Chapter 179: Human Bomb
At around ten fifty, with Ouyang Yun's order, the attack of the Ninth Division began.
Previously, Qian Guangming had some doubts, and he said to Ouyang Yun: "Commander-in-chief, the snow is too big, and the visibility is only about five or six meters, do you want to wait for the snow to be lighter before attacking." If the visibility is too low, it can be conducive to the little devil fishing in troubled waters. ”
Ouyang Yun waved his hand and said, "I can't wait, the weather suddenly turns cold, and the water will definitely freeze." If we wait for Okamura Ninji to come over with the main force of the 11th Army, then even if we can completely annihilate the 33rd Division, this price will definitely not be small. ”
Three regiments of tank troops, three regiments of armored vehicle units, and seven regiments (including four regiments directly under Ouyang Yun) spread out on a 3,000-meter-wide front and surrounded the hill occupied by the Japanese along the ten lanes carved out by the "wolf's head."
The hill occupied by the 33rd Division has a special topography, facing the Lion Gate to the northeast, a ravine to the north, and a cliff to the east. Gan Jian chose this place as the forward position for attacking Lion Gate, originally because it was the highest ground relative to Lion Gate, which could effectively prevent the counterattack of the defenders of Lion Gate, but now after being counter-surrounded, it has lost the possibility of breaking through from the north and east.
The battle began at 11:05 a.m., when the Japanese forward troops, a brigade of devils, met a "mandrill" heavy tank in a low-lying area in the south, the devil at the head took the lead in shooting, and the next second, the machine gun on the "mandrill" rang out, and then, as many as six tanks and armored vehicles behind the mandrill rushed out at an accelerated pace and ran over the devil in a fan-shape. On the tracks crushed by tanks and armored vehicles, about a regiment of cadets followed in companies, shouting the slogan "Capture Gan Jutaro alive, destroy the 33rd Division" and move the offensive line forward in an orderly manner.
In order to prevent the occurrence of accidentally shooting his own people because of the moderate inferiority, Ouyang Yun came up with a brilliant countermeasure, he took tanks and armored vehicles as the lead, and then let the infantry follow closely behind the tanks in a company, and set up an offensive line one by one. Every few meters that the chariot unit advanced, a company of cadets ran up and then lay down on the spot to provide flank cover for the chariot and prevent the devils from adopting special attack tactics. And then the next ......
The Xuejiu Division walked in the southernmost offensive group, and the commander was Yang Jianfeng, the commander of the 317 Tank Regiment. Yang Jianfeng didn't realize that his side was the direction of the devil's breakthrough at first. He commanded the troops to advance steadily, and the wolf fangs who were leading the way in front suddenly found the devils, and after guiding the chariot to kill dozens of devils in front of him, he was about to order the front to move forward, when suddenly the roar of Fu Liang, the commander of an armored car running in the southernmost and advancing almost against the cliff: "Brothers, pay attention, the devil army-" The next moment, his roar was interrupted by a violent explosion.
He was shocked in his heart, and pressed the message and shouted: "Pay attention to the 00 road, the direction is right, gather, gather!" He shouted endlessly, and the driver of the car received the order to hit the tank to the right hand, and then soon spotted a large group of Japanese troops.
The Japanese army rushed to the front, except for the vanguard brigade, which was Kentaro Watanabe's special attack team. And Fu Liang's armored car was blown up when a devil of the special attack team found an opportunity to pounce on it. Yang Jianfeng saw the firelight outside through the peephole, and his left hand immediately quickly screwed the call channel to the main channel, and then shouted: "00 report, a large number of enemy troops have been found in front of our department, and we suspect that the Japanese army intends to break through from here." 00 Report ......"
When Yang Jianfeng's guns rang out, Ouyang Yun, who was standing in the center of the turret of a "Mandrill" tank, heard it, and he gave orders to the commanders of 01 and 02 at that time, asking them to lean on immediately. At this moment, when he heard Yang Jianfeng's report, he immediately made a decision and ordered that except for 08 and 09 on the far left, they would continue to advance along the established route, and the other roads would implement the second set of combat plans, that is, take 00 Road as the center of the circle and encircle it in echelons.
The weather was too bad, which increased the difficulty of the battle, and the reason why Ouyang Yun had the confidence to fight this battle was because of the advanced wireless communication system of the Cadet Army. The bad weather also had a huge impact on the Japanese army, and when Gan Shigetaro made the order to break through the chaos, he didn't feel it, and when he led his troops to touch the high ground where the headquarters was located, he realized that although they had a certain chance of taking advantage of the chaos to break through, they might also be surrounded by the Cadet Corps, and thus be brutally crushed to death - the visibility was too low, so that the troops behind did not dare to shoot indiscriminately. Because no one can guarantee that they will be enemies in front of them. Gan Qi didn't know how the Dao Xue Army dealt with this problem, and his way to deal with it was to keep the troops tightly together to ensure that they could always be unanimous in their guns.
When the forward troops commanded by Watanabe began to exchange fire with the 00 road students commanded by Yang Jianfeng, Gan Yu shouted loudly: "Keep up, keep up, listen to my orders, and prepare to charge!" ”
Gan Xi thought that his opponent was still the student army in the morning, and according to his observation, the other party still had about 6,000 people at most, and among them, because the artillery that posed the greatest threat to them could not participate in the battle at all, and the chariot troops suffered huge losses, there was not much left, so as long as a breakthrough was formed in which direction, then next, the world was wide and I could roam, and the student army would never want to trap him again.
The gunfire from the front grew more and more intense. Under the strict orders of Kentaro Watanabe, the remnants of the 500-odd 33rd Cavalry Wing rushed to the chariots in front of them with cluster grenades, explosive packs, and Molotov cocktails in their arms, while the devils of the brigade that were originally in front of them gave way to the front road under the command of a young man named Hanamu Youren, rushed to the left, and began to build defensive positions, trying to block the student army that rushed from the west and southwest directions.
These 1,500 people are Ganxi's outcasts, their task is to open a passage and attract the firepower of the cadet army, if Ouyang Yun did not make a decision immediately and immediately transferred several other apprentices, then Ganxi's breakthrough plan really has hope of success.
In the "booming" explosion, one "Mandrill" heavy tank, one Jiguang heavy armored vehicle, and two platypus were blown up on each of the 00 routes. Yang Jianfeng reacted very quickly, seeing that the Japanese army was menacing, he decisively ordered the other tanks to retreat, and ordered the follow-up infantry to fill in the first line, and then, stunned, used intensive firepower to crush the special attack tactics of the Watanabe Wing.
The more than 500 human bombs of the Watanabe Wing, except for the more than 30 people who played a role at the beginning, there was no chance for the later ones to play. After the firepower of Route 00 suddenly became fierce, the "special attack" of the Watanabe Wing's human bomb completely turned into suicide. Hundreds of Weiqing-style guns of various types and dozens of disease-type general-purpose machine guns cross-fired, but the devils who rushed into the firing range were immediately ignited like cannonballs. More than 100 people were blown up in a row, and the remaining human flesh bombs were finally timid. Watanabe also knew that it was futile for him to continue the charge, so he ordered to lie down on the spot, wanting to wait for the large army to come and let the large army help him open a gap.
However, he could not have this opportunity again.
