Chapter 816: Beautiful Annihilation Battle (Ask for Subscription!) ）――

Beautiful war of annihilation

Located in the dense forest at the foot of Mahu Mountain, it is less than a kilometer away from the highway from Nanjing to Zhenjiang.

In this small dense forest, the 2,000 commanders and fighters of the 137th Regiment, the most powerful main force of the 16th Army of the Sixth Corps, under the command of the regiment commander Li Shengda, were like hungry wolves waiting for their prey, with the help of the cover of the woods, quietly lurking here, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Japanese puppet army.

At the forefront of the sortie position, under the cover of thick bushes, Li Shengda, who had already been promoted to regimental commander. In front of all the battalion and company commanders gathered around him, he gave specific combat missions.

"Regiment commander, with only the strength of one of our regiments, will it be too risky to go straight to the headquarters of the Japanese division...." After listening to the introduction of head Li Shengda, political commissar Wang Zhiguang asked with a worried face.

"The total strength of the Japanese puppet army is 100,000 people, and their division and regiment headquarters will definitely become the object of heavy protection for these 100,000 people. In the midst of 100,000 heavy troops, it is almost impossible to take the headquarters of the Japanese division and regiment directly ...

In response to the political commissar's rhetorical question, Li Shengda smiled very confidently, and then spoke.

"Political commissar, when I first accepted this task, I also had the same rhetorical question. However, after listening to the commander's detailed analysis, I was full of confidence in the operation we were about to undertake. ”

"Let's think about it, although the total strength of the Japanese puppet reinforcements that attacked this time has reached 100,000.

However, the elite infantry of the Japanese army, which has really undergone field training, is less than 20,000 people. ”

"I won't say much about the puppet army, with the combat effectiveness of my 137th regiment and the existing equipment of the troops, coupled with the suddenness of the entire attack, there is no problem at all to break through the defense line of the puppet army. So, next, I want to tell you about the problem of the Japanese army. ”

"Among the Japanese reinforcements in this sortie, in addition to their division and regimental headquarters as the key points of protection, the two heavy artillery wings and one field heavy artillery wing that followed the reinforcements, including their baggage wings, were the key points of protection. In this way, the strength allocated to the division and regimental headquarters is no more than one infantry wing, that is, the strength of 4,000 people. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Head Lee Seung-da continued to speak.

"Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that before launching a surprise attack, our artillery units will concentrate all their firepower and launch a ten-minute artillery attack on the Japanese troops in the middle of the reinforcements. As for the headquarters of the Japanese divisions, they will be given special care by the rocket artillery regiments. ”

"Let's think about it, even if the strength of an infantry wing is gathered around the headquarters of the Japanese division, and in the face of a salvo of rocket artillery regiments, an instantaneous blow of a full 600 rocket artillery shells, what will be left. Our 137th Regiment, after a salvo of rocket artillery regiments, continued the artillery bombardment of other artillery units and launched an unexpected and sudden attack. So I hope that you will continue to carry forward the spirit of our 137th Regiment in the upcoming battle. In the shortest possible time, the Japanese headquarters will be smashed and its supreme command organs destroyed..."

For a moment, everyone's faces were instantly enveloped in excitement. A pair of shining eyes, staring at Commander Li Shengda in front of him, was like seeing a lot of battle exploits.

"Alright, I've said everything I need to say. Everyone immediately returned to their positions and did a good job in the ideological work of the fighters. Remember, during the battle, which company dragged me back from the 137th regiment, I will find trouble with whoever after the battle...." Li Shengda finally ordered.

"Please rest assured, Commander. This time, our company will definitely capture a little devil lieutenant general's division commander's command knife and give it to you...." The company commander replied eagerly.

"What is your company. This command knife must belong to our second company..."

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the figure of the forward regiment of the Japanese reinforcements also appeared around the battlefield, in the eyes of all the commanders and fighters. Seeing groups of Japanese puppet troops walking in front of him with great momentum, Regiment Commander Li Shengda couldn't wait to rush onto the highway immediately and tear all these Japanese puppet troops to pieces.

However, thinking of the task personally assigned to him by the commander, Li Shengda still resisted the excitement in his heart and quietly waited for the arrival of the Japanese division headquarters. …,

Finally, under his anxious waiting, a marching column of infantry wings, all composed of Japanese troops, appeared in front of Li Shengda. Seeing a few military trucks carrying a large number of radio stations and Japanese commanders among the more than 3,000 little devils, a sneer quickly flashed at the corner of Li Shengda's mouth. Then, facing the subordinates behind him, he ordered in a deep voice.

"Summons the order, all of them, prepare for the assault..."

With the crisp sound of weapon loading, three sharp signal flare explosions immediately reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield. Immediately after, before everyone could react, a huge whistling sound of breaking the air sounded in their ears.

"Boom, boom, boom Just opposite 1, a dense marching column composed of thousands of Japanese elites was shrouded in flames and smoke from the instant explosion of more than 100 rockets.

Seeing the marching column of the Japanese army completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke in front of him, Li Shengda, as the regiment commander, did not know the specific situation. However, knowing well the power of the salvo of the rocket artillery regiment, he did not hesitate to order the troops behind him, under the cover of other artillery fire around him, to launch an attack ....

"Comrades, now that 10,000 artillery pieces are being fired, it is our best chance to go straight to the Japanese command. Now I order, the whole regiment from below, immediately launch an attack, the target, the headquarters of the Japanese division. Brothers, rush, capture Sakata alive...."

As soon as Li Shengda's command fell, dozens of heavy machine guns arranged on the high ground behind him emitted a dull sound of shooting. Dozens of tongues of fire, like an impermeable fire net, shot quickly towards the highway not far away, completely shrouded in gunsmoke.

At the same time as the heavy machine guns opened fire, the entire 137th Regiment, with a total of more than 30 crooked light machine guns and nearly 100 machine gunners, jumped up from the ground. Despite the constant whistling of shells overhead, he pulled the trigger of the light machine gun in his hand and fired a dense rain of bullets into the road while launching the most rapid attack.

Completely enveloped in gunsmoke, less than a kilometer long on the road. At this moment, it can be said that corpses are everywhere. On the highway that has been completely stained red with blood, there are corpses everywhere, stumps and broken arms, and there is almost no place to put your feet. It can be said that the instantaneous blow of more than 600 rockets almost completely incapacitated an infantry wing around the headquarters of the Japanese division.

However, under such a fierce blow, Lieutenant General Sakata, who was the commander of the division, survived unharmed under the protection of the guards around him.

Smelling the strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke in the air, I saw the tragic scene in front of me. Even Lieutenant General Sakata, who has been in the army for decades and has experienced countless battle formations, couldn't help but be shocked. However, at this moment, there was no time for him to continue to appreciate the scene caused by a salvo of the rocket artillery regiment of the East China Field Army.

"Report to the division commander, the people of China have begun to attack, and about a regiment of troops is quickly rushing towards us..." A captain with the rank of junior on his shoulders and scarred reported in horror.

"Attacking us, didn't the shelling of the people of China just start, aren't they afraid of hurting their own people..." Lieutenant General Sakata, who reacted, asked rhetorically.

Because, at this moment, except for his division headquarters, after receiving a salvo of rocket artillery, there was no other artillery fire. Before and after him, the entire East China Field Army, several artillery regiments assembled, still spared no effort to launch artillery bombardments...

However, as soon as his words fell, the puzzled Lieutenant General Sakata reacted sideways. Then, he roared with a frightened face: "Yaga, the people of China are too cunning, they want to destroy our command organ. ”

"Quick, order the divisional guard brigade, the 189th Infantry Wing, to counterattack immediately, no matter what, to block the pace of the attack of the Zhinamen ...."

However, just as his order was given, before the captain of Shaozuo in front of him could answer, a series of dense machine-gun strafing sounds reached his ears. Immediately behind, the young staff officer standing in front of him was shot several times and fell in a pool of blood covered in blood. …,

"Yaga, what about the guard brigade, immediately counterattack, quickly, counterattack..." Under the protection of the guards around him, Lieutenant General Sakata, who once again escaped the rain of bullets, when did he become so embarrassed. With an angry face, he didn't have time to get up from the ground, so he roared loudly at the surviving subordinates around him.

However, at this moment, there was no sound for answering him, except for the dense sound of machine gun fire and the rumbling of shell explosions not far away.

Because, his guard brigade, including an infantry wing, had a strength of four thousand people. After a salvo of rocket artillery regiments, most of them were lost, and less than one brigade was left to continue the operation.

However, what Lieutenant General Sakata did not expect was that an infantry brigade scattered on an average of a 1,000-meter road and had high hopes for him, faced with the fierce attack of more than 2,000 soldiers of the 137th Regiment and dozens of crooked handles, did not even block a round of attack, and fell in a pool of blood in the dense rain of bullets, along with his companions.

Without the footprints of the Japanese army as a formed unit, the Japanese stragglers wandering on the road could not be the opponent of the 137th Regiment at all. In less than a few minutes, more than 2,000 tigers of the 137th Regiment rushed onto the road and began to clear the remnants of the enemy.

Of course, lying on the ground, in a short time, Lieutenant General Sakata, who had not yet figured out the specific reason, had not yet had time to find out his own knife to commit suicide. Under the punches and kicks of several fighters, he was trapped by a rope and became the first lieutenant general division commander to be captured in the entire Central China Front....
