Chapter 772: Taniguchi Fierce Battle (Subscription Requested)
Seeing Yusuke Dohi leave, Yoshio Shinozuka's face quickly turned ugly.
"Bagaya Road, I didn't expect this to happen! Damn it! ”
Yoshio Shinozuka thought bitterly in his heart that the enemy army that suddenly appeared was likely to be the Eighth Route Army troops that attacked Pingxingguan.
It's just that for Yoshio Shinozuka, he didn't expect so many people to return to the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge.
For a while, a bit of a situation of losing all the games appeared.
Without thinking about it any more, Yoshio Shinozuka personally sent an order to Ichiro Nanata and Keisuke Ishino, commanding all units to continue to maintain a continuous attack on the defenders of the new regiment of Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge.
It's just that in the order, Yoshio Shinozuka no longer asks for a strong attack, but wants the two Japanese troops to maintain their viability, and temporarily wait for Yoshio Shinozuka to remove the threat of the troops commanded by Li Yunlong from the direction of the valley mouth of the Jinlong Gorge before implementing the plan of storming Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge.
At this time, on Hutou Mountain, Zhao Gang had already contacted Li Yunlong through the walkie-talkie.
I saw Zhao Gang standing on the top of a hillside in Hutou Mountain, condescendingly observing the battle situation in Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge.
Due to Li Yunlong's sudden attack, Yoshio Shinozuka did not dare to strictly order the two Japanese troops of Nanata Ichiro and Ishino Keisuke to continue to storm Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge. Instead, he ordered the two Japanese troops to attack no longer strongly, but to maintain the attack on Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge with a small force.
The emergence of this situation made Zhao Gang believe that at this time, after Li Yunlong had already attacked the Japanese troops guarding the valley mouth of the Jinlong Gorge, Yoshio Shinozuka finally felt the danger.
"Haha, Lao Li, the little devil's attack on Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge is not so violent. Now, according to Shen Qun, the commander of the second battalion guarding Cuiping Peak, and Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion guarding Tianfeng Ridge, both of them reported, the offensive of the little devils is no longer fierce. Moreover, according to Ma Wenhai's report, some of the Japanese troops who attacked them showed signs of retreating in the direction of Yunge Hongqiao. It is estimated that Yoshio Shinozuka dispatched a part of the Japanese army that attacked Tianfengling to return to the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge valley. ”
Zhao Gang took the walkie-talkie and smiled at Li Yunlong on the other end.
Li Yunlong was standing less than two hundred and fifty meters away from the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge at this time, half-squatting behind a hillside, "Haha, it seems that Yoshio Shinozuka is in a hurry." According to the latest information, we intercepted a telegram sent by Yoshio Shinozuka to Taiyuan. Yoshio Shinozuka had urgently ordered Taro Miyano, who was staying in Taiyuan, to immediately order the Japanese Fifth Air Force at Taiyuan Airport to dispatch and fly to the sky over Hengshan Mountain to cover them in the air. I think Yoshio Shinozuka is ready to break through. ”
"Then Lao Li, how do you fight?" Zhao Gang smiled at Li Yunlong on the other end of the walkie-talkie.
Li Yunlong took the walkie-talkie and said with a smile: "Of course I'm ready to attack." In this way, I command four battalions, one battalion and an independent battalion and other horses, and now I have more than three thousand men in my hands, and the battle to storm the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge is already underway. I estimate that within fifteen minutes, we should be able to capture the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge Canyon! Hehe, at that time, the remnants of the Japanese army commanded by Yoshio Shinozuka could only be reduced to a turtle in an urn. ”。
"Okay, I'll keep in touch with you Lao Li at any time. When the time comes, once the mouth of the canyon valley is recovered by your Lao Li, Yoshio Shinozuka will not be able to run if he wants to. ”
Li Yunlong nodded, and said to Zhao Gang on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "That's it!" ”。
Throwing the walkie-talkie to Wei Dayong, the guard on the side, Li Yunlong picked up the binoculars and observed the battle at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge.
At this time, the battle at the mouth of the valley has entered a white-hot stage, and in the midst of the rumbling guns, Wang Chengzhu, the captain of the new artillery regiment dispatched with the army, is commanding the artillery soldiers under his command, and concentrating all the mortars on the little devil's guard troops at the mouth of the valley with swift movements to carry out a fierce bombardment of the little devil's guard troops at the mouth of the canyon.
"Target, two hundred and sixty meters away, zero zero and seven to the left, plus three to the height. Volley, prepare, put !! ”
Wang Chengzhu stood on the side of the artillery fighters and shouted loudly at the soldiers holding the command flag on the side.
As a rumbling cannon sound came out from the muzzle of the mortar, the whistling shells with a long tail flame fiercely bombarded the Japanese troops who were stubbornly defending the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge.
"Knock Knock Knock !!" The shells rumbled, and in less than a few seconds, the distance was very close, and the shells whistled down on the Japanese positions at the mouth of the canyon.
"Boom, boom!!!"
Shells rained down, and immediately exploded in clouds of smoke and gunsmoke. In the smoke of gunpowder, the Japanese troops who were stubbornly defending the mouth of the canyon were bombed, and the screams were heard one after another.
At this time, the Japanese commander Watanabe Taiichiro, who was waiting for reinforcements in the Japanese army, was terrified, and the place where he was hiding was also hit by at least three or four shells, and he almost reimbursed Watanabe Taiichiro.
If it weren't for a Japanese guard next to him desperately pounced on Watanabe's body, the old devil would have been blown to pieces by several mortar shells.
"Bagaya Road !!!"
Taiichiro Watanabe scolded and pushed away the little devil guards who had already been blown up, and his eyes looked at the new group of soldiers who were attacking in front, and his scalp suddenly went numb.
The dense new group of fighters attacked in a very orderly manner, and under the cover of the light and heavy machine guns on both flanks and the front, they rushed over after stepping on the shells fired by Wang Chengzhu.
The Japanese soldiers who were defending to the death on the front line had been overwhelmed by this fierce fighting style, and there were already many casualties.
At this time, Watanabe's adjutant urgently touched Watanabe's side and said urgently: "Sir, the forward position has been lost." Reinforcements haven't arrived yet? We are almost overwhelmed, and there are less than 200 men left. ”。
"Baga, resist it for me! His Excellency the Commander has sent troops back to Taniguchi's aid. Taiichiro Watanabe grabbed the lieutenant by the collar and roared.
Without waiting for the adjutant to answer, Taiichiro Watanabe suddenly saw a thousand Japanese soldiers behind him, led by Yoshio Shinozuka's chief of staff Yusuke Tohi, hurriedly coming from the Yunkaku Hongqiao through the plank road to Taniguchi.
Seeing that he didn't have time to talk to Taiichiro Watanabe, Yusuke Dohi commanded more than 1,000 Japanese troops to enter the position and counterattack the attacking new regiment.
"Dada, dada, dada!!!!"
The dense Type 92 heavy machine guns and the little devils' own light machine guns were set up on the front and its two flanks, and they launched a fierce counterattack against the attacking new regiment of men and horses.
Because some of the soldiers rushed too hard, and I didn't expect Yusuke Dohi to lead his troops back so quickly.
A part of the troops that rushed too fast were hit by the machine gun fire of the little devils on the spot and suffered heavy casualties, and for a while, at least dozens of casualties were killed and wounded in a short period of time.
And Zhang Dabiao, Zhou Hua, He Yongjie and others, who were the front-line commanders of the battle, immediately realized that something was wrong.
They all ordered the men and horses of all units not to rush too fiercely, but under the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire and dozens of light and heavy machine guns, they attacked and advanced towards the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge.
