Chapter 170: The Decisive Battle and the Down
"Brigade commander, look, the little devil's mountain artillery position has been ended!"
"Report to the brigade commander, a fire suddenly broke out in the rear of the Japanese army!"
"Report, there is confusion in the Japanese positions, and there is a noticeable sound of gunfire coming from the rear!"
……
"Report! The brigade commander, the 33rd Division, said that it had rushed to the side of the Japanese army and was preparing to attack! ”
Brigadier Chen put down the goggles, smiled and said, "Needless to say, I also know the way!" Comrades, friendly troops have arrived, ready to ......"
Boom Boom Boom ...... He wanted to order a full-scale attack, but he didn't expect that halfway through his words, his voice was muffled by the sound of dense artillery fire. Everyone looked at the Japanese positions across the river in amazement, and for the first time saw what a saturation attack was.
The dense shells flew forward almost close to the ground, crashing straight into the Japanese positions on the river beach, piercing all the men and fortifications along the way, until they hit the pebbles on the river beach and exploded violently. The position was quickly blown up in a blood mist, and there were several obvious blood grooves, and the severed limbs and flesh even flew across the river......
The combat staff officer looked across the river and said with palpitations: "Brigade commander, are we still going to attack?" ”
Brigade Commander Chen looked at the opposite side with some envy, and said depressedly: "Zheng Huzi's artillery fire is so dense, how can we attack?" I want to die with the little devil! You immediately contact the troops of the 33rd Division on the opposite side and ask them to free up a few lanes for us to charge! ”
The staff officer was embarrassed and said: "Brigade commander, this can't be contacted!" Our password is different, and the radio can only contact their division headquarters! Besides, we don't know which unit of the 33rd Division is on the other side. ”
Grand Brigadier Chen knocked him on the head. He said, "Wooden fish head! What a stupid trumpet! "The Eighth Route Army's trumpet communication ability is very strong, and it is said that there are more than 100 kinds of trumpet sounds, which can be combined to express very complex information.
The staff officer shrank his head, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Brigade commander, you don't know what to do, the flag soldiers of the 33rd Division are mainly playing flag language, and the division trumpeters can only sound a few horns, and they are not quite the same as ours. Besides, now the artillery is so loud. The trumpeter may not be able to hear it clearly! ”
Brigadier Chen was helpless. I had to wave my hand and say, "Okay, okay, then you immediately contact Zheng Huzi and ask them to give us half of the devil." You can't let thousands of us people look stupidly here, right? ”
It didn't take long. The staff officer ran back dejectedly. Said: "Brigadier." Zheng Huzi said that the front line was a nest of porridge, and he couldn't help it. Just let us help plug the gap! ”
Brigadier Chen threw away his hat in anger. said: "Okay, you Zheng beard, you are going to eat alone here!" I also gave you a few 90 cannons! Saying that, he said enviously: "Niang Xipi, it's good to have artillery, you can fight as much as you want!" ”
The operational staff officer also looked across the river with resentful eyes, and couldn't help but say: "Brigade commander, we also have to find a way to form an artillery unit directly under the brigade!" Otherwise, in the future, you will only have to help others. ”
Brigadier Chen nodded again and again and said, "Well, it makes sense, it makes sense!" When we go back, we'll go and grind with the teacher. I know the temper of the division commander, just grind a few more times! Ha Lu Ha ......"
Boom Boom Boom ...... The shelling of the 33rd Division continued. The Japanese army was exposed on the empty river beach and could only be slaughtered. Attempts by the aircraft to fight back were also repelled by air defenses. Of course, suicide attacks are possible, but the problem is that the pilots are not so stupid, and the kamikaze drones are still early!
However, the Japanese army's will to fight was indeed very tenacious. Although the position on the river beach had been bombarded to pieces, and the personnel were also killed and wounded, there were still many Japanese troops who did not give up. After paying a lot of casualties, a squadron leader finally miraculously managed to assemble hundreds of troops and escape artillery fire. The pilot saw some hope and flew to cover for him.
The squadron leader drew his command knife, pointed the blade forward, and howled: "Gentlemen, the time has come to serve the emperor, press a few to give!" ”
The soldiers followed with a shout: "Onboard! Then he picked up his rifle and rushed to the artillery positions of the 33rd Division.
On the position of the 33rd Division, an officer couldn't help but praise when he saw that the Japanese army could still launch a desperate charge at such a time: "This little devil is ferocious and cruel, and his will to fight is really strong!" ”
The commander of the cannon company next to him said disdainfully: "The momentum is good, but it's a pity that it's useless!" As he spoke, he gave an order: "Attention squads, shoot freely!" ”
Da Da Da ...... Just as the Japanese were approaching the position of the 33rd Division, the heavy machine guns suddenly opened fire. A dense wind of bullets blew through the Japanese stormtroop formation, and after a popping sound, more than 100 Japanese soldiers all fell in a pool of blood. Even the brave squadron leader had his legs broken and he had to fall to his knees. Probably unable to accept this reality, he suddenly screamed and stabbed half of his saber into his abdomen.
Ebi Mingei is a very cruel person who has never known how to respect life. But he couldn't help but be moved when he saw this tragic situation, and he took out a pistol on the spot and was about to commit suicide. The staff officer hurriedly rushed up and grabbed it, and shouted with a crying voice: "Your Excellency Dazuo, we still have hope, the Yamamoto brigade left behind in Xiyang is on the way to come!" ”
The 132nd Wing, like the 117th and 105th Wings that were annihilated in front, left a large group of men and horses in the rear, so this reinforcement came relatively early. Due to logistical constraints, it was impossible for other reinforcements to arrive for a while.
Hai Lao Mingrong sighed and said, "There is no hope, inform the Yamamoto Brigade of Lu Dao to withdraw from Xiyang as soon as possible to pacify, if it is too late, you will not be able to leave!" ”
The staff officer said in a panic: "Your Excellency Dazuo, there are no reinforcements, so what should we do?" ”
Ebi looked at the sky and said, "It's going to be dark soon!" Order all units to take squads as units, disperse and break through, and how many can run out of the gang is a few! ”
The staff officer hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, I am afraid that this will ruin your reputation for the rest of your life!" The Dispatch will also take the opportunity to put the blame for the defeat on you. ”
Hai Lao Mingrong smiled bitterly and said, "If the battle is like this, what other heroic name is there?" As for the responsibility for the defeat, it is the same for whoever bears it. It's just a pity that we can't see the moment when the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is established! ”
The staff officer argued, "But Your Excellency. This defeat is not your fault at all! If it weren't for Commander Kiyoshi Kazuki ordering Major General Tomachi to relieve the siege, how could our 132nd Wing end up like this? ”
Hai Lao Mingrong sighed, his old state was fully revealed, and he was very decadent. He waved his hand weakly and said, "Don't say this kind of thing in the future, and carry out the order!" ”
Because the command system has failed, the order to disperse and break out of the encirclement can only be delivered by the messengers, resulting in the various units receiving orders at different times, and some even not receiving orders. As a result, some troops were the first to break through, and some were still trying to counterattack. The troops who were on the counterattack saw that some of the troops actually ran first. The morale of the army is weakened. Suddenly collapsed.
Ebi Naei let out a long sigh and said, "Hey, it's all over!" As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a pistol and gave himself a blow to the head. The staff officer was a step late this time, not only failed to save Hai Lao Mingrong. Instead, he was splashed with blood and brains. The commander died. The Japanese army no longer had organized resistance.
Brigadier Chen has experienced a hundred battles. At a glance, he saw that something was wrong with the devil, and hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, the devil wants to run." Hurry up and let Zheng Huzi stop fighting, it's serious to be surrounded on all sides! ”
The 33rd Division's reaction was a little slower, but it also discovered the anomaly of the Japanese army. Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Division, look, the Japanese army seems to be dispersing and breaking through!" ”
Zheng Weiguo was a little unconvinced, because in his subconscious, the Japanese army fought to the death. He picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn, I really want to run!" When did the little devil become so tasteless? ”
As a result, the artillery immediately stopped shelling, and the infantry regiments began to assault centripetal in companies. Seeing that the general situation was gone, the Japanese planes had no choice but to throw out the shells and flash people. As soon as the Japanese aircraft withdrew, the remnants of the devils were even more unemboldened, and the troops fled along the banks of the small river to the mountains on both sides.
Brigade Chief Chen was overjoyed and said, "Inform the company to catch the prisoners and see which unit captures the most!" As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and planned to go into battle in person.
A signal soldier came panting and said: "Report to the brigade commander, the division commander called to ask about the battle situation, and said that if it goes well, let the 385 brigade open the opening, and then let the Japanese Yamamoto brigade in and eat it!" ”
The Yamamoto Brigade is the first brigade of the 132nd Wing, and the nine-way encirclement and suppression of the southeast of Jin did not follow the main force of the wing, but stayed in Pingding County, which was in the rear. Yesterday, he rushed to Xiyang from Pingding, ready to come for reinforcements.
Brigade Commander Chen hurriedly asked, "Where is the Yamamoto Brigade now?" ”
The signal corps said: "Blocked by the 769th Regiment in Gaojialing!" ”
Brigadier Chen looked at the map and found that Gaojialing was not far from Xiyang County. In other words, the Japanese army fought for most of the day, and they were still spinning around in place.
He slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, why is this old Chen so real?" is so fierce, once the devil finds out that the situation is wrong, he turns around and runs away! ”
In fact, it's no wonder that the commander of the 769 regiment, Chen, didn't know that the battle between Ludao and Shun County would go so smoothly, what if he rashly put the devil's reinforcements in and couldn't eat them all at once? So for the sake of safety, I stubbornly resisted the devil.
When the staff officer heard this, he hurriedly said: "Brigade commander, what can I do about this?" Why don't we draw a regiment over for reinforcements? ”
Brigadier Chen thought for a moment and said, "Ahem, forget it!" Let's let the division commander figure out a way. We're so far away, and when we run over, the daylily will be cold! ”
Xiyang, Shanxi, Gaojialing Village, 385 Brigade Position. Here, like Heshun County, the battle is also in full swing, and the attacking side is the first brigade of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese army, and the captain Kazuo Yamamoto. The defending side was the 385th Regiment of the 769th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the regiment commander was Chen Xilian.
"Give a few presses!" Kazuo Yamamoto pulled out his command knife and personally supervised the battle on the front line. They were also red-eyed, and their superiors kept urging them to send troops, and the battle situation on the front line became more and more unfavorable, but they were blocked by the 769 Regiment and could not advance an inch.
After a fierce battle for a while, the sound of gunfire gradually subsided. Regiment Commander Chen was about to call the front line to inquire about the battle situation. Ding zero, the phone of the regiment headquarters suddenly rang.
The guard picked up the phone and said a few words, hurriedly handed the microphone to Commander Chen, and said, "Commander, it's Battalion Commander Hu from the first battalion calling!" ”
Head Chen took the microphone and said, "Hey, I'm Chen Xilian!" What's going on there? If I can't stand it, I'll send the second battalion to reinforce it! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
