Chapter 599: Japanese Reinforcements
Before Sun Weiguo came to fight the Japanese transport troops, he definitely did not expect that the Japanese troops would transport so many supplies.
When he saw these materials, Sun Weiguo realized that with his own troops, it would be difficult to transport all the materials away, and Sun Weiguo would be reluctant to destroy these materials.
After thinking about it, he immediately instructed Yin Jin to inform the people nearby that he planned to use the power of the people to transport these supplies.
The Japanese army launched a war of aggression in China, and they thought that as long as the Chinese troops were defeated and the Chinese culture was destroyed, then they could enslave China, but they did not know that many people in the Japanese-occupied areas supported the anti-Japanese forces in their hearts.
The people were mobilized, the elderly, the women, all the people were doing what they could.
A seven or eight-year-old boy followed behind his father, holding a handful of bullets in his hand and a confused expression on his small face.
Qin Xianliang of the staff office took the cavalry battalion and the first company of the machine gun company of the infantry battalion to cover the convoy and left, while Sun Weiguo took the armored battalion, the cavalry battalion, the second and third companies of the machine infantry battalion, and the reconnaissance battalion, the engineer company, and the second artillery battalion to break off.
The people pushed wheelbarrows, carried flat burdens, and left with the convoy in ox carts, and the road that had been piled up with various materials before became quiet in an instant.
The troops of the Eighth Route Army cannot be compared with other faction troops in mobilizing the common people, and the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the common people is that of fish and water.
Without the support of the common people, the Eighth Route Army would not be able to persist in the war of resistance behind enemy lines, and it would be able to make the common people risk their lives to support the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which in turn had a lot to do with the policy of the Eighth Route Army.
Watching the mighty people follow the convoy and leave, Sun Weiguo's solemn expression gradually relaxed, with such troops, with such people, it is simply a fool's dream for little Japan to want to destroy China.
The convoy gradually began to disappear from view, and the Japanese units began to come within range of the 2nd Artillery Battalion.
The 114th Cavalry Brigade of the 114th Division rushed over immediately after receiving the news, and when the Captain of the Cavalry Brigade was passing through the county seat, he brought out the third brigade of the 65th Wing stationed in the county seat, and more than 1,000 cavalry and infantry of the Japanese army immediately rushed from the county seat.
The captain of the cavalry brigade, Amagi Shichiro, showed an anxious expression on his face, he was in charge of receiving the transport troops, and now the transport troops had also arrived in Jingcheng County, if there was any accident with the transport troops, Amagi Shichiro would naturally be responsible.
Originally, he thought that there would be no accidents with the transport troops, and he was marching towards Jingcheng County with his troops, and he wanted to meet the transport troops in the county seat.
However, what Amagi Shichiro did not expect was that as soon as the transport troops entered Jingcheng County, they were attacked by Chinese troops.
Amagi Shichiro, who was extremely anxious, was eager to fly to the combat area, and now the cavalry unit he led was even more than a kilometer away from the infantry.
The cavalry troops held torches, and Amagi Shichiro frowned tightly as he listened to the sound of gunfire in front of him gradually disappearing.
"Captain, we have distanced ourselves from the infantry for too long, and if we are attacked by the Chinese troops, we may find it difficult to get infantry support."
The captain squadron leader of a cavalry squadron immediately came to Amagi Shichiro, and the captain said in an anxious tone.
"Bagaya Road, the gunfire in front has disappeared, do you think it will be the Imperial Army troops who defeated the Chinese army? If we don't hurry over, the supplies will be destroyed by the Shina troops, and these materials are very important, but His Excellency Commander Terauchi Shouichi has emphasized many secondary aspects to ensure the safety of the materials. ”
Amagi Shichiro said in a cold tone, if it weren't for the war horse, I'm afraid he would have slapped the captain squadron leader a few times.
was severely reprimanded by Amagi Shichiro, and the captain squadron leader didn't dare to talk more, he continued to follow behind Amagi Shichiro.
The cavalry troops were advancing rapidly, but they did not know that there were 12 Type 94 75MM mountain guns of the 2nd Artillery Battalion of the New 2nd Brigade and 24 guns of different calibers of the Mounted Artillery Battalion of the 6th Cavalry Regiment waiting for them, and they would not know that the 38 tanks and four Type 92 armored vehicles of the armored battalion were ready to attack.
The distance was getting closer and closer, Zheng Jingjing's eyes looked at Sun Weiguo, and when Sun Weiguo gave the order to shoot, the twelve mountain cannons took the lead in firing.
After the first round of shooting, Zheng Jingjing ordered the artillery to be corrected, and then the second round of shooting was launched, and each artillery fired three bursts of rapid fire, and 36 grenades fell into the ranks of the Japanese cavalry.
More than 300 cavalrymen were killed on the spot, and more than 80 people were killed, and the remaining cavalry immediately dispersed, and after being shelled, Amagi Shichiro's face turned pale.
Just as he ordered the cavalry troops to accelerate their advance, the cavalry battalion units began to fire, six infantry guns, six anti-tank guns, six mountain guns, six mortars began to fire grenades, and as the cavalry battalion troops fired grenades, the armored battalion units under the command of the regiment commander Yin Jinshan began to attack.
The two companies of the infantry battalion concentrated light and heavy machine-gun fire to cover the attack of the armored battalion troops.
The artillery began to fire at the Japanese infantry in the back, and the hundreds of Japanese infantry following behind began to be fired at by more than thirty artillery pieces.
"Tank, it's a tank, retreat quickly." When Amagi Shichiro saw the tank, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He was calm, he knew that the cavalry would not be a match for the tanks at all, and he immediately ordered the troops to begin withdrawing.
More than 200 cavalrymen began to turn their horses and try to evacuate, but the tank machine guns continued to strafe, and one cavalryman was thrown to the ground.
"Jia Leiping, pay attention to the sides of the tank and watch out for the Japanese artillery." Sun Weiguo held a telescope to observe, and he immediately gave an order.
The armored battalion troops are now only concerned with pursuing the Japanese cavalry, and they have neglected the vigilance on both sides, and if the Japanese artillery is deployed on both sides at this time, it will definitely bring a lot of casualties to the armored troops.
The six anti-tank guns of the anti-tank artillery company of the armored battalion immediately began to be deployed, and the company commander, Jia Leiping, vigilantly observed the sides of the tank.
After the cavalry company of the reconnaissance battalion returned, Sun Weiguo sent the cavalry company to both sides of the tank to guard, as the saying goes, there is no big mistake in being careful, the armored battalion is the treasure of the new second brigade, and Sun Weiguo cannot let the armored battalion make any mistakes.
The tank and the cavalry duel, the result can be imagined, the evacuated cavalry kept falling from the horses, seeing that the tank was almost out of the range of the artillery, Sun Weiguo issued an order to stop firing, he ordered the tank to return, and the second artillery battalion and the mounted artillery battalion were responsible for covering.
