Chapter 661: The Battle of Anjiazhuang

When Li Lingfeng returned to Anjiazhuang, Wang Tongsheng, Wang Laohu, and Li Shanzhu had already opened their commands.

When it comes to field warfare, Li Shanzhu, commander of the 1st Battalion, is more proficient than Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Laohu. Therefore, the battle of Anjiazhuang was commanded by Li Shanzhu.

Li Shanzhu's deployment was very simple, he led the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Special Operations Squadron, and the 1st Sniper Squadron to concentrate all their efforts on eliminating the soldiers of the Devil's Heavy Artillery Unit, and then reinforce the town to fight; Wang Tongsheng and Wang Laohu commanded the 1st and 2nd Special Warfare Squadrons and the 2nd and 3rd Sniper Squadrons to operate covertly and use special tactics to eliminate the Japanese troops in the town.

The reason for this deployment was that Li Shanzhu's consideration was that the devil's heavy artillery unit might slip away at any time, and it needed to be resolved quickly. And the vast majority of these devils are bare-handed, and they can quickly resolve the battle. The devils in the town are the baggage soldiers and the guard troops and medical personnel of the field hospital, and the little devils must protect the baggage and the wounded, and will not run away easily, and can be solved one by one by using special tactics.

After assigning the task, Li Shanzhu led the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Special Operations Squadron, and the 1st Sniper Squadron to pounce on the little devil heavy artillery unit that had been in chaos through the tunnel. This time, Li Shanzhu did not use heavy firepower, but led the 1st Battalion and the 1st Special Operations Squadron to pounce with bright bayonets, and he did not want to shoot, for fear that the gunfire would alarm the main force of the 14th Division, which was struggling under the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army. There was a sniper squadron sweeping the formation, and Li Shanzhu believed that the battle would end soon.

When Li Shanzhu pounced, the guard troops of the little devil's heavy artillery position had just crossed Anjiazhuang and went to chase the heavy artillery convoy. Although His Excellency the division commander did not order the recovery of the heavy artillery convoy, the squadron leader of the little devil guard unit knew that the heavy artillery convoy was held hostage by the Eighth Route Army and escaped, and he could not get out of it. In any case, the convoy must be chased back, otherwise he will have to go to court-martial when the battle is over. Unless he apologizes for his sins

The two acting captains were taken hostage by the Eighth Route Army with the heavy artillery convoy, and the guards went to pursue the Eighth Route Army, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the heavy artillery unit had no choice but to carry out the orders of His Excellency the division commander and prepare to retreat south.

At this time, Li Shanzhu led the first battalion to pounce. The bayonet went straight in and out, and there was a fluttering sound in the ears, and the little devil who was suddenly hit was stunned at once.

Fortunately, this is a battlefield where you are living and dying, and the little devil quickly reacted. This group of little devils can be regarded as a kind, and they are all at this time, and they are still thinking about fighting with the Eighth Route Army. Those who had guns immediately withdrew their bullets and pounced on the Eighth Route Army. Those who didn't grab it also automatically lined up, stood behind the stabbing comrades, and prepared to take over the rifles when the comrades fell.

Li Shanzhu was overjoyed when he saw it, this group of little devils, who were so nurtured by the spirit of bushido that their heads were kicked by a donkey, and they didn't look at how many guns they had in total, so they dared to play a stabbing game with the Eighth Route Army, and Lao Tzu fulfilled you

Li Shanzhu roared, a stab poked the short and sturdy little devil in front of him, kicked his right foot, took out the rifle, took the right foot as the axis, quickly turned around, and slammed the butt of the gun backwards, knocking the little devil who sneaked up from behind.

Li Shanzhu simply asked a few soldiers to light up the battlefield and facilitate the two armies to fight.

Li Shanzhu is so powerful, which soldier in the first battalion is easy to mess with? The gunners and machine gunners of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies, including the fire support company, all threw their rifles into the stab. The soldiers surrounded the little devils, killing in and out, the white knives went in and the red knives came out, and they shouted in their mouths.

Zhao Zhiyu, the leader of the third squadron of special warfare, is even more unambiguous, he is a master, the flying knife stunt is perfect, the knife does not leave the throat and heart of the little devil, ten flying knives shot, ten little devils fall, that posture is like a performance on the stage.

The special combat team members led by Zhao Zhiyu are even more powerful, they have seen more formations, they are too lazy to talk to the little devils, and the Eighth Route Army is not short of bullets, and a quick victory is the best choice. Therefore, while the 1st Sniper Squadron was shooting, the fighters of the 3rd Special Operations Squadron stopped fighting bayonets, took out their pistols with silencers, and opened them with a thud.

The little devil finally discovered that this group of Eighth Route Army was simply a god-killer, and the stabbing action was crisp and neat, which was more powerful than the stabbing technique that the imperial army was proud of. What made the little devil even more frightened was that he didn't know what demon magic the Eighth Route Army had used, and the comrades-in-arms around him kept falling, basically a bloody hole in his forehead, and the blood flowed silently. Later, as soon as the Third Special Operations Squadron made a move, the little devil understood that the Eighth Route Army was using the legendary rifle and pistol with a silencer.

At the beginning, the little devil found that there were few soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and there were many of them, and when he saw that the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to fight for the stab, he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that with the advantage of numbers, physical strength and stabbing technology, the Eighth Route Army could be defeated. At this time, the little devils who were fighting and the little devils who were waiting to fight were empty-hearted. You must know that the Eighth Route Army does not pay attention to rules at all, and it is not a one-on-one fight, but a rush up, stabbing people when they see them. The little devil is an artilleryman, basically all gunners, observers and ammunition men, there are few rifles, and there are many people, but in fact, they have suffered a big loss. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late. The remaining little devils were not honest and began to flee.

If you want to escape, you have to ask the guns and bayonets in the hands of the Eighth Route Army if you agree

In the end, Li Shanzhu couldn't care so much, so he simply ordered the soldiers of the first battalion to open fire and kill all the devils.

This battle is actually bullying devils, teaching the first battalion plus the third squadron of special operations and the first squadron of snipers, with a number of more than 1,000 people. The two artillery brigades of the little devil plus the baggage soldiers who carried the shells, originally there were nearly 3,000 people, but some of them were killed along the way, and with the convoy two or three hundred people, the rest was about two thousand four hundred. The two sides are basically in a one-to-two ratio. However, the 1,000 people of the Eighth Route Army are the elite of the whole army, with the Bayi automatic rifle in their hands, the pistol on their backs, and the dagger in their leggings, but the little devils only have a few hundred 38 big covers, and their weapons and equipment are not proportional to their combat effectiveness. It was actually a one-sided white-knuckle massacre.

After solving the devil's heavy artillery troops, Li Shanzhu led the troops to quickly return to Anjiazhuang and began to cooperate with Wang Tongsheng and Wang Laohu to clean up the little devils in the town.

This baggage wing is different from the artillery in that it is equipped with weapons according to the standards of combat units, and its combat effectiveness is still very strong. The baggage unit of the 11th Fifth Division of the Eighth Route Army.

At the beginning, the devils of the baggage wing and the field hospital did not notice anything abnormal and were deploying and retreating. It wasn't until the first battalion of the sect made a move outside the town that the little devil found that the Eighth Route Army had arrived. It's a pity that the Eighth Route Army, which attacked them, was not an ordinary force, but a special force, and it was quietly working to kill devils. Soon, the captain of the 14th Wing of the Little Devil's Heavy Army, Ishihara Shosansa, found that the situation was very serious, and there was a bloody atmosphere in the town.

Wang Laohu seems to have been born to fight devils, that guy looks like Dian Wei in the Three Kingdoms, and his shots are even more ruthless. After he and Wang Tongsheng led the No. 1 Squadron, No. 2 Squadron, No. 2 Sniper Squadron, and No. 3 Squadron to start the operation, they first cleaned up the devils in the courtyard, and then attacked the devils deployed in the town.

After getting out of a stove, Wang Laohu smiled at a glance, this courtyard is very large, it is a three-entry courtyard, the yard is full of stretchers, it seems to be a field hospital of the Japanese army. The ghost military doctor seemed to be still operating, and several nurses were coming in and out of the main room, constantly taking things.

Liu Yimin once said that the medical staff of the devil tried their best to capture them alive, and they could be used by me after passing education.

Wang Laohu remembered Liu Yimin's words very clearly, this time, he endured not to kill the military doctors and nurses of the devils, but rushed over and knocked them unconscious with heavy techniques, and asked the soldiers to tie them up. As for the wounded soldiers of the devils, I'm sorry, the division commander didn't say that he wanted to capture them alive, and they didn't shout for me to surrender, Wang Laohu was not welcome, either with one punch or with one knife, the little devil who was lucky enough could also take a bullet, and the pain would end quickly.

Wang Laohu is this way of fighting, and the soldiers are even more unkind to the devil's wounded soldiers, and the bayonets and daggers go into battle together, and they are killed cleanly.

After solving the devils in the field hospital, Wang Laohu asked the soldiers to hide well, ran to the door and threw his hand is a shot, put down a little devil standing guard, and then shouted: "Little devil, your grandfather is here."

After shouting, I was afraid that the little devil wouldn't hear it, and then shouted again: "Little devil, Lao Tzu is here, there is a kind of to catch Lao Tzu." ”

Now it's okay, the little devil finally heard clearly, and Tubalu mixed into the field hospital. Without waiting for any more orders, the little devils of the 14th Wing of the Heavy Soldiers swarmed in, surrounded the field hospital, and started a fierce battle with the Eighth Route Army.

The commander of the 14th Wing of the Baggage Force, Shosan Ishihara, also came to the vicinity of the field hospital and commanded the troops to attack. However, Shozo Ishihara is an old devil, and he has participated in all the battles since the 14th Division participated in the war of aggression against China, and he has rich combat experience. He discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the shooting skills of the Tu Ba Lu are particularly clever, and the guns used are also equipped with silencers, which is clearly the Tu Ba Lu that attacked the grassroots officers and gunners of the Imperial Army all the way during the day today, and it is very likely that it is Liu Yimin's elite small unit mentioned in the report of the North China Front Army, that is, the sniper unit.

That's the difference between an officer's and a soldier's. The soldiers of the heavy artillery unit faced the silent sniping of the Eighth Route Army, thinking that the Eighth Route Army was using the legendary gun with a silencer, and Ishihara Shosanzo immediately judged that he had encountered the sniper unit of the Eighth Route Army.

After identifying this problem, Ishihara Shosanzo knew that the field hospital was over, and he had no intention of fighting, you know, his task was to transport and protect heavy supplies, not to protect the field hospital. If he fights for a while and lets the dirt road intercept the baggage vehicle, it will be his responsibility.

Ishihara Shosanzo immediately made a decision and ordered a squadron to stay behind to monitor and attack the Eighth Route Army occupying the field hospital, and he himself was going to retreat south with the main force of the baggage wing.

Just when Ishihara Shosanzuo ordered the main force of the wing to retreat quietly, Li Shanzhu led the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Special Operations Squadron, and the 1st Sniper Squadron to rush back to the town. Shozo Ishihara was blocked

Just when the headquarters of the North China Front Army was in chaos and behaved at a loss, the Eighth Route Army had already launched a pursuit and annihilation battle in the areas south of Feizhong Mountain, north of the Wen River, and west of Tai'an.

With the death of Maeda Osamu and Morita Masaho, the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade lost their unified command, and the entire remnants of the army became a swarm of bees that had lost their queen bees.

How can a man outrun a tank, an armored car and a car? What's more, the little devil is so short, and his legs are very short.

In addition to the tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles of the armored regiment, the armored vehicles and automobiles of the 1st Brigade and the cars of the Logistics Command were turned into a cluster of motor vehicles, and the heavy machine guns, infantry guns, mortars, and grenadiers of the 3rd regiment of the 1st Brigade were all placed on the Motor Hill, so that the motor vehicle cluster became a firepower cluster. Then, all the cavalry battalions of the brigades were concentrated, all the horses were concentrated, and the troops of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments, which had not been cared, were allowed to ride as much as possible on horseback, so that the mobility of the assault group was greatly enhanced.

When the assault group was formed, Liu Yimin said very clearly to Gao Yuan and Li Qing, who were in charge of commanding the assault group: "Speed, speed." It is necessary to form a powerful shock wave with speed, destroy the will of the little devils to resist in one fell swoop, beat them into frightened routs and stragglers, and beat the elite permanent divisions into bandit units where our army passes, so that the Japanese army will be bleeding like a river"

70 tanks, nearly 100 armored vehicles, hundreds of cars, all of them were heavy machine guns on the front of the cars, not to mention those tank guns and infantry guns, mortars, and grenadiers placed on the cars. The close resistance of a small force of 100 men organized by Osamu Maeda and Masatori Morita before their deaths was a miracle, and it was achieved with the help of an abandoned trench. Under normal circumstances, any attempt by the Japanese army to resist would be crushed by the powerful armor superiority of the Eighth Route Army assault group, and destroyed by the firepower superiority of the Eighth Route Army without leaving a breath of life.

Where have the little devils seen this kind of formation, if they have seen this kind of formation, their infantry regulations will have to be revised again. If they had seen this kind of formation, they would not have dared to invade China. Of course, then again, if there is no good transport captain like a little devil, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army will have to fight for a few more years if he wants to have today's equipment and firepower.

At this time, the little devils of the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade were lucky enough to be alive and realized how stupid their commander and his commander were to expose them to the plains, to the lights of the Eighth Route Army, to the wheels, horses, guns, and blades of the Eighth Route Army in this dark night. If they were guarding the fortifications on the front line of Yanzhou and relying on the fortifications to cover, even if the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was still so strong, they could still think of dodging, and they could also use their accurate shooting skills to severely damage the attacking Eighth Route Army. If it is not good, you can also wait for the Eighth Route Army to rush up, pull the grenade and die with the Eighth Route Army, one life for another. It's too late to say anything now, the Eighth Route Army assault force is such a powerful armored force, the bullets hit it unscathed, and the artillery was completely destroyed, what can you do if you don't run?

The field artillery of the 35th Division had already been buried in the artillery fire during the first wave of attack, and the artillery that escaped by luck was naturally the vanguard of the early rout; The 219th Wing, which served as the rear of the palace, was drowned under the wheels and hooves of the Eighth Route Army assault group, and the division commander Masamu Maeda and Morita Masafumi, the commander of the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade, who were trying to gather the troops to block the attack, fell under the guns of the Eighth Route Army assault group, and the remaining 220 and 221 Wings, as well as the engineer wing, the baggage wing, the search wing, the communications team, the health team, and the field hospital all scrambled to flee westward.

The artillery group of the Eighth Route Army did not let them go, and the swarm of shells blew up the large Japanese army into small units one after another. In the icy night, patches of Japanese troops fell, blood flowed on the frozen ground, and soon began to solidify.

Among these deserters, the combat troops are a little better, and they can crawl to the ground to shoot a few shots and throw a grenade, as for the bulky weapons such as infantry guns, heavy machine guns, and grenadiers, they are too much of a hindrance, who will carry them on their backs and run?

The worst thing is that those special forces under the command of the 35th Division, such as baggage troops, signal troops, health soldiers, doctors and nurses, are rarely equipped with weapons and ammunition, and it is impossible to shoot and drop bombs. I couldn't run anymore, so I had to lie down and pretend to be dead or kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

The 13th Brigade was even worse than the 35th Division. They were taken as the vanguard by Osamu Maeda, and fought for a day with the remnants of the reorganized Manchurian Defense Army, gnawing on hard bones, and the puppet Manchurian Defense Army was exhausted, and they were no better, and they were beaten wildly by the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, and His Excellency the brigade commander went to the headquarters of the 35th Division again. As soon as the Eastern Group commanded by Lei Ming launched an attack on all fronts, these little devils ran faster, and their goal was very clear, which was to move closer to the 35th Division. The 35th Division was distracted, and they became the key objects of care of the Eighth Route Army's artillery group, and the crying father who was bombed by the shells called his mother, only hated his grandmother for having two legs, and insisted on catching up with the 35th Division's rout team, and once again sent himself under the wheel and under the gun of the Eighth Route Army assault group.

The motor vehicles and cavalry clusters of the Eighth Route Army Assault Group chased after them, chasing the remnants of the little devils like rabbits, and fled in all directions. By the time the motor vehicles and cavalry clusters of the Eighth Route Army's assault group had swept past the rout of the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, the main forces of the two armies had been basically wiped out. The rest of the routs who fled in all directions were handed over to the infantry of the Eighth Route Army who followed up to clean up.

The assault group, like a frenzy, rushed all the way to the Ningfei Highway and rushed towards the 14th Division.

After all, the 14th Division is a permanent division, and its combat experience is much richer than that of the 35th Division. During the Battle of Lanfeng, 100,000 ** besieged the 14th Division, which relied on villages and towns to build positions, relied on its own powerful artillery fire, and repelled the attack of the ** Eastern Henan Corps, and waited for reinforcements.

This time, the 14th Division was also besieged by the squadron, and in Guanjing Longchang thought that as long as he made the right determination and made a timely decision, the 14th Division could completely withdraw to Yanzhou.

After receiving the order from the North China Front Army Headquarters agreeing to retreat, Takamasa Sekii breathed a sigh of relief, and General Sugi Sugimoto was quite reasonable, adopted his opinion, and agreed to his retreat. You must know that the Japanese military law is strict, and if you retreat without an order, you will definitely be sent to a military court by the military police.

Guan Jing Longchang knew in his heart that this siege of the Eighth Route Army was very different from the siege of Xue Yue's Yudong Corps during the Battle of Lanfeng. If Xue Yue's Eastern Henan Corps had such powerful firepower as the Eighth Route Army instructor, the 14th Division would probably have ceased to exist a long time ago. Another difference is that during the Battle of Lanfeng, the 14th Division ran for a long distance, and it was up to them to decide whether they wanted to fight or leave, although Xue Yue's Yudong Corps also arranged a large encirclement and surrounded it on all sides, but the 14th Division relied on a solid position and did not move. This time, it fell into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, the entire army was exposed to the wilderness, and the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army attacked with rapid artillery fire, causing heavy casualties to the powerful 14th Division. This battle is difficult to fight

Thinking of this, Sekii Takamasa felt that Commander Shanshanyuan's order was also correct, after the troops withdrew across the Wen River, they should indeed build a position on the spot and hold on, and the road to Yanzhou was too far away, and it was easy for accidents to occur. As long as they can establish a position and hold out until dawn, the powerful aviation will repel the besieging Eighth Route Army. If the main forces of the northern and eastern fronts advance rapidly, it is entirely possible to turn defeat into victory and gather and annihilate the main forces of the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the Wen River.

It should be said that Sekii Takamasa's handling was correct, and his determination was also timely, but the problem was that the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army did not cooperate, and the shells were as if they did not need money, but they could fall down with all their might, blowing up the east and west parts of the 14 th Division that were trying to gather the troops and retreat, and there was a great tendency to collapse the army.

After all, it was dark night, and no matter how fierce the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was, it was impossible to wipe out all the 14th Division. The units of the 14th Division that received the order to retreat still gathered the remnants of the defeated generals, and in the rumbling sound of the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, the wounded, corpses, and burning vehicles were thrown down in the east and west, and the mourners were in a hurry.

When he ran to Anjiazhuang, Sekii Takasho was so surprised that his eyes were about to fall: on the position of the original heavy artillery unit north of Anjiazhuang, there were corpses, needless to say, these corpses were basically bare-handed from the 105 howitzer brigade and the 105 cannon brigade. The lingering bloody gas that wafted from Anjiazhuang Town made Sekii Takasho shudder. There is a baggage wing of the 14th Division in the town, as well as a field hospital, so it can't be that the streets and courtyards are full of corpses of imperial soldiers, right?

As if in response to Sekii Takamasa's conjecture, no, seeing the Japanese army returning to defense, a group of little devils ran out of the darkness, shouting "ghosts have ghosts" as they ran

This is really a miracle, under the joint attack of the special operations brigade, the sniper brigade, and the first battalion, there are still little devils who can survive.

In fact, this can also be understood, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the special detachment of the Eighth Route Army is, it is impossible to kill all the soldiers of the little devil's baggage wing and heavy artillery unit in this dark night. Because there was too late time, the big army of little devils was withdrawn, and it was impossible for the special detachment to carry out a detailed search, and there were always little devils who slipped through the net.

Sekii Takachang didn't know what method Liu Yimin used to ambush such a strange soldier in Anjiazhuang, not only stole the heavy artillery, but also killed all the soldiers of the heavy artillery unit outside the town, the baggage soldiers in the town, and the soldiers of the field hospital. You know, these are thousands of people, although these soldiers are not combat troops, but even if they are thousands of pigs, it will take a long time to kill, where can they be killed so cleanly, only a few people remain?

Standing behind a tank, Takamasa Sekii saw at a glance that it was Ishihara Shosansa, the commander of the 14th Wing of the Baggage Soldiers, who was running in front, and immediately asked the guards to pull him over.

Seeing that Ishihara Shosan was about to run to Sekii Takamasa's side under the grip of the two guards, a few bullets flew from somewhere, and hit the back of Ishihara Shozo and the two guards accurately, and the three little devils performed a mouth gnawing mud in front of Sekii Takamasa.

Sekii Takasho was furious and immediately ordered to set fire to Anjiazhuang and burn all the dirt to death.

It's lively now, the little devil wants to set fire to the town, where will the Eighth Route Army in the town agree. Without waiting for Li Lingfeng's order, the fighters of the Special Operations Brigade, the Sniper Brigade, and the 1st Battalion opened fire. Bullets came out of the roofs, windows, and shooting holes in the walls, and all the little devils who were busy throwing torches and gasoline into corpses lying on the ground.

If you want to put aside the Japanese army to take the initiative to attack that formation during the day today, the Eighth Route Army in Anjiazhuang is looking for death, and dares to sneak attack the powerful 14th Division with heavy artillery troops. No matter how good the special operations team is and how accurate the sniper team's marksmanship is, under the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army, it will have to retreat.

Now it is different, the field artillery wing of the 14th Division was destroyed by the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, the artillery of the two heavy artillery brigades was robbed by Li Lingfeng and them, and most of the tanks and wing artillery and brigade artillery of the little devils were also destroyed under the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Li Shanzhu were all trained by Liu Yimin, and they had a very profound understanding of what Liu Yimin often said about taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and knew that delaying the 14th Division for half an hour at this time was the greatest contribution to the campaign. They also know that their troops are the most capable troops in the whole of China, and good steel is used on the blade, so how long will it take to not beat the 14th Division at this time?

So, the special operations brigade fired, the sniper brigade fired, the 1st battalion fired, and even the heavy firepower of the fire support company of the 1st battalion was thrown into battle.

Sekii Takasho never dreamed that he just gave an order to burn An Jiazhuang, which actually led to the attack of the most elite troops of the Eighth Route Army.
