The commander of the artillery regiment kept announcing the shelling parameters, and the long body of the anti-aircraft gun kept swaying with the change of password.
After a few minutes, the dust finally settled, and under the command of the artillery commander to open fire, seven or eight 80-mm anti-aircraft guns roared at the same time.
The direct-fire shells that flew out at high speed slammed viciously into the steel barrier of devil tanks and armored vehicles in front of them with a roar of death.
Sure enough, as the artillery commander said, those devil tanks that flaunted their might and were majestic in front of the infantry of the national army, in front of these 80-mm anti-aircraft guns, were like pieces of freshly made tofu, and a poke was a big hole.
A few tanks happened to be hit by shells on the fuel tank, and they immediately burned and exploded, booming, crackling, blazing, and billowing smoke.
The captain of the devil's wing saw that the tanks he relied on as a barrier for survival were destroyed by the national artillery one by one, and hurriedly ordered the deployment to be adjusted, and the infantry scattered on the spot, rushing out from the side of the tank armored vehicles that were blazing, ready to come forward and have a hand-to-hand fight with the fat man.
Zhou Wu was overjoyed when he saw the devils finally showing up in the telescope, and hurriedly ordered all the brothers who were in the reserve team to press up to participate in the white-knuckle battle, and the victory or defeat was decided in one fell swoop.
Zhou Wu had mobilized as many as three or four hundred non-combatants at the brigade headquarters, and with the addition of more than 200 people from a reinforced company of the special service battalion that had just arrived, he had as many as 600 people on hand.
The artillery commander saw that there were many brothers under his command, so he took the initiative to ask that all these artillerymen be turned into infantry, although they could not catch up with the professional infantry of the independent brigade, but they were definitely more professional and reliable than the brothers of the brigade headquarters staff and the quartermaster department.
In this way, the infantry reorganized by the artillery regiment turned out to be seven or eight hundred people, and Zhou Wu calculated that now the reserve in his hand has 1,300 people, which is worthy of a missing regiment.
I had just contacted the more than 1,000 people in the security regiment who set off in advance and went around the back of the devil, and Zhou Wu's heart regained the confidence to eat the devil in front of him, isn't it just a little devil with less than 3,000 people I will throw it in with a force of two to one, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to eat you But when Zhou Wu threw all his troops into that battlefield, he found that his pre-estimate was a bit problematic, and the little devils in front of him were not only well-armed and equipped, but also had excellent individual skills.
In the case that the number of people is twice as large as them, these little devils calmly and calmly fight hand-to-hand with the national army without suffering any losses, and there is no sign of being at a disadvantage, and Zhou Wu is becoming more and more confused, what kind of troops are these devils, and why are they so tenacious At the critical moment when the brothers of the Independent Brigade were mixed up with these devils, fighting each other, and fighting to the death, the old commander of the 79th Army provided Zhou Wu with information through the radio.
To the west of Shitang Town, near the direction of Wujin, an unknown number of Japanese troops are moving rapidly in the direction of Shitang Town, and it is expected to reach Shitang Town in two hours.
The old commander meant that if he was sure of annihilating the devil army in front of him, he would annihilate it as soon as possible, or he would quickly retreat to the fortifications, in case the devil troops who were rushed to reinforce would be cut in two and fall into the dilemma of being dumplings made by devils.
Zhou Wu's mood at this time was extremely bad, originally he thought that he had nearly 6,000 troops, and he could completely wipe out the 3,000-person devil like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, but now it has become a stalemate, and the most terrible thing is that the current situation is that he can't withdraw if he wants to, and he is staggered with the devil over there, biting his teeth to the death.
Zhou Wu hurriedly asked the army commander: "Army commander, which is the closest unit of our 79th Army to Shitang Town?"
The army commander replied: "The closest to Shitang Town is Yu Shiming's 11th Division, but they are also twenty or thirty kilometers away from Shitang Town, and they will definitely not be able to catch up with Shitang Town within two hours, Zhou Wu, or you all withdraw here, it will be almost dark, and we will think of a way when it is night." ” Zhou Wu reluctantly put down the radio, to say that the 11th Division actually moved relatively quickly, but after they launched a feint attack on the devils on the side of the Huashan position in Jiangyin, they forced the little devils who landed to retreat a lot before turning around and retreating in the direction of Shitang Town.
For several days in a row, they were fighting and marching, all of which were high-intensity work, and now it was quite good to be able to travel to a place twenty or thirty kilometers away from Shitang Town, Zhou Wu felt that at this time he really had no way to ask for help, so he called every day should not be, and the earth was not working.
At this time, Ding Ning said to Zhou Wu: "Brigade seat, hurry up and make up your mind to retreat, if the head of the Liu regiment at the front is completely entangled with the devil and can't retreat in time, I think the other departments can decisively withdraw the fortifications." ” "In this situation, since we can't eat this group of devils in a comprehensive encirclement, we should change the battle plan."
"We must concentrate the troops at hand, make key breakthroughs in the weaker parts of the devils, close the scattered fingers, form a fist, and concentrate our strength to hit the devils at one point, we will definitely be able to break through a gap, save the fat men and them out, and then all retreat, withdraw the fortifications before dark, and wait until the evening to make plans."
Ding Ning put forward a more practical plan, Zhou Wu listened, there is only this solution in this situation at present, first save the fat man who is stuck with the devil.
Zhou Wu hurriedly notified the various departments that were surrounding the devils, asking them to immediately retreat to the front of the fortifications and stand by, in fact, at this time, the only ones who were really entangled with the devil infantry were the five or six hundred people of the fat regiment and one of the four regiments who rushed to the front, and some of the rest of the troops had not yet reached the devils or were on the way.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Wu's order came out, except for the fat man, who really couldn't withdraw back, the rest of the departments basically withdrew to the fortifications.
For the sake of safety, Zhou Wu deliberately withdrew Zhai Daping's special battalion and security regiment behind the devils, in case they were outflanked by the reinforcements of the devil's forward troops.
In this way, when everyone withdrew to the fortifications, the sky was already a little gray, and Zhou Wu was worried about the fat man's group, afraid that they would not be able to support it, so he immediately ordered the withdrawn troops to immediately form an assault force.
With Gao Xiangfa and Ge Sanmin as the principal and deputy commanders respectively, they concentrated all the artillery firepower that the independent brigade now had at hand to launch a single-point attack on the little devils who were desperately fighting with the fat man's regiment.
Before launching the attack, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning discussed no less than three or four times about which attack point.
Ding Ning believes that we should concentrate our forces on attacking the weakest part of the devil, and from the current battlefield situation, the place directly in front of the devil that used to be used as a steel barrier with tanks and armored vehicles is the weakest point.
They can quickly cut in from this point, and then quickly rush in, separating the contact between the devil and the fat man, and the front team becomes the rear team, and they alternately cover each other and retreat into the fortifications.
Zhou Wu didn't think that place was the weakest, and the devil commander in front of him was also a not simple character, as soon as he saw that our national army could not encircle and annihilate them, he would definitely change the attack plan, and he would also think that the national army would attack one point with a key attack.
So the weakest point of the devils we see at this time will be the smoke bombs they deliberately show weakness and lure us into being fooled?
Ding Ning heard Zhou Wu say this, and felt that it made sense, this situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he couldn't help but guard against it, and then Zhou Wu and Ding Ning finally found common ground, that was the place where the fat brothers and devils they saw in the telescope fought the most fiercely.
At this time, the situation of the fat man was already very dangerous, and the devils lived in three layers of them inside and out, which could be described as impassable, but the fat man did not panic at all, and desperately concentrated his strength to fight and retreat towards the fortifications with difficulty and slowness.
Soon he retreated to a relatively open flat land, Zhou Wu saw that the time had come, and immediately ordered all his five thousand men and horses to attack, violently impact the little devil's point, and rescue the exhausted, but still stubbornly fighting as soon as possible. t1706231537:
