Chapter 76: Attacking the Horse Village
Boom Boom Boom !! ”
Wang Chengzhu personally commanded the artillery to use several Type 92 infantry guns and at least 10 mortars captured from the Japanese troops on the north road of the 2nd Division to carry out a fierce bombardment of the Devil's outlying positions near the entrance of the south village of Mazhuang Village.
The whistling shells with a long tail flame kept smashing down in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 16th Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Brigade of the Little Devil in the south of the village.
In the heavy snow, countless cannonballs exploded into the ground like hailstones. The tremendous power of the shells tore through the snow and mud, and it was impossible for the main Japanese forces on the southern route of the 2nd Devil's Division, which had hastily retreated to Mazhuang, to build fortifications like reinforced concrete.
Most of the simple fortifications on the periphery of Mazhuang are some trenches and infantry fortifications built with sacks of earth. These fortifications could not stop the powerful bombardment of artillery shells at all.
Sure enough, at this time, the devil's defensive position on the southern periphery of Mazhuang Village was bombed with artillery fire, and the smoke of gunpowder suddenly filled everywhere.
According to the more than 1,000 devils of the 16th Infantry Brigade of the 1st Infantry Wing of the devils guarding the south of the village, they were suppressed to death by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire.
Although the little devil in the south of the village also had an artillery team, he didn't fire a cannon counterattack for a minute, and was quickly beaten back by Wang Chengzhu according to the trajectory of the devil's artillery attack.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao had already commanded a battalion to launch a battle formation, and stepped on the barrage blast point made by Wang Chengzhu to kill him.
"Brothers, kill me! Attack the Horse Village! Kill! ”
Under the command of Zhang Dabiao, the commanders and fighters of the first battalion and the first-line companies shouted one after another, and the command post rushed over when they stepped on the shell explosion point fired by Wang Chengzhu.
The first battalion and the artillery team's infantry and artillery coordination are already very familiar, especially the first battalion, most of which are veterans of the new regiment, even some soldiers who have just been added to the first battalion are under the leadership of veterans, as long as they do not pretend to be forced on the battlefield.
If you want to cooperate well with the actions of artillery, there is basically no big problem with the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination.
Sure enough, the coordination of the infantry artillery fired by the 1st Battalion of the 1st New Regiment and Wang Chengzhu's artillery team suddenly made the corner of Akamatsu Taro, the captain of the 16th Infantry Wing of the 16th Infantry Wing of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, who was defending the south of Mazhuang Village, twitch at the corners of his mouth.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Several mortar shells whistled and landed near Taro Akamatsu's headquarters, and dust fell on the headquarters of the old devil.
Under the blowing of the cold wind, Akamatsu Taro is also a spirit.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's infantry artillery is so familiar with the coordination, and it is a bit troublesome now.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, Your Excellency Shaozuo, the left flank of the 1st Squadron has been lost! The enemy launched a fierce attack on the defensive position at the entrance of the village in the middle of us from the left flank! The second squadron at the entrance of the village asks for reinforcements! ”
Without waiting for Akamatsu Taro to complain, at this time, a devil herald hurriedly ran in from the entrance of the brigade department, and reported with a roar.
Akamatsu Taro's eyes suddenly pierced when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly became solemn, "Yaga Yalu, is there no one in the new group who bullied me in the Akamatsu brigade?" Order the 2nd Squadron to hold its position, and order the reserve of 300 people to recapture the left flank position with all its might! ”
"Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" When the devil's herald received the reply, he immediately paused his head, and then hurried out of the door of the devil's brigade headquarters to deliver the order.
At this time, after Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire blew up the left flank position of the devils, Zhang Dabiao was very excited, and personally commanded a company to kill from the left flank of the devils' position.
Since most of the soldiers of the first battalion were also equipped with submachine guns and light machine guns at this time, the firepower of the assault charge was extremely fierce.
Although the devils of the squadrons of the Akamatsu Brigade, who were guarding the south of the village, occupied the trenches and other infantry fortifications they had built to wait for the new regiment to attack, even Akamatsu Taro did not expect that the assault fire of Zhang Dabiao's battalion and line infantry was so ferocious.
Stepping on the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, the soldiers of the first battalion, especially the first company, who blasted through the gap from the left flank position of the devils, with the cover of the submachine guns in their hands and a number of light machine guns, broke the left flank position of the devils in the south of Mazhuang Village at once.
And once they entered the left flank position, the devils in the trenches were killed by the soldiers of a battalion and a company with a shuttle of bullets from assault fire such as submachine guns.
Most of the infantry of the little devils are armed with Type 38 rifles, and once they are close to each other, they are not at all the opponents of the new regiment of fighters armed with submachine guns.
In the left flank position in the south of Mazhuang Village, most of the devils who were killed had been frozen in the cold weather like a statue.
When the Japanese position defending the left flank south of Mazhuang Village was completely captured by the new regiment, battalion and company, Zhang Dabiao commanded the headquarters of the first company and cooperated with the offensive of other companies to detour to the rear of the devil's position at the entrance of the village to attack the devils on both sides.
However, Akamatsu Taro moved quickly, and directly sent out all the more than 300 Japanese troops in the reserve, because Akamatsu Taro understood that the left flank position in the south of the village was lost. If Zhang Dabiao's roundabout attack could not be blocked, then there would be no point in holding the reserves in their hands.
Is it possible to keep the cubs in your hands?
Soon, more than 300 reserves in the hands of Akamatsu Taro hurriedly reinforced in the direction of the left flank, and happened to encounter a battalion and a company that attacked the devil's position at the entrance of the village, that is, in the south of Mazhuang Village.
A big battle broke out between the two sides, and the reinforced wave of devil reserves did not expect that the number of submachine guns in the hands of the soldiers of the new regiment, battalion, and company encountered head-on was so large.
"Brothers, call me!" When the commander of the first battalion and the first company encountered the devils and most of the men and horses to kill the left flank, both sides were stunned for a moment, but the commander of the first company had a quick brain, and roared directly, and the submachine gun in his hand was also the first to hit it.
"Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden !!!"
The red-hot submachine gun bullets were shot out with a shuttle, and at least seven or eight devils were killed by the commander of a battalion and a company at once.
You must know that the distance between the two sides meeting face to face at this time is less than 20 meters. Most of the submachine guns in the hands of the commander of the first battalion and the first company were Jin-made submachine guns, with an effective firing range of more than 200 meters.
And at such a close distance now, the firepower of the submachine gun can kill a lot of devil soldiers at close range with a direct shuttle.
Sure enough, with the roar of the commander of the first battalion and the first company, the new group of soldiers who came back to their senses immediately pulled the trigger as long as they had submachine guns in their hands, and they attacked the devil soldiers who ran against the black pressure on the opposite side.
"Bagaya Road, fight back, fight back, kill Jirp!" The devil commander who led the reinforcements also roared angrily and ordered his devil soldiers to fight back.
It's just that the morale of the company is strong, and most of the submachine guns in his hands are blows, and a wave of fierce fire strikes has already killed a lot of devils.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao had already taken advantage of the situation to command the other battalions, companies and units, and under the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, he concentrated his forces to break through the devil position at the entrance of the village, and then directly hit the headquarters of Akamatsu Taro, who had not many troops to defend, and a grenade directly blew up Akamatsu Taro and other devil officers hiding in the command headquarters!
With the death of the devil officers of the Akamatsu Taro and other brigades, Zhang Dabiao led a battalion to break through the devil position in the south of Mazhuang Village and completely slaughtered the Mazhuang.
