War of Resistance

Chapter 997 The Battle of Nantianpu ([-])

Half an hour later, the headquarters of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater of the National Army was ready as scheduled, and was about to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army.

"The first artillery company, the second company, the third company and the heavy artillery platoon, get ready now!!" Standing at the forefront of the team, Zhao Chengge was full of spirit, and he wanted to pour this burst of artillery fire on the heads of the Japanese army!

Following Zhao Chengge's order, the officers and soldiers of the Artillery Battalion moved uncommonly fast, and soon got ready for artillery fire.

This time, Zhao Chengge was more determined than ever.

"Listen, all artillery units, quick-fire five rounds, get ready!!" Zhao Chengge held a big flag and kept waving it, almost waving it down.

Seeing that the artillery unit was almost ready, Zhao Chengge waved down the flag suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Fire the artillery!!!"

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

……

The first round of artillery salvo, fourteen artillery shells fired at the same time, fourteen shells pierced the sky, and slammed down on the ground in Nantianpu, a burst of bricks, stones and broken tiles splashed.

The house collapsed, and a thick smoke rose from the village. If you got close, you could hear a scream.

You know, this is just a small village built on the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, not a big town, not to mention that Tanaka Shengdao has deployed a large number of troops to deploy defenses here, and this situation is normal.

At the same time as the sound of the guns sounded, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion and the fifth battalion of the first guard regiment immediately marched to the front.
Nantianpushang, the headquarters of the captain of the Tanaka Holy Way Alliance.

Facing the bombardment at the headquarters, Tanaka Shengdao couldn't get angry in one place: "This group of damned Chinese troops! They treated our imperial army like this! They even bombarded us with cannons! When did we suffer? This kind of grievance!!"

The people around saw that Tanaka Shengdao was angry, but they didn't dare to go forward to persuade him, because they knew that Captain Tanaka was angry, and if he tried to persuade him at this time, he would definitely get slapped in the face.

Little devils do a good job of being slapped, but it doesn't mean they like being slapped. They are cheap, but it doesn't mean they like being cheap...

However, at this moment, an accident happened...

A round of [-] heavy artillery shells slammed into the room, making a violent explosion sound, and the whole bluestone brick house collapsed immediately.

Many Japanese officers hanged up without the sound of their dying cry, and even the dog-skin plaster flag hanging in the yard fell for it.

"Sir!!!"

The surrounding Japanese soldiers began to react, and they also knew that the command post was destroyed by the enemy. What was the consequence? They had to go and see if anyone was still alive in the yard!

Seeing this situation, the surrounding Japanese soldiers could no longer care about other things, and hurried forward to scrape away these blue bricks and rubble.

Outside the village, the charge of the national army officers and soldiers has already begun.

With the cover of an artillery battalion, a small artillery company, and two battalion-level machine gun companies with heavy machine guns, in general, their charge was relatively smooth—at least they were not intercepted by the high-intensity Japanese firepower, and the Japanese firepower suppressed them. Even sparse.

In fact, it was not that the Japanese army did not want to carry out high-intensity suppression, but because of.The firepower on the opposite side was too fierce, especially when the shells of the machine gun hit the wall, there were almost big round holes, and even the wall was directly penetrated.

Even some Japanese soldiers were torn apart after being hit by small shells from machine guns.

"Warriors! Everyone has to hold on! Otherwise, none of us will be able to survive after the Chinese army on the opposite side rushes over!!" The grassroots officers of the Japanese army were shouting. There is really no help!

You know, in addition to these heavy machine guns and machine guns, the officers and soldiers of the first guard regiment are equipped with a large number of light machine guns. These light machine guns alone are enough for the Japanese army on the opposite side to drink a pot.

That scene was really a hail of bullets, and the breath of death was everywhere.

"Advance another 50 meters, and set up mortars immediately!!" The commander of the mortar company of the regiment headquarters shouted, and the officers and soldiers around him could hear his voice clearly.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this battle at Nantianpu, Zhang Tianhai threw in even his old background, he had to use the strength of a lion to fight a rabbit, and he would win with one blow!
Since the headquarters of Tanaka Shengdao had been bombarded by the shells of the [-] heavy artillery, a trace of disorder inevitably appeared in the command system of the Japanese army.

"Captain Ida Squadron, now the headquarters of Captain Tanaka Sacred Way Alliance has been bombarded by the shells of the Chinese Army. What should we do now? We all follow your command, what do you think we should do?!" A Japanese soldier The soldier ran over and asked the squadron leader Ida Shikaji.

Ida Shikaji was obviously a little panicked by the sudden change in front of him, but he quickly calmed down: "Mobilize the [-] support troops into the village immediately! This is the death order received by the regiment leader! If we say, the [-] If the officers and soldiers don't obey the order, they will say it was the order of Captain Tanaka!"

"Hay!!" The Japanese soldier responded.

100 meters...

90 meters...

80 meters...

When it was 70 meters, the commanders of the Japanese army finally couldn't help showing their fangs.

"shooting!!!"

The Japanese commander held his samurai sword high, and nearly fifty Japanese soldiers immediately appeared.

These Japanese soldiers were either holding [-] big covers, or holding light machine guns, or rushed to the position of heavy machine guns, and then launched a counterattack against the national army.

On the contrary, when they counterattacked, the powerful firepower caused them to fall a dozen people, and the powerful firepower made them unable to lift their heads.

But after all, there are times when a blind cat meets a dead mouse, not to mention that the Japanese army's marksmanship is very accurate, let alone they are on the defensive.

Standing on the defensive is already extremely advantageous.

Ever since, in the first wave of counterattack, more than a dozen people from the national army fell down.

Of course, after the officers and soldiers of the first police regiment were injured and fell down, their teammates followed behind. They must take the village in front of them. This is the death order of the regiment and battalion commanders!
The next moment, a mortar shell shot across the sky, and then slammed into the forward position of the Japanese army.

It has to be said that the firepower coverage of the national army was so strong that the Japanese army finally couldn't withstand the pressure of the frontline positions and began to retreat slowly.

On the other side, the Japanese army's support troops finally received the order to enter the village, and they wanted to carry out the last order of the leader of the Tanaka Sacred Way Alliance—to stick to Nantianpu!
For a time, the crowd was raging, and the decisive battle had already begun!

Looking at the scene in front of him through the binoculars, Zhang Tianhai also knew that it would be absolutely wrong to continue fighting like this!
"These little devils seem to want us to fight hand-to-hand with them. We are disadvantaged in firepower, so we fight hand-to-hand? Good idea!" Zhang Tianhai cursed fiercely.
