Chapter 427: Interlocking
Next, the Japanese 8th Brigade organized another attack, this time the attack was different, Major General Aoki only dispatched two squadrons of troops, and just after being blocked by the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, he quickly retreated, without any entanglement.
Looking at the ghost soldiers who seemed to be panicked and retreated, Zhao Youde, the deputy commander of the third battalion, said suspiciously: "Regiment commander, what the hell are the devils doing?" So unbeaten? ”
Qiao Youhua frowned and muttered for a moment: "It's not that you don't want to fight, the devil is testing our position and providing accurate coordinates for their artillery units!." ”
Wu Ming nodded and said: "That's right, the devils know how to attack, and they can't break through our resistance in a short time, artillery fire is the best way for them to quickly and severely damage and defeat us!" ”
"So what do we do?" Liu Xiaohai asked.
"There is no news from the political commissar's side, which means that the position has not been built yet, and we must hold on for a while longer, and everyone will disperse and hide in case of devil shelling!" Qiao Youhua said.
"Dragon King, I think most of them have temporarily retreated, leaving only a small group of elite troops, equipped with automatic firearms such as machine guns and submachine guns as much as possible, in case the devils take the opportunity to raid. We have too many people, we don't have perfect trench fortifications, and if we stay and are shelled by devils, heavy casualties will be inevitable. Wu Mingjian said.
"It's okay, I'll stay with the reconnaissance company, and you take the three battalions to withdraw!" Qiao Youhua nodded.
"What are you kidding, you are the head of the regiment, you want to put yourself in danger, go back to Political Commissar Guo and Sister-in-law Ruhan must not peel my skin, and Sister-in-law Yu'er, when I came down from the mountain, I was told to take care of you more!" Wu Ming said with a smile.
"Go, when is it, and you're still poor and make fun of me." Qiao Youhua glared at him angrily.
Wu Ming said: "Just leave my guard platoon and reconnaissance company behind, you take everyone to retreat one kilometer, and when the devil's shelling is over, the gunshots are sounding here, just bring people to reinforcements, don't fight with me for this, you are the most important thing to coordinate the overall situation!" Fight and kill, just leave it to our group of assault soldiers! ”
Seeing this, Qiao Youhua no longer insisted, Qiao Youhua had absolute trust in his old subordinates, patted Wu Ming and Liu Xiaohai on the shoulders, and quietly retreated with Zhao Youde with more than 1,000 soldiers from the third battalion.
As soon as they withdrew, Wu Ming and Liu Xiaohai didn't have time to let the soldiers disperse to find their best cover, and the first round of artillery bombardment of the devils came as scheduled.
Wu Ming and the soldiers fell down one after another to avoid the explosions that rang out one after another.
However, two soldiers of the 3rd Battalion Guard Platoon were unfortunately hit by shrapnel from the explosion, one of them died on the spot, and the other was wounded in the leg and bleeding.
Wu Ming stood up under the fire of the devil, rushed to the side of the guard's wounded soldier with a cat's waist, and dragged him into a bunker.
"Battalion commander, leave me alone, go quickly!" The wounded guard soldier was moved to tears and hurriedly urged.
Wu Ming said: "Shut up, when did Lao Tzu leave his brothers?" ”
Who! After the first round of test firing, the devil's second shelling came again, much more accurate than just now.
A shell fell not far from Wu Ming and the wounded soldier, and at the moment of the explosion, Wu Ming rolled into a small crater with the wounded soldier in his arms, and firmly protected the wounded soldier under him.
But a large piece passed through his back, tearing his military uniform and the skin underneath, and blood gushed out, and Wu Ming, who was in pain, grinned.
"You kid just stay here and don't move, and when the devil's shelling is over, I'll have someone send you back to recuperate!" Wu Ming endured the severe pain in his back and said to the wounded soldier who was cratered.
The wounded soldier nodded, his face full of emotion.
Bang! Bang! The explosion became more and more intensive, and the roaring explosion shook people's eardrums, Wu Ming braved the artillery fire and returned to his bunker, Liu Xiaohai found the injury on his back, and asked in surprise: "Third battalion commander, are you injured?!" ”
Wu Ming said disappreciatively: "Hehe, a small injury, it's nothing." ”
"It's still bleeding, I'll help you bandage it!" Liu Xiaohai was about to get up as he spoke, but Wu Ming pressed him down.
Rumble! A shell landed not far in front of them and exploded, and the raging shrunk shrapnel whistled over their heads, shocking Liu Xiaohai into a cold sweat, if Wu Ming didn't press him down in time just now, he would probably lose his life here.
"I said it all, it's okay, I can't die, I've suffered more injuries than this, you're also a veteran, pay attention to safety, you've come over 25,000 miles in every danger, it's better than capsizing in the gutter here!" Wu Ming said that Chen Bing's sacrifice made Wu Ming a little heartbroken, after all, he was a Red Army who had participated in the 25,000-mile Long March.
A true elite of a hundred battles! For them, the traversers, they are the most respected predecessors of the contemporary military.
Liu Xiaohai nodded, but he was still thinking about Wu Ming's injury.
The artillery fire of the devils burst out one after another around the officers and soldiers of the dragon's teeth, raging everywhere, many plants and trees were ignited by the flames, and the entire blocking position was covered with craters and gunsmoke.
There was a pungent and choking smoke everywhere, and the shelling had just ended, but the expected Japanese infantry attack did not happen, just when Wu Ming had just sorted out and bandaged his wounds, and wanted to stand up and go to the front to reconnoiter the situation.
Another round of rapid shelling sounded, the sound of the cannonball breaking through the air made Wu Ming's face change greatly, he quickly lay down on the ground, the devil's cannonball flew down almost at the same time, but the expected explosion did not happen.
"Huh? What's going on? Wu Ming looked up and saw that not far away, a shell was being inserted diagonally into the ground that had been blown up by the shelling just now, and russet smoke began to emerge from the tail.
Seeing the cloud of smoke that quickly diffused and became bigger from small, Wu Ming suddenly realized, was taken aback, and immediately stood up and said: "It's not good, it's a gas bomb, a little devil of the dog ~ day ~ !" Brothers, hold your breath and withdraw! Fast! ”
It turned out that Major General Aoki, who had been frustrated in successive attacks, was worried that conventional artillery fire would not be able to achieve the desired tactical effect, so he came up with this vicious artillery bombing plan and brazenly used the poison gas bombs they carried.
Almost as soon as Wu Ming and the other fighters got up and were about to turn around and retreat, a group of Japanese infantry wearing gas masks and had already been prepared swarmed and suddenly opened fire on them.
First the conventional artillery bombardment, then the unexpected use of poison gas bombs, followed by the surprise attack of the assault forces that had already been prepared, were intertwined and difficult to guard against.
It can be seen that Aoki is much more difficult to deal with than Takagi Tanji of the 9th Brigade.
