Chapter 1222: Bomber Threat
"Immediately counterattack and concentrate fire on the Japanese to expose the firing point. Zhang Wenbin immediately began to give orders.
Thirty No. 4 tanks began to use tank guns to fire armor-piercing shells, and eighteen 57MM anti-aircraft guns of the 5th Panzer Regiment anti-aircraft artillery battalion also began to shoot unwillingly backward.
THE TWELVE 75MM INFANTRY GUNS OF THE SEVENTH REGIMENT AND THE EIGHTH REGIMENT OF HONOR, THE FOUR 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS OF THE WEAPON SUPPORT COMPANY, AND THE 92-TYPE INFANTRY GUNS DIRECTLY UNDER THE BATTALIONS BEGAN TO SHOOT, AND HUNDREDS OF ARTILLERY PIECES BEGAN TO SHOOT, AND ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS AND GRENADES WERE FIRED AT THE EXPOSED FIRE POINTS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY.
At the same time, MG34 general-purpose machine guns, Czech light machine guns, Browning heavy machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, 60MM mortars, and Type 89 grenadiers are also firing.
Light and heavy machine gun bullets and miniature grenades were fired at the Japanese firing points one after another.
In a Japanese bunker, there are two Type 92 heavy machine guns for the little devils, and grenades are coming here, the little devils don't care, the grenades can't destroy the bunker here.
But when the armor-piercing bullets came towards the inside of the bunker, the little devils inside panicked, more than a dozen little devils died here, and a heavy machine gun was destroyed.
As the Honorable 7th Regiment, the Honorable 8th Regiment, the 1st Armored Battalion of the 5th Armored Regiment, and the Battle Defense Artillery Battalion began to counterattack, the little devil positions withstood heavy blows.
The tanks began to stop firing and move forward, and the rifle-armed infantry quickly followed.
AT PRESENT, THE INFANTRY REGIMENTS UNDER THE VARIOUS HONORARY DIVISIONS ARE VERY WELL-EQUIPPED, AND ONE OF THEIR REGIMENTS DIRECTLY UNDER THEM IS SIX 75MM GERMAN-MADE INFANTRY GUNS, EIGHT MG34 GENERAL-PURPOSE MACHINE GUNS, TWO 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, AND THREE INFANTRY BATTALIONS ARE EQUIPPED WITH 18 BROWNING HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, 81 CZECH-STYLE LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, 18 92-TYPE INFANTRY GUNS, 81 GGRENADIERS, AND 27 60MM MORTARS.
The Honorable 7th Regiment and the Honorary 8th Regiment are currently attacking, which means that these two regiments have twice as many weapons.
What's more, these two regiments also have the first armored battalion of the main force of the fifth armored regiment, and the battle defense artillery battalion assists in the battle, especially the 57MM battle defense gun of the battle defense artillery battalion.
The infantry followed behind the tanks and quickly advanced towards the Devil Soldiers' positions, with various weapons covering behind.
The captain of the 56th Wing had a frightened look on his face, and his headquarters was shelled, but fortunately he did not suffer fatal losses.
Seeing that a large number of Chinese infantry began to rush behind the tank, the captain of the Dazuo Wing frowned tightly, he looked ahead, he immediately ordered the second brigade, the third brigade to immediately support, open fire, at this time he can no longer care about the problem of exposed fire points.
"Brigade commander, the attack of the Chinese troops is too fierce, and now they are not far from the position, please contact the artillery unit immediately and let the artillery unit support, otherwise our position will be overcome. The Chinese army dispatched more than 7,000 people, and the number of its artillery pieces was dozens. ”
The captain of the Osa-wing immediately contacted the brigade commander Hara Shousande by phone, and he reported with a solemn expression on his face.
"Don't panic, I'll contact the artillery wing immediately, your wing must hold its position, and you must not let the Chinese troops capture the position." Hara Shousande said in a serious tone.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." The captain of the Great Zuo Wing said immediately.
However, just when the captain of the Dazuo Wing was in a panic, the fire attack of the Chinese troops began to weaken significantly, the tanks were also accelerating, and the infantry began to disperse.
"What are the Chinese troops going to do, do they have any tricks?"
"What the hell is going on with these Chinese troops, how can they have such heavy firepower."
"This must be Sun Weiguo's troops, only Sun Weiguo's troops will have such strong combat effectiveness."
The Devil Soldiers began to talk, and the attacking Chinese troops began to stop firing, but the tanks and infantry remained close to the Devil Soldiers' positions.
At this time, twelve bombers appeared in the sky, and after the return of the 3rd Independent Flight Squadron, the 85th Independent Flying Squadron, which had already been on standby at the airport, immediately began to take off.
The devil soldier bombers began to bomb, and the officers and men of the Honor 7th Regiment and the Honor 8th Regiment had already stopped shooting and concealing, and the devil soldiers could only carry out cover bombing.
But at this time, the little devil grenadier began to fire smoke bombs, which were all aimed at the Chinese troops, and the little devil was guiding the bombers to bomb targets.
"Boom, boom." The imp bombers began to drop, and one after another aerial bombs began to fall, and a huge explosion sounded.
It was not only the Ninth Army that was bombed, but also the troops of the 54th Army.
The troops of the 14th Division launched several attacks in a row and were repulsed, and when the devil soldier bombers appeared, the troops of the 14th Division, which was mainly attacking, had no choice but to withdraw again.
By now, the casualties of the troops of the 14th Division have exceeded five hundred, including one regiment commander who was wounded.
Army Commander Chen Lie personally came to the front line to supervise the battle, but in the face of the Japanese air force, Chen Lie had no way.
"Contact Commander-in-Chief Sun immediately, the Japanese firepower is too fierce, although we have howitzer regiment support, but in the face of the Japanese air force, we are still under pressure, can you ask Commander-in-Chief Sun to directly contact the air force units and let the air force units support the operation."
Chen Lie looked at the front completely covered by gunsmoke, and his brows furrowed tightly. He looked at the chief of staff and said.
"Yes, Throne." The chief of staff immediately agreed.
At the fourth meeting, in the former enemy's general headquarters temporarily established by Sun Weiguo, Sun Weiguo was talking to Dai Jitao, the commander of the New Seventh Army, at this time.
"Commander-in-chief, we found the puppet army troops here, although the Japanese puppet army troops are sticking to the fortifications, but we are sure that we will be able to take them down, but the little devil aviation is constantly dispatched, and our several attacks have been hindered, if there is no way to stop the little devil aviation troops, I am afraid that our casualties will be very large, and we will not be able to take Foshan at all."
Dai Jitao also began to report to Sun Weiguo on the phone, saying that the little devil aviation is obviously the biggest threat at present.
"Okay, I know, you must strengthen the attack there, and you must not let the little devil judge where our main attack is." Sun Weiguo explained again.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Dai Jitao agreed, while Sun Weiguo immediately hung up the phone.
Looking at the map, Sun Weiguo had a solemn expression on his face, and after a period of silence, he came to the side of the communication soldier.
"Send a telegram to the Military Commission." Sun Weiguo looked at the communication soldier and said.
