The power of the 105 howitzer really opened the eyes of people like Zhou Weihan who had never seen the world. It can be said that they experienced it immersively.
However, the soldiers on the enemy's position did not even have a chance to struggle under the artillery fire. The bodies of the enemy soldiers near the impact point of the artillery shells were torn to pieces, and those farther away were also blown away by the shock wave of the airflow.
The two 105 howitzers fired 40 shells indirectly, more from the artillery battalion's mountain cannon and the Type 92 infantry gun.
Xu Dali looked at the enemies on the enemy's first line of defense who had been bombed, and said: "Political commissar, these shells are very exciting, but if we continue like this, we will have a chance to show off!"
Xu Dali said, turned around and picked up the phone: "Hey, Lao Chen, this is Xu Dali, let me tell you how rich your artillery battalion is, and the artillery shells are hitting like this, and you can't survive!"
Then Xu Dali glanced at his watch and said: "The heat is almost over. The bombardment will stop in three minutes. Our regiment will occupy the enemy's first line of defense first!"
The artillery was supposed to cooperate with the infantry in combat. Hearing Xu Dali's request, Chen Feng on the other end of the phone directly agreed. After all, it was the artillery battalion's wealth that was being consumed.
Xu Dali stared at the hands on the dial, saw that the time was almost up, and shouted: "Comrades, rush!"
The second regiment and one battalion immediately launched a charge. The soldiers jumped out of the trenches and formed a group of three people. Each fighting group was seven or eight meters apart.
The three battalions remaining on the position were waiting for the opportunity, ready to suppress the enemy's firepower at any time.
The troops of the two battalions successfully captured the enemy's first line of defense. At this time, the enemy troops in the first trench were either killed or the second line of defense behind the escape route.
Xu Dali took a look and saw that the phone line had not yet been pulled over. At that time, he ordered: "Communicator, go tell Battalion Commander Chen of the artillery battalion and request that the artillery fire be extended to hit the enemy's second defensive position!"
As soon as the order was given, a loud noise suddenly came from the east, followed by flames shooting into the sky.
Zhou Weihan was at the rear, and he could feel a tremor under his feet.
Soon after, the monk hurried over to report and said sadly: "Commander, the comrades of the Independent Brigade said that the enemy laid a large number of explosives on the first position before retreating, and the comrades who occupied the position did not attack in time.
It was discovered that the enemy took the opportunity to detonate the explosives, and all the soldiers of the battalion were killed!"
"Damn it!" Zhou Weihan cursed.
The remnants of Shi You San gathered in the village were all his direct descendants. They originally fled all the way to the west, but were stopped by Ding Wei and others. Their morale was low. As a result, Shi You San directly made it clear that they would stay here for one night and the Japanese reinforcements would arrive early tomorrow morning.
arrive.
In addition, a war team was organized to supervise the war, and hundreds of people died at the gunfire of the war team alone.
When our army was exchanging fire with the enemy troops on the first line of defense, the enemy troops on the second line of defense of Shiyou Sanshi took the opportunity to dig air raid shelters. The power of the heavy artillery was greatly reduced, and for a time, Shiyou Sanjie stabilized the precarious second line of defense.
!
"Old Zhou, night battles are not easy to fight. This is all to be expected. It was so easy to break through the enemy's first position before because the enemy was unprepared and was stunned by the heavy artillery!
The headquarters has given an order, let each regiment send people into the position in batches to harass the enemy!" Zhao Gang advised.
"Damn it, you centipede insect is dead but not stiff!" Zhou Weihan couldn't bear to think about it.
Subsequently, Zhou Weihan ordered each regiment to send people into the position in batches, not giving the enemy a chance to rest and breathe.
.......
At around ten o'clock that night, Wang Yigong's Third Battalion of the Fourth Regiment was stationed on the position.
Neither side fired a shot. A large pot was propped up in the trench, with large pieces of fat in the pot boiling with soup.
The commander of the third battalion, Yang Xiansheng, was squatting beside the cauldron, twitching his nose. Although the other soldiers were lying on the trench, they were all staring at the cauldron.
"No matter what I look at, my eyes are fixed on the enemy on the opposite side, and it doesn't matter to us. This is what the commander has prepared for the enemy on the opposite side! Just take a look!" Yang Xiansheng said.
"Captain, what did the commander think? What a good thing, why are you preparing it for the enemy?" The soldier on the side said, wiping the saliva from his mouth.
"Look at your potential. In the words of the commander, this is called bringing warmth to the enemy on the opposite side!"
"But don't tell me, since I joined the Eighth Route Army, my life has been much better than when I was in the Sichuan Army, but now I still can't walk when I smell the smell of meat!" Yang Xiansheng said with emotion.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, a gust of south wind happened to blow. Yang Xiansheng immediately picked up the iron trumpet and shouted: "Brothers of the 69th Army, we are so late now. I wonder if you have eaten?"
"The fighting has been going on for three days, and we have almost lost all the food supplies. The officers enjoy the delicious food and drink in the village, but they let you starve here,"
"It's really unreasonable. We specially killed a big fat pig. As long as every one comes over, there will be meat for sure!"
As he said that, Yang Xiansheng took the chopsticks from the guard's hand and directly picked a piece of fat meat from the pot and put it in his mouth: "Well, I really want to, my mouth is full of oil!"
Yang Xiansheng didn't know whether the enemy troops on the opposite side were greedy, but the guards around him were so greedy that they kept slurping and swallowing: "Commander, please take a break and let me shout a few words."
!”
"Why, I'm greedy. Wait a minute. If the enemy doesn't make any move, our third battalion will just start eating meat today!" Yang Xiansheng said.
On the enemy's position.
"Damn, that's so annoying! I've never been so angry!"
"What's going on, Song Laowen, if you're really hungry, you can eat over there!" another person said.
"You really think I'm a stick, don't say anything about the Eighth Route Army, you can outrun the bullets of the supervising team!" Song Laowen said.
"Hehe, you can't say for sure. It's all in the dark now. You can't see anyone after running five or six meters. As long as the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side doesn't fire when the time comes, you'll be fine!"
"Besides, it's dark now and the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire has stopped. The artillery shells are sure to hit you at dawn tomorrow. It's said that the Japanese reinforcements will arrive early. But look at us, we are definitely cannon fodder. We might as well surrender to the Eighth Route Army now!" Wang Ergen!
said.
"Okay, brother Ergen, I will listen to you. People like us may die at any time, and I just want to eat some fat!"
Wang Ergen waved, and the two of them ran out of the trench and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
An officer from the supervising team reacted and opened fire with a machine gun, but it had no effect. It did frighten other enemy troops who were about to move.
"Commander of the Eighth Route Army, don't shoot, we surrender!"
Song Laowen and the two rolled into the trench and threw their guns aside.
"Sir, does what you just said count?"
"Of course it counts, guard, take them both to eat meat!" Yang Xiansheng said with a big wave of his hand.
Later, at Yang Xiansheng's signal, the two of them took lunch boxes and took turns shouting in the trench: "Brothers, I am Song Laowang, and I am eating meat at the Eighth Route Army commander's side. Not to mention, it is very delicious!
"
Song Laowen puffed out his chest and shook his head.
The reason why Zhou Weihan sent Yang Xiansheng to handle this matter was because when he first joined the New Second Regiment, Zhou Weihan saw that he was full of bad ideas and was a rotten person.
The supervising team is not iron-clad, and there are always moments of negligence. With Song Laowei and Wang Ergen's exemplary leadership, enemy troops from the opposite side sneak over from time to time.
Yang Xiansheng was also surprised when he heard the number of people reported by the guard: "Damn, so many people are here?"
