Chapter 574: Nanyang Resistance Battle

"Guerrilla give! (All-Army Attack)"

"Guerrilla gives!"

……

In front of Nanyang City, the main force of the Japanese army under Lunma launched a large-scale attack on the whole army, in a vain attempt to break through the position of Nanyang City, which was defended by the 16th Town of the Chinese Imperial Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Nanyang City was already under the control of the Chinese Imperial Army, Lunma's judgment was also very correct, he judged that even if the 16th Town of the Chinese Imperial Army was transferred from Zao Mountain to Nanyang, it would not be possible to have all the troops, at most it would be a small force with light armor, and the size could not exceed the strength of a regiment.

Lunma judged correctly, in Nanyang City opposite him, there was only one regiment of the 16th Town of the Chinese Imperial Army, and the guard reconnaissance company directly under the 16th Town Division, with only more than 5,000 troops.

It turned out that two hours earlier, His Royal Highness King Shinwang, commander of the Commander of the Dispatch Army Headquarters of the Chinese Empire's Eastern Expedition, had sent a reconnaissance plane to the airspace of Zao Mountain, and sent a message to Li Yuanhong, the commander of the 16th Town Division, informing him that reinforcements would arrive soon, and asking Li Yuanhong to lead the officers and soldiers of the 16 Towns to actively cooperate with the anti-encirclement of the Japanese Lunma Legion, and strive to completely annihilate the 150,000 Japanese troops at the foot of Zao Mountain.

At that time, the troops in Li Yuanhong's hands were too scattered, because there were too many places to defend on Zao Mountain, and the Japanese army set fire to the mountain, so the soldiers of the 16 towns had to disperse and dig tunnels on the spot to avoid the mountain fire. The communication lines were blown off by Japanese artillery fire, and the departments basically lost contact.

In this case, Li Yuanhong could only use the fastest speed to gather the division headquarters guard company around him, and when he went to the north side of Zao Mountain, he met the commander of the 72nd Regiment who was responsible for the defense of the north, and the 72nd Regiment was relatively complete, so he was directly taken to Nanyang by Li Yuanhong.

The 72nd Regiment suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese army in Nanyang, and the Japanese army in Nanyang did not expect the Chinese Imperial Army on Zao Mountain to counterattack, so it was caught off guard and was defeated by the 72nd Regiment, and Nanyang City fell into the hands of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Li Yuanhong personally sat in Nanyang, and while ordering people to inform all the departments of the 16 towns on Zao Mountain to quickly come to Nanyang to make peace, he also stepped up the construction of Nanyang's defensive position and prepared to block the all-out attack of the Japanese army.

Nanyang is the only way for the Japanese army to safely withdraw from Zao Mountain, and the Japanese army does not want to be completely annihilated by the Chinese Imperial Army, so they will attack Nanyang frantically.

This will be an unprecedentedly tragic fierce battle, Li Yuanhong was mentally prepared, but he was besieged on Zao Mountain for several days, during which the weapons carried by the officers and soldiers of the 16 towns were seriously damaged, and ammunition was even more scarce, and it would be very difficult to face the frantic attack of the Japanese army.

Fortunately, the Chinese Imperial Army soon discovered the supply depot of the Japanese army in the occupied Nanyang City, where a large number of weapons and ammunition were taken away by the Japanese Lunma Regiment when they planned to evacuate, and a considerable part of them were weapons and equipment and ammunition that the Chinese Empire aided to the Nengjiu government army, so Li Yuanhong was relieved of his urgent need.

The old bloody heavy machine gun was brought back to the city, this is an old friend of the Chinese Imperial Army, which has helped the Chinese Empire win the final victory in many large-scale wars, and the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Empire have a strong affection for this weapon.

Although the Bloody Heavy Machine Gun has been eliminated in the active forces of the Chinese Empire, many soldiers of the Imperial Chinese Army have used this weapon, so it is easy to get started after getting the Bloody Heavy Machine Gun.

"Damn, with so many weapons and ammunition for the Japanese army, these white-eyed wolves turned their guns against us! Today, these weapons are returned to their original owners, and we will let the Japanese army see what will happen to us if they betray us! ”

"Brothers, give me a hard beating!"

"The bullets are there, let me go!"

……

Li Yuanhong stood on the drum tower and cheered up the officers and soldiers on the positions at the head of the city and under the city.

In the past few days, the officers and soldiers of the 16th Town have been saving ammunition because of the lack of ammunition, and they have been very unhappy to be suppressed by the Japanese artillery fire.

As a result, the officers and men of the 72nd Regiment cheered up and pulled the trigger one after another.

Da-da-da-da!

Da-da-da-da!

The bloody heavy machine gun opened fire in anger, and in the tongue of fire, countless bullets were fired at the Japanese enemy on the opposite side.

In front of the main gate, more than 20 bloody heavy machine guns blocked the open field several hundred meters wide in front, and within a distance of 200 meters in depth, the Japanese troops could only crawl forward, and if they raised their heads slightly, they would be hit in the head by 12.7 mm caliber heavy machine gun bullets.

A group of Japanese soldiers found a pile of abandoned concrete and tried to use it as cover to approach the city wall, but they had just climbed there, thinking that they could avoid heavy machine gun fire, only to see that the Chinese Imperial Army at the head of the city quickly mobilized five bloody heavy machine guns to aim at the concrete ruins.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

The 12.7mm bullet slammed into the concrete, blasting up patches of white smoke.

The Japanese troops behind were nervous at first, but then they relaxed and decided that they were safe, so they set up crane guns in reverse and fired at the Chinese Imperial Army at the head of the city.

The Japanese finally had a heavy machine gun counterattack fire point, which was not good news for the Chinese Imperial Army at the head of the city.

Li Yuanhong, who was watching the battle from the drum tower, immediately noticed the Japanese army behind the concrete ruins, and he immediately called the guard company directly under the division headquarters.

"Send two snipers to take out the Japanese heavy machine guns over there!"

"Yes!"

The two snipers quickly took position, but they found it difficult for ordinary sniper rifle bullets to hit the Japanese heavy machine gunners behind the concrete.

It is obvious that the Japanese heavy machine gunners have a very strong sense of self-protection and hide in the blind spot of sniper shooting.

"With an anti-tank sniper rifle! Cut in from three o'clock and you should be able to take out the opposing heavy machine gunner! ”

The secondary shooter said to the main shooter.

The main shooter nodded in agreement and quickly replaced the sniper rifle in his hand with an anti-tank sniper rifle.

This is a 20 mm caliber anti-tank sniper rifle, which is a weapon developed by the Imperial Chinese Army against the latest tanks of Britain, France, Germany and other countries in the European theater, but it is basically not used on the battlefield in Japan, because the Japanese army does not have such equipment as tanks at all.

However, the Sixteen Towns were still equipped with several of these anti-tank sniper rifles, which were not used to fight tanks, but were specially designed to fight Japanese machine gun bunkers.

This is because it is difficult for ordinary rifle bullets, heavy machine gun bullets and even sniper rifle bullets to penetrate the concrete fortress walls of the Japanese army, while the anti-tank rifle of 20 mm caliber is difficult to penetrate the thick concrete wall with one shot, but it has a characteristic, that is, as long as the sniper has been aiming at a place and shooting continuously, using the armor-piercing blasting power of the anti-tank rifle bullet, each shot can blow up a hole, and after five or six consecutive shots are fired at the same position, the general concrete wall will be penetrated.

The Japanese heavy machine gunner, who was shooting at the head of Nanyang Castle, suddenly sensed something and asked his companion next to him.

"Hey, do you hear anything? I feel like something isn't quite right with this concrete wall! ”

"There's nothing wrong with that! This is the battlefield, and it is normal for bullets to hit the concrete wall to produce impact vibrations, and to drop mud and plaster! Don't be distracted, concentrate your fire on the 12 o'clock direction, there are two heavy machine guns there, slaughtering our comrade, hurry up and take him out! ”

The Japanese machine gunner nodded, dispelling his doubts, and was about to aim at 12 o'clock when there was a sudden explosion, and a bowl-sized hole was pierced through the concrete wall on the side of his face.

The Japanese machine gunner was injured in the face and was immediately shocked, and several friends around him were also stunned for a moment, and looked at the hole in unison.

A Japanese soldier approached curiously, wanting to see what force could penetrate such a thick concrete wall.

Just as he put his head close to the hole, a gunshot rang out, and a 20 mm anti-tank sniper bullet entered the hole.

With a bang, the curious Japanese soldier's head exploded in an instant, and brains and blood sprayed all over the faces of the other Japanese soldiers around him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before the other Japanese soldiers could react, one after another anti-tank bullets hit them, and the 20-millimeter caliber bullets, which were equivalent to small shells, were killed instantly, and those who were wiped were seriously injured, and five or six bullets exploded one after another, killing all seven or eight Japanese soldiers hiding in the concrete ruins.

This was only a small microcosm of the battle, and in an area of two or three square kilometers around Nanyang City, the Japanese army tried to approach the city gate in various ways, but unfortunately failed.

The defenders of the Chinese Empire blocked all the passages of the Japanese advance with their bloody heavy machine guns, and the Japanese tried to get close by various means, even if they were hidden, but they were quickly discovered by the snipers of the Chinese Imperial Army, and shot them with precision, sabotaging the Japanese attempts.

Lunma, who was watching the battle from the rear, was so angry that he kept spurting blood, and every time he saw the tragic scene of the attacking Japanese troops falling one by one and bleeding like a river, he had to beat his chest and scream.

"Bastard! Artillery! Artillery! How come it hasn't arrived yet! ”

"Your Excellency, the artillery is on its way!"

"Tell them to hurry! Don't we know that we don't have time? ”

Lunma roared, due to the Japanese scrambled to evacuate Mt. Zao during the retreat, resulting in the heavy artillery unit being squeezed at the rear, congested all the way, and did not reach Nanyang until now.

Boom!

Boom!

At this moment, the explosion of artillery shells sounded outside, and the Japanese attacking troops that had been strafed by the heavy machine guns of the Chinese Imperial Army had already suffered heavy casualties.

"Bastard! What's going on? Where did the cannon come from? ”

Lunma asked angrily.

"Report to the general, it's the shelling of the Chinese Imperial Army! Shot from the head of Nanyang City, it should be their mortar! ”

Mortar?

Lunma instantly realized that only a light artillery such as a mortar could be carried quickly. The Chinese Imperial Army has not been used before, which has created the illusion that the Chinese Imperial Army has no artillery and heavy weapons, and now it seems that the Chinese Imperial Army did not use mortars before, but wanted to wait for the Japanese army to fire artillery when it attacked on a large scale, so as to cause casualties to the Japanese army to the greatest extent.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the heavy casualties of the Japanese army, Lunma was so angry that he grabbed his hair and wanted to grab it all.

Without heavy weapons, the Japanese army's attempt to attack Nanyang City is tantamount to a fool's dream, and even if it pays a heavy price for casualties, it is impossible to succeed.

After all, there were more than 5,000 Chinese Imperial troops in Nanyang City, and the Japanese army was supplied with weapons and ammunition left in Nanyang City, which was difficult to break for a while.

"Report, Your Excellency General, the offensive of the Chinese Imperial Army in the direction of Mizuki is very fierce, and Kajimoto's division can no longer withstand it, so I request a retreat!"

"Bastard! Tell Kajimoto that if he dares to retreat, I'll shoot him with one shot! ”

"Hayi!"

Before returning to the map, Lunma had lost her previous high-spirited mood.

Once Mi Fen was lost, Lunma and his army were attacked by the enemy, with a strong city blocking the road in front and a pursuer attack, and the whole army was really going to be annihilated.

"Scout, immediately go find a path and see if you can bypass Nanyang!"

Lenma was forced to have no choice but to choose a small path to escape.

The Japanese were familiar with the surrounding terrain, so they quickly found a path that could bypass Nanyang, but unfortunately the road was too narrow to pass through heavy equipment, such as the Japanese artillery units.

At this time, Lunma couldn't care so much, and the artillery unit hadn't arrived yet, so it was better to simply abandon it than to wipe out the whole army together.

Li Yuanhong, who was on the drum tower, did not know the situation around Nanyang, so he also kept an eye on the movements of the Japanese army.

When the Japanese army planned to bypass Nanyang from the path, Li Yuanhong also received a notice and immediately sent troops to intercept it.

At the same time, on the front line of rice sauce, after Kajimoto received Lenma's order, he scolded his mother in the same anger.

In front of Kajimoto was the chariot regiment of the Chinese Imperial Army, and every impact of the high-speed maneuverable chariot would cause heavy casualties to Kajimoto's division.

The chariot was too fast, and it had simple bulletproof steel plates that could block ordinary Japanese bullets, and as the chariot approached the Japanese position, the Thunderbolt heavy machine gun on the chariot would shoot a large number of Japanese troops every time it strafed.

Kajimoto tried to bombard the tanks of the Imperial Chinese Army with artillery, but unfortunately to no avail.

"Concentrate your fire on their wheels!"

Kajimoto shouted, but the Japanese knew that attacking the wheels was the right way, but the wheels were so easy to fight? The answer is clearly no. Before you hit someone's wheel, their heavy machine gun bullets swept towards you, can you dodge? If you dodge, you won't have a chance to aim, and if you don't dodge, you'll be shot in the head.

Kajimoto's division has been entangled in this situation, constantly paying heavy casualties.

"General Kajimoto, look over there!"

Kajimoto looked back and suddenly saw that four T25 tanks appeared in the flank direction at some point.

At this time, four tanks suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and the cliff was like earth-shattering news for Kajimoto's division.

As soon as the four T25 tanks appeared on the battlefield, they were like steel monsters, crushing directly towards the Japanese defensive position. They were followed by the tanks and infantry of the Imperial Chinese Army, covering the flanks of the tanks.

Nima!

Kajimoto was momentarily dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
