Chapter 363: Annihilation of the Artillery Wing

On a fairly flat road, more than 2,000 Japanese artillerymen were struggling to rush with fifty or sixty cannons, and this Japanese force was the 7th Field Artillery Wing that Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi was waiting for. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Japanese army's field artillery wing is generally staffed by about 2,200 people, and there are three artillery brigades of about 700 people, each of which has 12 cannons, plus some small mountain artillery and mortars, and a field artillery wing has about 50 artillery pieces.

"Order the troops to speed up, the warriors of our imperial army are being ambushed by the despicable Shina people, and every minute of delay there are more than a dozen warriors killed under the fire of the Shina people, and the shameless Shina people must not be allowed to be complacent any longer."

Under the urging of Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi, the commander of the 7th Field Artillery Wing, Yutaka Muraoka, had no choice but to keep ordering to speed up the advance so that the artillery positions could be arranged as soon as possible to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey, Wing Commander, I'm going to deliver the order." A communications soldier replied.

"It's all to blame for the idiot Nobuki Morimoto, who only cared about chasing down the Shina people, which caused the serious consequences of the disconnection between the front and back of the troops. Hehe, now I'm finally eating turtles, and I still have to rely on my artillery wing at a critical time. Although he knew that he shouldn't, Nagamura Oka Yutaka still gloated about Nobuki Morimoto's self-inflicted suffering.

At the same time, just as Nagamura Oka Yutaka led the 7th Field Artillery Wing to rush away, he did not know that his 7th Field Artillery Wing had become the prey of the main force of the 8th Brigade that had been reinforced.

"Brigade commander, there is a Japanese artillery unit on the road ahead, and in my judgment, it should be an independent mixed 13th Brigade Regiment in order to pursue the 23rd Regiment, resulting in the disconnection between the infantry wing and the artillery wing." Reconnaissance company commander Ma Ende reported to Deng Hua.

Deng Hua didn't say anything, but the political commissar He Yunsheng stood up excitedly when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Brigade commander, the devil's artillery unit has no protection from the infantry, and it is like a girl who has stripped naked, let's do his vote first." Moreover, if the Japanese artillery units were the first to be wiped out by us, then they would be like toothless tigers, and the 23rd Regiment alone could annihilate them. ”

"Okay, order all units to prepare for battle immediately, gather all automatic firepower to charge first, crush the Japanese in one fell swoop, capture their artillery, and annihilate them all." Deng Hua is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and when the fighter came, he quickly made a decision and gave the order to attack.

Under Deng Hua's order, the assembled elite soldiers took various automatic firearms such as Czech-style machine guns and Sanqi rifles and easily cut into the marching ranks of the Seventh Field Artillery Wing like a sharp sword, cutting off the Japanese troops at the waist.

The field artillery wing of the Japanese army was caught off guard, and was immediately divided and surrounded by the Eighth Brigade, and fell into a desperate situation of certain death. The 7th Field Artillery Wing was in a state of rapid march, and did not form an artillery position, and in the face of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were like wolves, they could only be slaughtered.

"Dada......"

The Czech machine gun was so powerful in the charge that there was no enemy under his muzzle, and the Japanese soldiers were strafed into a hornet's nest by the machine guns one by one at close range.

"Yaga! How did the Chinese troops appear here, weren't they fighting with the infantry wing of the brigade? Seeing that his artillery was constantly being shot by the Eighth Route Army, Nagamuraoka Yutaka was dumbfounded, and his face was full of disbelief.

Then he thought of the possibility that the troops who were attacking were not the troops engaged with the brigade infantry, but the Chinese troops who had come to their aid, just like them.

Thinking of this possibility, Nagamura Okatotaka knew that this was going to be the end, his artillery wing was in a marching situation, all the artillery had become ornaments, and there was not much combat effectiveness at all, so he could only be slaughtered by the Eighth Route Army.

And after the main infantry force of the brigade is covered by the artillery fire of the field artillery wing, let alone defeating the Eighth Route Army, whether it can retreat in its entirety is also a big question mark.

"Signal soldier, immediately send a report to His Excellency the Brigade Commander, we have been fooled, this is a killing situation set up by the Zhi Na people to eliminate our brigade. The field artillery wing has been attacked by the despicable Chinese people, and the total annihilation of the army is imminent, and it is basically impossible to rush to the front line. Nagamura Oka Yutaka ordered the signal soldier.

"Hey!" The signal soldier responded.

After sending the telegram, Nagamura Oka Yutaka knew that his troops were finished, but the main force of the brigade still had a chance to save. Therefore, Nagamura Okatotaka, who knew that he was going to die, gathered dozens of guards and launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army. , I hope that with my own sacrifice, I can buy time for the main force of the brigade to break through.

"Kill, give!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

I have to say that almost everyone in the Japanese army in the early days of the all-out war of resistance was elite, and in the desperate situation of knowing that they would die, the Japanese army still fought hard to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army with a fearless attitude.

"Bang! Bang! ”

The sound of the 38 big cover continued to sound, the Japanese soldiers used the cannon as a barrier, hiding behind the cannon and constantly shooting deadly bullets at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers who rushed to the front did not expect that the Japanese army still had the power to resist in this desperate situation, and more than a dozen soldiers in the next company were shot and killed by the Japanese soldiers.

Seeing that the casualties were increasing, Deng Hua could no longer care about the captured Japanese artillery, so he gave an order to the artillery troops: "Where are the mortars, knock out the Japanese counterattack fire points for me." Don't care about the cannons, as long as there are people, what cannons will not be in the future? ”

"Boom!"

After receiving Deng Hua's order, the artillery unit of the Eighth Brigade no longer had any scruples, and immediately deployed mortars and aimed their guns at the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the cannons.

As a result, the Japanese soldiers were quickly shattered by the shells and the artillery in front of them, and their wing commander, Yutaka Muraoka, was also killed in the shelling of the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as Nagamura Oka Yutaka died, the Japanese army suddenly became headless flies, and it was no longer possible to assemble to pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army. Under the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, a small string of flames from the Japanese counterattack was quickly extinguished.

"Tick Tick Tick...... Tick Tick Tick Tick ......"

The Japanese counterattack was weak, Deng Hua immediately ordered the trumpeter to blow the trumpet, and the Eighth Route Army, which numbered more than 6,000 people, surrounded and killed from all directions.

At this point in the battle, the victory or defeat had completely lost suspense, the Japanese Seventh Field Artillery Wing continued to divide and surround the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and after losing the effective command of Nagamura Okatoyo, the Japanese soldiers fought separately and were soon wiped out by the Eighth Route Army one by one.

Even at the end of the battle, more than 100 Japanese soldiers who were completely desperate laid down their arms and surrendered to our Eighth Route Army for the first time, and since then, the Japanese Seventh Field Artillery Wing has been completely annihilated.
