Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 297 The surprise attack worked
Before Ye Zhuhan's words fell, Ma Dagui's dagger pierced the heart of the last Japanese soldier, and the abrupt and abrupt screams made the two surrendered devils tremble.
Listening to the fierce gunfire outside the Gongda Yarn Factory, Ye Zhuhan waved his hand and said to the two devils quietly: "Takeshita-kun, riverside-kun, time waits for no one, you can lead the way now."
"But—"
The two Japanese soldiers were about to talk to Ye Zhuhan, but they were pushed by the team members behind, so they had to reluctantly lead the way in front.
Ye Zhuhan beckoned, and the team members picked up their guns and followed. A smile appeared on Ye Zhuhan's face, who was left behind, there are traitors in China, there are traitors in Japan, no matter which country or nation there are heroes who are not afraid of death, but there will also be cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
The farther you go, the more shrill the gunfire becomes.
Due to the previous unexpected changes, Ye Zhuhan figured out that the two regiments of Zhou Juncheng, who were the main attackers, and the supplementary brigade, which were the feints, should have suffered heavy casualties
"I hope Lao Zhou and they don't misunderstand themselves," Ye Zhuhan said secretly in his heart.
Ye Zhuhan was not wrong at all, and Zhou Juncheng's eyes were red at this time.
Under the suppression of the strong fire of the Japanese troops guarding the Gongda Yarn Mill, in a few minutes, the three regiments and one battalion lost a platoon of troops, which was the result of the suppression of eight 150-mm heavy mortars in the rear.
Most of the houses near the Gongda Yarn Factory were destroyed by fierce artillery fire during the days of fighting. Within 500 meters in front of the Gongda Yarn Mill, the officers and men who were on attack had very little cover, and the casualties suddenly increased sharply
Seeing that the attack of the first battalion was blocked, Zhou Juncheng gritted his teeth and quickly sent the second battalion out of the city, but he still couldn't open the situation, and the casualty count expanded rapidly.
Watching the officers and soldiers under his command desperately move forward one by one, and the most reluctantly fell two or three hundred meters away from the enemy, Zhou Juncheng's heart was broken. Almost all of these sacrificed soldiers were brought out by him, and he knew every face well, and most of them could be named.
"Ye Zhuhan of the dog day, if you don't get rid of the devil's artillery and heavy machine gun positions, Lao Tzu will definitely be over with you." Zhou Juncheng was ruthless, turned his head and said to Bai Xiaowang, the commander of the third battalion beside him: "Go, immediately pull your battalion to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu must take the Gongda Yarn Factory today."
Bai Xiaowang hesitated a little and didn't answer immediately.
The third battalion is the only reserve in Zhou Juncheng's hands, and if it is thrown in at this time, if the attack fails, it will be difficult to organize an attack later. Bai Xiaowang frowned, and pointed to the battlefield where the fierce battle was raging: "Tuanzuo, the brothers have suffered such heavy casualties, should you withdraw first, and wait for Section Chief Ye to make trouble on the back of the devil's belly and we will go again?" ”
""
Zhou Juncheng had a cold face and snorted heavily: "The more fierce we fight head-on, the easier it will be for Ye Zhuhan and them to succeed behind enemy lines."
"It's-"
Bai Xiaowang bit Yu Gan's mouth and still didn't move.
As a reserve, the 3rd Regiment and 3rd Battalion were temporarily equipped with some Thomson submachine guns and Czech light machine guns that Wu Ming had obtained from the Eighth Army's quartermaster warehouse, plus their own firepower, which had an absolute advantage in close combat in the face of the Japanese army.
However, now the Japanese army's powerful medium and long-range firepower crocheted by howitzers, infantry guns, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and rifles has overwhelmed our troops.
At this distance, whether it is a submachine gun, a flying mine, or a bazooka, it is not easy to use, and the best way is to use a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun or cannon with a long range for flat fire, but at this time, the eight RR mm PIak36 anti-aircraft guns equipped by the fourth company of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion were all deployed around the Dachang and Zhenru field hospitals, and the remaining 150 mm and 0 mm heavy guns were stranded in the blocking position by the Huangpu River, and they could not be transferred in a short time, which made the three regiments unable to find a place to put their mouths for a while.
Zhou Juncheng glared at the tiger's eyes, and said coldly to Bai Xiaowang: "If your battalion is afraid of death, let Lao Tzu get out of the way, and Lao Tzu will lead the people from the regiment headquarters himself."
Provoked by the regiment commander, the white battalion commander stretched out his hand and threw the steel helmet on his head to the ground, and said fiercely: "There is no bad seed in our three battalions who are afraid of death, Lao Tzu will take people up"
After speaking, Bai Xiaowang rushed out of the wind like a wind.
Zhou Juncheng quietly looked at the figure of the third battalion commander, leaned over and picked up the steel helmet that Bai Xiaowang threw on the ground, patted the dust on it, and then looked ahead, and said in his heart: "Ye Zhuhan, you turtle grandson hurry up."
Bai Xiaowang, the commander of the third battalion, was also a fierce general in Zhou Juncheng's regiment, and the officers and men of the third battalion were all fierce, with fast steps, bending down to avoid Japanese artillery fire, and fan-shaped and unhurriedly plunged straight towards the Japanese position.
Seeing the Chinese army rushing forward without fear of artillery fire, although Oda Shaozuo admired this spirit, he was very contemptuous in his heart.
The second batch of reinforced marines gave priority to replenishing the eastern front, and together with the original strength, a total of more than 1,500 officers and men, plus strong fortifications and powerful artillery fire, Oda Shaoza was sure that these attacking Chinese soldiers would also collapse in the face of the solid defense of the Gongda Yarn Factory.
The Great Japanese Empire will eventually be victorious, and Oda has always believed in this. Seeing the Chinese troops getting closer and closer to their positions on the southern front, Oda turned his head suddenly, brandished his command knife and shouted: "Shibumi Ruo (attack)"
"Bang bang—"
Under Oda's command, the infantry guns and mortars on the Japanese artillery positions opened fire together, and then the 37mm rapid-fire guns of the Type 95 light tanks and the large-caliber machine guns of armored vehicles also joined in.
For a time, Zhou Juncheng's regiment in the attack was shrouded in dense artillery fire, and in the ruins and ruins of billowing smoke, the officers and men prostrate themselves and advanced towards the Japanese position inch by inch. But every shell fired would always take the lives of one or two officers and soldiers.
Leaning on a broken wall, Bai Xiaowang, the commander of the third battalion, gritted his teeth and said to the communicator: "Tell the brothers to move quickly, and they must pass through this death zone as soon as possible, as long as they rush into the Japanese position and mix with the devils, their firepower advantage will not be able to be brought into play."
"Boom-"
At this moment, a shell landed two or three meters in front of it, and as the flames burst up, shrapnel and masonry and rubble flew in all directions, and the broken wall collapsed with a sound
The smoke of gunpowder dispersed with the wind, and the correspondent fell in a pool of blood, motionless. The white battalion commander lay on his stomach in a cloud of bricks and rubble, his military uniform was shattered, and red blood dripped down his forehead.
The guards behind suddenly jumped up and rushed over, helped up the white battalion commander, let the battalion commander lean on his shoulder, and said hurriedly: "Battalion commander, battalion commander, what's wrong with you?" ”
The white battalion commander gritted his teeth hatefully, stuffed the submachine gun in his hand into the guard's hand, pointed the other hand at the Japanese position, and roared angrily: "Quick, tell the brothers, you must pass this death zone as soon as possible"
The guard took the submachine gun, slowly lowered the battalion commander, wiped his tears, and raised his legs to keep up with the advancing troops.
Through the heavy smoke, everything that happened in front of him made Zhou Juncheng's teeth crush. Feeling that something was wrong behind him, he turned around and yelled at the person next to him: "Why didn't the mortar company of the 3rd Artillery Regiment fire?"
The deputy regiment commander, Chi Yuming, had a blue face and said angrily: "The mortar company assigned to us has no shells...... When the 87th Division attacked a few days ago, they basically ran out of stocks, and they haven't received much replenishment until now, and the ammunition has been exhausted by the shelling just now."
"What?"
Zhou Juncheng threw the telescope to the ground, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
Deputy Regiment Commander Chi grabbed Zhou Juncheng and persuaded: "Regiment Commander, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce...... The terrain here can't accommodate so many troops, so let's take the people down first and sort out the offensive formation."
"Nope"
Zhou Juncheng blushed and said: "We must not learn the refueling tactics of the 87th Division, now you lead the machine gun company directly under the regiment to the top, I estimate that Ye Zhuhan and they have reached the most critical time, and they must not give up their efforts."
"It's—okay"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade the regiment commander, Chi Yuming stomped his feet hatefully and rushed out of the headquarters to gather the troops.
The battlefield was steaming with smoke and fire, and the dense barrage was mixed with tracer bullets, which were as brilliant and colorful as a rain of meteors, and the officers and men in the attack fell one by one. As soon as possible, not a single person flinched, and the officers and men still bent over and tried to advance, holding out painfully......
At this time, Ye Zhuhan in the Gongda Yarn Factory had successfully dropped the Japanese sentry posts along the way, seized a large number of grenades, and some weapons and equipment, and rushed to the front position of the devil with people.
Ye Zhuhan pointed ahead: "Everyone sees, although our officers and soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, they are still insisting on fighting, and now it's up to us."
The team members nodded silently, but their eyes were more determined and their expressions more determined.
Ye Zhuhan was relieved, and called Ma Dagui to order: "Dagui, you take a detachment to destroy the Japanese artillery position, Lao Zhou, you take the second detachment to destroy the devil's tanks and armored vehicles, I will personally lead people to destroy the heavy machine gun position, and then we will attack the main position of the Japanese army together."
Ma Dagui, deputy company commander of the special company, and Lao Zhou, the leader of the demolition team, nodded, turned around and led people away.
Ye Zhuhan watched the situation on Ma Dagui and Lao Zhou's side, and saw that they were smoothly approaching the target, so with a wave of his hand, he took the remaining officers and soldiers down the mountain like tigers and rushed towards the Japanese heavy machine gun position.
"Boom-"
Violent explosions rang out one after another, and Oda Shaosa, who was in the command post, rushed to the side and rear lookouts in surprise to check the source of the explosions, and almost jumped up, only to see six Japanese sailors throwing grenades at the artillery position.
The explosion sounded violently, and the fireballs exploded so that the unsuspecting devil artillerymen flipped on their backs, even if they were lucky enough to dodge one round of grenades, but there were still second and third rounds of grenades falling one after another. As the smoke passed, six Japanese sailors armed with crooked machine guns rushed towards the artillery position, only to greet those who were still moving.
Before Oda Shaozuo could react, a more violent explosion was heard on the other side.
Oda Shaoza rushed to another lookout, only to see a tank somehow emitting black smoke, and almost at the same time, a bundle of grenades was sent under the belly of another Type 95 light tank that was trying to turn, "boom-", another explosion was heard, and with the smoke and flames, the tank did not move.
Not far behind the tank, six men in sailor uniforms, armed with cluster grenades, continued to throw them at the armored vehicles in front......
"Baga"
Oda Shaosa was furious, jumped up and shouted to the herald next to him: "We have been deceived quickly, order the machine gunner to turn the muzzle of the gun and kill all the troublemakers"
However, Oda Shaozuo's reaction was obviously late, at this time Ye Zhuhan had already led someone to quietly touch it from the rear, Ye Zhuhan personally put on the flamethrower, he turned on the fuel switch, stretched out the nozzle in front of him, pinched the button, and suddenly a fire dragon shot out, and the Japanese heavy machine gun position suddenly fell into a sea of fire,
The Japanese soldiers suddenly burst into flames, and they hurriedly threw away their burning weapons and threw themselves around, but unexpectedly, the flames were like maggots on tarsal bones, burning more and more.
Oda Shaozuo, who had just rushed out of the command post, was also surrounded by fire, but he did not fall to the ground and roll to extinguish the fire, but rushed towards Ye Zhuhan with a body of flames, wanting to die together. Ye Zhuhan snorted coldly, and the sound of the machine gun shooting from the crooked handle next to him came, directly beating Oda Shaozuo into a sieve.
Oda Shaozuo, who was covered in fire, fell to the ground and convulsed twice, and died instantly.
Subsequently, a surprise attack team composed of officers and men of the Japanese Special Company and the Special Service Company rushed towards the main Japanese position, and with a distance of twenty or thirty meters, they threw a rain of grenades with a "whoosh" effect, which immediately blew up the devils into darkness.
The officers and soldiers held their guns and rushed towards the Japanese position, so that those devil soldiers who were facing their backs were overwhelmed, and the entire Japanese defense line was in chaos......
Through the telescope that was almost broken, Zhou Juncheng saw that Ye Zhuhan's surprise attack had finally worked, let out a long breath, and hurriedly shouted to the messenger beside him: "Blow the trumpet and charge the whole regiment"
