Chapter 496: The Siege and Annihilation War Begins

With a "boom", an anti-personnel grenade fired by a Type 92 infantry gun landed on a grenadier canister, and as the grenade began to explode, shrapnel flew everywhere, and the three devil soldiers were killed on the spot, and the grenadier was also blown up.

After the artillery unit shelled nine grenadiers and nine light machine guns, four grenadiers were destroyed, and five light machine guns were also blown into scrap metal, and the captain of the Japanese 3rd Squadron saw the heavy losses of light machine guns and grenadiers, his brows furrowed, and just as he hesitated whether to ask for tactical guidance, the roar of the tank began to sound.

Two Type 89 tanks rushed to the front, five Type 95 tanks followed, and ten armored vehicles moved on either side of the tank unit.

"Da Da Da!" Tank machine guns and armored car machine guns were the first to fire, and pieces of bullets came at the devil soldiers.

The unprepared devil soldiers were shot down on the spot, more than 30 devil soldiers died on the spot, and the rest of the devil soldiers immediately began to lie on the ground.

The grenadiers and light machine guns, which were not destroyed, immediately began to turn around, but before they could continue to start firing, the artillery units began firing again.

20MM MACHINE GUNS, FOUR INFANTRY GUNS, 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS AND ANTI-PERSONNEL GRENADES WERE FIRED, AND THE CAREFULLY ORGANIZED FIRE OF THE JAPANESE TROOPS WAS SHELLED AGAIN.

Seeing that the tanks and armored vehicles began to advance towards his troops, the captain squadron leader did not ask for instructions, he directly gave the order to retreat.

"Comrades, come with me!" Ge Haifeng drew his saber, and he shouted loudly.

More than 600 cavalry troops drew their sabers one after another, and they followed behind the battalion commander Ge Haifeng and rushed directly towards the devil soldiers.

The horses were galloping rapidly, the cavalrymen were brandishing their sabers, they were shouting loudly, the dust was flying, the tanks were roaring, and the mobile combat groups launched an attack on the Japanese troops.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, an urgent message has been sent from the headquarters of the First Army, and the Chinese cavalry unit ......"

In Mengjiazhang Village, the 132nd Wing Commander Ekiao Rongyi was still holding a telescope to check the battle situation in Dazhai Nuying Mountain and Woniu Mountain, but at this time, the chief of staff of the Wing Shaozuo came to Hai Lao Mingeiyi to report that before he finished speaking, there was a roar of tanks and fierce gunfire in front.

"Wing Commander, the 1st Brigade has been attacked by the Chinese troops, who have assembled tanks and cavalry in Donghui Town." A signal soldier hurriedly came to report.

The Eighth Route Army basically relied on two legs to convey orders, but the Japanese army's communication facilities were very convenient, each wing would have six to eight radios, and as for the telephone, it could be easily deployed to each infantry squadron, and after the third brigade was attacked, they immediately began to report through the radio.

Before the chief of staff of Shaozo could report the telegram sent by the headquarters of the First Army, Ebi, Mingeichi directly learned about what had happened to the Third Brigade.

"Order the troops of the former Huang'an Village to reinforce, and order the second brigade to immediately assemble the main force and quickly reinforce the third brigade through the former Huang'an village." Eiichi immediately began to give orders.

The Japanese troops began to mobilize, and the 2nd Brigade immediately assembled two infantry squadrons, a machine gun squad, and quickly advanced towards the former Huang'an village.

At the same time, the artillery squadron of the wing began to set up artillery positions in the former Huang'an Village, and four 41-type mountain guns began to directly support the operations of the third brigade.

For the exposed armored battalion troops, the four mountain guns began to fire armor-piercing shells continuously, and one by one, the armor-piercing shells quickly began to fire at the tanks and armored vehicles.

The names of armor-piercing bullets and armor-piercing bullets are very similar, and the effect between the two is also the same, but the armor-piercing bullet will make two bullet holes in the eye, and even in some cases, the armor-piercing bullet will hit the tank in the eye, but the tank can still continue to fight, and the armor-piercing bullet will not appear in this situation, the armor-piercing bullet will explode like a grenade, and the armor-piercing bullet will produce a metal jet, thereby destroying the target, this metal jet is very destructive, which the armor-piercing bullet cannot do.

An armor-piercing bullet exploded next to a Type 91 armored car, and the metal produced by the explosion quickly hit the armored car, the Japanese Type 91 armored car was only six millimeters thick armor, and pieces of metal were like powerful water cannons hitting the earthen wall, and the metal tore through the paper-like armor and quickly drilled into the armored car.

Four fighters in the armored car were shot dead on the spot, and more than a dozen cavalrymen passing by the armored car did not dodge the attack, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were shot dead on the spot.

With a "boom", an armor-piercing bullet fell on a Type 95 tank, which was blown up on the spot.

"The target is 2,500 meters away, and tank guns can't hit it." One of the commanders immediately ordered the gunners to counterattack, but the gunners immediately answered.

"The infantry artillery was suppressed, and the armored company, the armored car company extended the distance and quickly advanced." The battalion commander, Yin Jinshan, immediately gave the order.

The four Type 92 infantry guns immediately began to adjust their direction, and one after another anti-personnel grenades quickly hit Qianhuang'an Village.

Sun Weiguo, who was in Donghui Town, saw that the four shells of the Japanese army destroyed an armored car and a tank, and brought dozens of casualties to the cavalry, and his brows furrowed tightly.

SEVEN 82MM MORTARS BEGAN TO SHOOT, AND ONE GRENADE AFTER ANOTHER QUICKLY HIT THE FORMER HUANG'AN VILLAGE, AND AT THE SAME TIME, SUN WEIGUO IMMEDIATELY GAVE AN ORDER TO FU TAO, THE COMMANDER OF THE FIRST REGIMENT, AND HE ORDERED FU TAO TO IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE THIRD BATTALION AND COMMAND THE THIRD BATTALION TROOPS TO ATTACK THE FORMER HUANG'AN VILLAGE.

The 1st and 2nd squadrons attacking Donghui Town began to stop their advance, and they immediately withdrew to the rear, apparently aware of the battle plan of the Chinese troops.

The machine-gun squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had lost five heavy machine guns, was still strafing, and seven heavy machine guns were desperately strafing to cover the withdrawal of the 1st and 2nd squadrons.

The 3rd Squadron is now encircled by the armored battalion and the cavalry battalion, and the sab-wielding cavalrymen have slashed a ghost soldier to death.

"Baga Yalu, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and fire the cannonball!" Seeing that the two infantry guns of the artillery squad began to stop firing shells, the commander of the third brigade reprimanded loudly.

"Captain, the third squadron has been mixed with the armored troops and cavalry units of China, and it is easy to injure them by mistake when we fire shells at this time." The artillery squad leader said with a nervous face.

"Immediately fire grenades and hit the Chinese troops hard." The captain said in a cold tone.

The 3rd Squadron was already encircled by the armoured and cavalry units, and the captain knew very well that the 3rd Squadron had no possibility of withdrawing.
