279 One night of bloody battle, destroy another division (two-in-one big chapter asks for a monthly pass)
"Observing Report 35, there are a large number of little devils in our area, and the preliminary estimate is no less than hundreds." The observation post lurking 3 kilometers south of Pawabi was the first to spot the movements of the 33rd Division and began to report the information to the headquarters.
Gao Jianwu received the latest information and smiled slightly.
The 33rd Division wants to escape now, where can it be so easy? Gao Jianwu, who had long expected the outcome of this battle, how could he forget such an ending?
He had already prepared a big dish for the 33rd Division.
Zhang Dabiao's Fourth Attack Group, which had never appeared on the battlefield, had already given full play to the traditional housekeeping skills of the 8th Route at this moment, carried out a large-scale tactical intersperse, and directly appeared 5 kilometers behind the 33rd Division.
The 5 main infantry battalions formed a big pocket, blocking the retreat of the 33rd Division!
Although the 75-mm howitzer artillery battalion failed to follow, it was only the main battalion of the expeditionary force group, which was armed to the extreme infantry to the present, and the battalion had three major firepower companies, a company of 12 80mm mortars, a company of 12 37mm anti-tank anti-tank anti-aircraft guns, and a company of 12 heavy machine guns.
Not to mention that at the company level, the expeditionary force cluster was equipped with 60-mm mortars and light machine guns to the squad. Each company also has a fire platoon of three 80-mm mortars and three Bazooka rocket launchers.
It is equivalent to a main battalion with nearly 70 artillery pieces of various types and more than 40 light and heavy machine guns!
With such a powerful firepower, before the Jindi crossed by Gao Jianwu, even the 386th Brigade was not so rich!
Now Gao Jianwu put the 4th Attack Group with 5 main battalions on the retreat of the 33rd Division, and naturally wanted to wipe out the right army of the 33rd Division!
When the first group of little devils appeared in the ambush of Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, vaguely looking at the number of people who only looked like a squadron, Zheng Shaoze, the commander of the first battalion, didn't care at all, and directly put them over, about 3 kilometers behind him, on both sides of the road, now they were all the ambush team of the fourth attack group!
At the end of the road, there is a fire position composed of a battle defense artillery company and a heavy machine gun company, and now the road is completely blocked layer by layer with sandbags, and under the intertwining of the fire of the war defense artillery and heavy machine guns, not to mention that people can't get through, it is difficult for even the little devil Type 97 tank to think about it!
In order to make the most of the 33rd Division, this time Gao Jianwu issued an order to the front-line commanders above the battalion company to capture the little devil Zuoguan and above as alive as possible, after all, this is a reorganized division of 9 wings, although there are only two generals, but there are more than a dozen left officers, if a wave can be captured alive, this time after the multi-party joint operation bonus, the number of explosive equipment will be quite terrifying!
The expeditionary force cluster that brings people to 4 times and has a 150% bonus by itself, and if you add the allied bonus, it is 5 times!
This is not the end, the first regiment of Wei Wei, which has just been trained into the army, has now been pulled out by Gao Jianwu, and now it is following behind Ding Wei's first attack group, and is chasing the right route army of the 33rd Division that has fled very vigorously.
The stacking bonus can be as much as 11 times!
With a 33rd division, Gao Jianwu was able to achieve the results of 11 divisions!
What a horrible harvest!
If you can still capture the little devil's general Zuoguan alive, it is equivalent to annihilating the little devil's front army in terms of officer explosives!
So for this battle, Gao Jianwu is looking forward to it.
......
Deqin Dengpei was originally a little worried about Gao Jianwu's sudden transfer of his first regiment to attack the little devils.
After all, he knew very well that those people under him had only been training for a long time, and they had no combat experience at all, and in the face of such a big war, if they didn't do well, the whole army would be wiped out and become cannon fodder.
He has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and this is what Daiying did, and it was the same when the little devil came, even the Allied Command that was established later was similar, for the weak, it seemed that their fate was to become a pawn in the hands of others.
Deqin Dengpei came over with the first regiment, wanting to fight for it at a critical time, but he never expected that Gao Jianwu did not expect them to contribute, but used it as a tool man and mascot.
So at the beginning of the war, let them hide behind, watch the powerful artillery of the Sky Expeditionary Force cluster wreak havoc on the little devils, and make the officers and soldiers of the First Regiment of the Quanwei People's Army boil with enthusiasm, and shout one by one to go to the front line, even Deqin Dengpei is a little unstoppable!
When it was time for the general attack, Ding Wei ordered the first regiment of Deqin Dengpei to follow the 5th battalion and 3rd company of the first attack group to clean up the battlefield and pick up leaks, and all the officers and soldiers of the first regiment rushed to the battlefield in high spirits.
In their concept, there seems to be no such thing as a captive, and they don't even ask about it, so that Zhang Peiqi, the commander of the 3rd Company who served as their "bodyguard" all the way, feels that something is wrong, and it seems that these people are more like outlaws.
However, Zhang Peiqi has nothing to sympathize with for the little devils, and they all deserve to die.
The little devils encountered by the first regiment on the way to the charge were swept by the main force, and they were able to dodge the rest in the dark, at most the size of the squad level, although it also caused some trouble to the first regiment, and dozens of them were killed and wounded by sneak attacks in the dark.
Under the same conditions of individual weapons, none of the 5 soldiers of the People's Army who have just formed an army can defeat 1 little devil, but with Zhang Peiqi and them, once the little devil exposes the target, go up to a burst of machine gun strafing and bazooka bombardment, and directly solve the battle!
This made the soldiers of the People's Army see the huge gap between themselves and their opponents on the battlefield and with the expeditionary force!
Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers began to be in awe of the expeditionary force.
Originally, they thought that the little devil was not good, so they were beaten by the expeditionary force, as if they were manipulated by others, and there was an illusory illusion that I am on the same line, and when it was their turn, they found that the little devil was still their invincible little devil, but the expeditionary force that usually looked approachable was the real invincible god of war on the battlefield!
Gao Jianwu didn't expect to pull the recruits of the People's Army to the battlefield, originally just to earn a little bonus opportunity, but he didn't expect that there would be additional income, which left a deep impression on them for the expeditionary force.
In this way, the cooperation between the expeditionary force and the people's army was greatly promoted. In the long years that followed, it played an unexpected role.
......
Compared with the momentum of the expeditionary force, Sakurai Province Mitsumi and Anteng Nobunaga, who commanded the retreat, had already avoided the main road and burrowed into the jungle at this moment. Beside them, in addition to a squadron to escort them, a communications team with a radio on their backs followed them.
Even if they haven't found out that the back road has been cut off by someone now, Sakurai and Anten Nobunaga are not ordinary people, and in their opinion, it is very unsafe to go back along the same road, so they can only go through the jungle in the direction of the Left Army, join up with the Left Army that has not yet been attacked, and then kill back.
Now only about 15 kilometers away from Kawagan in a straight line, Sakurai Mitsuwa Anten Nobunaga was confident that he could escape the chase and join the left army safely.
The commander of the Second Division of the Independent Army, Deqin Pisong, who was with them, was familiar with the terrain and was an out-and-out head snake, and at this moment he skillfully drilled into the small roads in front and approached to the west!
They did not expect that 2 kilometers to the west of them, at this moment, the reconnaissance detachment of Song Tiecheng's commando team had opened a large net with a width of 3 kilometers and lurked in the dense forest.
After Gao Jianwu's southern expedition to the north, although the number of Song Tiecheng's commandos has not exceeded 200, the combat effectiveness has now been increased several times, and Song Tiecheng, who has always been reluctant to go to the army, has gradually selected top commandos from the whole army to replace the commandos under the guidance of Gao Jianwu, and has transformed the commando into the first special force of the Eighth Route and even the country in accordance with the way Gao Jianwu thinks of the special forces.
Including 1 reconnaissance detachment, 3 assault detachments and 1 tactical strike detachment, especially the tactical strike detachment, actually let Song Tiecheng
2 team members with pilot experience and 5 tank crew members, as well as some blasting experts and even small boat pilots were brought in.
It can be said that the sparrow is small, and it has all kinds of organs.
Each detachment is equipped with a walkie-talkie, and each commando is equipped with a standard armament of AK47s and Browning*** pistols, in addition to a weapon of your choice, according to personal preference, to ensure that each detachment has at least 4 bazookas, two sniper rifles, 4 machine guns.
Compared with the infantry company of the main battalion, which is mainly equipped with Garand rifles, Song Tiecheng's commando team is much stronger.
Really fighting in the jungle, if the artillery fire of the main battalion does not work, Song Tiecheng is even confident that he can use his commando team to fight a main battalion!
At this moment, Song Tiecheng led three assault detachments to squat in the dense forest 2 kilometers east of Kawagan, and after laying up tarpaulins one by one, he fell into the grass and pretended to sleep, waiting for the reconnaissance detachment to send a signal.
They had been lurking here long before the battle began, and if they couldn't wait for the little devil who fled west, Song Tiecheng would wait for an opportunity to carry out a decapitation operation on the headquarters of the little devil's left army in the early hours of the morning!
Therefore, Sakurai could not have dreamed that Gao Jianwu had already prepared a net for all his actions. I didn't think about leaving him a chance to live.
......
Seeing that nearly five or six thousand little devils have entered the encirclement. Zhang Dabiao decisively issued the order to attack. In an encirclement that stretches for almost 3 km. The 4th Attack Group suddenly opened fire and strafed the imps. For a while, the sound of machine guns, rifles and rocket launchers exploding came and went, knocking down the little devils who fled in a hurry one by one like mowing grass.
Seeing that the little devil was not in the right direction, he began to run around and run into the dense forest. Even in the dense forest, there was machine gun and rifle fire, but they still felt much safer in the dense forest than being beaten passively on the road.
The 33rd Division, which had been defeated, was defeated, and thousands of people fled into the dense forests on both sides at this moment, Zhang Dabiao didn't expect that the little devil didn't choose to fight to the end this time. Instead, they fled into the jungle and found their own way out, which really made them escape a lot.
After all, the number of Zhang Dabiao's troops is not too large now, and they can't form a tight blocking network, and in the face of too many little devils, they have fled into the dense forest, as long as they are not eliminated on the spot, they will soon disappear.
The right army of the 33rd Division was completely defeated in this way, although it was not eaten by the whole army, and there were as many as three or four thousand little devils who fled through the dense forest, but all the heavy weapons and everything were discarded, and what was waiting for these little devils would be the end of a full-scale hunt!
In particular, the First Regiment of the People's Army, which had just entered the battlefield, had not caught any major combat opportunities at all, and at this moment they heard that the little devils had escaped from the encirclement and entered the dense forest, and one by one they asked Dechen Dengpei to fight and chase after them.
Deqin Dengpei couldn't do it, and after kicking the ball to Gao Jianwu, Gao Jianwu thought about it a little and felt that it was a good thing.
With these local snakes who are familiar with the local terrain, he dismantled Zhang Peiqi's company, which originally followed the first regiment to undertake the task of bodyguards, into a squad, and each squad followed a company of the first regiment to act, and the soldiers were divided into 12 ways to pursue!
With the leadership of the elite soldiers of the expeditionary force, even if they gather into a small team, they can fight a dozen when they encounter the rout of the little devils, and they can escape even if they are not good!
For these rookies of the People's Army, Gao Jianwu is not willing to let them become cannon fodder just after training, and he is still waiting for these people to block the people who bring Ying.
So before these rookies grew up, Gao Jianwu let others take them. These thousands of small days that were defeated and scattered should be used as a whetstone for the 1st Regiment.
......
When the news of the encounter of the Right Route Army with a major enemy reached the Left Route Army of the 33rd Division, and when Kumagoro Hashimoto realized that something was wrong and ordered the whole army to pack up and prepare for retreat, the commander of the 3rd Division of Sakurai Province sent a telegram asking him to wait.
Thinking that the retreat had become a foregone conclusion, Kumagoro Hashimoto did not wait for Sakurai to issue an order, and directly let his first brigade retreat south to open the way, only to find that on his back road, there was already a main battalion of the expeditionary force blocking their retreat.
The largest at the time
The team was caught off guard, and was fully fired by the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Attack Group of the Expeditionary Force, and most of them were wiped out at once!
Who would have thought that in less than 2 hours had passed, the enemy would make a detour behind him!
These little devils who have not been educated by Gao Jianwu on a large scale interspersed with tactics and field have more or less fixed thinking in their thoughts, plus it is in the big night, and they have just rested like a dog for less than two hours, and they have not done anything and told them to go back!
This person is still confused, where did he think that while walking, the enemy was suddenly covered by a round of firepower!
In the darkness, the surviving little devils subconsciously either lay down on the spot, or instinctively burrowed into the dense forest on the side of the road, ready to escape!
In a few minutes, that is, a squadron near the captain of the first brigade of the little devils was still supporting, but the time for support was also very limited, just giving them a chance to send the jade shattered farewell telegram back to the left army, and they were directly flooded by the main battalion that surged up!
The newly equipped mortar battalion and heavy machine gun company have great firepower and lethality, and it is as sharp as mowing grass for the dense infantry team of little devils who run headlong.
In addition, the little devil was not very guarded, and the whole team completely broke into the encirclement of the 3rd Battalion, which could give full play to the firepower, and these factors boiled down to create a small miracle at the beginning of the 3rd Battalion of the First Attack Group of the Expeditionary Force.
。
When Kumagoro Hashimoto received the news of the first brigade of jade shattering, the whole person was numb at that time, and he couldn't wait for Sakurai Shozo at all, and immediately sent the main force to attack wildly to the south, because he knew that if he didn't work hard now, when the expeditionary force packed up the right army and mobilized the main force, then there would be no chance at all.
Judging from the destruction of the 1st Brigade, the enemy is very fierce and must do everything in his power to break out of the way!
In the dense forest, Sakurai and Anten Nobunaga received a telegram from Kumagoro Hashimoto, and they were all a little confused.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
Whole, even if the enemy still has a mountain artillery brigade attacking, but under night conditions, the artillery observation post of the little devil cannot accurately judge the distance, and has to push the mountain artillery to a close place like the 92nd infantry cannon to strike directly, which gives the 3rd Battalion various mortars a chance to counterattack, and the two sides have contacts and casualties in the artillery battle.
It's just that the 3rd battalion that determined the battle position in advance, due to the grid map issued by Gao Jianwu, especially along the road, they took the ambush target location as 0 points, Gao Jianwu provided about 15 kilometers of detailed artillery parameters, and the battalion company mortar group ambushed in the dense forest, through the return of the landing point of the observation post, the target position can be quickly revised, so that the artillery of the little devil needs to rely on experience to speculate on the counterattack, and it is more than a step worse in terms of accuracy!
Therefore, let the 3rd Battalion resist the attack of the little devils with an absolute disadvantage in strength and dead stones on the blocking position.
Even if there were now whole rows of casualties, they gritted their teeth.
On another battlefield, the main force of the expeditionary force cluster has now begun to sweep through the entire ragged 33rd Division's right flank army, and the tank regiment will disperse the gathered little devils, allowing the infantry following behind to harvest to their heart's content.
It's just that now the battlefield is vast, and there is no way to end the battle for a while.
After receiving the battle report from the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Attack Group, Gao Jianwu immediately ordered the logistics baggage team to come up and retreat the tank regiment for replenishment, and then ordered the tank regiment to immediately set off for reinforcements.
The little devil's left army counterattacked in advance, which was a bit unexpected, but it was not a big problem, for the main battalion with relatively complete firepower, the little devil could not launch an attack formation in the dense forest, thousands of people gathered on the main road, but only a few hundred people could line up in front to attack.
This gave the 3 battalion a chance to hold out.
Although hundreds of little devils had already sneaked into the dense forest, and seemed to circle back and surround them, under the fire of more than a dozen machine guns in the dense forest of the 3rd Battalion, they hit their heads and broke blood.
This time the operation of the 3rd Battalion was originally a roundabout encirclement and blockade, considering the strong enemy they were facing, before leaving, Ding Wei specially strengthened the machine gun configuration for them, and added a light machine gun company, mainly for the defense of the dense forest, and now it has really achieved results.
Let the little devil's attempt to break through the dense forest go bankrupt directly.
Night combat is an absolute disadvantage for the attacking side, and the terrain here is particularly suitable for the defending side, if you abandon everything and escape from the dense forest, it is indeed a huge difficulty for the pursuing side.
It's just that Kumagoro Hashimoto hasn't been forced to the end of the mountain. Now he is sure not to abandon everything and run away.
…
Song Tiecheng didn't expect that their assault team really caught a big fish this time, in the dense forest, the expeditionary force attack group, the most elite commando, is like a fish in water, when they quietly approached Sakurai Province San's party, they suddenly opened fire, dozens of assault rifles formed a powerful firepower, almost at once Sakurai Province San's escort squadron directly killed most of them, if Song Tiecheng didn't want to capture the enemy's head alive, directly more than 100,000 Bazooka rockets, they could even kill all these people without blood.
Even so, there are fewer and fewer little devils who protect the three areas around Sakurai Province.
In the close-quarters combat in the dense forest, the little devils who mainly rely on crooked machine guns and 38 big covers to fight have no ability to confront assault rifles at all.
So after ten minutes, Song Tiecheng's commando team knocked down all the little devils, and saw that the other party still had a big Yanma, Song Tiecheng subconsciously felt as if he had caught the big guy, and through the interrogation of the wounded soldiers by a member of the team who was rude to the devil, they actually found that this was a big fish, and Song Tiecheng and they carefully identified the wounded soldiers of the little devils one by one, and captured Sakurai Province and Anteng Nobunaga alive.
These two little devils pretending to be ordinary soldiers originally wanted to commit suicide, but Song Tiecheng quickly pulled out his pistol and broke their hands.
Although Gao Jianwu said that he would be captured alive, he did not say that he would ensure that they would be intact.
Anyway, as long as you can catch your breath, you can't die for a while.
…
The 3rd Battalion of the 1st Assault Group of the Expeditionary Force insisted on fighting a bloody battle for 3 hours.
Even the soldiers were fighting bravely and skillfully, but now they were a little exhausted, and the battle had reached the point where more than half of the casualties of the 3rd Battalion had been lost, and the positions of some companies had even been exhausted.
At this juncture, Kumagoro Hashimoto also let go, and began to launch a crazy attack regardless of casualties, and the squadron-level onboard charge was wave after wave, and it would not stop at all, in order to open a way of life, the little devil was also desperately moving forward.
"Battalion commander, the position of the 3rd Company is almost exhausted, if I take the guard platoon over, what will you do here?" Yu Dabao, the commander of the guard platoon of the 3rd battalion, was a little resistant to the battalion commander Xie Daocheng's order, because as soon as he took the people away, Xie Daocheng was left with the cooking squad of the battalion headquarters.
"Execute the order, our mission is to block the left army of the 33rd Division of the little devil for 6 hours, now it is far from enough, the position of the 3rd company cannot become a gap for the little devil to break through, starting from me, everyone has to fight to hold the position, even if all die here, we have to wait until the arrival of the main force!" Xie Daocheng shouted.
"Yes!" Yu Dabao was scolded by Xie Daocheng and left with tears in his eyes.
As a veteran of the new regiment, Yu Dabao is also accustomed to life and death, and when he blocked the 41st Division, he was also familiar with today.
But in order to buy time for the main force, they also dragged the little devil to death with huge sacrifices.
Yu Dabao was worried about the safety of the battalion commander Xie Daocheng.
At this difficult moment, suddenly, there was a roar in the distance, Yu Dabao pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and his face suddenly showed a huge surprise.
"Battalion commander, our tank is here, it's the sound of our Sherman tank!" Yu Dabao was ecstatic, he was a person with a particularly obsessive feeling for tanks, if it weren't for thanking Daocheng, Yu Dabao would have cried and shouted to go to the tank regiment.
Even so, in between training, as soon as he had time, Yu Dabao ran to the tank regiment to hang around, and begged others to let him go into the tank to see the east and west, and he knew everything about the Sherman tank.
"Thankfully, reinforcements are finally here. Dabao, immediately lead the guard platoon to plug the gap in the position of the 3rd Company!" Xie Daocheng was not as surprised as Yu Dabao, after all, the tank regiment's every move had already informed him.
Sun Desheng's tank regiment arrived first, strengthened the crumbling blocking position of the 3rd Battalion, calmly persisted in a bloody battle for 6 hours, and bought time for the main forces of the three major attack groups carried out by the expeditionary force to surround them, and wiped out most of the left army of the 33rd Division near Kawagan in one fell swoop!
This battle cleanly ate the main force of the 33rd Division, and the five or six thousand little devils who fled into the dense forest, under the pursuit of the first regiment, in the end, there were less than three thousand little devils who escaped through the dense forest, and after the results of this battle were reported, the Allied Southeast Asian Theater Command and the country once again set off waves, and the whole country was shocked, and the second theater expeditionary force cluster that could not bear to send more than a month shot again, and it was another good news like a king bomb, this time annihilating more than 40,000 little devils and puppet troops!
