Chapter 159: Battle for King Luo Station (7)
The mortar platoon took the dead bodies and the soldiers in front of them as cover, set up the mortars, and before they had time to carry out a test firing, they loaded and fired, and one of the two shells missed and landed near the railroad tracks, and the other shot vertically into the Japanese carriage from above, and the shells fell vertically, followed by a violent explosion. X
The iron-wood carriage was overturned from the inside out, carrying the flesh and blood of the Japanese soldiers and the broken weapons flying, the Japanese soldiers in the carriage were killed or wounded, and the components of the train carriage were disintegrated with shrapnel under the impact of the explosion and scattered in all directions.
The gunners took the opportunity to make up for the flowering carriage, and the whole carriage was left with only a tattered base of the bottom plate, and some of the Japanese soldiers who did not die climbed into the other carriage, and some ran around in panic, and finally were reimbursed by bullets.
Unfortunately, the mortar platoon did not have much ammunition, and a total of 10 shells were brought, and after the shells were exhausted, there were still three wagons in the corner of the stubborn resistance, and the Japanese soldiers who fled elsewhere in the station all fled to the wagons in order to be safe.
"Sir, there are no more shells!" The mortar platoon commander shouted
"I know, there's more artillery in a moment." Zhang Wei fired a shot at the carriage and said viciously.
In the small building on the other side, Mu Chao took a platoon and touched in, the small building on the side of the station platform was only two floors, and the Japanese army's 92 infantry artillery squadron was on the roof of the second floor.
Mu Chao dragged the corpse away and shouted, "Here's a machine gunner!" "The machine gunners in each squad are all veterans, some are served by deputy squad leaders, and some are veterans who have been transferred from a company, so they naturally understand what Mu Chao wants to do.
"It's coming!" A Heavy ran over with a turntable machine gun, and at the same time replaced a brand new cartridge with the help of the co-shooter.
"Follow the machine gunner upstairs, shoot when you see the devil, stand in a vertical line, the machine gunner takes the lead, and the others take cover! One by one. ”
After Mu Chao finished speaking, he first stood behind the machine gunner, this move was to reduce the area of the bullets, squeezed together in a horizontal row, and a grenade or a row of machine gun bullets came down, and if it was not good, it would be reimbursed. The soldiers stood in line one by one, Mu Chao gave the order to advance, and the machine gunner began to walk up the stairs to the second floor, and the people behind him followed one by one.
Several Japanese soldiers heard the gunshots downstairs and walked down the corridor, just as Mu Chao and the others took a look, the machine gunner pulled the trigger violently, and several Japanese soldiers only had time to fire two bullets and rolled down the stairs. Two ** soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and another bullet knocked down the other person's calf, and the bullet passed through with the remaining momentum, hit the corner of the wall, and bounced at the door. The comrades next to him hurriedly dragged the wounded soldier aside.
The machine gunner pressed the trigger and rushed up, and when he reached the top floor, the people behind him rushed up and shot and killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were crowded in a group of artillery exercises, and the two infantry guns on the roof of the building, one had been blown up, Mu Chao stepped forward and opened the corpse of the Japanese soldier who fell on the cannon to see that it was a grenade explosion, the gun bolt and sighting device were blown to pieces, and the gun carriage was also blown apart.
The other cannon was still intact, and on the ground was a pile of grenades used for explosives, three or five bundled together.
As a result, the ** who attacked the building opened the way with a machine gun, and before he could blow up the other door, he was taken to the old nest.
"No wonder the little devil doesn't throw grenades downstairs, the co-authoring is all used to explode the cannon, go, carry this cannon down, there are shells, hurry up." Mu Chao was sweating profusely, if he had lost the grenade just now, he was afraid that his platoon would have to be reimbursed for a small half.
The surrounding soldiers carried away the intact infantry guns, took the remaining two boxes of shells, and returned the same way. A platoon of people took advantage of the weakening of Japanese firepower to push the artillery back the way it came.
"Battalion commander, how do you call?" Mu Chao asked with a confused face when he came back.
"Call your platoon commander Dong Erli, he will summon infantry artillery!"
"Dong Erli, Dong Erli come here!"
Because Dong Erli had no artillery, he was transferred to the second company as a platoon commander, and when he heard someone calling him, he immediately bent his waist and ran to the front with bullets.
"Dong Erli, you kid became a platoon commander, and your ability to play devil cannon in Xuzhou has not fallen, right?" Zhang Wei said.
Dong Erli saw that it was Zhang Wei, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, battalion commander, you can't forget to be a ghost!" ”
Calling two soldiers to assist him, Dong Erli skillfully loaded the ammunition, buckled the bolt, the distance was very close, he simply took a look, adjusted the high angle, aimed the muzzle of the gun at the several carriages that were still firing, pulled the fire rope back, and fired three shells in a row.
The direct-fire gun is not comparable to the mortar, the shell drilled directly into the carriage, three shots in a row, one of which was still a shotgun, after hitting the carriage, the Japanese screamed again and again, a light machine gunner who was shooting before he could react, was pierced through the chest by the burst fragments, the huge explosive force and the narrow space of the carriage made this place a purgatory, the light machine gunner threw away the machine gun, fell in the carriage and rolled on his chest, surrounded by several broken corpses of riflemen and light machine gun secondary shooters, The Heavy was stuck in the eye by a piece of exploding iron, and blood gushed out of the blood hole, and the Light Machine Gunner, who could not bear the severe pain, crawled around, trying to find a way to end the pain quickly, and finally reluctantly crawled outside along the blasted carriage, rolled down in front of the tracks, roared forward, and finally, a string of flying Soviet-style machine gun bullets solved his pain.
The door panels of the carriage were full of holes pierced by fragments, and the sunlight shone into the carriage, forming pillars of light, illuminating blood and minced flesh. The Japanese troops were hit like this, they couldn't resist it at all, and those who were not dead in the carriage immediately retreated, including the seriously wounded captain Takeda Akira, plus the Japanese soldiers who fled from various places in the station, all fled outside the station.
"Hit!" At the same time as the Japanese army retreated, Zhang Wei ordered a fire pursuit and beat the water dogs, which was very simple.
At this time, the crowd of black pressure in the distance had already surrounded and engulfed the entire station and the periphery.
In the battle of Luowang Station, the 64th Army cooperated with the assault column to prepare the battalion, and the chariot battalion recaptured Luowang Station at noon on the 25th. The 1st Brigade of the 15th Wing of the 28th Brigade of the 14th Division of the Japanese garrison attached a small squad of rapid-fire guns, most of them were annihilated, two squadron leaders were killed in battle, more than 430 corpses and suicides committed suicide in front of the battle, and those whose bodies were crushed and shelled could not be identified, and the captain of the brigade, Takeda, was seriously injured, and only escaped with more than 50 stragglers and the leader of the first squadron.
Counting the previous night attack of the 64th Army, for a small station, the 64th Army and the assault column that arrived later attacked for more than half a day, and finally recovered this key point stuck on the Longhai line.
Victory, there must be a price, the 64th Army's 155th Division suffered a night attack, two attacks, casualties before and after the sweeping endgame amounted to 600, Zhang Wei's second company also suffered more than 40 casualties in the attack battle (more than 20 dead, more than a dozen wounded), the assault column chariot damaged four vehicles, three lightly wounded, and eight officers and soldiers killed in the chariot battalion.
