Chapter 87: Kill Hiroshi Yamada!
Knowing that, report to the regiment commander, and say that the fourth battalion has been increasing its attack efforts, and together with the other battalions, they will encircle and attack the remnants of the Japanese army under the jurisdiction of Yamada Hao! ”
He Yongjie waved his hand and said in a condensed voice, casually touched a handful of snow on the ground, washed his face, and was sober and sober.
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
The herald left in response, and at this time, He Yongjie sobered up with the cold snow, and then picked up the telescope to observe the battle situation in front of him!
From the binoculars, it can be seen that the remnants of the devils who hurriedly retreated south were fighting and retreating, but after retreating into Mazhuang, relying on the dense and narrow streets in the village, the remnants of the Japanese army such as Miokuma Jiro quickly built fortifications and fought brutal street battles with the fourth battalion.
Even He Yongjie had to admit that the little devil soldiers of the main forces of the Japanese army on the south route of the 2nd Division were not weak in street fighting.
At least all the Japanese troops under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Division are the elite of the Japanese army, and their military quality is not comparable to that of ordinary third-rate Japanese troops!
Although it has been completely surrounded by Li Yunlong's commanded troops, under the command of Yamada Hiroshi and Sakamoto Hiroaki and other devil officers, they were stunned to rely on the dense buildings and narrow streets in the horse village to build many fortifications, and the street battles were also fought with a clear eye.
He Yongjie led more than 1,500 people from the fourth battalion all the way, leaving hundreds of guerrillas and artillery units to defend the dozen or so hills north of Mazhuang that had been raided and captured, but pursued the remnants of the Japanese army such as Miokuma Jiro.
It's just that as the little devil fled into the village, relying on the dense buildings and narrow streets in the village, it was able to block the fierce pursuit and offensive of the four battalions.
Now it's no wonder that the little devil is on the defensive, and he didn't force a breakthrough to the west again, looking like he was stubbornly defending, it turned out to be supported by the power of airdrop supplies!
It's a pity that the devils in the village are being blocked and beaten by everyone, and they are constantly killing devil soldiers, even if there are airdrop supplies, there are not many little devils left at that time.
"Made, order the brothers, fight steadily, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns are all on the front line, and the machine gunners behind the riflemen who snipe the machine guns of the little devils at a distance! Fast!!!! Greeting the company commanders directly under the battalion headquarters, pointing to the little devils on the street in front, He Yongjie said loudly to the company commanders.
The company commanders of the four battalions immediately said in unison: "Understood, battalion commander!! ”。
He Yongjie nodded, and then with a wave of his hand, he commanded all units to speed up the attack, and gnawed away the little devils blocking the various departments of the fourth battalion on the attack route street by street.
Not only the headquarters of the fourth battalion, but also the headquarters of the second battalion Shen Qun who attacked from the east of Mazhuang, the headquarters of Ma Wenhai of the third battalion that attacked and blocked from the west of Mazhuang, and the headquarters of Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion that attacked and first attacked the village from the south of Mazhuang, all the troops and horses marched bravely, using submachine guns and light machine guns as the main charging and attacking weapons, crushing the remnants of the Japanese army commanded by Yamada Hao in Mazhuang.
In the streets of the horse village, the sound of cannons continued, and a shuttle of bullets whistled and smashed at the little devil.
Since there were no civilians in Mazhuang, Li Yunlong directly ordered all artillery, mortars and other heavy artillery bombardment to cover the infantry attack. Even if the horse village is blown up, when the time comes, after the war, the new regiment can compensate the people of the horse village.
After all, in the previous battle and capture of the elite troops of the little devils, the new regiment also seized some of the devil's assets, and it was still possible to casually take out some things to compensate for the damage of the common people in the battle of Mazhuang.
Therefore, in the face of some sturdy buildings in Mazhuang, after a greeting, the shells rained down, and the devils who were hiding behind the attack suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the Japanese army was already in turmoil.
The new regiment besieging them was not the Chinese army, guerrillas, or anything they had met before, but an elite Eighth Route Army unit. In particular, the powerful submachine gun and machine gun fire of the new regiment crushed them, which frightened the Japanese troops from all walks of life, who already despised the new regiment so much, that the firepower of the other side was too strong.
At this time, Hiroshi Yamada, together with the commander of the 3rd Brigade, Hiroaki Sakamoto, boarded the roof of another house for temporary retreat, carefully avoiding the artillery fire on the hill north of Mazhuang, while holding a telescope to look around.
I saw that in Hiroshi Yamada's telescope, there were already new regiments of men and horses killed everywhere, and there were brutal street battles in the dense buildings all over the streets of Shonai.
The sound of guns and guns and shouts of killing was deafening, but the shouts of killing and the sound of guns and cannons of the Japanese army themselves gradually weakened, while the shouts of killing and the guns fired by the weapons of the new regiment were still the same as after the start of the battle, and there was no sign of abating.
"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Yamada Hao secretly scolded in his heart, so it seems that Li Yunlong's troops are greatly boosted, and the attack is getting stronger and stronger.
If you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements! What's more, the transport plane that airdropped supplies has not sounded until now!
The commander of the 3rd Brigade, Hiroaki Sakamoto, who was hiding from the sidelines and observing, approached Yamada Hao at this time and said in a condensed voice: "General, the situation is not optimistic!" At present, it seems that our position has been shrinking, and the various departments have reported that the enemy has increased artillery fire, and the opponent has too many submachine guns, and in the street fighting, our rifles cannot play as well as they should! ”。
"There's no way around that, even if you force a breakthrough now, you don't have the strength to stand out. How many more do we have at the moment? ”
Hiroaki Sakamoto said: "General, according to the reports of various ministries, the preliminary estimate of the humble post is that there are only about three thousand left!" Moreover, all departments have reported that ammunition is running out, and if the transport planes of the 3rd Air Brigade at Datong Airport do not fly to the sky over Mazhuang within 10 minutes to drop supplies, our soldiers will only be able to fight with a new group of hand-to-hand combat with rifles that have run out of bullets. ”。
"Damn! Order all the departments to defend to the end. The airdrop is coming soon, so let all the soldiers hold on! ”
Yamada Hao also had no choice, and at this time, the radio station could not contact the Japanese transport plane, so Yamada Hao did not know whether the current fleet of Japanese transport planes taking off from Datong Airport had flown towards Mazhuang.
For now, it's on your own.
It's just that without waiting for Hiroaki Sakamoto to speak, suddenly a violent explosion exploded under the command headquarters where the two old devils were.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Not good, General, our position has been discovered by enemy troops, get off the roof!" Hiroaki Sakamoto grabbed Hiroshi Yamada, and the dense cannonballs kept whistling, and it was obvious that they were hiding on the roof and carefully observing the battle situation, but they were still discovered by the other party.
This burst of heavy artillery fire must have come from the other side.
It's just that Hiroaki Sakamoto pulled Yamada Hiroshi hard, but Yamada Hiroshi didn't move. Until Hiroaki Sakamoto was uneasy, he took a closer look, only to see that at some point, shrapnel from several shells had pierced Hiroshi Yamada's head.
Even Hiroshi Yamada with a steel helmet was still blown up, and the shrapnel fragments exploded the old devil's head.
And Yamada Hiroshi has already been killed, so Hiroaki Sakamoto has no way to pull Yamada Hiroshi, and this Yamada Hiroshi can be regarded as being killed!
