Chapter 86 The Longest Night (2)
Chapter 86 The Longest Night (Two)
Zhang Xuewu, who was in charge of the command, stood in front of the sand table and did not follow the advice of Li Xinkai and Huang Tao on the armored train. Seeing that Zhang Xuewu did not listen to the advice, they had to take the guard platoon to the regiments to supervise the battle. Zhang Xuewu looked at the side ridge of Majiagou with the rumbling cannons and frowned involuntarily, and his eyes were focused on the line between Laohugou and Sengguan Peak. Where is the breakthrough point for the Japanese army?
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Xuewu picked up the phone, and soon Zhao Xinyu's hoarse voice came to one end of the phone. Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said, "Is it certain that the existing troops will hold on until noon tomorrow?"
Amid the rumbling cannons, Zhang Xuewu heard Zhao Xinyu's powerful answer! Zhang Xuewu nodded with satisfaction and looked at his watch and said, "I want to use the reserve team of the second battalion of your regiment. You must be prepared for hard fighting, and the artillery regiment cannot provide firepower support!"
Zhao Xinyu was silent for a while and said loudly: "Please rest assured! All the soldiers and soldiers of my third regiment are on the position, and they swear to live and die together with the position!"
After Zhang Xuewu put down the phone, he turned his gaze toward the direction of Tiger Gow with fierce gunshots. Since the sound of cannons sounded on the side ridge of Majiagou, he felt a little relieved. The biting dogs do not bark, and the enemy has no obligation to notify you where they are going to attack, unless the strength of the enemy and us is too different. In order to shock the enemy's courage and to hit their morale, he deliberately pointed out the direction of the attack in order to achieve the effect of defeating one blow. It can have a very good effect both politically and militaryally.
At present, the straight-line distance between Tiger Gow and Monk Guanfeng is within the range of the 75 mm caliber wild mountain cannon, so the Japanese army will not attack two support points at the same time. Is the Japanese target of Tiger Gow or Monk Guanfeng? Zhang Xuewu stood in front of the sand table and thought hard. He has now concentrated the troops of five strengthening battalions on standby, preparing to take advantage of the gap between the weak Japanese attacks and cooperate with the two chariot companies to carry out a large-scale deep assault, giving the Japanese 14th Division a heavy blow.
Finally, Zhang Xuewu's eyes fell on the position of Tiger Valley. Compared with the steep slope of almost forty degrees in Sengguan Peak and the narrow face, it seemed that Tiger Valley was easier to attack. And once the Tiger Valley was captured, the back side of the Monkguan Peak was exposed, and the Japanese army could even block the path to the summit with heavy machine guns.
Zhang Xuewu called Zhang Tianpeng, the commander of the artillery regiment, and ordered him to concentrate all the firepower of the three artillery regiments to the direction of the tiger goblet, and make sure to give the arrogant Japanese offensive troops a blow to destroy the strong morale of the Japanese army.
On the line of the Tiger Gower position, the tracer bullets fired by the heavy machine guns were whipped on the Japanese intensive attack formation like fire chains. Normal heavy machine guns had tracer bullets every five rounds. However, among the numerous heavy machine guns, there must be a machine gun that almost all uses tracer bullets. This machine gun is called a firepower indicator machine gun. The tracer bullets it fires are direct shooting directions and targets for mortars, artillery observers and infantrymen.
Often, this indicator machine gun is most likely to be destroyed by enemy firepower. For example, the remains of six or seven shooters who fell in fortifications were mostly shot on the face and chest. Even on such a storm, the Japanese special shooter, can still accurately hit the target through the flames of the machine gun.
The Japanese soldiers shouted, stumbled and launched waves of seemingly endless attacks against the wind and snow. The howling wind made the grenade launcher, which the Japanese army relied on, lose its effect. The Japanese army could only rush to a distance of more than ten meters and threw the eighth and nine heavier grenades.
Amid the waves of grenade explosions, the Japanese soldiers fell in pain in the snow, their helmets and broken limbs flew more than ten meters high and fell back to the ground, and the Japanese support artillery fire also accurately landed on the frontier positions of the Chinese defenders!
Boom! A 75mm mountain gun grenade hit a light machine gun bunker. A Czech-made light machine gun turned into parts scattered aside. The twisted barrel was wrapped with the intestines of the deputy shooter. Two unrecognizable machine gun shooters turned into incomplete coke and smoke.
The Japanese artillery bombardment also caused huge casualties to the defenders, but the frontier of the defenders was still as stable as Mount Tai with its fierce firepower, and the Japanese attacks were almost no interval.
In the barrage of Chinese defenders shooting, the Japanese army was shot and fell to the ground like a target, or rolling down, but then someone stepped on the body and continued to pounce on it with big strides. The Maxin heavy machine gun, which usually needed to add water to fire 750 rounds and three rounds of bullets, was fired only once with water. The cold wind and snowy night made the melee disordered.
The Japanese army's waves of offensives seemed to have no end. Xu Guohui in the command center of the First Regiment was not good-looking. The core position, left and right wings were attacked by the Japanese army regardless of primary and secondary. The Japanese artillery fire and our intercepting artillery fire were bombarding each other. The abandoned corpses of the Japanese army at the front were almost piled up into a bunker. Japanese soldiers slowly advanced in the corpses of their companions. The artillery shells that fell from time to time were also blowing the corpses to pieces while harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers.
Xu Guohui looked at his watch with a black face in the command center. It has been an hour and a half since the Japanese attacks. The frontier positions have defeated the Japanese army in countless attacks. Due to the unfavorable terrain, the right-wing position Li Yabing's camp was broken through several times by the Japanese army. Li Yabing led his pistols and led the Japanese army several times to counterattack. It is said that Li Yabing himself was also injured in many places, and the position was still under the control of the defenders.
Before the war, Xu Guohui and Tang Yulin's troops were recruited, they had seven strengthened battalions. He had previously drawn a company from the Third Battalion and Fourth Battalion deployed on the second and third lines to strengthen the first battalion. Li Yabing's second battalion's right wing and the fifth battalion's left wing also drawn a company from the Sixth Battalion and the Seventh Battalion to strengthen the first battalion.
Now Xu Guohui has only six companies in his reserve team to join the regiment guard company. He has mastered one-fifth of the reserve team. Zhang Xuewu's instructions made Xu Guohui hesitate slightly? In the end, Xu Guohui led the reserve team of the second company of the sixth battalion with the regiment deputy Sima Qi to the right wing to reinforce Li Yabing's second battalion.
Immediately, Xu Guohui shook the phone handle a few times, but there were various noises in the headphones!
Xu Guohui frowned and threw the red and blue pencil in his hand, and ordered the regiment staff officer Ge Weimin to answer the call from the division seat, telling the division seat that I went to the second and third-tier positions to inspect the situation. No soldier or soldier in the reserve team could move without my orders."
Before Ge Weimin could react, Xu Guohui picked up a p18 submachine gun, pulled the gun upwards and loaded the bullet. While walking, he muttered: "Grandma, the phone line has been blown off by me. It seems that the Japanese devils are really playing! Grandma's Japanese bastard, don't let me have a good time, I will take him a piece of meat even if I die."
Ge Weimin grabbed Xu Guohui's eyes and glared: "I want to go, I'll go, as the highest military commander of our regiment, you dare to leave your post without permission?"
Xu Guohui's eyes were as if he was bull's eyes, and he grabbed Ge Weimin's coat collar and shouted: "It's so great! Do you know who has the final say in this new first group? I'm! I have the final say!"
Ge Weimin left Xu Guohui with a glance and said, "I only know that the new first division is our teacher's seat. If you dare to go to the front line, I will call the teacher to stop your command!"
"Ah?" Xu Guohui was stunned!
Chapter completed!
