Chapter 130: Flickering the Grenadier!
In fact, not only the national army suffered heavy losses, but also the first two divisions of Matsui Shigen to participate in the Battle of Songhu also suffered heavy casualties, and the 11th division in the direction of Luodian has suffered thousands of casualties from the shore to the present.
On September 5, after the symbolic artillery bombardment by the devils, in the southeast of Luodian, the infantry even stopped the tentative attack, but the lion forest and Wusong were captured by the devils, and the devils gathered a large number of troops to attack Baoshan, Baoshan is the last right flank guard in the Luodian area, if Luodian can not be captured, but Baoshan is lost, the devils can connect the landing field together, so as to encircle all the Chinese troops in the Luodian area.
On September 6th, five pontoon bridges were swaying in the icy water, the morning fog had not yet dissipated, and both sides of the ferry were crowded with troops who were going to cross the river, shouting and cursing and shouting mixed together, chaotic and noisy.
The roar of artillery on the front line came from afar, and the battle situation was getting worse day by day, in this plain area where there was no danger to defend, under the heavy artillery cover of the devils, the entire company and battalion of the Chinese army were killed, and the rear continued to send one division after another to the front line, and batches of light and serious wounded on the front line continued to be sent down.
The 51st, 56th, and 58th divisions of the 74th Army were all thrown into the direction of Luodian, and one of their divisions had already participated in the siege of Luodian two days before, and now it was all the remaining main forces that crossed the river.
After receiving the report that the 74th Army had all crossed the river, at 14 o'clock on September 6, Chen Cheng issued an order to attack Luodian, demanding that from the seventh night of the same day, "Luodian should indeed be surrounded and occupied, so as to relieve the danger of Baoshan!" βγ
Feng killed eight people.
Zhang Changyuan recorded the new results for Feng Ye in the notebook, and the number of enemies recorded by Feng Ye also came to thirty-four, and there was still a long way to go before his hundred, which was the reason why he owed too much debt before.
"Tonight's counteroffensive, the 74th Army has all arrived on the battlefield, they have Luodian to attack, we continue to attack from the southeast; The attack was launched at eight o'clock in the evening, and the task of our brigade was to attack Luodian along the line of Jinjiazhai and Gaojiazhai. β
At the regimental headquarters of the 62nd Regiment, Yu Ziwen was assigning tasks, and now the entire 62nd Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and only the battalion was attacked, and the first battalion was given the task of attacking and advancing in the middle, the second battalion on the left flank, and the third battalion on the right flank, and behind it were the troops directly under the regiment headquarters, ready to reinforce at any time.
"Counterattack tonight, the order has come down, after eating, each company will receive ammunition, bring more, it's still the old rule, Zhao Liang, you take a company to the head, after you break through the devil's position, the second company will attack interspersed, and the third company is responsible for carrying all the heavy firepower to follow up and cover."
For Zhang Changyuan, the order is much simpler, as for the heavy firepower he said, it is actually the only two remaining heavy machine guns of the first battalion, as a descendant unit, they originally had three heavy machine guns, and after entering the Songhu battlefield, they also added two, but the rest of the heavy machine guns were lost in the devil's artillery fire, and these two heavy machine guns were saved by Zhang Changyuan with the lives of the brothers.
Why is it to save your life? Because he strictly forbade heavy machine gun fire, and the position was held by rifles and Czechs in the hands of the brothers, the devil's artillery could not be found, so it was naturally preserved.
The attack under the dark night is considered the killer weapon of the Chinese army, and the devils naturally know that there is a shortage of troops in the Luodian area now, and at night, the devils simply retreat into the key point of the defense to defend in a group to prevent the Chinese army from breaking through.
"Put down the ammunition box and let the people of the three companies behind carry it, and we will attack the fortifications and go into battle lightly!"
Zhao Liang stopped the brothers' resistance to the ammunition box, each brother only brought four grenades and a hundred rounds of ammunition, the condition of the first company was actually not as good as Zhang Changyuan thought, plus the remaining seven people of the Dare to Die Company, they only had a total strength of more than sixty troops, and this was still the situation that there was no attrition in the two days of fighting.
After fighting repeatedly in the Luodian area for several days, the brothers who are still alive are terrible in terms of tactical literacy and luck, otherwise they would not be able to walk in the attacking queue so completely.
"Spread out!"
Zhao Liang waved his arms quietly, so that the dense crowd followed his team to disperse, all the brothers consciously held their rifles, bent down and scattered, and began to move forward lightly, they wanted to take advantage of the moon before the moon came out to engage the devils, so that there was the suddenness of the attack, which was also their tactic without artillery support.
"Hey! Why are there no shells? I said that the gang of miscellaneous people in the mountain artillery battalion of the division headquarters didn't shoot a few shots! How did the shells make them run out? β
Zhao Liang muttered, not caring at all about the surprised eyes of the brothers, he hoped that there would be artillery cover, although it didn't have much effect, but it could at least give him a little confidence in his heart, before leaving, the battalion commander said that in the counteroffensive at night, the 11th Division would not have artillery cover, as for whether there was artillery cover in the direction of the 74th Army, he didn't know.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
β¦β¦
The artillery fire from the south quickly answered Zhao Liang's doubts, and the mountain artillery of the 74th Army began to shell, facing the devil's defense line in Luodian, where the poor artillery of the Chinese army dared to speak at night if possible.
The shelling from the side emitted light and heat, successfully drawing the devil's gaze.
"Hey! That's great! How is it not our own artillery support"
The brothers of the first company were envious, and at the same time stopped, looking enviously at the flames that erupted in the dark night.
"Don't pestle, there is artillery support in that direction, but the devils will be ready in that direction, and the devils' machine guns, grenadiers and support forces will also go there, we have no artillery support on our side, but the number of devils and fire reception we face will be much less. Let's go! β
Zhao Liang muttered, having fought on the battlefield for so long, his strength lies in the fact that he has seen a lot of battles, whether it is defense or offense, he is very experienced.
"Chen Hua, you take two brothers in a group, Min Fei, you go and get a grenadier to come over, are you accurate?"
Feng Yi remembered something, and ordered the big man Min next to him, not only did he lose the grenadier now, but even his baby machine gun was gone, and it was confiscated by Zhao Liang and confiscated, because there was only his Czech type left in the company.
"It's okay, but it's not as accurate as the devil."
The big man Min was holding a rifle as if he was playing, scratching his head embarrassedly.
"It's a pity, the devil's crooked handle, even the bullets and guns were taken away by the people of the second company!"
Chen Hua sighed, the benefits brought by the escort convoy, the grenadier was returned to the battalion headquarters, and the crooked handle belonged to the second company, according to Zhang Changyuan's words, the first company also had a Czech-style support faΓ§ade, and the resources should be distributed equally!
"The devil's crooked trick, it's not easy to get it, the key is ammunition, our logistics don't have a bullet supply for that thing, it all depends on capture, and it won't last long!"
Feng Yi shook his head and sighed in a low voice.
"Brother Feng, hehehehe......"
After a while, the big man Min came back with a weird smile, the iron cylinder in his hand was the devil's eight-nine grenadier canister, and he also carried two grenade belts on his back, Feng Yi knew that he got sixteen grenades back.
"Yes, Wang Jun, you are Min Fei's ammunition man, carrying ammunition on his back, you teach him how to put grenades!"
Feng Yi nodded, expressing satisfaction.
In fact, the grenadier that the big man Min wanted to come back was still fooled by experimenting with a better way of using it, because those brothers still haven't figured out how to hit this thing accurately, according to the way the devil uses it, as long as it is a target that can be seen by the naked eye, it can be shot into the soul.
