Chapter 926: Counterattack on Zhang Gushan
As the commander of the 51st Division, Wang Yaowu naturally knows the true combat effectiveness of the 305th Regiment.
Originally, he wanted to withdraw the 305th Regiment for rest, but Zhang Pu, the commander of the 305th Regiment, had a strong request for battle, and the officers and soldiers also had a strong desire to fight.
Therefore, after Wang Yaowu considered it, he decided that the 305th Regiment would be the main attack force tonight.
After Zhang Pu, the commander of the 305th Regiment, asked for permission to fight, he immediately returned to the camp to prepare for tonight's counteroffensive......
The little devil did not sit idle after recapturing the Zhanggushan position, and the enemy carried out the order to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and stepped up the construction of fortifications on the position.
After the devils occupied the position and stabilized their positions, they increased their forces to defend Zhang Gushan.
The Zhanggushan position was a springboard for the Japanese army to counterattack and break through, so the Japanese army would hold its position desperately.
By midnight, the 305th Regiment had assembled its attacking forces and was ready to attack the position for a counteroffensive.
During the day, the Japanese army had aircraft and artillery, and the Japanese had various advantages in firepower, and if the Nationalist army counterattacked, it would not only be difficult to regain the position, but would increase more casualties.
The 51st Division of the National Army concentrated a number of large-caliber artillery, and when the order was given, the artillerymen immediately launched an artillery bombardment.
The 51st Division is an ace German armor division with a lot of large-caliber artillery, and the destructive power of the artillery is not inferior to that of the little devil troops.
Suddenly, the sound of artillery shelling sounded from the positions in the distance of Zhang Gushan.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom......"
One after another, artillery shells mixed with the line of fire flew towards the position of Zhang Gushan in the distance.
A few seconds later, the rain of shells fell and smashed on the devil's position, and the shells exploded everywhere.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of the violent explosion was deafening, and the flames of the explosion were continuous.
The little devils on the position were all holding their positions, many of them were resting, and the enemy did not expect a sudden artillery attack at all.
The cannonball smashed down, and the little devil who was resting was directly blown to pieces by the cannonball.
The little devil soldiers, people and weapons near the explosion point flew into the air at the same time.
"Uhhh......h
The little devils on the battlefield were screaming again and again by artillery fire, and the corpses of devils fell from the sky.
The artillery fire on the side of the national army was very fierce, and hundreds of little devils died under the artillery fire without even having time to react.
In the distance, shells flew like a sea of shells, and many of the fortifications that had just been built by the little devils on the position were all collapsed by the shells.
Without the protection of the fortifications, the casualties of the devil soldiers increased.
Suddenly, the little devil soldiers on the position were in a mess, and the enemy shouted loudly.
"Beware of artillery fire, artillery fire, hide !!"
"Yaga, damn the Chinese artillery!!"
The little devils cursed and cursed on the position, and the enemy was embarrassed to burrow into the bunkers and fortifications with weapons.
The shells continued to explode in the crowd of devils, and the escaped little devil soldiers continued to die tragically under the fire.
The artillery fire was so fierce that even if the little devils on the enemy's position didn't have time to save people, the enemy only cared about self-protection and evadation.
The artillery fire continued to cover it, and the fortifications collapsed at the touch of a button, and many little devils were pressed under the bunker fortifications.
The artillery of the national army continued to fire shells, as if the shells were not for money.
The little devils held their heads and shrank in the fortifications tremblingly, and some of the little devils were shattered by the shock and their internal organs were shattered on the spot, and they bled to death on the spot.
"Tom ......"
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The explosion of shells rang out incessantly.
The rain of shells came one after another, ploughing every corner of Zhanggushan's position.
Previously, the terrain of Zhanggushan's position was relatively high, and after repeated tug-of-war battles between the two sides, most of the mountains in Zhanggushan's position were almost razed to the ground.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of shells fell on the position.
After the intensive bombardment of the artillery of the national army, the Zhanggushan position suffered at least several hundred casualties, and the little devils who were not killed were also dizzy by the shells and lost their combat effectiveness.
There were explosions and fires everywhere on the battlefield, and the corpses of the devil soldiers fell on the ground.
The filamentous shape of the devils is very miserable, most of the devils were torn apart by shells, and few corpses are intact......
After the little devil was shelled, the commander of the devil in the Zhanggushan position immediately called and asked for artillery support.
However, the position of the national army was too far away from the heavy artillery position of the little devil, and the artillery of the devil could not accurately cover the heavy artillery position of the national army.
The devils were trapped in the Wanjialing area, and after a few days of hard fighting, the consumption of various materials and ammunition was very huge, and besides, many of the materials that were airlifted down fell to the position of the national army.
Therefore, the Japanese army is also short of ammunition now, and it is impossible to bomb indiscriminately and uncontrollably as before.
Under the orders of the commander, the devil artillery had no choice but to shell in the general direction of the artillery positions of the national army.
Soon, the Japanese artillery carried out an artillery counterattack.
"The defenders of the front line are almost overwhelmed, and the artillery is attacking quickly!!"
The devil artillerymen quickly loaded the shells and bombarded the positions in the distance.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The devil's artillery fire continued to pour out into the distance, and all of a sudden the little devil used several tons of shells.
The artillery positions of the national army were very hidden, and each artillery position had strong bunker fortifications, so the little devil just wasted shells in vain and did not pose any threat to the artillery positions of the national army.
The artillery counterattack of the devils did not relieve the pressure on the defenders at the front.
The little devil could not give up the Zhanggushan position, and the enemy could only desperately withstand the fierce artillery bombardment, so that the casualties of the devil reached nearly 500 people.
"Bagaya Road, damn the Chinese artillery!!"
"The Imperial soldiers withstood the artillery fire, held their positions, and were not allowed to evacuate their positions!!"
The devil officers and soldiers stubbornly held their positions.
The casualties of the devil officers and soldiers were so great that the medical personnel could not save them at all.
Many devil military doctors and medics ran to save people, but as a result, they themselves were killed by shells, and the devils had to give up the wounded and let the seriously wounded wait for death.
The artillery of the national army bombarded the position for more than ten minutes, and the position was covered with countless potholes and shell craters, and the enemy's field defense line position almost collapsed.
After all, the artillery units of the national army had limited shells, and it was impossible to bomb them uncontrollably.
After a few more minutes, the national artillery fire became weaker.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officers and men of the 305th Regiment of the 51st Division of the National Army, under the leadership of the regiment commander Zhang Pu, quickly launched a night attack on the devil soldiers in the Zhanggushan position.
The artillerymen fired several flares at the devil's position, and the flares emitted a dazzling light that illuminated the devil's position on the ground.
"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane......"
Flares slowly fall from the sky.
