Chapter 257: Join forces to annihilate the enemy

The battle to clear the tunnel was still ongoing, but Xiao Benyuan also ordered the 33rd Regiment to start crossing the river. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The fierce battle was raging on the front position, the Japanese army was still resisting frantically, but the troops on the river were quickly forced to cross, in just 40 minutes, the strength of one division actually passed two regiments, and if this continued, the entire new 11th division could successfully cross the river!

The previous generals all believed that this forced crossing would have to go through a tragic war before it could break through the Japanese defense line and cross the river, and Lu Daoyuan also ordered the headquarters to advance 20 kilometers and deploy it in Hejiachong, so as to show his determination to resolutely capture Changde!

In the tunnel, the various divisions were still fighting hard, and the resistance of the Japanese army was still stubborn, but under the gradually intensifying offensive, it was just a matter of adding more corpses to the position.

In such a tunnel, bayonets and grenades have become the most powerful weapons, almost every soldier of the 33rd Regiment who attacked on the whole line participated in the battle, Lu Hai and others also personally led the troops to charge, Lu Hai had a sniper rifle in his hand, which was the nemesis of those machine gunners who were entrenched in the fortifications and shooting, and some machine gunners were fired and suppressed by Lu Hai's accurate fire!

It can be said that 60 percent of the 33rd Regiment is replenished with new recruits, but it does have some combat experience in the Jiangxi area before, so it will not retreat or anything when it goes to the battlefield, and the morale of Lu Hai and other officers who take the lead in charging is also high, and under such circumstances, the troops finally gradually captured most of the tunnels of the Japanese army.

"Regiment commander, army commander call!" A communications soldier ran over with a mobile radio, and Lu Hai took the phone and said, "I'm Lu Hai!" ”

"How's your attack going?" Lu Daoyuan asked.

"Everything is going well, now only a small number of Japanese troops are still resisting, and they should be able to capture it in ten minutes!" Lu Hai said.

"That's good, there is a Japanese reinforcement on your side, at least two brigades, I have ordered Li Jian to block them, you quickly clear the Japanese troops in the fortifications, attack from the side, and cooperate with Li Jian to defeat this group of Japanese troops!" Lu Daoyuan ordered.

"Yes!"

Putting down the phone, Lu Hai decisively ordered: "Order the troops, speed up the attack, and be sure to clean up the remaining fortifications in ten minutes!" ”

"Yes!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese army, Isamu Yokoyama was still asleep, but at this time, a Japanese chief of staff ran in quickly and said: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army forced our army's position at five o'clock, and our army's defense line in Yuanshui almost completely collapsed, and the fourth army of the Chinese army is also attacking our army's defense line, and the 20th Army of the Chinese army is showing signs of moving closer to our army!" ”

Yokoyama said angrily, "What? How could the Yuanshui defense line be breached in such a short time, you tell the commanders at the front to recapture the positions of our troops at all costs, otherwise they will not have to come back! ”

"Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid Kamejiro won't be able to come back, from the battle situation they reported back, they have been besieged by the strength of a division of the Shina Army, Saburo Yamamoto is organizing a counterattack, they are asking for air support!" said the chief of staff.

Isamu Yokoyama was silent for a while and said, "Order the forty-fourth squadron to go!" ”

"Yes"!

The battle on the front line was nearing the end, and Sakata Kamejiro Nakasa, with the remaining troops of less than thirty men, stubbornly resisted in a command center in the middle of the position, which had four machine guns, and did not take it for a short time under such circumstances.

The Japanese soldiers are frantically resisting, but Kamejiro Sakata is quickly burning some classified documents and maps in the headquarters!

Lu Hai put down the binoculars and said, "Inform the troops to stop the charge, and tell the third battalion commander to blow it up for me!" ”

After receiving the order, all the units stopped attacking one after another, and Lu Hai immediately ordered: "The first battalion, the second battalion, and the fourth battalion withdraw from the battle, and reinforce the 32nd Regiment in a roundabout way to the north, and the third battalion quickly occupies the position after solving the problem and consolidates the defensive line!" ”

"Yes!"

After Lu Hai gave the order, he immediately led three battalions of troops to quickly advance to the north, Li Fan set up a mortar and aimed it to correct it and ordered: "Open the artillery!" ”

"Knock knock", in a series of artillery sounds, several shells flew directly into the Japanese army headquarters, and the entire Japanese army headquarters collapsed in the violent explosion, Li Fan then ordered: "Inform the commando team, come forward and give them a few grenades to attack!" ”

"Yes!"

In the headquarters, Kamejiro Sakata was crushed by a thigh-thick wooden rafter, and only a few soldiers were still alive with varying degrees of injuries. Several soldiers still tried to resist and approached the door one after another, and Sakata Kamejiro also pushed the wooden rafters off his body with the help of two soldiers, took out the Wang Ba box and waited for the arrival of the Chinese soldiers at the door of the headquarters and shot at the door.

However, the expected Chinese soldiers did not appear, but three grenades emitting green smoke came, and just when these Japanese soldiers wanted to pick up the grenades and throw them out, the roar had already sounded, and the explosions sounded, and these Japanese soldiers were swallowed by shrapnel before they had time to dodge...

On the north side of the battlefield, there are several small hills of more than 100 meters, on the mountain bags at this time, the explosions roared into a ball, and one mortar shell quickly rushed out of the chamber and began to fire at each other, and the soldiers on the position were constantly blown up, and a large number of Japanese troops were also blown up in the crowd of the Japanese army, and Li Jun's 32nd Regiment was fighting with the two Japanese brigades inseparably.

The strength of the two Japanese brigades is not different from that of Li Juan's 32nd Regiment, and the 32nd Regiment has always claimed to be the main force of the new 11th Division, and even the main force of the 58th Army.

The Japanese army had artillery, our army also had mortars, and there was plenty of ammunition, and the Japanese attack troops were also fiercely returned by the mortars and light and heavy machine guns of the 32nd Regiment, and there were 2,000 rifles, and the Japanese casualties under such fire were also further expanded.

However, what Li Jian didn't expect was that the reinforcements of the two Japanese brigades were not finished, and soon the reinforcements of the Japanese army came, and the Japanese army of one brigade launched another offensive under eight Japanese tanks.

Under the heavy fire and unbridled precision strikes of the tanks, several heavy machine-gun positions and some of the main fire points on the mountain pack were hit fiercely!

"Didn't the Chief's Department give me some of our anti-aircraft guns?" Li Jian spit out a mouthful of soil in his mouth and said.

"But we didn't bring it here, so we had to blow it up with people!" The commander of the first battalion said.

"Organize death squads and tell them that those who dare to go down and blow up tanks will be twenty oceans regardless of life or death, and those who can come back alive after blowing up tanks will be fifty oceans!" Li Jian said.

"Yes!"

Just when the commander of the first battalion organized a death squad, eight tanks of the Japanese army attacked frantically with a large group of Japanese troops, and for a time the 32nd Regiment was fiercely attacked by three brigades of Japanese troops and eight tanks.

For a while, the whole front was a little tight, and some heavy machine guns had to fire for a while, and they had to move their positions, otherwise the next shell would fall on their heads, so that the continuity of firepower began to weaken, fortunately, there were many light machine guns in the front of our army, and there were also fierce mortars to suppress it, otherwise the Japanese army was very likely to have attacked.

"Tell the army commander that we can't stand it anymore, urge the 33rd Regiment to speed up!" Li Jian said.

"Yes!"

Just as the communications soldier picked up the phone, a series of mortar sounds sounded on the side hills, and shells whistled towards the Japanese position.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A loud bang sounded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, a large number of Japanese troops were blown up, and at the same time, dense gunshots sounded on the opposite position, Li Jian picked up the binoculars and looked at it and said with a smile: "It's the 33rd Regiment, tell the brothers that reinforcements are coming, give me a stand!" ”

"Regiment Commander, Regiment Commander Lu's phone!" The communications soldier said with a mobile radio.

Li Jian took the phone and said, "I'm Li Juan, you say!" ”

"Commander Li, don't use the death squads, these Japanese tanks are handed over to us!" Lu Hai said.

"We don't have any anti-aircraft artillery, how can we do it?" Li Jian wondered.

"You'll find out right away!" Lu Hai said with a smile.

Hanging up the phone, Lu Hai said: "Push the battle defense gun up for me, aim at the Japanese army and fire!" ”

More than 20 soldiers were pushing some Japanese anti-aircraft guns, which were captured from the Japanese positions, a total of six, which also gave Lu Hai a feeling of making a fortune.

Because even if the previous 60th Army was equipped with battle defense artillery, it was only a regiment with two, and now he has six battle defense guns and more than 1,000 armor-piercing blasting shells in one regiment.

And the position they are now on is just the side of the tank, you must know that the weakest point of the tank is the bottom and the side, and now most of these Japanese tanks can be said to have become targets, and they are very conducive to the attack of armor-piercing shells.

Just as the artillery quickly corrected its position, three Japanese tanks and two squadrons of Japanese troops also launched a diversionary attack on Lu Hai's side, and at the same time, some Japanese mortars also launched an attack on Lu Hai's regiment.

At this moment, the artillery at the front jerked the bolt, and a series of shells flew towards these Japanese tanks with a crisp sound of cannonballs.

"Boom!"

In the loud noise, a Japanese tank was hit with a large hole in the side, and a raging fire burned inside, and at this time, a violent explosion suddenly sounded inside, but the ammunition depot inside was detonated, and in the violent explosion, the Japanese tank was directly lifted into an open-top sports car.

Lu Hai also resolutely ordered: "Pass the order, the first battalion and the second battalion will attack the middle of the Japanese army!" ”

"Yes!"

"The battle defense artillery will hit me hard, and today we will be the rich man for a while, and blow up all these iron kings of the Japanese army!" (To be continued.) )
