Five hundred and fiftieth chapters turtle in the urn
Chapter 555 Turtle in the Urn
Ten minutes later, with the efforts of the engineer squadron, the wreckage of several trucks blocking the front of the convoy had been cleared. Dozens of engineer soldiers were holding pieces of mine detection equipment and began to clear the remaining mines on the road.
.At the same time, the casualty report of the entire army was also summarized in the hands of the chief of staff...
"Chief of Staff, how are the troop casualties?" Looking at the frowning Chief of Staff in front of him, Colonel Matsuda asked...
"Captain, after statistics, our Matsumoto regiment has lost a total of 54 trucks since its departure. 1,124 infantrymen were killed directly, including Major Jingchuan of the 1st Infantry Battalion. In addition, a total of 196 soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries.
People... So far, our Matsuda Regiment has 2,268 combat troops left..." the chief of staff reported in a low voice...
"Bastard, it's all caused by this cunning sneak attacker, Bagya Road! Sooner or later, I will wipe them all out with my own hands... Order the engineer squadron to speed up the demining... After the passage is opened, the troops will move forward immediately. This time,
The entire infantry regiment no longer sends forward troops, and the troops march together as a group, leaving no opportunity for cunning sneak attackers..." After a brief moment of anger, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Matsuda, ordered loudly...
Compared with the low morale of the little devils, at this moment, all the commanders and fighters of the Third Brigade of the advance detachment that completely annihilated the Japanese vanguard troops had a smile of relief on almost everyone's face... Similarly, Li Guodong, as the captain of the battalion,
Seeing the various trophies piled up in front of me, I also had a smile on my face...
"Captain, the results have been calculated..." Just when Captain Li Guodong was still immersed in the joy of victory, Captain Wang Youzhi of the First Squadron rushed over with excitement on his face and pulled himself out of his dream.
Wake up with a start...
"Quick, tell us, how many little devils have we eliminated in these three ambush battles..." Li Guodong asked with a smile on his face...
"Captain, after statistics, after three ambush battles, we wiped out a standard infantry brigade of the Japanese army, with a total of 916 people, including a major captain... As for the results achieved by the reconnaissance squadron, after preliminary statistics, at least it caused damage to the main force of the Japanese army.
We suffered more than 300 casualties... In addition, during the three ambush battles, we seized a total of 6 heavy machine guns, 8 mortars, 28 light machine guns, a total of 589 various rifles and pistols, and 16 grenade launchers.
...As for all kinds of ammunition, it can be said to be countless..." Looking at the list of supplies in his hand, Wang Youzhi said with excitement...
"Okay, we have achieved such huge results in just two hours of blocking the Japs. Well done... However, there are more serious problems waiting for us in the next time... Comrades, it's time
I am already happy, now I will issue a new combat order..."
The enemy changed and we changed. Although the remaining 2,000 Japanese troops marched together in a group under the orders of Colonel Matsuda. However, under the obstruction of the third group and a large number of landmines, the marching speed of the entire regiment was
It can be said to be very slow. What's more important is that under the sniper fire of dozens of sharpshooters from the advance detachment, almost every step the entire army takes will cost the casualty of at least one soldier...
In this way, time passed by. Less than ten kilometers away, more than two thousand Japanese soldiers, although they had a large number of trucks, walked for more than ten hours to complete this section with difficulty.
A road sprinkled with the blood of soldiers...
At this moment, when the city wall of Baishan County is in sight, the Songtian Regiment of more than 2,000 people has only more than 1,800 people left. And among these more than 1,800 people
Among the Japanese soldiers, there were nearly 300 wounded soldiers of various kinds... It can be said that on this dozens of kilometers of road, under the attacks of the Third Brigade along the way, the entire Matsuda Regiment paid nearly
Half of the casualties…
"Baishan County, our Matsuda regiment has finally seen you..." Looking at the city wall of Baishan County not far away, the captain of the regiment, Matsuda Osaka, muttered to himself...
"However, your Excellency, Captain, in order to reach Baishan County, the price our Songtian Regiment paid is really too high. A total of 1,500 heroic Imperial Army soldiers died in the hands of those cunning sneak attackers.
..." Looking at the incomplete troops behind him, almost half of the troops were missing. The chief of staff said with a sad face...
"Chief of Staff, in accordance with the order of the division commander, our Matsumoto regiment arrived at Baishan County in advance. It was originally intended to act as a bait for the entire battle and drag the enemy into Baishan County. Before departure, I was fully mentally prepared.
.However, now that we have arrived at Baishan County, I will never give up on those cunning sneak attackers and annihilate them all in Baishan County..." Colonel Matsuda clenched his fists and cursed with hatred...
"Hey, your Excellency, the captain, please issue an order immediately. This time, I will personally lead the troops to charge and eliminate these cunning attackers..." The chief of staff put his feet together, saluted, and then replied loudly...
"Yo Xi, now I order the mortar squadrons of each brigade to immediately build artillery positions. Ten minutes later, they will bombard the city wall of Baishan County for ten minutes. Then, the second brigade will act as a forward to attack Baishan County and occupy Baishan.
County seat..." Looking at one kilometer away, there was no movement, just like a Baishan County seat with its mouth open and waiting for you to take the bait. Colonel Matsuda, the captain of the regiment, ordered loudly...
"Hi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander, I am here to convey the order..." After saying that, the Chief of Staff hurriedly ran towards the troops behind him...
Ten minutes later, as the commander of the regiment issued the order, the remaining three infantry brigades and three mortar squadrons of the entire Matsuda regiment, totaling more than thirty mortars, all raised their dark muzzles.
Aiming at the city wall of Baishan County, which was one kilometer away and showing no movement...
After receiving the report from the chief of staff, he saw more than thirty mortars neatly behind him, emitting bursts of cold light. Colonel Matsuda's decadent mind was stirred up again, and he looked at the chief of staff beside him with an excited expression.
said…
"Chief of Staff, with so many mortars, as long as ten minutes of bombardment is carried out, I believe that the enemy troops on the walls of Baishan County will be blown to pieces... Now I order the artillery troops to open fire immediately. Ten minutes
From now on, the Second Infantry Brigade will launch an attack. They must capture Baishan County within an hour...
"Everything..." There was a dull sound of mortar shells being ejected. More than thirty shells immediately flew into the sky with a trace of orange flames. Then, they fell heavily on the high ground in Baishan County.
On the city wall…
Suddenly, the entire city wall was reminded of a thunderous explosion. In an instant, the entire city wall was enveloped in the fire and smoke generated by the explosion of the artillery shells...
"Yo Xi, the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible. The cunning Chinese people have no guts to compete face-to-face with the Imperial Japanese Army...order the artillery troops to continue firing on me and wipe out all the enemies on the city wall.
..." Looking at the effect of the concentrated attack of more than thirty mortars, Colonel Matsuda once again showed a knowing smile on his face...
"Captain, the kid's artillery fire is really fierce. If it continues like this, in just ten minutes, the entire city wall will be blown into ruins. However, if the kid commander Matsuda Colonel knew, he spent more than a thousand rounds
The artillery shells only blew up a pair of scarecrows in military uniforms. I wonder what he would think..." Outside Baishan County, in a dense forest behind the Japanese Matsuda Regiment, he has been promoted to deputy of the first brigade of the advance detachment.
Captain Wang Hong said to the captain Liu Xiaogang beside him, his words full of excitement...
"Well, Wang Hong, your scar has just healed and you have forgotten the pain. If the commander hadn't personally sent a telegram, asking your first brigade to withdraw from Baishan County and create an empty city plan for the little Japanese Songtian Regiment. At this time,
Those who were bombed on the city wall were not a pair of scarecrows, but your first team..." Liu Xiaogang said angrily...
"Captain, I know I was wrong... This time, I promise to command the First Brigade and fight this battle well. I will live up to the expectations of you and the commander of me..." Faced with Liu Xiaogang's gaze, Wang Hong laughed.
replied...
"Okay, the battle is about to begin. However, you have to remember that the commander's order is very clear. In this battle, we must not only control the casualties of the troops, but also not let go of even a little Japanese from the Matsuda Regiment.
More importantly, we must hold back the main force of the Japs and let them know that our advance detachment is still in Baishan County..." Liu Xiaogang said with a serious face...
"Yes, Captain... Captain, don't worry, I, Wang Hong, promise to complete the mission..."
"Telegraph operator, immediately send a telegram to the 1st and 2nd Squadrons hidden in the city, telling them not to act rashly. After the Japanese army captures the entire city wall and enters the county seat, they will launch another counterattack. I want these little devils' artillery fire to be ineffective.
We have to trap them on this bare city wall..." After receiving the order from the captain, Wang Hong immediately took over the command of the entire brigade and ordered loudly to a radio operator behind him...
"Yes, vice-captain..."
"The order goes down, the third and fourth squadrons, get ready for battle. After receiving the order to attack, immediately occupy the Japanese artillery position, drive all the little Japanese outside the city into the county town, and compress them onto the bare city wall. Today, we,
Let the little devil catch a turtle in a jar..." As the operator began to send the telegram, Wang Hong immediately ordered to the two squadron leaders behind him...
"Vice Captain, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission..."
Two squadrons, more than 400 special forces members, under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, loaded their bullets and slowly moved towards the back of the Japanese army. At this moment, the Japanese commander Matsuda Colonel was still immersed in the shelling.
In his joy, he had no idea that at this moment, one of his regiments had already entered the first brigade of the advance detachment, and was surrounded by a carefully prepared encirclement for him...
Of course, at this moment, it is already a critical moment when the bow is on the string and has to be fired. There is no time for the commander of the regiment, Colonel Matsuda, to hesitate. Because, the ten-minute bombardment is over in the blink of an eye... The bombardment that enveloped the city wall
The smoke of gunpowder has slowly dissipated. The entire city wall has become devastated after being baptized by more than a thousand cannonballs...
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Second Infantry Group has been prepared and may launch an attack at any time..." At this moment, the captain of the Second Infantry Group stood confidently in front of Colonel Matsuda and said excitedly...
"Yo Xi, very good. Ono-kun, I hope you will not disappoint me, conquer Baishan County occupied by the enemy in one fell swoop, and occupy it. Use the enemy's heads and blood to tell all Chinese people that the Japanese Empire is invincible..."
Looking at the confident captain in front of him, Colonel Matsuda nodded with satisfaction and ordered...
"Hai, your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, I humbly promise to complete the mission and plant the flag of the Empire of Japan on the top of the city of Baishan County again. Use the blood of the Chinese to wash away the shame our Matsuda regiment suffered on the march...
"After saying that, regardless of the encouragement from the commander behind him, he quickly ran towards his troops...
"Kill...ta da da..." Just as the captain left, in less than a few minutes, the Japanese army began the second step of attacking Sanbanaxe, suppressing heavy machine gun fire... The Second Infantry Brigade
As well as the 3rd and 4th brigades, more than 30 heavy machine guns belonging to the three heavy machine gun squadrons lined up in a row and fired bullets like rain at the wall of Baishan County a few hundred meters away...
At the same time, a thunderous cry of killing rang out from the starting position of the Japs. Under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns, the Second Infantry Brigade, which had lost more than half, and more than 400 Japs soldiers, patted the skirmish line,
Shouting slogans, carrying siege ladders, they rushed towards the city wall of Baishan County not far away...
Seeing his troops getting closer and closer to the city wall, the face of Captain Matsuda was slowly covered with a smile. However, within a few minutes, Colonel Matsuda's face turned from sunny to gloomy. Because
, his troops have rushed to the corner of the city wall, but they still have not been blocked by the defending troops...
Faced with such a situation, based on my understanding of the Anti-League, there are only two situations that can happen. One is that the Baishan County in front of me has long been deserted, and all the enemy troops have already retreated. The other reason is that my opponent is...
Prepared a very huge conspiracy, waiting for you...
However, just when Captain Matsuda, the commander of the regiment, was frowning and thinking about possible changes, the 2nd Infantry Battalion with high morale had already passed the siege ladder and easily climbed onto the already empty city wall.
…
"Captain, come up, the troops have rushed up. The second brigade has successfully occupied the city wall..." Seeing that the imperial army flag was flying on the top of Baishan County City, the equally nervous look on the chief of staff's face immediately showed
He smiled and said excitedly to the captain next to him...
At this moment, a messenger rushed to the commander of the regiment, Colonel Matsuda, with an excited look on his face: "Report to your Excellency, commander of the regiment and chief of staff, that our Second Infantry Brigade has successfully occupied the city wall. However, after searching, the entire
No Chinese people were found in the city walls and county seat...The entire Baishan County is an empty city..."
"Nani, without the Chinese, it is an empty city. How is that possible? Baga, we have been fooled, Chief of Staff. The Chinese who kept attacking us along the way must have wanted to slow down our march and eventually give their main force,
To win more transfer time, it must be like this..." Captain Matsuda Osaka reacted fiercely and said...
"No, the main force led by the division commander is trying to come here. The entire Mengshan area is empty of troops. Could it be the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain? Quick, send a telegram to the division commander immediately. The enemy has already
Abandon Baishan County, my advance regiment has lost its target..." Colonel Matsuda continued to order...
"Da da da..." However, before the communications staff had time to leave, a sweet sound of machine gun fire reached the ears of all the little devils... In an instant, behind the main force of the Japanese army, there was a dense forest that was silent just now.
, dozens of dense tongues of fire immediately appeared. And these hot tongues of fire were constantly harvesting the lives of the little devils...
"Baga, where did the gunfire come from? Chief of Staff, what happened behind the scenes..." Hearing the intensive gunfire, Captain Matsuda immediately looked in the direction of the gunfire, with an anxious look on his face.
asked…
At this moment, a lieutenant officer panted and ran over from the rear of the team. Seeing the commander of the regiment, Colonel Matsuda, the lieutenant officer immediately reported breathlessly...
"Captain, the rear of the unit was suddenly attacked by the Chinese. The enemy had a large amount of light and heavy firepower. Without the cover of heavy machine guns, our Fourth Infantry Battalion suffered heavy losses and could hold on for at most ten minutes. Captain, please immediately
Entering the city, the Fourth Infantry Brigade is responsible for covering..."
"Nani? The rear guard of the army was attacked... Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army, they actually hid behind us and wanted to catch us off guard. They destroyed us outside the city, Bagh Ya Road!... Chief of Staff, ordered the troops
Enter the city immediately. The Second Infantry Brigade that has already entered the city is using the city wall for cover. No matter what, we must block the Chinese attack..." After a brief shock, Colonel Matsuda immediately reacted and ordered loudly...
In an instant, the two infantry brigades with more than a thousand soldiers still trapped outside the city rushed towards the county gate one kilometer away...
"Comrades, rush up and drive all the little Japs into the county town... da da da..." Looking at the rapidly retreating little Japs, the two squadrons at the rear of the Japanese army, with more than 400 soldiers, immediately led by deputy captain Wang Hong.
He jumped down and rushed out of the woods where he was hiding. He followed closely behind the little Jaap and used the machine gun in his hand to shoot and kill the little Japs behind him...
