Chapter 45: Attracting Firepower

The 1086th regiment, the whole regiment cautiously advanced in the direction of Yuwang Mountain, just to be able to quickly close the distance, and then take the opportunity to launch an attack and capture Yuwang Mountain in one fell swoop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Yuwang Mountain is surrounded by plain terrain, it is really not good to hide, according to the art of war, you should wait for dark at this time, and use the night to attack Yuwang Mountain, but Yuwang Mountain is the key point of contention. The Japanese army has just fought for Yuwang Mountain, how can it be easy to give up this key point, and it is also rapidly mobilizing troops to move closer to Yuwang Mountain, at this time it is already extremely urgent, once the Japanese army has a foothold on Yuwang Mountain, then it is the end of the 60th Army.

It's evening. But after all, on a different night, when the 1085th Regiment felt half a mile forward, they were still exposed.

The battle broke out only because the two slopes on the hill found that a large army was moving towards the wheat field in the distance below, and opened artillery bombardment of the wheat field, and several sergeants were instantly blown up by the shells.

Yang Hongyuan said angrily: "Blow the trumpet, and the whole regiment will attack Yuwang Mountain at the fastest speed"!

At this moment, several trumpeters suddenly stood up in the wheat field and blew the trumpet, and at this time, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the whole regiment jumped up from the wheat field and rushed quickly towards the opposite Yuwang Mountain, at this time, all the mortars in the wheat field opened fire, and the target was directly at Yuwang Mountain!

The roar on Yuwang Mountain continued, and all the soldiers were rushing towards the mountain peak at the fastest speed, because they had already stabbed the hornet's nest, because there was a whole wing of the Japanese army not far away, and it was a Japanese wing equipped with a lot of heavy weapons. If they can't quickly capture Yuwang Mountain, which is garrisoned by only one squadron, then they are about to fight hand-to-hand again with this Japanese army on the unfortified plain.

At the foot of Yuwang Mountain on the opposite side, seeing that the other party raised a large number of troops to attack, he also panicked for a while, and hurriedly called for help, and it was at this time that a Japanese wing originally stationed in the village also quickly dispatched troops, and the devils of the two brigades began to rush towards the attacking 1085 regiment in the wheat field under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.

"What about the regimental commander? If we get entangled in this team's devils, it's over?" The commander of the first battalion said urgently.

"So far, we can only gamble, order the troops, with the most fierce firepower to attack Yuwang Mountain, as long as we seize Yuwang Mountain, we have the high ground to rely on, and then we will send reinforcements to come"! Yang Hongyuan said.

"Yes"!

At this time, there were two battalions of soldiers attacking Yuwang Mountain, while the remaining two battalions were aiming most of their firepower at the devil wing, which was only a few hundred meters away from them.

At this moment, several artillerymen hurriedly dragged a few or four anti-aircraft guns over and placed them in the wheat field, and began to lock on and aim at the rushing Japanese tanks.

I saw a soldier stuff an armor-piercing bullet with a thick wrist into the barrel of the cannon, and a soldier on the side pulled the rope sharply.

In the same way, the rest of the anti-aircraft guns were like this, only a few sharp shells were heard, and the oncoming tanks burst into flames, and at the same time, the mortars opened fire fiercely, and a series of shells rushed into the sky and slid through the air and smashed heavily into the ranks of the Japanese troops.

"Quickly change positions"! The commander of the artillery company said urgently.

"Yes"!

Several soldiers hurriedly transferred the mortars and anti-aircraft guns to other locations in the wheat field, and sure enough, at this moment, the tanks on the opposite side also thought that the two artillery positions before opened fire fiercely, and for a while the dust was flying and thick smoke was billowing out, if it had not been transferred earlier, I am afraid that their mortars and anti-aircraft guns would have to be reimbursed here.

At this moment, the heavy machine guns hidden in the ridges of the wheat fields were also violently meeting, and the dense bullets opened fire on the charging Japanese troops.

The Japanese tanks on the opposite side did not show weakness, and the main guns were constantly looking for heavy fire in the wheat fields to fire, and they were also constantly looking for their natural enemies, battle defense guns!

Although the 60 th Army, which was equipped with anti-aircraft artillery, was already like a tiger at this time, although it did not have a series of heavy firepower such as tanks and mountain artillery, the light and heavy machine guns of the 60 th Army were not worse than those of the Japanese army, and the two were shooting frantically in this wheat field.

At this time, the wheat field was full of whistling bullets and heavy rain, and the troops who had originally charged had to crawl down in the wheat field, because once their heads were raised, they were afraid that they would be killed by bullets.

"War defense artillery, are you plagued? Aim the tank for Lao Tzu and open fire"! Yang Hongyuan scolded as he looked at the already blocked attacking troops.

A moment later, the 82 mortars that were erected again also opened fire fiercely, and a series of artillery fire smashed towards the opposite side, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side were not to be outdone, mortars, hand guns, and tank main guns fired wildly at this lush wheat field.

The positions on both sides were blasted endlessly, and there were casualties on both sides, but the 1086th Regiment obviously suffered heavier casualties, after all, the Japanese army's firepower was absolutely superior, and the most troublesome thing was that the Japanese army was divided into troops at this time to attack in the direction of the 1086th Regiment.

At this time, a Japanese cavalry brigade was also encircled here, and the original wing was now adding a cavalry brigade, looking at this posture to encircle and annihilate the 1086 regiment.

"Regiment commander, you can't fight anymore, withdraw quickly"! The commander of the first battalion said urgently.

Yang Hongyuan frowned and said: "Damn, I said that why did these devils put such a small number of troops on Yuwang Mountain, it turned out to be a bigger trap, notify the whole regiment, and fight and retreat, and move closer to the 1087 regiment"!

"Yes"!

"Retreat"!

"Retreat"!

In a series of retreats, the 1086th Regiment began to retreat under the cover of mortars, and the Japanese side saw that the 1086th Regiment was retreating, and naturally they would not let go of this great opportunity to annihilate a regiment of the Dian Army, especially the cavalry brigade, more than a thousand war horses rushed towards this side.

On the plain at this time, Zhang Chong personally led a special platoon of more than 30 soldiers to rush to the defense line of Yuwang Mountain, and turned out of a village to meet Wang Kaiyu's 1087 regiment.

Seeing this, Zhang Chong hurriedly asked, "What is the situation now?"

"Division commander, the 1086 regiment in front and the devils have exchanged fire, a wing of the devils plus a cavalry brigade is launching a fierce attack on our 1086 regiment, and our department is preparing to go to reinforcements"! Wang Kaiyu said hurriedly.

Zhang Chong frowned, and said: "The Japanese army's firepower is fierce, now go to the reinforcement command to attract more devils and more troops to come to reinforce, don't they want to encircle and annihilate our 1086 regiment, you attack from the flank, let them be surrounded by the enemy on their backs, the task of our trip is to capture Yuwang Mountain"!

"Yes"!

"I'll go with you!" Zhang Chong said.

"How can this be done, the fight will start soon, and then this plain will be full of artillery fire, if you have any three long and two short, our whole division will soon be in chaos"! Wang Kaiyu said.

"If we can't grab Yuwang Mountain, our whole army will be finished, and I still have Staff Officer Xue to give advice, what are you afraid of"! Zhang Chongdao.

Wang Kaiyu looked at Xue Zi on the side and was about to speak, but Zhang Chong said: "Time is pressing, your troops must intercept the Japanese offensive when they attack from the side, otherwise the 1086 regiment will be in danger"!

"Yes"!

"Staff Officer Xue, let's go"! Zhang Chong walked towards the troops as he spoke, and Wang Kaiyu had no choice but to order: "The whole regiment will attack quickly!"

For a time, more than 2,500 people in the whole regiment quickly attacked, and the target was the flank direction of the attacking Japanese army.

At this time, in the wheat field, the fierce battle continued, and a cavalry brigade of the devil cavalry used the rapid mobility of the cavalry to quickly outflank the 1086 regiment, trying to surround and annihilate the entire 1086 regiment.

After the two fiercely fired at each other, it was a close encounter, and at this time, the distance between the two armies was too close, and some soldiers had begun to stab each other. There are also Hatch Chase heavy machine guns placed on the flanks that are firing fiercely, targeting the charging Japanese troops and the Devil cavalry who are maneuvering on the flank.

In the front, the battle has been carried out to the most fierce moment, although the soldiers of the Yunnan army began to retreat, but it is not a rout, the Japanese army that caught up did not chase the Chinese army as usual, as long as it was defeated and slaughtered, on the contrary, the soldiers of the Yunnan army fought and retreated all the way, and did not have time to counterattack and caused serious losses to the devil's troops.

On the contrary, after catching up, these so-called barbarian troops instead charged in the opposite direction with bayonets and the Burmese swords they were equipped with, and the Chinese and Japanese troops of about four or five hundred people were strangled together in an instant.

Some soldiers pulled grenades and smashed at the Japanese army, some soldiers were fighting with the Japanese army in close quarters, for a time on the plain, in the wheat field, shouting to kill the sky, bayonets stained with blood, Burmese swords made by ethnic minorities and Japanese katana swords were clashing on the plain.

From time to time, Japanese soldiers were stabbed to death with bayonets, some soldiers of the Yunnan army fell, and from time to time, soldiers were stabbed to death by samurai swords, and some Japanese soldiers were cut off a whole half of their shoulders by Burmese swords.

The wheat fields were full of corpses and blood, and this inhumane white-knuckle battle made the Japanese army regret that they were too impatient, after all, once the two armies directly clashed, if they fought with each other, these barbarian troops from the southwest border were not only not worse than them, but also a few points stronger than them.

Sure enough, when the two armies began to fight with bayonets, there were obviously more Japanese soldiers lying down than the soldiers of the Yunnan army, and some soldiers had even been stabbed three or four times in their bodies, still holding on to the grenades on their bodies, and even fighting frantically with bayonets on their wounds, until he had no strength, until some Japanese soldiers opened fire, until they were shot to death, until they were stabbed to death.

On the side of the wheat field, there was a company of troops at this time, and the company commander's surname was Yang, called Yang Zhenguo. Yang Zhenguo saw that the Japanese army was rushing forward and blocking and trying to divide and encircle the whole regiment, once the whole regiment was encircled, he was afraid that he would face the danger of annihilation of the whole army, and hurriedly said: "Brothers, the devils are surrounding our team, I decided to take our company to attract the large army of devils, those who are not afraid of death come with me, and those who do not want to go retreat quickly"!

After speaking, none of these soldiers left, but said: "Company commander, what do you say?"

"We sing the March of the Volunteers, break through to the north, and attract the attention of the devils"!
