Chapter 505: The casualties are too great

Under the command of Chen Haojie, six 41-type mountain guns continued to fire armor-piercing bullets, as the armor-piercing shells were fired, the advance speed of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles was blocked.

"Smoke grenades were fired, and the troops quickly withdrew." The commander of the independent regiment, Zhong Jian, heard that there was artillery support behind him, and he shouted loudly.

The only remaining grenadiers immediately began to be erected, and smoke grenades began to be fired.

Smoke grenades began to fall on the ground, patches of smoke began to rise, and armored vehicles and tanks began to be blocked.

"Boom, boom!" Six 41-type mountain guns continued to fire armor-piercing shells, and one after another armor-piercing shells exploded around the tanks and armored vehicles.

The view of tanks and armored vehicles was blocked by smoke grenades, they could not see anything, and the tanks and armored vehicles were only able to accelerate forward.

The soldiers of the independent regiment took the opportunity to evacuate quickly, and of the more than 60 people who set off from Baijing Town, only more than 200 people were able to evacuate back at this time, and no one even found Chen Yang, the commander of the second battalion who had passed out in a coma.

Although the tanks and armored vehicles could not see the situation in front of them, their machine guns did not stop firing, and one bullet after another was fired, and the bullets poured towards the front like rain, and dozens of fighters did not have time to hide, and they were directly knocked down by the machine gun bullets.

"Suppress Japanese machine-gun fire, three bursts of rapid fire." Chen Haojie gave an order loudly.

The six mountain guns accelerated the firing speed, and the armor-piercing shells were shot out, but at this time, the Japanese artillery detachment had already begun to notice the six 41-type mountain guns commanded by Chen Haojie.

Ikuta Nakasa immediately dispatched a 75MM field artillery squadron, and a 75MM mountain artillery squadron began to suppress Chen Haojie's artillery position.

At this time, the artillery group on the annoying mountain in Dongzhai, after the shooting of the Japanese long-range artillery, the artillery group only had ten 94-type mountain guns, and the original artillery unit of nearly 30 guns, after a artillery battle with the Japanese army, they suffered heavy losses, the artillery on the annoying mountain in Dongzhai suffered heavy casualties, and in addition to the bullet casings on the artillery position, there were many corpses of artillerymen.

But the sacrifice of these artillery soldiers is meaningful, if they had not pinned down part of the Japanese artillery, I am afraid that the independent regiment would have been wiped out long ago.

Eight artillery pieces began to shell Chen Haojie's artillery position, and the rest of the artillery carried out free shelling of the evacuated officers and soldiers of the independent regiment.

Shells were constantly being fired, and fierce battles were still ongoing.

Yue Wu, who had been in a coma, was urgently rescued by the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the first regiment to Baijing Town, and at the same time that Yue Wu woke up, he immediately issued an order.

At this time, there was still half a machine gun company and two temporarily organized infantry companies in Baijing Town, and these more than 300 troops could still continue to fight, and Yue Wu immediately sent them out, and the task of these troops was to attack the Japanese artillery positions in a roundabout way to attract Japanese armored troops and infantry units to come back.

The troops of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment quickly began to set off, and more than 100 fighters were lightly armed, they only carried rifles, and quickly assaulted the Japanese artillery positions.

Back to the east of the town, in the headquarters of the second battle group, Sun Weiguo, who was watching the battle with a telescope, his face became solemn, his brows furrowed tightly, and the two brows were almost connected.

The former Huang'an Village was still under the control of the Japanese army, and a brigade of the Yongxing detachment and the ninth company of the third battalion launched several strong attacks, but no progress was made.

The 3rd Brigade of the 132nd Wing took a position in a temporarily dug bunker, and they were stuck on the bunker, and all kinds of light and heavy weapons were constantly firing to intercept the attacks of the Chinese troops.

The main forces of the cavalry battalion and the second battalion of the 1st Advance Regiment had gradually gained a suppressive advantage over the encirclement and annihilation of the 1st and 2nd squadrons of the Japanese army, and the devil soldiers of the two infantry squadrons had already paid more than 200 casualties, and the remaining 100 or so were quickly approaching the positions held by the 3rd Brigade.

Since the Japanese artillery and light and heavy machine gun shooters were already shooting without distinguishing between friend and foe, bullets and shells fell on the side of the cavalry, and both Chinese and Japanese soldiers were wounded.

"What is going on with the troops of the third battalion, whether the Japanese troops in the former Huang'an Village can be wiped out, immediately contact the commander of the third battalion, Liu Jingnuma, and tell him that if the Japanese troops in the former Huang'an Village cannot be eliminated, at least I will drive the Japanese troops out of the former Huang'an Village, if he can't do this, this battalion commander will not be the commander."

Sun Weiguo put down the binoculars, he picked up the rifle beside him, and after checking the rifle situation, he said in a cold tone.

The herald could sense Sun Weiguo's anger, he hurriedly saluted Sun Weiguo, and then quickly ran in the direction of Qianhuang'an Village.

Sun Weiguo was not idle, he put the shell gun on his waist, and quickly moved forward with his rifle.

He came to the armored battalion with a rifle, and at present the armored battalion still has eight armored vehicles and five tanks, after annihilating the Japanese troops on the flanks, the armored battalion is immediately advancing, and they have to cooperate with Chen Guitang's cavalry battalion to cut off the retreat of the Japanese third brigade, and at the same time to block the reinforcements of the Japanese troops in the former Huang'an Village.

"Yin Jinshan, you immediately take the armored company, armored car platoon, mechanized artillery company, and cavalry battalion machine gun platoon to quickly reinforce the former Huang'an Village to fight, I don't care how difficult it is for you, find a way to suppress the Japanese artillery in the former Huang'an Village, don't let the artillery continue to shoot, the casualties we paid are too great."

After coming to the armored battalion, Sun Weiguo came directly to the Type 89 tank where Yin Jinshan was, and after Yin Jinshan opened the top cover of the tank and drilled out his head, Yang Xinghua immediately gave an order.

"Yes, brigade commander, I will set off immediately, please rest assured that no matter how much the armored battalion pays, I will quickly knock out the Japanese mountain artillery, and I will definitely not let the Japanese mountain artillery continue to fire shells." Yin Jinshan immediately made a guarantee to Sun Weiguo.

Sun Weiguo nodded, and then Yin Jinshan began to set off with the armored battalion troops, and the mechanized artillery company deployed on the flank of the Japanese Third Brigade Headquarters, Yin Jinshan also began to send people to contact them, asking them to set off with the armored troops of the armored battalion.

After a while, the armored battalion troops drove towards the former Huang'an Village.

Without the containment of mechanized artillery batteries and other artillery, the Japanese began to stick to their positions, trying in vain to hold on to their temporary dug bunkers and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

The cavalry battalion of the new second brigade, the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment, the second battalion of the pre-first regiment, the first company of the artillery battalion of the 129th division, and the mortar company directly under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, these units are responsible for encircling and annihilating the third brigade of the Japanese army.
