All the Japanese forts were destroyed by combat artillery.
Eight forts were hit by combat artillery shells.
The building materials of the forts were blown up and left a mess.
The explosion of combat artillery grenades also ignited some logs, causing A small-scale burning.
Except for some survivors who ran out with machine guns, all the defenders in the fortress were killed.
The only surviving fortress defenders who were not injured was only a dozen people.
They brought out one heavy machine gun and three Crooked light machine gun.
At this point, all the Japanese defense cores were destroyed, and the preparation battalion paid a considerable price to defeat them.
One of the four combat defense guns that directly attacked the fortress was damaged, and the gunners suffered more than a dozen casualties.
As for the direct attack, The infantry suffered more casualties.
Before the anti-aircraft artillery fire, the infantrymen of the first company rushed upward with Japanese machine gun fire on their heads.
The bodies of fallen soldiers could be seen everywhere along the way.
Even now, the casualties of the first and second companies are still increasing.
The final focus of the battle between the two sides was the Japanese army's foxhole positions.
The first and second companies of the preparation battalion repeatedly attacked.
The Japanese army did not show any mercy and concentrated all its troops to defend the foxholes.
Zhang Wei fired with combat defense artillery.
The Japanese fortress was lost and the Japanese defense core was destroyed, but it did not mean that they They killed most of the Japanese troops.
There were not many Japanese troops manning machine guns in the fortress.
The Japanese defenders consisted of more than half of the infantry brigade.
Even though they suffered many setbacks, the skinny camels were bigger than horses, and they still had strength.
Almost all of them were strong.
All available troops were pulled near the foxholes to hold off the first and second companies.
The soldiers of the main attacking company had just suppressed a Japanese light machine gun group with their front legs and killed two Japanese infantrymen.
The Japanese came up behind them and fired grenades at the first company.
They came down several times, and the Japanese attacked the first company.
The people defeated the first company again, and the battle was extremely tragic.
First company commander Qiu Wei stamped his feet anxiously and personally led his men to charge once, but failed.
The entire battlefield fell into a stalemate.
Zhang Wei saw the scene of the first and second companies fighting the Japanese army.
He knew that the Japanese army would definitely hold on to this last line of defense.
Now, the rear mountain artillery shelling of the Japanese army's foxhole positions had long stopped.
No one dared to be so close.
To ensure that the artillery shells do not hit our own people, the firepower of the Japanese army near the foxholes can be maximized.
No matter how elite our two infantry companies are, they will not be able to attack quickly.
The average quality of the Japanese army is there.
"Withdraw the combat defense artillery first, and ask the Sanlianhe 82nd Mortar Platoon to follow me."
The combat defense artillery has done what it should do.
It is too dangerous to stay here.
For the national army, combat defense artillery is something they cannot afford to lose.
Zhang Wei ordered them to evacuate with the artillery, and then let Zheng Yiqun's 3rd Company and 82nd Company The mortar platoon moved up to reinforce the 1st and 2nd companies.
Zheng Yiqun's third company did not need to coordinate and had been protecting the anti-tank artillery near Zhang Wei.
After Zhang Wei gave the order, he helped the anti-tank artillery retreat while preparing for battle.
"Battal Commander, the 82nd mortar is out of shells, what should we do?"
Zheng Yiqun asked.

Zhang Wei asked the 82nd mortar to follow him because he planned to let the 82nd mortar come closer to shoot to support the first and second companies. charge, but now, Zheng Yiqun told him that there were no more shells "Damn it, why are there no shells?"
Zhang Wei cursed in desperation.
"They attacked with the infantry, and they didn't bring many 82 mortar shells.
They brought a total of twenty rounds."
Zhang Wei certainly knew that the mortar squad could not carry many shells on its own, and the curse just now was just to vent his emotions in a desperate situation.
Now that we can't count on mortars, we can only continue to increase the intensity of infantry attacks.
There are only three companies of infantry on hand.
If we don't tear apart the Japanese foxhole positions, everything we have done before will be in vain. , the Japanese army took the opportunity to launch another counterattack, and it was unknown how many people in their preparation camp could return.
"Zheng Yiqun, follow me with your men, can your men do it?"
The third company is basically new soldiers, and there have been many casualties in previous battles.
In defensive operations, the quality requirements for soldiers are not high, as long as they know basic skills By firing, shooting and bombing, a new soldier who has just entered the battlefield can hold on in the defensive battle.
Offensive operations will not work.
It not only tests the courage, but also the psychology and tactics of the soldiers.
Zheng Yiqun's third company is mostly new soldiers.
Zhang Wei originally did not intend to let the third company go to the front line to attack.
Now that the situation has changed, it is completely unavoidable.
Do it accordingly.
Zheng Yiqun glanced at the soldiers behind him: "Batalion Commander, it's no problem.
What the first and second companies can do, the third company can do the same."
Zheng Yiqun gritted his teeth and said, not only referring to the soldiers, but also to himself.
It's difficult to do this.
Zhang Wei handed over all the work to Qiu Wei's First Company and Mu Chao's Second Company.
Zheng Yiqun's military rank, level, and qualifications were the same as those of Qiu Wei and Mu Chao, but he lacked much practical experience.
When there is a task, he is always ranked at the back.
There is a balance in people's hearts.
Although Zhang Wei does this to protect him, over time, Zheng Yiqun will become unconvinced.
Zhang Wei's question makes him feel as if he is You Ruowu's anger was aroused.
"good" Zhang Wei looked at the soldiers of the third company behind him: "Brothers, the battle situation is urgent now.
The brothers of the first and second companies sacrificed their lives to help us destroy the Japanese fortress.
Now the Japanese are fighting with us desperately not to take down that position.
All The brothers died in vain.”
"Do you dare to rush forward?"
The soldiers of the third company might have never seen such a battle before, so they all hesitated.
"The battalion commander asked us if we dare to go up and confront the Japanese head-on," Zheng Yiqun shouted.
The loud shout of "dare" gave Zhang Wei's answer.
Although these soldiers were inexperienced, their bloody courage had been aroused.
At this juncture, it was enough to have the courage to rush forward.
"Okay, everyone listen to my order and rush forward to reinforce the first and second companies."
The "killing" third company was only more than 60 meters away from the first and second companies.
The soldiers rushed over with all their strength.
Zhang Wei, accompanied by a signal soldier and a bugler, followed behind the third company.
He wanted to What he did was to command the troops to tear open the Japanese army's positions and charge the front line with bayonets.
It had nothing to do with him now.
The first company attacked several times and suffered miserably.
The soldiers of the first company finally showed signs of exhaustion.

Individuals would be exhausted.
The Japanese army concentrated most of its troops near the foxholes, close to the desperate Japanese army.
Fighting at a distance is extremely difficult, and the Japanese rifles are accurate Indeed, the machine guns were flexible.
After each round of shooting, many soldiers from the preparation battalion fell.
Qiu Wei and Mu Chao both carried out direct attacks at the platoon level no less than five times.
After repeated beatings, no matter how elite the first or second company is, they will become tired.
When Zhang Wei came up with reinforcements from the Third Company, a platoon from the Second Company had just rushed into the Japanese position.
The soldiers rushed in with bayonets drawn and stabbed to death the Japanese soldiers guarding the foxholes.
Before they could gain a foothold, the Japanese soldiers The counterattack began, and the Japanese troops serving as reserves rushed over along the communication trenches.
Grenades and infantry artillery in the rear fired several rounds at the position that had just been captured by the Second Company.
The shelling and the reserve force's attack did not allow the platoon to occupy the Japanese position for five minutes before the Japanese counterattack knocked them out.
Kicked out
