Chapter 672: Change of Guard!
Jin Lisan's supplementary regiment has been training for a long time, and they are much stronger than those reinforcements pulled up directly from the rear, this is a line of fire supplement, which means that the moment these brothers are divided into troops, they will face the artillery fire and bullets of the devils.
Just like Mei Chunhua said, the battalion directly under it was only replenished with two hundred and fifty brothers, plus the remaining eighty veterans and officers, Feng Ye did not consider the others, and asked Min Fei to fill the command of the fire support platoon, and the reconnaissance company and the guard company divided the remaining supplementary troops equally, as for the baggage, engineers, etc., he could not take care of it now.
Feng Yi's troops have replenished the source of troops many times, but not long after each replenishment, the troops always returned to their original shape, but fortunately, the troops were not completely wiped out, and the troops were always able to quickly recover their combat effectiveness.
The original recruits became veterans, and the veterans who did not die became officers, Feng Ye no longer remembered how many times the squad leader had changed, he only knew that he couldn't even call the platoon commander's name in the unit that had just been reorganized.
Feng Yi took the veteran soldiers and grassroots officers as the skeleton, and after pulling the troops up again, he didn't care, how to let these supplementary soldiers integrate into the battlefield as soon as possible, it was the responsibility of the company platoon commander.
"Look, this is the way of stabbing in our direct battalion, the action is very simple, take advantage of the absence of combat missions, seize the time to practice......"
A veteran or officer with two supplementary soldiers, is explaining to them the stabbing action and coordination, as for shooting, these supplementary soldiers will definitely talk about the problem of marksmanship, and marksmanship is not something that can be solved in a few words.
After replenishing the source of soldiers, the battalion directly under it finally became a little more vigorous, this is a battlefield, not a training ground, but it does not prevent veterans from training new soldiers, the sound of guns in the ears is constantly ringing, the north of Biwang Mountain is in full swing, and all the supplementary soldiers are training in this environment.
In fact, the supplementary soldiers who are assigned to the battalion are lucky, at least they don't have to face the devil's artillery fire and bullets immediately, and they can also hear the veterans explain to them the common sense and skills of saving their lives on the battlefield; And those brothers assigned to the 61st and 62nd regiments, who did not even know their own squad and platoon commanders, were stuffed into the trenches.
One day on September 6, the southern slope of Biwang Mountain was very quiet, and there were no troops attacked by devils, perhaps because the brothers of the 30th Group Army on the flanks had strengthened patrols and reconnaissance, so that the devils could not sneak in, or perhaps because the devils knew that it was not so easy for them to sneak up on the elite of the 11th Division.
The fighting on the south bank of the Yangtze River gradually stabilized under the stubborn resistance of Chinese troops such as the First Corps and the Eighteenth Army; On the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Sixth Division of the Devils marched all the way, successively breaking through the defense lines of the 31st Army, the 68th Army, and the 84th Army, and capturing Taihu Lake and Susong.
The simultaneous attack on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River was originally a plan formulated by the base camp to quickly capture Wuhan, but the battle on the south bank, which was supposed to be the first to make a breakthrough, fell into anxiety, and the attack force on the north bank was not sufficient, which made the Japanese base camp feel unusual, because they did not want to turn this war into a war of attrition or a protracted war.
"The Central China Dispatch Army must organize a strong offensive, improve the current state, and quickly take the Wuhan ......"
"If the situation cannot be opened in mid-September, the commanders of the armies must explain the reasons to the headquarters and His Majesty the Emperor, and take responsibility for it......"
……
The telegram from the base camp made the commander Okamura Ningji more and more irritable and impatient, the base camp was expressing his dissatisfaction, if the war could not end quickly as planned, I am afraid that he would really face the questioning of the base camp, and the commander would not be able to keep it, so let him transfer to the reserve, which would basically announce the end of his military career.
"The 9th Division and the Pota Detachment must repel the enemy in front of you tomorrow and continue to attack westward......"
"The 27th Division must attack in the direction of Qixi with a strong offensive posture, occupy only, surround the squadron on the front line of De'an from the flank and rear, and cooperate with the 101st Division and the 106th Division to annihilate the ......"
……
The commander of the 11th Japanese Army, Okamura Ninji, began to adjust the deployment of the attack, and sent several telegrams to all divisions and regiments on the front, urging the commanders of all divisions to intensify the offensive.
In the face of the pressure from the commander, the commanders of each division held back the fire in their hearts and scolded the brigade and wing commanders for being bloody.
On September 7, on the front line of Biwangshan, the positions of the 11th Division were very quiet, but the pressure on the 30th Group Army on the flank increased greatly, and in the face of the attack of the Japanese 27th Division, the position continued to be lost, and the devils approached the line of the Ruiwu line.
In the 18th Army near the Ruiwu Line, Army Commander Huang Wei ordered the 60th Division and the newly formed 23rd Division to deploy along the Ruiwu Line and stand ready to prevent the First Corps in the De'an area from being surrounded by devils in a roundabout way.
The dusk smoke continued to spread on the front line of Biwangshan, for three days, the Devil's Ninth Division and the Botian Detachment attacked in turn, but they still could not break through the Biwangshan line, the 61st Regiment and the 62nd Regiment were used to cooperating, the devil's artillery bombarded the infantry charge, and the infantry rushed the artillery and then bombarded the tactics, facing the elite 11th Division, there was no way at all.
The 11th Division held on, but the 30th Army was already miserable, in the past three days, their positions were constantly lost, and the devils had exchanged fire with the 18th Army on all fronts.
"Didi ......"
The military headquarters of the 18th Army, Huang Wei has just communicated with the theater, he wants to transfer back to the 11th Division from the front line to take over the position of the new 35th Division, the devils have already attacked, he does not want the new 35th Division to become a breakthrough point for the devils, so that he will be in a hurry.
"Order the 61st Regiment and the 62nd Regiment to hand over their positions to the 30th Army and then withdraw to Tuanpo to stand by......"
In the face of the order of the division headquarters, Mei Chunhua and Yin Zuogan issued an order to retreat at the same time, of course, the 30th Group Army did not take over the defensive position so quickly, and it was impossible for them to abandon their positions and retreat directly.
On the evening of September 11, after the 30th Army and the 11th Division worked together to repel the attack of the devils, the brigades and regiments of the 11th Division officially retreated.
"Huhuhu......"
At dusk, in the dim light, the devil's retaliatory shelling still resounded in the ears of the brothers, and the movement of the explosion made the reinforcements nervous, and they had not learned to distinguish the distance between the shells and their own.
For veterans, they are much more relaxed, and after so long on the battlefield, if this is still not clear, then they have lived in vain.
"Take it easy, move at a steady pace."
The veteran squad platoon commanders relieved the nerves of the supplementary soldiers, not far from their destination, Tuanpo, where they went, maybe they could take a good rest.
Of course, the officers at the grassroots level will not know that Tuanpo is only a temporary foothold for them, and the division headquarters has already left Tuanpo yesterday, and whether they will set off for Ruiwu Road overnight depends on the orders of the division headquarters.
