990. The unwilling Japanese army began to counterattack
Sure enough, as expected by Sangou, as soon as the day came, the Japanese army was unwilling to lose their positions, and immediately began shelling, and after the correction of several guns, a round of dense artillery covered the position of the ninth company.
Fortunately, the company was not put together, and fortunately, the Ninth Company seized the time to dig bunkers, and the Ninth Company, which was accustomed to guerrilla warfare on Baohua Mountain, has now truly tasted the power of the Japanese regular artillery.
This overwhelming suffocating bombardment made everyone breathe, and the position was almost plowed a few times, and it was blown to tatters, but fortunately, the fortifications built by the Japanese army in advance were very complete, and the nine companies were deepened and strengthened before dawn.
Although the Ninth Company was a guerrilla force in Baohua Mountain, it rarely fought regular warfare, but several platoon commanders and company commanders were veterans of the Battle of Songhu.
They naturally understood that when they came to this field unit, the style of fighting was completely different from that of the regular Japanese army, urging the soldiers to dig fortifications desperately.
Several soldiers were about to vomit blood, but seeing that the company commander Tienon himself was holding a sapper shovel and digging hard, he didn't say anything and continued to dig.
However, if it weren't for the relatively complete fortifications of the Japanese army in advance, Sangou would probably have withdrawn the main force of the Ninth Company, leaving at most one platoon of men to deal with the orders from above.
Although this kind of slippery head combat should not be, it is also necessary to look at the actual situation, rather than wasting the lives of a large number of fighters and then it is useless to fight the results, it is better to preserve the strength first.
Of course, this is based on the commander's rich experience and keen observation, and flexible combat is not a slippery battle that avoids reality and is virtual, and in this case, large units will not be able to fight.
Sangou knew from Tienon's side that the Japanese army's fortifications were very strong and complete, so he was relieved, with such fortifications, he would definitely not give up easily, unless there was an order from above.
The Japanese army is also learning to be obedient now, I remember that in the past, the fortifications of the Japanese army were very ordinary, of course, they were very neat and careful, but there were not many anti-artillery functions and not many bunkers.
Now it's different, after fighting with the main force elite, I found that there are still cannons in the middle, at least there are still mountain artillery, general fortifications, 75 mountain artillery is no problem, it can be easily destroyed.
In fact, there are also large-caliber field heavy artillery, of course, the number is very small, almost negligible, but like Sangou, their 51st Division has a divisional artillery battalion, equipped with 75 mountain artillery.
Therefore, the Japanese army paid more and more attention to the construction of fortifications, in order not to be artillery, they had to dig deep bunkers, and now they are facing the elite 74th Army, and they have no reason not to pay attention to fortifications.
Therefore, Sangou really carried out the order of the regiment headquarters, that is, to hold the position that he grabbed last night, as a battalion commander, in the face of a company-level position, it is definitely impossible to stuff the whole battalion into it.
Passive defense is far less effective than active or offensive defense, not to mention that now that the army is strong and strong, with the support of a large army behind it, why not have an active and flexible tactical defense?
Sangou thought so, of course, several company commanders below also understood Sangou's thoughts, the Ninth Company is now holding on, and as soon as the Japanese artillery passed, the tanks were immediately dispatched and rumbled, followed by a string of infantry.
Looking at this scene, Tie Nong couldn't help but feel as if he had returned to the battlefields of Songhu and Nanjing a year ago, and this familiar feeling arose.
How many times, in my dreams, I look forward to returning to the big battle of the field troops
How many times, in the mountains, I have been waiting for such an opportunity.
Now, the opportunity has finally come, Tienon took a deep breath of the cold air in the cold winter morning, mixed with the thick smell of cannonballs, yes, this is the smell, too familiar and missed.
Several platoon commanders under him also took their respective platoons according to their combat missions, distributed on the three lines of defense, and even on the flanks, there were the main forces of the three dogs waiting and waiting.
The veterans took the new recruits, calmly waiting for the Japanese tanks, several BP groups against one tank of the Japanese army, and in the face of this company-level defensive position, the Japanese army sent four tanks, which can be described as a bloody investment.
This is a salient of the Japanese position, which was occupied by the three dogs and their ninth company, and the Japanese army was naturally very unwilling, and the artillery bombarded for so long, and they had to drive tanks over.
In the face of such a luxurious package, Tie Nong's eyes were red with envy, if his troops had such treatment, how could it be so difficult to fight a little devil.
It's a pity that no, there is almost no such high-standard treatment in the whole of China, so don't think about it, you can only use the lives of "worthless" Chinese soldiers to fill the big hole dug by this country.
Before reaching the 400-meter area, the Japanese tanks began to fire reconnaissance, and in the face of the bombed position, the Japanese were quite cautious, not sure if there was any living life on the position.
After all, the Japanese army that fought with China always felt that it was difficult for the Chinese to blow up to death, and there would always be people rushing out of the ruins.
Without the order of the platoon commander, all recruits and veterans are not allowed to shoot, this is the strict battlefield discipline established by the Ninth Company Tienon, especially in the face of the Japanese army's fire reconnaissance, let alone foolishly expose their own firepower points and positions.
Those n can't shoot anymore, and the point fire of the Japanese tanks is just to attract the middle fire points and personnel positions, so they can't be fooled.
Although the recruits were driven out of the bunker to seize the position by the platoon commander just now, they were really shocked in the face of the iron guys like tanks, and some of them were already trembling and weak.
"Get closer." Tienon repeatedly told Li Hailong, the commander of the third platoon in the first position, this veteran who was extremely brave on Baohua Mountain, was also in the trench at this time, silently calculating the time and the distance of the Japanese tanks.
It was already 50 meters, and the Japanese not only had tanks firing at point N, but also infantry in the rear, and they had knocked the grenadiers into the trenches of the positions on this side.
Even if some soldiers were blown up by grenades, Li Hailong remained unmoved, and waited until the observer reported that the tank had reached a position of 20 meters.
Li Hailong threw out the smoke bomb, and several recruits around him also threw SN at the tank, and for a while, the tank at the front was shrouded in a cloud of black smoke, and the Japanese infantry behind was also blown up by the SN and had to lie down.
When will you not rush at this time?
The BP group waited for this moment, and the two groups of men and horses immediately turned out of the position, and while throwing the SN, they rushed into the smoke with their bags in their arms, pounced on the tank, and pulled the bags.
"Boom! Rumble! "The loud bang of the successive bs shook the positions and the heartstrings of the recruits, and the first tank was overturned by a strong b in the smoke.
The recruits in the position couldn't help cheering, and were scolded back by the platoon leader and squad leader.
As soon as the devil's tank overturned, the infantry behind suffered, and the N and SN on this side beckoned over together, so that these infantry could only lie on the ground and dare not move.
A few Japanese infantry dared to risk death and rushed forward, thinking that an area of only thirty meters would be reached with a charge, but they did not expect that the dense guns and bullets of the defenders would suddenly beat several of them into a sieve. 11
