Chapter 209 Start to eat meat (two chapters in one)
"Company commander... Japs... there are Japs coming towards us... very fast!" Wei Dayong suddenly rushed to Huang Yu to report.
"How many people are there and how are the equipment? Are there any heavy weapons..." Zhang Dashan, the cavalry company commander, was even more excited than Huang Yu. He stared at Wei Dayong and asked.
"There are less than a thousand people. They are only equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, not mountain artillery or infantry artillery...The march is very fast!" Wei Dayong replied quickly.
"Consultant Huang... your judgment just now was correct..." Zhang Dashan was even more excited than before.
"As long as we can find a way to kill the Japanese mortars and heavy machine gun troops, the cavalry company can kill everyone on the battlefield."
Huang Yu answered: "Leave the Japanese artillery and heavy machine gun squadrons to the assault company!"
"Three armored vehicles launched a frontal attack, followed closely by the cavalry company. They used the fastest speed to kill each other in the Japanese team and overwhelm their artillery squadron and heavy machine gun squadron!"
"Assault companies and guard battalions were deployed in battle formations to cover up the little Japs defeated by the armored platoon and cavalry company..."
Major Aoi was the commander of the Japanese reinforcements and was very cautious.
After receiving the order to reinforce Jinzhong, he changed his usual cautious style, ordered the troops to report forward, and marched urgently to reinforce Jinzhong.
As an officer in the Taiyuan garrison, he is very aware of the importance of the safety of Jinzhong.
Before setting off, the chief of staff of the military specially ran to the city gate to remind him that he must fight to Jinzhong as quickly as possible, defend Jinzhong at all costs, and protect the gate to the southeast of Taiyuan.
His understanding and the reminder from the chief of staff forced Major Aoi to change his past marching style.
In the past, I would lead the march myself... and arrange at least one small team as the vanguard... but doing so would more or less affect the marching speed of the troops.
The most lacking thing in Jinzhong County is time. Major Aoi decided to give up the vanguard and the troops moved forward together...
As for the risks that may arise along the way, he has already considered them.
Although I don’t know where the Eighth Route Army that attacked Jinzhong came from, nor how many there were...but the roads connecting Taiyuan to Jinzhong are almost all on the plains, and the few hilly areas are also very small, completely unsuitable for an ambush.
.
This means that it is impossible for me to be ambushed when I reinforce Jinzhong. At most, I will be blocked by the Eighth Route Army blocking troops...
Then there is no need for the vanguard troops to exist. It is safer to march in a group.
Less than ten kilometers away from Jinzhong, Major Aoi, who was marching on horseback, could already hear the "rumbling..." sound of artillery coming from the battlefield.
"Our march speed must be accelerated... Jinzhong County is still in our hands... Fight to Jinzhong, defeat the Eighth Route Army, and defend Jinzhong..." Major Aoi ordered while urging the troops to speed up their march.
After walking another two kilometers, the sound of artillery coming from Jinzhong County became clearer and clearer, and Major Aoi became even more anxious.
But the marching speed of the reinforcements has reached its extreme, and Major Aoi can't continue to speed up no matter how anxious he is...
In less than ten minutes, the reinforcements moved forward another kilometer...
"Da da da... boom..."
A series of gunshots suddenly rang out right in front of the team, and at the same time, the roar of an engine reached Major Aoi's ears...
Major Aoi was riding on horseback, his position was higher than that of ordinary infantrymen. He could clearly see the source of the gunfire by raising his binoculars.
Three armored vehicles suddenly appeared in front of the team. They turned on their lights and rushed towards the team at high speed. Several vehicle-mounted machine guns opened fire at the same time, knocking the front squadron off their backs... and a large number of them were killed in an instant...
"It's an armored vehicle... Our enemy has an armored vehicle... How is this possible..." Major Aoi was stunned.
Facing the sudden armored vehicle, the team in front has become a mess...
"The artillery will set up artillery immediately...the heavy machine gun will set up a blocking position on the spot to block the armored vehicles..." Major Aoi was stunned, and the three armored vehicles rushed forward dozens of meters. The assault speed was faster than before, and another ten
You can break into the team in just a few seconds...I'm so anxious that I'm breaking out in cold sweat, so I quickly give orders.
Dozens of gunners took action upon hearing the news, and immediately set up the mortars on their shoulders... adjusted their firing crews, and started firing shells without waiting for Major Aoi's order.
"Boom boom boom..."
Explosions soon sounded around the armored vehicle, but the assault speed of the armored vehicle was too fast, and all the shells hit the back of the armored vehicle...
"The shell is deflected... aim and fire again!" Major Aoi also saw this scene and gave the order in a hurry.
"Rumble..." The three armored vehicles were like three roaring lions, roaring into the marching team...
What surprised Major Aoi the most was that their assault speed did not slow down. Instead, they rushed faster and faster, heading straight for the artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions around them...
There are no bunkers in the artillery position or the heavy machine gun position. As long as three armored vehicles rush nearby, the vehicle-mounted machine guns alone can kill the gunners and machine gunners...
A thought flashed through Major Aoi's mind on the spot: "The armored vehicle must be blocked... The armored vehicle must not be allowed to rush forward!"
Seeing three armored vehicles with no infantry following behind them, rushing all the way and rushing into the marching group alone, Major Aoi keenly sensed a good opportunity to eliminate the opponent.
"Deploy death squads and blow up armored vehicles with grenades..."
"Hurry up, we can't let them attack any further!"
At this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly broke into Major Aoi's field of vision.
They followed closely behind the armored body, some holding sabers, some holding horse rifles, and still others holding submachine guns...
The death squads he sent were beaten into pieces by the cavalry before they even got close to the armored vehicles...
In the blink of an eye, the three armored vehicles rushed forward dozens of meters and had already entered the second squadron...
If you rush forward for more than a hundred meters, you can kill the heavy machine gun squadron and the mortar squadron.
Major Aoi became even more anxious.
If you have infantry artillery and mountain artillery on hand and put one on the highway, you can blow them to pieces no matter how many armored vehicles the Eighth Route Army kills...
The key is that there is nothing around you...
Mortars are direct-firing artillery and are difficult to hit moving targets...
Even if you hit it, it won't be able to cause a devastating blow to the opponent, and you can still charge forward.
Seeing the armored vehicles getting closer and closer in front of him, he racked his brains and couldn't think of a way to break the situation...
"Ah... Baga..." Several screams suddenly rang in Major Aoi's ears, bringing him back to reality from the shock. He turned around and saw three gunners being hit by vehicle-mounted machine guns and falling to the ground screaming.
, blood flowed everywhere...
"Baga...I was shot..." More and more gunners and machine gunners were shot and fell to the ground.
The guard next to him immediately became nervous: "Sir..."
"The armored vehicle's attack is too fierce and we can't stop it. You must retreat immediately..."
After saying that, without waiting for Major Aoi to give orders, he pulled the reins of the war horse and ran back, followed by a row of guards, blocking behind the captain with his body...
"Can't retreat..." Major Aoi ordered with the last touch of reason...
"No matter how fast you run on two legs, you can't beat an armored vehicle... If we retreat now, we are just waiting to be massacred by armored vehicles and cavalry..."
"Everyone attacks us head-on... We still have a chance to survive!"
"Dong dong dong..."
A string of heavy machine gun bullets suddenly swept towards him. The guard captain reacted very quickly and pulled him off his horse. Two bullets flew past his scalp.
If the guard captain had been slower for half a second, Major Aoi's head would have been blown off.
Cold sweat flowed from his forehead like rain.
He thought that reinforcing Jinzhong would be particularly risky, but he did not expect that this mission would be life-threatening. He almost lost his life before he reached Jinzhong.
Major Aoi was riding on a war horse, surrounded by a large number of guards.
The armored platoon leader sat in an armored vehicle in the middle, directing three armored vehicles to assault forward while observing the enemy situation ahead.
A quick glance showed that Major Aoi was a big fish, and the string of bullets that just flew past was the one he asked the machine gunner to shoot.
Seeing Major Aoi being pulled off his horse, a large number of Japanese soldiers immediately gathered around him and surrounded him with their bodies. The platoon leader was even more sure that he had caught a big fish.
"Have you seen those little devils? Keep firing and kill them all..."
"Dong dong dong..."
Two vehicle-mounted machine guns aimed at Major Aoi and opened fire at the same time. The dense bullets immediately opened a gap in the Japanese human shield. The guard captain took action again and directly threw Major Aoi to the ground, escaping the disaster again...
"Keep firing, keep an eye on the little Japs over there and kill them..." the armored platoon leader continued to roar.
"Don't slow down, charge forward as fast as you can, and smash all the little devils in front of you."
"Dong dong dong..."
The vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns continued to fire wildly at the Japanese, and the armored vehicles kept charging forward at high speed, and soon the distance between the two sides was shortened to fifty meters. Even if Major Aoi was lying on the ground, he could not avoid the rain of bullets falling from the sky.
Wherever the three armored vehicles passed, the Japanese who were concentrated on the road were either killed or scattered on both sides of the road. The soldiers could not find their generals, and they could not find their soldiers. It was chaos.
Zhang Dashan's eyes gleamed when he saw it. He immediately replaced the submachine gun in his hand with a saber, stared at the few panicked little devils, and rushed towards them.
While charging, he shouted: "The cavalry company... all fight with me... The little devils in front cannot all be killed by the armored platoon, and our cavalry company cannot be left behind..."
"kill……"
While he was speaking, Zhang Dashan had already rushed to the Japs, and immediately swung the saber held high on his cell phone towards the target Japs.
He picked up the knife and dropped it, and a round head fell to the ground...
"kill……"
Zhang Dashan quickly retracted his sword and continued to rush down the next Japanese...
The remaining more than a hundred soldiers of the cavalry company took action one after another, killing more than a hundred Japanese in just one attack...
"The captain of the first detachment's protection brigade retreats... Go to the flank, not on the road... We are being targeted by the Eighth Route Army... Others stay with me to cover!" The guard captain who had just saved the brigade captain's life instantly saw that he was
In a dangerous situation, staring at a subordinate with a farewell order on his face...
"Others should also withdraw..." Major Aoi finally recovered from the shock and gave orders to his subordinates as soon as the guards gathered him!
"Order the troops to break out in small groups..."
"We don't have mountain artillery or infantry artillery, so it's difficult to destroy armored vehicles!"
"But the enemy only has three armored vehicles..."
"As long as we spread out and break out, the enemy won't be able to chase all of us..."
In Jinzhong City, Kong Jie has climbed to the east tower of the city and can overlook the entire battlefield from a high position...
"Commander... The Third Guard Company has taken over the Japs' arsenal, and has also established a defense line around the arsenal, and has repelled two Japanese counterattacks in succession..." The correspondent of the Third Guard Company climbed up to the top of the city and reported excitedly.
"Well done..." The smile on Kong Jie's face grew wider.
"Go back and tell your company commander that no one can approach the arsenal without orders from me and the chief of staff!"
"Be sure to pay attention to the Japanese and puppet agents in the city... to prevent them from engaging in a trapped beast fight..."
As soon as the correspondent left, a signal flare flew into the sky in the middle of the city.
Chief of Staff Li Wensheng immediately put down his telescope: "Commander, the First Battalion has captured the Japanese Army Headquarters in Jinzhong..."
"Let Chen Quan leave the recruit company to clean the battlefield, and the others will retreat immediately and assemble in the east of the city to be on standby..." Kong Jie smiled even happier and ordered immediately.
"The first battalion artillery company, the second battalion artillery company, the third battalion artillery company, and the artillery company directly under the regiment, all assemble towards the east of the city! Hurry up!"
The smile on Li Wensheng's face was immediately replaced by seriousness: "Captain...the army still has tasks tonight?"
"A temporary mission!" Kong Jie replied.
"It was proposed by Counselor Huang. Although it is a bit risky, the chance of winning is very high and the significance is very great!"
"Consultant Huang...didn't he go to call for reinforcements? Could it be that they have other tasks?" Li Wensheng continued to ask, with a mixture of expectation and worry on his face as he continued to ask.
Kong Jie did not hide anything: "Assisting for reinforcements is only one of them, the real mission is to raid Taiyuan Airport!"
"The Japanese planes that raided the base areas and encircled us all came from Taiyuan Airport..."
"If Taiyuan Airport can be blown up, our air defense pressure will definitely be much reduced!"
"The air defense pressure of the main force in the base area will also be greatly reduced!"
"How big is the risk?" Li Wensheng directly asked the key to this battle.
"Consultant Huang mentioned something to me!" Kong Jie replied silently.
"It's no big deal for ordinary little Japs to defend the airport. We have armored vehicles and cavalry... No matter how many Japs block the road, we can cover the infantry to enter the airport!"
"The biggest danger is the air defense forces at the airport!"
"Taiyuan Airport is different from other small airports. There is an air defense squadron stationed inside, equipped with many anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns..."
"They can penetrate armored vehicle protective armor with ease!"
"But as long as we can capture the Japanese air defense forces in advance, there will be no risk in attacking the airport!"
"That's why I asked the three artillery companies and the artillery companies directly under the regiment to assemble!"
"Chief of Staff, you stay here and continue to attack Jinzhong... Be sure to eliminate all Japanese and puppet troops in Jinzhong City before dawn..."
"Don't forget to transfer the weapons and ammunition in the arsenal..."
"Especially the artillery shells and bullets we are going to use next, they should be transferred out first to prevent the Japanese from sending planes to bomb the arsenal after dawn..."
"The speed must be fast. Just free up an offensive force and send it to the arsenal to transfer ammunition!"
"We also need to clean up the little Japanese merchants and traitors in the city, and take away all the gold and silver seized!"
"After this major sweep, the base area will definitely need a lot of funds. The more finances we bring back, the less economic pressure the headquarters will have!"
