Chapter 003 Reinforcements
A series of tremendous explosions sounded
This back and forth
Watching their collective charge, Chu Yunfei always felt that something was lacking... a sense of momentum
The command post has been destroyed
Before he could react, his subordinate, Major Itian, rushed over and said urgently: "Report, Lieutenant Colonel, our rear has encountered a surprise attack from the Jin-Sui Army, and Lieutenant Colonel Sato requests tactical guidance for our unit"
With these bombardments, those devils had no energy to pay attention to Li Yunlong or the new regiment
Colonel Sakata, the commander of the regiment, has died
This thought merely flashed through his mind, and he suppressed this curiosity.
A督战队 of company size stands behind the first battalion, holding their guns at the ready
A battalion consists of nearly two thousand troops, and with this exertion
It is ! ''
The Nagatani Brigade and the Kimura Brigade are busy repelling the attack of the 358th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Company, leaving them with no energy to support the artillery squadron
The 358th Regiment's First Battalion charged into the artillery battalion's position, regardless of whether the enemy was dead or not; as long as the body was intact, they would stab it with a bayonet.
Boom boom
In a fit of rage and humiliation, Qian Beijun no longer wished to leave any survivors
Bang! Bang! Bang...
The artillerymen, suppressing their grief, stuffed the grenades into the shells
There can be so many shells
Li Yunlong certainly knows that someone is attacking the devils
The messenger has gone to convey the orders
Surround 358 and devour them one by one
Continuously being struck and overturned by shells, the enemy troops on the position also faced misfortune.
Even the ground soil was lifted up to more than ten meters high
Even more terrifying is that as the artillery fire spreads backward, the enemy's frontline positions and central forces are severed, making it impossible to form layered and segmented positions. They can only engage in individual combat
Li Yunlong was anxious and restless, just as he was about to organize a death squad
Thinking of some unpleasant memories
The breakout of the new regiment has been obstructed
It is unclear whether it was the allure of the bounty or the intimidation of the督战队 that prevented the soldiers of the first battalion from collapsing in the face of the Japanese army's obstruction, as they engaged in fierce combat with the enemy.
Anyone who dares to retreat will be shot immediately
The new regiment was able to break through smoothly only after they eliminated the Sakata command post. It is said that they were facing a brigade, but in reality, they were merely confronting the obstruction of a battalion
However, at this moment, the Communist forces were making a full-scale breakout, so how could our own troops abandon the Communist forces and go to support the artillery battalion
It would suffice to deploy just one or two battalions to intercept them
The commander of the New First Regiment, Li Yunlong, led the regiment in a breakout, only to encounter the interception of 2 heavy machine guns from Ando's brigade head-on
However, the Japanese army has a strict hierarchy, which has its advantages but also its disadvantages
The constructed trenches and tunnels all face the Cangyun Ridge
The 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment has already launched an attack.
Those even stranger shells actually landed on the enemy's positions
Major Nagatani did not lie
This amounts to nearly 120 rounds of 75mm mountain artillery shells and 480 rounds of 82mm mortar shells
I am responsible for the direct interception of the Communist forces' breakout, while Nagatani and Kimura are merely tasked with encircling the Communist forces to prevent their escape
The headquarters of the 358th Regiment has formulated a detailed plan for this operation
The artillery battalion directly under the Sakata Brigade has encountered misfortune
The group leader will undoubtedly be pleased and will commend themselves
Lieutenant Colonel Ando's idea is quite good
The 358th Regiment's First Battalion advanced, facing an artillery battalion protected by only a single reinforced Japanese squad, which was no match for them
Major Ando shouted, "Contact the Hase unit and the Kimura unit, and have them send troops to support the artillery squad!"
He was astonished to find out which unit was attacking the enemy and coming to his aid
Pierce the enemy with a refreshing chill
However, this time Chu Yunfei has invested heavily. He fired all the shells in the regiment at once
The excavated soil is all piled up on the side of the breast wall facing the Cangyun Ridge
Currently, the other two battalions of the Sakata Combined Unit are not willing to listen to orders from above, nor do they have any obligation to comply with the commands of Colonel Ando, who is of the same rank.
The correspondent should promptly contact the Nagatani team and the Kimura team
Should we continue to break through, or should we counterattack
The Type 92 infantry gun is a good piece of equipment; if we could capture a few and send them up to the regiment commander
A massive wave of air carrying sand struck the face of Company Commander Qian Bojun, causing him excruciating pain
Moreover, the narrow tunnels prevent the enemy from lying down to shoot
The main force of the 1st Battalion coordinated with the artillery battalion to attack the Ando Detachment
Captain Daisuke Ando, the commander of the Ando Unit, is currently leading his soldiers to intercept the breakout of the New 1st Regiment
Once the Eighth Route Army in front of us is eliminated, it will not be too late to turn around and deal with the Jin-Sui Army as well
At this moment, Colonel Sato just remembered that Colonel Sakata was already dead
Moreover, and most importantly, they can do without such extravagance
Nonsense
The Jin-Sui Army is merely a group of cowardly and timid individuals
He angrily wanted to command his subordinates to turn and attack the Jin-Sui army
The 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment are both positioned in the rear, making it impossible for them to advance from the front.
The charging enemy soldiers quickly retreated to their own positions to prepare for the battle against the 358th Regiment
"Baka!"
At this moment, all he could hope for was that Captain Ando's squad would arrive quickly to protect his artillery battalion
The 2nd Battalion and the 3rd Battalion are responsible for restraining the Nagatani Detachment and the Kimura Detachment
The Japanese soldiers can shoot while standing. Piled sandbags can reduce the probability of being hit by bullets
The artillery battalion is unable to relocate at all. Colonel Sato, upon hearing that Colonel Ando has not sent any troops for support, shouted angrily: "Defend the position, quickly contact the brigade commander and request urgent tactical guidance from the brigade commander!"
The enemy's artillery position was originally located in the rear, but at this moment, it has become the front line of the battlefield
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Major Sato saw the enemy charging towards him, and in a panic, he shouted, "Quick! Call Colonel Sakata... No! Call Major Ando for urgent tactical guidance! Hurry!"
The enemy's machine guns hardly fired a few shots before being subjected to the relentless shelling of the 358th Regiment
Hearing that the Jin-Sui Army, which had always been fearful of battle, dared to suddenly attack the Imperial Japanese Army, Colonel Ando was furious
Suddenly, a series of cannon sounds erupted
It is precisely the lack of a momentum as overwhelming as a rainbow and as fierce as a tiger
It was confirmed that all the enemies had been eliminated, and the first battalion regrouped, charging towards Ando's squad.
The 358th Regiment can become the main force of the Jin-Sui Army, which is naturally closely related to its rigorous daily training.
Haven't you seen that some of the enemy soldiers have been killed by artillery shells
The enemy machine gunner quickly shouldered the machine gun, intending to change targets
The chief of staff has also died
The Type 92 heavy machine gun is stationed at the mountain pass, commanding a superior position and taking advantage of the terrain.
Even when shooting while kneeling, the area above the chest is still exposed
The deployment of Ando's squad at the pass immediately silenced the 2 machine guns!
While making every effort to block the breakout of the Communist forces, suddenly the sound of cannon fire was heard, but Colonel Ando did not see any shells landing on the positions of the Communist forces
It is ! ''
The enemy's position is under bombardment, making it impossible to establish an effective fire line to obstruct the assault of the 358th Regiment
My eyes are not blind
Now there is nothing left
It feels as though they are charging forward, yet at any moment, if something seems amiss, they may retreat.
Seeing the artillery being blown up by the enemy themselves, he shouted angrily: "These sons of bitches. They won't even give me the satisfaction of dying! Charge, I don't want any prisoners, wipe them all out!"
The most precious opportunity has already been wasted
Just ... ...
Major Sato saw that the enemy had advanced to within 20 meters of the front line, and he sorrowfully shouted: "Destroy the artillery, we cannot allow them to fall into the hands of the enemy"
Chu Yunfei put down the telescope and shouted: "Deploy the supervision team, and anyone who dares to retreat will be dealt with on the spot!"
The battalion commander Zhang Dapiao, who was at the forefront, hurried to the side of the regiment commander. "Commander! Someone is attacking the enemy!"
The 358th Regiment's Fourth Battalion serves as a reserve force, remaining in the rear.
Major Nagatani, upon hearing Major Ando's request, angrily shouted: "Baka! What right does that bastard Ando have to command me! Tell them that our troops are currently under attack from the Jin-Sui army. We cannot spare any forces for tactical guidance. Let Ando pull his own troops to support the artillery battalion!"
At this time, the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment posed no threat, and the artillery fire became even more rampant
The only question before him now is one.
However, on the other side, the back wall is not even waist-high.
Even now, we are under attack by the enemy
The previous mission of the Sakata Brigade was to encircle Cangyun Ridge, trapping the Eighth Route Army at Cangyun Ridge
4 seconds later
Yes
The most unfortunate was the machine gun company assigned to the Ando Brigade, which was the primary target of the artillery fire from the 358th Regiment.
The charging posture of the soldiers of the 358th Regiment is considered standard
This is the first time he has witnessed the 358th regiment in battle
What they can do is to defend their position and then escalate the situation to contact the brigade commander, seeking urgent tactical guidance
Since the beginning of the shelling, Chu Yunfei has been stationed at the rear, observing the battlefield with a telescope
The last 2 infantry guns were also destroyed by the enemy themselves
At this time, the trenches and tunnels not only fail to provide sufficient cover for the enemy, but rather become a burden, making it easier for them to be exposed to the gunfire of the 358th team
Groups of enemies were blown away by artillery shells, their bodies shattered, and limbs and flesh scattered across the mountainside, creating an even more terrifying and nauseating scene
