Chapter 148: The Last Coordinates

Bang! The news of the defeat of the 342nd regiment reached the headquarters, and Zheng Weiguo was so angry that he dropped the cup. Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly persuaded: "Master, you extinguish the fire!" The national army has always been like this, friendly troops are in trouble, and they are not moving like mountains; As soon as the guns rang out, he fled. There are so many people in this world who don't have backbones, and you can't be angry with this kind of person! ”

Zheng Weiguo said bitterly: "I'm angry that I actually believe this dog thief." If I hadn't ordered the 342nd Regiment to reinforce the Third Army, Battalion Commander Kong would not have died, and the 342nd Regiment would not have suffered such heavy losses! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Division, Tomamidi is now biting the 342nd Regiment like a mad dog, should we transfer the 341st Regiment over for reinforcements?" ”

After taking a few deep breaths, Zheng Weiguo tried to calm himself down and said, "No need, the 342nd Regiment is not so easy to collapse!" I have already ordered Director Xiong to command the troops in the direction of Changle Village in a unified manner, as long as Kashiwazaki and Kudo are beaten to the point of crying father and mother, I am not afraid that Tomamichi will not rush to reinforcements! ”

From 7 o'clock in the morning to the present, the Kashiwazaki Wing has been completely disabled, and the only formed force is only two squadrons left, which are trapped in Changle Village. The brigade brought by the Captain of the Gongteng Wing was also half-crippled under the attack of the 33rd Division and the 129th Division, and now it can only hide in the three adjacent small villages of Qingcaozhuang, Hujiazhuang, and Weijiazhuang to survive. The village of Liyuyuan, which was originally the headquarters, also became the position of the 3rd Battalion of the 331st Regiment.

After Director Xiong led the 332nd Regiment and some artillery to arrive, he quickly divided and surrounded these villages. Among them, the 129th Division surrounded Changle Village and Qingcaozhuang, while Hujiazhuang and Weijiazhuang were surrounded by the 331st and 332nd Regiments respectively. The Japanese army is now trapped and fighting, and they are very tenacious, and they will carry two grenades to you at every turn. The regiments attacked several times in a row but did not come down, and they lost a lot of troops.

After receiving the order from the division headquarters, Director Xiong looked at Weijiazhuang coldly and said, "Inform me to go down and change the incendiary bomb!" ”

A deputy head of the Eighth Route who came to contact him said in surprise: "You want to set fire to the village? ”

Director Xiong nodded and said, "Well, there is news from the division headquarters that Japanese reinforcements are attacking the 342nd Regiment behind our palace, and the situation is very critical. I can't let the soldiers make any more senseless sacrifices, setting fire to the village is the easiest and most effective way! ”

The deputy head of the Eighth Road said in embarrassment: "Director Xiong, this is not good!" If the houses in the village are burned, how can we explain to the villagers? If you don't surround it first, I'll send a battalion to fight!" ”

Li Dazhuang was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said, "What are you talking about?" Fighting devils, our 332nd regiment has never been cowardly! ”

Director Xiong waved his hand and said, "We're not afraid of death!" It's just that the house is gone, and the lives of the soldiers are lost but they can't be bought. As for the property losses of the villagers, our original price, no, the increase in compensation is enough! Speaking of this, the deputy head of the Eighth Road had no choice but to agree.

The infantry artillery squad attached to the 332nd Regiment was quickly replaced with incendiary grenades, and the grenadiers loaded a special grenade. The shells of the infantry guns were captured, and the incendiary shells of the grenadiers were made by the arsenal, which were colloidal gasoline bombs made of rubber and gasoline, and had excellent combustion performance.

The ministries quickly prepared to fire incendiary bombs, and when they were given the order, they set fire to the village. Li Dazhuang hurriedly said: "Director Xiong, I'll give the order!" ”

Director Xiong knew his temper and said with a smile: "It's up to Commander Li to give the order!" ”

Li Dazhuang raised the order flag in a similar manner and said loudly: "The village in front of the target, the ruler, how much is the ruler?" Forget it, you can do it yourself! Fire, fire! ”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...... Grenades and shells quickly smashed into the village. At this time, the houses were all civil structures, and many were even grass huts, and the spacing between the houses was small, so it was easy to get on fire. And once the fire goes off, it burns a large piece.

It took only one wave of incendiary bombs to fire, and the village was already a sea of fire. The incendiary shells fired by the infantry guns are okay, but they are generated by the thermite reaction to create high temperatures, and as long as they do not hit the combustible objects, there is not much of a threat. Truly lethal were incendiary grenades fired from grenade canisters, which contained large quantities of gelatinous gasoline. Once on the ground, these lard-like things splash all over the place, and then stick to the object and burn violently.

Many unlucky Japanese soldiers also had a lot on them, and the fire burst into flames. They hurriedly beat with their hands, but the fire grew bigger and bigger, and the flapping hands quickly caught fire. Some soldiers rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire, but instead ended up with fire all over their bodies.

"Yamamoto-kun, save me!" One soldier had become a burning man, screaming in pain. Due to the excruciating pain, the voice no longer resembles the human voice.

Yamamoto hurried to help him put out the fire, but it was useless, no matter how much he swatted, he couldn't extinguish it. The fire man was cramping in pain, throwing the "lard ointment" on his body everywhere. There was some splashing on the mountain itself, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but the thing quickly burned and couldn't be extinguished. Yamamoto hurriedly went to slap and soon became the next burning man......

A staff officer rushed into the war room in a panic and said in horror: "Your Excellency Nakasa, the people in China are firing Molotov cocktails, and the village is already in flames!" Many soldiers were burned alive, and the village could no longer be held! ”

Kudo scolded angrily, "Yaga, I don't want to hear anything like that I can't hold anymore!" ”

The staff officer was startled and hurriedly said, "Haiyi! But ......"

"No, but!" Kudo rudely interrupted him and said, "Your Excellency Tomamichi's reinforcements have arrived in Panlong Town, we must stay here and die here!" ”

The staff officer said with a sad face: "Kudo-kun! ”

Kudo's face suddenly turned pale and said, "You, don't say anything, I already know the way!" Before the war, I was joking with my colleagues, guessing who would become a god first (the Japanese army called the war death a god), but I didn't expect that I would be at the forefront. ”

He then ordered the transfer of command to Kashiwazaki Nakasa, and sent Tomaji a farewell message, then drew his saber and said with a hideous face: "Warriors of the Empire, let us shed the last drop of blood for His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

The remaining Japanese soldiers shouted "onboard" and followed Kudo into a desperate charge outside the village. The machine gunners of the 332nd regiment coldly pulled the trigger, and the Czech ZB-37 heavy machine guns kept swallowing metal bullet chains, and the vengeful bullets blew through the Japanese positions like autumn wind......

Seeing that the 332nd Regiment successfully cleared the Japanese army in Weijiazhuang, the 331st Regiment also did the same and began to use fire attacks on Hujiazhuang. The 129th Division saw that the fire attack was indeed effective, and it also quickly changed its concept. Division Commander Liu said: "The lives of the soldiers are precious, and we can't just kill one more person!" (Note: The original words of history, from the battle of Changle Village)

Political Commissar Deng also agreed, saying: "Division Commander Liu is right, the soldiers can't be sacrificed in vain!" When this battle is over, we will help the villagers rebuild the house with our own hands! ”

In the northeast of Panlong Town, Tomi crumpled a telegram into a ball and said hatefully: "Order all units to immediately disengage from the enemy!" ”

The staff officer hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, if we do not completely defeat this enemy army, our rear will not be able to be guaranteed!" ”

Tomami sighed and said, "There's no time, Gong Tengjun just sent me a farewell message!" We need to rescue the remaining warriors of Changle Village! "Even if he can completely annihilate the 342nd Regiment, if he loses three brigades, it will be enough for him to go to a military court, and then it will be preferential treatment for disembowelment.

The staff officer was taken aback and said, "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the situation in the direction of Changle Village is so serious!" I recommend immediately requesting tactical guidance from the Army Aviation! ”

Tomamidi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's useless, I've already consulted His Excellency the division commander." The army aviation said that because our department had not made an appointment in advance as required, there were no idle planes and sufficient fuel for the time being. For now, we can only rely on our own efforts! "Note: If the Japanese Army needs the cooperation of the Army Aviation, it needs to ask for instructions at all levels, and it needs to be booked in advance.

The staff officer said worriedly: "Your Excellency, the strength of the Chinese army must be very small if it can surround a wing of our army. With our current strength, we may not be able to succeed! ”

Tommy said: "We have eight field cannons, which is an advantage that the people of China do not have!" I'm sure these big guys will bring us a victory! Martial arts for a long time! ”

The staff officer was also busy saying: "Haiyi, the martial arts have been long, I wish Your Excellency to make new contributions!" ”

Carambola Bay Village, 33rd Division Headquarters. Chief of Staff Zhou took the telegram and said happily: "Division, Commander Qi said that the troops have withdrawn, and there have been more than 300 casualties, but they have also killed more than 200 devils, which is not a loss." It's just that Tomamidi's next step may be to kill along the main road, and we have to be ready! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if Tomamidi comes, his basic strength is only a brigade, and he can't afford to make big waves!" The only trouble is the eight field guns, which have to be dealt with carefully by the artillerymen! ”

There is a high hill next to the road leading to Changle Village in Liao County, called the top of Jianshan Mountain. A platoon of the 342nd Regiment was monitoring the movements of Japanese artillery. Soon, two squadrons of Japanese field artillery withdrew from their original positions and then quickly advanced along the road. Each cannon was led by six horses (in a row of two horses), and the line was long and long.

A soldier in charge of observing the data calculated the position of the Japanese field artillery squadron and said to the platoon commander: "Report, the devil's field artillery squadron has entered the range of our army's field artillery." ”

The platoon leader was overjoyed and said, "Well, I can finally avenge the brothers." Hurry up and bring the radio station, I want to report to the division headquarters! ”

Director Guo was overjoyed when he got the data and hurriedly prepared the artillery. However, at present, the enemy is too far apart, and the only thing that can be used is two 38 field guns. Due to the more advanced gun mounts, this kind of artillery has a much longer firing range than ordinary Type 38 field guns.

In order to destroy them in one fell swoop outside the range of the Japanese artillery, Director Guo personally adjusted the shooting Zhu Yuan, and only opened fire after repeated confirmation. The Japanese army did not know that the 33rd Division of Ludao had such a weapon of mass destruction, and they were still marching with swagger.

Rumble! A loud bang was heard, and a large crater was blown up on the road. Although it missed the target, the Japanese field artillery squadron on the march was startled and hurriedly dodged in all directions.

On the top of the mountain, the platoon commander slammed his fist on the ground in annoyance and said, "Oh, it's a pity, it's only a little off!" Xiao Meng, hurry, hurry, re-test the data and report it back. ”

According to the corrected data of the impact point, it was much more accurate, and Director Guo fired eight shells in a row, destroying two Japanese field guns on the spot, and the remaining six took the opportunity to scatter and flee. However, there is an observation post at the top of Jianshan, and these field cannons are hidden everywhere in vain.

After the Japanese army was driven to destroy four guns in a row, they finally realized that there was an observation post of the Chinese army nearby, and then quickly sent a reinforced team to the top of Jianshan.

The observation post quickly spotted the enemy and hurriedly said: "Platoon commander, it's not good, the devil is coming!" ”

The platoon commander saw that there were still four field guns that could not be destroyed, and hurriedly said: "Brothers in the first squad, protect the radio and artillery observers." Class 2, Class 3, follow me! ”

Under the leadership of the platoon commander, the soldiers fought to the death against the Japanese troops who rushed up. At the top of the mountain, observers were constantly giving directions to the artillerymen. Since the 33rd Division had only two field guns and its rate of fire was slow, it took a long time to get rid of the last four cannons.

The observer, Xiao Meng, took off the radio headset and found that there was only one wounded man left in the platoon guarding him, the squad leader who was responsible for protecting him. Dozens of brothers, including the platoon commander, have all been killed.

The squad leader was seriously injured and couldn't see anything with his eyes, so he said anxiously: "Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng, is the bombing finished?" ”

Xiao Meng's tears flowed down his cheeks and said, "Squad leader, it's all blown up!" ”

The squad leader said, "Good, good! Finally the mission is complete! He also said: "Xiao Meng, the devil is coming soon, you don't care about me, run, run!" "In fact, by this time they were already surrounded by Japanese troops. Rows of Japanese soldiers with bright bayonets.

Xiao Meng was stunned, and reported the last set of data through the transmitter - this is the azimuth coordinates of the top of the Jianshan Mountain.
