After dark, Luo Ying was notified to go to the battalion headquarters for a meeting. He suddenly felt something bad. It was probably the turn of the 254th Regiment;
After arriving at the battalion headquarters, the battalion commander didn't say much nonsense and directly conveyed the orders from his superiors. Just as Luo Ying thought, his sixth sense has been extremely accurate since time traveling!
"The devil's turtle shell is hard to beat, but that's not the reason why we, the revolutionary soldiers, are afraid to move forward. There is no indestructible fortress in this world. You have to fight with all your fucking strength. Even if you use your teeth to chew it, you still have to be chewed out by the turtle shell." A few teeth marks coming!
There is no main attack or secondary attack this time. The whole battalion goes up together. The folks in Shencheng are all watching. No one can let me off the hook. Our 88th Division cannot afford to lose this person.
The attack time is set at one o'clock in the morning, and the specific deployment is as follows..."
I have to say that everyone in the 88th Division had a sense of arrogance. Even if the attack during the day did not go well and suffered heavy losses, the 88th Division was not afraid. The most important thing to think about was smashing the impregnable turtle shell of the Japanese. , rather than cherishing life.
The task was already on his shoulders, and Luo Ying could no longer think about being a coward. There were no front lines or rear areas on the Songhu battlefield, so his survival depended purely on luck.
After receiving the mission from the battalion headquarters, Luo Ying immediately summoned several officers for a meeting. There was less than three hours left for them to prepare. For the commander, every second counts. When he saw everyone arrived, he said directly:
"Brothers, it's our turn!
The brothers of the 264th Brigade fought very hard, but they were also very brave. They are all good people. Our 262nd Brigade is not a coward, so even if we die, we will die on the way to the charge.
The Japanese have deployed a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns on the roof of the building, which will definitely cause huge damage to our attacking troops;
Judging from the battle in the afternoon, in order to prevent our army from directly attacking their main building, the Japanese built a large number of bridgeheads in the surrounding areas, forming cross fire with the main building. In addition, the streets were too narrow to facilitate our deployment of troops, making the bridgeheads The Japanese inside often only need a machine gun to block the offensive route of a platoon or even a company.
Therefore, after the attack was launched, these bridgeheads must be removed first. The battalion commander listened to my suggestion and gave this difficult task to our first company;
In order to remove these nails quickly and efficiently, I decided..."
Time was tight, and Luo Ying didn't have much time to discuss with them, so he directly started Yiyantang. He was responsible for issuing orders, and others were responsible for implementing them.
After the meeting, each platoon began to prepare nail-pulling cluster grenades. Without heavy firepower, they could only make plans for long-handled grenades. Luo Ying drew on the experience of the German army at another time. They removed the long handles of several grenades. Then tie hemp rope around a long-handled grenade, twist the ropes together, and a simple cluster bomb is ready;
Each platoon selects a few strong men to be responsible for throwing. As long as they are thrown into the enemy's barricade, the killing effect is very good;
In addition, all the P28 submachine guns and box guns of the entire company were gathered together with the bombardiers and two grenade launchers to form an assault platoon to attack the enemy. Others would develop tactics around the assault platoon. Urban street fighting must use concentrated firepower to be effective. to attack the enemy.
Before launching the attack, we also found several fellow villagers to introduce the surrounding terrain to the entire company. Because the Japanese artillery was fierce and it was dangerous to fight nearby, we did not ask the fellow villagers to be our guides;
After making this series of preparations, it was past twelve o'clock in the morning, and there were only ten minutes left before the launch of the attack. The squad responsible for reconnaissance of the terrain had already set off in advance. Their mission was to find the bridgeheads posted by the Japanese outside. Then unplug them one by one.
At one o'clock in the morning, the artillery fire prepared by the direct artillery regiment ignited the night sky. Since the shooting elements were marked in advance, the attack effect was pretty good. At least most of the artillery shells fell into the Japanese fortress, especially the observation tower on the roof. The enemy inside will do more damage;
The Japanese built a reinforced concrete observation tower on the roof of the building, which could overlook the surrounding battlefields. A large number of heavy mortars and 92 infantry guns were deployed on it to suppress the attacking troops from a high position, causing a large number of casualties to the attacking troops. .
The reason why we chose to attack at night was to avoid the enemy's spy on the observation tower and reduce casualties.
The artillery preparation lasted for more than an hour, causing some damage to the Japanese fortifications in the fortress and killing a small number of enemies, but the overall effect was still unsatisfactory and far from the effect of destroying the Japanese solid fortifications.
After being bombarded, the Japanese headquarters immediately called for artillery support. Within ten minutes, the ships on the river began to fire violently in the direction of the group army's artillery position. In order to avoid the loss of the artillery regiment, Lieutenant General Zhang ordered to stop the bombardment and The infantry did the rest.
Compared to the hundreds of naval guns on the river, the army's meager wealth was simply not worth it, so we had to give in;
After the artillery preparations were completed, the two main regiments of the 262nd Brigade launched a full-line attack. Groups of soldiers braved the hail of bullets and bravely rushed towards the Japanese iron wall. Some people fell down due to the bombardment, and then others immediately made up for them, rushing forward and succeeding. ....
"Company Commander, we found the enemy's firepower ahead. There are at least three machine guns, and they are firing wildly at our attacking troops from the flanks!"
Li Shuo, the deputy company commander in charge of leading the assault platoon, reported loudly to Luo Ying.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ying immediately said:
"Let's go and see together!"
The two quickly arrived at the assault platoon's starting position, only a few dozen meters away from the Japs' firepower point. Fortunately, it was night, so it was difficult for the Japs to spot them.
Luo Ying took a closer look and saw that it turned out to be a two-story warehouse, hidden in a residential area, forming a 90-degree angle with the headquarters building. There was at least one 92 heavy gun and two light machine guns on it, which was just right. You can strafe our attacking troops from the flanks. Such side firepower is very lethal to the attacking troops.
Seeing this, he said loudly to Li Shuo:
"Did you see that if you want to attack the enemy's warehouse, you must first take down the two barricades on the front and side. There is a detachment of Japanese soldiers in each barricade. Divide the commando into two parts. You and a platoon leader One person will lead a detachment, and you will take care of all the stupid things! I will lead the main force to cover you."
After Li Shuo and the others left, Luo Ying directed others to deploy firepower. Once the commando team started taking action, they would go all out to attract the enemy's firepower and create conditions for the commando team.
In front of the headquarters building, the 262nd Brigade attacked one after another. Almost all the Japanese firepower was attracted. They didn't even notice that a group of people had come over from their flanks.
When Li Shuo led the first group of commandos to the Japanese barricade, they were still firing wildly with their machine guns, and the barrels were red!
"Ignore you, Liu Dayong, bring a few people up and invite these idiots to fly on a plane!"
Li Shuo, who comes from Lingnan Province, has the unique ferocity of the Cantonese army, and Lao Guang has never been timid in fighting the Japanese.
Liu Dayong is also a master who does not take things too seriously. In addition to his loud voice, he is also brave and powerful. After receiving the order, he led a demolition team to go up. He was carrying a bundle of cluster grenades in his hand. You have to kiss yourself and send the Japanese back to their hometown.
Although Liu Dayong was big, he was very agile. He jumped up and down and quickly found the best attack position. He was less than thirty meters away from the Japanese barricade. From this distance, he was confident that he could throw the bomb directly into the Japanese den. go.
Inside the barricade, Sergeant Fujita Shichiro was leading a dozen Japanese soldiers to shoot wildly at the attacking Chinese army. Suddenly he noticed the sound of a heavy object breaking through the air. He looked up and saw a dark thing in the sky crashing over. He also flashed to the side reflexively...
"boom"
He almost watched the heavy object explode in the air, and then countless shrapnel flew towards him, one of which hit his left eye;
His memory stayed at this moment, when he and the other Japs were blown up into one or half corpses.
