Chapter 370: Bloody Battle of Tongcheng Gate

In the early morning, half of the sky was reddened by the flames of war.

The main attack was the second battalion of the 381st Regiment (the first battalion was taken away by the regiment commander Wu Youyuan, and the deputy regiment commander Ding Yiming took over the command), although the second battalion was slightly worse than the first battalion, but it was also the main battalion.

The commander of the second battalion is called Cao Yawen, wearing a pair of glasses, with a crepe style, and looks like a teacher.

Then you will be deceived by his appearance, this person launched a ruthless attack, the commander of the first battalion Tu Man, such a foolish person is jealous of him, and the war is notoriously ruthless, and when the new 38th Brigade confronts the exercise, the brother troops have suffered a lot.

"What's the matter, the four consecutive hits the normal time, only advanced less than fifty meters, I didn't eat breakfast this morning, or ran out of diarrhea?"

"Camp, although the Japanese army is in a hurry to meet the battle, but this simple fortification is not bad, not worse than us, and the marksmanship is better than ours, if it weren't for our calculations, we might not be able to trap people here......"

"Noise, go aside!" Cao Yawen grabbed the telephone rudely, "Give me four connections!" ”

"Fourth Company Commander, don't you usually say that the Fourth Company is stronger than the First Company, the hard bones that can be gnawed in a company, and the four companies can also gnaw down, now I'm watching, see if you can gnaw down the hard bones of the 132 Heights, I'll give you two hours to prepare, before noon, you must take the 132 Heights!"

"Yes, please rest assured, my company will definitely guarantee to complete the task!" The commander of the fourth company swore an oath.

The encircled Japanese army was a mixed brigade with a strength of 1,000 men, more than the Japanese army encircled at Huangshan Temple, and the two units together accounted for two-thirds of the Japanese troops that landed at Baidu Bridge and Xiliangshan in Ushijima.

In other words, the main force of the 45th Wing of the Japanese Army that landed was encircled by the new 38th Brigade.

Ushijima is full of available rescue troops, and it is only a brigade when it is full.

If the strength of a brigade is disassembled and used, no one may be able to save it, but if it is desperate, it is possible to rescue one army, and then concentrate on rescuing the other, so that it may be able to turn defeat into victory.

After much deliberation, Mitsuru Ushijima decided to save the Takamoto brigade first. Because Longben's brigade is very close to the Baidu Bridge, if he leads the team to rescue the Tongcheng Gate, then the opponent is likely to take the opportunity to attack the Baidu Bridge and close their only way out.

Ushijima personally commanded the troops to storm Huangshan Temple. intends to rescue the trapped Takamoto brigade.

The siege of the Longben brigade was the main force of the 382nd Regiment of the new 38th Brigade and a supplementary regiment (lacking a battalion), with a total strength of about 2,000 men.

Takamoto Shaosa, who received the order to cooperate with the breakout, also commanded the remaining Japanese troops to launch a fierce charge against the position of the 382nd Regiment from seven o'clock in the morning.

Blood stained the earth red, and when the killing was at its worst, it actually started a white-knuckle battle.

Bite with your mouth. Kicking with his feet, sticking his eyes, and cutting off his grandchildren's legs......

The attack was repulsed, the Japanese army was defeated by the bravery and persistence of the squadron, their timidity was chilled, no matter how Takamoto Shaozo reprimanded and shot the retreating soldiers, they failed to prevent the defeat of the Japanese attack.

Tongcheng Gate Battlefield!

Bang!

A soldier of the 382nd Regiment covered his left eye and cried out in pain: "Ah. My eyes ......"

His eye was hit by a Japanese soldier on the opposite position, and his eyeball was shattered, and although his life was saved, this eye could never see again!

"Everyone be careful, the Japanese devil's marksmanship is very powerful, machine gunner, fire suppression!" On the position, the platoon commander shouted loudly to alert the fighters below.

Da Da ......

The battle is bloody and brutal, it's a fight to the death.

The Maxim heavy machine gun roared angrily. 12.7 mm pointed bullets poured out, and the Japanese troops behind the improvised fortifications could not lift their heads.

Although the Japanese army's equipment is generally better than that of the ****, it is all relatively speaking, and now they are encountering a squadron that is almost no worse than their weapons and equipment. It was even superior to the Japanese in small arms firepower.

It seems that there is not much skill in such a battle, only the real combat effectiveness of both sides, as well as the command ability of the grassroots officers on the battlefield.

The junior officers of the Japanese army have received strict military education, and there are few common-sense mistakes in command, and the troops are also very skillful in cooperating, so it can be said that there are no flaws.

On the other hand, the new 38 Brigade. Although he was born in the teaching corps, after all, it is not the same army that he once was, and the ability of the grassroots officers is slightly weaker, but the flexibility is stronger.

Therefore, the gap between the two sides is not very large, but the new 38th Brigade is above the Japanese army in terms of strength and firepower, and the Japanese troops who landed have no heavy artillery support, and their artillery strength is even inferior to the new 38th Brigade.

When the new 38th Brigade evacuated Nanjing, Leng Feng handed over all the captured Japanese heavy equipment to Luo Yufeng and took it away.

In addition to the lack of heavy artillery of more than 150 mm, the new 38th Brigade has more than 100 mountain guns, infantry guns, and mortars of various calibers.

This is because many miscellaneous armies have no match for the number of artillery they have.

"Okay, got it."

"Brigade seat, Regiment Commander Zhu reported, has besieged the Japanese army in an area of less than three square kilometers south of the Tongling Gate."

"Got it, surround first and don't fight, see Ushijima's reaction." Luo Yufeng drew a circle on the map and commanded.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"The 383rd Regiment reported that a Japanese army of about five or six hundred people reinforced Huangshan Temple from the direction of Baidu Bridge, intending to rescue the trapped Longben Brigade!"

"Oh, Lao Qin, it seems that Ushishima Man chose to save Takamoto first, he was afraid that he would go to Tongling Gate, and we would copy his back road." Luo Yufeng raised his head and said to Qin Yankun, who was drinking tea slowly.

"Isn't that what we expected?"

"I'm worried that the Japanese army will increase its troops, it stands to reason that Ushijima Man will cut first and then play this time, but the Japanese army will not sit idly by and watch Ushijima Manchu fail, and the Japanese army in Wuhu will still be able to draw some troops."

"It makes sense, we can't afford to guard against this." Qin Yankun said, "What's the situation over there?" ”

"The Okamoto Wing occupied Wujiang Town and was advancing eastward, but it was blocked by the Honor 1st Division Special Service Regiment in the area of Dongqingzhuang and almost never moved." Luo Yufeng said.

"Well, regardless of whether Ushijima has reinforcements or not, I think we can eat this group of Japanese soldiers in Tongling Gate first!"

"I agree!"

"Do you want to ask Lao Leng?"

"As it should be!"

Before that. The new 38th Brigade is actually just a small fight, and it has not shown its true strength, if it exposes its hole cards, how can this arrogant guy be fooled?

"I command. The time for the general attack is set for half past six tomorrow morning, and all participating troops must attack according to the plan. ”

"Yes!"

In the early morning of the next day, it was six o'clock in the morning on February 11, 1938.

The new 38th Brigade besieged the positions of the main Japanese forces. The pitch-black cannon barrels were erected one by one, lined up, emitting bursts of cold light, like a steel jungle, a shock that had never been seen before, and a strong impact on all the officers and soldiers participating in the battle.

"Calibrate the Yuan!"

“……”

"Ready!"

"Launch!"

With the red flag in the hands of the starter, he waved downward.

Hundreds of artillery pieces of the new 38 Brigade roared with earth-shattering rage, and the shells flew into the sky with such momentum, and the artillerymen who participated in this battle will never forget.

It is rare to see so many artillery pieces firing a salvo at once, and it is the squadron itself, although there are a few types of artillery. Calibers also vary in size.

But this rare salvo made everyone realize that artillery is known as the god of war, and its power lies in its concentrated use and covering the blow.

A single artillery piece does not have such momentum and destructive effect.

But how difficult it is to achieve such an effect, there are not many large-caliber artillery in the whole of China, let alone intensive use.

After this volley, the Japanese army was stunned at once, and had never encountered such a fierce artillery bombardment. Especially the opponent or the squadron that they don't think is difficult to deal with?

In an instant, the Japanese position was full of flames, violent explosions and powerful shock waves tore off the improvised fortifications, and the Japanese position, which had no depth of defense, was instantly plunged into a sea of fire.

Three salvos down. The Japanese position was full of stumps and broken arms, and some of them were not dead, looking at the sky in despair, as if there was no pain, and the murmuring blood stained the soil under them bright red.

This time, the new 38th Brigade can be regarded as showing its family background. The Japanese soldiers who beat them were ghosts crying wolves and howling and crying for their fathers and mothers.

Takeshita Yoshiharu Osa, who commanded this Japanese army, had red eyes, and his shoulders trembled uncontrollably. trembled, with a hint of despair in his eyes.

The Chinese army is too ruthless, why do they have such a strong firepower, but they have to wait for them to go ashore before taking it out, if they come like this when they land, will they still have a chance to go ashore?

Heavy artillery, heavy artillery!

Takeshita Yoshiharu regretted it very much, in order to achieve the purpose of a quick and concealed surprise attack, they did not carry heavy artillery this time, only six Type 92 infantry guns and six 75mm field guns.

In his opinion, twelve artillery pieces were enough to suppress the firepower of the Chinese army, and from his consistent understanding of the Chinese army, their troops were poorly equipped, and even some elite troops were rarely equipped with artillery.

However, he came across such a freak whose artillery not only outnumbered them, but also far outnumbered the Japanese army.

Of course, the accuracy of the opponent's artillery is too poor, much worse than that of the elite Imperial Japanese Army, but this kind of covering attack does not require accurate shooting.

So, he was tragic.

"Shelling, where did the Shina army get so much artillery......" Ushijima received a telegram from Yoshiharu Takeshita asking for help, and his eyes were about to fall out.

How half?

Ushijima was already a little panicked, he originally judged that even if Takeshita Yoshiharu did not have assistance, he would be able to hold out for at least three days, and by that time, he had already rescued the Takamoto brigade and could free up his hands to rescue Takeshita Yoshiharu.

He never expected that Takeshita Yoshiharu would not even survive a day and a half, and he was already on the verge of defeat.

What to do?

Ushihima thought of a way to let the Longben brigade trapped in Huangshan Temple break through in the direction of Tongling Gate, and he attracted the firepower of the squadron in the encirclement.

At this moment, there were less than 400 people left in Takamoto's brigade, and the ammunition was almost exhausted, and he almost committed suicide in despair after receiving an order from Mitsuru Ushijima.

Isn't this asking him to die?

However, it is indeed a good way to take it by surprise, and if you can rush out, you may be able to make it back alive.

"What, what, what did you say, the Longben brigade broke through to the northwest and stopped it?" In other words, Luo Yufeng really didn't expect the besieged Japanese army to make such a move, attacking the east and attacking the west, and actually breaking through in the northwest direction.

It was a headlong rush into the defense zone of the new 38th Brigade.

Isn't this looking for death?

"Brigade seat, we didn't pay attention for a while, we were hit by the trajectory of the Japanese army, Ushijima was desperately attacking in the southeast direction, and Takamoto's brigade also cooperated from the inside, but I didn't expect him to break his wrist and leave a team to attract our attention, and take the opportunity to lead the troops to kill from the northwest corner."

"Liu Chungui, you him. Fuck bastard, let go of the Longben brigade, Lao Tzu shot you! "Luo Yufeng is in a hurry, the battle to encircle and annihilate the main force of the 45th Wing of the Japanese Army on the Tongling Gate is still ongoing, and it is expected that it will take at least half a day to end the battle.

"Brigade, you just want to shoot me, and you have to wait for me to catch Longben, the ****, right?" Liu Chungui has the heart to die.

"If you can't catch Longben's ****, just wait to eat the gun!" Luo Yufeng hung up the phone angrily.

"Old Qin, what now?"

"What's the panic, I think I should report this situation to Lao Leng now, he has more ideas than the two of us." Qin Yankun said slowly.

"Yes, yes, little plum......"
