Chapter 266: None of them slipped through the net
The first tank fired at the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Wing of the North China Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army was the Gaoping dual-purpose gun of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The antiaircraft artillery battalion of the artillery regiment used all the four antiaircraft guns of the Japanese army captured at the Dezhou airfield, and the whole battalion now has a total of 12 high-level dual-purpose guns, all of which are towed by pack horses, and they have secretly moved here at night to establish a position, and the 12 high-level dual-purpose guns and the four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns of the rapid-fire artillery platoon are lined up, and the muzzles of the guns are all pointed to the road.
In actual combat, the cadres and fighters of the antiaircraft artillery battalion found that the Japanese army's high-level dual-purpose guns were much more powerful than rapid-fire guns, and they were not at the same level at all. Hit a Japanese tank with an armor-piercing shell from a high-level dual-purpose gun, and as soon as the cannon is ejected, the little devil's tank will become a fireball, not to mention the armored vehicles that are thinner than the tank and the cars that have no armor protection at all. Even the locomotive of the Japanese army and the armored patrol car on the railway were also a contribution. Because of its short range and low power, rapid-fire guns have much worse combat effectiveness, and they are easy to be attacked by Japanese infantry, resulting in a high artillery casualty rate.
The Gaoping dual-purpose cannon produced by the Japanese Empire became the favorite of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield of resistance against Japan!
If Emperor Hirohito knew about this, it is estimated that he would be so angry that he would be able to crawl on the belly of Empress Ryoko!
At this time, the roads were not very wide when they were built due to the lack of cars. The No. 1100 men and horses of the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, plus two reinforced tank squadrons, two armored vehicle squadrons and one infantry artillery squadron, were placed on the road in a long snake formation, and just when they were about to divide their troops to attack, they were attacked by the fire of the Eighth Route Army, whether it was tanks, armored vehicles, or arrogant infantry, all of them became targets!
Twelve high-level dual-purpose guns, four rapid-fire guns, a total of sixteen anti-tank guns, the firepower is powerful enough!
This kind of anti-tank firepower is not to say that other units of the Eighth Route Army do not have it, and other units of the Nationalist Army do not have it, even the units of the Japanese army on the scale of wings and brigades. Because so far, the Japanese anti-tank weapons are limited to 37 mm anti-aircraft guns, and the others are tank guns, and they have not yet explored the tactics of using anti-aircraft guns to fight tanks horizontally, including the 92 infantry guns, and the Japanese army also has no flat-mounted shooting methods. The reason is simple, the Chinese army has almost no armored weapons, and the Japanese army does not need to engage in such experiments in battle!
Now, the twelve Gaoping dual-purpose guns and four rapid-fire guns are all aimed at the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles on the road, and when the Japanese army is still stopping its advance, it is really a dozen and one accurate!
After the first tank of the Japanese army was smashed into a ball of fire, the Gaoping dual-purpose guns and rapid-fire guns of the other artillery squads all roared angrily, and the sounds of "boom" and "boom" sounded almost at the same time, just like a thunderstorm in nine days.
The eight chariots and eight armored vehicles of the Japanese army, which relied on the battle to win the victory, were all smashed into fireballs at the first moment when the Eighth Route Army launched an attack. The occupants of those combat vehicles and armored vehicles did not even have a chance to escape, and they were melted by the high temperature caused by the explosion of ammunition in the vehicle and the explosion of the fuel tank caused by the explosion of the shells.
This scene was forever imprinted in the minds of those little devils who were about to be taken away by the light and heavy machine guns and rifle bullets of the Eighth Route Army who were following the tanks and armored vehicles, and even made them forget the pain caused by the bullets, and reported back to the shrine with incredible eyes and question marks.
Just when the anti-aircraft artillery battalion and rapid-fire artillery company opened fire, with Xiao Siming's order, all the light and heavy firepower of the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army was fired, and the bullets were splashed on the Japanese troops on the road.
This battle is not to win more with less, and to defeat the strong with the weak, but to concentrate troops and firepower in a standard manner, to bully the weak with the strong, and to bully the widow with the many! The three main regiments, the artillery regiment, the heavy machine gun battalion, the engineer battalion, the armored battalion, and the cavalry battalion of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army went into battle, and 6,000 people fought more than 1,000 little devils, and they also fought ambush warfare!
After conquering Texas, the eastward advance detachment really made a fortune.
Generally speaking, units of divisional and brigade size must at least reserve a certain amount of weapons and equipment before a major war, so as to ensure that the troops can replenish their weapons in a timely manner when they are damaged.
Judging from the situation of the capture of Shouyang County, a brigade and regiment of the Japanese army had to reserve enough weapons and equipment to equip an infantry brigade before the war.
The base camp of the Japanese army carefully planned the Battle of Xuzhou, in an attempt to complete the battle and annihilate the main force of the Fifth Theater, and the weapons and ammunition in reserve were absolutely sufficient. Dezhou is the supply reserve transit base of the 16th Division, the 114th Division, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 3rd Mixed Brigade and the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army. According to the habits of the Japanese army, there should be weapons and equipment of eight infantry brigades stored here, but the battle of Xuzhou has ended, and the Japanese army is pursuing along Longhai Road and Jinpu Road. It's a pity that there is no heavy artillery, field artillery, and mountain artillery that Xiao Siming wants.
That's it, it's enough to make Xiao Siming's department all become Japanese-style equipment!
Several state-made weapons companies of the 2nd and 3rd Regiments, which turned out to be state-made weapons, were immediately reequipped, and all the brand-new Japanese-made Type 92 heavy machine guns and Type 96 light machine guns were distributed to the troops for ambush attacks. That's not all, Xiao Siming ordered the Second Regiment to be reequipped with the old Makqin heavy machine guns and Czech light machine guns that had been retired, and all of them were brought to the ambush position to strengthen the density of firepower.
Not only did they use all the captured light and heavy machine guns, but even the four captured tanks and four armored vehicles were immediately incorporated into the armored battalion, and together with the original eight tanks and four armored vehicles, a total of 12 tanks and eight armored vehicles of the armored battalion were all driven to the ambush position.
At this moment, the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored battalion were all removed from camouflage and thrown into battle with vehicle-mounted machine guns.
What Xiao Siming wants is that the firepower is dense and fierce, and he will cripple the second brigade of the second wing of the second wing of the Japanese army's elite North China garrison army as soon as possible, so that it has no chance to resist stubbornly!
No, as soon as the units opened fire, the Type 92 heavy machine guns, the Makqin heavy machine guns, the Type 96 light machine guns, the Czech light machine guns, the tanks, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns on armored vehicles all spat out tongues of fire, dense and violent, and immediately enveloped the Japanese troops on the highway into the fire net.
The captain of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army knew that it was over when he heard a cannon shot, fell into a trap, and got into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army. It's just that he didn't have time to think about anything else, a bullet flew and drilled into his eyebrows in a dignified manner, and the captain of the devil team didn't even have time to shout "enemy attack", and fell on his back.
One headshot, needless to say, it was Xiao Siming, the commander of the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, who personally operated the gun and went into battle!
In fact, there is no need for Xiao Siming to fight with a gun in person, this kind of large-scale army battle, he only needs to command it well. It's just that Xiao Siming likes to fight and like to give little devils headshots, so he won't miss such an opportunity!
One shot was fired, Xiao Siming only had time to fire another shot, and the devil squadron leader who was standing next to the devil captain was headshot, and he could no longer find a chance to shoot, and the little devils on the entire road, including the pack horses of the transport team, were shrouded in the fierce machine-gun fire.
Xiao Siming was not bad, and fired two shots. The other soldiers of the Eighth Route Army with rifles only had the opportunity to shoot a shot. There is no way, tonight the Eighth Route Army used too many machine guns, the firepower is too fierce, this is another ambush, strafing on the surface, the automatic machine gun is much higher than the rate of fire of the rifle, the riflemen only have time to shoot, and they can't find the little devil standing.
It's not that all the little devils were killed, but that some of the little devils reacted quickly and fell down and lay down as soon as possible.
The Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the Mixed Brigade of the North China Garrison Army are all veterans, experienced in combat, and particularly ferocious. As soon as the guns rang out, these guys, like the captain of the devil brigade who was killed in the first place, knew that they were in ambush. The quick-reacting little devil didn't wait for the officers' orders, so he quickly lay down and began to shoot back. It's just that the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, and the blow is so sudden, that there are only a few little devils who can get away with it and lie down and fight back. Most of the devils were overwhelmed by heavy machine-gun fire and rifle fire.
And the little devil didn't die? And dare to fight back?
Soon, something shocked these lucky little devils who didn't die, the infantry artillery, mortars, and grenadiers of the Eighth Route Army spoke, and the shells and grenades crossed the sky and smashed into the road.
The gunners of the artillery regiment and the machine gun battalions of each regiment marked the long road into squares, waiting to repair the stubborn little devils.
The artillery only came with a salvo and stopped shelling. Immediately afterwards, the armored battalion of the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army was dispatched, and 12 tanks and 8 armored vehicles roared and drove towards the road. It seems that the remnants of the little devils are going to be torn apart and crushed with on-board machine guns and tracks.
Where would those little devils who were lucky enough to be alive have thought that the Eighth Route Army would have combat vehicles and armored vehicles?
No more little devils dared to climb in the pile of dead people and fight back on the side of the road, and the little devils who were lucky enough to be alive began to get up and run into the wheat field on the west side of the road, hoping to escape.
The little devil runs away, and he becomes a rabbit under the muzzle of a hunting gun!
The vehicle-mounted machine guns and the light and heavy machine guns on the ambush position continued to sweep wildly, until all the remnants of the escaped little devils were beaten into blood gourds, and there was no longer a living little devil on the entire battlefield, Xiao Siming ordered to stop shooting.
A team of Eighth Route Army wore hats made of reeds and tree branches on their heads, held guns, bent over, and ran quickly towards the highway, which was to mend guns for the little devils and clean up the battlefield!
This battle basically lasted about 5 minutes. Under the fierce firepower of the Eighth Route Army, the arrogant and invincible Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army was completely annihilated, including the tank squadron, armored vehicle squadron, and artillery team under their command, none of which escaped the net!
