Listening to Yamada Takuro's words, Lieutenant General Shunjiro Takeuchi said with a smile on his face: "Yamada-kun is too worried, that person knows the power of my artillery, and the chariot unit has been heavily damaged, and now I am afraid that he will not dare to attack our army's position again." Besides, the Chinese people, that is, the chariots, are extremely difficult to deal with, and if it is only an infantry attack, what is the fear of our Imperial Japanese Army?"

Yamada Zhuoer Osaku saw that the division commander was a little underestimated and wanted to persuade him again, but the Chinese army had stopped the attack, and now continuing to persuade the division commander was afraid that it would cause the division commander to be unhappy. Therefore, he didn't say anything more, and only after leaving Lieutenant General Shunjiro Takeuchi, he secretly told several wing commanders to strengthen their vigilance to prevent a sneak attack by the Chinese army.

In the two fortifications of the 871st Regiment and the 877th Regiment on the Chinese front, Wei Shaofeng and Wu Zhijun held pre-war meetings respectively, and the participants were all the backbone of each regiment, and there was only one topic, how to capture the Japanese positions with minimal losses without the coordination of tanks. The atmosphere in the two fortifications was very warm, and these backbone cadres put forward their own ideas and opinions one after another, and Wei Shaofeng and Wu Zhijun both sat there and listened attentively, and from time to time raised questions about some of the ideas put forward.

Soon more than an hour passed, the meetings of the two regiments were almost over, and the attack plan was gradually clear. Wei Shaofeng and Wu Zhijun both summarized the plan and reported it in person. Li Changwu received two attack plans almost at the same time, and he looked at them separately. The two attack plans were much the same, emphasizing the dispersion of attack formations and sneaking into Japanese positions, with the 877th Regiment being more inclined to the use of combat groups, while the 871st Regiment was more inclined to the overall strength.

Li Changwu was not surprised by this; the training received by the 877th Regiment was a method passed down by Wang Haitao, and more attention was paid to flexibility and practicality; the 871st Regiment received training from German officers, and the emphasis was on rigor and the development of overall strength. These two options are not the better, but each has its own advantages. However, both sides in the plan paid attention to the flexible use of mortars and rocket launchers, which made Li Changwu very satisfied.

After carefully reading the two plans, Wang Haitao did not say anything, but asked Tang Longzai: "Longzai, hasn't the reconnaissance team found out the specific location of the Japanese artillery position?" Tang Longzai replied: "Report to the commander, there is no reply for the time being." Do you want me to push again?"

Wang Haitao thought for a moment and replied: "No need, I believe that the reconnaissance team has been trying its best to search, I am afraid that the Japanese army is well guarded, and it will not be able to find it for a while and a half." The attack plans of the 871st Regiment and the 877th Regiment were sent here, and they did not agree that their attack would hit their morale, and they agreed that they would attack for fear that there would be a lot of casualties. After all, Little Japan is not a vegetarian, there are more than 20,000 people in a division, and it is difficult to eat it in one bite!"

Tang Longzai replied: "Commander, if you want to win the battle, how can you not pay the price? In my opinion, it is better to let them try to attack, otherwise it will seriously affect their morale, and they will have a great dependence on the chariot. How could Wang Haitao not understand this, he thought for a while and carefully read the two attack plans, and then nodded and said: "Okay, I agree with these two plans, let them carry them out!" But you go and tell Li Changwu that heavy fire support must keep up. ”

Wei Shaofeng and Wu Zhijun were both excited after receiving the order, and the commander had approved their respective attack plans and asked them to carry out their respective plans. This attack was different from the previous ones, there was no artillery bombardment before the attack, and there was no accompanying cover of chariots, and what was required was to move into the darkness to make the attack more concealed and sudden.

Having made sufficient preparations, the 871st Regiment and the 877th Regiment launched operations from two directions almost simultaneously. There were multiple searchlights on the Japanese positions, which fired in the dark into the open space in front of the positions. However, the range of these searchlights was only about 100 meters, and when the officers and men of the two regiments quietly crossed the anti-tank trench in the dark, the Japanese did not notice it in the slightest.

As soon as they crossed the anti-tank trench, Wei Shaofeng and Wu Zhijun respectively whispered orders to their subordinate battalion commanders to continue to sneak in. The 1st Battalion of the 871st Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 877th Regiment continued to sneak until they were only 150 meters away from the Japanese position, and then stopped advancing. This is already the farthest position where it can sneak up, and if it goes any further into the range of searchlights, the troops may be exposed.

However, at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, the soldiers charged with all their might, that is, they could rush to the Japanese position in one minute. Both regiments and one battalion served as the attack forward battalions, and Wei Shaofeng and Wu Zhijun also had high hopes for the two battalions. After the two battalion commanders reached the front position, they made a few gestures to their subordinates, and the troops unfolded in place according to the plan.

The 1st Battalion of the 871st Regiment was composed of three attack arrows in companies, each with four heavy machine guns to provide fire cover for the attack, and each company was also assigned two rocket launcher groups to deal with strong fire points. The 877th Regiment was composed of dozens of attack groups in squads, and the heavy machine guns of the whole battalion were concentrated together to suppress the firing points on the Japanese positions.

However, the two regiments had one thing in common in that they concentrated all the large and small caliber mortars of the whole regiment in several places, and as soon as the machine gun fire points on the Japanese positions were exposed, they were destroyed by mortar fire. It was ten o'clock in the evening, and this time was the time when the two regimental commanders agreed to start the attack at the same time. I heard several crisp gunshots in the dark night, and the searchlights on the Japanese positions were extinguished at the same time as the gunshots rang out. I heard a ghost crying wolf howl on the Japanese position, and then countless gunshots rang out.

In the dark night, you can clearly see the fire from the muzzles of the Japanese positions, especially the tongues of fire from the muzzles of light and heavy machine guns. The lurking Chinese troops did not charge at this time, while Wei Shaofeng and Wu Zhijun stared at the machine-gun fire points on the Japanese positions and gave the order to open fire on the commander of the heavy fire battalion. The artillerymen, who had been waiting for a long time, fired the shells at the same time as soon as they received the order to open fire.

The two regiments gathered nearly 100 mortars, and at the same time, they immediately bombed the Japanese position, killing and wounding one another. The light and heavy machine gun fire points of the Japanese army were the key targets of the mortars, and they were completely lost under the repeated bombardment of dense shells. At the same time as the mortar bombardment, dozens of heavy machine guns also let out an angry roar, and dense bullets flew towards the Japanese positions, making the Japanese army even worse.

Seeing that the bullets fired from the Japanese positions were sparse, the first battalion commanders of the two regiments gave the order to attack almost simultaneously, and took the lead in jumping up from the ground and rushing towards the Japanese positions. On the side of the 871st Regiment, the three companies shot out like three sharp arrows, and the soldiers of the sharp knife squad who rushed in front were all armed with rushing and sharp spears.

Behind the Sharp Knife squad was the Sharp Knife Platoon, and the entire platoon of soldiers pulled out of the stormtroop formation and followed closely behind the Sharp Knife Squad. Some soldiers fell in the charge, and the comrades-in-arms around them couldn't take care of them at this time, and the hearts of the soldiers were full of momentum to rush to the Japanese position, supporting them to charge, charge, and charge again.

On the side of the 877th Regiment, there was no indomitable momentum of the 871st Regiment, but the various combat groups with squads as groups pulled the formation even wider, and the front of the Japanese position was full of Chinese soldiers, and everywhere was the fire of shooting, and in the dark night it was not known how many Chinese troops were charging, so that it was difficult for the Japanese troops on the position to find the target if they wanted to block it, so they could only shoot forward with a sharp eye.

Soon both battalions were only fifty or sixty meters away from the Japanese position, and the cover of the mortar bombardment had stopped. The Japanese troops on the positions also woke up from the bombardment, and under the command of the officers, the blocking became organized. In this way, the 1st Battalion of the 871st Regiment first felt the pressure, as soon as the Japanese resistance stabilized, the accuracy of the shooting was greatly increased, and the heavy machine-gun fire points in the fortifications were not destroyed by mortar guns, and the troops had to lie down on the spot and hide due to the increase in casualties.

Luo Jiang, the commander of the first battalion of the 871st Regiment, saw that the charge was defeated, and he couldn't help but scold his mother angrily, and the commander of a company next to him said: "Battalion commander, several machine gun fire points on the small Japanese position are in the fortifications, and it seems that the mortars have not been blown up, do you use bazookas to give it a good taste?" The words of the company commander reminded Luo Jiang, and Luo Jiang couldn't help but scold: "Look at my pig brain, how can I forget the big killer weapon of the bazooka! Quickly pass my order to let the bazooka team go! ”

It is not to blame Luo Jiang for not remembering the bazooka group for a while, in the establishment of the 210th Division, there was no such bazooka group, after the capture of Hengyang City, because the 210th Division was going to attack Nanchang, Wang Haitao in order to strengthen their attack power, this was the only way to transfer 20 bazooka teams to Tang Hongming's command. When the 210th Division was ambushed, these 20 bazooka groups were protected by the center, so they did not suffer losses. This time, to counterattack the Japanese troops outside the city, Wei Bin assigned these 20 bazooka groups to the command of the 871st Regiment and the 872nd Regiment.

Before the first battalion attacked, Wei Shaofeng transferred six bazooka teams to them, and instructed Luo Jiang to ensure their safety. Therefore, they all rushed to the rear when charging, and each group also had a squad to protect. Now is the time for them to show their skills, and there are really many officers and men in the first battalion who have not seen the power of bazookas.

After sneaking into the right position, the bazooka team skillfully aimed at their respective targets. For it was to deal with strong fortifications, and they used them.* Soon, the shooters pulled the trigger one after another, and one rocket and bomb hit several fortifications in an instant. Even a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate can easily penetrate this kind of *, it is a piece of cake to deal with cement fortifications, although it is not clear how * drilled into the fortifications, but the fire and explosion sound from the fortifications let the officers and men of the battalion see clearly.
