Chapter 214 The devils’ suicide attack!
As early as when the flares were fired, Zhou Weimin knew that the Japanese had started attacking again.
However, what Zhou Weimin did not expect was that the Japanese actually mobilized all their troops for this night attack.
Moreover, the Japanese launched night attacks on the four gates of Chidong County.
Fortunately, Zhou Weimin had already issued orders, asking the soldiers to prepare for night battle.
Wu Qianli, Liu Feng, Wang Dali, Sun Shu and others all knew that Zhou Weimin was preparing to fight back against the Japanese tonight.
Therefore, Wu Qianli, Liu Feng, Wang Dali, Sun Shu and others sent out many sentries, which prevented the Japanese from reaching their positions.
After the Japanese discovered that their night attack had been exposed, they began to storm Chidong County.
For a while, the entire area outside Chidong County was filled with the shouts of the Japanese devils, which also made the residents in Chidong County very nervous.
Even Sun Chu, Qiao Anbang, Qiao Linwei and others stood up and gathered in the main courtyard of the Qiao family.
"Commander Sun, what's going on?"
"Didn't we agree on a ceasefire? Why did we suddenly start fighting again?"
As soon as Qiao Anbang walked into the main courtyard, he walked towards Sun Chu and asked.
Because the Qiao family has a team of soldiers from the guard camp, Sun Chu, Qiao Anbang, and Qiao Linwei also have a certain understanding of the battle situation.
In the afternoon, Qiao Anbang and others learned about the armistice agreement between the Tiger Guard Division and the Japanese from the soldiers of the stationed guard battalion.
"Humph, you believe what the Japs say. Look outside, it's so dark, it would be strange if the Japs didn't launch a night attack."
"I just don't know the scale of the Japanese night attack this time, and I don't know if the Japanese have reached the Tiger Guard Division's position."
After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Sun Chu looked at the dark night outside, snorted coldly, and said.
At this moment, Sun Chu was also a little nervous, and was worried that the Tiger Guards Division could not withstand the Japanese night attack.
But is being nervous and worried useful?
No, now Sun Chu only hopes that Zhou Weimin can stop the Japanese from attacking at night.
Just when the residents of Chidong County were extremely nervous, the artillery of the Tiger Guard Division opened fire.
“Boom…boom…boom…”
Two minutes after Zhou Weimin gave the order, the heavy artillery shells of the Tiger Guards Division landed on the path of the Japanese attack.
After a day of fighting, only three of the ten heavy artillery units of the Tiger Guard Division remained.
These three heavy artillery units are located at the east gate, south gate and west gate of Chidong County respectively.
However, in the evening, Zhou Weimin reorganized the three heavy artillery units into four heavy artillery units.
A heavy artillery unit was stationed at each of the four gates of Chidong County.
Now all four heavy artillery units opened fire.
This time Zhou Weimin's order was to use up all the artillery shells.
For a moment, outside the four gates of Chidong County, there were sounds of exploding artillery shells and the sight of flares lighting up the night sky.
The front lines of the positions outside the four gates of Chidong County were filled with screams.
In the first round of shelling, at least one squadron of Japanese soldiers lost the battle.
There was no other way. In order to capture Chidong County as quickly as possible, the Japanese launched a concentrated charge.
This is commonly known as the human wave tactic.
The advantage of this tactic is that once successful, more troops can be deployed to the Tiger Guard Division's position in the shortest time.
Inflict the greatest damage to the Tiger Guards.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. Once they are counterattacked by the intensive firepower of the Tiger Guards Division, the losses will be the greatest.
After the Tiger Guards Division finished its first round of bombardment.
Many broken limbs and arms appeared at the front lines of the positions outside the four gates of Chidong County.
There were also many wounded Japanese soldiers lying on the uneven ground caused by artillery shells.
The wounded soldiers lay on the ground, struggling and howling in pain.
Seeing this scene, the several regiment commanders who personally commanded the Japanese charge felt their hearts bleeding.
Especially the 66th generation commander.
Originally, the 66th Regiment had a full strength of more than 3,800 people, but after the day's fighting, there were less than 2,000 people left.
Tonight we fight to capture Chidong County and for revenge.
The commander of the 66th Regiment took the initiative to take on the task of attacking the north gate of Chidong County.
He originally thought that since there was no heavy artillery unit of the Tiger Guard Division at the north gate of Chidong County, his own regiment would not suffer too many casualties.
And once we are able to take the position at the north gate of Chidong County first.
Not only could his 66th Regiment avenge the humiliation it suffered during the day's failure, but it could even become famous.
Can bear fruit.
"Baka, baka..." The captain of the 66th Regiment kept cursing.
And with the curse of the 66th Regiment Commander.
Several flares were launched from the north gate position of Chidong County. The flares exploded in the night sky, illuminating the entire front of the position as if it were daytime.
With the help of the light from the flares, the soldiers of the guard regiment launched a new round of shooting.
“Da da…da da da…”
"Hit them hard, don't let the devils come up."
......
Although the Japanese did not reach the position of the Tiger Guards Division during this night attack, they were very close to the position of the Tiger Guards Division.
The Japanese will not give up such an opportunity, even if it means heavy casualties.
The devils of the 37th Division are all well-trained veterans.
So when the flares were launched, the Japanese soldiers all found shelter to hide.
Zhou Weimin and Wu Qianli have been at the command center, watching the battle situation with binoculars at the observation post.
Because Zhou Weimin was preparing to counterattack the Japanese at night, he sent a lot of flares to the troops in the evening.
Therefore, the Tiger Guards had no shortage of flares.
From the positions outside the four gates of Chidong County, flares were shot into the night sky as if they were free.
The night sky, which was originally pitch dark, was now illuminated as bright as day by these flares.
In the light of flares.
Zhou Weimin could see that the front of the position was filled with densely packed Japanese soldiers.
These devils are like zombies, unaware of death or pain, and they are desperately moving forward in the dark.
He ignored the shells that exploded at Zhou Weimin.
Zhou Weimin saw a Japanese soldier who had clearly fallen down, but he was still crawling towards the guard regiment's position until his death.
As for this wounded Japanese soldier, the Japanese soldiers behind him ignored him completely and stepped over him and continued to charge, and he fell down too.
Although the heavy artillery units of the Huben Division continued to fire, the Huben Division on the position also fired desperately.
Various fire points were also constantly firing.
However, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side charged with no regard for death, which made the soldiers of the Tiger Guards Division feel helpless.
Watching the Japs slowly approaching the position.
This situation not only occurred at the north gate of Chidong County, but also at the east gate, south gate and west gate of Chidong County.
Moreover, the situation at the east gate, south gate and west gate of Chidong County is even more serious than that at the north gate of Chidong County.
After all, the defenses of the east gate, south gate and west gate of Chidong County are not as good as the north gate of Chidong County.
Zhou Weimin has received telegrams for help from Liu Feng, Wang Dali and Sun Hu.
