Chapter 457: Afternoon After the War (Page 1/1)

The Takeda Brigade's attack on the second-line position ended with several smoke grenades fired from Type 89 grenadiers.

The last group of Japanese troops at the breakthrough shot smoke bombs as a cover for retreat, and the Japanese troops had been throwing grenades before, and the Japanese troops operating grenadiers at the end of the line suddenly switched to smoke bombs, and the Japanese troops at the end of the line retreated in a hurry.

The Japanese troops near the breakthrough were the end of the entire Japanese army, and these smoke bombs were the end of the Japanese troops at the breakthrough point, and some Japanese troops even directly held grenadiers and fired smoke bombs at the front-line positions of the Zhou Pu battalion without support.

After smoke rose from the positions of the Nationalist troops, the Japanese troops at the rear of these lines retreated.

The battle, which began in the morning and lasted from half a day to noon, ended with the retreat of the Japanese army, and the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, the main bearer of the attack on the Japanese in this battle - the 1st Battalion of the 65th Regiment of the New 22nd Division, completed its task in the fierce battle and held its position.

Zhang Wei's teaching brigade was unexpectedly not taken care of by the Japanese army in this battle, Zhang Wei was in the second line of position, and under low pressure, he adopted a conservative strategy, and the first battalion of the 65th Regiment of the friendly army withstood a direct attack from more than one squadron of troops of the Takeda Brigade.

In this battle, the elite teaching brigade was completely a supporting role, and thankfully, the friendly forces held on.

On the battlefield, the position of the strongest teaching brigade is very clean, not much different from before the Japanese attack, and the position of Zhou Pu's battalion on the right side of the road is very different.

In the afternoon, at noon after the end of a battle, thick smoke billowed from the position of Zhou Pu's battalion, not only black cannon smoke, but also white smoke from Japanese smoke shells.

In the front-line trench of the Zhou Pu camp, the smoke bombs from the Japanese grenadiers continued to emit thick smoke, and the soldiers of the national army in the trenches were chaotic for a while.

Originally, when the Japanese army retreated, the morale was high, and the trenches were full of cheers, but this round of smoke bombs came over, but these brothers were scared enough, and the soldiers near the smoke bombs were choked and covered their mouths, some people thought it was poison gas, and a few timid people ran back with rifles, and finally they were dragged back by the veterans and squad leaders.

Obviously the Japanese army had been repulsed, and there was chaos in the trenches, and the officers at all levels of the Zhou Pu battalion in the front-line trenches kicked these smoke bombs away, and after coming into contact with the fear of the recruits, the first-line trenches of the Zhou Pu battalion were stabilized.

Zhou Pu, the battalion commander of the first battalion of the 65th Regiment, stood in the second-line trench where he was cleaning up the mess, sweating profusely, and the small chaos in the first-line position because of the smoke bombs made him smile bitterly.

The power of the smoke bombs, the chaos caused by their own men in the front-line trenches, is about to catch up with the high-explosive grenade!

Zhou Pu is very aware of the overall quality of his recruits, he has never seen smoke bombs, it is too normal for this kind of thing to happen, how can a peasant who can't read a single word be clear?

The veterans also came step by step, but he was in this battalion, there were really too many recruits, and the episode was always an episode, Zhou Pu looked at the devastated position, his own troops, and held the position!

Lao Xingwu Zhou Pu, his heart is a mixture of happiness and happiness.

After the battle, the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Pu battalion, who had finished singing the protagonist, began to clean up the mess, clean up the position, and repelled the Japanese army, and the Zhou Pu battalion's own losses were not small.

Shrapnel from shrapnel was everywhere, and the bodies of soldiers of various companies who had been killed and wounded were strewn across the trenches.

At the end of the battle, the officers and men of Zhou Pu's battalion, except for the front-line trenches, automatically began to repair the fortifications and clear the positions.

"Battalion, the commander of the second company asks for instructions, do you want to go back to defense?" Zhou Pu's side, a herald who had just run back from the front-line trench said.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the second-line position of Zhou Pu's battalion and the reserve position behind it could be repaired, but the first-line trenches did not dare to move, not to mention that the chaos caused by the smoke bombs had just been suppressed, and the Japanese army had just withdrawn.

In the first-line trench of the Zhou Pu battalion on the right side of the road, more than two companies of troops were squeezed in, and people were crowded with people, but in fact it was just a company's defensive position, and in a narrow area, a large number of people was not a good thing, because it increased the lethal effect of the artillery bombardment, and it was not conducive to the development of firepower and the mobile defense of the troops.

Zhou Pu planned to leave the second company, which was stronger and counterattacked, and all the original defenders of the position were withdrawn to rest.

"Order the second company to defend and the first company to withdraw!" Zhou Pu said. Zhou Pu's order turned the defensive strength of the front-line position into a company, and the defensive posture and troop allocation of the first battalion of the entire 65th Regiment were restored to the pre-war level, and the entire position was intensively restored, repaired, and consolidated......

Teaching the position of the brigade, after the Japanese withdrew, only the supporting fire position on the right side of the position was cleaning up the mess, Zhang Wei came out of the command post after the battle and came to the position of heavy machine guns and 82 mortars.

Next to the 82 mortar firing position, there was a machine gun platoon led by Li Shaoyan, and the grenadier group drawn from the 3rd Squadron was behind the heavy machine gun, and this right position was the position with the strongest fighting intensity in this battle, and Zhang Wei clearly felt the surface temperature of the land between the mortar firing position and the machine gun position.

A stream of heat in the air and a strong smell of gunpowder show how strong the use of these support firearms is, and the muzzles of the 82 mortars and ZB37 heavy machine guns are still volatile with light smoke.

The intensity of the battle was great, and it was also the place where the casualties were the greatest, and the Japanese army somehow fired some 50-millimeter grenades here, and it was impossible to have no casualties.

"The body should be registered as soon as possible and disposed of." Zhang Wei said that the soldiers carried equipment, corpses, and during the battle, Zhang Wei was surrounded by Dong Erli, the leader of the 82nd mortar platoon, and Li Shaoyan, the leader of the heavy fire squadron.

The two of them had just reported to Zhang Wei the general battle situation and casualties, and only two of the mortar crewmen of Dong Erli's 82nd mortar platoon were injured because of the perfect position, ammunition station, and concealment department.

The situation of the heavy machine gun platoon was relatively worse, and they were temporarily transferred from the frontal position by Zhang Wei.

The heavy machine gun platoon led by Li Shaoyan on the right side of the road killed four soldiers and seriously wounded six people, including a deputy squad leader, and the rest of the casualties were all first- and second-class soldiers.
