Chapter 196: Contact Battle
The rumbling sound of artillery sounded, and in a bare broad-leaved forest south of Jiaoqiao Town, the heavy artillery wing directly under the military headquarters of the 11th Army launched a fierce artillery bombardment on Nanchang Xicheng. As soon as the cannon sounded, in the bay five kilometers southwest of Jiaoqiao Town, three student soldiers wearing white hooded cloaks and wearing camouflage uniforms of the Cadet Army poked their heads out of the snow where they were hiding, and one of them said: "Tuanzuo, in Jiaoqiao!" ”
It was the "wolf head" team led by Lu Zhibai himself. Lu Zhibai glanced in the direction of Jiaoqiao, the distance was too far, and he could only see the cannonball that was passing at a rapid speed like a meteor, he took off the microphone from the walkie-talkie behind him, pressed the send button and shouted: "Rabbit, rabbit, please reply when you hear it!" ”
"White Rabbit received!"
"Big Grey Rabbit received!"
"Hare received!"
……
"The closest to Jiaoqiao Town immediately find the enemy artillery position!"
"Roger!"
The rumbling cannon fire lasted only five minutes before it stopped. At this time, all the artillery trucks, personnel carriers, and logistics vehicles of the Eighth Division had just completed the engine warm-up.
Uchiyama Eitaro strictly carried out Okamura Ninji's order, and after five minutes of rapid fire, he immediately began to move his position with all the artillery, moving from Jiaoqiao Town to Meiling Township in the northwest direction.
A quarter of an hour later, the "Big Gray Rabbit" discovered them, and after the wolf tooth Gu Gang who led the team reported to Lu Zhibai, he followed his brothers from afar.
The shelling destroyed most of the crystal trenches, and the ice caps and "crystal" protective walls in many places of the crystal trenches were lifted, turning the fortress into a "ruined wall" with air leakage. As soon as the shelling stopped, under the cover of three tanks, Harunmatsu Suzuki again led his troops to attack. Three tanks rushed to the front, providing cover for the infantry behind. At the same time, he also fired a shot at the gap in the crystal trench at every turn, making the gap even bigger. In some places, there was only a two- or three-meter-long ice wall left between the two gaps, and the tank fired two shots in response, and the ice wall and the ice sheet above collapsed in one fell swoop, and the passage leading to the hidden soldier cave behind it was suddenly revealed.
Two students covered in blood stood up from the smoke of gunpowder, and two people dragged the body of a student soldier and ran into the passage quickly.
"The people of China want to run away?" On the shore, Yokoyama raised his telescope and looked all the way from north to south, only to find a few students who had died in battle, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but say in confusion.
The tanks drove closer and closer, and when there was only 300 meters left on the east bank, under the command of Suzuki Harusatsu, the machine gunners, grenadiers, and mortars in the three columns of devils all ran out of the ranks, lined up, and began to build positions. And on the side of the crystal trenches, there was still no movement.
"Wait!" Inside a passage, the white tassel said loudly.
About five hundred meters away from the front line, Ouyang Yun, Connor and the others were looking at the battlefield with binoculars under the cover of a ruin. Connor never forgot the white tassel, he asked Ouyang Yun from time to time about the scar-faced female general, and he didn't know that the latter was already sharpening the steel knife in his heart, and he was waiting for Huo Huo to go to the Germans.
"Is that the taste of foreigners so strong? Or did he know that the scar on the face of the tassel was fake? Ouyang Yun thought like this, looking at Connor's eyes becoming more and more unkind, and the tone of his answer became more and more bad.
You Xiaolian was secretly worried about Connor on the side, and finally seized an opportunity and vaguely told Connor: Master Bai is the love of the commander-in-chief. You Xiaolian was more concerned with the German Yankees' affairs, originally for the latter's sake, but Unexpectedly, Connor couldn't hear it at all, but yelled at Ouyang Yun, saying that he was too selfish, and said that since Master Bai is your lover, how can you put her in danger? "Your Excellency, are you still a man? As a man, how can you allow this to happen? Connor chattered, but he didn't know that because his words meant to belittle women, he had already angered You Xiaolian.
Ouyang Yun has to care about the battle situation, so although he has already sharpened his knives in his heart, he can't deal with this kind of jealous private matter first. You Xiaolian is different, she kindly reminded Connor just now, seeing that the Germans didn't appreciate it, she dared to discriminate against their women, she lost her temper, and kicked Connor's ass directly, kicked the latter off the ruins, pointed at him and scolded: "What's wrong with the woman?" No more of you men? Is it going to fall this day? I look like a dog, I didn't expect you to be like this-"
You Xiaolian's shadowless feet are not Lang's name, Rao is that she has been merciful at her feet, but it is still not something that Connor's fragile ass can bear. Connor got up with difficulty, covering his ass with both hands and was about to settle accounts with the sneak attacker, but was scolded by You Xiaolian, only to realize that he had inadvertently offended the female soldiers around Ouyang Yun, and in the face of the cold eyes of the women's army, the Germans took the blame and finally closed their mouths.
At this time, the front line had already begun. When the Japanese tank was still one hundred and fifty meters away from the crystal trench, it was "launched" with a white tassel! The sound of "all through" sounded, the howitzer guns of the Cadet Army took the lead in firing, and more than 30 grenades smashed into the three tanks and the nearby ice in an instant, and after the rumbling explosion, the "squeak" of the ice surface cracking sounded, and in the exclamation of many devils, the three tanks sank down almost at the same time and fell into the icy river.
After solving the three tanks, the cadets swarmed out of the passage, and all kinds of Weiqing-style guns and disease-free general-purpose machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the bullets swept towards the three columns of devils in pieces, and a large area was put down on the spot.
The sound of "Tongtong" grenade firing on the opposite side sounded, and Suzuki Harunmatsu lay on the ice with a spirit. Seeing the cadets rushing out of the passage, he raised his command knife and shouted, "Kill it!" Suddenly, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns and 38 large covers opened fire one after another, and the attacking and defending sides began to fire at each other.
This kind of fighting technique has a low technical content, but it is the most test of the soldier's willpower.
After firing for about a quarter of an hour, both sides suffered casualties, and because there was no shelter, the losses of the Japanese were much higher than those of the cadet army. Far away, after discovering the situation on the battlefield, Okamura Ninji had an order to Yokoyama to postpone the attack. At this time, the three brigades of the 17th Division in the first round of offensive tasks had suffered more than one-third casualties.
The two attacks of the Japanese army were more tentative. And after encountering fierce resistance and judging that the student army did not mean to give up Nanchang, it would be unwise to continue to fight for consumption.
The Japanese army retreated backwards, and Bai Tassel put down the sniper rifle in his hand and ordered: "Speed up and clean up the battlefield and enter the defensive artillery hole!" ”
In the rear, Jiang Huangyong called Zhang Tianquan again, learned that the Eighth Division had arrived in Zhangqiao Village, and he got in touch with Lu Zhibai again, and then asked him to talk directly to Zhang Tianquan, so that he could directly command the Eighth Division to carry out a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery.
