Chapter 314: Eat the Artillery Brigade First (Third Update!) )
"Captain, without the support of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the troops can't be withdrawn at all, what should I do next!" A few squad leaders don't care how angry the squadron leader is. Word of the tragic situation in the village has spread. Although they are not afraid of death, they are afraid of dying without a body. Therefore, as soon as he heard that the Imperial Allied Army could not count on it, he chased after the squadron leader for other solutions!
"Baga, no troops, no artillery, what can I do!" The squadron leader also lost his temper and scolded loudly.
But soon he calmed down, because he didn't want to die here either.
"Retreat is certain, but the troops must be left to fight the attack. You go and arrange it yourself, take as many people as you can, we will retreat in the direction of Loess Ridge, hurry up, once the Tuba Road surrounds us, we can't retreat if we want to! ”
In the end, an infantry squadron withdrew only half of the squadron, and then, under the command of the squadron leader, it bypassed the village and moved in the direction of Loess Ridge.
What the squadron leader did not know was that on the way to Loess Ridge, the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment had already sharpened its sabers and was waiting for them.
I don't know that at this moment, the Loess Ridge is also in a sea of fire.
When the instructor of the engineer company pressed the detonator in Hongqiao Village, the company commander Xu Ke also pressed the detonator in Loess Ridge.
Then, a large fireball rose from the threshing floor in the middle of the village, and the sound of a violent explosion spread as quickly as thunder.
The explosion was an order, and the 12 mountain artillery guns equipped with the fire battalion of the Independent Regiment plus a total of 18 mortars opened fire at the same time, firing shells at the Loess Ridge, which suddenly became chaotic.
The three main battalions, with the company as the unit, suddenly emerged from the hiding point, densely packed, like waves swept towards the Loess Ridge, compressing the activity space of the Japanese puppet army in the Loess Ridge.
The heavy machine guns and light machine guns that attacked with the team, as long as they touched the firepower of the Japanese puppet army, immediately stopped and stared at the opponent, and did not continue to advance until the opponent was completely dumb.
The commander of the Japanese army who attacked this way happened to be the old opponent of the independent regiment, Kato Daisa.
Because the Independent Regiment had suffered losses at his hands when attacking the Qinggu Transit Station, this attack was particularly fierce.
All the attacking troops took advantage of the chaos of the Japanese puppet army to advance as far as possible and compress the offensive distance of the general attack at that time.
As soon as the explosion on the threshing floor sounded, Kato Osa was awakened from his sleep, and then sat up from the bed with a pout.
"Guard, what's going on outside? Where did the explosion come from! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the orderlies and a few staff officers rushed in.
"Sir, there was a sudden explosion in the threshing floor where the artillery was stationed, and the reason is unknown!" A staff officer nervously reported.
......As soon as they finished saying this, the screeching of cannonballs across the sky reached their ears.
Kato Daisa's guards are all veterans, and they are at least military officers in the field troops. His face changed, and he set up Kato Daisa, who had not yet put on his military uniform, and shot outside.
"It's shelling, massive shelling, quickly protect the commander and transfer, it's not safe here!"
As soon as a dozen people rushed to the door, a violent explosion sounded around them, and one of the shells exploded directly into the yard less than twenty meters away from them.
Kato Osa saw with his own eyes that the two imperial soldiers were thrown into the sky in the explosion, and then they were torn into several pieces in the air, and then the heavenly maidens fell everywhere like scattered flowers, and there were no bones left!
"Yaga, where is our artillery? Why not fight back yet! The troops are concentrated in the village, and a round of artillery fire will lose hundreds of people, how many of our troops can withstand such losses. Contact the artillery brigade, in half a minute it is necessary to counterattack and knock out the enemy artillery! Kato's face sank and he began to give orders.
The staff officer on the side hurriedly reminded: "Sir, the explosion just now came from the artillery brigade station, and the artillery brigade must have suffered heavy losses in the explosion, so I will contact them immediately and let them counterattack at all costs." ”
As soon as he was about to leave, a lieutenant rushed in covered in blood, and as soon as he saw Kato Daisa, he shouted in despair: "It's over, sir, the artillery is over!" ”
"What's over, you make it clear!" Before Kato could speak, a young man had already grabbed the other party's collar and asked.
"It's artillery!" The lieutenant officer finally regained a trace of composure and hastened to answer.
"The humble post is stationed next to the artillery station, the artillery station was buried by the enemy with a large amount of gunpowder, just now this gunpowder exploded, the entire garrison was affected, the loss of personnel, our infantry stationed near the artillery were killed and wounded many people!"
Kato Osa reacted suddenly, and his gloomy face turned pale.
Just then, another officer rushed over.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army, a lot of Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared outside the village, they are killing the village, and the peripheral patrol troops are resisting step by step. But the offensive of the Eighth Route Army was too strong, the firepower was fierce, and the peripheral troops suffered heavy casualties, so they definitely couldn't hold out for too long! ”
At this time, Kato Osa had already fully understood.
The pale face was slowly replaced by calmness, and then he began to order: "It must be the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that wants to eat us, and after enduring it for so long, I finally can't help it." It's just that I didn't expect them to be so cunning that they would eat one of my artillery brigades as soon as they came up! ”
"However, without artillery, the Imperial Army can still fight and defeat them!"
"Order the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Allied Army to immediately enter the position and block the attack of the Eighth Route Army."
"The other troops immediately assembled and built fortifications behind the temporary defensive line to block the more fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army."
"Operator, contact Your Excellency the General immediately, we are under heavy siege by the Independent Regiment in Loess Ridge, and the artillery brigade has been wiped out, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"
With Kato Daisa's order, the chaotic situation in the village instantly improved a lot.
A pair of Japanese soldiers began to rush out of their resting rooms, carrying weapons and rushing out of the village.
The Imperial Concordia army was chaotic, and no matter how much the officers threatened, they couldn't stop this chaotic situation.
In the end, several teams of devils rushed over, stabbed a few people to death with bayonets before stopping the chaos, and then under the threat of the devil's machine guns, they entered the position with rifles.
"Brothers, shoot and block the attack of the Eighth Route Army, or we will all die!" The officers scattered in the middle of the Imperial Concordia army shouted as they opened fire.
"The devils are staring behind us, unless we repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army, we will all die here. Shoot them all and concentrate your fire on them! ”
"Heavy machine gunner, shoot!"
"Artillery, open fire immediately, knock out the heavy machine gun fire point of the Eighth Route Army!"
"You go to the back and tell the Imperial Army, ask them to help knock out the firepower point of the Eighth Route Army with grenadiers, the offensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, we are about to be unable to withstand it!"
More and more Imperial Allied troops joined the battle, and the attack of the Independent Regiment was finally blocked.
In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Wang Ping, who was present at the scene, decisively ordered the troops to stop and stabilize the defense line on the spot.
