Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 211 Fighting at Xie Jiaqiao!
The Special Service Battalion of the 48th Army of the Xiejiaqiao Defense Army is worthy of being an iron army and a well-trained force.

After they entered Xiejiaqiao, they arranged a large number of fortifications.

Along the east side of Xiejia Bridge, there are civil fortifications.And open up the private houses in Xiejiaqiao to form a crossfire point.

Although the Japanese artillery fire destroyed some fortifications.However, the Japanese army wanted to razed the entire Xiejiaqiao to the ground with the help of artillery fire, and it was absolutely impossible without a few tons of shells.

Yamada Kaiji ordered the troops to venture into Xiejiaqiao. As a result, they encountered stubborn resistance from the defenders on the outskirts of the position they thought had been destroyed.

The devil officer who was ordered was also a stunned young man, perhaps he also thought that the enemy had been almost wiped out by the imperial shells.So when encountering obstruction, he even ordered all the devils to charge.

All kinds of light and heavy machine guns of the defenders fired at the same time, and dozens of devils, like fools, saw their Amaterasu.

The Japanese commander reacted and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat, and dozens of people died as a result.

Yamada Yuji directly cut off the commander of the vanguard, and then ordered the first brigade and the second brigade to outflank the left and right sides and encircle Xiejiaqiao.

Yamada Kaiji has absolute confidence in this battle, whether it is intelligence from aerial reconnaissance or what he saw with his own eyes.There are not many Chinese defenders in Xiejiaqiao.

He attacked Xiejiaqiao from three directions with three brigades, and before noon, he could raze Xiejiaqiao to the ground.

It's just that when the old devil was complacent, he didn't expect Duan Wu to bring someone over.

Zhou Dabang and Sun Shiyu quietly touched all the devil's outer guard posts.

The Dragon Boat Festival quietly advanced the troops to a position two kilometers away from the Japanese artillery positions.

At a distance of 500 meters to 800 meters from the enemy artillery position, two devil squadrons are building fortifications.

So from this point of view, the little devil is indeed well-trained.In the absence of enemy attacks, and under the circumstances of attacking Xiejiaqiao with an absolute advantage, they were still very cautious in digging trenches and building fortifications.

Duan Wu called Sun Shiyu over and ordered: "Old Sun, you bring me four mortars to the south slope and start shelling the devils defending the artillery position. The harder the attack, the better."

Sun Shiyu said with a silly smile: "Tuan Zuo, you might as well let me take care of the little devil's artillery position directly."

"Fart, you old boy is going to break a cannon for me, and I will use you as a cannon. Remember, the cannon on the top of the mountain belongs to me."

Duan Wu started scolding directly, and whoever dared to move his cannon at this time, Duan Wu would fight with his life.

But at this time, Sun Shiyu looked at the defensive position on the mountainside outside the forest, but shook his head and said: "Tuan Zuo, the terrain is very unfavorable to us, you see the whole mountain is bare, there is no shelter at all, how can we rush up?
Why did the little devil dare to build the artillery position on the top of the mountain?It's not because this is the only commanding height nearby.And easy to defend but difficult to attack? "

"You don't need to worry about this. You just need to drag the devils on the south side to Lao Tzu."

Speaking of this, Duan Wu said to Xie Jinyuan again: "Old Xie, take it for me."

At this time, Duan Wu wanted to talk about the independent camp.But think about it, there are not many people left in the independent battalion now.

Immediately, Duan Wu looked at Fang Shuping who escaped with the independent group.

The overall strength of Fang Shuping's first reserve battalion is not bad, but there are not many people left.There were three companies in total, and now there are not even two platoons.

Duan Wu thought for a while and said: "The 40st Battalion of the 88th Division is temporarily organized into the [-]st Battalion of the Independent Regiment of the [-]th Division. The [-]st Battalion is reorganized from the Independent Battalion of the former Independent Regiment. The battalion commander is Sun Shiyu. Lao Xie, you can command temporarily, remember to be Feint. I don't want to see casualties.

You can use the shells as you like, and hit the bullets as you like.But there is only one thing, our people are all treasures, don't kill them all, these people are the seeds of our independent group. "

"Don't worry, the group."

Xie Jinyuan took the order and left with a battalion with Sun Shiyu.

At this time, the Dragon Boat Festival ordered Zhu Shengzhong to say: "Zhu Shengzhong was appointed as the battalion commander of the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment. All the original recruit battalions were incorporated into the Second Battalion, including the original Second Battalion of the 40th Division Reserve, and they were merged into the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment. Zhu Shengzhong unified command."

(The original battalion commander of the 40nd Battalion Reserve of the [-]th Division has died, so no one has any objection to the order of the Dragon Boat Festival.)
"Tuan Zuo, I, Tuan Zuo,."

At this moment, Zhou Dabang pointed at himself.It means that he also wants to be an official.

Duan Wu took a look at the brothers from the original Second Battalion.Many of these people are fellow villagers who came out with the Dragon Boat Festival.

There were more than 80 of them at the time.But now including Zhou Dabang, there are not even eight people.The rest are the deserters who entered the Sixing Warehouse for the Dragon Boat Festival and those who he rescued before entering the Sixing Warehouse.

These people add up to less than 30 people.

The Dragon Boat Festival ordered: "Appoint Zhou Dabang as the company commander of the spy company directly under the regiment. The rest of the staff will be incorporated into the spy company."

"Thank you group seat, thank you group seat."

Zhou Dabang nodded and bowed tightly, his veteran nature was undoubtedly exposed.

But the spy battalion seems to be full of veterans.Congratulations on the surface, but there seems to be only one meaning behind the smiles: You are the company commander now, you must be at the forefront of the war, right?
"··················"

Zhou Dabang was speechless, thinking: "Tuan Zuo, can you get me some recruits quickly? Or I can't stand it anymore."

Duan Wu secretly laughed at Zhou Dabang, who reaped the consequences.And the wartime tension melted away.

But at this time, Duan Wu could not relax.What he needs is a mighty division, an army capable of winning battles.

He stood up and shouted angrily: "Brothers, in today's battle, we will become famous. The enemy's 103rd Brigade is a unit that has just returned from a defeat. He is the meat delivered to our mouths.

Get to the top of the hill, take the Imp's artillery positions, and we'll wipe out entire enemy brigades.

This is a feat, this is an unprecedented victory! .”

"Good! Good!"

At this time, whether it was the soldiers of the Independent Regiment or the 40th Division, they all roared.

Although their voices were not loud, they were as powerful as a rainbow.

"Third brother, can you just give the order? None of the brothers in the 79th Brigade is a coward."

Sun Bo'an patted his chest and promised.And the other officers also echoed: "Third brother, just give the order! Brothers will never embarrass you!"

A group of people were arguing.

But Duan Wu believed them to be a big-headed ghost.These people are imposing now, but once they encounter the enemy's tenacious resistance, they will inevitably retreat.

And as soon as they retreated, the entire battle situation quickly took a turn for the worse.

Because the devil's artillery positions are the commanding heights.If they can't rush up, they are living targets for the devils.

The Devils have four 150mm howitzers, eight 100mm cannons, twelve 75mm mountain guns, and at least twenty mortars.Once the artillery position of the little devil cannot be taken down, the independent regiment under the Dragon Boat Festival, the 79th brigade will have no suspense, and they will all die in Xiejiaqiao! .
