The fat man immediately straightened his chest, his eyes turned to the sky, and replied: "Report to the brigade seat, no problem, as long as there is ammunition and artillery support, I will definitely be able to clear the obstacles in front of the devil's position within an hour, and you can't cut off my head." ” "Haha, okay, now please Chief of Staff Ding arrange the specific operational deployment, and make preparations as soon as the departments go back, the success or failure of this battle is related to the question of whether our 79th Army and friendly troops can successfully retreat from Shitang Town, and in the process of attacking, we must really fight, fight hard, and we can't let the devils feel that we are perfunctory, then our feint attack this time will be meaningless."
"But in battle, we must use our brains, do not rush in a hurry, and try to minimize casualties, now for our independent brigade, the most valuable thing is not what weapons, ammunition and supplies, but those soldiers who have been in a hundred battles."
Immediately afterwards, Ding Ning announced the specific operational deployment: "More than 400 people from the first regiment served as the vanguard, responsible for clearing the barbed wire and minefields in front of the devil's position, opening two offensive channels, and the second and fourth regiments respectively dispatched seventy percent of their troops to insert into the enemy's position in the left and right directions from the offensive channels opened by the first regiment. ” "Remember, don't go deep, and after occupying the position, immediately blow up all the defenses on the position, and the 2nd and 4th regiments immediately alternate cover with each other and evacuate the battle site.
The first regiment immediately turned into a front team, joined up with the brigade headquarters, and moved some distance in the direction of Zhenjiang.
This move was to confuse the devils and make them think that the large army of the national army was going to Zhenjiang, and the other two regiments took the opportunity to withdraw from Shitang Town overnight and make a feint in the direction of Zhenjiang. ” "Wait until four o'clock in the morning and then turn around and go straight to Jiangning, if there is no accident, the second and fourth regiments should turn here."
Ding Ning pointed to a place on the map called Qiushui Town.
All regiments accepted the order to go back to the position to prepare, Zhou Wu left the fat man, and said: "Lao Liu, is there a problem with your regiment of four hundred brothers taking the lead this time, is the number too small, and if there are any difficulties, you can raise them now, and it will be too late then." ” "Brigade seat, just now in front of Lao Gao and Lao Ge, I was a fat man with a swollen face, and now to be honest, relying on more than four hundred brothers to clear so many mines and obstacles in front of the devil's position is indeed a bit hanging, but now the independent brigade is short of soldiers, and I am embarrassed to ask you for someone from the brigade" The fat man twisted at this time.
"Fatty, I said when did you become so twisted, like a girl, so let's do it, I will assign the special battalion to you as a regiment commander, anyway, they are originally your regiment, and then put those people who are Sheng Pei under your command, so that you have nearly 1,500 people, what do you think" Zhou Wu said.
"Hehe, that's the best, Brigade seat, I don't have any other requirements, as long as there are people" The fat man was very happy when he saw that Zhou Wu had allocated more troops to him, and immediately got up again, and he couldn't even speak.
The fat man confidently returned to the regiment station, the weapons allocated by Zhou Wu to the regiment were already in place, the fat man looked, oh, all of them were flower machine guns and twenty-shot box guns, plus some carbines and grenades, and the bullet boxes were full of bullets.
The fat man was overjoyed, thinking that their firepower was fierce now, if the four hundred men and horses went out with this set of equipment, it would not be a piece of cake to deal with the little devils, although the devil's skills and tactics were powerful, and they were also good at fighting bayonets, but they also used flesh and blood, and the bullets still pierced two holes.
Soon it was time to start the attack at night, and the fat man ordered the brothers of No. 400, who were armed with flower machine guns and carbines and box guns, to touch the devil's position as an advance team, and the rest of the troops divided into two roads, entering the devil's position from the left and right directions, clearing obstacles, removing mines, blowing up barbed wire, and opening up a safe passage for the follow-up troops.
After all the troops who launched the assault arrived at the designated position, the fat man gave instructions to Zhang Ercheng: "Lao Zhang, we have arrived, it's up to you below, give me a hard bang on these bitches."
After Zhang Ercheng received the fat man's instructions, he immediately ordered all the artillery to prepare for the opening of the artillery, and in order to give full play to the artillery firepower, he not only used all the mortars, but also tinkered with the two howitzers brought from Jiangyin.
In addition, Zhang Ercheng also had a whim, using the principle of anti-aircraft artillery flat fire, using close bombs to calculate the fuse distance, hit the devil's position and explode in the air, so that a large number of devils exposed on the ground can be killed, and the pressure on the fat man when attacking.
Zhang Ercheng's artillery preparations immediately began to shake the earth, artillery of various calibers with their own ballistic arcs rushed to the devil's position, among which the anti-aircraft guns were the most eye-catching, the continuous, low "through" shooting sound, shook the entire position, and the fat man lying on the ground was excited for a while.
"This voice is so damn good, yes, Lao Zhang, you have to be such a little devil, and you can't figure out the southeast and northwest of them to enjoy it."
The barbed wire fence on the devil's position was lifted high by the air wave of the shell explosion, and many of the mines laid were detonated by the strong shock wave of the shell, triggering a self-detonation.
The rumbling explosions in front of the devil's position came and went, endlessly, accompanied by the unique whistling volley explosion sound of anti-aircraft guns when firing flat, and the little devils who heard the explosion and rushed out in a hurry fell to the ground one after another, crying bitterly.
Taking advantage of the moment, the fat man ordered a group of all the brothers to attack the devil's position, first of all, the four hundred soldiers who played the vanguard jumped up from the ground, shouting and desperately running down the crater to the devil's position.
The little devil is really tenacious enough, he was stunned by the artillery, and he was able to get up and fight back in front of the trench in a group, and the few people who rushed to the front fell, and the fat man was furious: "Hit me" One after another, tongues of fire tilted towards the devils in the trenches, so that the devils shrank in the trenches and did not dare to show their heads, and the fat man took this opportunity to rush into the devil's trenches with people like a whirlwind.
At this time, the little devils in the trench had already withdrawn the bullets on the 38 big cover, and were ready to play bayonet with a group of brothers who rushed in.
Melee this thing, as long as you have firepower, the weapon with a fast rate of fire can prevail, this is not a fat man, the things they are equipped with come in handy, the brothers keep shooting, keep changing the magazine, five or six people as a group, shoot desperately at the little devil in the trench, so that the devil has no temper at all, so angry that the devil Shao Zuo wow yelled, and even asked his subordinates to bring mountain artillery to bombard the fat man, but was stopped by his subordinates.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, we are fighting with the Chinese army, if you bombard, the imperial warriors in the trenches will all be shattered, if the upper authorities investigate it, we can't afford it."
This hot-headed stunned young devil Shaozuo thought for a while, felt justified, and had no choice but to withdraw the shelling order, urgently call his superiors, and ask to send troops to reinforce the front of the position.
"According to the report, judging by the degree of attack and the sound of gunfire of the Chinese army, they probably used the strength of a regiment, and we only have one squadron in the front, which will definitely not hold on, and we are in urgent need of support.
The devil commander heard that the forward position was in an emergency, and originally wanted to send someone to the front to verify the situation and find out the bottom line, but then he was annoyed by this devil Shaozuo, plus this position had just been harassed by the independent brigade for a while two days ago, burning grain and oil depots, not to mention, even with the loss of a squadron of imperial troops in vain, so he could blame the head and order, and ordered the captain of the devil wing to stay in the position, in case the logistics warehouse was burned down that day, otherwise there was no need to report and resign, and he committed suicide directly in front of the battle to thank the emperor.
It was precisely because of such an order from above that the commander of the devil hurriedly ordered all the troops on the position, except for a few who remained in the position, to reinforce the squadron and block the national army from the position. t1706231537:
