Chapter VII: Strangulation


With the volley of light and heavy firepower from the defenders, even if the Japanese army's formation was dispersed, they would inevitably be killed.

The dozen or so Japanese soldiers who rushed in front were instantly knocked down.

More people chose to lie down and shoot at each other.

The hillside The barbed wire fences and deer villages also slowed down the Japanese charge.

Some Japanese soldiers tried to march hard in front of these bombed-out obstacles. , a Japanese soldier got up from the ground, and opened up the Luzhai and the body of a comrade blocking the way.

There was a set of crooked logs and barbed wire in front of him.

He decided to take a gamble and jumped up in an instant.

He wanted to jump over, but when he found a few more bloody holes in his body, he knew that he had lost the bet.

The bursts of Type 24 heavy machine guns took away his life.

Zhang Wei held the 79 rifle and knocked down another Japanese soldier who was trying to rush up.

He found that it was a stalemate again.

At this time, many soldiers also understood that they should avoid getting stuck with the Japanese soldiers and shooting at each other.

They all took out grenades, bullets flew and shrapnel flew everywhere.

The shrapnel of the grenade killed several unlucky guys, and the smoke also reduced the accuracy of the Japanese army's shooting.

However, the Japanese infantry artillery and grenade launchers became more and more fierce.

Zhang Wei shouted: Be careful.

Another round of artillery shells.

The explosion hit the position, and a third-class soldier who was taking aim was blown into pieces.

The flying shrapnel hit his comrade again, and he fell to the ground helplessly, feeling more and more cold.

Two people from the third squad were killed in this instant.

Zhang Wei knew that this was inevitable, and he had no way to deal with the infantry artillery now.

"Everyone, pay attention to anti-artillery, and the machine gun team to pay attention to maneuver."

The firepower of the Czech and Type 24 heavy machine guns overwhelmed the Japanese army, but the Japanese infantry artillery also began to capture the machine guns of the teaching corps.

Zhang Wei knew in his previous life that during the Anti-Japanese War, the National Army lacked the firepower of flat-fire artillery.

The Type 4 heavy machine gun company is the only fire support The Japanese army was equipped with 70mm infantry cannons at the brigade level, which was equivalent to the Chinese army's battalion-level organization.

Therefore, the Chinese army often had very few heavy machine guns left after a battle.

However, fortunately, heavy machine guns were able to be mass-produced during the Anti-Japanese War.

It can be supplemented.

The third squad leader, Gao Yigong, put down the rifle in his hand and saw that two soldiers were killed.

In addition to the soldiers who were sent away with serious injuries, the third squad lost a whole combat rifle group.

Zhang Wei's pre-war regulations stated that a squad of 12 people should be divided into There are four groups, each with three people.

The squad leader leads the machine gun group, and the remaining three groups are the rifle group.

Gao Yigong looked to the left and shouted to a sergeant, "You guys go over and fill up their holes."

Without saying a word, the sergeant rushed forward with two soldiers.

There was another fierce exchange of fire.

The Japanese army also discovered the moving combat group, and rifles and light machine guns immediately began to suppress it.

The three were so pressed that they could not move and could only lie on the ground and fight back with rifles.

Suddenly, two 82-mm mortar shells were fired from behind a row of positions, and one landed near the suppressed Japanese machine gun team.

The deputy shooter who was loading the crooked handle was hit in the chest by shrapnel.

The other shot missed near the open space, but the flying shrapnel, smoke, and the pause in machine gun fire undoubtedly provided the three with a precious opportunity.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three quickly stood up, bent forward, and finally jumped into the A deserted bunker.

Zhang Wei put down his rifle and took out a grenade, "Brothers, throw the grenades together and knock them down."

The lack of artillery firepower forced him to make good use of all the resources at hand.

Thirty grenades exploded on the hillside.

Taking this opportunity, the entire platoon's light and heavy machine guns fired another round at the smoke, and screams kept coming from below.

Company commander Wu Zhong also cooperated very well and commanded the 82 mortar, firing several rounds at the first platoon's position.

For a time, the first platoon actually achieved a small climax of the battle.

The attacking Japanese troops were pressed to the point where they could not move and were beaten continuously.

Zhang Wei threw another grenade down, resisting the pain in his arm, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Brothers, work harder, they can't hold on any longer."

The Japanese troops on the hillside and at the foot of the mountain did begin to show signs of retreat.

The firepower of light and heavy machine guns and rifles became more intense.

This was a precursor to preparing to cover the retreat.

The Japanese troops on the hillside retreated in turn.

Some people were constantly being knocked down, but under the organization of the non-commissioned officer The formation is scattered but not chaotic.

Zhang Wei knocked down a machine gunner who was retreating with a crooked handle.

Suddenly, a wave of air hit him.

A shell hit four or five meters away from him.

The billowing wave of air knocked him to the ground.

The soldier was killed on the spot.

This was a 75mm wing gun.

Ignoring the blood flowing from his ears, Zhang Wei took out another row of bullets, pressed them into the magazine, and loaded the bullet.

This time he aimed at a noncommissioned officer.

The Japanese noncommissioned officer means noncommissioned officer in China, and The non-commissioned officer of the Japanese army means an officer.

The non-commissioned officer plays a very important role in the Japanese army.

Daily management and grassroots command during wartime must be completed by them.

This non-commissioned officer is holding a Type 95 command knife and directing the retreat of the troops.

The Japanese infantry detachment With this noncommissioned officer as the center, the machine gun and rifle groups took turns covering the retreat.

Although some people were constantly being knocked down on the way back, they still retreated down the mountain at a steady pace.

Kobayashi Seiyoshi is leading the retreat with his command sword raised.

He has been in China for almost half a year.

Today's battle is the strongest resistance he has encountered since the pursuit in Shanghai.

Looking at the bullets flying from the mountains and the mud blown up by grenades, he couldn't help but think of the nightmare in Shanghai.

Each and every Chinese soldier carried an old rifle and faced the fierce artillery fire and launched an attack on his own side.

He was able to repel them every time, but the corpses on the ground and the stubborn charges made him feel uncomfortable and chilled from the bottom of his heart.

Today, he felt this way again.

This group of enemy troops was completely different. .

Baga, speed up your retreat and ignore the dead.

Kobayashi Chengyi waved the command knife and shouted, but he didn't know that his head had been put in the sight of the 79 rifle by Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei pulled the trigger, and the bullet penetrated Xiaolin Chengyi's mouth.

The tumbling bullet of the 79th rifle hit his The face turned into a piece of rotten flesh, and the body fell straight to the ground.

The Japanese artillery became more and more fierce.

As the distance between the Japanese army and the 3rd Regiment's position continued to increase, the 38th Field Artillery Regiment of the 16th Division also joined in the shooting to cover the retreat.

Each shell blasted one crater after another on the position. , the soldiers could only seize the opportunity to retreat The retreating Japanese army's shooting accuracy has also been greatly reduced.

The heavy machine guns have stopped shooting.

After the fierce battle just now, the cooling water has been boiled, and the riflemen have gradually stopped shooting.

At the current distance, the hit rate can only be relied on gambling. , might as well save bullets.

The shelling continued, the Japanese infantry had withdrawn, and the teaching corps had repelled the enemy's first attack.

"Platoon leader, what are the Japanese doing and why are they using cannons to blow us up?"

Gao Yigong, the third squad leader, asked.

"Don't you see?

They don't want us to calm down if they retreat.

They don't want us to rest.

By the way, they can also reduce our combat effectiveness."

Zhang Wei reminded the soldiers in the first row: "Everyone should pay attention to anti-artillery.

Enter the anti-artillery cave and count the casualties.

Bring back the dead and whole bodies as much as possible, and leave the ones that were blown to pieces."

Continuous artillery fire fell on the position, and the first day of battle came to an end
