"idiot!"
Colonel Akashiba Yaezo roared and slapped Inoue Mitaro, who was responsible for leading the troops to attack, in the face.
"Snapped!"
A huge handprint was immediately printed on Mitaro Inoue's face, and then it turned slightly red.
"Why don't you control the team and continue to charge!?" Colonel Akashiba Yaezou cursed angrily. He could see the specific situation, but he was in a bad mood at the moment, so he wanted to use this to vent.
Mitaro Inoue, who received a heavy slap, did not dare to refute. He just stood at attention and lowered his head, and then said: "Your Majesty, Captain, please forgive me for being incompetent! It was due to the terrain and the enemy's firepower that it was too fierce. , so I would like to ask Your Excellency, the Commander of the Wing, to give me another chance to lead the troops to launch a fierce attack! If possible, I hope that Your Excellency, the Commander of the Wing, can give me some artillery firepower support!"
Akashiba Yaezo had long thought of using artillery cover to continue launching a fierce attack. After hearing Mitaro Inoue's assurance, he walked down the slope and said: "Yoshi, but the next attack must attack the enemy." position!"
"Hai!" Mitaro Inoue responded in a deep voice.
The Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain were busy preparing to launch a fierce attack on the Nationalist positions in Zhangshan, but the Nationalist officers and soldiers on the mountain were not idle either. They hurriedly replenished their supplies with grenades, machine gun bullets, grenade shells, and other ammunition.
"This battle was beautifully fought... I have never fought such a comfortable defensive battle since the battle in Shanghai..." Li Chunfei sighed, whether it was Songhu or the previous Tangtou offensive and defensive battle, It is at a disadvantage, and it must not only fight offensive warfare, but also fight defensive warfare under the enemy's superior strength.
Don't forget, when the Zhiyi Regiment attacked Tangtou Town, the small artillery company, mortar company and even the artillery battalion were strengthened to the second battalion, and Li Chunfei's first battalion and Han Xingle's fourth battalion could both They are all responsible for attacking based on their own abilities.
More importantly, at that time, there was no enhancement of ultra-light mortars such as grenades, so the fire support was naturally not as fierce as it is now.
Let’s talk about that time, during the defensive battle in Tangtou Town. Don’t forget, it was conducted under the superior artillery fire of the Japanese army. Apart from a few more machine guns and a few more mortars, there didn’t seem to be much reinforcement. Well, the artillery battalion didn't even fire artillery support.
"Don't be complacent. If there are no accidents, the Japanese army will have artillery to assist in the next wave of attacks. Maybe there will be heavy weapons such as fifteen-year-old heavy artillery to assist." Zhang Tianhai's face did not look relaxed at all. He had already arrived from Teng County before. News has come out that the Japanese army not only has armored trains, but also heavy artillery to assist!
"No way? Didn't the Japanese army just break out from Taierzhuang? Why did they carry equipment like the 15-year-old heavy artillery in a hurry? They were running for their lives..." Li Chunfei said with some surprise.
"Everything is possible. The Japanese army has tanks and trucks to haul heavy artillery. We are not the poorest people who can only rely on mules and horses to pull artillery." Zhang Tianhai said with a wry smile and shook his head.
After hearing this, Li Chunfei nodded and said: "What the group said makes sense, but I have neglected my thinking direction."
"Anything can happen on the battlefield. We must be prepared for the worst, because we cannot afford to lose. If we lose, we will be dead." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, and then looked at Li Chunfei.
"Yes, group seat." Li Chunfei responded.
"By the way, let's count the casualties immediately! Then send people to carry the seriously injured people to the back mountain! This little Japanese will probably launch an all-out attack soon. The Tang Enbo Legion is chasing and biting them. It's no wonder these little devils are not in a hurry, there will definitely be a fierce attack within half an hour." Zhang Tianhai said confidently.
The Japanese army's attack on Zhangshan was just a tentative attack. They couldn't just retreat after a hundred or ten people died, right? For the defense of Yixian, this Zhangshan is not just a simple flank, it is also related to the Japanese army's next plan to attack Xuzhou.
That's right, by then, Zhangshan will become an outpost for the Japanese army to attack Taierzhuang again!
If you don’t plan for the overall situation, you can’t plan for a region; if you don’t plan for the eternity, you can’t plan for a moment!
This is where Zhang Tianhai's confidence lies. Others may only see that he wants to expand the battle situation, but as a time traveler, he knows that the national army failed to successfully expand the results after the Battle of Taierzhuang!
Therefore, the Japanese army's next attack is inevitable!
"Yes, regimental seat." Li Chunfei responded, and then went to ask the messenger to convey the order.
Not long after, the messenger came back to report the casualties.
"Reporting to the battalion commander and regimental commander, according to the statistics of each company, it is known that two people in the first company were seriously injured, one was killed, and three were slightly injured; the second company was seriously injured, nine were seriously injured, seven were killed, and 18 were slightly injured; the third company was seriously injured and four were seriously injured. Five people were killed and four were slightly wounded; the cannon battery had no casualties, and a total of fifteen people were seriously injured, thirteen were killed and twenty-six were slightly injured," the orderer reported.
"It seems that we have taken a lot of advantage. Twenty-eight casualties and twenty-six minor injuries can repel such an attack by the enemy. The enemy will have at least a hundred casualties...there must be countless minor injuries. ?" Zhang Tianhai nodded, obviously quite satisfied with the casualty result.
Don't forget, among the officers and soldiers of the first battalion, the soldiers are basically new recruits... Being able to achieve this result proves that Li Chunfei is indeed more attentive during training.
"Regiment leader, I believe that the casualties just now were mainly caused by Japanese grenade launchers. After this battle, is it necessary to conduct special training on dodging shells?" Li Chunfei asked, still hanging one arm.
"Let's see! This training is necessary, but I don't know if the little devil will leave us so much time. I don't know when the next battle will start... Now we can only train while fighting. , These evil little devils... Haha..." As he said that, Zhang Tianhai sneered.
After the attack on Taierzhuang, who knows where the superiors will transfer the Zhiyi Tuan? Again, since you have integrated into this era, you can only follow the trend of this era. No one can know your future destiny.
Times have always created heroes, not heroes!
Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Jiao wanted to launch the Yellow Turban Uprising, but it was also because he had a mass base. If it were not for the people in the late Han Dynasty, he would not have been able to launch such a large-scale peasant uprising. Or try launching an uprising during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?
They will all be wiped out by the army in a few days. Who will play this trick with you?
So times make heroes!
Just as Zhang Tianhai expected, shortly after the messengers reported the situation of each company, the Japanese artillery opened fire!
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
One after another, 75mm field artillery shells streaked across the sky and hit the position on the mountainside of Zhangshan Mountain. The soil flew up for a while, as if it was an apocalyptic scene!
After hiding in the headquarters of the first battalion to avoid the shelling, Zhang Tianhai immediately picked up the phone: "Hello! This is Zhang Tianhai! Get me to the regiment headquarters immediately!"
After a while, the call was connected.
Due to the rumbling sound of artillery, Zhang Tianhai directly tore his throat and shouted into the phone: "Hey, is this the regiment headquarters!? I am Zhang Tianhai, the regiment commander. I am now in the first battalion. I immediately sent an order to the artillery position as quickly as possible. Capture the Japanese artillery position, then fire the artillery, and destroy the Japanese artillery position for me!!"
"Yes! Regiment seat!" The person who answered the phone was combat staff officer Xu Xun. After hearing the regiment commander's order, Xu Xun immediately informed the original text of the order to Guo Qiliang, the chief of staff who stayed behind at the regiment headquarters.
"Okay, you go to the artillery position immediately and inform Deputy Commander Zhou of the matter!" Guo Qiliang said in a deep voice. He naturally knows what the bombardment situation is below. He can tell by the density of the artillery sound. This little devil is definitely It's urgent!
"Yes, sir!" Xu Xun responded and quickly ran out.
Sometimes, the combat staff must play the role of the messenger. First, they must be able to convey the information accurately. Second, what the combat staff sees is different from what the messenger sees.
Messengers usually exist to convey orders from higher-level agencies to lower-level troops. They only convey an order. This does not meet the current combat needs and requires various information for the construction of artillery positions.
…
The camera turns to Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps, which is forming a pursuit formation against the Japanese army.
After the Japanese army fled Taierzhuang, Tang Enbo's army immediately ordered its main forces, the 52nd Army and the 85th Army, to pursue and suppress the Japanese army. After all, this was a rare opportunity - the Japanese army was defeated, and its combat effectiveness was There must be some weakening, and the will to fight is weaker than when he was stubbornly defending before. If he catches up and fights, he will definitely make a lot of money!
Therefore, whether it was Army Commander Tang Enbo, or Commander of the 52nd Army Guan Linzheng, or Commander of the 85th Army Wang Zhonglian, they all gave the troops a fatal order: they must take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, and do not allow the Japanese army to get a chance to breathe!
However, due to the physical disparity between the two armies, and the fact that the Japanese army was running for their lives, they escaped extremely fast, so the gap between the two armies was gradually widening.
Just when Tang Enbo's army was about to lose traces of the enemy's pursuit in the vast darkness, the violent shelling from Zhangshan gave them a great news: there was fighting in the direction of Zhangshan, and the enemy troops It's definitely there!
