The attacking Japanese forwards seemed to have seen the tragic image of the Chinese army after they invaded the position.
The impact speed became faster, but the shells that followed were completely eaten up by them.
Each regiment of the Northeastern Army has an 81mm mortar company and a 37-meter artillery company.
When the defenders saw the Japanese troops coming, they couldn't care less, so they loaded the artillery shells and started to fight.
"Boom, puff."
The sounds of 81 mortar shells and 37 level artillery shells intertwined.
These sophisticated equipment made by Fengtian really made them happy.
Fragments were flying all over the sky.
The Japanese army suffered 30 or 40 casualties, plus the Northeastern Army had With the light and heavy machine guns, the troops in front were almost unable to attack.
The Japanese army had no choice.
If the artillery cover was still there, even if there were enough infantry artillery, the situation would not be like this.
"Retreat to the two wings.
The enemy's firepower in the front is too fierce."
The Japanese squadron leader on the front line ordered.
In the direction of the main position, the Northeastern Army fired artillery and guns for free, even with rifles.
The exhausted Japanese army began to spread out to the two wings. .
At Zhang Wei's independent company's position, there were not a large number of Japanese troops present at this time.
The Japanese troops were not able to attack all at once, but some skirmishers were slowly approaching.
The soldiers of the independent company were heartbroken when they saw how fiercely they fought in the position next to them. drum.
"The Japs are coming.
The Japs on the right collapsed this way."
Qiu Wei pointed to the opposite side and said.
Zhang Wei looked at the Japanese army on the opposite side.
It was about a hundred meters away from him, which was exactly the shooting distance.
The 37th Artillery Squadron of the Northeast Army next to him was also He pulled the match cord and prepared to fire.
"Move to the right and mass the attack."
More than a hundred Japanese troops, a squadron of troops, retreated from the front of the Northeastern Army position.
Seeing that there was no movement in Zhang Wei's independent company position, these more than a hundred people moved Come over, and soon, a squadron quickly completed the formation change and spread out in front of the independent company's position.
There was a dry trench on the left front of the independent company.
Zhang Wei looked at the dry trench.
It was deep enough and connected to the flat ground.
The Japanese army would definitely use it.
As expected, part of the Japanese army separated from the front and entered the trench.
Zhang Wei's independent company had already prepared for battle.
The Japanese army's charge was not fast and they charged forward at a relatively slow speed.
"Follow my order and fire.
Remember, hit the charging infantry first, and the friendly artillery will also hit the infantry.
Don't worry about those in the ditch.
Wait for my order and then deal with them."
"Yes" everyone replied in unison, and went down to their respective platoons to direct the battle.
The artillery squad of the Northeastern Army beside Zhang Wei began to adjust the firing angle.
As the handwheel slid down, the elevation angle of the artillery was adjusted to a negative angle.
Because Zhang Wei and his team's position was almost level with the ground, taking into account the height of the gun mount and bunker, the artillery shells fired It went out in an arc and had already been blown away when it landed, so in order to allow the shell to hit the ground and explode, the gunners immediately adjusted the angle to negative.
The Japanese army separated some people into the dry ditch.
Zhang Wei could guess their thoughts.

The Japanese army may have thought that they had great potential and wanted to use this broken ditch as a cover.
"Ignore him, prepare to shoot."
The Japanese army of more than fifty people was divided into four groups.
This was a typical unit assault tactic, and Zhang Wei and the others were used to it. scholar The soldiers maintained good shooting discipline and did not fire in advance.
After waiting 100 meters, Zhang Wei pulled the trigger first, and the whole company followed suit and opened fire.
The intensive surprise firepower surprised the Japanese army, who thought they could take advantage here.
The Northeastern Army's flat-fire artillery squad opened fire immediately after the infantry.
The 37 shells were fired at a negative angle and hit the ground.
The shrapnel produced by the explosion knocked down the surrounding Japanese troops.
The flat-fire artillery plus machine rifles were enough to withstand their attack.
Zhang Wei knocked down a Japanese soldier, and now the Japanese army was forced to stop, shooting on the spot, trying to advance.
The smoke generated by the firing of the 37th level artillery squad exposed the position of the artillery squad.
The Japanese light machine gun fire began to shift here.
The bullets hit this side.
A bullet grazed Zhang Wei's helmet and flew past.
He was shocked and crouched down.
Go down.
The artillery squad next to him was not so lucky.
Two soldiers were hit by bullets and fell to the side, lifeless at first sight.
"Hurry up and move the position."
The artillery squad leader heard Zhang Wei shouting from the side and quickly drove his men to move the artillery.
Zhang Wei also ordered the grenade to focus on suppressing the Japanese light machine guns.
The Japanese army was very smart in their crooked moves.
After firing a bomb He moved his position as soon as he was fighting, and in the end, four or five grenade launchers stared at it at the same time to prevent him from running away.
After a fierce battle, less than 20 of the more than 50 Japanese soldiers who suffered fierce counterattacks were left.
Zhang Wei directed the counterattack while staring at the Japanese soldiers in the trench.
The 40 or so Japanese soldiers in the trench remained motionless.
"Attention everyone, after repelling these Japs, carry out blockade fire on the dry trench."
As expected, the Japanese troops on the front retreated backwards.
Wherever they retreated was naturally the dry trench closest to them and the "safest".
The independent company responded with a burst of gunfire and artillery fire to the retreating Japanese troops.
There was a detachment of more than a dozen Japanese troops at the front who did not retreat.
It seemed that they stayed behind to cover and suppress them.
The covering fire of these dozen Japanese troops killed and injured many officers and soldiers of the independent company.
Zhang Wei came to the 37th level artillery squad, and they were preparing to shoot after moving their positions.
"Hit the Japanese troops who stayed behind to cover them, and don't worry about those who ran away."
"Okay."
With the assistance of Zhang Wei, the 37th artillery squad fired seven or eight rounds of artillery shells.
In conjunction with the independent company's rifle machine guns and grenade launchers, they finally killed a dozen Japanese troops who stayed behind to cover them.
When the attack was completed, Zhang Wei After a rough inventory, including those who were killed during the retreat, there were about 20 Japanese soldiers who escaped and were all hiding in the dry ditch.
Including the original Japanese soldiers in the ditch, there were probably more than 50 people.
When the Japanese army attacked His own position lost nearly forty men.
Zhang Wei asked the search team to go down and ask about the losses of each platoon.
More than a dozen people were killed and more injured.
However, due to the position, most of them were minor injuries.

He Kun's platoon lost a squad leader and was shot by three during the exchange of fire.
The Eight Great Gai penetrated his head and died on the spot.
What they have to do now is to deal with the Japanese army in the ditch.
The Japanese army still thinks they can give it a try, so they don't retreat at all and just stay in the ditch.
Unfortunately, today is different from before.
Their entire regiment cannot attack.
Moved.
"Order Qiu Wei's platoon and myself to take the 37th artillery squad out.
He Kun and Hao Zhong stay in the trenches and give all the grenades and light machine guns of their two platoons to Qiu Wei's platoon."
Zhang Wei said to the soldiers in the search squad.
The soldiers followed the trenches and informed the order.
The level fire artillery squad was quickly prepared.
Without unloading the guns, the whole squad moved forward with the guns in a low position.
Qiu Wei's platoon had no time to change equipment, so he simply asked for the light machine gun teams and grenade launcher teams from the other two platoons.
Zhang Wei led these dozens of people and slowly climbed out of the trench.
The soldiers carried out their daily training.
Zhang Wei walked in the middle to hold down the formation, marching at a low profile.
"Ah, my legs."
With a scream, the Japanese soldiers in the ditch fired, but only two shots were fired.
One corporal was killed, and another was hit in the thigh.
He fell to the ground and howled.
Zhang Wei tried his best Allowing himself not to listen, the wounded soldier could only stay where he was.
At this time, no one can care about him
