"Captain Zhang, the regiment leader asked us to notify you to come over."
"What's going on in front?"
Zhang Wei asked the signal soldier.
He only heard gunshots and explosions just now, and he didn't know the situation of the battle.
"The Japanese occupied a watchtower, and nearly a hundred people from the second battalion died before they were able to capture it."
Zhang Wei led the men of the independent company to run forward.
According to Chen Chunyi's consistent style, he would not call him unless there was an emergency.
When Zhang Wei saw the towering watchtower and the corpses of the national soldiers piled around, He understood that if his men had been there just now and used grenades to attack, so many people would not have been killed.
No one cares about the corpses on the ground.
At this point in the war, no one cares so much anymore.
There is no way to spare any manpower.
There are only a few skirmishers searching for weapons from Paoze's corpse.
In this troubled world, human life is as cheap as a dog.
What's more, the deaths of many of these Qiu Ba people are just a stroke on the roster.
"Independent company, run forward and catch up with the leading regiment."
Zhang Wei led the independent company and ran to the front.
Chen Chunyi and the 23rd Regiment needed fire support from themselves, to be precise, grenade fire support.
Seeing the end of the team, the officers and soldiers of the independent company consciously dispersed the formation.
In order to prepare for the search situation, Chen Chunyi walked behind the second battalion, and the independent company gradually followed behind the second battalion.
Zhang Wei The troops should contribute, but it would be too wasteful to lure the Japanese troops into firing.
"I just encountered a watchtower.
You saw it too.
Many people died.
It would be great if your people were here."
"Captain Chen, you just organized your troops and didn't follow up.
So many brothers died in vain."
"It's okay, let's go."
There was no blame in Chen Chunyi's words.
After all, Zhang Wei was a friendly force.
Fierce gunfire came from the distance.
Troops of the 4th Division attacked from three directions.
The gunfire slowed down the 23rd Regiment again.
Going further, Zhang Wei's grenade was not used, there were no watchtowers, and there was no ambush.
After walking for most of the street, I still didn't encounter any Japanese.
Anyone would find it strange.
The recruits dared to relax and rejoiced in their good luck.
The veterans only felt that the atmosphere was strange and held the guns in their hands tighter.
Now, in front of Zhang Wei and the 23rd Group was a market street, but it was deserted.
Most of the people had run away.
The place that was supposed to be lively was eerily quiet, except for a few ordinary people who poked their heads out from time to time.
Watching the advancing army officers and soldiers.
Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from the residence on the left, and soldiers raised their guns.
When Zhang Wei and the Independent Company saw what was going on, they quickly moved forward with Chen Chunyi.
When they reached the front, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a black uniform running out of the residence.
He was wearing what seemed to be a security guard. uniform.

Zhang Wei and the others did not go to the front.
The soldiers of the second battalion at the front captured the man.
For safety, the second battalion commander took him directly to Chen Chunyi for questioning.
"Who are you" "Boss, I'm a mine policeman.
Please help me.
There are Japs hiding inside.
Our captain led us down.
The brothers ran away because they didn't want to be poked in the back."
"Where are the devils and how many are there?"
"It's right there, at least twenty or so, in those houses."
The mine policeman pointed to the houses around him.
"Second Battalion Commander, clear out the Japanese in these houses."
Chen Chunyi gave the order decisively.
"yes" "Don't move, commander, let us use the grenade to blow up.
At least the brothers will die less."
Zhang Wei requested Chen Chunyi.
Chen Chunyi knew that Zhang Wei was doing this for his own good.
He nodded and ordered the second battalion commander to be alert on the spot and suspend action.
As a residential complex, the residential area in Zuojin is not large, with about a dozen houses.
It is very close to the troops of the 23rd Regiment.
The Japanese inside have not fired yet, probably because they want to bring in Chinese soldiers. , and then use their quality advantages and geographical advantages to kill the Chinese army bit by bit.
Humph, the wishful thinking was good.
At first glance, they looked like Japanese soldiers who had never been bombed.
They subconsciously thought that the small group of Chinese troops did not have team-owned artillery, nor did they have grenades and mortars.
Unfortunately, what they encountered today was Zhang Wei, the Japanese soldier was unlucky enough.
He killed two of the mine policemen who had just escaped and stopped chasing him.
Little did he know that the mine policeman who had escaped had already explained the situation in detail.
"Dong Erli, gather the grenade groups of each infantry squad, but I will plow these houses."
The infantry of the independent company was ready for battle.
Qiu Wei's platoon on the outermost side automatically lay down to defend in the direction of the residential areas.
At the same time, it was also preparing and covering for the concentrated grenade fire.
The second battalion was slightly chaotic, but it was also unfolding.
After that, they even advanced further.
As soon as Zhang Wei's cannon stopped, they were about to rush in.
Under the command of Dong Erli, the grenade groups of 12 infantry squads were gathered together and prepared intensively under the protection of the infantry.
The focus of coverage shooting this time was coverage, so the Type 91 grenades that were captured in greater quantities were used.
Rather than using dedicated grenades, the purpose of bombardment is to kill and drive away the Japanese troops as much as possible through a large number of projectiles, thereby reducing the pressure on infantry in street fighting.
"The grenades in the first row, the pulleys are adjusted to one level."
"Two squares in the second row, three squares in the third row and fourth row."
Following Dong Erli's command, a fire net composed of 12 grenades was formed.
This was something Dong Erli figured out by himself, and he used it to Mortar and grenade experience.
A few years later, when Dong Erli commanded an American 107mm heavy mortar to bombard Japanese troops in Myanmar, his experience came from this practice in Zaozhuang.
According to the order of the fire net, one row opened fire first, followed by the second, third and fourth rows. 12 grenades hit the houses in an orderly manner, destroying the Japanese strongholds wantonly.
After the echelon shooting was completed, Dong Erli fired another salvo.
After such an explosion, some houses have collapsed.

The Japanese troops hiding everywhere did not make a sound, but in fact they had already suffered casualties.
Some were injured by bombs and some were injured by smashing.
"Charge" The second battalion commander issued the order to charge.
The main attack company converted the team into a platoon-level column and entered the houses along the street.
The next step was very simple and clumsy.
It only required searching and clearing the houses one by one.
There were bursts of gunfire inside, and Zhang Wei stood outside.
This kind of battle is basically about winning by offense and defense.
It is very simple.
The Japanese army has too few troops, not to mention being bombarded by grenades.
It can kill him.
In fact, the troops of the second battalion were really collecting piles of corpses, cleaning them house by class, squad by platoon, and sometimes they were ambushed by Japanese light machine guns.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and with the explosion of a grenade , the second battalion finally solved the remaining enemy.
A noncommissioned officer with a light machine gun and rifle blocked the attack of a platoon of the Second Battalion and knocked down nearly twenty Chinese soldiers.
Finally, the people of the Second Battalion took advantage of the Japanese army's lack of ammunition and threw seven bullets inside.
It took eight grenades to kill the last person who was stubbornly resisting.
When the second battalion's attack force came out, there were only a hundred people left in the one and a half company attack force. s: Multiple support for t190131x80t:
