Chapter 221: Treat the captives preferentially
Eight Japanese infantry guns were deployed in the rear to cover the infantry charge, but the Japanese artillery would never have expected the Chinese troops to appear on the flanks.
AT THIS TIME, THE EIGHT INFANTRY GUNS WERE COMPLETELY EXPOSED TO THE BLOWS OF FOUR 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS AND TWO 20MM MACHINE GUNS.
As one shell after another was fired, infantry guns began to be destroyed by armor-piercing shells.
The anti-tank gun platoon and the machine gun squad fired more than 30 armor-piercing shells in a row, and different types of armor-piercing shells hit the Japanese artillery positions.
Infantry artillery hit by armor-piercing shells was destroyed on the spot, while some unlucky Japanese artillery shells were blown into pulp when they were hit by armor-piercing shells.
After taking out the Japanese artillery position by surprise, four anti-tank guns and two machine guns began to focus on covering the tank charge.
The Type 89 tank, to which Yin Jinshan, commander of the armored company, was stationed was less than 100 meters away from Nantou Village, and the rifle bullets fired by the Japanese army's baggage soldiers and other auxiliary soldiers hit the tank lightly, and the machine guns of the Type 89 tank began to fire, and one after another machine gun bullets were shot out.
The three Type 95 tanks following behind the Type 89 tanks accelerated forward, and the four tanks quickly approached the position in Nantou Village.
The two Japanese commanders were completely stunned, they never dreamed that the other party would be equipped with tanks produced in their own countries.
Seeing that his eight infantry guns were destroyed, and seeing that the tanks were getting closer and closer to him, the two Shaozuo captains immediately began to evacuate.
They knew that if they stayed here, they might be crushed by the tank's tracks.
"Da Da Da ......"
The heavy machine gun inside the Type 92 armored car began to fire, and Sun Weiguo personally controlled the heavy machine gun.
Bullets were fired one after another, and one of the exposed ghost soldiers began to fall under heavy machine gun bullets.
The Type 92 armored car is equipped with one heavy machine gun and four light machine guns, and the Type 91 armored car is equipped with three light machine guns.
Six armored vehicles had already begun to stop advancing, and all the light and heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles were fired.
Patches of bullets rained down on Nantou Village, and the Japanese army's baggage soldiers and communications troops, which were auxiliary soldiers, were not combatants, they had poor shooting skills, and they did not know how to better protect themselves when fighting.
Under the bullets of six armored vehicles, these devil soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they were simply unable to stop the attack of tanks and armored vehicles.
The captain of the 1st Brigade was shot in the right leg by a heavy machine gun bullet during the evacuation, and he fell to the ground.
Several guards tried to rescue the captain, but their bodies were quickly sieveed by light machine gun bullets.
The Type 89 tanks under the command of Yin Jinshan had already rushed to the position in Nantou Village, and the two tank machine guns began to fire wildly.
One of the devil soldiers died under the fire of machine gun bullets, and they had no room to fight back in the face of tank attacks.
When three Type 95 tanks rushed to Nantou Village, it meant that the armored company had successfully captured Nantou Village.
As the tank platoon entered Nantou Village, the armored car platoon quickly stopped firing, and the armored vehicles began to move, and they quickly marched towards Nantou Village.
Not to be outdone, the more than thirty cavalrymen of the cavalry platoon marched rapidly with their sabers.
They had already overtaken the armored vehicles when they stopped advancing to shoot for cover, and by this time the cavalry had already arrived at Nantou Village.
The sharp saber ruthlessly took the lives of the ghost soldiers, and the heads were cut off by the saber.
Bright red blood stained the ground, and Nantou Village instantly became a hell for the devil soldiers.
Captain Shao Zuo of the 4th Brigade of the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade ran towards the attacking Japanese troops in front, but before he could run far, a grenade fired from the 37MM tank gun of the Type 95 tank exploded next to him.
The body of this Japanese soldier was split by the explosion, and he did not even leave a complete corpse.
The infantry platoon also quickly arrived by truck, and the village of Nantou, which had been captured by the Japanese army, was recaptured by the armored company.
The more than 200 baggage soldiers and communication soldiers and other devil soldiers who remained in Nantou Village were all dealt with by the armored company.
It is worth mentioning that these devil soldiers were solved either by the sabers of the cavalry, or by the machine guns of tanks and armored vehicles.
By the time the infantry platoon arrived in trucks, they had become corpse collection teams, and the cavalry and armored men had not even left the infantry with a mouthful of soup.
The main reason why the tanks were able to quickly capture the Nantou Village position was that the Japanese planes and artillery had completely destroyed the Nantou Village position.
Secondly, the Japanese troops stationed in Nantou Village were either heavy soldiers or wounded, and they did not have any combat effectiveness at all.
The baggage soldiers simply didn't know how to fight better, and the wounded were completely in vain.
Sun Weiguo was not polite to these wounded, he shot out more than 100 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets in one go, killed dozens of Japanese wounded, and the rest of the armored vehicles and tanks, they were also merciless.
Don't look at the wounded Japanese soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness now, but when they recover from their wounds, they will become fierce beasts.
"Deputy Regiment Commander, there is also a Japanese soldier who was blown unconscious by a shell here."
A cavalryman from the cavalry platoon came to the Type 92 armored car, and the cavalry immediately reported the situation to Sun Weiguo.
After being hit in the leg by a heavy machine gun bullet, he was immediately blown up by a grenade, and by the time he came to his senses again, he had become a prisoner of the cavalry.
Seeing two sharp sabers erected on his neck, Captain Shaozuo didn't dare to move at will.
"Cut off his head." Sun Wei said coldly in Chinese.
When the cavalry heard Sun Weiguo's words, he couldn't help but gasp.
You must know that the Eighth Route Army has regulations, even if it is a prisoner of the Japanese army, it must be treated preferentially.
The Japanese army did not teach humanitarianism to Chinese officers and soldiers and ordinary people, but the Eighth Route Army did to them.
Sun Weiguo felt that the Eighth Route Army was good, but Sun Weiguo did not agree with this.
The devil soldiers have blood on their hands, and treating them with humanitarianism is simply an insult to humanitarianism.
"Deputy commander, the commissar has said that he will treat the prisoners preferentially......" the cavalryman said with a look of embarrassment.
"Treat the captives preferentially, these brutes have wiped out Lao Tzu's three companies, do they still want Lao Tzu to eat and drink and offer them like uncles, give me an order, don't take prisoners in the independent regiment, whoever leaves the prisoners, just get out of the independent regiment."
Sun Weiguo's eyes turned red, and he roared loudly.
