Chapter 548: The Battle of North Manchurian (11)
Rumble! Suddenly, there was a violent explosion ahead. Immediately afterward, the gunfire erupted. It's very intense. The Japanese officers and men were startled and hurriedly scattered in small groups and detachments. In a very short period of time, they have completed the transformation from marching formations to battle formations, fully demonstrating their good military qualities.
Staff officers and several guards nervously protected the commander of the 150th Infantry Wing, Yamamoto Shigetsu Nakasa. I'm afraid something will happen to him. Yamamoto Shigetsu looked angry, he struggled to get up from the ground, pointed ahead and shouted, "Give a few presses!" ”
The Japanese army quickly launched a counterattack under the leadership of officers at all levels, but the sound of the exchange of fire in front came and went quickly, and by the time the Japanese reinforcements from two routes were outflanked, the originally dense guns had come to an abrupt end.
Ignoring the persuasion of everyone, Yamamoto Shigetomi personally rushed to the front line. The squadron commander in charge of directing the battle hurriedly greeted him, saluted and said, "Your Excellency, the enemy has retreated under the blows of our army!" ”
The staff officer hurriedly asked, "Lieutenant, how did the battle start just now?" Please tell us more about the battle! ”
The squadron leader said, "Hello! Then he went through the battle in detail.
According to him, a search party had just advanced to the area when it was violently attacked by a group of unidentified forces. Because the battle broke out so suddenly, six of the twelve soldiers of the entire detachment were killed on the spot, and the rest were wounded. When the follow-up troops came to reinforce them, they only saw dead bodies on the ground, and the enemy troops had fled without a trace.
The staff officer thought for a moment and said to Yamamoto Shigetoi: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, this must be the outpost of the Shina army!" It may be that they were ordered to stop us, but it is also possible that they have come to seduce us. ”
Shigetomi raised his head a little arrogantly, and suddenly his face was fierce, and he said to the squadron leader, "Soga! The main forces of the people of China are besieging Qiqihar, and now these people are guerrillas, it is simply impossible to lure us, find them, attack them, and destroy them! ”
The squadron leader hurriedly leaned on his legs, bowed his head and saluted, "Haiyi! Then he turned to his subordinates and said, "Warriors of the Empire, for the sake of the Holy War, give a few of them!" The soldiers immediately howled and rushed forward. Since its formation, this unit has been in constant battle with the Mongolian army, so its morale and combat effectiveness can be regarded as good as that of the Kwantung Army.
After a while, there was another fierce exchange of fire from the front, and the dense sound of gunfire indicated that the battle was very fierce. The rest of the Japanese army who followed up rushed to reinforce them, but by the time they arrived, the battle was over again.
The squadron leader helplessly pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "The Chinese army attacked and fled quickly before reinforcements arrived. The enemy situation in front is complicated, and without the order of His Excellency the Wing Commander, we did not dare to continue the pursuit! ”
The staff officer observed for a while and said, "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it seems that the Chinese army is blocking the attack one after another, covering the retreat alternately, making it difficult for our army to catch them. ”
Yamamoto Shigetsu Nakasa had completely calmed down at this time, nodded, and said, "Yo Xi! Aoda-kun, what do you think is the intention of this gang? ”
Chief of Staff Qingtian said: "If my expectations are correct, it should be to slow down the pace of our army's march so that the main force of China can win time to attack Qiqihar." ”
"Yo Xi! We can't afford to delay here, leaving a brigade and a regiment of the Jing'an Army to search for this guerrilla detachment, while the rest continue to set off.
"Hey!"
A neat running sound from far to near, to the northeast, the new officer took office of the 31st Division commander Liang Xingchu from the gap between the passing teams estimated that the enemy had at least two brigades of numbers, there are many horse-drawn artillery carriages in the middle, it seems that this time the little devil is fooled, Yamamoto Shigemonsu Nakasa may not know that when he ordered the division of troops, he fell into Liang Xingchu's trap, Liang Xingchu did not intend to block the Yamamoto Shigeprovincial Wing at all, his purpose was to lead this group of miscellaneous troops just composed of puppet army militia to see blood, Eat meat, and as for the task of blocking, it will be handed over to the third division to complete.
He heard the thunderous sound of the road not far in front of the position, and quickly buckled his ears, last night when he encountered the bombing of Japanese planes on the march, a bomb exploded near him, so that his ears can not hear the sound clearly, according to the judgment of the doctor with the army, how can it be three days to fully recover, I really did not expect that there are more Japanese planes outside the customs than there are planes in the Guan, this has not been with the devil to face the damn bite.
After the violent vibration, there was a huge explosion, and the small clods of dirt on the bunker were also frightened, rolling down from a high place into the bunker, beating their steel helmets and shoulders, the smell of dust, gunsmoke, and blood came in gusts of wind, and people on the road shouted and neighed. The explosion ended, the sound of mortar shells, grenades, mines came.
Zhang Baofeng, commander of the third company of the 131st Regiment of the 31st Division, put up the ruler on the gun, loaded the bullet, straightened up and lay down on the bunker.
Finally, the devil approached, accompanied by the artillery battalion's shelling, and the regiment commander at the same time let out a roar of "hit", Zhang Baofeng, who had already locked on to the target, smoothly pulled the trigger, slid down the bunker with a slight recoil, pulled the bolt, retracted the shell, and loaded. After a slight pause, he quickly drew his gun, aimed at an enemy who was bending forward, and fired again, watching as the fierce figure touched the place where it had been hit with both hands, and fell headlong. said in his heart: "Little fifth son, brother, I have avenged you." ”
Just when he was happy about his marksmanship, a shuttle machine gun bullet swept over, hitting the pile of loess piled up in front of the bunker splashed, a bullet hit the outer edge of the steel helmet again, frightened him retracted into the bunker, shook his head a little dizzy, just killed a devil and was shot, if it weren't for the protection of the steel helmet, I'm afraid that I would have seen Hades earlier, but the soldiers around him are not as good as him, the bullet penetrated directly through the chest, and it seemed that he couldn't live.
Looking at the comrades-in-arms who were still talking and laughing with him last night, he died after a while, Zhang Baofeng had red eyes, moved a few meters to the left, pulled the bolt, unshelled, loaded, got up to aim, and fired, at this time, he forgot that he was an officer at all, but returned to the time when he was hunting in the mountains when he was a teenager, and he didn't shoot a shot, and there was a devil in the end, and in less than half an hour, he actually killed more than 40 devils.
The machine guns and grenadiers of the devils have already reflected from the chaos, desperately suppressing the ambush positions and covering the infantry charge. In the end, it is the elite of the Kwantung Army, and its combat effectiveness is strong, with fast response, skilled coordination, and accurate shooting.
"Young man, good marksmanship, fight well." Bai Yongsheng, the commander of the first battalion of the 131st Regiment, patted Zhang Baofeng on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, battalion commander, for the compliment." Zhang Baofeng said a word and continued to shoot.
"I'll rub, Zhang Baofeng, how is you."
"That's me! What's wrong? ”
"Why did you get here, your soldiers?" Bai Yongsheng looked at Zhang Baofeng in astonishment and asked.
"The battalion commander devil is here."
Bai Yongsheng immediately shouted: "You kid wait until this battle is over, see how I clean you up, hurry up and return to your jurisdiction for me, comrades, the enemy is rushing over, throw grenades." He picked up a wooden-handled grenade developed by the Anti-United Nations Arsenal and threw it out.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear a sound, which made Bai Yongsheng very puzzled, could it be that there was still a dumb thing in this grenade.
"Battalion commander, you didn't pull the strings?"
"You say it." Bai Yongsheng's face turned red all of a sudden, glared at Zhang Baofeng and said.
Then, he picked up another one, pulled out the fire rope, pulled it hard, straightened up and threw it out vigorously, overturning the whole of several devils who were coming in front of him.
When Bai Yongsheng grabbed a grenade again, pulled the line, threw it out, and at the same time the devil machine gun that rushed in front also strafed over, his right arm and right shoulder were hit, he screamed, Zhang Baofeng next to him used the rifle in his hand to eliminate the Japanese machine gunner, and then hurriedly bent down and trotted over, checked it, and said, "Battalion commander, are you okay!" "I didn't hit the bones, just flesh wounds, just raise them for a few days, you don't have to worry about me, give me a beating." After Bai Yongsheng finished speaking, he took out a small bottle from his satchel, poured hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder on the wound, and wrapped the wound with a bandage.
Listening to the sound of guns and cannons around Bai Yongsheng was really anxious in the bunker, and finally went to the battlefield, but he didn't expect to be excited, so he gently leaned over the bunker and looked out, and saw that the few remaining devils were lying on the ground and shooting at the soldiers, and were sent to the west by the soldiers one by one, and the enemy's machine guns and grenadiers were also eliminated one by one by the soldiers' machine guns and mortars. Only the veterans on the battlefield were counting the devils who had fallen to the ground.
The battalion commanders of each regiment took people to start searching for the remnants of the enemy, and occasionally there was a gunshot, and after the minefield was searched, not a single mine was raised, and it was obviously detonated by the devils, at this time, the commander of the 131st regiment rushed over, saw Bai Yongsheng hanging colors, waved his hand, and asked people to transport him back to the temporary field hospital.
The battle lasted less than two hours, and the 31st Division wiped out a reorganized brigade of the 150th Infantry Wing at the cost of 130 killed and 220 wounded, as well as more than 300 puppet soldiers. Liang Xingchu wore the military uniform of a devil and escorted the soldiers of the 31st Division to Bayanhara with a swagger.
At this time, Liang Xingchu, who was full of excitement, didn't know how much trouble he caused to the devil because of his actions this time, and at the same time, it was also a battle for him to rise, and the troops fought all the way to be absorbed, when he and the cavalry troops in the Kormi steppe turned, the troops had expanded to nearly 20,000 people, and not including nearly 10,000 auxiliary personnel, which also surprised Meng Qingshan and others, and everyone was impressed by Meng Qingshan's original vision.
