Like most officers, Shi Shuyou also believed that the bombardment launched by the Zhiyi Regiment was launched by the Japanese army. After all, such density of firepower was not something that the national army could do——
After all, the current situation of the national army is still relatively poor, not to mention that it must be the kind that can't expose the pot! At least it seems that no officer would be so bad as to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army before launching an attack, right?
After all, there is no great military significance in launching such a high-density and high-intensity artillery bombardment against the Japanese army without a surprise attack plan.
What everyone didn't expect was that Zhang Tianhai was such a fucked-up commander. He suddenly got up in the middle of the night and served the Japanese army with a burst of artillery fire, just to retaliate for the Japanese army's ferocious attack during the day.
What's more important is that these little devils will probably be furious if they can be bombarded by this fierce artillery fire from the Japanese army.
However, it turns out that getting up and getting angry is a terrible thing, especially when the "alarm clock" is still under fire...
The Japanese army's artillery fire roared during the attack, and each shell hit the Chinese army's position hard, immediately "waking" the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army awake.
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
The artillery shells hit the position, causing a burst of debris and shrapnel from the artillery shells flying rapidly in the air. All the national officers and soldiers hid behind the bunkers to avoid this damn bombardment by the Japanese army.
At this moment, Zhou Fangjie, deputy commander of the first regiment directly under the third war zone and commander of the Tangtou Town defensive position, took the officers and soldiers of the military police company to the front line of the first battalion, risking artillery bombardment.
Yes, for the military police company, Zhou Fangjie directly used it as a guard company. Of course, it can also be used to support anywhere when necessary.
Li Chunfei was really confused when he saw Zhou Fangjie coming up with the military policemen with white cuffs on their arms.
"Deputy Commander, why did you bring the military police up to supervise the battle?" Li Chunfei stuttered. Yes, like everyone else, he also thought that Deputy Commander Zhou came up with the supervising team to supervise the battle.
There's no way around it. The gendarmerie exists just like this. It maintains troop discipline in peacetime and maintains order on the battlefield during wartime. Well, maintaining order on the battlefield is, to put it bluntly, supervising operations.
Zhou Fangjie shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to direct the battle, and the military police are also here to support the frontline fighting this time."
"No way? The regiment headquarters has reached the point where it is time to use the gendarmerie as a combat force?" Li Chunfei looked depressed.
At this moment, the Japanese artillery fire stopped, and thousands of Japanese troops also attacked from the west to the east of Tangtou Town!
The Japanese troops all over the mountains and fields began to rush towards the positions of regiments and battalions. In the dark night, they looked like rats everywhere, very dense, accompanied by the rumble of tanks starting up!
Hearing the rumbling sound of the tank engine running, Zhou Fangjie's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stood up and shouted: "Brothers of the small artillery company, listen! Your target is the tank! Concentrate your firepower, and you can destroy one. One!!!”
"Yes! Sir!!!" Xu Zengsheng, commander of the small artillery company, responded loudly.
Zhou Fangjie raised his head and looked at the Japanese troops advancing across the mountains and plains. His breathing had become heavier. He said to Li Chunfei next to him: "You, tell the brothers, after you put the little Japs into a hundred meters, you will use full firepower." , give me a free fight!"
"Yes! Sir!" Li Chunfei responded.
Then, Zhou Fangjie directly grabbed a military policeman and said, "You, go and tell the regiment leader now. Tell him that the Japanese army has launched an all-out attack. Go and inform him!"
"Yes, sir!" The military policeman responded and ran back to the regiment headquarters.
The distance between the Japanese troops was approaching, and Zhou Fangjie was counting silently: four hundred meters... three hundred and fifty meters... three hundred meters...
When the Japanese army got closer to 100 meters, Zhou Fangjie shouted "hit" and then pulled the trigger.
Bullets burst out of the barrel and shot at the Japanese soldiers with scorching heat. Some of them directly hit the charging Japanese soldiers. When the bullets penetrated their bodies, they also brought a small piece of meat with them. Come out, the wound is not as big as usual.
"Ah!~~~" The Japanese soldier who was hit instantly let out a miserable cry.
Soon, the Japanese soldier who fell to the ground was trampled to death by his comrades who swarmed behind him.
The Japanese bayonets emitted very clear reflections in the dark night, bursts and rows, shining coldly.
The Japanese tanks were advancing among the Japanese infantry. The machine guns on the tank turrets were still firing, trying to suppress the firepower on the opposite side.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The machine guns of the Japanese tanks were already at full fire!
If they faced the previous National Army troops, this tank would naturally be invincible. However, it was a pity that they encountered German troops equipped with Soloton machine guns!
"Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
The six Solotun machine guns had already aimed their guns at one of the tanks, and then fired!
Six 20mm caliber machine gun bullets hit the Japanese tank hard, causing a burst of beautiful sparks! The large-caliber bullets that had not been exhausted directly penetrated the thin steel plates of the Japanese army, and then the thin-skinned little tank actually caught fire!
This burst of fire immediately illuminated everything around it, which was very conspicuous in the dark night. The nearby Japanese army immediately attracted a burst of machine gun fire from the national army, and there were screams!
"The damn Chinese are actually equipped with machine guns!" Katano Sadami held a samurai sword in his hand, his eyes were already wide open!
However, Katano Sadami was not that kind of indecisive person. He raised his katana high and kept shouting: "Why don't you jiji (charge)!!!"
Just when the forward troops of the Zhiyi Regiment began to exchange fire with the Japanese army, Zhang Tianhai, who was at the headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment, also received a call from the temporary command center in Tangtou Town. It was the man who was ordered by Zhou Fangjie to call and inform the regiment leader of the frontline news. The military police called.
"Hello, this is the regiment headquarters, I'm Zhang Tianhai." Zhang Tianhai directly picked up the phone and said.
"Hey, regimental leader, this is the temporary command center of Tangtou Town. Deputy Commander Zhou has led the gendarmerie to the front line to direct the operations. He ordered me to report to you that the Japanese army has launched an all-out attack on Tangtou." Phone call Said the other end.
"Attack with all your strength? Are you sure?" Zhang Tianhai asked.
"Reporting to the team, we are very sure that all the Japanese troops have been dispatched just now, as well as tanks. The mountains and plains are full of Japanese troops." The military policeman assured.
"Okay, I understand. Tell Deputy Commander Zhou for me that you must use the existing garrison forces in Tangtou Town to delay the Japanese attack with all your strength!" Zhang Tianhai warned again.
"Yes! Tuanzuo!" the other side of the phone responded.
Immediately after hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianhai had Wang Yongcheng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, Lu Shaojie, the commander of the second battalion, and Liu Houming, the commander of the special agent company, called to the regiment headquarters, and urgent orders were given.
Looking at the three people standing upright in front of him, Zhang Tianhai put his hands behind his back and said: "Everyone, I, Zhang Yulin, called you here this time to tell you one thing. This time, I will personally lead the team. The goal of the operation is to sneak attack the Japanese artillery positions. Remember, we have collected all these artillery pieces. Also, to attack the Japanese rear Launch a surprise attack from behind, forming a flanking attack on the Japanese army!"
"Yes! Group seats!" Wang Yongcheng, Lu Shaojie, Liu Houming and other three people responded in unison.
After assigning the combat mission to these three people, Zhang Tianhai turned to Guo Qiliang and said: "Brother Qiliang, we will leave our back to you. You can take the third battalion as a reserve! Now the artillery battalion has arrived There are no more artillery shells, and the baggage company has little combat effectiveness, so the rest is up to you."
Guo Qiliang nodded solemnly and said, "You can just lead the troops forward and fight forward, and leave the rear to me."
Zhang Tianhai patted Guo Qiliang's shoulder and said nothing else. He just turned his head and glanced at Zheng Man, who was staring at him. He nodded, then turned to Lu Shaojie and others and said, "You three, Gather the troops immediately! Set off immediately!"
"Yes! Tuanzuo!" The three people responded again.
Watching Zhang Tianhai and others leave, Zheng Man suddenly felt inexplicably sorry for Zhang Tianhai: Although he was already the leader, he must take the lead and do it personally. The most dangerous task must be carried out by him, Zhang Tianhai. .
"Chief of Staff, tell me, why does Zhang Yulin always carry out the most dangerous tasks personally?" Zheng Man looked at Guo Qiliang and asked, how long had she and Zhang Tianhai been together since they met? Certainly not as long as Guo Qiliang had known Zhang Tianhai.
Guo Qiliang smiled and said: "Zhang Yulin, I don't know what to say about him. Does this mean that he is not afraid of death in war? In the past, when it was a domestic battlefield, he gave a lot of gifts and was basically not willing to take him. The soldier rushes forward, otherwise he would not have graduated six or seven years ago, and he was only a small deputy company commander. Before the Battle of Songhu, many other classmates in the same period were already full company commanders or deputy battalion commanders. But he was afraid Come on, since the Battle of Songhu, he personally led the troops, which is not ordinary..."
"It seems like he hates civil war very much." Zheng Man said with a smile.
"Probably, if he had been so fierce when fighting the civil war with other officers' troops, he would have taken the lead a long time ago. I'm afraid he would have been a deputy commander during the Battle of Songhu. But to be honest, we people have How many of them like to fight? Let alone something as meaningless as fighting a civil war. Like the Central Plains War, how many of our good brothers died..." As he spoke, Guo Qiliang let out a long sigh.
Indeed, if there had been no war, they would have just been working for a few years. Those who could get into the Whampoa Military Academy, especially those who were admitted before 1936, who would not be the best among people? Those who could pass the exam at that time were those with smart minds and a certain amount of perseverance.
With the brains and abilities of these people, in fact, in peacetime, it is not necessarily possible to achieve official positions like those during war, but at least there is no problem in being an official or making money.
