Chapter 1099: The fierce battle begins
Chapter 1100: The fierce battle begins
Eighty miles north of Luoyan Mountain, on the first line of defense of the Japanese puppet army, the smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, and the fierce gunfire is still resounding through the heavens and the earth.
The few surviving Japanese puppet soldiers opened fire in an attempt to stop the attack, but were all beaten into a sieve by Scarface and the powerful assault fire of the fighters.
What's more, the infantry was followed by a large and heavily armored tank fighting vehicle.
By the time the backbone of the Japanese army was almost dead and the overseers were killed, the puppet army composed of other Goryeo sticks had become completely vulnerable.
Scarface, Wang Erbao and they took the lead, and everywhere they went, the puppet army surrendered one after another.
Many times, the big knife in Scarface's hand has just been raised, and before it has been chopped down, the puppet army with the stick in front of him is either frightened and turned around and fled, or he threw the gun directly without discipline, raised his hands and knelt down in surrender.
Scarface couldn't help but spit on him, and said very disappointingly: "Damn, I really don't have any military ethics at all, and I haven't killed it yet!" ”
"Taijun, we are not Japanese devils, we are Koreans!" A stick captive trembled in a somewhat stiff Chinese language.
"It turned out to be a Goryeo stick?" Scarface was taken aback when he heard this, "I'll just say when did the little Japanese devil become so mischievous, it turns out that you are not devils, since this is the case, then you should be our prisoners honestly, and when our political commissar and ideological workers come, we can decide whether you are our servant army, or go home and farm." ”
After joining the Eighth Route Army for so long, Scarface is no longer so impulsive, the Communist Party's ideology, the Eighth Route Army's preferential treatment of prisoners and other policies, he has long been familiar with it, but the Eighth Route Army does not kill prisoners, which is ineffective for Japanese devils.
Almost all the officers and soldiers of the Dragon's Tooth Corps think so, and they all do it.
If these little devils surrendered, even if it was not good to execute them in public at that time, they would definitely be sent to the west afterwards.
The disgust for the Japanese devils has penetrated deep into the marrow and soul of the anti-Japanese soldiers, and the countless blood hatreds can no longer be offset by a policy of preferential treatment of prisoners.
As the Dragon's Tooth Corps infantry coordinated attack troops swarmed in, the remnants of the Japanese puppet army were outnumbered and turned to flee one after another, and the group led by Scarface took the first line of defense of the Japanese army almost effortlessly.
Immediately afterwards, while reporting to the division headquarters and column headquarters, he personally led a regiment and two tank regiments to pursue the defeated troops of the Japanese puppet army and rushed in the direction of Luoyan Mountain.
Some of the devil soldiers and the puppet army were chased by the tank regiment on the way to escape, some were killed by shells, some were beaten into a sieve by the vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tank, and some were directly crushed into meat cakes by the tank trucks.
In the column headquarters, after Jiang Haidong and Liu Yidao received the report from the front, they immediately instructed Li Mingshan, Cheng Cai, and others to lead the main force of the column to follow up, and strive to take Luoyan Mountain in one go and open up the only road to Pyongyang and the Han River.
Scarface led three regiments to arrive at the foot of Luoyan Mountain first, and along the way they pursued and eliminated more than 3,000 remnants of the puppet army, almost annihilating all the Japanese troops in the first line of defense, and there were less than 100 puppet troops who could escape back to Yanshan alive, and there were only a few devils.
"Chief, according to intelligence, a large number of Japanese troops are stationed here, and it is a defensive line with steep terrain and easy to defend and difficult to attack, should we wait for the follow-up artillery group and brother troops to arrive before attacking?" A battalion commander approached Scarface and asked him for instructions.
Scarface glared at him and said: "What do you kid know, the soldiers are fast, the longer the delay, the more difficult the attack will be, immediately order all battalions and companies to prepare for the attack, and the two tank regiments will first bombard with artillery fire, and then attack with the infantry to provide us with armor and artillery cover!" ”
A few minutes later, nearly 100 tanks and armored vehicles of the two tank regiments opened fire one after another, and used high-explosive shells to simply cover the Japanese positions in Luoyan Mountain.
Fifteen minutes later, the infantry had rested, and an artillery battalion belonging to the first regiment had also completed its own artillery positions and began to continue shelling the Japanese lines, which, together with the tank guns of the two regiments, made a total of more than 100 guns.
After more than five minutes of aimless shelling of the Japanese position, Scarface waved his hand to stop this insignificant artillery attack, and ordered: "A battalion organizes an attack, tentative devil firepower and troop allocation!" ”
The commander of the first battalion received the order, and soon, about 400 officers and men of the two companies received orders to rush to the Japanese defense line at the foot of Luoyan Mountain in battle formation.
At the same time, the tank unit also sent a tank company and an armored vehicle company to coordinate cover.
However, as soon as the soldiers rushed within the range of Japanese firepower, they were blocked by the intensive fire of the Japanese army on the entire line, and hundreds of officers and men were attacked by the enemy's intensive gunfire and artillery fire, and some of them were constantly shot and fell to the ground.
The devil's mortars, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine guns were combined with each other to form a high-hit interception firepower network, and more than 400 soldiers were like live targets coming to their deaths in front of them, and some people were constantly hit and died heroically.
Although the tanks and armored vehicles that coordinated the attack were full of firepower and the infantry fought back desperately, most of the devils were hiding in the strong fortifications, and the firepower of the Dragon's Tooth Corps could inflict little damage on them.
As the fierce battle progressed, the Japanese army used a batch of 37mm anti-aircraft guns, plus some Type 92 infantry guns were used together, which not only caused great damage to the two assault companies, but even the armored vehicles with slightly lower defensive performance were hit by the devil's shells, which caught fire and exploded on the spot, turning into ruins.
All the armored soldiers inside died heroically.
Scarface held a telescope behind him to take it all in his eyes, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "He? Mother? Yes, this little devil of Luoyan Mountain is not simple, summon air fire support to Lao Tzu, I want to raze Luoyan Mountain to the ground! ”
At this time, the Falcon Flying Regiment had already been stationed at the improvised military airfield built by the First Column on the front of the Yalu River, and was on standby, and when it received an urgent request for help from the front-line troops, Li Yansan immediately personally led more than 30 fighters and bombers to take off one after another and rushed to Luoyan Mountain.
They are less than 200 miles away from Luoyan Mountain, and the speed of the fighter can almost be described as coming in an instant.
When the Falcon group arrived, Scarface had just ordered a stop to the tentative attack, but both companies were killed or wounded, and the armored company had also lost four armored vehicles.
