Zhou Zhai, the headquarters of the 44th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army.

From dawn to now, He Zhiying II has been staying on the roof of the headquarters and has not gone down, even without the help of telescopes, he can clearly see with the naked eye that the positions of the national army in front of Wudoujing and the Western Line Bridge have been blown into a sea of fire, and even from a distance of several kilometers, he can feel the shaking of the ground under his feet.

It is completely conceivable what the positions of the national army in Wudoujing and the Western Front Bridge have been bombed, imagining the miserable appearance of the national army being blown up to flesh and blood, and Zhiying Er can't help but show a vicious smile on his face, Yo Xi, after seeing the power of the heavy howitzers of the Great Japanese Empire, I don't know how much fighting spirit the Chinese can have?

I took out my pocket watch and looked at the time, the hour hand could point to nine o'clock, the 11th Wing of Mountain Artillery and the 10th Wing of Independent Heavy Artillery had been shelling the positions of the national army for nearly an hour, and the poor fortifications built by the Chinese army in a hurry had already been destroyed, and the personnel were only afraid that they were also suffering heavy casualties, right?

He Zhiying II believes that the national army in Wudoujing and the West Line Bridge no longer has much combat effectiveness.

However, even so, He Zhiying II still decided to invest enough troops, in addition to the 3rd Infantry Brigade that was replenished with troops, He Zhiying II also transferred the 1st Infantry Brigade of Takahashi, and there was also a chariot squad to attack a small Wudoujing with such a strong force, which was called Lion Botu.

He Zhiying II did not want to leave any room for resistance to the national army.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi went up to the roof again and reported to Kazuchi Takaji, "Wing Commander, Kondo Brigade and Takahashi Brigade have entered the attack position, and the 1st Tank Squad is also ready. ”

He Zhiying Er just nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Wing Commander, the division headquarters just called, saying that the location of the Gu family house is very important, and the branch army occupies the Gu family house, so it can directly threaten the communication line between Luodian and the Lion Forest, and even threaten the Lion Forest advance base if you go one step forward, so you must recapture the ...... before it gets dark."

He Zhiying Er frowned, and said impatiently: "Call back to the division and regimental headquarters, and say that the family house will be seized before noon, and the empire's Rising Sun Banner will definitely be planted on the head of Jiading City before dark!" ”

Gu Jiazhai, the temporary headquarters of the 306th Regiment.

Qiu Weida was very wise not to set up his headquarters in the compound at the entrance of the village, although the Japanese artillery bombardment focused on Wudoujing and the West Line Bridge, but the sporadic shells that fell on the Gu family house still blew up the entire Gu family house into a sea of fire, and the compound at the entrance of the village was even more heavily shelled and had already been reduced to ruins.

If Qiu Weida really set up his headquarters in that compound, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Qiu Weida raised his head, looked at the squeaky and screaming shells flying overhead, and said to Xu Shijiu without self-deprecation: "Fortunately, the sky is beautiful today, and there is a strong wind off the coast of Wusong, otherwise in addition to large-caliber heavy artillery and naval artillery groups, we will have to be bombed by the small Japanese air force, then there is really no way to survive." ”

Xu Shijiu said: "Judging from the momentum of the explosion, in addition to the 75mm caliber mountain artillery, it seems that there are 150mm caliber heavy howitzers in small Japan, if I am not mistaken, Matsui Shigen, the old devil, has turned the focus of the operation to the side of Luodian, that is to say, I am afraid that there will be tank troops in the follow-up attack." ”

"Tank?!" Qiu Weida was shocked when he heard this, if little Japan really wants to throw into a tank attack, then the 1st and 2nd battalions will be in big trouble, and the flesh and blood will not be able to stop the ironclad chariot no matter what, although the 51st Division also has a divisional combat defense artillery company, but this will most likely still be on the train, who knows when it will arrive?

Xu Shijiu said: "Although this is just speculation, it must be guarded against. ”

Qiu Weida nodded and said heavily: "You're right, you can't take any chances in a war, we must prepare for the worst, Captain Xu has a good way to deal with the Japanese tanks?" ”

Xu 19 said: "Of course, the most effective weapon against tanks is the war defense artillery, but unfortunately we don't have it, except for the war defense artillery, then we can only dig anti-tank trenches and lay anti-tank mines." ”

Qiu Weida said: "Anti-tank trench? Anti-tank mines? ”

Qiu Weida couldn't help but be a little impressed by Xu Shijiu, although this guy had never attended the Whampoa Military Academy, the military terms that could come out of his mouth made him, a high-achieving student in Whampoa, stunned, but Qiu Weida didn't know that although Xu Shijiu had never attended the Whampoa Military Academy, he had read a lot of Chinese and foreign military works.

Qiu Weida couldn't help but be interested, and said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain Xu, let's talk about how to dig the anti-tank trench specifically, and what about the anti-tank mine?" ”

Xu Shijiu said: "Time is very tight, and it is no longer possible to dig anti-tank trenches on a large scale, but we can still use camouflage to enhance the effect, as for anti-tank mines, didn't the 306th Regiment of Wudoujing take hundreds of shells?" Allow sappers to convert these hundreds of shells into serial mines. ”

Qiu Weida slapped the table and shouted, "Adjutant Zhang! ”

Adjutant Zhang walked into the regiment headquarters in response, stood up and said, "Yes!" ”

Qiu Weida said: "Order the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion to nail me to the Wudoujing and Western Line Bridge, without my order, I will never be allowed to take half a step back, and then call the platoon commander Liu of the engineer platoon to me, go quickly." ”

"Yes!" Adjutant Zhang snapped a military salute and turned to go.

The Japanese artillery bombardment finally stopped, Liu Zhenwu raised his head that was stunned and shook it vigorously, and then threw off the smoke and dust on the ground, ignoring the humming sound of the cannon sound echoing in his ears, Liu Zhenwu jumped up at once, and shouted hysterically again while pulling his legs and running towards the position: "Return to the position quickly, little Japan is going to attack......

The officers and men of the 1st Battalion, who were hiding in the reeds, cotton fields, and small bamboo forests, also got up one after another, quickly returned to their positions under the cover of gunsmoke, then checked their guns and ammunition, pulled the bolts of their guns one after another, and then unscrewed the caps of the grenades, and then pulled out the fuses and placed them on the edge of the trenches.

The wind blew, and the smoke and dust on the position were lighter, but the smell of gunpowder was still very choking.

Liu Zhenwu covered his nose and coughed lightly twice, then raised the telescope and looked around, there were already black things in the left field of vision, but he couldn't see it clearly, Liu Zhenwu rubbed his eyes and then looked closely, a heart suddenly sank down, and what appeared in the telescope field of vision was actually four Japanese tanks!

These four Japanese tanks did not come from the north bank of Wudoujing, but came from Luodian, so they could be directly crushed to the position of the 1st Battalion without any hindrance.

Almost at the same time, Japanese troops also appeared in the direction of the north bank of Wudoujing.

The expression on Liu Zhenwu's face was still indifferent, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart, little Japan really looked down on him, he invested such a huge force for a small Wudoujing, and there are four Iron King Eight, it seems that most of them are going to be explained here today, but the poor baby is only three months old, but he is about to have no father, alas......

The 1st and 2nd companies in front of them quickly engaged the Japanese army.

The 1st Company only had to deal with the attack of the Japanese infantry, and the situation was good, but the 2nd Company quickly fell into a bitter battle, and the 4 light and heavy machine guns of the 2nd Company plus the captured two crooked machine guns, the bullets hit the Japanese tanks like splashing water, and the Japanese tanks clanged, but they could not stop the advance of the Japanese tanks at all.

At a distance of five hundred meters, Japanese tanks began to fire fiercely, four tanks, four vehicles 7. The 7mm caliber forward-firing machine guns opened fire at the same time, so that the officers and men of the two companies could not lift their heads, and the four 37mm caliber main guns were even more ferocious, almost one out of every two shells hit, and the tank crews of the little Japanese were indeed well-trained.

In less than a few moments, all six machine guns of the 2nd Company were out of service.

It can't go on like this, the commander of the 2nd company put a steel helmet on the top of the box cannon, gritted the back of his teeth and shouted: "1 platoon commander, send a few people to Lao Tzu to blow up these dog-day Iron King Ba!" ”

The 1st platoon commander gasped, turned his head and roared: "Platoon, up!" ”

The three platoons jumped out of the trench with bundles of grenades, and then under the cover of the trench between the cotton fields, the Japanese tanks rumbling forward quickly approached, but the little Japanese were not blind, let alone foolish, and the three platoons were soon blocked by the fire of the Japanese covering infantry.

The four front-firing machine guns on the Japanese tanks also turned their muzzles and fired wildly at the trench.

The three platoons finally failed to break through the Japanese fire blockade, two fell fifty meters away, and one of the platoons also fell twenty meters away from the Japanese tanks, and failed.

The 1st platoon commander took off his steel helmet and threw himself on the ground with hatred, turned his head again and roared: "Grenade!" ”

"Platoon commander, I'll go!" An old soldier untied eight grenades from his waist and wrapped them around his leggings and hung them around his neck, and then a fish jumped into the ditch, and after crawling fifty meters, the old soldier picked up the corpse of a vanguard soldier with tears in his eyes, and then used the corpse of the leader of the platoon as a meat shield and rushed forward at full speed.

The forward-firing machine guns on the Japanese tanks, the light and heavy machine guns covering the infantry, and the grenadier canisters turned one after another, and bullets of various calibers splashed on the corpse of the vanguard soldier like water.

"Damn it!" The 1st platoon commander punched the ground hatefully, and then turned his head and yelled, "Listen up, everyone go up together, and fight with the little Japan of the dog day!" ”

With that, the 1st platoon commander jumped out of the trench with a bundle of grenades.

Seeing that the platoon commanders were all on the line, the remaining dozen veterans of the 1st platoon were all red-eyed, and they all rushed out of the trench with a bundle of haode grenades, and launched a decisive charge towards the Japanese tanks in front......

In the face of the Japanese tanks, although the decisive charge of the national army was very tragic, the end was very tragic, under the blow of the Japanese tank main gun, front-firing machine guns and covering infantry, more than a dozen veterans were quickly killed and wounded, but the Japanese tanks were unscathed.
