The 92nd infantry artillery was bombed again, and it was still hit by the heavy machine guns in the second-line trenches, and the frightened Zhou Pu lay down in the trenches, and not far behind him was the corpses of the guards.
A high-explosive bomb hit, and the guard's body was broken in two, his intestines were still wriggling, and the blood left from his lower body was mixed with the guard's backpack equipment.
The guards' shell guns were bloodied and torn.
Zhou Pu knew that if it wasn't for the machine gun platoon commander who pulled him away in time, I was afraid that he would have been like the guards, and he would have been a ghost under the guns of the Japanese.
Zhou Pu, who was busy deploying troops and firepower, didn't care much about the position transfer of heavy machine guns just now, and his understanding of "transferring positions" itself was not enough.
Thanks to this high-explosive shell, if it is a shrapnel shell, let alone Zhou Pu, all the machine gunners around it have to be made into a sieve, and none of them want to run Zhou Pu was born in the army, and although he had rich experience in warfare, he lacked a systematic summary, and he could not say that he could not understand the transfer of heavy machine guns, but he did not pay attention to it at all in actual command.
This cannon also taught him a lesson, and since then, Zhou Pu may never forget that the heavy machine gun regularly moves to avoid the artillery.
The firing range of the Type 92 infantry gun is very wide: the horizontal firing range is 90 degrees, and the high and low firing angles are almost 90 degrees, and it is not a matter of knocking out a heavy machine gun at all.
"Sir, are you alright?"
asked the platoon leader of the heavy machine gun platoon.
After all, Zhou Pu is an old soldier, and he quickly relieved himself.
"It's okay, thanks."
Zhou Pu patted the machine gun platoon commander on the shoulder as he spoke.
"Go, shift positions, keep shooting."
The heavy machine gun platoon commander and Zhou Pu continued to fight, and the tragedy was a momentary thing, and the battle still had to be fought.
After the shelling of the heavy machine gun position of the Zhou Pu battalion, the Takeda Brigade made a greater assault on the position of the Zhou Pu Division, and the heavy machine gun fire was suppressed, which meant that the suppression of the Japanese troops in front was reduced, and the focus was still on the trench that was almost broken through just now.
In front of the trench that was almost broken through just now, the Japanese infantry who had been suppressed became active again, and the Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground crawled forward little by little, and under the command of Cao Chang, they used grenades to throw grenades at the trenches in weak places, and the Japanese grenadiers also increased their suppression.
In the first trench, the national army had not yet reorganized its defense from the chaos, and the corpses in the trench had not been cleared, and the haunted Japanese army began the second assault twenty meters in front of the trench.
The first-line trenches did not have time to organize their defense, and the covering fire of the second-line trenches of the Zhou Pu battalion was suppressed by the 92 infantry guns, and the dangerous sections of the first-line trenches of the Zhou Pu battalion could not resist.
The dozen or so Japanese soldiers who broke through to the front broke through to the trench with a round of grenades as cover The right flank position was under heavy artillery fire, but the left flank position was very comfortable.
The Japanese wanted to use the line of fire to shoot at the teaching brigade and contain the teaching brigade, and the teaching brigade did not want to expose its firepower.
The battle on the left flank was close to stability, and the two sides fired at each other, and the two sides "had their own ghosts," but formed a tacit understanding on the battlefield.
At first, the Japanese army continued to send small forces to launch assaults, and after a few battles, they no longer attacked, but relied on the field and corpses to attack the teaching brigade on the spot, and the casualties on both sides were not large.
Zhang Wei was in the command post, paying attention to the battle situation on the right position, and he didn't have to worry about his own position.
The situation over there was not optimistic, and the sound of gunfire once covered the sound of the battle on the side of the teaching brigade, Zhang Wei picked up the binoculars, and saw that the Japanese army had broken through to a trench outside Zhou Pu's camp, and was about to rush in.
The first trenches of the Zhou Pu battalion were almost masked by the explosion of grenades and grenadiers.
This scene is not a good thing, the first line of trenches of friendly forces, Zhang Wei can't see the organized resistance in many trenches at all, and the second-line trenches behind are also very badly bombed.
The purpose of the existence of the second-line position is mainly to block the attack, not to kill or injure the Japanese army, but the bottom line is that it cannot be broken.
Judging from the approximate strength of the Japanese army's attack on the position of the Zhou Pu battalion, it is a squadron-level unit at least, and there is artillery and machine gun cover behind it Comparing the combat effectiveness of a squadron and a battalion of the national army, Zhang Wei knows exactly what this means, if it is entered, it may not be possible to defeat Zhou Pu's battalion, but it is impossible for Zhou Pu's battalion to recapture its position, and the second-line position and even the ambush plan will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
It is necessary to support friendly forces, Zhang Wei gave an order to the mortar platoon of the heavy fire squadron in advance, pay more attention to the battle on the friendly side, and now it is time for them to come in handy.
"Tell Squadron Commander Lee and the mortar platoon of the heavy fire squadron to fully support friendly positions" Zhang Wei said to the herald.
The messengers on standby received the order, immediately rushed out of the command post, threw off their legs and ran to the mortar platoon, commanding and communicating by mouth and legs, Zhang Wei's three messengers all practiced the ability to quickly repeat orders with iron feet, sometimes they may not be able to understand what Zhang Wei said, but they can repeat the order to the recipient word for word.
The second-line position of the teaching brigade was now very safe, and it took a minute for the herald to convey the order for fire support to Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy fire squadron, and Dong Erli, the platoon leader of the 82nd Mortar Platoon.
Because Zhang Wei had emphasized paying attention to reinforcing friendly forces before the battle began, Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy fire squadron, personally took the 82nd mortar platoon, and Dong Erli, the commander of the 82nd mortar platoon, arranged the 82nd mortar platoon in the rightmost position of the teaching brigade.
Two 82 mortars have been calibrated in advance to shoot Zhuyuan.
Li Shaoyan and Dong Erli squatted in the circular firing position of the mortar, and as soon as Zhang Wei's order arrived, the two personally observed and prepared to launch.
"Platoon Commander Dong, let's fire, you will command the artillery" Although Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy firepower squadron, said that he had a high military rank, he was born in the communications department, and he personally went to the mortar platoon to strengthen the assistance command, so naturally he would not interfere with Dong Erli's command and shooting.
"Yes" Dong Erli happily put down the binoculars and took a few looks, he had already done a good job of the range of firepower, and the support for the infantry was within the responsibility of the mortar platoon, and Dong Erli had also practiced excellent artillery observation ability.
His target was set in front of the first trench of the Zhou Pu battalion, and there were already sporadic Japanese troops breaking into the front-line trenches of the Zhou Pu battalion, Dong Erli planned to use rapid fire to create a fire cutoff, and then expand back to suppress the pace of the Japanese attack.
"Target, Japanese infantry in front of friendly positions on the right, charge No. 1, four rapid fires" Dong Erli gave the order, and the red flag in the hands of the artillery squad leader behind the two 82 mortars and the gun commander was held high, and the gunners in the position were urgently operating the artillery.
The second gunner took the shell, palmed his right hand upward, held the body of the projectile, and inserted the wing part into the barrel in a ready-to-fire posture.
Dong Erli shouted: "Full platoon, ready to release" At the same time as the red flag fell, the second gunner let go, and the shells fell into the chamber.
The bombardment 82 mortar shell drilled out of the barrel and flew to the front of the front-line trench of the Zhou Pu battalion Read the URL:
