Chapter 412: Attacking the Baisha Stronghold (2)
Just as Kameda was pacing around the house, guessing the true purpose of the New Fourth Army, suddenly, a fierce gunfire rang out in Kitayama, and he was suddenly startled in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because the sound of the gunfire and the explosion was very intense, and he saw through the window the artillery position on the hill, and the flash of the explosion was rising.
How so? How could the artillery positions placed on the top of the hill by themselves be attacked? How did the New Fourth Army get through the positions it had placed on the hills?
For a moment, Kameda's mind seemed to be a mess, but as the gunfire rang out on the hill, fierce gunfire rang out from the south and east of the Baisha stronghold, especially in the south, where countless shells fell from the Japanese position.
Zuo Guanglong, the commander of the first company, saw the sound of gunfire on the top of Beishan, and couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, shouting to fight, and his company immediately divided into three ways and launched an attack on the enemy in front of Beishan.
The Japanese troops guarding Beishan couldn't help but be stunned when they found the sound of gunfire on the top of the mountain behind them, and then they heard gunshots and shouts of killing from the opposite side, and immediately knew that the New Fourth Army was attacking.
So the enemy who was holding the position began to fire desperately, and at the same time flares were raised one after another.
It is a pity that the flares illuminate the area in front of the position as if it were daylight, and at the same time, they also illuminate their own position in full light.
Zuo Guanglong saw the devil's firepower point on the opposite side, and ordered the grenadier to fire immediately, and at the same time ordered the warrior to charge.
At the same time, Lianli's machine gun also opened fire, suppressing the enemy's firepower.
The commander of the national platoon and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon quietly climbed up the cliff, and saw that the more than ten devil soldiers who were responsible for guarding the artillery position were looking into the distance with all their attention, and they did not notice them at all.
The devil soldiers, who were in charge of the security of the artillery positions, were taken by surprise, and eight people fell in a blink of an eye, and the rest were also beaten back again and again.
As for the gunners of the devils, when they saw the New Fourth Army suddenly appearing, they also went to get weapons, but it was a pity that their self-defense weapons were all put in tents on the side and did not take them with them at all.
As the tents of the two lodgings were blown away by grenades, the fighters of the two squads of the reconnaissance platoon also rushed over, and the five Japanese infantry were killed in a blink of an eye, and the remaining artillery was no match for the reconnaissance platoon at all, and fell one after another under the blow of the reconnaissance platoon, and finally except for the eleven artillerymen who escaped from the other side of the trail to the top of the hill, the rest were all wiped out by the reconnaissance platoon.
After occupying the artillery position of the devils, the national platoon commander immediately ordered the fighters of one squad to hold the road leading to the bottom of the mountain, and the fighters of the other squad quickly adjusted the mortars on the position and launched a bombardment of the enemy fortifications at the bottom of the mountain.
The Japanese soldiers guarding the hill heard the shells flying and exploding on the top of their heads, and immediately knew that the artillery position arranged on the top of the hill had fallen into the hands of the New Fourth Army.
It's a pity that in addition to a road on this mountain, the other three sides, one side is a cliff, which cannot be climbed at all, and the other two directions are also very steep, and the remaining direction, the Japanese army just attacked upward, and immediately several grenades fell on the mountain, falling in the attacking team, and many soldiers screamed in pain and rolled down.
The reconnaissance platoon in charge of pinning down the enemy in the west saw that the platoon commander had succeeded, and immediately cooperated with the first and third platoons and continued to approach forward.
After the devil's fortifications in the west were blown up by the shells flying from the mountain, the reconnaissance platoon forced to the dark fort eighty meters away from the west side, and the grenadier team members temporarily sent by the regiment headquarters to reinforce immediately took out the ****** from the backpack behind them, mounted them on the improved crossbow, and pulled the trigger according to the hidden fort that was constantly spitting out tongues of fire, and the ****** flew out quickly, and hit the dark fort, immediately igniting the fire, and then two ****** flew away, turning the dark fort into a fireball.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, who kept firing artillery on the hill, saw a fireball in the west, and immediately adjusted the angle, and two shells passed, directly destroying the dark fort.
Seeing this, the first and third platoons immediately rushed forward with the reconnaissance platoon to destroy the remaining enemy.
The bunker was destroyed, and the enemy in the fortifications behind lost fire support, and the shells on the hill kept coming, and they were beaten back again and again by three platoons.
Ten minutes later, a company of three platoons hit the top of the hill and joined up with the reconnaissance platoon on the top of the mountain.
The western side was breached, and the fortifications of Kitayama of the devil were torn a big hole, and Kameda knew that if he did not withdraw his troops again, it would be a matter of time before they were wiped out by the New Fourth Army.
Besides, at this time, the offensive of the New Fourth Army in the west and south was also very fierce, especially in the south, and the Japanese army's defensive position was already crumbling.
At this time, the Imperial Allied Army of Qingyang Bridge had lost contact, and it seemed that Qingyang Bridge had fallen into the hands of the New Fourth Army.
When Nobuyuki Matsushita received a report from Kameda that the White Sands stronghold had been attacked, he didn't think much of it at first, but just asked Kameda to stay on standby.
The Baisha stronghold has perfect fortifications, even if Liu Tianshu's troops are all pounced, it is impossible to capture the Baisha stronghold in a short time, and his own reinforcements only need six hours to arrive.
According to his estimates, Kameda could hold out for at least one day or more.
Who would have thought that less than an hour after the battle began, Kameda reported that the artillery position in Kitayama had been lost, and the New Fourth Army was using the artillery position to launch a merciless bombardment of his troops. At the same time, the Qingyang Bridge also fell into the hands of the New Fourth Army.
Kameda asked the troops to withdraw from the Baisha stronghold, because the current Baisha stronghold was all under the attack of the artillery position on the top of the mountain, and the artillery position on the top of the mountain was stored with enough ammunition.
The squad sent out to recapture the artillery position has been directly disabled.
Matsushita Nobuyuki blushed, and after a while, he had to order Kameda to retreat to the northwest and retreat to the Yangzhuang stronghold as soon as possible, and at the same time, Matsushita Nobuyuki ordered the third brigade to rush to the aid of Yangzhuang.
After making arrangements, Nobuyuki Matsushita reported the situation to the brigade commander Tadaji Miura.
Tadaji Miura was concentrating the 133rd Wing to attack the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army at that time, and when he received a report from Nobuyuki Matsushita, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his face.
It seems that the division commander is right, this Liu Tianshu is the big problem, since Liu Tianshu has launched an attack on the imperial army, let him know that he knows the strength of the imperial army.
Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and called Nobuyuki Matsushita.
When Matsushita Shinichi heard the brigade commander order his entire wing to march in the direction of Baisha, cooperate with the two brigades of the 133rd Wing, and encircle the 16th Regiment of the New Fourth Army, he couldn't help but suddenly realize.
It is no wonder that when the 133rd Wing attacked the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army, one of its brigades moved from the south to the north, while the other two brigades went north along the road leading to Huainan.
Thinking of this, Matsushita Nobuyuki couldn't help but feel happy, the last time he swept the 16th Regiment, he dispatched a wing of troops, but in the end he returned in vain, which made him very ridiculed by his colleagues.
In his heart, he has regarded the last sweep as a great shame.
He was extremely happy to be able to eliminate Liu Tianshu and relieve the hatred in his heart.
Nobuyuki Matsushita's 3rd Brigade suddenly moved eastward, while the 1st Brigade was rapidly assembling at the same time. This was quickly learned by intelligence officers operating around Hefei.
Before Xie Pingcai attacked the Baisha stronghold, Liu Tianshu asked Staff Officer Sun, who was in charge of enemy reconnaissance, to send personnel to keep an eye on the 1st and 3rd Brigades of the 138th Wing of the Japanese Army.
In order to keep abreast of the surrounding enemy situation, Liu Tianshu began to set up a military intelligence department in the 16th Regiment, which was specifically responsible for the meticulous staff officer Sun Hai.
Staff Officer Sun Hai's intelligence department was only responsible to Liu Tianshu and Guo Sizhong, the political commissar, and was listed as the top secret of the 16 th Regiment.
Staff Officer Sun Hai commanded these intelligence personnel in strict accordance with the requirements of Regiment Commander Liu, for example, the two intelligence groups sent this time had only one task, that is, to keep an eye on the first and third brigades of Matsushita Shin, and nothing else was asked.
Of course, for the 133rd Wing on the side of the highway from Hefei to Huainan, Liu Tianshu also asked Sun Hai to send people to monitor.
These intelligence officers all have one thing in common, that is, they are not good-looking, they belong to the kind that they can't be found in the crowd at all, and some of them even give people a sense of obscenity.
Of course, the training of these intelligence officers is carried out in a top-secret place, and these people all have a deep hatred for devils.
Knowing that the 1st Brigade and the 3rd Brigade of the 138th Wing of the Japanese Army were suddenly dispatched, Liu Tianshu immediately knew that the Japanese army was going to play a trick, and sure enough, before he could give Xie Ping an order, the intelligence officer in charge of monitoring the 133rd Wing sent back a telegram, saying that the two brigades of the 133rd Wing, which were staying along the highway from Hefei to Huainan, suddenly began to assemble, and there were signs of turning around and heading east.
As soon as he received the report from Staff Officer Sun, Liu Tianshu immediately walked to the map, and after carefully observing it, he turned to Staff Officer Sun and said, "Sun Hai, immediately send a telegram to Xie Pingcai, ask him to end the battle as soon as possible, and then withdraw to the Wild Boar Ridge to standby." ”
When Xie Pingcai received an urgent telegram from the regiment headquarters, the battle to attack the Baisha stronghold was nearing its end.
Seeing that the White Sands stronghold could no longer be held, Kameda immediately wisely ordered the troops defending the northeast, east, and south directions to withdraw, and then blew up the supplies for the White Sands stronghold.
Xie Ping saw the sound of explosions in the Baisha stronghold, and couldn't help but feel full of regret, he knew that the old devil Kameda was ready to run away, but it was a pity for those supplies.
Since the devil wants to run, Xie Ping will naturally not be soft-hearted, besides, the explosion and fire that sounded in the stronghold made him already heartbroken to death, and he hated Kameda, a loser who had to destroy the materials before leaving.
With his order, the second company and the troops of Captain Lin, who cooperated with the operation, chased forward with all their might, and at the same time, he also asked the first company to draw out a platoon and quickly reinforce the machine gun company.
As for the reconnaissance platoon, it used artillery fire on the hilltop to bombard the Baisha stronghold.
Anyway, the materials have been destroyed by Kameda, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of this or that, especially the position of the Imperial Allied Army to the west of the Baisha stronghold, which has become the target of the reconnaissance company's all-out bombardment for a while.
