Chapter 140: Changsha Heroes (5)
Along the way, He Laifu commanded the hunting detachment to advance with a devastating momentum, and the devil soldier station, supply station, shelter station, and field hospital along the way were looted by the hunting detachment. The trucks and carts that had been vacated by the joint logistics brigade due to combat attrition were once again full.
Wu Mu army all the way forward, the devil's plane also caused great trouble to Wu Mu army, although the hunting detachment is equipped with air defense troops, but the long line needs too many air defense troops, along the way ** rout provided great help, they followed the hunting detachment to light wet torches, with a lot of smoke to cover the troops attack. **'s formed troops all have flank and volley missions, so they are all scattered routs, and they follow the hunting detachment to Yueyang without hesitation.
There were nearly 20,000 soldiers of the hunting detachment when they came to Yueyang City, holding all kinds of weapons: German-made shell guns and submachine guns, Japanese-made 38-type, crooked handles, 96-type light machine guns, grenadiers, Czech-style, Zhongcheng, Hanyang-made, bird guns, broadswords, spears, grenades, hunting forks, only the troops brought by Lu Qingcai were still the same......
He Laifu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at this super miscellaneous army, and sent Jing Yukun to lead the guard company to temporarily organize the troops.
Anan, who was sitting in Yueyang, could hardly imagine that the Zhina Army would actually come to the city like a soldier drilled out of the ground, and hurriedly informed the front-line troops that the predetermined combat objectives had been achieved, and the whole line stopped attacking and returned to Yueyang.
At this time, the street fighting in Changsha City had been going on for two days.
Wan Zixiong learned that the devil had invaded Changsha City, and understood that the general trend had gone, but Wan Zixiong's injury was just right, and he was angry with the devil, and he knew that there were still a large number of ** troops on the periphery of Changsha, so he ordered the second battalion to fight with the devil in the north of the city.
Then, the 6 infantry companies of the first battalion and the third battalion also arrived, Wan Zixiong suddenly felt like a fish in water, 9 infantry companies, more than 1,000 people, equipped with submachine guns, short shotguns, grenades, and grenades with melee weapons.
Wan Zixiong commanded the soldiers to be divided into submachine gunners, short shotgunners, bombardiers, and wall breakers to attack, block, and guerrilla attacks on the devils entering the city.
One combat team stood guard at a house on the corner of the street, occupying the commanding height of the roof in a strange light, with short shotguns occupying the top of the wall, and the bombardier taking time to help the wall breaker break through the courtyard wall.
The devil's 1 infantry squad cautiously searched and advanced, and the strange light suddenly attacked, knocking out the devil's light machine gun, the devil's grenadier was looking for the enemy, and the grenade fired from the short shotgun blew it away; The devil finds the target and shoots at the strange light; The shotgun was loaded with another grenade, blowing away the devil's second-in-command who had just picked up the machine gun. Another devil infantry squad rushed from the other side of the alley and quietly approached the courtyard.
Suddenly, a grenade rolled out of the dog hole in the courtyard wall, blowing down 3 devil soldiers, the devils hurriedly lay down, and at the same time according to the gun search, there was no movement in the yard, the devil immediately threw two grenades into the yard, and saw that there was indeed no movement inside, so he slowly stood up.
The courtyard door behind the devil opened quietly, and a short shotgun with a grenade sticking out of the crack in the door, and with a "tom", all 4 devils in the devil's machine gun group were put down.
When the reinforcements arrived, there was really no one in the yard, only a large hole in the back room wall.
Another combat group, in the alley that extends in all directions, the bombardier has become the main force, when he sees the devil, he throws a grenade through the wall, and after throwing the grenade, he withdraws, and controls the explosion time is the strength of this kid, and the submachine gunner and short shotgunner are only responsible for covering and blocking, and the devil will never shoot if he does not find it.
Someone reported to Wan Zixiong that he found a material warehouse left behind, which contained a large number of radios, telephones, batteries, telephone lines, sapper shovels and pickaxes and other tools, and asked if he would stick to it.
Wan Zixiong replied, he is not allowed to hold on, but he must watch and deploy at least 4 combat groups outside the warehouse, and the devils can only occupy it, but as long as they move things out, they must be killed! Trucks, carts close to the warehouse must be blown up.
With the entry of the Fourth Division of the Devils, Wan Zixiong's situation began to deteriorate, there were more and more devils, the space for each combat group to move was getting smaller and smaller, the street fighting troops of the first class had withdrawn, and the devils began to set up machine gun bunkers at various intersections, dividing the streets and alleys of the city block by block, and then searching and clearing them block by block.
Wan Zixiong doesn't eat this set, how about the blockade of your machine gun bunker, I will destroy you with a single grenade, and even grenades and grenades can destroy you.
Wan Zixiongbu played with the devil for two days, and let the devil see all kinds of shady tricks, bad tricks, bad tricks, rifles and submachine guns sniping in the distance, grenade secret attacks in the near distance, gun grenades blowing up machine guns, grenadiers, trucks, carts, armored vehicles, abound wall holes, elusive combat teams, cutting telephone lines, turning searchlights, attacking sentries, changing road signs, door numbers, and bombing the headquarters, which made the devils annoyed.
After receiving the order to retreat, the Hayabuchi Detachment and the Fourth Division were relieved and hurriedly set off as a team, destroying the materials that could not be transported on the spot.
Seeing the devils destroying the materials, Wu Mujun was anxious, and many combat teams appeared and attacked the warehouse occupied by the devils desperately, and the gunfire became fierce again, and several combat teams and the warehouse died together.
The high-level devils in Changsha City had already learned that Yueyang had been attacked, so they had no intention of fighting, and ordered the troops to quickly assemble and return to Yueyang. Therefore, most of the materials in Changsha City were preserved.
The devil walked on the front foot, Wan Zixiong arrived on the back foot, arranged for the troops to seal the warehouse, and at the same time sent the second battalion out of the city to pursue, but only hit the transport team, and the other troops ignored it, and reported it to He Laifu.
He Laifu received a report from Wan Zixiong and formulated a battle plan with Jing Yukun and Ouyang Cheng: build momentum to attack the city, and at the same time arrange a return battle plan.
Jing Yukun and Ouyang Cheng organized the first temporary troops, set up a siege formation, and built fortifications; The Kehua Artillery Brigade prepared for the shelling, set up the shooting of Zhuyuan, and sent artillery observers; The air defense brigade sanitation artillery position, the anti-tank brigade and the light fire battalion arrived close to the city......
At noon, the sun was in the sky, and the devil was in the backlight, and it was the time to attack.
He Laifu gave an order, and dozens of infantry guns and mortars first launched three consecutive artillery fire preparations.
The devil's artillery immediately counterattacked, covering the infantry guns and mortars with 75mm mountain artillery from the artillery positions outside the city.
Ke Hua's artillery observers detected the firepower of a field artillery brigade of the devils, 12 75mm mountain guns, and 12 infantry guns and 5 mortars at the brigade level of the devil's wing.
Ke Hua didn't care about infantry artillery and mortar-level artillery, but only the 105mm mountain artillery of the artillery brigade and the 75mm mountain artillery of the light fire battalion, and the small-caliber artillery was Liang Ruxiang's task.
Ke Hua ordered the 3 105mm mountain guns of the 1st Company and 1st Platoon to open fire and destroy the Devil's Field Artillery position. Ouyang Cheng looked at Ke Hua's order and secretly applauded: The earthen artillery under this warlord is really not in vain!
Liang Ruxiang was much worse, she saw that the devil's infantry artillery and mortars were exposed, and with an order, 8 flat-fire guns, 5 automatic guns, and 27 anti-aircraft guns opened fire together, and the devil's infantry firepower was extinguished in an instant.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ouyang Cheng immediately ordered the anti-tank brigade to quickly shift its position!
Although Liang Ruxiang didn't know why, she still solved the order and carried out the order. What happened later made her break out in a cold sweat: a hidden artillery position of the devil suddenly opened fire, and 12 75mm mountain guns covered the position that the anti-tank brigade had just withdrawn!
Ke Hua saw that the devil had another artillery position, and couldn't help sneering: Playing with Lao Tzu, you are far behind! "Pass my order, 1 company, 1 platoon, 3 mountain artillery, adjust the shooting of Zhuyuan, and suppress the artillery position of the devils on the left flank!"
The devil's infantry firepower came alive again, and mortars and infantry artillery continued to counterattack. Because the target of the devil's shelling was anti-aircraft guns, the other flat-fire guns and automatic guns did not suffer much losses, and they lost 2 flat-fire guns and 3 automatic guns, all of which were fired by the devil's rapid-fire guns, but the devils only had 3 rapid-fire guns. Therefore, the Wu Mu army can also use 10 flat-fire guns and automatic guns to fire at the devil's rapid-fire guns, and snipe the devil's infantry artillery and mortars at the same time.
The artillery battle on both sides seems to have nothing to do with the ** provisional troops, the soldiers are timid in the trenches, the bold ones are lively, and the artillery and artillery are firing at each other, I really haven't seen it! The officers were busy confirming the devil's firepower deployment, although the devil's heavy machine gun did not fire, but most of them would be in the mortar and infantry artillery firepower, which was temporarily notified to them by Ouyang Cheng, ** Many grassroots officers' tactical literacy really dare not compliment.
The devil's rapid-fire cannon suffered a loss from firing at Wu Mujun's flat-fire guns and automatic guns, and sure enough, he took out 3 rapid-fire guns.
Liang Ruxiang ordered 1 anti-aircraft gun to participate in the firing, and changed the gun position in time, she also learned to be obedient, played with the devil to hide the cat, and quickly cleared the devil's rapid-fire cannon.
The devil's infantry reinforcements were still hundreds of miles away, so they had to use planes to replenish the numbers, 4 bombers, and 6 fighters flew over.
Wu Mujun unleashed fireworks.
The Devil plane lowered its altitude in order to observe the situation on the ground.
Wu Mujun's Buddha light flew into the sky.
Devil's two bombers flew into Dongting Lake with thick smoke in tow.
Wu Mujun's infantry artillery and mortars were left under the double blow of the devil's rapid-fire guns and 75mm mountain guns, but the devil's infantry guns and mortars were completely lost. So the only 3 mortars were unscrupulous because they had no natural enemies.
The Wu Mu army sounded the trumpet of the charge, and the infantry swarmed out of the trenches.
The devil's light and heavy machine guns rang out, and the infantry could only crawl forward, and the automatic guns, flat-fire guns, and 6 anti-aircraft guns in the back also rang out, clearing the devil's heavy machine guns.
The devil's artillery once again launched a counter-suppression, and all 24 mountain guns and 12 field artillery pieces of all 3 field artillery brigades were exposed.
Ke Hua then ordered all 27 mountain artillery pieces of the light fire battalion to open fire, and at the same time, 9 105 mountain artillery guns also focused on covering the devil's field artillery.
The devil artillery suffered a loss, and the firepower weakened, and the officers and soldiers suddenly became angry, shouting and rushing up to fight......
Tearing open the position of the devils outside Yueyang City, He Laifu smiled: "This is the order of soldiers to come to the city!" ”
When it got dark, Jing Yukun and Ouyang Cheng commanded the officers and soldiers to clean up the battlefield, especially to bring back artillery shells, blow up heavy artillery (excluding mortars) of more than 75mm, and then withdraw to their original positions.
Wu Mujun and ** received an order after a full meal: retreat!
He Laifu commanded the Wumu Army Hunting Detachment and a large number of ** officers and soldiers to withdraw along the original road on the east bank of Dongting Lake: the armored brigade that had undergone a short rest should open the road first, and the cavalry brigade followed suit, followed by the air defense brigade, the artillery brigade, the joint logistics brigade, the directly subordinate brigade, the ambulance brigade, the engineer brigade, the ** temporary unit and the special operations brigade, the mixed unit of the 3 infantry artillery companies, and the 3 heavy machine gun companies, and the light fire battalion and the anti-tank brigade.
The Abyss detachment, which was the first to attack Changsha City, met with He Laifu's strengthened hunting detachment. After days of hard fighting, the Ayubuchi detachment was already a tired division, but the detachment leader Shiro Hayabuchi thought that the other party was no better, so he still rushed up with confidence.
Niu Daojia was originally a master who didn't want to die, and he was a strong gunner, so he rushed forward without hesitation, and Wu Zhen naturally wanted to follow to cover up and cover the armored brigade.
Seeing that the battle was going on in front, Ke Hua immediately set up an artillery position and sent artillery observers.
The Abyss detachment resisted vigorously, blocking the attacks of tanks and armored vehicles with limited rapid-fire guns and even infantry guns and heavy machine guns, and the bombardment of Kehua's three 105mm heavy guns made the devils completely lose confidence. I had to get out of the way and move closer to the 3rd Division on the right flank.
The commander of the 3rd Division, Toyoda Fangtaro, believed that the Ayuchi detachment could not resist the enemy because of the serious combat losses in the early stage, so he raised troops to cover the flank of the Kaishou detachment.
Jing Yukun and Ouyang Cheng led the mixed troops forward, and as soon as the battle broke out in front, the first officers and soldiers asked for battle. These original defeated soldiers fought a victory, replenished their provisions, and were regarded as having food in their stomachs, guns in their hands, naturally hard waists, and extremely strong bloodthirsty in battle, and they wanted to get back the nest they had suffered before!
The Third Division came to kill it, which was exactly what the mixed troops wanted, but the quality of the troops was still low, and there was a lack of running-in, and the formation was very chaotic, so Ouyang Cheng hurriedly ordered the air defense brigade in front to cast a group of Buddha Light Flying Thunder Flat Fire to block the attack of the Third Division.
Eight huge bombs flew towards the vanguard of the 3rd Division, and the 40-meter killing radius was frightening, and there were more wounded and fewer dead, and the wails everywhere made people feel terrified.
Ouyang Cheng was about to rectify the formation, and Lu Qinghu preemptively issued an order to attack. The special operations brigade is the backbone of the mixed troops, and naturally it is brave to take the lead, and the mixed troops rush towards the third division like a sea of mountains, and the leading unit is Lu Qingcai's temporary regiment!
Seeing that the troops had rushed out, Ouyang Cheng had no choice but to order Liu Qinghe's artillery company and heavy machine gun company under his command to provide fire cover, and the light fire battalion and anti-tank brigade paid attention to protecting the flank of the mixed troops.
The commander of the Third Division, Fangtaro Toyoda, saw that the fighting style of the Chinese army was so fierce, which was very different from the previous style of defending every battle and losing every defense, and even thought that the Chinese army was collectively mentally ill. In any case, if you can't resist it, you have to retreat or flee. Toyota Fangtaro judged the situation and believed that it was more cost-effective to retreat than to flee, so the troops withdrew 3 kilometers east. The Hayabuchi detachment also followed and withdrew another 3 km. Only pity the 4th Division in the back.
The Fourth Division of the Devils, a merchant division regiment known for its fear of death, performed remarkably this time and bravely attacked Changsha City. Originally, the left route followed the Abyss detachment and returned, which was the safest route, and the other routes had been subjected to volleys and flanking attacks by the Shina army. Unexpectedly, the Hayabuchi detachment collapsed at the first touch, changed its route, and suddenly exposed the 4th Division to the armored brigade and cavalry brigade of the Wu Mu army.
Unexpectedly, the 3rd Division was also forced to retreat eastward, and the Hayabuchi detachment withdrew eastward together, exposing the wider frontal aspect of the 4th Division to the Shina army, and the friendly forces once again betrayed the 4th Division.
Kitano Kenzo knew what kind of goods he had under him, and hurriedly ordered his troops to turn southeast first, behind the 3rd Division's Hayabuchi detachment, and then turn to the northeast, hiding to the right of the 3rd Division, behind the 6th Division. See "Baidu Encyclopedia - Osaka Fourth Division")"!
He Laifu didn't expect to be able to pick up big ingots when he was about to enter the house, and captured 9 mortars, 6 flat-fire snipers, 9 20mm automatic guns, a number of ammunition, more than 400 75mm shells, 98 105mm shells, 17 heavy machine guns, and 37 light machine guns.
This is not over, the Liu Maoer Sailor Brigade sent a telegram to intercept 57 boats of materials looted by the devils on Dongting Lake, and seized 12 gunboats and troop carriers of the devils, hoping to send personnel to receive them.
He Laifu led the troops into Changsha City, which was a real triumphant return, the only army in the Ninth War Zone that claimed to be triumphant!
