Chapter 575: It's Time for Us to Fight Back
Losing heavy machine guns, the Japanese army was simply a live target in front of the special operations detachment, which was armed with a large number of light machine guns. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Within a few minutes, patches of Japanese corpses fell in front of the special operations detachment.
After repelling two brigade-sized attacks of the Japanese army in a row, Zhang Shanlin did not hesitate here. After ordering a brigade to cover, quickly lead the troops out of the battlefield.
"Baga, how can this be, how can there be so many Liaodong troops hidden around the heavy artillery brigade, and so many artillery pieces are equipped, is there a mistake with the heavy artillery brigade!" After hearing the news of the attack on the heavy artillery brigade, the Japanese commander was shocked but not convinced, and asked rhetorically with an incredulous expression.
The chief of staff was also speechless on this issue.
But after thinking about it, he still replied: "Commander, since the news was reported by the heavy artillery brigade, there should be nothing wrong." Now we must immediately figure out the losses of the heavy artillery brigade before we can make a judgment for the next battle. ”
"Yo Si." The expression on the commander's face slowly regained his composure from the shock just now.
Facing the chief of staff, he decisively ordered: "Contact the heavy artillery brigade immediately and quickly report the losses." Order the heavy artillery brigade to guard the troops, and be sure to find this mysterious Liaodong Army and destroy them! ”
In less than half an hour, a result that made the commander want to cry without tears appeared in front of him.
In just 100 seconds of artillery fire, the heavy artillery brigade lost a total of 28 heavy guns of various types, all of which were destroyed by the explosion of their own shells.
And what really frightened the brigade commander was not the loss of equipment, but the loss of soldiers.
A fully staffed heavy artillery brigade numbered more than 5,000 people, and nearly 4,000 men had lost more than 1,000 men in the artillery battle with the Liaodong Army.
What the commander did not expect was that so many gunners and ammunition men were almost wiped out in a rapid artillery attack in just one hundred seconds.
After the baptism of more than 3,000 shells, the entire heavy artillery position was like a slaughterhouse, full of corpses that had been blown to pieces by shells, bloody and very infiltrating.
Of the nearly 4,000 Japanese troops, except for less than 100 who survived by hiding under the corpses, all the rest were killed and injured by shells.
In this case, even if the heavy artillery brigade has two wings of heavy artillery, it loses its combat effectiveness because it does not have gunners and ammunition men.
"Baga, how could the casualties be so large, how did the Liaodong Army do it. Order the heavy artillery brigade to guard the troops, be sure to find them and destroy them! The commander with an angry face ordered loudly without thinking.
At this time, if Dashan Yan was here, he would definitely not order the Heavy Artillery Brigade Guard Wing to pursue.
Because, being able to lurk under the noses of tens of thousands of troops for so long, and then retreat after attacking their own heavy artillery brigades, such combat effectiveness directly proves to the Japanese army that the special operations detachment is an elite unit with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
In this case, let yourself be pursued by a guard wing that was about to be disabled by the special operations detachment, isn't that a clear burial of your own guard wing.
However, at this time, the commander didn't think about it so much at all.
The heavy artillery brigade lost its combat effectiveness all at once, and such a loss had already made him a little irrational, eager to take revenge, and vent the anger that had been suppressed in his heart.
After Zhang Shanlin, who was retreating, learned that the Japanese army dared to come to pursue, a sneer quickly flashed on his face, and he decisively left a brigade to clean up the disabled guard wing, and then took two brigades and mortars himself to chase after the main force.
The commander of the Heavy Artillery Brigade Guard Wing, who did not know that the whole army was not far from being wiped out because of his own order, had just calmed down a lot of anger, and the chief of staff, who was becoming more and more dangerous, reminded.
"The heavy artillery brigade lost its combat effectiveness, and the first three divisions and regiments could provide artillery cover with two field artillery wings. Commander, in order to prevent accidents, I propose to immediately order the three divisions of the front to stop the pursuit. ”
"Also, I think that the Liaodong Army took the initiative to retreat and mobilize our three divisions to pursue, exposing the heavy artillery brigade, and then being attacked and losing its combat effectiveness, this is simply a conspiracy, a conspiracy against our heavy artillery brigade!"
The military commander frowned and scolded loudly: "Baga, don't say it. Chief of Staff, I'm not going to retreat. Even without the heavy artillery brigade, we still have a strength advantage in front of the Liaodong Army. Moreover, the three divisions did not divide their troops, but pursued them in a group, what danger could there be! Chief of Staff, you are too filtered! ”
"Also, in the case of the loss of heavy artillery brigades, if we don't even wipe out a single regiment of the Liaodong Army, how can you let me report to the commander-in-chief, how can I gain a foothold in front of my colleagues and become the laughing stock of my colleagues?"
Zhang Shanlin took the main force of the special operations detachment, carrying mortars, and began to chase Yang Xingguo. Several scouts had already hurried to catch up with Yang Xingguo in advance and reported the good news that the special operations detachment had completed its mission.
"Well, the special operations detachment did a good job! Losing the heavy artillery brigade, I see how the Japanese troops who are pursuing us are still scolding. Chief of Staff, map, ran for so long, and now it's finally our turn to strike back. ”
Soon, a mountain beam not far from here attracted Yang Xingguo's attention. After clicking his finger on the map, he ordered very decisively: "That's it, Chief of Staff, immediately order Yuan Lei, who is at the forefront, to rely on this mountain beam to repair the blocking position, he only has two hours." Also, the 4th Regiment of the Heavy Artillery Division, which ordered to retreat in advance, quickly moved here, chose a suitable place to arrange artillery positions, and now it is our turn to take revenge! ”
"The rest of the troops, quickly concentrate here. If nothing else, we will have a decisive battle with the Japanese army here! ”
After the Liaodong Army had all crossed the defensive line that had been repaired by the Fifth Division, less than half an hour, a brigade of the Japanese advance guard entered the field of vision of the Fifth Division and the First Regiment.
Because there was a large amount of freshly dug up soil outside the Shanliang position, the pursuing Japanese army did not need to guess to know that there was a Liaodong Army blocking position in front.
In order to prevent the Liaodong Army from slipping out from under his nose, the captain launched a large-scale attack as soon as he came up.
Under the cover of 12 heavy machine guns, 7,800 Japanese troops with rifles and stragglers lined up, screaming and charging up the mountain beams.
Liang Yu, the commander of the Fifth Division and the First Regiment, was an old man who followed Yang Xingguo from the beginning.
Half a year ago, he was still a battalion commander, and after three months of study at the Liaodong Military Academy, coupled with his exploits in the last anti-encirclement and suppression, he was just promoted to the commander of a regiment a month ago.
Seeing that the Japanese army in front of him did not even have the least firepower to test it, he launched a group-sized charge as soon as he came up.
Liang Yu immediately regarded the seven or eight hundred Japanese soldiers as the fat meat that he had bitten into his mouth.
Because this was the first battle he fought after becoming the head of the regiment, Liang Yu was very excited.
Looking at the Japanese troops who were getting closer and closer to the position, while holding a meeting and walking around the position, he reminded in a low voice: "Stabilize me, no one can shoot in advance without my order." The main force of the Japanese army is still behind, and I want to completely annihilate the Japanese troops of this brigade. ”
"Mountain artillery battalion, aim at the Japanese heavy machine guns, and destroy them as soon as you start fighting!"
One hundred meters, seven or eight hundred Japanese troops had already rushed to the foot of the mountain beam, and after starting to feint on the mountain beam, Liang Yu, who was running back and forth in the position, finally stopped.
Lying in the trenches, he slowly raised his gun. (To be continued.) )
