Chapter 540
Yang Ruifu said loudly with a solemn expression: "Please rest assured that the brigades have such advanced weapons and equipment now, and we have learned such advanced tactics in the military school. If Guangrao County still cannot be defeated, how can we still have the face to continue to be soldiers in the brigades!"
"Very good! The Third Brigade has always been a sharp knife unit known for its tough battles. When we took over the Third Brigade's military flag from Brigade Commander Xie Kangquan, this honor and responsibility fell on us!
So no matter when, we cannot insult the number of the Third Brigade, nor can we insult the title of the Chinese Tiger Army!"
Xie Jinyuan nodded and then said: "The ground troops have begun to attack. You are now back to the regiment headquarters to command and fight. You must fight this battle beautifully today!
Not only are the brothers in our brigade watching you, but even the brothers in our entire army are watching you!”
"Please ensure that the task is completed! If there is any mistake, come and see you!"
Yang Ruifu saluted heavily, then turned around and left.
Soon, Yang Ruifu came to Xiaowangzhuang in a car, where the temporary command post of the Seventh Regiment headquarters was established.
Under the crazy "Three Lights Policy" of the Japanese devils half a year ago, the villagers of Xiaowangzhuang were slaughtered and their houses were almost burned out. Later, the Chinese Tiger Army transformed Xiaowangzhuang into a military stronghold and siegeed Guangrao County for a long time.
"The team is back!"
"Group seat!"
"Are there any new instructions on the voyage?"
As soon as Yang Ruifu walked into the regiment headquarters, several officers surrounded him.
"There are no new instructions! It just reminds us to use our brains more when we fight and not to work hard. In this battle, we not only have to conquer Guangrao County, but also have to fight a beautiful battle!"
Yang Ruifu responded with a smile, then asked to the deputy regiment commander He Wuxiang: "What is the situation in the army now? How is it going?"
He Wuxiang immediately replied: "The first, second and third battalions are currently attacking the east gate with all their strength, the north gate and the west gate. The Japanese resisted extremely tenaciously, and our army has not made much progress for the time being.
According to aerial reconnaissance, the Japanese defenders in Guangrao County showed no signs of abandoning the city and fleeing. Instead, they were in a tendency to defend the county town and fight street battles with our army.
It seems that these Japanese devils are determined to play with us and want to burn together!"
The main intention of Yang Fan's autumn counterattack was to expand the strategic space and drive the Japanese army out of Shandong territory. At the same time, in order to prevent the Japanese from jumping over the wall and slaughtering the people in the city, Yang Fan asked all troops to take the principle of regaining lost land and did not emphasize how many enemies they annihilate.
Therefore, considering the actual situation, the Seventh Regiment adopted the tactic of siege three and one when attacking Guangrao County. The main purpose was to dismantle the Japanese army's will to resist and to prevent thousands of people in the city from being slaughtered by the desperate Japanese.
Although Yang Fan spent a lot of effort to evacuate the surrounding people, it was impossible to turn the county town occupied by the Japanese into an empty city. There were still many people trapped in the city for various reasons.
But even so, this battle must be fought with one's teeth. You can't never fight with the Japanese just because you are afraid of hurting the people, right?
"Since the Japanese want to die, we will help them! The Japanese want to fight streets with us, can we still be afraid of them? It just so happens to practice with these Japanese! Well, you stay in the army and keep in touch at any time. I'll go to the front line now to check out!"
When Yang Ruifu heard that the Japanese fought to the death, he was not surprised but happy. If he scared the Japanese away easily, it would be meaningless.
"Group, how can this work? If you want to go, we will go!"
"Yes, the group leader! You are the leader of the group, so you should be in charge of the regiment headquarters and dispatch it in the middle!"
He Wuxiang and others naturally tried their best to dissuade them. Although they now have absolute initiative and it is theoretically safe to go to the front line to check military information, guns and cannons have no eyes. Who knows if they will be suddenly attacked by stray bullets?
"Stop talking nonsense! Have we experienced less bullets in the past? I'm an order, not asking for your opinions!"
Yang Ruifu didn't listen to the advice at all. He hadn't done a tough battle for the Japanese in almost two years. He felt very itchy when he heard the constant sound of gunfires in front of him.
Although Yang Ruifu is now in an important position, he can no longer lead the way and rush to the front line like before, but there is still no problem to go to the front line to take a look!
After saying that, Yang Ruifu led four guards directly out of the regiment headquarters and walked quickly towards the battalion that was mainly attacking the east gate of Guangrao County.
After walking for about ten minutes, Yang Ruifu came to the first battalion headquarters and met the first battalion commander Wan Lianqing.
After a few simple conversations, Yang Ruifu picked up the telescope and looked forward.
At this time, more than 160 soldiers from the first battalion and company were attacking the positions outside the Japanese army's Guangrao County under the cover of 12 tanks and 2 self-propelled artillery.
The front-line offensive troops have already completed the latest dress change. They not only wore body armor, but also had the latest tactical helmets and goggles. There is no best in various light and heavy firepower configurations.
Guangrao County is located in a plain area, and there are no highlands and mountains around it to defend with danger. The only barrier for the Japanese army is to carefully construct and reinforced fortifications inside and outside the city!
Especially the large number of urban buildings in the county town have long been carefully transformed by the Japanese devils, forming a cross-fire network.
Since the base camp's current strategic focus is on annihilation of the living forces of the Central Army and inducing surrender to the National Government, the 12th Army can only grit its teeth and stand it.
The first level of official position was to crush people to death. Commander Tatsuo Kaguchizang could only strictly order his subordinates to defend and fight attrition. He was stationed in the county towns around the Hu Ben Army in the fortress, and the Japanese defenders in the fortress could only "have their positions, and they are killed, and they are killed."
The Japanese devils stationed in Guangrao County were the Takimura Brigade of the 5th Independent Brigade. The captain Akima Takimura gave up the fantasy of retreating too early and prepared to fight the Chinese Tiger Army to the end in the city.
In this regard, it has to be said that the Japanese devils are very tough, especially those Japanese veterans!
Looking at this World War II period, basically not many Japanese devils surrendered, especially on the Pacific battlefield. Faced with these killing machines that are not afraid of life and death, even Americans armed to their teeth suffered a great loss and once suffered from phobia!
"Hehe, there are quite a few bunkers and artillery towers made by the Japanese. Some of us are playing today! Hurry up and hit the kinetic energy bullets and fuck him! Hurry up, the heavy artillery that brothers are waiting for issuing their power!"
Xue Dong was the captain of self-propelled artillery. This time, he was ordered to cooperate with the infantry to attack Guangrao County. At this time, the self-propelled artillery he was riding with the tank troops approached outside Guangrao County, with excellent vision and shooting range.
The bunker in front of me should be a main fortress of the Japanese. It not only contains heavy machine guns, anti-tank guns, but also war defense guns. The firepower is extremely fierce, which makes the front-line troops unable to raise their heads.
