Chapter 348: Battle in the Northwest of Jin 48

The Koizumi Brigade began to evacuate, and at this time Koizumi Shaozo stood with the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 119th Wing.

The expressions on the faces of the two men were not very good, and their faces were full of anger.

Even though they knew that the First Reserve Regiment of Loufan County had been supported by the local troops of the Eighth Route Army and the troops of the Jin Sui Army, they did not take these two troops into account.

In their opinion, an infantry brigade of their own can defeat tens of thousands of local troops of the Eighth Route Army, and can also defeat a regular army of the Jin Sui Army.

But neither of the two Japanese soldiers would have expected that the troops of the Jin Sui Army would appear on their flanks and take them off guard.

"Captain, we currently have two infantry squadrons that can participate in the battle, and the machine gun squadron has also lost five heavy machine guns."

"Captain, we still have more than 400 people who can continue to fight, and the machine gun squadron has also lost six heavy machine guns."

Two officers from the Koizumi Brigade and the Third Brigade had already come to the two Shaozo, and they were softly reporting the losses of their brigade.

When the two Shaozuo captains heard the report of their subordinates, their faces became gloomy, and their eyes looked coldly towards the north city gate.

"Contact the artillery brigade and give me a hard shelling of the North City Gate. The troops of the Jin Sui army took us by surprise and caused us certain losses, but now that they are guarding their positions, they will not be our opponents at all. ”

Koizumi Shaozo looked at the North City Gate coldly, with a disdainful expression on his face, he said in a cold tone.

"Mixi, what Koizumi-kun said is very reasonable, if they engage in a sneak attack, it may bring us some casualties, but they are holding the position, it is simply looking for death, quickly contact the artillery brigade, and fiercely shell the position of the Chinese troops."

The captain of the third brigade also said hurriedly, his face full of grim expressions.

The Japanese signal corps began to make contact with the artillery brigade via radio, and the telegrams began to be sent to the artillery brigade quickly.

Unlike the Chinese troops, the Japanese army unit radios were equipped to the brigade level, and each brigade had its own station.

Japanese troops can get in touch with each other through the radio, thus increasing their own combat efficiency.

AFTER THE ARTILLERY BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS RECEIVED THE REQUEST OF THE FRONT-LINE INFANTRY, TWELVE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS BEGAN TO TURN THEIR MUZZLES.

But it was at this time that the mutations began to appear.

The Japanese artillery and infantry on the high ground had adapted to the presence of three tanks and three armored vehicles, and they all believed that these armored units had been sent by Shiro Miura to strengthen the defense of the artillery position.

The artillerymen had been busy all the time, and no one came to inquire, and they felt that since the infantry stationed on the periphery had been released, there must be no problem with these armored units.

The devil soldiers on the artillery position had adapted to the presence of armored troops, but how would they know that these armored units were armored companies of the first regiment of reserves, tanks and armored vehicles that had been prepared, and as Yin Jinshan's order was given, they began to shoot.

The 37MM tank guns of the three Type 95 tanks took the lead in starting to shoot, and the anti-personnel grenades were fired by them, and one by one the anti-personnel grenades accurately landed on the position of the heavy machine guns, and the three heavy machine guns were blown up, and all the devil soldiers guarding the heavy machine guns died.

The sudden explosion of the shell made the ghost soldiers completely stunned, and all the ghost soldiers looked at the tank in confusion.

The only remaining heavy machine gun did not fire, and the shooter had an angry expression on his face, which he thought had gone off fire.

But then, the three Type 91 armored cars began to drive slowly.

The machine guns inside the armored vehicles were constantly firing, and the only heavy machine gun in the Japanese artillery position was hit by a rain of bullets.

Before the shooters could react, they were sieveed by machine-gun bullets.

With the four heavy machine guns completely destroyed and suppressed, the Japanese artillerymen reacted quickly.

They realized that the tank's fire was not misfired, but that the armored force was attacking them.

Some artillerymen quickly picked up their rifles and fired at tanks and armored vehicles, the armor thickness of the armored vehicles and tanks of the little devils was not very high, but there was no pressure to defend against the attacks of these bullets.

Bullets clanged on armored vehicles and tanks, and the rifle fire of the Japanese artillery did not pose any threat to the armored forces.

Yin Jinshan commanded the tanks and armored vehicles to form an offensive formation, and the tanks and armored vehicles quickly rushed towards the artillery.

"Hurry up and take aim." The commander of the Japanese artillery brigade shouted loudly, his face full of anxious expressions.

The Japanese artillerymen were turning the muzzles of the mountain guns, and they wanted to aim them at tanks and armored vehicles.

The infantrymen stationed on the perimeter heard the sound of the artillery position, and their faces were full of astonishment.

The infantry reacted quickly, and the Japanese captain squadron leader raised his saber and shouted "Kill it." ”

Two squads of hundreds of devil soldiers quickly took up their weapons, and they quickly advanced towards the artillery position.

"Da Da Da!" At the same time as the devil soldiers were advancing towards the artillery position, Qin Xianliang commanded three heavy machine guns and three light machine guns to fire.

The Maxim heavy machine gun equipped with the regimental headquarters company was produced by the original German factory, and this heavy machine gun was fed with a 250-round ammunition chain.

The people who control the Maxim heavy machine gun are elite veterans, even if they are ammunition men, they can skillfully control the heavy machine gun for shooting.

Three Maxim heavy machine guns began to fire at each other, and bullets shot at the devil soldiers.

The devil soldiers who were advancing towards the artillery position fell to the ground one after another, as if in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen devil soldiers died on the spot.

The Devil Soldiers' reaction was very fast, and they immediately fell to the ground, and a grenadier began to be erected quickly.

"Transfer." Qin Xianliang immediately gave the order, and the veterans reacted very quickly, and they quickly lifted the crane gun to transfer.

"Boom, boom." Not long after the transfer of light and heavy machine guns, the miniature grenades of the Japanese grenadiers came at them.

The guerrillas, who were temporarily organized as an infantry squadron by Sun Weiguo, began to charge the Japanese positions under the command of their squadron leader, and the soldiers in different costumes carried rifles, broadswords, spears and other primitive weapons, and they quickly advanced towards the Japanese positions.

Japanese rifles and light machine guns fired, and the fighters kept falling down, but none of them flinched.

"Suppress the Japanese firepower and cover quickly." Seeing that the troops had paid a lot of casualties, Qin Xianliang hurriedly shouted.

The three heavy machine guns and three light machine guns that were re-erected quickly began to fire and suppress the Japanese firepower.

The two sides began to fire at each other, and the Japanese infantry's plan to reinforce the artillery positions completely failed.

While the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle, nearly 300 cavalry of the second battalion of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment suddenly fought out from the flank of the Japanese position.
