Chapter 249: Attacking the Fortification (4)
"Up!"
"Hurry up!"
The infantry of the third company jumped out of the trench and rushed in the direction of the sound of gunfire, the three infantry companies of the preparatory battalion were all dispatched, the trench was empty, the third company and the 82nd mortar platoon rushed out, and the battle defense artillery company at the rear of the position, not to mention, the third company that was supporting the battle defense artillery company to fight rushed out of the position, which was also a signal for them to rush out of the position.
"Push the cannon forward, cross the ditch!"
"Quick!"
Under the impetus of the soldiers of the four artillery squads, the four anti-aircraft guns crossed the trenches along the wooden planks erected on the trenches in advance, a combat anti-aircraft artillery company, and the real operation of the artillery is the four combat squads, and Zhang Wei acted together with these four squads, the soldiers of the four squads and the soldiers of the third company carried the anti-combat shells together, and rushed forward, Zhang Wei did not follow after the three companies rushed out, but waited for the rear anti-aircraft artillery company, these four anti-aircraft guns are the key to knocking out the core of the Japanese defense.
The third company had to take care of the anti-aircraft artillery and the 82 mortar, so the speed of the charge was not fast, and their charging path was also walked by the first and second companies, which was relatively safe, Zheng Yiqun commanded a platoon to take the lead in the front, and the other platoon assisted the anti-aircraft artillery company to push the artillery, carry ammunition, and speed up the advance of the artillery.
Zhang Wei was beside this platoon, and each battle defense gun was pushed by seven or eight people, the two wooden wheels on the gun body were rotating rapidly, and the barrel was supported by two soldiers, moving forward quickly.
"Sir, how far do you start shooting?" Zhang Wei, like the soldiers around him, was running fast, and the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company beside him asked him about the firing distance, and the anti-aircraft artillery company was assigned to Zhang Wei.
"What do you think?"
"Sir, now that the battle is going on in front, we'd better fire in front." The commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company pointed to the position behind the second company.
"No, it's too far!" Zhang Wei directly pushed back, in the rear of the second company, 200 meters away from the Japanese position, for the battle anti-artillery, although this distance is safe, but the accuracy of the shooting will be greatly reduced, Zhang Wei hopes that as soon as possible to knock out the Japanese fortress, he wants to advance the artillery distance as much as possible.
"Push the cannon behind a company and prepare for fire!"
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he ordered three signal corps to communicate forward, and ordered Mu Chao's second company to maneuver and disperse to the two wings, vacate the rear of the first company, and make room for the battle defense artillery.
When the third company and the battle defense artillery rushed out of the position, Qiu Wei in front had already heard the shouting of killing, Qiu Wei was very cooperative with the war defense artillery to attack the Japanese fortress to make preparations in advance, he ordered the first company to attack as far forward as possible, rush forward, to fight for more firing distance for the war defense artillery, improve the accuracy, a company of forward began to attack forward, the six grenadiers of the whole company were concentrated, and fired at the Japanese army's foxhole position, and the effect of shooting together with the six grenadiers was no less than an infantry shell, The Japanese straggler positions were blown up everywhere, and shrapnel was scattered.
The desperate advance of the first company was to gain an advantage over the battle defense artillery. The first company launched a fierce attack, and Zhang Wei rushed up with people in the back, if Mu Chao, the commander of the second company in the middle, did not react at this time, Zhang Wei would not let him be the company commander, Mu Chao took the initiative to order the soldiers of the second company to lean on both flanks before Zhang Wei's signal corps came, and vacated the position for the battle defense artillery in the rear of the center of the first company.
"Strengthen the firepower, you must block them!" Kawashima, the commander of the Japanese army, informed the Japanese officers and corporals in the foxhole by field telephone, and he was very overwhelmed by the sudden attack of a company, and his troops were also very hard, especially the troops stationed in the foxhole, which withstood almost all the fire of the infantry of the reserve battalion and most of the shells, and suffered heavy casualties.
In the past, as long as the Japanese army wanted to hold the place, the Chinese army could not attack it, but Kawashima combined with the previous combat performance, and did not dare to be careless, the machine gun fire in the fortress was very good, and the difference was on the foxhole, the two complemented each other, no matter how fierce the machine gun was, there were also small dead ends, and the machine gun also needed to be cooled and reloaded.
The rifles and light machine guns in the foxhole's hands were about to be put on top of the foxhole's guns, but they couldn't do it, and Kawashima was in a hurry, so he could only forcibly order the foxhole to increase its firepower.
An infantry squad that rushed to the front of a company is now only seven people left, the squad leader was hit by the Japanese machine gun in the fortress during the attack, the deputy squad leader temporarily took over the command, organized his subordinates to attack and advance, seven people were temporarily reduced into two combat groups, the light machine gun was in the rear of the squad battle formation, controlled by two shooters, the Soviet-style Depp light machine in order to cover the infantry in front of the advance, had to bite the bullet and the Japanese fortress to shoot, the machine gunner began to hit the burst, at close range, the difference between point fire and burst is not big.
The deputy squad leader led the two to leap forward, and the other two sergeants took cover on the side, and under the leadership of the deputy squad leader, the three-man combat group gradually moved forward, they were the first company of the troops, and the entire preparation battalion was at the front.
"Bend down! Go to the left! The deputy squad leader half-bent over and shouted, while maneuvering, he pulled the trigger of the Zhongzheng rifle, five meters to his left and right, two privates who were also holding Zhongzheng rifles ran to the left according to the instructions of the deputy squad leader.
"The devil machine gun is coming, be careful!" The machine gun bullet did not knock down the combat group led by the deputy squad leader, but one of the other two sergeants was shot in the head, and the other was hit in the chest and fell to the ground, and the sergeant who was hit took out two grenades after falling to the ground, and threw them out with all his strength, the grenades flew in the direction of the fortress, and the grenades exploded when they landed, and the smoke from the two grenades blocked the sight of the Japanese heavy machine gun shooters in the fort.
The deputy squad leader knew that this was his comrades-in-arms providing them with the last cover, scolded and immediately rushed forward.
"Hurry up!"
The light machine gun crew behind the "Da Da" fired a series of fires, and hit the Japanese fortress along the smoke of the explosion.
The Japanese main shooter in the fort stopped firing due to the explosion of the grenade, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun produced a large amount of medicinal smoke after continuous fire, and his target was three Chinese soldiers within seventy or eighty meters, but unfortunately the grenade made him lose his target.
"Whew" There was a sound that pierced the air, and the machine gunner snorted and fell to the ground, and a Soviet-style light machine gun bullet happened to come in through the mouth of the fortress.
"Hurry up!" The co-shooter didn't have time to drag away the body of the main shooter, stepped on it directly, took the grip of the machine gun, and shouted to order the others to reload the machine gun.
In the short period of tens of seconds when the main shooter was killed and the secondary shooter took over and reloaded the bullet plate, the attacking infantry could advance at least twenty meters, and the second-shooter pulled the trigger without careful aiming, and the sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun like a rooster sounded again in the fortress......
