Chapter 8
At the same time, the 522 regiment headquarters.

Zhou Weiguo also received a new order.

A divisional herald stood at attention and saluted him: "Regimental Commander Zhou, under the order of the Group Army Command.

My 87th Division is determined to launch a full-line counterattack against the enemy in front of me after nightfall tonight.

In order to regain some of the positions lost during the day, so as to consolidate our army's defense line.

The division seat orders you to be the vanguard of the 87th division's left-wing assault, take the lead in attacking Liu Gongmiao!

Recapture the Liugong Temple before dawn and hold the area! "

At that time, the national army in the Songhu area was forced to switch to the defensive strategically due to the failure of the offensive.

It has retreated to the German consultants, the reserve line of defense prepared for them, which is the so-called Celtic line of defense.

Due to the continuous onslaught of the Japanese army, three days ago the most important point of this line of defense, the defense line on the north shore of Huanzaobang, was breached.

In order to regain the line of defense on the north bank of Yunzaobang, the national army was reinforced by Liao Lei's 21st Army, which was the Gui Army that had just arrived from Guangxi.

It was decided to implement a comprehensive counterattack, using offense instead of defense, to consolidate the Celtic defense line and wait for changes.

This was also the last counterattack and attack by the Chinese army in the Battle of Songhu.

Zhou Weiguo's heart sank, and he bravely accepted the order: "Yes."

Then ask the herald: "When will the supplementary soldiers I requested from the division headquarters be available?"

The herald said: "It's already on the way, and I can arrive in the evening."

After finishing speaking, he leaned closer to Zhou Weiguo's ear and said, "Commander Zhou, in fact, all the regiments have suffered heavy losses, but only your 522 regiment has been replenished.

It is said that Commander-in-Chief Zhang meant it, and the Commander-in-Chief really has nothing to say to you. "

As he said that, he specially gave Zhou Weiguo a thumbs up.

Zhou Weiguo felt awe-inspiring, and immediately expressed his opinion: "Please tell Shangfeng for me, brother, that my 522 regiment will definitely take back the Liu Gongmiao position.

Never fail to live up to the expectations of the superintendent of education! "

On the Ninth Company position, Xu Qingfeng, Liu Mancang and others, were not idle after returning to their own position.

Take them immediately and join the ranks of digging cat ears.

With the whole company's soldiers working together and digging at full speed, dozens of simple cat-ear holes began to take shape.

During this process, Xu Qingfeng saw that the Japanese did not conduct air strikes or shelling.

Can't help but secretly rejoice.

At this time, several cooks came to the Jiulian position carrying three large baskets full of various foods.

The leader shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers of Jiulian, the group asked us to bring food to everyone!"

Xu Qingfeng saw that the cat's ears were almost dug, and he and the soldiers were starving.

So he ordered: "Seize the time to eat, and continue to strengthen the fortifications after eating."

"Company Commander, I'll get the food." Liu Mancang swallowed, and said to Xu Qingfeng.

"Go ahead, I'll stare outside." Xu Qingfeng nodded, took out his binoculars and looked out of the position.

Not long after, Liu Mancang ran back happily with two sesame seed cakes.

Chewing the food in his mouth, he handed one of them to Xu Qingfeng, but said vaguely in his mouth: "Commander, you can eat one too.

I heard from the cook that this was a condolence gift sent by the people of Shanghai.

In addition to sesame cakes, there was also meat, but I didn’t steal it from Platoon Leader Sun and others. "

Xu Qingfeng looked back and saw that not far away, Sun Kui, Zhang Zhijian and others were holding food and devouring it.

Just as he was about to take a bite of the biscuits, Xu Qingfeng suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of black shadows appearing in front of the position.

Quickly raised the binoculars to look, and saw a large number of devil marines, surrounded by several Japanese tanks, advancing towards them mightily.

Surprised, Xu Qingfeng immediately turned his head and shouted: "The enemy is coming, everyone is ready to fight immediately!"

After yelling, he threw the biscuits to Liu Mancang next to him.

Liu Mancang took the biscuits, and hurriedly stuffed the whole thing into his mouth.

Then he carefully took out a piece of gauze, which was left over when he bandaged the company commander Lin Baoguo.

Xu Qingfeng wrapped the uneaten sesame seed cake with gauze and stuffed it into his pocket.

Sun Kui, Zhang Zhijian and other officers and soldiers also stopped eating quickly.

Some people had food in their mouths, and some panicked and dropped the food into the stagnant water under their feet.

But without exception, more than 60 officers and soldiers all picked up their weapons in unison and entered a fighting state.

Xu Qingfeng continued to observe the enemy's situation with his binoculars.

When he saw the crowd of devils, he stopped about a kilometer away from his own position.

When six Type [-] tanks and a part of the Marine Corps artillery carrying mortars began to move forward.

Xu Qingfeng immediately turned around and asked, "Mortar, do we have any more mortars?"

Because in the inherited memory, Jiulian seems to have mortars, but Xu Qingfeng is not sure now.

"Company Commander, our mortars and artillery were blown to pieces by Japanese artillery shells long ago!

No more mortars. "Second platoon leader Sun Kui responded loudly.

Grass!Xu Qingfeng uttered a foul language, and immediately ordered everyone: "Everyone, immediately hide in the artillery hole nearby, the enemy is about to bombard you!
quick! "

Zhang Zhijian, Sun Kui and the others immediately led others to drill into the newly dug cat ear hole nearby.

Seeing that Xu Qingfeng didn't intend to hide, Liu Mancang said anxiously: "Company commander, there is a cat's ear hole here, you go first."

Xu Qingfeng said: "I'll stay and observe the enemy's situation, you go in quickly."

"Company commander, I'll stay and observe, you can go in!" Liu Mancang kindly advised.

"Don't talk nonsense, let me in quickly!" Xu Qingfeng ordered sternly without explaining.

"Yes!" Although he was worried, Liu Mancang did not dare to disobey Xu Qingfeng's order and hurriedly got into the cat's ear hole next to him.

Almost as soon as Liu Mancang entered, the Japanese shelling started.

About three or four artillery shells roared in and landed around the position.

However, none of them entered the trenches.

Xu Qingfeng understood that this was the test firing of the devil's tank guns and mortars.

Sure enough, about one minute after the first round of test firing, the Japanese artillery readjusted to shoot at Zhu Yuan and opened fire again.

This time, six Type 90 tanks and four Type [-] [-]mm mortars roared at the same time.

In the first round, a volley of ten shells came, flying up into the air, and smashing viciously on the Nine Company's position.

Boom boom boom boom boom... A series of violent explosions burst out one after another from all over the Jiulian position.

Groups of dazzling firelights rose from the ground, and thick smoke filled the air.

Xu Qingfeng knew that the Japanese were going to launch a wave of artillery fire first.

Then, if nothing unexpected happens, a small force will be dispatched to conduct a tentative attack.

Attract one's own side to expose firepower, and then use artillery to clear these firepower points on a fixed-point basis.

In the end, all the troops and equipment will be invested, and they will rush forward to capture their own positions.

After all, this time the devil came prepared.

Unlike the previous Marines who wanted to take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, they knew that the Ninth Company position was defended.

He definitely won't make a stupid large-scale charge as soon as he comes up.

Relatively speaking, the devils of this era understand the coordination of infantry and artillery and the coordination of infantry and tanks better than the national army.

When it comes to war, it is cunning and shrewd.
