War of Resistance

Chapter 103 Night Battle

The night was still desolate and the wind was blowing. Zhang Tianhai's face was like a knife, and he stood in front of the battalion command table full of murderous looks. The gunshot wound didn't seem to have affected him in the slightest.

Time, 1937 o'clock in the morning on August 8, 25.

"Check the watch!" Zhang Tianhai said to the squad leaders and platoon leaders of the three companies. This time he took over Sun Hong's command and wanted to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army himself!
Regarding Zhang Tianhai's initial act of seizing command power, Sun Hong had considerable opinions, but when Zhang Tianhai patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm relieved to have you guarding behind me", Sun Hong chose obey orders.

Zhang Tianhai is capable of fighting, and Sun Hong discovered a few days ago that the reason for obeying orders is not only because the former is an officer, but more because of the trust in each other.

Watches are generally only affordable by officers above the company level, and the watches in the hands of the nine squad leaders and the three platoon leaders are naturally obtained from the little devils who died in battle.

As for the so-called taboos, it's useless at this moment-these little devils can't kill me when they are alive, what kind of troubles can you cause after you die?
The second hand was ticking, and Zhang Tianhai finally announced the battle time, which was 15 minutes later.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the time is neither good nor bad, everything is just right. This time is when the devil just fell asleep, and Zhang Tianhai must regain the lost position before dawn. position!
If it cannot be completed before dawn, then the counterattack troops will all be exposed to the enemy's artillery fire, which is not worth the candle.

Now Zhang Tianhai doesn't have special forces capable of fighting independently, so he can only pin his hopes on the third company.

Zhang Tianhai took a deep breath and gave an order: "Launch an attack on the enemy on time in 15 minutes, and we must take back the outer positions!"

"Yes!" Everyone stood at attention and saluted with solemn expressions.

……

At night, it was still so quiet, and the chirping of cicadas rang out.

This should have been a quiet and peaceful scene, but what is so disturbing is that this place is full of murderous aura. They are soldiers of the national army!
To be precise, they are the officers and soldiers of the 30st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Division of No.[-]!

According to the battalion commander's order, they arrived at the scheduled attack location on time, and launched the attack when the time came.

"It's time, load the bullets, let's go!" The platoon leader of the third company said to several squad leaders in a deep voice.

The order they got was a sneak attack, and they all attacked after the gunshots sounded!
Now that the time was up, more than 200 officers and soldiers of the third company, including the battalion commander, quietly touched the position taken by the Japanese army...

The wind was blowing gently, and the same salty smell was still there. More than 200 national army officers and soldiers quietly touched the Japanese army's position, and the one who took the lead was Zhang Tianhai, who had just been injured and underwent surgery.

This battle was very important, so Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but personally lead the troops forward. If the position was regained, the Japanese invaders would have to spend a lot of effort if they wanted to attack again.On the contrary, if the position cannot be regained, then the Japanese army will have a bridgehead after attacking the second-line position.

Zhang Tianhai is not stupid, and he also knows the difference between himself and Xiong Xinmin.

Xiong Xinmin is the commander of the regiment, and there are more than [-] people under his command, but Zhang Tianhai is different. He is just a small battalion commander, not even the middle ranks, and there are only more than [-] people under his command. .

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the supplements had arrived. However, for the first battalion, these supplementary troops still had to be integrated before fighting in order to exert their due combat effectiveness.

As for this job, Zhang Tianhai entrusted Sun Hong to do it, and what he has to do tonight is to act as the third company commander and regain the lost ground!

The Japanese army that fought head-on with the 36th Division was the elite of the standing division after all, and they found Zhang Tianhai's troops before they could get close.

The gunshot rang out suddenly, and then it rang out, and the muzzle flame flickered. From a distance, it looked like the little fluorescent lights emitted by the fireflies, beautiful and cold.

A round of bullets left the muzzle with scorching heat and shot at the enemy's body.

All of a sudden, gunshots rang out.

Next door to the [-]th Regiment defense area, the [-]th Regiment headquarters.

From the moment the gunshots sounded, Xiong Xinmin got up from the temporary bed. After all, it was a time of war, but it was necessary to prevent the enemy from attacking and stealing the camp at night.

"What's the situation in our position now?" Xiong Xinmin frowned and asked everyone. When he got up, he sent someone to check the situation on the front line.

As for why you sent someone to look at it?The reason is simple, the phone line was cut.

And the telephone line that was cut off was not done by the Japanese, but by the traitors. It is extremely difficult to alert the defenders.

The [-]rd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment was also arranged by Xiong Xinmin behind the front line positions, so as to support the [-]st Battalion in combat at any time.

And what about the second battalion?It is just completed the supplement, and has not had time to issue combat missions.

Since it wasn't done by the Japanese, it can only be the traitors who infiltrated it. It should be noted that the frontline battle is urgent, and many troops are temporarily transferred from other troops, such as the Zhejiang Local Security Regiment or the Jiangsu Local Security Regiment. The police in Shanghai have all been transferred into the army to support the battle.

"Regiment seat, from the direction of the gunshots, the troops of the [-]th Regiment should be fighting. Judging from the scale of the gunfire, the two sides should have invested about one battalion of troops." The one who spoke was the regiment of the [-]th Regiment. He Qiguang, the staff officer of the Ministry, is quite capable, and he is trusted by the new head of the regiment, Xiong Xinmin.

"Well, I know, it should be the work of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment." Xiong Xinmin nodded and said, "I ordered the [-]st Battalion to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese positions immediately. It would be the best if they could regain the lost ground."

"Yes!" A signal soldier next to him responded, and immediately sent a telegram to the first battalion.

"Tuan Zuo, there is one thing I don't know about my humble position." He Qiguang said.

"Say." Xiong Xinmin said in a deep voice.

He Qiguang was not one of those talkative people, so he said it directly: "Why did the regiment launch a fierce attack without seeking to regain the lost ground? Isn't this a waste of troops."

Xiong Xinmin smiled and said: "The friendly army is fighting so fiercely, why don't our 36 regiment cooperate? Even if we can't regain the lost ground, we can still restrain the enemy army. Don't forget, we are all comrades-in-arms, all [-] The division's soldiers."

In the last sentence, Xiong Xinmin said it solemnly, and even warned everyone that at any time, the overall situation of the War of Resistance should be the most important thing.
