Chapter 484: Special Combat Team Operation
Several orders began to be immediately transmitted by radio to the headquarters of the new 2nd Brigade and the command of the 1st Battle Group.
The brigade headquarters of the new 2nd Brigade immediately moved to Yangquan County with the medical team and the communications company, the political commissar Shen Wei took the brigade headquarters to transfer, and the deputy chief of staff Qin Xianliang rushed to Donghui Town with the reserve 3rd Battalion to deploy defense.
The armored battalion and cavalry battalion of the 1st Battle Group quickly went to Donghui Town, under the command of Deputy Chief of Staff Qin Xianliang, to prevent the Japanese 132nd Wing from entering Donghui Town and make peace with the 1st Brigade of the melee.
The chiefs of staff, Zhao Lerong, Yin Jin, and Sun Ziyuan, were responsible for commanding the artillery group, the first battalion of the first regiment, the special combat team, and the special service battalion to launch an attack on the enemy in front of Wujiashan, attracting Japanese troops to Baijing Town to come back for reinforcements.
After receiving Sun Weiguo's order, the various units quickly mobilized, and after Zhao Lerong, Yin Jin and Sun Ziyuan deliberated, they decided to immediately launch an attack on Okamoto's brigade.
At present, there are only more than 600 people in the Okamoto Brigade who can fight, and they have two infantry guns and 12 heavy machine guns to assist in the battle, while the first battalion of the 1st Pre-regiment still has more than 400 people who can participate in the battle, and the special service battalion also has a heavy machine gun company that can participate in the battle, and the artillery group of Wujiashan can provide artillery support at any time.
Outside Zhaojiayu Village, the Japanese artillery squad position, two infantry guns were scattered and erected, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the front.
As the main force of the 1st Brigade began to move to Kashiwai Town, the Okamoto Brigade began to stop attacking, and they only launched a few diversionary attacks.
The two infantry guns would switch positions almost with a single shell, and they did this to prevent them from being killed by the artillery group of the new 2nd Brigade.
At this time, the Japanese second lieutenant squad leader looked ahead with a telescope, and the second lieutenant squad leader had a solemn expression on his face.
Watching the Chinese troops begin to attack from their positions, the second lieutenant squad leader knew that the Chinese troops had launched a fierce attack, and he did not know for a moment whether he should immediately carry out an artillery bombardment.
He really wanted to launch an artillery bombardment on the attacking Chinese soldiers, but he knew that once he carried out an artillery bombardment on his side, he would definitely be discovered by the artillery group of the new Second Brigade on Wujia Mountain, so that his two infantry guns would be easily destroyed.
"Squad leader, there are two units of the Chinese army that are gathered together, and now we are firing anti-personnel grenades, which will definitely bring at least thirty casualties to these Chinese troops."
A Japanese squad leader came to the second lieutenant squad leader, he looked at the second lieutenant squad leader, and said excitedly.
"Don't shoot for the time being, we're at a ......disadvantage here," the Japanese second lieutenant squad leader whispered, and before he finished his words, shells began to attack Zhaojiayu Village.
The artillery group on Wujia Mountain began to shoot, and 20 artillery pieces of different calibers began to fire, and one shell after another came towards Zhaojiayu Village.
The shells began to explode one after another, and more than 50 devil soldiers in the village began to be killed, and hundreds of devil soldiers began to scream in pain.
Artillery fire began to extend, and Yue Wu and the first battalion began to attack under the cover of light and heavy machine guns.
The heavy machine gun company of the special service battalion continued to fire eight Makqin and Type 92 heavy machine guns, and one bullet after another suppressed the firepower of the devil soldiers' position.
The Japanese machine gun squadron with heavy machine guns tried to take cover, but every day the shooters did not fire a few bullets before they were attacked by artillery.
After paying the price of the destruction of four heavy machine guns, the shooters of the Japanese machine gun wing did not dare to shoot at will.
The artillery fire began to stop, and the Japanese second lieutenant squad leader looked back at the two infantry guns and was relieved to see that the infantry guns had not been destroyed.
Then he took out his binoculars, and just as he was about to look ahead, the Japanese second lieutenant squad leader felt a pain in the back of his head.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and he knew that he must have been hit by a bullet, but by the time he guessed this, he was already dead on the spot.
Gunfire began to ring out in the Japanese artillery positions, and the sound of Thomson submachine gun fire continued to sound, which was the action of the special combat team.
Zhang Junjia, the captain of the special combat team, led his team members to the Japanese artillery position very early, and they did not start shooting for a long time, for fear that their position would be exposed.
But as the artillery group began to shoot, Zhang Junjia began to lead his troops into action, and three snipers fired at the Japanese officers.
Zhang Junjia led six soldiers to launch a surprise attack from behind, and one submachine gun after another continued to strafe, and a ghost soldier began to fall to the ground.
More than a dozen devil soldiers were killed on the spot, and the remaining seven or eight devil soldiers immediately took out Type 38 rifles, but before they had time to shoot, the deputy captain Liu Nuo appeared from the flank with three team members, and four submachine guns began to shoot, and the bodies of these seven or eight devil soldiers were beaten into a sieve.
After solving the Japanese artillery position, the special combat team continued to advance towards Zhaojiayu Village, and the 14 soldiers of the special combat team advanced rapidly, and they were like sharp knives, inserted into the hearts of the Japanese troops.
"Captain, it's not good, the artillery position has been raided, and the artillery squad is all broken."
"Captain, the position of the first squadron has been attacked by the Chinese troops, and the first squadron has already paid more than 80 casualties."
"Captain, the position of the fourth squadron has been lost, and all the fifty-six people of the fourth squadron have been shattered."
One by one, news began to spread to the headquarters of the Okamoto Brigade, and when Hideaki Okamoto heard the news, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
He didn't expect the Chinese troops to counterattack so violently, his brows furrowed tightly, and Hideaki Okamoto immediately began to give the order to retreat.
The task of the Okamoto brigade is to contain the Chinese troops, and in the situation that his own troops are at a disadvantage, Okamoto Hideaki feels that evacuation is the best way.
The Japanese troops began to withdraw on a large scale, but the Chinese troops did not let them go, Yue Wu commanded the first battalion to quickly launch a pursuit, and the artillery commander Zheng Jingjing commanded the artillery group to start an artillery bombardment to intercept the withdrawal of Okamoto's brigade.
In desperation, Hideaki Okamoto saw that the losses of his troops were getting bigger and bigger, and he had to send a telegram to the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Dogfight, asking for tactical guidance.
After Kunomura Momoyo received Hideaki Okamoto's telegram asking for help, he immediately ordered Okamoto's brigade to approach the main force of the brigade, and at the same time he ordered the 4th Brigade to cooperate with the 1st Tank Squadron and the 1st Armored Vehicle Squadron to receive the withdrawal of Okamoto Hideaki's troops, and at the same time to carry out a surprise attack on the pursuing Chinese troops.
THE TWO FIELD ARTILLERY SQUADRONS OF THE ARTILLERY DETACHMENT BEGAN TO STOP ADVANCING, THEY SET UP ARTILLERY POSITIONS IN THEIR PLACE, AND FOUR 75MM FIELD GUNS AND FOUR 105MM FIELD GUNS BEGAN TO SUPPORT HIDEAKI OKAMOTO'S BRIGADE.
The 1st Battle Group was a successful operation, not only posing a threat to Okamoto's brigade, but also pinning down some Japanese forces, and importantly, covering up the transfer of the armored and cavalry battalions.
