Chapter 161: Transfer the Mountain Cannon
Because of the existence of anti-tank trenches, the Japanese detour troops were unable to complete the task assigned by Shuichi Takano.
Two squadrons of infantry were responsible for filling the trenches, but they had already paid the price of dozens of casualties, and the infantry did not dare to continue shoveling the earth.
All of them were armed with their weapons and looked around vigilantly, while light machine gun shooters and grenadiers fired indiscriminately from time to time.
The face of the captain of the armored car brigade became gloomy, and he looked at the anti-tank trench in front of him with a very helpless expression on his face.
By this time, the cavalry squadron had returned, and the number of cavalry in the cavalry squadron had obviously decreased a lot, and it was obvious that they had also been hit.
The cavalry squadron, which was responsible for guarding and searching, wanted to open an alternative path for tanks and armored vehicles, but they were hit by light machine guns and grenadiers, and after losing more than 30 cavalry, they had to retreat.
After reporting what they had discovered, the cavalry units hid behind them, but they did not dare to continue the search.
It was either an anti-tank trench or a dwelling, which was very unfavorable for the cavalry department to carry out operations, and after being hit by light machine guns and grenadiers, these Japanese cavalry had palpitations.
Captain Shaozo was completely helpless, he looked at the anti-tank trench in front of him, and his brows furrowed tightly.
However, at this time, the communication soldier sent by Shuichi Takano appeared, and this communication soldier immediately came to the armored vehicle and conveyed Shuichi Takano's order.
Hearing the latest order from the communications soldier, Captain Shaosa had an excited look on his face, and he immediately conveyed Takano Shuichi's order.
Unable to make a detour back to the position of the Independent Regiment from Chengguan Town, Hideichi Takano simply gave up his previous plan.
He ordered the roundabout troops to withdraw from Chengguan Town and attack directly from the flank of the position of the Independent Regiment.
At the same time, Hidekano is like a crazy gambler, and he is desperate to show all his hole cards.
All the remaining troops of the puppet army, including the lightly wounded, a total of more than 500 troops, were all dispatched by Takano Shuichi.
At the same time, he sent out the 3rd and 4th squadrons, as well as the transport squadron, leaving only some communication soldiers and hygienists with him.
At this time, Takano Shuichi had already received an order to withdraw from the 20th Division, but he was very unwilling, he felt that even if there was a brigade of reinforcements, he would be able to completely annihilate Sun Weiguo's independent regiment.
But at this time, the 20th Division did not send any reinforcements, and Takano Shuichi was desperate, and he was too unwilling.
So he gathered all his troops together, in a vain attempt to fight his last troops, and could not completely annihilate Sun Weiguo's independent regiment, and he also wanted to bring heavy losses to the independent regiment.
Although the roundabout troops had losses after the blows of the third and sixth platoons, their losses were negligible.
The roundabout troops still had eleven tanks, twenty-four armored vehicles, as well as one cavalry squadron, two infantry squadrons.
Takano Shuichi used a roundabout force to place it on the right side of the position, trying to break through the position from the right side, thereby inflicting heavy damage on Sun Weiguo's troops.
Captain Shosa conveyed the order of Shuichi Takano, and the tanks began to move, and they began to withdraw from the town.
SUN WEIGUO, WHO WAS STANDING NEXT TO THE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUN, WAS HOLDING A TELESCOPE TO OBSERVE THE SITUATION, AND WHEN HE SAW THAT THE TANK WAS RETREATING, HIS BROWS FURROWED SLIGHTLY.
"Let the cavalry battalion attack." Sun Weiguo did not hesitate at all, he immediately gave the order.
The signal soldier immediately ran out and began to convey Sun Weiguo's orders.
At the same time, the flag soldier stood on the roof of the tallest house in the town, and he quickly waved a small flag, using the flag language to convey Sun Weiguo's order.
This is a double insurance, no matter which side of the signal corps and the flag corps make a mistake, the order may still be conveyed to the cavalry battalion.
"Chen Haojie,I saw that the armored car behind the tank,It's the armored car at the front。
Sun Weiguo handed the telescope to the artilleryman Chen Haojie, he pointed to an armored car, and said softly.
This is a Japanese Type 92 armored car, Sun Weiguo has been observing this armored car for a long time, and he found that many Japanese soldiers are close to this armored car.
And every time the Japanese soldiers left this armored car, the Japanese troops immediately made adjustments.
Therefore, Sun Weiguo judged that there must be a Japanese commander in this armored car, and he sent a mountain gun over to defeat this armored car.
"Deputy commander, I saw it, are you going to knock out this armored car?" Chen Haojie raised the binoculars to observe,Soon he locked onto the armored car。
Sun Weiguo nodded,He took the telescope and looked at the armored car,And Chen Haojie began to adjust the firing angle。
The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the sky, and the yellow blasting shell was loaded into the barrel.
With Chen Haojie's "launch",The artillery trembled,A big fireball quickly cut through the air。
After the order was given by the commander of the Japanese armored car brigade, he had already begun to prepare for evacuation.
The armored car also began to move slightly, but as soon as the armored vehicle moved, the blasting shell accurately smashed in front of the armored vehicle.
With a "boom", an explosion sounded, the armored car was blown up, and the captain of the Japanese army inside felt that his whole body seemed to be in pain.
It didn't take long for the Japanese captain to lose signs of life, and he was killed on the spot.
The tanks that were about to evacuate stopped one after another, and the turret of the tank spun rapidly, "bang ......"
The tank guns began to fire, and one shell after another quickly hit the houses near the mountain guns.
The gunners in these tanks can only counterattack based on their guessed direction of the mountain guns, and if they can accurately locate the mountain guns, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Boom Boom"
A series of explosions sounded, and the two guards beside Sun Weiguo quickly pressed Sun Weiguo on his body.
Fragments of the bricks and tiles of the houses destroyed by the shells flew in all directions, and these fragments "popped" on the mountain cannons.
Sun Weiguo didn't feel the slightest pain, but the two guards who pressed on him already had a lot of wounds on their bodies.
Fortunately, the brick fragments did not hit the vital point, but only caused some skin injuries to the two guards.
"Transfer, quickly transfer the mountain artillery." Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order.
Mountain artillery and artillery are the treasures in Sun Weiguo's heart, and he doesn't want any losses in mountain artillery and artillery.
With these artillery units present, the combat effectiveness of the troops will increase a lot, and without these artillery units, the troops will definitely fall behind in the future when fighting the Japanese army.
Chen Haojie commanded the artillery to push the mountain artillery to evacuate,The first artillery company is equipped with six Japanese 41-type mountain guns。
The mountain cannon was so light that two soldiers could push it around.
The artillerymen quickly pushed the mountain guns to move their positions, but the Japanese tank shelling was still not over, they were still firing shells.
