Chapter 271: Attack on the Dragon Tomb
Suddenly there was a series of explosions and fires on the road, countless artillery pieces were blown into the air, and the crazy little Japanese even detonated those shells by suicide.
The terrifying shock wave and all kinds of shrapnel killed and injured everyone indiscriminately, and the Japanese army bore the brunt of the blow, and the stumps and broken arms were blown up all over the sky, and Captain Kikuta was also blown to nothing by the explosion.
The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment, who rushed to the front, were also killed and wounded, and the entire battlefield was dusty, as if covered by artillery fire.
Xing Fuquan asked the soldiers to avoid the explosion range and outflank the two flanks, and the Japanese army could no longer make any effective resistance after the deathly blow, and was quickly surrounded by the soldiers of the second regiment.
Coupled with the fact that they kept releasing cold guns on the top of the mountain, this artillery wing had lost its ability to resist, and the remaining little devils had become ghosts under the guns, and in the end, there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers kneeling on the ground and surrendering to the soldiers.
"We surrendered, we surrendered!"
In the face of the bitter pleas of more than a dozen Japanese, they were answered with cold bayonets, because Liao Mingyu said that he would not accept the surrender of anyone from the 18th Division
"Kill them, not one of them will be left!"
Xing Fuquan had a cold face like a prefectural judge, pronouncing the death of these Japanese, and he had always carried out Liao Mingyu's orders to the end.
"Poof! Burst! ”
"Amilot!"
"Ah......h
Black smoke still billows from the artillery wreckage on the road, and mutilated corpses are everywhere, with craters from shells everywhere.
Such a scene made Xing Fuquan also feel a big headache, he didn't expect Little Japan to be so steely, and he would explode without saying a word... Although the artillery wing was almost completely annihilated, the road was blocked to death.
There was no choice but to think about clearing the road first, Chen Jize and the others came over immediately, and they couldn't get through the convoy behind them.
"Clear the junk to both sides, fill the craters on the road with stones, and move faster!"
Xing Fuquan immediately ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and by the way, to see if there was any usable equipment left.
"Fuck, what a good cannon, it's a pity......"
Long Wenwen also came down from the mountain with people, and looked at the field guns that were blown up one by one and said very regretfully.
"Deputy division commander? It's a good thing that you are here to stop the enemy, otherwise these little devils would have escaped. ”
At this time, Xing Fuquan saw him and ran over to say hello with a smile.
"What's good? You kid is also a tiger, why do you have to bombard? How many shells and artillery were affected by the detonation? ”
"Uh... Isn't that habitual. ”
Xing Fuquan scratched his head and said embarrassedly, it is true, except for the little devil who played self-detonation, a large part of the cause of the explosion was caused by the mortars of the second regiment.
That's a full 36 75-caliber field guns, and 12 105 guns, if they can be captured, they can form another artillery regiment, which makes Deputy Division Commander Long, who has tasted the sweetness of artillery, heartbroken.
Long Wenwen walked painfully to the blasted gun racks, wanting to see if there were any survivors, and for a moment he didn't pay attention to the corpse of the devil on the ground and tripped over it, and almost didn't fall into a.
"Haha... The turtle son is like a landlord and an old money fan...... Oops! ”
To be numb laughing on the side, as expected, Long Wenwen flew over, and scolded and scolded non-stop:
"Laugh fart, you laugh! Hurry up and play with the mines you planted, if you collapse your own people, Lao Tzu will kill you! Holy shit..."
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Chen Jize came here with three regiments, and there was a convoy of more than 100 trucks and jeeps driving on the road.
In addition to the soldiers, there were all kinds of ammunition and food, and a large number of infantry were followed by a large number of infantry, and there was a cluster of light every other section, like a long dragon that seemed to be unable to see the end at a glance.
The 2nd Regiment cleared the wreckage and obstacles to the side as quickly as possible, and the potholes on the road were also filled with stones and dirt, which fully demonstrated the importance of coordination and cooperation of the troops.
Time is life, Chen Jize and the others did not stop at all, and quickly drove towards Longling through this section of the road.
Long Wenwen took the Falcon team to replenish it, and it was logical to take a ride, so if there was such a big thing as attacking Longling, could he do without him.
Now the entire West Bank has begun to move in full force, except for the 3rd Main Regiment, the 1st Regiment that Meng was bored with has re-embarked on the journey after a short rest and supplies.
Liao Mingyu personally followed behind with the guard battalion and the second regiment, and the artillery regiment also loaded a heavy artillery piece onto a truck and marched to the designated location.
All the remaining combat units of the Honor Third Division were moving in the direction of Longling, and Liao Mingyu mobilized more than 300 vehicles of various types and countless mules and horses to continuously send troops and material resources to the front line.
At this time, Yu Xiaoqing became the "logistics captain" to unconditionally support the actions of the Honorary Third Division, except.
He can see through it, pig teammates like Zhong Bin can't be counted on, and if he wants to win, he has to rely on Liao Mingyu to take him fly.
……
The defeat in the battle on the periphery of Nantianmen made the Japanese top brass angry, except for the 146th Wing, which had retreated to Gaoligong Mountain, it was able to maintain contact, and the 114th Wing and the artillery wing directly under the 56th Division had lost contact.
The commander of the 56th Division, Masao Watanabe, walked back and forth in the Tengchong headquarters, and he couldn't believe that his side had lost this battle.
Although the 114th Wing could not be contacted directly, the information from all sides was enough to confirm that they had lost, and the defeat was quite miserable.
"Watanabe-kun, there are only more than 2,000 defenders in Longling at present, we need to send reinforcements to help defend it, otherwise we will wait for the Huaxia people to reorganize the return attack... Longling is not good. ”
Chiba, the chief of staff of the division, put the information in his hand on the table, looked at a short and fat back and said.
"Still haven't you gotten in touch with Sato?" Watanabe turned to look at him and asked.
Chiba shook his head, his eyes revealing a little worry, it stands to reason that each brigade is equipped with a military radio, but there has been no news for so long, which can only indicate one situation......
"The strength of Tengchong's side is already a little dwarfed, and the Huaxia people opposite us are still eyeing it, so let's transfer the brigade in the direction of Mangshi to Longling first."
Watanabe immediately made arrangements, Mangshi was located west of Longling, also along the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and reinforcements from that direction were the fastest.
He believes that even if the Chinese defeat the 114 United, they will definitely be greatly injured, and it should be impossible to take much action in the short term.
"Send out a search team, be sure to find out the situation of Sato and the artillery wing!"
"Wow Ka Ma Sida."
Watanabe was a little irritable in his heart, not to mention the 114th Wing, a whole artillery wing, that is the elite of their 56th Division, dozens of artillery pieces are not a joke.
You must know that since the empire opened up the Southeast Asian battlefield, not a single artillery unit has been eliminated in an organized manner, and if this happened to him, I don't know how Commander Iida would clean it up.
"Chiba-kun, you should go to Longling tomorrow, and I can rest assured that you will be there in person."
Watanabe thought about it, but still felt that Ryuling needed a capable commander to take charge.
"Okay, then I'll ......"
"Report to the general, Longling emergency telegram! The Huaxia people took advantage of the night to attack a number of peripheral defense lines such as Nahong and Huilongwan, and at this moment they were approaching the county seat of Longling County, asking for support from the division headquarters. ”
At this moment, a soldier of the telegraph team suddenly ran over and reported, and this information instantly made Watanabe and the two break out in a cold sweat.
"Nani!? How could the Huaxia people fight so quickly? ”
"Are you sure the authenticity of the telegram?"
Chief of Staff Chiba grabbed the telegraph man by the collar and asked urgently.
"Chief of Staff... It was indeed sent by the Longling garrison, and they also reported the results of today's battle at Nantianmen, the 114th Wing was routed, and at present less than 500 people have fled back to the station, and Kikuta Daisa's artillery wing... All jade crushed. ”
Watanabe and Chiba glanced at each other, both seeing shock and chill in each other's eyes, the situation was far worse than they had imagined.
"Immediately order the 113th Wing to rush to the aid of Longling, forget it, I'll lead the team myself, Watanabe-kun?"
Chiba realized that he had some intention of overstepping, and he didn't care about those rules when it was urgent, and looked at their division commander with inquiring eyes.
"Okay, please, Chiba-kun!"
Watanabe didn't say much, but solemnly instructed, after all, now that the eyebrows are burned, if the Huaxia people take the Longling, then they will be cut off in the west of Yunnan, so the future of the troops.
……
At the same time, Chen Jize led the third regiment to break through the two lines of defense established by the Japanese army on the periphery of Longling, and the little devils did not realize that the enemy would attack so quickly, and they did not even set up the forward reconnaissance posts that should be there, and it was too late when they found out that there was a situation.
The soldiers of the 3rd Regiment used armed trucks as the vanguard of the assault and rushed into the Japanese defense area at a very fast speed, and after arriving at the designated position, the infantry on the vehicles immediately got off the vehicles with their equipment, and used the cover of night to attack the strongholds along the way, and the loose outer defense line of the Japanese army almost collapsed at the touch of a button.
When they reacted and began to gather their forces to prepare for a counterattack, the large forces following behind them simultaneously pressed the territory, divided and surrounded them, and annihilated them one by one.
The little devils couldn't resist and retreated one after another, reorganized the defense on the outskirts of Longling City, and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the enemy.
Of course, Chen Jize would not act brutally, and immediately set up a position after joining up with the large forces in the rear and shelled the Japanese defense line outside the city.
Although there was no heavy artillery, this time Liao Mingyu gave him two regiments of mortars, which were deployed 3 kilometers in front of the Japanese position, using their flexibility and concealment.
Nearly 200 60mm and 81mm mortars were fired at the same time, and you can imagine what it was like, and the Japanese position instantly turned into a sea of explosions, and the terrifying rate of fire suppressed the little devil at all.
Chen Jize showed excellent tactical skills, and he asked the troops to take platoons as units, use the communication capabilities of walkie-talkies, and take advantage of the cover of night and artillery fire to launch an attack from multiple positions outside the position.
The dark night is the best cover, and the little devil doesn't know how many enemies are coming in a panic, judging from the firepower alone, there is at least one division.
As everyone knows, Chen Jize's hands are full, and there is only a little more than one regiment, less than 3,000 people.
There was no way, the firepower of the 3rd Regiment was too fierce, and in addition, it was not clear at night, and the full firepower of semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons made the Japanese think that they were besieged by tens of thousands of people.
This misconception led directly to an even more erroneous result, and the Japanese commander ordered the troops to abandon the outlying positions to avoid being surrounded by the enemy, and gathered their forces to lean into the city, trying to rely on the houses in Longling City as a cover to continue to hold on.
He let the main force continue to feint, and the shells kept bombarding the Japanese army, and at the same time arranged more than a dozen trucks to transport the infantry to the west gate of Longling City, and launched a surprise attack from the diagonal rear to directly enter the city.
"Bang Bang ......"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The explosion was accompanied by screams, and the Japanese actually found a group of Chinese people appearing in their rear.
"The Huaxia people are coming in from behind!"
"Yaga! Plug the gap and kick them out! ”
The loss of the rear made the little devil's team begin to panic, and at this time, Chen Jize suddenly ordered a feint attack to become a strong attack, and the frontal troops immediately charged on all fronts, continuing to cause greater panic to the Japanese.
The more than 2,000 people who remained in Longling belonged to the second-line troops, and their combat effectiveness was far from the will to fight and the three major wings directly under the division and regiment.
Many of the little devils began to retreat to the rear, and on the contrary, the morale of the three regiments of soldiers rushed forward more bravely, more and more fighters rushed into the enemy positions, and the Japanese defense line was completely broken.
"I can't give the little devil time to breathe, the guard company will follow me, kill!"
Seeing that the time had come, Chen Jize took the submachine gun from the soldiers beside him and rushed forward with the guard battalion.
The Japanese defense outside the city failed, and they had no choice but to retreat into the city to engage the enemy in street fighting, and the small county town was suddenly plunged into a fierce firefight.
In the street fighting in the dark, submachine guns and shotguns dominated the absolute dominance, and the Japanese's more than one-meter-long 38 cover was particularly clumsy, even if they used the machine gun bunkers on the street corners to resist, but they still did not see enough in the face of Bazooka's powerful firepower.
It turns out that the generation difference in weapons is especially prominent in street fighting, and there is no cover that can block a single shot of a rocket, if there is... That's two shots!
The fierce battle had lasted for 3 hours, and at this moment, the 1st Main Regiment, which had rushed from the rear, also arrived at the battlefield.
Dense gunfire rang out in the sky, and the few people in the city hid in their houses and did not dare to come out.
Although the little devils are still resisting, more and more warriors are pouring into the city at this moment, and they can't stop the imminent collapse.
The battle lasted until the next morning, and the main Japanese forces were basically wiped out by the first and third regiments, and most of the little devils who did not die escaped from Longling City, leaving only a small number of Japanese troops still hiding somewhere in the city to fight the trapped beasts.
The sparse sound of gunfire was still ringing from time to time, and the warriors were gradually clearing up the remnants of the enemy, but at this time they were in some trouble.
Chen Jize followed the troops to the north of Longling City, which had been separated from the city and was surrounded by uncultivated wasteland, but there was a small village of more than a dozen wooden houses in the open land more than 200 meters away.
"What's going on?"
"Report to the head of the regiment, there is a devil squad huddled in a row yard in front, and we rushed many times but failed to get in."
