Chapter 219: The Great War Begins

As the commander of the regiment, of course Zhao Gang will not take credit from his subordinates, and the devils in the city see that this is all there is to it, he killed one, and the soldiers have one less combat exploit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Moreover, a regiment commander killed a devil and a small soldier, not only could not show his ability, but lowered his identity. So Zhao Gang thought about using this devil officer to try his marksmanship.

It's different when he becomes the head of the regiment, and the telescope in his hand is several grades higher than before, and from a distance of a few hundred meters, the appearance of the devil can still be seen clearly.

Of course, Zhao Gang is not interested in the appearance of the devil, he mainly looks at the epaulettes on the devil's clothes, and this thing is the focus of his attention.

"Huh! It seems to be a young saku! The first target was the captain of the devil team, Zhao Gang was also a little unsure, put down the binoculars, wiped his eyes, and raised the binoculars to continue to observe.

"Damn, it's really a young man, haha, it looks like I've got to be lucky!" Zhao Gang laughed and immediately took a Mauser rifle from the guard.

In order to hit with one blow, Zhao Gang also walked forward dozens of meters, reduced the shooting distance, adjusted the crosshair, and pulled the trigger hard, bang! A gunshot rang out.

The captain of the devil team is like agreeing with Zhao Gang in advance, as soon as the gunshot rang out here, his body immediately shook and then fell, if it weren't for the appearance of a hideous blood hole on the head of the captain of the devil, maybe some people would think that this was filming.

As soon as the captain of the devil team died, the devil had no commander, and the remaining dozens of devils screamed, and then scattered like headless flies and fled, the captain was killed, and these devil soldiers were also killed.

However, the county seat of the paddock is so big, and two regiments of the Chinese army have been killed, where else can they run.

Zhao Gang asked the troops to take the company as a unit and began to search from street to street, cleaning up the remnants of the devils one by one, and the same was true of the other regiment, and soon the remnants of the enemy in the city were wiped out by the two regiments.

Wang Dazhu asked Yan Chihuo to leave one or two companies of troops to garrison Weichang and Fengning counties respectively to maintain local law and order. These are our own land, and since we have already taken it down, we can't ignore it.

The main forces of the Eighth Division were concentrated near Chengde, and the two brigades here were annihilated again, and the large force of the enemy did not exist, as for the fleeing puppet army or the ruffians or hooligans, one company of troops in one county was enough to suppress the scene.

At the same time that Yan Chihuo started here, Hu Zhi's side also started a battle of annihilation against the second infantry brigade led by Aso Shaozuo.

Although Ho Chi did not have the artillery support provided to him by Wang Dazhu, he also did not have a city wall to hinder the attack of his warriors.

And the devil troops also; Fell into the ambush site he had planned in advance, and even now, there are still quite a few devil soldiers exposed to the firing circle of their brigade's fire points.

The two infantry guns of Aso's brigade were also killed by Ho Chi's artillery battalion after only a few shells were fired.

To deal with the remaining 500 or so remnants of devils, Hu Zhi thought of a very simple way, that is, to treat others in the way of others.

In the past, when the Japanese army attacked the national army, it generally used the three-plate axe of 'plane bombing, artillery bombardment, and then infantry rushing', and after the three-plate axe was completed, it was almost able to occupy the position of our army, and then said contemptuously: "The people of China are really incompetent."

Hu Zhi wanted to deal with the Japanese in the same way, although he did not have airplanes, but he had a lot of artillery, except for a few trenches on the devil's position, there was no other shelter, and the 12 75-mm field guns of the artillery battalion could be used to their heart's content.

He wanted to see how the Japanese would react after being bombarded by him, and at the same time to see if he could stand on the Japanese position and laugh at their combat effectiveness for being too scum.

It turns out that if the little devil is in a disadvantaged situation, the performance of our Chinese soldiers is not much better than that of our Chinese soldiers, and in order to verify his idea, Hu Zhi asked the artillery battalion to shell Aso's brigade for more than ten minutes.

In order to be able to hold on for a longer time, Aso Shaozo deliberately narrowed the defensive circle, but he didn't expect to help Hu Zhi instead, more than 100 shells were fired, and a small half of the devils were killed.

Of course, this is only incidental, the artillery battalion continues to fire, and the devils can only lie in the trenches, while our soldiers can swagger and attack the devils.

In addition to the field artillery of the artillery battalion, each regiment had ten eighty-zero mortars, and each battalion also had two mortars, with the fighters in the front charging with light machine guns and the fighters in the back covering with mortars and heavy machine guns.

Aso, who was hiding in the trenches, was familiar with this scene, and he knew that at this time, the Chinese soldiers would definitely take advantage of the cover of the shelling and approach his position.

Because he used this method to break through the position of the Chinese defenders in the past, and now that it is his turn to play this, Aso Shaozo is a little overwhelmed.

Aso Shaozo didn't resist, but whether it was a grenadier shooter or a machine gun shooter, he showed his head slightly, and was either killed by the bullets fired from the opposite side, or was blown away by the shells falling from a high altitude, and the strong firepower of the Chinese army shocked Ephedrine Neng Shaozo.

Helpless, Aso could only wait for the Chinese army to stop the shelling, and then rush to fight with them with bayonets.

Originally, the little devil would shoot a few rounds at our soldiers before fighting bayonets, but the little devil is not stupid.

Their marksmanship is much more accurate than that of our soldiers, and when they shoot at each other, the casualties are definitely our troops, and the casualties of our army are fought, and the pressure on them when fighting bayonets will be a little less.

As the commander of the Japanese brigade, Aso certainly did not know this, but he judged from the shelling of the artillery battalion that when the shelling stopped, it was estimated that the Chinese soldiers would also be killed outside their trenches.

At that time, there was only a distance of dozens of meters or even more than ten meters between the two, and the marksmanship was definitely a fart, and the marksmanship of the Chinese soldiers was a revegetable, and a shot at a distance of more than ten meters would definitely wear a hole in the soldiers of the empire.

"Hah! The little devil who can kill me hasn't been born yet."

Deng Yu slashed the head of a devil soldier who wanted to sneak attack him with a knife, and after a lot of addiction, when Deng Yu just wanted to continue to kill the enemy, he found that he had been surrounded by guards.

"Bastard, what are you doing around me if you don't kill devils with your brothers?" Deng Yu scolded angrily.

However, for Deng Yu's angry scolding, more than a dozen guards and soldiers around him directly chose to ignore it, and what could they do about this regiment commander.

Yan Chihuo, the commander of the first brigade, graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, and he himself is also a stable and heavy officer, so when he fights, he always plans before acting.

Under normal circumstances, he would not rush to the front line to fight bayonets with devils, of course, it doesn't matter if he is cowardly and daring.

Yan Chihuo felt that if a unit really needed their regiment commander or even brigade commander to fight with the enemy with bayonets, then this was basically the end of the army.

Yan Chihuo is like this, and the two commanders of the 1st Security Brigade also inherited Yan Chihuo's combat style.

And Hu Zhi is just the opposite of Yan Chihuo, every time he fights, he likes to rush to the front, and he also says that he wants to set an example for the soldiers, he is called: will have the heart of death, and the soldier has no greed for life.

I don't know how many times Hu Zhi's behavior has been criticized by Li Han, but he accepts it with an open mind every time, and then continues to teach him repeatedly.

However, on the day he was promoted to brigade commander, Li Han gave Hu Zhi a death order, if he was found to have run to the front line to lead the charge, he would be directly transferred from the brigade commander to him as a soldier, so that he could always fight at the forefront.

Although Hu Zhi was controlled by Li Han, several of his subordinate regiments were infected by Hu Zhi, especially Deng Yu, the head of the Third Security Regiment, who simply got his true inheritance.

After Deng Yu was protected by the guards, he knew that it was impossible for him to fight the bayonet, so he asked for a submachine gun from the guards, and began to rush towards the nearby devils again.

This time, the guards did not stop their regimental commander, they put the submachine guns in their hands sideways, and followed Deng Yu towards the devils on the position.

The guard soldiers also want to kill the devils, as a soldier of the guard company, they usually have few opportunities to contact the devils, which makes the soldiers of the guard company always feel that they have no place to show their kung fu.

Finally seized an opportunity, the guards and soldiers also wanted to show their strength, let the other brother troops see their skills, if it wasn't for the protection of Deng Yu, they would have rushed to the front.

Although the battle was fierce, the outcome was already predestined. Under the leadership of Aso Shaosa, the devil soldiers overcame all difficulties and fought with the soldiers of Ho Chi's first brigade with bayonets under great pressure, but under the powerful firepower of the second brigade, they had already lost nearly half of their troops before they fought hard.

There are less than 300 devils left to fight with more than 5,000 people in our army, what suspense can there be, speaking of which, Deng Yu can still get a little devil's head in this situation, which is already a very lucky thing, and many soldiers have no chance to see a live little devil at all.

After clearing the devil brigades in the enclosure and Fengning, Wang Dazhu left a battalion of troops to guard the liberated county seat, and at the same time cleaned up the remnants of the defeated Japanese army, and he quickly moved closer to Li Han with a large army.

At this time, Li Han had also led the troops directly under the military headquarters and the 145th Division to set up camp fifty or sixty miles away from Luanping.

Originally, Li Han planned to kill Chengde directly, but now he doesn't need to, because Nakamura Kotaro has already come to him with the main force of the Eighth Division.

Although it would be more beneficial for the Eighth Division to wait for Li Han to come to the door in Chengde, Kotaro Nakamura would definitely not be able to wait.

Li Han was forced by Umezu Mijiro's North China garrison army to have no way out, but he ran to attack Rehe, which was guarded by the Eighth Division, how could he endure this anger.
