Zhang Wei clenched the binoculars tightly, his heart ached incomparably, and the officers and men of the 598th Regiment of the 200th Division, who were attacking on the Luotang Heights, were suddenly shelled, and many officers and men fell in a pool of blood.
He Jinhai, the officers and men of the engineer platoon, and the officers and men of the 200th Division who were watching the battle around them all beat their chests and feet, and just watched as the brothers in front of them were killed and wounded.
After the officers and men of the 598th Regiment were bombarded on the high ground, several shells also fell on the top of the Japanese high ground, and these few shells came from the mortar battalion of the 200th Division.
It seems that he is unwilling to see his infantry being bombarded by the Japanese army, and the 82 mortars of the artillery battalion of the 200th Division opened fire behind the forward position, but it may be that he was afraid to injure his own people by mistake, and the 82 mortars of the 200 Division did not fire a few rounds, and a few shells directly missed and flew over the top of the Luotang Heights.
The covering firepower brought by the 82 mortar can only be said to be better than nothing, and the actual damage to the Japanese army is not great, only a dozen shells were blown up on the top of the Luotang Heights.
After the weak artillery support, the officers and men of the 598th Regiment who attacked on the high ground were still struggling to support themselves under the Japanese artillery fire and crossfire.
The heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army came from the rear of the high ground, and Zhang Wei estimated that the Japanese army was deployed in the anti-slope position, or the mortar not far behind the Luotang Heights.
Judging from the power of the shelling effect, the power of the Japanese artillery bombarded was greater than that of the 82 mortar, and nine times out of 10 it was a large-caliber mortar, and of course, it could not be ruled out that it was a curved 92 infantry gun.
During the shelling, Zhang Wei tried his best to calm down, constantly observing the Japanese defense, on the Luotang Heights, Zhang Wei saw a lot of blasted barbed wire, and many Japanese machine gun fire points could still be faintly seen around the outer trenches and shelters arranged in advance.
Regardless of the problems of the 200th Division itself, the Japanese army holding the high ground had a fairly complete defensive deployment.
"Damn, it's well defended."
Zhang Wei scolded.
On the heights where the scene was terrible, the officers and men of the 598th Regiment attacking the Luotang Heights were shelled, but they did not give up the attack.
"Brothers, Rush to the Center" A lieutenant platoon leader, getting up from the ground, shouted, and rushed out bravely.
Under the leadership of the lieutenant platoon commander, about one platoon of officers and men of the 598th Regiment withstood the fire of the Japanese army and attacked the top of the high ground, and at the top of the Luotang Heights, there was a saddle and the peaks of the high ground on both sides.
In the case of the overall setback of the attacking troops, this platoon of men and horses rose to the occasion and continued to attack under firepower, like a ray of light in a gloomy battlefield environment.
Most of the officers and men of the 598th Regiment during the attack were shooting at the Japanese on the high ground, but this platoon was the only one that bravely advanced and rushed forward.
The soldiers of this platoon rushed to the saddle of the Luotang Heights, as if they had learned the previous lesson, and dozens of people in this area rushed forward while scattering, killing very fiercely.
"Rush in the middle there" "Kill" This platoon of brothers rushed to the front of the saddle on the high ground in one go, and it was only more than 50 meters away from the front of the saddle.
The officers and men of the 598th Regiment who attacked were already in a situation of being passively beaten, but these dozens of people suddenly rose up and attacked a few dozen meters in front of the saddle of the Luotang Heights, and they were about to rush in.
The lieutenant platoon commander saw the saddle of the high ground that was getting closer and closer, his face was happy, and he snapped two shots at the front with a shell gun, and continued to rush with all his strength.
The same was true of the thirty or so soldiers, the saddles of the heights getting closer and closer, almost close at hand.
The soldiers of the 200th Division who were watching the battle behind the forward position also boiled, so much so that some of the engineer platoon soldiers around Zhang Wei also applauded.
Of course, Zhang Wei saw the rapid attack of this platoon of officers and soldiers on the saddle in the telescope, but seeing that these brothers rushed fiercely, they were about to enter it, but Zhang Wei felt that the Japanese army would never easily give up the defense of the saddle on the high ground, and there must be hidden firepower points.
The soldiers watching the battle around him applauded one after another, but Zhang Wei only felt that the situation was wrong.
The distance of more than fifty meters was too close for one of the platoon brothers in the charge, and in an instant, the lieutenant platoon leader led the charge to twenty meters away.
"Kill" A platoon of men rushed to the saddle, and the lieutenant platoon commander had red eyes and shouted to kill and rush forward.
Twenty meters, that is, the distance that can be attacked in tens of seconds, suddenly, the saddle of the Luotang Heights, which was originally motionless, three Type 92 heavy machine guns and three 11-year light machine guns, pushed through the concealment in front of the muzzle.
The muzzle of the black hole, and the improvised bunker under the cover, showed its fierce fangs.
"Da Da Da" Three Type 92 and three Type 11 light machine guns, six lines of fire crossed each other, forming a network of crossfire.
The machine guns deployed by the Japanese army in the saddle opened fire very late, and when they fired, the platoon of brothers of the 598th Regiment was only less than 20 meters away from the saddle of the Luotang Heights.
The lieutenant platoon commander who led the assault only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the 7.7 mm 92 heavy machine gun bullets and 65 bullets pierced his body at the same time, and he fell to the high ground with the spirit of unwillingness to follow the blood and bravery.
Behind the lieutenant's platoon commander, there was a scream, and the officers and men of the platoon attacking the saddle were all killed under the strafing fire at close range The defeat of a powerful assault was a doomed outcome for the officers and men of the 598th Regiment who were still struggling to hold on to the high ground.
"Boom Boom" Another round of Japanese artillery bombardment fell on the officers and men of the 598th Regiment, and the machine-gun fire became more intense; after this round of Japanese firepower climaxed, the officers and men of the 598th Regiment on the high ground had no possibility of making progress.
"Retreat" "Withdraw" Under the unwilling orders of the officers, the officers and men of the 598th Regiment, whose offensive had already weakened, once again folded their halberds under the Luotang Heights and stopped the attack on the Luotang Heights Zhang Wei put down his binoculars, the officers and men of the 598th Regiment on the high ground were retreating one after another, and the firepower of the Japanese army was gradually decreasing.
The heroic officers and soldiers of the 200th Division and the unsatisfactory battle situation made Zhang Wei sigh.
"Captain, the friendly forces are defeated."
He Jinhai said in a deep voice.
Zhang Wei shook his head: "According to this style of play, it is strange to win the fight, call the brothers, and prepare to follow me to the command post of the 200th Division."
Zhang Wei took a platoon of engineers and walked to the command post of the 200th Division not far away.
Zhang Wei came at just the right time, just in time for this attack battle, and witnessed the whole process of the whole battle.
During this short attack, Zhang Wei expressed his admiration for the courage and tenacity shown by the officers and men of the 200th Division, but there were too many tactical mistakes and omissions.
In this attack alone, the Japanese army's defense and firepower level were vividly displayed, and the tactical rustiness of the 200th Division was also undoubtedly exposed.
Zhang Wei now has a stomach full of words to confide in, and the object of this confiding is the commander of the 200th Division in the front command post.
Courage cannot be exchanged for results, and it is also a kind of helplessness for the officers and men of the 200th Division who are fighting. ：。
