Chapter 458: Heads Rolling (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"I really didn't expect that these Siamese natives would have the courage to go out of the city and fight us in the field. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Did they get kicked in the head by a donkey, or did they get caught in the door! "Outside the city of Nanben, on the edge of the Bin River. Colonel Song Wanlong, commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, looked at the resistance army in a daze, and couldn't believe what he saw.
"Commander Song, these Siamese natives, maybe think they are very powerful, and we are not as powerful as the legend says. Otherwise, how could they have such audacity? Major Qi Yun, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Reconnaissance Brigade, smiled.
"Yes! Who knows what these Siamese natives think? However, their tactics are very beneficial to us! Directly defeated their main force, the battle was easily over. Colonel Song Wanlong said with a smile.
Although, the Siamese Resistance Army had a large number of troops. From a distance, it looks like a piece of black pressing. Compared with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, there is undoubtedly too much. However, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, who had experienced a hundred battles, were not afraid, and they did not have any expression of fear. Even the expressions on the faces of the soldiers were full of banter. Because they know that soon these Siamese natives will be turned into cold corpses.
"Order the artillery to get ready, give these Siamese natives, a ruthless one. I want to see how brave this rabble is. Colonel Song Wanlong ordered.
The artillery battalion of the 7th Infantry Regiment, as well as the infantry artillery batteries of the infantry battalions, began to move. Eighteen 75-mm field guns, 18 Type 92 infantry guns, six 107-mm heavy mortars, 18 81-mm medium mortars and 54 60-mm light mortars began preparations for the shelling. Preparations for the 1st Reconnaissance Brigade of the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion of the Type 92 infantry guns, 6 81-mm medium mortars and 18 60-mm light mortars also began.
The Siamese natives on the other side probably never dreamed that they were facing an anti-Japanese salvation army of only more than 5,000 people. However, the total number of cannons equipped amounted to 144 units. Of course, mortars can only be regarded as light infantry support firepower in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. When engaged with a powerful enemy, these mortars simply cannot be used in artillery battles. They can only strike at enemy infantry. Of course, if all the grenadiers are counted, the number of artillery pieces of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will rise even further. An infantry battalion of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, but 27 grenadiers. An infantry regiment plus a reconnaissance battalion had a full 108 grenadiers. It's just that because of the range, it can't play a role at the moment.
Even so, more than a hundred field guns, infantry guns and mortars were enough for those Siamese natives to drink a pot.
"What are the Chinese doing on the other side? Shall we take the initiative to attack? Piji asked.
He is just a deputy police chief, and he may be very good at eating and taking cards and bullying ordinary people. However, if he is asked to lead his troops to fight, he will not understand at all.
"Commander, those Chinese, there are only a few thousand. We are twenty times as much as them. Don't be afraid of them at all. After those Chinese take action, we will react according to their actions. One of his men said to Piji.
Thinking about it, it is indeed a truth! So he nodded and said no more. In his opinion, anyway, they have enough troops, and they don't have to worry about any conspiracy and trickery played by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
It's a pity that they were completely wrong. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army never thought of any conspiracy, but planned to defeat them head-on.
"Battalion Commander Qi, I will send you a battalion to go around to the east and north of these Siamese natives and cut off their retreat. When the time comes, we will defeat them head-on and intercept them. This time, I'm going to eat all of these Siamese natives in one bite. Colonel Song Wanlong said.
Major Qi Yun nodded: "There should be no problem, the powerful artillery fire on the front will scare them out." After that, they had no choice but to flee in confusion. We were able to cut off their retreat by blocking them with some machine guns. ”
Major Qi Yun led the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion of the 1st Reconnaissance Brigade and the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Infantry Regiment to make a detour to cut off the retreat of the Siamese natives. The whole operation was completed in half an hour.
The Siamese natives, who were originally a rabble, had no formal training at all. After such a stalemate, they will not be able to hold it for a long time. Some people began to speak quietly, and some even went to untie their hands and get out of things, and the whole queue was even more chaotic.
After Colonel Song Wanlong saw this in the telescope, a smile appeared on his face. He knew that his odds were greater.
"Regiment Commander, Battalion Commander Qi, they are ready. Battalion Commander Qi personally led the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion of the 1st Reconnaissance Brigade to guard the north, and the 3rd Battalion to guard the east. A communications soldier reported to Colonel Song Wanlong.
"Well, order the artillery to open fire. Let these natives who don't have long eyes taste our power. Colonel Song Wanlong ordered.
"Yes, Captain." The herald immediately went to deliver the order.
In less than two minutes, the artillery battalion of the 7th Infantry Regiment fired the first shell. A 75-mm shell, accompanied by a deafening sound of shelling, flew out of the muzzle and, under the action of kinetic energy, smashed towards the Siamese natives.
Other field artillery, infantry artillery and mortars, also followed, and the shelling began.
For a time, hundreds of cannons began to shell fiercely. Shells rained down on the Siamese natives.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
A violent explosion rang out in the ranks of the Siamese natives. In the violent explosion, many Siamese natives were directly torn to pieces.
They did not have any military knowledge, and such a dense formation undoubtedly became the best target for the artillery bombardment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"Ahh The shelling of the Chinese began. Run! ”
Under the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Siamese natives suffered heavy casualties, and stumps and broken arms flew everywhere. What's more serious is that these Siamese natives who have never been on the battlefield are directly frightened. They could no longer maintain the queue, and even ignored the orders of their superiors and began to scatter and flee. The biggest difference between the rabble and the elite troops is in these places.
Phi Ji, the same frightened soul scattered. When the first shell exploded, he was frightened and fell off his horse. Although he was not injured, his face was full of despair. He knew how wrong he was. Vainly trying to confront the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is simply looking for death!
