Chapter 339, Support for Friendly Forces
"Yaga! The damn Huaxia pig is finally out again! Order the front-line attacking troops to stop the offensive and move the whole line into defensive positions, and not to rush out without an order! Also, bring Major Blaise over! After reading the information, a spark of hatred flashed in Kunizaki's eyes, and he said with deep resentment: "If you have the ability to attack head-on, I don't believe that you are all steel and iron bones!" ”
After the 10th Division was stationed in Zou County, it was always afraid that the Jiaodong Group Army would go to the aid of Fei County and Teng County, so at the beginning, only the 21st Brigade was sent to attack Teng County, and the Kunisaki Detachment was used as a reserve! Kunisaki Deng naturally didn't just watch from the sidelines, and built a large number of fortifications during the confrontation with the Pang Legion, in case Jiang Qiang suddenly entered the battlefield to outflank!
Therefore, after receiving the tank regiment of the Jiaodong Group Army and a large number of transport vehicles from Yishui County, Guoqi Deng did not have any panic, but had an impulse to try, and wanted to see if the Jiaodong Group Army dared to attack its carefully constructed defensive front head-on! Fei County, Daliuzhuang!
From 7 o'clock in the morning, the 11th Wing of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army used heavy firepower such as aircraft and tanks to launch an attack on the Daliuzhuang position, and the battle has lasted for more than 5 hours now! Previously, the 361st Regiment of the 106th Division continued to fight fiercely with the Japanese army in the area of Dawa Village for 4 days.
However, after a day's rest, the Japanese attacked south again. After half a day of bloody fighting, the 361st Regiment suffered more than 700 casualties, leaving only more than 400 people trapped in the last core heights. In a simple command post, the grizzled regiment commander Zhang Chengzheng shouted into the telephone with a crying voice: "Division, when will the reinforcements arrive?" The brothers have been fighting with the devil for four days and four nights, and the troops are almost gone!
Master, please let the brothers withdraw first and leave me alone to defend the position, so as to leave some seeds for our 361st regiment! On the other end of the phone, the division commander Shen Ke's face looked extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "We withdrew from the northeast and retreated from the customs to Shaanxi, and we have no way to retreat!" The reinforcements from Yishui County have already set off, and there will be a day to arrive at most, so you must hold on for another day! ”
"Master! There are three or four hundred people, and there is at least one brigade of devils on the other side, not to mention a day, even if it takes two or three hours, only the whole army will be wiped out? Zhang Chengzheng roared with great grief and indignation, this order was undoubtedly to let them die for the country. Shen Ke squeezed out a few words from between his teeth and said: "People are in the position, people are dead in the position!" Execute the command! "Yes!"
After Zhang Chengzheng put down the microphone, he took out the Mauser pistol from his waist, his eyes were red and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, the time has come to kill you, everyone will follow me!" Walk! Fight with the little devils! "Kill!" "Kill!"
It wasn't until the last moment came that the staff officers, intelligence officers, and logistical civilian personnel in the regiment headquarters all let out an earth-shattering roar, and rushed out of the command post with long and short guns, rushing towards the battlefield not far ahead. Pang Bingxun's 40th Army was originally formed by the Second Group Army in Shanxi in 1931, and was later called the Third Army. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, it was said to be a legion, but in fact it only governed the 40th Army!
The 40th Army has only one division under the jurisdiction of the 39th Division, plus a supplementary regiment, that is, it is nominally a corps, but the actual strength is only 1 division and 1 regiment. After the bloody battle of Linyi, the 40th Army was transferred to the rear for training. Perhaps the Military Commission took into account the excellent combat performance of the 40th Army and Pang Bingxun's meritorious service in the War of Resistance Against Japan, so the 106th Division, which originally belonged to the Northeast Army and defected to the Central Department during the 77 Incident, was assigned to the 40th Army.
At this point, there was finally only one independent 39th division under the 40th Army, and there were finally two divisions. Zhang Chengzheng rushed into the frontline position in the midst of fierce fighting, and at this time, hundreds of little devils were launching a general attack along the gentle slope towards the trench with a total length of 2 kilometers! This core position is a small hill, and there are more than a dozen trenches of different lengths in front and back!
The little devil who rushed to the nearest was less than 20 meters away from the trench, and the devil's grenades were already in handy, and both the enemy and the enemy were red-eyed, and someone was shot and killed all the time! "Brothers, hold on! Get out of the way, let me come! After jumping into the trench, Zhang Chengzheng raised his pistol and killed three ghost soldiers who rushed to the front in a row, and then saw the heavy machine gunner next to him fall down, so he walked over and took over the heavy machine gun.
Da Da, the heavy machine gun once again spewed out angry tongues of fire, and strings of metal bullets rained down, instantly knocking down the charging devil soldiers! However, the good times did not last long, and the heavy machine gun output position, which was the focus of attention, was soon targeted by the little devil again, and a string of bullets whistled in. "Tuanza, be careful!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the guard Liu Gang rushed over desperately, and lifted Zhang Chengzheng away, and then a string of bullets struck, Liu Gang was hit several times in a row, and the red blood instantly gushed out and stained his clothes red! "Little Gangzi!"
Zhang Chengzheng's eyes were cracking, Liu Gang had been following him from his hometown in the northeast, and he had run for most of China in the southeast and northwest, and he was not a brother better than a brother. "Little devil, I'll grass your eighteenth generation ancestor!" Zhang Chengzheng roared angrily, Huo Ran stood up and once again controlled the heavy machine gun to shoot wildly at the devil in front of him! "Assault! Tao times change! ”
Seeing that most of the front-line troops had already broken through to the front of the trenches, the devil front-line commander immediately drew his saber and waved it forward! "Great Japanese Empire onboard!" "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" The devil soldiers suddenly seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and they launched a wave of outlaw without dying! "Get on the bayonet!" "Brothers, kill!" "Little devil, grandpa fought with you!" "Kill!"
The officers and men of the 361st Regiment let out a final roar and took their bayonets from their waists to prepare for the final battle.
However, at this moment, there was a motor humming in the sky, and then a series of metal storms fell from the sky, falling like a torrential rain among the little devils! The Japanese devils, who were launching a charge on board, were instantly knocked down, and the momentum of the attack was interrupted in an instant. "Ahh "Eight Ga Ya Road!" "Huaxia Pig's helicopter is here!" "Concentrate your firepower and hit the helicopter first!"
The 10th Division had fought with Jiang Qiang's troops many times two months ago, so it naturally had combat experience, and although it suffered heavy casualties at the first time of the surprise attack, it did not obviously panic, and soon organized powerful firepower to fire fiercely at the oncoming helicopters! "Don't rush in, use kite flying tactics!"
In the same way, helicopter pilots will not stupidly rush over to attack at low altitudes, hovering in mid-air at a distance of 1,000 meters away from the devils, and using the range advantage of heavy machine guns and sniper rifles for long-range consumption! The Japanese Army's current mainstream configuration of light machine guns is the Taisho 11 type light machine gun and the 92 type heavy machine gun, with an effective range of 600 and 800 meters respectively!
Although the maximum range can reach more than 2,000 meters, not to mention the great reduction in power, it is also difficult to effectively stabilize the output due to the problem of shooting angle! Jiang Qiang's MG42 machine gun has an effective firing range of about 1,000 meters, and the condescending wide firing range can exert its maximum power, and it can have strong lethality within 2,000 meters!
So as long as the operation is done properly, the helicopter commando team can use the range advantage to fly kites to kill Japanese soldiers from a distance. So there was an extremely strange scene on the battlefield: 10 helicopters hovered in mid-air, and strings of metal warheads continued to pour downward, constantly harvesting the heads of little devils! The little devil is angry and defeated, but there is no way to effectively kill the helicopter.
"Oh my God, what kind of plane is this?" "Could it be that this is our reinforcements?" "What the hell is going on?" "How can you fight like this?" "I didn't see dazzles, did I?"
Zhang Chengzheng and others had already made up their minds to die, and were about to break out of the trenches to fight the final bloody battle with the Japanese army, but unexpectedly, ten helicopters suddenly came from the rear! A sudden burst knocked down a large piece of the devil, not only reversed the situation in an instant, but the surviving devil had no power to fight back at all, lying on the ground and hiding behind the cover shivering! Everyone was dumbfounded all of a sudden, it was the first time they had seen such a strange scene when they were so big, and many people rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
"Baga Ya Road! The anti-aircraft machine gun crew stepped forward to fire support, and the front-line troops immediately retreated! "Yuichi Nagano, the wing commander who commanded the battle in the rear, roared angrily, he was really afraid of anything! The order to retreat had been received more than ten minutes earlier, but Yuichi Nagano was unwilling to give up the impending victory, so he took it upon himself to launch a final general attack.
However, at the most critical moment, the helicopter commando team of the Jiaodong Group Army entered the battlefield and reversed the tide of the battle with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai! "Quick! Assault! After the anti-aircraft machine gun team received the order, dozens of little devils hurriedly ran to the front battlefield with more than a dozen tripods and improved Taisho 11-year light machine guns! Due to Japan's small population, poor resources, and weak industrial base, the development of anti-aircraft machine guns was relatively slow!
For a long time, the Taisho 11-year-type light machine gun was equipped with a high-level dual-purpose tripod to become a special anti-aircraft machine gun, which was distributed to air defense alert units, naval ships, and even submarine forces. Especially because after the Huaxia Air Force was exhausted in the Battle of Songhu, anti-aircraft machine guns became ornaments!
However, due to the fact that they had suffered a big loss from the helicopter team of the Jiaodong Group Army before, the Japanese army mobilized a lot of tripods from China, as well as newly improved anti-aircraft machine guns to the army units in Shandong! It's just that these newly revised Taisho 11-year-old light machine guns have limited power, far less powerful than the twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns configured by Jiang Qiang! But even so, these more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns with a maximum range of up to 3,000 meters are still very powerful!
The Japanese anti-aircraft fire suddenly became several times stronger, and the bullets clanged on the helicopter, although it could not completely penetrate the metal shell, but it caused a lot of pressure on the helicopter commandos! "Attention everyone! Rise now! Qian Chenxue saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered the helicopter commando team to pull back the height! If you can't accurately output low-altitude firepower, then fly high and fight again, even if you can't hit accurately, you can also suppress firepower, which is nothing more than killing an enemy with a few more bullets!
Climb directly to an altitude of 2,500 meters in one breath, and the straight-line distance from the Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun position is more than 3,000 meters, and the helicopter commando team will have no pressure at all! "Now I'll see how you fight us! Brothers, aim and hit me hard! "Today is his debut, Qian Chenxue is willing to go home easily, how can he kill it!
Qian Chenxue was originally the battalion commander of the Hunan Army, but after the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he failed to defend northern Hebei, and more than 100,000 officers and soldiers were regarded as outcasts! If it weren't for Jiang Qiang's support that night, he would have died in the chaos of northern Hebei! Therefore, after Qian Chenxue joined the Jiaodong Group Army, he tried his best to improve himself, and finally became a special combat team member with excellent performance, and then promoted to a pilot!
For the Japanese devils, Qian Chenxue has infinite hatred, this time he was ordered as the vanguard of the emergency rescue, he is naturally the enemy to meet the red! Da da da, ten heavy machine guns once again spewed out tongues of fire to blow a metal storm, although the shooting accuracy was greatly reduced, but under the intensive strafing there were still many little devils who drank bullets and died! "Yaga! Immediately dodge and lie down! Hurry up and drop! ”
The ghost soldiers who controlled the anti-aircraft machine gun were shot one after another, but they had no power to fight back, and the surviving devils could only give up all illusions and lie down and hide on the spot! "Alright, wrap up! Return! "The heavy machine guns are cool, but the ammunition consumption is quite amazing, and it doesn't take long for all the ten heavy machine guns to run out of bullets, and they can only return to replenish ammunition." Eight Ga Ya Road! Retreat now! ”
At this time, there were less than 200 surviving devil soldiers in front of the 361st regiment's position, and they could no longer storm the hill in front of them, so they could only start to retreat on the whole line. "Haha, the devil has escaped!" "We won!" "Thank you, friendly brothers!"
Seeing the devils retreat like a tide, and even the large army of devils in the rear began to retreat, Zhang Chengzheng and the others still didn't understand that this time the devils really retreated, not the previous suspension of the attack! "Report! The reinforcement aircraft unit defeated the Japanese attack, and the crisis of Oyanagiso was lifted! "Report! Hengliang Mountain attacked the Japanese and retreated on all fronts! "Report! Yuanbaoshan attacked the Japanese invaders and retreated on all fronts! ”“……”
The Jiaodong Group Army attacked with a thunderous momentum and defeated the Japanese brigade in Daliuzhuang in one fell swoop, while the Japanese troops attacking from several other directions stopped their attacks in advance and withdrew to their own defense areas. The main force of the Jiaodong Group Army had not yet arrived at the front-line battlefield, and the crumbling Pang Army was out of danger all of a sudden. "What? The Japanese devils were all scared away at once? "Yes! Is this Jiaodong Group Army really so powerful? Could this be the legendary fear? ”
The news from the front line came one after another, Pang Bingxun, Sun Zhen and others couldn't help but be stunned, and it didn't take long to receive the telegram from the headquarters of the theater commander, and the Japanese devils retreated directly on all fronts? Pang Bingxun originally thought that even if Jiang Qiang ordered the troops to rush to help, it would take seven or eight hours to reach the battlefield, and he would have to go through a hard and bloody battle to temporarily break the siege! But I never dreamed that the shadow of the main force of the Jiaodong Group Army had not yet been seen, and these little devils simply retreated!
Stunned, Pang Bingxun commanded to the intelligence officer: "Immediately investigate the specific location of the reinforcements, since others have come to the rescue, I have to meet him!" "What? The little devils are all retracted? After listening to the latest enemy situation, Yun Qichang couldn't help but be very disappointed and said: "These turtle grandsons, why are they getting less and less courageous?" "Haha, that's not like we're scared! Aren't the little devils a bunch of stupid pigs who don't have a long memory! ”
Liu Qingyuan, who was also sitting in the armored command car, was not surprised at all, he had already thought of this before setting off! If you change places, I am afraid that you can only do this if you change to yourself, because this is the wisest choice! It is no exaggeration to say that under the premise that the Jiaodong Group Army has a tank armored regiment and air supremacy, the Jiaodong Group Army can completely crush the Japanese Army twice as much as itself head-on!
Liu Qingyuan was promoted to chief of staff of the Fifth Division, which is the highest-ranking confidant of Jiang Qiang in the Fifth Division! Chen Yannian, the commander of the 13th Brigade, nodded proudly and smiled: "Yes! Our heavy tanks and Flying Tigers alone are enough to make the little devils drink a pot, and even fools will not fight with us in the field for no reason! Haha, in the past, we used to hide in the fortifications to fight defensive battles, but now it's the devil's turn to hide from us, this feeling is so cool! ”
In the self-defense counterattack two months ago, the Jiaodong Group Army suffered a lot of casualties and serious losses, but after two months of recovery, not only did the number of soldiers increase but exceeded the 160,000 mark at once, and a lot of tanks, fighters, and helicopters were naturally added! "Having said that, if the little devil can't shrink back, then won't we have to fight?" Zhao Tingbi, the commander of the 14th Brigade, frowned slightly, although the 14th Brigade did not participate in the battle this time, he followed the support troops to participate in the battle, which can be regarded as half a staff officer and a real combat experience!
Yun Qichang hurriedly looked at Jiang Qiang, who had been silent, and asked with a smile: "Chief Seat, we can't just come out and walk around, right?" Jiang Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the longer the time drags on, the better it will be for us!" The little devils are anxious to open up the Jinpu line to connect the northern and southern battlefields and force the Nationalist Government to surrender, and they should be in a hurry! Looking at the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces, Jiang Qiang changed his words and said: "Of course, we can't go home empty-handed, since we are here, it should be regarded as a real combat drill, and it is still necessary to fight with the little devil!"
I won't interfere with the specific combat plan, haven't you already made a plan? I'm mainly out for a ride this time, and you can fight as much as you want! "Hey, that's good! That's good! "The chief seat is wise!"
Yun Qichang, Liu Qingyuan, Chen Yannian and others turned cloudy in an instant, and finally won the opportunity to fight, if they didn't even fight a decent battle, wouldn't it be boring! "Oh my God, this is the Jiaodong Group Army?" "Look, Look, they're coming!" "Wouldn't it? So many tanks? So many cars? "Mom, the Jiaodong Group Army is so powerful, so why haven't they been able to shrink back?"
"Preserve strength? Sweep the snow in front of each door? "That's not authentic, is it?" The Japanese army retreated on all fronts, and the pressure of Pang's army disappeared in an instant, and Pang Bingxun and others could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and later organized a greeting and sending team of nearly 1,000 people to greet friendly troops outside Philadelphia County.
When Pang Bingxun and the others saw the vanguard of all mechanization, everyone was dumbfounded, especially the 18 heavy tanks lined up in front, which were simply behemoths of steel and full of visual impact. After a burst of amazement and exclamations, everyone couldn't help but think of a very serious problem at the same time, a negative emotion called envy, jealousy and hatred, which instantly occupied everyone's inner world!
More than ten minutes later, the Jiaodong Army arrived outside Philadelphia. "Commander Jiang, thank you very much for personally leading the army to come to the rescue, and you scared the little devil away at once! Haha, the Jiaodong Group Army is so majestic! After some self-reporting and mutual introductions, Pang Bingxun finally saw what Jiang Qiang looked like with his own eyes!
Looking at the angry heavy tanks and Yishui's mechanized transport fleet, Pang Bingxun's mood was extremely complicated, with deep awe and envy, as well as resentment towards Jiang Qiang watching the fire from across the bank for a long time, but he just didn't have much gratitude! Because, in Pang Bingxun's view, Shandong was originally the territory of the Third Group, and Jiang Qiang was originally subordinate to the Third Group Army, so he should guard his own door, and he should fight to the end with the devil! Not to mention, during this time, Fei County, Teng County, as well as Jinxiang County, Yutai County, Shanxian County and other places were in full swing, and the national army suffered heavy casualties and lost the land one after another!
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Qiang actually had such a powerful army, it only took two or three hours to send troops to the front line, but he had been cowering at home to defend! On the other hand, if Jiang Qiang led the troops to run over, and the troops under his command were similar to his own weapons and equipment, Pang Bingxun would be grateful and would no longer have resentment!
After all, this is the most basic jealousy of human beings, who can't see others better than themselves! "Commander Pang praised it! Your army is brave and loyal, since participating in the Battle of Xuzhou, it has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, killed countless enemies, and is really a model for us! Jiang Qiang pretended not to understand the meaning of the words, first liked a few words, and then explained with a smile:
"A few days ago, we suffered heavy casualties, and the troops have been replenishing and retraining, and now we still have two divisions of devils stationed in the north, so we have to hold the defense area as a last resort! Today, when I heard that the Japanese were attacking in an all-out way, your army was under great pressure, so I immediately led the main force to relieve the siege! Your brothers have worked hard, and you are all good! ”
Jiang Qiang still admires these anti-Japanese soldiers in the bloody frontier city very much, no matter what they were in the past, what happened after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, at least now everyone is a friendly brother in the same trench! "Haha, Commander Jiang is overrated! Thank you very much for sending troops to rescue in time, otherwise, we are afraid that we will be surrounded by little devils in Philadelphia County and become a lone army! ”
Ma Fawu was worried that Pang Bingxun would continue to completely offend Jiang Qiang with his face, so he hurriedly spoke out to play a round. Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, this world will always be whose fists are hard, and whoever speaks will make sense, in the past, why didn't they avoid the important and preserve their strength? If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have the ability to be warlords, they wouldn't have easily come to the Fifth War Zone and be forced to fight with the little devils in front! "Report to the General Seat! An urgent telegram was sent from the Jiaoxian radar station, and a large number of Japanese planes took off from the sea fleet and were flying in our direction! ”
Just then, an intelligence officer rushed over. "Hehe, sure enough! That's all the little devil can do! Jiang Qiang raised his eyebrows, and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately order the air defense forces to block the fire along the road, and the Flying Tigers will enter a state of standby!" Commander of the transport division, immediately evacuate the troops, and the air defense forces immediately build positions! ”
