Chapter 187: The Counterattack of the German Armourer
——Chen Liukou
Chenliukou is a ferry. At this time, a squadron of Japanese troops was guarding here, waiting for the Japanese troops on the other side of the Yellow River to transport supplies and logistics here. It was already getting dark, and the Japanese troops stationed here began to get up and wash up one after another.
"Have you heard? There is a fight between Lanfeng and Sanyi Village. There are many Chinese people. I wonder how the division commander and commander are doing." While washing, the Japanese troops began to discuss the war situation with each other.
"Why don't you think about it? We are the 14th Division, and the Chinese are no match for us. We just don't know when our reinforcements will come." A Japanese soldier said as he took the seaweed rice ball handed to him by the cook.
"It's almost here. Didn't you see that the aviation troops have already arrived for reinforcements?" the cook said with a chuckle.
While these Japanese soldiers were eating, Hu Lian's troops were also eating, but they were all lying on the ground to eat. Everyone was passing sesame cakes to each other, which were prepared in the distance and served.
In order to prevent the Japanese army from discovering it.
Hu Lian took a sesame seed cake and ate it all in three mouthfuls. He took out his pistol and looked at his pocket watch. The time slowly came to half past six.
"Start!!!" Hu Lian fired suddenly, and several mortar shells that had been aimed for a long time hit the machine gun point outside the Japanese camp.
"Baga, enemy attack, enemy attack!!!" The Japanese soldiers sitting on the ground eating breakfast at the door quickly spat out the food in their mouths, ran into the fortifications in three or two steps, took their guns and started shooting.
This is a squadron with a total of 180 people, nine light machine guns, nine grenade groups and a temporarily transferred heavy machine gun. The Japanese army's heavy machine guns are generally concentrated in heavy machine gun squadrons, and most ordinary squadrons do not
There will be heavy machine guns.
The only heavy machine gun was set up on the high platform of the ferry. Although the shooting range was very good, it was immediately blown up by the three mortars brought by Hu Lian and could not get close to anyone. After a while, it became
It has become a part state.
"Fight, fight me, take back the ferry and burn all the Japanese food." Hu Lian took the lead and ran to the front line. Bullets passed through his ears from time to time, making the guards next to him tremble with fear.
"Teacher, let us go up, there are only one or two hundred Japanese, it will be fine." The worried guard pushed Hu Lian down three times and then lowered him, and then rushed up with submachine guns.
Although the combat effectiveness of the 24th Division was much lower than before the war started, the weapons and equipment were not left behind. The division guards even held German submachine guns or Mauser pistols. Under the cover of the firing of the infantry behind them, they captured the Japanese camp gate in one fell swoop.
"Haha, there are only such a few little devils. God wants me, Hu Lian, to be famous forever. Kill, kill me!!!" Hu Lian couldn't help but be excited when he saw that he rushed in with only one charge.
"Bounce, jump, jump." Several grenades fired from grenades accurately hit the space between the guards. A dozen of the charging guards fell to the ground, their blood and yellow soil mixed together.
"Mortar!! Suppress it!!" Hu Lian's eyes were like bells and he shouted loudly to the back.
The three mortars quickly calculated their angles and began to counterattack. However, the Japanese grenade launchers were too light and they often ran away after firing. Hu Lian's mortars fired for a long time but failed to completely destroy the Japanese grenade launchers.
The infantry had already attacked the camp, and the Japanese army used the houses in the camp to start defense. For a time, the Japanese army of less than 150 people defeated Hu Lian's 3,000 people evenly.
Hu Lian looked anxious. This was a surprise attack. If it turned into a protracted war, it would be over.
"Report, report to the division, the Japs, the Japs are coming from behind." A soldier came running out of breath and said.
Hu Lian felt a chill in his heart, "Why did it come so fast? It's only been less than twenty minutes. Could it be that the Japs came by flying."
The soldier shook his head and said, "They all came in trucks and have already rushed in. We can't resist them."
Hu Lian looked at Chen Liukou, who was still in a stalemate, and angrily threw his helmet to the ground and cursed, "Who, who is it, who leaked our plan? There must be a spy who leaked the secret, or else the Japanese would
It won’t happen so fast.”
"Plane! Japanese plane!!" Several exclamations made Hu Lian raise his head, but he saw more than a dozen Japanese aircraft arriving on the battlefield at some point. Hu Lian's troops, who had no air defense capabilities at all, were completely suppressed by the aircraft.
Don't dare to look up.
"No way, run away." I don't know who was the first to shout, and Hu Lian's troops began to retreat. The Japanese army in the military camp began a counterattack, watching their troops being chased by the Japanese army, which had less than 100 people.
Hu Lian had a grimace on his face, filled with grief and anger, and was about to commit suicide with a gun.
"Master, please stay in Qingshan. Don't worry about running out of firewood. Let's retreat. You guys hurry up." When the guard captain saw Hu Lian trying to do something stupid, he quickly hugged Hu Lian and ran towards the west with Hu Lian in his arms.
go.
What Hu Lian didn't know was that a large army had gathered on the other side of the river, watching his escape as if watching a show.
"I also wanted to ask whether the Chinese troops in Henan were managed, but it turned out to be nothing more than that." A Japanese general riding a tall horse shook his head and put down his binoculars.
"Division commander, do we want to cross the river?" a staff officer asked.
The general shook his head and said, "General Xiangyue disobeyed military orders so much that the outcome after this battle will not be good. We should follow General Temple's order and stay put until the 14th Division is about to die before we take action.
"
The staff officer nodded and retreated.
——Sanyi Village
At this time, Xue Yue was attacked from two sides. After more than half a year, Xue Yue once again felt the power of heavy artillery. The explosions that shook the earth made Xue Yue's heart tremble.
"Bo Ling, this won't work. The Japanese are using trucks as armored vehicles to keep charging in, and heavy artillery to remove our firepower points. If this continues, I'm afraid we will be cut off by the Japanese army in a day." Wu Yizhi looked at the short video.
The Japanese army, which had already advanced two miles in just an hour, said worriedly.
You must know that there is still a Japanese tank unit in Sanyi Village at this time. If they are united, Xue Yue's three armies (another one has arrived) may collapse faster.
Xue Yue closed his eyes, thinking nervously and said, "Fu Sheng, what do you think we are most afraid of the Japanese army doing?"
Wu Yizhi thought for a while and said, "Of course it was Xiangyue Qingji's tank that rushed out and joined the Japanese army."
Xue Yue opened his eyes and said, "Then I will let him do this, order the troops, strengthen the defense on both wings, repair the fortifications, and put the Japanese into Sanyi Village."
Wu Yizhi looked at Xue Yue and asked in confusion, "Why is this?"
Xue Yue pulled his gloves and said, "The bigger the monster, the more it eats. I don't believe it. How much ammunition can Doihara Kenji and Xiangyue Seiji carry with them? I'm afraid the main logistics are still in Lan Fengcheng and Chenliukou."
, sent a message to Chief Cheng, and asked Chief Cheng to cooperate with the 88th and 87th Divisions behind to capture Lanfeng City. Doihara Kenji must now want to completely tear apart our army. I am afraid there will not be too many people to capture Lanfeng City.
After Lanzhou City is sealed, the situation of our army will change drastically. The tanks and cannons without ammunition and gasoline will not have bayonets to use."
Wu Yizhi said worriedly, "Bo Ling, you are gambling. What if the Japanese army completely disperses us before we capture Lanfeng?"
Xue Yue pulled a glove hard and said, "I don't believe it if I order each battalion or company to fight separately if they are scattered by the Japanese army, and concentrate on the north and south. We, hundreds of thousands of people, cannot swallow up one Japanese division!! Also!"
, where is our plane? Why hasn’t it arrived yet?”
"Plane, our plane is here." A signal soldier shouted cheeringly while holding a telescope.
Xue Yue grabbed the telescope and saw twenty or thirty planes flying over from the west.
Xue Yue threw down the telescope and said, "Guide the plane and ask them to blow up the Japanese heavy artillery for me. This thing is the most annoying."
"Japanese, Japanese plane." The signal soldier from the east also shouted.
Xue Yue picked up the telescope and looked over again, and sure enough he saw a dozen Japanese aircraft flying in.
Xue Yue chuckled and said, "That's it, our air force can make great achievements again."
"No, there are a lot of people in the back," the communications soldier continued to shout.
Xue Yue quickly looked again, only to find that planes kept flying down from the clouds, and they didn't stop for a long time.
This is the aircraft of a battle group of the Japanese army. The basic organization of the Japanese army's aviation force at this time was squadrons, with battle groups above them. Generally, a battle group had two to three squadrons, and a squadron usually had about twenty or thirty aircraft. But this time the Japanese army
There are two squadrons with a total of more than 60 aircraft, including 30 fighter jets.
Xue Yue slowly put down the telescope, feeling extremely sad in his heart. This was the sadness for China's national strength. Xue Yue shook his head desperately to get rid of the feeling of powerlessness. Xue Yue secretly said in his heart, "I am a general, and I must not be weak!!"
Xue Yue continued to pick up the telescope, but saw that the twenty or thirty planes coming from the west did not turn around and run away, but resolutely rushed towards the Japanese aircraft fleet, and a large air battle began. Looking at the people falling from time to time
Military aircraft, Xue Yue slowly saluted a military salute.
——Lan Fengcheng
At this time, Lanfeng City was occupied by a brigade of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army Colonel Shizuo Yokoyama, and there was only one squadron in the city. Due to the battles in the past few days, Lanfeng City had been bombed and basically lost its defensive capabilities, so
Yokoyama Shizuo stationed the main force outside the city.
Yokoyama Shizuo looked at the faint explosion sound in the distance and couldn't help but feel envious. At this moment, he saw a communications soldier running towards him in a hurry.
Yokoyama Shizuo slapped his hands twice and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
The signal soldier nodded quickly and said, "Sorry, there's an urgent call from Minquan County."
Yokoyama Shizuo took it over and looked at it, but it was a telegram that had been lost by Minquan County.
Yokoyama Shizuo looked at the time, and it turned out to be three hours ago. Yokoyama Shizuo cursed, "What's going on? How come the information from three hours ago was only sent now?"
The communications soldier lowered his head and said, "The civil rights radio station was blown up just after the war started. It has just been repaired now."
Yokoyama Shizuo quickly shouted, "It's broken, it's broken, quickly, inform the division commander, and prepare for defense. Minquan and Lanfeng are connected by railway, and the Chinese troops will attack soon."
Lan Feng City was in chaos. All the Japanese soldiers hurriedly walked to their fighting positions and prepared to fight. Within ten minutes, the soldiers on the tower saw countless figures appearing in Lan Feng City.
A blue sky and a white sun military flag are placed everywhere.
A general said jokingly, "It's up to us to regain what Hu Lian lost. This junior brother doesn't seem to have learned well. Let's see if he dares to play zither in the future."
Another general said hehe, "It looks like there are only one brigade of people. Our 88 and 87 divisions can easily swallow them up. But do you want me to go first? As a senior, what do you want me to do?"
Another general said quickly, "You also know that I am a senior, and there is no sense of superiority among seniors. I will come first and order the troops to attack immediately. I, Sun Yuanliang, must fight to the death this time!!!"
Sun Yuanliang should have been promoted because of the battle of Lunan, but because of the delay in this battle, Sun Yuanliang vented all his anger on the Lanfeng defenders.
Not only Lanfeng City, but also Luowang Village, Maji Town and other places around Lanfeng City were surrounded by the National Army that had caught up. The situation changed overnight.
Lanfeng City was the focus of the attack. The 88th and 87th Divisions even carried 75mm field guns and more than 20 mortars, opening up the situation as soon as they opened fire.
Yokoyama Shizuo looked at the Japanese soldiers who were constantly being bombed into the sky, and gritted his teeth with hatred. Due to the fierce battle ahead, Lanfeng City was now full of holes. The National Army used these holes to charge wildly, and the Japanese army ate the bitter fruit they had sown. See
Facing the Nationalist Army attacking from four or five directions, Yokoyama Shizuo was in a hurry and completely lost his sense of proportion.
When Xue Yue received the telegram, he laughed happily and said to Wu Yizhi, "Okay, okay, we are all here. Now what should I do if I see the little devil? Blow me up? Let me see how many bombs you have!!"
——Chen Liukou
Due to the addition of two new brigades, Chen Liukou's military strength has been greatly strengthened. There are also two heavy machine gun squadrons, making Chen Liukou's number of heavy machine guns as high as 24, over a hundred light machine guns, and a number of two thousand.
The mouth becomes extremely strong.
"Mr. Hu, are these Japanese soldiers really powerful?" a middle-aged officer asked Hu Lian next to him.
Hu Lian nodded and said, "Yes, these Japs are accurate and flexible with their marksmanship, so they are difficult to fight."
The officer looked back and said, "Did you all hear that? These are two thousand Japs, the most elite Japs in the Japanese army. What do you think we should do?"
The officers in the circle behind all roared, "Eat him, eat him."
The officer nodded and said, "The entire 46th Division is here, ready to fight. The target is Chen Liukou! The bombardment will begin in half an hour. Brigadier Ma, your troops are the vanguard. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" All the officers stood at attention and replied, then turned and left.
Hu Lian looked at the officer of the 46th Division with envy and said to the officer, "Commander Li, how did you train these things? Your quality is much higher than that of other troops. You see, I am your junior.
Teach me."
Li Liangrong smiled and said, "Junior, our teacher is actually the teaching corps. If your subordinates are like mine, then what else do we call the teaching corps?"
Hu Lian nodded, recalling his men in his mind, and couldn't help but think of training his troops again.
Ma Weilong is a native of Guangxi and was born in the fourth period of Huangpu. He is the commander of the army that successfully broke through in the Nanjing Defense War, so he is extremely famous.
Ma Weilong looked at his pocket watch and looked coldly at Chen Liukou, who was brightly lit in the distance. The tragic scene of Nanjing flashed through his mind from time to time, and his desire to kill the enemy became stronger and stronger.
Finally, the time came, three green signal flares were fired, and dozens of artillery were fired at the same time. Ma Weilong shouted, "Order the entire army to attack!!! All company commanders must be on the front line, and those who retreat will be killed!! Let us start again."
Build your reputation as a moral weapon master! Kill!!"
