Chapter 696: Killing a Brigade (Second Update!) )
"Regiment commander, the troops sent out by the devil have been killed again, and the guard company is in danger!" Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong reminded in time.
"There is also the third battalion of Battalion Commander Yang, which was blocked by the troops behind the palace of the Japanese puppet army, and there may not be a way to kill it in time, and cooperate with the guard company to flank the remaining Japanese puppet army before and after!"
Such a good start can't be ruined by some surprise.
Wang Ping quickly reacted: "Order the guard company to prepare for battle: the guard company is responsible for the devils in front, and the reconnaissance platoon and the direct team are responsible for the devils in the back, and kill and injure them in large numbers by blocking the battle!" ”
"Don't we still have forty pepper shells? The devils have gas masks and can't deal with them, but the puppet army doesn't, it's just right to use them to fight the puppet army! ”
"The artillery company was divided into two, and all the pepper shells were fired into the remaining puppet army groups before and after the battlefield, so that they could make a mess. As long as they are in disarray, the 1st and 3rd battalions have a chance to quickly crush them and break through their interception! ”
As soon as the cannonballs with paprika fell down, the puppet army panicked.
From the battalion commander to the ordinary soldiers, there was a look of fear on their faces.
"It's a poison gas bomb, an eight-way poison gas bomb, everyone is running for their lives!"
"This is a gas bomb, if you don't run for your life, you will be poisoned here!"
"Ah...... My eyes can't see! All kinds of fearful cries quickly sounded on the puppet army's temporary blocking position.
No one knows where the next pepper shell will hit, and on the position, even the puppet army that was not affected by the red smoke scattered in a hurry and left the position.
"Comrades, rush with me, cross the defense line of the puppet army, and kill the devils......" The two battalion commanders decisively gave the order to attack.
The deputy captain of the devil who was blocked by the guard company on the road had a solemn face, and the gunfire in front of him stopped, no accident, the captain must have encountered an accident. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to divide its forces to block itself.
Looking at the small number of troops at hand, and most of them were heavy machine gunners and gunners who did not have much combat effectiveness, the deputy captain realized that if he did not leave, he would immediately follow in the footsteps of the captain.
"The rear team changed to the front team, retreated, directly bypassed the Eighth Route Army on the road, and retreated to Linfen City!" The vice-captain commanded decisively.
After seeing the weight on the artilleryman's body, he followed the order: "Everyone only left their self-defense weapons, and the other equipment was thrown away, as long as we return to Linfen City alive, we will have any weapons." But if you die in battle, you won't be able to bring these weapons back! ”
An artillery squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, and an infantry squad that was not well organized, more than a hundred devils threw their weapons to the side of the road and began to retreat.
"Da ......" As soon as many devils left the road, the last thing they wanted to hear was the sound of machine gun fire.
The devils who walked in the front fell in response.
Then the devil found a new regiment of three battalions that rushed out of the darkness.
The machine gunner who rushed to the front, held the machine gun in his arms, and shot as he rushed forward. The devil gunners and heavy machine gunners, who were only equipped with self-defense weapons, did not even have a chance to fight back at all, and were directly slaughtered.
"Sir, the Eighth Route has broken through the defense line of our troops behind the palace, and the front is blocked, what should we do next?" The leader of the artillery squadron, who did not have much combat experience, ordered in a hurry.
The gunners had the worst individual ability of all the armies, and if they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, they would only be slaughtered by the Eighth Route Army.
"Bypass them, just rush out, you can go anywhere, let's go east!" The vice-captain also panicked, and ordered by pointing in a direction where there was no movement.
The commander of the artillery squadron immediately said: "All rush to the east with me, we must not be blocked here by the Eighth Route Army!" ”
As soon as they finished speaking, the familiar sound of machine gun fire was heard behind them.
The captain of the infantry squad behind the palace rushed over: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army is chasing the soldiers, they are equipped with a lot of machine guns, we are about to lose it!" ”
The deputy captain didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly ordered: "Hold on for two more minutes, and do whatever it takes." What are the others doing in a daze? Retreat to the east now, do you want to die here? ”
Yang Huping, the commander of the third battalion, held a light machine gun and rushed to the front first, not thinking of himself as the battalion commander at all.
But this also has the advantage that the devil's every move can't escape his eyes, and he can react immediately.
"It's not good, the devils are going to break through to the east, and the Eighth Company will rush up to me and block them. The others will continue to kill with me, shoot if they can get their guns, and don't save bullets for me. ”
The three battalions were divided into two and quickly slaughtered the battlefield.
At one o'clock in the morning, the gunfire on the battlefield completely stopped.
The chief of staff, who had made a tour of the battlefield, had a smile on his face along the way.
Before and after walking to Wang Ping, he was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth.
"Commander, we won, a brigade of devils was killed by us like this, and no one will believe it. Although there were dozens of devils running, there was also a deputy captain. But it's not that we didn't fight well, it's caused by a lack of troops! ”
"The rest of the devils have all been eliminated, and the corpses of the devils found on the battlefield add up to more than two hundred and twenty. Judging by the captured puppet army, there should be more than forty devils who took advantage of the chaos to escape! ”
"The puppet army was killed by more than 200 people, captured more than 400 people, and the rest all fled around the battlefield, I have organized six infantry platoons to pursue them, and I should be able to capture a lot of prisoners!"
Wang Ping nodded, his face was as calm as ever, and he didn't show too excited expression.
Zhong Chenggong was not a fool, and immediately asked, "Commander, are you worried about the fourth battalion!" ”
Wang Ping nodded and affirmed: "Yes, we have four battalions in the new regiment, and the first three battalions have been disabled, and there is only one fourth battalion left." In any case, the four battalions could not be disabled. Otherwise, it will take us a month or two to recover our strength, and we don't need to mention any development at all! ”
Then he asked Zhong Chenggong the question he was most concerned about: "What about the cannon?" Did the mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars brought by the devils be destroyed by them before they died! ”
"No, all the artillery pieces are intact!" Zhong Chenggong replied excitedly.
"If all these artillery pieces are incorporated into the troops, our new regiment will definitely have the strength to set up an artillery battalion!"
Wang Ping's calm face finally showed a long-lost smile.
"I don't know if an artillery battalion can be formed. But I knew that with these artillery, the fourth battalion would be saved! ”
Zhong Chenggong's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Commander, do you have a way?" ”
"There's already an idea!" Wang Ping did not hide it.
Then the order began: "The troops immediately clean up the battlefield, and before dawn, all the captures, especially those artillery, must be hidden!" ”
"Chief of Staff, you immediately send a telegram to Battalion Commander Rong of the Fourth Battalion, he doesn't have to hold out for two days. Tomorrow, as soon as it dawns, I will bring the troops to Tianxin Town and bring the devil to Tianxin Town! ”
The troops were suddenly attacked, and the new regiment came up with pepper bombs, and the headquarters was disrupted, so that the captain of the devil brigade and the telegraph operator lost contact.
Until the end of the battle, Major General Matsumoto in Linfen City didn't know that his brigade was over!
It was not until the deputy captain entered Linfen City with dozens of remnants that Major General Matsumoto received the news.
And the moment he received the news, the furious Matsumoto smashed a beautiful antique vase to pieces.
