The battle situation in Lunan has developed in a direction that is beneficial to the Chinese army.
The attacks of the 4th Division and the 52nd Army have been quite effective.
Unlike history, the 4th Division was not taken away by Tang Enbo as a reserve force, but all After investing in the counterattack, Zhang Wei's persistence in Yixian actually indirectly affected today's counterattack.
On the position, after the independent company transferred the wounded, the soldiers resumed their position.
On the other side of the second battalion position, the third battalion troops had just arrived to take over the defense.
After the third battalion troops, Chen Chunyi's regiment headquarters also They began to advance forward.
Directly opposite them was the main position of the Japanese 21st Regiment.
There were about a large group of troops opposite, and there was another group belonging to the 52nd Army that was responsible for the attack.
Now all the attacking troops had entered the position.
Waiting for the order to attack.
All the third battalion, plus part of the first battalion, Chen Chunyi and the regiment rushed to the position where Zhang Wei and the others were.
There was no time to set up wired communications, so Chen Chunyi could only rely on shouting and communication soldiers to issue and accept orders.
As for the combat order, Zhang Wei received the following order from the communications squad: take the attack of the 52nd Army as a signal and wait until the mountain artillery battalion of the 4th Division opens fire before launching an attack.
The order was not complicated.
Zhang Wei conveyed the verbal order to the ears of the four platoon leaders, and these platoon leaders in turn gave instructions to the squad leaders below.
In a short time, almost all the independent companies understood the timing of the attack.
In the Japanese position opposite, located behind the two brigade positions is the 21st Regiment Wing Headquarters.
Katano Sadami used the two brigade as the basis, and integrated all the engineers, baggage and service personnel into the combat units and assigned them to the positions.
For combat, necessary units such as artillery and communications corps are all on standby.
On the distant artillery position, only two of the four modified 38 field guns are left, and the remaining two have been hitched to the carriage.
The mountain artillery squadrons directly under the wing are all ready to fire.
The reason is that the ammunition of the mountain artillery has been running low in the past few days of fighting.
Now, on average, each gun has less than twenty rounds, while the field artillery has thirty rounds. , so mountain artillery must serve as the backbone of fire support.
When the shells are fired, these 41 mountain artillery will be destroyed.
The Japanese troops on the position divided the position into two groups with two brigades as units.
One side dealt with the 23rd Regiment, which was the troops of the 4th Division, and the other side dealt with the first part of the 52nd Army.
The Japanese troops on the position were distributing precious ammunition and Food, at this point in the war, everything was given away.
The Japanese soldiers kept complaining about the officers and those in charge of logistics.
Each person received only four or five rows of bullets.
The light machine gun was slightly better, with seven or eight rows.
However, compared with the consumption, these were indeed a bit stretched, and the wing headquarters Nearby, Katano Sadami had already walked out, and the surrounding soldiers and people from the wing headquarters were packing their things.
It seemed that they were ready to retreat.
Katano Sadami asked the artillery commander about the situation of the mountain artillery, and the artillery commander answered him helplessly.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, according to the normal rate of fire, the four cannons can only fire for less than twenty minutes."
"Then don't fire according to the normal rate of fire.
Delay the shooting.
It will be a big delay."
The artillery commander accepted the order and immediately ordered the communications troops to return to the artillery position and pass on the order to delay the firing interval.
Each gun must be as economical as possible. beat.
The Japanese artillery had to modify the interval time and cancel the salvo fire.
The four mountain guns and two field guns all adopted the free fire method.
Only the original baseline artillery fire was retained.
The remaining work was left to the artillerymen.
I beat myself slowly.
As a result, the Japanese troops on the artillery position became even more depressed.

The lack of artillery shells was already very frustrating, and now such an order would only make morale worse.
The main defensive area of the Japanese army is called Honglukou.
Unlike the Japanese army near Honglukou, the Chinese army on the opposite side is sharpening its knives, especially on the artillery position in the rear.
The infantry in front has gone through a fierce fight, and their morale may be reduced.
However, the artillery in the rear could not care about these changes.
They only knew that after the artillery bombing, the infantry captured Little Japan's position.
Since the beginning of the war, it has been the Japanese who bombed them.
Now you have blown up the Japanese.
Can you not be happy?
The 52nd Army Field Artillery Battalion and the 4th Division Mountain Artillery Battalion all advanced a hundred meters.
The artillerymen pushed the artillery by hand and fired the 75-caliber The artillery and artillery shells advanced for more than a hundred meters, then were reloaded and ranged, ready to fire those revenge shells at any time.
The counterattack was fired first by the field artillery battalion of the 52nd Army, followed by the mountain artillery battalion of the 4th Division.
This time the ammunition supply was generous, and each gun fired at least 20 rounds.
Zhang Wei and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Company were in the position.
Looking at the Japanese position in the distance with flames rising into the sky, many people showed "a knowing smile."
The flying shrapnel caused a lot of damage to the Japanese army, but the number was actually very limited.
The Japanese army's concealment and fortifications were dug quite well.
Several rounds of artillery came down, but they killed and injured more than 20 people.
They all used light and heavy machine guns.
Hidden under bunkers and sandbags, there were also some temporary fire points and bunkers built with wood, which were not spared from the devastation of the artillery shells.
After the artillery bombardment, the infantry charges.
This is an iron rule.
Different from the order of artillery attacks, the infantry of the 4th Division launched the charge first.
This time, Chen Chunyi personally supervised the battle.
The soldiers of the third battalion roared and rushed out of the position.
The independent company Not to be outdone, he launched an attack on the far right, with Zhang Wei in the middle, charging in from a low position.
As usual, when they rushed to a distance of more than 150 meters, the Japanese army opened fire.
The firepower of the main force of the Japanese army was indeed not weak.
Frontal and oblique firepower, plus the firepower from the temporary bunker, destroyed the national army in one fell swoop.
Give the offensive a hard push.
"Company commander, the Japanese firepower is too strong," He Kun shouted from the side.
Zhang Wei looked at the position and fired roughly at the Japanese machine gun firepower point.
As for whether he hit or not, he didn't know.
The bullets brought down seven or eight soldiers of the independent company.
"Organize the grenades and shoot them.
If you can't hit them, shoot them."
Zhang Wei finally saw the density of firepower of a brigade.
The officers and soldiers of the independent company immediately switched to prone shooting positions and kept crawling forward.
The grenade group I took a brief aim and started to fire.
Of course, the current situation does not allow it.
They aimed carefully, and the grenades hit the Japanese army's position, and some hit the front of the position.
The explosion caused a brief lull in the Japanese army's shooting and firepower.
The shrapnel hit several Japanese soldiers.
In order to fill the defense line, the Japanese soldiers behind immediately came up to take over.
After killing the dead, a firepower gap was created.

The officers and soldiers of the "Up" independent company hurriedly seized the opportunity to rush forward.
In order to lower the height of the firing line, the light machine gunners simply lowered the bipod of the light machine gun to shoot.
Zhang Wei was knocked into a mouthful of dirt by the shock wave of the explosion.
He could not see anything clearly in front of him.
He relied entirely on the suppressive firepower of light machine guns and grenade launchers to kill the enemy.
After hearing the sound, the independent company reorganized in the face of the Japanese firepower.
Two soldiers who had not had time to lie down were hit by machine gun bullets and fell heavily to the ground.
Zhang Wei put down his rifle.
At this time, he could only rely on the grenade.
Only the determination to die and the suppression of the grenade could defeat himt190131x80t:
