Chapter 590: Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang (7)
As a soldier squad leader of the Third Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the New 38th Brigade, Lu Wenbin didn't remember how many times he had repelled the Japanese attack. He was covered in blood, with his own and enemy's, and his index finger that pulled the trigger was a little numb.
From the Japanese charge to the present, he didn't know how many bullets he fired and how many Japanese devils he killed. Anyway, all 150 rifle bullets he distributed to him were exhausted.
“班长,鬼子有上来了!”
With the hot bricks on his back, he finally took a breath, but he heard a voice anxiously reminding him that the Japanese army began to attack again.
It was a new recruit. He picked up the kettle and drank a big sip of water. He turned his head and took a look. The Japanese army did organize another attack, but the man was at least five hundred meters away.
"What's the hurry? It's still early. Let's wait until the Japanese are nearly 100 meters away."
"Lu Wenbin, let you take two people to get the ammunition. After this replenishment, you must at least wait until dark before there will be replenishment..." The baggage squad leader shouted from behind.
"Here you come!" When he heard that the ammunition was replenished, Lu Wenbin got up and ran over regardless of his exhaustion.
“老刘,都有什么好货色?”
"We made the grenades ourselves. There are not many melon grenades in Japan, so we can only give you a box." The logistics squad leader Lao Liu gave Lu Wenbin a good relationship. The two of them are fellow villagers, so it is normal for them to take care of them occasionally.
"Okay, I'll get your love. Let's go back and invite you to drink!"
"Just forget to drink, just get me a pack of Japanese cigarettes and smoke it."
"Japanese cigarettes, okay, I'll take a look. Let's see who touched them. I'll take them over for you." Lu Wenbin turned around and said, "You guys, who touched the Japanese cigarettes, take them out. Don't hide them at this time. Squad leader Liu takes care of you and give us more ammunition of base number..."
“老路,你这张嘴还真是欠的……”
Whoosh...
"The Japanese are ready for artillery fire, everyone hurry up and fire the cannon, hurry..."
In an instant, the position in the northeast corner outside Taier Village was a sea of fire. This time the Japanese army actually used fire bombs. Obviously, they knew that there were anti-aircraft guns on the position. If ordinary shells were fired, they would be able to bomb at most, and there would not be much casualties for the people on the position.
小鬼子几次冲锋,自然也就学乖了.
居然用上烧夷弹了!
"Prepare, cover your nose with a wet towel, and after a while the shells stopped, we rushed out. Do you understand?"
"Squad leader, don't you have a gas mask? Why don't you use it?"
"This is a disposable thing. Did the Japanese use poison gas bombs and couldn't use gas masks. We rushed out now, just because we were afraid of choking our noses. We were enough to wet towels."
“明白了,班长!”
"Learn more. If I am unfortunate and glorious, you have to continue fighting with the Japanese. Do you understand!"
The sound of artillery was gradually sparse, and it was obvious that the Japanese charging troops were almost at the front of the position. The sound of artillery covered up the sound of tanks advancing. Coupled with the violent explosion on the battlefield, many soldiers had hearing problems.
暂时性失聪的有不少.
At this time, you can only judge the time of attack based on experience.
“冲出去!”
One rushed out, and the rest followed suit and pushed open the obstacles in the anti-aircraft hole. The officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Third Regiment of the New 38th Brigade rushed out like tigers and quickly occupied their respective positions.
At this time, the Japanese army had rushed into a range of 100 meters and its speed was accelerating. The tanks in the front were almost at the front line of defense of the Third Battalion.
"beat!"
哒哒……
The gunshot suddenly rang out, and the crossfire power composed of light and heavy machine guns poured towards the enemy. The Japanese grenade launcher and mortar violently attacked the machine gun fire point.
The third battalion was not willing to be outdone and also attacked the Japanese army. The two sides almost face-to-face shelling,
This is just a corner of the battlefield, a small microcosm of the tragic battle in the entire Taierzhuang.
In fact, the Japanese army used thousands of troops to siege Taierzhuang from east, north and west, trying to break through the defense line of the new 38th Brigade with powerful firepower.
The artillery regiment assigned to the New 38th Brigade had a war defense artillery battalion equipped with a large number of armor-piercing bombs. This was a powerful weapon to deal with Japanese tanks and was used by Luo Yufeng in the first time in the counterattack.
The Japanese army did not expect that the Taierzhuang defenders had such an anti-tank weapon, and they lost more than a dozen tanks at once. The huge losses forced Furong Zhenping to adjust his attack tactics.
He also ordered the artillery to suppress the Chinese artillery, especially the war defense artillery battalion.
The Japanese army kept calling for air support, and several combat powers hovered over Taierzhuang, attacked by ground troops, luring the new 38th Brigade to be exposed, and then launched an air strike!
This move is very insidious. The New 38th Brigade has suffered several losses and suffered a lot of losses.
If exposed, you will inevitably be hit. If you don’t show it, you will not be able to stop the Japanese attack. This is a dilemma.
“伤亡多少?”
"It has exceeded 500 people." Qin Yankun's mouth was bitter. Although he did not think that the New 38th Brigade was worse than the Japanese army, such a formal offensive and defensive battle was timely used, and the results were only one-to-one casualties.
If this is the case, even if the Japanese army is dragged to Taierzhuang, the new 38th Brigade will be greatly damaged.
"Persevere until dark, let the Japanese come in, we fight street battles and night battles!" Luo Yufeng's eyes turned red, and in just one afternoon, more than 500 living lives disappeared.
They are all guilty of the damn Japanese devils, so they must repay this blood debt with their blood.
The night gradually fell, but the sound of gunfire in Taierzhuang did not stop, but became more intense. After an afternoon of fierce attack, the Japanese army seemed to have made some progress.
The defenders' positions were compressed, and at one time the Japanese army rushed to the top of Taierzhuang, but they were defeated by a group of defenders. The battle was extremely cruel!
This is only the first day, and no one knows what will happen next.
"Yes, brigade, Wu Youyuan knows." The group of headquarters is located in a small Catholic church south of Taierzhuang. The church is not only the best building in Taierzhuang, but also very strongly built. The Japanese people failed to blow up the church after several bombings from planes. Of course, the Japanese army did not know that the command headquarters of the defenders in Taierzhuang was located here, otherwise they would definitely blow up the here at all costs.
"Tell the Second Battalion and the Third Company, get out of the northeast corner, let's fight streets with the Japanese and night battles!" Wu Youyuan put down his phone and ordered the communication consultant.
"yes!"
"In addition, I must keep my position stable and never let the Japanese army rush in with the opportunity."
"clear!"
The Second and Third Regiments outside the city were also shrinking their positions to prepare for the next field battle. The Japanese army took the opportunity to occupy these places, which also divided a lot of the Japanese army's forces and energy.
About a small Japanese army team climbed up the city wall and rushed into the city when the defenders deliberately released water.
Then, the commander in front of the Japanese army found that there had been a breakthrough. Before we could flock to it, in just over ten minutes, about a squadron of Japanese troops rushed into the northeast corner of Taierzhuang.
The breakthrough has been formed, so we should take advantage of the victory to attack, but Furong Zhenping ordered the troops entering the city to stop attacking and defend their current territory.
Perhaps he suffered a loss in Teng County. He knew that night war was not good at the Japanese army. If he attacked rashly, he might fall into the trap of the Chinese. The safest way was to stick to it and launch an attack after dawn.
"Furong Zhenping is really greedy. If it were me, in this case, he should have withdrawn directly." Luo Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief. After it became dark, the Japanese attack was temporarily suspended.
第一天算是守住了.
“老罗,你打算怎么做?”
"My situation has been sent to Lao Leng in real time. He suggested that we should not enter the Japanese army in Taierzhuang first, and carry out several night attacks on the Japanese army outside the city, focusing on attacking the Japanese army's supplies, field hospitals and artillery positions to weaken their firepower advantages, and to create some mental pressure for them!" Luo Yufeng said.
"Lao Leng means that the Japanese army that broke into the city was a bait. If we don't eat it, the Japanese army would not take it back. This is a magnet, which firmly attracts the Japanese army, right?" Qin Yankun's mind rolled and his eyes lit up.
"Well, I didn't understand it just now. After you said this, I suddenly became enlightened. What is our main task in Taierzhuang? It is secondary to defending Taierzhuang. It is mainly to lure the main force of the Japanese army over and then drag the Japanese army to exhaust them so that we can find fighter jets for the Tang army that was hidden and standby, and annihilate the main force of the Japanese Segu Detachment in one fell swoop." Qin Yankun said, "But in this way, aren't we just sacrifice ourselves and fulfill others?"
"No, if we preserve a lot of strength while defending Taierzhuang, then when we launch a counterattack, we may not be a wedding dress for others!" Qin Yankun said.
“老秦,没想到你也争功心切.”
"We have to fight when we should, and we cannot give the credit we have won." Qin Yankun snorted.
"Where did Cao Xingyang and Tu Man go?"
"When they were operating in the Liujia Lake area, they seemed to have found a Japanese artillery position somewhere. Today, a large part of the artillery shells falling from our heads were shot from this artillery position."
"The Japanese army attacking the east gate position of Taierzhuang today came from Liujiahu. Fortunately, we were prepared, otherwise we would have been caught off guard by the Japanese army." Luo Yufeng said, "I didn't expect that they actually set up the artillery position in Liujiahu, which was really a secret place."
“查清楚了有多少火炮?”
"According to their investigation, there are 105 caliber howitzers, mountain cannons, each squadron, and baggage troops."
“保卫力量呢?”
"No less than one squadron of Japanese infantry and a small number of cavalry."
"They only have one camp. Although they are carefully selected, there are only three hundred people, and their strength is a bit weak." Luo Yufeng frowned slightly.
"Don't we also have artillery? As long as Cao Xingyang and others can provide accurate coordinates, our artillery can strike their artillery positions!" Qin Yankun said.
"Yes, they carry individual radio stations that can correct the shelling angle and distance at any time. Lao Qin, you are such a genius!" Luo Yufeng said excitedly.
"Lao Luo, if you have time, please read more books." Qin Yankun coughed.
"What do you mean?"
"When Lao Leng was in Mingguang, he wrote an article specifically about artillery tactics. Among them, a small group of troops infiltrated into the enemy artillery positions and guided our artillery to strike the enemy artillery positions. This tactic can achieve great results at a small cost, but the implementation conditions are relatively difficult, so this tactic is only in the conceivable stage." Qin Yankun said.
“我怎么不知道有这么一篇文章?”
"You are focused on training, so where can you have time to read these?" Qin Yankun smiled. Of course, he, as the chief of staff, has to read these articles, otherwise how could he get closer to Leng Feng's thinking?
做一个合格的参谋长不容易呀!
