Chapter 257: Return to the Assault Column


Perhaps the Japanese army was also hurt by the beating.

After capturing the Japanese position, the Japanese army did not launch a surprise attack on the lost position in the middle of the night.

Instead, they stayed there all night.

The Japanese army was also seriously injured in the fierce battle.

It was a pity to prepare The soldiers in the battalion worked hard all night, which made many of them exhausted.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Wei was awakened by his own messenger.

The reason why he woke up was not because of anything else, but because of the transfer orders coming from above.

Zhang Wei and others sent people to report the battle losses and results overnight, and reported to Qiu Qingquan and the 276th Regiment once each.

In the morning, the transfer orders came. , first praised himself and said some polite words, and then ordered the preparation battalion to return to the organization of an assault column and no longer be assigned to the 46th Division for combat.

Zhang Wei read the transferred order document.

The person who brought the document was from the 276th Regiment of the 46th Division.

The words of commendation and encouragement in the document were of little value.

It was written by the 46th Division Headquarters.

At first glance, it was useless nonsense. , such as "The battalion fought bravely, achieved great results, defeated the enemy, etc.", The subsequent transfer was the highlight of the document.

The transfer order was drafted by Qiu Qingquan.

It specified the assembly point and required him to bring all the troops, equipment and reinforced combat defense artillery units to move closer to the 27th Army Headquarters, and Remind yourself to “be more careful” on the road.

Although the preparation battalion won the battle, Zhang Wei could also tell between the lines that Crazy Qiu asked him to retreat because he obviously saw too many casualties in the preparation battalion.

Crazy Qiu wanted to protect the preparation battalion.

After all, the assault column was only an organic infantry.

Prepare a battalion.

If all of them are used up, if the assault column encounters the Japanese army in the future, it cannot use tanks and anti-aircraft guns to fight the Japanese infantry.

Zhang Wei was quite satisfied after reading this transfer order.

Although he won a big victory yesterday, the casualties in the preparation camp were also obvious to all.

Now the whole battalion only has more than 200 people in total.

If he continues to accompany the Japanese in this kind of tug-of-war and fortifying battles, Zhang Wei will be close to being a bare battalion commander.

Moreover, the preparation battalion has been fighting continuously.

Last night, they were on guard all night, and the men and horses are exhausted.

It is time to rest and recuperate.

The order to assemble the entire battalion was quickly issued.

The Japanese position occupied by the preparation battalion was handed over to the two friendly battalions.

After a brief farewell to the two friendly battalion commanders, Zhang Wei led the entire battalion to withdraw from the position.

There were more than 200 people.

During the assembly and retreat, the number of people was small, but it also saved Zhang Wei a lot of effort.

According to the normal number of people, it would take a lot of time to assemble a battalion, count people, count equipment, and then set off.

The time is not short.

After the entire battalion was assembled, they returned along the original path.

Zhang Wei first went to join the remaining troops of the heavy machine gun company stationed at the rear, and then went to pick up the wounded.

After these battles in the preparation camp, there were many wounded soldiers, and they were all sent back.

For treatment at the field hospital of the 27th Army, Zhang Wei had to take these wounded soldiers away.

Soldiers who had fought and been injured were serious treasures.

After the battle defense artillery company that reinforced him retreated, he stayed at the original starting position.

Seeing the preparation battalion team retreating, the company commander of the combat defense artillery company hurriedly followed.

Zhang Wei stopped the troops and handed over the transfer order.

He became the commander of the battle defense artillery company.

"Chief Qiu's order has come down, asking us to go back.

Your company will follow our preparation camp."

The commander of the combat defense artillery company roughly read the transfer order and agreed straightforwardly: "Yes, sir."

The combat defense artillery company is mainly artillery and is protected by infantry from the preparation battalion, which is safer.

"By the way, how much did your company lose?

I was so busy charging and killing last night that I forgot to ask."

The combat artillery company was also attacked when it accompanied the infantry attack and attacked the Japanese fortress, and both artillery and personnel were lost.

"The casualties were not bad.

Eight were killed and eleven wounded.

All the injuries were minor.

We took care of them ourselves.

However, one gun was broken, the breech block fell off, and the sight and shield were damaged by shrapnel."

After the commander of the combat artillery company finished speaking, his face hesitated.

Zhang Wei felt that he hadn't finished speaking yet, with a tangled expression.

"Brother, say what you have to say, don't act coy like a pussy."

"Sir, I broke a cannon in this battle.

According to our rules, if the cannon is broken, you will be punished.

If the explanation is not clear."

At this point, Zhang Wei understood that the company commander wanted Zhang Wei to explain to him when the time came.

Although the combat anti-aircraft gun he damaged was due to battle damage, it was not a good thing to destroy the door cannon, and the country's It is not uncommon for many soldiers to discard their weapons privately and report them as battle damage.

The company commander and his superiors said it was a battle damage, but the people above him may not believe it.

If only Zhang Wei, the battalion commander, could help him explain, he would be able to "do everything fine."

"Okay, it's my job."

The anti-aircraft company had helped Zhang Wei so much.

It would be unethical for Zhang Wei not to help with this little matter.

Infantrymen have infantry rules, and those who play with cannons have rules for playing with cannons.

Infantrymen are taboo about throwing machine guns, and artillerymen are taboo about throwing cannons.

If you lose these two things, you can’t explain clearly, and the person involved will most likely be punished.

Zhang Wei doesn’t Knowing how to deal with artillery, if the machine gunners in the infantry squad discard the light machine guns casually or when the battle situation is not urgent and dangerous, only one of them will be shot.

With Zhang Wei's words, the commander of the combat defense artillery company was relieved of his mental calculations.

The combat defense artillery company and the preparation battalion joined forces and moved backward.

Walking on the road, the preparation battalion and combat defense artillery battery moved back in a marching column.

Now that the area was safe, Zhang Wei did not engage in combat readiness marches and search teams.

"Be careful!"

the soldier in the front row suddenly shouted, followed by the harsh sound of shells breaking through the air.

Zhang Wei lay on the ground, and the soldiers lay down one after another.

After a long time, there was no explosion or shrapnel, only bombs flying continuously in the direction of the Japanese army. black spots.

"Get up, it's our cannonball"

The soldiers walking in the front row heard the sound of shelling and subconsciously lay down on alert.

Zhang Wei asked the entire battalion to lift their alert.

The soldiers lying on the ground also understood and stood up one after another.

From time to time, some people looked up.

Just last night, after the preparation battalion and other units defeated a brigade of the 59th Regiment, the artillery units in the rear of the Chinese army began to advance like the infantry units.

The twelve German howitzers of the heavy artillery battalion advanced and attacked the Japanese 14th Division.

The core of the regiment launched an artillery bombardment.

This time the bombardment was far more violent than before.

Since Zhang Wei's preparation battalion and other troops captured a Japanese brigade position, the observers of the heavy artillery battalion could move further forward to observe and guide the heavy artillery fire.

In the artillery mirror of the observation troops, the core position of the Japanese 14th Division could be seen with the naked eye.

The twelve German howitzers of the heavy artillery battalion concentrated fire on the Sanyi Group position.

The 14th Division in the core position of the Sanyi Group was A sudden and accurate artillery attack hit the division headquarters and command structure of the division.

The headquarters of the 14th Division was hit by a sudden and accurate artillery attack.

The officers in the division headquarters of the 14th Division were killed and several others were injured.

The communication network was also damaged.

There was an interruption.

The Fourteenth Division has been fighting fiercely for days.

Today, when the division headquarters was bombarded, the battle was the most intense.

Since the siege, the cumulative casualties of the Fourteenth Division have exceeded 6,000.

For a division, It is said that the casualties were very heavy.

The Chinese army had to pay several times their losses in exchange for the current results.

The dilemma of the 14th Division forced the Japanese army to speed up operations in other directions.

On the Shangqiu front line, the Japanese army, which had been prepared for a long time, finally began an outflanking operation
