Chapter 389: The Battle of Guangzhou[6]

Having captured this defensive position of the Guards Artillery Wing, the Japanese artillery did not even have a few rifles, how could they compete with the soldiers of the first regiment of guards like wolves. The soldiers of the first regiment took the artillery position at a very small price, and all the Japanese soldiers who dared to resist stubbornly died at gunpoint. The wing commander of the artillery wing, Yamauchi Hodasa, with dozens of guards soldiers, was about to blow up dozens of artillery pieces on the position when they were attacked by the fighters of the guard brigade.

Under the strafing fire of the submachine guns of the soldiers of the first regiment of guards, Yamauchi Hodasa and the dozens of soldiers around him fell unwillingly. After capturing the artillery position, Tangshan Leopard left one battalion to clean up the battlefield, and he continued to attack the center of the Japanese camp with two battalions. At this time, the 2nd Regiment of the Guards Brigade was engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Japanese cavalry brigade and the baggage brigade.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army's baggage troops was average, but this cavalry brigade was still very combative. Although horses were not needed in this case, their armament and individual quality were not inferior to those of regular infantry, and even higher. The cavalry corps consisted of 800 men, and with the addition of the baggage brigades, the number of soldiers reached more than 2,000.

After receiving the order from their superiors to hold on to their positions, the baggage soldiers used a large number of vehicles and baggage items to pile up a fortification, and the cavalry brigade set up light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers and mortars behind the fortifications, as well as two 75 cavalry mountain guns. The 2nd Guards Regiment did not pay attention to the Japanese baggage troops at first, and when it got closer, the 3rd Battalion immediately began to charge, and as a result, it suffered a loss.

As soon as the three battalions that launched the charge rushed halfway, the Japanese army opened all kinds of firepower, and dozens of soldiers who rushed to the front fell under the bullets flying like a torrential rain. The regiment commander Liu Pengfei rushed over, and when he saw that this was the case, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to withdraw first.

Liu Pengfei also organized light and heavy machine guns and mortars in the regiment to suppress the Japanese firing points. However, in the night environment, the line of sight was not good, and the fortifications piled up by the Japanese army with vehicles were relatively strong, so except for the use of mortars to destroy the two cavalry mountain guns of the Japanese army, the results were not very good. The Japanese army saw that the Chinese army was very firepower, and the position of the machine gun fire point was constantly changing, which increased the difficulty of suppressing and destroying it.

Seeing that the attack was not going well, Liu Pengfei called the three battalion commanders together to discuss how to carry out the attack. Wang Haitao warned when he set up the guard regiment that in a battle, the necessary sacrifices are inevitable and possible, but it is never allowed to exchange the lives of a large number of soldiers for a victory. Under the current circumstances, if the 2nd Guard Regiment pressed on and charged regardless of casualties, it would be possible to successfully take the Japanese position, but this kind of victory with human lives was unacceptable to Liu Pengfei and was not allowed.

After discussing for a while, everyone didn't have a very good way, and the commander of the third battalion, Wang Shusheng, couldn't help it, and shouted: "Regiment commander, you just let our third battalion rush again, this time I promise to take down the position of Little Japan!" Liu Pengfei frowned and reprimanded: "Wang Shusheng, don't say it, in this case, how many soldiers will fall under the guns of Little Japan, even if you can take the position, can you afford such a big casualty? How do you explain to the brigade seat and the military seat?"

Wang Shusheng lowered his head, and then said, "Then the regiment leader, how do you say to fight?" Liu Pengfei was also silent. At this time, Wei Jiangmin, the commander of the first battalion, said: "Regiment commander, do you think this will work, we will concentrate heavy firepower in front of a Japanese position, suppress the Japanese army, and then concentrate artillery fire to destroy the Japanese army's firepower points and fortifications, and then the soldiers will charge." Just open a gap in the Japanese position, and things will be easy. ”

Tang Anshi, commander of the second battalion, also said: "Regiment commander, don't we still have two armored trucks in our regiment? The anti-aircraft guns on them are good things, and they can also fire flat. Isn't it just right to use it at this time?" Liu Pengfei thought for a while and said, "Okay! Let's do this, this time the first battalion will be the main attacker, and the first battalion commander, you must minimize casualties." Wei Jiangmin agreed, and everyone went separately to prepare.

Fifteen minutes later, the concentrated mortars shelled a section of fortifications 50 meters from the Japanese position, and then the light and heavy machine guns also concentrated their fire to suppress this section of the Japanese position, and two armored vehicles equipped with German-made anti-aircraft guns also leveled their muzzles and came to the starting position. The commander of the first battalion, Wei Jiangmin, gave an order, with armored trucks in front and soldiers of the first battalion behind, and launched a charge against the Japanese position.

On the Japanese position, several firing points had been suppressed, and at this time, two trucks were seen charging from the light of the fire, covering a large group of infantry, and desperately spat out tongues of fire again at the trucks. The bullets clanged on the steel plates of the armored truck, and how could the soldiers operating the anti-aircraft guns on the car let little Japan shoot like this? After moving the muzzle, it was a shell.

The 20 mm anti-aircraft guns had a very striking penetrating power when firing horizontally, and the shells easily tore apart these items and vehicles used by the Japanese soldiers for fortifications, causing the Japanese soldiers to fall down after the fortifications. When the soldiers of the first battalion threw a second-round grenade at this section of the Japanese position, and rushed to the Japanese position in one go, there were few living people on this section of the Japanese position.

After taking this section of the Japanese position, even if a hole was torn in the entire Japanese position, the Japanese commander organized soldiers to recapture this position several times, but they were all repelled by the soldiers of the first battalion. After the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 2nd Regiment also rushed to the position, the Japanese commander saw that the general situation was gone, and led the remaining troops to retreat. Shortly before the 2nd Guards Regiment captured the Japanese positions, the 1st Guards Regiment had already captured the Japanese artillery positions.

The 22nd Brigade of the Japanese Army was attacked by Chinese troops from four directions, and the soldiers of the 546th Regiment and a battalion of the 545th Regiment led by Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 272nd Brigade, followed closely behind the extended artillery fire, and attacked the Japanese camp. The resistance of the Japanese army in this direction was relatively weak, and the 546th Regiment easily advanced a few hundred meters.

After that, the attack of the 546th Regiment was still stopped by the thousands of Japanese troops who had just been organized. These Japanese troops took advantage of all advantageous positions, set up all kinds of weapons, and fired desperately at the 546th Regiment, and the dense bullets flew in all directions, so that Zhang Lingfu, who was trying to reduce his losses, had to temporarily slow down the pace of his attack. On the left side of Yingde County, the 271st Brigade launched an attack on the Japanese camp, which was the strongest attack force in Wang Haitao's hands, and the pressure on the Japanese army was also the greatest.

However, this direction of the Japanese camp was also the easiest to defend and difficult to attack, not only with a steep uphill slope, but also with a broken rock more than a meter high at the top of the ramp. The Japanese army deployed the strength of two brigades in this direction, and the commander of the 44th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army was responsible for commanding the second big sa. Taking advantage of the ground type, he concentrated light and heavy firepower and repelled the second consecutive attack of the 271st Brigade.

The 271st Brigade has always been proud of being the first, and this time the two consecutive attacks were blocked by the Japanese army, and dozens of soldiers were killed and wounded, which made the brigade commander Tang Yiqun angry. Tang Yiqun transferred the artillery battalion directly under the brigade and concentrated hundreds of mortars, including 120 heavy mortars, to bombard the Japanese positions on the top of the slope.

The 543rd Regiment served as the main attack this time, with the first battalion and one company as the sharp knife company, and the company commander rushed to the front, followed by more than 100 soldiers of the whole company. They took advantage of the fact that the Japanese troops on the position were bombarded by mortars and rushed half the distance in one go. Just as they were approaching the top of the slope, the Japanese troops, under the strict orders of the commander, began to block the attack under artillery fire.

As soon as the Japanese position opened fire, the officers and men of the first company were immediately suppressed on the ramp, and the commander of the first company and several soldiers who rushed to the front were shot and fell. The regiment commander Tang Weimin hurriedly commanded the light and heavy machine guns in the regiment to suppress the Japanese firepower, and Tang Yiqun also mobilized artillery fire to focus on the Japanese troops on this side.

The Japanese had just organized a blockade that was disrupted again, and a company of fighters lying on the ramp took the opportunity to throw second-round grenades at the Japanese positions not far away. Then under the cover of a grenade, he rushed to the bottom of the broken rock at the top of the slope. The broken rock, which is mostly half a person high, is the key place for the Japanese army to defend, and the soldiers of the first company will be strafed by the Japanese machine guns if they rise from the broken rock, let alone climb the broken rock.

The soldiers of the first company are worthy of being veterans of the sharp knife company, they set up light machine guns on the broken rock, and suppressed the Japanese machine-gun fire with accurate point fire. When the Japanese soldiers reacted and turned their guns, these soldiers had already come close enough to several Japanese firing points, and a grenade completely silenced these Japanese machine gun firing points.

Without a machine-gun fire point, the officers and men of the first company rushed to the Japanese position and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese troops on the position. The soldiers of the 90th Division still retained the style of practicing knives, and each person always carried a big knife behind him.

When more than 100 soldiers of the first company were inextricably separated from more and more Japanese soldiers, and gradually felt overwhelmed, the officers and men of the first battalion in the back rushed up, and then the 543rd Regiment continued to rush up. As the 543rd Regiment rushed to the position, it was no longer a minority in numbers, and the Japanese army felt overwhelmed.

Wei Yonglu, the commander of the third battalion, had a good kung fu before joining the army, and he was well-known in the entire Zuozuo area. At this time, the big knife was opened, and there was no opponent at all, and when he was killing, someone was eyeing him. The commander of the Japanese army here and Zhiying Erdazuo, who is also a disciple of the Japanese sword, is very good at swordsmanship, after cutting down several Chinese soldiers with a katana, Wei Yonglu's performance fell into his sight, and Zhiying Er went straight to Wei Yonglu to kill him.
