Chapter 121: Attacking the Headquarters II
readx;? Wei Erxi saw that the fortifications and firing points on the periphery of the Japanese headquarters had almost been eliminated, so he ordered the artillery company to raise the firing range of the mortars, so that the shells could directly pass over the wall of the Japanese headquarters and hit the Japanese artillery positions in the Japanese headquarters, while the remaining strong fire points on the periphery were handed over to the tank guns on the tank vehicles and the 82 recoilless guns to deal with.

After the order was given, mortar shells from the artillery battery jumped over the wall of the Japanese headquarters and exploded inside the Japanese headquarters. The artillery positions in the Japanese headquarters were first attacked by the snipers of the national army, and the attack was already unsmooth, and then dozens of mortars of the national army counterattacked, and they were crippled at once, and the 8 infantry 70 infantry guns were destroyed one after another, and only about a dozen of the 20 or so heavy mortars escaped because of the rapid transfer, and the rest were also destroyed.
Wei Erxi saw that there were no shells flying out of the Japanese headquarters, and knew that the attack of the artillery company had been effective, so he ordered the chariot to assault. So three tanks, one armored car, two trucks, together with the fighters of the first company of the independent battalion and a company under Du Haifeng, attacked. The tanks are currently opening the way, and the strong bunker fortifications on the periphery of the Japanese headquarters are called one by one with the tank-mounted tank guns, and if one shot is not destroyed, another shot will be fired, anyway, the heavy machine guns in the bunker are not a threat to the tank.
Under the roar of tank guns, the originally fortified bunkers were destroyed one after another, and the Japanese soldiers who wanted to risk their lives with human bombs to storm the combat vehicles fell under the guns of the Chinese soldiers and snipers who coordinated the cover. After clearing the outlying fortifications, three tank guns were aimed at the walls and iron gates of the Japanese headquarters at the same time. After a series of shells, the iron gate of the Japanese headquarters collapsed along with a large section of the wall.
Just as the chariots and coordinated fighters were preparing to cross the wall, the screech of large-caliber shells was again heard in the air. Hearing the scream, Wei Erxi couldn't help but sink in his heart, knowing that the Japanese army had sent another warship and began to support the defending Japanese troops in the Japanese headquarters with the ship's large mouth through the ship's guns. Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, several large-caliber shells fell on the open space in front of the Japanese headquarters.
The soldiers of the independent battalion scattered and hid after hearing the screams in the air, while the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment ran around screaming. Wei Erxi immediately gave the order to retreat, but under the bombardment of several ** caliber naval guns, only the soldiers of the first company and two platoons of the independent battalion and the remaining dozens of fighters under Du Haifeng, as well as a truck and a tank of the independent battalion, and the rest of the combat vehicles and soldiers were left on the battlefield in front of the Japanese headquarters in the hundreds of meters.
This was the largest loss ever suffered by the independent battalion since the beginning of the war, not only dozens of soldiers were killed, but also a light armored vehicle, a tank car, and a truck carrying a twin heavy machine gun from Gao Ping, and the number of wounded soldiers in a company reached several dozen, and the company commander Xiao Yuanxin was also seriously wounded. Faced with such a scene, Wei Erxi had no choice but to send the wounded to the hospital for rescue first, and then stopped the attack.
After that, Wei Erxi tried to attack with all manpower, but the Japanese army condescended from the heavy machine gun in the window of the headquarters building, completely blocking the blasted section of the wall and gate, and the second attack had no effect except for adding some casualties. In the face of this situation, Wei Erxi was also helpless, the curved fire of the mortar could not help the devils in the building, and the direct firing distance of the 82 recoilless gun was only 300 meters, which could not reach the building.
And Gao Ping's second twin heavy machine gun was also helpless against the Japanese troops hiding in the building. At this time, the remaining dozen or so heavy mortars of the Japanese army re-established an artillery position on the top of the headquarters building. Yang Wenjing, as the commander-in-chief, also came to Wei Erxi at this time, and after learning all the situation, he had the same helplessness as Wei Erxi.
In desperation, Wei Erxi photographed the telegram directly to Wang Haitao, in which Wei Erxi directly informed Wang Haitao of the battle situation and asked Wang Haitao what to do. After Wang Haitao received the telegram, he regretted very much that he didn't bring a few heavy guns to Wei Erxi and them on his last trip to Shanghai, and now even if there are five 105 howitzers and some armor-piercing grenades, then things will be much easier.
It's just that there is no regret medicine in this world, and now they can't use their strength, so they can only rely on Wei Erxi and themselves. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Haitao called Wei Erxi back and said: "Now this situation, you can only look at yourself, think about the tactics I taught you to do group assault at night, and then combine your current actual situation, do it boldly, I want to believe that you will be able to overcome difficulties and complete the task." ”
When this reply was held in Wei Erxi's hand, Wang Haitao's requirements and teachings for the guard company's urban street fighting training came to mind. Wei Erxi couldn't help but slap his head, secretly scolding himself for being a bastard, just thinking about suppressing and destroying the enemy with superior weapons, completely ignoring the guiding ideology that "talent is the most important part of war" that the brigade once taught.
At this time, Wei Erxi suddenly opened his mouth, and immediately gathered the veterans of the original guard company together, these veterans have a total of one hundred and eight people, Wei Erxi first read Wang Haitao's call back to himself, and then said to everyone: "Now we are facing a situation that the heavy weapons are either destroyed or suppressed, and the Japanese devils are entrenched in the headquarters building, condescending, and the danger to our attacking troops is extremely great.
Under these circumstances, it would be unwise to use a large force for a general attack, which would only inflict heavy casualties on the troops. At this time, it is up to us soldiers of the veteran guard company who have undergone strict training, and we should seriously recall the contents of the street fighting and advance training in the stormy battles taught to us by the brigade seat, and when the sky falls, we will use these training contents to give the Japanese devils some powerful looks in actual combat, so that they can see the prestige of the Chinese soldiers. Let's go separately to prepare, and we will gather at eight o'clock in the evening. ”
At eight o'clock in the evening, in front of Wei Erxi, nearly 200 soldiers of the independent battalion were concentrated, except for one hundred and eight veterans, all of whom were soldiers with top-notch individual skills among the recruits of the independent battalion, who could form a tacit cooperation with the veterans and were recognized by the veterans. Yang Wenjin and Du Haifeng also rushed over when they got the news. These fighters were divided into a combat group of six and seven, and all the fighters formed thirty-five combat groups.
After Wei Erxi checked the equipment of each soldier one by one, he came to Yang Wenjin and Du Haifeng and saluted: "Commander-in-Chief Yang, Commander Du, I will immediately take these soldiers to attack the Japanese headquarters, if we succeed, I will notify you with signal flares, and you will immediately send troops to meet and occupy the Japanese headquarters." If we fail, then tomorrow it will be up to you, and the heavy weapons and the rest of the soldiers of our independent battalion will be handed over to you, even if you use the manpower pile, you will have to take down the Japanese army and complete the tasks assigned by General Zhang. ”
Yang Wenjin and Du Haifeng both returned a solemn military salute, and Yang Wenjin said: "Battalion Commander Wei, you are all real Chinese soldiers, you are real men, you just have to let it go, if you fail, tomorrow I will take all the soldiers to charge, I will definitely rush to the front." I wish you every success. ”
After saying this, Yang Wenjin and Wei Erxi's hands were tightly clasped together. After a long time, Yang Wenjing said: "Take care!" let go of Wei Erxi's hand, Wei Erxi sent a military salute again, turned to the soldiers behind him and shouted: "Go!" Two hundred commando soldiers followed Wei Erxi into the night.
