When Zhang Wei was preparing for battle, the main force of the second brigade of the 15th Regiment had already arrived at the offensive position.
At first, the whole brigade only sent out some skirmishers for reconnaissance, which were the ones seen in Zhang Wei's telescope.
When withdrawing, a large group was fully deployed. x A nearly complete infantry brigade, plus the attached infantry artillery squadron, with nearly a thousand troops, prepared for the attack in front of the preparation battalion position.
At the same time, the third brigade on the other side, as a diversionary attack force, An assault has been launched.
In order to contain the division, the Third Battalion dispatched two squadrons and pushed up all the 92 infantry cannons and attached rapid-fire guns equipped by the brigade.
After the artillery cover from the rear stopped, the infantry of the two squadrons launched a charge, and even more When it was tricky, the focus of the attack was the junction between the 155th Division and the 58th Division.
Another squadron dispatched a small number of troops to harass the 155th Division's position.
The defender at the junction is the regiment headquarters, regiment commander Cai Renjie.
There were mostly new soldiers on the battlefield.
Before the 58th Division entered the war, the honorary corps of the division was composed of returning wounded veterans and some strong men recruited from Sichuan.
There was no time to fully train, and there were so many new soldiers that it took a month for many soldiers to enter the army.
None.
"Don't mess up!"
the officers yelled.
Not long after the bombardment ended, the Japanese attacking troops appeared in the eyes of the soldiers.
The lack of training of the recruits saw the bright bayonets.
Some couldn't hold on and began to waver.
He was bold enough to shoot, but he was quickly scolded by the officers and veterans.
Even so, the sound of random firing of guns continued to be heard from the position.
After the Japanese offensive formation dispersed, they attacked with a wide frontal skirmisher line.
The light machine gun group, rifle group, and grenade group advanced in stages, and launched the attack under the leadership of the sergeant.
The random firing of guns did not have any impact on the Japanese charge.
In this case, the bullets fired did not even know where they hit.
And the distance between the two sides is getting closer little by little.
When they reached a shooting distance, the lieutenant commander on the position gave the order to open fire.
The soldiers who could not bear it anymore wildly poured firepower on the Japanese army, and the sound of rifle machine guns kept coming and going.
The intensive firepower caused more Japanese troops to fall.
After continuing to attack for a certain distance, the Japanese light machine gun team and grenade team immediately lay down and fired suppressively.
The light machine gun of the 58th Division was firing hard, and a grenade hit it vertically.
The explosion blew the machine gun into scrap metal, and the machine gunner was also killed.
The light machine gun continuously suppressed the front-line 58th Division position, and the bullets hit the In the trenches, several unlucky soldiers were killed Bullets hit the helmet and face, and he fell down in the trench.
The heavy machine gun position behind the first line of trenches was still safe.
The heavy machine gun was spitting out tongues of fire and swept away the Japanese assault rifle group.
It mopped up many Japanese soldiers and left them on the ground.
The Chinese soldiers cheered up.
There was a loud "boom", and a direct artillery shell hit the side of the heavy machine gun position, killing several ammunition soldiers and deputy gun commanders.
The Japanese rapid-fire artillery and 92 infantry artillery in the distance were focused on Heavy machine gun position, trying to destroy the pillar of firepower with direct fire.
At the same time, infantry artillery and grenade launchers also increased their firepower to attack the infantry positions, directly bombarding the trenches with grenades and shotgun shells.
Explosions and dead people filled the trenches.
Some recruits who could not hold back had a nervous breakdown and simply climbed out of the trenches and fled backwards.
On the way to retreat, some people were killed by Japanese artillery shells before they could get very far.
When the officer supervising the battle at the rear saw the new soldiers fleeing, he immediately led his men up.
His light machine guns fired at the fleeing soldiers, knocking them down.
He captured a few more and shot them with rifles, and then the position was restored to stability.
The sound of gunfire and explosions continued continuously, and the front-line positions finally stabilized and resisted the Japanese attack.

Of course, the casualties were very heavy.
The Japanese light and heavy machine guns and rifles continued to fire.
The falling bombs on the position may not be dense or dense.
It's considered violent, but bullets are falling all the time.
What is inconsistent with this is that after the Japanese infantry advanced and attacked for a period, they no longer continued to advance.
Instead, they lay on the ground and fired at each other.
This was also the most annoying tactic.
They would compete with you on their shooting skills.
If you hit the target, The Chinese soldiers in the position continued to fall, but the Japanese soldiers suffered few casualties in the shooting.
The first few Japanese soldiers were killed by grenades thrown by the soldiers.
After the bomb exploded, the Japanese troops behind them retreated one after another, trying to avoid the grenades without leaving the range of the rifle, and then exchanged fire with each other.
This style of fighting can be said to be disgusting and strange.
After a while, the mortar attack The artillery began to fire in support, and the artillery shells exploded in front of the formation.
The lying Japanese infantry fired back for a while, then took the initiative to withdraw from the battle and stopped the attack.
There were more than a dozen corpses left in front of the position.
This number of casualties was not high for the attacking infantry squadron.
At the same time, preparations for the second round of the Japanese attack began.
What the Japanese wanted to do was to contain the main force of the division with a feint attack.
There was a burst of cheers on the battlefield, and the Japanese attack was repelled.
For most of the new recruits on the battlefield, it was indeed worth celebrating.
Of course, they were more fortunate that they did not die under the bullets of the Japanese or the supervising team.
The attack on the junction of the 58th Division had just ended, and the sound of gunfire and artillery fire on the 155th Division's small-scale harassing attack came immediately.
The sounds of fierce fighting and shouts of killing came one after another.
Captain Morita Norimasa of the 15th Regiment observed the situation on the battlefield with an imperceptible smile on his lips.
The sound of fighting guns and artillery could not only be heard by the Japanese army, but also by Zhang Wei.
He was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat just now.
If his estimate was correct, the earliest encounter was to test the strength of each position. , although they repelled the attack, the Japanese army also knew their own strength.
Compared with the other two divisions, the assault column, or the position of the preparation battalion, was relatively easier to break through.
This means that the focus of the Japanese army's attack will definitely be its own position.
The sound of gunfire and gunfire that I hear now is probably a feint attack.
So Zhang Wei ordered to further strengthen the position.
Each light machine gun group must build at least two light machine gun positions.
After shooting a shell or being attacked by artillery fire or grenade launchers, the position must be quickly moved.
The same is true for heavy machine guns.
Digging more Alternate firing positions.
Order all stones and gravel on the position to be cleared to prevent secondary damage.
"Battal Commander, the Japs' skirmishers are always there, should we shoot them away?"
Zhang Wei was lying in the trench of the second company on the front line.
Mu Chao next to him saw the Japs' skirmishers coming and going, and was about to shoot them.
Drop them.
"Don't hit him, just leave him alone.
He's just a group of monkeys probing the road and testing firepower.
The earliest attack was to test our strength.
I still want to test it.
Now we are not allowed to fight back.

The guards sent my order to each company.
No one is allowed.
