Chapter 752: Great Victory on the Eastern Front (2)
Soon, the reconnaissance unit sent by Zhang Haipeng reported back to him: "Sir, there is no danger ahead, you can get through!" ”、、
Zhang Haipeng asked cautiously: "Are you sure?" Is there any investigation on the first line of sky canyon? ”
"It's all checked, and there are no abnormalities." The commander of a puppet military battalion who led the team said.
Zhang Haipeng was confirmed, and then waved his hand to the people behind him and said: "Then let's go, everyone hurry up, and get through the Guò Canyon as fast as possible!" ”
More than 5,000 puppet troops moved again and followed Zhang Haipeng into the first line of heaven, and sure enough, when they passed the first line of heaven, they were not ambushed, which made Zhang Haipeng breathe a sigh of relief.
、
After the troops were completely cleared of the first line of heaven, Zhang Haipeng rode a horse and looked back at the precipitous first line of sky, and some ambitious opponents said: "Such a good and dangerous place, the dragon tooth column does not even use it, and it seems that it is not as difficult to deal with as the legend." Order the troops, speed up the advance, we will first rush to the city of Wuqiang County to set up camp and wait for the arrival of the Japanese! ”
Immediately, more than 5,000 puppet troops set off again, flags fluttering, crowds of people, it seemed to be very like a winding dragon, surging along the highway in the direction of Wuqiang County.
It's just that the puppet soldiers didn't notice that in a bush not far from them, there were two reconnaissance fighters of the Eighth Route Army wearing sky blue military uniforms, and after they just left, the two soldiers quietly left the grass and headed west.
They came to a wooded area about three miles away from the Ray of Heaven Canyon.
In this forest, there are two regiments, more than 5,000 Longya officers and soldiers, and the commander led by is none other than Ma Biao, the commander of the Second Brigade.
After the two reconnaissance fighters entered the woods, they came to a big tree with a familiar car, and saluted Ma Biao, who was sitting with his back against the big tree and resting, waiting for the news: "Brigade commander, the first wave of puppet troops is about 5,000 people, and they have all passed the sky and gone in the direction of Wuqiang. ”
Ma Biao, who was still closing his eyes and recuperating when he heard this, opened his eyes in vain, then stood up from the ground and said in a deep voice: "Is there a devil or a puppet army behind this wave of puppet army, and how long will it take to reach the first line of heaven?" ”
One of the signal soldiers glanced at his companion and hurriedly replied: "Brigade commander, it is still a puppet army that is followed by a brigade, and the strength is also about one brigade, and it is about three kilometers away from the first line of heaven. ”
Ma Biao immediately said: "That is to say, there is not much time left for us, herald, immediately upload my order, rush to the first line of heaven to set up an ambush at full speed, block all the remaining Japanese puppet army from the first line of the sky, and inform Brigade Commander Wu that the net can be closed, and the five thousand puppet army that will be eaten first." ”
A messenger and a herald responded with a bang, and immediately took orders to leave.
More than 5,000 impatient officers and soldiers who had been waiting in the woods for a long time rushed out of the dense woods like fierce tigers and cheetahs in the forest.
At a distance of 1,500 meters, it only took more than 10 minutes for the soldiers to reach the first line of the sky, enter the ambush position that had been surveyed in advance, and prepare for battle as quickly as possible.
There are also veterans who took advantage of this short time to lay some mines in the canyon.
About ten minutes later, the puppet army of a brigade entered the canyon, and because Zhang Haipeng's department in front of him had passed, the vigilance of the puppet army of this brigade was not so high.
Even the sentinels were not sent, so they all swaggered into the first line of heaven, because the first line of heaven in the canyon is relatively narrow, the devil's four columns marched in columns, and after entering the canyon, they were forced to change to two teams.
After the puppet soldiers completely entered the canyon, Ma Biao, who was standing on the edge of a large rock above the canyon on the right, quietly pulled an M36 high-explosive grenade and threw it into the canyon with all his might.
The high-explosive grenade squeaked and smoked and fell into the crowd of puppet soldiers who were marching, and before it could fully hit the ground, it exploded violently.
With a loud bang, the raging shredging shrapnel exploded like fireworks in the crowd of puppet soldiers, knocking down a large part of the puppet army.
The grenade explosion symbolized the order, and more than 5,000 dragon tooth officers and soldiers who were in ambush above the canyon on both sides of the canyon opened fire one after another.
All kinds of light and heavy weapons spat out tongues of fire and roared angrily, and for a while, the gunfire was loud and bullets rained down.
The puppet army that entered the canyon didn't expect an ambush here, and when they were caught off guard, they fell down in groups screaming like mustard.
Some of the Dragon's Tooth warriors not only fired, but also threw grenades and explosives bags from above the canyon from time to time.
Combined with the dense rain of bullets, it caused extremely heavy casualties to the puppet army.
The puppet army was restricted by the terrain, and its forces could not be deployed at all, coupled with the sudden attack, they did not know the reality of the enemy army who ambushed them, and the army was in chaos, and soon it became a pot of porridge.
In the final analysis, these puppet armies are still puppet armies, and their combat effectiveness and comprehensive intelligence are still inferior to the elite divisions of the devil's army in wartime.
That is, it is stronger than the combat effectiveness of ordinary puppet armies, but that's all.
The ambush troops led by Ma Biao were no less than the puppet army in terms of strength, but their firepower was much stronger than theirs.
Therefore, in just a few minutes, the blood of the puppet soldiers who were killed was like a river, and the corpses were all over the field.
Throughout the canyon, screams and violent explosions were heard one after another. The fierce firefight here spread far and wide, and the puppet army before and after the first line of the sky heard it.
Zhang Haipeng had just ordered the troops to stop advancing and was about to send people to turn around and take a look, when thousands of dragon-toothed officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in the fields and grasses on both sides of the road ahead.
Submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns formed a powerful assault fire, and Zhang Haipeng's forward troops were shot and fell to the ground.
"Damn, we've been fooled." Zhang Haipeng suddenly came to his senses, but there was already a lot of gunfire in front of him, and he didn't know how many enemy troops were attacking him.
Taken aback, Zhang Haipeng had to order his soldiers to immediately start on the spot and fight tenaciously.
At the same time, he ordered the signal corps to send a telegram to the main force of the follow-up 8th Division, as well as other puppet troops, asking them to rush to support.
Wu Ming held an MG34 general-purpose machine gun, and while charging through the crowd, he roared loudly: "Brothers, fight quickly, solve this turtle in the urn as much as possible, and don't let the guys in the Second Brigade look down on us!" Kill! ”
The soldiers marched forward bravely, relying on their superiority in firepower, and the momentum was like a tide, and the puppet army that was killed was defeated and retreated, and fell to the ground with bullets in pieces.
Behind the front line of gunfire and artillery roaring, endlessly, and an ambush force suddenly appeared in front, no matter how stupid the puppet army of Zhang Haipeng's department was, they also understood that they had been ambushed by the dragon's tooth column.
Therefore, they were all very frightened, did not know the enemy's situation, and the back road was cut off, which greatly damaged their morale.
In less than twenty minutes of exchanging fire with the ambush troops led by Wu Ming, they were completely defeated and completely defeated.
And these twenty minutes passed, but the fierce battle of the first line of heaven became more and more intense, and more than half of the thousands of puppet soldiers who had entered the canyon before were killed and wounded, and they were about to be annihilated.
A follow-up puppet army arrived in time and responded to them with artillery cover, taking advantage of this opportunity, the remaining puppet army was able to escape alive and withdraw from the first-line heavenly canyon.
Subsequently, the main force of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army and nearly 20,000 other main forces of the puppet army also arrived one after another.
Knowing that Zhang Haipeng's department had cut off contact with them, and a brigade had lost more than half of its regiment, the devil officers of the 8th Division were furious and immediately commanded the Japanese puppet army to launch an attack on the first line of sky.
More than 20,000 puppet troops and more than 20,000 devils formed a huge attack group and launched a fierce offensive like a tide.
However, the two main infantry regiments led by Ma Biao, in the battle just now, did not suffer much losses at all, and fought a beautiful ambush battle.
Although the Japanese puppet army had a large number of troops and a fierce offensive, in a short period of time, they could not help them at all, and they broke into the canyon several times, but they were hit by the fierce fire of the dragon's tooth defenders, and suffered heavy losses, and had to retreat.
In this way, the elite of the puppet army of more than 50,000 days could only watch as Zhang Haipeng's more than 5,000 troops were defeated and eaten by the dragon's tooth column.
Zhang Haipeng's telegrams for help were almost one after another, but only a few miles away, the reinforcements were unable to cross the line of sky and meet them.
In the midst of the defeat, Zhang Haipeng also tried to gather a group of soldiers and retreat in the direction of the first line of heaven, but as soon as he entered the canyon, he was hit by the fierce fire of the Longya officers and soldiers commanded by Ma Biao.
At the same time, there was also a wave of dragon tooth warriors under Wu Ming who followed in pursuit.
With the cooperation of the ambush troops above the canyon, the small breakout force led by Zhang Haipeng was directly encircled and suppressed in the canyon on the spot.
The battle lasted for more than two hours, and more than 5,000 people under Zhang Haipeng's department were completely wiped out by Ma Biao and Wu Ming.
Of course, the total annihilation of this was not all killed, but the destruction of the independent 3rd Infantry Brigade in an orderly manner.
After their brigade commander Zhang Haipeng was killed in the first-line heavenly canyon, a large number of puppet troops began to give up resistance and flee one after another, and surrendered to Wu Ming's pursuing troops.
So, in the end, there were many puppet soldiers who became prisoners of the Dragon's Tooth Column.
After completely losing contact with Zhang Haipeng's troops, the 50,000-day puppet army that was blocked outside the canyon stopped its senseless attack, retreated for several miles, and stopped temporarily.
…………
On the side of Dingzhou, Qiao Youhua and the soldiers spent last night safely, and after entering today's daytime, the attack of the 1st Division and the puppet army began as promised.
The defending troops of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment fought desperately and fought bloody battles with the enemy, and at every moment, someone died.
Qiao Youhua was supervising the battle at the head of the city, and a signal soldier rushed to the city wall and reported to him excitedly: "Commander, great victory, great victory on the eastern front!" ”
