Chapter 21: The Kato Brigade (1)
"Don't think about breaking through, concentrate your forces and wait for reinforcements!"
Kato Taro shook his head and said: "It is impossible to break through at this time, Li Yunlong must have a backhand." ”。
"Understood, Captain."
Kentaro Kusada nodded, and then immediately organized troops to retreat to the brigade headquarters.
As soon as the little devil moved, he was immediately discovered by Li Yunlong.
"Regiment commander, the devil quickly shrank to the team headquarters in the middle, and it seems that he wants to concentrate his forces to hold the team headquarters!"
Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion, reported to Li Yunlong.
"I saw it!!"
Li Yunlong held the binoculars, and from the binoculars, he also saw the devils who fought and retreated quickly in the night.
"The troops continue to attack, and the second battalion should be glued together to form an encirclement, and don't fight too prominently."
Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao.
"Yes, Captain."
Zhang Dabiao nodded, and immediately stepped forward to continue to command the attack.
At this time, the Second Infantry Brigade of the Sakata Wing, which received an urgent telegram order to set off, gathered at least 1,000 men and horses, leaving less than one squadron of troops to defend Wudi City.
The rest of the devils all went out of Emperor Wu City, took Longhu Mountain and detoured to Zhaojiayu and went straight to Heyuan County.
However, it took an hour to reach the county seat of Heyuan after a rapid march.
At that time, I am afraid it was already about six o'clock in the morning.
In the county town of Heyuan, the continuous gunfire is still fierce.
"Bump Bump!!"
Duan Peng, commander of the reconnaissance company of the Independent Regiment, commanded a temporary submachine gun commando team composed of M3 submachine gun equipment, and killed all the way to the front.
At this time, it had already hit less than twenty meters in front of the gate south of the Kato Brigade Headquarters.
The bullets of the M3 submachine gun hit the annular machine gun positions built on both sides of the entrance of the Devil Brigade intensively, and pieces of fire immediately burst out.
"Brothers, hit hard!"
Duan Peng was extremely excited, little devil, I didn't expect it! ‘
"Tutubu, tutuan!!"
A total of 41 M3 submachine guns of the Yamamoto Special Forces were captured, all of which were composed of Duan Peng's reconnaissance company and a temporary submachine gun assault team composed of melee fighters temporarily drawn from the 1st Battalion.
At this time, the Gangtian squadron, which had retreated to the main gate south of the brigade headquarters, guarded the gate under the command of squadron leader Kazuo Gangda.
"Heavy machine guns, fire cross-cover, block them, kill them!!"
Kazuo Okada commanded the machine gunners in the ring machine gun positions on both sides outside the gate of the brigade headquarters, and operated the Type 92 heavy machine gun to carry out a rapid fire attack on the approaching submachine gun commando of the Independent Regiment.
"Hi !!"
The devil's heavy machine gun shooter pulled the trigger, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns on the left and right annular heavy machine gun positions immediately crossed over, forming a large area of strafing covering the fire network.
"Hide!!"
As soon as he heard the loud clatter of the devil's heavy machine gun, Duan Peng immediately shouted that the fighters of the commando team were hidden.
The fighters of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment who followed the assault team to attack and advance also hid behind the buildings on both sides of the street, or behind the stone pillars on the side of the street.
Even under the night battle, the soldiers of the independent regiment who were not in a hurry to dodge were still killed by the heavy machine gun fire of the devils.
Fortunately, night battles are the specialty of the independent regiment, but there is no situation of rushing forward in a daze on the street.
I saw Duan Peng shouting loudly, and the commandos and a battalion of soldiers behind him all dodged the shooting.
"Quick, let Wang Chenghai's artillery come up and kill the little devil's heavy machine gun for me. Hurry up, hurry up! ”
Duan Peng grabbed a commando soldier and said.
"Yes!!"
I saw that this commando fighter immediately ran backwards.
In less than half a minute, Wang Chenghai came up with two mortars.
"Duan Peng!!"
Wang Chenghai shouted when he saw Duan Peng, who had finished holding a shuttle of submachine gun bullets.
"Do you see the two ring-shaped heavy machine gun positions on the left and right outside the gate of the devil's brigade headquarters? Two shells, kill them together, are you sure? ”
Duan Peng pointed to the devil heavy machine gun that was firing in front of him, and said to Wang Chenghai urgently.
"Meaningless, look at Lao Tzu!!"
Wang Chenghai patted his chest, smiled, and then immediately beckoned the artillery soldiers to set up their guns on the spot.
"Target, ring heavy machine gun positions on both sides outside the gate of the devil brigade headquarters, two rapid fires, prepare, put!!"
Wang Chenghai didn't even use his thumb to measure the distance, and at a direct glance, he knew the distance and direction of the devil's heavy machine gun position not far away, and then ordered to load the shells and fire with a wave of his hand.
"Tom!!"
I saw that the soldiers of the two artillery companies were quick to reload the shells, and the shells were triggered to ignite the primer, and the shells immediately smashed out.
The whistling shells, with their long shell tail flames, formed a parabola over the night of the fierce battle, and then smashed heavily into the two heavy machine gun positions of the devils.
"Boom !!"
The huge explosion directly blew up the two ring-shaped heavy machine gun positions outside the gate of the devil's brigade headquarters, causing bursts of smoke and dust.
The soldiers of the independent regiment with good eyes could see the stumps and severed arms of the devil machine gunners and parts of the machine guns flying into the air in the explosion.
"Rush!!"
Seeing the two ring-shaped heavy machine gun positions outside the gate of the Devil Brigade Headquarters, Duan Peng immediately commanded the assault team to use M3 submachine guns to assault and open the way.
Zhang Dabiao commanded a battalion of soldiers to cover the attack and advance, and all of a sudden, he quickly entered the headquarters of the devil's brigade.
At this time, the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment, under the command of Shen Quan, surrounded the rest of the Devil's Brigade Headquarters on three sides, and then used cluster grenades to blow up the courtyard walls around the Devil's Brigade Headquarters, and then each unit attacked it one after another.
Taro Kato was on the roof of the brigade headquarters at this time, and he had already seen the soldiers of the independent regiment who had attacked the brigade headquarters.
"Li Yunlong's troops are so strong in combat! Damn it!! ”
Kato Taro gritted his teeth and ordered Kentaro Kusada, the chief of staff of the brigade, to say: "Kusada-san, you personally supervise the battle, and you must guard the brigade headquarters." ”。
"Captain, while we still have some men, it is better to concentrate our forces to counterattack and break out of the encirclement while the situation is over."
Kentaro Kusada suggested urgently: "Li Yunlong wouldn't have thought that we would do this, maybe we could break through." ”。
"It's too late, concentrate your forces and give me the brigade headquarters."
Taro Kato shook his head, how could he break through now?
What's more, it is even more difficult to break through at night.
"What are you waiting for, go and supervise the battle!!"
Seeing Kentaro Kusada's hesitant look, Taro Kato ordered sternly.
"Yes, Captain."
Kentaro Kusada had no choice but to go down and supervise the battle.
At this time, the shouting of killing has spread throughout the headquarters of the devil brigade.
The devils of more than 500 remnants, after the battle of retreating to the brigade headquarters at this time, only less than one squadron of troops remained!
The army's morale was broken, and the total annihilation of Kato's brigade was a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible to wait for the time when the devil reinforcements who set out from Wudi City to reinforce arrived.
