Chapter 803: The Battle for the Beachhead of the Battle of Crossing the River
The beachhead battle of the battle of crossing the river "What, you said that our river-crossing troops have become the "corpse collection team" of the little devils. The entire beachhead, more than 1,000 Japanese troops, in the shelling just now, were not spared, and all of them were torn to pieces by shells, how could it be "Commander Wang Ping, who heard the report of the chief of staff in front of him, also did not know much about the specific power produced by the rocket artillery cluster fire. On a face, there was also a look of shock and incomprehension at the first time.
"Commander, I didn't believe this news at first, but after repeated confirmations, I believed this fact. In the end, after some understanding, it became clear that the reason why our artillery was able to produce such good results was all due to the rocket artillery regiment of the artillery column," replied the chief of staff.
"There really is no xiangdao, the rocket artillery regiment has such great power. It seems that I, Wang Ping, still underestimated Lao Chen's artillery column. Well, the artillery column went out, and the effect was really different. Since the 1st Bō Offensive Force easily occupied the Japanese beachhead without spending a single soldier, we could not live up to the intentions of the artillery column. After some emotion, Wang Ping's face was also shrouded in jī moving spiritsè.
"Chief of Staff, immediately give an order to the 1st Bō River Crossing Force, that is, Division Commander Bai Zhiwen, asking him to hold the beachhead for me and block a possible counterattack by the Japanese army. At the same time, he ordered all the ferries to return immediately and prepare to take the second bō river crossing force to cross the Yangtze River in front of him. As long as we have gathered enough troops on the other side, we can take the initiative to attack Zhenjiang and disrupt the ......deployment of the Japanese army," Wang Ping ordered decisively.
"Yes, Commander Xi............" "Wait a minute, I forgot to tell you one thing, immediately report the good news of my river-crossing troops successfully occupying the Japanese beachhead to the former enemy command, and tell the chief of staff the good news" The departments of the East China Field Army, after a short shock, immediately came out of surprise at the news that the first bō river-crossing troops had easily occupied the Japanese beachhead. At the same time, the whole army is also full of expectations for the future of this river-crossing campaign.
Of course, there are happy and unhappy. At the time when the troops crossing the river, under the command of Division Commander Bai Zhiwen, were on the beachhead of a ruin, seizing the time to build improvised fortifications. The headquarters of the Japanese division in Zhenjiang City was shrouded in a somber atmosphere.
"Can anyone tell me why this is. On the entire beachhead, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army were wiped out by the artillery fire of China without firing a single bullet" Thinking about the concrete content of the telegram in his hand, the division commander couldn't help but tremble when he held the telegram's hands tightly. Facing the group of combat staff officers in front of him who were always inactive in his eyes, he asked loudly.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the report of the reconnaissance unit of my front-line position. During the shelling that had just lasted for half an hour, our beachhead was suddenly attacked by an unknown artillery. Because of this artillery fire, it came too suddenly and the density of the shelling was too great. After just one round of artillery fire, the entire beachhead was enveloped in a sea of fire. Therefore, it is assumed that a reinforced brigade stationed at the beachhead was lost in this round of unknown artillery fire...... "the chief of staff is small."
Voice.
"The bastard's cunning Shina man has used an unknown secret weapon. Contact the Intelligence Bureau immediately, and be sure to find out what kind of artillery is the secret artillery of the people in the shortest possible time. More than 1,000 soldiers of the Yellow Army in a reinforced brigade can't be sacrificed in vain, I must let the people of China pay the price of blood," the division commander ordered with a murderous face.
"Ha Yi" faced the fierce division commander in front of him, and the chief of staff did not dare to hesitate, and replied very decisively.
Then, after a moment's notice, he asked.
"However, Your Excellency Division Commander, at present the entire beachhead Yijing is in the hands of the Chinese people.
According to the Air Force's reconnaissance, the ferry carrying the Zhicui people is returning to prepare for the second Bō river crossing unit...... What should we do next? ”
"Recapture the beachhead and wipe out the Chinese troops who crossed the river in Yijing. No matter what, we can't let the cunning people lay such a nail on the riverside......" The division commander replied with a resolute face.
Immediately, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he continued to order: "Chief of staff, immediately issue the latest combat order to the reserve unit. Ordered to stock up on infantry wings and immediately make a sortie. ,
In any case, it is necessary to recapture the beachhead from the Chinese and eliminate the Chinese who crossed the river in Yijing.
They must not be allowed to occupy this river crossing point............"
"Ha Yi, I'm going to give an order right away...... "...
On the beachhead of the former Japanese army, thousands of commanders and fighters were sweating profusely waving the sappers in their hands, building trenches on the small position, preparing to meet the possible counterattack of the Japanese army.
"Brothers, just now because of the merits of the artillery, our infantry took advantage of it, and it was easy to occupy the Japanese beachhead without a single shot. Danshi, here, I can tell you with certainty that in the next half hour, we will have the fiercest counterattack of the Japanese army. So, in order to be able to live longer in the next battle, I worked harder, digging my trenches as deep as possible and building them stronger... Machine gun group, remember to build a few more machine gun positions and fight a ...... Changing positions looked around, because of the continuous assault and digging trenches. The speed is invisible, and the subordinates who are slowly slowing down, the platoon commander Wen Changfeng opened his mouth to remind.
"Yes, the platoon commander" personally experienced the hellish battlefield after being hit by the artillery unit under his feet, just like the soldiers who had passed by death. After listening to the platoon commander's words, without the slightest hesitation, he once again accelerated his excavation speed, but the good times did not last long. Just when a simple trench had just been dug waist-deep. Directly in front of the position, the sound of gunfire from the observation post suddenly sounded.
"*** little devil, don't let people live. If we can come ten minutes late, our trench will be formed. Brothers, since the little devils don't give me time, let's let them know that without the cover of the trenches, the bullets in our hands can also kill them. All of them have to immediately conceal and prepare for battle" quickly threw down the sapper in his hand, and the commander of the platoon who was placed on the front line ordered very decisively.
In an instant, it was still a busy position, and immediately fell into a deathly silence. All the fighters were lying quietly in the trenches, raising their weapons in their hands. A pair of eyes, accompanied by the muzzle of the gun, stared motionlessly in front of him.
At the same time, the Bō wave attack formation formed by two infantry squadrons of the Japanese 1st Bō Assault Force also appeared in the soldiers' field of vision under the cover of heavy machine guns and grenadiers.
"*** little devil, you really look up to us. The first attack mobilized a whole two infantry squadron brothers, all of whom aimed at me, without my order, anyone, it is forbidden to fire in advance "......" Looking at the hundreds of little devils who were advancing towards their positions, Wen Changfeng's face immediately flashed with a look of worry. However, as the platoon commander, he still ordered with a serious face to the subordinates around him......,
In the blink of an eye, the little devils lined up in a dense offensive formation appeared less than fifty meters away from the position. As the platoon commander, Wen Changfeng also mercilessly pulled the trigger of the crooked light machine gun in his hand.
In an instant, a dense stream of bullets, like raindrops, shot head-on at the Japanese army. And the dozens of devil soldiers who were charging at the forefront were also shot several times in the first time and fell in a pool of blood.
However, the Japanese troops on the opposite side were not vegetarians after all, after being hit suddenly and losing dozens of people. Immediately, the well-trained lying on the ground began to suppress the fire, and for a while, a dense number of heavy machine gun bullets, rain-like grenades, and accurate rifle bullets fired at the soldiers' positions. The dozens of fighters who were still imposing just now, after paying nearly half of the casualties in a short period of time, were immediately overwhelmed and unable to lift their heads, and the elite Japanese attacking troops on the opposite side suddenly became sparse when they saw the firepower fired at them. Immediately jumped up from the ground and continued to attack............
"*** little devil, didn't my Wen Changfeng die on the battlefield of Songhu back then, but today, do you have to lose in the battle of the counteroffensive" Looking at the trenches getting closer and closer, even the faces of the little devils can clearly see the Japanese position. Wen Changfeng was long, and immediately lù a trace of despair......
However, it backfired, and at this moment, a sharp whistling sound reached his ears very quickly. After entering the bloody battle of Songhu, he immediately realized the target of the shell, which was directly in front of his position. With a look of surprise on his face, he didn't have time to react, so he yelled loudly at the surviving subordinates around him. "Brothers, it's shelling, get down quickly, lie down immediately" ...... "As soon as the words fell, a dense explosion of shells reached his ears.
Feeling the scorching waves coming from overhead, even he, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, felt a burst of surprise at the bombardment that was all within reach.
However, while being shocked by the lethality of the artillery fire, what puzzled the platoon commander Wen Changfeng was that the artillery fire that was close at hand came and went in time. The rumbling of cannons, after less than fifteen seconds, completely ended............
Driven by curiosity, the platoon leader of Wen Changfeng slowly raised his head and looked directly in front of the position.
In an instant, a feeling of vomiting immediately came to my heart. Because, in front of the position,
Under the light of piles of bonfires that have not yet burned out, on the ground red with blood, pieces of minced meat, internal organs, stumps and broken arms, in a word, dozens of minutes ago, the scene under his feet appeared in front of him again.
"***, it's the rocket artillery regiment again. However, if you blow it up well, you should use such a means to deal with the little devils, and blow up their bones to nothing. A squad leader, immediately count the casualties, let the living brothers see, this is the fate of the little devil" After a short shock, driven by hatred for the Japanese army, a sense of comfort immediately surged into the heart of the platoon commander Wen Changfeng.
Then, to the squad leader next to him, who was also immersed in shock, he ordered loudly.!.
