Chapter 299: The general offensive is about to begin
"Fight, give me all the resistance!"
Ren Ran limped back and forth with a Type 38 rifle to cheer up the soldiers in the position, where bursts of bullets were flying towards the Japanese troops who pounced on them like locusts.
The remaining tanks were almost depleted of fuel and ammunition, so they could only stay in front of the position as a mobile battery, and one of them fired high-explosive shells at the Japanese troops in front.
Ren Ran called Liu Jun over, pointed to a pile of weapons and bullets at his feet and said: "Liu Jun, you hurry up and send these bullets and guns to the brothers, I estimate that the bullets will not be enough after a while, and I have to use these rags to make up the number." ”
Liu Jun frowned and looked at the pile of 38-style rifles and crooked handles and other weapons under his feet, and felt helpless for a while, this pile of weapons would be a good thing if they were changed to a miscellaneous army in China, but it was really difficult for the Chahar soldiers who were used to holding the Garand rifle, Suomi and MG42 general-purpose machine guns to make these weapons come to them.
"Look at what, if there is no bullet yào for a while, these things are better than everyone fighting bayonets, what is the ink? Hurry up! Ren Ran's temper is not good now, and his voice is naturally loud, Liu Jun didn't dare to say anything, so he called a few soldiers to come over and distribute all these bullets.
However, it was not Ren Ran's battalion that first used these weapons on the position, but Zheng Xiǎoyou's side on the other side.
"Smack"
A crisp gunshot rang out first in the opposite position, followed by the sound of more and more Japanese-style weapons on the opposite side, which made Shunjiro Okubo Osa, who commanded the onslaught of the troops, overjoyed.
"Yo Xi, the bullets of the Shina army on the opposite side are almost finished, everyone hurry up and attack!"
Shunjiro Okubo's command knife pointed diagonally at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and he shouted loudly at the soldiers.
Due to the Japanese attack regardless of casualties, the infantry, which had lost tank support, struggled to resist the Japanese army's watery attack.
"Click, click", the Suomi firing pin in Ren Ran's hand began to hit the air.
Reluctantly threw away his beloved Suomi, cào picked up the 38-style rifle beside him, and still began to shoot with a bolt.
As the soldiers' firepower weakened, the Japanese attack became more ferocious, and grenadiers and mortar shells continued to fall on the position, and the casualties on Ren Ran's position began to increase.
Front-line command
"Report to the commander, report to the 3rd Armored Division, they will arrive at Shilipu in forty minutes."
"Report to the sir, according to the report of the commander of Shilipu, they have little ammunition left, and they request air support."
"Report to the commander, the Japanese troops in the city are now shrinking their defensive lines, and it is more difficult for our troops to attack, and the troops are requesting to slow down the attack."
One by one news kept coming into Su Tong's ears, and it gathered into one meaning, that is, Shilipu, everyone is grabbing Shilipu.
"Order air support, you must support Shilipu at all costs!"
"Yes!"
At this time, the Okubo Shunjiro Osa, who was supervising the battle in the rear, saw that the soldiers attacking on both sides were progressing smoothly, especially the attack of the 6th Brigade attacking on the right flank, which was already less than 100 meters away from the enemy's position.
Excited, he screamed loudly behind him and told the troops to rush forward quickly, and in his opinion, even a turtle could rush up in this less than a hundred places.
Okubo Shunjiro Osachi called the captain of the 5th Infantry Brigade: "Kubo-kun, you immediately take your brigade and immediately rush up, and as soon as the 6th Brigade rushes into the enemy trenches, you will immediately follow up and expand the results of the battle, as long as the right flank is occupied, it will not be far from occupying the left flank." ”
"Hey!" The captain of the fifth brigade immediately took the order.
"Smack"
Ren Ran knocked down a Japanese soldier who was about to rush forward with one shot, and pulled the bolt again, cursing in his heart this evil xiǎo Japan, how could he invent such a weapon with such a rib, so that he let the big camp seat pull the bolt and pull his hands numb.
"Camp, the devils have come up to us, let's not pull the strings." The company commander leaned into Ren Ran's ear and asked loudly.
At this time, the Japanese army had already approached the distance of more than 30 meters in front of the position, and from time to time Japanese grenades flew into the trenches.
Ren Ran gritted his teeth, "Pull it!" Damn, I can't do it, I'll play the strings! ”
"Boom ......"
A series of explosions sounded, and the Japanese troops in front of the position let out bursts of screams, it turned out that Ren Ran had buried the only remaining more than 30 directional mines in front of the position, as the last killer weapon, and now they had to be used. In a burst of explosions, tens of thousands of steel balls sprayed out sharply forward, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers who rushed in front fell to the ground screaming, most of their bodies became leaky sieves, and blood flowed on the ground, looking miserable.
"Nani? What kind of weapon is this, how can it be so powerful! Shunjiro Okubo, who had never seen a directional mine in the back, was stunned by the sudden explosion on the position, and in this instant, almost half of the squadron of Japanese troops was reimbursed.
"Rush up and tear them all apart!" The Japanese commanders who came to their senses were all angry and waved their command knives desperately behind them, ordering the soldiers to rush forward, knowing that if they did not rush into the opponent's trench while they were now close to the opponent's position, their efforts would be in vain.
Seeing that the directional mine just now not only did not knock down the Japanese attack, but made the Japanese army even more crazy, Ren Ran also let go, and picked up a crooked machine gun and lay down in the foxhole and swept it desperately.
At this time, Zheng Xiǎoyou, who was on the other side, saw that Ren Ran on the right flank was in an urgent situation, and called Niu Mazi, the platoon commander of the artillery platoon.
"Asako, how many mortar shells do you have left?"
"Sir, there are less than twenty shells left." Mazi said with a bitter face.
"Send them all to the Japanese position on the opposite side immediately!" Zheng Xiǎo said with a calm face.
"What?" Mazi's eyes widened, "That's our last bit of family foundation, and there will be no more after the fight." ”
"Shut up," Zheng Xiǎo You glared at Mazi, "If the battalion commander's position is broken through by the Japanese army, can we hold it on our own?" Don't talk nonsense, carry out the order! ”
"Yes!"
Mazi reluctantly turned her head and went back to prepare.
However, two minutes later, the Japanese troops who were storming the position of Ren Ran's first battalion heard a low whistling sound coming from behind.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A series of explosions sounded in front of the position, which caught the Japanese troops who were attacking by surprise and fell one by one.
Seeing that the offensive momentum of the Japanese army was frustrated, Ren Ran's face did not show a happy look, he knew that this might be the last bit of family background of the brother troops opposite, and they were used to save their lives, and now they all supported him, but he didn't know if he had a chance to return it.
"Rush! Rush me up."
Okubo Shunjiro Osa personally led the team to rush up at this time, but the gunfire on the position slowly fell.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded, and two bombs fell from the sky and exploded fifty meters in front of the position, blowing up the Japanese troops who were attacking on their backs.
"Damn, it's finally here, these damn 'fat guys'!" With a long sigh of relief, Ren Ran leaned against the chest wall, still holding a 38-type rifle that had run out of bullets in his hand, and when the situation was critical just now, he still had to prepare to order the bayonet.
Two 47s with large and short fuselages swept past the position, and it was as if he still saw the smug smiling faces of the pilots on the planes, and they had dropped the two fifty-kilogram aerial bombs just now.
After throwing the bombs, the two 47 kept hovering at low altitude on the position, and also dived down from time to time to give the Japanese a dive sweep shè, although the casualties caused to the Japanese army were not very large, but the pressure on their hearts was huge, the plane has come, will the reinforcements be far away?
The sky began to darken, and the Japanese troops in Tongliao City gradually withdrew according to the plan, and more than 10,000 Japanese troops embarked on the road of retreat one after another.
"Report! The 40th Wing reported that due to the arrival of reinforcements from China, Shilipu has not yet been captured! ”
A Japanese officer hurriedly came to Lieutenant General Kajiro Muraaka's side, and reported anxiously.
"I don't care what reinforcements I have, I just need ten miles!" You tell Shunjiro Okubo that if he doesn't capture the enemy's position before the large force of our army reaches Shilipu, he will disembowelment himself!
Lieutenant General Kajiro Muraaka's voice revealed a ruthless coldness, which made the Japanese officers in front of him shiver, and he looked at Lieutenant General Michitake Yamaoka next to him, the Forty Wing belonged to his direct jurisdiction.
Unexpectedly, Michitake Yamaoka also nodded: "Yes, the words of the commander of the village division are my orders, if he can't capture the position after a xiǎo hour, there is no need for him to exist." ”
Yes, now they don't know how long the blocking force can resist each other in the city, it may be a xiǎo hour, or it may be a day or two, but it is more likely that it will be broken through at any time, so for the sake of the lives of the remaining more than 10,000 Japanese troops in the two divisions, the two division commanders must be ruthless to the death of Bī Okubo Shunjiro.
In the headquarters outside the city of Tongliao
"Sir, the devil has retreated to Shilipu! A wing of Japanese troops was left in the city to block the attack, but Commander Wang promised to deal with them tonight. The staff officer put down the phone and hurriedly reported.
"Have the reinforcements from Shilipu arrived?"
"A regiment of the 2nd Panzer Division has arrived and is now holding out with the infantry there for ten miles."
"Okay, order the troops, catch up, and launch a general attack on the Japanese army tomorrow, and we must completely annihilate these two Japanese divisions!" Su Tong slapped his palm on the desk!
"Yes, a general attack tomorrow! Annihilation of Japanese divisions
