Chapter 121: Hold on
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom ......"
Infantry rush after artillery bombardment, artillery bombardment after infantry rush! This 10,000-year-old tactic is once again playing out on the East Coast.
The Japanese troops on the opposite side watched the attacking team in front of them be driven out of their positions, and in anger, they pulled out all kinds of artillery and relentlessly tilted the shells on the Zhongba beach. The Japanese troops who were still crossing the river also buried their heads and rowed hard, rushing to the east bank as fast as they could.
Thanks to the fact that they did not have time to build a pontoon bridge, they could transport at most one squadron of soldiers at a time by relying on simple rafts, otherwise the two infantry brigades that had been waiting on the west bank for a long time would charge together, and Chen Jize would not be able to stop them.
But under the heavy shelling, the soldiers of the third battalion of the Sichuan Army were hiding in the trenches in embarrassment, and the shells on their heads kept exploding, and from time to time they would take away a few guys who were unlucky.
"Brother, you take your soldiers to withdraw from the position first, especially the group of soldiers who have fled, you have to restrain them well, lest something go wrong again after a while, affecting our army!"
Chen Jize shrank in the trench and shouted loudly to Fan Xiangwu next to him. He was worried that the gang would not be able to withstand the Japanese artillery fire later, so he turned around and ran.
"Okay, I'll go down first, hum the third battalion commander of the donkey day, Lao Tzu is about to clean him up. Let's go! ”
After Fan Xiangwu left, Chen Jize called a herald:
"Tell the brothers to lie down, put the little devils closer and fight again, their artillery fire is too fierce. Can't distance yourself from them! ”
"Yes!"
Chen Jize had already observed the circle, and his extraordinary judgment quickly discovered the problem.
The position of the 3rd Regiment of the Yu Division was sloppy and rudimentary. The defenders did not have a reasonable depth of position, no cross-fire points, and their lack of heavy weapons made it impossible to use firepower to defend their positions.
In order to improve the morale of the defenders, it is necessary to engage in melee combat with the enemy and mix with each other to reduce the artillery attack from the enemy's rear. It's going to be a tough one, but it's better than being bombarded with your head down.
This was also a helpless move, and the third regiment of the Yu Division was only demoralized under the continuous blows of the Japanese army's bullets and artillery fire just now, and the troops retreated. When the gap in weapons is too large, it is extremely unwise to shoot at the Japanese in front of the position.
The support behind is coming, as long as you resist this wave, I hope the brothers can withstand it.
……
At the same time, 5 Diamond T trucks were driving on the dirt road to Zhongba Beach, followed by a group of soldiers...
The vehicles were filled with all kinds of mortars and shells, and one or two 92 infantry guns were towed behind each vehicle. But they didn't dare to go too fast on this broken dirt road. I had to hang forward at a speed of more than twenty yards.
"Liura, the road ahead is not easy, you have to walk through. Alas, I say, you can still move, right? ”
Kang Ya drove the car in front, and said to Li Liansheng in the co-pilot while stepping on the brakes.
Li Liansheng's left hand was wrapped around his neck with a bandage, and there were traces of blood on the snow-white bandage. At this time, he was covered in grief and embarrassed, his pants on his thighs were tattered, and there was a circle of gauze wrapped around his forehead, and all the blood flowing on his face had coagulated.
This was caused to him by the first wave of Japanese artillery bombardment of Saiqipo. At that time, the artillery battalion of the Sichuan Army was blown up 2 infantry guns and 4 mortars. More than 20 artillerymen were killed on the spot, which can be regarded as a quick transfer, otherwise he would have to go to see Lord Yama by himself.
"It's okay, just stay here, it's enough distance from there."
Li Liansheng nodded in response. Turned around and pulled the door open and jumped out of the car. He was holding back the fire in his heart. The artillery battalion was bombed badly, and in the final analysis, the battalion commander himself was also responsible. If you don't give the little devil a hard blow, how can you swallow this breath!
He looked at the nearby terrain and saw a small hill directly ahead, and the side facing the river had a steep slope to withstand enemy shells. The terrain behind the hillside is relatively gentle, which is suitable for setting up artillery positions.
"Shhh...... Oops, oh my... Hold on to the point! ”
With the support of the soldiers, he climbed the small hill in great pain. Hold up the binoculars and look ahead. 3 km... Ok, the location is just right.
Zhongba Beach was now completely covered by Japanese artillery fire, and in front of them, the Japanese troops who had landed on the shore were organizing their forces to prepare for the attack.
It's too late to think about it...
"Hurry up and get the people in the back up, unload all the artillery, and spread out an artillery position under this hillside!"
"Hurry, hurry! The baggage company hurriedly pulled down all the shells! Kang Ya also jumped out of the car and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to come forward to help.
……
Mi Long and the third company were also hurrying to Zhongba Beach, and Cui Yong's heavy machine gun company followed. Because there are more heavy weapons, their speed lags behind.
As soon as he was halfway there, he heard the sound of fierce artillery fire, and the little devil's artillery began to rattle again.
"Oops, hey... Slow... Slow down, you can't stand it..."
Some of the emaciated sheep balls carried an ammunition box on their shoulders, and his rifle bullets and grenades were hung on his body, and the weight of his whole body combined with this heavy ammunition box made him really unbearable in this violent and rapid march.
"Sheep eggs, you shriveled calf, are you empty? Can't even carry a fucking box of bullets? Look at your senior brother, the box behind him is heavier than yours, and he doesn't have a pant, right? ”
Hearing that he was praising him, Dou Cake scratched the back of his head honestly and smiled embarrassedly.
Mi Long stood in the middle of the team, constantly scolding the troops to move quickly, although scolding the sheep and eggs, but still walked over and took the ammunition box he was carrying and carried it on his shoulder, and did not forget to make up for his ass when he turned around.
"The little Ga beans of the three companies, all run faster for Lao Tzu! Battalion Commander Chen: They don't have any heavy weapons. Let's go late, the brothers of the third battalion will suffer a big loss! ”
……
"Ha Pressure Library! Mortars set up, Oshima, with soldiers to charge the Chinese! ”
"Hey!"
"Five!"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The heavy artillery of the Japanese gradually stopped, but the mortars and grenadiers across the river continued to bombard the positions in an attempt to cover the charge of the attacking troops.
The little devil's river-crossing troops had already landed, and this time they gathered nearly a battalion of infantry and lined up several skirmish lines to charge the position, and the first attack echelon was more than 500 people!
The artillery shells blew the position into a mess, and the Japanese heavy machine gunners in the back row opened fire one after another, and a dense rain of bullets rained down on the heads of the Sichuan Corps.
"Woohoo... Phew"
The bullet hit the sandbag and popped. Chen Jize lowered his head and shouted:
"Don't fight back yet, continue to lie down and let the little devil get closer. Grenades ready! Listen to me and give them a counter-charge! ”
The firepower of the Japanese army was too fierce, and at this time they were attacking in the middle of the attack. The more than 1,000 old 79 rifles and a few machine guns of the 3rd Battalion were simply unable to resist. Only huge casualties will be inflicted under the bombardment of enemy shells.
He was ready, let the little devil come to him, the grenade opened the way and then rushed out for a 20-meter bayonet duel, using the numerical advantage to repel this wave of attacks and then retract the position.
60 m ......
50 meters...
The little devils kept getting closer, and the soldiers lying behind the trenches could even hear their grinning ghost screams...
30 meters... It's time for the location!
"Grenade! Throw! ”
"Whoosh whoosh...... Boom, boom, boom...! ”
"Sichuan Legion, charge!"
Hongmu, who was on the left side of the line, grabbed a rifle and was the first to jump out of the trench, followed by the fighters who rushed out of the position with loud shouts.
