Chapter 251: Siege and Pursuit

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The explosion sounded, the retreating formation of the Japanese army was suddenly blocked by fire, and the heavy machine gun positions on both sides were also fiercely attacked by the artillery of the new 11th Division. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On both sides of the hillside, the light and heavy machine guns deployed also opened fire with all their might, whistling bullets into the crowd of Japanese soldiers.

In the dense rain of bullets, the retreating formation of the Japanese army was finally blocked, and at this time, Yang Sen picked up the phone and said: "Order, the whole army will stop the retreat of the Japanese army at all costs, and cooperate with the brother troops to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army!" ”

"Yes"!

As the order was issued, the soldiers of the 20th Army took a detour to re-block the encirclement, and more than 2,000 Japanese troops were surrounded in the encirclement.

With so many troops, the Japanese army naturally would not give up easily, and the withdrawn Japanese army soon launched a counteroffensive, trying to tear open this hole and rescue the encircled Japanese army!

The Japanese troops in the encirclement were also frantically storming the positions of the 20th Army, trying to break through this temporary defense line with few fortifications in one fell swoop!

The fierce battle started again, but the 20th Army under the personal command of Yang Hanyu, the officers and men of the whole army resisted desperately, and some Japanese soldiers even rushed to the position but were pressed back by the fire again. Behind the position, a regiment of the Twentieth Army was still facing a frantic attack by the forces of two brigades, and the fighting on both sides almost reached a white-hot point.

"Order the artillery to give support, the 31st Regiment and the 32nd Regiment cooperate with the encirclement and annihilation, and the 33rd Regiment supports the 20th Army!" Lu Daoyuan picked up the phone and said.

Soon, dozens of mountain guns corrected their coordinates again and began to aim at the Japanese troops who were coming to the rescue outside the encirclement, and one shell after another bombarded the Japanese formation, and many Japanese soldiers were blown to the ground under the fierce shelling. At this time, a battalion of the 33rd Regiment quickly joined the defense line of the Sichuan army, and the soldiers of Sichuan and Yunnan, who were once mortal enemies, were doing it back to back at this moment, shoulder to shoulder, fighting together for a common goal!

A battalion of the 33rd Regiment had strong firepower, with six or seven Hatch Keys and more than 20 light machine guns firing fiercely, and the bullets of the heavy machine guns were roaring and harvesting the lives of the Japanese soldiers who charged up.

At this moment, on a hillside on the side, the second battalion of the 33rd Regiment also opened fire from the side, and the crossfire formed by the machine guns almost enveloped most of the battlefield.

The Japanese offensive gradually weakened, but the fierce battle in the encirclement had just begun, and the Japanese army seemed to be able to break out of the encirclement, but after all, they did not rush out, and they were about to be surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese army, so these Japanese troops naturally began to fight to the death.

Both sides opened fire, the whole battlefield was full of whistling bullets, and there were explosions everywhere, and many Japanese soldiers fell in the melee, and many Chinese soldiers were shot and killed.

"Da Da Da!"

The three heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were still blocking the charging route of our troops, and the soldiers who had just got up were greeted by the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, causing seven or eight casualties in a few seconds.

On the hillside, Li Fan put down his binoculars and said, "Do you see those three heavy machine guns?" Knock him out for me! ”

"Battalion commander, we only have four shells, so we can't be sure!" An artilleryman panicked.

Li Fan put down the binoculars and said, "You guys are looking for any other important targets, I'll come here with these three heavy machine guns!" ”

Saying that, Li Fan walked quickly to the mortar and began to correct the coordinates, and after a while, he picked up a shell and put it in!

"Boom!"

There was only a crisp sound of discharge, and a shell flew out violently, and the artillerymen in the field opened their eyes wide, and at this moment a nest of heavy machine guns on the front exploded violently.

"Good!" The artillery in the field cheered one after another, but at this time, Li Fan began to correct the coordinates again, and then stuffed another shell into it, and in the roar, another Japanese heavy machine gun was blown up, and the heavy machine gun fire on the Japanese defense line suddenly weakened, and when the last heavy machine gun was still whistling, another shell whistled and smashed down!

"Boom!"

In the roar, the Japanese machine-gun position exploded violently, and it was at this time that Lu Hai categorically ordered: "Prepare grenades, bayonets!" ”

The soldiers in the field put their bayonets on one after another, quickly opened the lid of the grenade, and after a minute, Lu Hai turned around and glanced at the soldiers who were already ready, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the shouts and killings on the positions suddenly became loud, and the Chinese troops hidden in various positions charged towards the Japanese positions in battle formation.

I want to say here that the charge is not a crowd tactic, not a group of popular mountains and rivers like in film and television dramas, but a straggler charge in various battle formations, the real crowd tactics have proven undesirable during World War I, after all, the huge casualties of the British army losing 56,000 a day also completely explain everything.

The charge was launched, and all parts of the charge had light machine guns to strafe the way, and just when they rushed into the Japanese defense line for 30 meters, many soldiers tacitly pulled grenades and threw them into the Japanese formation.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Explosions rang out on the position, and the fighting unfolded violently, and soldiers rushed into the Japanese position with bayonets in their hands...

"Quick! If you can't find it, you can't shoot it! Li Fan said anxiously, Lu Hai under the mountain and they have already been in close contact with the forward troops of the Japanese army, and there is no need to fire the cannon when they are completely strangled together, because a shell is likely to blow up their brothers.

The soldiers in the field are also searching, but it is difficult to find any valuable targets in the chaos of the battlefield, and there are only soldiers of the two armies who are constantly fighting in front of them.

Li Fan was also anxious, grabbed the telescope and began to search, the two armies on the forward position of the Japanese army have already launched a fierce white-knuckle battle, but the main position has not yet formally clashed, so the valuable target will naturally be found from the depth.

But at this time, the sound of artillery on the Japanese position also began to sound, and one after another small-caliber grenades smashed into the crowd of charging troops!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In the sound of the explosion, many of the charging soldiers were blown up, Li Fan hurriedly raised the telescope and looked for a moment, and suddenly found that there was a Japanese mortar position that was firing on the main position of the Japanese army.

Li Fan raised his thumb and estimated for a moment, corrected the mortar again, and said, "Cannonball!" ”

A soldier hurriedly handed over a cannonball, and Li Fan took the cannonball and stuffed it with almost no hesitation!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

This shell actually exploded on the Japanese artillery position, and the explosion of this shell did not matter, the important thing was that this shell miraculously hit a box of shells of the Japanese artillery.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

......

A series of violent explosions sounded, and these Japanese soldiers flew directly to the sky to see the emperor in the explosion, and the main firepower of the Japanese army was also destroyed one after another!

The Japanese heavy machine gun and mortar positions were destroyed, and they also lost their more advantageous blocking weapons, and the follow-up charging troops continued to charge at various positions of the Japanese army!

At this time, Yang Sen resolutely ordered: "Order the troops to cooperate with the charge to encircle and annihilate this group of Japanese troops!" ”

"Yes!"

About one main regiment of the Sichuan army also joined the battle group, the strength of the two armies has reached twice that of the Japanese army, the Japanese army now has no air support, no artillery, no large amount of machine gun fire, in this case, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is naturally lost by more than half, in front of the numerically superior Chinese army, it is just making the last resistance!

However, the final resistance is often the most tenacious and the most tragic, these Japanese troops opened fire in the face of the charging soldiers, and the Chinese troops continued to die on the way to the charge, but the front fell and the rear continued, and the Japanese positions were finally submerged by the sea of people, and many places opened up their positions and began a white-knuckle battle.

The two sides were on the position, bayonet to bayonet, Burmese knife blade to katana, and the blood-boiling shouts of killing almost shook the entire Yingzhu Mountain.

Before I knew it, the hot blood had dyed the entire position red, and there were Chinese and Japanese soldiers fighting everywhere, dripping blood everywhere, and corpses everywhere, soldiers stabbed to death with bayonets, Japanese soldiers with their heads chopped off by knives, stumps and broken arms everywhere...

At this time, the strength of a large group of Japanese troops did not begin to break through to the defense line where the encirclement was located, but began to return to the original road, but this time it was unexpected, the deployment on the way back was relatively weak, and the Japanese troops broke through smoothly towards the way they came, and soon the Japanese army of more than 1,000 people broke free again.

On the hillside, Lu Daoyuan hurriedly picked up the phone and shook it when he saw the Japanese army breaking through in reverse: "Commander, I'm Lu Daoyuan!" ”

"A large group of Japanese troops is coming towards you in reverse, and I ask to send troops to surround it, so I will send troops to pursue it!" Lu Daoyuan said.

"Okay, I'll give the order, and your ministry is responsible for guiding!" Sun Du agreed.

"Yes!"

"Order, the 29th Regiment and the 28th Regiment will move to the position where the 20th Army is located, block the breakthrough of the Japanese army, and be sure to annihilate them!"

"Yes!"

"Order, the 31st Regiment quickly got rid of the Japanese troops pursued by the Japanese troops, and cooperated with the new 10th Division to encircle and annihilate them!" Lu Daoyuan said.

After receiving the order, Lu Hai also hurriedly spoke: "Order, the first battalion quickly gets rid of the entanglement and pursues the Japanese army, and the second battalion is responsible for covering!" ”

"Yes"

After the order was issued, Lu Hai led his 31st Regiment and began to pursue in the direction of the Japanese fleeing, and the 2nd Battalion was responsible for blocking the follow-up troops of the Japanese army, so as to ensure the rapid mobility of the troops.

Lu Hai and his team encountered some scattered Japanese blocks, but the Japanese army's blocking did not achieve corresponding results under the fire of one battalion, and the follow-up second battalion was also responsible for breaking off the cover to ensure the rapid departure of the first battalion.

Ten minutes later, the 31st Regiment pursued in the direction of the Japanese fleeing... (To be continued.) )
