Chapter 234: You Have Me Section 1 A Big Fish
The fierce battle was not until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the battlefield from north to south was temporarily quiet for a while, and the second brigade of the Japanese Shimizu Special Operations Wing really couldn't arch the defense line of the Eighth Road, and the halfway up the top peak was too difficult! The stones are slippery, not to mention, they are also covered with ice skates and slippery moss or something, and the devil's big shoes slip as soon as they step on them, and they can't stand unsteadily, and they have to carry a gun on their backs, and they can only go up with their hands and feet.
After several attacks, it was really impossible to attack halfway up the mountain, and the squadron attacking north along the river did not go well, and the bullets fired from the gyro peak alone made the squadron suffer, not to mention the stone beams that were as white as a pile of snow in the north.
It has been six hours of fierce fighting, and the soldiers are indeed tired, and Qing Shui has called for air support for half a day, but he has never come, and the reply he received is that there is a shortage of fuel, the reserve of aerial bombs has not been replenished, and the plane is also seriously damaged, and it is impossible to come today.
At this time, Lieutenant General Anda of Beiping was also very worried in the morning when he learned that the Qingshui Wing, which had been successfully breaking through, had been ambushed in the area of Nandaozui and had fallen into a bitter battle, but he had no other way than to urge the Kato Wing in the north to speed up the rescue, and after the other rescue force retreated to Laiyuan County, it was also in a fierce battle with the troops of the First Division of the Eighth Route Army.
The first division strictly followed the basic principle of taking advantage of the fire to loot, not a single stronghold that could be uprooted was left, and not a single village or town that could be captured would not give up; if it weren't for the quick return of the devil troops who went to the rescue, the old regiment of the first division would have taken advantage of the victory to enter Laiyuan County!
At present, we can only hope that this Kato United will complete the last few tens of miles, from their current position to the South Daozui where the Shimizu United is trapped, it is only less than forty kilometers! Shimizu Daisa also said to his teacher, Lieutenant General Adachi. There is no need for Kato United to play here. As long as they can capture the town of Waterfort to the north. Qing Shui means that as long as Shuibao Township is taken, the Eighth Route besieging him will be attacked on his back, and with the consistent combat style of the Eighth Route, he will take the initiative to withdraw from the siege.
When Qing Shui and the others retreated from the Horse Carriage, they had very sufficient food, grass and ammunition, and when they decided to divide them into two parts on the first day, Qing Shui ordered the distribution of the food and ammunition carried by the rearguard troops, leaving less than one-third of the reserve materials of the rearguard troops. This is done with the intention that in the event of an ambush, the infantry will be able to sustain itself for at least three to five days.
To put it bluntly, the Kato United must rush to Shuibao Township in three to five days, but they have been blocked by the Eighth Road for a day and a night! By the afternoon, Lieutenant General Anda finally admitted that he could not attack it, and the Eighth Route had gathered at least 3,000 people opposite him, and he was still carrying heavy weapons such as cannons!
The devil has made excuses for himself again, how can there be 3,000 people! Even if you count all the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas around Tieyingpan, there are not enough 3,000 villagers, and there are not enough hidden goats or anything! And the artillery, just four mortars. No more shells!
At noon, the guard company rushed over from Shuibao Township. The devils of Laiyuan were too busy to take care of themselves, the old 1st Regiment and the 25th Regiment of the 1st Division once broke through the Dongguan of the county seat, and the two sides were fighting fiercely, and most of the more than a dozen strongholds around Laiyuan had been uprooted by the 1st Division, so the defense of the East Road was handed over to the guerrillas and local comrades, and the guard company was ordered to reinforce the special training camp.
When the guards arrived, it was just in time for the last attack of the devils of the Kato United, not to mention that the little devils were a little interesting, the first time I fought scared a lot, but I was driven up the mountain by my boss, and there were a few more who were not afraid of death after one fight, and the defeat and retreat once, and the next time it was more decent than the last fight.
This soldier is tempered in this way, the first time the recruit goes back to the battlefield, as long as he doesn't go crazy and doesn't collapse, he will have a long memory and harden his heart, not to mention that the little devil is a formally trained soldier after all, after a morning, after being repelled five attacks, this last attack is really a little interesting.
At least the infantry artillery is coordinated, the front and rear formations of the squad and the tactical deployment are more proficient, the grenadiers and machine guns are not blind, they know the fire points of the other side and the troops covering their own side, what makes Fan bold is that the little devils finally heard the eight-way gun on the slope, and they didn't immediately pout their butts and lay on the ground, knowing that they dodged sideways!
However, the large force of 3,000 troops of the Eighth Route reported by Kato is much stronger than these devils who took a morning to be presentable, especially when Kato found that the western position of the Eighth Road, which he thought was almost consumed, was about to attack the last attack, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and there were several more machine guns at once, and the machine guns were neither the machine guns equipped by the Japanese army, nor the ** Maxine Czech style or something, which was very strange, but the firepower was very fierce. The telescope watched as his soldiers lined up like wheat swept down by a sickle!
He hadn't been to Europe and didn't have two hits of Qing Shui, so he could get a few from the Germans who had just been equipped with this machine gun, but the little devil gave Yang two sticks as soon as he got acquainted, and it became the treasure of the 11th Division, and it was given to the guard company, and the MG1942 style This German-made thing is easy to use!
Fan Daring also said in his heart, Commander Yang was eccentric, saying that everything was tightly related to the equipment of the special training camp, and Qinglonggou also said that he would let him pick weapons and ammunition at will, and these two good things were still given to the guard company!
With the participation of the guard company, the Kato United is completely out of play! The guard stayed in the east for two and a half days, and thought that there was a tough battle, and the devil did not see a single hair, so they retreated, and ran so many roads in vain, and now when I heard the gunshot, I saw that the devil was not the same as the beast that had been hungry for half a month, and when I heard the blood, I went crazy and bit it!
It's not enough to use the German machine gun to break through the Japanese little devils, a counter-charge pressed the attacking devils back into the valley at once, making the devil's camp in the valley so nervous, and the most interesting thing is that this counter-charge also caught a big fish!
Kato Daisa sent the adjutant commander, and he also admitted that his actual combat command experience was not as good as that of this subordinate who had been in China for more than six years, so he handed over the two squadrons to the adjutant commander and asked him to lead the team to attack the western mountain beam, not to mention that the adjutant commander also commanded really well!
Under the artillery bombardment, the infantry moved to a place about 300 meters away from the position of the Eighth Road on the mountain beam, set up positions with heavy machine guns and grenadiers, calculated the distance, and after the artillery fire was extended, the heavy machine guns and grenadiers blocked the front line of the Eighth Road in accordance with the measured shooting elements, and the infantry began to march up the hill at this time.
When they reached the sortie area of more than 100 meters, the adjutant told the infantry to stop, summoned artillery fire to bombard the mountain beam again, agreed on how long to shoot a few shells, the infantry waited for the time to charge, and as soon as the artillery fire stopped and the whistle sounded, the infantry went up! So as we said earlier, this devil's attack is indeed a bit different.
It's a pity that they met the guard company in this attack! A counter-charge made this textbook attack a mess, and the adjutant wanted to direct the machine gun squad to retreat, but the Eighth Route rushed down too quickly, and the machine gun squad and the adjutant general were surrounded in a ditch on the edge of the terrace.
The devils who retreated and the eight roads who chased down didn't realize that there were big fish among the dozens of devils in this ditch! The adjutant had just wanted to command the squad to quietly go around from the west, and when he returned to the valley, a ghost soldier was really in arrears, and fired a few shots at the Eighth Route on the slope, hitting a soldier of the Eighth Route Army!
The company commander of the guard company had a fiery temper, and he happened to see the soldier on his side falling, and at a glance, he saw that there were devils in the ditch to the west! As soon as he greeted the hula, a platoon of guards and soldiers outflanked him! Ten seconds later, there was no movement in the ditch where the grenade exploded, and I was about to go down to check it, when the three devils jumped out from the other end with a devil on his back, and ran desperately down the hill without looking back!
The company commander knew that he was an officer as soon as he looked at the leather boots and military uniform he was wearing! Pick up the MG1942 at the end of the soldier next to him, go to the edge of the ditch, shoot two long points with a bang, and hit a few devils and fall down the hillside.
When the soldiers rushed over, three of the four devils were killed and one was seriously injured, and the officer's room was injured by a grenade in the leg and waist, and the three devil soldiers tried to set him up and flee for his life, but unfortunately he died in the hands of the commander of the guard company who was a machine gunner.
