May 27, 1935, the 24th year of the Republic of China.
After receiving the support of the heavy artillery brigade, Koiso Kuniaki officially launched the attack on Longmen Station. As soon as the battle started, the two sides immediately became red-blooded, and the battle was extremely tragic.
"Third Battalion Commander, how's the fight going at your place?"
"Tuanzuo, the little devil is like crazy. He has been attacking with all his strength since early in the morning. Tuanzuo, can you ask the howitzer regiment to give us some artillery support, even if it is only ten minutes?"
"There will be no artillery support even for a minute. The artillery regiment is currently fighting the Japanese heavy artillery brigade in darkness. There will be no time to support us. You can only rely on yourselves now."
Zeng Li'an put down the phone with a "pop", sighed and asked the staff officer next to him, "How is the situation of the fifth regiment?"
"Like us, it's not good." The young staff officer shook his head. "Since this morning, Koiso Kuniaki has been frantically sending two regiments to launch indiscriminate attacks on our two regiments. We are under great pressure.
It’s very big.”
"Any new instructions from the headquarters? When will the reinforcements arrive?"
"No, the commander-in-chief just told us to wait patiently."
Position of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 5th Regiment
Zhao Quanyou was leaning in the trench with a Somi submachine gun, breathing heavily. Their company had just repelled the Japanese army's third charge.
He picked up the kettle and shook it, "Zhuzhu, do you still have water?"
"Company commander, here" a kettle was handed over. Zhao Quanyou took the kettle and took a long drink before burping with satisfaction.
"Er Gouzi, for a while, you are going to attack the Japs with grenade launchers. Damn that little Japs grenade launcher is so annoying." Zhao Quanyou gritted his teeth in hatred when talking about the grenade launchers of the Japanese army.
The grenade can be said to be a major feature of the Japanese army. Its main features are a large shooting angle, a curved trajectory, and a short range. It is mainly used to kill enemies hiding behind fortifications and concealments or to kill enemy forces at long distances.
It has a good killing effect and is easy to operate. It can be carried by an individual soldier and move with the front-line infantry to support the front-line infantry. Since it can be carried by an individual soldier and can be fired concealed behind obstacles, its concealment is very strong.
An experienced veteran can achieve an astonishing hit rate of over 85% within a distance of 400 meters. This morning, more than 20 brothers in Zhao Quanyou's company were hit by Japanese grenades.
Killed and wounded.
However, the little Japs didn't get any advantage, and the four mg34 machine guns in the company were not ordinary either. The rain of bullets hit the little Japs so hard that he couldn't even raise his head.
The 46th Regiment Headquarters of the Japanese Army
Colonel Fujii Takeru, the commander of the regiment, was staring at the map in a daze. This morning, his regiment had launched three attacks on the opposite China Army positions, but was driven back each time. The firepower of the Chinese Army infantry on the opposite side was too strong.
, the warriors of the empire can't even rush within a hundred meters of each other. The soldiers call that distance the call of death. Once the imperial army enters that distance, they will attract the opponents who are armed with portable machine guns and Somi submachine guns.
The soldiers could not even raise their heads and would be in a dilemma. The regiment lost more than 200 outstanding soldiers this morning.
Colonel Fujii Ken is also a veteran who participated in the Manchuria Incident and the Great Wall Battle. He also fought many battles with the Central Army and the local army of the China Government. He has never seen such powerful firepower.
The army. The chief of staff of the division had called twice to inquire about the situation of the battle. This made Colonel Fujii feel ashamed. He had ordered the 1st Infantry Battalion to launch another attack in the afternoon and be sure to capture the hilltop opposite.
Koiso Kuniaki stood in a hidden observation point and coldly told the chief of staff: "Order the 46th Regiment to take down the 5th Regiment position on No. 3 Highland this afternoon, and I will order the Heavy Artillery Regiment to cooperate with them in launching an attack."
, if we can’t win the position today, I don’t mind letting the 49th Regiment attack in their place.”
"Hi" the chief of staff bowed and turned to leave.
After receiving a call from the Chief of Staff, Colonel Fujii Ken was anxious. The Hokkaido fellow who was the Chief of Staff on the phone just now kindly reminded Colonel Fujii that the division commander had doubts about the combat effectiveness of the 46th Regiment and planned to let the four
The 19th Regiment came to take his place in the attack. This was something that Colonel Fujii Takeru, who was planning to sprint for the throne of brigade commander, could not tolerate.
"Kill me..." Furious, Colonel Fujii Kenji began to go to the front line to personally supervise the battle regardless of the casualties of his troops.
Facing the Japanese army's crazy attack regardless of casualties, the pressure on the Fifth Regiment increased. Facing calls from everywhere requesting artillery support, the artillery battalion of the Fifth Regiment was also very busy.
"No, the reserve team cannot move. Let me tell you, Gao Heizi, if you dare to lose an inch of your position today, don't blame me for not turning against you."
"How is the situation in the first battalion?" Wang Li put down the call for help from the second battalion and turned around to ask the chief of staff next to him.
"The first battalion is in good condition. So far they have repelled five Japanese charges today."
"It will be dark in three hours, and we will adjust our deployment then."
"The Third Battalion is very tight. Do you want to send a reserve team to support them?" the chief of staff asked after hesitation.
"The reserve team cannot be sent out. Today is the first day and the reserve team has been sent out. How can we fight the subsequent battles?"
4:30 p.m.
"Company commander, the little devil is here again." The pillar covered in mud pointed forward and shouted.
"What are you yelling about? I can see it." Zhao Quanyou spat out the grass roots in his mouth and glared at Zhu Zhu, "Brothers, the devils are here, ready to fuck this guy."
"Xiao Shandong, your machine gun is responsible for suppressing the Japanese Type 92. Qian Xiaoxiao, your machine gun should pay attention to the Japanese grenades. Keep your spirits up. It will be dark in a few hours, everyone.
Don't let me offend you at this time." Now there are only two machine guns left in the company. The suppressive firepower has been greatly weakened. We can't be careless. If the Japs take the opportunity to rush up, they will kill the entire company with the level of a little Jaap fighting with a bayonet.
Explain here.
"Hit!" Following Zhao Quanyou's order, tongues of fire began to pour out from the second company's position again.
It was getting dark, and both sides, exhausted from the fight, stopped firing in unison. Only the flares fired from time to time by the defenders illuminated the middle position.
After dinner, Wang Li called Zeng Li'an to discuss the defense issues at the joint between the two parties, and then sat on a rock and smoked.
To be honest, the various troops in the Longmen Institute are not under each other, and there is no unified command structure. Operations all rely on mutual consultation, which is really a taboo for military strategists. Wang Li believes that the commander-in-chief will not fail to see this, but when it comes
We haven't sent anyone to lead the troops in the Longmensuo area yet. This makes people think wildly.
Suddenly, Wang Li, who was deep in thought, noticed countless shining lights coming from the front, and a long, dragon-like motorcade with no tail that could not be seen drove over from behind. Waves of cheers rang out from the Black Tiger Army's position, and Wang Li, who was thinking wildly,
He threw away the cigarette butt and smiled to himself. It seemed that he no longer had to think about this problem.
