Chapter 165 The general attack begins!
On October 6, the head of the Ninth War Zone.
A staff officer hurriedly walked towards Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the First Corps who was looking at the map, with the battle report he had just received: "Sir, the battle report sent by Commander Yu from Zhang Gushan by the 74th Army!"
"Remember!" Xue Yue said in a deep voice.
"The main force of the mountain troops of the 106th Division (about 2,000 infantry) began to attack our Zhanggushan position under the cover of the aviation force yesterday. The 58th Division of the defender almost fought to the death, but in the end, due to the heavy casualties, they were unable to support it. The Japanese army occupied the northern position of Zhanggushan this morning, and our unit is reorganizing a counterattack." The staff officer started to recite with the folder.
After listening to the latest battle situation from the staff report, Xue Yue narrowed his eyes.
"Part of Zhang Gushan was occupied by the Japanese army, and it had little impact on the battle situation. I think, the big fish of the Matsuura Division can be closed now. What about your opinion?" Xue Yue asked Wu Yizhi, the chief of staff beside him.
"It's almost time. The time for encirclement and annihilation of the 106th Japanese Division is now ripe. If you drag it on, you may change." Wu Yizhi nodded.
"Communication Soldier!"
"have!"
"Order! Wu Qiwei, commander-in-chief of the front enemy, commanded Ye Zhao's 66th Army, Ou Zhen's 4th Army, and Yu Jishi's 74th Army surrounded and attacked the Japanese troops in Shibaoshan, Wanjialing, Jianlusu, Changling, and Leiminggu Liu! The specific attack time and arrangements will be decided by Wu Qiwei's camera."
"Order! Li Hanhun, commander-in-chief of the first route, led his troops to defend the existing position, reject the enemy, and feinted the enemy from 14:00 on the 7th, and the camera shifted the attack to the enemy's left back!"
"Order! Chen Pei, deputy commander of the 18th Army, commanded the 60th Division, prepared the 6th Division and the 142nd Division to restrain the enemy from the Yongwu Road, and cover the left back of our army."
Xue Yue gave three orders in a row, and the Chinese army in the Wanjialing area began to operate at full speed.
At 4:00 p.m. on October 6, Wanjialing, on the west side of the 90th Division, the garrison of the Corps directly under the Special Services Battalion.
Qi Heng looked at the platoon leaders sitting neatly in two rows below and cleared his throat: "Everyone is resting, I have good news to tell everyone."
"Is it going to fight?" Hong Liang's eyes lit up.
"Have you paid the military salary?" Peng Xiaoyu murmured.
"Have you eaten meat?" Xu Guanghui straightened his waist.
Qi Heng glanced at the two people who were thinking randomly and continued: "Just just now, General Wu Qiwei, the commander-in-chief of the front, issued an order. At 16 o'clock tomorrow, our army will launch a general attack on the surrounded Japanese 106th Division! At that time, our general will cooperate with the 90th Division of the friendly army to siege the Japanese army in Wanjialing from the east."
As soon as Qi Heng finished speaking, all the platoon leaders below were excited.
The second company commander Shangguan Youhao, who had not participated in the discussions in the past, was the first to speak this time: "Battery Commander, our company can play the main attack!"
The deputy Zhu Gusheng of the Second Company nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, battalion commander, our brothers in the Second Company have long wanted to go up and fight the Japanese! The main attacker is handed over to us. If we can't fight, I will come to see you with the Company Commander Shangguan!"
Shangguan Youhao frowned, but did not refute. It seemed that he was really scared by the soldiers who were eager to fight.
The deputy Hong Liang of the first company was not willing to be outdone and took a step forward: "Battery Commander, our company is a veteran, and there is no problem in playing the main attack! I can fight without the deputy leader of the Cheng Battalion, I can take the team!"
Seeing that the officers of the other two companies expressed their opinions, the third company commander Xu Guanghui could not sit still: "Our third company is not a softie! We asked the Japanese to use poison gas to silence once, and lost more than 30 people. Everyone was thinking about avenging the sacrificed brothers!"
"Battery Commander, our artillery company..."
The artillery company commander Wu Weiguo had just spoken and was immediately criticized by Qi Heng:
"Okay, okay, Wu Weiguo, you don't need to express your opinion. Your artillery company is the treasure of the entire battalion. This time, there is no order from superiors, so you are not allowed to participate in the war!"
"We can be infantry..." Wu Weiguo argued.
"I think beautifully!" Qi Heng refused without hesitation: "You are artillerymen. Now it is harder for me to find a few soldiers who can shoot artillery than for a few young girls. I am afraid of being hurt when I let you fire artillery behind me. Do you still want to take them to the front line as infantry? Stay honestly!"
"This mission is mountain combat, artillery is not easy to unfold, and we don't have many shells, so don't get on Wu Weiguo." Cheng Ge concluded.
"As for who is playing the main attack, I have already made arrangements," Qi Heng looked around everyone, and finally stopped at Shangguan Youhao: "Shangguan, I will lead the team in person this time."
"Battery Commander!" Hong Liang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Cheng Ge waved his hand.
"Everything is done! There is no main attack and assist in this mission. The order I received was to follow the main force of the 90th Division of the friendly army to attack the Japanese Aoki brigade. During the attack, the three companies of our battalion advanced in parallel and supported each other. Deputy Battalion Commander Cheng led the first company to attack from the left wing, and I led the second company to the center. Xu Guanghui's third company was responsible for the right wing, and Wuwei Guo Artillery Company and the battalion headquarters defended the rear, and advanced with the main attacking troops, providing artillery support if necessary." Qi Heng said seriously.
"Before the battle begins, the reconnaissance platoon will use three to five people as a reconnaissance team to investigate the target terrain and the Japanese position in advance. It is best to find out the location of the Japanese main firepower points, but do not force it, and focus on protecting yourself." Cheng Ge also arranged tasks for the reconnaissance platoon.
...
At around 10 a.m. on October 7, all the main attacking troops entered the position and launched a fierce attack on the positions occupied by the Japanese army.
In a low weed, Qi Heng lay on the ground, holding a telescope and carefully observing the movements of the Japanese positions ahead.
Before the attack, Qi Heng was a rare luxury, allowing the Wu Weiguo artillery company's six cannons to fire at the Japanese positions on the mountain. Although each infantry cannon had only three cannons and only fifteen shells were fired, this shelling greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion.
Especially the supplementary soldiers who just joined the secret service camp, they had never seen their own people playing the Japanese artillery style of the infantry after bombing the infantry after bombing. At best, they had used seized grenade launchers and fired a few grenades randomly. However, most of them had been bombarded by the Japanese artillery. No one wanted to experience the scene of firelight soaring into the sky and shrapnel flying around.
This time, when the shells that had originally made me fear and worry fell on the Japanese positions, the thunder roar echoed on the Japanese heads, everyone felt a sense of pleasure. When they saw the fire in the fire, the shock waves of the shells were wrapped in sharp shrapnel tore the bodies of the Japanese soldiers and lifted the Japanese fortifications into the air, some officers and soldiers even shouted excitedly.
