly being shot and fell to the ground or tumbling and falling like a target, but then someone stepped on the corpse and continued to pounce on it, and the Maximine heavy machine gun, which usually needs to add water to 250 rounds of bullet chains, fired 750 rounds of three bullet chains to add water only once, and the cold snowy night made this big melee disorderly.

There seems to be no end to the army's wave after wave of offensives, Xu Guohui's face in the headquarters of the first regiment is not good-looking, the core position, the left and right flanks have been attacked by the army regardless of priority, the artillery fire of the army and the interception artillery fire of our army are bombarding each other, the abandoned corpses of the army at the front have almost piled up into a bunker, the soldiers of the army are slowly advancing in the corpses of their companions, and the shells that fall from time to time are harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the army, and the corpses are also blown to pieces.

Xu Guohui looked at his watch with a black face in the command headquarters, it has been an hour and a half since the attack of the Yue army, and the forward position has been unable to count how many waves of attacks the Yue army has been defeated, and the Li Yabing battalion in the right flank position has been broken through by the Yue army several times due to the relatively unfavorable terrain, Li Yabing led the pistol platoon to lead the soldiers to counterattack the Yue army several times, it is said that Li Yabing himself was wounded in many places, and the position is still in the hands of the defenders.

Before the war, Xu Guohui had seven reinforced battalions together with the integration of Tang Yulin's troops, and he had already transferred one company from the third and fourth battalions deployed on the second and third lines to strengthen the first battalion of the core position of the first line, and Li Yabing's second battalion was responsible for the right wing and the fifth battalion was responsible for the left flank from the sixth and seventh battalions respectively for reinforcement.

Now that the reserves in Xu Guohui's hands are only six companies plus the regimental guard company, and one-fifth of the reserves are mastered, Zhang Xuewu's entrustment made Xu Guohui hesitate slightly? In the end, Xu Guohui led the reserves of the second company of the sixth battalion to the right flank to reinforce Li Yabing's second battalion with the regimental deputy Sima Qi.

Immediately, Xu Guohui shook the phone handle a few times, but there were all kinds of noise in the headphones!

Xu Guohui frowned, threw away the red and blue pencils in his hand, and instructed the regimental staff officer to go to Ge Weimin: "You answer the call from the division seat, and tell the division seat that I will go to the second and third line positions to inspect the situation, and not a single soldier of the reserve team can move without my order." ”

Without waiting for Ge Weimin to react, Xu Guohui picked up a P18 submachine gun, pulled the bolt to unload with a bang, and muttered as he walked: "Grandma's, the phone lines have been blown up by Lao Tzu, it seems that the little devil is really playing!" Grandma's little brother said that this bastard didn't let Lao Tzu have a good time, and Lao Tzu would take a piece of meat from him when he died. ”

Ge Weimin grabbed Xu Guohui's eyes and glared: "If you want to go to me, as the supreme military commander of this regiment, you dare to leave your post without permission?" ”

Xu Guohui's eyes widened like a bull's eye, and he grabbed the collar of Ge Weimin's coat and shouted: "It's you!" Do you know who has the final say in this new first regiment? Father! It's Lao Tzu who has the final say! ”

Ge Weimin glanced at Xu Guohui and said: "I only know that the new first division is our division seat that has the final say, if you dare to go to the front line, I will call the division seat to stop your command!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Guohui was dumbfounded!

Ge Weimin dragged the submachine gun in Xu Guohui's hand, took off the steel helmet from his head, waved the submachine gun and said, "The guard platoon will follow me!" ”
