As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there is a desire for comparison.
Since the temporary headquarters was established, hundreds of people suddenly poured into this courtyard of several hundred square meters.
There were so many officers, staff, and security personnel from the Third Army, the Liantai Militia, and the Eighth Route Army. Although everyone didn't say it, they were secretly competing in their hearts.
Among the three parties, the Liantai Militia is recognized as a rich man and has the best weapons and equipment. No one can say anything about this.
But soldiers are also the most dedicated people. If I can’t match your equipment, can’t I do the same in other aspects?
Therefore, these staff officers are always competing secretly these days, and even Tang Huaiyuan, Brigadier Chen, Gao Hongming and others may not have this intention in their hearts.
This time, Gao Hongming originally planned to let the 1st Battalion take the main attack, but when the three of them were discussing, Tang Huaiyuan and Brigadier Chen started to argue over this task.
Tang Huaiyuan's reasons are very good. After these days of air transportation and the daily replenishment of one regiment of troops, Tang Huaiyuan's troops have gradually become abundant. Now, in addition to the 7th Division and the 12th Division, he also has about 100 troops.
About three regiments of reserves.
As the saying goes, if you have food in hand, you won't panic. With seven to eight thousand more troops in hand, Tang Huaiyuan also had the confidence to say that he would attack as the main attack.
But Brigadier Chen was not given in vain. After the Eighth Route Army headquarters learned of their current situation, the deputy commander-in-chief waved his hand and sent him two more regiments through the transfer station in Liantai County. Today, Brigadier Chen holds the
With more than 10,000 troops from six regiments, and the sufficient logistics provided by Gao Hongming, he dared to touch the Xiaosong Mountain held by the 33rd Division.
Moreover, after these days of fighting, Brigadier Chen realized that although the Eighth Route Army's ranks had continued to grow over the years, it still lacked experience in regular large-scale combat, and most importantly, lacked experience in critical battles. This was why he requested that the first wave of offensive be handed over to
The reasons for the Eighth Route Army.
To use its original words at the time, Li Yunlong had been practicing as a soldier for so long, so it was time to put an extra burden on him.
Now, watching the battle from behind, he saw that the Independent Regiment was playing in a orderly manner under the command of Li Yunlong, and his originally tense heart relaxed a little.
"No, the Japanese are starting to counterattack!"
Tang Huaiyuan's exclamation suddenly sounded from the side.
Brigadier Chen, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was shocked and quickly picked up the binoculars to look.
It doesn't matter what it looks like, everyone's heart is tense. From the telescope, we can clearly see that as a red signal flare rises into the sky, countless Japanese soldiers come out of the tunnel and howl like wild beasts in the face of the bullets.
He quickly shook off his steps and jumped down from the mountain toward the Independent Regiment.
The mortars responsible for covering the rear fired continuously, and the shells fell on the position one after another. After the explosion, the flying fragments and debris were mixed together. Driven by the shock wave, they tore apart the fresh flesh and blood.
, the machine gunners of the independent regiment pulled the triggers, and the bullets spewed out from the machine guns rushed into the charging Japanese soldiers. However, the Japanese soldiers turned a blind eye to the explosions and bullets, and howled and charged forward.
"Grenade!"
With a loud shout, hand grenades made in the border area were thrown out by the soldiers of the independent regiment.
Facing the grenades thrown by the soldiers, the Japanese soldiers rushing in front not only showed no fear, but instead rushed towards the grenades that fell on the ground and suppressed the grenades with their own bodies.
"Boom boom..."
The grenades continued to explode, but after being suppressed by the Japanese soldiers, the explosion power was naturally much smaller. The powerful shock waves and shrapnel were all absorbed by the Japanese soldiers.
"Crazy! Crazy!" Looking at the dense Japanese soldiers rushing towards Xiaowu Mountain like madmen, the faces of Tang Huaiyuan, Gao Hongming and the staff who were watching the battle all changed. No one expected that the 33rd Division would be so crazy.
Facing the suicidal charge of the Japanese army, many soldiers' hands were shaking when loading magazines for their rifles. The Japanese walking on the battlefield ignored the hail of bullets around them and rushed over with their rifles, shouting and rushing in front.
Once the Japanese soldiers saw a grenade landing, they would rush over and suppress it under their bodies. Even if a grenade occasionally exploded in mid-air and the cast-iron projectiles continued to sink into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers behind them, it could not stop them from going crazy.
charge.
The machine gunner kept pulling the trigger, trying to use bullets to stop the Japanese soldiers who were roaring and charging like madmen, and emptied ten 20-round magazines in one go.
The red-eyed machine gunner ignored the fact that the barrel of the gun had already turned red, and kept shouting "Magazine! Change the magazine quickly!" While the deputy shooter was changing the drum, the ammunition hand quickly poured a bottle of water onto the red barrel.
Water and water vapor blocked the machine gunner's sight, but there was no need to aim at this time, as long as he fired in the general direction.
Tang Huaiyuan couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Gao Hongming's arm: "Brother Gao, quickly order artillery support... By the way... where is your flying brigade? Hurry up and let the air force provide ground support!"
"Cannot support!"
Gao Hongming said helplessly: "Both sides are mixed together, how can we support them?"
The Japanese army rushed forward and launched a desperate counterattack against the independent regiment without fear of death. Although the independent regiment's mortars, grenades, grenades, rifles, and machine guns continued to harvest lives, they still could not stop them.
The core of the human sea tactic is to use a dense battle formation to charge in waves, continuously impacting the enemy's positions, forming the greatest impact at the fastest speed and in the least time, requiring more soldiers to charge in an instant.
Arrive at the enemy's forward position and complete the initial breakthrough. At the same time, the wave-like uninterrupted attacks will also consume a large amount of the opponent's ammunition and morale, causing endless psychological pressure in the attack, causing the defense line to waver or even collapse.
Everyone knew this. Gao Hongming only thought for a few seconds before grabbing the phone on the table and said, "Fetch me the armored regiment...Li Chang'an? I order you to charge to the Xiaowu Mountain Highlands immediately."
...Yes...as fast as possible!
Regardless of the infantry-tank coordination and casualties, as long as we can rush to the Xiaowu Mountain Highlands and pick up the independent regiment, we will win!"
After putting down the phone, he connected to another unit, "Artillery battalion? I am Gao Hongming. I order you to immediately launch a barrage interception on the Japanese high ground in Xiaowu Mountain. You must phase out the Japanese follow-up troops and not let them follow the front.
Do you understand the pace of the Japanese army?"
Following Gao Hongming's order, artillery shells began to fall on the mountainside of the Xiaowushan position. With loud explosions, the Xiaowushan position began to be shrouded in smoke again.
