Chapter 263: Attack, Encirclement and Reinforcements
After the nailing of another steel rail was finished, Jiang Junfeng and Wang Guihua stepped forward to participate, and the old grandson reached out to persuade them, "You women comrades move sleepers, this object is also very heavy." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Wang Guihua picked up a sleeper, deliberately walked in front of Zhou Baozi, and glanced at him. Only then did the sleepers be carried down the roadbed and stacked on the pile of sleepers below.
"Boom, boom, boom......" explosions came and went, like bursts of thunder, sounding in the distance.
Although the sound of gunfire is no stranger to everyone, it is the first time that such a violent loud noise has been heard, and their faces all show a look of surprise.
"Cannons, the Eighth Route Army also has cannons." The surprise quickly disappeared from Jiang Junfeng's face, and was replaced by excitement and joy.
"It's exciting." Wang Guihua stretched out her hand and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and looked into the distance, "Now, the Eighth Route Army is going to beat the little devil miserably!" ”
"That's not our Eighth Route Army." Zhou Baozi couldn't help but interject again, "You don't know ......"
Well! The old grandson made a sound at the right time, and his stern gaze made Zhou Baozi close his mouth, sneered, and squatted down with a few guys to lift another rail.
"Not the Eighth Route Army?" Wang Guihua wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Zhou Baozi had already walked away.
Jiang Junfeng somewhat understood, it turned out that the rules of the Eighth Route Army had not changed, and the female soldier was not from the Eighth Route Army.
…………..
The Eighth Route Army dared to launch an attack on a fortified stronghold close to the railway, which greatly surprised the devils.
The battle first started from the stronghold of Xinzhuang Town, a squad of devils, the Eighth Route Army attacked with two battalions, and the Yellow River detachment blocked the reinforcements, which opened the prelude to the encirclement and reinforcement.
The devils stationed in Yanji Town and Huangkou Town, two important places on the railway, sent reinforcements, totaling five or six hundred people. These two reinforcements, traveling in cars and quickly reinforcing along the road, fought against the blocking forces of the Yellow River Detachment, and did not make much effort to achieve a breakthrough.
In the eyes of the devil, the stronghold of Xinzhuang Town has not yet been lost, reinforcements are coming quickly, and the Eighth Route Army that has hit the stronghold hard seems to have been certain. But they did not expect that less than five miles from Xinzhuang Town, they would be surrounded by a much stronger army.
The situation changed so quickly that the devil was caught off guard and did not understand what was happening.
First of all, with the support of infantry artillery, battle defense artillery, and other artillery carried by the New Seventh Army, the firepower of the attack on the stronghold was suddenly unprecedentedly fierce. The number of the Eighth Route Army besieging the stronghold also suddenly multiplied, and the intensity of the attack suddenly increased. In a very short period of time, the defenders of a small group lost their turrets and pillboxes, and suffered most of the casualties, leaving only more than 20 remnants of the army to resist stubbornly in the corner, completely losing the strength to attack.
Secondly, the blocking on the opposite side has become tougher, the enemy's number is increasing, the firepower is increasing, and it is difficult for the devils to easily make a breakthrough.
In less than an hour, the situation deteriorated again, and the communication with the defenders of the stronghold was cut off, which meant that there was more luck than luck, and the goal of breaking the siege or meeting the division was already difficult to achieve. And around the two devil reinforcements, more Chinese* troops appeared, and they seemed to be in a state of encirclement.
"Boom, boom, boom......" The continuous shell bombardment smashed directly on the artillery position of the devils, and most of the artillery brought by the rapid reinforcements were destroyed in an instant.
Just this round of shelling made the devil realize the dangerous situation and the strength of the enemy he had to face. This is by no means the intensity of firepower that the Eighth Route Army can have, as well as the level of artillery.
However, the devils woke up late, and as soon as they besieged and attacked, a brigade of the 25th Division of the New Seventh Army concentrated most of the artillery fire of the whole division, and under the fierce bombardment of the 82 mortars and 60 mortars, the infantry followed the attack closely and attacked the more than 300 devils reinforced from Yankou Town with all their might.
Under the cover of artillery and machine-gun fire, the New Seventh Army and the Eighth Route Army rushed out of the ambush like a tiger and pounced on the devils in the encirclement. The sound of killing shook the sky, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, the explosion of grenades, the impact of bayonets, and the howls of devils.
Taking advantage of the smoke and dust from the shells, coupled with the cover of night, the artillerymen carried thunder canisters to bombard the area. A few high-powered artillery shells quickly smashed the eastern flank defense line arranged by the devils on the spot, and the New Seventh Army took the lead in making a breakthrough, and a large number of infantry poured in from the breakthrough to divide and encircle the devils.
Fierce and accurate artillery fire, sharp offensive breakthroughs, the combined use of small arms, the offensive formation of squads and platoons, and the support of artillery at any time......
Yang Yong, commander of the Luxi Military Region, held a telescope, carefully observed the battle situation, and made an analysis and evaluation.
The area of the battlefield is not large, and the devils are still so stubborn and tenacious, but they have lost the artillery fire they have always relied on, and the number of people is even more at an absolute disadvantage. The battle is still raging, but the devils are being divided into pieces, then into small pieces again, and finally completely destroyed.
If the Eighth Route Army had such artillery support, as well as sufficient ammunition, it would also have fought well and fiercely. Yang Yong sighed secretly in his heart, feeling helpless.
Not to mention other artillery, let's just talk about the simplest structure of the thunder canister, the Eighth Route Army can make it, but the explosives used in the shells are really not something they can afford to consume.
Well, there is also this tactical play, the formation is unfolded, and it is also quite unique and effective. Yang Yong had been in battle for a long time, and he quickly saw the difference between the New Seventh Army and other troops.
It is worth learning and borrowing. Although the Eighth Route Army tried to avoid confronting the devils head-on because of its equipment, ambushes like this were often used. It's just that the Eighth Route Army will change its offensive mode because of firepower and ammunition.
Despite this, Yang Yong continued to give orders, ordering the troops to rush bravely and not let the friendly troops look down on them.
The trumpet of the total attack sounded. Mortars, machine guns, rifles, and grenades fired more fiercely, and the two anti-Japanese armies attacked the devils more bravely, as if shouting and competing.
Here, the Chinese people's stubborn will to destroy the invaders and their determination to take revenge in full swing are fully manifested. The sound of explosions, gunshots, and shouts of killing all seem to be shouting and cheering!
In the cold wind of early winter, the tongue of fire that throbbed the soul flickered everywhere, the smell of gunpowder that choked people everywhere, and the smell of scorched smoke and blood everywhere that forced people to breathe. The trumpet of victory, ticking and ticking, sounded everywhere and resounded throughout the earth.
The final battle was not as hard as Yang Yong imagined, and for the stubborn resistance of the last large group of devils, the New Seventh Army used incendiary bombs, turning the devils' position into a sea of fire.
Half a minute later, the flames gradually extinguished, and the flying thunder cannon opened the way, and then the heavy machine guns suppressed the cover, and the infantry armed with light machine guns and shotguns attacked in a three-three formation. Although not particularly proficient and not very well coordinated, this formation is still more beneficial than the skirmishers. (To be continued.) )
