Chapter 565: Annihilation of the Devil 63rd Wing (continued)
"Your Excellency Dazuo, the other party is the Eighth Route Army, and the east and west sides of Pingxing Pass have been broken through, and they are attacking the middle! The troops on both sides can no longer withstand it! We have heavy casualties, ask for tactical guidance, ask for tactical guidance! ”
Furong Zhenping was stunned, and soon a Japanese soldier urgently reported to him and asked for tactical guidance.
Once the little devil's tactical guidance is spoken, it shows that the war is already very dangerous.
"Bagaya Road, order the machine gun squadrons to occupy the advantageous terrain and block them layer by layer. Order the 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades to build blocking lines on both sides of the pass and wait for an opportunity to counterattack! Immediately order the reconnaissance troops to see which Eighth Route Army troops are raiding our 63rd Wing, hurry up! Go! In the midst of the continuous loud explosions, Fukuei Zhenping quickly stabilized his mood and issued orders in an orderly manner.
The Japanese soldiers who came to make an urgent report paused heavily and said, "Hai, Your Excellency Dazuo!" Then he hurriedly left to give the order.
At this time, Li Yunlong was standing on the top of a hill less than 300 meters from the difficult side of Pingxingguan Pass, using a telescope to observe the fierce battle at Pingxingguan at this time.
Staff officers accompanying the army constantly reported to Li Yunlong the latest battle situation, and the posture of the battle situation was very serious.
"Report to the regiment commander, the commander of the first battalion has entered the pass from the east side, and at this time he has continued to advance to the west inside the Pingxing Pass!"
"Report to the regiment commander, the fourth battalion has entered the pass from the west of Pingxing Pass, and is advancing in an orderly manner! Killed countless Japanese soldiers! ”
"The artillery team reports that the ammunition of our artillery team can be used for another ten minutes, please instruct the regiment commander!"
In the midst of coming and going, the continuous progress of the war reported to Li Yunlong in a timely manner, and Li Yunlong nodded and made it clear.
"Order all troops, according to the plan, to continue to advance east and west! Be sure to attack the remnants of Furong Zhenhei's Japanese army in the pass! Order Wang Chengzhu's artillery team, the shelling will end in five minutes, and our artillery shells will be used in a decisive battle with the rest of Seishiro Itagaki's 21st Brigade next! Li Yunlong thought about it, and immediately made an order and said.
The staff officer of the regimental headquarters, who was waiting for orders at any time, answered the call, and immediately sent messengers to convey the orders to the battalions and departments.
At this time, the fierce battle inside Pingxingguan was also going on, and the little devil soldiers of the 63rd Wing of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, who had been under heavy artillery fire for at least ten minutes, had been completely bombed and lost their formation at this time.
Although Furong Zhenping promptly ordered the 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades under his command to build temporary blocking positions on both sides of the pass, in an attempt to resist the offensive of Zhang Dabiao and He Yongjie from both sides of the Pingxing Pass. However, at this time, there were less than 2,000 Japanese soldiers left who had been torn apart by artillery fire, and there were more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers who were disabled by artillery shells and lost their combat effectiveness.
At this time, in the middle of the pass, the Japanese soldier system was very chaotic. Fukuei Zhenhei's orders were also difficult to convey in a timely and effective manner at this time, so that by the time the Japanese army reacted, its rout was already in place.
"Dada, dada!!!" On the west side of the Pingxing Pass, the fourth battalion of He Yongjie's headquarters entered the pass from the west side, opened the way with most of the machine guns and heavy machine guns, and concentrated fire to make a surprise attack.
Because the assembled Japanese troops were hidden by artillery fire, it was too late to wait for the discovery that the soldiers under He Yongjie had entered the pass from the west side of Pingxing Pass, and it was too late to prepare to block the attack. Many Japanese soldiers hurriedly took down the Type 38 rifles from behind to find a place to block the attack, but they were beaten to death by the rapid fire of machine guns and other forces organized by He Yongjie, and their blocking posture was completely unorganized.
After that, He Yongjie ordered the artillery soldiers accompanying the army to use mortars to arrive at the location of the machine gun fire point that the Japanese army hastily erected.
"Brothers, call me, don't give the little devil a chance to breathe. Rush! ”
He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion who urged the troops to attack, laughed, and the soldiers of the fourth battalion of the command post headquarters relied on assault firepower to recklessly attack forward. As long as the little devil does not react, he has time to build a strong blocking fortification, and with his own assault firepower, it is enough to beat the little devil with heavy casualties.
Under the cover of the mortars, grenadiers and other infantry of their own troops at close range, the infantry and artillery coordinated very skillfully to attack the blocking infantry brigade of the 63rd Wing of the Japanese army, and the little devils were defeated and retreated.
The first battalion of Zhang Dabiao's subordinate and the first battalion of He Yongjie, who entered the pass from the eastern side of the Pingxing Guan, used machine gun fire to concentrate on the cover and attack the pass, and entered the pass with all their might. By the time the Japanese army reacted, it was too late.
In the Pingxing Pass, at this time, there was already continuous artillery explosion. The firing of machine guns and rifles crackled, and fifteen minutes later, the fierce gunfire at Pingxingguan gradually ceased to be violent.
At this time, more than 700 remnants of the Japanese army at the headquarters of Furong Zhenpei Dazuo withdrew into a Japanese military camp composed of more than a dozen rooms in the pass, and they resisted desperately.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, it was the headquarters of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army that raided our department in Pingxingguan. It is estimated that the total is more than sixteen or seven hundred. They concentrated at least a large number of infantry guns and mortars, and first concentrated on bombarding our logistical baggage troops, especially the two Type 94 advanced light tanks, which were blown up by enemy artillery fire in less than three minutes! Most of the supplies of the baggage transport troops have been blown up! Your Excellency, we only have more than 700 people left, please ask for help! Otherwise, the whole army will be annihilated! ”
Fukuei Zhenping heard the battle damage report of the adjutant of his wing, and his face immediately turned pale. He was actually in Pingxing Pass, and he was surrounded and beaten by the troops of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army that came out of nowhere, and he wanted to cry without tears.
"Bagaya Road, one part of Li Yunlong's new regiment is in the Hengshan base area, and the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge is blocked by the royal family, and the other is likely to be in the territory of Miyuan at this time, how can it be that there are still regular troops of the new regiment near Pingxingguan. 16,700 people, where did they come from? Furong Zhenping Dazuo said angrily, how could he have thought that there would be troops of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army near Pingxingguan?
Li Yunlong's new regiment is just a regiment-level unit!
Just before his adjutant could continue to reply, suddenly more than a dozen rooms were smashed down by shells in the sky, and the explosions continued continuously.
"Boom, boom, boom!".
The loud sound of the cannonballs drowned out the rest of the conversation between Fukuei and his lieutenant. Without waiting for the old devil to react, the shouts of killing gradually approached.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, I can't stand it! Most of the troops in the front were killed, and the Chinese army had already entered the front of the headquarters! "Some Japanese soldiers risked their lives to escape the artillery bombardment and reported to Furong Zhenping, who was hiding in the temporary headquarters.
