Chapter 334: The Whole Army Destroyed?
Just when the two Japanese co-captains were about to bet all their chips and break through the defense line of the Liaodong Army in one fell swoop. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Thousands of Liaodong troops have launched a final general offensive against the remnants of the Japanese army on the battlefield.
Zhao Zhigang was not worried about the remnants of Lao Maozi left on the battlefield.
Because, these remnants are all in small teams, scattered on the battlefield that stretches for two kilometers, and the troops are very scattered.
In addition, the Liaodong Army beat them with six or seven thousand men, less than a thousand. Both in terms of strength and firepower, there was a decisive overwhelming superiority.
In this case, there are less than a thousand remnants left in the ambush circle, except for being passively beaten and waiting for death, they can't set off any big waves worthy of Zhao Zhigang's attention.
As a result, the hundreds of people around the two wing commanders of the Japanese army became the focus of Zhao Zhigang's attention.
When he saw that this Japanese army was actually equipped with more than 20 heavy machine guns, and there were 500 people on board, they launched an attack on the first battalion of the Ninth Regiment.
Zhao Zhigang immediately realized that the first battalion was about to run into trouble.
In order to avoid the entire ambush from slipping through the net, Zhao Zhigang immediately ordered the reserve guard battalion to quickly reinforce the first battalion of the Ninth Regiment with a hundred grenades. At the same time, the general offensive, which began only five minutes later, was brought forward to the present.
Because Zhao Zhigang was too far away from the first battalion, and there was no radio or telephone to remotely control the first battalion.
As the division commander, Zhao Zhigang could only watch the Japanese attack the first battalion with strong firepower. At the same time, I prayed in my heart that the guard battalion would arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible, and together with the same battalion, block the Japanese troops.
As soon as the general attack of the Third Division of the Liaodong Army against the Japanese army began, the commander of the Japanese army knew that the time left for him by the Liaodong Army was running out.
Sure enough, as soon as the Liaodong Army rushed to the official road, a company killed him in the back.
As time passed, more and more Liaodong troops began to kill themselves.
In this way, if you can't open the breakthrough yet, you will face the Liaodong Army in front and back, and divide a part of your forces to block the Liaodong Army behind you.
When the time comes, you will be exhausted. There were not enough troops and firepower to break through.
Thus, the general attack of the main force of the 3rd Division against the Japanese army began, and the second attack of the Japanese army on the 1st Battalion of the 9th Regiment also began.
More than 500 Japanese troops, the same as just now. Under the cover of heavy machine guns, with a hideous face and a rifle, he easily rushed to a position of 100 meters in front of the first battalion.
Because the grenade, the killer weapon of close combat, has been completely exhausted.
The first battalion commander is no matter how capable and bold he is. They did not dare to put the Japanese troops thirty meters down, and the opponent's heavy machine guns stopped firing before counterattacking.
Therefore, as soon as the Japanese rushed to a position of 100 meters in front of the formation, the battalion commander ordered to shoot a counterattack.
The counterattack was carried out under the suppression of the fire of more than 20 heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, and the results can be imagined.
Many soldiers had just picked up their rifles and fired bullets, and before they could squat down to hide, they were beaten into a hornet's nest by heavy machine gun bullets fired by the Japanese army.
As for the light and heavy machine guns, because they were taken care of by the Japanese heavy machine guns, each time they fired four or five bullets, the light and heavy machine gunners were hit by bullets. Collapsed in the trenches.
In less than half a minute, at least three machine gunner corpses had fallen from each light and heavy machine gun position.
When the Japanese rushed forty or fifty meters in front of the first battalion, they were about to rush to the edge of the fire cover of their heavy machine guns.
Only 500 Japanese troops lost more than 100 people.
As for the 1st battalion, which was protected by a defensive position, it lost more than 150 men in front and behind.
At this moment, the entire battalion added up to only about two hundred people.
In the face of the Japanese troops close at hand, even if he knew that the Japanese heavy machine guns that had been pressing on him were about to cease fire, the commander of the first battalion was not happy at all.
In the eyes of the battalion commander, even if the Japanese army's heavy machine guns were fired, in the face of more than 400 Japanese troops close at hand, with the current strength of the first battalion. It could not stop the Japanese attack.
However, in order to keep these Japanese troops in front of him in the ambush circle, even though he knew that his future was bleak, the commander of the first battalion still ordered with a serious face: "Brothers. All ready for battle...... Even if you die, you have to stop these devils......"
Thirty meters, when the two armies still had the last thirty meters, the heavy machine guns provided fire cover by the Japanese finally stopped.
A battalion of 200 men remained, so we immediately seized the time and used all the weapons at hand to destroy as many Japanese troops as possible.
But. There were still three or four hundred Japanese troops to pass through, and no matter how hard they tried, in just a dozen seconds, they could only inflict more than 100 casualties on the Japanese army.
In the end, the remaining 200 Japanese troops successfully entered the position of the first battalion and strangled with the first battalion.
At this time, there were 200 men left in the first battalion, although they tried their best to drive the Japanese army down.
However, when their strength and combat effectiveness were inferior to those of the Japanese army, they were directly defeated and retreated, and the casualties continued to increase.
On the other hand, the Japanese army, except for the beginning when the officers of the Liaodong Army continued to inflict casualties on them with pistols and light machine guns, the Japanese army suffered almost no casualties during the entire stabbing process.
Seeing that his troops were fighting fewer and fewer, the morale of his troops became more and more depressed.
The opponent Japanese army is getting stronger and stronger, and the battalion commander knows that as long as there is no accident, at most five minutes, this close-range battle will be over. If you own a battalion, it will end with the annihilation of the whole army.
Just when the battalion commander's face was slowly covered with despair, the whole person was like a killing god, and when he was rushing to kill in the middle of the Japanese army, a shout of killing suddenly sounded behind the battalion commander, and then, a crackling pistol shooting sound reached the battalion commander's ears.
The proportion of guard units equipped with pistols is higher than that of ordinary troops.
All officers above the squad level were armed with Mauser pistols, and the entire guard battalion was added up, that is, more than fifty pistols.
As soon as so many officers of the guard battalion armed with Mauser pistols entered the battlefield, they suppressed the increasingly powerful offensive momentum of the Japanese army.
In the blink of an eye, less than 100 Japanese soldiers were killed by the officers of the guard battalion.
And the guard battalion plus the remnants of a battalion still have six or seven hundred people.
Six or seven Liaodong armies against one Japanese army, no matter how powerful the Japanese army with heavy losses is, it can't escape death.
Besides, on the bloody battlefield, in addition to riflemen, there were also officers of the guard battalion who held pistols and constantly named the Japanese army.
Five minutes later, the brutal battle was over.
The difference is that the Liaodong Army, which should have been wiped out, was replaced by the Japanese army at this time.
Of the more than 500 Japanese troops who launched an attack on the first battalion, not a single one of them escaped the net, and all of them were wiped out.
The battle was over, and the guard battalion had no intention of stopping.
With a dozen machine guns in the head, they roared and launched an attack on the two Japanese wing commanders.
Prepare to eliminate the two captains of the Japanese army in one blow and end the battle once and for all.
The commander of the Japanese wing, who was a few hundred meters away, experienced excitement, worry, and despair in just a few minutes...... A variety of complex emotions. (To be continued.) )
