Chapter 312: Northwest Jin Battle 12
At two o'clock in the morning, the 119th Wing of the Japanese Army began to launch a night attack on Loufan County.
More than a dozen Japanese artillery pieces launched an artillery bombardment on Loufan County, and the 1st Brigade in the east of the city quickly crossed the anti-tank trenches through ladders, and they began to storm the positions, and the two sides engaged in fierce battles outside the city.
Immediately after that, the second brigade began to attack the North City Gate, with a tank squadron and two armored vehicle squadrons taking the lead in the attack, followed by hundreds of Japanese infantry behind eight tanks and eighteen armored bodies, and launched a fierce attack on the North City Gate.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 1st Reserve Regiment were facing an attack by a large group, and the situation was worse here in the 2nd Battalion, where Ishida Kanzo had clearly placed the main attack on the flank, and he reinforced the 2nd Brigade with a tank squadron and two armored vehicle squadrons.
The Japanese infantry brigade was equipped with two infantry guns, 12 heavy machine guns, 36 light machine guns, and 36 grenadiers.
The infantry battalion of the 1st Advance Regiment is equipped with three infantry guns, 6 heavy machine guns, 27 light machine guns, and 27 grenadiers.
Although the battalion-level units of the 1st Regiment had one more infantry gun than the Japanese infantry brigade, the Japanese troops would be reinforced by the infantry artillery squadron or tank artillery squadron of the wing headquarters when they were fighting.
It can be said that the troops of the 1st Regiment are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, weapons and equipment, and the combat experience of the officers and men of the troops.
Their only advantage is that they are on the defensive side, but in the face of the onslaught of the Japanese army, it is not easy to hold the position.
The 1st Battalion was on par with the Japanese under the command of Yin Jin, but the attrition losses of the 1st Battalion were staggering.
After half an hour of hard fighting, the 2nd Battalion soon had problems, and the Japanese troops entered the city through the gap with the help of anti-tank guns and armored troops.
Chen Haojie's eighth company lost an infantry gun and two heavy machine guns, but it did not stop the Japanese army.
Battalion commander Fu Tao saw dozens of Japanese troops enter the city, his anxious face was covered with sweat, he quickly organized a death squad and began to drive away the Japanese troops who entered the city.
"Hold the position, hold the position to the death, and no troops will retreat." When Fu Tao came to the city, he brandished a shell gun and shouted loudly.
Looking at the two devil soldiers in front of him, Fu Tao immediately launched a point shot, two bullets were fired, and the two ghost soldiers fell to the ground.
The soldiers fought desperately under the command of Fu Tao, and the second battalion finally blocked the gap and did not let the devil soldiers continue to pour into the city from here.
In Dujialing Village, in the second brigade headquarters, Captain Shaozuo held a telescope to observe the battle on the front line.
Seeing that his troops were making good progress, a smile began to appear on his face, but when he saw that the gap in the city wall was once again blocked by the officers and soldiers of the first regiment, he couldn't help frowning tightly.
In order to successfully enter the county town in this operation, Captain Shaozuo sent all the combat troops out, and at this time there was only a transport squadron of more than 100 people around him.
"Tubu!"
The sound of submachine gun fire sounded, and the four devil soldiers fell to the ground, and at this time Sun Weiguo had already entered the village with a special operations team.
Behind the special operations group were the troops of the guard company, and dozens of officers and men of the two guard platoons followed behind the special operations group.
The ghost soldiers encountered were dealt with by submachine guns, and the gunfire in the village began to attract the attention of the Japanese commander Shaozo.
His brows furrowed slightly, with a solemn expression on his face, he held the binoculars and glanced around, and Captain Shaozo immediately summoned the squadron leader of the transport squadron.
"Did you hear the gunshots?" After seeing the arrival of the captain squadron leader, Captain Shaozuo immediately asked.
"Captain, where did the gunfire come from, is it the gunfire of the front-line battle?" The captain asked with a puzzled face.
"Tubu!" At this moment, gunshots were heard again not far away.
This time, the captain and squadron leader heard the gunshots, but it was too late, because Sun Weiguo and the special operations team had already occupied the nearby rooftop.
"The Chinese troops." Captain Shaozo took out his southern pistol, and he shouted loudly.
Before he could pull the trigger, Sun Weiguo began to shoot.
Before the Japanese commander could react, he was hit by a submachine gun bullet, and the body of the captain fell down.
After seeing his captain killed, the captain and squadron leader hurriedly ran into the house.
At this time, Liu Jingnuma had already rushed over with the troops of the guard company, and they quickly rushed into the house and started shooting.
The captain squadron leader, together with the signal corps and staff officers in the brigade headquarters, were all sieveed by the bullets of the submachine guns, and the guard company troops captured the headquarters of the 2nd Japanese brigade.
When the baggage soldiers of the Japanese transport squadron heard the gunshots, they rushed towards the brigade headquarters with rifles.
Before these baggage soldiers arrived at the brigade headquarters, Ge Haifeng and the reconnaissance company had already begun to slaughter them.
The cavalrymen brandished their sabers and cut off the heads of the baggage soldiers one by one, and in less than an hour, Sun Weiguo, with the reconnaissance company, the guard company and the special combat team, had already captured Dujialing Village, where the second brigade headquarters of the Japanese army was located, and they killed the captain of the Japanese Shaozuo brigade.
"Ge Haifeng, go and solve the Japanese heavy machine gun position in front, Liu Jingnuma, immediately set up a trick mine."
Sun Weiguo immediately gave an order, and Ge Haifeng and the cavalry of the reconnaissance company quickly rushed towards the Japanese heavy machine gun position.
Liu Jingnuma didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and he began to lead the officers and soldiers of the guard company to bury the mines.
After deploying the operations of the two companies, Sun Weiguo evacuated Dujialing Village with a special operations group.
The four sniper groups were covering the operations of the reconnaissance company, and they had already begun to shoot Japanese shooters on Japanese heavy machine gun positions.
Ge Haifeng's reconnaissance company quickly entered the Japanese heavy machine gun position, and the cavalry began to slaughter the Japanese army.
These devil soldiers would not have expected the cavalry to appear from behind them, and they were caught off guard.
After a while, the Japanese heavy machine gun position was destroyed, and the cavalry did not have time to capture the heavy machine guns, so Ge Haifeng immediately ordered all the Japanese heavy machine guns to be blown up.
As the heavy machine gun position continued to sound explosions, the Japanese troops attacking the north gate heard the sound of explosions behind them, and they became extremely shocked.
"Squadron leader, no, the brigade headquarters has been attacked by the enemy." Some of the devil soldiers began to exclaim.
