In front of the Teaching Brigade, an infantry squad and two heavy machine gun squads of Japanese troops and the Teaching Brigade held fire at each other, and the Japanese infantry artillery squad, an infantry squadron and an infantry squad, and a heavy machine gun squad formed a strong force to storm the first battalion of the 65th Regiment of Zhou Pu.
Fastest updates On the battlefield, on the contrary, it was the first battalion of the 65th Regiment that was even weaker.
Under the cover of artillery bombardment and machine-gun fire, the Japanese troops who were mainly attacking Zhou Pu's position had already advanced within 100 meters, and the Japanese infantry artillery and various light and heavy firearms advanced in echelons, and the positions of Zhou Pu's battalion were constantly falling bullets at every moment.
The shrapnel of the 92nd infantry gun hit the front-line trench impartially, and the fragments that burst out flew out, and a scream came from the front-line trench of the Zhou Pu battalion, and even worse, several shrapnel flew backwards, actually knocking down two Japanese infantrymen in the attack.
The attack of the Takeda Brigade on the Zhou Pu battalion, which was a real infantry impact, followed by light machine gun bullets and grenades after the artillery was fired.
Of course, the Japanese army also paid a certain amount of casualties, and was killed by the 65th Regiment, and the first battalion of the 65th Regiment was a formed unit of the Fifth Army, and it was equipped with a lot of light and heavy firearms.
As soon as this round of shelling of the front-line trenches of the Zhou Pu battalion had passed, the brothers of the 1st Battalion of the 65th Regiment guarding the front-line trenches had a rare chance to breathe.
In a section of the trench, the brothers in their early twenties hid in the trench, holding their guns, and spat out the slag, and some soldiers saw the first brother and the stump killed in the trench, and vomited and vomited, vomiting and vomiting, and vomited all the pork and steamed buns sent by Zhang Wei in the morning.
"His grandmother's, platoon commander, the devil's cannon is fierce, and the gun is accurate," a sergeant scolded with a Zhongzheng rifle, not counting shelling, the Japanese platoon gun shooting also made them suffer, the sergeant is a veteran, but his soldiers are not.
The Fifth Army is a new unit, and the privates and even a considerable number of the first-class soldiers in the unit are recruits with no combat experience, and there are not many veterans who have fought in the first place, and they have to be given priority as machine gunners, grenadiers, and gun grenadiers.
The recruits were basically riflemen, and they did not receive sufficient training, and it was too normal for them to vomit on the battlefield, and they escaped shelling and died even more from Japanese rifle platoon guns and light machine guns.
The second lieutenant platoon commander next to the sergeant took a shell gun, stood up, leaned out of the trench and fired a shot.
In the trenches around them, the gunfire of the counterattack continued to increase, and the gap between the Japanese artillery bombardment was the opportunity for the brothers of the first battalion of the 65th Regiment to return fire, and the Type 24 heavy machine guns in the second-line trenches also began to fire after dodging the artillery.
After the shelling, the infantry charges, and if the infantry does not charge, it is the shelling, and most of them understand this truth, as soon as the shelling stops, the devil's infantry will immediately come over.
The second lieutenant platoon commander glanced at the Japanese troops in front of the position: "Let the brothers disperse, the light machine gun must be half a shuttle to change places, don't be confused again, disperse." ” The second lieutenant is a cadet who teaches the training of the brigade, and when he first goes to the battlefield, there is also a panic, but the live-ammunition training during the teaching brigade period allows him to quickly adapt to the battlefield environment, and his performance is not much inferior to the veterans and squad leaders around him.
But after all, it was not a real battle, and after the first gunshot rang out, I couldn't remember those things in the classroom at all, and it was only after the two sides exchanged fire for a while, looked at the Japanese soldiers, and saw the dead and blood, that the platoon leader's mind came back to his senses.
The gunfire in the trenches grew louder and louder, and another round of Japanese infantry rushed in, and the defenders in one of the trenches opened fire.
The platoon commander waved the shell gun: "Hit" The platoon commander took the lead, and his soldiers also stood up and returned fire with rifle machine guns, some of whom threw out Gongzao grenades.
The defensive zone of this platoon was quite easy, and in some fierce sections, the Japanese infantry rushed too close, and they were about to rush into it face to face, and some veterans who operated gun grenades in the trenches did not even have time to use their rifles to fire, so they took off the safety ring of the gun grenade, slammed it on the ground, and simply threw it out as a grenade.
The infantry of the Japanese attack, covered by heavy machine guns and grenadiers, marched step by step, and the sudden increase in squadron fire knocked down the Japanese troops in the front row, and the fire of a platoon of troops killed four or five Japanese soldiers, and the grenades thrown also stopped the pace of the Japanese attack.
"Da-da-da, da-da-da."
The explosion of the light machine gun sounded.
Under the command of the second lieutenant platoon commander, the Czech light machine gunners of the platoon no longer fired continuously, but moved regularly, reloaded, and fired bursts.
The change of position and the light machine guns after firing made it much more difficult for the Japanese grenadiers to shoot.
However, the grenadiers used by the Japanese to cover the shock infantry drove the grenades into the trenches, killing several riflemen who were shooting.
The Type 24 heavy machine guns in the second-line trenches hurriedly supported the firing and covered and suppressed in the direction of the Japanese grenadiers.
It is a pity that the soldiers under their command did not have such a high quality and training level as the officers and men of the teaching brigade, so it was still quite difficult to fight, but without these cadet platoon commanders, the battlefield situation would only be more unfavorable to the Zhou Pu battalion.
After the Japanese artillery bombardment, another round of infantry assault began, and on the battlefield of the first battalion of the 65th Regiment, this kind of resistance scene was everywhere in the front-line trenches.
Various bullets fired from both sides passed through the earth and rocks blasted in front of the 65th Regiment's position.
Zhou Pu, commander of the first battalion of the 65th Regiment, had already walked out of the battalion command post and was nervously observing the front-line battle situation in the second-line trenches.
The battle situation was urgent, the battalion command post was not safe, the Japanese artillery bombardment was fierce, and before Zhou Pu left the battalion command post, the command post was also hit by a grenade fired by the 92 infantry gun By now, the troops have been exhausted, and the Japanese army has a lot of troops, and only Zhou Pu roughly estimated that the Japanese troops in front of the position were enough to have a squadron, not to mention the infantry artillery and heavy machine guns and other covering fire units.
A squadron against an infantry battalion is very difficult for it, even for the Fifth Army, it is difficult.
A squadron of the Japanese army had more than 190 people, nearly 200 people, and it was not uncommon for an infantry regiment to fight with an infantry regiment in field attack and defense.
Of course, in addition to the Japanese infantry, the most important thing was the Japanese infantry guns and heavy machine guns, and Zhou Pu commanded several heavy machine gun shots in the second-line position, and was almost killed by the infantry guns Zhou Pu was followed by the guards, and the machine gun fire of the heavy machine gun company of the commander shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, step up the shooting, take advantage of the gap in the shelling of the devils to strengthen the firepower":
