Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 187 The counterattack starts from the 40th division!
Two days later, on November 11, the Japanese army launched an attack on the Kunming branch line from the north and the south.

Attacking in the south was a brigade of the 6th Wing, the forward of the 13th Division, which arrived at the front line of Qingyang Port at night.The 88th Division of the Chinese Army had already entered the bunker. The Japanese army tried to cross the river, but was hit by a fierce counterattack from the 88th Division, and was pinned on the opposite bank and unable to advance.

Seeing the stalemate in the battle, the head of the 6th Division, Hisao Tani, ordered the main force of the 23rd Regiment and a part of the 45th Regiment to attack from the left flank, trying to defeat the defenders from the left side, but the tax police were defending in this direction. In the headquarters, the Japanese army was still unable to advance, and the fierce battle continued until early in the morning, but they were still unable to make a breakthrough.

In the north, the Japanese army first invested in the Yongjin Detachment with the 11nd Infantry Regiment of the 22th Division as the main body, and Liu Peixu's 40th Division was defending here.

At 3:30 in the morning, a firefight began in Xuliujing, west of Baimaokou.This is an area along the river, and there are many bunkers and firepower points on the defense line. The Japanese warships could have provided artillery support, but they had to give up because it was still dark.

After the Japanese army landed, since the landing point was more than 150 meters away from the river bank, there was no shelter on the bare river bank. The Japanese infantry could only fill the distance with their lives. Kato and No. 10 Squadron leader Toshiyuki Uda were killed on the shore, and No. 12 Battalion leader Kurimoto was also seriously injured.Almost all of the first batch of more than 3 people who landed were killed in battle.Logging had to be temporarily halted.

It was not until the sky was getting brighter that the Japanese warships fired and suppressed the firepower of the bunker. The Shigeto Detachment sent the 2nd Battalion for reinforcements, and there was a fierce exchange of fire with the 40nd Battalion of the 2th Division on the river embankment.

At this time, Jiang'an's frontal defenders were already preparing to retreat due to threats from their sides.But I don't want to be at this moment, a troop wearing the uniform of the Northeast Army suddenly came to the position.

"Who are you? The Northeast Army? Isn't the Northeast Army at the Huangshan Fort?"

Battalion Commander Fang Book Review, questioning the visitor.

The visitor smiled slightly: "According to the order of the chairman, the independent regiment of the 88th Division came to the 40th Division to supervise the battle. I ordered all the soldiers of the 40th Division to prepare for the Second Battalion to return to their respective posts immediately and regain their positions. There must be no mistakes. "

"The 88th Division Independent Regiment? I've never heard of it. The little devil's naval guns are too fierce, and our division seat has allowed us to retreat. And it's not just us, the entire 40th Division has to retreat."

Fang Shuping didn't pay any attention to it at all, and wanted to leave with his people.

But at this time, Duan Wu directly put the gun on Fang Shuping's head and said, "If you stick to your position and stop the Japanese army for six hours, I will give you another chance."

Fang Shuping frowned, thought for a while and said: "Even if I don't leave, the other troops will still withdraw. Because this is the order of the division commander."

"Your teacher is Liu Peixu, right? Call him."

Duan Wu signaled to Fang Shuping, Fang Shuping was held by Duan Wu's gun, so he could only call Liu Peixu.

At this time, Liu Peixu was ready to withdraw.

This Liu Peixu was greedy for life and afraid of death. He just found out that the devil had landed and his flank was threatened, so he was ready to flee.

And when he fled, the left wing of the entire Wu Fu line was opened a big hole, forcing all the troops to retreat across the board.It was also unable to gain a firm foothold on the Xicheng line, and finally had to retreat to Nanjing, fighting a battle to defend Nanjing that was destined to lose.

Therefore, Duan Wu led the people directly to the second reserve battalion defense area that was the first to retreat.As long as the position is regained here, the 40th Division will not retreat.

"Old Xie, you take them to take back the position. No matter how high the price is, this position cannot be lost. Those who disobey orders will be executed on the spot."

Duanwu directly ordered, Xie Jinyuan responded, took out his gun and said: "The second battalion of the preparation listens to my order and takes back the position for me. Those who disobey orders and those who run away will be executed on the spot!"

The soldiers of the Second Battalion all looked at Fang Shuping.Fang Book Review was also very helpless.Because his life is also in the other party's hands!
He could only say: "Obey the order. Wait for the news from the teacher seat."

The soldiers of the Second Battalion had no choice but to return to the battlefield to fight the devils.

The Independent Regiment has six grenades, 40 rounds of shells, and more than [-] Type [-] hand grenades for the little devils.In an instant, they all blasted up.

Ono Squadron, Takahashi Squadron, of the 2nd Brigade of the Judo Detachment, is celebrating its victory.But I didn't want to hit them with a bombardment, and they were caught off guard.

Squadron leader Ono was killed, Squadron leader Takahashi was seriously injured, and more than [-] Japanese soldiers were killed.

When the remaining 200 devils were about to shoot, the soldiers of the Second Reserve Battalion and the Independent Regiment had rushed back under the leadership of Xie Jinyuan.

But when faced with an enemy nearly twice as large as theirs, the little devils showed no fear, and even carried forward their bushido spirit, rushing forward to fight the independent regiment and prepare the second battalion for a bayonet fight.

These little devils, in the roar of the seriously injured Gaoqiao devil, are like beasts.

They jumped out of the life-saving trenches and charged desperately.

It's just that they don't know that waiting for them will be more than 60 MP28 submachine guns and more than 40 shell guns.And more than 30 various machine guns.

From the very beginning, Xie Jinyuan didn't think about bayoneting the little devil.

Duan Wu told him that the little devil is indeed good at fighting with bayonets. When our side cannot fight the devils in close combat with a large proportion, or when the devils have not retreated on a large scale, try to avoid fighting with the devils.

Because, it's not worth the candle.One battle wiped out all the people, and the next battle, what will we use to deal with it.

And the Dragon Boat Festival also mentioned the MP28 submachine gun and the correct usage of the shell gun.

Submachine guns are not good at long-distance shooting, these guns can be used for assault.But the most important thing is that he can prevent the devils from fighting with us.

If the devils are eager to fight with us, this is the best time to eliminate the devils.Let the devil within 100 meters, how many devils come, how many devils to kill him.

chug!chug chug! ...

More than 100 automatic weapons and semi-automatic weapons fired almost simultaneously when the devils charged.

The devil who rushed to the front was beaten into a sieve in the blink of an eye.

The little devil noticed something was wrong, the opponent's firepower was too fierce, and he couldn't charge up at all.

They turned around and wanted to escape, but it was already too late.

More than 100 automatic weapons slammed at the devils, even if the devils were made of iron, they couldn't withstand such a strafing.

More than 150 devils were beaten to death in front of the formation, while the Independent Regiment and the Second Reserve Battalion only paid the price of a dozen people.

The soldiers preparing for the second battalion were all dumbfounded.What the hell, they fought for six hours and only killed more than 200 devils.But the independent regiment, with more than 150 devils, was wiped out in a few minutes.Just like a harvester on the battlefield.

One of the company commanders praised: "The elite is the elite, and even the guns they use are different from ours. No wonder they have such confidence!"
