Chapter 401: Side-firing fire!
"Don't worry!"
Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "The two battalions of the third regiment are the most capable troops under Lao Ma who can resist the onslaught of the Japanese army. What's more, at least 18,000 people who have already reached the Ping-type Guanxi Pass blocking position are all Imperial Cooperative Army, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. The blocking force telegraphed that the 2,000 Japanese troops in the reinforced Japanese puppet army were only used as a supervising team, driving the Imperial Allied Army to attack the blocking position. According to the report of the blocking force, they have no problem blocking until night! ”。
When Zhao Gang heard this, he said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the time will be too long, if we have a stalemate here for too long, it is difficult to guarantee that the devil's aviation will send reinforcements!" ”。
Seeing Zhao Gang pointing to the sky, Li Yunlong looked up and saw that the weather was clear and cloudless, which was very suitable for the Japanese fighters to send out air support to the remnants of Fujimoto Haruki!
"Well, it seems that the devil is stubbornly resisting, and there should be air supplies!" Li Yunlong said.
"That's it, Lao Zhao, you organize. Deploy all the light and heavy machine guns that can be gathered now, and form an anti-aircraft fire network on the ground! In my opinion, the little devil's air force fighters should take off from Xinkou Airport and Taiyuan Airport to provide air support to Haruki Fujimoto. ”
Zhao Gang clapped his hands and said: "I almost forgot this, you Lao Li didn't say it, I didn't even think of this loophole!" Okay, I'll deploy it right away. ”。
After speaking, Zhao Gang hurried away, and deployed the light and heavy machine guns that had not yet participated in the fire cover of the attack on higher ground to form several air defense positions.
Once the Japanese fighters attack, you can deal with it!
At this time, Haruki Fujimoto was frowning and looking at the fierce battle ahead.
"Yaga! If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't work! "Fujimoto Haruki observed that after sending troops to reinforce the hilltop position on the left flank, it only slightly blocked the attack of the Independent Brigade on the left flank mountain, but the artillery fire of the Independent Brigade strengthened and the artillery fire poured down, which suddenly increased the casualties of the Japanese bombing on the left flank mountain, which made Fujimoto Haruki's heart heavy.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The old devil picked up the binoculars and saw that in his sight, the three hilltop positions of Xiaogushan were constantly bombarded by the artillery fire of the Independent Brigade.
Most of the positions that were hastily constructed have been damaged to varying degrees!
"Eight Tooth Road! Damn it! It's still a hasty withdrawal! There is no time to build fortifications! Haruki Fujimoto thought through gritted teeth.
Due to the rapid advance of the main force of the independent brigade reinforcements, and the Japanese army besieging the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge valley, Zhao Gang led the troops to outflank and eat them.
The remnants of Fujimoto Haruki, who had been attacked from the front and back, could only retreat to Xiaogushan and wait for reinforcements, but there was not enough time, and the hastily excavated blocking position could not block the artillery attack of the independent brigade.
In this way, the situation is not optimistic!
"Report to Your Excellency General, the Imperial Allied Army and the joint reinforcements of the Imperial Army assembled from Taiyuan and other places have reached Pingxing Guanxi Pass, but they have encountered stubborn resistance from the blocking forces of the Independent Brigade. The other party occupies the favorable terrain of Pingxing Pass, and according to the danger of defending it, the Imperial Association Army in the reinforcement has suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and it is still an independent brigade unit that has not been able to break through the Pingxing Guanxi Pass! At this time, a devil communication soldier came and handed the message to Haruki Fujimoto.
After reading the telegram, Haruki Fujimoto looked thoughtful, most of the reinforcements gathered by the First Army to the north were the Imperial Allied Army, and the combat effectiveness was too low.
Among them, the 2,000 Japanese troops who supervised the war were all composed of third-line garrison troops, and many of them were wandering samurai, as well as devil merchants who entered Jin Province with the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness was not much spare strength!
So Haruki Fujimoto was mentally prepared, and after thinking about it, Haruki Fujimoto still waved his hand and said: "Call them back, go all out to attack the blocking position of the Pingxing Guanxi Pass Independent Brigade, break through the independent brigade blockade, and reinforce us!" ”。 Moxue Literature Network
"Hay, Your Excellency, General!" The devil's communication soldier took the order and left.
At this time, the three hilltop positions in Xiaogushan were completely suppressed by the artillery fire of the independent brigade.
"General, you see, the right wing can't stand it!" Suddenly, the devil staff officer standing next to Haruki Fujimoto suddenly exclaimed, and his right hand executed the direction of the hill on the right flank of the small lonely mountain position.
Haruki Fujimoto hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and immediately smiled bitterly, "Yaga! The right wing can't stand it! You drop, command the rest of the reserves and reinforce the right flank! ”
"This, General, then there are only a few guards left with you! In the event of an accident, there will be no extra troops to support it! The devil staff officer whispered.
Haruki Fujimoto waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "You can see what the situation is now." Execute the command put! What's more, it is more than 100 meters away from several hilltop positions in Xiaogu Mountain! I am standing on the top of the mountain at an altitude of more than 500 meters, condescending, and I will not be in danger for a short time! Execute the command put! ”。
"Hay, Your Excellency General! Obedience! Take care, General! The devil's staff officer saluted and left.
Haruki Fujimoto nodded, watching as the last reserve team went up to reinforce it. At this time, by the old devil's side, only a Japanese communications soldier in his field headquarters was left, and five guards were left to protect him, and the rest of the miscellaneous personnel, staff officers or something, had already been picked up by Fujimoto Haruki and picked up the gun to join the attack of the independent brigade.
"Hold on! Warriors of the Empire! ”
Haruki Fujimoto has already sent all the people he can send, and if he can't hold his position, he'll really die.
At this time, the 1st and 2nd regiments of the flank attack of the independent brigade had already attacked at the same time, and the Japanese troops at close range were facing each other in a fierce battle.
According to Li Yunlong's usual admonition, the soldiers of various units concentrated their submachine guns on fighting, and it was no longer easy to start hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese soldiers. Instead, it is conducive to the light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns that have been equipped to fight the Japanese defenders at close range.
At this time, just as Li Yunlong expected, the Japanese defenders' positions were suppressed and captured at close range by the submachine guns in the hands of the attacking independent brigade soldiers.
The inferior strength of the little devil finally leaked a huge flaw, and it was Zhang Dabiao's regiment that was responsible for attacking the right wing of Xiaogushan.
I saw a regiment of fighters under the command of Zhang Dabiao, scattering the attack, suppressing it remotely with light and heavy machine gun fire, and extending the artillery fire to suppress it.
Afterwards, a regiment concentrated a battalion of fighters, armed with submachine guns and light machine guns, to attack and advance.
Most of the weapons of the Japanese army at this time were standard Type 38 rifles, and the firepower output was very slow, and it was difficult to suppress the attack of the independent brigade!
Soon, under the attention of Haruki Fujimoto, the position on the right flank of his small lonely mountain was lost! It took time to be completely captured by a regiment of the Independent Brigade, and it was not an hour for the devils to hold their positions in the hands of a regiment!
"Damn!" Haruki Fujimoto saw that the main position in the middle of the small lonely mountain position had not been lost, but the right flank had been lost, and he immediately roared and shouted!
The right flank of the mountain has been lost, and the right flank of the main position of Xiaogushan has leaked, and it will be hit hard by the flank fire of the independent brigade at any time!
Sure enough, the Japanese army's right flank mountain was lost, and Suzuki Ryuichi, who was supervising the battle on the hill of the main position of Xiaogu Mountain, saw the first regiment of the independent brigade attacking the hill on the right flank of the mountain, concentrated light and heavy machine gun fire, and fired at them!
"Yaga! Side-fired fire! Jiro Yato, take people, suppress me! Suzuki Ryuichi called the Japanese commander Yato Jiro, who was stubbornly defending the main position of Kogushan, pointed in the direction of the right flank, and shouted anxiously.
