Chapter 648: The Attack Didn't Go Smoothly

Now everyone in the mine protection team is a brother who has experienced life and death together, even if there was a great unhappiness before, everyone should let go now, because everyone is still one step away from entering the Yama Palace, what is the use of thinking so much at this time.

As a commander, Shen Zhengwen is already very qualified as a commander, from the beginning, no one was convinced, and now everyone is looking forward to it.

Now the mine protection team has finally become stronger with everyone's efforts, but it is also about to go to the last step. There is no grandiose rhetoric, nothing impassioned, only the silent sacrifice of their own lives in the endless war on the battlefield.

"Captain, if we can all go back, will Brother Fan reorganize us into the main force?"

In the future, no matter the rise or fall of the New 33rd Army, how much lost land it has recovered, and how many Japanese have been killed, it has nothing to do with their mine protection team.

In the future, once the world is peaceful, the mine protection team will lose its role, Shen Zhengwen's way is okay, he is a college student who has been a captain, and Liao Fan's appreciation, it is easy to say how to go in the future, but where should their group of soldiers go.

The mine protection team can be mixed into the main force, and it will rise with the rise of the new 33rd Army, and those of them who have fought on the battlefield for so long, even if they leave the army, they can also mix up a half-official position in the local area.

"Yes, surely!"

Shen Zhengwen smiled wryly, can they get out alive? They didn't rush through the encirclement of the Japanese army, and there was still a Japanese blockade outside, and now the ammunition in their hands was almost exhausted.

"When the fight starts, no one cares about anyone, and we'll fight devils together when we get there!" Shen Zhengwen raised his head and looked at the dozen or so brothers around him.

"Don't worry, Captain, we won't disgrace you, that's the last trembling, the brothers didn't coward!"

"By the way, captain, when I was just fighting, I heard artillery from the north!"

A soldier reported to Shen Zhengwen that the Japanese army was attacking just now, and the gunfire on the battlefield was chaotic, and he didn't listen to it, whether he was hallucinating. Now that the Japanese army had stopped attacking, he remembered the sound of artillery just now, maybe someone really came to save them.

Shen Zhengwen stepped forward and patted the soldier's shoulder: "Someone will come to save us!" ”

Where did the sound of artillery come from, when they first fought, their positions were full of gunfire, maybe the explosions shook the ears of the soldiers. But he still said that someone came back to save them, because he wanted to give the soldiers hope, and this hope was the courage to sustain them in the fight.

The Japanese attacked again, shells falling on the positions of the mine guards, and the soldiers hid their eyes and counted the ammunition they had left, and this was the last time they fought.

The sound of artillery never ended, but the shells that fell on their positions became more and more sparse, and the little devils did not charge.

The fighters poked out of cover curiously to see what was going on.

At this time, the Japanese position was chaotic, explosions were heard everywhere, and the Japanese army had no time to take care of the Chinese troops in the encirclement.

"Boom Boom"

The explosions continued to sound, and the armored units of Ma Wanzhong's division, completely without any discipline, rampaged through the Japanese positions. Fortunately, it appeared suddenly, otherwise Ma Wanzhong's tanks and armored vehicles would not have been enough for the little devils to blow up.

Under the cover of tanks, a regiment supported by Ma Wanzhong quickly broke through the Japanese encirclement.

"Captain, look over there!"

Shen Zhengwen picked up the binoculars and looked at the Chinese army coming towards them under the guidance of the soldiers. A regiment leader under Ma Wanzhong, who rushed to the forefront, Shen Zhengwen knew this regiment leader.

"It's reinforcements, it's reinforcements! Brethren, our reinforcements have arrived! Shen Zhengwen happily shouted to the surviving soldiers under his command that their reinforcements had arrived, and it was Ma Wanzhong who arranged for troops to rescue them.

"The troops lose all their heavy weapons, protect the civilians, and join the reinforcements!"

The moment Shen Zhengwen saw his own people, he decisively ordered the troops to move closer to the reinforcements as quickly as possible, because this was their only chance to survive.

The mine protection team soon joined up with Ma Wanzhong's regiment, listening to the gunfire around them, the soldiers of the mine protection team did not participate in the battle, they only needed to protect the evacuated people, and they could not help much in the current battlefield situation.

When the Japanese commander learned that Ma Wanzhong's division was fiercely attacking him, he understood that in their encirclement must be the troops of the New 33rd Army, which had disappeared for a long time.

But he didn't understand why this army had suddenly appeared here, and there was an order from above, this force had been wiped out in Shandong, and now this force was alive and kicking in their encirclement.

Now that the troops in the encirclement have joined up with the troops rescued by the New 33rd Army, they have no way to let the troops of the New 33rd Army escape from Ascension again.

Naturally, someone will bear what is happening here, but not the commander of the Japanese army, who now needs to rearrange his position that was blown up by the artillery of the new 33rd Army, and the defense of the Chinese army will break through again, endangering his defensive line.

After Shen Zhengwen thanked Ma Wanzhong, he followed his subordinates into the truck, and most of the soldiers of the mine protection team were already exhausted, and they fell asleep after a long time after getting on the truck. Although Shen Zhengwen was tired, he couldn't sleep for a long time.

After this battle, there was not one out of ten soldiers in the mine protection team, and there were only more than 300 soldiers who came out, and the only thing that made Shen Zhengwen feel relieved was that none of the civilians they rescued were left behind in this battle.

After returning to Jingcheng, Shen Zhengwen slept for a whole day and a night before waking up.

Liao Fan, who was far away on the front line of Datong, soon learned the good news that Shen Zhengwen led his troops to break through, but the mine protection team suffered heavy losses, but Liao Fan knew that it was not easy to survive after so many hardships, and he already had a plan in his heart.

However, what Liao Fan needs more at this time is to handle the affairs of the front line.

It's been two days, and the troops in front are still fighting and haven't made any progress, which not only gives Li Weimin a headache, but even Liao Fan can't sit still.

The 35,000 troops consumed a day of food was not a small amount, and although they had already prepared enough supplies, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to transport them from the rear to the front, which caused a lot of pressure on the new 33rd Army.

"Let the troops storm tomorrow!"

Assault has become the only way out for Li Weimin's current time, and without the cover and blow of heavy artillery, I am afraid that it will cost the lives of many soldiers.

The situation on the front line, Li Weimin had the opportunity to send a briefing to Liao Fan every other day, reporting the current situation on the front line and his next plans, although Liao Fan sent a communications soldier to tell Li Weimin that everything on the front line was up to him, but Li Weimin still sent it correctly.

Liao Fan understood what Li Weimin was thinking, because he didn't have a bottom in his heart, and Li Weimin didn't have enough confidence to defeat the Japanese army, so he wanted to get some advice from Liao Fan.

The battle on the front line has broken out, and the Japanese army has arranged dense firepower points on and under the Great Wall, and the three-dimensional firepower points cover every inch of the front, although they have detailed information, but they have no way to knock out these firepower points.

The soldiers had to pay a heavy price if they didn't take a step forward, and the battalion commander led the soldiers to charge personally, but at the end of the day, the results of the battle demoralized everyone.

"We can't fight like this, just one day today, two companies of our battalion were disabled!" A battalion commander reports to his own regiment commander.

The fire cover of the new 33rd Army was only mortars and heavy machine guns, and the Japanese had artillery and strong fortifications in their hands, and their soldiers could only exchange their lives for the firepower points of the little devils, and these firepower points that were destroyed that day, after the Japanese army repaired them overnight, will still cause great casualties to the soldiers tomorrow.

During the operational meeting held overnight, several important officers of Li Weimin's division demanded that Li Weimin drag their heavy artillery to the front line, otherwise they would not have enough troops to fill the defense line of the Great Wall.

Li Weimin looked at the officers under him, and everyone didn't understand why Liao Fan would rather let the soldiers sacrifice for the sake of those broken bricks and tiles on the Great Wall, rather than destroy them with heavy artillery.

These officers are some ordinary people step by step to today, the only school they have entered is the military academy in Taihang Mountain, in addition, they have not received any education, they only know that the Great Wall is an important military target, where to understand the Chinese culture contained in it.

In fact, Li Weimin has mentioned to Liao Fan many times that he will use heavy artillery to permanently destroy the Japanese army's solid firepower points, but Liao Fan's attitude is very resolute, that is, no.

"Will our bazookas be able to destroy the little devil's fortifications?" Li Weimin asked.

"Division commander, the bazooka is okay against half of the fortifications, but the Great Wall has gone through less than a few thousand years, and even the mountain artillery of the little devils is only gnawing a layer of skin, and there are permanent firepower points built by the little devils with ash around them, and the bazookas can't even get the skin of these fortifications!"

Their assault team has already tried it with bazookas, and the ordinary bunkers of the little devils, one * is enough, but those bunkers poured with cement and steel bars, after they bombed them several times, are still intact, and unless * is put into the bunker, it will not have any effect on the little devils in the bunker at all.

"Since we can't use bazookas, we'll blast them one by one with * bags!"

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, now it's the last resort, cover the soldiers close to the pillbox, and then detonate the * bag to blast the Japanese fortifications.
