Chapter 426: The Battle of Baita Mountain (4)
"Kill it, give it..."More than six hundred little devils let out a roar at the same time. One by one, the rifles with bayonets in their hands were raised, and they launched the last charge before they died. Dozens of machine gunners, under the personal command of the brigade commander, held a straight light machine gun, and while charging rapidly, they repeatedly used the triggers of the light and heavy machine guns in their hands..."Even listening to all kinds of light and heavy machine guns, with the order of Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, the commander of the division, all of them aimed at the nine tanks that were getting closer and closer, and spat out tongues of fire. However, although the firepower of the Yue army is very dense, it can almost be described as airtight. However, these bullets, hitting the tank, were like itching, leaving only a little white spot on the tank, and then hitting countless sparks, but they could not cause any damage. And the nine tanks, facing the dense rain of bullets from the little devils, did not stop, lined up, and pushed forward quickly... Seeing his dense firepower, he didn't have any lethality against the tank in front of him. While being surprised, the little devils did not have any intention of retreating, but under the leadership of their respective commanders, they faced the dense rain of bullets fired by Tucker on the opposite side, and launched the most commonly used and most brutal suicidal charge of the army..."Kill to..." The soldiers in front were shot and fell, and the soldiers behind made up for it and continued to charge. Just when these troops were still 50 meters away from the armored battalion, on the way behind these little devils, there was a whole layer of more than 200 soldiers' corpses..."All the tanks stopped advancing, and the infantry built a blocking position on the spot, resolutely blocking the last round of counter-charge of the little devils..."Looking at the dense crowd on the opposite side, the little devils who no longer care about their life and death at all. In order to save his troops from unnecessary casualties, the commander who led the team wisely ordered the troops to stop the attack and hold on to the spot..."Da Da Da Da..." Suddenly, the nine tanks that were still spitting black smoke and advancing rapidly immediately stopped, like fixed bunkers, and shot a rain of bullets at the little devils who were getting closer and closer in front of them. At the same time, an infantry regiment followed closely behind the tank, accompanied by nine heavy machine guns and dozens of crooked-handled light machine guns. Immediately, with the help of the cover of the tank, he was set up in front of the little devil and began to spew out dense tongues of fire ... A total of more than 70 tongues of fire fired from light and heavy machine guns immediately weaved an impermeable network of fire in front of the army. In front of this dense fire net, the little devil who could just rely on the casualties of the soldiers and slowly advance was immediately blocked at a distance of fifty meters, motionless. In less than ten seconds, fifty meters away from the position, with the corpse of the little devil, a corpse wall almost half a meter high was piled up layer upon layer... And just now, the morale was still high, and the more than 400 little devils who launched a counter-charge against the Eighth Route Army were violent. After more than 70 tongues of fire fired wildly, there were only about 100 people left. As for the remaining more than 100 little devils, looking at the corpse wall that was half a meter high in front of him, and looking at the impenetrable rain of bullets in front of him, the whole person was stunned..."Ah, Bage Yalu, the Eighth Route Army is very powerful..."Finally, a division and regimental staff officer who had not experienced any major battles finally couldn't help it. After a loud shout, he dropped the rifle that had just been received in his hand and had not fired a single bullet, and quickly ran back in the direction of the division headquarters.
With the first little devil who escaped, there was a second one, seeing the corpses of his comrades who were already piled up in front of him, the broken limbs and broken arms... Those little devils who had already been frightened and had no fighting morale, without any hesitation, immediately joined the ranks of the rout..."Baga, is it true that the empire has fallen? It is said that the Imperial Army of this empire, is it really so ineffective in front of the Eighth Route Army, and there will be deserters on the battlefield..."Looking at the nearly 100 soldiers, under the blow of the intensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army, they retreated back in embarrassment, without the appearance of soldiers at all. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, who was commanding in the rear, muttered to himself in disbelief.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, do the machine guns continue to fire. The people rushing over on the opposite side were all our own soldiers..."Looking at the more than 100 Imperial soldiers who were getting closer and closer, the captain of the group who was directing the light and heavy machine gun shooting, hurriedly asked in a low voice.
"Yaga, keep shooting. These people have deserted on the battlefield, and they are not soldiers of our empire. It is said that in this empire, there is no such soldier who has no backbone. All the machine guns continued to fire, letting these deserters know that on the battlefield, the Imperial Army had only two ways out, and that was the final victory in the battle in the district, or the death in battle. Deserters must not be allowed..."After listening to the question of the captain, more than a hundred soldiers who were getting closer and closer in front of him did not have a little morale. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, didn't think about it, and ordered fiercely.
"Hey, Your Excellency the Division Commander....Da Da Da..." Just as the division commander finished speaking, a dense burst of machine gun fire sounded around the division commander. There are more than a hundred little devils in front of him, who no longer have any morale. In the middle of this dense net of fire. The end result was no surprises, and the whole army was destroyed.
However, with the annihilation of the last army in the hands of the division commander, it was the turn of the division commander himself. I saw that the hundreds of little devils in front of me had all turned into corpses. The nine tanks, which had just stopped, acted as pillboxes, once again let out a roar and began to move on... At a distance of more than 100 meters, it took less than half a minute for nine tanks to rush to the door of the headquarters of the division. And the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, took his side, and there were less than 100 officers at all levels left, standing at the door of his headquarters, waiting for the arrival of the armored battalion of the Eighth Route Army..."Surrender the gun and don't kill, don't kill the gun..." Seeing the little devil in front of him, the highest rank turned out to be a lieutenant general, as well as several major generals and Dazuo. The warriors, who had completely surrounded them, immediately gave up the idea of shooting them. Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, the commander of the division in the encirclement, shouted loudly.
"Kill and give..."However, the remaining little devil commanders don't seem to plan to get out of the battlefield alive. As soon as the soldiers' words were finished, more than 100 officers at all levels, led by the division commander, shouted slogans one after another, held their command knives, and launched their final charge against the Eighth Route Army opposite them.
"Damn, these little devils don't know if they're alive or dead... Comrades, give me a hard beat..."I saw the little devil in front of me who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he wouldn't surrender until he died. One of the regiment leaders couldn't help but have a trace of anger on his face. Facing the fighters around him, he gave a loud order to fire.
"Bang bang bang... There was a chaotic sound of rifles and machine guns, and more than 100 commanders of the 14th Division, headed by Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, the commander of the division, did not even touch the body of the Eighth Route Army, and all of them died in this chaotic burst of gunfire.
"The guard company was at the headquarters of the enemy's divisions and regiments, continuing to search for the remnants of the enemy. Remember, if you find any information about your surname, you must remember to keep it and hand it over to the headquarters. The first battalion cooperated with the first company of the armored battalion, the second battalion cooperated with the second company of the armored battalion, and the third battalion cooperated with the third company of the armored battalion. We cooperate with the main forces around us to give the little devils a central flower, do we all know our tasks? Looking at the commander of the division who was already dead in front of him and couldn't die anymore, the regiment commander commanded loudly to the surrounding commanders.
"Yes, regimental commander..."Soon, the three main forces should be accompanied by the roar of the tanks, divided into three, quickly dispersed around, and began to gallop back and forth on the position of the army. The three meat grinder-like attack formations, on the huge position of the Yue army, were constantly consuming the remaining troops of the Yue army. As for the regimental guard company, it rushed into the regimental headquarters of the army, looking for all valuable information... Finally, after almost an hour later, the gunfire on the entire position slowly began to stop. As far as the eye can see, the entire battlefield has been illuminated by the ubiquitous bonfires, and the soldiers who have finished solving the remnants of the enemy are beginning to search for possible fish that may slip through the net on the huge battlefield as a squad.
And more soldiers have joined the ranks of cleaning up the battlefield. One stretcher after another, carrying the body of a seriously wounded or sacrificed comrade, withdrew from the battlefield. A soldier, on the huge battlefield, carefully searched for bullets, weapons and ammunition scattered by the searchers, and did not let go of even a single piece of shrapnel..."Report to the commander, the battle has ended victoriously. More than 14,000 people of the 14th Division of the Chinese Army who entered the mountain, from the division commander down to the commander, were all wiped out by our army. Among them, 124 people were captured, and countless materials and ammunition of various kinds were seized, and they are now being counted. In addition, the losses of various units are also counted. I think that before dawn, all the statistics should be completed..."As the fighting stopped, the atmosphere in the temporary headquarters of the military sub-district was slowly becoming lively. Whether it is the commander Wang Nanhu or an ordinary combat staff officer, everything he does is full of smiles. At this moment, the chief of staff ran in with excitement on his face and reported loudly.
"Good, well played. From the beginning of the battle to the final end, we only had six hours, and we fought too well. Chief of Staff, there are still a maximum of four hours before dawn, reinforcements from the little devil planes. After four hours, all the troops must immediately retreat into the mountains..."After listening to the report of the chief of staff, Commander Wang Nanhu couldn't help but slap a table stacked with ammunition boxes in front of him, and ordered with excitement on his face.
"Yes, Commander, I'm going to deliver the order," replied the Chief of Staff in a loud voice.
"Wait a minute, Chief of Staff. Lao Wang, I think so, on the ground, we have packed up the clothes of the army and annihilated them all. You see, are we going to multiply the results of the battle and win a battle in heaven? You know, in tonight's battle, the air defense brigade supported our two regiments, but they haven't opened meat yet..."Looking at the chief of staff who was hurriedly preparing to leave. Chen Revolution, the political commissar on the side, hurriedly called him back and said thoughtfully.
"Lao Chen, what do you mean is that let the two air defense regiments of the military region support us, and here they will also fight an ambush battle for the planes that the little devils have come to reinforce..."Hearing Chen's words, Wang Nanhu, as his old partner, was the first to react.
"Yes, Lao Wang, that's what I meant. If early tomorrow morning, the plane that the little devils came to reinforce will find that one of the troops of one of their divisions has been completely wiped out by us. You say, what will these little devil pilots do? Looking at the commander Wang Nanhu, who had already understood what he meant, Political Commissar Chen Revolution continued to ask.
"Needless to say, according to the mentality of the little devil who has revenge. It must be an attempt to find our main forces and then carry out a crazy revenge. Even if we can't find our main forces, they will blow up in our base area... However, if the latter is the case, then the common people in the base area will suffer. Wang Nanhu replied.
"Lao Wang, you are right, ambush the little devil plane, even if it is to expand the results of our battle this time. From another point of view, transfer all the revenge of the little devils to our troops and alleviate the damage that the common people may suffer. Chen replied affirmatively.
"Lao Chen, I agree with your plan, which unit do you think we should use as bait, and how to arrange it specifically..."After listening to the words of the political commissar, Commander Wang Nanhu also found out that the problem was serious. hurriedly walked in front of the sand table and asked his old partner Chen Revolution.
"Lao Wang, look here, this place is surrounded by mountains, and it is an absolutely ideal battlefield..."As he spoke, the political commissar had already pointed to the artillery position of the heavy artillery regiment at this moment.
"Artillery positions? Well, the terrain here is indeed very powerful for us, and more importantly, all the anti-aircraft artillery of the two anti-aircraft regiments is also arranged on these hills, and there is no need to transfer them at all... But what do we use to lure the enemy? Looking at the artillery positions surrounded by mountains, Wang Nanhu asked thoughtfully.
"Of course, the artillery position is to use artillery to lure the enemy, and in the battle at night, the dozens of various mountain artillery guns gathered by the little devils should be completely destroyed by us. Let the fighters take these blown up barrels and transport them to the artillery positions for a little arrangement. I think that the little devil pilot should not find any flaws at an altitude of several hundred meters... When the time comes, as long as the planes of the little devils drop bombs at low altitudes, all the anti-control artillery will fire ... Of course, as for the specific way of playing, we don't count it, we have to listen to the front-line commanders. Political Commissar Chen Revolution replied affirmatively.
"Okay, let's just fight... Chief of Staff, immediately follow the orders of the commissar to convey the order. As for the specific tasks, they will be handed over to the new 1st regiment and the 2nd new regiment to handle ... In the process of fighting, they almost acted as a battle reserve, and now is the time for them to go to the battlefield..."Wang Nanhu also ordered with a confident face.
"Yes, commander, commissar, I'll go and arrange..."
With the order of the command headquarters, the two main regiments and more than 4,000 soldiers left for the battlefield. On the artillery position of the Japanese army, several people in groups carried a piece of artillery that had been blown up, and transported it to the position where the heavy artillery regiment was located at their fastest speed.
A total of more than 20 pieces of blown up artillery were finally transported to the artillery position a few kilometers away before dawn. After almost half an hour of arrangement, an artillery cluster appeared on the heavy artillery position just now. And looking at the artillery that had been blown up by a gate erected again at the bottom of the mountain, the soldiers of the two air defense regiments stationed on the top of several hills almost smiled on their faces.
"Comrades, the artillery under the mountain was specially prepared for us by Commander Wang. Commander Wang said: In yesterday's battle, all units had fruitful results, and our air defense units could not do without them. Therefore, Commander Wang has also prepared a big gift for our air defense forces, and whether we can seize this opportunity or not depends on ourselves. Comrades tell me, do you have the confidence, give a lesson to the little devil air force unit, let them know that our Eighth Route Army is not easy to mess with..."Looking at all the commanders above the company level in front of him, = the commander of the air defense regiment shouted loudly.
"Yes," dozens of commanders at and above the company level shouted loudly.
"Okay, after the meeting is adjourned, all the troops will be ready for combat and battle, and they will not open fire until I give the order. Is it clear that no one can expose the target in advance without an order to open fire? Looking at the commander with high morale in front of him, the regiment commander continued.
"Clear..."
With the issuance of the combat order, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and dozens of heavy machine guns reinforced by the main forces had already been deployed on various hills. At the same time, the muzzle of the black hole was held high, and the muzzle of the gun was quietly waiting for the arrival of the little devil plane. The eyes of all the fighters were looking at the sky without blinking, hoping that the little devil's plane would come over soon.
Finally, in everyone's anticipation, the sky finally brightened. After a night of fierce battles, as the sun slowly rose, it came into everyone's field of vision. At this moment, on the battlefield within a radius of several kilometers, in addition to the corpses of the messy little devil soldiers, there were only streams of gunpowder smoke that were still flowing upward, indicating that a very tragic battle had just been fought here.
As for the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and a large amount of heavy equipment captured. Before dawn, with the efforts of the soldiers, they were all transported into the mountains, leaving no trace. There were only two air defense regiments of more than a thousand fighters, holding on to the mountains around the artillery positions, waiting for the arrival of the little devil planes.
