Tang Cheng, who saw through the Japanese army's conspiracy, was not taken seriously by Xie Chengrui. The reason was that Tang Cheng was too young and he was now a corporal. Even if Liu Yangyang mentioned it again and again, Xie Chengrui could not possibly replace Tang Cheng's military position.
Promoted to sergeant. "Forget it, Uncle Liu. I don't care about military ranks. If Commander Xie feels bad, just give me more pistol bullets. It's best to give me a few more grenades like those used by Japanese soldiers."
, that thing is good to use." Tang Cheng's arm strength was not enough, so throwing wooden handle grenades was a waste, but he was quite pleased with the Japanese oval grenade.
Tang Cheng's ability prevented Xie Chengrui's position from being attacked by the Japanese army. Naturally, Xie Chengrui agreed to all of Tang Cheng's small requests. In just a moment, Xie Chengrui's messengers sent 0 rounds to Tang Cheng.
The shell gun bullets and 5 Japanese egg-shaped grenades. "You are a fool. If it were me, I would just ask Xie for those bullets and grenades. After the war, I can go home to buy land and build a house."
What's the use of it?" Zhou Fu showed Tang Cheng his sundry bag. There were two watches in the bag alone. Counting miscellaneous other items, it was enough for Zhou Fu to go home and buy land to build a house.
"Go away, you think everyone is the same as you. Tangcheng is going to take over my squad and become the company commander. How can I be a scoundrel like you?" This encounter with the Japanese army
, made Liu Yangyang realize the role of Tan Chenggang again. Among the remaining people in the Second Company, there is absolutely no one who is as capable as Tang Cheng. Although Tang Cheng's mind is sometimes not very bright, it definitely does not affect Tang Cheng.
Cheng will become a qualified commander in the future, Liu Yangyang firmly believes in this.
Tang Cheng, who was sandwiched between Liu Yangyang and Zhou Fu, was a little embarrassed. When did he become the hot potato? Liu Yangyang's affectionateness made Tang Cheng difficult to accept for a while. The soldiers of the second battalion kept chasing the soldiers of Hecun Squadron.
After running for three or four miles, the officer leading the team was afraid of falling into a Japanese trap, so he led the team back. There were less than 30 Japanese soldiers who could actually escape alive. After several consecutive days of losing battles, Xie Chengrui's troops finally
It was a great victory.
The Second Company, which had made great contributions, was canceled by Xie Chengrui from the mission to ambush the Japanese scouts. The heartbroken Guo Tianbao and the others were also canceled from the mission. After a tough fight with Xie Chengrui, Guo Tianbao and his seven men temporarily
Joined the Second Company and came under the command of Liu Yangyang. The 15-man Second Company was restored to the strength of 23 people. "Your 51st Division withdrew from Chunhua Town just as you were talking. If you go over now, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Those who were attacked by the Japanese army would be better off staying here with us, and maybe we can still see people from your old army."
Liu Yangyang's dissuasion did not sound good to Guo Tianbao. He said that the 51st Division would soon withdraw from Chunhua Town. Doesn't that mean that the 51st Division could not withstand the Japanese offensive? But Guo Tianbao and the others would not be able to do it if they did not stay.
, when the Second Company was cleaning the battlefield, two groups of wounded soldiers from the 51st Division had already crossed here and retreated to the city. Although the two groups of wounded soldiers were not very large, Guo Tianbao knew the war in Chunhua Town.
It is definitely not optimistic. Guo Tianbao is also a human being, and he is also afraid of death. Since he already knows that the situation in Chunhua Town is not good, only a fool would foolishly run back to die.
Three hours later, the position that had been resting for a while was attacked by Japanese artillery fire. Liu Yangyang was also accused by the second company of being a disaster star. If he hadn't said that Chunhua Town would have been defeated soon, the Japanese artillery fire this time
It will not come. The 51st Division really couldn't stand it in Chunhua Town. After several strong attacks by aircraft, artillery and tanks from the Japanese 114th Division, the 51st Division suffered heavy casualties according to the 74th Army Headquarters.
Guo Tianbao saw only the wounded who retreated first. The main force of the 51st Division had already suffered all their casualties, and the remaining people evacuated Chunhua Town in batches a few hours later.
The scouts of the training team who went out for reconnaissance under artillery fire discovered that more than 500 Japanese troops were marching here. They immediately reported the situation to the regiment leader Xie Chengrui. After discussions between Xie Chengrui and his officers, Xie Chengrui decided to use a member of the second battalion as a soldier.
In order to attract the Japanese firepower for frontal defense, the remaining two companies of the Second Battalion were stationed on the left side of the position, while Liu Yangyang led the 23-man Second Company and a platoon from the 51st Division to escort the wounded to the right side of the position.
Without much waiting, the Japanese soldiers who appeared in everyone's sight roared towards the Second Battalion's position like vigorous wild boars. It should have been the Japanese soldiers who escaped back who reported the situation, otherwise this group of Japanese soldiers
They would not attack directly without stopping. Xie Chengrui immediately ordered the frontal defense troops to try their best to contain the Japanese army and prevent the Japanese army from reinforcing the outflanking troops. Liu Yangyang, who had performed several times with outstanding performance, made Xie Chengrui very satisfied with the second company.
, Xie Chengrui believed that the Second Company on the right wing would be a surprise force in a stalemate.
Obviously the right wing of the second company's position was close to the road. Tang Cheng, who was crouched in the trench, couldn't figure out why the Japanese army didn't attack here first, but insisted on fighting with the middle position angrily, while the Japanese army deployed flanking detour troops.
They were also heading towards the left-wing position. It seemed that the right-wing position of the Second Company had been forgotten by this group of Japanese soldiers. "Are you stupid? If the little Japs don't come to attack us, why don't you rush to send them there to be shot?"
Zhou Fu was dissatisfied with Tang Cheng's disappointed expression and hit Tang Cheng with small stones.
After waking up, Tang Cheng quietly moved his position so that he could be farther away from Zhou Fu. Just as the two of them were talking in a low voice, the battle started unexpectedly. This position of the teaching team had already withstood the Japanese artillery bombardment.
, and Xie Chengrui strictly ordered the soldiers in the trenches not to expose their targets at will, so the Japanese troops who came with the force did not expect that they would encounter such a fierce obstruction. When the two heavy machine guns of the Second Battalion fired at the main position, most of them
The Japanese soldiers actually panicked, which was something the proud Japanese army would never tolerate.
After experiencing the initial panic, the Japanese army began to calm down and launched a counterattack. The exchange of fire between the two sides only lasted for two or three minutes, and the gap between the Japanese soldiers and the Japanese soldiers was already obvious. "Look carefully, this is what happened.
The real elite troops of the Japs, this is not the second-rate troops of the Japs we encountered." Liu Yangyang handed his telescope to Tang Cheng who was eager to try it out. The ultra-long viewing range of the telescope satisfied Tang Cheng's desire.
The desire to observe the battle also gave Tang Cheng a real understanding of the Japanese army.
The Japanese soldiers who appeared in the telescope were not as helpless as Tang Cheng imagined. Instead, those khaki figures with rifles in their waists were actively organizing attacks. The combat effectiveness of those Japanese soldiers made Tang Cheng dumbfounded.
I can't imagine how a small Japanese soldier could run so fast while carrying a backpack and a rifle. Moreover, they had to shoot and throw grenades while running. If they were carrying a large backpack,
Then if you run at that speed, you may not be able to run 0 meters and you will be out of breath.
Tang Cheng, who had fought with the Japanese army, was no longer a new recruit on the battlefield. This was Tang Cheng's first time to observe the Japanese army at close range. Liu Yangyang did not have a telescope, but this did not delay him from explaining the Japanese attack formation to Tang Cheng carefully.
And the so-called tactical arrangements, looking through the battlefield notes left by Xie Bo, combined with Liu Yangyang's explanation at this time, Tang Cheng had a new understanding of the Japanese army. It turned out that the Japanese army was not as easy to fight as he thought, at least the same number
The Japanese army is absolutely no match for them.
There are many factors that contribute to the low combat effectiveness of the army. Xie Bo only wrote about weapons and equipment and the quality of soldiers in his notes. But from the scene in Tangcheng, the most important thing is the on-site command of the officers. Tangcheng's telescope has been aimed at a group of soldiers.
He has been known as a sergeant of the Japanese army for a long time. Judging from the size of this group of Japanese soldiers, this should be the size of a Japanese army squadron or above. A small sergeant can be a small squad leader at most, but through the telescope in Tangcheng,
The Japanese sergeant commanded dozens of Japanese soldiers to charge left and right in front of the Second Battalion's position.
It would be impossible to see this in the army of the Communist Party of China. All the officers of the Communist Party of China that Tangcheng has seen are all people with a great desire for power. They will never allow their subordinates who are not officers to be so free.
Commanding the troops. Tang Cheng did not know that if a superior officer in the Japanese army died in battle, a lower-level officer would automatically take over the command of the army. The Japanese sergeant who he had stared at for a while should have taken over the power of the squad leader.
Directing the attack.
While Liu Yangyang was explaining the Japanese attack tactics to Tangcheng, Xie Chengrui was actively responding to the Japanese attack. Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, more than 500 Japanese troops were directly divided into two groups. One wave of more than 100 people mainly attacked the center of the second battalion position, while the other groups
The Japanese army directly used mortars and grenade launchers to attack the left wing position of the Second Battalion amid rumbling explosions.
When Xie Chengrui saw the Japanese army's arrangement through the telescope, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth. Even Liu Yangyang didn't know that Xie Chengrui had also deployed a reserve team behind the left wing position of the Second Battalion of Jiuzi. The reserve team was
An infantry company of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment. The fully-manned reserve team was originally used by Xie Chengrui for counterattacks. Unexpectedly, I judged the Japanese army's idea correctly. It seems that the reserve team will join the battle earlier.
.
Under the cover of artillery fire from the roundabout troops, the Japanese army finally began to charge. After Xie Chengrui saw this situation, although he was a little suspicious, he despised the Japanese army even more in his heart. Everything was going according to the original plan. Once the left wing position was
If those two infantry companies blocked the offensive momentum of the Japanese flanking troops, he would order the reserve team to seize the opportunity to rush out, and then concentrate his superior forces to catch the Japanese troops off guard.
