Chapter 227: The Battle of Huangcun (3)
The remnants of the two regiments of the 29th Army rushed along the pre-designed retreat route! Weapons and equipment were dropped along the way, and some soldiers even took off their uniforms! A completely defeated army! Seeing this scene, the Japanese soldiers who were chasing behind were even more screaming and chasing forward! And under the stimulation of this scene, the Japanese soldiers who were pursuing behind gradually stopped shooting, and all of them were bayoneted, and all the routed soldiers who fled slowly and lone were bayoneted! Compared with the lethality caused by bullets and shells, the Japanese soldiers who admired the spirit of bushido seemed to like the sound of bayonets stabbing into flesh and blood!
This allowed most of the soldiers of the remnants of these two regiments to escape with their lives! This retreat route was also chosen in advance, and it was in the direction of Huangcun and! The purpose of these two regiments was to lead the large forces of the Japanese army to the ambush circle of the 54th Army in Huangcun!
Kiyoji Kazuki felt that something was wrong. Although the 29th Army was scattered, the strength of the two divisions they gathered plus the rout they gathered together was definitely the strength of two divisions, at least fifteen or six thousand people! If it is full, there will be about 20,000 people! How can this position look huge, but it seems to have only two regiments! "Could it be that the fire of the aviation units is too fierce, coupled with the fire coverage of the artillery units, which turns the soldiers of these two divisions into two regiments? And then I was completely defeated, lost my armor, and fled? Kazuki Kiyoji's heart couldn't help but laugh.
As soon as he thought of this, Kazuki Kiyoji no longer had any doubts, but let those troops go after him! "We must wipe out this abominable Chinese army! Wash away the humiliation of holding our army back for a month! Kiyoji Kazuki thought hatefully.
It was precisely because of this carelessness of Kazuki Kiyoji that the First Army of the Japanese North China Front caused the biggest setback since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War! It also slowed down the strategic intention of the North China Front Army to invade southward as a whole, and gave the rest of the domestic troops a chance to breathe. Of course, this was also because of the bloody struggle of the 54th Army. It's just that at this moment, Kiyoji Kazuki is obviously unaware of these problems. At this moment, he only wanted to annihilate all the remnants of the 29th Army in order to spit out the evil breath that was suffocating in his heart!
"Inform the 162nd Division, get ready for battle! The vanguard of the Japanese army is approaching! Tian Zheng received the information from the reconnaissance battalion and immediately sent an order to Zhao Qilong of the 162nd Division, which was located in the first line of defense in Huangcun, to prepare for combat!
At about half past ten in the morning, the two regiments of the defeated 29th Army used as bait to pass through the pass at the entrance of Huangcun Village, and then disappeared into Huangcun! The Japanese soldiers chasing behind shouted angrily. I'm about to pounce on yelling!
However, it was obvious that the commander of this group of Japanese troops had common sense in battle, and at this moment stopped the restlessness of his soldiers and changed to stand by in place.
Kazuki Kiyoji in the back received the request from the vanguard in front, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, so he asked the troops to stand by. At this time, the commander of the unit who was responsible for cleaning the battlefield of the two regiments of the 29th Army came to report, "A total of more than 760 corpses of soldiers have been cleared out in the trenches of the 29th Army on the ground!" The armament is approximately equivalent to the amount of equipment of two battalions of the Chinese troops! And a large number of cat ear holes were found in the trenches of the Shina position! ”
Kazuki Kiyoji's heart sank, "That's it, plus the defeated Shina soldiers." The number of this force is only the strength of two regiments! So where did the rest of the troops go? Could it be that the two regiments of the Zhina troops were just decoys? ”
As soon as he thought of this, a cold sweat broke out in Kazuki Kiyoji's heart. Immediately ordered the troops to send the vanguard troops into the village to investigate, and the artillery troops and chariot troops set up a formation, as long as there was any movement, immediately bombarded Huangcun with artillery fire!
Just as the order of Kiyoji Kazuki was issued. Before his artillery unit and chariot unit could deploy, a series of gunfire immediately rang out at the Huangcun Pass in front of him!
This is the 162nd Division's Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun fired! The machine guns at each point of fire act like fiery snakes, constantly devouring the chain. Spit out warheads one after another! Shoot straight at the Japanese troops on the other side!
As one of the main combat units of the 54th Group Army, the 162nd Division is equipped with a very large number of advanced weapons! Just such high-level dual-purpose machine guns, there are more than 200 of them! Eighty of them were loaded on top of the truck, and the rest were erected for fixed machine gun emplacements! It can be air defense when the plane comes, and on the ground battlefield, it can output firepower from a long distance!
There were a hundred machine guns constantly spitting tongues of fire, forming a defensive line about a kilometer long, extending from both sides of the village entrance pass to both sides!
The topography of Huangcun is very exquisite. It is like the existence of the gourd mouth, the surrounding mountains and forests form the belly of the gourd, and only the pass about 300 meters long at the entrance of Huangcun is the exit of the gourd. Now the troops of the first echelon of the Japanese army of more than 10,000 people are in the belly of this gourd! At the moment, all the units of the Japanese army are gathered. It is difficult to spread the formation at the same time. For the sudden fire attack of the 162nd Division, the Japanese army had only two options, the first. Withdraw the way you came from! However, in this case, the Japanese army is too dense at the moment, and it will inevitably be delayed for a long time when retreating, and of course it will cause great casualties! And the only way left is to open the defense on the spot, try to break through the defense line of Huangcun, and break through from the mouth of the gourd!
As a lieutenant general commander, Kiyoshi Kazuki has relatively rich combat experience, and at this moment, at the suggestion of the General Staff, he ordered the troops to defend on the spot and seek an opportunity to attack the Huangcun Pass! The intention is to open the pass defense and break through the fire circle of the 162nd Division!
Seiji Kazuki commanded the chariot troops to slowly unfold their formation, forming a temporary defensive line to form a defensive wall for the infantry in the rear. In addition, the artillery units were ordered to form a formation and form a fire strike on the defense line of the 162nd Division in front!
I have to say that Kazuki Kiyoji's order is very correct and timely! If you encounter other units that lack artillery in China, as long as you can use the machine gun barrage such as chariot pillars, and wait until the artillery formation is unfolded, then this battlefield will completely become a performance field for the Japanese army! The initiative on the battlefield will also be firmly grasped by the Japanese army!
"Damn the Shina people! Even if you are scheming, but for the Great Imperial Japanese Army with chariot troops and artillery units, with your three or two earthen cannons and a few broken guns, you can only shake the tree, and you can't do it! Kiyoji Kazuki said confidently.
"Boom!" A dull voice came! Kazuki Kiyoji was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed his face!
It's the sound of heavy artillery firing shells! Listening to this sound, it is at least a shell fired by a heavy artillery of about 100 millimeters to have such a dull sound!
And it is not that there are no 105 mm caliber heavy artillery in his own troops, but those heavy artillery are all placed in the second echelon by Seiji Kazuki because of their heavy weight and slow moving speed! He led the first echelon of the pursuit of the remnants of the 29th Army, and immediately equipped all the mountain artillery and field artillery of 75 mm caliber!
But at this moment the sound of 105 mm caliber guns was heard! "So, the Chinese troops on the opposite side actually have heavy artillery? But the 29th Army obviously has no heavy artillery! Could it be that the 29th Army and the 54th Army have united? Kiyoji Kazuki was thinking about this in his heart. But before he could draw conclusions, the shell of that heavy artillery hit the ground and exploded not far in front of the position!
Seeing that the drop point was only less than two hundred meters away from their position, Kazuki Kiyoji's heart sank! "Damn the Shina people! Lie down! All lie down! The enemy has heavy artillery! The enemy on the opposite side is the 54th Army! Seiji Kazuki shouted loudly in anger!
