"Brothers, the command has been sent to us. It's our turn. The brothers outside have been fighting for more than ten days. We have been waiting here for ten days just for this moment. I won't say much else, devil.
The two artillery units are right in front of us. Kill them and we will go home." The leader, who had no military rank and a messy face, and only two big eyes and bright eyes, a soldier who should be about thirty years old, stood in front of everyone.
Roared lowly.
No one spoke, all the soldiers looked at their commander in silence and gave their answers with determination on their faces.
They were the two companies that Liu Lang sent out before the arrival of the Eighth Division. All auxiliary arms were left behind, and they were all infantrymen responsible for combat. They totaled 300 people. The highest commander was the former Seventh Division.
Cheng Yuanshan, the company commander, is in charge.
Although Liu Lang had determined the approximate location where the Japanese artillery troops would be stationed based on the terrain, how to hide 300 fully armed soldiers under the Japanese invaders' noses was a huge problem.
If you want to play a sneak attack, the battlefield situation is ever-changing and the opportunity is fleeting. If the distance is too far, it is meaningless. By the time you get there, thousands of Japanese troops are already in place, so what a waste of a sneak attack!
It has to be said that heaven favored the Chinese people in this battle with the Eighth Division. In the nearby mountains, local hunters actually found an extremely well-hidden cave for Liu Lang. The entrance of the cave could only pass a person and a horse.
But there is a cave inside. Not to mention hiding 300 people, it is more than enough to hide a thousand people.
If Liu Lang had enough troops to hide a regiment among them, he would be able to smash the Japanese headquarters to pieces, not to mention sneak attack on two Japanese artillery units. But that can only be thought of. Even if the sneak attack is successful, how many
Even if the Japanese army wakes up and surrounds them, the surprise attack troops will definitely be doomed.
Liu Lang could only put at most 300 men in this position, and Liu Lang endured it for several days. Even though the Japanese artillery was extremely arrogant and almost razed all the hilltop positions to the ground, he did not use this extraordinary force. That was because Liu Lang knew that
The Japanese soldiers who had been fooled once were definitely like frightened hedgehogs, keeping their thorns out and waiting to prick someone!
Therefore, Liu Lang would rather suffer huge casualties under artillery fire than use this extraordinary force. He has been waiting, waiting for the Japanese to make mistakes, and waiting for the final decisive battle.
Now, the time has finally come. It's finally time for this amazing force to be deployed.
Cheng Yuanshan also came from the 19th Route Army and was an infantry platoon leader. Among the nine new company commanders of the two infantry battalions of the Independent Regiment, he neither had the wisdom to move forward nor the ruthlessness of Liu Dazhu. He just looked at ordinary people.
An ordinary but steady company commander.
No matter from which aspect, he should be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the nine infantry company commanders. But Liu Lang chose him to be the temporary commander of this surprise force, which surprised Chi Dakui, Yu Xiancheng and Cheng Yuanshan himself.
But the facts prove that Cheng Yuanshan, an "old" lieutenant who never went to a military academy and spent ten years stepping up from a soldier to a second lieutenant platoon leader and even served as the infantry company commander of an independent regiment, won this battle with surprise and "bravery".
In the battle he won with "ruthlessness", one of the brightest battles in his life broke out.
Originally, according to the original plan, the two companies would attack the two artillery units of the Japanese army separately. However, because the cannons needed space, the Lushun Heavy Artillery Battalion and the 8th Artillery Regiment were not far apart. They had been riding in the dark for several days.
Cheng Yuanshan, who had secretly observed the Japanese positions for the first time, made an immediate decision, joined forces, and first killed the 8th Artillery Regiment with thirty-two mountain guns, and then went to clean up the heavy artillery brigade.
Even if the heavy artillery brigade is closer to their position.
But this order cannot be wrong. The shooting distance of the mountain cannon is enough to wipe out the 300 people who attacked the heavy artillery brigade. But the heavy artillery that can throw the shells twenty miles away can only stare blankly when facing the enemy within two miles.
.
Under the orders of Giichi Nishi, the two infantry squadrons on the front line of the Japanese army began to move towards the position of the artillery unit ten miles away. At the same time, in the sagebrush 500 meters away from the Japanese position, three hundred independent regiments were quietly lurking.
Soldier. These two infantry squadrons were added by Matsuda Kunizo on his own initiative. I don’t know if he wanted to preserve his strength or because he felt it was unsafe not to send an additional infantry squadron. Anyway, he didn’t report it to Nishi Giichi at all.
He sent his two infantry squadrons back to the heavy artillery brigade.
The authority of Lieutenant General Nishi Yiyi has obviously been severely weakened in this battle at Luo Wenyu Pass.
The warning posts and patrol posts sent by the Japanese army two kilometers away have been killed by the special operations team led by Ling Hong. Taking advantage of the crazy pursuit of the Japanese army, the two special operations brigade commanders Ling Hong and Xiao Fenghua escaped.
The captains each led a duo and sneaked back to the battlefield.
Not only is the most dangerous place the safest, but only the two of them know Liu Lang's plan, and they must come back.
The sentries of the Fengtian Independent Brigade of the puppet army, who were no longer taken seriously by Xi Yiyi, said that they were scumbags in front of the special forces of the independent regiment.
Before the Japanese army discovered that the sentry was missing, the three hundred officers and soldiers of the independent regiment quickly approached the Japanese artillery position 500 meters away. Such a close distance was enough to launch an infantry assault!
The only infantry squadron responsible for providing protection to the Eighth Artillery Regiment has received a military order from the division commander to be more vigilant. In fact, Nishi Yiichi did not need to remind him that after seeing the Kongming Lantern rising in the distance, he temporarily replaced the Eighth Artillery Regiment.
Lieutenant Colonel Naoun Komura, who held the position of commander of the regiment, asked the infantry squadron to enter the position with his hair standing on end.
The Japanese invaders, from top to bottom, had been beaten into terror by Liu Lang. Even the Kongming lanterns used by the residents of the Republic in later generations to pray for blessings became their nightmare.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
First there was a "bang" sound from the Type 60 mortar, but there was no explosion, but a flare, which illuminated the Japanese infantry defense position into a snow-white color, corresponding to which was the pale face of the Japanese army.
The Chinese are here again.
Moreover, there seemed to be quite a lot of people there.
They didn't have much time to think about it.
"Dong...dong..." The dull sound made by the independent regiment was extremely frightening.
The two 20mm Sulotong machine guns were not used in the Luo Wenyu offensive and defensive battle. They were brought here by Cheng Yuanshan. With six MG42 machine guns providing crazy strafing cover, the two Sulotong machine guns unleashed their unbridled firepower.
What is the concept of being hit by a 20mm machine gun bullet that is thicker than a human thumb? It is normal for a machine gun bullet carrying huge kinetic energy to cut a person in two. This is what the Japanese army later called Xiaodouding 2
A ton-heavy ultra-light tank can be blasted to pieces as long as it is not faced with slightly thicker armor on the front.
The Japanese position clearly visible under the flares became a battlefield where the two machine guns of the Independent Regiment were wreaking havoc. All creatures that dared to stay on the surface of the position were shot into pieces.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun that had just spoken had not fired a few bullets when it was hit by a 20mm bullet from the Sulotong machine gun that arrived after hearing the news, causing it to be shattered and fractured.
After just one encounter, the Japanese troops were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
It was over. Naoyun Komura, who was hiding in a bunker 700 meters away, turned pale. The Chinese firepower was really too powerful, far exceeding the imperial army.
Although he has thirty-two cannons under his command, at a distance of several hundred meters, the thirty-two cannons are not even as effective as thirty-two rifles.
To make matters worse, within five minutes of the battle, Captain Ishida of the infantry squadron was hit by a cold gun from an unknown source. He was shot in the head and died on the spot. This made it easy for Naoyun Komura to compete with the one at noon.
linked to the attacks.
The head of the captain, like a flower, appeared in Komura Naoyun's mind, which made him shudder.
This is a conspiracy, starting at noon. Komura Naoyun's brain is particularly good at life and death, and he can rival his division commander.
Lieutenant Colonel Naoyun Komura, who figured out the Chinese conspiracy, quickly made an extremely firm and "smart" decision.
