The moment the teaching brigade was covered by artillery fire, the Japanese troops in the position on the south side sounded a burst of cheers, the sharp offensive of the teaching brigade, under the stubborn impact, this round of artillery bombardment that held it back is indeed worthy of the cheers of these Japanese soldiers with low morale, the soil and blood-colored flames blown up by the artillery fire, the human limbs and weapon fragments in mid-air seemed to indicate the tragic situation of the squadron in front of the formation, and the shouting and killing of the teaching brigade also weakened, everything was to explain to the Japanese army that the excellent effect of this round of artillery bombardment.
The Japanese captain who commanded the attack was overjoyed, and informed the defenders of the whole position by field telephone and herald: "Continue to shoot and block the enemy" All kinds of firearms on the Japanese positions crackled one after another, firing at the smoke and blood mist 100 meters ahead The three infantry squadrons of the teaching brigade were hit by this heavy blow, and it was indeed difficult for them to continue to advance with their own strength, and there were casualties of officers and men everywhere, Zhang Wei ordered the heralds to pass the orders everywhere, and the first squadron in the center, all the officers and men stopped advancing, prostrate on the ground, and let the Japanese guns and bullets fly over their heads, and the Czech light machine guns, 27 grenadiers, and 28 grenades were all prepared to shoot on the spot, and the wounded soldiers were transferred backwards and dragged down from the front line.
"Whoosh" After stopping the advance and prostrate in place, the number of casualties among the officers and men of the teaching brigade due to bullets plummeted, and the thick smoke and dust from the shelling covered the shock formation of the frontal teaching brigade, so the fire line of the Japanese rifle machine guns was not adjusted in time, and most of them flew away from the heads of the officers and men of the teaching brigade and were missed, which was also a rare benefit brought about by the fierce shelling, and now what poses a threat to the teaching brigade are the 41-type mountain guns, 94-type rapid-fire guns, and grenadier canisters in the shooting.
After the infantry squadrons stabilized, the firepower of the return fire also began, a hundred meters, the Czech, medium and grenadier canisters in the hands of the infantry, guns and grenades could be obtained, the soldiers prostrate and stabilized, without the orders of the officers of the squadrons, the veterans and squad leaders led the soldiers to fire at the Japanese positions, and the soldiers also fought very hard, pouring out the anger of being shelled with firepower.
At a distance of 100 meters, Zhang Wei himself was wounded, and when he arrived at this position, he was bombarded, Zhang Wei naturally ordered the troops to stop the attack, and ordered the heavy firearms to cover the shooting, and stopped before the breakthrough to 100 meters.
There was no advanced communications equipment to rely on, the three signal corps did not carry signal guns, and the troops were collectively shelled, so everything was in a state of near chaos; with the current communication capability, Zhang Wei could not convey orders to every infantry squadron in a timely and accurate manner, and only the actions of one unit could lead the actions of the whole brigade.
But fortunately, after the cohesion and tacit understanding of the teaching brigade was large, the second and third squadrons on both flanks also stopped advancing correspondingly, took the initiative to move closer to the first squadron, cooperated with the first squadron, and maintained the battle line of the three infantry squadrons in the same position as usual.
The various combat units of the teaching brigade now rely on pre-war training, the habits they have cultivated, and the quality of grass-roots officers and non-commissioned officers in combat, and it is precisely with solid pre-war training that Zhang Wei's command orders can be easily disseminated to the entire brigade.
At the same time, the platoon-level unit with the strongest combat effectiveness and firepower of the teaching brigade, He Jinhai's engineer platoon, started from the back and went forward, leaning on the battle line where the three infantry squadrons were.
The infantry of the three squadrons, who had been under fire for a while, were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Behind the infantry squadron, the heavy firepower squadron of the teaching brigade, and the two 37 battle anti-artillery squads reinforced by friendly troops, began to break forward, move forward, and set up weapons, Zhang Wei's communication ability was not enough to completely prohibit the three infantry squadrons from being ordered at the same time, but he could remotely command the heavy firearms squadron in time, and the signal corps ran to the back, and as soon as the order was explained, Li Shaoyan rushed up with the team.
It was the time for the heavy firepower squadron to stop advancing and the heavy firearms to advance to suppress the enemy's positions and create conditions for the infantry to break through.
"Hurry up, the infantry brothers blocked so many bullets for us, it's time for us to get on, give me the quick" Li Shaoyan spit out the slag in his mouth, he also felt an inexplicable smell of blood in his mouth, the heavy fire squadron also dropped the special grenade of the grenadier canister, Li Shaoyan thought in his heart: I was bombarded just now, and now it's time to take revenge Li Shaoyan urged his own deployment, and the officers and men of the heavy firepower squadron also knew the truth, and their movements were extremely fast, and the two battle defense artillery squads reinforced by friendly forces were also infected by the combat atmosphere of the heavy firepower squadron.
The only thing that lagged behind was the Bofors mountain gun, which was too heavy to keep up with the infantry at all, and Division Commander Dai strengthened it to the teaching brigade, and it was probably decided with a pat on the head, without thinking about the pros and cons.
Li Shaoyan simply let this artillery squad go slowly, and push as far as he could.
Nine ZB37 heavy machine guns, four 82 mortars, were assembled first and ready for firing.
Li Shaoyan ordered the heavy machine guns to be divided into three infantry squadrons in platoons, and advanced to the first line of each infantry squadron to cover the firing, and four 82 mortars, under the unified command of Dong Erli, were arranged behind the first squadron.
The officers and men of the heavy fire squadron moved quickly, and the three platoons of heavy machine guns immediately pulled to the front line of the three infantry squadrons and opened fire.
"Dada" Nine machine guns took out the shooting momentum of the night battle, all fired in succession, each squadron was divided into three ZB37 heavy machine guns, the machine gunners did not kill the way of playing, the suppression effect was very good, the high rate of fire advantage of ZB37 was brought into full play, a string of bullets flew to the Japanese without intervals, and finally countered the Japanese rifle machine gunners in the position.
The four mortars commanded by Dong Erli, after narrowing the distance a little, also ordered to open fire, and the four mortars, shortly after the heavy machine guns opened fire, were put into the attack, telling the projectiles, so far, the heavy machine guns and mortars of the heavy fire squadron were all put into battle.
The strong firepower of the heavy firepower squadron was carried out, and the pressure on the Japanese troops in the position on the south side of the boundary increased sharply, and at this time, the two 37 battle defense guns of the friendly army also rushed to the rear of the first squadron line, and the muzzles of the black hole holes were aimed at the Japanese positions:
