War of Resistance

Chapter 50 Artillery Support
The battle continued, and Sun Hong, who served as the temporary acting battalion commander, took the lead and charged with the officers and soldiers of the first battalion.

The ferocious offensive of the Chinese army made the Japanese army unable to withstand the pressure for a while and retreated in a hurry.

"Ha Youku! Hold on! Hold on!" A Japanese officer shouted loudly in the retreating team.

But it is doomed, all this is in vain, the defeat is like a mountain, this sentence is not just talk.

The Japanese army, who fled in panic, was defeated by the attack of the soldiers of the national army.

From the moment the Battle of Songhu began, these Japanese troops continued to fight. First, the officers and soldiers of the 87th Division and the 88th Division took turns, and now it is the 36th Division.

The soldiers of the 36th Division have taken over the position for two full days. During these two days, the 36th Division's attack on the Japanese army was extremely fierce, and all kinds of weapons were used.

The only weak point is that the proportion of light and heavy weapons in the basic combat units of the Chinese army is weaker than that of the Japanese army, such as mortars, light machine guns, heavy machine guns and so on.

The Chinese army's repeated attacks like a lifeless attack finally made the Japanese army unable to resist and began to rout.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

……

Repeated explosions sounded from Wuzhou Road to Kunming Road. It was the sound of grenades exploding. Some were thrown by the National Army and some by the Japanese.

In the battle, once the troops lose organized resistance, it will easily evolve into a rout, and the consequences of the rout are very serious and will always be accompanied by various losses, just like the two remaining tanks of the Japanese army were also pursued during the battle. The officers and soldiers of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment who came here were killed with cluster grenades.

By the time Zhang Tianhai caught up with the vanguard, he had already reached Shajing Port.

I saw that the Shajing Harbor was heavily guarded, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was like the hedgehog. There was one soldier at three steps, one light machine gun at five steps, and not many heavy machine guns, only two.

The group of Japanese soldiers in black navy combat uniforms fled back to Shajing Port in a hurry. In addition, the leading chasing troops were beaten head-on by the Japanese army, and more than [-] people were killed and injured.

"Retreat for Lao Tzu! Retreat for Lao Tzu!" Zhang Tianhai, who just saw this scene, shouted loudly.

After hearing the voice of the battalion commander, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion quickly withdrew.

Zhang Tianhai held up Sun Hong's shoulder and said, "Old Sun, now is not the time to talk about things, hurry up, you lead the officers and soldiers to consolidate the position we currently occupy. Your company is in charge of the Kunming road defense line, and the company Take charge of the defense line of Wuzhou Road to prevent being attacked by the little devils on both sides!"

"Understood!" Sun Hong responded and shouted to the officers and soldiers behind him, "Brothers of the Third Company, come with me!"

"First company commander!" Zhang Tianhai called out to Li Chunfei.

At this time, Li Chunfei was also in a state of embarrassment, but fortunately, he was not seriously injured or sacrificed. Otherwise, in a temporary emergency, where would Zhang Tianhai find such a qualified company commander with formal military education?

Did you go to the regiment to dig Guo Qiliang back?Zhang Tianhai admits that he has no such courage.

"It's a humble job." Li Chunfei's body is similar to Zhang Tianhai's body, both are black and white, and the middle of the inside is some of the goose green that should have been there.

"You lead the company, guard Wuzhou Road, and eliminate the devils upstairs by the way! In addition, send someone to the regiment headquarters, just say what I mean, ask for artillery support!" Zhang Tianhai didn't talk nonsense to Li Chunfei, and gave the order directly.

"Understood!" Li Chunfei responded and led a company of officers and soldiers to guard Wuzhou Road.

And what Zhang Tianhai wants to do is to lead the second company to stay in place, waiting for the support troops of the regiment to come up, and then take Shajing Port in one fell swoop!

[-] Regiment Headquarters.

At this time, head of Hu Jiaji was waiting for Zhang Tianhai's good news, because he had seen in the telescope that Zhang Tianhai led a battalion to break through the Japanese defense line on Wuzhou Road.

At this moment, a big-headed soldier ran from the front line to Hu Jiaji's side, standing at attention and saluting: "Tuanzuo, I...I am a soldier of one battalion and one company, yes...it was the battalion commander who asked me to come to you and ask for it. Artillery support."

"Artillery support? What happened on the front line?" Hu Jiaji frowned slightly and asked urgently. He is just like this, impatient and hot tempered.

The soldier took a sigh of relief and said, "Report to the regiment, our first battalion has broken through the Japanese defense lines on Wuzhou Road and Kunming Road, and now only the devils from Shajing Port are left, and the defense is very tight. If there is no artillery support, it will be very difficult. It's possible that we won't be able to win Shajing Port!"

"Okay. No problem, go back and tell you Battalion Commander Zhang, and say that the artillery support will be delivered within half an hour, and let him persevere!" Hu Jiaji immediately agreed to Zhang Tianhai's artillery support.

"Yes!" The battalion of soldiers responded and ran back.

"Tuanzuo, you promised this matter so quickly, aren't you afraid that the artillery battalion won't be able to support you?" Gu Xinheng asked worriedly.

"Fart, his mother's [-]th regiment needs artillery support, their artillery battalion is free, my [-]th regiment has won two lines of defense, he is not free?" Hu Jiaji snorted coldly, to the signal soldiers behind him Said: "Power on the division immediately and ask for artillery support!"

"Yes!" The communication soldier responded, and then took out the wireless communication equipment.

In the 36th Division, 87th Division, and 88th Division, the three best-adjusted and highest-level German mechanization divisions, there must be a radio communication platoon equipped with a [-]-watt radio station in the division-level communication battalion system. , and there is a wireless communication class equipped with a [-]-watt radio station in the regiment headquarters to ensure smooth communication at the division and regiment levels.

To be honest, when I received a telegram requesting artillery support from the [-]th Regiment, the division commander Song Xilian never expected that the [-]th Regiment would break through the enemy's two heavily guarded lines as soon as it went to the front line. Since it was Hu Jiaji The request, he immediately agreed without thinking.

After hanging up the communication, Song Xilian directly connected the communication of the artillery battalion, and ordered the artillery battalion to immediately send two artillery companies to cooperate with the [-]th regiment to launch artillery bombardment on the enemy forces in Shajing Port, and strive to win Shajing Port as soon as possible!
After receiving the order of the division, the battalion commander of the division's artillery battalion immediately dispatched two artillery companies under his command to support the [-]th Regiment.

With the support of the teachers, everything went very smoothly.

At this moment, a piece of good news reached Zhang Tianhai's ears: Xu Sangou didn't die, but he was shot twice and slightly injured.

Yes, that's right, it was a minor injury. Fortunately, the guns used by the Japanese army were small-caliber 36 guns. After the bullet penetrated the human body, it would only leave a small wound. If it was a Mauser 1924 gun used by the [-]th Division If he is hit by a Japanese rifle bullet, he must be immortal and half his life will be lost.

You know, this German-made 1924 Mauser rifle is the predecessor of the Mauser 98K that everyone often hears about. In terms of power, there is no doubt about it.
