Zhang Wenbin's injuries were not very serious, but the bullet hit the steel helmet, causing a concussion, and there were also some skin injuries. Vertex updates are the fastest
As the hygienist treated, Zhang Wenbin gradually came to his senses, and seeing the devil soldiers rushing over quickly, Zhang Wenbin immediately began to give the order to stop.
Two weapons support companies, two infantry artillery companies, and three infantry battalions immediately launched fierce fire interceptions.
Sixteen MG34 general-purpose machine guns, four 82mm mortars, twelve 75mm infantry guns, eighteen Type 92 infantry guns from three infantry battalions of the Eighth Regiment of Honor, eighteen Browning heavy machine guns, twenty-seven 60mm mortars, and eighty-one Czech light machine guns, hundreds of submachine guns and more than eighty grenadiers began to fire.
When the army was expanded into the 47th Group Army, Sun Weiguo armed all his family resources into the army.
At present, each infantry regiment of Sun Weiguo has more than 3,000 people, and each battalion has six Type 92 infantry guns, six Browning heavy machine guns, and other weapons such as submachine guns and mortars. Vertex updates are the fastest
In terms of weaponry, Sun Weiguo set the standard that each infantry regiment could completely suppress the firepower of one wing of the Japanese army.
As the 8th Regiment of Honor began to launch an all-out fire strike, in an instant, shells hit the charging devil soldiers, and the bullets poured like rain.
The little devils who charged with rifles fell down in an instant, and the remaining little devils began to hide, but in the face of such a fierce attack, no matter how they dodged, they would be hit, and the counterattack organized by the 103rd Wing of the Japanese army was completely suppressed, and thousands of little devils soon had three or four hundred casualties, and the remaining little devils had to quickly withdraw to their positions.
The officers and men of the 8th Regiment of Honor took advantage of this opportunity to quickly pass through the anti-tank trenches, and Zhang Wenbin was wounded and ordered the troops to quickly build fortifications.
The fighters immediately began to dig individual bunkers, and by 10:30 p.m., two infantry battalions of the 8th Honor Regiment, two weapons support companies, and two infantry artillery batteries all crossed the anti-tank trenches. Vertex updates are the fastest
The artillery battalion directly under the Honorable Fourth Division set up artillery positions to support the operations of various units, and all the engineering units of the Ninth Army began to march according to the plan.
But so far, the 8th Regiment of Honor has paid the price of more than 500 casualties, among which the colonel commander He Ziming is also on the list of casualties.
The little devils were naturally unwilling to fail, and they were still using light and heavy machine gun fire points to shoot, causing casualties to the fighters from time to time.
Engineer units had already begun to brave Japanese fire to the anti-tank trenches, which they quickly filled and built roads for armored units to pass.
Zhao Lerong, chief of staff of the 47 th Group Army, was holding a telescope in the rear to observe the operation, and he was relieved to see the position occupied by the Eighth Regiment of Honor. Vertex updates are the fastest
Because of the 201st Division Armored Artillery Regiment and the artillery brigade directly under the group army to assist in the operation, most of the Japanese firepower was suppressed, and they could not shoot at all.
In particular, these mountain guns and howitzers of the 10th Independent Mountain Artillery Wing and the 1st Brigade of the 8th Heavy Artillery Wing were almost no longer able to perform.
In Huizhou, in the headquarters of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army, Fukutaro Nishiyama, commander of the 107th Brigade, has already made a report on the situation on the front line, and he hopes that the commander of the division, Kizaburo Hamamoto, will immediately contact the aviation unit and let the aviation unit take off overnight to support the front-line operation.
As more and more Chinese troops began to cross the anti-tank trenches, Fukutaro Nishiyama had begun to realize how dangerous his position was.
After Kizaburo Hamamoto got this report, he stared at the map, and he immediately asked the headquarters for help, and at the same time ordered the 107th Brigade to intercept the Chinese troops. Vertex updates are the fastest
"Your Excellency Division Commander, the 107th Brigade Headquarters sent a message again, the Chinese troops are currently filling the anti-tank trenches, their main attack is still ours, Nishiyama Fukutaro hopes to launch a general counterattack against the Chinese troops, if the anti-tank trenches are filled and the Chinese tank troops attack, you will have unimaginable consequences."
While Kizaburo Hamamoto was checking the map, Ryo Sakuma, chief of staff of the division, came to him quickly and reported.
The commander of the 103rd Wing, who had already observed the Chinese troops filling the anti-tank trenches, realized how critical the situation was, and he quickly began to make a report.
Fukutaro Nishiyama knew better how serious the consequences would be once the anti-tank trenches were filled, once the Chinese armored forces attacked, he did not dare to hesitate and immediately began to report.
At this time, Nishiyama Fukutaro had already begun to prepare for the mobilization of three infantry brigades of the 103rd Wing and the fourth brigade of the 170th Wing of the reserve, with a total of more than 4,000 troops for a counterattack.
He wanted to drive all the Chinese troops who had crossed the anti-tank trenches, thus completely interrupting the filling of the anti-tank trenches by the Chinese troops.
"Your Excellency Division Commander, the command has called back, the aviation unit is ready, and they will take off soon, but the aviation unit needs ground troops to carry out guided bombing."
A chief of staff of the Shozo came to Kizaburo Hamamoto with a telegram, and he quickly reported.
"Immediately contact the 107 Brigade and ask them to guide the aviation to bomb the Chinese troops, and when the bombing is over, the troops will immediately launch a counterattack."
Kizaburo Hamamoto got the air force to start sorties, he quickly began to give the order said.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Chief of Staff Ryo Sakuma immediately replied.
At this time, on the front-line position of the Japanese army, Fukutaro Nishiyama, commander of the 107th Brigade of the Japanese Army, has begun to convene a meeting of officers at or above the rank of commander of the Major Brigade.
He was ready to start attacking, and he knew what the consequences would be once the anti-tank trenches were filled.
"The 1st and 2nd Battalions attacked from the front, attracting the fire of the Shina troops, and the 3rd and 4th Battalions attacked from both sides. The artillery units must cover at all costs, and they must let the troops engage in white-knuckle battles with the Chinese troops, as long as they engage in white-knuckle battles, we will be able to win! ”
Nishiyama Fukutaro looked at the officers with a cold gaze, and he gave the order in a serious tone.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." The officers immediately saluted and replied.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the Division Headquarters has sent a telegram, Your Excellency the Division Commander agrees with our counterattack plan, and the Aviation Unit will immediately contact us directly, as long as we provide the Aviation Unit with bombing targets, the Aviation Unit will immediately launch a bombing." The chief of staff of the 107th Brigade came to the brigade headquarters and said excitedly.
"Mixi, you go back immediately and prepare, the artillery unit will fire flares, provide bombing targets for the aviation unit, and at the same time cooperate with the aviation unit to carry out operations."
After Nishiyama Fukutaro heard the report of Chief of Staff Nakasa, he said with an excited expression on his face. (To be continued.) )
