943. Surround the three and force the devils to escape
Chang Demao turned out to be the company commander of the 305th Regiment Machine Gun Company, and many company commanders in the regiment were killed and wounded in the battle this time.
Coupled with the fact that the devil's artillery is getting less and less, the survival rate of the machine gun company is much higher, compared to other infantry companies. Therefore, Lao Chang became the acting head of the regiment.
Originally, Sangou, as the deputy commander of the third battalion, was the most suitable to be the acting regiment commander, but Brigade Commander Zhang considered that Sangou had just recovered from his injury and his brain did not know what sequelae would occur, so he was not suitable to be the head of the regiment at this time.
On the contrary, it is more reasonable to give full play to Sangou's assault command ability and let him be the captain of the death squad. To put it mildly, the death squads are going to die anyway.
It's not that Zhang Lingwu is cold-blooded, but there is really no one to use, and the two regiment commanders under him, several battalion commanders, and even company commanders, are almost all dead and wounded.
Even his brigade commander has to go into battle bare-chested to kill the enemy, what else can his subordinates cherish, even he will be sacrificed at any time, and there is someone to hide.
When the war is fought to this extent, there is no longer the so-called need to preserve strength, there is no chance to preserve, every day is a vicious battle to the death, and every day is a sharp attrition.
Everyone's comrades-in-arms and brothers are just a difference between early and late death.
……
Sangou and Lao Chang have known each other for a long time, and they are old comrades-in-arms, and they have no problems in command and cooperation, so when facing the dense defense of the devils, they have to kill the devils with mortars.
Lao Chang, who has been fighting artillery all his life, habitually thinks, just likes to use cannons to solve battles, so, at this time, Sangou also called a bamboo pole, and together with Lao Chang, fired at the place where the devils at the end of the village were concentrated.
The machine gun company called the bamboo poles, and they had a total of five or six mortars, all of which came in handy at this moment, and with the smashing of the mortars, the last five or six houses of the devils were blown up in an instant, and the flames were blazing.
Originally, in this kind of night battle and rapid encirclement and annihilation warfare, the troops generally went into battle lightly, which was conducive to mobility, flexibility and rapid response, and rarely brought heavy weapons, similar to heavy machine guns.
Mortars are almost impossible to bring, but this time the acting commander of the 305th Regiment is a company commander of a machine gun company, and he is often used to fighting with mortars, and if he doesn't bring mortars, he doesn't know how to fight.
Now this shelling goes down, the devil is bombed and can't stand it, after all, there are no permanent fortifications built in the village to defend against the shells, at most the houses have been strengthened and some trenches have been dug and so on.
Therefore, when the devil saw that the Chinese soldiers did not come up to fight them face to face, they used curved artillery to beat them, and if they didn't leave, they would sit and wait to be killed.
Rather than die needlessly under the shells of the Chinese army, it is better to break out, maybe there will be a chance to live, so the devil began to break through.
In fact, there is no need to break through, the three dogs have been surrounding the three queyi, the end of the village is empty there, and the devil is waiting for the devil to escape from this gap, so he can't wait, and now he has finally waited.
Seeing the devil withdraw, the three dogs were overjoyed, dog's day, you felt better, and immediately sent a red signal bomb to the sky.
The flickering night sky seemed to have been pierced and stained with blood, and the death squads of three platoons, four platoons, and two platoons immediately entered combat readiness.
There are probably dozens of devils rushing in a hurry on the winding road from Tianpu Su Village to Pengjiawan, although the woods on both sides have been suffering from the war, but at night, it is still quite eerie and terrifying, and a section of tree trunks stands.
Now the devil doesn't care about this, no matter whether there is an ambush on both sides or not, he is just running forward desperately, because the pursuers behind him have been chasing closely.
In order to reach Pengjiawan in the brigade's base camp as soon as possible, many devils lost everything except for basic firearms and ammunition.
Suddenly, a burst of machine guns came from the front, and the devil who was running forward desperately was met with a solid knot.
The four or five devils in front of them were beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot, and they died of anger without even making a wail, and the devils behind immediately rolled down or rolled into the ditch next to them.
The devil who didn't die escaped this catastrophe, but he couldn't escape the pursuit behind, and the chasing soldiers behind him kept biting, and the devil's delay was instantaneous, and he immediately chased to the back.
The devil who was in charge of the back of the hall had to set up a gun in the ditch and shoot at the Chinese soldiers who caught up, but this path was too small, and there was no space for the devils on both sides to deploy their troops.
However, the tactical literacy of the devils determines their conditional launch, and after encountering a blockade, the first element is to seize the high ground, so they began to launch a rapid attack on a hill on the side.
Sangou had reminded the two platoon commanders of the third and fourth platoons of the death squad before that the devils were accustomed to tactics and paid attention to the devils' rapid seizure of the high ground.
Therefore, Lu Xing and Xie Zhongshu of the third and fourth platoons secretly set up blocking points on a few high ground on the side, mainly light machine guns mounted on them, anyway, they couldn't see it at night at all, as long as they didn't shoot.
In fact, even the devil knows, and he must attack hard, in the case of being ambushed, only by desperately snatching the high ground can he have a chance to escape, otherwise, they will all be killed.
Therefore, even if those devils were beaten by the machine guns on the hill and tumbled down, they still insisted on climbing up, feeling that what they were climbing was not a hill, but the hope of their own lives.
Although the 305th Regiment now only has one battalion left, it still has a strength of four or five hundred people, and it is impossible to let these dozens of devils remain here without killing them.
In the end, under the command of Lao Chang, the pursuers of the main force quickly pressed up, and finally crushed the devil's palace troops, mainly because of the devil's personnel loss, and now there are only a dozen people left behind the palace.
These dozen people only had rifles in their hands, and the bullets were obviously insufficient, so they could only fire one shot and stop for a while, and they often used almost a company's strength to press over from the flanks and fronts, and the devils didn't have time to stop them.
At a distance of several hundred meters, they quickly rushed to the end, and more than a dozen devils were immediately overwhelmed by almost a hundred Chinese soldiers, and in just a few minutes, the devils behind the palace could no longer make a sound, because they were all killed.
The rear of the palace was killed, and the people who seized the high ground were not defeated, and this group of devils finally knew what despair and fear were in the face of the Chinese soldiers who surrounded them.
In the end, the devils had almost all the bullets, and they had no ammunition on them, only a rifle and a bayonet, and they put the wounded soldiers in the middle of a paddy field.
In the end, a dozen devils turned their backs inwards and faced outwards, holding bayonets, waiting for the wolf-like Chinese soldiers to pounce on them.
Once upon a time, this situation mostly happened to Chinese soldiers, but now it has fallen, and it is the turn of the devils to taste it.
Sangou didn't want to make a final stab with the devil who jumped over the wall in a hurry, so he just sent a shuttle shell gun bullet over, and knocked down a few at once.
