War of Resistance

Chapter 113 The Onslaught of the Takeshita Regiment
The cannonballs slammed down like raindrops, covering the town, shaking the ground.

"Boom~~~"

The earth was trembling, and violent vibrations spread through the ground to the surroundings.

If you look at it from a distance, this place is simply a sea of ​​flames.

The smoke column, the fly ash, the sea, and the blue ocean behind it all form a beautiful but cruel picture.

Of course, the bombardment of the Japanese army cannot last forever. After all, the devils are not as rich and powerful as Maozi. When fighting, the shells seem to be free of money.

Soon, the Takeshita Regiment had a shortage of shells and stopped shelling.

……

The headquarters of the 43rd Regiment of the Japanese Third Division.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Captain, the commander of the artillery position, Yoshida Nakazuo, reported that there is a shortage of shells, and there are only a hundred rounds left. He called to ask you if you want to stop the shelling!" Chief of Staff Matsushita asked while holding the phone road.

Takeshita was not the kind of person who would get angry at his subordinates when he was in a bad mood. On the contrary, he disdained such behavior.Hmm...unless you can't help it.

I saw Takeshita Bing nodded lightly, and then said: "Yes, the artillery will stop bombarding, and the infantry will immediately go into battle!"

"Hay!"

……

Following the order of the commander of the regiment, Takeshita Bing, the joint cavalry brigade of the third brigade of the 43rd regiment of the Japanese army once again launched a fierce attack on the Chinese army's position.

Of course, the cavalry brigade here has naturally become dismounted infantry - the cavalry's target is too big, facing the Chinese army that only lacks heavy weapons such as heavy artillery, the cavalry's target is too big, it should be noted that the Chinese army is lacking Heavy artillery, but there are definitely a lot of light and heavy machine guns!
Ever since, the third brigade with the most remaining infantry brigade in the 43rd Regiment of the Japanese Army jointly launched an attack with the dismounted but fully equipped cavalry brigade.

On the horizon hundreds of meters away, rows of skirmishers emerged.

Yes, you read that right, the straggler line!

Japanese commander Takeshita is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart - he did not use the pig-rush tactics that the Japanese army is proud of, because that would bring huge casualties to the troops who have no shelter on this alluvial plain!
……

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander, the devils are attacking, so many devils! So many devils!" A figure ran in in a panic, and it was none other than Xu Sangou.

Seeing Xu Sangou's flustered look, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help frowning slightly, and scolded: "Why panic, isn't there your company commander... By the way, don't you belong to the second company? You Why are you joining in the fun?"

Before Xu Sangou could explain, Sun Hong said: "Yu Lin, I can explain this to you. After the death of Company Commander Gao, I appointed Yu Fei, the second platoon leader, as the acting company commander. Now Xu Sangou is The acting platoon leader of their second platoon. As for staying to fight, he asked for it himself, saying that when the front line was short of people, he had to stay to avenge the brothers."

Zhang Tianhai still has some affection for Xu Sangou, the boy who has been his follower since he was in Xi'an, especially when the old subordinates are almost dead.

So, after listening to Sun Hong's explanation, Zhang Tianhai immediately frowned, and scolded: "Aren't you fooling around? Xu Sangou, go back to Erlian and become your acting platoon leader. You have more soldiers One is not too many, you are one less, go back. Also, Old Wei, take Lao Tzu to the front line to see the situation. No matter how many enemies come, Li Chunfei must give Lao Tzu the position."

Zhang Tianhai's words were very strong, and there was no room for a hint of rejection, and it was a rare and severe tone. No one dared to refute, especially after the leader left.

That's right, as soon as the shelling stopped, Commander Hu left the headquarters of the first battalion and went to the front to inspect the position. If this position was lost from him, Hu Jiaji, the commander would kill him in a rage Not impossible.

"Yes!" Wei He and others responded, but only Xu Sangou had a lot of incomprehension in his eyes.

Yes, Xu Sangou didn't understand why the battalion commander didn't give him a chance to avenge the brothers in the company?
Company Commander Li, Company Commander Xiang, Company Commander Gao, Old Squad Leader, Xu Mu... These pair of eyes that passed away and were unwilling seemed to be staring at him, Xu Sangou, so he had to avenge his brothers!

If the Japanese invaders are not driven away, why should we call ourselves home?

Just when he was fighting hard, the battalion commander abruptly cut off his thoughts, so he didn't understand—why didn't the battalion commander want to avenge these dead brothers?

Of course the battalion commander wants to avenge his brothers, Xu Sangou knows this very well, but the battalion commander is an officer, and he can't ruin the first battalion just because of his own preferences, but Xu Sangou is different. If you die, you die, and you deserve to die anyway.

With many puzzles, Xu Sangou finally chose to obey the command of the battalion commander unconditionally, just because of one word, letter.

When Wei He and the others carried Zhang Tianhai to the position, the soldiers had already entered the battlefield, and they just waited for the little devil to enter the range of their rifles before shooting.

Seeing that the casualties in the company were not too large, and when four-fifths of the people were still on the battlefield preparing to fight, Zhang Tianhai's hanging heart finally lost half, at least he could withstand this wave of attacks .

What matters in war is not only the number of people, but also the timing, location, and harmony of people.

They don't take advantage of the weather; they have the location; more importantly, the harmony of people!Let me ask, which of these officers and soldiers didn't go to the battlefield with the mood of going to death?
It's not that they like to go and want to die, but because they have no way to retreat, and behind them are compatriots, brothers and sisters. If they don't die, then their relatives will be killed by little devils!
There is no trace of fear on these young but resolute and mature faces, and there is only that desperate heart!
"Battalion Commander, let's go back! We are here, and we will only distract the brothers." Wei He persuaded that he is now the battalion commander's security guard, so he should do something worthy of his duties.

Zhang Tianhai is not the kind of person who knows that he can't do it, on the contrary, he follows the good advice: "Okay. Then let's go back!"

Just as Wei He and the others were about to carry Zhang Tianhai away, Zhang Tianhai seemed to have remembered something, casually pointed to a soldier beside him, and said, "You, come here."

The soldier whose name was called trotted over and saluted, "Sir."

Zhang Tianhai didn't talk nonsense, and cut straight to the point: "I am Zhang Tianhai, your battalion commander. You go and tell your company commander a word, and just say that I, Zhang Tianhai, said: 'There are people, there is a position!' Do you understand?"

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" The soldier responded.
