Chapter 242 The power of the anti-aircraft machine gun
It was around three o'clock in the morning that day.
Wang Yigong's 4th regiment successfully merged with Ding Wei's 28th regiment.
"Commander Wang, thank you for your hard work. We killed Guancun Airport in Changzhi in one fell swoop, and I have to trouble you to come to support us!" Ding Wei said politely when he saw Wang Yigong.
"Captain Ding, you are too polite. If you hadn't made a big move to attract the Japanese troops from Changzhi, we wouldn't have succeeded! Even without our fourth regiment, just with the strength of the 28th regiment and the new regiment,
You can definitely eat Changzhi and get rid of the Japanese army!" Wang Yigong said truthfully, but he didn't mean to take credit or be arrogant.
"Haha, okay, let's not talk nonsense. Li Yunlong's new regiment is still ahead, blocking the Japanese army. With more troops, there is more room for maneuver!" Ding Wei said.
"Now I have sent three battalions to separately attack the Japanese army, and the effect is very good. Now that your four regiments are here, I am ready to concentrate my forces and attack the Japanese army from behind to completely injure them!"
"On the one hand, we will reduce the frontal pressure on the new group, and on the other hand, we will attract a large number of enemy troops to dispatch and take the opportunity to eat them!" Ding Wei said seriously.
"Captain Ding, give the order!" Wang Yigong replied.
"Okay!" Ding Wei was not polite, and then said: "You will arrange it on the side of Xidian Mountain, and I will arrange for someone to take you there!"
Then the two of them made detailed arrangements.
"If you can't contact Xinyi Tuan Radio Station, why don't you send someone to notify us?" Wang Yigong suggested.
"Hey, don't worry about this. Li Yunlong's nose is sharper than a dog's. Once we start taking action here, he will definitely be able to detect it and won't let this opportunity go!" Ding Wei said confidently, he said to Li Yunlong
Old comrades know it better than anyone else.
Then the liaison officer of the 28th Regiment took the fourth regiment to Xidian Mountain. Xidian Mountain is not far from the main battlefield, more than ten miles away. Wang Yigong and his party arrived there in 15 minutes on foot.
"Have you rested enough?" Wang Yigong looked at the three battalion commanders of the Fourth Regiment and said.
"If you rest the hammer enough, I almost broke my leg!" Second Battalion Commander Yang Xiansheng complained.
"I see that you are very angry when you speak, so I should let you run more!" Wang Yigong glared at him.
"Didn't we seize four anti-aircraft machine guns during this attack on Changzhi Airport? Zhang Hao, equip your first battalion. When the little devils arrive, give them a hard blow!" Wang Yigong said directly.
After Wang Yigong finished speaking, Yang Xiansheng seemed to want to say something.
"Yang Xiansheng, don't be unhappy, you can't handle the anti-aircraft machine gun thing!"
"I don't know how to masturbate. Who doesn't know how to masturbate?" Yang Xiansheng muttered in a low voice.
The main force of the Fourth Regiment and the First Battalion was from the Central Army. Its battalion commander Zhang Hao had played with anti-aircraft machine guns when he was in the National Army. This is why Wang Yigong equipped the First Battalion.
"The first and second battalions are deployed on the top of Xidian Mountain, and the third battalion is deployed at the foot of the mountain to support the brothers of the 28th Regiment!" Wang Yigong said finally.
.......
The Japanese army's headquarters was located on the back of a hill. Suffering from constant harassment from the 28th Regiment, Commander Tanimura Koichi used an infantry squadron as a reserve team to simultaneously protect the headquarters.
About 800 puppet troops were deployed at the rear to deal with the 28th Regiment's attack.
"Boom, boom, boom!" First there was an explosion of grenades, and then there was a burst of intensive gunfire.
The formation is not small, but the puppet troops who have been building fortifications for a long time have not suffered many casualties!
"Don't move, no one is allowed to set up fortifications!" An officer of the puppet army has become accustomed to it and has learned a lesson. He suffered a big loss before.
The leading officer said so, and the puppet soldiers below were lying in the fortifications chatting.
No one noticed a group of dark figures sneaking over in the night, taking advantage of the bonfire lit in the fortifications and taking in everything in sight.
"Damn it, these puppet soldiers are all so comfortable. Prepare grenades!" the second battalion commander of the 28th Regiment said in a low voice.
Upon hearing the order, more than 300 soldiers took out grenades and pulled off the rings.
"Throw it!" The second battalion commander did not wait for the delay time. Some soldiers used it but it was made in the border area. The explosion time is extremely unstable. If it is left in the hand for more than one second, it may explode.
The soldiers of the third battalion didn't take aim and threw them wherever there was light. More than 300 grenades flew out from the shadows.
Some grenades fell in front of the fortifications, and some fell inside the fortifications.
A puppet soldier was taking a nap with his hat on his head and a gun in both hands. Unexpectedly, a grenade flew into his arms.
Gu Ning
The smell of burning gunpowder woke him up. When he opened his eyes, his hat was frightened and he quickly threw the smoking grenade aside.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The explosion sounded again.
The puppet troops in the fortifications were blown away, and the soldiers of the second battalion took the opportunity to kill them.
"Quickly, set up a mortar and charge me with a mortar on the top of the hill. I won't believe that the little devil is a tortoise and can't get out of it!" the second battalion commander quickly ordered.
Upon hearing the order, a platoon of soldiers quickly escorted two mortars to find a position.
Two 82 mortars were quickly set up under the operation of the artillery of the 28th Regiment.
"Boom!" The 82 mortar barrel made a dull sound.
Two artillery shells flew toward the small high ground of the Japanese headquarters with flames of fire.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The explosion not far away frightened Koichi Tanimura.
"Nani, the Eighth Route Army discovered the location of the headquarters?" Tanimura Koichi couldn't help but wonder.
Then two more artillery shells exploded, and several little Japs guarding the headquarters were knocked to the ground.
Ding Wei did not guess the exact location of the Japanese military headquarters, but in the process of harassing the Japanese troops, he discovered that there were Japanese troops and puppet troops moving back and forth on this hilltop from time to time.
In line with the idea of hitting three poles if there are dates but no dates, we came up with the idea of shelling with two 82 mortars.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is dead! Order Jingcun Squadron and Shimo Squadron to destroy this group of attacking Eighth Route Army!" Tanimura Koichi said angrily.
Originally, the 28th Regiment only attacked the puppet troops at the rear. This time, all the artillery shells hit the Japanese headquarters, which completely angered Tanimura Koichi.
"Hi!"
The Japanese troops attacking from the front were panicked when they saw the continuous explosions in the direction of the rear headquarters. They stopped the attack and began to retreat one after another.
The commander of the second battalion who led the attack saw a group of Japanese troops coming straight towards him from the hilltop that had been bombarded by artillery shells. He decisively ordered: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
The soldiers of the second battalion had just driven the puppet troops out of the fortifications in one go. They didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield, so they just ran away as planned.
The puppet troops who fled from the fortifications were stopped by the oncoming Japanese troops.
When the leader of the team, Kagemura Ueki, saw the puppet soldiers out of formation, his eyes flashed with ferocity. Without saying a word, he took out his pistol and shot several puppet soldiers.
"Baga, you, lead the people in front to chase the Eighth Route Army!" Jingcun Shangshu pointed a gun at the leader of the puppet army and said.
"Hi, hi, Taijun, I will organize the troops right away!" the puppet army leader nodded and bowed in response. He knew that the little devil would not care how high-ranking an official you were, and would just shoot him if he disagreed with you.
"Brothers, listen to Taijun. As long as Taijun is here, the Eighth Route Army will be dead this time!" shouted the puppet army commander.
Facing the fierce power of the little Japanese, the defeated puppet troops turned around one after another.
"Hey!" Jingcun Shangshu said with a disdainful smile.
The more than 300 retreating soldiers of the Second Battalion merged with the soldiers of the Second Battalion who had left behind to support them. Without stopping at all, they ran towards Xidian Mountain.
The Second Battalion was running in front, and the Japs were chasing after them. Fortunately, the Second Battalion Commander reacted quickly enough to avoid casualties during the pursuit.
In the blink of an eye, the second battalion ran to the position set up by the third battalion of the fourth regiment.
"Comrade, how are you? Has the little devil come out?" Gan Caisheng, the third battalion of the Fourth Regiment, asked.
"Hey, it was just a small fight before, but this time it really hurt the kid. Our regiment leader guessed right. The place where we shelled just now is most likely the kid's headquarters!" said the second battalion of the 28th Regiment.
Chang took advantage of the situation and rolled into the position and lay down next to Gan Caisheng.
Not long after the second battalion commander lay down, he remembered the rapid sound of gunfire in the place he just passed.
"Da da da!"
Why did the machine gun make such a loud movement? The second battalion commander pointed at a position that was blazing with fire. He was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.
"Haha, that is an anti-aircraft machine gun that was seized from Changzhi Airport not long ago. Our regimental leader said that it was used by Lao Maozi to assist the national army. The 12.7mm caliber bullet is as big as a finger. If it hits a person, it will break it!
"Gan Caisheng seemed to have thought of something and said with lingering fear.
