After the counterattack order was issued, the assault column was ordered to cooperate with the 46th Division of the 27th Army to launch an attack on the Sanyiji area.
After Qiu Qingquan contacted Li Liangrong, the commander of the 46th Division, and Gui Yongqing, the commander of the 27th Army, he ordered the preparation battalion to be equipped with the T26 artillery tanker.
Platoon, coordinated with the 46th Division to launch an attack.
"Hurry up, enter the position."
The main offensive task was the 276th Regiment of the 46th Division.
In order to cooperate with the regiment's attack, Zhang Wei led the preparation battalion and quickly entered the advanced position that had been dug long ago.
Due to the lack of infantry tanks in the unit, The task of coordinating the experience, guiding the tanks, and serving as the vanguard fell to the preparation battalion.
"All enter the position, don't spread out."
Zhang Wei shouted, and the whole battalion entered the forward position, with two battalions of the 276th Regiment on both sides.
In order to defeat the enemy in front of them, only one battalion of the 276th Regiment was left behind.
The reserve team and the other two battalions were all mobilized for the main attack.
The whole battalion was making various battle preparations in the forward position, attaching bayonets, opening grenade caps, etc.
The prepared soldiers lay quietly in the position, waiting for the order to launch the attack with the friendly troops on both wings.
Zhang Weiju With a telescope, the path leading to the Japanese army's position is easy to distinguish.
As long as you follow the place where the corpses are densest, you will find the place where the two armies compete most fiercely, which is the main position of the Japanese army.
"Battal Commander, I heard that the Japanese division headquarters is opposite," Mu Chao asked softly, lying next to Zhang Wei.
"Otherwise, what do you think it means to capture Doihara alive?"
"Don't think it's easy to fight.
Look at those corpses.
Let's rush over now.
We are only fighting the peripheral positions outside Sanyiji, and they are still far away from their core positions."
Most of the corpses in Zhang Wei's telescope were the result of several days of fierce fighting.
Fortunately, except for the most intense battle, the density of the rest of the corpses was not very high, and had little impact on the tanks and charges.
According to the battle plan, ten cannons could be fired at once.
The regiment will shell the outer and core positions of the Japanese Sanyi Group, coupled with the mortar firepower of the 46th Division, it will The Japanese army will prepare artillery fire in a short period of time.
All the infantry in the preparation battalion will launch a charge.
The heavy machine gun company and the 82nd mortar platoon will be left behind.
The 82nd mortar equipped by the preparation battalion is too heavy and cannot follow the infantry to launch attacks all the time. , providing fire cover.
Fortunately, there were six captured Type 89 re-thrown grenades in the company, which could provide fire cover.
"Battal Commander, we have contacted the friendly forces.
Once the bombardment stops, we will attack with the Charge."
In order to coordinate a joint bombardment with the friendly forces, Zhang Wei sent Qiu Wei to contact various matters.
Qiu Wei was from the teaching corps, so it was easy to contact him.
After consultation and coordination, the two armies basically determined the principles of the attack and prepared the camp in the center. , guided the tanks to launch an attack, and the two battalions of the 276th Regiment followed up the attack on both wings.
At the rear of the 27th Army, twelve cannons from a battalion of the 10th Artillery Regiment were arranged in sequence, ready for firing.
These artillery pieces were all German SFH18 types.
However, due to the range requirements of the Chinese military, all artillery pieces were The diameter of the barrel is thirty-two times, which is longer than the German standard artillery.
It is customary to call this batch of guns "thirty-two times fifteen centimeters heavy howitzers", or "thirty-two times fifteen centimeters" for short.
Due to the increased caliber, the range is 2,000 meters longer than the German 15cm sfh18 heavy howitzer.
In the battles of the past few days, the battalion of the 10th Artillery Regiment had fired a lot of artillery shells, and it was very clear about the location of the Japanese troops in front of them and the shooting elements.
Due to the distance, except for Sanyiji The enemy division's regiment headquarters cannot be completely covered, and all its peripheral positions are within the firing range of thirty-two times fifteen howitzers, so there is no need for calibrated firing.
The grenades have been loaded long ago.
The No. 1 grenade with a shorter range was loaded into the barrel.
The gunners closed the breech and completed the adjustment.
"Open all battalions" The commander issued an order for the whole battalion to open fire via phone, and these artillery pieces from Germany roared once again.

Zhang Wei and the officers and soldiers of the preparation battalion could feel the tremors from the ground even if they were lying in the trenches.
The 10th Artillery Regiment's firing almost continued without regard to the number of shells.
The mountain artillery and mortars of the 46th Division were firing continuously.
After the heavy artillery opened fire, followed closely by the artillery bombardment, and thick black smoke rose from the Japanese position opposite.
The Japanese position not far away was bombarded.
Although the fierce fighting in the past few days had allowed them to adapt to the rare and violent shelling by the Chinese army, the heavy artillery of the 15th generation still knocked down many Japanese fortifications.
The grenades exploded when they hit the ground, and the mountains The explosion of shrapnel from artillery shells and some mortar shells caused many casualties on the Japanese positions.
Many fortifications were collapsed and then attacked by shrapnel.
After about ten minutes, the shelling finally stopped, and the smoke was thickening on the Japanese positions.
"Get ready" Zhang Wei waved back, and the officers and soldiers of the preparation battalion prepared to crawl out of the starting position.
The friendly officers and soldiers on both wings also slowly climbed out of the position at the same time.
Suddenly a high-pitched charge bugle sounded on the position.
The bombardment ended and the attack began immediately after hearing the bugle sound.
Officers and soldiers of the preparation battalion and friendly forces please climb out of the position immediately and rush forward.
The three T26 tanks behind the preparation battalion position slowly accelerate forward.
When the infantry of the preparation battalion is fully deployed, these station plans will surpass the infantry.
Attack first.
"The whole battalion has a charge" Zhang Wei rushed in the middle of the team.
Among the friendly troops on both wings, there were also battalion and company commanders who personally led the attack.
The soldiers shouted and charged forward with their bayonets drawn.
While rushing forward, they continued to spread out and expand their formations.
Some company platoon commanders shouted the slogan "Capture Doihara alive" and led the troops to attack.
The morale of the entire offensive force was like a wild horse running straight towards the Japanese position.
"Spread out the entire battalion and let the chariots move forward."
Zhang Wei shouted, and the middle company quickly dispersed, providing space for the three tanks to move forward.
The three vehicles accelerated along the huge gap in the first company.
The T26 is a light tank, and the speed up is also fast.
Quickly, he quickly surpassed the infantry and began to exert the true power of the chariot.
Purpose, three tanks lined up in a row, directly in front of the preparation camp and 20 meters behind, the main force of the preparation battalion formed several skirmish lines and rushed forward, rushing forward side by side with the infantry of the preparation camp, attacking one after another.
Under the cover of three tanks, the skirmisher line attacked the Japanese positions outside Sanyiji.
After being bombarded, the Japanese army's position could not be said to be in a mess, but most of the original fortifications were destroyed by heavy artillery.
The Japanese army was disgraced and prepared for defense.
The Japanese artillery did not respond after the Chinese army's shelling.
The Japanese infantry crawled out of their hiding places and set up hidden light and heavy machine guns.
Some temporary civil bunkers that were not hit by the shells also entered the combat troops.
The Japanese army also had to take great precautions against this attack by the Chinese army.
The Chinese army Heavy artillery bombardments are not uncommon, but this is the first time such a large-scale and long-term bombardment has occurred.
The harder the explosion, the stronger the attack.
What's more, the thunderous shouts of killing coming from the distance have already shown that everything
