Chapter 317: Change of Opponent
In the ensuing attack, the Japanese 114th Division really gave up the defense line of attacking the paratrooper school, and even the Zhonghua Gate behind the defense line was safe, which could not help but greatly relieved the defenders defending the Zhonghua Gate.
But at this time, the battle line was not as good as here at Zhonghua Gate, and the Japanese Sixth Division in the west had already launched an attack on the Jinling City Wall.
On the positions of Qingliangshan and Shuiximen, the defenders fought inextricably with the Japanese Sixth Division. Because the Japanese 6th Division also lost its armored vehicles, the attack on Qingliangshan and Shuiximen was difficult, and the defenders were able to hold on.
Then, the attack of the Japanese 9th, 16th, and 13th divisions in the east went quite smoothly. In particular, the 13th Division, which was attacking along the Yangzi River, was able to receive support from Japanese naval warships, so their progress was relatively smooth.
Although the 114th Division stopped assaulting the defensive line of the troops of the paratrooper school, they turned to the defensive line of the 264th Brigade.
The familiar taste, the familiar feeling, the 114th Division, which was hit by the defense line of the paratrooper school, immediately found the feeling of attacking.
Of course, there are also gasoline barrels and cannons firing, but unfortunately it only takes a few grenadiers to blow up, and they don't go off.
Moreover, the shooting accuracy of the soldiers of the 264th Brigade is far from being comparable to that of the paratrooper school with sharpshooters and snipers.
The only thing that caused the Japanese soldiers to feel a headache was that the firepower of the 164th Brigade at this moment was fiercer than that of the fruit army they had encountered before. Not only did there be many Type 38 rifle shots, but also the two armored vehicles and tanks in the fort, which caused a lot of trouble for the Japanese army.
In addition, the trench system of the 264th Brigade is far from being compared with the improved trench system of the paratrooper school. At least in terms of the ability to defend against heavy artillery fire and strafe from enemy aircraft, it cannot be compared with the positions of the paratrooper school.
The Japanese chose the front of the 264th Brigade as the direction of attack. As for the line of defense guarded by the paratrooper school, it was not even touched as if it had not been seen.
But if they don't touch it, it doesn't mean that the people from the paratrooper school didn't see it.
The closest to the defense line of the 246th Brigade was Guan Shijie, and in order to be able to fight, their battle line was even more convex than that of the 246th Brigade.
However, at this time, the Japanese just did not attack the defense line of the paratrooper school, and even Guan Shijie was in the trench with a northeast accent, shouting desperately at the team attacking by the devils,
"You little devils, you have poured dung soup in your brains, Lao Tzu is here, attack here......"
However, the devils who attacked the positions of the 26th Brigade and the 4th Brigade would rather face the artillery fire and machine gun fire from the tanks, but did not attack the positions of the paratrooper school.
Through the binoculars, he could clearly see that the 264th Brigade of the 88th Division had actually placed as many as a battalion on the position in broad daylight. Although he was among the many trenches, according to Guan Shijie's understanding of the Guojun trenches, he frowned.
Hands wearing cut-resistant gloves, unaccustomed to touching the face armor. Not only could he not touch the beard he used to have, but he couldn't even touch the flesh on his face, which made him move his lips and curse,
"What kind of face armor, you are not allowed to take it off when you fight, the deflated calf, it is really special......"
The planes reached the position of the 264th Brigade, and several anti-aircraft machine guns hidden in the middle of nowhere counterattacked in a way that was better than nothing.
Medium bombers, however, carried out a covering bombing towards the positions of the 264th Brigade.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the 264th Brigade, under the bombardment of the other side, did not know how to drill anti-artillery holes. Even if the anti-artillery holes in the trenches of the Guo army are not as exaggerated as those dug by the paratrooper school, they should always be enough.
However, many of the people who were still wearing the clothes of the local security corps were running around in the trenches with their heads in their hands. There were even those who left the trenches and ran backwards before the bombing.
The bomb fell, and in the column of black smoke that rose, pieces of clothing floating in the wind rolled up.
Seeing this, Guan Shijie, who couldn't hold back any longer, waved his only remaining arm and slammed his fist on the sandbag at the battalion command post. A heavy sigh came from his mouth,
"Hey"
But he also knew that it was not only the way of the army, but also the practice of other warlords. They don't look at veterans or soldiers as consumables.
Guan Shijie was stunned that Guan Shijie did not see a unit like the paratrooper school that attaches importance to veterans and combat skills training.
Once when he met Hu Yang and the soldiers of the 87th Division under him in the miscellaneous barracks, he also smelled a trace of elite troops.
But since he met Zhang Sixing, he knew that the battle could still be fought like that.
It's not that everyone dug trenches and shot at each other, but - like punching, finding loopholes and slamming them at his vital place.
As the bombers retreated, the 264th Brigade reappeared in the movement of troops. They quickly poured into the positions, reinforcing the destroyed ones.
But before they could disperse, another whistling sound like a train speeding through the sky, and then heavy artillery shells fell on the positions of the 264th Brigade again.
He couldn't help but point to the position of the 264th Brigade and curse
"You ...... You don't know how to fight, don't you just let the soldiers die? Do you know that there are a lot of devil cannons, and even cat ear holes are reluctant to dig a few more? ”
Apparently it was the artillery observers of the devil's front who saw the movement of the troops, and then a platoon of heavy artillery came over.
Think about the people in the paratrooper school, not to mention the concealment of the military uniforms on their bodies, even the trenches are covered with rope nets. Even if it is blown up by the devil, it is just a matter of going the other way.
If you want to see the actions of the defenders of the paratrooper school from the surface of the position, it is simply not possible.
Of course, this is not all, he knows that the 264th Brigade also has steel helmet mines. That thing is almost a necessary military material for the Chinese army, and in addition, the 264th Brigade should also have enough porcelain grenades, so what will their defensive battle look like.
Under the continuous bombardment of heavy artillery, the 114th Division of the Japanese Army dispatched about a large group of soldiers.
It's useless to deal with a battalion of Japanese soldiers in the paratrooper school, and it is estimated that this will still cure the eyes.
So what will a brigade of more than 1,000 devils do to deal with the troops of the 264th Brigade?
During the Japanese attack, they encountered steel helmet mines, and there were a few that were not very many.
Didn't anyone think that the steel helmet was dedicated to bombing the marching brigade, so why not try to arrange someone to pull the ray.
Guan Shijie couldn't understand about this matter, although there was a punishment battalion in the paratrooper school, the 264th Brigade should not have it.
But Guan Shijie thought that if he directly ambushed a pistol battalion like he did when he dealt with the 101st Division, the devil would have to spend a lot of money if he wanted to hollow out the pits.
Especially now is not the time when the Gong wooden handle grenade is used, the grenade used now, or the earthen porcelain grenade that may flood at any time.
Put dozens of them in a pit, as long as the devil does not have a tank, it should be very difficult to break through a series of individual potholes.
