Chapter 461: Encirclement and Annihilation
The 32nd Division and the 33rd Division each had 10 self-propelled amphibious guns on one side, and the bombardment on both sides was carried out almost simultaneously.
Escorted by the guards, Hyotaro Kimura fled east in a hurry, trying to get closer to Jutaro Katsuta. But he didn't know that Gan Jutaro had already left this world one step ahead of him, leaving the chaotic troops alone, scurrying around like a headless fly.
In the encirclement, the fleeing Japanese troops gathered into a group without attracting artillery fire, and in the direction of attack, the strength of about a wing of troops rushed forward under the shouts of a large sake, in the sound of violent explosions in the distance.
They all knew that if they didn't rush out of the cannon at this time, they would die in the artillery fire if they retreated, and in the front, if they rushed out of the lu, there would be hope of survival.
It is said that rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, dogs jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, and there are not a few Japanese troops who gather in groups, each of them rushing in the direction that they think is safe, trying to get out of here.
The group, which had grown in numbers, had developed a desperate spirit, marched tactically in the woods, in the grass, using all the skills learned in training, and launched a frontal attack.
Qu Jun was just looking at the distant shelling in front of him, excited like a child, when suddenly, a soldier shouted: "There are figures shaking in the woods thousands of kilometers ahead, and the number is unknown. ”
Qu Jun had just dropped the telescope and looked in that direction, when he saw a shadowy figure, and shouted: "Observer, the Japanese army is approaching the position at seven o'clock, don't call for artillery fire!" After shouting, he changed the channel and ordered, "All units should pay attention, before the shelling is over, do not leave the latent position before the order, and snipe if you get close to the firing range." Keep all the devils! ”
"Yes!"
A neat tiger roar came from the channel.
Qu Jun just put down the binoculars, picked up the semi-automatic, and locked on to the approaching Japanese soldiers through the grass, and popped at the stall where the figure flashed behind the tree. Bullets burst out.
The Japanese soldier who was blocking the trunk of the tree and advancing tactically had just flashed out from behind a tree, and the moment he approached the tree in front of him, he suddenly felt a tree in his chest, and then the strength of his body was instantly emptied. He looked down weakly at the chest where the blood sword was spraying, his head hung limply, and the person fell to the ground with a pop.
Qu Jun just shot the first, then turned the muzzle of the gun, and at the moment when another figure flashed in the camera. With a pop, he pulled the trigger. In the distance, the locked Japanese soldier fell to the ground like a broken sack, and the vital point in his chest made it impossible for him to stand up again.
Intensive sniping began, and the charging Japanese also discovered the direction of the sniper. They couldn't see their targets, and they all moved as fast as they could, trying to get closer and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
They are confident that their bayonet fighting skills are still excellent. But the accuracy of the bullet surprised them, often only from behind the bushes. Flashing out next to the trunk. A single bullet found the body, even if it didn't kill a single shot. If you are shot in the torso, if you don't bandage it in time to stop the bleeding, you will die sooner or later.
Qu Jun just held the gun steadily, fired quickly, and in five or six seconds, a magazine shot into the air. Ten targets also fell in the grass.
The violent explosions continued, and the Japanese troops who had been bombed were scurrying around, hiding in terror to what they thought was safe. Soon, the panicked Japanese found a safe area, that is, close to some places. The shelling was no longer approaching.
As a result, more Rijuan gathered in a safe area, and a sniper took place.
At the moment when they saw their comrades killed, they all realized that ahead was the encirclement front.
The shelling lasted less than twenty minutes, and the Japanese troops in the entire encirclement, except in the middle area, gathered into groups and built fortifications. Because the observer could not see so far, these Japanese troops were able to breathe, and under the command of the military commander, they formed positions, contacted and gathered troops, and prepared to hold on and wait for reinforcements. The other part is at a safe distance from the line of defense. The moment the Japanese army discovered the front, they frantically charged at Qian. When sniped, the light machine gun, which was not discarded, roared.
On the commanding heights in the distance, a heavy sniper searched the battlefield, and saw the figure of a machine gunner, grenadier or mortar, and if he touched it, he would definitely tear the Japanese soldier apart.
Charge, under the dense bullet penetration, no Japanese army can rely on nearly 100 meters, no matter how tactical they move, they can't stop the accurate shooting.
The panic and fear began to spread as people fell.
The three or four thousand Japanese troops in front of Qu Jun just threw away most of their numbers at a distance of six or seven hundred meters under the precise sniping of a regiment, and the rest had no intention of charging and turned their heads and retracted to the edge of the safe area.
Seeing that the Japanese army had withdrawn from sight, Qu Jun just picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Observer, change the effective shooting to single artillery shooting!" ”
With his shout, the observer quickly separated, and they were originally gathered in a group, scattered to all parts of the defense line, and one by one coordinates and codes appeared in the walkie-talkie.
The shelling turned from a terrifying blow to a normal explosion. But even so, dozens or hundreds of small groups of Japanese troops could not stop the shelling, and with the sound of the bombardment, the Japanese troops in the encirclement quickly decreased, and they saw that they had collapsed, and there was no one-third of them, and they all lost their command and fought on their own.
Kimura was lucky enough to escape two kilometers away and ran into the Japanese troops of the 33rd Division.
He looked at the ragged and terrified hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and sighed. He understood that his escape had no chance to leave, and this place was already surrounded.
With a long sigh, he asked if he understood that there was no news from Ganji Shigetaro, and he was full of anger and yelled and began to gather the scattered troops and gather into a mountain col.
Lieutenant General, with absolute command, under his order, the panicked Japanese army had the backbone, a figure running in the uninterrupted, disorderly shelling, quickly collecting the headless flies scurrying around, collecting the scattered weapons and ammunition on the battlefield, ready to stand for help.
Although there is no communication system, this does not delay their determination to stick to the couple. They had reason to believe that there were so many ditches and streams that the enemy's heavy artillery could not maneuver to a suitable position to bombard the cols.
At this time, Qu Jun had just given the order, and the troops were slowly advancing. To reduce casualties. He will not give the Japanese a chance to fight hard, although he can rush through. But the order he received was to annihilate the enemy here in 5 hours, so he was not in a hurry.
"Captain, one charge can solve these devils, why don't you charge?"
A Hufang warrior asked, puzzled.
"We've only been fighting for more than half an hour now. There was still a third of the remaining number of Japanese troops, and the charge would force the Japanese to fight back. ”
Qu Jun just put away the items on the ground in the same way, and said: "Besides, such a big battlefield, at least one brigade must be left behind to clean up, and if the Japanese troops inside help and concentrate their weapons, won't it save a lot of trouble?" ”
"Quack! Also, free manpower doesn't have to be in vain. Concentrate on the black guns of the province, just these soldiers, it is inevitable to suffer! ”
The Tiger Tooth warrior also had the time to stuff the magazine into the tactical vest and smiled evilly.
The front, in ease, moved forward slowly, and along the way he carefully collected the wounded soldiers, who did not have time to collect the prisoners. As for the Convention. No one sees that the convention is made for the dead.
Twenty self-propelled guns were in command to move forward. The bombardment stopped, the motor roared, crossed the ditch, drove to the position designated in front of it, and entered the next position.
In twenty minutes, Kimura Hyotaro gathered almost two standard infantry wings. There are all kinds of troops in it.
He's in a constant pool of people. Standing on a large rock on the flat ground of the mountain col, he gathered the collected commanders and shouted: "Excellent soldiers of the Empire, today, will be a battle for us to defend our honor!" You are the pride of His Majesty the Emperor. Today, let's show the courage of the soldiers and crush the attack of the Chinese pigs! Hold on here, three hours, reinforcements will arrive! ”
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! ”
The faces of these Japanese officers above the rank of commander were covered with traces of gunsmoke, most of their clothes were torn, and they were broken by tree branches or shrapnel during the escape, and they were stained with blood and tatters. But they still raised their arms and shouted feverishly, accumulating blood for the coming holy war.
Kimura Hyotaro yelled: "Now, according to the command structure just now, you only have ten minutes, everyone pick up your guns, build fortifications, and stand for help!" ”
"Hayi!"
The generals who stood around them shouted their orders, and there was no trace of defeat on their faces, only the flush and fanaticism of the impending holy war.
This force of four or five thousand Japanese troops was strong, and their rapid detachments began to build fortifications, collect weapons and ammunition nearby, and prepare to hold on.
The soldiers of the advance army cleaned up the scattered Japanese troops along the way, and the damage was not great, although the speed was not fast, and they searched five or six hundred meters away in 20 minutes.
During the march, a detachment leader saw in the telescope that Japanese troops were collecting weapons thousands of kilometers away, and then the news reached Qu Jungang.
Qu Jun had just moved forward with the division commander of the recruits, and when he heard the report, he knew that this was the Japanese army preparing to resist stubbornly and hold on to one place, so he ordered: "Find a gathering place and call for artillery support!" ”
With his order, a Huya warrior with seven recruits, including the squad leader, quickly left in groups, touching the scattered figures thousands of kilometers away.
"Look, squad leader, there's a low col there."
A soldier saw the col behind the woods through the bushes and reported it.
Soon, the position where the Japanese troops were gathered in a group reported the moving self-propelled artillery there.
One location after another was marked, and the shelling rang out again a few minutes later.
The screams that tore through the air terrified the Japanese troops who were holding out in these places, and they all lay down in the trenches that had just been built and had not yet been completed, hiding from the shelling.
When Hyotaro Kimura heard the sound of shells flying, he forced himself to calm down, hid in a temporary command post, and gave the order that the enemy was going to attack and prepare for battle.
When the Japanese soldiers who were collecting weapons and ammunition outside heard the sound of artillery, they all ran away, rushed to their own positions, rolled down into the trenches during the shelling, grabbed their guns, and waited for the enemy's attack.
It's a pity that the Japanese army's desire to fight a bloody battle did not have a chance to be realized, and Qu Jun just saw this col thousands of kilometers away, and directly ordered: "Shoot and bombard again!" Don't fall on all the hills! ”
After giving the order, he sat behind the bushes, took out a box of three forts, pulled out one, and leisurely lit it, and spit out a puff of smoke.
The moment the smoke was spit out, a rumbling scream came, and then the earth shook, and a black and red mushroom cloud rolled up and rose into the air.
"Want to fight hard? No way! ”
He muttered a cigarette in his mouth and raised his binoculars to look into the distance.
In the col, Kimura Hyotaro was knocked to the ground in the huge earthquake, and the moment he fell, his determination to fight bloody battles disappeared in an instant.
In the face of such a powerful shelling, a bloody battle? Fight against whom? With cannonballs?
Sure enough, he was right, as soon as the shelling began, it never stopped, and basically there was a loud bang in less than a minute. In the roar, the position that had just been built was instantly flattened, and the Japanese troops who had finally gathered together were once again scattered by the terrifying artillery bombardment. Those positions that had not been shelled were left with a loud bang, hiding in the corners, trying to escape the loud noise of the screams.
In the mountain pass, in just a few minutes, the Japanese troops who had just formed their combat effectiveness dispersed, and no one held on to it, and they returned to their previous state of fleeing for their lives.
Qu Jun just saw that there was no shadow of the Japanese army on the mountain, quickly took two puffs, spit out the cigarette butt with a mouthful of smoke, picked up the semi-automatic back and shouted: "Observer, the shelling extends inside!" It's time for us to clean up the battlefield! ”
With his shout, the shells that flew again no longer fell on the hill, but towards the inside of the col, and although some of them were blocked by the hill, there were still shells falling inside.
"Commander! Get ready to charge! ”
Qu Jun just shouted, and ordered the team to move forward and prepare to charge.
The distance of a thousand meters was quickly approaching, and in the loud roar, the soldiers were already less than 100 meters close to the mountain pass, and then, as soon as Qu Jun gave the order to stop the shelling, the charge horn sounded.
The sound of the dripping trumpet sounded in the tide of shouts and killing, Qu Jun just picked up the sapper shovel, carried the shell gun, roared, and rushed to the mountain bag gap first.
The charging Japanese troops outside heard it, but unfortunately, they were dizzy, their steps were vain, and it was not easy to live.
Qu Jun just roared and rushed into the mountain col, raised his hand to kill a guy with a light machine gun in his hand, and then stepped out, the sapper shovel flashed a trace of coldness, click, and cut off the head of a Japanese soldier who didn't know where to stab the gun.
The spear is useless in the encirclement on all sides, and the hand-to-hand combat is glued, and only white-knuckle combat will not accidentally hurt the comrades.
One by one, the sappers shoveled up, and the barge guns sounded intensively, and it was only a matter of minutes before the few remaining Japanese troops in the col were annihilated...... (To be continued......)
