The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 282 Annihilation of the st Regiment (Part )

In the Japanese position, Tetsujiro Yamada opened his mouth in surprise and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, the densely packed Chinese troops gathered into a stream of iron, rushing toward the center of the position without fear against the dense Japanese machine guns and artillery fire.

The blazing fire knocked down a group of Chinese troops, and soon another group of Chinese troops rushed up and continued to launch a fearless charge.

Although the firepower network formed by the Japanese light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, infantry artillery and regiment artillery continued to harvest the lives of the charging Chinese soldiers, each of the charging Chinese soldiers ignored the Japanese army like crazy. Intensive firepower, swarms of people rushed in one after another.

In terms of ferocity and bravery, this Chinese army is obviously much stronger than the 48th Division that they fought against not long ago.

What shocked Tetsujiro Yamada even more was that the target of the Chinese army's charge was the center of the Japanese position where they were charging. It was also the area where the Chinese army shelled the most violently, with a length of 300 meters. The positions and communication trenches have been shrouded in dense shells and gunpowder smoke from the Chinese army.

What puzzled him even more was that the front line of the Chinese troops rushing toward the intensively shelled position had already reached a distance of more than 100 meters from the position.

In other words, the impact point of the Chinese army's artillery shells is only more than a hundred meters away from the charging infantry of the Chinese army. According to the tactical principles of infantry and artillery coordination, this distance has long exceeded the minimum safe distance between the infantry and the impact point of the artillery shells. With This method of organizing an infantry attack among the Japanese army was enough for the officer who directed the attack to be sent to a military court.

But the Chinese army charging in front of them was actually charging with this crazy style of fighting. Yamada Tetsujiro even saw Chinese soldiers being knocked down by shrapnel from shells fired by the Chinese army.

In fact, the officers and soldiers of the 615th Regiment of the 103rd Division, who were rushing towards the center of the Japanese position, were experiencing a battle situation that was more cruel than what Tetsujiro Yamada had seen.

"Come on!"

Wang Shuhuai, the leader of the 615th Regiment, endured the severe pain of the wound on his face and ran wildly to attack while struggling to shout out the order to attack. The officers and soldiers of the 615th Regiment behind him also followed Wang Shuhuai without hesitation. Charges continued behind them, and comrades kept falling, but the officers and soldiers of the 615th Regiment still maintained the pace of attack and rushed towards the center of the Japanese position.

At this time, Wang Shuhuai, leader of the 615th Regiment, and the officers and soldiers behind him were bearing the air waves from their own artillery shells, and their heads were filled with the sharp whistling sound of their own artillery shells in flight.

Now, of the more than 2,000 people who started the attack with the 615th Regiment, only more than 800 are still charging. The attack queue of the 615th Regiment is only more than 100 meters away from the Japanese central position. At this distance On the ground, the air waves caused by the shock wave caused by the explosion of their own artillery shells shook them, and their charging steps were extremely difficult.

Wang Shuhuai, the leader of the 615th Regiment, who was almost at the front of the queue, could not breathe. He felt that his heart was swelling with the rumbling explosions, and his skin was burning due to the hot blast of shells. of pain.

There was only a buzzing sound in my ears and in my head.

Of course, as the distance got closer, the Japanese firepower also weakened. This was not because the Japanese were frightened by the Chinese infantry who were frantically bombarding the area with their own artillery and risking being covered by their own artillery fire. As the officers and soldiers of the 615th Regiment approached, the Japanese troops who attacked the officers and soldiers of the 615th Regiment with side fire on both sides of the central area inevitably had a shooting blind spot due to the shelled area in the center of the position, and many firearms were therefore unable to continue firing. .

Of course, this does not mean that Wang Shuhuai and his officers and soldiers have suffered less blows, because at a distance of more than 100 meters, they have entered the killing zone of their own artillery fire.

Boom boom-swish
The violent explosions and the sound of shells piercing the air were mixed together. Wang Shuhuai held a Czech light machine gun and charged forward in a mechanical manner. From time to time, there were screams of pain and screams behind him.

He knew that there were shouts from officers and soldiers hit by Japanese firepower, as well as screams from officers and soldiers hit by shrapnel from their own artillery shells.

Although accidental injuries continued, in Wang Shuhuai's view, these accidental injuries were worth it. Until now, he had clearly understood the purpose of the last order he received. The so-called impact point of the artillery shells of his own artillery was actually to let himself The troops risked being covered by their own artillery fire and used the barrage of their own artillery fire to break into the enemy's position.

Wang Shuhuai had no objection to the cruel facts contained in this order, because he knew that his troops had not received any infantry and artillery coordination training. If he did not adopt such risky tactics, with the combat effectiveness of the 103rd Division, there would be no There is even the slightest possibility of capturing the Japanese position.

In order to capture the Japanese position, and for the name and integrity of the Guizhou army and Guizhou athletes, all the sacrifices made now are worth it!
Boom boom - several more artillery shells fired by the Chinese army landed in the Japanese army's position. The exploding shells left a few shells in the Japanese army's position, and the flying shrapnel flew everywhere. They scattered in all directions within the position and flew towards the officers and soldiers of the 615th Regiment who were gradually approaching.

Wang Shuhuai, who was charging with all his strength, felt a wave of air coming from the front. The loud noise of the shell explosion caused the ground under his feet to tremble violently. A group of shrapnel also flew from above his head. One shrapnel hit Wang Shuhuai's right arm and drew a line. A gash bigger than the wound on his face.

Behind him, many more officers and soldiers were hit by shrapnel from their own artillery shells. Amid a burst of pain and screams, more than a dozen officers and soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

Wang Shuhuai completely ignored it, and with all his strength, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, go ahead, don't lose your place to the Guizhou people, take down the stubborn position, and see who dares to call me double spearmen or sheep army! "

"Kill!"

The officers and soldiers behind him also roared and rushed faster.

Wang Shuhuai shouted to kill and led the officers and soldiers behind him to continue the attack. With this attack, he rushed to less than a hundred meters away from the Japanese position.

Behind the attacking troops of the 103rd Division, He Wei, who had witnessed the entire attack, had already seen his eyes red, and the hand holding the telescope tightly had bulging veins and was full of bruises.

He Wei had no choice but to come up with such a risky tactic, but when he really saw the officers and soldiers of the 103rd Division being knocked down by the intensive firepower of the Japanese army during the impact, and being accidentally injured by their own artillery fire, He Wei's I felt sad and admired at the same time.

The bravery and fearlessness of death displayed by these officers and soldiers of Guizhou during the attack were no less than those of any army from various factions of the national army. In He Wei's view, their fighting will was also one of the best. What's more, the 103rd Division was no more than They had just reorganized for less than a day, and they were able to fight like this with the Japanese army as soon as they went into battle. Who said that the Guizhou army could not fight?

Who says the Guizhou army can't fight?

Seeing that the attack forward of the 103rd Division had rushed to a distance of less than 100 meters from the impact point, He Wei felt a breath of air in his chest, put down his telescope, and shouted to Tao Heiwa, the messenger next to him: " Damn it, damn it, tell the artillery to reduce the density of shelling immediately. After seeing the red signal flares we fired, all artillery stopped firing! "

Now the offensive troops of the 103rd Division have rushed very close to the center of the Japanese position at the cost of heavy casualties. The officers and soldiers of the 103rd Division have completed their mission and are close to the Japanese position. The weak point, the next key breakthrough, is naturally the task of the spy battalion.

The officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion behind He Wei also looked at the battle situation at the front with red eyes. After the 103rd Division attacked, He Wei led the second infantry company of the special agent battalion and the special agent platoon to the 103rd. The division's skirmishers followed up behind the line. Now that the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion saw the officers and soldiers of the 103rd Division, their blood surged. They had already picked up their weapons and were just waiting for He Wei's order.

He Wei picked up the speed machine in his hand, fired three shots into the sky, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and attack in!" Fang Jing, commander of the Second Infantry Company of the Secret Service Battalion, also waved his arms and raised a A flower machine gun shouted: "All charges!"

Then, He Wei was the first to rush forward. Without any special combat orders, the officers and soldiers of Fang Jing's Second Infantry Company of the Special Agent Battalion and Yang Biao's Special Agent Platoon rushed forward like tigers coming out of the mountain, shouting to kill.

Different from the old skirmish line tactics adopted by the 103rd Division, the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion who launched the charge were deployed completely with skilled skirmish group tactics. The officers and soldiers either rushed or leaped forward, and after deploying in skirmish group formation, they The attack was launched using alternating cover and echelon leap forward methods, and soon rushed to the rear of the attack forward of the 615th Regiment of the 103rd Division.

Just when the spy battalion launched its charge, the artillerymen who had received the notice also slowed down the intensity of the bombardment, and the density of bombs dropped suddenly in the center of the Japanese position.

In the Japanese position, Tetsujiro Yamada looked at the hundreds of officers and soldiers from the special agent battalion who suddenly appeared, and then at the center of the position where the density of bomb drops suddenly dropped. Suddenly, he understood everything.

The Chinese army is using troops with poor combat effectiveness to take risks and use artillery fire as cover to advance, and then uses elite troops to carry out key breakthrough attacks!

Yamada Tetsujiro suddenly felt a panic, immediately grabbed the phone, and ordered a little lost his voice: "All troops, concentrate their firepower and shoot at the Chinese army in the center of the position. The troops near the Chinese army's shelling area immediately maneuvered along the trenches towards the shelling zone. , we must be quick, the Chinese are coming!”

As Yamada Tetsujiro roared at the top of his lungs, the Japanese army's firepower was adjusted again. In an instant, the center of the Japanese army's position was intertwined with streams of bullets, and the clouds in the sky were whitened by bursts of shell flashes.

Although Yamada Tetsujiro tried his best to take remedial measures, it was too late. He Wei's advance layout and the tactical advantage gained at the cost of the lives of many officers and soldiers of the 103rd Division were not remedial at all.

The officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion with extremely high tactical literacy and skilled tactical movements had already rushed forward. They rushed up as fast as possible to join the attacking troops of the 615th Regiment of the 103rd Division. At this time, the 615th Regiment The forward of the attacking force was less than 60 meters away from the Japanese position.

The balance of victory completely tipped towards the Chinese army at this moment.

Boom boom-
The shells of the Japanese Type 41 mountain artillery hit the ground and exploded. Multiple explosion points exploded in front of the position. More than a dozen officers and soldiers of the 615th Regiment were blown away by the shock wave. The thrown soil also swept up He Wei who was lying on the ground. All in one.

Wang Shuhuai, the leader of the 615th Regiment beside He Wei, had now turned into a bloody man with numerous wounds on his body. As for which wounds were caused by his own artillery shells and which wounds were caused by the Japanese artillery shells, they had already been Can't tell.

Near Wang Shuhuai, the corpses of the officers and soldiers of the 615th Regiment were scattered everywhere. They were so densely packed that there was no end in sight. The air was filled with the smell of blood and death.

"Captain He, fortunately we did not disgrace our orders and rushed to the enemy's position."

Next to He Wei, Wang Shuhuai, holding a Czech light machine gun, sat in a pool of blood and said to He Wei with a trembling voice.

He Wei supported Wang Shuhuai and said with red eyes: "Brother, you fought well. Leave the rest to us. Someone, please pull your captain down for treatment!"

After hearing He Wei's words, Wang Shuhuai's pale face finally showed a smile, and then he shook a few times and fell down.

He Wei supported Wang Shuhuai and handed him over to the officers and soldiers of the 615th Regiment. He then turned around, glared at the Japanese position, and shouted with a machine gun: "Brothers, the time has come to kill the enemy. Follow us." Come on! Send the flare!"

He Wei's blood surged at this moment, and all he could think about was one word - kill!

He Wei roared and rushed towards the Japanese position. Tao Heiwa, the messenger who was following him, took out a signal gun and fired a fiery red flare.

When the signal flare, which signaled the artillery to stop shelling, flew into the air, the Chinese artillery's shelling of the center of the Japanese position also came to an abrupt end.

"Kill!"

In front of the Japanese army's position, there was a loud shout of killing. He Wei led the brothers from the special agent battalion to rush to the front and launched the final attack on the Japanese army's position dozens of meters away. The 615th Division of the 103rd Division The officers and soldiers of the regiment and the 618th regiment also swarmed and rushed after the spy battalion.

The whistling sound of artillery shells continued to be heard, and amid the rumbling explosions, in order to prevent the Chinese army from making a breakthrough, the Japanese army concentrated all available firepower and fired fiercely at the center of the position. Artillery shells continued to be fired, and Chinese army officers and soldiers continued to come. Cut down like wheat straw and blown away, there were officers and soldiers of the Secret Service Battalion and officers and soldiers of the 103rd Division.

However, no matter how much firepower the Japanese army concentrated, facing thousands of Chinese officers and soldiers swarming at a distance of only a few dozen meters, no matter how powerful the firepower was, they could not stop the wave of group charges, let alone restrain the oncoming attacks. The will of thousands of Chinese officers and soldiers to conquer the Japanese positions to the death!

Finally, after paying hundreds more casualties, He Wei led the special agent battalion to first rush into the Japanese position and opened a breakthrough in the Japanese position. The officers and soldiers of the 103rd Division also rushed in and completely invaded. Japanese defensive positions.

The vacuum in the central area of ​​the Japanese army that was originally undefended due to the bombardment of Chinese artillery allowed He Wei to rush into the Japanese position without even encountering the Japanese troops who came to intercept.

The vacuum in the center of the Japanese position gave the charging Chinese officers and soldiers enough time to break into the Japanese position. In the end, the Chinese officers and soldiers who broke into the Japanese position caused the breach to rapidly expand, spread, and scatter!

In the forward observation post of the 103rd Division, He Shaozhou looked at the Japanese defense line that had been breached, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Send the order, the division's engineering company, the division's supply company, the supervisory team, and those smoking pairs." Lancers, all press forward and tell the friendly troops that if they want revenge, they should come together as well!"

Immediately, almost all the troops of the 103rd Division rushed forward. The division's engineer company rushed forward, and the officers and soldiers of the baggage company carrying poles rushed forward. They were originally used to deal with their own people and act as a special agent company to supervise the battle team. Also rushed up.

Even the smoking double-gun soldiers who had been kicked out of the army had rifles in their hands and pipes on their waists, and they rushed towards the Japanese position with shouts.

Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers of the 48th Division, who had been beaten by the Japanese army and lost nearly half of their lives, also rushed out of the trenches and rushed towards the Japanese position, shouting to kill.

Even the 44th Division, which was close to the 48th Division's position and had not participated in the battle, saw the opportunity to beat the lost dog and sent an infantry regiment to attack from the side to attack the Japanese troops in the 48th Division's position. Cover attack and attack in the past.

On the battlefield, the charging horns of the Chinese army came one after another, and the sound of gunfire, artillery, killing, and trumpets were all mixed together.

More than 7,000 Chinese officers and soldiers from various units gathered into a surging force. After breaking into the Japanese position, they began to advance along the communication trenches, assaulting and killing, and finally submerged and tore apart the more than 2,000 Japanese troops in the position.
