Two hundred and fifty-four chapters candle dragon - the third stage (three)
Shigeru Fujita looked at the dim night scene and the surrounding desolate fields, felt the trembling of the tank beneath him, and then looked back at the trucks carrying soldiers one after another. He couldn't help but feel the urge to write poetry. He waved his hand and shouted: "
Pause!"
The Japanese tank troops are extremely well-trained and follow orders and prohibitions. I only saw Fujita Shigeru's command vehicle waving the red marquee flag, and the tanks behind them stopped one after another. At this time, there were no radios in the Japanese tanks.
It can only be directed with flags.
Shigeru Fujita got out of the car, found a big stone on the side of the road and said, "Come here, bring me some pen and ink."
Most of the officers of the Japanese army graduated from military academies and generally have high cultural literacy. Although Fujita Shigeru did not enter mainland China, he was also graduated from a sergeant academy. He wrote at the time, "My feet are on the barren land, my mind is on Yamato Castle. I captured the enemy chieftain and praised my merits."
Changheden.——Moti Fujita before defeating the 150,000 Eighth Route Army!" After writing, he nodded and said, "Keep moving forward!!"
It would take two hours for people to walk more than ten kilometers, but for Shigeru Fujita's detachment, who were either riding horses or riding chariots or trucks, it only took about half an hour to arrive at Tamura, which is only two kilometers away from Lijiazhuang.
, here, the pioneer engineers have begun to build basic fortifications and material storage points.
Shigeru Fujita looked at his pocket watch. When the time reached four in the morning, he said, "Order to inspect and maintain the tanks and weapons again. We will start eating half an hour later and start setting off at five in the morning. Our goal is to break through Lijiazhuang at noon."
Position. Order the engineers to go ahead and pay attention to the Chinese mines!"
Time passed quickly, and looking at the sky turning blue, Shigeru Fujita shouted, "Order the troops to prepare for the attack! The tank regiment is in front, the infantry regiment is in the back, the cavalry regiment is covering on the left and right, all the artillery is fired at the same time, and the aviation force is called."
Back up the cover for us!”
At five o'clock, Shigeru Fujita's detachment began to set off, and the Japanese army slowly dispersed into a battle formation. By the time Fujita Shigeru could see the front without the need for lights, he had already arrived in front of the Lijiazhuang position and looked at the quiet scene in front of him.
At the position, Shigeru Fujita smiled and said, "Do you think these Chinese people have been frightened out of their wits?"
The officer in the chariot next to him smiled and said, "Of course, there are so many chariots, even if they are made of steel and iron, they won't be able to hold them up."
Shigeru Fujita touched the beard on his chin, pulled out his command sword and swung it forward, saying "Attack!!"
The infantry guns and mortars carried by the "Bang Bang Bang" infantry wing were the first to speak. Both of these guns were rapid-fire guns. The Japanese army used trucks to transport them and carried a lot of ammunition. The Japanese army no longer cherished them and kept firing.
Shigeru Fujita saw that the Eighth Route Army position one kilometer in front of him seemed to have turned into a boiling pot. The flying soil, trees, bricks and tiles as well as the occasional flying mechanical parts made Fujita Shigeru extremely satisfied. But unfortunately, it was basically
There were no bodies of people who were blown away. From the telegram, he already knew that the fortifications dug by the Eighth Route Army this time were very good, and ordinary shelling had little effect. But the shelling exploded a lot of people in front of the positions.
The mines also destroyed a lot of barbed wire and antlers, which made Shigeru Fujita very satisfied. After all, the Japanese tanks were not big, so he was still a little distressed when they really hit them.
"Attack!!" Shigeru Fujita shouted again, waving two flags as a signal, and more than 70 tanks divided into three lines and rushed forward. One or two squads of Japanese troops gathered around the tanks, and more Japanese troops were hiding behind
Behind the chariot, they bent down and followed the charge.
"Hit!" shouted, and countless projectiles flew out from all corners. Bullets from heavy machine guns, light machine guns and rifles hit the tank, making a constant "dang-dang" sound. The shining sparks made Fujita in the distance
Mao's incomparable pride, Chinese people, have you seen it? This is the sign of civilization, this is the pride of the empire. You can't resist this swaying soldier with your little cleverness. Bullets against tanks? Bayonets against cannonballs? It's simply a joke.
A Type 89 tank slowly adjusted its body, completely ignoring the machine gun fire that was only thirty or forty meters away. It aimed a shell at the machine gun point. The 57mm shell easily blew up the machine gun fortification.
An Eighth Route Army soldier who was holding an explosive pack and wanted to rush over was knocked to the ground by the surrounding Japanese soldiers with rifles and stopped moving.
"Retreat!" When the garrison commander behind the village saw that the Japanese troops had rushed into Zhuangzi, he no longer wanted to fight and ordered the troops to retreat immediately.
When Shigeru Fujita saw the Eighth Route Army's flag backward, he clapped his hands happily and shouted, "Hey, Tubal Road is nothing more than this. It didn't even take half an hour. I overestimated them. I ordered the troops to pursue them for 500 meters and then withdraw, and again
After maintaining the tank, attack Huazhi Village! Send a message to Commander Tada Shun. We won the first battle and the Eighth Route Army's forward position has been captured by us."
Shun Tada had just gotten up at this time. The battles of the past few days reminded him of the trench warfare in Europe, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored. He had already ordered artillery from the rear, but the long road and the helpless road conditions were really
I don't want to mention it again.
Takeda Takeo walked in and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, this is a good report from Fujita Shigeru. We have captured Lijiazhuang. He is now attacking Huazhi Village. I believe he will be able to send back battle reports soon."
Shun Tada asked with his eyes widened, "How is the situation? What are our losses?"
Takeda Takeo smiled and said, "It went very well. We only had one tank that broke down on the battlefield. The other tanks were all intact. The troop losses and casualties were only twenty or thirty people. It is estimated that the Chinese lost more than a hundred people. This was because Fujita Shigeru did not do it for the sake of stability."
The result of a vigorous pursuit.”
Shun Tada nodded and said, "Well, yes, the progress is very fast. How long has it been? Where are the aviation troops?"
Takeda Takeo smiled and said, "We have already set off. Probably the first batch will arrive when Fujita attacks Huazhi Village. This time, in order to continue the cover, the aviation force will set off in groups of six aircraft, a total of two teams. It is said that this can be maintained all the time."
There are planes over Shigeru Fujita's troops."
Tada Shun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is this the so-called killing of chickens with a bull's-eye?"
Takeda Takeda nodded and smiled and said, "This is a lion fighting a rabbit, and it is also with all its strength. By the way, news just came that there seems to be small groups of guerrillas attacking our strongholds in various places, and they are currently fighting."
Tada Shun said nonchalantly, "Those are just some small units that were left out. They are harmless. As long as we eliminate these hundreds of thousands of Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army will no longer be relevant. Then Chiang Kai-shek's intermediary in Chongqing will help us eliminate the remaining Eighth Route Army."
of."
Tada Shun walked out and was about to go to Xiaoyi to see if the Eighth Route Army had wavered. But behind him, Takeda Yixiong felt as if his heart was shaking. In his arms were several emergency telegrams, but they were from Taiyuan City reporting on Pingxing Pass and Niangzi Pass.
, telegrams from Yanmen Pass, Hongti Pass, Qinglong Gorge and other places, but they are not about attacks and battles, but all reports of lost battles. Relying on his intelligence in charge, he temporarily intercepted these telegrams, but even if he
He couldn't intercept them for more than two hours. After two hours, he had to report these telegrams to Tada Shun. This was thanks to the fact that the 20th Division where he was currently was not stationed at these checkpoints. Otherwise, Ushijima would definitely come directly to Tada Shun.
Report the situation.
And whether the Eighth Route Army could withstand Shigeru Fujita's attack, whether this time it was better to close the door and beat the dog, or to scare the snake. Two hours... Takeda Takeo couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, it's really not that difficult. Where is the front?" Shigeru Fujita asked. Behind him was a defensive position in a mess. The broken blue sky and white sun flag on the position indicated the identity of the defeated side.
The Japanese soldiers in steel helmets kept inspecting the corpses of the Eighth Route Army soldiers who died in the battle with bayonets.
The staff officer next to him said, "Ahead is Yifeng Nan Village. After passing this village, we will reach the front line of Sanquan Town. Captain, do you think we can capture Sanquan Town today?"
Fujita Shigeru laughed loudly and said, "That's hard to say. Okay, just fix it for twenty minutes and move on!!"
——Yangjiazhuang
Boss Peng snorted and said, "You kid must be very proud now. More than 400 casualties have finally surrounded you. I ordered the Fenyang direction to prepare troops. Once the Japanese army flees, they will intercept and kill them immediately. By the way, 203 is not always noisy."
Do you want his troops to go to the big battlefield for training? Let his troops go to Zhangjiacun, but he is not allowed to go, which will save you nagging every day. Let Yan Hongyan give me a good fight and completely defeat the arrogance of the Japanese.
Lose!!"
——Yi Feng Nan Village
The terrain of Yifeng South Village is dozens of meters higher than the surrounding area. Yan Hongyan, who has been preparing here for a long time, is constantly patrolling the traffic trenches. In order to fight this battle well, this position of only three to four square kilometers has concentrated more than thirty recoilless guns.
artillery and more than 20 combat anti-aircraft guns facing the north. There are also more than 60 anti-aircraft machine guns and more than 20 anti-aircraft guns set up around the village for air defense. There are three to four thousand people in the entire position. Behind Yifeng South Village
In the woods, nearly a thousand cavalry troops and assault vehicle troops from the Eighth Route Army headquarters were ambushed.
"Coming, coming." As the communication soldiers shouted, Yan Hongyan quickly took a look through the binoculars, and sure enough he saw rows of tanks and Japanese troops approaching in a mighty manner, about one kilometer away from the position.
At that place, the Japanese artillery began to fire, and countless artillery shells hit the Yifeng South position.
"Hold down, hold down, don't fire, everyone is waiting for orders!!" Yan Hongyan shouted loudly.
Bombs continued to explode in the position. Three or four square kilometers was not that big. The bombs quickly plowed through the village's position. But these shells were not of much use against the reinforced fortifications.
700 meters, 600 meters, 500 meters. Looking at the calm Yifeng South position, Shigeru Fujita was not surprised. The Eighth Route Army, which did not have anti-armor weapons, could only wait for the Japanese army to approach and use explosives to destroy its tanks.
.
"Attack!!" Yan Hongyan saw that the Japanese army's tank was already at a distance of 400 meters. In less than a minute or two, the Japanese army would be in front of them, so he waved his hand and shouted.
"fire!"
"fire!"
"Fire!" Accompanied by the roar, a dozen combat defense cannons that had been waiting for a long time suddenly stopped. Then a dozen combat defense cannons on the other side also stopped. More than twenty 37mm shells were woven into a web of death.
How could the iron sheet of the Type 94 tank withstand such tearing? The shells penetrated all the way into the tank and exploded. A thick black smoke instantly shot out from all the gaps in the tank. The Japanese soldiers inside the tank could no longer
Unable to move.
Shigeru Fujita couldn't believe it when he saw that just in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of his tanks were emitting black smoke. This was also thanks to the fact that his tanks were constantly moving and making it difficult to aim. Otherwise, who knows how many more there would be.
Destroyed.
Before Shigeru Fujita's brain could turn around, countless machine guns and rifles rang out. The Japanese infantry accompanying the chariots were immediately beaten to the ground by a big hand. In just one salvo, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were killed.
Huangquan.
"Impossible, impossible, how could the Eighth Route Army have combat artillery? There are so many!!" Shigeru Fujita shook his head in disbelief.
But reality once again taught Shigeru Fujita to trust his eyes. Another round of shelling followed, and seven or eight more tanks stopped moving. The weapons of the Type 94 tanks were just machine guns, and they did not fight back at all when faced with combat anti-aircraft guns.
The Type 89 tank kept firing back with its 57-gun, but whenever a Type 89 tank stopped to fight back, it would often become the target of several anti-tank guns and be shot at.
"Baga... retreat! retreat!" Fujita Shigeru saw that less than half of his tank troops had been wiped out. He still dared to fight, so he quickly shouted to retreat. At this time, the Japanese aircraft that found something wrong below quickly rushed
Rush down and prepare to bombard the war defense artillery that keeps firing.
"Hit!" The commander of the surrounding air defense positions waved a red flag, and twenty anti-aircraft guns and sixty anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire at the same time. The Japanese airmen only felt their eyes dazzled when they saw nearly a hundred fire whips waving in the sky, and
It collided with them quickly, and the Japanese airmen were extremely resentful that they had trusted too much. If they had attacked before the Army's Red Deer attack, the situation of the battle might have been rewritten.
"Boooooo~~Boom!" The Japanese plane, which desperately dropped bombs indiscriminately, spun and hit the ground. Seeing that the aviation soldiers were also defeated, Shigeru Fujita scratched his face and couldn't believe what he saw.
"Pig attack! Use pig attack tactics! Do you bring special ammunition? Shoot them all, shoot them all!! We are the Imperial Japanese Army, there is no way we can lose to the Chinese!!" Fujita Shigeru jumped out of the tank and found a horse
The horseman shouted while waving his katana.
The Japanese soldiers did not feel that they had failed. After hearing the order, they immediately rushed to the Eighth Route Army position according to the officer's command, shouting the slogan "Long Live the Emperor".
Yan Hongyan couldn't help but feel a little pity for the Japanese troops. They didn't know how many resources Mr. Peng had deployed to deal with them. After dealing with them, the aircraft's anti-aircraft machine gun turned around and fired at the Japanese troops down the slope.
The Japanese troops waved one after another, and the Japanese machine guns, infantry cannons and other weapons kept fighting back. Seeing the infantry as shields, the Japanese tanks felt relieved and began to charge again.
The Eighth Route Army's machine gun bullets kept knocking the charging Japanese troops to the ground, and the recoilless rifle's grenades hit the crowd and the machine gun from time to time. The combat anti-aircraft gun fired like crazy, intercepting the Japanese tank more than a thousand meters away.
.The Japanese troops were gradually forced into a mass by Yan Hongyan's machine guns and artillery.
"Mr. Peng of Power Generation, please request firepower to cover area 7. Area 9 will be covered in fifteen minutes." Yan Hongyan looked at the already crowded Japanese troops in front of him and said.
On a hilltop about 6 kilometers away from the Yifeng South position, eighteen strange cars were placed on the ground. In front of these cars were thick tubes one after another. In the tube was a thick cannonball-like thing. More than 30
Year-old Teng Yifeng held a telescope and saw a red pennant rising on a distant hilltop. A man stood on a high platform and waved the red flag constantly, saying, "Everyone, pay attention, target, area 7, rocket launchers are ready."
...emission!!"
Eighteen 107 rocket launchers let out a piercing roar together, and a total of 216 rockets shot into the sky with flaming tails. Teng Yifeng shouted without waiting for the results of the battle, "Pack up the rocket launchers immediately and move immediately!"
This is stipulated in the requirements for the use of rocket launchers. Every time a salvo is fired, the rocket launcher must be moved immediately to avoid retaliation from the enemy's air force or artillery.
Densely packed rockets quickly crossed the mountains and villages and came to the front of the Yifeng South position. Shigeru Fujita's eyes widened, watching countless bright lights flying from the sky, and quickly shouted, "Be careful, it's a shelling!!"
He was half right, and the rockets fiercely rushed into the Japanese formation. The warhead of the 107 rocket weighed 8 kilograms and had a killing radius of 12.5 meters, which is the size of half a basketball court. The shock wave and high-explosive bomb of the 107
The steel balls in it easily tore through the armor of the Type 94 tank. The entire Japanese formation turned into a sea of fire, with broken limbs and pieces of meat flying into the sky. Some tanks even flew away after being blown up.
High, countless Japanese troops were reduced to ashes in the flames and explosions. The horses of the cavalry regiment were frightened and ran away quickly, unable to hold back. Rockets kept falling, making Shigeru Fujita feel like he was
In hell, he closed his eyes and counted the bullet points, but found that he could not count them at all. Fortunately, he was not affected by the bombing.
But such bombardment had completely made him lose his will to fight. He trembled and said, "Hurry... retreat quickly!! This is a trap. There are hundreds of heavy artillery here! Retreat quickly!"
"Tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tock, tick-tock." The charge horn sounded as if it was chasing the soul. The confident Eighth Route Army, which was hit by its own artillery, rushed out of the position like a tiger descending from the mountain, like a water dragon.
Thousands of cavalry also rushed out from the distant woods, bringing up smoke and dust all over the sky. Twenty or thirty assault vehicles, escorted by a group of cavalry, rushed towards the Japanese army. The machine guns and recoilless cannons on the assault vehicles fired rapidly.
Wherever the troops swept through, the Japanese troops all fell to the ground. However, facing hundreds of heavy artillery, the Japanese troops had lost the courage to continue fighting. As professional soldiers, they all understood how terrifying this combat power was. All they saw was that the Japanese troops were automatically
They were divided into two teams. Those who were close to the Eighth Route Army stood up quickly, suppressed their fear, and fought with the Eighth Route Army with their guns tremblingly. Those who were far away quickly quickened their pace, trying to escape from this Shura field.
