Chapter 498: Don't Keep Prisoners
The mechanized artillery company of the armored battalion was transported by cross-bucket motorcycles and trucks, and the cavalry battalion machine gun platoon assigned to the mechanized artillery company was quickly maneuvered by trucks this time.
The 3rd Brigade set up a temporary brigade headquarters at a distance of a kilometer from Donghui Town, where fortifications were erected, but they would never have imagined that the artillery would be able to quickly maneuver to their flanks to fight, and such a tactic would be tantamount to putting bayonets on the artillery.
Five Makqin heavy machine guns had already begun to build a heavy machine gun position, and one machine gun with a black hole in the muzzle was aimed at the devil soldiers, who were waiting for the order to shoot.
SIX 20MM GUNS, FOUR TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS, AND THREE 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS ALSO SET UP ARTILLERY POSITIONS, OF WHICH MACHINE GUNS AND INFANTRY GUNS HAVE BEGUN TO FIRE.
The 37MM anti-tank gun was regarded as a treasure by the artillerymen, and Ma Xuepeng never found a suitable shooting target, so he did not direct the artillery to shoot.
You must know that the shells of anti-tank guns are very precious, and all of these shells are missing one after one is fired, and there is no way to replenish them at all.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
While the artillerymen were firing, the four mountain guns of the 132nd Wing Artillery Squadron of the Japanese Army in Huang'an Village also began to fire grenades, and one grenade after another quickly hit the artillery position.
Probably because the Japanese artillery fired in a hurry, the Japanese artillery, which has always had a strong accuracy, missed three shells this time, but one of the shells still accurately hit an infantry gun, which was destroyed on the spot, eight artillery officers were also killed, and the explosion of the rest of the grenades brought the artillerymen the price of seven or eight soldiers wounded.
The artillerymen did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and they immediately began to transfer the artillery, which was fortunately light and easy to transfer.
Although the four mountain guns of the Japanese army in the former Huang'an Village played a great role in reinforcing the third brigade, these four mountain guns could no longer restore the situation on the battlefield.
Captain Shaozo of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army gave up the evacuation, and he ordered the troops to begin to hold improvised positions, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
"Da Da Da!" The tank's machine guns continued to strafe, and one of the devil soldiers began to fall to the ground.
At this time, there were more than 180 devil soldiers of the 3rd Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, who were responsible for the flank roundabout operation, and now there were only more than 30 people, and these more than 30 people were lying on the ground in embarrassment, their faces became as pale as paper, and they had no way to face the attack of the tanks.
Six tanks and nine armoured vehicles were constantly strafing with machine guns, and these tanks and armoured vehicles covered each other without giving the devils any chance to get closer.
The tank tracks ruthlessly ran over the corpses of the ghost soldiers, and the minced flesh began to hang on the tank's tracks, and the blood began to gather into a stream of water on the ground.
The ghost soldiers who were originally showing off their martial arts had timid expressions on their faces, and they desperately crawled backwards, they wanted to evacuate here, in their opinion, this place was hell.
But where would they have thought that when they slaughtered innocent people, when they brutally killed Chinese prisoners of war, they would be even more cruel.
In the face of the brutal devil soldiers, the soldiers of the New Second Brigade will not have any mercy, and every time Sun Weiguo trains officers and holds combat meetings, he has to emphasize many times that the troops of the New Second Brigade are not allowed to have any Japanese prisoners.
Even though Shen Wei and Sun Weiguo had talked about this matter many times, Sun Weiguo never changed this order.
The devil soldiers did evil on the land of China, doing so many things that only birds and beasts can do, and they were served with good food and drink after being captured, Sun Weiguo would not agree.
Sun Weiguo, the other troops of the Eighth Route Army, can't control it, but the troops of the New Second Brigade will definitely not have Japanese prisoners.
"Little devil, aren't you very powerful, come, come to grandpa, grandpa has something delicious for you."
Inside a Type 91 armored car, a machine gun shooter shouted loudly, he looked out through the observation hole, and when he saw a moving ghost soldier, the machine gun shooter would not hesitate to shoot.
"Lao Xiao, if we continue to fight like this, will there be a problem, the political commissar has held a meeting for us, if we can capture the devil soldiers, we will try to capture some of them."
The instructor of the armored car company was riding in a Type 92 armored car with the company commander Xiao Zhiwei, and seeing that there was a chance to capture the devil soldiers on the battlefield, the instructor said hesitantly.
After the expansion of the New Second Brigade, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has assigned the New Second Brigade a large number of political workers, and at present the New Second Brigade has instructors in the company, instructors in the battalion, and political commissars in regimental and brigade-level units.
"Didn't the little devil lay down his arms? They are still shooting, how can we capture them, Lao Chen, it's not that I don't cooperate with your work, you also know that these armored soldiers are treasures, we can't risk capturing the ghost soldiers, Lao Chen, your machine gun is good, hurry up and solve the battle, our armored battalion is a trump card, we can't waste too much time here. ”
Xiao Zhiwei said happily, but the machine gun in his hand never stopped firing.
The remaining devil soldiers of the third squadron were like ants in front of armored vehicles and tanks, and they had no ability to resist at all.
At 8:40 a.m., after more than half an hour of fighting, the troops of the New Second Brigade took the lead in eating up an infantry squadron of the Japanese army.
At this time, the main force of the third brigade of the Japanese army had been surrounded by the troops of the new second brigade, and it was naturally impossible for them to escape.
However, the only regret is that the former Huang'an Village, which should have been occupied according to the plan, is still in the hands of the Japanese army, which means that the Japanese army can reinforce through the former Huang'an Village at any time, and the battlefield is still uncertain.
In particular, the artillery squadron of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese Army in the former Huang'an Village, these four mountain guns brought a lot of losses to the troops of the New Second Brigade.
"Captain, there are more than a thousand cavalry in the periphery of Donghui Town, and they have also dispatched tanks and armored vehicles, and the third brigade has been surrounded, and the former Huang'an Village has also encountered a frantic onslaught by the Chinese troops, and the two infantry squadrons that have been sent to reinforce the past have been pinned, and the third brigade is likely to be all shattered!"
The chief of staff of the 132nd Wing hurriedly came to the captain of the wing, Eiichi Eichi, and said with an anxious face.
"Immediately send a telegram to the brigade headquarters to request tactical guidance, and at the same time request the brigade headquarters to contact the aviation regiment and dispatch bombers to help in the battle! In addition, the infantry artillery squadron attached to the 2nd Brigade was transferred to the former Huang'an Village to assist in the battle, and first assisted the 3rd Brigade in defense. Ebi, who hesitated slightly, immediately began to give orders.
"Hey, Co-Captain." The chief of staff of Shao Zuo hurriedly saluted, and then he quickly ran back towards the village wing headquarters.
