Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Bloody Battle (4)
Lin Sanhu said to the communication soldiers: "Immediately order the artillery battalion to blow up those little beans for me!" ”
Liu Deming, the commander of the first battalion at the forefront of the encirclement, looked at these tanks that were constantly spitting tongues of fire, and he was furious. Once these tanks broke through the encirclement, the Japanese troops behind would inevitably flee, and the ambush mission would fail.
Liu Deming shouted, "Damn, who's going to give me a way to blow him up." ”
A platoon commander next to him immediately said, "I'll go." He prepared to rush down the mountain with a cluster grenade.
At this time, the communication corps rushed up and shouted, "The regiment commander said that let's contain these Iron Kings, don't charge casually." ”
Liu Deming looked at the unscrupulous tanks and commanded, "All the heavy machine guns, fire at the Iron King!" ”
At this time, Liu Deming suddenly saw a violent explosion around those tanks, and then he knew that the division headquarters was preparing to use artillery to deal with these Iron Kings. Liu Deming clapped his hands and shouted, "It's good, blow up these little devils!" ”
Pity this 94 tank with the thickest armor of only 6 mm, even risking a heavy machine gun charge, the driver inside is terrified, not to mention these countless shells, this is an 82 mm mortar shell, although there is no lethality to the Type 98, but it is also appropriate to bully the Type 94, the most important thing is that these tanks are in the narrow mountain road, before the battle, the artillery battalion has already marked all the places, so one hit is accurate, and the Type 94 is still riveted, After being hit, the rivets flew everywhere and killed the driver inside. I only saw three Type 94s in front, and within a few minutes, two of them stopped in a ball of fire. The remaining one hurried to the side of the hill to avoid the shelling.
Liu Deming looked at such a scene and thought for a while, and said: "Go and tell the three battalions who are ready to send reinforcements, let them think of a way, it is best to blow up the road completely, otherwise if the devils who come back to help also have these iron kings, we will be in trouble." ”
The communications soldier nodded and hurriedly left.
Matsuo Daiki saw that the soldiers around him had already taken cover behind the bunker, and shouted, "Order the troops to concentrate and storm in the direction of Pingxingguan!" Beware of enemy fire. ”
Yuta Shibata next to him hurriedly said, "Matsuo-kun, we are still dozens of miles away from Pingxingguan, and it is impossible to rush out, so let's rush back." There were defenders in that town. We are flanked on both sides, and we will definitely be able to break through easily. ”
Matsuo shook his head resolutely and said, "The art of war has clouds, but the truth is false, and the virtual is real." The commander of this unit dared to ambush continuously, and he was deeply aware of the mystery of the art of war, and must have ambushed heavy troops in the rear where it was easiest for us to break through, but the front would be the only breakthrough point, and once again sent a telegram to His Excellency the division commander, asking the 21st Wing to come to the rescue as soon as possible. We were besieged by at least one army of the Chinese people. ”
The battle continued, and the surrounded Japanese troops kept gathering together. Using the cover to desperately counterattack, the firepower network composed of 92 heavy machine guns, crooked sub-machine guns, and grenadiers caused a lot of trouble to the ambushed fighters, but fortunately, the 115th Division at this time did not have much else, just more machine guns and more grenades. The fire of more than 150 light and heavy machine guns was concentrated, which made the Japanese troops under the hillside cry bitterly, and often a machine gunner was targeted at several surrounding fire points at the same time before he could fire a few shots, and several fire whips swept by, and the machine gunner lay down and could no longer move. More of it was a myriad of grenades flying everywhere. The little devils need to find dead corners everywhere, just hoping that they will not be directly bombed by the Eighth Route Army on the hillside.
Itagaki Seishiro's eyes widened when he received Matsuo Daiki's telegram, he could never have imagined that such a bold commander would dare to take advantage of the fire. I just hit an ambush on my own, and I actually came again. Itagaki Seishiro was furious, only to feel that he was deeply despised by this commander. He immediately ordered the 21 Wing and the defenders from all over the country to go to the rescue, and at the same time ordered the aviation to take off urgently. After doing it, Seishiro Itagaki still couldn't believe it. slapped himself hard before he finally determined that this was not a nightmare.
The commander of the 21st Wing, Yoshio Sasaki, was directing the troops to prepare for another attack on Heikataguan when suddenly the signal soldier handed him a telegram from Seishiro Itagaki. After reading it, he asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you didn't get the wrong telegram?" Wasn't this the telegram of three days ago? ”
The communication soldier blushed and said, "Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the order is not wrong, this is the order I just received." ”
Sasaki Keio scolded, "Yaga, these red deer were actually ambushed again, are they all water in their heads?" In this way, the third brigade, you immediately put together your combat readiness and start your departure in half an hour, followed by the other troops. ”
Just as Keio Sasaki was about to come to the rescue, a roaring explosion suddenly sounded from the position.
When Yoshio Sasaki walked out of the camp, he saw that it was actually the army on the flat type of pass shelling his position. There are also Chinese troops on both sides of the periphery attacking themselves.
Yoshio Sasaki really feels that he must have seen a ghost today, when will it be the turn of the Shina army to attack the imperial army.
Keio Sasaki drew his command knife and shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy, and the artillery squadron will immediately return fire!" ”
The staff officer next to him said, "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, what about the return of reinforcements?" ”
Sasaki Keio shouted, "Yaga, the people of China must be several times more than our army if they dare to attack, and our army will only suffer losses if they retreat now, let the third brigade return to help first, and the other troops will counterattack on the spot." ”
Gao Guizi looked at the battle situation on the front line, and at first, the troops took advantage of the assault, but they were quickly beaten back to the prototype, and there were hundreds of casualties in less than half an hour, Gao Guizi said with sweat on his face, "Sun Chu, that turtle king bastard, hasn't he sent troops yet?" Did he even dare not listen to Yan Xishan's words? ”
Li Xianzhou next to him shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is what Yan Xishan meant." ”
At this time, a staff officer said, "Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived." ”
Gao Guizi frowned and smiled, "Mother, it's finally here, how many people have come?" ”
The staff officer said, "There is a battalion, probably the vanguard. ”
Gao Guizi nodded and said, "It's good to come, let's go and greet you." ”
After speaking, Gao Guizi led everyone to the gate, and saw hundreds of people armed outside, an officer saluted Gao Guizi and said, "The commander of the second battalion of the third regiment of the 73rd division of the 33rd army has seen the commander, and we were ordered to come to reinforcements. ”
Gao Guizi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll order someone to take you to the position later." You are the vanguard, how many troops are you coming? ”
The officer looked at Gao Guizi and said, "I'm sorry, we're just here to boost the morale of your army." There was no order for us to go into battle. ”
Gao Guizi said in disbelief: "Then what are you doing here?" ”
I saw that these soldiers suddenly didn't know where to take out a small drum and said, "Drum and cheer!!" ”
Gao Guizi's eyes were wide open, and he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "Are you just looking at it?" ”
The officer nodded and said, "Yes, we're just here to boost morale." ”
Gao Guizi directly pulled out his gun and said, "If you dare to watch my brother die like this." I'll send you all down first, believe it or not, come here, set up machine guns, and force them to go to war. ”
The officer hurriedly shouted, "Sir, you can't do this, we are under the orders of Commander Sun." ”
Gao Guizi scolded, "Lao Tzu doesn't care what military orders you have, let me tell you, go to the battlefield, Lao Tzu will send you the ocean, don't go." I'll give you a bullet, you decide. ”
The officer reluctantly picked up his gun and led his subordinates to the front line one by one.
At this time, the Japanese artillery suddenly became powerful, countless shells fell to the position, these reinforcements were directly frightened to the ground, and when the artillery fire passed, they slowly raised their heads, but saw that the Japanese army began to charge.
Gao Guizi didn't have time to care about them anymore, picked up a submachine gun and said, "Brothers, the brothers of the Eighth Route Army are besieging their transport convoy behind, and if you win this battle, the little devil will run out of ammunition and food." We must buy time for them. Give it to Lao Tzu!! As he spoke, he took the officer corps and began to rush forward.
The main general used his life, how could the others spare their lives, only to see the soldiers of the 17th Army fighting together with the Japanese soldiers with bayonets, for a while. Limbs flew in all directions, blood flowed everywhere, and heads rolled on the ground.
A man's head rolled in front of the officer, and the hideous face that was still fighting before he died frightened the officer and jumped up. Then he ran straight back with the people, and remembered that there was a law enforcement team, so he walked directly around the pass.
Someone was seen retreating. The morale that had finally been mustered up was also discharged, and Gao Guizi had no choice but to take the remnants of the defeated army to defend the Pingxing Pass again.
Yoshio Sasaki shook his head with a smile and said, "But that's it, leave a brigade to watch these incompetents, and the others will follow me back to help." ”
At this time, the 115th Division in the ambush circle had a headache with the two medium tanks, only to see that relying on these two tanks and two other light tanks, hundreds of Japanese troops hid on both sides of the hillside and continued to counterattack, and then slowly moved towards Xiaocai Village.
Lin Sanhu hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" What is the 685 Regiment doing? What happened to the Japanese troops in other directions? ”
Zhou Kun replied, "The Japanese army in the back has been dispersed, and now only these more than 300 Japanese troops are still together." ”
Lin Sanhu said: "What about the artillery battalion? Can you hit it? ”
Zhou Kun shook his head and said, "Now the Japanese army is on both sides of the road, and it is easy to hit our own people." ”
Lin Sanhu walked around twice and said, "Gather all the watermelon mines and attack them with watermelon mines." ”
At this time, the signal soldier came and said, "Division commander, the 17th Army is calling, because the 33rd Army is not moving, there are now a large number of devils rushing to our battlefield, and it will arrive in about two hours." ”
Another signal corpsman reported: "Report to the division commander, the independent regiment is calling, the Guangling Japanese army has been dispatched, the cavalry battalion is using guerrilla tactics to contain it, and the Japanese army in Lingqiu has also been dispatched, and the second battalion of the independent regiment is blocking it." ”
Lin Sanhu looked at the map, ate a handful of soybeans and said, "Order the 685th Regiment to aim at time to blow up the mountain." ”
At this time, the vanguard of the 21st Wing had arrived in Xinzhuang, and Liang Xingchu, the commander of the third battalion, looked at the Japanese troops running forward, and shouted with a smile, "Fight!" ”
I only saw a dozen MG34s firing together, and the clatter of MG34 instantly flooded the entire valley, and dozens of devils at the front fell into a pool of blood without saying a word.
On the other side of Xiaocai Village, the Japanese assault combined with the attack of the 89th tank caused heavy casualties to the 115th Division, Lin Sanhu looked at the wounded soldiers who kept moving behind, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he shouted, "Aren't you ready yet?" ”
After a while, the signal soldier said excitedly, "Okay, all the watermelon mines are gathered." ”
Lin Sanhu shouted, "Throw it to me!" ”
To put it bluntly, the watermelon mine is a super-large grenade, the general grenade charge is only about 100 grams, and the anti-tank grenade is only 7 or 800 grams, and the charge of this watermelon mine is several kilograms, and the power can be imagined. Seeing only one order, all the machine guns opened fire fiercely, and after suppressing the Japanese firepower, hundreds of soldiers raised watermelon mines and threw them down. Only the sound of the explosion was heard, the Japanese army was blown up, the shock wave of the explosion blew so that the soldiers on the hillside felt a strong wind blowing and couldn't open their eyes, and when the black smoke disappeared, they only saw that the remaining four tanks were only the last two Zhongtan, one of which had its track broken and could not move, and the other was even more black smoke.
Just when the Japanese army felt that the end was coming, a series of explosions came from the hillside.
Lin Sanhu hurriedly picked up the binoculars to look, but saw that it was seven or eight planes that were indiscriminately bombing the position of Xiaocai Village, and from time to time they were strafing the ground.
Although the fighters fought back desperately with light machine guns. But the effect was extremely poor, after all, the Eighth Route Army at this time did not have enough experience in air combat, and in the end it could only hide in bunkers to avoid bombing. Seeing the Japanese planes coming to help, countless Japanese soldiers cheered.
Just when Matsuo Daiki thought that he could fight his way out of the encirclement, he heard a huge explosion in the distance, and then saw a puff of dust drifting up.
Matsuo muttered, "What's the matter?" Isn't that where our reinforcements are going? ”
Keio Sasaki knew the situation best, and he finally came to Baiyatai with the main force, and even brought a few armored vehicles to help. Liang Xingchu saw that he was almost unstoppable, and waved his hand and shouted, "Detonate!" ”
I saw that the slopes on both sides were suddenly blown apart, and countless earth and rocks rolled onto the road in the middle. The road was blocked alive. It turned out that after receiving the battle report from the front, Liang Xingchu proposed to Lin Sanhu the idea of using a large number of explosives to blow up the mountain to block the enemy.
Keio Sasaki scolded, "Yaga." These people are so hateful, quick, get these things out of the way. "But this is not a hundred or thousands of tons of rocks, where is it so easy to move, plus the attack of the Eighth Route Army. In the end, Keio Sasaki could only abandon the armored car and then find a way to let the infantry advance on foot, but even so. There are not hours and it is impossible to move on.
When the 21st Wing was desperately trying to open the passage, the battle of the ambush circle came to an end, the Japanese planes could not stay in the air for a long time, and left after the ammunition was finished, Lin Sanhu knew that the more time dragged on, the more dangerous it became, and immediately ordered the army to start charging.
Lin Sanhu shouted, "Send the reserve team up, learn the lesson of the last time, don't think about catching any prisoners anymore, except for those who surrender voluntarily, kill them all!" ”
Matsuo looked at the army rushing down the mountain, and finally saw the number of this unit - the Eighth Route Army.
Matsuo Daiki looked at the battle line in front of him, looked at the Japanese soldiers who were constantly falling to the ground, and then saw the empty sky, and already knew in his heart that the general trend had gone. The only last 89 tank that could be seen as hope had been blown up and destroyed after being paralyzed by a group of Eighth Route Army.
Matsuo sighed with great joy, looked at his command knife and said to the signal soldier next to him, "The commander of the power generation division, his subordinates led his troops to fight hard for five hours, although our troops were brave, but they suffered from too many enemy troops, too much firepower, and no hope for reinforcements, so his subordinates could commit suicide and apologize." By the way, remember to tell the commander of Itagaki Seishiro's division that it was the Eighth Route Army that ambushed us!! After speaking, he kowtowed to the east and shouted, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor." He committed suicide by disemboweling himself with a knife, and Yuta Shibata next to him also kowtowed to Dongfang with tears in his eyes, and tremblingly took out a pistol and shot himself in the temple.
Seishiro Itagaki watched the telegram slowly sit down in his seat, pulled out the bushido on the table and slashed it on the table, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Eighth Route Army!! ”
Lin Sanhu saw that the last regiment of Japanese troops had also been dispersed, and said, "Let everyone hurry up and clean up the battlefield, don't scrape the corpses anymore, and move the things on those cars first." ”
Saying that, Lin Sanhu asked, "How are the Japanese reinforcements on both sides?" ”
Zhou Kun said, "The devils in the direction of Pingxingguan were blocked by the rocks, and it would take about another hour to continue the march, and the other side had been blocked for more than two hours, and the casualties were not large due to the containment of the cavalry battalion." ”
Lin Sanhu pondered for a while and said, "Clean up the battlefield in one hour, and evacuate all after two hours." ”
When Yoshio Sasaki finally cleared out the passage and rushed to the battlefield, he only saw countless corpses and Matsuo Oki, who was still disemboweling.
Yoshio Sasaki slowly covered Matsuo Daiki's eyes and sighed, "Let's see how many people are still alive." Also, the head of the power generation division, the transport unit has been completely wiped out. What should we do next. In addition, the ammunition supply of my 21st Wing can only hold out for another five days. ”
-- Black Mountain Village
Lin Sanhu looked at the countless wounded soldiers who were unconscious, or **, or gritted their teeth and persisted, and said to Ye Qingshan, the director of the field hospital, "How many wounded soldiers are there now." ”
Ye Qingshan sighed, "It's close to six hundred, and it's still increasing, although there are enough medicines, but the number of doctors and nurses is insufficient, especially the doctors who can do surgery." ”
Lin Sanhu nodded and said, "Do your best, I will react to the central government in the future." After saying that, he spoke to a few wounded soldiers for a while, and then came to the open space on the other side, which was already full of things.
Luo Ronghuan was helping to count on the side, and Lin Sanhu asked, "How about it, it's no longer clothes this time." ”
Luo Ronghuan said with a smile, "Great harvest, most of them are weapons and ammunition this time, and the specific amount will take a while." ”
Lin Sanhu looked at the open box full of bullets and nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the meeting first, and then come back after you finish counting." (To be continued......)
