Two hundred and fifty-six chapters candle dragon - the fourth stage (four)
At this time, another communications soldier ran in and handed Tada Jun a telegram. Tada Jun couldn't help but said in surprise, "They are counterattacking? The Eighth Route Army of Xiaoyi Fenyang generation is counterattacking, and the Shanxi New Army and the 129th Division are also attacking. They
Do you want us to swallow them all?"
Yoshimoto Sadai immediately said, "This is a south attack and a north defense. They knew we were going to break out from the north, so they deliberately attacked from the south."
Tada Shun slapped the table and cursed, "Trap, this is completely a trap, damn, there must be a traitor among us!"
Takeda Takeda secretly smiled in his heart and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, now is not the time to talk about traitors. We must make arrangements immediately. Now that the enemy has jumped out, I feel that it is safer."
Yoshimoto Teiichi also agreed and said, "Takeda-kun is right. I think it is still the original plan, but with a change, we will put two regiments in the east, west and south, and all other troops will be concentrated in the north to create a passage! And we
Most of the aviation force has been wiped out. We must do a good job in air defense, generate electricity and let General Terauchi send troops to assist us. He will not sit back and watch our three divisions be defeated, and he cannot bear this responsibility. In addition, from Hebei and
Suiyuan, Chahar and other places sent troops into Shanxi to change our overall strategic situation."
Tada Shun nodded and said, "Okay, I'm here to imitate the power. Now is not the time to save face. Protecting the warriors of our three divisions is more important than anything else."
——Beiping
"How did this battle happen? Is this Shun Tada an idiot? Who sent him to Shanxi in the first place?" Terauchi Juichi was almost so angry when he saw the battle report. There were three divisions, and 70% of them were in North China.
The plane was actually hit like this.
"Your Excellency, Commander, now is not the time to pursue the case. We must immediately send troops to rescue the Third Army. Otherwise, none of us will be able to bear the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor." A staff officer lowered his head and said.
Terauchi Shouichi walked around in annoyance and said, "Of course I know, but to assemble the troops that can rescue the Third Army, at least two divisions are needed. We are still full of guerrillas in North China. Looking at the situation in Shanxi, one or two
In the past, there would not be any major changes in a regiment, which required at least one division or more. Our troops were too scattered. It would take at least a week to gather the troops. According to the telegram, when we entered Shanxi
Several roads have been captured by the Eighth Route Army. I'm afraid it will take more than two weeks to break into Shanxi. I hope Tada Jun can hold on. Damn Tada Jun, these levels have been defeated for a week. Could it be that he has failed every time?
Did you notice something was wrong?"
A staff officer whispered, "When he reported it, didn't you also say that it was probably a guerrilla attack?"
"Um?"
"This subordinate is talking nonsense." When the staff officer saw Shouichi Terauchi looking over, he quickly slapped his mouth with a few loud mouths.
Terauchi Juichi snorted, and then said, "Order all the aviation forces to gather in Baoding. Tada Shun said that there is a Soviet air force coming out. This is very possible. A large number of Soviet air forces appeared over there with Chiang Kai-shek, Baga!! These bastards
, sooner or later we must teach them a lesson!”
Touichi Terauchi initially gathered his troops to rescue Tada Shun, but the distant water could not save the nearby fire. At this time, a major counterattack was taking place in Xiaoyi City.
It was a regiment of the 20th Division that was fighting with the Eighth Route Army in Xiaoyi City. Due to their accurate marksmanship and flexible grenade launchers, the Japanese army's defensive capabilities were stronger than their offensive capabilities. The Japanese army was dominated by local troops and garrison regiments.
The Eighth Route Army's attack was very difficult, and it could only rely on repeated artillery bombardment to capture the Japanese position.
The only good thing was that the artillery of the Japanese army became extremely insufficient because it had to support four battlefields. The only support for these Japanese troops was mortars and infantry artillery. All mountain artillery was transferred to the north to open the exit.
On the side of the Eighth Route Army is the full firepower of the Eighth Route Army Artillery Corps. Twelve 122 howitzers and eighteen 107 rocket launchers are divided into two teams to support the two battlefields of Xiaoyi and Fenyang respectively. Any stronghold held by the Japanese army will be mercilessly attacked.
Destroyed by heavy artillery.
The Eighth Route Army, which had been suppressed and beaten for more than half a month, now vented all its grievances on the Japanese troops who were defending half of the city. The fighting was extremely fierce.
"Battal Commander, the regiment headquarters ordered us to capture Dongguan within an hour. In ten minutes there will be a round of artillery bombardment to support us. Let us take the opportunity to capture Dongguan! If we can't defeat it again, we will let you be the squad leader.
"The communications soldier said, wiping his sweat.
Li Fuze is a native of Shandong and a graduate of Daxia University in Shanghai. As a rare intellectual, he has been trained intensively since he joined the army. At this time, he was already a battalion commander with three to four hundred soldiers under his command.
Li Fuze wiped his sweat and looked at the Dongguan in front of him. After repeated sawing, the Dongguan was already dilapidated. The Japanese army relied on this dilapidated Dongguan, using machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars to repel his attack three times.
attack.
Li Fuze nodded and said, "Call the first company commander. Damn it, the regiment commander has already called for artillery support. If we can't fight back, we will really be laughed at by those old Red Army soldiers."
A thin man ran in and said, "Report, First Company Commander Qian Dafu has arrived."
Li Fuze said, "The regiment leader has called for artillery support. Once the artillery is covered, you can immediately lead people to rush forward. Don't be afraid of sacrifice. Forget it, I will lead the team. I don't believe it if the machine guns of the second and third companies are gathered together."
Can't make a single hole."
Qian Dafu quickly said, "Batalion Commander, just don't go. I'll just go. Can't you still trust me?"
Li Fuze glared and cursed, "We've been beaten down three times. If we can't be beaten this time, I, the battalion commander, will be removed from my position as squad leader, and I will make you the deputy squad leader!" After that, he took it from the side.
He inserted a bayonet into his 38 rifle, put on his helmet and walked out. I remember Qian Dafu quickly followed.
Hundreds of soldiers were hiding in the temporary fortifications, looking coldly at Dongguan three or four meters away. Li Fuze looked at his pocket watch nervously. He suddenly put the pocket watch into his arms and said, "The time is up."
Sure enough, within ten seconds, the soldiers saw hundreds of shells with flaming tails hitting Dongguan. The violent explosions and shock waves made people feel that Dongguan would be blown to pieces.
Li Fuze stood up and shouted, "It's just one round of artillery fire. Don't wait, everyone, follow me and charge! Kill all the little Japanese!! Revenge for the villagers!"
Seeing Li Fuze rushing out, other soldiers quickly followed. The shock wave of the explosion made the soldiers unable to open their eyes. By the time the explosion disappeared, the soldiers were no more than a hundred meters away from Dongguan.
The Japanese soldier who had not yet been killed shook his head and shook off the stones and dust from his body. Just as he raised his head to see the situation, he kicked him aside with a big foot. Li Fuze stabbed the Japanese soldier in the chest with his bayonet and stepped on him.
, the bayonet was twisted and pulled out, and a fountain of blood burst out.
"Kill!" The soldiers rushed forward in a swarm and started fighting hand-to-hand with the remaining Japanese troops. The red pill flag that had only flown in Dongguan Pass for two days was replaced by the blue sky and white sun flag.
The line between Wenshui and Pingyao is a plain, and it is also one of the main agricultural production areas in Shanxi. The heavy snow that fell two days ago has not yet melted, and the fields and roads are still bright white. Lin Sanhu rode his horse to a hillside and held a telescope.
I started to look out. Explosions and gunshots could be heard from time to time in the distance. It was the 115th Division fighting against the Japanese 108th Division.
The two troops spread out on this plain. On the one hand, they vowed to open the exit and break through the encirclement. On the other hand, they gritted their teeth and attacked, determined to eliminate this force within the specified time. Lin Sanhu once again used his artillery supremacy principle and picked out two
The regiment attacked with arrows, and other troops defended all heavy artillery to support the attacking troops. Except for the 107 rocket launcher that was not used to deal with Japanese mountain artillery, other weapons had already participated in the battle.
"Report, our independent regiment has broken through the first line of defense of the Japanese army and is in pursuit." The signal soldier stood up and said.
Lin Sanhu nodded and said, "Order the follow-up troops to move forward and not to be surrounded by the Japanese left and right wings. The artillery extends to both sides. The independent regiment pursues for 500 meters and then retreats to consolidate the position it just occupied. The follow-up troops will take over the attack."
After saying that, Lin Sanhu took out two soybeans from his pocket, put them in his mouth, chewed them, got back on his horse and said, "Let's go to the front. It's really hard to see clearly from here."
On the plain, the Japanese army continued to charge towards the position of the 115th Division. The machine gun tubes were red and the Japanese army did not stop for a moment. Artillery fire continued to explode on the positions of the two armies. Lin Sanhu looked at it and shook his head and asked, "The Japanese army."
Hasn’t the mountain cannon fired yet?”
The staff officer next to him shook his head and said, "Not yet, they seem to be waiting for something."
Lin Sanhu smiled contemptuously and said, "What else could it be? They just want us to fire first. Without air superiority, they are afraid of being bombed. Well, give him a chance and order our field artillery to fire, and wait for the Japanese army to fire."
After that, the rocket launcher unit immediately counterattacked.
"Report, Mr. Zhu called and sent the First Bomber Group to assist our army. They will arrive on the battlefield in fifteen minutes." A communications soldier said with a smile.
"Okay, order the artillery to fire in five minutes! Contact the Air Force and destroy the Japanese artillery completely!" Lin Sanhu said with a smile.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The field artillery team of the 115th Division began to fire at the Japanese offensive position. The 115th Division did not have many field artillery, but only seven or eight, all of which were captured.
The commander of the 108th Division, Shimomoto Xiongmi, looked at the few artillery pieces and immediately said, "Order the artillery to counterattack. The first artillery team moves, and the second artillery team continues to hide. The Chinese are very cunning, don't be fooled by them."
Lin Sanhu watched his artillery position being attacked with a smile. Only three or four minutes later, he saw a rocket flying into the sky. The 107 rocket once again played an important role.
Shimomoto Xiongmi watched in surprise as his artillery was blown to pieces by an extremely dense bombardment. The barrel and wheels of the mountain cannon were blown into the sky. A field artillery brigade was wiped out in this way.
"Counterattack! Counterattack! The other field artillery counterattack immediately!!" Shimomoto Xiongmi shouted anxiously. He couldn't believe how many cannons it took to produce such a bombardment. Eighty? Or a hundred?
"Airplane, our plane!!" Under the shout of the communications soldier next to him, Lin Sanhu saw more than ten aircraft flying over the battlefield. This was the IL-2M aircraft. This aircraft was equipped with two 23mm cannons.
As well as two machine guns, it is also equipped with 8 rounds of 82mm rockets.
"Baga, shoot, shoot, shoot down the Chinese planes!!" Xia Yuan Xiong Milai only felt his mouth taste bitter. When will the Japanese Imperial Army also use pitiful machine guns to shoot down planes? Looking at a group of
The Japanese soldiers in the team raised their 38 rifles and fired volleys at the planes in the sky. Shimomoto Xiongmi just wanted to bury his head in the soil. It was so embarrassing.
A soldier of the Japanese army held a crooked handle, and another soldier fired a gun at the Il-2M in the sky. However, he saw the plane turning deftly in a circle and fired an 82 rocket at the machine gun team.
The rockets hit a place about ten meters away from the machine gun team, but the shrapnel from the explosion still killed the Japanese soldiers. More fighter planes dropped bombs on the rows of soldiers firing volleys, and they were shocked to see the Japanese soldiers being tortured by the planes.
******, Lin Sanhu immediately ordered the troops to attack again. With the support of artillery fire and aircraft, the Japanese army was once again pushed back 500 meters. Looking at the cheering Eighth Route Army and the waving blue sky and white sun flag, Yuan Xiong
Mi suddenly felt helpless.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there is a breakthrough in the direction of Dujiazhuang, and we have captured the forward position there." A communications soldier said with his face flushed with excitement.
Xia Yuan Xiong Mi clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, order to continue the attack. I will hold back the main force of the 115th Division here and prevent them from supporting Dujiazhuang."
three days later
——Luliang Mountain Headquarters
Jiang Cheng looked at the sudden appearance of a snowflake on the radar and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, it's almost time to arrive."
When Boss Zhu learned that another batch of planes were flying to Shanxi, he touched his chin and said, "This should be the last Japanese fighter plane that can be deployed in North China. He ordered our planes to dispatch and ordered all units to step up the attack. It seems that Juichi Terauchi is going to
Take action."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "We have bombed the Japanese army quite badly in the past three days. It is said that the Japanese army has almost no mountain artillery now. We have blown them all up."
Zuo Quan said, "However, the Japanese army's attack was also very resolute. Although it suffered heavy losses, it continued to break through from the middle of the 115th Division and the 120th Division. Lin Sanhu and He Long both attacked the southern front troops while retreating, gradually
It formed a U-shape with the Japanese army. The Japanese army has captured Dujiazhuang, and only Xiaquzhen is left behind. If this continues, in about three days, the Japanese army will successfully break through."
Mr. Zhu shook his head and said, "In three days, it will be very difficult to completely defeat these Japs. I ordered the 115th Division and the 120th Division to persist and wait for the successful penetration of the southern line." After speaking, Mr. Zhu looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Little
Jiang, are the troops ready?"
Jiang Cheng pointed at the map and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, they are all here. It took me a lot of effort to transport these things here."
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "That's almost it. Order them to dispatch. This is our last trump card. With our bombers, we will also try the blitzkrieg you mentioned!"
