Chapter 182: Recovering Hangzhou (14)
Where the entire devil army was located, artillery roared, and there were violent explosions everywhere.
The 24 105 mm howitzers are very powerful, and the mortars have a fast rate of fire, and a large number of shells are constantly exploding in this area, full of flying imps, and craters everywhere.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, we must retreat quickly." The chief of staff of the devil couldn't help but cry out anxiously when he saw that his side had suffered heavy casualties in just a few minutes.
Junichi Ono, the captain of the Devil's Osa Wing, had a very ugly face, and he witnessed his artillery squadron being blown away, and he saw his troops being blown up in pieces when he was ready to attack.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Junichi Ono finally gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat, and after giving the order, Junichi Ono, accompanied by a group of little devils, hurriedly ran to several large trucks in the distance, boarded the trucks, and began to retreat along the road in the direction of Jiebian Town.
A few minutes later, whether they received an order or did not receive an order, the little devils began to retreat in a mess, retreating back, trying to run out of the range of the artillery regiment.
On the ground, there were a lot of corpses of little devils, a large number of weapons, and they were in a mess, and the little devils who fled for their lives couldn't take care of these at all, and they fled for their lives in an old mind, braving fierce artillery fire, risking the risk of being blown up, and began to flee in fear.
The 105-mm howitzers of the artillery regiment and a large number of mortars of the infantry regiment extended all the way to shell the retreating ranks of the little devils, and the shelling time exceeded at least half an hour.
A group of little devils were defeated, and they ran three or four kilometers back before they ran out of the bombardment of these 105 howitzers.
Ride in the cab of a truck. The devil Osa's face was very gloomy, and at this time, Ono Junichi was full of grief and indignation, but he didn't expect the outcome of the battle to be like this.
The commander of the 26th Division, Jiro Nishikawa, asked Junichi Ono to defend in place. Junichi Ono, on the other hand, moved his troops a few kilometers forward and wanted to attack the position of the 1st Infantry Regiment, but he did not expect to suffer heavy casualties under such a heavy artillery bombardment before the attack began.
How to deal with Jiro Nishikawa is something that Junichi Ono himself has to consider.
The shelling that lasted more than half an hour just now killed at least a thousand little devils, and at least several hundred little devils were injured. In addition, more than half of the weapons and equipment of the entire First Infantry Regiment were abandoned on the way to escape, and many little devils escaped. But the weapon was discarded.
In addition, all 12 75-mm mountain guns of the artillery squadron were blown up, and the entire infantry wing was left without heavy weapons, and even light and heavy machine guns were discarded. The little devils are busy running for their lives. How can you still manage these bulky light and heavy machine guns.
On the positions of the 1st Infantry Regiment.
Seeing these little devils gradually moving away under the bombardment of artillery fire, the soldiers couldn't help but raise their arms and shout, such a fierce shelling, coupled with so many mortars are also joining in the fun, the soldiers know that the little devils must have suffered heavy casualties.
In front of the temporary headquarters of the 1st Infantry Regiment.
As the shelling began, the commander of the first regiment, the chief of staff of the first regiment and many other commanders were in front of the headquarters to watch the shelling in the distance. Everyone naturally saw the situation of the little devils fleeing in embarrassment.
The head of the regiment, Ha Lu, smiled: "Let's take a look." The little devil is miserable now, he must have been killed a lot by us, cool, really cool! ”
The commanders next to him were all happy, and everyone laughed happily.
"Tuanza, should we take advantage of the victory and chase after it." The chief of staff of a regiment suggested.
The head of the regiment shook his head and said, "Poor Kou Mo chase, the little devils can't run far." ”
……
The little devil who escaped was completely messed up, messy, and was bombarded with such fierce cannon fodder, how could it not be messy, even if the little devil was well-trained, it was useless, not to mention that the 26th Division was still a newly formed B division.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, are we going to defend where we are, or are we going to return to Boundary Town." The chief of staff of the devils, who was riding in the same car with the captain of the Devil Wing, Jun Ono, saw that he had reached a safe place, and couldn't help but ask about his Wing Commander.
With a black face, Junichi Ono didn't speak, and the captain of the devil wing didn't know what to do, if he went back, he would definitely be dealt with by Jiro Nishikawa, and if he didn't go back, he wouldn't be safe in this area.
It is indeed not safe here, this area is still seven or eight kilometers from the border town, about three or four kilometers from the position of the 1st Infantry Regiment, and the position is not good, and at any moment the troops of the independent division may appear.
When Junichi Ono hesitated, suddenly, many little devils noticed that a little light appeared in the northwest direction, and these lights were still moving rapidly.
A devil officer also saw this scene, and seeing so many lights, the devil officer suddenly shouted: "The chariot group of the Chinese army!" ”
This is indeed the tank group of the Chinese army, this unit is the 3rd tank regiment of the armored brigade, in addition, the 1st and 2nd tank regiments, and even the air defense regiment are on the way.
The little devils who reinforced Hangzhou along the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway were almost completely annihilated, and the Second Infantry Regiment defending there basically had no pressure, and the armored brigade also began to march towards the border town according to Ye Feng's order.
The 3rd Tank Regiment did not participate in the operation of destroying the little devils near the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway, and this time, Sun Yougen, the commander of the armored brigade, first sent the 3rd Tank Regiment out.
More than 100 tanks and 20 or 30 armored vehicles of the 3rd Tank Regiment galloped 20 to 30 kilometers and finally came here.
An infantry wing of the devil was bombarded badly and fled in a hurry, and the 3rd Infantry Brigade naturally reported this situation to the armored brigade, so the 3rd Tank Regiment was the first to rush over as the vanguard.
The commander of the third tank regiment sat in his armored command car, faintly looking at the little devils who had appeared, the commander of the third regiment was slightly excited, according to intelligence, there are more than 2,000 little devils in this area, enough to fight by themselves, this battle will be very enjoyable.
The third regiment commander, who was excited and slightly excited, began to give orders to his inter-vehicle radio communication system: "Brothers, rush up for me, destroy all these little devils for me, pay attention, and use machine guns as much as possible." ”
Now the fighters of the tank regiment have experience, and it is much more effective to use machine gun fire against a crowd of unprotected devils than to use a tank main gun.
Receiving the order of his own regiment commander, more than a hundred chariots, in a scattered formation, formed a huge chariot group with a width of hundreds of meters, increased the throttle and rushed towards the crowd of little devils.
With so many chariots rushing over, the little devils who were relatively close could even see the thick main gun barrels of the tanks, and these little devils turned pale with fright and became a mess.
The little devils were already in chaos, and at this time they were even more chaotic, even some of the little devils' low-level officers also began to mess up, and they hurriedly prepared to flee for their lives.
With so many tanks and armored vehicles coming, the little devils did not have the slightest will to resist, just now, these little devils had been bombarded by the fierce artillery fire of the artillery regiment of the Third Infantry Brigade and had no will, and as soon as the soldiers' chariots rushed over, the little devils suddenly scattered, only caring about fleeing for their lives.
Junichi Ono, the little devil riding in the truck, also saw a large number of lights in the distance, and also knew that this was a huge group of chariots.
Just now it was a heavy artillery group, and now it is a tank group, Ono Junichi thought sadly in his heart, how could he be so unlucky, these terrible troops have let himself encounter.
"Your Excellency, what shall we do?" The chief of staff of the devil shouted anxiously.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, retreat to the defense line of the border town, quickly, quickly!" Junichi Ono also shouted anxiously and ordered to flee for his life.
There are so many tanks, as well as twenty or thirty M3 half-track armored vehicles, so many combat vehicles, it is not something that these little devils can resist, not to mention, these little devils just now in order to escape for their lives, many people even discarded their weapons, and many little devils have no weapons.
The tank group of the 3rd Tank Regiment came very quickly, and it only took three or five minutes for the little devils to find these tanks and some of the tanks rushed to the eyes of the little devils, and in such a short time, the little devils had no time to escape.
As the distance got closer, quite a few tanks began to shoot, each M4 Sherman tank was equipped with a 7.62 mm machine gun, and the machine guns on these tanks began to shoot fiercely at the panicked crowd of little devils, in addition to these tanks, the twenty or thirty M3 half-track armored vehicles also began to shoot.
These M3 armored vehicles have more firepower, each armored car has three machine guns, one 12.7 mm Browning heavy machine gun, two 7.62 mm light machine guns, in addition, the armored vehicles are full of soldiers, and many fighters are also holding weapons on the armored vehicles aimed at the crowd of little devils.
"Da, da, da......"
Dense and rapid firing sounded, a large number of machine guns spewed tongues of fire, and a large number of bullets flew towards the crowd of little devils, and suddenly, a large number of little devils fell.
So many machine gun fires are very terrifying.
Some little devils were beaten into a hornet's nest, and some little devils were directly blown off their heads by thick machine gun bullets, and a large number of little devil corpses soon appeared on the ground.
A large number of tanks of the 3rd Tank Regiment were shooting while rushing towards the crowd of little devils, and soon, many tanks rushed into the crowd of devils, and the soldiers shot as much as they could, and there were machine gun shots everywhere, as well as the screams of little devils.
The big truck that the little devil Daisa's captain Junichi Ono was riding was also found by the soldiers, and these trucks were parked on the road, and there were many ghost soldiers on both sides of the road.
Seeing that a few tanks appeared in his field of vision, less than two hundred meters away from him, the devil Dazuo's heart tightened, and the secret path was not good.
"Quick, quick, drip, retreat." Junichi Ono hurriedly urged the devil lieutenant who was driving, asking to increase the accelerator and run away quickly.
