War of Resistance

Chapter 629 The Battle of Yangzhuang ([-])

The grenade is not necessarily rare for others, but Zhang Tianhai is very rare. The grenade has the advantages of lightness, strong mobility, and quick support firepower, but it is completely in line with the operations of special forces. Request.

It's just a pity for Zhang Tianhai that the number of grenade launchers owned by the Zhiyi regiment is still limited, otherwise they can be distributed to company-level units, or even class units, and then engage in a firepower in the platoon Intensive classes.

In that way, thinking about it makes me feel flattered.

Unfortunately, this condition has not been realized so far!

Ever since, Zhang Tianhai could only watch this scene quietly through the telescope.

The Japanese army's firepower was so fierce, didn't Zhang Tianhai feel a little bit of psychological pressure?Wrong, not only did Zhang Tianhai have one, but he was also very big!

Although the small shells of those grenades are not very powerful, once they are used in combination, they are quite ferocious.

The most typical example is the Gatyusha rocket launcher, which is composed of some rocket launchers whose lethal effect is not as great as the howitzer, and relies on density to gain an advantage.

Just when Zhang Tianhai was still worried about Li Zhan's third company of the Fourth Battalion, an unexpected situation occurred——

A telecommunications staff officer ran to Zhang Tianhai's side and reported: "Reporting to the regiment, Li Bifan's No. 20 Third Division of the Eighth Army is stationed in Heze. Director Gu sent a telegram asking whether our troops will withdraw from Heze?"

"Has the troops of Huang Jie's Eighth Army stationed in Heze?" Zhang Tianhai frowned and asked, since he has been busy here for the past few days with the deployment of the Yangzhuang battle, the work of the regiment headquarters has been handed over to Zhou Fangjie and Guo Qiliang. It's been dealt with, and there are some things that he doesn't know very clearly.

"Yes, group seat." The telecommunications staff replied.

"Call back, Regiment Headquarters, ask Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou and Chief of Staff Guo, ask them what's going on, why haven't I received this news?" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, this is not a trivial matter, this matter Military changes that matter to the overall situation!
"Yes, group seat!" The telecommunications staff responded.

For Zhang Tianhai, the occurrence of this accident is definitely a good thing, because there is a division of troops to wrap up their surprise attack again!
However, from the perspective of the overall situation, it is an extremely bad thing-Huang Jie's Eighth Army was transferred to the front line of Luxi a few days ago, but now it is about to withdraw to defend Heze.

This shows what?This shows that the situation ahead is getting more and more dangerous, and it is very likely that the Japanese outflanking troops in the north of Xuzhou are already coming!

Judging from the current situation, Zhiyituan is safe for the time being, but for Li Bifan's No.20 Third Division, it is definitely very dangerous.

The troops of the No.14 Division of the Japanese Army had already crossed the river, and Heze's back road was cut off. In addition, Heze was facing the enemy again, so Heze has truly become an isolated city!

A lonely city!
Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and Zhang Tianhai said to Wang Liang, the adjutant beside him: "Adjutant Wang, send me an order to let the telecommunications department immediately report that a regiment of main troops is blocking the enemy from crossing the river by the Yellow River." Report to the military headquarters! Also, copy to the headquarters of the First Corps!"

"Yes, Tuan Zuo!" Wang Liang responded, and then hurried to work.

Looking at the battle below Yangzhuang, it became more and more fierce. After a short pause, the Japanese army immediately launched a very powerful firepower counterattack.

The ferocious firepower beat the troops of the [-]th Battalion and [-]rd Company of the Zhiyi Regiment to the point where they could hardly hold their heads up.

For a moment, the front position of the third company was full of dust and bullets!

"Company commander, the platoon leaders on the two wings each sent two squads to support!" A soldier ran to Li Zhan's side and reported.

"Very good, let them go into battle immediately!" Li Chan shouted loudly, if this continues, the position will be broken by the Japanese army in less than 10 minutes!
As soon as Li Chan's words fell, a soldier next to him fell down, and there was already a hole in his helmet. Obviously, he was hit in the head by a bullet from the Japanese army!

After the soldier fell, a stream of blood flowed slowly from his forehead immediately. It seemed that he had died a heroic martyrdom, but Li Zhan couldn't care who the sacrifice was—what he had to do , That is, even if you sacrifice your own life, you have to go on top for another 10 minutes.

But it happened that this short period of 10 to [-] minutes, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the third company, was such a torment!
After receiving the support of the officers and soldiers of the four squads, the pressure on the frontal battlefield was relieved immediately, and at least they could counterattack in terms of firepower, unlike just now, they were just passively beaten.

More than a hundred guns, eight light machine guns stretched out their long tongues of flame, and there were even counterattacks from grenadier shells one after another—obviously, Li Zhan had already sent the most precious fire support team in the company Also use it.

With grenadiers and several light machine guns to counterattack, the situation of being passively beaten was finally reversed.

Due to the cover of the bunker, the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Battalion and [-]rd Company of the Zhiyi Regiment were not directly exposed to the enemy's firepower for the first time, and the casualties were still under control.

However, the Japanese army without the cover of the bunker suffered disaster...

"Report to your Excellency, Captain, there are heavy casualties ahead, should we stop the attack!" A Japanese soldier ran to Akisaku Shimamori, stood at attention and bowed his head.

"Let the troops continue to launch more violent attacks! Try to take down Yangzhuang!" Akisaku Shimamori said coldly.

"But..." The combat staff officer of the Japanese army hesitated for a moment.

"What do you know?! The most taboo thing in commanding troops is to go all out, then decline, and then exhaust! Execute immediately!!" Akisaku Shimamori scolded the staff officer in front of him who didn't know how to follow the commander's order immediately.

"Hay!!" After being scolded angrily by the captain, the staff officer finally responded as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then hurried to carry out the order.

"Captain, the Chinese army in front of me looks like an elite army of the Chinese army. How can other Chinese troops have such powerful firepower?" said a squadron leader next to Akisaku Shimamori.

"It's true what you said is very reasonable. The Chinese army in front of us is the most elite Chinese Central Army, and it is the elite of the Central Army!" Akisaku Shimamori nodded, and he didn't know that he seemed to have met A hard nail, but this nail must be pulled out!
Although this nail is small, it means that this is the No.20 Eighth Brigade's first victory since crossing the Yellow River.

It's just a pity that Shimamori Mingsaku felt that the artillery units in the rear did not keep up - if the artillery units followed up, they would not face the current situation of equal firepower, and even the Japanese army ate it. Some small losses.

As for these small losses, it is natural to suffer from the loss of not having a bunker.

If there were bunkers, they wouldn't be as passive as they are now.It would be better if there were artillery to suppress directly.

Don't think that the Japanese army can't be killed. They will also suffer when they have no bunkers and artillery support——

Because the firepower of their light weapons is not as powerful as imagined, but most of the national army troops they face are not strong in combat effectiveness, and the weapons and equipment of the troops are not considered good. the troops.

If there is no artillery support, let them and the German armorers before the start of the Anti-Japanese War prove to have a tough battle against personnel?See if they are made of iron?

In many cases, it is not that the enemy is too strong, but that we are too weak, nothing more.
