Chapter 863: Ambush by the Armored Regiment

Hougouyan and Weiyanjian are two highlands located not far from the north of Baijiazhuang Town, two on the east and west sides, five kilometers apart.

The main force of Yin Jinshan's Honor Fourth Regiment is currently assembled here, and their combat mission is to eat the independent garrison of the Japanese army in the shortest possible time.

AT THIS TIME, ON THE HEIGHTS OF WEIYUANJIAN, THE FOUR 105MM CANNONS AND FOUR 105MM FIELD GUNS OF THE HEAVY ARTILLERY BATTALION OF THE FOURTH REGIMENT OF HONOR HAVE BEEN ERECTED, AND THE LIEUTENANT COLONEL BATTALION COMMANDER CHEN HAOJIE IS MARKING THE SHOOTING OF ZHU YUAN.

IN ORDER TO ATTRACT THE JAPANESE INDEPENDENT GARRISON TO TAKE THE BAIT, ALL FOUR 100MM HOWITZERS OF THE HEAVY ARTILLERY BATTALION WERE DISCARDED, AND MOST OF THE SHELLS ALONG WITH THE 100MM HOWITZERS WERE ALSO LOST.

LOST FOUR100MM HOWITZERS,CHEN HAOJIE FELT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE,BUT THE ORDER GIVEN ABOVE,HE MUST CARRY IT OUT。

THIS ORDER WAS GIVEN BY SUN WEIGUO HIMSELF, AND SUN WEIGUO PLANNED TO USE FOUR 100MM HOWITZERS IN EXCHANGE FOR AN INDEPENDENT GARRISON OF THE JAPANESE ARMY.

"Commander, it's been a long time since the little devils, we still can't fight, if we don't, the little devils will run away."

After Chen Haojie marked the shooting of Zhu Yuan,He came to the regiment commander Yin Jinshan and asked。

The tank squadron and the 1st garrison brigade directly under the independent garrison of the Japanese army had passed through Hougou Rock, and this unit was rapidly moving towards the position of the 1st Division.

Sun Weiguo asked Yin Jinshan to be careful that the Japanese army was just a test and prematurely exposed the position of the Fourth Regiment of Honor, if all the little devils of the independent garrison were allowed to return to Baijiazhuang Town again, then the Fourth Regiment of Honor would have great difficulty if they wanted to eat this little devil.

Compared with the rest of the Japanese troops, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese independent garrison is weak, and the commander of their unit has just taken over the unit and does not know the unit very well.

It is not too difficult for an armored regiment of the Honor Third Regiment to eat the independent garrison of the Japanese army, of course, if you want to eat the independent garrison of the Japanese army cleanly, it is a test for the commander.

"Regiment commander, the little devil is here, there are more than 3,000 people, and more than a dozen artillery pieces!"

Chen Zhengwei, the deputy head of the Fourth Regiment of Honor, ran quickly in front of Yin Jinshan, and after he saluted Yin Jinshan, Chen Zhengwei immediately reported the situation.

"It seems that the main force of the little devils has arrived, Battalion Commander Chen, immediately fire flares, and then shell the Japanese army!" Yin Jinshan immediately began to give orders.

At this time, the main force of the Japanese independent garrison, three garrison brigades and one artillery brigade, had already begun to set out, the three infantry brigades formed a long snake formation to advance forward, and the artillery brigade moved with the command organ of the independent garrison.

Tahara Kuohai deliberately waited until the first garrison brigade and tank squadron advanced two kilometers before he commanded the troops to set off, and the vanguard did not encounter any resistance, which made Tahara Kuohai even more sure that his judgment was correct, he now felt that there were no Eighth Route Army troops nearby, so he let the troops form a long snake formation to advance.

At this time, Tahara Kuohai did not expect that he was stepping into the trap of the Honorary Fourth Regiment step by step, and he also wanted to quickly appear behind the main flank of the Honorary Second Division and cooperate with the First Division to attack the troops of the Honorary Second Division.

"Your Excellency General, I always feel that this is very likely to be a trap by Sun Weiguo, with my understanding of Sun Weiguo, even if he dispatches the main force to fight with the troops of the First Division, then in this area, he will at least leave a small number of troops to be responsible for guarding, and now there are no troops here, it is obviously abnormal, I suggest that the troops should wait until they meet with the 114th Division and take action."

On the marching road, Chiaki Hattori, chief of staff of the independent garrison, came to Tahara Kokai again, and he said in a solemn tone.

After the troops set off, Hattori Chiaki felt that this matter was very strange, and now he could basically determine that this was most likely a trap set by Sun Weiguo.

If Hattori Chiaki was in charge of commanding the independent garrison, he would definitely immediately stop the advance of the troops and immediately defend them.

But the commander of this unit is Tahara Kuokai, and Hattori Chiaki can only come to Tahara Kuokai again and say his advice.

"Hattori-kun, you're thinking too much, it's impossible for the Eighth Route Army to ......," Tahara Kokai replied lightly.

Before he could finish his sentence, flares began to be hit into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the dark night began to look like day.

THE DEVIL SOLDIERS REACTED QUICKLY, AND THEY IMMEDIATELY LAY ON THE GROUND, BUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER, EIGHT 105MM HOWITZERS OF THE ARMORED ARTILLERY BATTALION OF THE FOURTH REGIMENT OF HONOR, FOUR 105MM CANNONS OF THE HEAVY ARTILLERY BATTALION, AND FOUR 105MM FIELD GUNS BEGAN TO SHELL.

The shells quickly broke away from the chamber, and the shells were in the air like a large fireball moving quickly.

The shells were fired at the target accurately, and when the shells began to fall on the ground, a loud explosion rang out.

The devil soldiers lying on the ground naturally couldn't dodge the shell attack, and after the shells began to explode, many devil soldiers were affected.

Shrapnel flew everywhere, craters appeared on the ground, and the ghost soldiers with weapons began to scream in pain.

A grenade fired from a 105mm cannon hit a wagon directly, and the shells began to explode, and the shells pulled on the wagon began to produce a series of explosions.

The carriage was torn apart in an instant, and a huge crater appeared on the ground, and hundreds of ghost soldiers nearby were all affected, and more than 80 people died on the spot.

Tahara Kuokai was escorted behind a stone for the first time, Tahara Kuokai squatted on the ground, he picked up the telescope and looked ahead.

Artillery shells were being fired on the high ground on the east and west sides of the front, and according to Tahara Hiromi's understanding, there were now more than a dozen heavy artillery shells.

The three infantry brigades had already been overturned by the bombed people, and even Tahara Kokai did not expect to be attacked by heavy artillery, let alone these ordinary devil soldiers.

Three of the twelve guns of the Japanese artillery brigade had already been destroyed, and the remaining nine guns immediately began to form artillery positions.

NINE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS BEGAN TO COUNTERATTACK, AND THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY FIRED SHELLS TOWARDS HOUGOU ROCK, AND THE JAPANESE ARMY WANTED TO SUPPRESS THE ARTILLERY OF THE HOUGOU ROCK ARMORED ARTILLERY BATTALION, SO THAT THE INFANTRY COULD QUICKLY CAPTURE HOUGOU ROCK, SO AS TO ESCAPE THE FATE OF BEING ATTACKED BY SHELLS.

"Immediately contact the First Garrison Brigade, ask them to return to help immediately, and order the Second Garrison Brigade to quickly attack the high ground on the west side!"

Tahara Kokai immediately began to give orders, he was going to break through from the west.

Braving the shell attack, the signal corps began to set up the radio station, through which they immediately made contact with the vanguard, and the signal corps quickly conveyed Tahara Kokai's order.

The two infantry guns of the second garrison brigade immediately began to be erected, and more than a thousand devil soldiers quickly marched towards the heights of Hougou Rock.

Four infantry squadrons began to form four echelons, and the devil soldiers of the heavy machine gun squadron quickly followed behind the infantry with heavy machine guns.

"Kill, give!" The captain of the 2nd Garrison Brigade waved his saber, and he shouted loudly to give orders.
