Chapter 298: The 53rd Brigade of the Devil Annihilation!
"But at this time, if we don't force our way south and continue here, the firepower of the enemy's ambush is enough to completely strangle us."
Kitano Takusai also pointed to the surroundings of the rain and fog with a wry smile, and said: "In this case, the enemy's artillery fire has continued, I am afraid that the enemy's ammunition is very sufficient, and it is impossible to finish the fight after we are all annihilated!" In this way, our troops had no choice but to forcibly break through and go south. ”。
At this time, the shells that came from nowhere fell at close range around the pit where the two old devils were hiding, and the huge explosion power blew up the corpses of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers guarding the pit all over the field.
Sugigamataro had been watching the enemy artillery fire in ambush so fierce that it had been going on for a long time, and the accuracy of the shelling was so high that most of the shells fell on the flat ground. This shows that the enemy troops in ambush had long known the news of their departure from Datong.
Thinking of this, Sugi Kamataro also had to admit Kitano Takusai's decision, and if he continued to stay, he could only be annihilated by the opponent's ambush gun fire. If you force a breakthrough, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.
"Brigade commander, we have less than two thousand imperial troops left. There was only one chance to break through, and the enemy forces in the south occupied the high ground and held back with condescending fire. Once you can't rush through, after retreating, there is no time to turn to defense! ”
Sugigataro said with a solemn expression, the place where the ambush was ambushed was in a triangular basin terrain, with the Sangan River to the north, and the higher hills on the east and west flanks, which was the best place for ambush in itself.
And for them, at this time the strength was already less than two thousand, and all the remnants of the army were concentrated to forcibly break through to the south. Once the breakthrough is unsuccessful, there is no second chance.
However, in the midst of the rumbling gunfire, Kitano Takusai had already clenched his palms, "It's impossible to hold on and wait for reinforcements, the enemy who ambushed us has too much firepower and too many troops!" Messengers, concentrate forces, and prepare to break through. Deploy all the light and heavy machine guns, as well as the submachine guns directly equipped with the brigade and regiment, and other melee rapid firepower at the front of the charge, and the rest of the rear infantry will follow! ”
"Hai, brigade commander, I understand!"
Sugigataro paused heavily, and then immediately took a few people out to give orders.
At this time, although the remnants of the devils of the 37th Brigade of the 53rd Division had stabilized their positions. However, there were no more guards around Kitano Takusai, and Sugi Kamataro could only take a few devil soldiers to go out to give orders in person, and command all departments to move closer to the south, preparing to carry out the combat operation of forcibly breaking through.
At this time, Li Yunlong stood on the commanding heights of the mountains behind the southern blocking position, condescendingly holding a telescope in the bunker headquarters to observe the fierce battle in the triangular basin below.
The rain and fog are still continuous, and the visibility is only more than ten meters. Therefore, Li Yunlong concentrated all the light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns and deployed them closest to the edge of the triangular basin to give full play to the firepower advantage in an instant. The rest of the rifles, the artillery fire is far away, after all, the visibility is like this, and it can only be deployed like this.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
"Da !!"
The sound of gunfire continued, and the new fire of the ambush hit the devil soldiers of the 53rd Brigade of the Japanese Army who were being pressed and beaten from all sides.
Screams continued to come from the rain and fog, but Li Yunlong also saw some Japanese troops rushing out of the rain and fog, trying to attack the new group of fighters in the ambush position. However, in such unfavorable terrain conditions, it was already crippled by a shuttle bullet long before approaching the ambush position. Sanjiu Chinese Network
"Report to the regiment commander, each department reports the number of enemies destroyed, and the remnants of the Japanese army in the ambush circle may be less than 2,000 people left! In addition, according to the observation information sent by the guerrillas in the base areas of our Eighth Route Army along the Sanggan River, the headquarters of the 31st Brigade of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army had already set out from Shenjing Town and marched westward along the south bank of the Sanggan River. It was judged that it should have received an urgent call for help from the ambushed 53 Brigade. Footsteps sounded from behind Li Yunlong, and a regimental staff officer hurriedly came and reported to Li Yunlong excitedly.
Li Yunlong bowed his head and laughed: "Order all troops, hurry up and beat me hard!" Don't skimp on ammunition and tell them that we have ammunition and plenty of time. When the 110th Brigade of the 31st Division of the Devil arrived here, the corpses of the 53rd Brigade of the Devil were only able to be collected! Hahaha! ”。
"Yes, Captain." The staff officer of the regiment headquarters also smiled, and at this time in the battle, the situation was already clear, and the Japanese army under Kitano Takusai had no chance of breaking out of the encirclement.
What Li Yunlong didn't expect was that Kitano Takusai was ready to concentrate all his forces and forcibly break through to the south at one time after learning that the remnants of the army were less than 2,000 people.
In the basin, Kitano Takusai, who was hiding in the dirt pit, saw Sugi Kasuma Taro who was deployed in place, "Sugi Pu-kun, has the order been in place?" How many troops do we have left at the moment? ”
"Brigade commander, I personally count the remaining strength of the various units, and we are currently suffering huge casualties. In fact, there are only about 1,600 people left! Ammunition was already enough to carry out only one forced breakout. Once the breakthrough is unsuccessful and we are back, our ammunition will only be able to hold out for about ten minutes. The ambushed enemy concentrated artillery fire and blew up our baggage troops first in the first place. Otherwise, we will stubbornly wait for reinforcements, and we will still have a success waiting for reinforcements to arrive! ”
Sugigataro reported breathlessly, with a sad expression.
The rain and fog were mixed with gunsmoke, and Kitano Takusai didn't see Sugigataro's helplessness and wry smile.
"Sonorous !!"
When Kitano Takusai heard this, he waved the katana in his hand fiercely, slashed down to the south, and roared angrily: "Kill and rush!" ”。
"Hurry up, keep up with the brigade commander!"
Seeing this, Sugigataro could only roar angrily, and the devil remnants of the 53rd Brigade of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, which had already secretly taken advantage of the rain and fog, were under the cover of the rapid fire of submachine guns, light machine guns and other light weapons, and shouted the slogan of the squad to the south.
The Japanese army on the battlefield suddenly roared and charged south, and Li Yunlong saw it from the misty rain and fog for the first time!
"Made, Kitano Takusai wants to force a breakthrough from the south. Tell Zhou Hua of the independent battalion to resolutely block it. Phone! Li Yunlong ordered to a regimental staff officer who sent troops, and then quickly picked up the field phone on a table in the bunker headquarters, "The troops ambushed on both flanks, hurry up, you can charge down the mountain and outflank Kitano Takusai's rear road!" Kill! ”
"Yes, Captain!" Several battalion commanders received a call from Li Yunlong and immediately took action.
At this time, Kitano Takusai had already commanded the remnants to break out of the rain and fog and move south to the southern blocking position of the independent battalion. It has to be said that under the command of Kitano Takusai, more than 1,600 remnants of the Japanese soldiers rushed violently towards the blocking position of the independent battalion one by one.
Li Yunlong, who was condescendingly observing, saw that the independent battalion was almost broken through several positions by devils, and immediately threw the 1,000 reserves in his hands into it. Subsequently, Duan Peng's special combat team and Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion were ordered to immediately launch operations to strike at the Japanese breakout troops.
Kitano Takusai desperately commanded the remnants of the Japanese army to charge fiercely, but under the combined attack of the independent battalion, more than 1,000 reserves sent by Li Yunlong, and other ambush troops, he still could not rush out. On the way to break through, one by one the remnants of the devil soldiers were killed, and the corpses were all over the field, and in less than five minutes, the remnants of the devils commanded by Kitano Takusai were all wiped out on the way to the charge and break through.
