my bright sword career

Chapter 357
It stands to reason that, as the defensive side, the Liantai militia also deployed a lot of barbed wire cans and anti-infantry mines before the war, but the battles these days are too fierce, and the positions are ravaged by countless shells every day. Barbed wire and anti-personnel mines have long since been blown away.

In this case, if you want to go out to deploy barbed wire or lay mines during the day, you will die. This is why the 215th Wing can approach the front of the position so quickly tonight.

The fourth battalion responsible for the frontier defense of the position was one to four in number with the Japanese army. The middle section and the right wing were defended by the second and third companies, while the left wing was defended by the first company commanded by the battalion commander Nong Tiancai.

When Nong Tiancai saw the red night attack flare rising from the sky and a burst of mortar fire following the Japanese army, dozens of mortar shells fell on the entire position in an instant.

Although these mortar shells were not very accurate, Nong Tiancai was sure that this was a night attack by a large Japanese army, not a small-scale harassment infiltration. The target must be the bunkers behind him. He took it without hesitation. He picked up the walkie-talkie and yelled.

"Battery... I need flares, 3-1-0, 6-4-16..." As soon as he put down the phone, Nong Tiancai picked up his submachine gun and fired at the front of the position.

"Tong...Tong..."

Flare bombs exploded over the high ground one by one. The blazing white light made the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion unable to open their eyes for a while, but it also allowed them to clearly see the situation in front of the position. Groups of densely packed Japanese soldiers were rushing Rushing towards the position, there are as many people as ants.

The night attacking Japanese army charged wildly under the cover of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns of their own side, but the dense bullet rain composed of nine MG9 machine guns and three M42 Browning heavy machine guns on the fourth battalion's position was like a death scythe. The Japanese army was torn to pieces one by one, and the sneak attack of the Japanese army turned into a storm in an instant.

On the ground, Nong Tiancai was talking to the other two wings one by one to determine their situation. At this time, the entire defense line of the Fourth Battalion was attacked by the Japanese army.

After talking on the phone with each position, Nong Tiancai then called Gao Hongming and asked the regiment headquarters for support.

"Tuan Zuo, the situation here is quite urgent. The devils have gone crazy now, and they have launched an offensive at least at the level of the regiment. We are all enemies in front of our position, so densely packed that we can't count them." At this time, the fourth battalion position has completely Surrounded, like an isolated island, it is under the attack of the Japanese army.

"I don't care how many people are in front of you. Your position is the core of our defense line. You must not lose it. If the position is gone, I will shoot you, understand?"

"Tuan Zuo, I need artillery support now, the more the better! If the First Artillery Battalion can be transferred to us, I promise to hold the position firmly!"

"impossible!"

Gao Hongming's voice came out from the microphone, "Now not only you, Guojialing and Gaojiazhuang are all under attack, especially Guojialing is under more pressure than us, you must know that what they are facing is two divisions. pressure, so I can only assign the third company of the Second Pao Battalion to you, understand?"

"Understood, promise to complete the task!"

Nong Tiancai put down the microphone and was about to give an order, but saw two soldiers scrambling to retreat. Obviously, these people were frightened.

Seeing this scene, Nong Tiancai was furious, ignoring the bullets and mortar fragments flying overhead, jumped out of the foxhole, rushed to catch the two, and pushed them back to the position. People, he was so angry that he took out his pistol and was about to shoot them on the spot, but in the end he held back, he gave the two of them a kick and roared angrily.

"It's a man who wants to go up for me, but you guys are worthless, and I will kill anyone who dares to run away again.

Platoon Leader Zhang, take a squad and stand behind with a machine gun. Anyone who dares to escape without permission will be punished on the spot.Count the number of people after the battle, and report those who escaped as deserters immediately, and the messengers, immediately notify the artillery, I want them to mark the direction before the shelling! "

He recognized these two people, these two were recruits who had just been recruited yesterday, also known as supplementary soldiers.

Let me tell you here that in addition to the five infantry battalions, the Liantai militia also has a supplementary battalion. As the name suggests, it is dedicated to blood transfusions for each battalion to fill the gap lost in battle.

It stands to reason that the supplementary battalion has nearly 800 soldiers, which is enough to consume the usual battle damage, but this time the casualties of the troops are too large, and the supplementary battalion can no longer be replenished. We can only start urgently recruiting soldiers, and these two soldiers are The two new recruits who had just joined the army had been sent in less than a month before they even finished basic training.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Nong Tiancai did not shoot them, otherwise the battlefield discipline would have been enforced long ago.

"Swoosh...swoosh..."

With a burst of shells from the rear, the Japanese army's crazy charge was quickly suppressed, but in less than 10 minutes, the Japanese army launched another charge.

This time, the Japanese army first released smoke bombs, and then shouted in Chinese as they rushed, "Gas bomb attack, Chinese soldiers, you die!" The purpose of the Japanese army is very simple, which is to use this method to disrupt the morale of the Chinese defenders.

In the smog and confusion, it was impossible to keep in touch with the company.Nong Tiancai still did not order to retreat, and there was even a group of bunkers behind him. Once the Japanese army was pasted under the group of bunkers in the dark, the Japanese army could use explosives to name the bunkers one by one, and the entire defense line would collapse.

The Japanese army charging under the rain of dense bullets rushed forward on the dead bodies of their own people, although the speed was not fast but extremely resolute, and they did not stop due to machine gun fire and constant grenade and mortar bombardment.

On the fourth battalion position, the artillery battalion's counterattack blocked the craziest charge of the Japanese army. One after another, 60mm howitzer shells, 82mm and [-]mm mortar shells continued to explode in the charging Japanese army.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Nong Tiancai, whose voice had become hoarse, picked up the phone and reported to the regiment headquarters.

"Tuan Zuo don't worry, we can stand it!"

Nong Tiancai who said this seemed very angry. During the two hours of fighting just now, deserters had appeared several times in the Fourth Battalion. what consequences.

As soon as Nong Tiancai put down the phone, he saw three Japanese soldiers coming back in his direction, howling "Banzai!", one of the officers was waving a command knife, and he quickly raised the buckle of his MP40 submachine gun The trigger was pulled, and with the flames from the muzzle of the submachine gun, the three Japanese soldiers were all thrown down in front of the position.

The battle lasted until 50:215 in the morning, and the [-]th Wing finally couldn't hold on any longer. The leader of the [-]th Wing, Yagi Shigeru, led hundreds of remnants and turned to the right. Yagi Shigeru hoped to find fighters in that direction.
