Chapter 459 The Battle of Zhangshan (3)
The national army on the mountainside is busy preparing for war.
The national army officers and soldiers on the hilltop were also busy shoveling out an artillery position. After all, the hill was not very flat, so they could only rely on manpower to make up for it.
"Speed up, speed up! The enemy is about to attack! Hurry!" The person responsible for commanding at the scene is Zhou Fangjie. After all, this is considered a big operation. With a deputy commander here to command, many things will be easier to handle.
many.
At this time, the top of Zhangshan Mountain in the dark night has become a large construction site, and the contractor is Deputy Head Zhou Fangjie...
…
It didn't take long for the Japanese army to sneak into Zhangshan.
Although the Japanese army does not like to fight at night, it does not mean that they will not fight at night, but because fighting during the day can maximize the advantages of its artillery firepower and air force firepower.
In the endless night, one by one, the Japanese soldiers were bending down and holding these 38-gauge guns or light machine guns in their hands. The Japanese soldiers at the beginning had those 38-gauge guns or light machine guns, but the Japanese soldiers behind them were not.
Most of the Japanese troops in the back were carrying grenades.
After all, the grenade is one of the most convenient and effective weapons in their weapon system, especially for supporting close combat, it is very convenient!
"Ha Youku, hurry up, hurry up, speed up!" the Japanese army's grassroots commanders shouted in a low voice. After all, Tang Enbo's army did not give them much time.
The Japanese soldiers didn't say anything, but their pace quickened a lot.
For these Japanese soldiers, they have been brainwashed by the so-called "bushido spirit" to the point where they have turned into war machines with no thoughts and only know about war and killing.
Zhang Tianhai used a telescope on the mountain to watch the scenes at the bottom of the mountain, and his brows were already deeply furrowed: Although he could use the surrounding scenes as a reference to judge that the Japanese army was gradually groping forward, but judging from the current situation, he was still there for the time being.
These little devils have nothing to do, everything has to wait until they get close.
Naturally, you can kill one or two Japs by shooting, but you have to pay a price, such as exposing the location of the combat position. In serious cases, it will also attract artillery fire from the Japanese army.
This is not a simple game of chicken, where you have a better chance of winning if you become Voldemort and use cold shots. It is not as simple as a single player with four rows in the game. This is a duel between thousands or even tens of thousands of people!
At this moment, the veterans from the first battalion who were exchanged from the special agent company as squad leaders came into play.
"Prepare the grenades, open all the screw caps, and wait until the little Japs get close!" The squad leaders of the Zhiyi Regiment and Battalion were all instructing the brothers around them. After all, the soldiers in this battalion were basically composed of
Made up of new recruits.
These new recruits have no battlefield experience, and they only rely on the teachings of these squad leaders who were exchanged from the special agent company.
Regarding the use of the Secret Service Company, Zhang Tianhai not only regards the Secret Service Company as a special-purpose company, but also wants to build the Special Service Company into a company that can serve as a demonstration and even as a teaching force.
, that is to say, every soldier who leaves the special agent company has the ability to serve as a squad leader.
However, due to time constraints, this expectation cannot be realized immediately, and there is no way around it.
"Listen, everyone, no one is allowed to throw grenades without permission to alert the enemy before receiving my order!" Xu Dalian, the third squad leader of the first platoon of the second company, who was in the middle of the position, said.
"Yes, squad leader." The soldiers around Xu Dalian responded.
Like all the squad leaders of other squads in the First Battalion, Xu Dalian was transferred from the Special Agent Company to the First Battalion as squad leader. At this time, his energetic eyes were full of murderous intent.
The secret service company can be said to be the company that Zhang Tianhai values the most. Even the guard platoon guarding the regiment headquarters has never seen Zhang Tianhai take it so seriously.
In Zhang Tianhai's words, the enemy has already reached the regiment headquarters. As for what a platoon of guards can do, it can only protect two more cadres from escaping. From the perspective of the battle or the battle itself, this one
The battle has been lost.
But this does not mean that the guard platoon does not need to train, but the training intensity is far less than that of the special agent company.
After all, the functions of the security platoon are different from those of the secret service company.
The rustling sound got closer and closer, and Xu Dalian finally ordered his brothers to throw grenades.
"Throw!"
At Xu Dalian's order, a dozen grenades from the third squad were thrown forward, smelling of gunpowder smoke.
Since the officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment were in a condescending position to the Japanese army, the grenades had to be thrown relatively far away.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
After the explosion of the grenade, there were also screams from the Japanese soldiers.
It was this scream mixed with the explosion of grenades that woke up the other squad leaders of the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion, and they ordered their soldiers to throw grenades forward.
After a series of violent explosions, the battle was officially announced.
In this series of explosions, the Japanese army suffered many casualties, but they also achieved their initial goal, which was to set up some grenade launchers.
The national army officers and soldiers were desperately throwing grenades forward, and the explosions never stopped, and many unlucky little Japanese were hit by grenades.
After the grenades stopped throwing, the machine gunners of the regiments and battalions were ready to fire those angry bullets at any time.
Sure enough, after the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment stopped throwing grenades, the Japanese army began to charge under the cover of small grenade shells.
"Boom!~~"
"Boom!~~"
"Boom!~~"
Small artillery shells from grenades densely covered the national army's forward positions, and then the Japanese troops launched a charge. Because of the limited time, these Japanese troops actually used the pig attack tactic regardless of casualties!
Countless Japanese soldiers screamed "Long live the Emperor" and then rushed towards the mountain. However, because this hillside was relatively steep, their charging slogans did not keep up with their footsteps.
Many Japanese soldiers even slipped and fell directly on the hillside in the dark night, and even trapped other Japanese soldiers behind them.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
Small grenade shells exploded on the Zhiyi Regiment's position, but they did not suppress the momentum of the officers and soldiers of the Zhiyi Regiment throwing grenades down the mountain.
The grenades were thrown far away by the officers and soldiers of the regiment, and then exploded.
Also showing their power were light and heavy machine guns, and even the mortars of the machine gun company, as well as the mortars specially reinforced by the regiment headquarters for the first battalion position, began to fire shells overnight to suppress fire.
The fire suppression was very fierce for a while, but don't forget, Zhang Tianhai reinforced each company in each main infantry battalion of the Zhiyi Regiment with three grenade launchers, plus a crooked light machine gun.
Don't underestimate the small ratio of three grenades in each company. Three companies, that's nine grenades...
Nine grenade launchers, that's not the key. The key is that the grenade launchers have a fast rate of fire, are convenient, and have extremely high maneuverability. If you just put them together, they will become a small artillery group.
What's more, the current firepower of the Zhiyi Regiment has reached the level of one light machine gun per squad, and the reinforcement of the cannon company and mortar company, coupled with these grenades, can almost make up for the short-range firepower.
Support is empty.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
There were explosions everywhere, whether it was the national army positions or the Japanese charging roads, there were strong lights and loud noises in the dark night before dawn.
At the same time, there were also bursts of screams. It was obvious that the Japanese army made more screams. Their twenty or so grenade launchers alone could not withstand the grenade launchers on the opposite side. There were also light and heavy grenade launchers.
The officers and soldiers of the Zhiyi Regiment were reinforced with machine guns and eight mortars.
Not to mention anything else, just the intensive throwing of grenades is enough for these Japanese soldiers to eat a pot.
This upward attack was already at a disadvantage, and the fire suppression was not able to keep up. The Japanese army still used the pig attack tactic with extremely high population density!
The Japanese army encountered such ferocious suppressive firepower that they could no longer withstand it. The soldiers rushing in front slipped and fell, and the officers and soldiers behind them also fell. It can be described as a chain reaction.
Soon, the extremely unpleasant pig surprise tactics used by these Japanese troops failed here...
After the Japanese army dropped hundreds of corpses, they retreated. There was nothing they could do... holding on to such ferocious firepower would only increase casualties.
Therefore, the clever Japanese commander could only choose to retreat. After all, after the artillery positions were set up, he would not be so passive.
Although they wanted to conduct a trial attack before, no one wants to complete the mission in the first attack, and only the most ferocious attack can test the enemy's true firepower!
