Chapter 847: The Ninth Battalion Number

"Hygienist, come here!"

Fang Chaoqun's cheeks were full of blood, and the soldiers on the side hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Bang bang." As soon as the fighter's voice fell, a shuttle of bullets came from a distance, and the warrior was hit by five bullets in the body, and he was killed on the spot.

"What the hell are the artillerymen doing, immediately open fire and suppress the Japanese firepower!" Fang Chaoqun wiped the blood on his cheek with his right hand, and he roared angrily.

The army is a place where a person can be changed, and the battlefield is a place where a person can be changed quickly.

Fang Chaoqun used to be a political commissar, and this kind of thing would not happen to Fang Chaoqun at all, but when he went to the battlefield, within a few hours, Fang Chaoqun learned this.

"Boom, boom!"

THE ARTILLERYMEN BEHIND SEEMED TO HEAR FANG CHAOQUN'S CURSE, AND THE FOUR 65MM FIELD GUNS IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO FIRE.

A SHELL ACCURATELY LANDED IN THE FRONT HOUSE, AND A 75MM FIELD GUN HIDDEN BY THE JAPANESE ARMY INSIDE THE HOUSE WAS DESTROYED ON THE SPOT.

AFTER A WHILE, FOUR 65MM FIELD GUNS, FOUR 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, AND THREE TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS DIRECTLY UNDER THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE UNNAMED REGIMENT, AND THREE TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS DIRECTLY UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTARY MACHINE GUN COMPANY OF THE FIRST BATTALION BEGAN TO FIRE.

Eleven artillery pieces were suppressed, eleven Vickers tanks led the infantry charge, and the Japanese deployed in Dongzhai Town were overcome.

"Battalion Commander Gu, the division commander has relented, take Dongzhai Town, end up the Japanese army's independent mixed second brigade headquarters, kill or capture the Japanese major general's brigade and regiment, and supplement the first battalion to restore the ninth battalion number. I rushed to the center of town with the first company of the supplementary battalion and the machine gun company and five tanks, and you and the rest of the troops attacked along the flanks to cover us. Today, no matter what, we have to take the headquarters of the Little Devil Brigade, and whether we can restore the number of the ninth battalion depends on this operation. ”

The troops advanced continuously for five hundred meters, and Fang Chaoqun immediately found Gu Yan, the commander of the first battalion, who gave the order in a serious tone.

Gu Yan is twenty-six years old, is a graduate of Whampoa, he has been serving as a staff officer in the 129th Division, this time Sun Weiguo focused on adjusting the officers of the Unknown Regiment, after Shen Wei's recommendation, Sun Weiguo personally ran to the 129th Division, after a long day, Sun Weiguo asked Gu Yan from the 129th Division.

After coming from the 129th Division to the Honorary Second Division, Sun Weiguo directly appointed Gu Yan as the commander of the first battalion of the Unknown Regiment Supplement.

After a period of training, the first battalion of the supplementary battalion has undergone great changes in both combat effectiveness and morale.

In this offensive operation against Dongzhai Town, the first battalion of the supplementary battalion did not retreat if it advanced, and in the entire course of the operation, no officers and men of the supplementary first battalion took a step back.

Except for the seriously wounded who were carried to the back for treatment, even if they were lightly wounded, they stayed in place and bandaged quickly after being wounded and then put into battle.

"Regiment leader, don't worry, if you can't wipe out the little devils in Dongzhai Town this time, I'll come to see you!" Gu Yan immediately replied.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army in the town began to divide their troops, Fang Chaoqun took the first company, the machine gun company, and five tanks to break directly towards the center of the town, and Gu Yan, the commander of the first battalion, led two infantry companies and six Vickers tanks to attack from both sides to cover the advance of Fang Chaoqun's troops.

As the commander of the first battalion of the supplement, Gu Yan always rushed to the front, holding a Type 38 rifle, and constantly leaping forward.

The first battalion of the Unknown Regiment supplemented the advance speed very fast, especially when the Japanese field troops began to be completely annihilated, and the resistance of the devil soldiers who temporarily put together non-combat arms such as sappers, baggage soldiers, and service soldiers was not an opponent at all.

With tank and artillery support, the supplementary 1st Battalion advanced rapidly, and by 3:50 p.m. on 19 September, most of Dongzhai Town had begun to be recaptured.

The Japanese army independently mixed the headquarters of the 2nd Brigade and less than 200 troops huddled in the fortifications in the center of the town, and they were making a final resistance.

"Comrades, take down the little devil brigade headquarters, and our troops will be able to restore the number of the ninth battalion, and rush with me!"

The troops of the first battalion of the supplementary battalion began to operate under the command of Gu Yan, eleven tanks were deployed in different positions, the tank engines were activated, and the tracks began to run over the ground.

Tank and machine guns continued to strafe the Japanese positions, and the soldiers followed behind their commanders as they rushed towards the Devil Soldiers' positions.

"Da-da-da-da." A Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun began to fire, and three bullets hit the Vickers tank armor.

These three bullets did not bring any damage to the Vickers tank, but as the Japanese heavy machine gun began to fire, the position of the heavy machine gun was exposed, and a Type 92 infantry gun that supplemented the machine gun company of the first battalion was immediately loaded with a grenade, and the grenade was quickly fired and hit directly at the position of the Japanese heavy machine gun.

The Japanese heavy machine guns were destroyed, the tanks accelerated, and the infantry also accelerated.

Light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, mortars, field artillery, mountain artillery covered the fire, and the Japanese troops were suppressed to the death, and there was no chance of firing at all.

The tank was less than 200 meters away from the Japanese position, and the devil soldiers began to rush out of the trenches, and more than 50 devil soldiers quickly ran towards the tank.

They wanted to blow up the tank, but the infantry who followed behind the tank would not give the devil soldiers this chance.

"Bang bang." The sound of crisp rifle shooting sounded, and a ghost soldier became a live target for the rifleman.

More than 50 devil soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and they were shot by rifles before they could get within 100 meters of the tank.

In the headquarters of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, Major General Brigade Commander Tsuneoka Kanji listened to the constant gunfire outside, and his face became unusually pale.

Kanji Tsuneoka had a southern pistol in his right hand, and his eyes kept looking towards the door.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, we have been completely surrounded, we have no chance to break out at all, the Chinese troops have deployed eleven tanks and hundreds of officers and soldiers around them, and they have at least a dozen artillery pieces, and there are more Chinese tanks and infantry on the periphery of Dongzhai Town."

Chief of Staff Nakasa came to Kanji Tsuneoka, and he reported in a solemn tone.

"Order the troops to fight until the last moment, be sure to inflict maximum damage on the Chinese troops, send a farewell message to the regimental headquarters of the 26th Division, and then destroy the radio station and burn all the documents."

Kanji Tsuneoka immediately gave the order, he was completely desperate, and now he himself knew that he would not have a chance to survive at all.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, we should try it, maybe there is still a possibility of breaking out." The captain of the Fifth Brigade, who was also at the brigade headquarters, came to Toneoka Kanji and solemnly suggested.

"There's no more chance, even if you can break through......" Tsuneoka said in a lost tone, picking up his pistol and aiming it at his temple.
