459 Famous Earthquake North China - Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle (9)
The fighting in the mountains and forests is intensifying, and the casualties of the Japanese army are spreading, but the devil seems to have made up his mind this time, even if it is at any cost, to take the independent regiment in one go.
Until 12 noon.
In the rear of the Japanese army, the Japanese brigades reinforced from all over the world, and the temporary joint command headquarters, the captains of the devil brigade originally boasted that they had destroyed the independent regiment in one fell swoop before 12 o'clock.
As a result, more than six hours have passed since the attack began at six o'clock in the morning.
The Japanese puppet army has not even been able to completely take the mountainous areas outside Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, and at this moment, the battle continues at the end of the mountainous area.
"Report to the sir, the number of temporary wounded soldiers has expanded to more than 3,500 people, and the bandages, gauze, and medicines needed for medical treatment have long been exhausted, and many of the wounded are in a bad condition, especially the wounds hit by the special red-headed bullets of the Eighth Route Army, if they cannot be treated in time, the wounds will soon deteriorate, and in serious cases, they will even be life-threatening."
The report of the devil military doctor added another layer of frost to the hearts of the Japanese captains of the temporary joint command.
"The county seat and the stronghold in the rear have been contacted, when will the medicines and materials be delivered?"
The captain of the devil team asked anxiously.
A devil officer replied: "The garrison of the stronghold said that the transport team had already set off, but I don't know why, and it has not yet arrived." ”
The captain of the devil brigade said: "The transportation of medicines and materials is carried out by multiple routes at the same time, even if there is a problem in one place, there can't be a problem everywhere, right?" ”
Before the words fell, a signal soldier hurriedly came to report:
"Report to the chief, in the direction of the Southern Suburbs Highway, the Imperial North Highway, and the Hushan Avenue, the transport teams have sent urgent calls for help, and they were ambushed by the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the way."
"Yaga!"
The captains of the devil brigade suddenly became angry.
"What the hell is going on with the strongholds along the highways? There will be an eight-way ambush on the way, why didn't the news be delivered earlier? ”
How did the poor devil captains know that around the base of this independent regiment, the devil puppet army in small and medium-sized strongholds had long been frightened by the sniper platoon, and they did not dare to leave the stronghold easily.
This naturally gave the comrades of the surrounding local troops, the guerrilla units, the opportunity.
Seeing the devil's convoy passing by, how could these comrades miss the opportunity, and in line with the idea of supporting the independent regiment from the periphery, they ambushed one after another in the middle to prevent the devil's convoy from reinforcing it.
So until now, the Devil's Wounded Soldiers' Shelter has not received the slightest reinforcement of medicine and supplies.
The form is becoming more and more severe, so that the captains of the devil brigade are at a loss in the face of each other.
"At present, we are running out of medicines, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger, it took more than six hours, and we have not been able to reach Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, continue to march, the situation is not in our favor, we still report the situation to the general truthfully, and then listen to the general's instructions!"
The captain of the devil brigade proposed.
Soon, the specific news of the battle situation was transmitted back to the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan City through the radio.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who learned the news, did not expect this small independent group to be more tricky than he expected, and after a moment of silence, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered:
"Immediately communicate with the Provisional Joint Command and tell the captains that the situation of our army is difficult at the moment, and the situation of the independent regiment is equally difficult, and now is the time to go all out, and we must not fail in success!"
The implication is to keep attacking, and even if you grit your teeth, you have to keep attacking.
After the order was conveyed to the temporary joint command headquarters, the captains of the devil brigade did not hesitate to continue the attack, and urged all front-line combat units to launch a strong attack at any cost and try to attack Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang in the shortest possible time.
West Village.
Temporary Command.
Kong Jie's eyes were fixed on the combat map, holding a pencil in his right hand, and he was drawing on the map.
A moment ago, news came from the front-line combat units in Zhangjiazhuang and Xicun that the Japanese army had intensified its offensive, and the momentum of the offensive was even more fierce than before, and even launched a charge at any cost.
With the absolute superiority of troops, after the Japanese army launched a strong attack, the blocking troops of the independent regiment suffered a lot of casualties.
Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, is also at the temporary headquarters at this moment.
This time, the 3rd Battalion, as a mobile unit, temporarily stayed at the central intersection of Niukou Village, Zhangjiazhuang, and Xicun, waiting for Kong Jie's instructions at any time.
Seeing that the situation on the front line was getting more and more tragic, the commander of the third battalion could not sit still for a long time.
The battle of the other four battalions is in full swing!
He can't just watch the three battalions, right?
"Captain!" Wang Huaibao spoke again, his words full of grievances.
Not long ago, Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company, and Chen Dalian, the instructor, came, and the cavalry company rushed to the front line to fight without horses.
The whole regiment was fighting, and even the comrades of the cooking squad were armed with weapons and equipment.
There were only three battalions left of him.
Kong Jie glanced up at Wang Huaibao and said calmly: "What's the hurry?" The more this time, as a commander, the more you have to hold your breath. ”
"Right now, the little devil is ruthless, and it seems that he wants to attack at any cost and solve it quickly."
"One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, this is the ancient tactical thinking, and it is not outdated now."
"The little devil wants to work hard, the momentum is flourishing right now, if we also fight hard, casualties will definitely be unavoidable, it is better to avoid the edge for the time being, and drag the devil's momentum down."
"That's it, Commander of the Third Battalion."
"Here!" Wang Huaichang hurriedly responded.
Kong Jie said: "The three battalions immediately divided into two routes and rushed to Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang as a rearguard force to cover the troops of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang to withdraw to the village. ”
"Yes!" Wang Huaibao returned the military salute, smiled, and finally had a battle.
After Wang Huaibao left, Kong Jie immediately asked the communications corps to contact the 1st and 4th Battalions of Shangxi Cong and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of Zhangjiazhuang with the help of short-wave radios, and issued an order for the troops on both sides to immediately retreat under the cover of artillery fire from the artillery companies.
"At present, the Japanese army launched a strong attack, our army retreated, coupled with the cover of artillery fire, after the three battalions were broken, in the eyes of the Japanese army, it was probably my independent regiment that could not stop the attack of his little devil, so it was defeated."
"In addition, his little devil chased my independent regiment all the way, and this plan to lure the enemy into the depths can be considered a success."
"The next step is to attract the devils to the West Village and Zhangjiazhuang, and use the defense construction to drag down the momentum of the devils' attack."
"Then decline, three and exhaustion, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy attacks and I defend, the enemy retreats and I advance, and the enemy defends and I attack."
"When the devil's momentum is exhausted, the three armies are tired, and the plan to lure the enemy deep is successful, Lao Ding and Lao Kong, these two guys, can always go back in such a long time, right?"
"When the time comes, you will be able to defeat the devil's offensive in one fell swoop, or you can say that the best defense is to attack!"
Kong Jie analyzed the situation in his own words, and became more and more confident.
In addition, I thought of the previous scout's report, saying that the devil's artillery team is still following up.
This made Kong Jie puzzled, looking at the direction of the Japanese army's base camp, and said suspiciously: "Ye Min, this kid, what did he do with the commando?" ”
Kong Jie was not worried about the safety of the commando.
With Ye Min's calmness and the toughness of the commandos, even if they fail to complete the task in this vast mountainous battle, they will never be easily wiped out by the Japanese army.
……
Just as Kong Jie was thinking about the battle situation in each part, in the mountains on the left flank of Xicun, Ding Wei, the commander of the new regiment, was leading the main force of the new regiment to march in the direction of Xicun.
In order to deal with the plan set a few hours ago with Kong Jie and Li Yunlong to lure the enemy deep and outflank the two wings.
Ding Wei led the soldiers of the new regiment to set out from the garrison and make a detour from the mountainous area, and in the rapid march of nearly three hours, the soldiers carried equipment and weapons and marched a distance of nearly 20 kilometers.
On the other side, in the mountainous area on the right flank of Zhangjiazhuang, Li Yunlong, the commander of the New Second Regiment, also led the main force of the New Second Regiment to attack in a roundabout way for more than three hours.
This time, the devils mainly came to destroy the independent regiment, and for the new 1st regiment and the new 2nd regiment, they only arranged some blocking troops on the nearest road.
The Japanese did not expect the new 1st and 2nd regiments to make a long detour.
In addition, the Japanese army was probably confident that it could quickly destroy the independent regiment, so it did not deliberately arrange troops to deal with the new 1st and 2nd regiments.
This gave Li Yunlong and Ding Wei the opportunity to secretly send troops.
On the way to the attack, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong were non-stop, and both of them were a little worried about Kong Jie.
Although the two believe that today's independent regiment is no longer what it used to be, but after all, the devil is overwhelmed by heavy troops this time, who knows what the final result will be?
In addition, this long-distance attack, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei gave an order, and the heavy weapons or something were directly given up to ensure the speed of the team's attack.
The bulky radio station was naturally kept at the station, so on the way to the attack, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei could not contact Kong Jie's headquarters at all.
What is the current situation of the independent group, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei are not clear.
I can only choose to believe that Kong Jie can block the Japanese attack and implement the tactic of luring the enemy into the depths.
"Lao Kong, Lao Kong, you have to hold on, you kid still owes me a drink!"
Endured exhaustion and led the soldiers of the new second regiment to continue to run on the way, Li Yunlong said secretly in his heart.
After giving the order for a short rest, Ding Wei gave the order to march again: "Comrades, if we arrive a minute late, the comrades of the Independent Regiment may sacrifice one more, everyone work harder, speed up!" ”
……
Brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander and political commissar learned from Kong Jie's headquarters about the latest battle situation in the area of Niukou Village through radio communication.
The political commissar expressed concern about the battle situation, "I didn't expect the little devil to behave so crazy in order to eliminate the independent regiment." ”
"This kind of fighting is simply playing with life, this little devil is not afraid that the reinforcements around us will take the opportunity to surround and eat these nine brigades?"
The brigade commander said: "Yoshio Shinozuka is very scheming, and I think he made this desperate momentum, ostensibly to quickly destroy the independent regiment.
Secretly, he still wanted to lure us into attacking, and he still wanted to induce our army to launch a decisive battle in the Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang areas.
After all, the two brigades he dispatched from Taiyuan City are still around! ”
The political commissar smiled bitterly: "That's the truth, it's just that in this way, the pressure is all on Kong Jie's body." ”
"yes!" The brigade commander nodded, and said with a smile: "It's just that you look at Kong Jie's kid, people don't mean to worry at all." ”
"What did Kong Jie say in the previous communication? The plan to lure the enemy deep into the country has been completed, and after waiting for the new 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment to return to their positions, they can immediately launch a joint offensive in the Iron Triangle. ”
"Let's worry about this and worry about that here, but Kong Jie regards the battle in front of him as a stage for his Iron Triangle to shine!"
The political commissar said happily: "That's right, I really don't know if this kid Kong Jie has a big heart, or if he really has this confidence." ”
"We'll see!" The brigade commander laughed.
……
West Village.
Now the perspective has to be switched to the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, which is still cowering in the trench fortifications.
The battle on the outskirts of the mountain area had been more than six hours, but the trees in the mountain pass still did not dare to move.
Not to mention any intermediate flowering tactics.
In these six hours, Yamaguchi gritted his teeth and tried to break out of the encirclement and join forces with the Japanese troops attacking from the periphery.
As a result, as soon as the troops left the fortifications, they encountered various mines planted by the soldiers.
Coupled with the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who stayed behind, after a round of bombardment by 50 small artillery, the devils of the Fourth Brigade were like frightened birds, and hurriedly retreated to the trench fortifications.
It was not until the 1st and 4th Battalions of the Independent Regiment in the West Village, including the 3rd Battalion that rushed to support, all withdrew to the village, and the teams that had originally contained the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army also retreated.
Yamaguchi still did not dare to leave the fortifications at the first time.
After all the attacking Japanese troops arrived, the scouts on the mountain pass detected the situation, and only then did they determine that the Eighth Route Army had all retreated.
Yamaguchi left the fortifications with the remaining 700 devils of the 4th Brigade and joined up with the attacking Japanese troops.
Yamaguchi, who was the commander of the brigade, was escorted by the guards and rushed all the way to the temporary joint headquarters in the rear of the devil.
The captains of the Devil Brigade of the Temporary Joint Command saluted one after another.
bluntly said, "With the arrival of His Excellency the brigade commander, he finally has a backbone." ”
But in fact, the looks of these devil captains who looked at Yamaguchi in private were all strange, with a little mockery.
The fourth mixed brigade of the dignified empire can fight like this, and the turtle who was bullied by the independent regiment cowered in the fortifications and did not dare to show his head, there is no one.
But that's far from the end.
It was not long before the unlucky mountain pass arrived at the temporary joint command under the escort of the guards.
Under the leadership of Ye Min, the assault team infiltrated all the way and successfully touched the rear of the Japanese army, near the temporary joint headquarters.
"Vice, the target point is about 600 meters away, and many antennas have been found around it, and the entire camp is also very hidden, if you don't look carefully, it will be difficult to find.
There is a constant flow of communications troops coming and going.
There are devil troops guarding in all directions.
Let's go any further, and it's easy to be discovered.
It can be determined that it is the temporary joint command in the mouth of the puppet army soldiers. ”
Hearing this, the team members all showed excitement, and Cao Zheng took the lead in speaking: "Deputy team, let's fight!" With our 50 cannon, as long as it hits, two cannons can knock it out. ”
Ye Min thought for a moment, nodded, and arranged: "The distance of about six hundred meters is not close, and our small cannon is estimated to have to add a projectile pack." ”
"Right now, in the rear of the devil, there is a possibility that the Japanese army will be surrounded at any time, and if we want to evacuate smoothly after the shot, we only have one chance to make a move."
"In this way, in order to ensure the hit rate, we will use all the ten 50 small cannons we brought out this time, and lock on to the target from multiple directions in groups of three."
"Now the watch, at twelve twenty-five o'clock, fire together, finish the shot, and retreat immediately!"
"Yes!"
The order was issued, and the team members were quickly divided into ten artillery groups in groups of three, and then scattered in all directions around the target point, began to choose a position to set up 50 small guns, corrected the firing of Zhu Yuan, and finally waited for the estimated time point for firing the artillery.
When the second hand clicks for the last time on the 12 o'clock scale.
At 12:25 p.m., the temporary leader of the 10 shelling teams waved his hand and gave the order to open fire.
Boom Boom Boom –
The sound of a volley of artillery shots was heard, followed by an earth-shattering explosion in the area of the target point, and the fierce artillery fire engulfed the Japanese Temporary Joint Command in an instant......
