Chapter 241: Fight Back on All Fronts!

For the Japanese army who was ordered to attack Linyi, before launching an offensive against Linyi, the perimeter of the battlefield would naturally be closely searched. In some directions where reinforcements may appear, the Japanese army also sent alert troops to keep an eye on the military movements of the defenders.

The first part of the 59th Army, which had arrived to reinforce the night before, originally thought that it would take about three days for the other side. Unexpectedly, the reinforcement of this army exceeded their expectations, and it took a day and a night to force the army to arrive in Linyi.

The sudden change in the battlefield situation forced the Japanese infantry brigade and regiment responsible for attacking Linyi to adjust the combat deployment, and at the same time called the rear division to continue to send reinforcements. The attacking Japanese army also realized that it would be difficult to take Linyi with only one brigade.

It's just that for the Japanese army, it also takes a certain amount of time from the application for support to the arrival of reinforcements. After a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese infantry brigade responsible for attacking Linyi unexpectedly found that the defenders still could not hold out, and it seemed that they planned to defend Linyi.

Under such circumstances, the infantry brigade was naturally happy to see the success, and dispatched an infantry wing to hold back the reinforcements of the 59th Army, while the main force of the rest of the brigade continued to besiege Pang Bingxun's headquarters of the 40th Army stationed in Linyi.

According to the information obtained by the Japanese army, in the fierce fighting in the previous few days, Pang Bingxun's troops had suffered heavy casualties. As long as they hold on for a few more days, the commander of the Japanese brigade responsible for attacking Linyi believes that Pang Bingxun will not be able to hold on in the end.

But the brigade commander never dreamed that before the first part of the 59th Army rushed to the battlefield, they had been targeted by the spy company lurking in the shadows. The situation of the transfer of troops was also completely grasped by the defenders, but the Japanese army did not know anything about it.

If Hu Biao had brought a lot of troops, he might have rarely escaped the intelligence and reconnaissance personnel of the Japanese army. It's a pity that Hu Biao, who infiltrated the war zone, even if he sent a reconnaissance unit, would ask to avoid passers-by as much as possible.

When the two assault teams launched a surprise attack on the rear headquarters of the Japanese army at night, they naturally caught the little devil off guard. Two boxes of mortar shells smashed down, and the makeshift headquarters was soon enveloped in artillery fire.

The Japanese alert troops, who were responsible for protecting the headquarters, never dreamed that there would be troops infiltrating the perimeter of the headquarters and launching a surprise attack on their headquarters. By the time I realized this, it seemed too late.

Four mortars quickly poured shells into the Japanese headquarters, allowing the Japanese troops who had not yet rested to completely blow up the pot. When the nearest Japanese patrol quickly approached, the team in charge of blocking the attack opened fire.

The combination of light machine guns and submachine guns made it impossible for the Japanese patrols trying to push forward to get close to the artillery positions. In addition, the snipers in the commando team replenished their guns from time to time, and the Japanese patrol of more than ten people was soon wiped out.

After hitting the last shell, looking at the rear camp of the Japanese army that was completely messed up into a pot of porridge, Xu Sandao and Qin Tianyou both said in unison: "Don't fall in love, all retreat!" Let these little devils slowly chase after you! ”

Looking at the little devils who were constantly outflanking, the two commandos were not afraid at all, and along the retreat route planned earlier, they hung up the buried mines one by one, and then quickly left. Not long after, an explosion was heard behind him.

The Japanese soldiers in charge of the pursuit, looking at the constant sound of explosions, naturally did not dare to step forward. By the time they realized that these traps were delaying their pursuit, the two assault teams had already taken advantage of the darkness to break out of their encirclement.

The little devil officers who stayed in the camp, looking at the destroyed headquarters, and the commanders who were killed by the bombing, mostly realized that the situation was not good. The commander of the Japanese army guarding the front line learned that something had happened to the command camp in the rear, so he naturally inevitably sent troops back to help.

As a result, it was clear that when the Japanese commander of the front line drew troops back to help, the defenders who had already entered the forward position soon discovered the movement of the Japanese army. Knowing this, Pang Bingxun naturally realized that the opportunity had come.

"Pass my orders! Artillery battalion, start shelling, end shelling, counterattack on all fronts! ”

"Yes, Throne!"

As the commander of the 40th Army, Pang Bingxun naturally also has artillery units in his hands. It is a pity that his artillery unit was armed with only some mortars. As for the longer-range and more powerful mountain artillery, they were not equipped.

Earlier, most of these mortars were dispersed to support the defenders of the position. As for the centralized use, Pang Bingxun didn't dare at all. The reason is very simple, if there is a slight accident, this artillery battalion that has been saved up with great difficulty will be completely wiped out.

When the artillery battalion of the Fortieth Army was first concentrated, more than a dozen mortars poured artillery fire on the forward positions of the Japanese army. The Japanese troops, who had just been worried about the rear camp, were naturally very surprised to see the defenders actually use artillery bombardment.

"Yaga! The defenders of China, there are still so many mortars! Inform the artillery squadron and prepare for a counterattack! ”

The Japanese troops in charge of the attack did not expect the defenders to dare to fight their counterattack. At the front line of the offensive, the Japanese did not dig defensive trenches and anti-artillery tunnels at all, so that when the artillery battalion counterattacked, the Japanese had to start retreating.

Just when the little devil was counting on the artillery squadron under the command of the brigade to provide artillery support, the main force of the spy company led by Hu Biao had already rushed into the artillery position. The Japanese infantry, which was responsible for protecting the artillery squadron, was simply powerless to withstand such a ferocious offensive.

First, several grenades were thrown directly into the fortifications they had dug. After the explosion, the assault team with submachine guns had already rushed to their position. When the Japanese tried to fight back, the bullets were already sweeping in.

Even if there is a machine gunner who tries to adjust the muzzle of the gun to shoot, the sniper who has been waiting for a long time will start sniping in time. Looking at the machine gunner that keeps falling and replacement, all the sniper has to do is pull the bolt, aim and fire.

By the time the Japanese troops in the position reacted, the assault team led by Hu Biao had already rushed into the trenches of the little devils. With the help of the powerful fire of the submachine guns, the riflemen of the little devils were powerless to resist and were killed in the trenches one after another.

Hu Biao, who left a team of people, also said in a timely manner: "The first platoon, clear the remnants of the enemy, the second platoon, the third platoon, rush with me, and kill the artillery of those little devils!" Those artillery, Lao Tzu wants it, don't let the little devils blow it up. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

There is a platoon of little devils who are responsible for clearing out the blocking position, which is completely enough in Hu Biao's opinion. As for Hu Biao and the soldiers in the second and third platoons, they rushed to the panicked little devil artillery.

Very often, the artillery of the little devils, often not equipped with weapons on artillery positions. The reason is that at the time of shelling, they simply did not need to be armed. The defense of artillery positions was often entrusted to the infantry.

Now that the infantry protecting them has been completely defeated, looking at Hu Biao and his party who rushed into the position, these little devil artillery naturally panicked. In the process of fleeing in embarrassment, he was also killed by the soldiers of the spy company who rushed over.

Hu Biao, who rushed into the artillery position first, quickly let people control the Japanese artillery on the position, and then let the soldiers under his command start the pursuit. In the face of these unarmed artillerymen, the pursuing fighters did not relent.

After training for so long, they finally had the opportunity to fight devils, how could these fighters not kill them?

By the time Pang Bingxun ordered the artillery bombardment and launched a full-scale counterattack, there was no longer a living little devil in sight on the Japanese artillery position. At this time, Hu Biao also ordered in a timely manner: "Strengthen the fortifications and hold this artillery position!" ”

"Yes!"

"Send a telegram to General Pang and ask him to quickly send someone over to take over the artillery position. If he doesn't come quickly, I'll blow up the artillery. These cannons are good things, and if I can't take them with me, I won't be willing to give them to them! ”

The telegraph operator who fought with Hu Biao sent another telegram to Pang Bingxun through the low-power radio. The telegraph operator who received the telegram looked at the translated telegram and immediately said with a happy face: "Quick, immediately hand over the telegram to the military seat!" ”

When Pang Bingxun saw the telegram, he couldn't hide his ecstasy and said: "Order a regiment, at all costs, to rush to the artillery position of the little devil as quickly as possible." The little devil's artillery, all of them were pulled back for me. ”

"Yes, Throne!"

Having suffered too many artillery losses, Pang Bingxun naturally hoped that he could have a powerful artillery unit. Even if the little devil has planes to help fight during the day, but with these artillery, his subordinates can also launch a counterattack at night, making the little devil suffer a little.

Accompanied by the three main regiments under Pang Bingxun, plus the first part of the 59th Army that rotated and rested, launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese army. The Japanese troops, whose command system was paralyzed, had no idea what was really happening in the rear.

While struggling to block the attack, he was worried about the situation in the rear. At this time, in the rear of the Japanese army, the Japanese army was also in chaos. Everything rushed together, and the Japanese army also became dispossessed, and the Japanese troops on the front line had to retreat one after another.

On the other hand, the combat units of the national army, which had been on the defensive, naturally became more and more courageous when they saw that the Japanese army began to retreat. How could these little devils, who have no planes and artillery support, miss the opportunity to beat the water dogs?

The three main commanders who were responsible for commanding the counterattack were naturally overjoyed when they saw this scene: "Brothers, the time for revenge has come, kill!" Avenge your dead brother and kill all these little devils, rush! ”

It is rare to have the opportunity to see the little devil when he is panicked, and the remnants of the 40th Army, which have been besieged by the little devil for several days, are also everyone's life. Taking advantage of the confusion of the little devil's command, he began to attack the retreating Japanese troops.

In the face of the defenders, who were fighting more and more frantically, the Japanese troops who had withdrawn from the front line had to speed up their retreat. As a result, the pace of defeat of the Japanese army was also accelerating. And in the rear, it is still a mess.

The captain of the Japanese army, who returned to the rear, learned that the brigade commander was seriously injured and the two wing commanders were broken, and they also realized that the situation was very bad. The most surprising thing for the Japanese was that their artillery positions were occupied by the enemy.

Although they still have chariots and cavalry troops, they still face such a chaotic battlefield and fight at night. The Japanese captains who retreated to the rear had no choice but to retreat to a safe position and then establish a blocking position.

But they had no idea that a trap had already been set up on the way they thought they were safe. Just wait for them to arrive, and then deliver the fatal blow. What awaits these Japanese troops is still an unstoppable rout!
