Chapter 114: The Battle of Tangji (10)
The Japanese were eventually defeated.
This charge, although the Japanese were a little surprised, and they still braved artillery fire to rush to the 159 heights...... There are many advantages of this style of play, such as the fact that it is difficult to get fire support from Tangji and 311 Heights under the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery fire.
But this kind of charge also has its drawbacks, that is, the Japanese army itself cannot arrange too many troops to attack, what is the reason for this needless to say, the shells do not recognize people, there are too many people in the formation is too dense, then no matter how to hide, you can't dodge.
Another disadvantage is that the shells are blown up on the top of the mountain, and the shrapnel and gravel fly from top to bottom like scattered flowers of the goddess...... The Japanese may have been able to hear the sound and dodge the shells, but they could not dodge the shrapnel and rubble.
This also made it very difficult for the Japanese to charge.
Therefore, this tactic is, in the final analysis, a kind of sneak attack, and its success depends on the hope that the enemy is not prepared for the fact that the artillery fire is still bombarding and the battle has not yet begun.
It's a pity that the devil didn't let the Japanese succeed, he discovered the Japanese army's sneak attack in time and organized a defense, so the Japanese army's charge failed again.
"Deputy Company Commander!" After the Japanese army retreated, Zhang Chi asked the devil with some doubts: "How did you find out that the devil was cheating?" ”
Thinking about the situation at that time, Zhang Chi felt a little afraid, the quality difference between the engineer regiment and the Japanese army was not a little bit, the reason why they were able to hold the 159 heights and repeatedly defeat the Japanese army was completely due to the advantage of firepower in favorable terrain and equipment, if the devils broke in, it was almost certain that the 159 heights would soon be lost and they would be strung on the bayonets by the devils.
"Alas!" The Adversary replied, "It's not because I've suffered losses before! ”
As he spoke, the Adversary smoked silently.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi didn't ask any more questions, he knew that the devil's words seemed simple but very heavy.
Have you suffered a loss before? What losses have you suffered?!
Of course, he was attacked by the devil in this way. What was the result of the sneak attack? It's just that the trenches outside have been occupied by devils, and the soldiers who are hiding in the cat's ear hole don't know yet...... Zhang Chi didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The devil didn't want to say more, but he remembered the unbearable war and the sacrificed comrades.
Later, Zhang Chi learned that the devil was stabbed by the devil in that battle...... At that time, he was still hiding in the cat's ear hole, and the devil didn't shoot in order to save ammunition, but just stabbed it hard in the head with a military thorn.
Luckily, the spur happened to pass under the adversary's armpit, taking only a little flesh and blood, and the devil thought that he had stabbed it without looking closely, and the adversary escaped.
But the Adversary's comrades were not so lucky, and some of the fighters were even blown into a ball of flesh by the grenades that the devils stuffed in...... You must know that the devil can completely use a grenade at this time, and a person who kills a person and is curled up in the cat's ear hole without realizing that the devil has come up does not need a grenade. The reason why the devil did this was to take it as a kind of fun and a joke.
******
Although after the tense life-and-death struggle just now, Zhang Chi was already too tired.
But he knew that this was not the time to rest, and the reason was very simple, Tangji was a necessary place for the devils to penetrate into the rear of the expeditionary force to supply the important town of Lashio, so the devils not only had to take it, but also did everything possible to take it in the shortest possible time.
So Zhang Chi forcibly picked up the sapper shovel and strengthened the fortifications with the soldiers.
The soldiers were silently doing the work in their hands without speaking, their expressions were very serious, and Zhang Chi even saw that the big cow was secretly giving the little cow a look, and occasionally whispered a few words.
Needless to say, why this is so, after two tough battles, the soldiers are a little scared one by one.
In fact, even Zhang Chi himself was a little scared...... This fucking life hangs by a thread at every turn, and the cowardly people will be scared to death if they are scared.
"Platoon, platoon commander ......" After a long time, Xiao Zhejiang hesitated and asked, "This ...... Didn't someone chase the 200 divisions? When will these 200 divisions be...... It's just there? ”
Zhang Chi was silent and didn't answer, he knew why Xiao Zhejiang asked like this.
On the surface, this was to ask when the 200th Division would arrive, but the subtext was when the Engineer Regiment would be able to retreat.
"Yes, platoon commander!" Fellow villagers also chimed in: "The 200th Division only walked one or two hours ahead of us, and we have been here for so long, the 200th Division should also ......."
"What are you trying to do?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but thrust the shovel into the ground fiercely, and said, "Is it a retreat or what?" ”
"Platoon commander, we didn't mean that......"
"That's what you mean!" Zhang Chi didn't let it go at all: "Why don't you care about the 200 divisions?" ”
When Zhang Chi asked this, the soldiers had nothing to say.
"I'm embarrassed when I say you're embarrassed!" Zhang Chi continued: "Is our equipment worse than that of the 200th Division, or are we missing arms and legs?" Just waiting for the 200 divisions to come up and replace us? Aren't you all triumphant? Say that the main force is so great, we can fight the battles they can fight. How? When you really want to fight hard, you remember that the main force is coming?! ”
The soldiers were so red-faced by Zhang Chi that they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"I'll tell you!" Zhang Chi dug out a piece of soil and slapped it heavily on the trench, and said: "This 200 division is really coming, I also want to let the 200 division go cool, let us have a good time." Whoever of you wants to go down, whoever wants to go down! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Chi looked at the trench with an angry face.
In fact, this is not Zhang Chi's heart, he wishes that the 200th division would come up sooner!
But Zhang Chi knows that fighting is such a thing, don't expect other troops to come up to replace him, because when he thinks about it, his courage will be cold, and his anger will be discharged, and it is very likely that there will be problems when facing the devil in the next round, and he is afraid that the soldiers of the 200th Division who have not yet arrived at the engineer regiment will be beaten to pieces.
Therefore, Zhang Chi is actually a kind of agitation method, the purpose is to stimulate the courage of the soldiers.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw that the hooligans also waved their sapper shovels vigorously and said: "The platoon commander is right, the 200th Division is coming, and they will also watch us fight from the side!" ”
"Yes, if you want to fight, make a show!"
"Show those main forces, our engineer regiment is no worse than them!"
"Give the devil some color!"
……
That's what Zhang Chi wants.
