Chapter 32: Opportunity
(I've been getting too busy with work lately.) It's really busy, maybe it's time for a change of environment) "Bastard, what about those puppet armies anyway?" The leader of the commando team, a regiment commander named Wang Dayou, waved the big blade in his hand and roared, he looked at the ordinary people who were crying, vomiting and even spasming in the smoke of the tear gas, and his heart was like a fire.
"Tuanza, what should I do?" His personal guard Xue Cai was also selected for the commando, and Xue Cai was also very anxious, looking at the scene in front of him, he didn't know what to do.
"What should I do?" The same question also stumped Li Hansoul. Anyway, the puppet army did not appear as promised, which directly led to the people who were held hostage into an extremely dangerous situation. Although this move caught the Japanese by surprise, considering that it did not cause much substantial damage to them, and these poisoned civilians must be rescued, this clever move took their own army instead.
"It's important to save people, let's save people first!"
"But in this way, it will not be possible to use this trick in the future."
"No, didn't the Japanese retreat to both ends? This is our chance! I order, stop firing tear gas, the commando team is responsible for rescuing civilians, and the other participating troops will immediately attack Tongjia Town and Xiabu Township! ”
A surprise attack turned into a rescue exercise, which was beyond everyone's expectations, but fortunately, the Japanese gave up holding the people hostage, which also provided the possibility for the next war of annihilation.
"Your Excellency General, the people of China have attacked!" As soon as Yoshishige Mizuhara arrived at the front line, he heard the news.
He wore a gas mask, and under the light of the flares, he watched the smoke on the position dissipate, gritted his teeth, and said: "Then, let's teach the people of China a painful lesson, and let them know the power of the Dao Imperial Army!" ”
"Hello!"
"Da Da Da!" The guns of the heavy machine guns rang out, and a half-meter-long flame suddenly erupted from the window of a civilian house, and a platoon of officers and men had just rushed there, and more than a dozen of them were swept down by bullets when they boarded, and the others immediately fell to their stomachs.
Platoon commander Lu Denggao was shot in the left arm, and he let a soldier bandage his wound with a V-belt, while saying to a few soldiers lying nearby: "Little San, I'll cover me later, I knocked this fire point with a grenade." ”
Xiao San was the only sniper in the platoon who had passed the sniper certification, and nodded when he heard this.
Over their heads, a flare was slowly falling, the magnesium powder burning out, and the light fading. Lu Denggao suddenly shouted: "It's now!" A grenade was found in his right hand, and the man was already half-crouching.
Xiao San calmly aimed and shot, and a gunshot rang out, and there was a brief loss of sound when the firing point landed. Lu Denggao immediately rushed up, he rushed more than five meters away, and was about to drop a bomb, when suddenly a bullet hit his left chest, and he stumbled and almost fell. When the junior and others behind him saw it, several people shouted one after another: "Platoon commander, the two soldiers even stood up directly and rushed up to rescue him."
"Da Da Da!" Heavy machine gun gunfire rang out again, and Lu Denggordon was hit upside down in the air and hit the ground hard, and the two soldiers who went to save him were also knocked down by bullets, one of them was shot in the chest and abdomen, and died instantly.
The Japanese defense was very tight, there was hardly a single loophole, and the charges organized by the Cadet Corps were repulsed again and again.
After fighting for three hours, at more than two o'clock in the morning, the Second Army finally rescued the poisoned people after sacrificing more than 1,000 people.
In the three-hour battle, the Japanese army only suffered more than 300 casualties, which made Mizuhara Yoshishige feel more confident, and he felt that the student army was not so strong, at least in front of him, he could not please him. This made him full of confidence in the next perseverance, and he didn't want to coerce some people to come over.
Deng Longguang has been directing the rescue of those people on the front line, and at this time he returned to the temporary headquarters and asked Li Hansoul: "Old Li, what should I do next." The devil is very tenacious, and the losses are great! ”
Li Hansoul looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Just this opportunity, no matter how much you pay, you have to win it." My opinion is that we should try to take it before dawn, and as soon as it dawns, the change will be great. If the devils hold the people hostage again, then this battle will be even more difficult to fight, and the hard-won situation we have now will no longer exist. ”
The three brigades of the Japanese army in the Yingtan area were originally divided and surrounded in Jinxi, Dongxiang and Yingtan, but it was precisely because the cadet soldiers were afraid of hurting the common people that Suzuhara Yoshishige calmly dispatched the three brigades and concentrated them on the front line of Tongjia Town and Xiabu Township, thus constituting a solid defense line at present.
The Japanese must not be given this chance again, otherwise I don't know when this battle will be fought - Li Hansoul made up his mind in his heart.
Cai Guangbiao, the commander of the Sixth Division, had just come down from the front line, and he said: "The Japanese fortifications are very strong, and ordinary grenades and mortars are simply not enough to destroy. ”
"No, it's too close to the settlement, there are still tens of thousands of people in Tongjia Town and Xiabu Township, we can't let these innocent people be harmed."
"Then what to do, relying on the infantry attack alone, this loss-" Chen Hongyuan, the chief of staff of the Sixth Division, said, frowning.
"Let's use tanks! The tank carried more commando fighters and crushed the enemy's fortifications with tanks! ”
The infantry brothers fought in full swing, which made the brothers of the tank unit very hot-eyed. In the direction of Yingtan, the Xuebing Army has a total of one and a half divisions, of which all the Sixth Division and one part of the Fifth Army are Xuebing, and there is a total of one regiment and one battalion of tank troops. There was no tank unit in tonight's night raid, and Wang Lan, commander of the tank battalion under the 16th Brigade, was interested in getting ready to go to bed after watching it for a while. And when he was driving a tank in his sleep, frantically chasing the devils all over the mountains, Chang Zhiguo, the battalion's communications staff officer, rushed into the tent and pulled him out of the blanket: "Battalion, good news, the military headquarters has let us go into battle!" ”
"Really?"
"Really, just got a call."
"Oh, okay, quick, assemble!"
Ten minutes later, the four tank battalions were assembled and began to rumble into battle.
In order to mask the sound of the tank's engine and delay the detection of the devil as much as possible, Li Hansoul issued a new round of attack orders. As a result, dense gunfire rang out everywhere on the positions.
In a bunker in Xiabu Township, Mizuhara Yoshishige, who had just closed his eyes and was about to take a nap, was awakened by the sound of dense gunfire, he sat up and looked at the time first, and found that it was only about half past three in the morning, so he thought it was just a new round of attack by the student army, and he didn't take it too seriously. He was about to lie down again, when the phone rang suddenly, and the staff officer on duty answered, "Haiyi, Haiyi" twice, and then reported to Mizuhara Yoshishige: "Your Excellency, there was a call from the front line in Tongjia Town, and they found the tanks of the China. ”
"What?"
Mizuhara Yoshishige opened his eyes and immediately stood up, he jumped over and grabbed the phone, and asked, "Higashino-kun, are you sure you saw the tank of the Shina?" ”
"Hello!" Higashino Daewoo obviously heard his accent, and immediately replied respectfully: "Your Excellency, it is indeed the tank of the Chinese people, and there are quite a few of them, Your Excellency, our anti-tank guns are not enough to destroy the tanks of the Chinese people, you see?" ”
"Then let's organize a death squad," Mizuhara Yoshishige said with a cold face.
"Hello!"
Mizuhara Yoshishige put down the phone and fell asleep. So far, in several tank battles, the Japanese have not had the upper hand once. At first, the Japanese high command tried to hide this situation, but with the establishment of the South China Front, this situation was not concealed from the front-line senior commanders of the South China Front. Mizuhara recalls the summary report on the Pukou tank battle that he had seen, and remembered that "the latest Type 99 tank in the empire was almost completely wiped out", and the confidence and pride of the previous counterattack disappeared.
He said to the staff officer on duty: "Inform the two captains in front and let them also organize death squads, it seems that the people of China want to end the battle tonight." Hmph, this time, I'm going to let them know how powerful the Dao Imperial Army is. The Emperor's warriors will use their flesh and blood to teach the Shina people a painful lesson. ”
There are three battalions in Tongjia Township, while there is only one battalion in Xiabu Township. In order to concentrate on the amount of work and strive for a one-time meritorious service, Li Hansoul's plan was pushed all the way from Tongjia Town.
Since the birth of the light-type tank, if there is one thing that has any scruples in the battle against Japan, it is the Japanese manflesh bomb tactics. Jiguang type tank, especially the later type, its armor is enough to deal with the Japanese tank, even if it encounters its latest Type 99, four-sided armor, only the tail armor is not enough to withstand the fire of the Japanese tank, the other three sides are strong enough, often can withstand one or two shells. The weakest part of the Jiguang tank is actually at the bottom, which is where it is most vulnerable to human bombs. It is precisely in order to prevent the Japanese army's manflesh bomb tactics from working, Li Hansoul will let each tank be equipped with enough commandos, in order to snipe these devil manflesh bombs in advance, so that they cannot threaten the safety of the tank.
Wang Lan drove the tank to the front of the assault team, and when the flares fired from the Japanese position began to go out, he was about to take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward, when suddenly more than a dozen devils rushed over from a distance of more than 100 meters in front, each of whom was holding an explosive bag or a cluster grenade in his arms.
"Hit!" Several soldiers on this tank saw the dozen or so figures through the reflection of the firelight, and one of the experienced squad leaders immediately sensed the Japanese attempt, and he immediately shouted loudly, grabbed the tank turret with one hand, and opened fire fiercely with a Weiqing-style submachine gun in the other.
The bullet hit a ghost soldier and hit the explosive bag in his arms, and with a "boom" explosion, the devil was immediately engulfed by a huge fireball, and at the same time, the other three fighters on the tank, including the tank machine gun shooter, opened fire one after another, and three or four more than a dozen devils were blown up, and with the violent explosion turned into a burning humanoid torch - at this point, the most tragic battle and anti-tank battle began!
