Chapter 196: The Embarrassment of Zhengsan by the River!

On the afternoon of July 28, 1937. This moment, which is destined to change history, has been recorded in detail by people from all walks of life. After the July 7 Incident, the declining trend of our Chinese army was defeated and retreated, and the first phased victory was achieved for our country's anti-Japanese war team! Thus smashing the Japanese army's strategic intention of trying to capture our Beiping City and Lugou Bridge, so as to open the passage to the south and continue the southward invasion!

This time, the Japanese army gathered more than 15,000 troops, a mixed infantry brigade and a half, and was assisted by aircraft and artillery. However, under the two volleys of the heavy artillery regiment, the Japanese army was like ants in a panicked hot pot, looking everywhere for where the heavy artillery came from, and shouting for help everywhere. However, after their planes took off to reconnoitre, the vitality of the heavy artillery regiment did subside. However, the Japanese army did not find that the 29th Army stationed there still had so much heavy artillery firepower in the previous intelligence reconnaissance, and before a thorough investigation was carried out, the Japanese army naturally immediately gathered its troops, strictly defended it, and did not dare to move.

The guards led by Yan Xiaoliu are all carefully selected from the whole army and have undergone special training, which can basically be said to be elite soldiers. Moreover, the weapons and equipment are also the best of individual equipment. All 81 bar automatic rifles, tactical vests, grenades, camouflage uniforms, camouflage steel helmets, 20-round box guns. In addition, each platoon will be equipped with a bazooka launcher. Such a firepower configuration is enough for Yan Xiaoliu's guard regiment to reach the firepower of a division or even an army of other domestic troops!

The only shortcoming is the relative weakness of the staff. Although the 54th Group Army is newly reorganized and fully organized, it has more than 3,000 people, which is much larger than the regimental strength of more than 1,000 people in other domestic units. But because there are no effective anti-aircraft weapons, Yan Xiaoliu's guard regiment can only be regarded as the elite on land at best. In the face of the blows of aircraft from the sky and long-range artillery from the ground. It's also powerless.

This mission can be said to be deep behind enemy lines. It was the first time for Yan Xiaoliu to carry out such a combat mission, and he couldn't help but be careless. The troops were led along the mountain trail by a local guide. More than 3,000 camouflage warriors disappeared into the mountains and forests in a blink of an eye like a green whirlwind. From a distance. I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Only in the sky can you see that it is a long green dragon walking through it. However, Yan Xiaoliu had already anticipated the danger from the sky, and set up many observation posts along the way, as long as they heard the sound of airplanes, the troops would immediately hide on the spot. From above, the green camouflage dragon is just like the original appearance of the mountains, and it is difficult to find the target.

"Radio soldiers! Send a report to Commander Tong Linge, our army has arrived at the predetermined position, please send troops to contain it head-on! "It took two hours for the troops to slowly lurk from the mountains to the vicinity of the Japanese front base camp. These more than 3,000 people are too many to be careful. If it is discovered by the Japanese army on the way. I am afraid that not only will it not be able to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, but it will be besieged by the Japanese army until it is destroyed.

"Tuanza! Commander Tong called back: Our army has attacked head-on! I hope your army will be victorious! The radio soldier came to report.

"Send the situation here again to my military headquarters as a report!" Yan Xiaoliu thought about it, this mission is not only to cooperate with the 37th Division of the 29th Army, but also a combat deployment launched by Tian Zheng, the military seat, and it is necessary to report the situation to the military department in time to facilitate the military seat to make decisions.

The Japanese officers and men who were resting in the Japanese camp were suddenly surprised to find that the troops of the 37th Division on the opposite position, which had been beaten by them a moment ago, had all rushed out of the trenches at this moment, screaming and rushing towards their camp! This made the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoji, feel very incredible.

"Do they think they can turn defeat into victory with just those heavy artillery? Don't they know that our warplanes have taken off? Looking for their heavy artillery positions? Kiyoji Kazuki muttered in his heart.

"Your Excellency, General! The soldiers on the opposite side were like crazy, frantically rushing towards our army's position! There are two or three thousand troops! Your Excellency the General, please give the order, should our army send troops to meet the enemy, or will we stand by and wait for reinforcements? Major General Shozo Kawabe, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Huaxia Zhutun Army, asked the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoji, for instructions.

"Ridiculous Shina man! Think a few heavy guns will turn the tide of battle? Riverside-kun! I, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, are not shrunken turtles! We are heroes on the battlefield! Command troops. Attack the enemy! Lieutenant General Kiyoji Kazuki said loudly.

"Hey!" Kawabe Shozo turned around and went out to set up the battle.

As the brigade commander of the infantry brigade, Kawabe Shozo is naturally reluctant to let his troops go to the opposite side of the Shina soldiers in close combat! Rather, they want to make the most of their weaponry. At this moment, the distance between the two armies is too close, and it is too late for the fighters to take off! The only way to do this is to collect all the artillery of the troops. in order to stop the charge of the soldiers on the opposite side!

Just now, under the two salvos of the heavy artillery regiment of the 54th Army, the artillery positions under the command of Shozo Riverside were basically completely destroyed. All you can collect now is 70 infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers and other weapons with a lower range and less powerful range! But that's enough! The Japanese infantry brigades were equipped with a large number of infantry guns. Coupled with the artillery runs and grenadiers that are basically configured by each squad, the concentrated vitality is strong enough!

Shozo Riverside roared and ordered the troops to immediately concentrate these weapons and temporarily form an artillery position! The combat literacy of the Japanese troops is indeed very high. Such a relatively large operation to assemble weapons was completed in less than ten minutes. All sorts of gunners are ready, and the shells are all being prepared for reloading! And the Chinese army charging on the opposite side was still hundreds of meters away! Just in line with the range of fire strikes! This made Kawabe Shozo's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited!

"Are you all ready for bazookas?" At the foot of the hillside hundreds of meters away from the Japanese position, Yan Xiaoliu lay in the improvised bunker he was looking for, and whispered to a row of soldiers beside him who were holding bazooka launchers.

"Ready!" One by one, the voices of muffled answers came.

Yan Xiaoliu nodded with satisfaction, and also held up a loaded bazooka launcher in his hand, "Aim at the Japanese artillery position, mainly hit the ammunition box!" Fire! ”

With Yan Xiaoliu's order, a row of rockets spewed flames and flew towards the Japanese artillery position! A moment later, Kawabe Shozo saw the flaming cannonball flying towards him! was so frightened that Zhengsan by the river didn't have time to make a warning, so he hurriedly hid in the bunker pit that had already been dug next to him!

But the Japanese gunners and one-handed men who were waiting for Kawabe Shozo's order did not notice it in the slightest! It's just that I haven't heard the order of the river side to run for a long time, and it's all a little strange! But before they could see what was going on, they were blown away by the explosion of the rocket and the air wave caused by the detonation of the ammo box around them!

Due to the huge amount of these munitions, this explosion cleaned up all the Japanese infantry guns, mortars and grenadiers on all the artillery positions! At the same time, it also harvested the lives of one or two hundred Japanese gunners and one-handed armor on the artillery position! Only when the river was three times early, he hid in the bunker pit to escape the catastrophe! But he was also shocked by the air waves and shock waves of the explosion, and his body was even more embarrassed by all kinds of stumps, broken arms, weapon parts, and ten pieces of earth!

The sudden change here surprised the Japanese troops, but before they could turn around and deal with Yan Xiaoliu's troops, the officers and soldiers of the 37th Division on the opposite side had already charged to the front, and all kinds of guns and grenades were fired together, and under the cover of the barrage, the officers and soldiers of the 37th Division moved forward bravely! Yan Xiaoliu led the troops to attack at the same time, Yan Xiaoliu's guard regiment was fierce, and the vitality of each automatic rifle was equivalent to half a machine gun, not only with a long range and great power, but also with a fast rate of fire! At this time, the Japanese troops were attacked on two sides, but on the other side were dense forests on the slopes, so they had to retreat to the rear of the position! (To be continued......)
