Chapter 644: The Japanese Army Counterattacks
This time was different.
The troops besieging the enemy's stronghold all had infantry artillery and mountain artillery!
The artillery operated at a distance of about 1,000 meters, hiding behind some village road walls and behind some wooded obstacles, and when they were ready, they would vacate the obstacles and shoot.
The fortifications of the enemy's stronghold were built in a hurry.
Many of them were captured and burned and demolished before Han Feng.
Sturdiness is not the same.
A battalion of Chinese troops surrounded the enemy, and the strength was not much.
However, the enemy had only about 40 people, and a few remnants of the army who had fled.
In normal times, forty or fifty Japanese puppet troops would definitely be able to rely on fortifications to easily resist the attack of the Chinese army, especially the Eighth Route Army.
The sturdy stone bunkers and blue-brick turrets made it difficult for the ordinary rifle pistols of the Eighth Route Army to deal with.
If you want to besiege, the best way is to besiege, dig trenches around it, cut off the enemy's supplies, and trap the enemy.
The Eighth Route Army was seriously short of guns and ammunition, and under normal circumstances, it would not take the initiative to provoke the enemy's fixed strongholds.
Therefore, the Japanese puppet army was still very confident at the beginning in the stronghold.
Ready to fight.
Some devil soldiers were even ready to snipe Chinese soldiers at a distance of 500 meters.
There were two devil soldiers who also made a bet to see who could kill ten Eighth Route Army.
However, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were only wrapped around the perimeter, cutting off the enemy's escape routes, and even a thin cordon.
Soon, the devil saw that something was wrong.
Because, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is exposed!
The artillery of the Eighth Route Army disassembled and transported the infantry guns and mountain artillery, and transported them by war horses and camels or hauled them, and the speed was very fast, and when they arrived at the secret location, they were integrated and installed, and then fired.
These have been disassembled many times.
According to the plan, the artillery began to bombard.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the shooting and not waste shells, Han Feng was invited to take the lead.
This is also agreed in advance.
However, before coming, a battalion led by Political Commissar Zhao Gang could not hold back and fired, and both guns missed!
However, these two cannons frightened the devils and the puppet army in the stronghold, and the puppet army immediately fled!
As a result, he was intercepted halfway, obediently raised his hand and surrendered, and became a prisoner.
A few devils had no choice but to commit suicide.
On the other side, the infantry battalion commanded by Li Qing waited for Hanfeng.
Cannonballs are precious.
Han Feng arrived, personally operated, demonstrated to the artillery, and as soon as the cannon went down, boom, the enemy's turret was cut off!
A large area of green bricks exploded, smashing the hidden devil puppet army below crying dad and mom, killing and wounding.
With one shot, the enemy collapsed, and the puppet army fled in all directions!
Li Qing immediately commanded the soldiers to charge, covered by fire, and surrounded the enemy.
Easily handle two townships.
Keep moving!
Li Yunlong, Liang Weixing, Zhang Shouwu and others commanded the infantry and advanced rapidly, and the two detachments each dispatched two battalions to attack, and one infantry battalion served as a reserve.
The Hanfeng Cavalry Company, as a rapid mobile unit, is ready to respond.
Later offensives, changed the situation, basically.
About 1,000 meters, the infantry battalion of the Eighth Route Army stopped and hidden, and the artillery assembled artillery parts, and after completion, aimed and bombed the enemy's stronghold.
Four infantry guns, each serving as the main artillery fire of a battalion!
There is also assistance from mountain artillery and anti-aircraft artillery, mortars, machine guns, etc.
Infantry artillery, the most superior performance artillery fire possessed by the Japanese army, was a famous light artillery fire in World War II.
Extremely mobile.
The accuracy is quite good.
Surprisingly lightweight.
Now, it has become an offensive weapon of the Eighth Route Army!
One shot to stop the enemy's turret, and some of them directly entered the shooting hole of the enemy's fort and imploded the enemy's fort.
Basically, as soon as the cannon went down, the smoke filled the air, the corpses flew sideways, and the Japanese puppet army in a stronghold collapsed, and the survivors quickly fled.
Don't want to run?
Waiting here to die?
After the shelling, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army began to charge and pursue.
The Hanfeng Cavalry Company also cooperated, dividing the cavalry company into four roads, one platoon along the way, responsible for chasing and intercepting enemy deserters.
On Han Feng's side, there are only ten warriors.
And so, in one morning, they reinstated eight strongholds!
A total of about 1,000 Japanese puppet troops were annihilated!
At about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army finally became angry.
Planes were sent to help in the war.
The Eighth Route Army was already very scattered, and as soon as it saw the enemy planes, it was even more evacuated. 、
The enemy bombed and strafed for a while, but did not reap much results.
However, the main force of the Japanese army in the county town was dispatched.
Five armored vehicles, three tanks, some artillery fire, a dozen trucks, a squadron of infantry, plus artillery and armored troops, with a total strength of more than 200 people, plus more than 600 puppet troops, and summoned the Japanese puppet army from various other strongholds behind, with a total strength of nearly 2,000 people, to converge to the west.
They are going to have a decisive battle with the Chinese army.
At the same time, the Japanese army in other counties also formed reinforcements, and there were two roads, each with thousands of people.
The enemy's movements were all in Han Feng's field of vision, as soon as the enemy was concentrated, he knew it, and even, he saw some documents of the enemy!
Hehe.
There's nothing more enjoyable than being able to flip through enemy cards.
Han Feng immediately sent someone to inform the various troops.
Han Feng asked the troops to concentrate, meet the enemy, and annihilate the enemy's troops in this county town in one go.
What armored vehicles, tanks, artillery fire, trucks, are all delivered by the captain of the transport brigade to honor us!
However, the troops on Li Yunlong's side blew the horn of withdrawing from the turbulent army.
Fall back?
This is a retreat?
Han Feng couldn't help it.
Nor can it be contacted in time.
The radio station of the cavalry company is quite troublesome because the operator is not skilled, and even if Han Feng comes in person, he is afraid that the personnel over there will not be able to receive it in time and cannot translate it in time.
Gotcha, forget it!
Fall back.
Li Yunlong's approach is safe.
We must never commit dangerous situations and be responsible to the whole army.
Everyone retreated.
The Hanfeng Cavalry Company was responsible for breaking the rear.
Although the Tornado detachment was mainly infantry, the retreat was quite fast.
The enemy's various strongholds probably heard the sound of cannons, or through the telephone notifications of some destroyed strongholds before they were smashed and destroyed, they learned about the power of the Eighth Route Army, and the strongholds at the forefront did not dare to move.
Smooth retreat.
By the time the enemy's main force of more than 800 people from the county town converged with other troops and pressed over, Hanfeng's troops had already broken away by four or five thousand meters.
The enemy was furious.
They paused around a village, waited for the other two forces to be gathered, and then led by a Nakasa, went straight to the west.
More than 3,500 puppet troops, posing in the shape of finished characters, three roads, separated by a thousand meters, mighty and violent.
The Japanese army wanted to retaliate.
The actions of the Japanese army are all in the eyes of Han Feng.
Two kilometers away from the enemy, Han Feng led a cavalry company to observe.
Zhang Dabiao and Pang Hai were also there.
Han Feng immediately informed the two of them and informed the whole army.
And, let one of the cavalrymen go back and tell the main forces, and at the same time send a radio message.
It is important to ensure that the information arrives on time.
The next task is how to hold back the enemy and give the main forces time to retreat or prepare for a decisive battle.
Han Feng frowned and had an idea.
