Chapter 335: Bloody Outpost Battle
Huaibei County, where the biggest battle is.
After an hour of bombing, the Japanese army destroyed a lot of the walls of the county, and the houses in the city were even more ablaze, burning and destroying one after another, and also collapsing, turning into terrible scorching ruins.
The Japanese tried to attack the city, but were immediately sniped by the Chinese army.
The Chinese troops, firing in secret perforations in the city walls, firing at some active combat posts, these soldiers, most of them wore Japanese gas masks.
Last time, he defeated Takada Shaozo's troops and captured a large number of Japanese army's anti-gas noodles in the city, which was also one of the reasons why Yang Chaoran decided to release Takada Shaozo and stimulate the Japanese army to send troops and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army.
In the thick smoke and fire, a small number of soldiers of the Huaibei County Infantry Battalion of the Chinese Army, splashed their bodies with water, smeared with mud, and wore gas masks on their heads, taking advantage of a number of complex terrains to ambush the enemy.
Some of them were in the holes of the wall, and some of them came out of the tunnels to observe.
The Japanese immediately fired and pushed forward strongly.
The two sides fought fiercely.
The Japanese suffered dozens of dead and wounded before they were able to advance to the county town and past the ruins of the city walls.
A number of Chinese soldiers were also killed and wounded.
After the Japanese army advanced into the city with difficulty, they realized that the Chinese army was gone.
On the one hand, they sent people to report to the rear, and on the other hand, they did not hesitate to push forward the reconnaissance.
Around the entire county seat, the Japanese army sent four reconnaissance troops, one of which was a combat squad of more than 40 people.
In front is a class of spearheads.
The fire was very painful for the Japanese troops.
They try to avoid the places where the fire is burning, and some of the places have been burned and they can go over.
After a lot of hard work, I broke in.
At this time, behind them, some people will suddenly come out!
It was the Chinese army, relying on tunnel technology, appearing behind the enemy, and a burst of fierce strafing fire knocked the enemy to death or wound.
The Japanese suffered heavy casualties.
By the time the Japanese turned around and fired bombs, these people were gone.
The Japanese army is not a fool, and immediately understood the reason: "Quick, the people of China have an authenticity!" ”
Searching the tunnels over there, behind, even under the feet, on the flanks, suddenly threw a grenade, or stretched out a bayonet.
Poof!
Rumble!
The Japanese army suffered.
The battle in the far north was the fiercest, because the commander of the Chinese army in this area was hot-tempered, jealous and hateful, and would not be willing to be ridden on the head by the devil.
They fought unrelentingly.
An infantry squad of the Japanese army, more than 40 people, is not easy to mess with.
All of them are well-trained regular troops, who have participated in many battles and are very experienced, and they also pay attention to dividing their troops and scattering them, searching around, bombing and dropping bombs with grenades in advance, and they are also good at camouflage, part of the activity, some of them are lurking, and fishing operations!
The Japanese army is definitely a veteran of sneak attacks and ambush warfare.
Several times, this squad, fished out the Chinese soldiers, stabbed them to death with bayonets and killed them with bullets.
However, the Japanese army still miscalculated, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Because the Japanese army was on the surface, the heat wave above was monstrous, and the devil's actions were greatly affected, and in some places, you couldn't hide, and you lay on the ground, oh my god, and burned to death.
The Chinese army is good at attacking the enemy from many entrances and exits, and those near are ambushed by the enemy, and those in the distance can knock down a devil with one shot, and even, throw a grenade, which can blow up the devil on his back, and several people are unlucky.
This is brutal ambush warfare and counter-ambush combat.
The battle lasted for more than an hour before it finally ended.
In the end, a combat squad of the Japanese army in the northern area of the city was wiped out, and 45 people survived.
The Chinese troops, with 21 casualties, captured all the enemy's weapons and ammunition.
In the eastern part of the city, the Japanese suffered more than half of the casualties, more than 40 people, and 28 people were lost, and they were forced to retreat.
They were in much better shape because, the squad leader, acting cautiously, kept cringinge, and in the end, was the first to retreat.
In the southern area, inside and outside the ruins of the city walls, a Japanese infantry squad lost thirty-seven people, and this loss, including thirty-two people killed and five seriously wounded, was dragged and fled.
None of the lost weapons and ammunition could be brought back, because the attacks of the Chinese army were too fierce.
On the western battlefield, the Japanese army was also very large, and it was almost completely annihilated.
Originally, it was okay, but it was a long-term struggle, but later, the Japanese army discovered a large entrance and exit passage of the Chinese army, and they fought there, as a result, the Chinese army came out from other directions and fired fiercely at the Japanese army, and the strafing of a machine gun killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers on the spot.
In the end, the Japanese army entered the city with nearly 200 troops, and the losses were more than eighty percent, and the loss of weapons and ammunition was greater.
The Chinese army, too, lost about eighty people.
These recruit eggs, the rabble infantry battalion, can fight like this, it is absolutely remarkable.
Moreover, the casualties of the Chinese army were quickly compensated.
Whenever the soldiers were sacrificed, they were immediately replenished by the people who hid in the underground tunnels.
The people know that this battle must be won, otherwise, the little devil will definitely not be polite, and he will definitely slaughter the city!
In order to survive, you must fight to the death with the little devils!
The captured more than 100 rifles and accompanying ammunition also cheapened the Chinese army.
Annoyed and angry, the Japanese carried out a second bombardment, using yellow phosphorus bombs, poison gas and other explicitly prohibited and illegal ammunition.
In the smoke, the Japanese army sorted.
They were ambushed by Chinese troops, killed and wounded, and forced to retreat.
The news reached Reika Osa's side, and Tachibana Osaku was furious.
"Okay, wait until dawn before attacking, I officially promise every imperial warrior that after conquering Huaibei County, you can not seal the sword for three days!"
The Japanese officers and soldiers suddenly boiled.
In addition, there was another incident, the Japanese reconnaissance personnel, the leader of the Nightingale Group of the Special Intelligence Group, Kuryuno Reiko, with a few people, rode around the dark Huaibei County on horseback, found nothing, and finally, rushed to the Yucun stronghold to the west.
It's dawn!
The night gradually tore apart.
Outside the county seat, the Japanese army was eyeing the tiger and preparing for a strong attack, and groups of Japanese officers and soldiers had red eyes.
muttered anxiously, waiting for the slaughter of the county town and the slaughter of the city.
A wing of infantry of the Japanese army, plus a reinforced artillery brigade, only one squadron besieged the stronghold of Persimmon Garden, two squadrons, alerted to the west, and the rest, all surrounded the county town of Huaibei.
When the sky was completely clear, the Japanese army wing captain Tachibana Osa had already come to a place 1,000 meters north of the county seat, pulled out his saber, and shouted: "Kill it!" ”
All the Japanese soldiers shouted frantically: "Kill and give!" ”
The boiling crowd charged towards Huaibei County.
The Japanese artillery carried out another bombardment of the ruins of the county seat.
Shells whistled, explosions sounded, thunder, electric lightning, and countless smoke and dust rose up.
In the underground tunnels of the county seat, an infantry battalion of the Chinese army, plus more than 8,000 people, was waiting anxiously.
