Chapter Ninety-Four: Peak Duel (8)
Chen Zhi'an, who has been personally guided by Han Yunhua, is still very experienced in dealing with this situation. Chen Zhi'an knew that the reason why the Japanese army was able to repel the charge of the cavalry regiment was entirely because of the dozens of wooden carriages and the existence of more than a dozen extremely strong ones on the houses. In particular, the dozen or so light and heavy machine guns completely occupied the commanding heights of Daya Bay, and the charge of the cavalry regiment could be said to have been repelled by them.
Looking at the dozens of cavalry regiments of knights who fell to the ground, Chen Zhi'an was angry and didn't fight anywhere, and ordered loudly: "The first battalion will stay to attack this line of defense, and the second and third battalions will give me a detour back to the back of the village, and quickly take down the devil's arsenal to prevent the devil's dog from jumping over the wall and blowing up the arsenal." ”
Chen Zhi'an himself stayed in the first battalion, he ordered the first battalion and one company to each hold five grenades, all of them open the back cover of the grenades, ready to throw them out at any time, and then the first company launched a new round of charge against the devil's defense line again, and the other three companies of the first battalion were fully covering the actions of the first company.
The attack of the first company went smoothly, although there were certain casualties, but under the violent explosion of more than 500 grenades, more than a dozen large wooden carts used by the devils to block the charge of the cavalry regiment were blown to pieces, and the road for the cavalry regiment to charge suddenly became clear.
Although the dozen or so machine guns on the houses still pose a certain threat to the cavalry regiment, as long as the cavalry regiment's charge is not blocked, then as long as it rushes into the devil's infantry brigade and mixes with the devil's main force, then the devil's machine guns will not dare to shoot easily.
Braving the shrenchnel of grenades, one company rushed into the ranks of the devils behind the defense line one by one, and several other companies of the first battalion rushed forward without Chen Zhi'an giving an order.
At first, he was very worried about the attack of the Eighth Route Army, but when he learned that all the cavalry troops sent by the Eighth Route Army to attack Daya Bay this time were cavalry troops, Kobayashi Ichiro Nakasa's heart suddenly had an idea.
As we all know, the attack power of the cavalry mainly comes from the sharp impact force, as long as the impact of the cavalry is contained, then the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be reduced by at least half, plus the cavalry generally does not carry mortars and heavy machine guns, except for a small part of the light machine guns, the cavalry units basically do not have the ability to strategically suppress. Therefore, Kobayashi Ichiro Nakasa hurriedly put together this line of defense on an improvised basis, and personally led a squadron of soldiers here to block the cavalry regiment of the 1st Assault Brigade, while he also ordered another squadron to quickly set up a stronger line of defense behind this line.
But Kobayashi Ichiro could never have imagined that this line of defense would collapse so quickly, and he and the soldiers of the garrison squadron were rushed in by the soldiers of the cavalry regiment before they could withdraw to the second line of defense.
The blade is in the bone, and the blood is flying. The bayonet and the saber are staggered, and the human body collides with the horse's body. The clanging of swords, the neighing of horses, screams, roars, violent explosions, and the fierce gunfire not far away played a death march in Daya Bay, a land where the souls were wandering.
More than 1,300 cavalry VS more than 300 infantry, the end was already doomed, and in the face of the powerful offensive of the cavalry regiment of the 1st Assault Brigade, all the resistance of the Japanese army was in vain. Twenty minutes later, less than thirty men remained in the two full field squadrons of the 1st Wing of the Japanese Yamashita Brigade, hiding in a small temple under the command of a lieutenant to make a final struggle.
Chen Zhi'an knew that the brigade commander was still waiting for news from him, although Yang Chengwu gave their cavalry regiment the task of feints to attack Daya Bay, force the enemy to return to reinforcements, and it was best to blow up the enemy's military supplies. However, there was no specific battle plan for the cavalry regiment, so Chen Zhi'an simply gave the devil a surprise attack.
As a die-hard admirer of Han Yunhua, Chen Zhi'an knew for a long time that the headquarters of the military region was now short of almost everything, and as early as a month ago, the headquarters of the military region issued an order to all brigades to raise their own money, food, weapons, and ammunition. Now a large piece of the devil's fat is in the mouth of their cavalry regiment, Chen Zhi'an wants to snatch back this batch of weapons and ammunition even by virtue of being punished, in Chen Zhi'an's own words, if he doesn't rob it, it's not his style, let alone the students taught by his teacher Han Yunhua.
As for the more than 30 devils who were still resisting, Chen Zhi'an directly asked a battalion and a company to find two infantry guns, and when the two shells went down, everything turned into dust, and even the small temple was blown to the ground. ,
The battle to attack Daya Bay went smoothly, completely annihilating the two integrated squadrons of the devils, seizing 54 trucks of various supplies, and also rescuing 12 women and the only surviving male second child in Daya Bay. After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Zhi'an asked the troops to load all the grain, livestock, and money that the devils had snatched from the villagers of Daya Bay into a car, and rushed to Zhangbei County together with the 13 surviving men and women in Daya Bay.
Going back to Yang Chengwu's side, Cangluyi Nan Dazuo still did not rescue the hundreds of soldiers who were surrounded, but he was defeated and retreated by Yang Chengwu's troops, and the defeat of the first wing has been undoubtedly revealed.
Canglu Yi Nan Dazuo knew that it was no longer a question of whether he could rescue those besieged soldiers, but he should consider how to retreat from his remaining more than 1,000 people, but he knew that in the hands of that senior officer named Han Yunhua, there were already at least two major generals who were loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time, several integrated wings were completely annihilated, which means that for these Chinese troops, it is not a new thing to completely annihilate an integrated wing.
Although he didn't care when he would die for His Majesty the Emperor, he hoped that he could personally witness the sacred moment of the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia, and that he could live until the day when the Great Japanese Empire was truly powerful. He didn't want his first wing to become the first wing in the history of the Yamashita Brigade to be completely annihilated, and he also wanted to avenge the thousands of warriors who died tragically at the hands of Han Yunhua's tribe.
The retreating Cangluyi man Dazuo began to fight and retreat with the remaining more than 1,000 people, but Yang Chengwu did not give the Japanese army a chance to withdraw from the battlefield, and Yang Chengwu, who was angry, ordered the troops to attack most of the Japanese army with all their might, and the Japanese rearguard was left to the troops behind them to solve, and the large army had to chase the main force of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army must not be allowed to go back.
To be honest, Cangluyi Nan Dazuo was really unlucky, and after leaving a squadron to block the pursuit of the 1st Assault Brigade, he led the rest of the men to flee in the direction of Daya Bay. Yes, it is the situation of the male Dazuo who fled to the current Cangluyi can no longer be described as retreating, and the embarrassed First Wing is like a lost dog, chased by Yang Chengwu and has nowhere to hide. When Cangluyi Nan Dazuo had just escaped from Nanshanliang in Tangdigou Village, before he could catch his breath, fierce gunfire came from the front of the troops. Cangluyi male Dazuo was stunned by the sudden blow, and the ** who escaped suddenly turned into endless despair.
Wang Huisen waited for two and a half hours at the ambush site without seeing the devil's reinforcements, so he sent a company to search back along the main road, and when he came to a place more than ten miles away from the village of Chongdigou, the first battalion and one company of the second regiment saw more than a dozen cars parked in the col, and behind each car was a "giant cannon" dragged, and there were more than a dozen soldiers wearing Japanese uniforms sitting on the cars. And on one side of the car, there were a couple of guys who looked like officers who seemed to be arguing about something. The commander of the first company was a stunned young man, and he was known for his bravery in battle, and he knew at a glance that it was the artillery unit of the devils, because those devil soldiers were not equipped with rifles, and the dozen or so huge cannons behind the car that he had never seen before were the most obvious features.
The commander of the first company saw that there was no devil infantry around to protect him, and he knew that it was a good opportunity, and he didn't think about whether the devil's infantry was not far away, he couldn't care so much, in his words, when the devil's infantry came up, they would have wiped out the devil's artillery squadron a long time ago, after all, the devil couldn't put bayonets on the cannon if he was powerful. Even if you can't escape in the end, it's worth it, after all, it seems very cost-effective to exchange an infantry company for an artillery squadron.
The battle soon ended, and a total of 225 devils, except for more than 100 who were killed by the first company, intentionally or unintentionally, the remaining more than 120 became prisoners of the first company. The will to fight of these artillery soldiers really made the stunned young company of the first battalion and one company of the second regiment despise it a lot, and less than five minutes after the battle began, a complete artillery squadron surrendered en masse, except for the squadron leader who counterattacked with a pistol a few times, the others either turned around and ran or knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, making the commander of the first company feel that his heavy punch seemed to hit the cotton.
From the mouth of the devil's prisoners, I learned that the reason why the devils were delayed was that the devils were entangled by the main force of the brigade headquarters, and only their artillery units with cars withdrew back, and the other troops were still fighting hard with the Eighth Route Army in front.
Although Wang Huisen, the head of the second regiment, didn't know why Yang Chengwu was pestering the devil, he knew that the devil seemed to be unable to come for the time being, and he was afraid that he would have to wait in vain here, so Wan Guoquan ordered the troops to immediately rush to Chongdigou Village to support Yang Chengwu and others.
As soon as Wang Huisen and the others arrived at the village of Chongdigou, they bumped into the male Dazuo of Cangluyi, who fled in a hurry, and Wang Huisen did not hesitate to organize the troops into battle.
