Chapter 558: We're Rich!

By order of the North China Front Command. Diaphragm

The Devil Puppet Army in Gaoyang County and the 11th Independent Infantry Wing of the 26th Division of the Datong Garrison Mongolian Army quickly dispatched and came to reinforce in the direction of Miaoergou.

At this time, the battle of Miaoergou was in full swing.

The topography of Miao'er Ditch is a large long bend, with undulating valleys on both sides, and the railway passes through the bottom of the ditch.

The two columns of the devil's army were exactly separated by the big long bend, with the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing at one end and the 3rd Infantry Wing at this end.

At the commanding heights of the bend, the Eighth Route Army placed several heavy machine guns, and the devil's infantry wanted to rush over to reinforce the artillery, but they were all shot at the bend.

Boom Boom Boom ......

At this moment, two battalions of 82-mm mortars and 60-mm mortars of the new regiment opened fire. Diaphragm

24 82-mm mortars and 36 60-mm mortars began firing at full speed.

The 60mm mortar can fire up to 30 rounds per minute, while the 82mm mortar can also fire 20 rounds per minute.

The artillery had already measured and marked the shooting elements in advance, and not only the rate of fire was fast, but also very accurate.

Eight 82-mm mortars and 12 60-mm mortars provided artillery support to the fighters of the 4th and 5th regiments of the 2nd Independent Brigade.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Dense explosions fell on the railway, and the explosions continued to rise, which, combined with the dense explosion of grenades, completely enveloped almost the entire bottom of the ditch in gunsmoke.

60-mm mortar shells are much more powerful than grenades, and 82-mm mortar shells are even more lethal. Diaphragm

Coupled with the grenades that kept being thrown, the devils suffered heavy casualties for a while.

Although the devil soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Wing are the elite of the elite, they are not iron-clad after all, they are also flesh and blood, and they will also die if they are hit by bombs and bullets.

Browning M1917 heavy machine guns and 20mm guns are firing continuously.

The devils who were hit by machine shells were directly beaten into lumps of minced meat, and some 20-mm shells even shot through three devils in a row.

In the Wind Chaser, Takahashi Manzo and Seiichi Yamashita who commanded the carriage were a little confused when they saw this scene.

"This is the firepower of the Eighth Route Army?"

"How is that possible?" Diaphragm

Watch as the locust warriors of the 3rd Infantry Wing fall one by one under the ferocious fire of the ambushed Eighth Route Army, and the smoke of the explosion of shells and grenades almost fills the ravine.

This firepower alone is stronger than that of the 5th Infantry Wing.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army occupies the advantage of the terrain on both sides, which is as strong as the 5th Infantry Wing, and it can only be beaten passively.

"Immediately request tactical guidance from Admiral Okamura!"

"Suppress enemy fire on the hills on both sides and provide fire support for the infantry!"

Seeing that the locust samurai of the 5th Infantry Wing suffered heavy casualties under the strong fire of the Eighth Road, Seiichi Yamashita was furious.

Takahashi Mitsuzo on the side looked nervous, and he couldn't see the situation of his 5th Heavy Artillery Wing clearly from here, but judging from the sound of gunfire, the battle over there was also extremely fierce. Diaphragm

"Baga, the North China Front is a bunch of rubbish!"

"Actually let Tubalu ambush the locust army here!"

Takahashi Manzo, who has always been determined, couldn't help but scold at this time.

Before the cannon of the Chasing Wind armored train could fire, Yamashita Seiichi saw something on the hill on the left side flying towards the command car through the observation hole.

"Takahashi-kun, be careful!"

Seiichi Yamashita subconsciously pressed Takahashi Manzo under him.

But it was too late. Diaphragm

A rocket hit the command compartment, accompanied by a loud bang, Takahashi Mitsuzo and the devils who were still in a daze and operated the heavy machine gun, only felt the fire flashing in front of them, and then they didn't react to anything, and they were killed in the violent explosion.

Although the engineers of the Eighth Route Army planted explosives on the railroad tracks specifically to deal with the last armored train of the devils.

But because the devil's armored train was far away from the previous train, it stopped before the devil's armored train could reach the explosive point.

This allowed Seiichi Yamashita and Takahashi Manzo to live for a while longer.

However, Battalion Commander Wang had already received a telegram from the regimental headquarters, knowing in advance that the devil had added a heavy armored train to the heavy artillery wing.

So arrange 5 groups of bazooka soldiers, and 5 20mm machine guns, specially used to deal with the devil's heavy armored train.

The deputy company commander who was in charge of leading the team did an in-depth study and analysis of how to fight devils in heavy armored trains based on intelligence before the war. Diaphragm

To fight a snake and a seven-inch heavy armored train that fights devils, you have to hit its command car first.

At first, the fire platoon and the bazooka soldiers were in the wrong position, and the battle began for a while before the fighters came to the flank of the Devil's armored train with 20-mm machine guns and bazooka.

At this time, the heavy machine-gun fire and artillery fire of the Devil's heavy armored train were supporting the 3rd Wing in front, firing at Hills 3 and 4.

The defense of the devil's armored train, in front of Super Bazooka, is as brittle as paper.

Immediately afterward, several successive rocket tracks streaked through the air, hitting the armored train carriage of the devil.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Another rocket missed, and three more rockets hit the devil's compartment, and the smoke of gunpowder burst out with explosive fireballs. Diaphragm

One of the rockets hit the ammunition compartment in the armor of the armored train's artillery car, and more than 100 shells placed in it exploded instantly, and the whole earth was shattered by a boom, and the whole devil's heavy armored train was blown in two.

Immediately afterward, more shells were detonated, triggering a series of explosions that set the entire armored train on fire.

The explosion was so violent that the devils in the armored train didn't have time to escape, and they were blown to pieces in the explosion.

This movement instantly attracted the attention of the Eighth Route Army and Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, and they all looked here.

The faces of the devils who saw this scene changed drastically, and the devils all knew that the two wing commanders were on that armored train.

"Avenge the Captain!"

"Kill, give!" Diaphragm

The devils of the 3rd Infantry Wing were very colorful, and once again organized their troops to launch a counter-charge towards the commanding heights of the Eighth Route Army.

Because the location of the devil is at the bottom of the ditch, there is no way to avoid it, and the 360-degree blind spot is completely suppressed by the fire of the two battalions of the new regiment.

And the two battalions of the new regiment, each infantry squad has very strong and uniform firepower, and the devils can't even find weak points, let alone break through.

One of the devils in the squad, under the cover of machine guns and grenadiers, rushed to a commanding height on Hill 3.

Once the devils take this high ground, then the devils can set up light and heavy machine guns on this high ground to cover the devils who are still alive at the bottom of the ditch to break through.

Seeing that the devil is about to take this high ground.

At the last moment, two flamethrowers with flamethrowers on their backs suddenly appeared at the high ground and pulled the trigger of the flame-spraying towards the devil who rushed up the steep slope. Diaphragm

The flames were like two fiery dragons, and they swept towards the devil in an instant.

"Ahh

Immediately afterwards, the devil was covered in flames, let out a scream like killing a pig, and tumbled down the steep slope to the bottom of the ditch.

However, the rolling of the devils did not extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the flames burned more and more.

A nearby platoon rushed to reinforce and stabilized the hill, making it impossible for the devil to escape.

The battle lasted for nearly 20 minutes, and most of the casualties were already inflicted, whether it was the devil infantry or the devil artillery.

The two battalions of the new 2nd Regiment had sufficient ammunition and would have no problem fighting for a few more hours, while the soldiers of the 4th and 5th regiments of the 2nd Brigade took out all the ammunition at the bottom of the box. Diaphragm

Plenty of ammunition and strong firepower.

In the condescending terrain, even if the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing are the troops of the 1st Devil's Division, and their combat effectiveness can be called strong, there is no possibility of turning the tables.

The devil once again organized a team to carry out a counterattack on the mountain, but dozens of grenades fell down, and in the violent explosion and smoke, the devil was suddenly blown up.

In the Command.

Camp Commander Wang looked at the ravine lying full of devil corpses, and felt that it was almost time to go down and harvest corn.

The devil's reinforcements must be rushing here at this time.

"Give me the order, blow the trumpet!" Diaphragm

"All of them are ......"

As Battalion Commander Wang's order was issued, the sound of a rapid charge was heard amid explosions and gunfire.

Once the trumpet was sounded, the revolutionary fighters did not hesitate to shed blood and sacrifice to rush forward until they achieved the final victory.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The moment the horn sounded, countless warriors rose from the top of the slope, and the warriors all over the mountains rushed down towards the devil at the bottom of the ditch.

The shouting and killing sound that rushed into the sky was like a huge pounce, piercing through the clouds and cracking stones. Diaphragm

The killing intent of the devil condensed to the peak at this moment.

All of them are ruthless and crazy, like wild beasts roaring filial piety, and the warriors have only one thought in their minds, kill all the devils!

The devils who were pretending to be dead on the ground stood up one after another, and met them with rifles, but the next second they were shot into a bloody sieve by the submachine gunners who rushed to the front.

The devil's machine gun mount shot at the surging soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in a tricky position, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fell four or five in an instant.

Ding!

The two bullets hit the steel helmet on the Devil's Heavy head almost simultaneously, and two snipers at the high ground fired at the Devil's Heavy almost simultaneously.

Each squad is equipped with a sniper rifle, which is standard for all infantry battalions of the new regiment. Diaphragm

Under the cover of sniping from the commanding heights and machine-gun fire, the soldiers successfully rushed to the bottom of the ditch and started a hand-to-hand battle with the remaining devils.

But.

The two battalions of the new regiment did not fight with the devils, but used the advantages of submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles to shoot the devils.

The fighters of the 4th and 5th regiments did not have submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles, so they could only engage in white-knuckle combat with the devils.

However, because the devil artillery did not have many rifles, machine guns and other weapons and equipment, and the devil artillery had already suffered most of the casualties, it was not the opponent of the Eighth Route Army at all.

The battle lasted another 15 minutes, and in less than an hour, the Japanese 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing were all annihilated in Miaoergou.

The fighters of the 2nd Brigade lifted the tarpaulin on the train, revealing a 150-mm cannon and a 240-mm heavy cannon. Diaphragm

"Haha... It's all cannons! ”

"There are still shells over here!"

……

"We're rich!"

Looking at the cannons on the train, a company commander of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade couldn't help but shout excitedly.
