Chapter 179: Shame on the Field United!
Goofy finally showed his trump card!
The appearance of the sniper team made the situation clear and clear.
The machine-gun fire of the army was completely suppressed in the inferior terrain. The members of the sniper team shot one after another, killing the others who tried to get the machine guns fired again.
And at this time, the assault team also began to launch an onslaught.
Gonosuke Yamamoto knows that his last moment is coming!
The Captain of the Field Wing had already sent him telegrams several times, telling him to hold on no matter what, and the Field Wing was trying every means to break through the targeting of the Shina people and rescue the Yamamoto squadron.
But Gonosuke Yamamoto knew it was too late.
The people on the opposite side completely suppressed themselves, their machine gunners and grenadiers were killed one after another, and the network of firepower that had been painstakingly organized was completely disrupted, and it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.
Yamamoto Unosuke was already determined to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire to the end, and the only thing that he couldn't figure out was why the team of the Shina people in front of him was completely different from the army of the Shina people he had encountered before.
If it's just combat bravery, then there's nothing to worry about, but the team on the opposite side is not just as simple as fighting bravery
They are well equipped, their offensive is fierce, and they are even equipped with snipers that other squadrons do not have.
If it was possible, Gonosuke Yamamoto really wanted to meet the commander named Goofy, but he knew and knew that maybe he would never have this opportunity again
The assault team of the 3rd Battalion had already rushed forward, Gao Fei put away his gun, slowly stood up from his hiding place, and slowly walked towards the position of the army.
Victory is already in sight, and soon the Yamamoto squadron will become another stroke in the history of the 3rd Battalion's exploits!
The brethren all rushed forward, their broadswords flashed, and the sinful lives of the army were left here forever. When they set out from the Celestial Script, how many of them would have thought that they would have this day?
The Japanese army on the position was gradually decreasing, and the rest continued to resist stubbornly, guarding the last small piece of position, and on this position was the last place of their squadron leader Yamamoto Gonosuke.
"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the Captain of the Field Wing has called again, asking us to continue to hold out for half an hour!"
"Half an hour?" Looking at the Chinese soldiers who were getting closer and closer, Gonosuke Yamamoto smiled bitterly: "Tell Your Excellency the Wing Commander that I can't hold on for even 20 minutes, but I will fulfill the responsibility of an emperor [***] person."
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness appeared in Yamamoto Gonosuke's eyes: "Please help me take care of my family, so that my son can continue to serve the empire when he grows up!" ”
When the telegraph operator uttered the last word, he suddenly screamed and fell headlong in a pool of blood
Gonosuke Yamamoto saw clearly that the dense Chinese had been killed, and he had no way out.
He wanted to die like a samurai, but the situation in front of him was too late. Goyuki Yamamoto sighed and slowly pulled out his pistol and stuffed it into his mouth
On February 5, 1938, Yamamoto Gonosuke, the squadron leader of the Yamamoto Infantry Squadron of the Field Wing of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, and the squadron led by him, were completely annihilated by the 3rd Battalion of the 26th Division of our Army on the front line of Maocun, and the squadron leader Yamamoto Gonosuke committed suicide!
When the news reached the headquarters of the 26th Division, Liu Yuqing still didn't believe it.
Now that we are fighting a passive defensive war, how can Gao Fei annihilate another squadron in the blink of an eye?
After repeatedly confirming that this news was true, Liu Yuqing and his chief of staff Cai Yushi looked at each other, and said for a long time: "Gao Fei, sooner or later he will be a general."
"My 26th Division has Gao Fei, fortunately, fortunately!" Cai Yushi praised repeatedly: "The big encirclement has begun, Gao Fei has made a good start!" It is said that the elite field wing of the army has been completely annihilated by a squadron, division, I think it is time to ask the headquarters for Gao Fei! ”
And when the news reached Tian Yexiao's ears, this murderous officer was stunned for a long time, and a tear actually flowed from his eyes.
Yamamoto Wunosuke is not only his most powerful subordinate, but also his friend, but now, he is buried in the Chinese battlefield, and the grief and indignation in his heart are beyond the comprehension of outsiders!
Goofy, it's that Goofy again!
Goofy and his 3rd Battalion brought shame to their wing again and again, even when the Chinese troops were in a completely "desperate situation"!
"Badagaru!" Takashi Tano's anger was finally completely ignited: "Attack, attack, attack with all your might!" Send a telegram to His Excellency the Brigade Commander, our unit has bitten the 26th Division of China to the death, and the 26th Division of China will be defeated! Please come closer to me as soon as possible, and get closer to me as soon as possible! ”
Tian Yexiao, who was wrapped in anger, did not lose his mind. He clearly saw that with the annihilation of Yamamoto's squadron, the 3rd Battalion of the 26th Division had already shown its morale and prestige, and under such circumstances, continuing to storm the position of the 3rd Battalion could only face more casualties.
Hitting the opponent's weak point first is a technique that Takashi Takano has always used.
Takashi Takano set his sights on the 152nd Regiment on the right flank.
In the previous battle, the 152nd Regiment suffered heavy casualties in order to cover the whole division, and even the regiment commander Zhang Rongfa had sacrificed his life for the country, and with the beginning of the Battle of Maocun, the 152nd Regiment was soon put into the frontal battlefield without any rest.
When Takashi Takashi set his sights on them, a vicious battle finally broke out
The army bombarded the main position of the 152nd Regiment with heavy artillery fire and aircraft. Positions were destroyed with heavy casualties. By noon, a squadron of the Japanese Army broke through the defensive line from the left flank of the main position and continued to attack in depth.
At this time, the 152nd Regiment took advantage of the attack to expose the flank of the army, and under the leadership of the 1st Battalion Commander Mu Kunqian, the whole line attacked, and after the light and heavy machine guns opened heavy fire, a charge horn blew, and the soldiers of the whole battalion jumped out of the trench to launch a charge, and attacked the enemy. Gu Bingcheng, the new commander of the 152nd Regiment, personally led the reserves and front-line soldiers to counterattack, and the two sides fought fiercely for an hour, finally repelling the enemy and re-overcoming the lost position.
In the more than two hours of attack, the 152nd Regiment suffered more than 280 officers and men below the commander of the 3rd Battalion. In addition to the dead bodies that were dragged away, the army also left more than 70 corpses on the battlefield, and 152 captured six light and heavy machine guns, 31 rifles, and 3 grenadiers. The five devils were slightly injured and did not escape, and were captured by Liu's 152nd regiment.
In the afternoon, the three planes of the Japanese army circled in the sky from time to time, and judging from the enemy's dynamics, the enemy was preparing to protrude from the west of the 152nd Regiment to attack.
This protrusion was directly opposite the position of the 152nd Regiment Special Service Company. Gu Bingcheng, the regiment commander in the command headquarters, picked up the phone, called the spy company, and called the company commander Zhou Weiming: "Brother Weiming, your company must be well hidden, the frontal enemy is less than 200, and you want to occupy my prominent position, and then cover its main attack and surround my flank!" You'll have to withdraw the front row of men, lure it to attack and get him closer to the mountain, and then strike at close range to make the enemy's aircraft and artillery stare dry! ”
In the end, Gu Bingcheng said earnestly: "Brother Weiming, this battle is not only a matter of whether our regiment can survive!" If this pass is broken through, our entire 26th Division will be finished! It is glorious for you and my brother to go out of Sichuan to resist, and it is worth it even if you are killed. Our Sichuan army is eating in a blood basin, and it will be even worse if we become slaves of the country! ”
"Eating in a blood basin" is a portrayal of the dilemma faced by some generals in the Sichuan army. It means that on the one hand, it is necessary to fight a war against the invading army in the name of the word, and on the other hand, it is necessary to deal with the danger from the side of "one's own people" and to always guard against disasters that endanger one's own security and interests, such as the incorporation, containment, disbandment, and dismantling of military law, which occur under various names.
It's not good, this danger is not much less than the pressure from the enemy's side. Of course, this kind of pressure is only on the generals, and it is the same in all the group armies of the Sichuan Army, like a shadow hanging over their heads at all times. But the soldiers and junior officers don't feel it deeply, whether they are in the Sichuan Army or the Central Army, they don't care too much, they only know one purpose: to fight the enemy! As a result, the scattered stragglers of the Sichuan Army were contained in the central army system.
Company commander Zhou Weiming, a native of Liangshan County, Yucheng, has also been observing the enemy's movements in the command post. After listening to the words of the regiment commander, he said loudly into the microphone: "Don't worry! I know what you're saying! I will definitely fight according to your plan, and I promise to defeat it. But probably, the enemy still has a second echelon to continue attacking! ”
"I have told the artillery liaison staff to ask them to suppress the enemy's artillery and to fire at the second echelon where the enemy may attack."
Sure enough, the enemy artillery quickly bombarded our position, and the planes also took off to bomb and strafe our position. The position was filled with earth and rocks, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, but the spy company was well concealed, and in this bombardment, only the three cooking soldiers who were lighting a fire and cooking were injured, and an iron pot that was originally good was blown to pieces
An outpost platoon, which had been at the forefront, also withdrew to its position on the hillside. In the artillery bombardment, more than 200 enemy soldiers began to attack, and under the cover of machine-gun fire, they attacked in a loose formation.
When the enemy climbed halfway up the mountain and was about to intensify his upward advance, there was a sudden "dang" sound in front of the devil, which was more thrilling than a bullet falling on the top of his head, and a barbed wire suddenly bounced up in front of the devil and stood straight in front of him!
With a shout, the front-line troops I had prepared for a long time came out above the devils, and grenades rained downward. The panicked soldier was blown up in the smoke from the grenade explosion, and the devil who was not killed didn't fire a single shot and crawled down and retreated!
