"Boom, boom, boom!"
When Chen Xudong and Lu Ming were talking, Fang An's side began to attack, unlike the previous time, this time the attack of the first battalion was obviously much more violent.
Although the first batch of attacking troops was only more than 100 people, almost everyone had a light machine gun or submachine gun in their hands, and the powerful automatic fire suppressed the devil soldiers on the Japanese position, and they couldn't even lift their heads.
At the same time, the shelling of the rear artillery battalions did not stop. The Japanese position in Huangqi Town was once again shrouded in flames, violent explosions came and went, and from time to time there were ghost soldiers who were blown out one by one.
Under the suppression of strong firepower, the fighters of the first echelon of the 1st battalion quickly moved to the front of the Japanese and other positions. To the surprise of Chen Xudong and others, who were watching the battle from the rear, even though the soldiers of the first echelon had rushed to a place less than 50 meters from the Japanese position, the artillery shelling still did not stop, and it became more and more fierce.
Chen Xudong, Lu Ming and others could even see through the telescope that the landing point of the shell explosion was less than 30 meters away from the soldiers in the front, and the shrapnel could directly hit their own people.
"Ask what is going on with the artillery battalion, don't you know that our troops are also on the position?" Chen Xudong asked loudly.
"Political commissar, maybe this is what Fang An's kid meant, you know our artillery battalion commander, it's the old Red Army who has been fighting from Jiangxi with the commander, he is calm and very experienced in combat, he is not the kind of person who doesn't care about his own life and death, if it weren't for Fang An's own requirements. How could he fire without any scruples? Lu Ming.
"Well, then you have to ask, don't make a mistake!" Chen Xudong said.
"Okay, I'll send someone over!" After saying that, Lu Ming asked his guards to hurry over and ask what was going on.
Soon the guards returned, and then reported: "Report to the political commissar, brigade commander, battalion commander Wang reported." It was the battalion commander who called him and asked him to do so, and the battalion commander was ready to advance the battlefield directly to the Japanese positions under the cover of artillery fire......"
Chen Xudong nodded and said: "Good one, it's our Suicha Military Region's species!" ”
Lu Ming also said with emotion: "When we were in the prisoner of war camp before, we heard that the Eighth Route Army had an extremely strong combat unit, and the little devils who fought it could not be defeated. At that time, all of us thought that the Eighth Route Army was bragging, which could not be true, it was definitely the Eighth Route Army boasting, and for this reason, we even insulted each other with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the prisoner of war camp. ”
"But since we joined the Eighth Route Army, I've really seen what an elite monster is, what a predator is. Our armament, although, is no worse than that of the Japanese. But it's not much better. The physique of the soldiers is even worse than that of the Japanese, but the reason why we can beat the Japanese again and again is not because of how clever our commanders are, but because we have such a group of fighters who dare to fight and fight, precisely because they dare to fight and are good at dedication, not only cruel to the enemy, but also cruel to themselves, and never flinch when it is time to sacrifice. They are the most admired people in the world. ”
Chen Xudong looked at Lu Ming, then nodded and said, "Old deer." I'm really glad that you can say such things, it shows that you have completely and truly integrated into our army, and it seems that the commander is not wrong about you! ”
"Well, when I first joined the Eighth Route Army, I occasionally thought about the old army and Yan Dashuai. But since joining the Eighth Route Army. I found that this was the ideal unit for me. Everyone here is not fighting for promotion, wealth, and promotion, but for ideals. This struck me, just like these soldiers charging on the battlefield, they didn't pick up their guns and rush to the enemy's position because of Fang An's order, but because they knew what they were fighting for. Even if you die on the battlefield, you have no regrets! It was precisely because I was used to seeing such scenes that I couldn't help but be attracted by their lovely group of people, and finally stayed here with all my heart! Lu Ming.
At this time, the shocked people were far more than Chen Xudong and others, and the supreme commander of the Japanese army who commanded the battle in Huangqi Town was also shocked. He originally thought that such a dangerous attack method would only be used by their iron-clad Great Japanese Imperial Army, and only His Majesty's warriors would have such fearless courage, but he didn't expect that the people on the other side would dare to do so.
In addition to being anxious, Sukegawa Shinichi hurriedly ordered his artillery squadron to open fire on the Eighth Route Army, which was charging at the front, but because the distance between the two sides was less than 50 meters, shells fell on the Japanese army's own positions from time to time.
At this time, the Chinese artillery stopped attacking, and at the same time, the Eighth Route Army, which had rushed less than 30 meters in front of the Japanese position, quickly pulled the grenade in its hand, and then threw it into the Japanese trench with all its strength.
At a distance of thirty meters, even a girl can throw a grenade into the enemy's position. In addition, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army like to delay grenades for two to three seconds before throwing them out, so many grenades explode when they are about to land, and the power is increased by three percent.
After only a violent explosion, there was a deathly silence on the Japanese position, and the little devils on the forward position were stunned by the sudden blow. At this moment, a battalion attacked, and all the fighters rushed into the Japanese positions, and dense fire was hammered on the remnants of the Japanese troops. The Japanese infantry, who had not yet recovered from the explosion just now, could not organize an effective counterattack at all, and was instantly assaulted into the trench by a battalion of soldiers armed with machine guns.
Subsequently, the follow-up units of the 1st Battalion quickly followed up and supported the first echelon to continue the assault into the interior of the Japanese position. The commander of the 1st Regiment seized the opportunity to order the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to follow up immediately, reinforcing the battle of the 1st Battalion, and after half an hour of hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese troops in the forward positions retreated wisely, and at this time it was less than an hour and a half before the general offensive was launched.
In less than an hour and a half, the first line of defense collapsed on the whole line, which shocked the commander of the 16th Wing of the Second Division, Sukegawa Shinichisa, and had to command the troops to retreat to the second line of defense, and the second line of defense is also the last line of defense of the Japanese army.
In order to deal with the Eighth Route Army, which may advance eastward at any time, His Excellency Yasui placed the two most effective wings of the division in Fengning and Longhua counties, of which their 16th Wing guarded Fengning and the Fourth Wing guarded Longhua.
Originally, in the opinion of His Excellency Toji Yasui, the two wings of more than 7,000 people, plus the three infantry brigades of the Imperial Allied Army and one brigade of cavalry, engineer and artillery directly under the division, the total strength of the Imperial Army on this line exceeded 20,000 people, and it was impossible for the people of China to break through the defense line of the Imperial Army in a short time.
But now it seems that the problem is extremely serious, and Huangqi Town, which originally thought that it could hold on for at least three days and three nights, has now lost the most important line of defense in just over an hour after the battle, and if it continues to fight like this, his troops may not even be able to hold out until dawn, and they may be broken by the Zhina.
The most important thing is that the main force of the 16th Wing is stationed in Huangqi Town, and there is only one infantry brigade and one infantry regiment of the Imperial Association Army in Fengning City.
Moreover, Miyamoto Shaoza, who had just commanded the front-line operation, reported that after the confrontation just now, his troops had lost more than 800 people, and the Imperial Allied Army that cooperated with the operation also suffered heavy casualties, losing nearly 1,000 people, and almost one-third of the troops were gone.
The only fortunate thing is that the people of China also paid a very heavy price, with at least 400 bodies left on the battlefield, plus the wounded, the loss should be no less than 1,000 people. But seeing the steady stream of dirt eight roads, Sukegawa Osa couldn't be happy. (To be continued.) )
