Chapter 30: The Bloody Battle of Luodian (2)

Bai Fei walked up to Battalion Commander Xu and said, "Battalion Commander Xu, are you satisfied with our combat effectiveness?" ”

Xu Changsheng, who was stunned again, came back to his senses and stammered: "White... Captain Bai, this... Is the battle over? ”

Bai Fei said: "It's not completely over yet, there are still dozens of little devils below who haven't been killed yet, so I'll leave it to you to clean up, no problem, right?" ”

Xu Changsheng hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem, just leave it to us, you guys are going to..."

Bai Fei said: "I left some people to help you defend, and now I am going to bring people to help your regiment leader." ”

After speaking, Bai Fei ordered Li Shuyang's second company to stay behind to assist in the defense, and he himself took the sniper team, artillery company and Wang Weiguo's first company, cleaned up and immediately went to the main position of the 66th Regiment south of Zhou's house, where the fighting was fierce at this time.

It turned out that in order to break through the defense line set up by the Chinese army on the line from Luodian to Liuhang, and then threaten Dachang Guangfu and other places, so as to achieve the goal of dividing the Chinese army, Matsui Ishone, commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, ordered about 27,000 men of the Third Division to attack continuously day and night, in an attempt to open the passage to the south as soon as possible. The Third Division is a veteran Japanese force, and although it has made repeated progress in the past few days under the coordinated operation of aircraft and tanks, when it reached the Hutai Highway in the west, it was met with desperate resistance from the 11th, 59th, and 61st divisions of the Chinese army, and was no longer able to advance half a step.

The commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Shin, was furious and strictly ordered the 5th Infantry Brigade to open the gap no matter what it is today, otherwise it will be subject to military law. The commander of the 5th Brigade, Riichiro Katayama, after consulting with his staff officers, decided to carry out a tentative attack with a small unit. After several successive attacks, it was found that the defense of the Chinese army on the line from the Liuwei Bridge to the Lianqi River was relatively weak, which was the area defended by the 66th Regiment of the National Army.

Riichiro Katayama immediately mobilized heavy troops, with 2,000 men of the 68th Wing and tanks, and the troops marched in parallel from the north and south to break through this line. Unexpectedly, not long after more than 700 people on the north road rushed up, they received a report that the whole army was annihilated, and Ichiro Katayama was shocked and was about to transfer troops for reinforcements, but he received a report from the South Route Army that he had landed on the position of the Chinese army, and the two sides were engaged in a white-knuckle battle in close combat.

Weighing the pros and cons, Riichiro Katayama decided to immediately transfer the 6th Wing to the south route for reinforcements, and also sent out the tanks that could be sent out in his hand, in an attempt to break through the defense line of the Chinese army in one go.

……

Let's say that after Hu Lian, the commander of the 66th Regiment, took a group of his men to the position, at this time, more than 1,000 Japanese troops on the south road were gradually advancing under the cover of tanks, and after the enemy entered the firing range, Hu Lian ordered to open fire and counterattack, and soon hundreds of Japanese soldiers were killed. The Japanese tank artillery immediately retaliated, and one shell after another fell straight down on the Nationalist camp, and the Japanese infantry also relied on the cover of tanks to fire intensively at the Chinese troops above the position.

The exchange of fire between the two sides was very fierce, and although the 66th Regiment suffered heavy casualties, it did not retreat, and the only five heavy machine guns were also blown up, and three were destroyed. The regiment commander Hu Lian gritted his teeth and pushed away a heavy machine gun shooter who was killed, personally used Makqin to strafe the devils, killed dozens of Japanese soldiers, and smashed a Type 99 light tank at close range. Fortunately, the guards were clever and knocked him down in time, and Hu Lian picked up a life. At this time, the tanks of the devils were already approaching the front of the position. Hu Lian immediately ordered people to carry cluster grenades to blow up the Japanese tanks, but the Japanese fought in tandem, and often the demomen were beaten into a sieve before they could climb in front of the tank.

After sacrificing 19 soldiers of the National Army, 3 Japanese tanks were finally blown up. But at this time, the vanguard of the Japanese infantry had rushed to the position, and the rear reinforcements were endless, Hu Lian knew that the position could not be held, so he had to die for his country. He held a big knife in his hand, stood up and shouted: "Brothers, Chengren is today, follow me to kill the enemy to death, bayonet, kill!" ”

The officers and men of the 66th Regiment of the National Army were killed for a time, Hu Lian rushed into the enemy formation and cut down people when he saw them, the Japanese army was defenseless, hurriedly retreated with rifles and bullets to resist desperately, and the two sides immediately launched a white-knuckle battle on the position.

Bai Fei, who rushed to reinforce him, happened to see this scene, so the Chinese and Japanese soldiers on the position were scuffling and could not directly shoot to assist. He immediately ordered the artillery company and sniper team to fight freely against the Japanese tanks and devil officers who were showing off their might on the battlefield, and at the same time ordered Wang Weiguo's company to set up Gatling and strike at the Japanese infantry units from the flank.

Bai Fei's assistance quickly destroyed most of the remaining tanks of the 68th Wing, and at the same time, the astonishing rate of fire of the Gatling machine gun cut off the Japanese troops who had been rushing to the position of the 66th Regiment.

Due to the blockage of the follow-up troops, the Japanese offensive posture was stagnant, and the Hu Lian troops on the position immediately felt the pressure greatly reduced, and the officers and men of the 66th Regiment, who were originally determined to die, saw that there was still hope for survival, and immediately burst out with a strong will to survive, which was directly manifested in the fact that everyone was like a chicken blood, and the battle became more and more violent.

Although Bai Fei blocked the Japanese attack, the Japanese soon found that the resistance from the flank of the Chinese army was the most deadly, and in order to take the position, this stronghold must be uprooted. The commander of the Japanese wing immediately ordered the tanks reinforcing the 6th Wing to turn around and start firing in this direction.

A series of shells fell around the White Flying position, and the Protector Army immediately began to suffer casualties, and the Gatling machine gun also became a key target for the Japanese tanks. Even Bai Fei, who was standing nearby and commanding the battle, was also affected, but fortunately, Wang Weiguo and the dumb man pressed him under him, so he was able to avoid being injured.

As soon as Gatling put out the fire, the Japanese infantry took the opportunity to rush towards this side in a steady stream. Bai Fei got up and found out about this situation, and immediately asked Gatling to be set up again, and Wang Weiguo personally operated the gun and continued to shoot wildly at the devil.

At this time, the devil tank was still firing, and more than a dozen people in the first company of the Protector Army had been killed and injured, Bai Fei roared angrily: "Wu artillery, immediately blow up all the devil's tanks for me." Wu Cannon calculated and said in embarrassment: "Tuanza, the Japanese tank has exceeded the range of rocket artillery." ”

Bai Fei said: "Find a way to break through, I will let the special combat team assist you, and you must blow up all the devil tanks." He immediately radioed the special operations captain Li Hu and ordered a new order.

Originally, he planned to let the special combat team sneak to the rear of the Japanese army, wait for the battlefield to start, attack the enemy with advanced weapons, and form an encirclement from the rear when the enemy breaks and flees, and completely annihilate the Japanese army. Now it seems that such a plan is a bit taken for granted, perhaps it is to eliminate thousands of devils in the Taihang Mountains, and the fight is too easy, resulting in some self-confidence, or they are accustomed to guerrilla warfare in the mountains, thinking that a shot to change places is a magic weapon for victory, forgetting the cruelty and bloodiness of positional warfare.

At this time, Bai Fei deeply felt the difference between frontal positional warfare and guerrilla warfare, this place is not like the mountains, where you can change places with one shot, surrounded by reckless mountains and forests, it is easy to hide and save your life; But here it is flat and unsheltered, and there are not so many places to hide. Therefore, if he changes places with one shot and saves himself to kill and wound the enemy, it will have no effect on the frontal battlefield. In addition, fighting guerrilla warfare can allow the enemy to advance and retreat, to put it bluntly, I can't beat you, and I can't outrun you? It's a big deal, I'll beat you up again when I have the chance. But how do you hide and retreat in a positional battle of frontal defense? Behind you is the relatives and fathers of Paoze, the military order is like a mountain, this is your position, you must hold it, retreat, you are losing your position, you will be dealt with by military law.

The Gatling guns were still roaring, and a company of soldiers were also raising their guns to shoot, and although the Japanese were outnumbered, they were never able to take the Protector position. Bai Fei now regrets why he didn't change the advanced equipment for the brothers of the first and second companies at that time, and now most of them still have the weapons of the original unit in their hands, and more than a dozen people don't even have weapons, but they just rely on a few grenades on their bodies to fight the devils.

Just when Bai Fei blamed himself in his heart, a unique AK47 shooting sound suddenly sounded in the rear of the Japanese army, and then he saw the explosion of the Japanese tank group, and nearly ten tanks turned into fireworks one after another.

Bai Fei knew that the attack of the special combat team and the artillery company had worked, but he didn't know how the casualties were, and his heart became heavy when he thought of this. But at this time, being on the battlefield does not allow for sentimentality. He looked around in the trenches and saw that the battle was in full swing at this time, and no one paid attention to it at all, only the mute alone. He immediately exchanged two more Gatlings plus 150,000 rounds of ammunition, as well as 100 RPG-7 high-explosive armor-piercing incendiary bombs and fragmentation grenades, and immediately a large pile of weapons and equipment was piled on the ground.

Bai Fei walked out, made a look, dumb and understood, and immediately went back to call someone to come over to carry it, and at the same time gave two Gatling equipment to the first company.

After the firepower was strengthened, the attack of the devil sea of people suddenly stopped, and slowly retreated.

It turned out that the 68th Wing, which was the main attack force of the Japanese army, had already been wiped out, and the 6th Wing, which had been reinforced, had also lost one-third at this time, especially after all the tanks were bombed, without the cover of armor and shells, in the face of such a fierce machine-gun blockade, the attack was tantamount to suicide. The former enemy commander did not dare to continue to order the troops to charge, and reported the situation here to the brigade commander Riichiro Katayama, asking for tactical guidance.

When Riichiro Katayama heard the news, his face was flushed with anger, he couldn't figure it out, 15 minutes ago, he received a report that the front army had already boarded the position of the Chinese army, why did even the reinforcements lose so much at this moment, and the most important thing is that so many tanks were all reimbursed?

In order to ensure the accuracy of the message, Katayama Riichiro ordered someone to confirm it again, and after confirming that the news was correct, Katayama Riichiro couldn't hold back anymore, coughed violently, he wiped his mouth with a white hand towel, but found that the silk was red, all blood.
