War of Resistance

Chapter 462 The Battle of Zhangshan ([-])

The battle is still going on, and the fighting between Zhiyituan and the Japanese army has not stopped.

After all, the officers and soldiers of the Zhiyi Regiment had an advantage in terms of location, and their firepower was not weak, which temporarily prevented the majestic Japanese army from rushing forward.

This group of Japanese soldiers received the order to die. Even if their comrades fell, they would step on their shoulders and rush up.

The grenadiers of the Japanese army continued to exert their power, almost aiming at the heavy machine guns of the national army. For a while, the firepower of the national army began to gradually weaken.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Tianhai gritted his teeth. If the small artillery battery was not used for air defense, he would have directly set up the high-level dual-purpose Soloton cannon directly on the position and fired at the Japanese troops.

"Damn it, these fucking little Japan!" Seeing these officers and soldiers fall one by one under the firepower of the Japanese artillery and machine guns, Zhang Tianhai cursed angrily.

Li Chunfei, who was also watching the firepower of his troops being gradually weakened, said with a worried expression on his face: "Sir, if this continues, the recruits from our first battalion may not be able to withstand the firepower of the Japanese army..."

Zhang Tianhai gritted his teeth, then picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm Zhang Tianhai, answer Sanying's call for me!"

Soon, the call was connected.

Zhang Tianhai didn't hesitate, and said directly to the phone, "Is Wang Ziqing, the commander of the third battalion, here? I'm Zhang Tianhai!"

"Reporting to the group, Wang Ziqing, the commander of the third battalion, is reporting to you!" A clear voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Wang Ziqing, immediately transfer your cannon company to the First Battalion for support! Immediately!" The gunshots around were too loud, and Zhang Tianhai yelled directly into the phone.

"Yes, Tuan Zuo!" Wang Ziqing responded, and then gave the order directly.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianhai let out a long sigh of relief, and then continued to watch the progress of the battle.

Li Chunfei's battalion had the most recruits and was responsible for the important task of defending the main position, so Zhang Tianhai was really worried, so he personally took charge of the first battalion and visited some of them to conduct battle commands.

……

The casualties of the Japanese army began to increase gradually, and Kawashima Tsumi's face gradually became impatient. After all, this time he was attacking upwards and did not take advantage of the geographical advantage. Moreover, the enemy's firepower was not weaker than theirs, except that the artillery was not as powerful as them. In addition, the other support firepower is only strong but not weak.

In particular, the power of the mortars and grenade launchers was not small. The main reason was the intensive artillery fire. In addition, the second and fourth battalions also mobilized firepower to provide appropriate support, and the Japanese army was beaten badly.

Without the proper fire support of these two battalions, it would be difficult to face the onslaught of so many Japanese troops with the firepower of one battalion alone.

"Hit it! Don't be soft! Throw the grenade as far as you can!" Xu Dalian was shouting, very excited.

Although Xu Dalian's squad has already lost five or six people, this does not affect his enthusiasm for the war of resistance. After all, the war has already reached this level, and it is impossible not to continue.

The more ferocious the battle, the greater the casualties. This is a truth that has not changed since ancient times.

"Report sir, the Second Company is currently suffering heavy casualties, and will soon lose more than half of it. Do you want to immediately join the reserve team?" The deputy company commander of the First Battalion and Second Company came up and reported to Zhang Tianhai and Li Chunfei.

"Join the reserve team of the third company immediately to ensure that the position is not lost! You go back to command the battle immediately, and I will let the messengers convey the matter of joining the reserve team!" Li Chunfei said directly. Come up, if you fight hand-to-hand, you will suffer a big loss.

"Yes, sir!" In response, the deputy company commander of the second company hurried down.

"The messenger!" Li Chunfei shouted in a deep voice.

"Here!" The orderly stood at attention and saluted.

"Immediately order the third company of the reserve team to go into battle immediately!" Li Chunfei said in a deep voice, but don't forget that he is also a battalion commander now, and a battalion commander of the main battalion, so he naturally has official authority.

"Yes, sir!" The orderly ran out immediately after receiving the order.

In the dark night, countless Japanese soldiers rushed forward, but fell one by one under the direct firepower and died in battle.

Kawashima Tsumi, who was in charge of directing the attack on the front line, saw this scene and it could be said that his eyes were tearing apart. However, they had no choice but to take Zhangshan from the enemies in front of them, so they had to open a gap from here. .

Due to the dangerous location of Mount Zhang, and the easiest way to enter the mountain is the line of defense defended by this battalion, so the first battalion will face the greatest pressure.

"It's fuel-efficient! Go!!" Kawashimazu held up a samurai sword in his hand and shouted, baring his teeth.

However, things do not depend on human will. The Japanese army's passionate charge could not break down the national army's defense line, but it did lose a lot.

"So yo click, the firepower of these Chinese troops is too fierce. If we continue to attack, I am afraid that the casualties will be even greater, and it is very likely that there will be a delay in time, which will cause the chasing troops of the Chinese army to catch up! Mr. Chichai, I I believe that we should be flexible and not obsessed with completely obeying the orders of the higher authorities!" Kato Yujin, who is also the captain of the regiment, said to Akashiba Yaezo.

Akashiba Yaezo thought for a while, and said: "Kato-kun, hold on for another 5 minutes, and we will retreat after another 5 minutes! We have already killed and injured so many people, and it would be a great pity if we just give up. The mountain is one of the forward positions for our army to attack Taierzhuang next time, and its strategic significance is unquestionable. It is the loyalty to the emperor! Therefore, Kato-kun and my subordinates will fight together!"

"That's the only way to go. If after 5 minutes, the battle on the front line still hasn't improved, then please ask Chichai-kun to issue a retreat order to preserve the essence of our team, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices!" Kato Yujin's face turned pale. Said very seriously.

"Well, that's for sure." Akashiba Yaezo replied with a serious face.

To be honest, Akashiba Yaezo is not ugly, and belongs to the type that is a bit biased and handsome, but in terms of age, Kato Yujin is still older for several years, and Kato is also a relatively stable type of person, Therefore, Akashiba Yaezo still attaches great importance to his opinion.

However, just as the temporary westward detachment formed by the Chichai United and the remnants of the Kato United was hesitating, the fifth artillery of the artillery regiment on the top of the mountain had already been erected.

Cannon, it's about to fire!

Zhao Chengge, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, adjusted the angle of these artillery on the mountain. This time, he wanted to shoot back all the shells that had just hit the mountainside. cover!

"The muzzle is tilted down two degrees, and the muzzle is tilted three degrees to the southeast, ready for artillery fire!!!" Zhao Chengge yelled.

The deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion is responsible for setting up the artillery that has just been brought up. They must complete it as quickly as possible, otherwise they will not be able to kill these rascals!
Under Zhao Chengge's roar, the first five artillery pieces erected by the Zhiyi regiment artillery battalion were already under the operation of the artillery, ready to fire at any time!

"Cannon No. [-] is ready!"

"The No. [-] gun is ready!"

"The No. [-] gun is ready!"

"Cannon No. [-] is ready!"

"Cannon No. [-] is ready!"

The artillerymen are reporting loudly, after all, they are ready and ready to fire at any time!

"fire!!!"

Zhao Chengge roared, and immediately waved the small command flag in his hand downwards, and the muzzles of five 75mm caliber [-] field guns immediately shot out a burst of fireworks.

At the same time, there was a loud noise.

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

……

The five cannons fired almost at the same time, and the sounds almost merged into one, very pleasant and shocking!
