Chapter Twenty-Four: The Battle of Xiaowokan

Artillery is a branch of the armed forces with high professional requirements, and without a period of training and a certain amount of ammunition loss, there is no way to form combat effectiveness. However, there was no problem in responding to emergencies in the event of a temporary emergency with several field artillerymen of the Second Regiment.

The Panasonic Wing has been frightened, and its loose formation at both ends and tight in the middle has greatly improved the utilization rate of artillery to a certain extent. Due to the limitation of firing range, the artillery is far from close, and if the Japanese army has maintained a relatively average formation, then even if the Yeluzi artillery under Lin Xiaoyu can use the artillery safely, the number of shots will be limited. Now in this situation, this is their chance. There were relatively few devils in the front, and they could not form an effective threat to the sniper positions of the second regiment, so the Yeluzi artillery had time to fire a few more shots, so as to beat the devils in the middle section fiercely. Its dense formation is equivalent to raising the level of these field artillery.

The firing time needs to be precisely controlled, considering the level of these field artillery, in this way, the most appropriate time to fire the cannon can give the devil the greatest damage. In order to be able to defeat the devils in the first round of artillery fire, two cadets were ambushed at the position of the firing Zhuyuan that had been determined, and they would signal the artillerymen by detonating the buried Larley.

The retreat of the Japanese army was orderly, and under the long-term pursuit, except for the devils in the middle part, the sequence was maintained, and the two ranks in the front and back, the establishment of the little devils was completely disrupted. Especially in the back, there are devils who are put down by the pursuing students from time to time, and Suki Kaichiro, who is worried that the large army will be bitten, has to leave a squadron or a small group of devils from the center to block the speed of the pursuit of the school soldiers, which makes the formation of the Japanese army even more chaotic. Matsushita Kihide relied on the armored car and fled in the first array, and Kaichiro Suki had no choice but to take the baton and begin to coordinate the retreat sequence of the various troops. And because Panasonic took the lead in running, the devils of the Panasonic United didn't know how many enemies there were, so they had no fighting spirit, and all they wanted now was to have two more legs so that they could run faster. As for their previous ambitions, they are now joked that no one mentions them.

Xu Mingtai and Xiao Yu were lying in the bushes on a hillside, and they stared closely at the mountain road a few hundred meters away, where lights had already appeared, and the roar of the motor was also heard. Xu Mingtai gently touched Xiao Yu with his right hand, and said softly: "It should be a devil!" Xiao Yu nodded, he touched the cable in front of him with his hand, and he was a little nervous in his heart.

The armored car was the command vehicle of Matsushita Muxiu, after it appeared, the sparse devil deserters appeared one after another, when the armored car drove on the mines laid by Xu Mingtai and Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu asked: "Do you want to ring it now?" ”

Xu Mingtai said: "No, wait and see, see what the situation is." ”

Xu Mingtai's choice was correct, and a quarter of an hour later, after about 1,000 devils walked over in twos and threes, a large Japanese army appeared. The three teams of devils drove over under the supervision of several trucks and armored vehicles, the front was orderly, and the back looked a little panicked.

Xu Mingtai said softly: "This is the moment!" Then he pulled the cable. Xiao Yu followed closely, and in an instant, a fire suddenly rose on the mountain road more than 100 meters away from them, and immediately, the rumbling explosion reached their ears. In a terrible howl, the devils walking near the two explosion points were blown into the sky, and more people were shot by shrapnel, and they fell to the ground in pain.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Lie down! "The little devil cup bow snake shadow has been scared, this night, the ambush of the student army has not stopped from beginning to end, so, even if it is just two lonely explosions, it still startles the little devil something, many people shouted, and then a piece of devils fell to the ground, and began to shoot aimlessly on both sides of the mountain road.

Naturally, no one responded to this gunshot, and Xu Mingtai and Xiao Yu had already evacuated at this time. And almost at the same time as they walked down the hillside, in the southeast direction, the rumbling ** sound came, and those devils lying on the ground heard the terrifying sound that symbolized the arrival of death, and their faces were as earth-colored as a dozen shells flew into the crowd of devils like eyes, one of which hit the compartment of a truck, and when they boarded, the truck and more than 30 devils above were all sent to the sky on a plane. In total, the Japanese did not drive back a few trucks, so each truck was overcrowded. Originally, it could only hold a dozen to twenty people, but now it is loaded with more than 30 people, so that once it is directly hit by a shell, its losses will be great.

This round of artillery attacks came so strangely, what made Suki Kaichiro very puzzling was that its accuracy was so high, which made him start to doubt: What happened to the Panasonic United today was indeed falling into the calculations of the Chinese people, who set up an ambush step by step, not only to break through the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, but also to eat the Panasonic United team.

The shells continued to fall, and when the three rounds of shelling had passed, what had made Kaichiro Suki worry the most happened, and the sound of gunfire was heard in front of him, and the last of the Shina people appeared. No, this may be the unit that they seized our artillery, Suki Kaichiro suddenly thought of this, and the remorse in his heart, the heart of seppuku. If he had thought of this earlier, he would definitely not have chosen the current retreat route. Now, now that this route has been taken, it is too late to say anything.

"Chief of Staff, it's our artillery!" A group leader approached him with a dud, and the text printed on the shell made it clear that it was indeed their own shell.

Suki Kaichiro's face was gloomy, and he looked behind him, where the most sudden Shina army had already been killed. Although there were not many people in the fastest chasing army, the imperial army, which had already lost its courage, did not have the courage to fight a decisive battle with it at all. Often, the opponent can break through the blocking line by organizing two charges. The enemy in front, both in quantity and quality, should be higher than the enemy behind, and if you don't want to change your moves, then the more than 5,000 people of the Panasonic Wing may all be explained here. Kaichiro Suki struggled in his heart, and finally waved his hand at the captain and said, "Pass my order, and the teams will break through freely." ”

"Chief of Staff? And what about the co-captain? "This captain is loyal to Matsushita Kihide. Of course, considering that the Japanese army likes to engage in joint sitting, once the commander is killed or captured, everyone below will be held accountable, and he may have no choice but to do so.

"Regardless of him, he is running at the front, he should have broken through!" Suki Kaichiro said this, but there was a look of contempt on his face - Matsushita Kihide never thought that his retreat had been sealed, so he would run at the front with an armored car. The people of Shina are not stupid, and when they see those in armored cars, they don't rush up, our Wing Commander, Your Excellency, must have gone to see Amaterasu at this moment!

It's really bad for Kaichiro Suki to have such thoughts at this time. And just as it seemed to him in order to prove it, just as the captain began to convey the independent breakthrough, there was a cheer from the sniper position of the Cadet Army in front: "Matsushita Muxiu was caught by us!" "Little devil, surrender your guns and don't kill, your wing captain has been caught by us!" ……

Kaichiro Suki's face changed, thinking that it was one thing, but when it really happened, he still couldn't bear the consequences of this change. The arrest of the commander had too great an impact on the morale of the troops. He could clearly feel that the gunfire in the headquarters, which was still relatively dense, suddenly paused, and then, when the gunfire rang out again, the effect was much worse.

"If you want your wing captain to live, put down your gun quickly! It's you, what? Do you want to kill your Wing Captain? Several students pressed Matsushita Muxiu, shone the headlights of a truck at him, and yelled at the devils who were still resisting not far away.

Kaichiro Suki, who originally wanted to say that it was a rumor, obediently closed his mouth.

The officers and soldiers of the third regiment, the fourth regiment and the first regiment appeared on the battlefield one after another, Zhang Yishu and Xie Changan were about to take the people of the regiment to the left and right sides to block the position, but Zhang Zhengyong stopped them: "Don't block them, give them a way to escape, otherwise, our people will have heavy casualties." Afraid that the two subordinates would not understand, he explained: "The combat power of these devils is not weak, and the reason why this situation occurs is that we have lost our momentum." Once they find that the retreat is completely cut off, it will be a desperate fight. Brothers, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, our people are not as good as little devils. Therefore, in order to avoid excessive casualties, and for the sake of our future battles, let's take it when we see it. This battle can be fought like this, and we have already made a lot of money! ”

Facts have proved that Zhang Zhengyong's decision was correct. After about 3,000 devils successfully broke through, the remaining 500 devils were wrapped in dumplings. And it was these more than 500 devils who taught the officers and men of the 101st Division a painful lesson.

Crazy little devils are terrible. The 101st Division's automatic weapons were limited, and they were unable to form a one-sided firepower advantage in the face of the devils who launched a decisive charge, and as a result, more than 400 soldiers fell on the way to snipe these devils. Among them, many soldiers were killed by the bombs on their bodies that looked like they were dying.

The encirclement and annihilation battle that followed was heroic and painful, and many local Taiwanese soldiers who went through this battle left tears afterwards. The cruelty of war was far beyond their expectations, and it was only at this moment that they understood what a worthy soldier would have to do in war. When many devils pulled the fuses of the explosives bags on their bodies and rushed towards them frantically, it was those veterans who stepped forward, they hugged the devils and pressed them under them, and the result was wiped out with a loud "boom......

The first battle of "Xiaowokan" allowed the 101st Division to grow rapidly, and since this war, the Japanese no longer dare to despise the Taiwan Army. They began to gather more superior forces and march to the island of Taiwan, and in this situation, the fighting of the Taiwan Corps became more and more difficult.
