The Japanese infantry retreated in the fire vehicles of the preparatory battalion, leaving seven or eight corpses, Zhang Wei pulled the bolt, an orange bullet case fell out of the rifle, and threw the rifle aside, Zhang Wei looked at it, there was no Japanese soldier in front of the position of the preparatory battalion. X only has twisted corpses and shattered weapons.

"The devil has retreated." Mu Chao said breathlessly. Zhang Wei nodded, a burst of cheers broke out on the position of the preparatory battalion, the recruits carnivaled, some still hugged together, the fierce battle tested not only combat skills, but also people's psychology and spirit, these recruits were not willing to participate in the war, they were forced to come to the battlefield for various reasons, plus many people are out of the very, it is not easy to survive, the soldiers cheered, not only did they fight off the devils with their own hands, but also their own lives, not taken away by the Japanese artillery fire. Those veterans are much calmer, put away their weapons, or sit down and rest for a while, at this time, for veterans is to reserve physical strength.

Zhang Wei squatted in the trench, panting heavily, he was not much stronger than those recruits, this was the first battle of the preparation battalion, and it was also Zhang Wei's first battle as the battalion commander, during the battle, he had almost been suppressing his own firepower, putting the Japanese army in the nearest place and then firing, the troops did not collapse, the position was still in his hands, a heart that mentioned his throat and eyes could finally be put down, he was in a high-pressure state for a long time, and suddenly relaxed, and the mental pressure had to let Zhang Wei sit down and slow down, When I was in the firefight just now, my behavior went back and forth in my mind like a movie, presumably, this is the aftermath of the war.

Mu Chao saw Zhang Wei squatting, and he also understood in his heart that he was not far from ten, when he was acting as the company commander, he also had this reaction, Zhang Wei had just become the battalion commander, it was too normal. Mu Chao didn't bother Zhang Wei, he organized the soldiers to clean up the positions and strengthen the fortifications in the front-line position, and in the three-company position, Zheng Yiqun, who had calmed down, was also doing the same thing.

The soldiers of the preparatory battalion carried out the corpses, treated the wounded, cleaned up the debris in the position, repaired the collapsed anti-artillery holes and fortifications, Zhang Wei rested for a while, opened his eyes, the soldiers were busy, and it was time for him to end his busy time, grabbed the rifle, put the butt on the ground, Zhang Wei got up and walked towards Mu Chao.

"Hello sir!"

"Battalion commander!"

Along the trench, many soldiers greeted Zhang Wei, two or three people carried things or wounded soldiers together, and there were also corpses of dead soldiers, Mu Chao organized and commanded over there, and when he saw Zhang Wei walking over, Mu Chao trotted over.

"Battalion commander, I'll take them to clear the position and prepare for defense, you just now, it's okay."

"There is a fart obstacle, the first time I commanded hundreds of people to fight, I was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately I held on, nothing happened."

The position was in a mess, except for a few observation posts, the rest of the people, etc., moving things and moving things, carrying corpses and carrying corpses, a busy image, the position of the second company was the first line, and suffered the most attacks and artillery bombardments, Zhang Wei did not let the heavy machine guns open fire, he had been resisting the Japanese attack, fighting against the Japanese firepower, and shooting at the Japanese army.

"How many casualties did the company have?" There are a lot of recruits in the second company, and after carrying it for such a long time, I am afraid that casualties are inevitable, Zhang Wei is still thinking in his heart, whether to let them withdraw and rest for a while.

"The whole company lost 27 people, 9 people were lightly wounded, and 2 soldiers were seriously wounded, it is estimated that it will not work." Mu Chao frowned, the whole company lost nearly thirty people, which was nearly a quarter of the combat strength.

The second company lost 27 people in this battle, and when attacking Luowang Railway Station, 20 were killed and 20 were wounded, so a total, more than half of the casualties of the second company and the whole company, Zhang Wei's heart muttered, nearly half of the casualties, but some of the lightly wounded soldiers among the wounded can return to the battlefield after simple treatment, a rough estimate, the living combat strength on the position of the second company is about 80 people, for a position defended by 150 people, the strength is not caught.

"Mu Chao, in this way, you step up the repair of the fortifications, send the wounded down, you have finished this battle, basically there are eighty people left on the position, originally a total of your company retreated, now think about it, you company I am afraid you will have to continue to work hard, the second round of the Japanese attack and the first round of attack will not be separated for a long time, and the covering firepower and strength must be stronger than the first time, the third company has been in the second line position, if they directly let them take over, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it, your company is still guarding the first line, In a moment, I will send a platoon of sappers to strengthen your position. ”

"Yes!" Mu Chao thought about it, Zhang Wei's arrangement is indeed reasonable, Zheng Yiqun's third company has the most recruits, although he said just now that he opened fire, fought with the Japanese army, and had combat casualties, but after all, it is a second-line position, if he rashly transfers them to defend the first line, he may not be able to withstand the Japanese army's tribute, Zhang Wei also strengthened the assault column to the engineer platoon of the preparation battalion, which is equivalent to the combat strength of one more platoon, and the second company continues to hold the position, there should be no problem.

Zhang Wei ordered the guards to notify the engineer platoon to come up, the engineer platoon is no different from the infantry, the first engineer unit is almost all used according to the infantry unit, the engineer battalion can also build bridges to cross the river, the engineer platoon does not have this ability, that is, to build fortifications and strengthen the position, but these guys, the infantry can do almost the same.

In terms of basic infantry combat skills, the sappers were weaker than the soldiers of the reserve battalion, and in terms of firepower, they were all equipped with neutral rifles and no light machine guns. Generally speaking, it is regarded as an infantry combat force that has been used all the time.

As the battalion commander, preparing for the first battle of the battalion, Zhang Wei must try his best to do everything himself, every line of defense, each company has to be told one by one, where something goes wrong, it will lead to the rout of the entire battalion.

Zhang Wei turned to the position of the third company, which was much more complete than the second company, and after a simple cleaning and repair, the position was basically restored to integrity, and the number of casualties was very small.

Only two heavy machine guns on the position of the third company were left by Zhang Wei, after all, the position had been exposed in the battle just now, and the two left were all deployed at the intersection of the position of the second company and the position of the third company.

The remaining three were temporarily hidden and on standby (one was blown up), the Japanese found the location of the heavy machine gun, and another heavy machine gun was blown up and damaged the pod, killing and wounding several ammunition soldiers, the gun commander managed to repair the cooling water cylinder and water tank of the machine gun, and the whole gun lost the gun carriage and wheels, leaving a piece of defense shield and gun body.

The squad leader of this machine gun was a militant person, Zhang Wei asked him to listen to the order and the other machine guns to withdraw, but he replied to Zhang Wei that he didn't want to withdraw.

"Battalion commander, if my people are still there, I will definitely go down, you also saw it, just now, the little devil blew up my gun, several of my brothers are gone, and the deputy squad leader is also finished, that is the old brother who has followed me for a few years, and now there are six people in our class, for the brothers who died in our class, I also have to fight!"

The machine gun squad leader spoke in an unhappy tone, and he was determined to fight, not an impulsive move. Zhang Wei pointed to the heavy machine gun.

"And your machine gun, fight like this?"

The machine gun squad leader looked at Zhang Wei and patted the machine gun: "I still fight without a shelf, when I used to use the two-four type, I was also killed by the little devil The gun rack, as long as the gun is not damaged, dig a small pit in the trench, stabilize it with a sand bun, and still fight, it is a lot lighter!" ”

There is a gun body that can still be used, it seems that this guy is going to use it as a passion to make ah, Zhang Wei looks at the remaining half-pull machine gun, but it is similar to the MG08 light machine gun of the German army in World War I, MG08 is a light machine gun modified with a heavy machine gun, Zhang Wei's gun commander, it seems that he is also going to use a heavy machine gun as a light machine gun today.

"Then you will go to the second company position on the first line, just to provide them with fire support, but be careful, the infantry artillery of the little Japanese is not vegetarian, it is the first line there."

"Yes!" Seeing that Zhang Wei agreed, the machine gun squad leader took the gun and the remaining soldiers of the squad to the position of the second company on the first line, and when he left, he also received a few boxes of ammunition from the special agent commander of the heavy machine gun company.

Zhang Wei did this, but also to enhance the firepower of the second company, the next attack of the Japanese army, the strength and firepower will be stronger than the first time, strengthen one, to be precise, half a heavy machine gun past, for the second company,
