Chapter 850: Linzhang Fights
"Dog's Day! Who gave him the power to take people to fight the blockade?! Shang Yingyan, the commander of the Fifth Division, roared with a telegram on his horse, and the soldiers around him looked sideways at this scene.
"Old Shang, stop shouting. It's already like this, we can only speed up the march to catch up, otherwise Sheng Yong's shriveled thing will definitely go to the end. ”
Chief of Staff Qi Yuankui sighed and said: "Sheng Yong is also out of line, according to the news given to us everywhere, Anyang has been occupied by the Japanese army. At the same time, the Japanese-Chinese Front also sent a wing from Anyang to pick up the Twelfth Army. ”
"If they are in one place, our Fifth Division will really not be enough." After a pause, Qi Yuankui said helplessly: "Sheng Yong did this, and he was forced out......"
"He's still reasonable?! It makes sense for him to take the whole reconnaissance company's brothers on an adventure?! Shang Yingyan roared: "Lao Tzu let him harass and fight, but didn't let him fight positional warfare!" ”
"With the few people in his hands, how can he fight with 20,000 people?! Everyone can drown him with a mouthful of saliva, if you want to send yourself to death, don't drag your brothers to die with you! ”
After snorting and scolding for a long time, Shang Yingyan ordered to speed up the march. Sheng Yong, what kind of virtue is that bitch, can he not know?! Once the bastard decides, the radio station will definitely be turned off.
Directly take people to fight, which he did when he was a battalion commander in the past. was so angry that Shang Yingyan directly removed him. But then I felt that although this kid had a bad temper, he was still a talent.
That's why he was allowed to go to further study, and after he came back, he was put into the reconnaissance company for training. I thought that this dog's temperament would be better, but I didn't expect the old disease to recur now.
"Little Wang Ba Calf, see if Lao Tzu catches you, don't pick your skin!" Shang Yingyan gritted his teeth and cursed, urging the war horse to speed up the march with the troops.
At this time, the Japanese army was also besieged by a reconnaissance company. Sheng Yong is hot-tempered and impulsive. But he is not a fool. After all, he was trained by the National Defense University. He knew how to fight a blocking battle with minimal losses.
"Boom, boom, boom......" The crowd of Japanese soldiers burst into bursts of firelight, but countless stumps and flesh were splashed in the firelight. Screams echoed throughout the valley.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company on the position had already quietly withdrawn from the position, and the blocking that Sheng Yong achieved was not the kind that could not be defeated overnight. If he did that, let alone Shang Yingyan, even he himself would not forgive himself.
The method he used was to block the attack in sections, which simply means that the reconnaissance company no longer waited for the Japanese to enter a suitable position before launching an attack. Rather, in any area, a strong attack is launched.
The first to act were the punishers of the reconnaissance company. The second is the sniper. Sheng Yong led the others to dig fortifications in the hilly area ahead.
And this fortified position has not just one line, but five lines. Once the Japanese army appeared in front of the position, Sheng Yong would lead the people to retreat to the rear position.
Blocking the Japanese army in stages and step by step. In this way, the Japanese army will not choose to turn around and retreat and break through in other directions. And it won't cause too many casualties to yourself.
"Quick! Pull it down! Don't bite your tail! Lu Hong, the platoon commander of the sharp knife platoon, roared with red eyes, and kept firing with the Tiger assault rif......le in his hand.
The snipers of the National Reconnaissance Company in the grass behind were also shooting and killing the Japanese commanders who had caught up, which caused great psychological pressure on the Japanese troops. People have a natural fear of unseen opponents, which can make them involuntarily slow down.
They slowed down, and the reconnaissance company wasn't going to wait for them. In three or two strokes, they jumped out of the range of the Japanese army. Withdrew to the positions in the rear.
The night of fighting made the entire reconnaissance company very tired. At the same time, it also caused huge casualties. Of the 200-man reconnaissance company, more than 20 people died all the way.
There were more than 50 wounded, and the whole team was only a little more than 100 people. Many of these soldiers are still exhausted and unable to continue.
After all, they set out later than the Japanese army, and they tracked and ambushed the Japanese army all the way to dig fortifications and prepare for battle. At the same time, they engaged in high-intensity fighting, which made them exceed their limits both mentally and physically.
But everybody is holding on. They knew that the Japanese army on the opposite side would not be able to hold on. Now it is a matter of patience on both sides, and whoever can hold on to the end may be able to win.
Retreating to the positions in the rear, the fighters were panting and their lips were white. The night of fighting, and it was all high-intensity rush warfare, had too much impact on them.
But they all know. As long as you can drag it out until dawn, that's fine. When the time comes, the fighters of the Wehrmacht will be dispatched directly, and as long as they and others are not surrounded, they can completely retreat calmly.
The fighter formations would hold these Japanese troops back, and the 5th Division, which was on the march, could calmly break through the damned 12th Army.
The Fifth Division was trying to take out the Japanese, and the commander of the Twelfth Army, Otaka Kamezo, was also trying to get rid of the pursuit of the reconnaissance company.
He saw the means used by the reconnaissance company. It was clear that he wanted to hold them back and wait for dawn. He had learned from the air force units of the Wehrmacht, and if there were no complete fortifications, they would be bombed into corpses if they were encountered in the field.
"Command! The brigades were separated directly as wings. Break through in four directions. Do not engage with the opposing troops, and withdraw from positions directly bypassing their attack routes. Ozaka Kamizo thought for a moment on his horse, and said in a deep voice: "Let the follow-up wounded escort team come up, and they will be responsible for attacking the opposite Shina troops." ”
"And we...... After they attacked, they made a roundabout way to the left and right! After a pause, Ozaka Kamizo said in a deep voice: "Command all departments not to contact or exchange fire with the enemy. Evacuate directly! ”
"Hay!" The adjutant answered in a loud voice and went down to give the order. And Odaka Kamezo was silent holding a telegram from Anyang.
The team sent by Anyang to pick up him has arrived near Linzhang. It was only a little more than ten kilometers away from him, and the Twelfth Army only needed a forced march to join them.
At that time, the soldiers of both sides and one place directly withdrew to Anyang. After entering Anyang City, the Twelfth Army, which was backed by hundreds of thousands of troops of the Central China Front, could not be afraid of the pursuit of the Wehrmacht.
After all, no matter how many pursuing troops there are, it is impossible to have hundreds of thousands of people, right?! After all, they still have to clean up the slowdown in Shandong, and they can completely obtain temporary security.
"Quick! Come on! Don't be left behind......" There were bursts of shouts from within the ranks of the Fifth Division. In order to block this attack, Liang Dashan specially transferred veteran elites from various departments to fill in the Fifth Division.
In order to make the Fifth Division ashamed of itself. It's good to get back the lost face. These elite veterans come from all parts of the Second Army, and they are also holding their breath to completely wipe out the damned Twelfth Army!
Everyone trotted silently with their weapons in their hands. They are all veterans of the rigorous training of the Wehrmacht, with good physical foundation and high training intensity. The march along the way, though it had exhausted them, had not yet reached their limit.
Everyone was running with their heads down, they knew that the battle was ahead. Because they could already faintly hear the sound of gunfire.
In the darkness of the night, Japanese troops continued to charge towards the positions of the reconnaissance company. The reconnaissance company retreated step by step towards the rear position, and they tried their best to kill and wound the Japanese troops who rushed up, trying their best to maintain their combat effectiveness.
"Company commander, our ammunition is about to run out...... instructor Gao Qi said to Sheng Yong with a calm face: "We only have so much ammunition to bring out, and we ...... fight down this way."
Sheng Yong didn't squeak. The previous was just an ambush operation, and the ammunition consumption was relatively small. But now it's a phased blockade. The ammunition consumption of the reconnaissance company has become even greater.
The ammunition they carried with them was only two or three bases, and the grenades had already been thrown. More than a dozen mines were also used up. There are not many punishers left in the future.
"Turn on the radio and tell the division headquarters that if they don't come to Lao Tzu again, they will ......" Sheng Yong took a deep breath, he regretted the decision he had made.
"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" Before Sheng Yong finished speaking, suddenly there was a whole explosion sound from the Japanese position. Then Sheng Yong's eyes widened with a look of disbelief.
He was familiar with the sound of the explosion, especially the scream of the tail flames! This is a rocket peculiar to the Wehrmacht, and this kind of weapon is certainly impossible for the Japanese army to have.
"Kill!!" A small hilly ground with a roar seemed to shake, but countless figures suddenly appeared in the night. Armed with broadswords and rifles, they immediately smashed into the crowd of Japanese soldiers.
And behind the Japanese soldiers, piles of figures are also moving.
"Damn...... It's finally here......" Sheng Yong sat on the position, the sweat on his head dripping down. I didn't feel it just now, but now that I think about it, I'm really afraid.
It's just that more than 100 men and horses are facing tens of thousands of Japanese troops. And what kind of mood is this when you run out of food by yourself?! Sheng Yong secretly swore that he would never be so reckless in the future.
But he himself knew that if he encountered such a situation again, he might not do it again.
"Kill it! Rendezvous with the troops!! Takasaki reacted the fastest, and with a roar he pulled out his gun and rushed out of the position. Even the soldiers, who were holding back a vicious breath, roared and killed them.
The Japanese retreated, and it was a rare retreat for them. Countless Japanese soldiers tried to pull a few cushions on their backs in desperation. But where can the Wehrmacht fighters be stupid ?!
These Japanese soldiers were either shot to death indiscriminately or hacked to death indiscriminately. Never give them a chance to fight back.
Captain Katayama was in the crowd of Japanese troops, looking at the Fifth Division that was pressed like mountains and seas. He knew he was at the end of his rope.
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!!" With all his strength, Katayama roared loudly. That's the only thing he can do. At this moment. He thought of Washi from his hometown. It's a Sendai specialty, so sweet!
What she and Yumiko love most is watching the cherry blossoms. Eating Japanese sweets. Yumiko...... Don't wait for me, maybe we'll meet under the cherry blossom tree in the next life......
"Suddenly......" A gunshot rang out, and Katayama felt his body being torn apart. Thick plasma gushed out, and Katayama smiled bitterly. Don't these Shina people know what the spirit of a samurai is?! At least give me a dignified death......
Katayama died, his stomach swept through four heavy machine-gun bullets. His intestines and spleen are all rotten into a lump of minced meat, and if he doesn't die like this, it can only mean that he has become a Buddha.
His saber was found by the soldiers of the Fifth Division and delivered to Shang Yingyan.
"Sheng Yong! You son of a bitch! Who gave you the right to do that?! Look at the reconnaissance company, how many fighters did we lose ?! Which of these isn't a good man?! Do you deserve them?! ”
Shang Yingyan pointed at Sheng Yong's nose and scolded on the battlefield, and Sheng Yong, who was scolding, didn't dare to say a word.
"It's okay if your dog is blocked, why don't you even know that people have run away?! Still stupidly squatting here, you squatting a fart! "The Fifth Division captured some Japanese soldiers who did not die. From these people it became known that the main forces of the Twelfth Army had long since withdrawn.
Hearing this news made Shang Yingyan even more angry, and he gritted his teeth and scolded Sheng Yong.
"Hurry up and take your people to Lao Tzu to take them down and repair them! And you! Now you've been removed! Takasaki, you are temporarily acting as the commander of the reconnaissance company! Sheng Yong! You're now locked up in confinement! No one is allowed to let him out without my orders, understand?! ”
"Yes!!"
Shang Yingyan took a deep breath, and the sky was already dark at this time. Shang Yingyan knew that if he didn't pursue again, it would definitely be too late. But besides the pursuit, he had more important things to do.
"Tell the Air Force where we are and ask them to give air support. The reconnaissance company stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the divisions followed me in pursuit! ”
It's a small punishment. Didn't your reconnaissance company fight against orders?! I'll punish you for cleaning up the battlefield. I won't fight for you. Let you be arrogant.
After receiving the order, all the units gathered together, and it was better to say that it was a war than to relax....... The entire Fifth Division felt that it was not cool enough.
After receiving the order that the Japanese army was in front, the 5th Division went directly through the position and killed the front. The Japanese advanced in a roundabout way, while the 5th Division marched in a straight line. It's clear who's fast and who's slow.
At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, and the various scenes on the plain have gradually become clear. There was no march for long. Shang Yingyan received a report of the discovery of Japanese troops.
When the entire Fifth Division received the information, it did not hesitate to pounce on the Japanese position.
"Chirp...... "There wasn't much time to adjust the coordinates, anyway, the Japanese army was now in a large crowd, and they almost blasted towards their position.......
Although this accuracy rate is not high, it really makes the Japanese army scramble.
"Red Deer Noro! How did they catch up?! Bastard! Idiot! Yuki Katayama, this bastard, he should be disemboweled!! The tail turtle hid in the team and cursed.
If he can't see that the main force of the Wehrmacht is catching up, then he can be regarded as the commander of this army.
"Let people organize a front immediately, and we must stop the attack of these Chinese dolphins." Ozaka Kamizo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He commanded the adjutant beside him: "Send someone to investigate, how many We're facing We're facing it." ”
"Ask Anyang's troops to tell them that we need tactical assistance now. Ask them to speed up their march and tell them where we are......"
Breath. Ogaka Kamizo gave four or five orders. After the adjutant recorded all the orders, he saw that Otaka Kamezo no longer gave orders, so he bowed his head and went down to give orders and take telegrams.
"Damn it...... Damn it......" Ogaka Kamizo held up his binoculars and looked at the battle situation on the battlefield, muttering incessantly. Just a little bit! I'm just about to meet the teacher!
"Kill!!" The soldiers of the Fifth Division had been holding back all night, and at this moment all the anger in their hearts was released. Countless men pounced on the Japanese positions under the cover of artillery fire. The two sides were immediately slaughtered together.
There wasn't much cover to use in the hills, and the two sides engaged in the most brutal encounters. The Japanese army did not prepare at all. All of a sudden, I suffered a big loss.
The advantage of the 5th Division over the Japanese was that although they also marched overnight, there was no battle along the way. It's not bad in terms of energy.
The Japanese army was miserable. The attacks of the reconnaissance company along the way gave them a lot of headaches, and with the problem of casualties and the consumption of ammunition, in fact they were now close to a state of collapse.
"Assault!!" The Japanese commander roared, and the Japanese soldiers rushed to the position with a shout. There was no room for maneuver on both sides, and the Twelfth Army knew that it would be able to withdraw to Anyang if it fought this battle.
Otherwise, perhaps the Twelfth Army would have been buried here. The Fifth Division also knew that if the Twelfth Army could not be stopped here, then the chances of stopping them again would only be even slimmer.
"Boom, boom...... "The sound ......of gunfire and explosions was so loud that there was no reason why the Fifth Division, which had the advantage in firepower, should not use its superiority.
They suppressed the Japanese support forces from their positions, and at the same time constantly killed the Japanese troops who were surrounded by them.
"Red deer! Send someone to break through the Wehrmacht's encirclement from the flank! Don't let them get their way! Ogaka Kamizo shouted in a hurry, and a Japanese brigade came out on the flank of the Fifth Division in a matter of minutes.
"Cavalry! What about Lao Tzu's cavalry?! Are they all grazing?! I'll your grandma's! Shang Yingyan, the commander of the Fifth Division, was also scolding, and with his scolding, a group of cavalry rushed out to intercept the Japanese soldiers who were trying to attack from the flank.
It was only three or two efforts to disperse this group of Japanese troops.
The superiority of the Japanese army was gradually being lost, and the Fifth Division, which had an advantage in terms of strength, firepower, and energy, gradually gained the upper hand on the battlefield.
"Assault!!" Suddenly, there was a roar from behind the Japanese position. But it was the support wing of the Central China Front that came from Anyang to support arrived at the battlefield, and they went directly into the battle without hesitation!
ps: Codeword overnight...... I'll have to spare more yards tomorrow to compensate everyone......
