The Japs didn't even make a tentative attack. Under the cover of tanks, armored vehicles and artillery, they launched a fierce attack on the Erniuniangpo position stationed by the 3rd Guard Battalion. The 3rd Battalion and 3rd Company guarding the main position on the road bore the brunt.
Withstood the main offensive pressure of the Japs.
In order to ensure that the main position across the highway was not lost, the commander of the third battalion, Gong Haifeng, personally went down to the third company to take command.
After five minutes of artillery preparations, at least one small group of Japanese soldiers, guided by a Type 97 light tank and two armored vehicles, rushed toward the main position guarded by the three companies. When they were two hundred meters away, they set up
The heavy machine gun platoons on the hillsides on both sides of the road opened fire first, dumping a dense rain of bullets on the enemy's heads.
Unfortunately, the Type 97 light tank and two armored vehicles blocking the front withstood most of the machine gun fire.
Therefore, although the heavy machine gun platoon's firepower was very fierce, it was not able to cause substantial damage to the Japanese infantry that followed. On the contrary, after discovering the heavy machine gun fire points on the hillsides on both sides, the 97 leading the front
The light tank immediately turned around, its muzzle also raised upwards, and fired two shots at the slope.
One of the firepower points directly under the heavy machine gun platoon of the security battalion was immediately destroyed. Not only was the heavy machine gunner killed on the spot, but the Maxim heavy machine gun at that firepower point was also blown into scrap metal. The simple civil fortifications could not stop the direct-fire cannon after all.
Shooting, even a small-caliber direct-fire cannon, is enough to blast simple civil fortifications into rubbish.
Looking at the Maxim heavy machine gun that was blown into pieces, Gong Haifeng was so distressed that he almost bled. These four Maxim heavy machine guns were the precious treasures of their third battalion. The battle had just started, and one of them had already been scrapped. This made
Gong Haifeng felt overwhelmed. It seemed that he had to find a way to kill the Japs tanks first, otherwise the battle would be impossible to fight.
At that moment, Gong Haifeng signaled the other heavy machine gun to stop firing, then turned around and shouted: "Third company commander!"
A horse-faced man rushed over in a hurry and said loudly: "Batalion Commander, I'm here, what's going on?"
Gong Haifeng pointed at the Type 97 light tank in front of him, gritted his teeth and roared: "Find a way to blow up this stupid tank for me."
Is there anything I can do other than blowing it up with grenades or explosives?
"Yes! Blow up this stupid tank!" The third company commander agreed, then turned around and roared loudly, "Qiangzi, give me a five-pound bundle of explosives!"
Wang Qiang is a demolitionist of the Third Company, and he always carries a basket on his back. There are always four bundles of five kilograms of explosives in the basket.
Hearing the roar of the third company commander, Wang Qiang took off the basket on his back and put it in the trench. Then he quickly picked up a bundle of explosives from the basket, and then rushed out of the trench with the explosives in his arms until he rushed out.
After entering the trench, he yelled: "I'll go, company commander. If I die, don't forget to take my quilt back to my mother!"
The third company commander roared angrily: "Qiangzi, come back, come back!"
Wang Qiang turned a deaf ear to it. In fact, he couldn't hear it at all, because all of Wang Qiang's attention had been focused on the Type 97 light tank. Now the only thing left in his whole world was the Type 97 light tank.
Riya has only one thought left, blow it up, blow it up, blow it up!
The Japanese were already aware of the danger. The two accompanying armored vehicles and at least one small group of infantry turned their guns and fired fiercely at Wang Qiang. The dense bullets poured down like raindrops in an instant, dragging streaks in the night sky around Wang Qiang.
The dazzling and bright trajectory looks magnificent.
Wang Qiang roared, holding the explosive package and rushing forward desperately.
At this time, any tactical evasion is redundant, because no matter how much you hide, it is impossible to escape such a dense rain of bullets. The only thing you can do now is to rush forward as much as possible before being shot.
Get close to the Japs' tanks, so that when you are shot and fall down, you won't be too far away. At this time, if you are lucky enough to still have breath, maybe you can roll and die together with the Japs' tanks.
Of course, this possibility is very small.
But no matter how small the possibility is, there is still a glimmer of possibility!
Soon, Wang Qiang was shot and fell. A bunch of bullets penetrated his right chest. His right half of his body instantly lost consciousness. The severe pain made him unable to breathe and even more unable to move. Wang Qiang tried his best to get up.
He came, but his whole body was completely out of control and he couldn't move at all.
Sure enough, it still failed? A wry smile appeared on the corner of Wang Qiang's mouth.
He has always been the stupidest one. He was the stupidest one at home when he was a child. After joining the army, he was also the stupidest one in the company.
During daily training, the company commander often said to him, "Qiangzi, do you know how you will die in the future? You are so stupid!"
Just be stupid, Wang Qiang thought to himself. When he was a child, he was stupid and his mother protected him. After joining the army, he was still stupid and his company commander protected him. His mother and the company commander were the two people he cared about most. For them, he would do anything.
Don't hesitate to die!
Then, Wang Qiang began to feel that his consciousness began to become blurry. Am I going to die soon? When he really faced death, Wang Qiang suddenly discovered that he was not afraid, but felt a little regretful, and really wanted to go back to the world again.
When I go home, I really want to kowtow to my mother again. Mother, my son is not filial, so I will have to fulfill my filial piety to you in my next life.
In a daze, Wang Qiang's mother suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, smiling slightly at him.
However, my mother's figure quickly disappeared and was replaced by a dark iron bastard. The next moment, there were fierce gunshots, explosions, and the squeaking sound of tank tracks rolling forward.
The sound flowed into his ears like a tide, and Wang Qiang miraculously regained consciousness. His left hand and left leg were suddenly able to move.
Wang Qiang was overjoyed and pulled the fuse of the explosive bag. Then he exerted force with his left leg. He held the explosive bag tightly with his left hand and rolled under the tank that had already driven in front of him. In the next moment, a five kilogram yellow explosive bag was released.
There was a violent explosion, and the shock wave generated by the explosion ripped open the thin bottom armor of the Type 97 tank.
"Hadron?!" The third company commander howled like a wild beast.
The next moment, the remaining Maxim heavy machine gun on the hillside on the right opened fire again, and several light machine guns also opened fire at the same time. In an instant, dense bullets violently flew towards the Japanese, losing the cover of the tank.
Two Vickers armored vehicles were no longer enough to completely suppress the machine gun firepower of the third company.
"Hit me, beat me hard, beat me to death!" The third company commander's eyes widened and he roared repeatedly.
The officers and soldiers of the third company also opened fire. Under the dense firepower of the third company, the Japanese team in front finally couldn't stand it any longer. After a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed, the remaining thirty or so Japanese soldiers finally turned around and retreated to cover.
The two Vickers armored vehicles also turned around and withdrew.
The little devil's first attack was disintegrated in this way.
However, before the officers and soldiers of the Third Company could take a breath, the Japs' second attack began again.
This time, the Japs were even more ruthless. They put in two Type 97 light tanks at once, plus two Vickers armored vehicles. Behind the two Vickers armored vehicles, there were at least two squads of Japs infantry following them. Look.
In this posture, the little devil obviously did not intend to get into too much entanglement with the guard camp, and wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.
Seeing the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles rumbling over, the third company commander's eyes suddenly turned red.
Madam, this is the end of the world, you have to fight with these stupid little devils! The next moment, the third company commander turned around and roared: "Instructor, you will take over the command of the third company!"
After roaring, the third company commander picked up a bundle of explosives from the basket and rushed forward with a roar.
The third company commander had just jumped out of the trench when the Japanese discovered it. A machine gun fire net composed of four truck-mounted heavy machine guns immediately covered him. Hundreds of Japanese infantrymen who followed also opened fire. The dense rain of bullets killed them all in one go.
The third company commander fell to the ground. The third company commander slumped to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.
Because the dense rain of bullets had turned the third company commander's chest into a sieve of blood.
"Company Commander?!" Upon seeing this, the instructor who took over the command immediately roared like a trapped animal, "First Platoon Commander, after I die, you will take over the command!" After roaring, the instructor rushed out of the trench and rushed resolutely to
The third company commander who fell to the ground stretched out his hand when passing by the third company commander, and picked up the explosive packet from the third company commander's arms.
The next moment, the Japanese's ferocious firepower net composed of four heavy machine guns and hundreds of three-hundred-and-eight cannons came over again, covering the instructor in one fell swoop. The instructor spun violently.
He fell to the ground. After falling to the ground, he crawled forward for about two meters, and then there was no sound.
Immediately afterwards, a platoon commander also jumped up from the trench: "Second Platoon Commander, the third company is now under your command!"
The next moment, the first platoon leader silently rushed forward. A moment later, the first platoon leader also fell in a pool of blood. Then, the second platoon leader also rushed out of the trench resolutely. In less than five seconds, the second platoon leader
The platoon leader also died heroically, and then the third platoon leader. In less than five minutes, all the commanders above the platoon of the third battalion and the third company were killed!
The battle was not over yet. Then, three deputy platoon leaders and nine squad leaders continued to charge.
Finally, when only one of the nine squad leaders was dead, the two Type 97 light tanks that went into the attack were finally blown up, and one of the two Vickers armored vehicles was also blown to its knees.
About two squads of Japanese infantry were also killed, at least one and a half squads were killed, and the second Japanese attack was repelled again.
At the last line of defense of the third company, Gong Haifeng almost broke his steel teeth.
These, these cadres who died in the battle are all the backbone veterans of the Third Battalion. They are all the backbones! They have been injured. The Third Battalion has really been injured this time!
