Chapter 525 The Battle Begins
In the telescope, the Japanese had approached the outer position and were advancing in an attack formation.
Sun Tianfu puffed up his cheek and took a breath...
"Squeak squeak..." A sharp whistle sounded on the guard company's position.
"Hurry, one row and two rows, each entering the position, and the Japanese will attack immediately!"
The soldiers hiding in the anti-cannon hole entered their respective combat positions under the leadership of their squad leader, leaving only three platoons as reserve teams.
"Kill Jiji..." The Japanese commander waved his command knife and issued an order to attack.
In fact, the attack point of the 16th Division was not the only place where Fang Ji was attacking. From Fang Ji to Baique Garden, the 16th Division was attacking, and the troops were quite scattered.
However, the Japanese attacks still have key locations. For example, Fang Ji and Guanyin Mountain to the north of the mall are the key locations for the Japanese attack. In comparison, Fang Ji is a bit more fierce and has more troops.
Because the 16th Division temporarily placed the command center in Duanji Town, which had just been taken down, an infantry corps and half an artillery corps were the Japanese troops attacking Fangji.
Well, Duanji Town is much larger than Fangji, just about five kilometers east of Fangji...
The Japanese soldiers divided into three groups, attacking from the west of the town, attacking from the north, and attacking from the east.
However, judging from the strength of the Japanese, the main force of the Japanese attacking the east was the Japanese, and the other two routes were to restrain the defenders. Because the Japanese on the east route had enough troops and eight tanks...
The guards faced the entire line of the devils.
Of course, the Japanese would not suppress all their troops, because of the blockade of Shicao River, the Japanese could not use so many people. The two squadrons and eight tanks were the Japanese attack team.
After these days of battle, the Japanese have suffered serious staff reductions, so serious that if they want to replenish new recruits, they have to wait until the next ship arrives at the port.
"Kill Jiji..." The Japanese soldiers soon rushed into the outer positions under the cover of tanks, but no defender saw them.
I searched for the way for the defenders along the traffic trench, but found that the traffic trench was blocked by bamboos with branches and sharpened... Well, this thing is called wolf milling after processing. It is blocked in the traffic trench, and it is difficult for the Japanese to continue searching.
Of course, the Japanese did not need to continue searching. The position here has been taken down, and the next step is to attack the town.
Fangji is not a big town, it is just a larger village along the river, with few houses and sparse houses.
But there is an advantage here, because Fangji has uneven terrain, and some high and low mountains are nearby. The position guarding Fangji was built with the help of these terrains. Only three companies were needed to block the pass that entered the mountain.
In fact, Dushan, just south of the town, is the serious defensive position, and this town is also considered an outer periphery.
After the Japanese occupied the positions outside the town, they immediately organized troops to attack and advance towards the town. Tanks took the lead and infantry came behind them, and rumbled towards the positions of the guard company.
At this time, the soldiers of the guard company had their guns on their backs and their knifes were unsheathed, waiting for the Japanese to attack.
As soon as the Japanese attacking troops climbed a slope and were still 600 meters away from the position, the snipers hiding on the position fired.
"Bang..." A Japanese squad leader fell down.
That's right, our weapons are advanced, who can play melee battles with you? It's because the Japanese were just blocked by the earth slope.
"Nani?" The Japanese had never seen anyone playing like this. They were attacked before until they were nearly 200 meters away. Which one should I play?
"Forward..., Muto Squadron follows the tank, Orihiro Squadron dispersed..." A mere sniper could not stop the Japanese from advancing. The Japanese had crossed the river anyway, so they simply dispersed and continued to attack and advance.
However, what the Japanese did not expect was that as soon as the formation here unfolded, the attack of the guard company followed.
"Distance 500 meters, machine gunner, precision shooter, sniper fire!" This was Fang Hao's order before the war.
Now, the distance has arrived.
"Baopao..." The precise shooters were holding accurate shooter rifles with 4x mirrors, looking for the dispersed Japanese soldiers, and then they found that there was a shot. At this distance, the Japanese gunmen could not reach their own.
"Ba...ba..." The snipers had already fired, but the frequency was slower.
"Dadadada, dadada..." The general-purpose machine gun, also equipped with scopes, also began to fire at the Japanese.
"Baga! Hurry up, find a cover!" The captain of Orihiro looked at his soldiers being knocked to the ground one by one, and quickly ordered the soldiers to hide before talking.
It’s not okay to not hide it. It only took a few dozen seconds, and forty or fifty people fell down. If a squadron is not hidden, it will be gone.
"Boom boom boom... haha... Cecece..." The Japanese tanks fired at the guard company's positions one after another, and the accompanying Japanese machine gunners also set up the machine gun and started to fight back.
However, the Japanese still couldn't change their fate of being shot and killed one by one, as if their counterattack would not cause any harm to their opponents.
"Baga, why is this attack rhythm so familiar?" Captain Kato, who was in charge of this attack, frowned on a small hill in the east.
That's right, it's Captain Kato in the Qingzhang River Valley. This guy has survived so much, but he has not been promoted. Now he is still Captain.
"Order, tank cover, attack forward! Pay attention to artillery fire, pay attention to feet, pay attention to cold guns!" Seeing that the two squadrons in front were suppressed and dared not move, Captain Kato gave the order.
"Hayi!" The messenger left.
"Are they really those people?" Captain Kato raised his telescope in confusion.
The messenger quickly issued the order, and eight tanks lined up to give the Japanese soldiers behind a wide space to cover the Japanese. The Japanese hid behind and no longer wanted to disperse the attack.
"Brothers, I have no chance, I'll hide it all, and I'll watch the bazooka performance later!"
On the guard company's position, the soldiers who had just opened fire saw that there was no chance, so they simply hid them one by one and waited for the Japanese to approach. Doing this was because they were afraid of the Japanese artillery's sudden bombing.
The soldiers hid, and Sun Tianfu and other observers were not idle. They quietly poked their heads in the trenches and monitored the Japanese's offensive team.
“400 meters…300 meters…200 meters…”
Whenever the Japanese walked past a target, the observers shouted to remind the brothers in the trench...
