Chapter 107: Decapitated Rice!

Tan Jiaqiao, the situation is a little strange now, the devil who occupies absolute firepower superiority, air superiority, and menacing devils suddenly stopped, in addition to making a posture of attacking at any time, only light and heavy machine guns and artillery fire show their existence. The 11th Division, which was struggling to defend, attacked several times at the beginning, trying to drive the devils back to Luodian, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack, but in the face of the dense firepower of the devils, the 31st Brigade and the 33rd Brigade, which had no artillery cover, were left with corpses all over the ground in addition to consuming the devils' ammunition reserves.

"Boom, boom......"

Two Type 92 infantry guns landed on the position of the first company, and they did nothing but blow up a cloud of mud and sand.

"It's good for labor! Don't yourself and die! ”

Two Type 92 infantry guns signaled their presence and warned the Chinese defenders not to mess around, while Zhao Liang, the nerdy company commander, warned his brother that he had no intention of launching a counterattack.

"Bang!"

"Dang!"

The steel helmet that was used by the devil to test the sharpshooter left a hole, and retracted again, and the devil lying in the crater hung his head, and it seemed that the sharpshooter on the opposite side was not going to be good, and was ready to fight them to the death.

The battle-hardened devil officer is not a fool, he can come up with at least a few ways to deal with the opposite sharpshooter in his mind, the first is to kill him with a more powerful sniper, this is the easiest and best way, the second is to cover the position with massive artillery fire and blow up this annoying thing with shells, and the third is to launch an attack, capture the opposite position, and force the opposing defenders to engage in white-knuckle combat with bayonets.

"Yaga!"

The leader of the devil squadron is already going crazy, he can't implement any of the methods he can come up with, he doesn't have snipers, this kind of elite will not be attached to the squadron, snipers who exist in the army like a baby, they need orders from the division commander, as for the artillery bombardment, he has just tried it, and they are not available, as for the attack, if his squadron is not transferred, it can still be implemented, but now there are more than eighty soldiers, and he does not think that he can eliminate the defenders on the opposite position.

"Squadron headquarters plus the warriors on the position, how many more people do we have?"

The squadron leader gritted his teeth and asked, he was going to press everyone up, attack, occupy the opposite position, and finish off the sharpshooter.

"Your Excellency, three of them have just been killed, all of them under the guns of that sharpshooter, there are only one hundred and twenty-three people, plus yourself as the squadron leader."

A devil officer reports the current situation like a squadron leader, even the squadron leader, that is, the report of all the logistics personnel is included.

"Yaga!"

The squadron leader deeply felt powerless, there was no artillery support, relying on the attack of one of his squadrons, the opposite position should be able to be taken, but what if the Chinese defenders in the left and right positions were supported? Won't your own squadron be wiped out?

"Tell the warriors on the position, protect yourself and wait for the counterattack! Yaga! ”

The squadron leader gave the order in a decadent manner, and although he knew that this order would cause the morale of the imperial army to drop, he had no choice but to curse.

On the evening of the 29th, after the 51st Division, which rushed from Anting to reinforce the Shixianggong Temple in the west of Luodian, set up a command post at Shixianggong Temple in the west of Luodian, and ordered the 306th Regiment of the 153rd Brigade to prepare for a night attack, and the regiment commander Colonel Qiu Weida pre-reconnoitred the Japanese position, and ordered the 3rd Battalion to sneak attack, and the 1st and 2nd Battalions responded to the ambush, and the battalion commander Major Hu Hao commanded the 3rd Battalion to break into Luodian from the vicinity of the 67th Division's position, opening a gap, and then strafing light and heavy firearms together, and the Japanese army was in a mess and hurriedly responded. The 3rd Battalion pretended to be defeated and retreated, the Japanese army did not know that there was an ambush, and immediately launched a pursuit, and entered the 306th Regiment in advance at about 200 meters away from Shi Xianggong Temple.

It had been two days since the fall of Luodian, and the main forces of the devils gathered in Luodian posed a serious threat to the Nationalist forces in the areas of Nanxiang, Jiading, and Liuhang, and the Military Commission of the Nanjing Nationalist Government demanded that Luodian must be recovered.

On August 30, the national army once again invested the 234th Brigade of the 78th Division that had just arrived at the battlefield to counterattack Luodian, and at 8 o'clock that night, the 1st Battalion of the 467th Regiment was stationed in Yunzaobang, and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions attacked Jijiaqiao, Yangzhai and Laozhai on the front line. The 3rd Battalion's attack on the old house was exposed prematurely, and it was returned by intensive Japanese fire, suffering heavy losses, and after many charges without progress, the battalion commander, Major Gao Weihua, died during the charge. The 2nd Battalion attacked smoothly, and Lianke Jijiaqiao and Yang Zhai. After daybreak, they were shelled, and the 3rd Battalion attacked unfavorably, so the 2nd Battalion was ordered to retreat to Gu's house for defense.

On August 31, the Japanese army launched a general attack on Baoshan and Wusong, as soon as the morning dawned, the Japanese army concentrated sea and air superior firepower to bombard Lion Forest and Wusong Town, most of the national army fortifications were destroyed, the 2nd Battalion of the 588th Regiment of the 294th Brigade of the 98th Division defended the Lion Forest to the death, with heavy casualties, the main force of the 588 Regiment immediately rushed to help, fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army for 4 hours, and launched a counterattack against the Japanese army twice. At the same time, more than 2,000 people of the 68th Wing of the Japanese army stormed Wusong under the cover of the navy, and the 61st Division was poorly prepared, with more than 5,000 casualties, and the defenders were defeated and retreated west of Wusong. The town of Wusong was then occupied by the Japanese army. Yang Bufei, commander of the 61st Division, was removed from his post and replaced by Major General Zhong Song.

In two days, except for sporadic shells, the position of the first company was never attacked again, and Feng Yi's results were not great, and there were only five more heads on the roster, but the morale of the first company was unprecedentedly good.

On September 1, the direction of the Japanese army's main attack turned to Shishilin and Wusong. The 2nd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment defended the Lion Forest, and within a few hours, the 5th and 6th companies of the battalion were wiped out, and the 4th Company also lost contact, and at 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the Lion Forest was lost. The Asama detachment advanced to Yangjiaqiao again, but the attack was blocked after a counterattack by our army.

The Japanese army seemed to have forgotten the existence of the Tanjiaqiao National Army, and even the devils in front of the company took advantage of the night to withdraw, and they completely withdrew five hundred meters away, after all, no one could stand the days of guarding against snipers at all times.

The soldiers on the position were chatting and farting in the trenches, and now there was not a single cigarette on the entire position, and for several days, the cigarette had already been consumed, and even Feng Yi's half pack of cigarettes was cheekily asked to leave by Chen Hua and Min Daman.

At the rear of the position, a dozen men and two logistics brothers, carrying a dozen large wooden barrels and a few braving baskets, laboriously shuttled through the trenches, until they entered the center of the position, they carefully put down, where a large number of ammunition boxes, boxes of bullets, rows of grenade boxes, and a few soldiers with the word gendarmerie on their sleeves had been piled up.

"Attack, how to attack without artillery cover? Just those meat buns? ”

Zhao Liang had just returned from the regimental headquarters, and he received an order to attack after dark, and I heard that this time the order was directly issued by the military headquarters, and the 11th Division was to attack from the east of Luodian, and Luodian must be occupied before dawn.

"Company Commander Zhao, this time the military subordinates have lost their money, the brothers haven't seen meat for a long time, and even the meat buns have come up, this is for us to see off!"

Song Feng sighed beside him and said, the meat buns and bone broth stacked outside, as well as those ammunition, this is their severed head meal, even the supervision team has been sent out, in this kind of scene, there is basically no advance or retreat, it seems that the division headquarters is also ruthless!
