Chapter 374 Chariot Squadron!

Time seemed to stand still, and the ears of all the soldiers on the artillery position were buzzing. Only then did they realize that they had encountered a sneak attack and quickly fell down.

"Sing!" There was another hiss of artillery shells in the sky, and the Japanese Type [-] infantry gun fired shells at the maximum combat speed, pouring ammunition towards the artillery battalion of the division, not seeking accuracy, only seeking speed of fire.

"Rescue the wounded immediately, and all companies immediately move to the reserve position on the reverse slope!" Zhao Zhangcheng gritted his teeth, not having time to feel sorry for the two mortars and soldiers, and quickly issued various orders according to the current situation.

Because he was not sure whether the Japanese army had other artillery threats besides this Type [-] infantry artillery, Zhao Zhangcheng had to suppress the anger in his heart, and gave up the current mountain ridge position with the best firing angle and line of sight, and let the whole battalion Retreat to the reserve position on the reverse slope.

As a typical arm with high attack and low defense, artillery is very vulnerable to counter-artillery attacks. Although the Japanese army only has one [-]-type infantry artillery, there is a huge gap between the [-] mortars of the divisional mortar battalion. , the threat of just one cannon is very huge.

The reason is simple. There is a considerable amount of ammunition stored on the artillery positions. When encountering shelling, it is very likely that the ammunition will explode.

This is not alarmist talk, but a real threat.

In the event of a martyrdom explosion, the mortar battalion of the division will bear huge irreparable losses.

As an individual, Zhao Zhangcheng wished he could kill this Type [-] infantry artillery immediately and confront it.

Without artillery suppression, the Japanese troops on the highway would quickly break through the ambush area of ​​the 686 regiment and move closer to Laoyemiao Highland.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The chief of staff nodded, turned around and left immediately, and communicated combat orders to the various troops to make adjustments.

With the order to break out, a Japanese soldier charged forward as if desperate, and the Japanese grenadier team frantically fired smoke bombs towards the forward position of the 686 regiment, doing everything they could to obstruct the opponent's shooting vision and cover the main force of the brigade to break through.

"Good guy, it feels like you have poked a hornet's nest. Even the chariot troops have been sent out. Seishiro Itagaki is really in a hurry." After listening to the content of the message, the chief of staff frowned, and his face immediately became serious: "Laiyuan is going to the Japanese army. With Yang Wu's independent regiment blocking, it can delay for more than four hours, but there is no one blocking in the direction of Hunyuan, and the time left for us is only five hours, we must fight quickly, this battle cannot be delayed."

The only way to survive is to rush out of the ambush area.

As the captain, Cangshan Yuanye is undoubtedly qualified.

A [-]-type infantry artillery can't delay for long, and the enemy's artillery will soon be able to rebuild its position. The third brigade must seize this precious opportunity to jump out of the ambush area.

As for why the artillery positions are set up so close, the reason is very simple. The maximum firing range of the 60-year 1.5mm mortar is only [-] kilometers.

"The Jinsui army has already been urged by power generation. The original combat troops did not answer. The Mengxuan Ji Brigade at the Pingxing Pass position said that they had not received the combat order from Shangfeng and refused to attack." The chief of staff of the 115th division headquarters had a grim face. , with a hint of anger in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said: "Cooperate and cooperate, no cooperation, no cooperation, decisive battle, decisive battle, decisive but not fighting, these Jinsui troops really grew up on dry food."

The 115 Japanese troops are not a joke. With the current combat effectiveness of the [-]th Division, they can only achieve encirclement and severe damage, but cannot achieve complete annihilation.

"Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, the time has come to break through, and advance to the high ground ahead! Your Majesty, long live!" As the entire division's mortar battalion lost its voice for a while, the nightmarish firepower on the battlefield disappeared, and the captain Cangshan Yuanye stood up, drew out his standard command knife and yelled at the surrounding troops.

Out of the ambush zone?
As the heads of the entire division, the two looked at each other, and instead of being angry and blaming the 686th regiment for this situation, they were a little happy.

The chief of staff nodded: "I agree."

The chief of staff sighed: "But without friendly forces, our combat goal of annihilating [-] Japanese troops cannot be achieved."

The 686th regiment tried its best to block the attack, but with the strong cooperation between the various units and arms of the Japanese Third Battalion, the main force of the brigade still successfully broke through, rushed out of the ambush area, and advanced towards Laoyemiao Heights.

"On board! Long live the Great Japanese Empire!" In an instant, the Japanese soldiers belonging to the No. [-] Squadron and the No. [-] Squadron stood up brazenly, with red eyes roaring fervently and determinedly, not caring at all that they were exposed to the crossfire of light and heavy machine guns Underneath, Fearless and Fearless charged towards the Laoye Temple Heights in front of him.

Although the 687 regiment was equipped with a large number of medium-sized rifles and [-]-style mortars, the Japanese army's supply team did not lack heavy firepower at all. There were a large number of light and heavy machine guns and infantry artillery, and the ammunition was extremely substantial.

"Old man, just remember, I made the following deployment adjustments: the 686th regiment dispatched a battalion force to bite the tail of the Japanese army and drove them towards Laoye Temple. The division's mortar battalion and the main force of the 686th regiment moved towards Caijiayu. The regiments flanked the Japanese army's supply units in front and behind, killing and injuring the enemy's vital forces as much as possible."

It has been nearly an hour since the start of this ambush. In his opinion, the most stressful part of the entire ambush is the 687th Regiment. Japanese army.

"It is reported that about 600 people from the Japanese army in Qiaogou rushed out of the ambush area of ​​the 686th regiment and advanced towards the Laoye Temple highland, intending to occupy the commanding heights. The mortar battalion of the division was attacked by Japanese artillery and lost 2 mortars. Reverse slope position." At this time, another correspondent hurriedly entered the division headquarters, came to the side of the two, spoke quickly, and reported the situation.

"Give it a try, try your best." The middle-aged man sighed.

In the battle order of the Japanese army, the tank squadron usually only has a small number of Class A divisions, which is a serious ace force, and the fifth division is a part of the tank squadron.

With a gentle temper, he can't help but want to scold his mother now.

You know, the battle plan for ambushing Japanese reinforcements this time was initiated by the Jinsui Army.

The middle-aged man finally felt relieved after hearing the words, picked up the binoculars and came to the observation port of the headquarters, looking at Guangou, where the 685 regiment and the Kurokawa brigade were fighting fiercely, a soldier in a gray uniform who was attacking came into view. Some fell on the charging road, some rushed to the road and blew grenades, and died together with the Japanese army.

The middle-aged man looked expressionless, fell into silence, and looked at the map without saying a word: "How is the Caijiayu fight?"

At this moment, the communications staff received an urgent telegram from the headquarters, quickly recorded the translation, picked up the telegram and went to the observation port: "Report, urgent telegram from the headquarters."

After the initial confusion of the Japanese army's heavy troops who were ambushed, they immediately stabilized their formation. The two sides were evenly matched, and the fight was inextricable.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, and a temporary plan was formed in his mind: "The 685th regiment stopped attacking and turned to defense on the spot, with the pursuit of killing Japanese troops as the first goal, that's all."

What these allies did was disgusting.

However, as the supreme commander of the mortar battalion directly under the 115th Division, he must be responsible for more than 400 soldiers and 22 mortars in the whole battalion.

"It's a bit tight at the moment. The Japanese army's supply team attacked very violently. The 687th regiment suffered a lot of casualties. Many soldiers are not familiar with the Japanese army's combat methods. They used the previous method of attacking the Central Army and suffered a lot." The chief of staff immediately said: "But , the position is still firmly in our hands.”

Don't strike, no matter how urged, still don't strike.

For the convoy, apart from the lack of people, there is no shortage of everything.

As for how to deal with the more than [-] Japanese soldiers who went to Laoye Temple Heights, he did not ask.

"Even if the friendly forces don't come, we can still win this battle." The middle-aged man said suddenly.

"If you don't stop, you will be subject to chaos. Since it is no longer possible to completely annihilate the Japanese reinforcements, then change your thinking and focus on destroying the Japanese army's vital forces. It is only one person who can kill one more little devil." The middle-aged man pondered thoughtfully. For a moment, make a decision.

The soldiers of the whole battalion didn't waste time, and they were quick in their hands and feet. Many soldiers took up the hot mortars and ran away, heading straight to the reverse slope to prepare for the transfer.

fast!
Action must be fast!

"The headquarters instructed that a regiment of the Japanese army and 500 puppet troops will arrive from the direction of Laiyuan. They are expected to arrive in 4 hours. There is an infantry regiment and a cavalry regiment from the direction of Hunyuan. They are expected to arrive in 5 hours. Yu County Deploy the tank squadron belonging to the Fifth Division in the direction, and it is expected to arrive in 8 hours." The communication staff read out the top-secret message content: "If it is true that it is impossible to wipe out the reinforcements of the Japanese army, you must not force it, and you must ensure your own strength. Impossible."

Stay here, only waiting to die.

"Read." The middle-aged man said.

because……

There is a trap.

A trap set early and waiting for the prey to come.

"It's dawn, and the Japanese planes are coming." The middle-aged man stared at the rising sun in the distance, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and said slowly.
