Chapter 310: Northwest Jin Battle 10
"Eighth company commander, the little devil armored vehicles are live targets lined up, knock out their armored vehicles for me."
On the city wall, Fu Tao, the commander of the second battalion, held a telescope and looked at the armored vehicles that the Japanese army was constantly firing, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
The two squadrons of armored vehicles dispatched by the Japanese army had four Type 92 armored vehicles and twenty Type 91 armored vehicles.
These 24 armored vehicles were able to organize 50 or 60 light and heavy machine guns to fire at the city wall, and such fierce fire completely suppressed the operations of the sixth and eighth companies on the city wall, and the officers and men were completely suppressed and could not raise their heads.
Fu Tao saw that the situation was very serious, and he hurriedly brought Chen Haojie, the commander of the eighth company, and he gave Chen Haojie an order.
Chen Haojie was originally the platoon commander of the anti-tank gun platoon of the armored company,This time the first regiment was rebuilt,Sun Weiguo directly transferred him to the second battalion as the commander of the eighth company,The eighth company is the machine gun company of the second battalion。
"Battalion commander, I will immediately direct the artillery to shoot." Chen Haojie hurriedly said.
After returning to the position of the machine gun company on the city wall,Chen Haojie immediately arranged for the artillerymen to set the firing angle of the three Type 92 infantry guns。
After aiming at the Japanese armored vehicle,Chen Haojie quickly gave the order to shoot,Three grenades were fired。
At the same time as the grenade was fired, the three artillerymen were sieveed by the bullets of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns.
However, the three grenade shots accurately hit the two Japanese armored vehicles, because the two armored vehicles were very close, and the grenade bombs directly blew up the two armored vehicles.
The artillery of the eighth company continued to load grenade shotguns, and Chen Haojie personally controlled the infantry guns to aim at the Japanese armored vehicles.
Three grenades were fired again, this time hitting three armored vehicles.
As the three armored vehicles began to be blown up, the remaining nineteen armored vehicles quickly began to retreat, and the Japanese infantry artillery squadron began to attack the artillerymen, and one grenade after another quickly hit the city wall.
The three infantry guns commanded by Chen Haojie were suppressed by the Japanese army, and a famous devil soldier quickly launched an operation.
A Japanese infantry squad poured into the gap, and although Hu Ziqiang's platoon resisted desperately, they were no longer able to intercept the footsteps of the Japanese army.
Hu Ziqiang had a solemn expression on his face, he saw that the Japanese troops had begun to disperse, he quickly picked up his rifle and rushed out, and the remaining eight soldiers hurriedly installed bayonets, and they followed closely behind Hu Ziqiang.
The white-knuckle battle began, and the Japanese troops had a numerical advantage, and Hu Ziqiang and other soldiers fell to the ground in a short time.
The sky began to get dark, and the time was already more than six o'clock, that is, at this time, the Japanese troops broke through the gap in the north city wall into the county seat, and Fu Tao immediately dispatched the seventh company to enter the battle.
After the 7th Company of the Reserve Corps began to fight, the Japanese troops who entered the city were driven out, and the north gate was temporarily held.
However, the 2nd Battalion, which engaged in a fierce battle with the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, paid the price of more than 100 casualties.
As night fell, the Japanese troops temporarily stopped attacking, and the Japanese began to have dinner, and in the wing headquarters, Ishida Kanazo gathered three captains to discuss the next step of the operation.
When I was in Gujiao County, I played them once, and Ishida Jinzang hated the pre-group.
What's more, the North China Front Army Command has always offered a high reward for killing Sun Weiguo, but Ishida Jinzang wants to borrow Sun Weiguo's head to make meritorious contributions, so this time he will not give up if he does not take Lou Fu County.
Lou Fan County, in the first regiment headquarters of the reserve.
Sun Weiguo looked at the casualty figures reported by the first and second battalions, and the expression on his face changed.
In a few hours of fighting, the two battalions paid the price of more than 200 casualties, which made Sun Weiguo a little worried.
However, there is no way to do this, although the first regiment of the reserve is fully equipped with weapons and equipment, and the personnel are also full, but recruits are still a big problem, even after the battle in Yangqu County, most of the recruits still have problems.
What's more, the combat effectiveness of the little devils is not boastful, they are not tofu scum.
"If this continues, I'm afraid that even if we hold Loufan County, the troops will be exhausted, and the second battalion has even used reserves, and this is just the beginning of the battle, so I am afraid that it will be more difficult for us to fight in the later stage."
Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said with a solemn expression.
"We must also defend Loufan County after we fight out, otherwise we will have no way to explain to Division Commander He, not to mention that once we lose here, the troops of the 359 Brigade will be exposed to the Japanese troops." Shen Wei said in a serious tone, she didn't want Sun Weiguo to violate the military order again.
"The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles pose a great threat to us, and the Japanese army has an advantage in numbers, and we are guarding the county town with them, so we can't afford to consume it, and the Japanese troops are likely to make a detour from Loufan County, which we have to guard against."
Sun Weiguo spread the map on the table, and he looked at Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong and said.
"Regiment commander, at present, the special combat team, the guard company and the reconnaissance company are deployed in Lan County, can we let them move around the periphery, even if they can't hit the Japanese troops, even if they can contain the Japanese army, it will be beneficial to us."
Zhao Lerong whispered his suggestion, and his thoughts would always coincide with Sun Weiguo.
Sun Weiguo also planned to mobilize the troops of Lan County, and Sun Weiguo planned to personally command the troops of Lan County to fight.
The last time Sun Weiguo went to the county seat of Gujiao County with a special combat team, he had the idea of defeating the Japanese army's wing headquarters, but at that time there was only one special combat group operating in the county.
But this time it was different, Sun Weiguo was able to command two companies of troops, and he felt that this time it was possible to defeat the Japanese army's wing headquarters.
As long as the Japanese army's wing headquarters is eliminated, this will be a great blow to the morale of the Japanese army, and perhaps it will directly affect this operation.
"I immediately went to Lan County, led the special combat team, the guard company and the reconnaissance company to operate on the periphery, you will command the regimental headquarters here, there is no problem for the troops to hold the county seat, and I will take action on the periphery as soon as possible to contain the strength of the Japanese army. Yin Jinshan and others from the regimental headquarters acted together with me, and if they could capture tanks and armored vehicles, they would also be able to put themselves into battle. ”
Sun Weiguo hesitated, he looked at Zhao Lerong and Shen Wei, and said in a solemn tone.
Hearing that Sun Weiguo wanted to go to the periphery to fight, Zhao Lerong and Shen Wei couldn't help but show worried expressions on their faces.
