Chapter 50: Ahead

Wen Hui was destined to sleep badly, and as soon as he lay down, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, but he didn't know how long it took to feel that someone was setting off firecrackers outside. It was very annoying for a while, and the half-asleep state was really uncomfortable, until Wen Hui couldn't help but get up and walked out angrily, he wanted to see which bastard was setting off firecrackers.

But as soon as he stepped out of the door, Wen Hui stopped, there will be no firecrackers here! When I came to the headquarters, I found that everyone was there, Deputy Division Commander Long Si, Chief of Staff Qi Ye, First Regiment Commander Lang Tan, Second Regiment Commander Niu Zhengwu, Third Regiment Commander Li Xiaoqing, and a cadre of staff officers were all gathered.

"How much did I miss?" Wen Hui rubbed his eyes and walked in quickly.

"You might as well come and take a break for a while, we'll send the meeting report anyway." Long Si joked with a smile, Wen Hui has always been ignorant of military affairs, and he will bring an ear to this kind of combat meeting, saying that there is really no difference between him and him.

"Haha!" One sentence made everyone laugh below, after getting along for so long, they knew too well what virtues their boss had.

"Not bad." Wen Hui nodded, the command was still in the mood to joke before the war, and his mentality was worth affirming.

"Sir, you're too nervous, the Japanese actually can't get on the stage, although our chances of winning this time are not great, but we can definitely crush them in the next battle." Qi Ye said it directly, 37 years later, the Nanjing government collapsed, and that was when they stood up.

"Don't die!" After Wen Hui finished speaking, he sat down in his place, "What's the matter?" "It's definitely okay to get people together for a meeting all of a sudden.

"Good news, bad news." Ryuji walked to the sand table and pointed to the geographical location above, "The good news is that our position has been constructed, and the August sun has almost dried the cement; The bad news is that the Japanese came early. ”

"What!?" Wen Hui looked at the fleet model and soldier model placed near Chuanshakou, Lion Forest, and Wusong Town, and was surprised, today is only the 22nd, according to history, the Japanese arrived in the early morning of the 23rd, and there are still more than ten hours from now.

"They've been here, eight hours ago." Qi Ye nodded his ears, "You should have heard, their planes are bombing nearby targets." ”

"How so?" Wen Hui didn't understand.

"Don't underestimate the intelligence system of the Japanese, the army here can't hide it from people at all. The Japanese had already reached the vicinity of the open sea, and now they were only speeding to the end. Thankfully, the defense units of all units of the Eighteenth Army arrived in the defense area this morning. Qi Ye used the whip to point at Chuanshakou, Lion Forest Fort and Wusong Town, "These three places have already started, and the Japanese arrived in advance, but the battle plan has not changed, and they still chose these places to land." ”

"How's it going?"

"We're waiting for the latest developments." There is no aerial reconnaissance, and information can only be transmitted through ground communications, "The troops have entered combat readiness, and we are considering whether to support Chuansha Town." ”

"There is a battalion of the 67th Division stationed there......" Before Qi Ye finished speaking, the phone rang.

A staff officer went over and picked up the phone: "Hey? yes, well, I see. Hang up, "Chuansha Town is lost!" ”

"It is estimated that there are still a few hours to meet the enemy, and you are ready to fight!" Ryuji was also unambiguous, and directly ordered all departments to prepare for battle.

"Yes!" After the three regiment commanders stood up and saluted, they rushed out.

Wen Hui's eyes stared at Chuansha Town, and he gestured the distance: "How about letting the artillery blow up their landing ground?" Our artillery can get there. ”

"I am not in favor of revealing the strength of artillery too early, their planes and naval guns in the sky are not decorations." The eight-hour loss of Chuansha Town is very alarming.

"It's painful to be weak! Hopefully this is the last time. Wen Hui had no choice but to agree to Ryuji's suggestion.

You don't have to think about it to know how hard they fought, and it's not bad to be able to hold for eight hours.

Things were just as Wen Hui and the others thought, the 67th Division 21st quickly moved to their own defense area after receiving the order, and there was no interference from Japanese planes in the sky, so they quickly arrived at their destination. However, a division has to defend such a large area, so it is naturally impossible to focus only on Chuansha Town, which is a suspected landing site, and division commander Li Shusen has sent troops to several possible landing sites, and Chuansha has also sent a battalion over.

For Wenhui's information, everyone's degree of belief varies, so they only pay attention to Chuansha Town and do not pay attention to it. However, this is also better than the original company.

The battalion commander Lei Hanchi and his men rushed to Chuansha Town in the middle of the night after the 21st, and after resting for the night, the next day began defensive operations.

Lei Hanchi knew that it was broken, and sent a report to his superiors for help while ordering his subordinates to prepare for battle. He himself took people to the riverside, and from the binoculars, he could see the Japanese plaster flags and groups of devil soldiers with bags and guns ready to land.

The terrain on this side of Chuansha Town is flat, which is very suitable for landing, and the devil's troop carrier can directly rush to the beachhead and release people. Although the battalion commander has never seen the power of the naval guns, he still has a clear understanding of the size of the gun barrels, and the 127 mm "small cannon" on the destroyer is several times more powerful than the 75 mountain guns.

Although it is not recommended to defend the beachhead, the battalion commander of Lei Hanchi is not willing to let the devils swagger up like this, and at the same time buy time for the rear to strengthen the position, he decided to take people to fight here.

A company of soldiers entered the combat position, although the beachhead was flat, but relatively speaking, the Tibetans were still fine. A company of nine ZB26 light machine guns, plus two Min-24 heavy machine guns temporarily transferred from the battalion headquarters to reinforce, this is all heavy firepower.

Lei Hanchi is already very satisfied with this kind of equipment, and in the past, there was a light machine gun per squad, which was only the treatment of the elite of the Central Army (the German armor division was equipped with a DPM that fired 7.92 German bullets, and the eliminated part of the ZB26 was given to the Central Army troops in the next sequence), and it would be good for the battalion headquarters to have a heavy machine gun, and now there is a machine gun company, and even the 60 forced to get two, but there are not too many shells. And the soldiers are all in the hands of the official (also eliminated by the German mechanic division), and Hanyang has been eliminated for the first time!

Just thinking about it, the Japanese landing ship rushed to the beachhead, and the people on it came down dozens of times, and then began to carry out a vigilance sweep to ensure the safe landing of the follow-up troops, after all, they only received information about the movement of the Chinese army to this side, and it was not clear whether there was anyone defending here.

"It's cunning!" Lei Hanchi looked at the devil with a single look and knew that he couldn't wait any longer, "Fight!" ”

At the sound of an order, the soldier lying on his stomach stood up and opened fire on the humans walking in front of him. The roar of light machine guns and heavy machine guns also rang out at the same time, and the sudden attack caught the devils who had just disembarked by surprise, and more than two dozen people were knocked over in an instant.

At this time, you can see the quality of the soldiers, the gunshots rang out, and it was true that there were dead and wounded on the devil's side, but the rest of the people immediately lay down to find cover, and at the same time searched for the source of the attack and prepared to return fire. The devils who had not yet come down from the boat did not retract, but hurried down, they knew that if they were driven down this time, they would have to face more enemies next time they grabbed the beach, and at this time they could only attack the enemy on the shore and gain a foothold on the beachhead.

The two sides crackled and fought, the devil's heavy weapons had not yet been unloaded, and the improvised heavy machine guns and light machine guns were on par with the defending national army, but the continuity of the firepower of the Type 92 heavy machine guns fed by 30 rounds of ammunition was not as good as that of the Min 24 type, and the troops on the beachhead showed signs of being suppressed.

A devil soldier Cao (sergeant) urged from the side of the boat: "Speed (fast)!" "Listening to the sound of gunfire, you can know that there is no large army on the opposite side to defend, so take people to take a detour to copy their flanks, and you can immediately deal with this small force. As soon as he turned around, Jun Cao saw his left leg flying into the sky, and then he heard the explosion, felt the pain, stood unsteadily and fell on the wetland by the river, and howled out with his broken left leg.

"Artillery (shelling)! 隠れる (hidden)! The captain (corporal) who got off the boat rushed over and dragged the broken leg back of the military cao, and did not forget to remind the soldiers next to him to pay attention to the shelling.

"Sanitary Soldiers! Guards! "I tied up the severed limbs that were spurting blood with an armed belt, but after shouting for a long time, I didn't know where the health soldiers had gone in the confusion.

After the school firing, the mortar shells rained down, the two guns twenty rapid fire, after the artillery carried the cannon and transferred, the beachhead was blown up in a mess, just now the devil was suppressed at once, and three shells fell on the landing ship, the devil did not have a serious landing craft, these are wooden transport ships (according to the old photos of the Chuansha landing at that time, it was indeed a wooden transport ship), the shells smashed down on the ship, and there were casualties on the ship.

The number of deaths and casualties in the opening game went straight to the triple digits, which made the Japanese stunned from top to bottom.
