Chapter 676: The Big Fish in Dongkou Town

"Beat, give Lao Tzu a hard beating......"

Cheng Gang is Leng Feng's old subordinate, and he has served as the battalion commander of the Yaksha battalion, with rich combat experience and first-class combat effectiveness, not to mention that he is only in his early thirties, and he is already the commander of the colonel. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

As long as there is no accident, it will be ironclad to resist the last star on the shoulder in the future.

But when he started a battle, he rolled up his sleeves and couldn't say whether he could get the opportunity to wear the star, when he fought Jining, Leng Feng had already seriously criticized it once.

Because this regiment still needs to be led, this is a different regiment commander, and the battle will be different!

Therefore, Leng Feng did not remove his regiment commander, and he did fight well later, almost all the way through, and also killed Kaneda Daisa, who fled to Juye, his punishment was revoked.

I didn't expect that just two days later, I would relapse into my old ways, and I led people to the front line again.

If this is known to the old regiment commander or the division, Cheng Gang will be able to come down from the battlefield, and he will have to be confined, and he will really lose the regiment commander's hat!

If the 371st Regiment really loses Cheng Gang, the head of the regiment, it will lose its soul.

At least for now, no one has been able to take his place.

"Withstand, withhold ......"

"Shoot, shoot!"

Da Da Da ......

Japan's crooked-handle light machine gun is more troublesome, and it is not as good as the Czech light machine gun, and the magazine is directly changed, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun is even worse than the Makqin water cooling.

In terms of the consistency of firepower, the Japanese army's weapons and equipment are really inferior to those of Europe and the United States, of course, the more powerful the firepower, the more expensive it is, and the Japanese cannot compare with those old rich men in Europe and the United States, and they have a lot of money, this is for sure.

Therefore, in terms of firepower of this small arm, the Honorary First Division is actually slightly stronger than the Japanese army!

The heavy weapons and equipment of the Japanese army could not cross the river, so it completely relied on the quality of the soldiers, so it could barely fight with the 371st Regiment, and Dongkou Town was not big, and the 371st Regiment was small enough for a small town with 2,000 people!

Enyama also knew that once the opponent tied up his pocket, they would be completely a turtle in an urn.

Therefore, the Japanese army desperately held the position from the ferry to Dongkou Town, especially the riverbank embankment, which was also the most difficult to fight, and Cheng Gang did not dare to bombard the riverbank embankment with artillery, in case it was blown open and the embankment broke, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Therefore, the competition for the embankment on the riverbank can only be a battle for inch by inch of land.

The Japanese had mastered the ferry, and even if they only had a limited number of ships to transport troops, as long as there was a steady stream of reinforcements, the battle could be fought into a war of attrition and hold. Long battle!

This is what Cheng Gang doesn't want to see, and it's also what Xie Chengrui doesn't want to see.

Therefore, Xie Chengrui used the reconnaissance battalion directly under him who was familiar with the terrain, hoping that the reconnaissance battalion could break this deadlock and control the ferry, so that the Japanese troops in Dongkou Town would be solved!

Takashi Sakai on the other side of the river was very impatient, okay, he had already successfully crossed the river, why was he beaten back all of a sudden?

"Sakai-kun, order the 14th Engineer Wing to speed up the construction of the bridge, within half an hour, the pontoon bridge must be erected, as long as our tanks and armored vehicles can pass, this situation can be opened, the Chinese G army on the opposite side has no heavy weapons to attack the fortification!" Kenji Dohihara judged calmly!

"Hay!"

"Raise the balloon, order the field heavy artillery wing, ready to shell at any time!" Kenji Dohihara gave another order to a staff officer beside him.

"Hay!"

Judging from the sound of gunfire coming from the other side, the GJ team that appeared in Juancheng unexpectedly should have rushed over with light equipment and heavy equipment, otherwise, it was just a Dongkou town, why did they have to fight for so long and not take it?

Don't talk nonsense about "caring about civilians" casualties, the war pursues victory, civilians survive, and the war is lost, which is just a psychological comfort for the loser.

And the price of losing the war is far from being compensated for by surviving a few civilians, as a soldier, a battlefield commander, if he doesn't understand this bit of truth, then he is not worthy of being a soldier, and it is good to be a doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded.

"Kill, kill ......" Cheng Gang was red-eyed, and took the guard platoon like a sharp knife to kill it from the road into the town.

The Japanese army hurriedly stopped the troops from encircling and intercepting!

Cheng Gang used the usual tactics of the Japanese army, that is, to use absolute strength to tear a hole in the opponent's defensive line, and then break through this opening, rush violently, and engage the enemy in close combat.

This move is the tactic used by the Japanese army in the battle of fortifications, which is called breaking the face with points!

The Japanese army did not have many opportunities to defend, and there were even fewer opportunities for people to break through with their own tactics, and the second lieutenant squadron leader of the Japanese army who commanded the frontal defense of Dongkou Town did not expect that this Chinese G army could also have such a fierce fighting style, and the tactical use was the same as his own!

Tearing open a gap, the follow-up troops continued to break through this gap, and the gap became bigger and bigger, and finally the entire defense line collapsed.

The reconnaissance battalion that detoured from the left also reached the embankment of the Yellow River and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese ferry troops using the embankment as a cover, and the battle at the ferry instantly became white-hot!

"Battalion commander, look, the little devil has raised a sounding balloon!"

"It's not good, send a report to the brigade headquarters immediately, the little devil is going to use heavy artillery!" Battalion commander Guan Shuhong picked up the binoculars and glanced at the red balloon in the sky on the opposite bank, and hurriedly ordered.

Juancheng, the headquarters of the new 37th Brigade.

"Deputy Brigade Seat, Battalion Commander Guan reported that the Japanese army on the opposite bank raised a sounding balloon, which should be to measure the artillery distance, angle and direction, our troops do not have any fortifications, and they are all exposed to the Japanese guns!"

"Order the front line, the troops are spread out as much as possible, once the Japanese are shelled, in such a big place, I will see how many shells they can waste!" Xie Chengrui coldly ordered.

"Yes!"

"However, the Japanese artillery will definitely select valuable targets, and now only the Japanese army is still resisting in two places, Jiucheng and Dongkou, and the Japanese army should strike at our army in these two places!" Chief of Staff Han Heon-won said.

"Well, what the chief of staff said makes sense, immediately inform Cheng Gang and Huang Yong, let the two of them be careful of the Japanese artillery bombardment, and ask Guan Shuhong if they can find the Japanese artillery position, so that we can also defend in a targeted manner!" Xie Chengrui nodded.

"Yes, I'll ask!" After the communications staff officer finished taking notes, he closed the folder and turned around and walked out.

About 100 people from the new batch of reinforcements of the Japanese army went ashore from the ferry port by hovercraft, and the Japanese army's engineering units and boat bridge troops were working intensively at the ferry!

After a visual inspection, it will not be long before the pontoon bridge can be closed, and once the pontoon bridge is closed, the Japanese army can cross the river on a large scale, and heavy weapons and equipment can be transported over.

This is definitely not good news for the new 37th Brigade that blocked the Japanese army!

"Zhang Deqin!"

"Here!"

"You take two people to find Regiment Commander Cheng and ask him to give me the infantry battalion to use, I can't let the little devil erect the pontoon bridge so quickly!" While directing the battle against the Japanese troops on the river embankment, Guan Shuhong also set aside a mind to observe the progress of the Japanese army's erection of the pontoon bridge.

Seeing the sudden acceleration of the Japanese army's advance, he realized that the Japanese army's advance must be interrupted, otherwise, once the Japanese army's mechanized heavy equipment came ashore, the 371st Regiment and the 37th Brigade would not be able to stop it.

"Yes!" Zhang Deqin agreed, he is a communications staff officer of the battalion headquarters and the commander of the third platoon of the first company, not only a top technical officer, but also a top combat leader, and can be regarded as an all-rounder.

The battle in Dongkou Town completely entered the white heat, Cheng Gang led people to break in, and there was a fierce battle with the Japanese army in the old street in the town, if the Japanese army retreated, there would be no place to defend, then if it retreated to the ferry, it would be equivalent to a complete failure of this river crossing operation!

Bullets are flying in the air, hitting the yellow earth, and it is very easy to drill a small hole, if this is like this in the human body, it is estimated that if you don't die, you will have to shed your skin!

War is cruel and inhumane, and bullets don't have long eyes!

Bang!

Before he could finish his twentieth birthday, a soldier of the 371st Regiment collapsed on the way to the charge, the bullet penetrated his chest, and the blood spread out in his chest at once, and blood bubbled out of his mouth.

"Regiment, regimental commander, avenge me......"

"Baby, baby......" Cheng Gang roared, "Cover!" One rolled, rushed over, grabbed the fallen warrior, and dragged him behind a bunker on the side of the street.

"Captain, take revenge!"

"**** little devil, ah!" Cheng Gang angrily grabbed his mp18 and shot wildly at the location where he had just killed the fighter.

After the gunshot, a Japanese soldier sat down from behind the opposite wall, his body was like a blood gourd, and he knew at a glance that he could not die.

The person who died was Cheng Gang's guard, a young life disappeared like this, and today is his birthday, originally said that he would celebrate his birthday today.

But now, birthdays and deaths have become a day.

"Commander Cheng, I am Zhang Deqin of the reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, and our battalion commander will use it to the borrowed artillery battalion ......"

"What for?"

"Shelling the pontoon bridge of the devils!"

"Okay, I agree, but leave me one door, you take the rest with you, remember to come back when you run out!" Cheng Gang knew that now was not the time to be sad, and he had to wipe out the Japanese troops in Dongkou Town before he had time to be sad.

There was a big fish in this Dongkou town, which he judged by his experience in fighting with the Japanese army for several months, if the Japanese army had not set up its headquarters in Dongkou, there would definitely not be so many Japanese officers here, and these Japanese soldiers were completely desperate to organize them into the town, as if they were protecting something.

"Brethren, come with me!" Cheng Gang changed a magazine and rushed out with the team.

This time, his target was the Japanese headquarters in Dongkou, where the barracks originally stationed in Dongkou Town were located.

Yuan Shandeng did not expect that someone would judge that there was a Japanese army headquarters in this Dongkou Town, and it was even possible that the commander of the Japanese army crossing the river was in Dongkou Town.

With such a big operation, the origin of this commander must be not small, and if he can be captured alive, it will be of different significance.

On the Taierzhuang battlefield, although the Japanese army dispatched planes to help, the encirclement was still slowly shrinking, and the temporary advantage gained by the Japanese army in a counterattack was almost completely lost.

Tang Keqin can be regarded as open this time, he used all the strength to eat milk, and personally supervised the battle, he knew that if he lost this battle, what would be the consequences, he would lose Lao Jiang's trust!

Losing his official position is a trivial matter, losing Lao Jiang's trust, it will be fatal, will the people he offended in the past let him go?

It was precisely because it was his suggestion that Lao Jiang personally intervened in the command, forcing Li Delin to change the original battle plan, making it twice as difficult to annihilate the Seya detachment!

His error in judgment seriously affected the deployment of the Battle of Taierzhuang.

And now, the Japanese conspiracy has been exposed, that is, to cut off the Longhai line, surround the fifth GJ in Xuzhou, and come to a grand slam, once the Japanese conspiracy succeeds, the consequences will be too serious.

How many troops are there in total in the entire GJ, before the war it was two million, and how many are there now? Most of the GJs in the Xuzhou area were veterans who moved to Songhu and Nanjing.

If these hundreds of thousands of troops are surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese, what will they do to defend Wuhan and what will they do to resist the war?

If according to the original plan, the Seya detachment could be completely defeated in two or three days, which would have been an exciting victory, but now it is good, the Seya detachment and the Sakamoto detachment have converged, and their strength has increased greatly and their morale has been greatly boosted!

According to the previous prediction, it will take at least seven to ten days to defeat the Japanese army, which is more than double the time.

But will the Japanese army give them this time?

Mengcheng has already fallen, the next step for the Japanese army is Wuyang and Yongcheng, once the Japanese army cuts off the Longhai Railway, the supply and westward retreat channel of the Fifth War Zone will be blocked, and at that time, these hundreds of thousands of people will be the meat on the chopping block!

The Tufeiyuan Division crossed the Yellow River to the south, and the signal sent was very clear.

The 1st Division of Honor happened to have insight into the conspiracy of the Japanese army, and rushed to Juancheng almost at the same time to block the Tufeiyuan Division, and I am afraid that the situation will take a sharp turn for the worse.

The terrain in eastern Henan was flat, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese mechanized corps increased exponentially, and when the time came, they were unscrupulous. Like a flood over the earth, who can stop it?

Of course, the Japanese army does not have an advantage in terms of strength, and if they want to eat hundreds of thousands of horses in the Fifth Theater in one bite, some people will not be able to swallow elephants, but once such a situation is formed, the blow to the entire theater will be huge, and once the morale is frustrated and the army is flustered, I would like to ask, when the time comes, who will be able to control so many troops?

Therefore, at this time, to preserve the strength, that is, to find death by yourself, whether it is Lao Tang's 20th Army, or Sun Fanglu's 2nd Army, and the 60th Army of the Dian Army, they have all used the strength they can use!

All the GJs of the Fifth Theater burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness in an instant, and the surrounded Japanese Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment had a feeling of being beaten and had nothing to love.

And the new 38th Brigade is still resting in the area of Shihe Town, which seems to have been forgotten by the entire Fifth War Zone.

Others have forgotten, but Li Delin has not forgotten that the new 38 Brigade needs a little time to run in after being replenished, and one more day of running-in will increase its combat effectiveness, and he now has something to do with the only strategic mobile force in the Fifth Theater.

Li Delin wants to use it, and he must use it on the blade.
