Chapter 378: Attack and Capture of Dongguan
"Understood, Brigadier Commander!" Everyone smiled, and they all understood what Li Yunlong meant.
In the Qinxi Mountain area south of Pingxingguan, although the mountains are steep, the road is difficult to walk. But it's still okay to send an elite force to sneak around the flank of the path.
So, Li Yunlong pointed to the military map that was laid out and ordered: "In this way, take the path that can go around the back of Pingxingguan, and the big guys will know it." Zhang Dabiao! ”。
"Brigadier Commander!"
Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao: "You sneaked all the way with a group, and secretly took this path to go around to the back of the Japanese army that occupied Pingxing Pass and attacked fiercely. Once you succeed, the devils on the frontal defense will inevitably send troops back to reinforce them! And when the time comes, it should not be a problem for labor and management to attack and take this place in one fell swoop! ”。
"Understood, Brigadier Commander!" Zhang Dabiao nodded, and then actually left quickly to lead a group to act in advance.
And Li Yunlong then said to Shen Qun, Ma Wenhai, Wang Chengzhu and others: "You follow the usual attack plan, prepare and prepare!" Columns, artillery cover, it's up to you! ”。
"Yes, Brigadier Commander! I guarantee that my artillery unit will be able to suppress the enemy's artillery fire in front of Pingxingguan, no problem! Wang Chengzhu smiled, for him, the terrain of Pingxingguan is narrow, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, it is very easy to be bombarded by the artillery fire of the attacking side, and the front of the Pingxing Pass is actually not wide, and the artillery fire can concentrate on shelling the devils. This is still very advantageous for the attacking side.
Just when Li Yunlong commanded the troops to sneak attack Pingxingguan, at this time, the devils who occupied Pingxingguan belonged to the 27th Infantry Wing of the 201st Brigade of the 201st Brigade under the jurisdiction of the Fujimoto Detachment.
It's just that at this time, the 45th Infantry Wing of the Devil in Pingxingguan only has more than two infantry brigades, but more than 2,500 people.
The captain of the 45th Infantry Wing of the devil, Ando Ryutai Dazuo, frowned, and looked at Li Yunlong's army at the Pingxing Pass, which was mighty and imposing.
"Your Excellency, I have sent a report to General Haruki Fujimoto. Just now, the general called back and ordered us to stick to Pingxingguan and block Li Yunlong's main force to come back! Wait for the generals to take the base of the Hengshan Independent Brigade, and then turn around to clean up Li Yunlong's department! At this time, a voice appeared behind Ryutai Ando.
The old devil turned his head and saw that it was his chief of staff, Furukawa Taiyi Shaoza.
"Still can't be careless, Li Yunlong's troops actually killed under the Pingxing Pass so quickly, it is conceivable that we still underestimated the opponent's combat effectiveness a little. No wonder, since Li Yunlong appeared, several elite troops of the war empire have been defeated and annihilated without exception. Moreover, even several princes and royal highnesses of the empire fell into the hands of Li Yunlong. Ryutai Ando waved his hand and said with a solemn look in his eyes.
Furukawa nodded a little, and what Ando Ryutai said was not wrong.
It's just that judging from the current situation, your own side occupies the terrain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It should be no problem to block the main force of the independent brigade that is eyeing the opposite side.
It's just that for Ando Ryutai, being able to kill so many elite Japanese troops, the combat effectiveness of the Independent Brigade itself cannot be underestimated.
After all, the result of underestimation is to be killed by the other party. After all, the headquarters of the 31st Brigade of the 110th Division and the headquarters of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division, which were only one night away from them, were all annihilated by Li Yunlong's troops.
And this, the distance is not a day!
Just as Ando Ryutai was thinking, Furukawa Taiichi said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, you see, there is movement in the Independent Brigade!" ”。
Ryutai Ando immediately picked up the binoculars, and when he looked at it, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes became solemn, "Order all troops to enter the battle." The Independent Brigade is going to tackle the problem! ”
"Hay, Captain!" Furukawa Taiyi paused heavily, then turned around and left to prepare.
At this time, Li Yunlong was also standing on the slope of the mountain road west of the west pass of the Pingxing Pass, less than three hundred meters away from the pass! Book every day
"Brigade commander, the artillery is ready, please give the order!" At this time, Wang Chengzhu's voice came from Li Yunlong's side.
Li Yunlong nodded, waved his big hand and said, "Pillar, give me a bang, bang hard!" ”。
"Yes, Brigadier !!" Wang Chengzhu smiled and immediately turned to leave.
Less than a minute later, a shriek of whistling rang out.
I saw cannonballs rising from not far behind Li Yunlong, smashing towards the Pingxing Guanxi Pass with a long tail flame.
"Boom, boom!!!"
The artillery fire was fierce, and the shells fell on the Xiguan Pass of Pingxing Pass with a roar, and the stones on the wall of the blown pass flew everywhere. Some devils who didn't have time to dodge, and those who were bombed on the spot cried and called their mothers, and soon casualties began to appear.
At this time, Ando Ryutai was in a hurry, and all four Type 92 infantry guns of the two artillery squadrons under the fierce command launched artillery suppression with all their might.
It's just that at this time, among Wang Chengzhu's artillery, the number of artillery is far more than that of the devil defenders in Pingxingguan. In the face of Wang Chengzhu's bullying artillery attack, these devils' artillery countermeasures were very sparse.
Soon, under the report of Furukawa Taiyi, the old devil Ando Ryutai understood that his artillery fire could not suppress the other party.
"Captain, there are heavy casualties! The artillery suffered heavy casualties, and all the artillery was destroyed by the enemy! Furukawa Taiichi hurriedly shouted, his expression solemn.
Ando Ryutai gritted his teeth, and under the protection of several devil soldiers, he was hiding in the bunker in the shells that Wang Chengzhu threw overwhelmingly.
Seeing this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn! If the rear forces are brought up, if the passes cannot be resisted, I am afraid that the method of blocking the attack in layers will not work. There are cavalry on the other side! Fast! ”。
"Hay, Captain!" Furukawa nodded a little, and immediately sent people to transfer all the defenders on both sides of the rear valley road and the direction of the large rear pass to the vicinity of the Pingxing Kansai Pass.
Otherwise, once Dongguan is broken by the main force of the Independent Brigade, things will be in trouble.
At this moment, Li Yunlong ordered Wang Chengzhu to increase artillery fire, and Ando Longtai, who was stunned, struggled to hold on.
"Brigade commander, look, the defenders of the devil's east pass have increased!" Suddenly, a staff officer standing beside Li Yunlong happily pointed to the flat Kwantung Guancheng, and the dense number of Japanese troops suddenly increased, and shouted. Li Yunlong hurriedly picked up the binoculars, took a look, and smiled, "Okay!" Order Wang Chengzhu to continue to bombard me violently, the second regiment stepped forward, and the infantry feint! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
"Understood, Brigadier."
In less than a minute, the 2nd Regiment of the Independent Brigade, under the command of the regiment commander Shen Qun, tried its best to carry out a fierce feint attack on Pingxing Guanxi Pass. Under the blow of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire, it seems that there is a drum of energy to take the Pingxing Guanxi Pass.
Ando Ryutai didn't expect that such a large-scale attack would be just a feint.
And just when there was a fierce battle at Pingxing Guanxi Pass, and Ando Ryutai transferred all the defenders of Dongguan to the west, a regiment of 2,000 men and horses under the personal command of Zhang Dabiao had already detoured back to the vicinity of Pingxing Guandong Pass.
"Regiment commander, there is less than one squadron of devils left in Dongguan!" The scout came back and reported to Zhang Dabiao.
Zhang Dabiao laughed, immediately stood up and said, "Brothers, take Dongguan for me!" Kill! ”。
"Yes, Commander!!" All the soldiers of the regiment shouted one after another, and immediately suddenly slaughtered from the mountains south of Dongguan, annihilated a squadron of the devil defenders of Pingxing Guandongguan with lightning speed, completely captured Dongguan, and blocked the two Japanese infantry brigades personally commanded by Ando Ryuyasu in Pingxing Pass!
