Chapter 187: The Counterattack of the German Mechanic
- Chen Liukou
Chenliukou is a ferry, at this time there is a squadron of Japanese troops guarding here, waiting for the Japanese troops on the other side of the Yellow River to transport supplies and logistics here, the sky is already dark, and the Japanese troops stationed here have begun to get up one after another to wash.
"Did you hear that? Lanfeng and Sanyizhai have fought, and there are a lot of people in Zhina, I don't know what happened to His Excellency the Division Commander and His Excellency the Commander. During the washing, the Japanese soldiers began to discuss the war situation with each other.
"Then don't you have to think about it? We are the 14th Division, and the people of China are our opponents. I just don't know when our reinforcements will come. A Japanese soldier said as he took the seaweed rice balls handed to him by the cook.
"Soon, didn't you see that the aviation forces have already come to reinforce it?" The cook said hehehe.
Just when these Japanese soldiers were eating, Hu Lian's troops were also eating, but they were all eating on the ground, and everyone handed each other baked cakes, which were made from a distance and sent up, just to prevent the Japanese army from finding out.
Hu Lian took a baked cake, ate it in two bites, took out his pistol, looked at his pocket watch, and the time slowly walked to half past six.
"Start !!" Hu Lian opened fire violently, and several mortar shells that had been aimed for half a day smashed into the machine gun point outside the Japanese camp.
"Baga, enemy attack, enemy attack !!" The Japanese soldiers, who were sitting on the ground eating breakfast at the door, hurriedly spit out the food in their mouths, ran to the fortifications in three steps and two steps, and began to shoot with guns.
This is a squadron with a total of 180 men, nine light machine guns, nine grenadier groups and a temporary transfer of heavy machine guns, the Japanese heavy machine guns are generally concentrated in heavy machine gun squadrons, and most ordinary squadrons will not have heavy machine guns.
And the only heavy machine gun was set up on the high platform of the ferry, although the firing range was very good, but it was blown up by the three mortars brought by Hu Lian for the first time. After a while, it becomes a part state.
"Fight, call me, snatch the ferry back for me, and burn all the devil's food." Hu Lian took the lead and ran to the front line, and from time to time bullets passed through his ears, making the guards next to him tremble.
"Master, let's go up, it's just one or two hundred devils, it's okay." The worried guards pressed Hu Lian down and lowered it with three strikes and two blows. They all rushed up with submachine guns.
Although the combat effectiveness of the 24th Division was much inferior to that before the war, its weapons and equipment were not left behind, and the division guards were all German-made submachine guns or Mauser pistols, and under the cover of the infantry behind, they took the Japanese camp gate at once.
"Haha, there are only so many little devils, God makes my Hu Lian famous for eternity, kill, kill me !!" Hu Lian rushed in when he saw only one charge. Can't help but get excited.
"Jump, jump, jump." Several grenades fired from grenadiers hit the guards with precision, and a dozen of the charging guards fell to the ground. Blood and yellow dirt mixed together.
"Mortars!! Suppress me!! Hu Lian looked at it like a brass bell, and shouted loudly to the back.
The three mortars hurriedly calculated the angle and began to counterattack, but the Japanese grenadiers were too light. Hu Lian's mortars did not completely wipe out the Japanese grenadiers for half a day, and the infantry had already attacked the camp. The Japanese army used the houses in the camp to start defense, and for a time the Japanese army of less than 150 people divided Hu Lian's 3,000 people into an equal division.
Hu Lian was anxious when he saw it, this was a surprise attack, and if it was a protracted battle, it would be over.
"Report, report to the master's seat, devils, devils are coming from behind." A soldier ran out of breath and spoke.
Hu Lian's heart was cold, "Why did you come so quickly?" It's only been less than twenty minutes, so the devil can't fly. ”
The soldier shook his head and said, "They're all coming in trucks, they've already rushed in, and we can't resist them." ”
Hu Lian looked at Chen Liukou, who was still deadlocked, and angrily threw his helmet to the ground and scolded, "Who, which dog leaked our plan, there must be a spy leak, otherwise the devil wouldn't be so fast." ”
"Airplanes! Devil's plane!! A few exclamations made Hu Lian raise his head, but he saw that more than a dozen Japanese planes did not know when they came to the battlefield, and Hu Lian's troops, who had no air defense capability at all, were suppressed by the planes and did not dare to raise their heads at all.
"No, run away." I don't know who was the first to shout, Hu Lian's troops began to retreat. The Japanese army in the barracks began a counteroffensive, and seeing his troops being chased and killed by the Japanese army with less than 100 people, Hu Lian was bitter and angry, and he was about to commit suicide with a gun.
"Master, stay in Qingshan, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's leave. A few of you fast. When the captain of the guards saw that Hu Lian wanted to do something stupid, he hurriedly hugged him, and ran to the west with Hu Lian in his arms.
What Hu Lian didn't know was that on the other side of the river, a large army had gathered at this time, watching him escape like a play.
"I also want to say whether the Henan branch troops will be dealt with, it turns out that it is nothing more than that." A Japanese officer on a tall horse shook his head and lowered his binoculars.
"Division commander, are we going to cross the river?" A staff officer asked.
The general shook his head and said, "General Xiangyue has violated the military order so much, and the end after this battle will definitely not be very good, so we still follow the order of General Terauchi, first hold the troops still, and then we will take action when the 14th Division is about to die." ”
The staff officer nodded and retreated.
- Sanyi Village
Xue Yue had been attacked from both sides at this time, and Xue Yue also felt the power of the heavy cannon again after more than half a year, and the explosion that seemed to shake the earth made Xue Yue's heart tremble.
"Boling, this can't be done, the devil uses trucks as armored vehicles to keep advancing, and there are heavy artillery to pull out our fire points, if this continues, I'm afraid that in a day, we will be cut off by the Japanese army." Wu Yizhi looked at the Japanese army, which had already broken through for two miles in just an hour, and said worriedly.
You must know that at this time, there is still a Japanese chariot unit in Sanyi Village, if they are united, I am afraid that Xue Yue's three armies (another one arrived) will collapse faster.
Xue Yue closed his eyes, thought nervously and said, "Fusheng, what do you say we are most afraid of the Japanese army?" ”
Wu Yizhi thought for a while and said, "Of course, it was Kazuki Kiyoji's chariot that rushed out and joined the Japanese army. ”
Xue Yue opened his eyes and said, "Then I'll let him do this, order the troops, strengthen the defense of the two wings, rush to repair the fortifications, and put the devil into Sanyi Village for me." ”
Wu Yizhi looked at Xue Yue and asked incomprehensibly, "Why is this?" ”
Xue Yue tugged at his gloves and said, "The bigger the monster." The more I eat, I don't believe it, how much ammunition can Kenji Dohihara and Kiyoji Kazuki carry with them, I'm afraid the main logistics are still in Lan Fengcheng and Chen Liukou, send a telegram to Chief Cheng, and let Chief Cheng cooperate with the 88th and 87th divisions in the back to lay down the Lan Feng City, Tu Fei Yuan Kenji must now want to completely tear apart our army, I'm afraid there will not be too many people in the Lan Feng City, after taking the Lan Feng City, the situation of our army can change greatly. Chariot artillery without ammunition, gasoline, and bayonets are not yet good to use. ”
Wu Yizhi said worriedly, "Boling, you are gambling, what if the Japanese army completely disperses us before we defeat Lanfeng?" ”
Xue Yue tugged his hand and said, "Order all battalions and companies, if they are scattered by the Japanese army, fight separately, and concentrate on the north and south by themselves, I don't believe it, we can't swallow a division of this Japanese army with more than 100,000 people!" And what about our planes? Why hasn't it arrived yet. ”
"Airplanes. Our plane is coming. A communications soldier shouted cheeringly with a telescope.
Xue Yue grabbed the binoculars, and sure enough, he saw twenty or thirty planes flying from the west.
Xue Yue dropped the binoculars and said, "Guide the plane, let them give me the heavy artillery to blow up the devil, this thing is the most annoying." ”
"Devils. The devil's plane. The communications corps from the east also shouted.
Xue Yue picked up the binoculars again and looked over, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen Japanese planes flying.
Xue Yue smiled and said, "That's it, our air force can make contributions again." ”
"No, back. There's a lot in the back. The signal soldier continued to shout.
Xue Yue hurriedly looked again, but found that planes were constantly flying down from the clouds, and they didn't stop for a long time.
This is an aircraft of a Japanese warband. At this time, the basic establishment of the Japanese army's aviation was squadrons, and above them were battle squadrons, generally a squadron had two or three squadrons, and a squadron often had about twenty or thirty aircraft. This time, the Japanese army was two squadrons, with a total of more than 60 aircraft, including 30 fighters.
Xue Yue slowly put down the binoculars, extremely sad in his heart, this is the sadness of China's national strength, Xue Yue shook his head desperately, waved away the feeling of powerlessness, Xue Yue secretly said in his heart, "I am a general, I must not be weak!" ”
Xue Yue continued to pick up the binoculars, but saw that the twenty or thirty planes coming from the west did not turn around and run, but resolutely rushed towards the Japanese aircraft team, and a big air battle began. Looking at the National Army planes that fell from time to time, Xue Yue slowly saluted.
- Lan closed the city
At this time, the city was a brigade of the 2nd Infantry Wing of the Japanese army Yokoyama Shizuo, and there was only one squadron in the city, because of the battle a few days ago, the city had been bombed and basically lost its defensive ability, so Yokoyama Shizuo stationed the main force outside the city.
Shizuo Yokoyama looked at the faint sound of explosions in the distance and couldn't help but be envious, but then he saw a signal soldier hurriedly coming.
Shizuo Yokoyama slapped him twice and asked, "Why are you in a hurry, what is going on?" ”
The signal soldier hurriedly nodded and said, "I'm sorry, there was an urgent call from Minquan County." ”
Shizuo Yokoyama took it and looked at it, but it was a telegram that had been lost in Minquan Prefecture.
Shizuo Yokoyama looked at the time, it was actually three hours ago, Shizuo Yokoyama scolded, "What's the matter?" How is it that the information that was three hours ago is only being delivered now? ”
The signal soldier bowed his head and said, "The radio station of civil rights was blown up just after the war, and it has only just been repaired. ”
Shizuo Yokoyama hurriedly shouted, "It's broken, it's broken, quickly, quickly notify His Excellency the division commander and prepare for defense." Minquan and Lanfeng are connected by rail, and the Chinese troops are about to attack. ”
Lan Feng City was in chaos, all the Japanese soldiers hurriedly walked to their combat positions, ready to fight, not more than ten minutes later, the soldiers on the city tower saw countless figures appear in Lan Feng City, a blue sky and white Japanese army flag planted everywhere.
A general jokingly said, "Hu Lian, the place that the kid lost still depends on us to regain it, and this little junior brother doesn't seem to have learned very well." Let's see if he dares to scream in the future. ”
Another general said hehehe, "It seems that there is only one brigade of people, our 88 and 87 divisions, it is easy to swallow, but let me come first?" As a senior, how do you let me? ”
Another general hurriedly said, "You also know that I am a senior, and there is no respect for the elders and the young, I will come first, order the troops, and attack immediately, I, Sun Yuanliang, must fight this time!! ”
Sun Yuanliang should have been promoted because of the Battle of Lunan, but because this battle was delayed, Sun Yuanliang's anger at this time was vented on the heads of the Lanfeng defenders.
Not only Lanfeng City, but also Luowangzhai and Maji Town around Lanfeng City were surrounded by the national army that had caught up, and overnight, the situation changed abruptly.
The 88th and 87th divisions carried 75MM field artillery and more than 20 mortars, and opened up the situation as soon as they opened fire.
Shizuo Yokoyama looked at the Japanese soldiers who were constantly bombed into the sky, gritted his teeth with hatred, due to the fierce battle in front, Lan Fengcheng is now full of mouths, the national army used these openings to charge wildly, the Japanese army ate the bitter fruit they planted, looking at the national army attacking in four or five directions, Shizuo Yokoyama was in a hurry, and completely lost his sense of proportion.
Xue Yue received the telegram, laughed happily, and said to Wu Yizhi, "Okay, okay, it's all here, what should I do now when I look at the little devil?" up? I see how many bombs you have!! ”
- Chen Liukou
Due to the addition of two new brigades, Chen Liukou's strength has been greatly strengthened, and there are two heavy machine gun squadrons, so that Chen Liukou's heavy machine guns are as high as 24 and light machine guns are more than 100, and the number is more than 2,000, and Chen Liukou has become extremely strong.
"Master Hu, are these devils really strong in combat?" A middle-aged officer asked Hu Lian next to him.
Hu Lian nodded and said, "Yes, these devils have accurate marksmanship, and they are flexible, so they are not easy to fight." ”
The officer looked back and said, "Did you all hear that?" These are 2,000 devils, the most elite devils in the Japanese army, what do you say? ”
The officers in the back circle all shouted in a low voice, "Eat him, eat him." ”
The officer nodded and said, "The 46th Division, all of them, ready to fight, the target - Chen Liukou!" Half an hour later the shelling began, Brigade Commander Ma, your troops for the vanguard. Got it? ”
"Understood!" All the officers replied in a straight manner, and then turned and left.
Hu Lian looked enviously at the officer of the 46th Division, who was forbidden by the order, and said to the officer, "Commander Li, how did you train these?" The quality is much higher than that of other troops. You see, I'm your junior, teach me. ”
Li Liangrong said with a smile, "Junior brother, our division was originally a teaching corps, if your subordinates are the same as mine, then what else do we call the teaching corps?" ”
Hu Lian nodded, remembering his subordinates in his heart, and couldn't help but think of retraining the army.
Ma Weilong is a native of Guangxi, and was born in the fourth phase of Huangpu, he was the commander of the last unit to break through in the defense of Nanjing, so he is extremely famous.
Ma Weilong looked at his pocket watch, coldly looked at Chen Liukou who was brightly lit in the distance, and the tragic situation in Nanjing flashed in his mind from time to time, and the desire to kill the enemy in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Finally, when the time came, three green signal flares were fired, dozens of artillery pieces were fired at the same time, and Ma Weilong shouted loudly, "Order the whole army, attack!! All company commanders must be on the front line, and those who retreat are killed!! Let's regain our reputation as a German mechanic! Kill!! (To be continued.) )
