Chapter 516 Defeat Them
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the 23rd Regiment is almost overwhelmed. Let's quickly send the 24th Regiment to reinforce it?"

Naturally, the embarrassment of the 23rd regiment could not be concealed from the commander of the 36th brigade, Major General Ushishima Man, who was in command behind.

But in the face of the chief of staff's request, he was rarely silent.

He was silent for a while before he said: "The 24th Regiment originally had a lot of casualties, but now there are only more than 2000 people at full strength. If we fail to save people, our defense line will collapse. How can we explain to His Excellency the division commander? "

"But if you don't rescue the 23rd company now, wait until they are wiped out. Can the remaining 24th company hold the line of defense?" the chief of staff asked.

"But at least we can last a little longer."

"But that's just delaying the defeat a little bit." The chief of staff's voice became much louder.

Seeing the agitated chief of staff, Man Ushido grabbed his arm, pointed at the soldiers shivering in the rain, and said angrily.

"We don't have anti-tank weapons, we don't have explosives, and we don't even have many grenades. If we let them go up now, it's not rescue, but death!"

Looking at the excited Ushijima, the chief of staff didn't know what to say.

It was pouring rain, and most of the ammunition originally stored in the ammunition depot was soaked by the rain. It can be said that this heavy rain reduced the combat effectiveness of the 36th Brigade by at least half.

"Report to the Division Headquarters, please make a decision, Your Excellency the Division Commander." After thinking for a while, Ushidoman quickly made a decision.

"kill……"

In the heavy rain, gunfire resounded everywhere.

As the armored battalions came ashore one after another and consolidated their positions on the north bank of the Weihe River, Li Yunlong led the independent regiment to the north bank one after another through the pontoon bridge.

Li Yunlong, who was holding a box cannon in his hand, wiped a handful of rainwater, and said to Zhao Gang next to him.

"The weather like Lao Zhao's is not easy to fight."

Zhao Gang said, "It's not easy for us to fight, and it's also not easy for the devils. Didn't you hear what the brothers in the armored battalion told us? The devil's fortifications are all soaked in water. It is estimated that the ammunition depot has also suffered. Otherwise, according to the virtue of the devils, they would have dispatched a volunteer team carrying explosives to blow up the tanks."

Li Yunlong laughed, "That's reasonable, it seems that God is on our side too.

Order the trumpeter to blow the charge, let the troops keep up with the tanks in front, and must take the devil's position in the shortest time. "

"Tick tock tock tock."

In the sky-filled charge, the independent regiment launched an attack on the Japanese 23rd Regiment from all directions with a company as a unit.

The 23rd Regiment, which had lost its position, was powerless to resist. It could only be passively divided into pieces, and then surrounded and eaten by the independent regiment and the armored battalion.

Ushijima paid the price for his hesitation. The first line of defense in charge of the 36th brigade was already in jeopardy under the attacks of the armored battalion and the independent regiment.

"boom……"

A grenadier shell exploded next to Zhang Dabiao, and the huge explosion made Zhang Dabiao's ears buzzing.

Although he was not injured, Zhang Dabiao's whole body was splashed with muddy water and turned into clay figurines.

He was so angry that he turned his head and shouted to the artillery platoon leader behind him: "Zhuzi, you are so fucking blind, didn't you see the devil's grenadier in front of you? Hurry up and kill him."

Wang Chengzhu felt aggrieved, "Battle Commander Zhang, you can't blame me for this. It's raining so hard now that it's impossible to fire the cannon."

Only then did Zhang Dabiao remember that the platoon artillery was different from the infantry artillery. This weapon had a high range. Once it rained, the rain would easily pour in from the muzzle, causing the shells to fail to fire, and even endanger the safety of the gunner.

"boom……"

Just when Zhang Dabiao was on fire, a huge explosion was heard on the opposite Japanese position. The Japanese grenadier and two companions were blown into the sky with the explosion. It turned out that a No. 4 tank arrived , By the way, I rewarded the Japanese army with three high-explosive bombs, and took away the devil's grenadier and a heavy machine gun. .

"Machine gun platoon covers, one company and two companies outflank each other from the left and right." Zhang Dabiao has such rich combat experience that he immediately seized this rare opportunity.

The two companies outflanked the past from the left and right sides, while Zhang Dabiao personally led the 3rd company to attack from the front.

But the Japanese army's counterattack was also crazy. Although the positions that the Japanese army had worked so hard to dig were all soaked in water due to the heavy rain, the Japanese army still fought back from various high grounds.

As the rainstorm lasted longer, the land almost turned into a swamp. As the first No. [-] tank sank into the mud, more and more tanks followed in its footsteps. In the end, even the Lynx, which was only more than ten tons, Light tanks can't run anymore.

The first company commander found Zhang Dabiao, "The battalion commander is raining too much. All our tanks are lying on the ground. Can we stop and wait for the rain to stop before attacking?"

"Absolutely not."

Zhang Dabiao said categorically, "God is fair, we have difficulties, so why not the devils?
Besides, the commander's order is to let us break through the devil's first line of defense at all costs. Even if our battalion is completely wiped out, we have to complete the task assigned by the commander. Do you understand? "

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed."

The torrential rain was still falling, the sky was getting darker, and the visibility was even less than 20 meters. Soldiers from both sides fought face to face.

The battle suddenly fell into the cruelest stage. Fighting in this environment, the video competition between the two sides is not about who's marksmanship is accurate or who has the most people.

It's about who has more firepower and who can detect the enemy earlier?

"Hurry up and keep up."

Until now, the soldiers on both sides have exhausted their physical strength. Even Zhang Dabiao, who is as strong as Zhang Dabiao, is still out of breath. The leather shoes under his feet are as heavy as if filled with mercury.

Just as Zhang Dabiao reached a mountain depression, a fiery snake suddenly appeared in front of him.

He yelled without thinking, "Get down!"

"Da da da……"

Accompanied by a burst of gunfire, not far away a soldier who had no time to dodge fell into a pool of blood.

"smoke bomb!"

Accompanied by a few dull explosions, several smoke bombs exploded in front, and several thick smoke surged up.

Taking advantage of the smoke blocking the sight of the Japanese army, several soldiers took the opportunity to touch it and threw two grenades when they were more than 30 meters away from the Japanese army.

"Boom"

The machine gun position was instantly blown up to the sky.

"Come and have a look."

A squad leader led several soldiers to touch it carefully, and they covered alternately as they advanced.

When they came to the machine gun position, they found that all three machine gunners had fallen to the ground. Except for one Japanese soldier lying on the ground, the other two were lying on their backs and motionless.

The squad leader winked at the two soldiers next to him.

The two soldiers raised their rifles and pulled the triggers at the two Japanese soldiers.
