my bright sword career

Chapter 442 Attack After Attack

In the trench on the left, more than 2000 and 60 soldiers of the new regiment were lying quietly beside the parapet of the trench, standing on their toes and watching the artillery fire in the distance.

The clusters of flames shining with death and heat were so beautiful in the hearts of the soldiers at this moment, many people even shouted happily while watching.

"Blow them up... Blow up these bastards!"

Ding Wei and Political Commissar Li also stood in the crowd, letting the soldiers shout without any intention of stopping them.

Political Commissar Li even said with some emotion: "What a beautiful and magnificent artillery fire. It is the first time I have discovered that artillery fire is so beautiful and magnificent after fighting for so many years."

Ding Wei rolled his eyes at him, "Come on, if these gunfire were fired by devils, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that."

After speaking, the two laughed at the same time.

This is the problem that the ass decides the head. For the same thing, as long as you look at the problem from a different standpoint, you will come to completely different conclusions.

Then, Ding Wei said again: "Lao Li, don't go up when you charge later, stay here to take care of the wounded, transfer supplies, and coordinate with the Liantai militia."

Political Commissar Li moved his lips, and finally stopped talking. He knew what Ding Wei meant.

Fighting is a very metaphysical thing. You never know if a stray bullet will hit you in the head in the next second. As the highest-ranking commander of the new regiment, the two of them must leave one of them behind to take charge. Command and dispatch to avoid the occurrence of two commanders being killed at the same time.

This is not only responsible for oneself, but also responsible for Xinyituan.

这次的炮击主力由四个炮营进行，其中包括M2型105毫米榴弹炮、M40型155自行火炮和M115型203毫米重型榴弹炮在内共84门火炮组成。

In addition, each battalion is equipped with M1 75mm howitzers, M2 107mm mortars and other types of artillery. In total, there are at least more than 200 artillery pieces firing at the Japanese positions. Flames and smoke filled the Japanese positions, and everything on the positions was shrouded in death.

"Everyone is ready!"

When the bombardment lasted for 25 minutes, the roars of the commanders sounded from all forward positions.

"Go on the bayonet!"

With the orders of the officers in the trenches, more than 1000 soldiers from the first battalion of the new regiment in the trenches and the ninth battalion of the Liantai militia, the two sharp knife battalions that were going to charge first, put bayonets on their rifles one after another. The sound of metal crashing when the bayonet was installed resounded, and all the soldiers were holding their rifles tightly. Every soldier of the Sharp Knife Battalion looked a little anxious and excited, looking up at the breast wall of the trench with anticipation mixed with fear. It was the first time to jump out of this trench and attack the opposite Japanese position.

With the pointer of the watch pointing to 7:30, a sharp whistle sounded at the same time on the position of more than 2000 meters long, and more than 600 soldiers jumped out of the trench at the same time and rushed towards the Japanese position...

"boom……"

A series of shells fell into the position that the Japanese army spent more than half a month building. The violent explosion shock wave blew up the seemingly good trenches into ruins. The mud and smoke raged in the trenches accompanied by steel fragments. The steel fragments were harvested. The shock wave shattered the internal organs of the Japanese soldiers at close range. The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and thick smoke. The Japanese soldiers who survived the artillery fire were choked and coughed loudly.

The soldiers of the 108th Division, who had never experienced such ferocious artillery fire, were terrified by the fierce shelling. They curled up in the trenches with their heads in their arms. They were trembling, coughing, crying, and roaring with all their strength. This will make them roar out of fear, the whole ground is trembling violently, the flying dust and body fragments make the soldiers scream in horror, at this moment, I can no longer find those who are singing The Japanese soldiers who went to fight with Junzhidai, fear has already occupied their whole body and mind.

Suddenly the violent shelling stopped, and for a moment the world seemed to be restored to its former state and tranquility again. The Japanese trenches had been completely destroyed, and only the terrified roars of Japanese soldiers and a large number of wounded soldiers could be heard in the blown-up trenches. Lung-cracking screams.

"Cowards! Cowards! Bastards! Are you still soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire? Look at you, even the geisha in the tea house are braver than you! The Chinese are coming to fight, grab your rifles and load your bayonets , Drive the Chinese people back! Let the Chinese people see the bravery of the imperial army."

The officers wielding command knives in the trenches kicked and beat the trembling soldiers hiding in the collapsed trenches, pulled them up by their collars, pushed them to the edge of the blown-out trenches, and made them aim ahead.

At this time, the Japanese army's position can no longer be called a position, but a bloody hell. The trench system that Xiayuan Xiongmi thought could withstand the attack of the Chinese army for at least half a month has completely changed its appearance. The overturned soil, collapsed trenches, burning log support pillars, broken weapons, scattered ammunition boxes, and blasted barbed wire, this place has completely turned into a hell-like appearance.

And against the background of hell are the corpses and blood that can be seen everywhere. The broken corpse fragments and limbs and arms of the soldiers are all over the entire position. It is almost impossible to find a few complete corpses. Most of the dead soldiers only leave charred remains. limbs or bloody broken arms, and more people left nothing behind. They disappeared completely under 30 minutes of horrific artillery fire. Only a few pieces of cloth or some stumps can prove that they were once in this iron In the fire hell, especially the 117th Wing, which is on the front line, bears the brunt.

The defense line of the 117th regiment has long since disappeared, and no complete trenches can be found. All bunkers and firepower points have been destroyed. No soldier is willing to stay in this iron and fire hell. The entire regiment of 3800 There are less than 1000 soldiers who can still fight at this time, and the rest are either buried in bunkers or torn to pieces by artillery fire.

Even the rest of the people were dull-eyed and lifeless, like zombies who had lost their sanity, just relying on instinct to hide in the trenches and shiver, if the surviving officers hadn't tried their best to drive them away with command knives, they wouldn't have wanted to stand up at all. stand up.

At this moment, the tranquility was broken again, and the ear-piercing whistling sound of shells piercing the sky sounded again in the sky. The soldiers of the 108th Division, which had almost collapsed, were almost stunned to meet another violent shelling.

"beep!……"

At the beginning of the second round of shelling, a sharp and harsh whistle sounded again in the trenches of the Liantai militia. The sharp whistle pierced the roaring world. It can pierce everyone's eardrums, and even the Sixth Division, which is more than ten kilometers away, can hear it.

"Kill!" As the officers whistled to attack, the trenches of the Liantai militia immediately boiled up. The first battalion of the Xinyi regiment, the ninth battalion of the Liantai militia, and the two battalions and six companies of the first wave of more than 42 assault infantry couldn't wait. The MG2 general-purpose machine guns and M[-] heavy machine guns that covered the charge spewed flames at the Japanese positions at the same time to suppress possible counterattacks by the Japanese soldiers. The six infantry companies that jumped out of the trenches, more than a thousand infantrymen were like six Press the sharp knife to the Japanese position.

The officers and soldiers of the two battalions who jumped out of the trenches and charged quickly looked at the tumbling smoke and rising fireballs on the Japanese position with the same dumbfounded eyes. The strong smell of gunpowder was blown by the northwest wind to the eardrums of the soldiers, which also irritated their nose, mouth, chest and lungs.Amidst the dense explosions, the charging soldiers couldn't hear the orders of their respective non-commissioned officers and officers at all. They just listened to the whistle of the company platoon leader as they did during training, followed the footsteps of those who rushed at the front, and even It's just that they couldn't even hear the sound of "kill, kill" they yelled. There was only one voice in everyone's ears, and that was the sound of violent explosions like thunder.

The soldiers of the First Battalion of the Xinyi Regiment and the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion of the Liantai Militia naturally knew that they had the greatest chance of being killed in the first wave of attack, but they still charged towards the Japanese army without hesitation.

And they who suspected that he was charging towards the Japanese army seemed to be able to feel the ground trembling and shaking under their feet. This was the movement caused by the bombardment of the Japanese army's positions by large-caliber artillery, but no one cared about these trivial matters.

For the soldiers who launched the charge, the most important thing was to break through the first line of defense of the Japanese army in the first place to expand the space for the follow-up troops.

The second round of frontal suppression bombardment was only 2 minutes long, and then began to extend in depth. However, for soldiers who are accustomed to armed cross-country, the 2-minute suppression bombardment is enough for them to rush to the Japanese forward position less than 500 meters away. , using bayonets and grenades to start hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.

When the shelling stopped and the gunpowder smoke on the Japanese positions had not yet had time to disperse, those Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the hell of iron fire had not had time to poke their heads out when they were in shock, when they heard the sound of waves that were close at hand. There was a sound of killing, and then black spots like raindrops were thrown from the air. More than 1000 M24 long-handled grenades were thrown by six companies of assault infantry at a distance of more than [-] meters from the Japanese position. The grenades exploded continuously in the trenches where the Japanese army was blown up, completely blindfolding the Japanese soldiers who were already on the verge of collapse in the shelling.

"Da da da……"

The first wave of assault infantry rushing to the Japanese trenches immediately used MP40 submachine guns, 98K rifles, 42-type rifles and MG[-] machine guns to shoot any movable targets in the trenches, and then jumped into the trenches to drive away the unrecovered Japanese troops with bayonets and submachine guns soldiers.
