Chapter 517: Chase and Fight!
(PS: New week, new January, ask for guaranteed monthly pass support!) Today is Army Day, and the mosquitoes will strive for a few more chapters! Ask for support! οΌ
For a long time, in the eyes of the invading Japanese army, their weapons and equipment had an absolute overwhelming advantage in the face of the Chinese anti-Japanese war troops. The www.biquge.info of pen, fun, and pavilion are particularly prominent in terms of air supremacy and navy.
In terms of the army, the heavy artillery and combat vehicles owned by the Japanese army are also the magic weapons for them to win in the face of the anti-Japanese war forces. Even heavy artillery and chariots are actually very expensive equipment for them, and they cherish them when they use them.
But tonight's confrontation with the saber has completely overturned the little sense of superiority in their hearts. Look at the chariot they trusted, like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© toy, being destroyed by rockets.
The Eighth Route Army, which rushed to their positions, armed with an automatic firearm, attacked them without panting. This collapse of faith made many Japanese soldiers feel that they were no longer fighting against the Chinese anti-Japanese war forces.
When did the Chinese Anti-Japanese War troops have such advanced weapons and equipment?
This kind of battle, which clearly exceeded their expectations, inadvertently exacerbated the fear of the Japanese army. Although morale is something that cannot be seen or touched, sometimes it can make or break a battle.
Along the destroyed Japanese tanks, the Saber special operators took the lead and took the lead in rushing into the Japanese blocking positions. The round grenades hanging on their bodies were thrown into the trenches of the Japanese army one by one as small grenades by the special combat personnel.
When the grenade was detonated and the Japanese infantry were crying wolf, the special combat team members were already holding assault rifles and sticking to the trenches to clear them. The scouts who followed up also continued to widen the gap in the blocking position.
Looking at the little devil who was retreating quickly not far ahead, Zhu Fei said in a timely manner: "Reconnaissance group, leave a battalion to clear out the remnants of the enemy." The rest of you, keep rushing forward with me, you must entangle the little devils, don't let them escape! β
'Yes! β
Hearing Zhu Fei's order, many special combat team members handed over the battle to the soldiers of the reconnaissance regiment who followed up, and they jumped up from the trenches themselves. Following the gap opened by the assault team, continue to rush forward to pursue the division headquarters of the little devils.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who was retreating in an armored car, listened to the gunfire that was getting closer and closer behind him, and said in disbelief: "Yaga, how did they attack so fast?" What about our blocking forces? β
Facing Yoshio Shinozuka who stretched out his head to ask, the chief of staff of the division said helplessly: "Your Excellency the division commander, the enemy who attacked us tonight should be He Zhengdao of the Eighth Route Army who is fighting south. His troops, really tough.
Most importantly, they are equipped with a lot of new weapons. Our tanks, under the blow of their weapons, simply do not have the ability to resist. Now the infantry wing is fighting to the death. But their offensive is too fierce! β
The chief of staff of the Japanese army, who had already received news from the rear, also found it difficult to believe that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army had surpassed the real main force of the national * army. But what he was even more surprised was how the Eighth Route Army could appear here!
Yoshio Shinozuka, who was also surprised when he heard this, immediately said, "Na! Aren't they stationed in Huangchuan? Didn't our air force and intelligence department see that they only sent a main force to support here, why did they arrive so quickly? β
"Division commander, we are only afraid of falling for the suspicious tactics of the Eighth Route Army, and judging from the reports of the various wings, there are at least tens of thousands of people in the Eighth Route Army attacking us. The new 67th Army in Huangchuan is afraid that there are not many troops at all.
Judging from the current situation, their main force is afraid that it has long been lurking in the Huaibin area and waiting for us to come. If nothing else, it should be their main force that is blocking us in Huaibin City this time, just to drag us here.
The current situation is very unfavorable for us, and our communication with the remaining two infantry wings has been cut off. Our troops have been divided and surrounded by them. For the sake of safety, I have ordered them to disperse and break through in the direction of Guyang. β
When he came, he was in high spirits, but the situation was reversed overnight. Let's not talk about whether they can successfully break through tonight, judging from the current situation, even if they can successfully break through, the 10th Division, which has just been rebuilt, is afraid that it will be really crippled.
In the face of such a sudden and drastic turn for the worse, Yoshio Shinozuka, who had hoped that through this battle, he would once again make a name for himself as the 10th Division, but it was somewhat difficult to believe that his division would encounter such a tragic thing.
Just as Yoshio Shinozuka was exchanging the battlefield situation with the chief of staff, the captain of the Japanese infantry brigade who escorted the division headquarters to leave quickly rushed up and said, "General, the enemy has caught up. I need to lead the brigade to block the attack, and please take care of the general! β
In this way, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but look at the gunshots that were getting closer and closer behind him. He knew very well that the distance between the pursuers and his current was only one kilometer at most. This distance also means that they can be caught up at any time.
Even if he wanted to stay and fight to the death with the pursuing Eighth Route Army. But he also knew that if he died in battle, then the 10th Division, like the other two divisions, would probably be completely canceled by the Japanese army.
You must know that their 10th Division, like the 12th Division, is a standing Class A division of the Japanese army. If they are completely destroyed, this also means that the Japanese army has another standing division, which will be completely eliminated from the Japanese division sequence.
'Go! If I can break through, I will avenge the warriors in the future! β
'Hey! Take care, General! β
The captain of the Japanese infantry group also seemed to know that if they left to block, it was very likely that it would be the fate of the jade shatter. But at this time, he didn't have much choice at all. Compared with the life of the division commander, his life is undoubtedly less valuable.
On the contrary, it was the chief of staff who also said in a timely manner: "Gu Kangzhongzuo, if you have the opportunity, you will break through in the direction of Guyang." There we also have the main forces of two divisions. Hold out until dawn and we have a chance to win. β
'Hey! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! β
Shouting a slogan, the infantry captain took all the infantry with him. And by Yoshio Shinozuka's side, only one guard squadron is left to protect him. Fortunately, they were escorted by tanks and armored vehicles, and the speed of retreat was quite fast.
But it's night, even though the moonlight and starlight are pretty bright. But in some places, they also need to turn on the lights and move forward. If they don't have their lights, their chariots can go into the ditch on the side of the road at any time.
Zhu Fei, who was in charge of the pursuit, looked at the increasing number of blocking Japanese troops in front. How much do I know, the little devil is only afraid of sending troops to stop the attack. This also means that they are not far from the division headquarters of the little devils.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fei said decisively: "Head Chen, these little devils who are blocking the attack will be handed over to you to clean up." I took the special operations detachment and went around from the left. It is necessary to be in front and block the retreat of the little devil.
If they continue to escape, I am afraid that they will have to go to the defense area of the second division and the third regiment. I finally got this combat mission, and what happened to this big fish couldn't let the three regiments catch it. You tell me? β
'Good! I'll take care of that! Do you want me to send you another battalion? β
'Nope! Your next task is to wipe out this infantry wing of the Japanese army. In the words of the commander, tonight we made dumplings for the little devils, and these meat fillings must not be leaked. You have to eat it all in one bite! β
'Take care! β
After a brief exchange with Zhu Fei, the attacking members of the special operations detachment withdrew a little later and handed over the attack to the reconnaissance group that took over the attack. And a group of dozens of them, led by Zhu Fei, marched quickly from the other side.
After coming to Huaibin for a while, Zhu Fei and the others are naturally more familiar with the terrain here than the little devils. The special operations detachment that copied the trail and ran forward quickly, and it didn't take long to see the little devil who was moving quickly with the headlights on.
'Demolition team, go ahead and plant explosives. As soon as the little devil's tank gets on the bridge, blow it up immediately. The rest of the squad was on standby on both sides of the river. Fight for it tonight, and catch a live little devil division leader. β
'Yes, Captain! β
Even if the little devils have armored vehicles to travel, but at night, they are also not fast. Even on the way to break through, one of the little devils' tanks was already lying on its stomach.
Realizing that the chariot could not be repaired, the chariot driver and gunner of the little devil could only turn into infantry and retreat with the division and regiment headquarters. Feeling the gunfire behind them getting farther and farther, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
But Yoshio Shinozuka knows very well that they still have a long way to go to break through from here to the direction of Guyang. If He Zhengdao really used soldiers like a god as they had read the information, then they were only afraid that there would be unknown dangers ahead.
Fortunately, in this case, there are not many options left for them. If you don't break through as soon as possible, you will be caught up by the pursuers behind, and their fate will not be too good. In this case, it is better to escape from the battlefield as much as possible!
Just when the Japanese tanks successfully boarded the bridge, the chief of staff of the Japanese army also felt that his eyes lit up when he saw that this bridgehead was unguarded. Call the officer in charge of the guard of the division headquarters and ask him to send a squad to guard this bridgehead.
In the opinion of the chief of staff, as long as the time comes, they will establish a blocking position on the other side of the bridge and lay explosives under the bridge. If the block doesn't go well, blow up the bridge. At that time, it will not be easy for the Eighth Route Army to pursue it.
But before his order was deployed, he had previously checked the chief of staff on both sides of the bridge who was not ambushed, and he heard a 'boom', and the arch bridge was quickly blown up. The tank and an armored car that drove to the bridge crashed into the river in an instant.
'Yaga! Enemy attack! Quickly save the commander of the division, he is still on the armored car! β
The chief of staff of the Japanese army, who looked at this tragedy with a shocked expression, looked at the tanks and armored vehicles that fell into the river, it was really unbelievable. The bridge, which they had inspected earlier, would have collapsed in an instant.
But they didn't know that the special operators who had planted the explosives had actually been hiding in the river under the bridge. The sound of tracked passage was heard on the bridge deck, and the fuse of the explosive pack was immediately ignited.
It's just that they wouldn't have thought that Yoshio Shinozuka, who was going to cross the river in an armored car at this time, would fall into the river with the armored car. Although the river is not deep, it is still no problem to drown an armored car! (To be continued.) )
