Chapter 137: Bloody Battle in Huzhou (Middle)

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Smack...... "The devils hiding in the fortifications opened fire one after another, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun, the crooked light machine gun, and the Type 38 rifle opened fire one after another.......

Dense bullets rained down on the charging commandos like hailstones, and the commandos fell in droves.

At this time, the devil's grenadier also opened fire in vain, and the grenadier "tom tom......" The grenadier made a rapid muffled sound, and then the grenade exploded with a whistling whistle.

Shrapnel flew into the crowd of commandos, and a dozen hapless fighters were blown to a bloody pulp.

......The Thomson submachine guns in the hands of the commandos began to fire back, and the characteristic gunfire of Chicago typewriters suddenly intertwined into a joy of death.

The stormy charge bombs flew towards the devil's fortifications like a storm, and the dense bullets hit the devil's bunker, and for a time the earth chips flew and the sand and stones flew.

Many bullets hit the target, and suddenly turned the devil soldiers who were lying in the fortifications and shooting into corpses, most of the devils were shot in the head, and their dirty heads were bounced open by submachine guns like watermelons, bursting open, and their brains and blood splashed out.

Kong Xiangjie held the submachine gun and charged forward in a zigzag pattern, from time to time bullets whistling past his ears, and some shells landed and exploded not far away.

Seeing the commandos being shot and sacrificed one after another, Kong Xiangjie was very anxious, after such a fierce shelling, the devil's firepower was still so dense and tough.

Just when the offensive of the commandos was in jeopardy, the main forces of the regiments that followed up joined the battle, and with the addition of the main forces of the regiments, the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides began to appear.

The rate of fire of an M1 Garand is much higher than that of the three devils, and the submachine gun devils are even more not, and the strength is determined, and the devil soldiers who originally had the advantage were quickly suppressed by the powerful firepower of the Tiger Brigade.

"The general is not good, the equipment of the Zhina people is too good, their assault firepower is too strong, and the 35th Wing is about to be unable to stop it." The chief of staff of the 18th Division at the head of Huzhou City, Megumi Koto, held a telescope and said in horror.

"It seems that we still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Brigade." Nakajima Sadao's face became particularly solemn, and then he said coldly: "Order the kamikaze drones, attack, and die with the Shina people!" ”

"Hay!" Koto Megumi's expression changed greatly when she heard this, but she suddenly bowed her head and responded.

The so-called kamikaze drones are nothing more than some soldiers armed with explosives bags and grenades, originally Nakajima Sadao deployed such a death squad to deal with the armored troops of the Tiger Brigade, but now the front line is urgent, so Nakajima Sadao has to use the kamikaze drones in advance.

In fact, Nakajima Sadao was helpless to do this, he knew that the individual soldiers of the Tiger Brigade were extremely well-equipped, and once they attacked the position, the Imperial Army's proud white-bladed stabbing would not be able to play, so the only way to resist the Tiger Brigade was the kamikaze.

It can be seen from this that Sadao Nakajima has made a bloody investment in order to be able to resist the Tiger Brigade. It can be seen that the progress of the army, and now the birth of the Tiger Brigade has the inevitable surname and the assault surname and the devil's unfamiliarity with it.

However, after the battle with the Tiger Brigade, the army that is good at reviewing itself is not so vulnerable, and they will formulate corresponding tactics and fighting methods according to the characteristics of the Tiger Brigade.

Nakajima's kamikaze drones are the best example of this, and he knows that the greatest threat from the Tiger Brigade is their armored fighting vehicle group, which is capable of destroying the Imperial Army's field fortifications before the Imperial Army has no rival armored fighting vehicle unit, resulting in the defeat of the Imperial Army.

Therefore, it must be destroyed so that the Imperial Army can defeat the Tiger Brigade with its rich combat experience and the superb archery skills of the soldiers.

Therefore, in the future battles, before the Tiger Brigade is equipped with more advanced weapons and equipment, the battle with the Yue army will become cruel.

However, the current strength of the Tiger Brigade is not much, even if the weapons equipped are better than the army, it is only a tactical force at best, and when Qiao Anbang returns to the base area, it is bound to expand the army on a large scale to deal with the War of Resistance, and then the advantages of the Tiger Brigade in weapons and equipment will be more prominent.

On the battlefield, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Tiger Brigade were approaching the position of the army with their powerful individual firepower, and seeing that they were able to rush into the devil's position, those devil soldiers who were still desperately resisting just now retreated back along the traffic trench one after another.

On the Tiger Brigade attack position, seeing that his troops were about to attack the position of the Yue Army, Qiao Anbang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put down the binoculars in his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lowered his head to light the cigarette.

"Rush...... Brothers, victory is at hand, and we belong to the tiger group, kill! Kong Xiangjie, the commander of the first regiment, led the commando team to cross the first-line trench of the devils, waved and shouted vigorously.

"Rush, kill!" The more than 100 commandos who had survived the battle immediately echoed each other, roared angrily, and followed Kong Xiangjie over the devil's trench and rushed deep towards the devil's position.

In the next moment, thousands of officers and men of each regiment also crossed the trenches one after another, and rushed forward after the commandos, and then the sappers who followed stopped in the anti-tank trench on the periphery of the devil's position, and the sapper shovels that began to be waved began to work quickly.

Kong Xiangjie led more than 100 commandos to rush to the vicinity of the second trench of the devils, and suddenly, dozens of devils covered with explosives and grenades suddenly jumped out of the trenches, and dozens of devils rang the fuse one after another, and rushed towards Kong Xiangjie and the commandos with hideous faces.

Because the distance was too close, the squeaky and smoking devil death squad rushed up almost before Kong Xiangjie and the soldiers could shoot, and by the time the commandos reacted and opened fire, it was too late.

Dozens of devil death squads pounced on the commandos with bullshit slogans such as long live the emperor in bird language.

"Boom, boom!" Violent explosions suddenly sounded one after another, and the explosive bags and grenades on dozens of devils exploded at the same time, the power was very amazing, and Kong Xiangjie and hundreds of commandos were enveloped in the sky...... in an instant.

Qiao Anbang, who was far behind, was even more startled by the loud explosion, and the cigarette that had just been lit in his mouth quietly fell.

Qiao Anbang suddenly raised his head and saw that the devil's position in front of him had already ignited a sky-high fire, and the dazzling red light rushed into the sky with the thick smoke.

He hurriedly picked up the binoculars and hurriedly looked forward, only to see that the soldiers who were charging stopped one after another, and then retreated back to the front-line trenches that had just been captured in a little panic.

Qiao Anbang was worried when a soldier staggered back from the front with a bloody face full of grief, and he choked up before he could stand up: "Brigade seat! The devil suddenly organized dozens of death squads with explosives bags around their waists to launch a counterattack on our commando team, and the commander of the first regiment, Kong Xiangjie, and hundreds of brothers of the commando team were all spared, and all of them died heroically! ”

"What?" Qiao Anbang suddenly gasped when he heard this, and couldn't help clenching his fists, he really didn't expect that the devil would use the death squad to fight the jade crushing battle in a frenzy!

After pondering for a while, Qiao Anbang roared angrily: "Pass my order, the front-line troops will be stationed on the spot to win time for the sappers, and the artillery battalion will immediately shell the depth of the army's position, shoot all the shells, don't leave a single shot, and avenge Commander Kong!" ”

"Yes!" The warrior hurriedly stepped forward, and immediately turned around and walked away quickly.

After seeing the soldiers leave, Qiao Anbang turned around with a blue face and walked towards the communication car of the communication company, and Wang Gensheng, the commander of the guard company next to him, hurriedly followed with the guards.

"Yali, come out." Qiao Anbang strode to the communication car of the communication company and said to Yali, who was guarding in front of the radio station with headphones.

"Oh!" Yali turned around in surprise and saw that it was Qiao Anbang, so she quickly answered, took off her headphones, and got out of the car.

Artillery battalion positions.

A herald ran into the artillery battalion headquarters with a quick panting, and saluted the commander of the artillery battalion, Wang Xuanzhu, and said: "Battalion Commander Wang, the brigade headquarters orders that the artillery battalion immediately fire at the depth of the army's position, shoot all the shells, and don't leave a single shot!" ”

"Got it!" Wang Xuanzhu immediately answered, and then whispered to the herald in confusion: "Hey, brother, what's the matter?" Didn't our artillery battalion bomb for more than half an hour earlier? The infantry did not go well on the offensive? ”

"What's not going well, the devil organized a death squad to rush into the crowd of my attacking troops with explosives bags, the attacking troops suffered heavy losses, and the head of the regiment Kong and hundreds of commandos who were responsible for leading the assault team all died heroically, and none of them were spared! The brigade seat is now furious, Battalion Commander Wang, hurry up and carry out the order! The herald replied.

"What? Commander Kong also died? Wang Xuanzhu was shocked when he heard this, and his face changed drastically.

"yes, it was so bombed that I didn't even find the corpses." The herald nodded in reply.

"Fucking little devil!" Wang Xuanzhu was suddenly furious, turned his head and gritted his teeth and roared: "Guards, order all companies to shell indiscriminately at the devil's deep position, and bombard Lao Tzu with these dog-called beasts, shoot all the shells, and leave not a single shot!" Avenge Captain Kong and the fallen brethren! ”

The next moment, the artillery battalion and the artillery companies directly under the infantry regiments opened fire one after another, and for a time hundreds of artillery pieces fired in unison, and hundreds of shells roared towards the deep positions of the army.

At this time, the devil had just withdrawn from the front-line trenches to the deep position, and was suddenly blown up by the artillery fire of the Tiger Brigade, and he screamed again and again.

At the head of Huzhou City, the commander of the 18th Division, Nakajima Sadao, couldn't help twitching a few times when he saw this, and the chief of staff on the side, Koto Megumi, said with an anxious expression: "Your Excellency General, the heavy artillery group of the Chinese people has begun to shell again, do you order the main force to retreat?" ”

"I can't withdraw it." Nakajima Sadao said with a solemn face: "The commander of the Tiger Brigade is really cunning, after its attacking troops suffered heavy losses, they did not retreat in a panic, and the imperial army was unable to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and recapture the first trench, now the people of China have been stationed in the first trench, if the imperial army retreats, they are bound to follow and pursue, the battle has just begun, and they must not give up the deep position so quickly." ”

"However, if the imperial army does not retreat, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses under the heavy artillery fire of the Chinese army!" Megumi Koto said with a worried face.

"This is war, and this battle is destined to be a war of attrition." Nakajima Sadao said with an awe-inspiring expression: "As long as we can block the Tiger Brigade, even if our entire 18th Division is exhausted, it will be cost-effective!" ”
