Chapter 427: Desperate Fighting!

(PS: It's two o'clock in the morning again!) Send another chapter and ask for vote count support! For the sake of still struggling in the early morning, shouldn't you give some support! )

It seems that the Japanese army, which came menacing early in the morning, and the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army, which are still holding on to their positions, also did not expect the little devils to dare to fight on three sides. Looking at this posture, it seems that they are not breaking through, but they are going to find the Eighth Route Army for a decisive battle.

But in fact, for Hitomi Shuizo, the only remaining chariot brigade in the division, if it is not put to use, then it can only be destroyed on the spot in the town. In the eyes of Shusan, this is still somewhat wasteful.

Now it is wiser for these tanks and armored vehicles to attack the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army and buy time for the main forces retreating from the west. At least the officers and men of the tank brigade recognized this task.

In the words of these tank drivers, it is undoubtedly very difficult to let them blow up the vehicles they are driving. On the contrary, they drove the chariot to attack the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, and they were willing to destroy the chariot.

In a word, for the chariot drivers of these little devils, they want to die on the road of the offensive. I even hope to accompany the chariot they drive to bravely fight on the road to attack.

It was precisely because of this mentality that Hitomi Shuzo handed over the task of attacking the Eighth Route Army's blocking position and blocking the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army to the chariot brigade and its subordinate infantry. The rest of the main infantry, all from the western position, began to break through.

Looking at the chariots that launched the attack, the people saw that Xiusan still said calmly: "All infantry wings, hurry up and march." While the Eighth Route Army has not yet pursued, we must go as fast as possible. Let's go! ”

Just as the operational staff of the Eighth Route Army had anticipated, the three-sided attack carried out by the little devils early in the morning was more to meet the main force on the other side to break through. These breakout troops are all infantry.

Only a handful of cars, along with armored vehicles, followed the infantry. It's just that it didn't take long to look at the dug road, and these cars and armored vehicles were all parked in place to set up blocking positions.

According to the battle plan of Hitomi Shuzo, if the troops want to successfully break out of the encirclement, the only way to do so is to arrange a large number of blocking troops in addition to continuous attacks. The attacking troops should attack fiercely, and the blocking troops should also desperately block the attack.

Once the pursuers of the Eighth Route Army bite it, it will also become very difficult for them to break through smoothly. In this case, the only way to do this is to adopt the tactics of attacking and blocking at the same time, and tear apart the encirclement that the Eighth Route Army may have arranged.

These cars and armored vehicles, which can no longer be driven, will also become a favorable blocking position. Looking at these deployed troops, the infantry passing by them also seemed silent, but they had to speed up their march.

In order to ensure the materials for the troops to break through, all the pack horses and cavalry horses of the 12th Division were basically collected and bundled with supplies. Each infantry also carried a lot of food.

In doing so, it will also ensure that these infantry will survive for a while if they are scattered in the breakout. If they didn't carry food, they would starve to death if they were scattered.

As the main forces of the division began to withdraw from the town from the west, the chariot brigade in charge of the attack, as well as the infantry assigned to them, launched the attack with the same vigour. It's just that such an attack is destined to not last long.

Looking at the Japanese troops attacking the position, the number was not as large as expected. The commanders of all positions deliberately put the little devils closer to fight. Based on the experience of previous operations, first of all, destroy the little devil infantry covering the combat vehicle.

'Don't fire heavy machine guns and light machine guns, snipers are free to snipe the infantry of the little devils. As for the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils, they were handed over to the comrades of the reconnaissance brigade. Once the tank was dashed, the machine guns were fired at full power. ’

Under the orders of the commander, the snipers and riflemen on the position also began to hunt by name. Looking at these constantly falling auxiliary infantry, the machine gunners on the tank also looked very helpless.

All they could do was to keep pouring fire on the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army. But for snipers who change places with one shot, their killing effect still doesn't play much role.

Only tank guns can blow up some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the trenches from time to time. It was only when they entered the range of the bazookas that the blazing rockets destroyed these attacking chariots on their positions again.

'Light and heavy machine guns, fire!' ’

With a roar from the commander, the machine guns on the blocking positions also began to strafe the Japanese infantry who assisted in the attack. As for the tanks and armored vehicles that rushed to the blocking position, they were also named by the bazookas.

Looking at the destroyed tanks and armored vehicles, many Japanese tankers felt extremely sad. The chariot, which originally seemed invincible to them, was now as fragile as a toy in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Actually, for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who participated in the blockade. They are also very proud to have such a killer weapon. Without the bazooka, this battle would not have been so easy.

For the infantry who are blocking, this kind of tank, which cannot be penetrated by bullets at all, is indeed a hard nut to crack. Now that the fighters of the reconnaissance brigade are responsible for the destruction of these tanks, their pressure has undoubtedly been reduced a lot.

If there were no bazookas, the only way they could think of in the face of these attacking tanks was to destroy them with bomb packs. It's just that the efficiency is not as high as that of a bazooka.

Seeing that the tanks rushing in front were destroyed, the tanks that followed behind also wisely chose to stay put. Tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns are used to provide fire support to infantry. In this way, there is really nothing you can do with the bazooka.

'Pretty cunning! Let the mortar company begin to carry out the shelling. I'd like to see if the little devil's tank can hold up to our heavy mortars! Staying where you are still will still make you lie on your stomach! ’

With the commander on the position, began to order the mortar unit to launch an artillery strike. Mortar shells, fired from behind their positions. Mortar shells that don't hit the tank can also kill the imp infantry attacking next to them.

As for the Japanese tanks that were hit by the shells, they were also blown up and smoked all over their bodies. In this case, for these attacking chariot troops, it will naturally not take too long before they are destroyed.

The commander of the tank brigade, who stayed in the rear and looked at the destroyed tank troops in front, said very calmly: "Let the heavy artillery wing open fire!" This round, together with the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army, was covered. ”

'General, in this case, our tank troops will not be safe! ’

'This attack, we didn't think of retreating at all. In that case, let the Eighth Route Army see the fearlessness of our imperial soldiers. I believe in the level of shelling of the heavy artillery wing, and I also believe in the hope that my tank units will open fire! ’

This tactic of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of oneself caught the Eighth Route Army on the position by surprise. Looking at the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, even the troops attacking by themselves were shelled, and He Zhengdao at the rear of the position also looked a little surprised.

'It seems that the little devil is determined to drag us into the water! Let the artillery regiment of the 3rd Division strike at the Japanese artillery positions in the town! In addition, the cavalry regiment was ordered to prepare for a storm into the town. ’

When the little devils launched a three-sided attack, He Zhengdao also saw the Japanese troops constantly withdrawing from the town. For these troops who withdrew from the town, He Zhengdao also did not order the troops to attack them.

Instead, order the troops in front of you to give way to the road and make it easier for the little devils. Seeing that during this time, the Japanese infantry who had been withdrawn from the town, He Zhengdao believed that there were not many little devils left in the town.

And at this time, a staff officer said: "Commander, look at the time, the little devil's plane is almost here!" ”

'No problem! The artillery regiment of the 3rd Division was ordered to start transferring artillery positions after the counterattack was over, and the artillery positions were camouflaged. Leave the fake artillery positions set up last night to the planes of the little devils to bomb.

As for the cavalry regiment, as long as they rush into the town, if the little devils want to bomb, they will only blow up the little devils they left in the town. At this point in the war, if you want to pay a little price, I'm afraid it's impossible! ’

As the mountain artillery and field artillery battalions of the Third Division launched a counterattack, the Japanese heavy artillery wing in the town also did not expect the Eighth Route Army to dare to counterattack. In their opinion, these Eighth Route Army are not afraid of their air force, so what exactly will they bomb them?

If it is said that the three-sided assault of the little devil caught the Eighth Route Army by surprise. Then He Zhengdao ordered the artillery regiment to counterattack, which also surprised the little devil very much. As a result, the heavy artillery wing of the Japanese army in the town also suffered heavy losses.

Wait until their artillery, which began to adjust the shelling parameters, ready to rush the destruction of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army that counterattacked them. The artillery regiment of the 3rd Division, which received He Zhengdao's order, had already quickly dragged the artillery into a safe area not far away.

A group of sappers who cooperated with the defense opened the fake artillery positions that had been painted black on the wooden shelves last night. From the sky, it really looks a bit like the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, the real artillery position of the Eighth Route Army is still a little far from this false position. The artillery regiment of the 3rd Division, which attracted the attention of the Japanese artillery, also shared the firepower of the Japanese artillery to the blocking troops on the position.

At the same time, a cavalry unit that had been on standby for a long time began a tentative assault on the town. The Japanese infantry responsible for blocking the attack was also a little surprised by the appearance of these cavalry.

Listening to the gunfire outside the town, the commander of the chariot brigade and the commander of the heavy artillery brigade who stayed in the town also ordered the troops in the town to launch a blockade. The cavalry that can be increased also slowly narrows the encirclement of the town.

When the Japanese planes flew to the combat area, they looked at the main force of the 12th Division on the move, and circled around, but they did not see any blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army in front of them.

It didn't take long for the bomber formation to come over the town. Looking at the three blocking positions that were in the fighting, these Japanese fighters who came to support also began to bomb the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army.

In this case, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army on the blocking position are naturally increasing. But even so, the attacking Japanese army, which lost follow-up reinforcements, also seemed powerless. After all, their attack is actually to block it! (To be continued.) )
