On the battlefield, machine gun and artillery fire gradually thinned out, and the smoke and explosions after the Luotang Heights survey also tended to decrease.
Fastest updates "Boom" The frequency of mortar firing of the 598th Regiment has become quite sparse, and the sound of shells has changed from continuous to intervaled and air raids.
On the side of the 598th Regiment, the unilateral fire attack on the Luotang Heights also died down after Zhang Wei returned safely.
The 598th Regiment was the first to stop firing heavy machine guns on the Luotang Heights, and nearly 30,000 rounds of 79 heavy machine gun bullets were taken from the high grounds, and the 598th Regiment dispatched half of the heavy machine guns and machine guns to cover the fire.
Heavy machine gun shells and mortars hit the Luotang Heights in front of the extremely hot, which is also one of the reasons why the Japanese troops guarding the heights did not dare to act rashly.
The last round of attack before the ceasefire of the 598th Regiment was a round of shells fired by the 82 mortars, and like the heavy machine guns, these 8 mortars were also very fierce, and each 82 guns were hot on their bodies, and some gunners simply took off their military uniforms in this weather and fired with their arms half-bare.
The station branch of the Fifth Army replenished a large number of 82 mortar shells to the 200th Division when Zhang Wei launched a sneak attack on the Japanese army.
The gunners did not have to worry about mortar shells bottoming out, as other units do.
These endless shells were the confidence of the mortar bombardment, creating a mess on the front of the Luotang Heights.
These eight 82 mortar shells fell on the Luotang Heights, writing the last stroke of the 598th Regiment's fire attack.
"Ceasefire" On the smoky mortar position of the 598th Regiment, the commander of the mortar company of the 598th Regiment and the commander of the first company of the mortar battalion of the 200th Division ordered the artillery to stop the bombardment at the same time The cheers in the front-line positions of the 598th Regiment completely overshadowed the sound of gunfire and cannonball.
Not only the officers and men of the 598th Regiment, but also the positions of the 599th Regiment and the 600th Regiment were also cheered, and a reconnaissance raid boosted the morale of the 200th Division at once.
Seeing that the Japanese army was deflated, almost everyone applauded the officers and men of the 200 divisions on the front-line positions, and the thinking of ordinary big-headed soldiers, and the captains and staff officers were fundamentally different, and they did not understand what intelligence value and tactical value they had, let alone how much actual damage was inflicted on the Japanese army; in the eyes of the big-headed soldiers, the casualties suffered by the Japanese army were directly proportional to the intensity of the battlefield, and the more fierce the bombing and the worse the burning, the greater the casualties suffered by the Japanese army.
And now the scene at the rear of the Luotang Heights is in line with this simple and crude way of judgment, and the soldiers on the front-line positions of the 200th Division are all overjoyed, and they are bombed violently and burned very much, which in the eyes of the brothers is equivalent to the death of the Japanese army The Japanese army died big, and the morale of the 200 brothers on the front line skyrocketed.
To tell the truth, on the surface lively, fierce, but Zhang Wei's substantive results are actually paralyzed the combat effectiveness of a mortar squadron, from the simple number of equipment, greatly weakened Japanese support firepower, the fight is indeed very beautiful, these four 97 mortars and two Shanghai-made 82 mortars, but Kunlun Pass Japanese army's important firepower pillar, after being destroyed, Kunlun Pass Japanese army's support artillery left a squadron of 75 mountain artillery, a squad of 92 infantry artillery, There are also two surviving Type 97 mortars.
However, the main defensive force of the Japanese army on the Luotang Heights is still there, and the overall defense system of the Luotan Heights has not been destroyed.
At the same time, Zhang Wei's engineer platoon also paid a certain price, four soldiers of the assault group that stormed the mortar position did not return, and remained on the mortar position of the Japanese army forever, taking three Czech-style cover groups, and one soldier was killed in the confrontation with the Japanese army, a total of five soldiers were killed, and four others were wounded, and casualties in the battle were always inevitable.
Zhang Wei didn't grieve much, He Jinhai and the veterans of the engineer platoon who came back only lamented for a while, the veterans knew better than anyone else that it was these five brothers who fell this time, and it was they who were thrown there in the next battle.
There are many battles, and the people around me and the life and death of the brothers are also very open At this point, Zhang Wei's reconnaissance mission and the 598th Regiment's bombardment and cover shooting of the enemy's position came to an end.
This was also a rare battle in which the 200th Division had the upper hand in the past few days.
After this operation, Zhang Wei learned from the Gaoji people that the main force of his brigade was coming, so he returned to the forward command post of the 598th Regiment with the Gaoji people.
The artillery that discovered the Japanese army's defense situation and destroyed a mortar position was a very eye-catching feat in the results of the Fifth Army's lackluster battles for several days, and the movement was extremely large, and the smoke and fire that rushed into the sky were the best proof of the victory.
In the command post of the 200th Division, Division Commander Dai did not use any means of communication, and when he saw the smoke rushing into the sky, he applauded again and again in the division command post, and behaved like the brothers on the front line; after Zhang Wei led the engineer platoon back from the Luotang Heights to the position of the 598th Regiment, the officers in the command post of the 598th Regiment reported to Division Commander Dai the detailed results of Zhang Wei's destruction of the Japanese artillery position.
After another 10 minutes, Zhang Wei and Gao Jiren returned to the command post of the 598th Regiment, and immediately answered the telephone call of the commander of the 200th Division, Dai, in order to cooperate with Zhang Wei's actions, the 200th Division's movements were not small, when Zhang Wei was touching the sentry behind the Luotang position, the baggage troops of the 200th Division were replenishing artillery shells to the front, and the signal corps completely repaired the telephone line between the 598th Regiment and the division command post.
During the air raid in the morning, the telephone lines of the first regiments and the division command post of the 200th Division were bombed by the Japanese army, and the wires were not completely destroyed, but they were also in a semi-paralyzed state.
During Zhang Wei's reconnaissance raid, the 200th Division restored the telephone lines that had been blown up by the Japanese army, and it can be said that around Zhang Wei's platoon, the 200th Division exerted great strength, and even the Fifth Army's military stations sent troops to assist in replenishing ammunition to the front line, and during the battle, the combat strength of the 200 Division's first line and the ability to see through the battlefield were very well enriched.
Division Commander Dai on the other side of the phone, smiling, Zhang Wei can also feel it through the phone, as soon as the phone is picked up, he hears hearty laughter, Zhang Wei's armed reconnaissance, all of a sudden reconnaissance has detected such a big movement, Division Commander Dai is the same as the soldiers on the front line, and he exclaims with joy.
"Zhang Wei, you fought beautifully, your attack overturned the rear position of Luotang, and the fight was really good, even the 600th Regiment called, saying that the 598th Regiment fought well" Gao Jiren also showed a satisfied smile on the phone, and his 598th Regiment also had a part in this successful battle.
Although Master Dai praised him, Zhang Wei did not dare to hold it up.
"I also want to thank the 598th Regiment and the 200th Senior Brothers for their assistance, otherwise, I would not have been able to achieve such results with just one platoon."
"Okay, you don't have to be modest, this battle is a rare victory in a few days, the position of the dog day was bombed like that, the brothers of the regiments on the front line said that they were happy and hoped that you would achieve better results, by the way, Zhang Wei, your soldiers are almost here, prepare to go back to our division command post to receive it" After praising Zhang Wei for a few words, he called him to come to the division's command post, and also briefed him on the assembly of various parts of the teaching brigade; first, he wanted to listen to Zhang Wei's detailed description of the raid process, and perhaps the 200th Division would have to further use Zhang Wei's reconnaissance results behind the Luotang flank to deploy the next combat action, and second, it was estimated that Zhang Wei was to be prepared to receive the officers and men of the teaching brigade from all over the country.
The soldiers of the teaching brigade are assembling towards the 200th Division, and the brigade led by He Kun is the closest, and it will soon reach the position of the 200th Division.
Hearing that his soldiers were about to go to the command post of the 200th Division, Zhang Wei returned to his heart like an arrow, and when he thought that his people were coming, Zhang Wei's exhaustion in the raid battle was also gone, and he hurriedly said goodbye to the Gaoji people temporarily, Zhang Wei took the engineer platoon again, and began to rush to the division command post of the 200th Division.
The soldiers of the engineer platoon were also very excited when they heard that the main force of the brigade was coming.
Zhang Wei thought that Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, and Zheng Yiqun were coming, and he was very confident in his heart, and he was also a little worried, although they had not been separated for a long time, but Zhang Wei had been thinking about it in his heart.
As soon as his own troops, the brigade comes, no matter what happens, Zhang Wei believes that he can lead them to deal with it actively and calmly, which teaches the brigade to be Zhang Wei's basic troops, and in the future, it may be Zhang Wei's starting force, Zhang Wei is full of expectations for the main force of the brigade that will soon be assembled under the Kunlun Pass.
Regardless of whether it is attacking Luotang, fighting the head of the boundary, or carrying out a sabotage attack, and bringing its own troops, it is definitely not comparable to commanding other friendly troops to fight.
Zhang Wei, who returned to the command post of the 200th Division, did not enter the division headquarters to find Division Commander Dai, but outside the division headquarters, Zhang Wei, He Jinhai and other officers and soldiers saw neatly stalled carts, each horse-drawn cart was loaded with supplies, including green ammunition boxes and dry food materials, carriages and pack horses, and He Kun and those familiar and cordial brothers who ran towards Zhang Wei all the way There were three of them that came to assemble, and what Zhang Wei saw was the fastest marching one, and this force was led by He Kundu, and the heavy platoon of the teaching brigade that drove from the direction of the military headquarters of the Fifth Army, and they were the first to reach the periphery of the command post of the 200th Division.
Previously, the baggage platoon accompanied Zhang Wei and the engineer platoon to escort the captured equipment, and then Zhang Wei took the engineer platoon to the front-line position of the 200th Division to observe and participate in the battle.
"Captain," He Kun shouted in the distance.
Behind He Kun, the officers and soldiers of the baggage platoon also gathered on Zhang Wei's side, excitedly calling for the captain
