877 There was a thunder, and Kong Jie came to the rescue!
At this time, the war situation took a turn for the worse.
It’s not just the second company’s combat troops that ambushed Japanese reinforcements on the way.
The original strategy of using the enemy to lure the enemy deep into the ambush circle was used to lure Hidewa Squadron into the ambush circle. In the ambush battle that followed, the first and third companies were able to completely wipe out the entire Hidewa Squadron.
Soon they were also attacked by another mechanized combat unit of the Japanese army.
The battle broke out suddenly, and the Japanese mechanized combat troops appeared too quickly.
The soldiers who hunted geese all day long were pecked in the eye by an eagle.
In the second company's combat area, the original Japanese cavalry unit and the newly arrived tank team had already suffered more than half of their casualties, and they were about to be completely wiped out.
After the Japanese mechanized combat troops quickly launched a surprise attack on the second company from the flank, the casualties of the second company spread rapidly. Under pressure, they could only give up the detour against the Japanese cavalry and tank squads, outflank the Japanese, and turn around to deal with the Japanese who were attacking from the flank.
.
The ambush battle started here between the First Company and the Third Company, with the arrival of the Japanese mechanized combat troops.
The Xiuhe squadron, which had already been overwhelmed, took the opportunity to break out from the weak point of the encirclement and successfully rendezvoused with the mechanized combat troops reinforced by the Japanese.
The two sides resumed their positional battle.
But the situation at this moment is quite passive for the soldiers of the 1st and 3rd companies.
The Japanese mechanized combat troops who were reinforced were extremely well-equipped and had abundant ammunition.
Bullets and artillery shells seemed to be free of charge, and they all hit the defensive positions of the 1st and 3rd companies.
Coupled with the unique terrain of this area, in addition to some raised hills and slopes in the ambush area.
After leaving this area, most of them are flat and open areas.
None of the three company commanders could have imagined that the Japs would be so ruthless. They would rather risk the destruction of Xiuhe Squadron, the cavalry unit, and the tank squad, and take advantage of the mobility advantage of the mechanized combat unit to complete the attack on the first and second companies.
There was also the outflanking of the Third Company Operations Department.
According to common sense, the Japanese mechanized combat troops, even if they come as reinforcements, should first appear next to the Japanese troops who are under attack.
Japanese Army Major Furukawa is a ruthless character.
He believed that even if Hidewa's squadron, cavalry troops and tank squadron were rescued first, casualties would have already occurred and the battle would still end in failure.
Instead of doing this, even if he pays a certain price of casualties, he must wipe out all the Tubal Road ambushed this time.
The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten minutes.
Xiuhe's squadron, as well as the Japanese's cavalry and tank squads, were all out of danger.
On the contrary, the 1st Company, 2nd Company and 3rd Company were trapped in some higher-lying slope areas.
The battle continues.
In fact, when the battle situation has evolved to this point, the best option for the soldiers of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies is to evacuate immediately.
But the key point is, how can two legs outrun the little devil's four wheels?
The three company commanders are all experienced veterans, how could they not understand this truth?
Right now, even if we are completely besieged by the Japanese on the defensive position, we must not evacuate easily.
Otherwise, once they leave this fortification that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Japanese mechanized combat troops will definitely catch up, and by then, the team will only be slaughtered.
This is the power of the Japanese mechanized combat troops.
With the advantage of mechanization and firepower, this little devil can quickly carry out reinforcements, transfers, pursuits, and outflanks.
After losing the excellent guerrilla area-mountainous area.
Facing the mechanized advantage of the Japanese troops, the soldiers were almost cut off from their retreat.
After the news reached the first battalion headquarters.
The commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, was also full of anxiety. The battle situation was completely beyond his expectation.
Considering the situation of crisis one after another.
Zhang Dabiao did not dare to delay, and quickly dispatched the reserve troops prepared by the first battalion in advance to quickly reinforce the combat areas of the first company, the second company, and the third company.
Before setting off, Zhang Dabiao shouted: "Comrades, do you still remember the tradition of our old and new regiments?"
The soldiers roared in response: "Never abandon a brother, never abandon a comrade!"
"That's the reason. The battle has reached this point, which has exceeded our expectations.
We won’t be able to care about so much anymore, go out and fight that little son of a bitch, and rescue the comrades from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd companies!”
"Yes——"
The soldiers responded in unison, and then quickly followed the original march route to reinforce the areas where the first, second, and third companies were fighting.
New Second Regiment Headquarters.
"Old Li, the First Battalion's attack is in trouble."
After the news came, political commissar Zhao Gang frowned and said while analyzing the situation based on the combat map.
Li Yunlong was also a little anxious. When he was anxious, he couldn't help but scold his mother: "Damn it, this little bitch is really looking after us.
Our tank company cannot be mobilized at all.
Coupled with the need to block water supply lines in other directions of the Huting stronghold, it will be difficult for us to reinforce Dabiao.
This kid is really in trouble!"
Li Yunlong was very unwilling.
What was before him now was a dilemma.
If they choose to mobilize the troops blocking the Huting stronghold from other directions and reinforce a battalion, then the Japanese will definitely take the opportunity to replenish the water supply to the Huting stronghold.
The original plan to completely trap the Japs to death by cutting off the water source of the Japanese troops in the Huting stronghold would end in failure.
But if we don’t immediately send reinforcements to the first battalion.
The situation of two or three in a row will be very critical, kidnapper.
The Japanese reinforcements are dispatched in large numbers. With the strength of one battalion, I am afraid they are no match.
"Captain, please come up with an idea quickly!"
As the cadres urged, Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he had never been so sad.
After a short period of thinking, Li Yunlong quickly weighed the pros and cons, calmed down, and made up his mind: "Damn it, I knew that the bones of Huting Stronghold would be difficult to chew, but I didn't expect that it would knock out my big teeth! This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
We can’t control so much anymore. There will be plenty of opportunities to attack the Japanese strongholds in the future. It’s important to save a battalion first!
Signal Corps, please immediately send me an order to have the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Battalions that were originally blocking the Huting Stronghold move quickly to the west of the Huting Stronghold to reinforce the 1st Battalion!"
"Yes!"
The little soldier of the communications corps responded, turned around and got into the communications room, about to issue the order.
A confidential officer put down the earphones connected to the radio, stood up, and hurriedly shouted: "Sheng Liu, wait a minute, I have important information to report to the regiment leader!"
With that said, he rushed to the regiment headquarters in two steps and reported: "Report to the regiment commander, just now, news came from the first and third companies that our reinforcements have arrived!"
"Reinforcements? Damn it, I didn't send reinforcements!"
Li Yunlong was confused, this was really strange, "Check, find out for me immediately, what is going on?"
"Yes!"
The soldiers of the Communications Department quickly started working, and soon, news came one after another:
"Reporting to the captain, according to the news from the front line, reinforcements from our army have indeed arrived.
According to the report from the first company, a combat force arrived quickly in cars, motorcycles, and even some armored vehicles, mixed with war horses.
After the support troops arrived, they directly defeated the Japanese mechanized combat troops from the flank.
Their firepower is very fierce, and those cars and armored vehicles are even equipped with larger-caliber howitzers."
"Damn it, is there still such a thing?
I have to look back and ask myself who sent the reinforcements and they helped us, Lao Li, a lot!"
The sudden surprise made Li Yunlong overjoyed.
He then asked: "So, the current crisis of two consecutive crises has been resolved?"
"Yes, leader."
The stone hanging in Li Yunlong's heart finally fell. He hurried to the phone and dialed the number of the First Battalion directly.
A moment later, Zhang Dabiao's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, this is the First Battalion Headquarters, and I am Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the First Battalion."
"Dabiao, it's me."
"Captain!"
"What's the situation over there now?" Li Yunlong asked directly.
Zhang Dabiao replied: "Captain, the situation immediately improved after our reinforcements arrived, and the reinforcements that arrived looked like a mechanized combat force with high-speed mobility.
The Japanese mechanized combat troops were no match, so they fled toward the Huting stronghold in a car in embarrassment.
The comrades who are reinforcing are riding in armored vehicles, cars and motorcycles, and are in hot pursuit!"
"It's interesting. So, the combat effectiveness of this support soldier is really good?"
"That's pretty awesome..."
Zhang Dabiao was amazed by this and reported to the first and second company commanders the situation of the reinforcement operations at that time.
"Do you know which regiment the team is from?" Li Yunlong asked, feeling deeply in his heart that the commander of this unit is really a damn talent.
“It’s not clear yet!”
Li Yunlong shook his head, "Forget it, I'll ask again later. We, Lao Li, have lost someone this time. We have to find the place. Reinforcements have just arrived. We can't waste this opportunity.
Your battalion immediately consolidates its forces and prepares to launch an attack directly from the west of the Huting stronghold.
Several other battalions launched fierce attacks from three directions: north, south, south, and south at the same time!"
"Yes, leader!"
……
Time goes back ten minutes ago...
Just when the First Company, Second Company, and Third Company were engaged in the battle with the Japanese troops, the Japs' mechanized combat troops even unloaded from their cars and reorganized several infantry cannons. With the help of the firepower of the infantry cannons, they completely suppressed the Eighth Route Army's positions. Boom——
Several sudden big explosions shocked the Japanese and the fighting soldiers. They actually rang directly from the artillery position placed behind the Japanese.
Following these explosions, the Japanese and soldiers heard the sound and fled.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a large number of skirmishers quickly emerging on the vast horizon behind the Japanese mechanized combat troops. They were using military cars, motorcycles, armored vehicles, and even some war horses to move towards the Japanese mechanized troops.
The flanks of the combat troops are galloping, surprise, combat troops wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army.
War horses, cars, motorcycles, armored vehicles, thousands of legs galloping!
On the vast land covered with silver, a series of various snow traces were stepped on.
While this rapidly reinforced mechanized combat force of the Eighth Route Army was galloping, artillery fire continued to roar along with the armored vehicles and cars that followed.
The 75mm howitzers installed on armored vehicles and some military vehicles are incredibly powerful.
The first two shells fired hit the Japanese artillery position at the rear.
There was an explosion in the area of the two Japanese Type 92 infantry cannons, directly destroying the Japanese artillery.
In addition to howitzers, some armored vehicles and modified military trucks even use rotating turrets to carry several heavy machine guns.
Including the co-pilots of the twenty or thirty military motorcycles at first glance, they are also equipped with crooked light machine guns.
A large amount of firepower was like raindrops, pouring towards the Japanese flanking troops during the rapid approach.
For a moment, the little devils who had originally used their firepower advantage to completely suppress the Eighth Route Army.
This mechanized combat unit of the Eighth Route Army was unexpectedly attacked so quickly that it was completely crushed and unable to lift its head.
The warriors on horseback held rifles and rode on horseback, and their marksmanship was amazing.
With the speed of the war horses rushing in, only the crackling of gunshots was heard, and many little devils with the empty door on their back were killed one after another.
At this time, the Japanese artillery fire suddenly stopped.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers hiding behind the fortifications were able to take a breather and poke their heads out of the fortifications to look from a distance.
The sudden reinforcements are like heavenly soldiers and generals.
The fantastic alternative mechanized combat shows unparalleled power at this moment.
The little devils were stunned, and the soldiers were stunned.
In recent years, everyone knows how powerful the mechanized combat troops of the Little Devils are.
But in fact, even the Japs' mechanized combat troops are often equipped with some mechanized vehicles to play a carrying role.
In fact, during combat, in order to ensure the flexibility of the troops to cope with complex battle situations.
The Japanese mechanized combat troops will choose to leave the transport vehicles and fight as infantry.
This is somewhat similar to the combat tactics of light infantry and cavalry, which involves mounting a horse to ride and dismounting to fight.
But the scene in front of him completely overturned the common judgment of the Eighth Route Army and even the little devils.
The mechanized combat force of the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly appeared like a magic weapon descended from heaven, not only possesses a considerable number of mechanized combat vehicles.
They even disguised every tank to the teeth.
It carries light and heavy machine guns, as well as loaded howitzers.
The armored vehicles and modified tanks are like hedgehogs full of sharp thorns, with weapons everywhere and terrifying firepower spraying out from everywhere.
Gudong...
The first company commander couldn't help but swallow when he saw this scene.
He asked subconsciously: "Old Wang, I remember our regiment commander said before that the combat effectiveness of our new second regiment is one of the best even among our Eighth Route Army troops.
Do you still remember this?"
The third company commander nodded, and then blurted out: "You must be bragging again. You still don't know about the captain's old habit?"
The little chicken nodded like it was pecking at rice, and hummed twice in a row.
Count one to two... Then the combat effectiveness of this combat force in front of you can't reach the sky?
A sneeze——
New Second Regiment Headquarters.
Li Yunlong sneezed hard.
"Damn it, who is scolding me behind my back? Communications Corps, have you figured out the situation? Who sent this support army?"
"Including the regiment commander, according to frontline news, it seems to be a mechanized combat unit under Commander Kong!"
"Who?"
"Captain Kong!"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong was stunned, and then he was relieved, "Damn it, I know that no one else has this ability except Kong Erluzi!"
As soon as the topic changed, the look in Li Yunlong's eyes became more determined.
"Lao Kong came at the right time, just in time. Let's take the opportunity to capture the Huting stronghold in one fell swoop!"
