The first and second companies were the first to break out of their positions and rush towards the Japanese positions with bayonets drawn.
As the two most elite companies of the preparation battalion, the task of direct attack naturally fell on them.
The first company took the lead, followed by the second company, and moved forward in combat formations.
Before the first company and the second company all rushed out of the position, the other troops of the preparation battalion would not move.
Only the two forward companies fully deployed to prepare for the attack of the battalion.
Only then will there be protection.
The first company that rushed to the front was the first company.
The first company was the strongest and had the most complete organization.
Three infantry platoons formed an attacking skirmish line in platoon units.
The first company commander Qiu Wei led the company headquarters to follow up in the center of the army.
"Quickly, disperse, disperse far away," Qiu Weiwei shouted.
Previously, he personally led a platoon to launch a feint attack.
The losses were considerable.
He had the most direct and intuitive understanding of the Japanese army's defense strength.
A platoon attacked with all its strength and still suffered casualties.
The disaster was disastrous.
There were more people in a company, and the density would only be greater if they were spread out in front of the Japanese positions.
And he kept giving orders and urging the company to deploy the formation as soon as possible.
After deployment, Qiu Wei still ordered the troops to increase the distance.
The original tactics and the distance between individual soldiers and squads made it difficult to advance in the face of the extremely dense machine gun firepower of the Japanese army.
He learned After learning the lesson of the first feint attack, Qiu Wei would only let them continue to increase the distance.
The squad and platoon leaders of the first company cooperated with the company commander Qiu Wei during the march.
The soldiers changed formations in response to the shouts of the officers.
Qiu Wei had conveyed the general firepower equipment of the Japanese army to each squad and platoon leader before the war.
The squad and platoon leaders will give the soldiers in turn.
The more veterans they are, the deeper their understanding of battlefield conditions will be.
Under the battle command of the company and platoon leader, the soldiers continued to increase the distance between individual soldiers.
In the past, the distance between individual soldiers was three to five meters, but now, it has continuously increased to four to six meters.
Between individual soldiers, the distance between combat groups The distance between infantry squads is increasing.
The cry of killing was everywhere, and more than a hundred bayonets were shining in front of the Japanese army.
Behind the first company, Mu Chao's second company had fewer veterans and less combat experience than the first company, so Zhang Wei placed the second company in the second echelon.
Mu Chao, commander of the second company, had tried his best to organize the troops.
Due to casualties and the quality of the soldiers, the organization of the battle formation was not as good as that of the first company.
The entire company only had two complete infantry platoons.
Mu Chao, the second company commander, knew that his company's combat effectiveness was poor.
In order to give the troops a good start, he rushed to the front with a Zhongzheng rifle with a bayonet.
The troops of the two companies deployed one after another and attacked the Japanese position.
The shelling of the mountain artillery in the rear continued.
The six mountain cannons of the mountain artillery battalion fired regularly to ensure that while the infantry of the preparation battalion charged, there were no falling bombs on the Japanese position.
After the Japanese position was heavily bombarded, the fortress as the core of the defense was not damaged, and the foxholes and some standing fire trenches were destroyed.
There were three Japanese troops stationed in the central fortress of the position, and a standard three-person combat team stayed in the fortress.
After the bombardment weakened, a Japanese rifleman approached the fortress's nozzle.
The smoke dispersed, and then there was a thundering sound.
With a general cry of killing, the Japanese soldier poked his head outside again, and what he saw was a group of soldiers wearing 35 steel helmets, carrying bayonets and rifles, charging over.
"Enemy" The Japanese soldier was stunned for a moment when he saw the infantry in the preparation camp, but his rich combat experience immediately made him shout out.

The other two Japanese machine gunners who were also in the fort heard the sound and pushed away the rear reinforcements of the fort.
At the risk of being blown up by artillery shells, they leaned down and walked into the traffic trench, rushing towards the Japanese army's anti-cannon hole fortifications.
Their task was to observe the situation in front of the position, and if there was any abnormal movement, they had to go to anti-cannon fire. hole and notify the main force of the hidden Japanese infantry to set up defenses.
Two Japanese soldiers rushed to the hidden shell-proof hole.
One of them was killed by shrapnel, and the remaining one risked his life and rushed through the traffic ditch.
The main force of the Japanese army and spare ammunition were hidden in the gun-proof hole.
Some machine gun shooters from the fortress also In the bombhole.
"The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking," the Japanese soldier shouted while running in the trench next to the traffic ditch, informing the Japanese troops in the various bombholes.
"Boom" the Japanese army rushed through about half of the trench.
A mountain artillery shell exploded next to the trench.
Four or five shrapnel hit his body at the same time.
One-third of his body was knocked off and he was killed.
After being hit, the Japanese soldier was still running.
He used the remaining momentum to run a few meters, and then his body fell at the entrance of a shell-proof hole.
The enemy intelligence report exchanged for their lives made most of the Japanese troops in the artillery holes know that the battalion was preparing to attack.
Now the Japanese army's position was being bombarded, and the Chinese infantry also came over, and all the troops were deployed to set up defenses.
There will definitely be a lot of casualties under the shelling.
If they did not set up defenses, the attacking Nationalist infantry would not be blocked.
The Japanese officers urged the soldiers to enter the position in the artillery hole and quickly set up defenses.
The artillery fire on the position was still there.
Although the Japanese army's fighting will was tenacious, the phenomenon loved this situation.
Japanese soldiers You have to hesitate for a while.
The bodies of the Japanese soldiers who had just come to report the news were still blocking the entrance of the bomb-proof cave.
The blood spurting from the corpses spurted onto the faces of several Japanese soldiers in the cave.
The Japanese soldiers were also human beings, and they also had new recruits.
Some people would be afraid of such a bloody scene.
Several Japanese soldiers in a bomb-proof cave ignored the shouts of officers outside and were stunned when they saw the blood.
"Baga, go and set up defenses!"
A Japanese noncommissioned officer held a Type 95 command knife and kicked away the Japanese corpses at the entrance of the cave.
He shouted viciously to the Japanese soldiers in the cave.
Several Japanese soldiers wiped the blood with their sleeves and took He picked up his weapon and got out of the shell-proof hole.
Several people did not leave.
Not far away, a cannonball happened to land at the entrance of the bombproof hole.
Half of the shrapnel penetrated the hole.
The body that fell at the entrance of the bombproof hole suffered secondary damage and turned into a pool of flesh and blood.
The Japanese troops who were the last to emerge from the shell holes were also hit in the back by shrapnel.
Throughout the Japanese army's position, under the constant bombardment of the Chinese army, the Japanese defenders drilled out of the artillery holes and hidden fortifications and entered the position under the continuous artillery fire.
For most of the Japanese troops in the position, this was a difficult time.
One shelling was the most ferocious shelling we suffered after the launch.
In the previous shelling, the mountain artillery bombarded the Japanese positions with a large amount of shells.
It was large and not very dense.
It only destroyed some simple fortifications.
Today's army was bombarded by six mountain cannons regardless of the loss of shells.
In the process of entering the position, Japanese troops were constantly hit.
A few shotguns It became the most effective weapon to kill the Japanese army.

The Japanese army desperately entered the fortress, foxholes and standing fire fortifications.
The safest place is the fortress.
Unless you are unlucky and shrapnel hits the machine gun nozzle, basically, as long as you enter the fortress, the Japanese army is safe.
In order to avoid being hit by shrapnel, most of the Japanese soldiers hiding in foxholes huddled up in the hole to reduce the area of evading bullets.
Even so, one or two people would still be hit by flying shrapnel.
The worst ones were the vertical fire fortifications.
For the Japanese troops behind, the only barrier was the parapet in front of them.
Apart from the parapet, their heads and backs were exposed.
They were among the heaviest casualties
