The captain of the devil wing had already rushed to the vicinity of Shen Jiabang, looking at the high bunker fortifications, the wing captain was about to order his subordinates to prepare to attack Shen Jiabang, and even the air planes were called, and as soon as the bombers arrived over Shen Jiabang, they immediately launched a fierce attack on Shen Jiabang's position.
Strive to conquer this communication artery before dark, regain absolute control of this place from the hands of the New Fourth Army, ensure the smooth attack of those Wang puppet troops in the north who have penetrated deep into the edge of Hongze Lake, and complete the elimination of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei.
As soon as he received Sato's telegram, he was greatly puzzled, and he couldn't understand what this commander of the New Fourth Army was doing.
According to their reconnaissance information, at present, only the New Fourth Army contingent is active in the vicinity of Shenjiabang and Shaziji, and besides, its number is at most four or five hundred, and it is impossible for a large number of New Fourth Army contingents to suddenly appear in the vicinity of Shenjiabang That's impossible, didn't the Chongqing Army and the New Fourth Army just fight a battle a few days ago, and it is impossible for them to shake hands and make peace in such a short period of time and help attack the imperial army.
Even if the officers of the Chongqing Army had the courage to do so, their superiors would not allow their subordinates to do so.
The captain of the devil wing hurriedly ordered that Sato on the radio to block this group of troops of unknown origin on the spot, not to let them move closer to Shen Jiabang's side, once the imperial army army conquered Shen Jiabang, immediately turn back and come to the rescue quickly, as long as it holds there for more than an hour, the imperial army team will definitely be able to conquer Shen Jiabang.
The captain of the Devil's Wing is still quite confident in conquering the Shenjiabang position, because they know the specific situation of the fortifications in the Shenjiabang position, such as the structure of the fortifications, as long as they wait for the bombers of the Devil's Air Force to dispatch and bombard the bunker fortifications in Shenjiabang according to the construction drawings, they will be able to easily deal with the Zhina army guarding the fortifications More than ten minutes later, four devil's big-bellied bombers flew over the Shen Jiabang position, and took turns to dive and bomb the bunkers below, blowing up those bunkers and collapsing them all at once, and they collapsed in a pile of rubble and waste steel bars.
Zhang Ercheng was furious when he saw that the little devil's plane was so rampant, and said: "Damn, if Lao Tzu has two anti-aircraft guns, he still looks at the rampant power of these turtle sons in the sky." ” When Commander Wang heard this, he said: "Company Commander Zhang, you are joking, where did the anti-aircraft artillery of the New Fourth Army come from, that is, the brothers all have a 38 big cover, which is considered good, but it is the first time I have encountered such a good weapon and equipment like yours, and it is not much worse than ours." ” Zhang Ercheng was very proud when he heard Captain Wang say that the weapons of his second regiment were good: "Commander Wang, you don't know.
These weapons were all made by our brigade during the Gaoyou Lake period, and now there are not such good conditions here in the New Fourth Army, so we can only rely on the little devils to get them. ” "Oh, I see, no wonder the second regiment is so awesome, it turns out that even the weapons and equipment can be solved by themselves, no wonder those little devils besieging Gaoyou Lake have no way to deal with your independent brigade."
Head Wang said.
"Hey, don't talk about it, those national soldiers saw that the little devil ran faster than the rabbit, but they beat their own people, one is more ruthless than the other, it's really not a thing."
Zhang Ercheng scolded, and suddenly he saw that Commander Wang's face was a little not good-looking, and he immediately realized that he had scolded just now, didn't this Commander Wang on the other side also just throw himself from the National Army Security Regiment, and scolded those national troops who came to fight Gaoyou Lake are not things, didn't they also scold Commander Wang Zhang Ercheng hurriedly changed his words and said to Commander Wang: "Lao Wang, I scolded those national troops who only beat their own families, didn't I say that you rebel troops, you will be the same as us in the future, are you all the New Fourth Army, haha" Zhang Ercheng smiled heartily, and immediately washed away the embarrassing atmosphere of scolding just now.
Commander Wang also nodded with a smile and said: "Lao Zhang, as soon as the devil's plane leaves, the devils will definitely attack, it seems that there are a lot of devils in this batch, we have to sum up well to resist these attacking little devils."
Zhang Ercheng nodded, and said to Commander Wang: "Little devils, they just rely on the airplanes in the sky, the firepower of the cannons on the ground, first bombard you dizzy, and then launch a large-scale group charge towards the position, in addition to these few tricks, I don't see any new tricks they can use to summon out, tell the brothers, don't go to the position for the time being, stay in the fortification artillery hole behind, wait to listen to our orders, and then enter the position It's not too late, as long as our brothers are still there, we are not afraid of those little devils rushing up." ” Zhang Ercheng's plan was very practical, and all the personnel in the front positions were evacuated to the fortifications' anti-artillery holes to take refuge when the devil planes bombed and shelled.
In this way, it can not only reduce a large number of unnecessary casualties, but also take advantage of the fact that the devil's shelling stops and the infantry rushes towards the position, and with the help of the permanent fortifications here, a large number of charging devils can be killed and injured, forcing them to abandon the attack here and achieve the goal of holding their position.
When Commander Wang saw that this artillery company commander had the mind of an infantry commander, he immediately admired him, and said modestly: "Lao Zhang, although you are not an infantryman, you are better than me, the commander of the infantry regiment, so be it, from now on, all the brothers of our regiment will be commanded by you, and I will assist you." ” When Zhang Ercheng heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "This is not good, it is no problem for me to provide fire support to you as an artillery company commander, but let me command so many brothers, to be honest, I really can't do it, or you come, I can give you an idea at that time, and besides, without the consent of our brigade, I will temporarily become the regiment commander here on my own initiative, and I will be scolded to death when I go back, I don't dare to do this, Lao Wang, don't embarrass me." ” When Commander Wang saw that Lao Zhang was sincere in refusing to resign, he was not reluctant, and immediately agreed: "Okay, wait a minute, you have to give me an idea, the little devil will definitely take revenge this time, he must capture here, I see if our brothers can support it, and we have to rely on everyone to work together." ” Zhang Ercheng nodded: "Lao Wang, don't worry, I have enough shells at hand now, you just need to speak, I will bomb you wherever you let me fight, if the fire support can't keep up in the battle, you can settle accounts with me." ” Zhang Ercheng promised to give Captain Wang enough fire support to deal with the onslaught of the devils.
The devil bombers threw all the bombs to Shen Jiabang, and after bombing indiscriminately for a while, they twisted their wings and returned, and then the devil artillery brought by the commander of the devil wing used four mountain guns to bombard Shen Jiabang's fortifications, and the rumbling shells came one after another, and the shells rained down around the fortifications, blowing up clouds of fire and smoke.
The entire Shen Jiabang position was covered tightly by the smoke that had not had time to dissipate, and the captain of the devil wing saw that the bombardment was almost over, and immediately ordered his next devil brigade to immediately launch a fierce attack on Shen Jiabang, asking them to occupy all the positions within half an hour, and destroy all the Zhina troops who resisted inside Zhang Ercheng is an artillery expert, after he heard the shelling of the little devils in the fortifications gradually stopped, he felt that the little devils on the opposite side were about to attack here, and hurriedly said: "Quickly let the brothers enter the position, it is estimated that the devils are about to attack, I will immediately organize a burst of artillery fire, and first defeat some charging devils." ” Commander Wang listened to Zhang Ercheng's suggestion, and immediately ordered all his brothers to enter the fortifications to meet the little devils who rushed up.
Zhang Ercheng immediately ran back to his artillery position, and issued a series of artillery commands to his artillery brothers: "One thousand meters in front of the target, the firing angle is 40 degrees, and the full-charge blasting shell is test-fired, and it is released."
As soon as Zhang Ercheng's word "put" came out, he heard a mortar shell rushing out with a "pop", roaring and flying towards the devils who rushed towards Shen Jiabang's position, and exploded dozens of meters in front of the devils.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Ercheng quickly changed the parameters of the shelling, and in less than a few seconds, more than a dozen 60 mortars under his command fired a salvo at the little devils who had not yet reacted, and the shells exploded one after another in the middle of the devil team.
The little devils who were desperately charging forward were staggering and wounded, and the rest of the people who were not killed quickly lay on the ground and fired frantically at the fortifications with machine guns and small steel cannons, while the little devil officers who led the team used the radio to desperately call to the captain of the devil wing, asking for artillery support for the troops attacking in front.
Suddenly, the four mountain guns of the little devil started a new round of bombardment of the fortifications, and the large-caliber shells continued to fall and explode around the fortifications, and many brothers in the fortifications were killed by the shrapnel of the devil's shells on the spot, so anxious that the head of the regiment Wang hurriedly called by phone: "Lao Zhang, quickly open the cannon and suppress the fire of the little devils" Zhang Ercheng saw that the little devil's artillery fire was so powerful, and he was also anxious, so he used a telescope to estimate the distance to the devil's side, and found that those devil artillery was too far away from here, and his 60 mortars couldn't hit at all.
Seeing that the little devil's shells fell into the fortifications held by the brothers, Zhang Ercheng was anxious.
If this continues, Lao Wang's brothers will blow up the little devil's artillery, and they must find a way to dumb down the mountain artillery of those little devils. t1706231537:
