Chapter Eighty-Seven: Positions Are Changeable, but Existence Is Immutable!
The attack of the artillery company of the new 2nd Regiment has been going on for a full five minutes.
After witnessing the airport they were guarding and almost suffering a devastating blow, the little days burst out with amazing execution, and they completed the assembly of all the staff in just five minutes.
They were enraged by the sudden attack, and each of them looked scarlet, as if they were about to skin the enemy on the other side.
The three squadron leaders of the devils stood at the front of the team, they pulled out their command knives, pointed the blades directly at the position of the new second regiment, and then shouted: "To tsu ge ki!" ”
Under the leadership of their own squadron leader, hundreds of small day cats held bayonets with 38 big covers on their waists. They charged towards the positions in front of them, which were still firing artillery, with a faint sense of mourning and victory.
The brutes were not ashamed of their origins in the B Division, and they did not lose their minds because of anger.
During the charge, they maintained a skirmish line in strict accordance with the "Drill Rules and Regulations".
After all, the firepower of the "Jin Sui Army" in front is strong, and rushing over in a heap is only a dead end.
Looking at the menacing enemy, Le Zhengdou shrank his body back into the improvised trench, and he picked up the portable communicator in his hand and reported:
"Commander, the little devils are rushing up! It looks like there should be more than four hundred! ”
At this time, Li Yunlong was moving his position with the artillery company, and the destruction of the airport had basically been completed, so there was no need to continue to fight with Xiao Ri.
As long as the group of chased enemies can be eliminated, the new 2nd Regiment can retreat according to the original plan.
The preset second artillery position was more than 600 meters behind, where the woods did not affect the shelling, and Wang Chengzhu had already led the soldiers to prepare for support.
Although the accuracy of the mortar is very average, its mobility is far better than that of the barrel gun, and it is very suitable for the combat habits of the Eighth Route Army at this stage.
After hearing the information provided by the commander of his third battalion, he took a spare time to pick up the binoculars hanging around his neck and looked at the battlefield in the distance, and then asked in a solemn tone:
"The minefield is fine, right?"
"Don't worry, Captain, I have arranged all the mines we brought out this time. These little treasures are definitely enough for the devil to drink a pot, and when the time comes, our battalion will rush to clean up the mess, and we can definitely solve it quickly. ”
Landmines are an inexpensive defensive weapon that is best used when you know the enemy's offensive route.
The shooting pit dug by Wang Chengzhu is two kilometers away from Taiyuan Airport, while the devil's warning circle is only 1.5 kilometers, and these 500 meters are also the comfort zone of the devil's grenadier soldiers.
Although Fujimoto Tsuyoshi arranged patrols on the periphery, the soldiers of the new 2nd Regiment took advantage of the patrolling interval and empiricism of the other side to unknowingly create a minefield of 50 meters.
Taking advantage of the chaos created by this minefield, comrades can end the battle before the enemy's grenadiers come into play.
At this moment, the leader of the devil squadron who rushed to the forefront had already shown a killing smile.
The area around Taiyuan Airport is almost empty, and there is hardly any shelter except for the woods ahead.
The three squadrons only need to hold off those "Jin Sui troops", and it won't be long before mobile troops will come from the city to support. At that time, the enemy will be 100% unable to fly, and it will be a matter of time before he is completely annihilated.
Even if they can't offset their merits, they can be regarded as making amends.
The enemy's large-caliber mortars are indeed very deterrent, but it is time to reach the limit of continuous shelling for so long.
As long as you advance another 100 meters, it will be the turn of your artillery. Although there were no infantry guns or mortars, and there was no large-caliber support weaponry, their three squadrons had a full 27 grenadiers.
It's time to make the enemy feel the pain!
Just as Lieutenant Devil's wishful thinking crackled, one of the lucky people behind him stepped on a mine, and the aftermath of the explosion and shrapnel instantly incapacitated the people nearby.
The squadron leader of this devil was lying on the ground with wide eyes, and he didn't even think about one thing before he died, how the "Jin Sui Army" could operate under the noses of the patrol team, and still lay such a thing as mines.
Mines with sufficient materials were triggered one after another, and a small number of infantry from the three squadrons were killed and most of them were wounded.
After the smoke of the explosion, the position was full of wails and flesh.
For the garrison of the airfield, now this position is awkward.
Although it was about to enter the effective range of the grenadiers, its own infantry did suffer heavy casualties, and even the formation was disorganized, making it difficult to protect the artillery.
If they don't move forward, there is a high probability that the "Jin Sui Army" will run away in front of them, and no one can accept such consequences.
Just when the devils were still hesitating, the third battalion commander Le Zhengdou led the soldiers to descend from the sky.
Taking into account the peculiarities of this mission, the brigade commander specially transferred eighty MAS-38 submachine guns to the new 2nd regiment.
After capturing out of the improvised trenches, the assault team rushed with all their strength to within range of the submachine guns. This reversal of offensive and defensive roles simply shocked the little days for a whole year.
And how did the said "Jin Sui Army" become the Eighth Route Army? This dress is not the right color! Obviously, we are the attackers, why don't you come out according to the routine and counter-charge in the open field?
Because of mines, three squadrons of light machine guns and grenadiers were not ready. Eighty submachine guns plus a dozen barge guns VS three eight big covers, times have changed.
"Call me!"
Da da da.
Gunshots rang out like fried beans, and small melee weapons exploded with incredible power.
At this distance, the fighters don't need to aim carefully to hit the devil.
Warriors like Monk and Duan Peng, who have a lot of shooting training and have outstanding physical fitness, even have a good hit rate during the march.
In the rain of bullets woven by French infantry small arms, the enemy fell in an orderly manner like leeks encountering sharp scythes.
Eighty submachine guns perfectly coordinated with the light machine guns in the flank positions, and the devil infantry had no ability to resist at all. Blood splattered from their bodies, and they were beaten into sieves by pistol bullets.
Just one wave of attacks brought a lot of casualties to the devils.
At the airport sentry, the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides made Fujimoto Tsuyoshi frown, he touched his chin and couldn't help but say: "What a dense firepower, is this really the Eighth Route Army?" ”
It is not yet possible to determine the exact number of opponents.
But just now, the enemy only used more than 100 people, and he forcibly suppressed his three squadrons, which reminded him of the Jin Sui army four years ago.
At that time, the enemy's grassroots firepower was also so fierce, and the frequency of submachine guns in the battle was extremely high, and the samurai of the younger country were often suppressed by the opposite side with submachine gun fire on the way to charge.
According to statistics, in the Battle of Xinkou that year, the Jin Sui army actually consumed 2.9 million rounds of submachine gun ammunition.
Later, during the Battle of Taiyuan, the opposing troops suffered heavy losses and their numbers plummeted, but they still used 680,000 rounds of submachine gun ammunition.
Now his three squadrons lost more than half of them as soon as they exchanged fire, which made Fujimoto Tsuyoshi believe that the opposite side was a disguised Jin Sui army.
The enemy must have relied on the Eighth Route Army's Battle of 100 Regiments as a cover to achieve his own ulterior secret.
——————————————
"Masaka!"
Just in the middle of an operational meeting, Yoshio Shinozuka and his staff officers were interrupted by the sound of an explosion.
After receiving the news from the garrison, this old devil came out of one of the few Japanese in this book! He was even reluctant to accept this bloody reality.
Now the situation in Jin Province is really too bad, and the law and order war is almost lost.
As the commander of the First Army, since the beginning of the Eighth Route Army's Hundred Regiment Battle, he has not had a day of rest.
Not only do you have to face Tada Jun's scolding every day, but you also have to be on guard at all times, for fear that the Eighth Route Army will make some more moves.
At this time, he sat in the middle of the brightly lit battle hall with a gloomy face with a pestle on his command knife, and the staff officers around him stopped their movements and did not dare to disturb his lieutenant general to think about the problem.
Jin Suijun?
No way! When pigs fly! Could it be that the legendary words of the commander of the 2nd theater of operations are true?
To be pro-Japanese is for the sake of existence, and to be pro-communist is also for the sake of existence. Positions are changeable, but existence is immutable! Just one hundred regiment battle shook the stability of the West Mountain?
As for whether the people below lied about the military situation, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't think that his direct subordinates would joke about such a key matter.
And the Eighth Route Army also did not have the ability to attack the airfields of the First Army, although they received assistance from certain international organizations, but large-caliber mortars were not among them.
What's more, the wave of infantry artillery is the way of playing of the Jin Sui Army!
The five airfields near Taiyuan were heavily guarded, and as the only air force under his command, he often went to inspect the defensive arrangements there.
A 1.5-kilometer cordon ring and three squadrons of garrisons, plus permanent fortifications that meet the divisional level engagement requirements, are no problem to call it an absolute defensive ring.
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, and his old face was flushed.
"Call Tsuyoshi Fujimoto and Masashi Asakawa immediately and ask him about the damage to the 29th Independent Flying Team and the airfield?"
After only three minutes, a staff officer brought a folder to the operations conference room, and he stood up straight and began to report the damage report he had just received.
Li Yunlong was really good at seizing the opportunity, at that time, the ground crew had just completed the preparations, and the pilot had not yet boarded the plane. In the face of the sudden shelling, the devils did not have shelter at all.
As a result, eight of the 22 Type 97 fighters were directly blown up, and there was no possibility of repair.
Fourteen others were badly damaged by scattered shrapnel and were unable to take off. With the existing materials of the First Army, there is no possibility of repairing them in a short time.
The most important thing is that a lot of pilots have been lost, and the army aviation major Asakawa is still in a coma. Of the remaining 21 people, seven were shot on the spot and 14 were seriously wounded.
Although at this point in time in 1940, the pilots of the book are still sufficient, but the army aviation can have the competitor of Hainan Airlines.
Most of the pilots who have just graduated from aviation schools have been snatched up by the Navy. With the loss of so many people at one time, it is estimated that it will be more difficult to replenish than an airplane.
The 29th Independent Flying Brigade was crippled and completely incapacitated.
The damage to the apron and runway is also severe, but these can be repaired.
As for the loss of ground crew, it is acceptable, although this thing is more troublesome to cultivate, but it has left a seed. However, this is a profession that is easy to get started and difficult to master, and the efficiency of future maintenance will definitely be affected.
The extent of this loss has exceeded the limit that Yoshio Shinozuka can accept. This old devil covers his heart, it hurts! It hurts so much!
Not to mention that his new love will be uncertain, those twenty-two planes alone are uncomfortable enough.
Now judging from the resources of the younger country, unless the Kwantung Army is liberated, otherwise this gap will not be filled for a while.
Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't hold back the fire. He pulled out his command knife and did another table cleaning master, and then shouted at the staff officer:
"Tell the pursuing troops! Life is to see people, death is to see corpses! If you let the enemy run, they won't come back! ”
After the lieutenant general had recovered a little, the staff officer opened the folder and continued:
"The city defense forces found a large number of pistol shells at the scene, and they have already sent cavalry to pursue them."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, and he opened the window to look in the direction of the airport.
From a distance, you can see a raging fire burning in the direction of the airport, and from time to time there is an explosion sound, as if the fuel has been ignited again.
In recent years, the attitude of the North China Front towards the Jin system has always been to lure surrender and try to establish a government similar to Wangwang. This would free up a portion of the forces to continue the invasion of other areas.
Previously, the Second War Zone did not participate in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments with the Eighth Route Army, which made Yoshio Shinozuka very pleased.
But now the Jin Suijun suddenly disguised themselves and attacked Taiyuan, which had to make the old devil more vigilant and question whether his previous ambiguous period with the Jin family was true or false.
"Contact Commander Tada Jun immediately, the situation has changed!"
Thank you to the book friends who gave me suggestions.,I didn't delete the paragraph comment.,I changed the details and the system swallowed it.
