Chapter Ninety-Six: The Encirclement of the Japanese Army

Although Li Han was ready to fight the Japanese army in Chahar to the end, but now that the war has just begun, if he loses a main regiment, how will the battle be fought in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As soon as the devil's plane came, Li Han's mountain artillery battalion no longer dared to fire without scruples, these things are powerful, but they are also bulky, and it is very inconvenient to transfer.

The Japanese planes threw bombs in the sky with impunity, and although the soldiers could hide in the trenches and the casualties were not very large, their morale was greatly affected.

After all, no one wants to be charged by themselves, and the little devil's plane rushes out and bombs indiscriminately. However, in the face of the devil's plane, even Li Han had no choice.

Unless the devil pilots get carried away and lower their flight altitude, the machine gunners can take the opportunity to hit a shuttle or two, and at other times they can only hide on the spot, and whether they can avoid the bombing of enemy planes depends on their personal luck.

"Let's talk about how to fight next! Just now, Wang Dazhu reported the situation to the brigade headquarters, and the 24th Wing of the Japanese army was only a few hours away from them.

Moreover, behind the 24th Wing, there is a Japanese army of more than 1,000 people, which should be directly under the 46th Brigade. ā€

Li Han convened a meeting of his officers again, let everyone know about the situation, and by the way, see if anyone could provide a better plan. Li Han still knows the truth that one person is short, and everyone is long.

"Brigade commander, this little devil thinks too highly of us, just to deal with one of our brigades, he actually dispatched a brigade!"

Zhang Tie, the commander of the first battalion of the 14th Regiment, stood up and said, to be honest, he really didn't figure it out. According to the arrogant character of the Japanese army, this move was very abnormal. Not only him, but other officers could not figure it out either.

A brigade of the Japanese army is at least a division of the Central Army, and at least it is also a large-scale division with a two-brigade and six-regiment system.

Now that it is being used to deal with a Type B brigade with a one-brigade and two-regiment system, aren't they afraid that if it is spread out, it will lose the military prestige of the Imperial Japanese Army?

"You know a fart, do you really think that the Japanese dispatched a brigade for our 145th Brigade, people have taken a fancy to Chahar's territory, and dealing with us is purely a matter of beating rabbits with grass and doing it easily."

Shi Shi'an said with some hatred, looking at Li Han, who was also a soldier brought out by himself, why is the gap so big.

However, if Li Han didn't have the foundation of later generations, his performance would definitely not be as good as Camp Commander Zhang Tie now.

"What the deputy brigade commander said was right, but the little devils thought that what they were going to fight was just a rabbit, but they didn't expect that our 145th Brigade was not a rabbit, but a tiger that had grown up. The little devil uses the power of beating rabbits to deal with the tiger, how can he not suffer. ā€

Gao Jian is the one who has been fighting with devils for the longest time in the brigade, and he has been fighting with little devils since 918, and he knows the ambition of little devils best.

Moreover, since he became the chief of staff of the 145th Brigade, Gao Jian has been able to contact more and more information, and he often discusses these issues with Li Han, so he can naturally judge what the intentions of the Japanese army are from this information.

"Deputy Brigadier Shi, do you have any good suggestions?"

Of course, the first thing Li Han asked was Shi Shi'an, because in Li Han's eyes, no matter what scene the old regiment commander faced, he could face it calmly, which Li Han couldn't do even if he became a brigade commander.

"What else can be done, we can only attack at night, the devil's plane can't be dispatched at night, we can use the night time to launch an attack on the devil's position."

Li Han looked at Gao Jian again and found that he also agreed with Shi Shi'an's proposal. In fact, there is no way to do it.

Not to mention airplanes, even if he could have a few anti-aircraft machine guns and a few anti-aircraft guns, the Japanese planes would not dare to be so rampant. It's a pity that they don't have anything, and there is nothing else to do but fill it with human lives.

"This can only be the case, Chief of Staff, you take the supplementary battalion to join Wang Dazhu and them first, I am worried that they are too few and the pressure is too great."

I don't know how long it will take to eliminate Seiichi Yamashita on my side, and there are more than 1,000 people in the supplementary battalion, except for rifles or 38 big covers, other light and heavy machine guns are not counted in their original ones, and Li Han has been equipped with light machine guns to the squad and heavy machine guns to the platoon.

Moreover, although the supplementary battalion is called a supplementary battalion, the training and equipment of the troops are all carried out in accordance with the standards of combat units.

"No problem, brigade, you can rest assured, with the supplementary battalion, the strength of Wang Dazhu's side can also reach more than 4,000 people, and the number of devils is so much, the others dare not guarantee that it is still certain to block them for four or five days."

Gao Jian said with a firm face.

"Good! With the words of the chief of staff, I am relieved! ā€

"Although it is preparing to attack at night, it is impossible to let Yamashita Seiichi rest during the day, and the 14th Regiment and the reconnaissance battalion take turns attacking the position of the devils.

The artillery battalion should also provide artillery support at the appropriate time, and we will fight like this for a few days, and when the devils are exhausted, we will launch a general attack at night. ā€

Li Han's words doomed Seiichi Yamashita to have a hard time in the future.

After repairing for a night, the units of the 145th Brigade in Duolun began to attack Seiichi Yamashita early the next morning.

The devil's position was built on a hillside with an average altitude of only a dozen meters, and after Seiichi Yamashita was beaten by Li Han, he retreated here with the 13th Brigade after seeing the bad idea, and then built fortifications on the spot, preparing to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

The offensive units of our army were battalion-level units, and we attacked wave after wave, and we had more than 800 people in one battalion.

Although the first battalion suffered many casualties after yesterday's battle, Shi Shi'an temporarily added his guard company to the ranks of the first battalion. In this way, although the number of the four battalions was reduced, the firepower was greatly increased.

Of course, even if a battalion of seven or eight hundred people tried its best, it was impossible to attack a position defended by more than a thousand devils.

But Yamashita Seiichi didn't dare to be careless, he had to ensure that the position was not broken through by the Shina army, otherwise the China people, who had the advantage in numbers and firepower, would all rush up at once, and then he would be a tragedy.

The first batch to attack was Li Yong's reconnaissance battalion, his luck was better, the devil's plane had not yet been dispatched, the artillery battalion gave him a lot of help, the distance of several hundred meters in front almost ran over, and the devil was hit by Xu Hu's artillery battalion and couldn't even lift his head.

Seeing that hundreds of the armies were about to rush to the position, Yamashita Makoichi was so anxious that he couldn't care about the casualties of the soldiers anymore.

While ordering the devils of each squadron to shoot back, he kept sending reports to Inoue one at a time, asking for aviation support.

He even threatened that without the support of the air force, the 23rd Wing would probably disappear from the Japanese army today.

With the help of artillery, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion charged with more vigor, and in the past, it was the devils who attacked our army under the cover of artillery fire, but now it is the turn of the devils to taste the taste of being bombed.

However, although the devil did not have field artillery, he was still equipped with a lot of mortars and grenadiers, and Yamashita Seiichi was now anxious, and took out all the grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns in the inventory of the wing headquarters and distributed them to the front-line soldiers.

There is never a shortage of soldiers who are not afraid of death in the devil's ranks, and those light and heavy machine gunners and grenadier shooters directly ignored the shells that kept exploding around them, and desperately opened fire on the soldiers.

The devil soldiers dared to keep firing under the shelling of our army, and the reconnaissance battalion of the reconnaissance battalion had artillery to help in the battle, how could they be timid, although there were constantly comrades around them who fell, but more soldiers rushed to the front position.

Seeing that it is only a few dozen meters away from the devil's position, and it is only a matter of a few minutes to see this posture, you can go to the devil's position to kill the devil, how can you give up at this time.

Moreover, the artillery will not be polite to those devil soldiers who are not afraid of death, Li Han has more than one artillery battalion, the 14th Regiment also has a mortar company, and the reconnaissance battalion itself also has a machine gun company, and more than 20 80 mortars are fired at the devil's position together.

Those devil grenadier shooters and heavy machine gunners who dare to shoot desperately are the key targets of mortar care.

"Rush!"

With so much cover from the shelling, if Li Yong could not kill the Japanese position, then he would not be worthy of being the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, the elite battalion of the 145th Brigade. The reconnaissance battalion was less than fifty meters away from the devil's position, Li Yong shouted loudly, then clenched the submachine gun in his hand and accelerated his sprint.

"Kill!"

Li Yong was followed closely by the soldiers of the guard company, and the reconnaissance battalion, as a mechanized infantry battalion, was originally smaller in number than the average infantry battalion.

In addition, the reconnaissance battalion also participated in the battle of ambushing the Honda brigade before, and there were also some casualties, so Li Han transferred a hundred soldiers from the guard company to temporarily strengthen Li Yong.

Behind the guard company were the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who had already been loaded with bayonets, and because the second batch of Mauser rifles purchased by Li Han had not yet arrived, the war broke out, so the rifles of the reconnaissance battalion and the supplementary battalion were still covered with 38 big covers.

"Put on the bayonet and beat the people down."

Seeing that the soldiers of China were killed, a devil squadron leader hurriedly ordered his squadron to take bayonets and prepare to drive the reconnaissance battalion out of the position by white-knuckle combat.

The devils of this period are by no means cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, whether they win or lose the battle, the little devils will show their sick side.

Seeing that the rifle shooting alone had blocked the attack of the Buzhina, he simply picked up his rifle, loaded the bayonet, and killed the rushing Shina army.

"Good boy, really good job, brigade commander, do you want to take the opportunity to take the devil's position."

Shi Shi'an saw from behind that Li Yong's first wave of charges directly hit the devil's position, and he couldn't help but applaud him. At the same time, he planned to take advantage of the entanglement between Li Yong and the devil, and dispatch a large army to take the devil's position in one fell swoop.
