Chapter 438: The Fall of the 33rd Division (5)

Going back to the 33rd Division, after receiving the order of Lieutenant General Gampa Shigetaro, the two infantry wings of the 33rd Division, the 213th and 215th Infantry Wings, and the three infantry groups of the puppet army immediately assembled and drove towards Huajialing.

As soon as the Japanese army left the county seat of Weixian, Yang Chengwu on the front line received an urgent telegram from the reconnaissance unit. Yang Chengwu, who was urgently appointed by Han Yunhua as the commander-in-chief of the southern front, was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the first brigade of the reorganized 300th Division to immediately get out of the way and let the Japanese army enter the mountain. The 2nd Brigade, 3rd Brigade, Tank Brigade, and Artillery Brigade of the 300th Division received an order to rush forward immediately after the Japanese army was surrounded and completely annihilate this Japanese puppet army.

However, after the order was issued to the front line, the first brigade from the brigade commander Ma Jiayuan to the ordinary soldiers were very dissatisfied, in Ma Jiayuan's words, how could our first brigade suddenly become a stepmother, and we could only drink soup when people ate r-u, and called Yang Chengwu back at that time, hoping that their first brigade would serve as the main force in this annihilation war. But what attracted was a scolding from Yang Chengwu, and Yang Chengwu told him that although the 1st Brigade was not the main force to annihilate the 33rd Division this time, it was the vanguard of the recovery of Wei County.

Ma Jiayuan doesn't really want to fight for the main force of the attack, and it is expected to attract a scolding, although he has not worked with Yang Chengwu for a long time, but he knows the temper of this top boss. All the cadres of the entire Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region know that Han Yunhua is now the absolute boss in the entire Military Region, and the most effective thing to speak next is not the newly appointed political commissar Luo Ronghuan, but Chen Geng, who has always served as the commander of the 77th Independent Division of the Military Region, because everyone knows the relationship between Chen Geng and Han Yunhua, and if you offend the commander, maybe the commander will not do anything to you, but if you offend Master Chen, your life will be sad. In addition, Yang Chengwu, who controls the most sharp integrated division of the entire military region, has a status in the military region that ordinary people can match, and all the military and political cadres in the military region know that Yang Chengwu is Han Yunhua's most tacit partner in marching and fighting, and when Han Yunhua served as the commander of the military region, he gave Yang Chengwu the 300th integrated division he built, which shows Han Yunhua's trust in Yang Chengwu.

Ma Jiayuan knew that there was such a number one person as Yang Chengwu as early as the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and almost all the headquarters cadres and chiefs were full of envy, jealousy and hatred when they mentioned Yang Chengwu, including General Peng and Division Commander Liu and Deng Gong and others often sighed Yang Chengwu's good luck. But in fact, at that time, the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was only 10,000 people, more than 3,000 guns, and the first army division only had less than 2,000 troops. However, in just two years, Yang Chengwu has become the commander of a huge integrated division, although the division-level units of the M-NG Ancient Military Region are far from being as huge as the 129th Division, 120th Division and 115th Division, but the combat effectiveness of the integrated 300th Division is not to be underestimated, infantry, cavalry, engineers, artillery, charioteers, and special forces are all available, and its combat effectiveness is not to mention that it is an ordinary Japanese field division. Even the most sharp permanent divisions of the Japanese army are not necessarily the opponents of the integrated 300th Division, so Yang Chengwu is definitely a legend at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

When Ma Jiayuan was transferred to the M-Ng Ancient Military Region, he has been staying in the first brigade of the 300th Division, and the first brigade is the absolute main force of the 300th Division. It shows that he, the brigade commander, has done his best.

However, Yang Chengwu's telegram still made Ma Jiayuan very happy, compared to the annihilation of the two infantry wings of the Japanese army plus the infantry group of the three puppet armies, the recovery of the Y-uhu- of Wei County was obviously larger. So when Ma Jiayuan conveyed Yang Chengwu's reply, the whole trip suddenly became vigorous and vigorous.

Akiyama Tadaichi originally thought that as soon as he left the city, he would be blocked by the team, but he didn't expect that it was more than ten kilometers out of the city, and it was less than twenty kilometers away from Huajialing, but they were still not blocked by the team. But Akiyama Tadaichi did not relax his vigilance because he was not attacked, the more this happened, the more worried Akiyama Tadaichi became, he knew very well that the squadron was far from being as unbearable as those in the empire who had not been on the battlefield and had never seen the Shina troops said. The momentum of the conscientious team is still very strong, but limited by China's national strength, so they lost to the empire in terms of weapons and equipment.

Akiyama Tadaichi ordered the search troops to put the cordon two kilometers away to prevent the ambush of the team, and encircling the point to send reinforcements was exactly the specialty of the Eighth Route Army, and it was also the jīng essence of the guerrilla warfare they advocated, and Akiyama Tadaichi had to guard against it.

However, the closer to the battlefield, the more tense the atmosphere became, and less than five kilometers away from Huajialing Town, Akiyama Tadashi's unit was blocked by the squadron, although there were not many Chinese troops on the opposite side, and there were only infantry battalions when they were full, but the battle of this Chinese infantry battalion was much greater than Akiyama and others expected. The firepower of this unit was so strong and the quality of the soldiers that Akiyama and others were shocked, so that the Chinese troops, who were only four or five hundred people, were equipped with twelve tǐng heavy machine guns and more than twenty tǐng light machine guns, and on average, every fifteen soldiers could divide one tǐng light and heavy machine guns, and the firepower of this infantry battalion alone was comparable to the firepower intensity of two-thirds of his 213 infantry wing.

However, no matter how strong the enemy's firepower on the opposite side was, the commander of the 215th Wing of the Akiyama Synchronized Army, Jiro Fukuda Osa, decided to attack after some discussion, because just now His Excellency the division commander sent an urgent telegram saying that the battle on the other side of Huajialing was rapidly deteriorating here, and about 1,500 Chinese troops had surrounded the three unfortunate infantry squadrons of the empire on a hill north of Huajialing Town, and the Chinese troops were also equipped with a large number of mortars and grenadiers. The only five tǐng heavy machine guns of the three infantry squadrons of the empire have been destroyed, and now only three tǐng light machine guns are barely usable, and Captain Takahashi has already sent a farewell telegram to the division headquarters, ready to lead the remaining 300 or so people to Y-crush with the Zhina.

Fortunately, the aviation regiment was about to arrive, and although the Shina troops were well equipped, they did not have the weapons to deal with the Imperial Sky Samurai, so His Excellency the division commander ordered Akiyama's headquarters to break through the enemy in front of them at all costs, and rescue Takahashi and other infantry squadrons first.

In the opinion of Akiyama and others, although the position of the middle ** on the opposite side is very distinctive, and the weapons and equipment are not bad, but the number is only a few hundred people, and the imperial army only needs to send any infantry brigade to break through the position of the Chinese army in ten minutes.

Due to the urgency of the battle, Akiyama did not let the Imperial Allied Army act as cannon fodder this time, but ordered the Fukuda Brigade, the only fully manned infantry brigade of the 213th Infantry Wing, to fight, and also ordered the only mountain artillery brigade brought this time to provide fire assistance.

“… Rumble... Rumble... Boom..."

After the consistent artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, the Futian Brigade marched towards the formation of the squadron. [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
