After finishing speaking, everything around Shen Qinghua was quiet. Everyone, including Liu Hua, frowned because of this difficult problem and began to quietly think about solutions.
Just when the advance of the group was blocked and Liu Hua and others were thinking about a solution, a breakout force of more than 1,200 people led by General Bin Sanyuan had quietly escaped from Taiyuan City through the north gate.
They followed the main road and marched north quickly. They had no idea that 1,500 soldiers were lying in ambush almost 2 kilometers away from the north gate, waiting for them to take the bait.
Reporting to the commander, a group of Japs came out of the city gate and were coming this way. "Soon, the scouts who had already been ambushing at the city gate told the news to Gao Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the North Gate ambush.
"What the division commander said is indeed true. These little devils are really planning to break out. Haha, but it just happened to give me a big advantage on the plateau. How about how many Japanese troops there are and whether they are equipped with heavy weapons." Hearing the scout
After hearing the report, Gao Yuan felt excited and asked quickly.
"Commander, the total strength of about one and a half battalions does not exceed 1,300 people. In addition, the entire army does not have any other heavy weapons except 12 heavy machine guns. Moreover, through the telescope, there are dozens of Japanese troops surrounding it.
This group of Japanese soldiers seems to be trying to protect one person." The scout quickly told all the things he had directed.
"Well, I'm clear about the situation. You can go down and rest..." Gao Yuan ordered. At the same time, his heart began to get excited. You know, according to what the division commander Liu Hua said, the Japanese Commander-in-Chief Taiyuan would definitely not be able to watch this.
Since General Bin Sanyuan was wiped out by our army along with Taiyuan City, they will definitely find a way to send Bin Sanyuan out of Taiyuan City. It seems that this group of enemies is General Bin Sanyuan, the highest commander of the Japanese garrison in North China.
"Commander Li, inform all troops to prepare for battle. In addition, the artillery group must measure the shooting coordinates for me in advance. When I ask for artillery support, I must ensure that the first shot hits." I thought for a while of the Japanese top commander in North China.
General Guan Bin Sanyuan was about to die in his own hands. Gao Yuan was excited and shouted loudly to Commander Li next to him. At the same time, he also picked up his binoculars and looked towards Taiyuan City where the sound of gunfire could be heard not far away.
Look past.
And just when the soldiers were getting ready for battle and waiting for the Japanese army to get into their ambush circle, the Japanese commander, General Bin Sanyuan, was retreating hastily under the protection of several soldiers. At this time, except for the military uniform on his body,
Apart from being a general, you can no longer see his usual aloof demeanor.
"Baga, Mr. Nakata, why don't you order the soldiers to light torches... How can we march on such a bad road..." The commander, General Bin Sanyuan, once again tripped over the grass on the roadside. With the help of the surrounding guards,
, after standing up, he cursed loudly at the captain who was protecting him.
"Hi, General, there must be many Eighth Route Army scouts around us. If we light torches and march, we will expose our target. At that time, the Eighth Route Army will definitely send a large number of troops to pursue us and encircle and suppress us.
General, please hold on for a few more hours. As long as we wait until dawn, we will have aircraft support. By then, we will no longer be afraid of the elusive Eighth Route Army." Seeing the angry General Bin Sanyuan,
The captain, Major Nakata, quickly explained.
"Baga, Bagya Road, when I return to Peiping, I will definitely dispatch heavy troops to kill all these Eighth Route Army troops." Commander Bin Sanyuan said fiercely, and with the help of several guards, he began to continue the difficult journey.
's march.
And when Gao Yuan was anxiously looking in the direction of Taiyuan, waiting for the little Japs to come and die, under the illumination of the moonlight, several figures suddenly appeared in Gao Yuan's telescope. Looking carefully, he saw only a few Japs.
, holding a rifle with a bayonet already attached, he was constantly searching in the grass on both sides of the road as if facing a formidable enemy.
Needless to say, this must be a search team dispatched by the Japanese army. However, the little devils in this class are only interested in the grass within a few dozen meters of the road. As for the Eighth Route Army's ambush hidden almost a hundred meters away from the road,
There was indeed no interest in the position. This made Commander Gao Yuan slowly relax his nervous mind and began to continue observing.
Under Gao Yuan's gaze, the squad of little Japs quickly walked through the ambush circle of soldiers. At this moment, a large group of enemy troops finally appeared in Gao Yuan's telescope. More than a thousand Japs.
, formed a two-way formation, carrying heavy machine guns, and quickly ran towards their ambush circle. At the same time, in the middle of these troops, Gao Yuan clearly discovered what the scout said. Among the advancing troops, dozens of
The little devils gathered around an officer intentionally or unintentionally.
"It seems that General Bin Sanyuan is really among this group of Japs. He ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle. Without my order, no one is allowed to fire and expose the target." I saw the Japs formation stretching for nearly 500 meters, and
General Bin Sanyuan, who was surrounded by everyone, had a smile on Gao Yuan's lips and quietly ordered to Captain Li behind him.
Just as the soldiers quietly loaded the rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns in their hands, the vanguard of the Japs finally got into the ambush of the soldiers. Followed by the 12 who walked in the middle of the team.
Heavy machine guns. Slowly, more than a thousand Japs, under the watchful eyes of Gao Yuan and others, all entered the ambush circle of the soldiers.
"Start the attack..." Gao Yuan did not put down the telescope in his hand and ordered loudly to Captain Li who was waiting for orders behind him.
"Fire..." Following several orders, the forest that was still silent just now suddenly erupted into a burst of intense gunfire.
"Da da da..." Along the road, 12 heavy machine guns were lined up in a row. At the same time as the order was given, they almost spit out tongues of fire at the little devils on the road. The 12 tongues of fire were like 12 guns harvesting life.
The sickle. Before the Japanese army could react from the shock, it quickly cut 12 large holes in the Japanese army's marching formation. Nearly a hundred little Japs opened fire in less than five seconds.
They all fell under the fire of 12 heavy machine guns from the heavy machine gun battery.
"Da da da, bang bang bang..." What followed the machine gun fire was the light machine gun and the rifles in the hands of the soldiers. In just a moment, the formation of the little Japanese who were advancing rapidly just now was hit by a sudden and dense firepower net.
It was covered and completely suppressed on the road, unable to move.
"Baga, there is an ambush, there is an ambush here..." As soon as he heard the gunfire, the Japanese captain commanded the security forces around General Bin Sanyuan and quickly protected the commander, General Bin Sanyuan. At the same time,
Yes, he ordered loudly to the surrounding soldiers.
It should be said that these Japanese soldiers in a brigade selected by the chief of staff were not good at anything else, but they were very fast in dodging bullets. They did not need the brigade leader's orders. The entire brigade was almost exhausted in this intensive firepower.
About 200 people were lost, and they all lay on the ground.
"Bagya Road. Order two gendarmerie squadrons to protect the safety of His Excellency the General. The remaining troops, under the command of their respective commanders, immediately provide cover. Quick, fire back..." Seeing that his troops were under the enemy's
In the first round of intensive shooting, there were not many casualties. The captain breathed a sigh of relief. He gave a loud order to several messengers around him.
The dark night is very disadvantageous for the soldiers who are fighting an ambush. Because in the dark night, although you have very powerful firepower, you cannot reach the target because you can't find it.
The suddenness of the ambush. But you yourself were constantly shooting, exposing your position in front of the little devil.
"Kill...fire..." Soon, the little Japs lying on the ground, under the command of their respective squad leaders and squadron leaders, reacted from the chaos. Taking the squad as a unit, they began to spray spray on each one.
The flaming machine gun positions fought back. In the rain of bullets fired back by the Japanese, the light and heavy machine guns that had been spitting out flaming tongues just now all went out one after another under the organized counterattack of the Japanese army.
"Artillery, order the artillery group to fire immediately. We must disrupt the formation of the Japanese army. Quick..." Seeing that his first round of shooting did not kill many little Japs. What's more important is that the little Japs are so fast.
When he came to his senses from the chaos, Gao Yuan was shocked.
He knew that the flames ejected from the muzzle of his light and heavy machine guns were a living target in front of the precise riflemen of the Japanese army. He must make the Japanese army continue to be confused in the shortest possible time and continue to become the target of his own machine gunners.
The only ones capable of completing this task are the three mortar companies behind them.
"Boom boom..." Just as Gao Yuan kept looking at the mortar position behind him, the dull sound of mortar shells being ejected finally reached him through the dense gunfire.
Hearing the sound of mortars coming out, Gao Yuan's nervous heart finally relaxed. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his binoculars again and looked at the Japanese position. At the same time, he prepared to use mortar shells.
The fire produced at the moment of the explosion allowed us to take a good look at the Japanese army's formation and prepare for the next battle.
"Boooooo...boom boom boom..." After a huge whistling sound, dozens of artillery shells passed over the heads of the soldiers and quickly hit the road where the Japanese troops gathered. Following the whistling sound,
There was a violent explosion. In an instant, the position, which had been pitch black just a moment ago, was immediately illuminated by the fire caused by the explosions, completely appearing in front of the soldiers.
With the target in hand, the machine gunners who were worried about not being able to find the shooting target breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of the fire caused by the explosion, each machine gunner seized the opportunity to target the place where the Japs were most densely packed.
, and quickly pulled the trigger. Suddenly, the little Japs who had just escaped the first round of sweeps by the soldiers were beaten to pieces in front of this dense firepower network. Countless little Japs were beaten to pieces in this dense firepower net.
In front of the fire, they fell into a pool of blood. And more soldiers lay on the ground, motionless.
However, although the little Jaap lying on the ground escaped the dense firepower net of the soldiers, he could not escape the raindrop-like shells that continued to fall above his head. Amidst the explosions one after another, the Japanese commander had just organized
The small team and squadron that got up were completely scattered by artillery shells and bullets before they could exert any power.
"Bagaya Road... This is a conspiracy. The Eighth Route Army must have prepared in advance here. Baga..." Under the light of the shell explosion, when the captain saw more than a thousand elites he had brought out,
The Imperial Army soldiers fell into a pool of blood one by one under the combined attack of the opponent's artillery fire and heavy machine guns. The captain couldn't help but cursed.
However, despite saying this, the captain was very calm in his heart. He knew that his mission was not to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army, but to protect the general from reaching Peiping safely. Thinking of this, the captain quickly
Arriving in front of General Bin Sanyuan, who was tightly protected by the gendarmerie squadron.
"Your Majesty General, judging from the current situation, we have been surrounded by heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army. In order to complete the task assigned to me by the commander and send you safely to Peiping, I have decided to dispatch two gendarmerie squadrons and a garrison squadron.
The troops are under your command to break through the encirclement to the north. I will lead the remaining three squadrons to conduct a feint breakout to the south to cover your breakout, General. After breaking through the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, we will regroup and move north.
"Seeing General Bin Sanyuan who was also frightened, the captain quickly expressed his decision.
"Yoshi, Nakata-kun, I hope we can all break out safely. If we break out successfully, I hope Nakata-kun can come and join me immediately." After listening to the captain's words, General Bin Sanyuan nodded and said.
"Hi, General, I will definitely live up to your expectations..." After listening to General Bin Sanyuan's words, the captain shook his head speechlessly and said.
Soon, the little Japanese who were suffering under the artillery fire were divided into two under the command of the captain. However, in order to allow General Bin Sanyuan to have enough troops to break out, the captain mobilized three full-strength soldiers.
The squadron was dispatched by General Gui Bin Sanyuan. As for Bin San, he took the remnants of less than two squadrons and all the remaining heavy machine guns of the entire brigade and slowly moved south of the encirclement. And Bin San
General Yuan, with more than 500 troops, slowly moved northward.
"Commander, the little devils have divided their troops..." Of course, under the firelight of the continuously exploding shells, not a single move on the Japanese position escaped. Commander Gao Yuan and others were carefully observing every move on the battlefield.
.Just when the little devils divided their troops, Captain Li, who was lying next to Gao Yuan, quickly reminded him.
"Well, it seems that the little Japanese commander has learned the art of war well, and he also knows how to attack from east to west. Commander Li, let's judge which side of the Japanese general commander is on which side?" Seeing the little Japanese commander dividing his troops, Plateau
He asked the group leader next to him.
"General Bin Sanyuan, I'm sure he must be in the north. On the one hand, there are obviously many more Japs in the north than in the South. In addition, if the Japs break out to the south, they will return to Taiyuan, which is no different from facing death.
Therefore, I am sure that the commander of the Japs must be in the north." After carefully observing the two groups of Japs slowly moving to both sides of the ambush circle on the position, Captain Li next to him replied affirmatively.
"Yes, that's what I mean. Commander Li, ordered the reserve guard company to go into battle immediately to reinforce the third battalion in the north and be sure to block the Japs' breakout. Ordered the artillery group to separate two artillery companies to bombard the Japs in the north.
, an artillery company shelled the Japs breaking out from the south. Tell the artillery company commander that even if he fires all the artillery shells, the Japs can't break out." After listening to Commander Li's words, Gao Yuan nodded secretly and gave a loud order.
road.
"Yes, Commander..." Commander Li took the order and left.
Just as the soldiers rushed to deploy and the artillery group began to reset the bombardment target, the Japanese captain who was responsible for the covering task had already led all the troops to the position. The remaining 8 heavy machine guns of the entire brigade, under the order of the captain,
They were lined up and placed only 200 meters away from the soldiers' positions. At the same time, the remaining more than 300 remaining soldiers, under the command of the captain, all lined up in a battle formation and lay down.
In front of the soldiers' position, they were ready to charge at any time.
"Warriors, the time has come to sacrifice their lives for the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor. For the future of the Empire of Japan, I hope the warriors will march forward bravely and kill all the Eighth Route Army in front of them. The heavy machine gun fires and kills them all." The captain knelt down and knelt down.
Behind the heavy machine gun, he pulled out his command knife and shouted orders to the hundreds of imperial soldiers in front of him.
"Onboard...Onboard...ta da da..." After receiving the order, the little Japs lying in front of the position raised their rifles and shouted loudly. At the same time, the 8 rifles serving as cover
The heavy machine guns also roared one after another, spitting out tongues of flame. In an instant, the dense tongues of flames shot out by the eight heavy machine guns suppressed the four heavy machine guns on the first battalion's position.
"Kill..." Seeing that the firepower fired by the Eighth Route Army in the woods was obviously much weaker. The captain did not give up this opportunity, waved the command knife in his hand, and shouted at the soldiers in front of him. Immediately, he lay down on the ground.
Hundreds of little Japs jumped up from the ground, formed a dense offensive formation, and launched a charge towards the Eighth Route Army position not far away.
"The artillery battery opens fire..." Seeing that the cover-up kid finally moved out, Captain Li, who was guarding the first battalion's position, gave an order loudly to an artillery battery behind him without any hesitation.
