Chapter 136: Engagement
Tong! Tong! Tong!
A grenade was fired into the ranks of the Allied forces that broke through, and more than a dozen Allied soldiers fell in a pool of blood, followed by hundreds of devils who quickly chased after them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The commander of the Allied forces in the distance also had a sad look on his face. Not only was he sad for the soldiers who had sacrificed, but he was also worried about his own situation, and he seemed to realize that if he continued to run like this, these hundreds of people would not be able to save in the end.
"Let the artillery regiment open fire, cover the brothers of the Allied army to withdraw, the fourteenth and fifteenth regiments attack the devil's troops from the front, and the sixteenth regiment and the security regiment outflank from both flanks."
The devil finally appeared, and Li Han was also very sad to see so many soldiers sacrificed under the grenadier shelling of the devil. He immediately ordered the artillery regiment to cover the retreat of the Allied brothers, and at the same time did not forget to make the invaders pay the price.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The artillery of the artillery regiment began to roar, but it was only the mountain artillery battalion that was really collected, and although the grenadiers carried by these hundreds of devils were a bit much, they did not carry infantry guns or other field guns.
In Xu Hu's opinion, to deal with these devils, the artillery battalions of several regiments below the brigade headquarters are enough to deal with these devils, where is the artillery regiment still used.
However, since the brigade seat has an order, he doesn't mind letting the soldiers of the artillery regiment loosen their muscles and bones, and by the way, they can exercise their artillery fighting skills.
Under the full bombardment of twelve mountain guns, the devil's grenadiers and grenadier shooters turned into a mixture of steel and flesh without the slightest accident.
Since Xu Hu has made a move, of course, it is impossible to only hit a few dozen grenadiers, and those who rushed the most in the devil army and smiled the most proudly on their faces have all become the targets of revenge by the second battalion of the artillery regiment.
After a burst of artillery fire, the devils reduced their strength by at least two squads, and the casualties of the grenadiers exceeded 80 percent. One by one, the remaining devils turned into shrunken turtles, and their bodies quickly lay on the ground, their heads eager to burrow into the soil.
The Confederate warriors cheered, and at last reinforcements arrived, and they were finally saved.
The mountain artillery battalion stopped shelling after only three rapid fires, and these hundreds of devils were not worth their big fight, their real opponent was the devil's artillery wing.
Originally, with the quantity and quality of artillery shells, they were at an absolute disadvantage against the artillery wing of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army, and if there was even a problem with the supply of ammunition, what would they do to confront the devil's artillery wing at that time.
Besides, if they beat up the devils, what would happen to the 14th and 15th regiments, Xu Hu finally decided to leave some meat for the infantry to eat, otherwise the two regiment commanders would come to the brigade headquarters, and I am afraid that even the brigade adults would not be able to parry.
"Kill!"
As soon as the shelling stopped, thousands of fighters in the two regiments let out a tsunami-like shout.
Both regiments have their own artillery battalions, but at this time the devil is lying on the ground to avoid the shelling of the artillery regiment, and the two regiment commanders consciously save a few shells for themselves, after all, shells are no better than bullets.
Besides, the two regiments of them dealt with hundreds of devils together, which was enough to give face to the little devils, where to waste precious shells.
The devil captain who led the team was very angry when he found out that he had been attacked by the artillery of the Zhina, and he lost nearly a hundred people from this shelling.
Among them, the grenadier shooter and deputy alone accounted for half, which made him go back and explain how to explain to the captain. The captain's squadron was strengthened by the captain, with more than 380 men, and the strength of this squadron alone was equivalent to two squadrons.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, a large number of Chinese troops were killed, and the captain, who was eager to redeem the defeat, not only did not fear, but showed a fierce light, commanding the imperial army lying on the ground, and kept shooting at our attacking troops, trying to prevent our soldiers from approaching them.
However, the devil captain quickly paid the price for his arrogance, although the two regiment commanders had decided not to use the artillery of the artillery battalion, but the number of mortars in their hands was not small, what can the devil's marksmanship be accurate, a few shells will be fired, and a nest of devils will be reimbursed.
Although the soldiers of our army are not as good as the devils in terms of marksmanship, there are not many heroes in the fight, and there are only a few devils.
Although the losses of the 14th and 15th regiments of our army in these days were not small, the number of men in each regiment still exceeded 2,500, and the total number of the two regiments was more than 5,000 people, and the number of soldiers who charged alone still exceeded 3,000 after excluding artillery and other non-combat troops.
And the devils don't even have three hundred people now, and they were still chasing the soldiers of the Allied army a moment ago, so they don't have the time and effort to build a position.
In this way, two armies with a huge difference began to shoot at each other on the empty road, how could a few hundred devils be able to block the attack of several thousand people from the two regiments of the 145th Brigade.
More and more soldiers approached the devil's defense line, and the devil captain knew that he couldn't pass this pass, so he also commanded the remnants of the devil soldiers, picked up his rifle and launched a counter-charge against our army with a hideous face.
Of course, for this performance of the devil captain, the soldiers welcomed them with more enthusiastic and loud cheers, but the movements in their hands were not slow at all.
The soldiers also have an account in their hearts, there are so many people of their own, and the devil is just like that, many clever warriors have stopped the charge, and take advantage of the opportunity of the devil's charge to directly kill a few with the rifle in their hands, otherwise, when they are in a melee with the devil, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do with themselves.
After the captain of the devil brigade knew that the reinforced squadron in front was ambushed by the Chinese army, he immediately came to support with the main force of the brigade.
However, he was unable to join his vanguard squadron, because he was stopped by the 16th Regiment and the Security Regiment halfway through.
Lin Youzhi and Yan Chihuo originally wanted to cooperate with Wang Dazhu and Zhang Tie to eliminate the devils from the two wings of the devils.
However, they were only halfway through the roundabout, and the vanguard of the devils had already been surrounded, and it happened that at this time the scouts came to report, and the follow-up troops of the devils also arrived.
As soon as the two of them combined, if they went back now, it was estimated that they wouldn't even be able to drink the soup, so they simply took the troops and went straight to the follow-up troops of the little devil.
Lin Youzhi's 16th Regiment is a new regiment after all, after a few days of fierce fighting, the number has been sharply reduced to 2,000 people, and the casualties are nearly one-third, and the security regiment has been hit hard by the devils, although Yan Chihuo has recruited a lot of recruits in Xuanhua, but now the security regiment is only 1,500 people.
The two regiments combined were only about 3,500 people, and although the ghost captain felt a little tricky, he didn't feel that he couldn't resist.
Even after he had now lost a reinforced squadron, his brigade still had more than 800 people, and in his opinion, it should be no problem to deal with an army of only a little more than 3,000 men.
According to common sense, there is nothing wrong with the idea of the captain of the Japanese army, the opponent of one of their brigades is originally a unit at the brigade level of our regiment, and if it is a regimental level unit, then it must be at least a regimental unit of more than 2,000 people, so that he can barely be qualified to be his opponent.
However, there was no hope for the Devil Brigade to reinforce the Vanguard Squadron, although he had always looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. But there were thousands of people standing in front of him, even thousands of pigs, and they had to catch them for a long time if they wanted to, not to mention that they were still heavily armed soldiers.
The captain of the devil brigade mourned for the vanguard squadron for a few seconds in his heart, and then he took the main force of the brigade and the sixteenth regiment and the security regiment, which were several times larger.
The captain of the devil brigade sprinkled all his anger on Lin Youzhi and Yan Chihuo, his idea was very simple, since it was the army in front of him who prevented him from rescuing the vanguard squadron, then he would take a piece of meat from their bodies to comfort the imperial warriors of the vanguard squadron.
So under the orders of the captain of the devil's brigade, the devil's artillery squad and grenadier canisters began to fire shells at our army, a squadron of devils
However, Lin Youzhi and Yan Chihuo are not easy to provoke, their two regiments are complete with mountain artillery and field artillery, and there are also a lot of mortars and grenadiers, in terms of number alone, they are at least two or three times that of the devil's brigade.
The devils were only 800 people, and they dared to take the initiative to attack them, and the two immediately set up a position, with the mortar company and infantry in the front, and the rear of the soldiers, the artillery battalion of the 16th Regiment and the artillery company of the Security Regiment also began to provide fire cover for the infantry.
As soon as the artillery fired, the devil captain was blinded. According to past experience, the regimental level of the Chinese army is capable of several mortars is already quite remarkable.
That's why he had the Imperial soldiers attack the enemy under the cover of infantry guns, which directly caused the squadron in charge of the attack to suffer devastating artillery fire.
The captain of the devil brigade estimates that according to this artillery intensity, not to mention his own brigade, even if the artillery of the three brigades is concentrated together, it is not as large as the number of cannons of that person, and even if all the cannons of the entire Aoki Wing are transferred, it can only be a tie at most.
However, the field artillery squadron and mountain artillery squadron of the Aoki Wing were left behind by them, and they could not and could not reach the Pangjiabao area so quickly. Captain Devil, as one of the three captains of Aoki United, certainly wouldn't be unaware of the news.
Realizing that something was wrong with the situation, the captain of the devil brigade ordered the troops to defend on the spot and wait for the arrival of the main force of the wing, and at the same time fed back the news that the Shina army was carrying a large number of artillery and other heavy weapons to Aoki Daisa.
This was the first time that the Aoki Wing had entered Chahar Province, and in between, they had a great performance in both the Northeast and the Great Wall. Therefore, the Devil Captain was not worried that he would be attacked by the enemy, and in his memory, attack had always been the preserve of the Imperial Army.
"Devils are crazy, so many people dare to take the lead, and when they see a loss, they remember to be a turtle with a shrunken head, how can there be such a good thing in the world."
Yan Chihuo looked at the devil who was starting to build a position on the opposite side and said to Lin Youzhi.
"Seeing the devil soldiers rushing so fiercely, I thought at first that the main force of the devil Aoki Wing had arrived, but I knew that there was only one brigade, and a piece of meat was taken away by the fourteenth and fifteenth regiments, so many devils and our two regiments are not enough for you and me."
Lin Youzhi didn't expect that the devils who had already suffered a lot of losses in Chahar had not gotten rid of their arrogance and arrogance, and it was estimated that they were still delusional that the scene of occupying Mukden with a few hundred people could be reproduced.
