Chapter 426: Encirclement and Annihilation at Baita Mountain (4)
"Kill..." More than 600 little Japs roared at the same time. Each one of them held up the rifle with the bayonet in his hand and launched the last charge before death. Dozens of machine gunners,
Under the personal command of the captain, holding a bunch of light machine guns, he charged quickly, repeatedly using the triggers of the light and heavy machine guns in his hands...
"Da da da..." Even after listening to various light and heavy machine guns, as the Japanese division commander Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara issued the order, they all aimed at the nine tanks that were getting closer and spit out tongues of fire. However, although the Japanese army
The firepower of the tank is so dense that it can almost be described as airtight. However, these bullets are like itching when hitting the tank. They only leave a little white spot on the tank and then shoot countless sparks, but they cannot cause any damage.
The damage was done. The nine tanks faced the dense rain of bullets from the little devils. They lined up in a row without any pause, and moved forward quickly...
Seeing that their intensive firepower had no effect on the tanks in front of them, the little devils were surprised and had no intention of retreating. Instead, under the leadership of their respective commanders, they faced the intensive firepower fired by the Tuckers on the opposite side.
The rain of bullets launched the most commonly used and cruel suicide charge by the Japanese army...
"Kill..." The little Japs held out their rifles in their hands, shouted slogans, and rushed forward quickly, one after another. The soldiers in front were shot and fell, and the soldiers behind took over and continued to charge. Right there
When these Japanese troops were still fifty meters away from the armored battalion, the corpses of more than two hundred soldiers were laid out on a layer on the charging road behind these little devils...
"All the tanks stopped advancing, and the infantry built blocking positions on the spot to resolutely block the last round of counterattack by the little Japs..." Looking at the dense crowd on the opposite side, the little Japs no longer cared about his own life and death. In order to save his troops from
Suffering unnecessary casualties, the commander who led the team wisely ordered the troops to stop the attack and stick to the spot...
"Ta-ta-ta..." In an instant, the nine tanks that had been spitting out black smoke and advancing rapidly stopped immediately, like fixed bunkers, shooting at the little Japanese who were getting closer and closer in front of them.
raindrops of bullets. At the same time, an infantry regiment following the tank, equipped with nine heavy machine guns and dozens of crooked light machine guns, immediately used the cover of the tank to stand in front of the little devil.
In front of me, dense tongues of fire began to spurt out...
A total of more than seventy tongues of flames fired from light and heavy machine guns immediately formed an airtight fire net in front of the Japanese army. In front of this dense fire net, they could rely on the casualties of the soldiers just now and slowly moved forward.
The * little devil was immediately blocked at a distance of fifty meters, motionless. In less than ten seconds, fifty meters away from the position, with the help of the little devil's corpse, layers of
A wall of corpses almost half a meter high...
As for the more than 400 little Japs who had just launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army with high morale, after being fired wildly by more than 70 tongues of fire, there were only about a hundred people left. As for the remaining more than a hundred.
The little devil looked at the wall of corpses that was half a meter high in front of him, and looked at the airtight rain of bullets in front of him, and he was stunned...
"Ah, Bagh Ya Road, the Eighth Route Army is so powerful..." Finally, a division staff officer who had never experienced any major battles couldn't bear it any longer. After shouting, he dropped the weapon he had just received.
The rifle fired a bullet and quickly ran back towards the division headquarters.
As soon as the first kid escaped, there was a second one. He saw piles of corpses of his comrades standing in front of him, broken limbs and broken arms... Those who had long been too frightened to fight.
The little devil, whose morale was high, immediately joined the retreating ranks without any hesitation...
"Baga, has the empire really fallen? Is the Imperial Army of the Great *** Imperial Army really so careless in front of the Eighth Route Army? There will be deserters on the battlefield..." Looking at nearly a hundred soldiers, the Eighth Route Army intensively fired
Under the blow, they retreated in embarrassment, without any appearance of a soldier. Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, the division commander who was commanding from the rear, muttered to himself in disbelief.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, will the machine guns continue to fire? The people rushing over are our own soldiers..." Looking at the more than a hundred imperial soldiers who were getting closer and retreating in embarrassment, they were commanding the light and heavy machine guns to fire.
The captain asked quickly and quietly.
"Baga, keep shooting. These people are deserters on the battlefield. They are not soldiers of our Great *** Empire. There are no such spineless soldiers in the Great *** Empire. All machine guns continue to fire to let these deserters know
, On the battlefield, the imperial army has only two ways out, that is to win the final battle in the district, or to die on the battlefield. Deserters will never be allowed..." After listening to the captain's question, he looked closer and closer in front of him.
, more than a hundred soldiers without any morale. The division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, gave the order harshly without thinking.
"Hi, your Excellency, the division commander... Ta da da..." Just as the division commander finished speaking, a burst of intensive machine gun fire sounded around the division commander. There were more than a hundred young men in front of him who had no morale.
The Japanese were attacked from the front and back, and in the dense fire net. The final result was without any surprises, and the entire army was destroyed.
However, as the last unit in the hands of the division commander was completely destroyed, it was the turn of the Japanese division commander himself. He saw that the hundreds of little Japs in front of him had all turned into corpses. Just now
Stopping, the nine tanks serving as bunkers roared once again and began to move forward...
At a distance of more than 100 meters, nine tanks rushed to the door of the Japanese division headquarters in less than half a minute. Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, the commander of the Japanese division, took him with him.
There were less than a hundred officers of all levels left standing at the door of their headquarters, waiting for the arrival of the Eighth Route Army armored battalion...
"Don't kill if you turn down your gun... Don't kill if you turn your gun..." Seeing the kid in front of them, the highest military rank was a lieutenant general, and there were several major generals and colonels. The soldiers who had completely surrounded them immediately gave up.
The thought of shooting them was shouted loudly at Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, the division commander in the encirclement.
"Kill..." However, the remaining Japs commanders did not seem to intend to walk out of the battlefield alive. Just as the soldiers finished speaking, more than a hundred Japs officers at all levels, headed by the division commander,
They shouted slogans one after another, raised their command swords, and launched their final charge towards the Eighth Route Army opposite them.
"Damn, these little devils are so desperate... Comrades, beat me hard..." Seeing the little devils in front of him who were desperate and refused to surrender until death, a leader of the group couldn't help but have a look on his face.
With a trace of anger, he loudly gave the order to fire to the soldiers around him.
"Bang bang bang...ta da da..." A burst of messy rifle and machine gun sounds rang out. The 14th Division, headed by the division commander Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, had more than a hundred commanders, and even the bodies of the Eighth Route Army were shaken.
If they didn't touch them, they were all killed in this burst of gunfire.
"The guard company is at the enemy division headquarters and continues to search for the remnants of the enemy. Remember, if you find any written information, you must remember to keep it and hand it over to the headquarters. The first battalion cooperates with the first company of the armored battalion, and the second battalion cooperates with the second company of the armored battalion.
The Third Battalion cooperated with the Third Company of the Armored Battalion, with the Little Devils Division Headquarters as the center, to charge at various Japanese positions. We cooperated with the surrounding main forces to create a center for the Little Devils. Do you all understand your mission?"
Looking at the dead Japanese division commander in front of him, the commander loudly ordered to the commanders around him.
"Yes, commander..." Soon, the three main forces split into three with the roar of the tanks, quickly dispersed around, and began to gallop back and forth on the Japanese position. Three meat grinders were like
The attack formation, on the huge Japanese position, continued to consume the remaining Japanese troops. As for the regiment security company, they rushed into the Japanese regiment headquarters to search for all valuable intelligence...
Finally, after almost an hour passed again, the gunfire on the entire position slowly began to stop. Looking around, the entire battlefield was already brightly illuminated by the ubiquitous bonfires, and the remaining enemies had been eliminated.
The soldiers, in squad units, began to search the huge battlefield for possible fish that might have slipped through the net.
And more soldiers have joined the ranks of cleaning the battlefield. One by one, stretchers carrying the seriously wounded or the bodies of fallen comrades, exited the battlefield. Soldiers, one by one, carefully walked on the huge battlefield.
The searchers scattered bullets, weapons and ammunition, not even a shrapnel...
"Report to the commander that the battle has ended successfully. The more than 14,000 Japanese troops from the 14th Division who entered the mountain, from the division commander down, were all wiped out by our army. Among them, 124 Japanese troops were captured, and countless supplies and ammunition were seized.
, are now being counted. In addition, the losses of various units are also being counted. I think that all statistics should be completed before dawn..." As the battle subsided, the atmosphere in the temporary headquarters of the military division also changed.
Slowly becoming active. Whether it was Commander Wang Nanhu or an ordinary combat staff officer, he always had a smile on his face no matter what he did. But at this moment, the chief of staff ran in with excitement on his face and reported loudly.
"Okay, a good fight. From the beginning of the battle to the final end, we only spent six hours. The fight was great. Chief of Staff, there are still four hours at most before dawn, and the reinforcements from the Little Japanese planes
Time. Four hours later, all troops must immediately retreat into the mountains..." After listening to the chief of staff's report, Commander Wang Nanhu couldn't help but slapped a table piled with ammunition boxes in front of him, with excitement on his face.
commanded.
"Yes, Commander, I will go and deliver the order right away..." the Chief of Staff replied loudly.
"Wait a minute, Chief of Staff. Lao Wang, this is what I think. On the ground, we have already tidied up the Japanese troops and wiped them out. Look, can we expand our results and fight in the sky?
A victory. You know, in the battle tonight, the two regiments supported by the air defense brigade have not fired yet..." Looking at the chief of staff who was hurriedly preparing to leave, the political commissar Chen Guogeguo on the side quickly called him
He came back and said thoughtfully.
"Old Chen, what you mean is to ask the military region to support our two air defense regiments and stage an ambush here for the planes coming for reinforcements..." After hearing what Chen Gege said, Wang Nanhu, his old partner
, was the first to react immediately.
"Yes, Lao Wang, that's what I mean. If early tomorrow morning, the little Japanese planes coming for reinforcements find that one of our divisions has been wiped out by us. What do you think these little Japanese pilots will do?
?" Looking at Commander Wang Nanhu who already understood what he meant, Political Commissar Chen Gegeru continued to ask.
"Needless to say, according to the kid's mentality of revenge, he must want to find our main force, and then carry out crazy revenge. Even if he can't find our main force, he will bomb a lot in our base area...
However, if the latter is the case, then the people in the base area will suffer." Wang Nanhu replied.
"Old Wang, you are right. The purpose of ambushing the Japs' planes is to expand the results of our battle. From another perspective, it is to transfer all the Japs' revengeful emotions to our troops and reduce the suffering that the common people may suffer.
Hurt." Chen Revolutionary answered affirmatively.
"Old Chen, I agree with your plan. Which unit do you think we should use as bait and how to arrange it specifically..." After listening to the political commissar's words, Commander Wang Nanhu also discovered the seriousness of the problem. He quickly walked to the sand table.
, asked his old partner Chen Gegeru.
"Old Wang, look here, surrounded by mountains, it is an absolutely ideal battlefield..." As he spoke, the political commissar pointed to the artillery position of the heavy artillery regiment at this moment.
"Artillery position? Well, the terrain here is indeed very powerful for us. More importantly, all the anti-aircraft artillery of the two anti-aircraft regiments are also arranged on these hills. There is no need to make any moves at all... But
, what should we use to lure the enemy?" Wang Nanhu asked thoughtfully, looking at the artillery positions surrounded by mountains.
"Of course the artillery position uses artillery to lure the enemy. During the night battle, the dozens of various mountain and field guns assembled by the little devils should be destroyed by us. Let the soldiers transport these blown gun barrels to the artillery position
, and made a little arrangement. I think that the little devil pilots should not be able to find any flaws at an altitude of several hundred meters... At that time, as long as the little devil's plane drops bombs at low altitude, all the prevention and control artillery will fire... Of course, as for the specifics
We have no say in how we will fight, we have to listen to the frontline commanders." Political Commissar Chen Gegeru replied affirmatively.
"Okay, let's fight like this... Chief of Staff, immediately follow the orders of the political commissar to convey the order. As for the specific tasks, leave them to the two main regiments, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment... During the battle, they almost
They are serving as a battle reserve team, and now is the time for them to go to the battlefield..." Wang Nanhu also ordered with confidence.
"Yes, Commander, Political Commissar, I will arrange it right away..."
As the order from the headquarters was issued, the two main regiments, with more than 4,000 soldiers, rushed to the battlefield. On the Japanese artillery position, several people worked in groups, carrying the bombed artillery pieces one by one, and fired them with their own strength.
He moved towards the position of the heavy artillery regiment as quickly as possible.
A total of more than twenty bombed artillery pieces were finally transported to the artillery position a few kilometers away before dawn. After almost half an hour of arrangement, an artillery group suddenly appeared in the heavy artillery position just now.
Up. Looking at the blown-up artillery pieces that were once again erected at the bottom of the mountain, the soldiers of the two anti-aircraft regiments stationed on several mountain tops almost burst into smiles.
"Comrades, the artillery at the foot of the mountain was specially prepared for us by Commander Wang. Commander Wang said that in yesterday's battle, all units achieved fruitful results, and our air defense force cannot do without it. Therefore, Commander Wang also gave us air defense
The army has prepared a great gift. Whether we can seize this opportunity depends on ourselves. Comrades told me whether they have the confidence to teach the little Japanese Air Force a lesson and let them know that our Eighth Route Army is not easy to mess with...
"Looking at all the commanders above the company level in front of him, the commander of the air defense regiment shouted loudly.
"Yes..." dozens of commanders above the company level shouted loudly.
"Okay, after the meeting, all troops will prepare for combat and wait for my order to fire. No one can expose the target in advance before the order to fire. Are you clear?" Looking at the high-morale commander in front of him, the regiment leader continued.
said.
"Clear…"
As the combat order was issued, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and dozens of heavy machine guns reinforced by the main force had already been deployed on various hills. At the same time, they raised their black muzzles and muzzles, quietly waiting for the little devils.
The arrival of the plane. All the soldiers' eyes were staring at the sky without blinking, hoping that the little Japanese plane would come over quickly.
Finally, amidst everyone's expectations, the sky finally lit up. After a night of fierce fighting on the battlefield, as the sun slowly rose, it came into everyone's field of vision bit by bit. This is
At this moment, on the battlefield with a radius of several kilometers, apart from the messy corpses of the little Japanese soldiers, there was only a stream of gunpowder smoke that was still rising, indicating that a very tragic battle had just occurred here.
fighting.
As for the more than 20,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers and the large amount of captured heavy equipment, before dawn, with the efforts of the soldiers carrying them on their backs, they were all transported into the mountains, leaving not even a trace behind.
More than a thousand soldiers from two anti-aircraft regiments stood in the mountains surrounding the artillery positions, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese planes.
