Chapter 723 (continued)

The Sixth Brigade was tasked with breaking through the main attack on the Jinpu Road, and it was naturally the 16th Regiment of the Sect, that is, the original Independent 7th Regiment of the 3rd Independent Division of the Red Seventh Army Corps.

Yao Mingjun, head of the 16th Teaching Regiment, and Li Letian, political commissar of the 16th Regiment, were both deputy company commanders and deputy instructors of Liu Yimin at the time of the reorganization of Xiangjiang, and were members of the cadre team from the 18th Red Regiment to the Central Guard Division to the Red Seventh Army and then to the Eighth Route Army.

After accepting the mission, Yao Mingjun and Li Letian carefully studied the intelligence of the brigade reconnaissance company, communicated with the commander of the brigade artillery regiment on the issue of infantry and artillery coordination, and got in touch with the attack unit of the 2nd Brigade. Finally, considering the need to deal with the devil's light and dark fire points and armored patrol vehicles, Yao Mingjun applied to concentrate the bazooka group of the whole brigade in the 16th Regiment, preparing to tear through the defense line of the devil at once and cover the troops to rush through the Jinpu Road.

At this point, Zeng Zhongsheng and Zhang Hongtao were still not at ease, so they assigned the 3rd Air Defense Regiment to the command of the 16th Regiment of Jiao, giving full play to the power of the Gao Shi gun and the Gao Shi machine gun to ensure a breakthrough on the Jinpu Road in one fell swoop.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the reconnaissance company of the 6th Brigade and the reconnaissance platoon of the 16th Regiment of the Regiment, together with the observers of the brigade artillery regiment, went to the side of the Jinpu road to conduct the last reconnaissance of the Japanese positions and mark the targets of artillery shelling.

At one o'clock in the morning, the Great Plains was silent, with only the patrol convoys of the Xiǎo Devils shuttling back and forth on the road, the Devils' armored vehicles patrolling the railways, and the searchlights in the strongholds flickering around.

At this time, the two artillery regiments of the Second Brigade and the Sixth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army opened fire, and in an instant, mines broke out on the ground, and groups of shells swept across the silent night sky, smashing towards the devil's defense line, and blowing up the deer and fire points on the devil's defense line.

Yao Mingjun and Li Letian glanced at each other and shouted loudly: "Hit the signal flare, blow the trumpet, and the whole regiment will attack Jinpu Road!" ”

Three signal flares rose into the air, and immediately after, the nine trumpeters of the 16th Regiment lined up and blew in the direction of Jinpu Road, and the crisp, loud, and piercing trumpets echoed in the night sky, encouraging the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to rush towards the devil's defense line.

Li Dexian, commander of the first battalion and one company of the Sixth Brigade, was captured by the Gui army after the battle of Gulingtou, who was captured by the Red Army. After joining the Red Army, because of his cultural knowledge and the Guijun Teaching Team, he had a high tactical quality, stood out in the ranks of the Red Army, accumulated merit and was promoted to company commander, and now he is a veritable old Red Army and the old Eighth Road.

As the sharp knife unit of the 16th Regiment, Li Dexian and his company of soldiers had already reached 1,000 meters of the devil's defense line. When the cannon sounded, Li Dexian led the soldiers out of the hidden place and headed towards the devil's defense line. He wanted to use the time of the shelling to minimize the distance from the devil's line.

When the shelling was extended, the charge horn sounded, and Li Dexian jumped up and shouted: "Form an infantry squad battle formation, follow me!" After shouting, he took the lead in rushing towards the devil's defense line.

The Sixth Brigade is the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which participates in martial arts competitions every year, and the individual tactics of the soldiers are perfect. You see them charging, it's different from ** charging, the formation is evacuated, the covering fire is extremely dense, and the soldiers take advantage of the terrain and features, and the cats run quickly with their waists. After running for a while, jump into the crater, observe the changes in the enemy situation, organize a shè attack, cover the follow-up troops to follow, and wait for the follow-up fire to keep up with the start of the shè attack cover before jumping forward. The entire offensive formation is like a triangular arrow, with the front and back jiāo covering the screen, smooth as flowing clouds.

When there were still 100 meters away from the devil's defense line, Li Dexian was about to give the order to speed up the assault, when the machine gun of the devil rang out, and when he rushed to the front platoon, several fighters were knocked down, and the troops were suppressed.

Li Dexian saw that a devil's hidden fort was blocking in front of him, and a Tǐng Type 92 heavy machine gun was frantically spewing tongues of fire, and the bullets crackled.

Li Dexian was furious, turned around and shouted: "Bazooka, go on, knock out the devil's firepower for Lao Tzu." ”

Two fighters of the bazooka group of a company came out from behind, rolled a few times, jumped into a crater, and set up the bazooka in three strokes and five divisions. Hearing a bang, a rocket dragged a long glowing tail into the devil's bunker, and dumbed down the devil's bunker firepower. The warriors jumped to their feet and continued to charge forward.

Seeing that the first company was about to break through the first road blockade line of the Japanese army, a group of devil xiǎo patrol convoys came from a distance, motorcycles, armored vehicles, and cars turned on their headlights, and the machine guns on the cars rattled and splashed bullets, trying to reinforce the devils at the breakthrough of the Eighth Route Army and block the Eighth Route Army back to the Jilu border.

The xiǎo devil is also really brave, the Eighth Route Army used two artillery regiments to bombard, and they didn't ask what size of the force this was, a Xiǎo patrol convoy came to reinforce it, this is purely to send the results of the Eighth Route Army's artillery and air defense!

Zeng Zhongsheng and Zhang Hongtao's purpose in assigning the Third Air Defense Brigade to the 16 th Regiment was to give full play to the advantages of high artillery and high machine guns, such as high artillery and high machine guns, and to smash all the firepower points such as devil tanks, armored vehicles, railway armored patrol cars, and hidden bunkers that blocked our army's advance, so as to open up a channel for our army's advance.

Since the xiǎo devil was coming to send him to death, the third air defense regiment that followed behind the 16th regiment of the sect was naturally not polite, and a burst of high shè machine guns flattened shè, turning the xiǎo devil reinforcement convoy into scrap metal.

After breaking through the first blockade line, the xiǎo devils on the Jinpu Railway panicked, set off flares, illuminated the open field in front of the position, and all the remaining infantry fire was opened, weaving a fire net in front of the advance road of the first company, in an attempt to stop the advance of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Jinpu Road defense line has been in operation for a while, where will they know where the Eighth Route Army is going to break through? The forces will inevitably be dispersed.

The Eighth Route Army was determined to win, selected a certain point, concentrated artillery fire and beat it fiercely, and the attacking troops were like an awl, stretching out to the devil's defense line. Where can the xiǎo devil stop it!

The devils set off flares, and the Eighth Route Army also lit flares, which were all captured by xiǎo devils, and it was just right to use them on xiǎo devils. In this way, the breakthrough point of the Eighth Route Army of the Jinpu Road defense line of the Xiǎo Devil was as bright as day, and the observers of the Sixth Brigade Artillery Regiment and the Second Brigade Artillery Regiment were busy, constantly reporting the shelling parameters to the artillery positions, guiding the artillery to wake up and strike fiercely and accurately, ravaging the railway defense line of the Xiǎo Devil like a rag, a fragment in the east and a broken in the west, and the defense system collapsed.

When the company rushed across Jinpu Road, the armored patrol car from the direction of Dexian arrived in a hurry. At this time, the soldiers of the bazooka group and the third air defense regiment were addicted, and the high shells and rockets drilled straight into the stomach of the Xiǎo devil armored patrol car, killing all the shells in the car, and the entire armored patrol car became an unusually dazzling fireball.

Successfully breaking through the defense line of Xiǎo Devil Jinpu Road was something that Yao Mingjun and Li Letian expected. Joke, such a powerful firepower, such a brave army, if you can't break the defense line of the xiǎo devil, the xiǎo devil's defense line is really impregnable! This is obviously impossible.

Yao Mingjun and Li Letian immediately commanded the troops to launch an attack on both flanks, widening the gap, and firing signal flares to notify the follow-up troops to pass quickly.

Seeing that the 16th Regiment of the Sect had successfully opened the gap, Zhang Hongtao urgently ordered the 17th Regiment and the 16th Regiment of the Sect, which were closely following the advance of the 16th Regiment, to attack the Japanese army in the south and north, widening the gap, and ordered Di Yidong and Zhao Mingxin to lead the two new regiments to quickly pass through the Japanese defense line, and ordered the 3rd Air Defense Regiment, the Artillery Regiment, the Brigade Heavy Battalion, the Engineer Battalion, the Heavy Machine Gun Battalion and other directly subordinate troops to run and follow up, and personally led the 18th Regiment and the cavalry battalion to the rear.

After Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong led the third battalion of guards through the Japanese defense line on Jinpu Road, Zhang Hongtao ordered the 18th Regiment and the cavalry battalion to retreat quickly.

The vast night, boundless and fertile, covering the return of the main force of the Eighth Route Army to the sea, and the Second Brigade responsible for receiving it.

The 40th Division was transferred from Jinan to take charge of the defense of the Dexian section.

Lieutenant General Naojiro Amatani, commander of the 40th Division, was extremely depressed for the past two days, for no other reason, that is, he could only stare dryly as the heavy army group swept across the Jilu border.

Naojiro Amaya, a native of Fukui Prefecture, Japan, is also a graduate of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the Army University, and has served as the captain of the Second Independent Garrison Brigade, the commander of the Utsunomiya Wing District, the commander of the 10th Infantry Brigade, and the principal of the Sendai Army Reserve Non-commissioned Officer School.

Since entering the North China Battlefield, Naojiro Amaya and his 40th Division have always served as local garrisons, rarely fighting the main force of the Eighth Route Army. In his mind, after such a long period of training, the combat effectiveness of the 40th Division has risen rapidly, and it is fully capable of field operations, but it is a pity that the front army headquarters did not give him a chance. This time to reinforce Dexian, according to Naojiro Amatani's idea, relying on the 32nd, 40th, 41st and other three divisions, it can sweep the Jilu border. Unexpectedly, General Shanshan Yuan ignored his enthusiasm and determination to fight, played a lot of tricks, transferred so many troops to assault Jilubian, and still let him serve as a garrison. Whenever he thinks of this verse, Lieutenant General Naojiro Amaya sighs that foreign monks will recite sutras. Leaving the three divisions on the Jinpu Road unused, but seeking the near and far, and transferring the Jīng Rui Division from the farther area to carry out the Jilu border attack battle, it is simply not a cost, and it is not appropriate to take the money of the Japanese treasury.

Naojiro Amaya was depressed for a while every time he received a telegram, hating that he should not be the lieutenant general of the 40th Division, which was not on the table. This is good, I can only honestly guard the line of defense and watch others kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!

After receiving the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Jinpu Road defense line between the Laojian River and the Maji River in the south of Dexian County, Naojiro Tiangu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and the heavy army group implemented an iron wall encirclement on the Jilu side, but he did not expect that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was hidden under his nose and suddenly launched an attack.

Dear book friends: I was going to do more today, but suddenly there was an urgent reception mission, and the mountain people had to go out. Fortunately, the guests will leave tomorrow morning, and the mountain people can write with peace of mind. Please support you! Thank you!
