As of October 21, all artillery units deployed by the Chinese garrison have moved to the front line, including the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 16th and Central Training Corps artillery battalions. At 19:00, all artillery fires have been completed.
Prepare.
The artillery of the Chinese defenders is not only small in quantity, but also in terms of quality. Compared with the heavy artillery and naval guns of the Japanese army that often weigh hundreds of millimeters, they can only hide on the battlefield during the day and can only carry out sporadic counterattacks at night. However, in order to cooperate with the infantry counterattack this time
, it can be said that he gave up all his wealth.
There was no light in the dark night, and a cold wind mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood swept across the battlefield. Although the sky had darkened, the Japanese troops from many directions were still attacking and advancing, and the sound of gunfire was fierce.
Rumble!
After completing the artillery preparations, the Chinese defenders' artillery unit launched the attack on time at 19:00. The overwhelming artillery fire swept across the night sky in a graceful arc and flew towards the Japanese plundering position.
The ground was shaking violently, the sound of artillery was rumbling, earth-shaking, and the entire space was agitated. Everyone felt a buzzing in their ears, and the Japanese position in the darkness suddenly fell into a sea of flames.
Some of the surviving veterans shouted excitedly and pounded their fists into the soil. When they saw the overwhelming artillery fire, their faces turned red with excitement. They had been bombarded by the Japanese indiscriminately. This time they could finally
Feeling proud for a moment.
The artillery of the Chinese defenders was hidden everywhere during the day, and could hardly play any role due to the weak scattered firepower. But now the artillery of the Chinese defenders was firing in groups, the scene was vast and magnificent, and many surviving soldiers shed tears of excitement.
The artillery fire continued in the sky, the flames shot up into the sky, and the trajectory of the bullets illuminated the night sky, suppressing the fierce gunfire. The smoke filled the air, making many recruits choke and cough, and the night was full of noise.
The artillery fire continued for about an hour. At 20:00 in the evening, the Chinese infantry responsible for the counterattack began to charge.
The buglers were the first to jump out of the trenches, facing the smoke in the distance, puffing up their chests, raising their trumpets and sounding the horn of attack.
The loud horn sound penetrated the smoke, penetrated the darkness, passed through the mountains and rivers, and drifted into the endless distance.
"Brothers! Kill the Japanese ghosts!" the commander of the Gui Army raised his short gun in his hand and shouted.
"Charge!" The countless densely packed Chinese soldiers hidden in the trenches roared, jumped out of the trenches, and launched a charge towards their respective targets.
There were shouts everywhere, and on the battlefield with a radius of thirty miles, the Chinese army launched a large-scale counterattack for the first time.
All the soldiers of the Gui Army had bayonets hung on their guns, and they were all bright and white. They jumped out of the trenches one by one, resolute and brave, and went straight to the Japanese defense line.
The various assault regiments and assault battalions responsible for cooperating with the Gui army also launched their charge at the same moment as the Gui army charged. In the darkness, the crowds were like waves, rushing towards the Japanese one after another.
Yang Ling also rushed out with the soldiers of the assault regiment. Lao Wangtou, who was holding a saber in his hand, and Wu Jiang, who was holding a bayonet, followed him across the large open cotton field and rushed towards the dark and broken buildings.
.
There were longing figures in the darkness, and everyone was rushing forward with all their strength. There were heavy breathing, heavy footsteps, and the muffled groans of someone tripping.
There were about a thousand Japanese soldiers in Dingjiaqiao. They were stunned by the surprise artillery attack from the Chinese defenders. Before they could react, they heard the roar of mountains and tsunamis, and the killing sounds coming from the darkness.
The flares rose into the sky, reflecting the dark crowd of charging people, and the faces of the Japanese observation posts suddenly turned pale.
Without the screams of the Japanese officers, the Japanese soldiers who reacted immediately rushed to the trenches and pulled the triggers towards the crowd.
Da da da da da da - the Japanese's light and heavy machine guns roared fiercely in the smoke, and the dense machine gun bullets turned into dazzling streams of light in the darkness, hitting the Gui Army soldiers who were charging with their chests puffed out.
The bodies of the Gui soldiers who were charging at the front swayed violently, with transparent holes appearing one after another, scarlet blood splattered out, and then they fell to the ground.
The Gui Army soldiers behind roared and continued to charge over the bodies that fell to the ground. Bullets were chirping in their ears. Countless people were shot and fell to the ground. However, the Gui Army soldiers were like waves in the sea, rushing forward one after another.
forward.
The Japanese's light and heavy machine guns were firing mixed with dense rifles, their grenade launchers and mortars were roaring, and grenades continued to fall into the charging crowd. Many soldiers were blown to the ground and let out heart-rending screams, but the charge
Still going on.
The Japanese machine guns were like death's scythes, dancing wildly in the night, harvesting countless living lives. The whistling bullets hit young soldiers one by one, turning them into corpses on the charge.
Faced with the Japanese machine guns that continuously spit out flames, countless soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. The firepower net created by the Japanese's various cross-fires blocked the way of the charging troops, and they were suppressed in the open cotton field.
Looking at the severely injured Paoze who was screaming on the ground, the Gui soldiers who were so pressed that they could not lift their heads were chewing their teeth. They cursed and roared, and began to pull the bolts of their guns to fight back.
"Grenade, go up and blow up the Japanese machine gun!"
Several Gui soldiers came out with grenades in their hands and rushed towards the Japanese machine gunners.
"Machine gun cover!" the Gui Army battalion commander roared.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-the Japanese machine gunner spotted the rushing Gui soldiers, turned his gun, and the bullets turned into a barrage of death, knocking the rushing Gui soldiers to the ground.
"Go up again!" Seeing the bombardier who rushed towards him being thrown to the ground, the Gui Army battalion commander roared loudly with grief and indignation on his face, and someone else rushed out holding a grenade.
Boom! The Japanese machine gun was finally knocked over by a grenade and misfired. In order to blow up the Japanese machine gun, countless Gui Army soldiers paid their precious lives.
The charge continued. Faced with the fearless charge of the Gui army soldiers, the Japanese soldiers on the periphery could not stop them at all. They mopped down a group of people, but more people rushed up with red eyes.
Yang Ling was also charging. All the Gui soldiers in front of him were dead, and the empty space was empty. Countless light spots in the darkness were hitting him. He rolled forward and fell into the trench with a thud. Only then did he realize that
Already broke into the Japanese defense line.
A Japanese soldier who was lying down in the trench and shooting saw Yang Ling rolling into the trench. He grinned and raised the butt of his gun and smashed it down, hitting Yang Ling's back firmly. The pain almost made Yang Ling shed tears.
Yang Ling endured the severe pain and grabbed the devil's foot, and pulled hard. The devil's center of gravity became unstable and he fell into the mud pit with a thud. Yang Ling grabbed the bayonet in his hand and stabbed it in.
Pfft! The bayonet pierced the Japanese soldier's chest easily. The Japanese soldier struggled hard. Yang Ling twisted his hands hard, and the Japanese soldier's screams suddenly stopped. He pulled out the bayonet and a large stream of warm liquid sprayed onto Yang Ling's face.
Countless Gui soldiers rushed into the Japanese defense line, and the two sides began a hand-to-hand battle. However, this time the Chinese army had the numerical advantage, and the Japanese suffered a disadvantage in the hand-to-hand battle. They were gradually retreating into Dingjiaqiao, preparing to rely on buildings to resist.
