Chapter 509: Retreat to the Front


Zhang Wei in the trenches felt the fierceness of the battle after the Japanese opened fire, and as far as the eye could see in front of the position, it was all Japanese troops.

Fastest updates In the face of the menacing Japanese army, Zhang Wei directly threw a firing order to Qiu Wei, so that the troops could respond to the enemy normally, of course, it was not yet time to open fire, the Japanese infantry was loud, but it was very scattered.

The Japanese artillery bombardment was so fierce that it did not reduce the intensity of the fire in the slightest due to the increasing infantry intensity.

The positions of the whole brigade were bombarded, and Zhang Wei leaned on the trench and looked behind, and the rear of the position was shelled even more than the front-line position.

On the right side of the position, the original position of the 82 mortars was now a thick smoke, and the firing position left behind after the withdrawal of the 82 mortar platoon had been completely annihilated in the smoke.

It was obvious that through the morning battle, the Takeda Captain had learned a lot of lessons, and even the location of the mortar position was figured out, so he focused on strengthening the attack on the support firepower of the teaching brigade.

The soldiers of the first and second squadrons squatted with Zhang Wei at a glance, sitting in the trenches, some of them were hidden in the anti-artillery holes, and there were a lot of shells falling from the front-line trenches, but they were not completely unable to raise their heads after being beaten, after all, the mortar positions that had been vacated and the rear positions shared a lot of firepower.

"Ceasefire" The leader of the infantry artillery squad of the Takeda Brigade shouted between the two infantry guns.

The captain of the brigade, Takeda Masayuki, stood next to the artillery position, and after the infantry launched a charge, almost all the soldiers of the Takeda brigade went up, except for the Guyuan squadron.

Masayuki Takeda sat next to the artillery position.

The two Type 92 infantry guns under the infantry artillery squad had already fired forty or fifty rounds of infantry shells, the short barrel had already begun to burn, the empty cartridges were thrown to the ground, and the sandbags filled with sand in the firing position were blackened by the continuous firing of artillery.

The leader of the infantry artillery squad looked at Takeda Masayuki, the calm Takeda captain nodded to him, and a herald from the brigade headquarters quickly ran to the infantry artillery position.

With the advance of the attacking infantry, bombarding the position of the teaching brigade with a large number of artillery shells in the distance could no longer meet the needs of the Takeda brigade to conquer the position.

"The whole squad moves forward" The Japanese gunners of the infantry artillery squad dragged the tripod of the 92nd infantry gun, separated the gun carriage, and pulled the gun out of the firing position backwards.

The shield of the 92 rifle gun was removed, and the already light gun was further reduced, and the Japanese gunners performed their duties, carrying shields, shells, and equipment respectively, and the infantry guns with some parts removed were pulled forward by two gunners.

The rest, either helping to carry shells or armed with rifles, followed the artillerymen.

The leader of the Japanese infantry artillery squad waved the red flag in his hand and led the infantry artillery squad forward "Captain" Qiu Wei seemed to have been taken aback by the infantry attack and artillery bombardment of the Takeda brigade, or perhaps because his own firepower was greatly reduced and his confidence was insufficient.

The situation is dangerous, and no one dares to be careless.

So Qiu Wei took his company members all the way to Zhang Wei's side.

At this time, because the infantry artillery squad of the Takeda Brigade stopped firing and went forward, there were no more bullets on the position of the Teaching Brigade.

The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd squadrons consciously climbed out of the anti-artillery holes, made preparations for battle, and aimed all kinds of firearms in their hands at the front of the position.

At the same time, all the brothers could clearly see the Japanese troops attacking in front of the position.

The attacking Japanese army, still shouting and killing, Zhang Wei poked his head out, with a telescope to observe the enemy in front of the formation, the Japanese infantry compared to the last few battles, the number of people, but the formation is not dense, divided into several batches.

Among the Japanese infantry, Zhang Wei also saw several groups of machine gun detachments carrying 92 heavy machine guns.

The troops, firepower, and momentum are all extremely arrogant.

"Captain, the devil is rushing too fiercely, and there are more people than any previous attack."

Qiu Wei said.

Zhang Wei put down the binoculars, the Japanese army in front of the formation will soon rush to the shooting distance, the Japanese army's attack is strong, far beyond the past, and the strength in the hands of the teaching brigade is only two infantry squadrons in the position, only light infantry with rifle machine guns, grenadiers and grenades.

The vanguard of the Japanese infantry was cautiously leaping forward, and constantly observing the position of the teaching brigade, alternately covering, and gradually advancing, and several heavy machine gun detachments discovered by Zhang Wei were in the middle and rear of the infantry team, and the attack was very orderly, and the heavy machine guns were obviously used to strengthen the infantry firepower.

Zhang Wei thought of the care of the Japanese infantry artillery for the mortar platoon position during the shelling just now, and he was really a little scared in his heart, this was completely a tactic for the improvement of the teaching brigade.

"Qiu Wei, fire in advance, the devil's tactics must have been improved, we don't have any decent firepower at hand, fire early to resist them, everyone acts in unison, use the signal flare as a signal, and fire in unison."

Zhang Wei said urgently.

The Japanese army is not easy to deal with, and their tactics have to be improved, especially after observing the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, Zhang Wei gave up the old way of fighting, and instead thought of firing in advance, the purpose of he and his subordinates to defend the position is to fight the Japanese army again before retreating, and the purpose is to hurt the Japanese army once, and some old rules do not need to be observed.

"Yes" Qiu Wei called the squadron attached, informed him of Zhang Wei's order to fire in advance, and ordered him to convey it to the squadron leader of the second squadron, Mu Chao, the squadron attached, usually doing odd work, although it is an officer, sometimes it is a herald, the clerical officer called, the squadron attached to the order, quickly rushed to Mu Chao's second squadron, informed Zhang Wei of the order, and did not forget to remind the squad leader and sergeants of the first squadron to shoot in advance along the way, shouting at the top of his voice.

"Fire in advance, prepare to shoot" "Light machine gun preparation, prepare more grenades" All kinds of combat orders revolve around firing in advance, and with the notice attached to the first squadron, Mu Chao's second squadron also changed its usual tactics and prepared to fire in advance, and many soldiers took out grenades.

The squad leader and the sergeants also urged the soldiers to prepare grenades, without the support of heavy machine guns and heavy firearms, and the lowly brothers also saw it, the squad leader and the veterans were not fools, seeing that the shadow of the heavy machine gun and mortar platoon in the rear position was gone, naturally they had a long heart, Zhang Wei opened fire in advance, and it was also a good way for the soldiers at the bottom to prepare for melee throwing grenades.

The atmosphere in the position gradually fell silent, the Japanese infantry approached little by little, the soldiers of the first and second squadrons were ready for battle, quieted down, Czech light machine guns, Zhongzheng rifles and 27-type grenadiers, 28 grenades, these light firearms were all loaded in place, just waiting for the order to fire.

Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei were in the center of the position of the 1st Squadron, staring at the Japanese infantry in front of the formation, and beside Qiu Wei, the herald of the 1st Squadron held a military signal gun made by the 20th Factory, facing the sky.

"Captain, it's almost here," Qiu Wei said, the attacking Japanese advance had already rushed to within one hundred and fifty meters, and was still rushing.

Just a few seconds after Qiu Wei finished speaking, Zhang Wei shouted the order to fire.

"Hit" "Poof" The herald next to Qiu Wei pulled the trigger of the signal gun, and the signal flare was hit into the sky, flying into the air, making a sharp and piercing sound, and the signal flare was thrown into the air and slowly fell.

In an instant, starting from the center of the 1st Squadron position, with the two flanks of the position behind, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons of the Teaching Brigade concentrated their firepower and attacked the Japanese troops within 150 meters, and the battle began.

The weapons that fired first were the grenadiers and grenades of each infantry squad, 150 meters, which was not a distance that could shoot accurately, even for veterans who operated grenadiers and grenades, and the grenadiers of the 1st and 2nd squadrons followed the rule of concentrated shooting first, which did not change, and fired more than 20 grenades and more than 20 Type 28 grenades.

In an instant, the Japanese attacking troops felt a round of explosive firearms at a distance of 150 meters, and a single grenade and gun grenade may not hit accurately, but concentrated fire, dense shrapnel crossed each other, and it was also very dangerous.

In the first round of grenade and grenade attacks, seven or eight people were killed immediately, judging from the formation and firing distance of the Takeda Brigade, the grenadiers and grenades of the first and second squadrons played very well, even if the tactics were improved, and the distance and echelon were widened, the Takeda Brigade could not avoid casualties in the first round of attacks.

"Hit hard" "Three squads of rifles, ready, put" After grenadiers and grenades, the guns in the hands of the soldiers of the first and second squadrons began to wield, and the most basic weapons, rifles and light machine guns of each squad and platoon, began to play their due role.

The light machine gunners of the first and second squadrons pulled the trigger and strafed the Japanese troops in front of the formation, and the sound of shooting was not the sound of point fire, most of the light machine guns were firing in the form of continuous fire, without the support of heavy machine guns and mortars, and the attack was on the Japanese troops at a long distance, so the way of firing naturally changed, and 150 meters away, more bullets were fired with continuous fire, which was more effective than the accurate shooting of point fire.

And the machine gunners of the first and second squadrons are not stupid, the machine guns hit fiercely, but after one or two magazines, they will change positions and shoot from another position, the position of each machine gun is constantly changing, one Czech light machine gun per infantry squad spits tongues of fire, and after the explosive fire of throwing grenades and grenades, the bullets form a cross-blockade fire network.

"Put" "Bang bang."

A squad leader of the 1st squadron gave the order to open the password, pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand, and beside him, six riflemen followed him and fired in unison, and the six neutral rifles fired a salvo in a neat manner, and when the shooting was finished, the soldiers withdrew the cartridge casings and re-advanced the rifle with a 79-pointed rifle round.

"Ready, Ready" "Bang Bang Bang" was another string of seventy-nine pointed bullets that burrowed into the smoke of the grenade explosion and fired at the attack forward of the Takeda Brigade.

In the crisp and continuous sound of the Czech gunshot, there are many dull sounds of the neutral rifle, and most of the riflemen of each squad have adopted the method of shooting with platoon guns, under the command of the squad leader and veterans, concentrated aiming, unified shooting, the shooting accuracy of the rifle at a long distance is really limited, and if the riflemen hit their own, the killing efficiency will definitely be reduced again.

Concentrate the rifle with limited accuracy to shoot, in the era when the breech rifle just appeared, it was a very common way to play, until the First Sino-Japanese War, when the bolt-action rifle and the repeating rifle appeared in large numbers, it was an effective way to attack, at that time, the rifle, the gunpowder was mostly smoked, the shooting accuracy of a single gun was not high, and the automatic weapon had not yet been popularized, and the effectiveness of the weapon was not high.

Therefore, it is very common for soldiers to line up, or lie down in the trenches, and the officer wields his saber and directs the riflemen to fire in unison and return the ammunition together.

The current No. 1 and No. 2 squadrons are very effective in concentrating on the Zhongzheng rifles, although it is a bit retro, but it is definitely easy to use It was not the first time that the officers and men of the teaching brigade had fought like this.

Under the premise that Zhang Wei ordered the deployment to open fire in advance, the advantages of having more veterans were manifested, and it was difficult to teach the grassroots officers and men of the brigade to adjust their tactics in a timely manner according to changes in the situation, and to replace them with ordinary troops.

"Grenade throwing" A striker of the Takeda Brigade fired a shot at the position of the Teaching Brigade, shouting and throwing a grenade, but instead of killing him, the grenade he feared, flew off into the distance, landing and exploding, flying everywhere with floating earth and vegetation.

He was unharmed, and the grenade that missed the shot did not damage him.

Just when the Japanese infantry was secretly rejoicing, three large blood holes appeared in his chest, and then the nine-zero steel helmet on his head was also pierced by a stray bullet:
