Chapter 1251: Breaking the Game (Final)!
In the face of the desperate onslaught of the Japanese soldiers of the two squadrons, a platoon of the American army quickly emptied the bullets in the light machine guns, and then ran away with the guns, leaving behind several corpses, without even meaning to report to the company headquarters.
"Send a report to Sato Daisa, the U.S. troops are retreating in disarray, and our department will continue to pursue."
Oguri was very proud, and a single charge made the invincible American GIs flee in disarray, and he began to use their expertise to cover up the rout.
"The Japanese army outflanked our rear road, and now we are moving closer to the company headquarters, please respond immediately."
Fortunately, the platoon commander was not Aragami yet, and he was shouting wildly with a walkie-talkie during the retreat.
"Tweet ......"
I don't know if it was Sato Daisa's decision to attack ahead of schedule or whether the American commander received a call from the retreating platoon commander, and a large number of flares were raised around the American defense line.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Light and heavy machine guns fired directly at the shadows that pounced on the field.
"Puff puff ......"
A large number of devils fell to the ground screaming, and the rest of the devils fell to the ground, dodging machine gun bullets.
"The Americans reacted."
"Order the artillery to fire!"
Sato Daisa didn't panic at all, this situation was in his plan.
"Boom, boom......"
Infantry guns and mortars fired one after another, and shells kept falling on American positions.
"Report to Chief Merrell, we are surrounded, ask for reinforcements."
After half disappearing, the retreating troops entered the position, and at the same time brought more Japanese troops, and the whole field was filled with gunfire, and the battle entered a white-hot state from the beginning.
"Sir, two companies of Unit 5307 are surrounded in the northeast area of Warruban, which is very dangerous."
At the New Pingyang Command, Brigadier General Haig received a telegram asking for help and immediately found General Stilwell, who had no way to deploy the nearby 5307 troops to reinforce them, the night was too dangerous, and he had no right to transfer the Chinese troops.
"Company C and Company F?"
Stilwell frowned and looked at the markings on the map, according to the battle report before dark, the two companies were indeed too far away from the large forces, they were too deep.
"Yes, the Japanese forces of more than a brigade cut off their retreat half an hour ago, and a line of defense captured before dark returned to the Japanese."
Brigadier General Haig nodded.
"That means two companies of soldiers, now facing a siege from more than a brigade of Japanese troops?"
Stilwell asked with a frown.
"Yes, maybe two brigades, or a wing, they are in urgent need of rescue."
Brigadier General Haig emphasized.
"Which troop is closest to them?"
Stilwell led Brigadier General Haig to the war room and looked at the battle map on the wall.
"General, it's the troops of 5307, and they are northeast, less than five kilometers, and there is a company; However, this company had to face a well-established Japanese defensive line. ”
"To the southeast, six kilometers away, Unit 5307 has a battalion, and they also need to face a whole line of defense against the Japanese army."
......
In the staff officer's briefing, Stilwell's brows became more and more furrowed, the closest to them was Unit 5307, but Unit 5307 lacked heavy weapons to attack the fortifications, and the troops were scattered, they were probably thinking about how to protect themselves now, and it was very difficult to rescue them.
"The 113th Regiment of Panmai is twenty kilometers away from the besieged troops, and they are the only formed troops on this battlefield that have the ability to break the siege, and they have an armored company."
Brigadier General Haig finally stated his purpose.
"Panmai is also very important, the plan of the 113th Regiment is to take Panmai tomorrow and lock up the division headquarters of the 18th Division in Mengguan."
Stilwell shook his head, not wanting to use the 113th Regiment at all.
"Your Excellency, those are two companies of soldiers, Americans; The formation was killed by the Japanese, are you ready to face domestic public opinion? ”
General Haig reminded in a whisper.
"Even if the 113th Regiment is ordered to break the siege, it must wait until dawn; When the day dawns, the Air Force can be dispatched, why can't the troops in the surrounding area of 5307 gather to break the siege? ”
Stilwell asked.
"General, Unit 5307 has no heavy equipment, the Air Force is not omnipotent, there will be a lot of risks!"
......
Faced with General Haig's answer, Stilwell shook his head slightly, lit his cigar, and slowly walked to his office, he needed to think about it.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Da Da Da ......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Feng Ye is very busy now, and he has no time to manage the embarrassment of Unit 5307, he is now under attack from both sides, and even he himself has walked into the trench and defended with Thomson.
The Japanese reinforcements from Menggong were followed by infantry artillery and mortars, which caused great trouble to their defense, and the grenadiers originally equipped by the Japanese infantry made it easy for the recruits who had just begun to adapt to the battlefield to forget the content of the training.
"Retract and reload."
"Pay attention to the sound of bullets, don't die!"
"Change the shooting point!"
Fortunately, the skeleton of the commando team is still there, and the veterans and squad leaders are constantly reminding the recruits while shooting.
"Order the mortar to open fire, concentrate on the pontoon bridge, his female horse's, there are too many bridges!"
On the positions on the banks of the North and South Rivers, several battalion commanders were very angry, and the Japanese built dense pontoon bridges on the river, and a large number of devils rushed over from the pontoon bridges, and more and more soldiers boarded the river banks to shoot at the defenders.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Risking being counterattacked by Japanese mortars and rapid-fire guns, mortars were used intensively and collectively fired at the pontoon bridges on the North and South rivers.
In the explosion, strings of water rose under flares, sawdust flew, and the Japanese pontoon bridges disappeared one by one.
"Boom, boom......"
But the consequences were serious, and the rapid-fire guns and mortars of the devils soon counterattacked, and the shells exploded around the mortar positions, blowing up a cloud of dirt.
"Ahh
The loader was swept away by shrapnel and fell to the ground screaming.
"Withdraw, withdraw......"
The platoon leader shouted, and the brothers hid in the nearby trenches with mortars, while behind them, several brothers were dragging the wounded brothers.
As for the boxes of shells placed next to them, there are no extra brothers to take care of at this time, as long as the artillery is still there, they still have shells to replenish, once the mortar is blown up, the defense on the position will be very difficult.
In the fierce gunfire, the new Pingyang Command was very busy, and the staff officers were calculating the possibility of not sending the 113th Regiment to relieve the siege.
The current position of the 113th Regiment is too good, Stilwell is not reconciled, this unit tore apart the stalemate battlefield, and brought a breaking point to this battle; In the same way, the Japanese army also seized the opportunity of the 5307 unit of the US army to advance and encircled a force, and both sides were breaking the situation, but on one side they wanted to encircle, and on the other side they were trying to break this difficult situation.
"General, the Japanese army retreated from the Mengguan area, they could only retreat to the Waruban area, and now the situation in the Waruban area, with the efforts of the 5307 troops and the new 38th Division, has become a very narrow area, as long as Feng Yi's commandos hold the North and South River, our air force and ground forces will quickly defeat the 18th Division."
General Haig didn't dare to pin his hopes on Unit 5607 and was still persuading Stilwell.
