Chapter 32: The Battle of Prosperity and Defense

Honda saw through the binoculars that what the fuck was going on, and more than a dozen Imperial chariots were killed by a few Chinese dogs, which made Honda Osa extremely angry, but at the same time helpless.

Honda Dazuo understands that this will be the first tough battle of the Honda United since its departure, and just now he secretly analyzed that this branch of the army is indeed extraordinary, and the imperial army is inferior in weapons and equipment, at least in terms of automatic firepower. At the same time, the Chinese army occupied the advantageous terrain and was equipped with perfect fortifications, and it was not easy for the imperial army to take the position of the Chinese people in a short time.

But Shinichi Honda knows better what awaits him if his wing can't take the position of the Shina people and defeat the Shina army in front of him. His Excellency Tojo, who was carried away by his anger, would definitely send him to court-martial, Honda Daisa was sure.

The first attack of Sasaki's brigade failed due to the easy elimination of the tanks, and the 7th and 8th squadrons lost nearly 100 men but did not even touch the position of the Chinese army.

Sasaki Shaosa looked at the Chinese position not far away, then looked at the soldiers beside him, and ordered loudly: "The Great Japanese Empire is invincible, our purpose is to conquer the entire China, how can we be blocked by a small China position." Take out your samurai spirit, and the great Japanese empire will have a long military fortune! ”

After speaking, Sasaki took out his command knife, pointed at the position of the third battalion of the security regiment and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" ”

Stimulated by Sasaki in this way, the morale of the Japanese army was indeed boosted, and the soldiers of the two infantry squadrons rushed towards the position of the third battalion under the cover of the aircraft.

"Da Da Da"

"Boom Boom"

Machine guns were roaring, artillery was roaring, and although the Japanese planes were constantly circling in the sky, the Chinese army still fought to the death.

Seeing the corpses of the fallen Japanese soldiers in front of the position, Wang Hansheng was extremely excited, this is the first line of defense, although he can't count how many devils have been killed, but there should be at least four or five hundred. This result can be fully explained to the commander.

"Give Lao Tzu a hard beating!"

"Boom" An aerial bomb exploded not far from Wang Hansheng, and a heavy machine gun and the machine gunner and ammunition man next to it were all blown into the sky, and then a rain of blood was scattered.

"Grandma's, pay attention to air defense, the devil's iron rooster is not easy to deal with."

This time, the Japanese army was determined to take the position of the third battalion, and although the soldiers were killed one after another, the Japanese commander had no intention of retreating.

Of course, Wang Hansheng would not be polite to the dishes delivered to the door, and ordered the soldiers to fire at the Japanese army mercilessly.

But the number of Japanese troops was too much, in addition to the two infantry squadrons in front, there were two infantry squadrons of soldiers in the back, and Wang Hansheng also saw that more than 1,000 puppet cavalry were also ready to charge at any time.

"Battalion commander, the little devil is less than eighty meters away from our trench!" The commander of the first company, Xue Binhao, said loudly.

"Signal the positions on both flanks, prepare grenades, throw all the grenades out of the line in two minutes, and immediately withdraw to the second line of defense." Wang Hansheng ordered.

"Yes"

Seeing the Chinese position close at hand, Sasaki was extremely excited, there were still fifty meters, and for the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, as long as they entered this distance, it would not be a problem to take the position. Although more than half of his two infantry squadrons had suffered casualties in order to take this position, at least his small fate was saved.

Suddenly, a large number of iron bumps flew out of the Chinese position, and this iron bump Sasaki was the most familiar, this is the melon grenade made in the empire.

"Yaga, it's a grenade, lie down."

In just two minutes, at least more than 3,000 grenades fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and Sasaki's brigade was once again fiercely repulsed.

Sasaki Shaosa, who retreated to three hundred meters away, looked at the troops with less than 100 people around him, and his heart was cold, and there were only a few remnants of more than 440 people left in the two infantry squadrons.

Perhaps seeing Sasaki's despair, Second Lieutenant Nishiki, who was a fellow villager with Sasaki, said loudly: "Sir, our plane is coming soon, and we have reinforcements from two infantry squadrons behind us, we still have a chance!" ”

Like a gambler with red eyes who has lost a loss, Sasaki Shaosa stared at Ensign Nishiki and said, "Yo Xi, immediately regroup your formation and prepare to attack!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom" Five Japanese planes constantly circled and dived over the positions of the third battalion, and dozens of aerial bombs fell on the positions of the Chinese troops, and the entire position was enveloped in the flames of war.

Under the cover of the aircraft, Sasaki led the remaining more than 100 soldiers to launch a mortal charge to the position of the third battalion.

"Two hundred meters"

"One Hundred and Fifty Meters"

"One Hundred Meters"

The positions of the Chinese army were still very quiet, there was no sound at all, could it be that all the people of China were killed? All the Japanese soldiers had a faint expectation in their hearts.

"Fifty meters"

"Thirty meters"

With only thirty meters to go, Sasaki ordered the troops to immediately speed up.

The smoke cleared, and Sasaki's headquarters finally stepped on the position of the third battalion, but unfortunately it was already empty, and Sasaki did not even leave a single corpse except for bullet casings all over the ground.

Seeing that the Rising Sun Flag of the Great Japanese Empire was finally planted in the position of the Shina army, Honda Osa Long breathed a long sigh of relief, and he had been paying attention to the battle just now. To tell the truth, Sasaki's department showed great tenacity and brought the courage of the Great Japanese warriors into full play.

However, the performance of the Shina people was also beyond his expectations, and with the assistance of tanks and planes, Sasaki's troops paid a heavy three-quarters price to barely capture the positions of the Shina people, a result that shocked Honda Daisa.

"Report to the Wing Commander, the people of China have fled north, and Sasaki Shaosa asks for instructions on whether to pursue them."

"Order the Third Cavalry Division of the Imperial Association Army to pursue immediately, the people of China have lost their fighting spirit, let Li Sang and his cavalry division immediately rush forward, entangle the people of China, and must not let them escape." Honda Dazuo ordered.

"Hail"

The second line of defense of the third battalion was less than a kilometer away from the first, and by the time the cavalry division of the puppet Mongol army caught up, the third battalion had already entered the second line of defense.

Seeing the puppet cavalry that was not at all defenseless and getting closer and closer to the position, Wang Hansheng smiled coldly and said, "Prepare for battle!" ”

Dozens of light and heavy machine guns were loaded with ammunition and ready to fire at any time.

"Fire!" When the cavalry of the puppet army came into the effective range of the machine guns, Wang Hansheng gave the order to open fire.

Fighting with the cavalry, the security regiment is the most experienced, thinking that in order to deal with Yeherina's cavalry troops, the security regiment really put a lot of effort into it, looking at the puppet cavalry that is getting closer and closer, all the soldiers are not only afraid, but more secretly happy in their hearts.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da"

Dozens of tongues of fire opened fire at the same time, and the puppet army suddenly turned on their backs, killed, fell, and trampled to death one by one.

In just three minutes, more than 1,500 cavalry lost more than 300 men, and the rest were frightened and retreated beyond the effective range of the Chinese army.

Honda didn't expect that this Chinese army would be so tenacious, and it would be difficult to move to the reserve position so quickly after being defeated.

But no matter how difficult it is, he can only attack hard. In just four hours, his troops suffered more than 1,400 casualties, and Sasaki's brigade was almost completely wounded, while the opposing Shina army still had the strength to fight again, and he could not explain this result to His Excellency Hideki Tojo.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Honda Wing finally broke through the second line of defense of the third battalion of the security regiment, and the defenders were forced to move to the third line of defense.

At seven o'clock in the evening, after three consecutive group charges were repulsed, Shinichi Honda gave the order to stop the attack. Because the Japanese planes could not provide support to the troops at night, it was difficult for the infantry alone to capture the positions of the Chinese people.

The battle was finally over, and both the Japanese army and the security regiment were like two wounded beasts, hiding in the shadows and gently licking their wounds.

Stone Buddha Temple, temporary headquarters of the security regiment.

"Commander, the little devil has withdrawn."

"Grandma's, the dog day has finally withdrawn, hurry up and ask Wang Hansheng to withdraw the troops, and at the same time count the casualties of the troops." Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, the Japanese army's attack was really crazy, and it was actually organized 12 attacks in one day, if it weren't for the firepower of the troops being strong enough, it might not be able to hold on until now.

"Yes"

Soon, Li Wensheng came in and said: "Commander, Wang Hansheng sent someone to report, saying that their three battalions have all withdrawn from their positions, except for one platoon, the others have already withdrawn to Xuanjia Tower, should we also withdraw." ”

"It's time to withdraw, but before withdrawing, send a telegram to the special combat team, asking them not to retreat with the large army, but to stay near Tianzhen and move freely, and deal with Li Fuying's headquarters." Chen Feng ordered.

"What a shame!"

"Wang Hansheng didn't say anything about the casualties of the third battalion?" Chen Feng asked again.

"I didn't say it, but the situation is definitely not too optimistic, the attack of the little devils is too crazy, the front of the three lines of defense is full of corpses of the little devils, even with a casualty ratio of 2:1, the three battalions have lost at least five hundred people." Wang Hansheng said.

"It's not that exaggerated, the little devil was beaten and lost his mind, and launched twelve group charges in a row. The three battalions occupied favorable terrain and had so many automatic weapons, and the casualties caused by the infantry of the little devils to the three battalions were not large, even the bombing of the Japanese planes caused the three battalions to suffer a lot of losses, but it was absolutely impossible to reach 500 people. Chen Feng said.

"I hope so, even so, it is impossible for the third battalion to fight such a tough battle again in a short time. If we continue to fight like this, we will be crippled in a mess in three days at most, and the little devil does have two brushes. Li Wensheng said with emotion.

Chen Feng said with a smile: "How can you not die in a war, what is it to cripple a regiment in three days, and now the little devil is also doing it in Shanghai, I heard that the Central Army has to throw a brigade into it in one day, even if it is known as the elite of the Central Army, the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, it will be crippled in less than two days, and the 88th and 87th Divisions of the Central Army will also suffer heavy losses." And we encountered the Kwantung Army, which is known as the most powerful in the Japanese army, and it is already very good to be able to fight to this point. ”
