Chapter 1057: Weixian Siege (3)
Under the expectant gaze of the remnants of the devils, the Japanese artillery shells pierced the sky and roared down towards the Longya Butan Coordinated Attacking Force, which was already gradually approaching the Japanese position.
Suddenly, a ball of fire rose to the ground, and the roaring explosion rang out, only to see some shells directly smashed on several No. 4 tank fighting vehicles, and the dragon's tooth infantry around the tank dodged one after another, and at the same time accelerated their pace and rushed forward.
At this time, only by speeding up the advance and reaching the Japanese positions as much as possible could we avoid being attacked by Japanese artillery again, and the veterans with rich combat experience understood this. Therefore, as soon as the devil's shell fell, the soldiers did not panic, but dodged the shell while ducking their waists, and at the same time quickly passed their own tanks and combat vehicles and accelerated towards the front.
The remnants of the devil shot on one side, trying to charge their own dragon tooth infantry, but on the other hand, they set their eyes on the dragon tooth tank chariot that was being bombarded by their own shells, and the infantry they could still desperately block, and those huge steel beasts, if the shells could not destroy them, it would be difficult to stop them alone, the infantry equipped with individual weapons but lacking anti-tank weapons.
Therefore, the devil also knows that the tanks and chariots of the Dragon's Tooth Column pose a huge threat to them, and they must be killed and repelled before this field defense battle can continue, otherwise no matter how many troops are invested, it will be in vain!
However, as the smoke cleared, the devil soldiers found in despair that the tanks that had been hit by the shells were unscathed, at most, the armor in front was slightly dented, and they continued to move forward one by one, while the tank guns and machine guns on the vehicles opened fire one after another.
One shell after another pierced the air, and with dazzling flames, it slammed into the Japanese position, blowing up the devil to cry dad and mother!
"Bastard, our shells can't even destroy the tanks of the China!"
"Damn, the people of China are approaching again, are they going to be unable to hold the position!?" The devil soldiers were terrified, and one by one they let out all kinds of frightened screams.
At the same time, the artillery regiment directly under the division headquarters, which was responsible for covering the charge of the attacking troops, also received the request of the attacking troops, adjusted the firing angle, and opened heavy fire on the approximate area where the Japanese artillery positions were located.
For a while, the shells of both sides flew back and forth in the air, almost crossing, and soon, clusters of scarlet flames rose around the devil's artillery position, and the deafening explosion also resounded in all directions.
Threatened by artillery bombardment, the devil's only artillery was timid, and immediately stopped the shelling of the attacking troops of the dragon's tooth and began to transfer the artillery position.
Without the threat of artillery fire from the devils, the pressure on the attacking troops of the three regiments was greatly reduced, and all kinds of firepower began to pour down intensively towards the Japanese troops.
The pressure on the Japanese suddenly increased, and as the tanks continued to approach, hundreds of general-purpose machine guns formed an effective fire suppression network, suppressing the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in the dilapidated fortified trenches, and they could not even lift their heads.
"Rush!" The soldiers rushed forward bravely and rushed to the periphery of the Japanese position, at this time, some devils threw a wave of grenades, causing a lot of casualties to the attacking troops of the third regiment.
However, the grenadiers and bombardiers who followed up threw grenades and grenades one after another, blood for blood, tooth for tooth, boom, and the devil's position was bombarded with more grenades, and it suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
The soldiers took the opportunity to rush over with their guns, stood outside the Japanese trench and fired fiercely at the remnants of the Japanese army inside, and soon wiped out all the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in the trenches on the front line of the devils, and the attacking troops crossed the devil's trenches and continued to attack in depth of their positions.
The tanks and fighting vehicles also rumbled forward, crossing the Japanese trenches one after another, following the covering infantry charge.
In the city of Weixian, the headquarters of the Japanese army.
Major General Devil was anxiously waiting for news from the front line, when suddenly the phone rang rapidly, and an operational staff officer beside him immediately walked over to answer the phone and said a few words, and Major General Devil found that the staff officer's face had changed.
Before he hung up the phone, Major General Devil stepped forward and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
"Your Excellency, our outer defense line in the west of the city has been broken through by the Chinese army, and the tanks of the Chinese have driven into our position, and our position is about to be lost." The operational staff officer replied like a mournful examiner.
"Yaga!" Hearing this, the furious devil major general raised his foot and kicked the combat staff officer to the ground, and suddenly pulled out his general's sword, and the sharp saber made a sonorous metal grinding sound.
The blade was unsheathed, and the devil major general held his saber and slashed in his command room, and let out an angry roar while chopping back, which frightened the combat staff officer who had just gotten up, and hurriedly hid to the side, for fear that His Excellency the major general would accidentally behead himself.
Soon, the devil's command headquarters was in a mess, and the devil's major general was a little out of breath, turned his head and glanced at the combat staff officer who was standing on thin ice, and said in a cold voice: "Order the reserve troops, immediately enter the battle, and recapture the lost positions at all costs, and we must not let the Chinese army capture our peripheral positions so easily."
Otherwise, Weixian would not have lasted long at all. ”
"Hay!" The devil's combat staff officer hurriedly replied, he was frightened, although reason told him that the investment of reserves may not be able to turn the tide of the battle, but he didn't dare to say a word at this time, otherwise the major general might really cut him down with a knife, and it would be a tragedy.
Just as the devil staff officer wanted to turn around and leave, the Japanese major general put away his saber and stopped him again: "Send a telegram to Qingdao and ask for aviation support, our artillery can't stand the man's tank, and the aerial bombs are always okay, right?" ”
"Hay!" The devil staff officer slammed his head again, and immediately turned around and strode away.
In fact, there was no need for the Japanese troops in Weixian to ask for help, and in order to stabilize the battle line and make the Longya Column attacking Linyi form a situation of being alone in depth, Ishihara Guaner had already urgently telegraphed the aviation of his navy's combined fleet to quickly take off and rush to the aid of the Weixian battlefield, which was fighting fiercely.
Therefore, before the devil's combat staff officer arrived at the confidential room with the order of the Japanese major general, a communications staff officer inside ran out in a hurry and asked: "Ono-kun, is His Excellency the General here?" ”
The devil staff officer named Ono was still a little frightened, and he forgot to answer for a while, and the communications staff officer fortunately bypassed him when he saw this, and went straight to the headquarters office of the devil major general.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps coming from far and near, Major General Devil thought it was his combat staff officer who had gone and returned, and immediately shouted without raising his head: "Ono-kun, did you convey my order so quickly?" ”
The communications staff officer who came to report the news was obviously stunned, and then he lowered his feet and saluted: "Your Excellency, I am a second lieutenant instigated by Chuan Jing, a staff officer of the confidential office, and I have just received an exciting news that our air reinforcements have arrived, and they have just made contact with us by radio. ”
