Chapter 571: Encircling and annihilating a regiment
"Imperial warriors, kill and give, seize the positions of the Chinese troops, and kill all the Chinese troops!"
Holding the saber in both hands, Koga Nochi began to rush over, and this time Koga Nochi was determined to conquer the position, and he began to rush in front of the devil soldiers.
Born into a samurai family, Koga Nochi has been trained in the spirit of bushido since he was a child, and Koga Notomo, who is essentially a cherry-eyer, also hopes that he can have a short and beautiful life.
He wants to make a contribution on the battlefield in China, and he wants to be a hero like Nogi Noshinori.
Squadron Leader Koga Nochi personally led the charge and the morale of the devil soldiers was boosted, and dozens of devil soldiers followed behind Koga Nochi, who quickly poured into the position with bayonets.
At this time, the devil soldiers showed a very fierce side, they ignored the fallen comrades around them, they ignored the fierce bullets in front, they marched towards the front without hesitation.
The distance between the two sides was gradually shortened, forty meters, thirty meters, fifteen meters, seven meters, and the Chinese and Japanese soldiers could clearly see each other's faces.
The officers and soldiers of the 10th Company began to install bayonets, Wang Yucun took out a big knife, and he looked coldly at the devil soldiers.
"Comrades, rush with me." Wang Yucun shouted loudly, and he jumped out of the trench first.
The soldiers followed behind Wang Yucun, they rushed out of the trench with bayonets, and the Chinese and Japanese sides were in close hands, and the sound of "Qiang Qiang" metal collision continued to sound.
No one retreated, even though the Japanese army fought very hard, but the soldiers did not have the slightest fear.
The cold bayonet pierced into the body, and bright red blood flowed down the wound, and the ground began to gradually turn bright red, and both sides were already red.
The stabbing between the two sides lasted for about ten minutes, and the Japanese troops gradually retreated, and Koga Nochi was carried down by the devil soldiers, and he was cut a deep wound in his chest by a large knife.
Wang Yucun's condition was even more serious, his right arm was pierced by a Japanese bayonet, and his entire right arm could not be moved, such a situation required first aid, but Wang Yucun only bandaged it briefly, and he continued to stay on the position to command the battle.
Yeyu Village is located three kilometers west of Zhao Qingong Village, where the Japanese artillery position is located, Ikuta Nakasa commanded the artillery to shoot, and next to the artillery position, is the brigade headquarters of the first brigade of the melee, after the Japanese troops and the first regiment of the pre-regiment began to fight, Kunomura Momoyo moved his headquarters, and the Hashimoto group also followed here.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there are less than 1,000 people in the Chinese army, I are now besieged in the village, but they are very tenacious in fighting, it will take some time for us to completely annihilate them, at present, more than 6,000 troops of the Chinese army are blocked in the village of Crazy Village, the 117th Wing Commander Gao Shujia sent a message, they are sure to contain the Chinese army for more than three days, and in the area north of Xiyang County, it was found that there are more than 3,000 Zhina troops gathered, they are likely to attack Xiyang County, and there is Okamoto Hideaki report, The Chinese troops that had been routed by them were also engaged in a diversion battle against them. ”
Chiaki Hattori came to Momoyo Kunomura and reported that the current situation was favorable to the Japanese troops, and the Chinese troops were at a disadvantage in all respects.
The situation on the battlefield only has a small mistake, which will change the whole situation of the war, after the Jindong combat soldiers adopted guerrilla warfare to disperse the troops, they lost the initiative, Kunomura Momoyo seized this opportunity, he grasped the initiative in time, and the current situation of the war is dominated by the Japanese army.
As long as the troops of the first regiment are completely annihilated, then the first brigade of the melee can easily encircle and annihilate the rest of the local troops.
"Order Hideaki Okamoto and let him return as soon as possible to participate in the battle of encirclement and annihilation of the first regiment. Sun Weiguo can't command the troops to fight now, this is our only chance, if we can't annihilate all the troops of the first regiment at this time, there will definitely be no such opportunity in the future. Kunomura Momoyo looked at Chiaki Hattori, and he immediately gave an order.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." Chiaki Hattori immediately saluted and said.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, whether the aviation forces will be able to participate in the operation, if they can come here, it will definitely be beneficial for our troops to fight."
After Chiaki Hattori left to convey the order, Momoyo Kunomura looked at the Hashimoto group beside him, and he asked softly.
"The air force has already begun to make arrangements, and tomorrow eighteen bombers will come here to help in the battle, and His Excellency the commander has ordered us to seize the opportunity, even if we cannot completely annihilate a regiment of troops, we must completely defeat the Chinese troops." Hashimoto took the telegram he had just received, and he looked at Kunomura Momoyo and said.
A confident smile appeared on Kunomura's face, but he thought that his troops would definitely be able to wipe out the first regiment of troops this time.
Night was soon falling, and the fierce fighting was still going on, and the Japanese troops naturally did not miss this opportunity.
Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong began to come to Zhao Qingong Village with the reconnaissance company, the engineer company and other troops, and they began to contain some Japanese troops, but the reconnaissance company and the engineer company wanted to rescue the besieged pre-1st regiment troops, which was obviously impossible.
Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong both came to the front line to fight in person, but they can't play any role now.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the 4th Brigade of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Mixed Combat Regiment entered the village, and Yin Jin, deputy commander of the 1st Regiment, was seriously wounded when he commanded the troops to counterattack.
At the same time, the two brigades of the guerrilla detachment of nearly 2,000 troops made a detour from the flank, and they wanted to bypass Kongzhuang, but the Japanese heavy artillery unit discovered the two brigades, and four 105MM cannons carried out artillery bombardment, which brought dozens of casualties to the two brigades, and the Japanese troops attacked under the cover of heavy artillery to block the two brigades from attacking.
Only now did the soldiers discover that the same troops, the same enemy, with and without the command of Sun Weiguo, were completely different.
When Sun Weiguo was commanding the troops to fight, the soldiers felt that it was very easy to fight devils, but without Sun Weiguo's command, they found that it was difficult to fight devils.
At half past eight o'clock in the evening, two brigades of the Yongxing detachment, two brigades of the Wang Naigui detachment, and four brigades, totaling more than 3,000 troops, began to attack Xiyang County.
At this time, only two infantry squadrons of the Third Brigade of the 117th Wing of the Japanese Army, one machine gun squadron and one guard squadron of the 132nd Wing were stationed in Xiyang County.
However, the Japanese troops, which were less than 1,000 men, simply stopped the attack of more than 3,000 troops, and the two detachments of more than 3,000 troops were repulsed without even approaching the city wall.
The battle in Xiyang County was a failure, and tens of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be completely annihilated by the Japanese army at any time.
The morale of the Japanese troops was high, and the morale of the Chinese troops was gradually declining, and here in Pingding County, the deputy chief of staff, Qin Xianliang, had urgently assembled the cavalry battalion troops.
