Chapter 65: The Devil's Barricade
Seeing these two regiment leaders talking lively, Zhang Erxiao's face turned red and white. In the end, it was the scout experience that helped him stabilize his mind.
"Ahem, what are you two going to do. Do you want to carry out the orders of the division? Don't want to mix it up, do you? Get out! "What strategy to use when dealing with whomever you want, you can't treat these two old thieves with a pleasant face, the more you respect them, the more energetic these two guys will be, or give them a ruthless hand to work!
Sure enough, the two commanders, when they saw that the brigade seat had a tendency to turn their faces, immediately became hippie and smiling, and after raising their hands and saluting the military, the two went out to rectify the troops.
Zhang Erxiao scratched his head, left the brigade headquarters, and went to the front to command the troops in person. This battle has to drag down the enemy, but also not let their own family have any damage, this must be well arranged.
Ito Osa already had a guard against the ambush traps of the squadron ** in his heart, but there was no way, his eighteenth wing was basically destroyed in these traps, and it was impossible to make him defenseless. When the Japanese army came out of the city, they did not go from the north of the town, nor did they go south of the town, but went directly out of the east of the town, and then made a big detour and turned onto the main road to Xinyang.
To the north of the town, it is the only way to Xinyang, and the squadron is likely to have dug a trap; To the south of the town is where he retreated in the first place, and he is not sure if there will be a trap, but if he is facing the east or the west, maybe he will be fine!
Ito Osa really bet on the insurance this time. To the south and north of the town, Zhang Erxiao really dug traps, especially on the road north of the town, which created a lot of exquisite ambushes, who knew that the cunning devil was not fooled, and he actually dodged it! Zhang Erxiao was disappointed, so he had to order the troops to follow and pursue behind.
The independent brigade pursued behind, and under normal circumstances, Ito Osa should have sent a number of broken rear troops to solve the troubles in the rear. Who knows, this time, Ito Osa didn't stop his progress towards Xinyang no matter how rampant the harassment behind him was.
The order given by General Nokan to Osa was too embarrassing. When the squadron defeats Xinyang's garrison, the general will remove him from his post and try him by military law! How did he know how long the garrisons of Xinyang City would last? Now Ito Nobuyoshi, except for being in a hurry or in a hurry, he has no second way!
Letting a brigade of the squadron shoot black guns and black artillery in the back, Ito Osa, in addition to sending out a team to cover the back road, led his army to rush towards Xinyang City all the time, he must rush to Xinyang before the defenders are defeated!
Xinyang City, the Japanese garrison brigade in the city took the headquarters compound as the center and laid a ring of defense lines in a vain attempt to block the attacking squadron. Scattered in the city, there is no time to rush to the scattered Japanese troops near the compound There is no hope for them, and those people have all been basically wiped out by the people led by Gao Quan and Qian Sixi, even if some of them are still resisting for the time being, they are not far from being completely finished. The safety of Xinyang City can only rely on these more than 1,000 Japanese troops gathered around the compound.
The 201 Brigade launched a fierce attack when it came up. A mortar, first the defending Japanese bombardment, and then the entire battalion of the squadron launched a group charge against the devils. Too close, in addition to using mortars, heavy artillery is no longer used, this is in the city, the power of heavy artillery is too great, one is not good, it is likely to blow up this part of the city, all of them into ruins, this is China's own city, of course the soldiers can not use this kind of weapon with too much destructive power.
The devils fought back desperately with their grenadiers, and the light and heavy machine guns were blaring non-stop. Our heavy artillery can't be used, and the devil's heavy artillery is also not good at exerting its power. Although the devil doesn't care about the integrity of the city, but now that the two armies are too close, it is not convenient for the devil's infantry artillery to use.
The devils built barricades with sandbags on all the streets around the headquarters, and dozens of machine guns were erected on the four-story building of the headquarters. This is the brigade headquarters of the Japanese army, not to mention anything else, that is, there are enough weapons and ammunition.
There was a barricade outside the north gate of the headquarters with the most firepower, the large barricade was nearly 50 meters long, and five heavy machine guns and three grenadiers were placed in the barricade, and one barricade almost blocked half of the headquarters.
Wang Jiantang commanded the troops to attack for half an hour, and the soldiers sacrificed hundreds, but there was still nothing they could do about the barricade. The barricade was like Guan Yu in the Huarong Dao game, firmly blocking the attack path of the 504th Regiment. The mortars went in, and the sandbags flew around, but as soon as the shelling stopped, the devils were able to make up for the collapsed barricades in the first place! I don't know how many sandbags the devils have prepared here.
"Old thief, you go!" Wang Jiantang looked at all the troops under his command and took a fancy to the old thief at a glance. The performance of this veteran in recent times is quite eye-catching, not to mention his rich combat experience, the key is that when this guy commands a company to conduct local battles, he always has outstanding performance, Wang Jiantang has already reported him to the brigade seat, and the next step is to promote him to be the deputy battalion commander.
"Yes!" The old thief saluted neatly, and rushed forward with his troops.
The devil's firepower was indeed too fierce, and the old thief was already very careful, but he still found the devil's machine gun more than 100 meters away from the devil's barricade, and more than a dozen brothers died on the spot, and a platoon of soldiers was pressed into several craters and could not move. How can this work? The old thief rolled his eyes and looked around carefully, there was not even a commanding height in this vicinity, no wonder no snipers came to help.
"Plum, how's it going?" The old thief crawled up to a warrior holding a spear and asked uncertainly. This is the sharpshooter in his company, with a 38 big cover in his hand, within 150 meters, there is no missing bullet, and it is a sharp weapon for the old thief to attack the city.
"No, I can't. The devils are so cunning that they can't see people at all. Li Zi shook his head helplessly. No matter how good a sharpshooter is, he always has to see the enemy to fight, and he can't even see half of the enemy's head, how can he fight?
The old thief also sent people to try to throw grenades, but his company was just an ordinary infantry company, and there was no god pitcher in the company. The god pitcher in the reconnaissance battalion is just a legendary existence, and the old thief has not seen it, and there is no one in his company. At a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, a grenade simply can't be thrown that far!
What to do? Even if the old thief is used to seeing life and death and doesn't take human life seriously, even if he fills in all the brothers in the company, he won't be able to rush into the fortress of the devil!
"Yu Datou, give me a beating! Shoot all your precious cannonballs! Damn, I don't believe in blowing up these turtle sons! ”
The old thief was ruthless, and pulled up the mortar in his company, but he couldn't rush through, so what's the use of asking for so many shells?
