Chapter 341: Counting is Counting!
Just when Xu Wen was about to rush out of the regiment with the last few people to command the battle with the devils to the death, suddenly a dense burst of gunfire came from the southwest, and then the attacking devil soldiers were suddenly caught off guard.
They all gave up the attack on the headquarters of the guard regiment and turned to fight. In the regimental headquarters, Chief of Staff Hu Ming pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and immediately said with great joy: "Tuanzao, there are our people outside, and you listen to the sound of **sand and Czech light machine guns!" ”
"Great! Our reinforcements have arrived, brothers, come with me! Come on! Xu Wen kicked open the gate of the regiment command and took the lead in rushing out.
More than a dozen soldiers of the guard platoon who were making the last resistance saw the group seat rushing out, and they also shouted at the top of their voices: "Kill! Come on! Follow Xu Wenyi and rush towards the devil.
In the southwest direction, Sun Xiucheng held a ** sand submachine gun, took the lead, and rushed to the front, the ** sand submachine gun in his hand kept spitting out tongues of fire, dark red bullet marks rushed into the devil crowd, and immediately knocked those devil soldiers who couldn't dodge to the ground one after another.
The soldiers of the motorcycle company behind him also began to spread out towards the two wings, preparing to attack the devil soldiers who had already rushed into the Laotianan station in a roundabout way.
The leader of the devil's second squadron, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately waved his command knife and said: "Retreat!" Evacuate! Hurry up and drop! ”
Soon, the remaining seventy or eighty devils began to alternately cover and fight and retreat in the southeast direction. Seeing that the devil was planning to escape, Xu Wen took a light machine gun from the soldier next to him, swept at the fleeing devil soldier, and then said loudly: "Brothers, chase me, don't let go of a devil!" ”
"Kill!" Sun Xiucheng took the lead in shouting, and followed closely with the soldiers of the motorcycle company, and at this moment, the remnants of the devil had just withdrawn from the Laotianan station, and were about to retreat to the east, when suddenly at this time, a large group of black and oppressive crowds appeared from the direction of the Yellow River.
I saw nearly 2,000 officers and men of the 3rd and 2nd Battalions of the Guard Regiment swarming from both sides with shouts.
The leader of the second squadron of the devil looked at the swarming squadron, and couldn't help but gasp, and then slowly pulled out his command knife and said to the dozens of remnants behind him: "Warriors, the imperial army is invincible!" Come on! Defend the honor of the samurai! ”
"Kill Quack!" Dozens of devil soldiers, led by the squadron leader, launched a suicidal charge. Although the submachine guns they were equipped with burst out with amazing firepower at this moment, they were faced with more powerful firepower that was ten times stronger than them!
About twenty minutes later, the remaining seventy or eighty devil soldiers, including the squadron leader, were all beaten into a hornet's nest.
Wang Dahai, the commander of the second battalion, walked to the corpse of the squadron leader of the second squadron of the airborne troops of the Yue Army, who had been beaten, kicked more than ten feet in a row, and scolded: "Damn it! Dare to sneak attack our guard regiment, it's just fucking tired and crooked! Grass! ”
"That's it! Let's go and see them! Ma Bukun, the commander of the third battalion, poked Wang Dahai with his elbow.
"Oh! That's right! I don't know what happened to the regimental seat and the chief of staff! Wang Dahai turned to several company commanders and said, "The third company stays to clean up the battlefield!" The rest of the people follow me to the regimental headquarters! ”
……….
Laotianan Station, the headquarters of the Guard Regiment.
Xu Wen took off the steel helmet on his head, and then took off the pair of blackened white gloves that had been smoked by gunpowder, looking at the several battalion company commanders who came in a hurry, Xu Wen couldn't help but raise his head and laugh: "This time I really fucking almost fell into the way of the little devil, there is a saying, if you don't die, there will be a blessing!" Ha ha! ”
"As long as you're okay! Otherwise, my brothers and I will die of guilt! Wang Dahai scratched his head and said.
"It's okay, even if I die in battle, you still have to lead the guard regiment to continue fighting until you drive the little devil back to Dongying's hometown!" Xu Wen smiled and said: "But the combat effectiveness of the little devils who landed this time is really not covered, and they are all equipped with automatic firearms, it seems that the little devils are treating us here as the former enemy command post of our 42nd Group Army this time, they must think that we are always sitting here, so they will not hesitate to drop airborne troops to us here, wanting to succeed in one blow!" But this time, the little devil's wishful thinking was wrong. ”
"Yes! If it hadn't been the first time that the motorized infantry company had discovered and eliminated a squadron of devils this time, and then rushed to reinforcements in time, the consequences would have been really unimaginable! Chief of Staff Hu Ming also nodded in agreement.
"Tuanza! I don't think the little devil will only airdrop two squadrons of troops with so much effort, right? At this time, Shen Jun, the deputy head of the regiment, frowned.
"You mean! Will the devils continue to airdrop troops at us? Xu Wen suddenly realized something.
"It's possible! Even if we don't airdrop it to us, we have to be prepared to be prepared. Chief of Staff Hu Ming also nodded thoughtfully.
"That's not all! I think we should also report this matter to the headquarters immediately, in case the devil's airborne troops sneak attack! Shen Jun said.
"Hmmm! Lao Shen is right! Xu Wen nodded silently, and then said to the door: "Signal troops, immediately send a telegram to the main seat, just say that we have been attacked by the airborne troops of the Yue Army, and we have now wiped them out, and prepare for air defense at the main seat, just in case!" ”
"Yes!" Before the communication soldier came to Xu Wen, Xu Wen had already given the order, so the communication soldier had to stand upright, and then happily turned around and took the order.
After seeing the signal soldiers leave, Xu Wen turned his head to the crowd again: "Chief of Staff, you immediately go to the front line and assist the first battalion to garrison the position and strengthen the vigilance." Wang Dahai led the 2nd Battalion to patrol within 10 kilometers to the left of the regimental headquarters, and Ma Bukun led the 3rd Battalion to patrol within 10 kilometers to the right of the regimental headquarters. Annihilate them all for me! The motorized infantry company temporarily served as the garrison of the regimental headquarters! ”
"Yes!" Everyone snapped forward and stood upright, agreed in unison, and then turned around and walked away quickly.
………….
Outside Xinxiang City, the former enemy headquarters of the 42nd Group Army in Xinxiang Township.
Peng Bo, the commander of the third division, walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand, and snapped his body and said, "General seat!" The guard regiment came to send an urgent call!! ”
"Huh?" Zhang Mingyu immediately looked puzzled and said, "Guard regiment? What's wrong? Did the devil cross the river? ”
"Nope! Not a river crossing! Instead, the devils carried out the airdrop, and one of the two squadrons of the devils airdropped attacked the regimental headquarters of the guard regiment. ”
"What? The regimental headquarters of the Guards Regiment was attacked? What about casualties? Before Peng Bo could finish speaking, Zhang Mingyu directly interrupted him and asked.
"The casualties are not too big! Sun Xiucheng's motorized infantry company arrived in time and repelled the Yue army, and the retreating Yue army was surrounded by the second and third battalions that rushed to reinforce and was completely annihilated! Xu Wen and the others are all safe and sound. Bloomberg replied.
Hearing this, Zhang Mingyu breathed a long sigh of relief, although he knew that the paratroopers of the little devil had all the foreign appearances in the original history, and their combat effectiveness was really not flattering, and they were rated as the worst airborne troops during World War II. However, since the guard regiment is still somewhat unfamiliar with the term airborne troops and is not well prepared, it is very likely to suffer a big loss.
"Oh, yes! Regiment Commander Xu also said in the telegram that he wanted us to pay attention to guarding against a sneak attack by the airborne troops of the Yue Army, and he suspected that the devils should have more than just airdropped these two infantry squadrons! Maybe there are troops in other areas as well! Bloomberg continued.
"Hmmm! You have to pay attention to this matter, inform the regiments, and pay attention to the sneak attack of the devil's air paratroopers! As soon as you find out, fire immediately, and it's best to wipe out the devil paratroopers before they hit the ground! Zhang Mingyu nodded.
"Yes!" Peng Bo, Lai San and others snapped forward and stood upright.
"Oh, by the way, send another telegram to Qinyang, telling the third regiment to pay attention to guarding against the sneak attack of devils!" Zhang Mingyu seemed to remember something.
"Hmm!" Bloomberg nodded, then turned and walked away quickly.
After seeing Peng Bo leave, Zhang Mingyu said to Lai San: "Lai San, how is the excavation operation?" ”
"Oh, you can dig into the city walls tonight, and at most tomorrow morning you will be able to launch an attack on the military fortifications in the city!" Lai San thought for a moment.
"Well, order the troops to speed up the excavation, we must take Xinxiang City as soon as possible, otherwise when the devils on the south bank find a way to cross the Yellow River, we will be passive." Zhang Mingyu nodded.
"Okay! I'm going to urge the regiments to speed up the tunneling! After Lai San finished speaking, he got up and walked out.
………
In the afternoon of the same day, the two infantry brigades, totaling more than 2,000 people, which were in charge of airdropping at Zhengzhou Airport, carried out airdrops five times one after another, but none of them were completely wiped out by the guard regiment that was waiting for them.
Because they were discovered by the guard regiment during the airborne process, the radio and other communication tools carried by the army could not be turned on at all, let alone report to the command headquarters that they had encountered an ambush.
Therefore, Rear Admiral Haneda did not know the specific situation of the airborne troops, and finally, when the fifth airdrop was completed, a follow-up reconnaissance plane discovered that the scarlet tongues of fire on the ground had been waiting for a long time.
However, it was already too late, and the fifth airdrop of two infantry squadrons was the same as the previous ones, and they were all wiped out tragically. Some of the airborne troops had already been beaten into a sieve by a dense rain of bullets before they landed.
Some of the parachutes of the airborne troops were broken and fell directly from a height of 1,000 meters or hundreds of meters, and the whole person was directly smashed into a meat pie.
After the news was transmitted back to Zhengzhou, Major General Haneda, who was in charge of the operation, was furious, but he was still calmly waiting for the news of the other two paratrooper groups, because the other two paratrooper groups had already received news that they had made a successful round and had rendezvous southwest of Qinyang.
After getting this news, Major General Haneda was reassured, and he gave Hashimoto Daisa, who was in charge of personally leading the command, a death order, that is, to take Qinyang at all costs.
Although Major General Haneda knew that the 42nd Army had received the news and made preparations, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, that is, the news of the Airborne Forces had not yet reached Qinyang.
He was gambling, although this gamble was extremely risky, but Major General Haneda had no choice, if he ordered the Second Wing of the Airborne Forces to retreat, then this operation could only end in failure, and he would have to be responsible for all the jade shatters of the First Paratrooper Wing.
Therefore, Major General Haneda will have to gamble, and if he wins the bet, everything will be fine, and if he loses the bet, Major General Haneda will commit suicide by himself.
………
It was night, the wind was high and the moon was dark, and the entire Qinyang County was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. Looking at Qinyang County in the distance, all you can see is the faint lights and torches.
In a dense forest a few miles southwest of Qinyang, nearly 2,000 ghost soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition were gathered.
These devil soldiers are all the Second Parachute Wing of the Reading Brigade of the Airborne Forces under the jurisdiction of the Southern Group Army. After several airdrops during the day, all the more than 2,000 paratroopers were airdropped, and all the rest landed safely, except for more than 20 people who had an accident during the parachute jump.
And was gathered here by the wing captain Hashimoto Osa, at the edge of the dense forest, Hashimoto Osa was gathering two captains around the map to discuss the plan of action.
I saw Hashimoto Daisa holding a flashlight in his left hand on the map, and pointed to the map with his right hand and said: "This is Qinyang, according to the information provided by the special high school, this Qinyang city belongs to the thousand-year-old city, surrounded by city walls, the city walls are thick and strong, and there is a regiment of Zhina army garrison in the city." If we carry out a strong attack, we will inevitably meet with desperate resistance from the Chinese army.
So I plan to adopt a night attack battle plan this time, with the two of you personally leading two special forces detachments, sneaking into the city, and then dividing the troops into two ways, all the way to create chaos in the city, and attack the headquarters of the Chinese people. The other way raided the south gate, killed the soldiers guarding the gate of the Chinese army, and opened the city gate to receive the main force of the wing into the city! Do you understand? ”
"Hay!" The two captains bowed their heads at the same time.
"Two, this operation is the first battle of the airborne troops of our Imperial Army, so we must win, and we must not discredit the face of the Imperial Army. In addition, information was received that Zhang Mingyu, commander-in-chief of the 42nd Group Army of the Chinese Army, may be in the city, and this person is a big trouble for the empire, if this person can be removed, it will be a big trouble for the empire! When the time comes, we will shock the world and become famous all over the world, and we will say long live this imperial army! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Hashimoto Daisa said sensationally.
"Long live this imperial army! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”
"Long live this imperial army! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! The two captains hurriedly waved their right hands and howled in a low voice.
"Yo Xi! Prepare for it, both of you! Let's go! Hashimoto Osa stood up and said with an awe-inspiring expression.
"Hay!" The two devil captains also hurriedly got up, suddenly closed themselves and stood upright, and then quickly turned around and left.
………
Qinyang City.
The commander of the regiment was named Wang Fushan, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly body, and his body was full of explosive muscles.
Arm strength is outstanding, in the white-knuckle battle with the little devils, often dealing with a dozen devils with bare hands is like chopping melons and vegetables, very clean and neat, his majestic and powerful hands are like two sharp big iron knives, and he can kick the devil's 38 rifle with one kick to kick it into two sections.
Because of his burly figure and strong appearance, the soldiers of the Third Regiment gave Wang Fushan a fierce nickname, "Hummer"! Although it has the same name as the American Jeep, the fighters don't care about it.
They don't know what kind of Humvee jeep there is in the United States, but they think that this kind of group seat is both powerful and cordial.
And Wang Fushan was also happy to accept the nickname given to him by his officers and soldiers, although he was a little tough, but he also integrated his own mind.
As early as the afternoon, Wang Fushan received an urgent telegram from the former enemy headquarters of the 42 nd Group Army, and after learning all this, Wang Fushan was not idle, and hurriedly summoned several battalion commanders, chief of staff, and deputy regiment commanders to discuss the response plan.
After discussing for a long time, everyone finally finalized a complete and feasible plan, and began to arrange it immediately.
After nightfall, Wang Fushan arranged all the actions and waited for the devil's airborne special forces to come and send him to death.
Around midnight, although the weather in September is very hot in the Yellow River area, after midnight, a cool breeze hits, and people can't help but feel a chill.
At the east gate of Qinyang, the three regiments, three battalions and three companies were on duty, and more than 100 soldiers in the whole company were guarded on the city wall except for one platoon of soldiers, and the remaining two platoons were guarded behind the city gate and machine gun positions were constructed. Another platoon patrolled back and forth around the east gate.
Of course, these are only clear, and the secret posts are indispensable in any regiment of the 42nd Army, and of course the secret posts of the third regiment are even more numerous.
A guard squad has three sentinels and two secret sentinels, and the rest form a patrol team to patrol the designated area.
Responsible for guarding the 500-meter eastern section of the city gate was the second squad of the third company and one platoon, the second squad had a total of 18 soldiers, belonged to the reinforced squad, and had a total of two light machine guns and two grenadiers. The squad leader was armed with a clean face box pistol.
Squad leader Zhao Dahai just poured a soak of urine outside the city, turned around and said to the other soldiers with a cigarette in his mouth: "Brothers, lift your spirits, I'll go to the rest meeting first, if there is anything to call me!" ”
"Okay!" Several fighters agreed in unison: "Squad leader, you can rest assured!" There are brothers watching! There will be no accidents! ”
"Good, good!" Zhao Dahai laughed, and immediately walked down the city wall and walked towards the city.
And after the squad leader left, those soldiers immediately gathered in groups of three or five and began to shout and play various gambling games in a low voice.
At the base of the city wall outside the city, in the dark, a devil Shaozuo touched his already wet face, put his hand to his nose and sniffed it, and couldn't help but roar angrily: "Baga Yalu!" Damn the Chinese people! ”
Although the other devil soldiers behind him tried their best to hold back their laughter, one of the ghost soldiers did not hold back and laughed, but this laughter was directly overshadowed by the loud shouts of the city wall.
The devil Shaozuo breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said with disdain in his heart: The elite of the Chinese army, it's not bad. Then he turned to the soldier behind him and said, "Action!" Hurry up and drop! ”
