Chapter 16 The Longest Afternoon (Part 2)
April 5th at 2:00 pm.
Cheng Jiaji led the guard company of the brigade department to the position of the Independent 100 Brigade in Taierzhuang.
"Brother I, what's the situation now? How many people can you fight?" When Cheng Jiaji arrived at the position, the Chinese army had just defeated the first charge launched by the Japanese army in the afternoon. He was busy rectifying the troops counting the number of people to repair fortifications. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Japanese would take to attack the next attack in less than half an hour.
"The troop, the Japanese charge was just repelled by our army, and the brothers were fighting bravely. The Japanese were about to launch a second charge. If there were no reinforcements from the battalion, the brothers would really not be able to hold on. Are the people on the position? It is being counted. It is estimated that more than 1,500 people can fight, including the minor wounded. We were suffering a lot of casualties just now at the close range of the Japanese. The troop would better let the two battalions come up!" Yu Juncai answered Cheng Jiaji's words while seeing how many people Cheng Jiaji brought up. When he found that Cheng Jiaji had only had one company of troops behind him, he couldn't help but complain to Cheng Jiaji, and in the end he even asked Cheng Jiaji to raise an army directly.
"Where is that guy Wenfu?" Cheng Jiaji did not answer Yu Juncai's question directly, but Wang Gu said that he asked Wen Songyuan's situation.
"Wenfu, on the other side of the position." Since Cheng Jiaji was unwilling to answer his questions, he had to remain silent as a subordinate.
Anyway, although the situation in front of him seemed to be dangerous, it was still far from being uncontrollable.
If it really doesn't work, just rely on the two main battalions outside the Zhuangzi, the independent 100 brigades can still block the offensive momentum of the Japanese army's corps if they are fighting hard.
Moreover, the Japanese suffered a lot of losses in the attack just now. This close-range shooting is a double-edged sword, and both sides will pay a huge price.
Yu Juncai guessed correctly that the Japanese life was not easy enough to live there.
Nagano United paid a heavy price in that attack just now, as Yu Juncai expected.
The number of troops reduced by more than 300 people. If the 40th Regiment was still full, the Japanese army could tolerate it, but now this loss has accounted for 20% of the combat troops of the entire regiment, which greatly affected the overall combat effectiveness of the 40th Regiment.
Moreover, during the attack just now, Major Keik Kitagong Jing, the captain of the Third Battalion of the Chinese and Japanese Army, died. Two captains died within one day, which could not help but affect the morale of the Japanese army that was already slightly depressed due to repeated setbacks.
However, Colonel Nagano was really a determined (stubborn consent). He ignored the strong opposition of his officers and launched a second attack less than twenty minutes after the failure of the first full-scale attack.
Unlike the last attack, this attack was mainly based on the position of the Independent 100 Brigade, which involved three chariots (the other squadron of the 31st Division destroyed the last battle.) The entire team was put into the attack on the Independent 100, and the Japanese army only assisted with the positions of the 31st Division with the remnants of the 31st Division.
The reason why Colonel Nagano arranged troops in this way was that although the number of Chinese troops that had just been transferred today was much wider than that of the 31st Division. In addition, the quality of its soldiers was uneven. The difference in combat power between them was extremely large. According to past experience, such troops would collapse on the entire line if they were broken through. Therefore, Nagano insisted on putting the main attack direction on this newly transferred Chinese army. As for the 31st Division of the Chinese Army that had been dealing with the Imperial Army for ten days, it was a military composed of Chinese fanatics. As for the Colonel's words, it was an army composed of Chinese fanatics. As long as there was still one person alive, he would block the Imperial Army's chariot. It would be better not to fight head-on in the end.
At 2:20, just half an hour after the last attack was repelled, the Japanese army launched the second afternoon attack.
The Japanese army learned this time, and changed from the front line of the last attack to a key attack. With three Type 94 light tanks as the leader, they attacked fiercely on the positions of the One Hundred Brigade. The few shells in the hands of the Japanese artillery also hit the positions of the One Hundred Brigade.
For a moment, the mountains swayed so loudly!
This time, the Japanese chose the breakthrough point very accurately. When attacking the position of the Independent 100 Brigade, the focus of the attack was on the left wing of the Independent 100 Brigade. The one here was the recruits who were allocated to the Independent 100 Brigade at the last moment before the war. This place happened to be the weakest link in the defense line of the Independent 100 Brigade. It can be seen that the IQ in the head of the Lord Yoshio Nagano must be more than sixty, and the shameless slander that the IQ of the Independent 100 Brigade was circulated in the Forty Regiment, which was circulated in the Forty Regiment, which had no more than fifty IQ.
Faced with the impact of a main infantry brigade of the Japanese army and three combat vehicles, the new recruit battalion lost control less than ten minutes after the war started.
About twenty new recruits jumped out of the trenches and fled from their positions.
As a last resort, Cheng Jiaji immediately ordered Ma Sanbao to chase after him with a platoon from the brigade guard company to rectify him on the spot.
When Cheng Jiaji gave this order, he was also heartbroken, but at this moment, the morale of the army could not be shaken at all, otherwise he would immediately collapse.
After executing more than 20 deserters and temporarily using thunder means to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army, Cheng Jiaji led the last mobile force of the Guard Company to the position of the recruits.
Cheng Jiaji was stuck on the position, and the three Japanese in a depressed mood were only regarded as toys, Type 94 light chariots, which were striking their power in front of their positions compared to the main battle tanks of various countries that he had read in magazines before.
From the bottom of my heart, Cheng Jiaji looked down on the tanks of the little Japanese. During World War II, the Japanese tanks were not internationally popular.
As long as it was a battle between tanks and tanks, the Japanese had never won. Even the battle of Sumonkan, which was several times more numerous than its opponents, also defeated the Soviet war god Marshal Zhukov.
In the words of a classmate Cheng Jiaji who was very interested in the tanks during World War II and had a lot of research. During World War II, the various tanks and tanks of the Japanese army could bully infantry. If they really face to face with tanks from European and American countries, they would all become iron coffins.
Among all the Japanese tanks and tanks, Cheng Jiaji knew that the performance of this type of tank he had in front of was the worst, and it was actually garbage among garbage.
The armor with only twelve millimeters of the weakest point was one of the thinnest armored chariots in the world at that time. Even the Sanqi war defense cannon could turn it into a fireball.
However, the 100 Independent Brigade currently does not have the 37th War Defense Artillery that was the most precious Chinese army at that time. Not only does the 100 Independent Brigade have not, but as far as Cheng Jiaji knows, there are not many gates in the entire Fifth War Zone, and they are all equipped with the Twentieth Legion.
No matter how you look down on others, Cheng Jiaji knew the most urgent task or how to solve these amazingly thin and shameless Japanese bean chariots were swaying everywhere.
"Use a mortar to shoot flat? No. The existing mortars in the 100th Independent Brigade have a maximum caliber of less than 80 mm, and they cannot do anything to the twelve-mm "thick" armor of the Type 94 chariot. And I don't know how to use this technology."
"It's not OK to ignite it? It's not OK. The People's Liberation Army was able to use this trick to deal with the National Army because the National Army's infantry was too afraid of death. Now if Japanese tanks were allowed to come in, the Japanese infantry would immediately rush into the defense line, and closing the door and beating dogs would turn into opening the door to inviting thieves."...
Cheng Jiaji kept proposing plans and denying himself. Just as he was worried about how to deal with the Japanese pocket tank, he rushed out of the side of the Japanese chariot. This small team of only 20 or 30 people was divided into several groups and rushed towards the three Japanese chariots.
Cheng Jiaji saw clearly in the telescope that the first officer in uniform was his best friend Wen Songyuan in this world.
Cheng Jiaji put down the German telescope in pain, and his heart was filled with a sincere sense of powerlessness. He knew that Wen Songyuan and his friends were using the most primitive tactics to use people to take medicine to bomb the Japanese tanks.
This kind of tragic tactic is really a helpless move. Few people who perform this task will survive and it is difficult to succeed.
Faced with all this in front of him, Cheng Jiaji felt a little regretful for the first time that he insisted on not to transfer the two battalions. If the two main battalions were also on the position, at least he would dare to put the Japanese chariots in and attack. He forced Wen Songyuan and others to adopt this inferior strategy.
Cheng Jiaji knew in his heart that he didn't have so much time to hurt the spring and autumn on the battlefield. After a few seconds of annoyance, he immediately picked up the telescope and paid attention to the actions of Qi Wen Songyuan and others. After all, this is the only way to destroy these 94 chariots at present.
