Chapter 274: Jing County Destroys the Enemy 2
readx;? Li Chunshan led his troops to chase out for about 20 miles, when they encountered the Japanese army's blocking position, because of the terrain, the Japanese army's blocking position was a trench hastily built in the middle of the mountain road, as well as some fortifications piled up with earth bags. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć There was only one squadron of Japanese troops on the Info position, and the other Japanese troops were behind the positions ready to reinforce the Japanese troops on the front line at any time.
Two light tanks and two armored vehicles stopped two hundred meters away from the Japanese position, and the Japanese troops on the position were also panicked when they saw that the Chinese army actually had combat vehicles, and under the command of the squadron leader, the heavy machine guns on the position opened fire first, and the bullets hit the bodies of the tanks and armored vehicles, making a clanging sound. The fighters of the second company behind the tanks and armored vehicles, using the combat vehicles as cover, evaded the strafing fire of the Japanese machine guns.
While the Japanese heavy machine guns on the position were constantly strafing, the on-board guns on the tank vehicles opened fire. The light tank is equipped with an 85 mm caliber tank gun, which is quite accurate with the use of advanced fire sighting systems. Three shells each fired from the two tanks, sending four heavy machine guns from the Japanese position, along with the machine gunners, into the air.
Without the fire of heavy machine guns, several heavy machine guns on tanks and armored vehicles began to fire at the Japanese positions, and the strafing of several heavy machine guns made it impossible for the Japanese troops in the trenches to raise their heads at all.
However, the 75 Mountain Artillery does not use armor-piercing shells, and the grenade alone cannot withstand two tank vehicles. On the contrary, because the target was exposed, several mountain guns were also named by the artillery on the tank car. The soldiers of the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Company followed closely behind the battle vehicle, and although there were also casualties, the casualties were not large. Seeing that the chariot broke into the Japanese position, the Japanese troops on the position retreated one after another.
The Japanese troops who left the trenches and fortifications were the heavy machine guns on the tanks and the live targets of the soldiers of the second company. , tore open the opening in the Japanese position, the four tanks continued to pursue the retreating troops of the Japanese army, the soldiers of the second company still followed the chariots to pursue forward, and the task of cleaning up the Japanese troops left behind was handed over to the soldiers of the third company behind the second company.
After learning that the Shina army had dispatched tanks and that a squadron of soldiers blocking the Shina army could not stop the tanks at all, Nagano Kameiichiro was horrified and could only order his troops to retreat quickly. Although the tanks and armored vehicles were fast, they did not dare to abandon the infantry to pursue the Japanese army alone, so the Japanese army was in front and the soldiers of the first battalion were behind, and they pursued until the evening, until the Yongye detachment was again blocked by the Suyu detachment when it was almost to Yangliu Town.
At this time, there were still more than 2,000 people in the Nagano detachment, and there was a blocking attack in front, and the chariots of the Shina army were pursuing it behind, and on both sides of the road were very steep slopes, and it was very difficult to climb up. Kameiichiro Nagano immediately sent another squadron of Japanese troops to the rear to block the chariot troops in China, and sent a large group of soldiers to attack the troops in China that were blocking him.
The Su Yu detachment, which was blocking the attack, arranged all the light and heavy machine guns of the whole detachment on the defensive line, and the Japanese army used only a few heavy machine guns and more than a dozen grenadiers to cover the charge of the soldiers. When the Japanese army was about to attack, countless grenades flew from the mountains on both sides, and the attack of this grenade blew up the Japanese troops on the mountain road. Only then did Kameiichiro Nagano realize that he was surrounded by the Shina army.
Under these circumstances, the Japanese army, still under the command of the officer, launched a charge towards the blocking position of the Suyu detachment, intending to break through a way out. However, not counting the strong firepower of the 1st Battalion and the Guard Battalion of the reconnaissance regiment on both sides of the mountain road, even the several light and heavy machine guns of the Suyu detachment on the front also made it difficult for the Japanese to rush through the blocking position.
The Japanese squadron that was blocking the pursuers in the back did not hesitate to use human bombs to stop the advance of the tanks, the tanks stopped, and the soldiers of the first battalion and the second company behind them were powerful, light machine guns, submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles and heavy machine guns on the tank, which directly made the rushing human bombs unable to get close to the tank.
After the 3rd Company caught up and set up a round of mortar bombardment, there were few people left in this Japanese squadron, and the remaining Japanese troops, led by a captain, shouted, "Itaza!" and then launched a charge. This suicidal charge may have been able to frighten the recruits, but they were met by a battalion of independent regiments that had been in battle for a long time, and naturally all these Japanese troops fell on the way to the charge.
After destroying this Japanese squadron, it was getting dark, and the gunfire in front was more urgent, and the soldiers of the first battalion did not care about resting, and continued to rush forward with the chariot. After turning a hill along the mountain road, the tanks and armored vehicles stopped, and it turned out that the Japanese army had dug up a section of the mountain road for more than ten meters, and in this case, neither tanks nor armored vehicles could pass.
The Japanese army once again set up a blocking position about 50 meters away from this broken road, and in the darkness he could see how many Japanese troops were on the opposite side, and Li Chunshan, the commander of the first battalion, was worried that there would be too many casualties if he launched a strong attack at night, so he ordered to stop the attack and defend on the spot. At this time, the soldiers of the third company came to the front and began to defend themselves with the help of the large pit dug by the Japanese army on the mountain road.
After a day of fighting, the Japanese were also quite tired, and Kameiichiro Nagano gathered all the Japanese troops on a two-kilometer mountain road, and held on both sides of the mountain road in a group. In order to avoid excessive casualties, the first battalion of the reconnaissance regiment and the guard battalion did not attack overnight.
At dawn the next day, a battalion that was ready for battle launched an artillery bombardment on the two-kilometer mountain road where the Japanese were stationed. After shelling the Japanese blocking position for more than 10 minutes, more than 20 mortars began to extend their artillery fire backwards, and the soldiers of the third company almost stepped on the landing point of the shells and launched a charge.
Thirty meters away from the Japanese blocking position, several rounds of grenades flew out of the hands of the soldiers of the third company and fell on the Japanese position. In close-quarters combat, the submachine gun was much better than the Japanese Type 38 rifle, and the soldier with the semi-automatic rifle carried the rifle on his back and drew a glittering broadsword from behind.
The second company, which was followed by the third company, also launched a charge, and the first battalion of the reconnaissance regiment and the guard battalion saw that the artillery was almost complete, and the soldiers of the first battalion had already begun to charge, and after throwing several rounds of grenades into the mountain road, they began to kill down the hills on both sides of the mountain road. However, the snipers in the reconnaissance battalion and the guard battalion did not charge, and they still eliminated all the Japanese troops who posed a threat to the charging fighters on the hill.
The two armies of China and Japan were mixed together on the two-kilometer mountain road, and the Japanese army could still organize a resistance at the beginning, but as officers at all levels were constantly sniped, the Japanese army became more and more chaotic, and when Su Yu also took the soldiers of the New Fourth Army to join the battle with the Japanese army, the Japanese army finally couldn't parry, and two hours passed, and when the Chinese soldiers surrounded dozens of Japanese regiments including Nagano Kameiichiro, the destruction of the Japanese Nagano detachment had become a fact.
These dozens of Japanese soldiers still wanted to make a last stubborn resistance at this time, and were beaten into a honeycomb by dozens of submachine guns after the Tangshan Leopard gave an order. Then it was time to clean up the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Independent Brigade were better, and they only chose the useful ones, but the soldiers of the New Fourth Army did not want them, and even the military uniforms on the Japanese army were selected and picked off.
In terms of the distribution of some of the trophies, the Independent Brigade also tried its best to let the New Fourth Army pick first, and Su Yu, who was directly involved, was a little embarrassed. After cleaning up the battlefield, all the officers and soldiers withdrew to Qinxi Town, and Wang Haitao also came to Qinxi Town. Through this battle, Su Yu understood Wang Haitao's confidence, and some of the weapons and equipment used by his soldiers had never been seen before.
An infantry battalion was equipped with four large and small combat vehicles, dozens of mortars, and dozens of light and heavy machine guns. With all the heavy weapons of the New Fourth Army combined, I don't know if anyone has more than one battalion, let alone a chariot. A detachment of the Japanese army numbered several thousand, and he said that it would be wiped out if it was eliminated, and from beginning to end, three battalions of more than 1,000 people were mobilized.
If the New Fourth Army encounters such a detachment of Japanese attack, I am afraid it can only retreat. Su Yu came to meet Wang Haitao again with a very complicated feeling. As soon as they saw Wang Haitao, he said with a smile: "Commander Su, this time thanks to the help of your New Fourth Army, we can completely annihilate the Yongye detachment." ā
Wang Haitao's words made Li Yu also blush, this time the battle of the total annihilation of the Yongye detachment, Su Yu knew best, when fighting the blockade, because of the ambush of the reconnaissance battalion and the guard battalion on the hills on both sides of the mountain road, the Japanese army did not launch a similar attack at all, and when the final fight came, when he led the troops to arrive, the fight had come to an end. In such a big battle, only a dozen soldiers were killed in their own troops, and more than 30 were wounded. On the other hand, Wang Haitao's troops alone had dozens of soldiers who had been sacrificed, and nearly 100 were seriously injured.
Su Yu replied: "Commander Wang's troops are strong and well-equipped, which is really not comparable to our New Fourth Army, and in this big battle, the most of them wiped out more than 4,000 Japanese troops with only a few dozen sacrifices, which is really unbelievable." If I hadn't been there and personally participated in the battle, I wouldn't have believed what I said. It's just that the equipment of our New Fourth Army is too poor, and we didn't help much this time, so I'm really ashamed. ā
Wang Haitao smiled and said: "The reason why my troops can destroy a large number of Japanese troops is that they rely on the quality of individual soldiers who are stronger than the Japanese army and the weapons and equipment that are much better than the Japanese army. Commander Su, don't worry, there is still a wing of the Japanese army coming from the direction of Jingde, and after defeating this Japanese army, I will give you priority to changing equipment from the trophies, so that you can also have more confidence to work with the little Japanese. ā
Su Yu said a little excitedly: "Is Commander Wang's words serious?" Wang Haitao smiled: "What I, Wang Haitao, haven't said yet, doesn't count." Although these Japanese-style equipment are much stronger than those in your hands, I really haven't seen it in my eyes. Su Yu didn't say much when he heard it, so he could only say: "The battle below, if it is useful to our New Fourth Army, Commander Wang can only issue the task, and we will guarantee to complete the task." ā
