Chapter 117: The Battle of Jinan (2)
,
It was late, but it didn't break its promise!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Under the continuous fire of the opponent and the heavy fire attack, the fourth battalion suffered casualties for the first time! Although the artillery fire of the Northern Expeditionary Army just now did not cause any casualties, it did destroy part of the fortifications laid by the fourth battalion in Zhonggong Town. It was those who had lost the benefit of the fortifications that suffered a certain amount of damage under the onslaught of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Despite this, the Northern Expeditionary Army has not broken through the defense of the fourth battalion so far. They were held back in the outer position of the first layer and could not move!
"Rush to Lao Tzu~~" A company commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army stood up angrily, holding a shell gun, "Smack!" Syllable! Syllable! Just a few shots, and then rushed towards the position of the four battalions in front!
"Kill, !!" Behind him, hundreds of people rushed towards him, and at this time they were met with direct strafing fire from the heavy machine guns under the command of Qi Muden in the forward position! The company commander dodged and hid in a bomb crater next to him, but the soldiers behind him were screamed and torn to pieces by heavy machine guns! Fell to the ground like rags......
For a moment, all around the position was sprinkled with blood, internal organs, broken corpses, and even half of the severed head...... The company commander who had dodged the heavy machine gun had red eyes when he saw this! "Wow~~" grabbed the guns of the dead soldiers and charged again!
And he was accompanied by more than 100 soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who had escaped heavy machine gun fire, and they also charged with him! "Bang! Bang......" The soldiers behind also shot to cover them, and the heavy machine guns of the Northern Expeditionary Army behind also discovered this small team that was charging, and immediately turned around the heavy firepower "Sudden ......" strafing suppressed the heavy machine guns on the position of the fourth battalion for fire support!
In the process of the company commander's charge, the soldiers around him were constantly swept down by machine guns or rifles! But they still insisted on rushing to about fifty meters in front of the position of Zhonggong Town! And as they charged, the troops behind also kept following up! It looks like it's about to break through the defense line of the fourth battalion!
At this time! Dozens of flower machine guns stretched out from the position of the fourth battalion! The Northern Expeditionary Army, which was charging fifty meters away, opened fire!
"Da da da ......" For a while, the gunfire of the flower machine rang out! These three are all division commanders under his command, and they are also the main force attacking Zhonggong Town, how can he not angrily arrest several division commanders and scold them?!
"Are you rubbish?! Is it an idiot?! Even if this is, tens of thousands of waste idiots can always gnaw on this little Zhonggong Town, right?! You're good! The commander-in-chief gave artillery support, and the three divisions charged together and fought for several hours, and they were suppressed fifty meters in front of the position!! What kind of bullshit are you guys fighting?! It's all special to give Lao Tzu home to nurse the child!! ”
Jiang Dingwen, commander of the First Division, Xu Tingyao, commander of the Second Division, and Hu Zongnan, commander of the 22nd Division, were scolded by Liu Zhi but did not dare to say a word. You must know that since the Second Northern Expedition, this is the first time that they have fought under the cover of artillery. Originally, everyone was full of confidence, but when they rushed up, they found that they were even more murderous than them!
Hundreds of artillery shells bombarded for nearly an hour! As a result, the other party was still able to grasp the light and heavy firepower vigorously, and directly slapped the Northern Expeditionary Army! It was easy to rush to the front of the position fifty meters, but the people directly blocked the support route with heavy firepower, and swept their front troops with grenades and flower machines.
The battle was fought like this, and you said that several division commanders of the First Army were not depressed, but that is a lie. But if you can't attack it, you can't attack it! The whole division forced its charge several times, but it was knocked down, and as the sky grew brighter, the enemy's sharpshooters began to wield their might! Almost the company and platoon-level commanders in the front can knock you over as long as they go up to command the charge! At the worst time, the heavy machine gunner, the heavy machine gunner was continuously killed by the opponent's sharpshooter, and now almost no one dared to play with the heavy machine gun. This led to the direct loss of heavy firepower support for the troops, and they were overwhelmed by the enemy's heavy firepower.
"Report! The commander-in-chief of the headquarters has an order! At this moment, there was a report outside the door. Liu Zhi was stunned when he heard the shouting, and then said, "Come in!" ”
"Yes!" The door was opened, and a herald walked in solemnly, took out a piece of letterhead, and read aloud: "Zhonggong Town is only a town within a radius of several miles!" The First Army Corps was not defeated for a long time under the cover of our artillery fire! It shouldn't be! So, whatever the reason, whatever the reason! Before dawn, the town of Nakanomiya must be restored!! Otherwise! All the generals of the 1st Army Corps are engaged in military law!! This order: Commander-in-Chief of the First Group Army of Guo Min's Revolutionary Army: Jiang Zhongzheng! ”
