Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 384 The Jiangyin Defense Battle Begins!
Hand-to-hand combat has almost been eliminated in the middle and late stages of World War II, and only on the Chinese battlefield, this kind of fierce battle with cold weapons continues to be staged.

The reason is that China's weapons are not as good as the Japanese army. If the Chinese army has a submachine gun, I am afraid there is no need to start a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army.

On the battlefield of World War II, the Japanese had to fight hand-to-hand with the Chinese.

Of course, it's not that the Japanese are brave and fearless, but that the Japanese have absolute confidence in their stabbing skills.

Back then, the three old Red Army might not be able to beat a Japanese devil.So it can be seen how powerful the Japanese's stabbing skills were at that time.

Fortunately, the Dragon Boat Festival used absolute force to crush the opponent, and the three battalions could not beat [-] Japanese soldiers.

Of course, the first brigade of the 116th Wing of the Japanese Army did not have only more than 1000 people at the beginning, but more than [-] people.

At least half of the first brigade was killed after the ambush, and nearly half of the survivors were destroyed by the sneak attack of the second and third battalions of the 671 regiment. , there are still more than three hundred people.

The three battalions of the 671st regiment attacked the devils from three directions, but it would take at least half an hour to completely win.

But at the same time, the reinforcements of the 116th Regiment of the Japanese Army arrived, and they were rushing to the top of the mountain along the predetermined route.And especially the explosion that happened just now made the devil even more anxious.

The captain of the regiment, Xiao Nanchuan, personally led the second battalion to climb up to the position of the 671st regiment on the mountain out of breath, but at this moment, Master Huo led the 667th regiment, the two battalions of the 668th regiment, plus the division officer platoon, the guard company A grenade fell down, and the devils of the 116th regiment were stunned at that time.

The devil always thought that his people were fighting fiercely with the Northeast Army, and that the one near the edge of the position should be his own.

But they never expected that what was waiting for them turned out to be enemy grenades.

The huge explosion not only killed the devil's vanguard, but also caused great chaos to the devil's vanguard.

In the first squadron of the second brigade of little devils, at least two squadrons of devils were killed in the explosion.Two other infantry squadrons of the [-]st Squadron were affected.After the explosion, some of them were shocked and their minds went blank, while others lay on the ground with their heads in their arms.

The leader of the devil squadron shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, prepare to fight."

But at this time, before the devil could react, all kinds of weapons on the battlefield rang out.

At this time, the bullets were like migratory locusts, piercing through the billowing smoke and whizzing past under the slightly whitened sky.

The little devil can hardly see anything in the smoke and dust.Because the sky is only slightly pale at this time, and with the smoke and dust, it would be strange for them to be able to see it.

So the devil's vanguard didn't even see his enemy, they were pierced by bullets one after another, and rolled down from the position like dumplings.

Seeing this, Xiao Nanchuan, the captain of the regiment, ordered the second squadron of the second brigade to build a temporary defensive position.And ordered the artillery to fire at the position of the Jiangyin Fortress.

Although he heard the devil's roar from the top of the mountain, what long live the Great Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor and so on.

So Xiao Nanchuan didn't have to think about it, he couldn't save the imperial army on the top of the mountain.

So he ordered the artillery to fire immediately and carpet-bomb the enemy positions on the top of the mountain, even if they killed their own people, they would not hesitate.

But at this moment, the Chinese large-caliber artillery at the Eshan Fort had already locked on the Japanese artillery position.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the old snorer had led people to investigate.Moreover, there was an informant from Liu's big head, so Duan Wu already knew the exact location of the artillery position of the 116th Regiment.

The devil's artillery position is behind a forest.Most of the guns used are 70 mm caliber mountain guns.

The elevation angle of this kind of mountain cannon is very high, suitable for hiding behind the woods for sneak attack.

It's just that the little devil doesn't know that there are four domestically produced 250mm Krupp howitzers on the fort of Eshan.This gun has a maximum range of up to four kilometers, and its ballistic trajectory is also arc-shaped.

Four 250mm large-caliber howitzers were already ready to go, and under the order of the artillery company commander, they opened fire on the Japanese artillery positions with all their strength.

The artillerymen of the Japanese army had just received the order to fire, and all the artillerymen were ready, and all that was left was to push the shells into the mountain cannons.

But I don't want to be at this moment, a huge whistling sound followed, and the canopy of the forest rustled.

The Devil Artillery's eyes widened for some reason, and at this moment, a huge flame suddenly ignited on a tree trunk, and the terrifying sound of the explosion pierced the ear drums of each Devil Artillery.

Only then did they know what was going on, the enemy launched an artillery attack.

The Japanese artillery captain shouted loudly: "Quickly reload, reload."

But at this moment, after the explosion, a thick tree was blown off in the middle, and the tree crown and broken branches were shot at the devil's artillery like sharp arrows.

The speed was too fast, before the devil could dodge, the sharp branch had pierced into the devil's body.

The huge canopy came across the sky, smashing the devil's two mountain cannons and five devils under the tree.

The scene was in a mess, and the Devil Artillery appeared very flustered.

Boom!

Another huge explosion followed, this time a 250mm shell successfully passed through the canopy and landed on the Devil's artillery position.

The huge explosion directly flew the two devils' mountain cannons and seven devils.

The devil screamed and flew until twelve or thirteen meters before falling from the air.

When the rest of the devils saw this scene, they could only hate their parents for losing two legs and not running fast enough.

Backfired at this point, because obviously their artillery positions were exposed.And the caliber of the opponent's artillery is simply incredible.They feel that this is at least a howitzer with a caliber of 200 mm or more.

The artillery captain gave the order to retreat, and the first one ran away.The rest of the devil artillery fled in embarrassment.

At the same time, artillery shells fell one after another, and all 24 mountain cannons of various types in the Japanese artillery positions were destroyed.

And thanks to the devil's artillery running fast, otherwise, more than 300 people in their artillery brigade would have died here.

"Go and tell the captain that we have been fooled. The enemy has already prepared. Baga, is the 53rd regiment trying to kill us?"

The captain of the Japanese artillery battalion was about to cry, because what about the surprise attack?How did it become an enemy surprise attack on them?This is obviously a trap, right?

Of course, they were frustrated everywhere, how could Xiao Nanchuan's captain not know that they had been fooled.He yelled at Kitano 36 Lang as a stupid pig, stealing chickens won't make a fortune, and it's fine if he dies stupid, and he will be buried with him in the 116th regiment.

If he had attacked according to the original plan, his 116th unit wouldn't have suffered such a big loss, would it?
A brigade of imperial troops went up, but the sound became smaller and smaller.He felt that it was conceivable how desperate his first brigade would be.

The more Xiao Nanchuan thought about it, the more angry he was planning to change his tactics. Under the cover of artillery, he divided his troops into two groups to conduct a detour to the 671 regiment's position, but he didn't want to be at this moment. The artillery positions exploded and caught fire one after another.

At this time, thinking about it with his butt, he also knew that his artillery position might have been discovered by the enemy long ago.

"Baga, Lu, Kitano 36, I'm going to kill you, Baga!"

Xiao Nanchuan was going to hate him crazy, because all the plans were set by Kitano 36ro before the attack, but in the end the 116th regiment suffered such huge casualties.Even his artillery battalion suffered heavy losses.

"Go and inform the third battalion to detour from the west side of the 671st Regiment. The 671st Regiment only has three battalions of troops. I don't believe that they will have so many people blocking our Great Japanese Imperial Army.

In addition, I ordered the supply brigade and the wing command department to come up to me. If we can't take the position of the 671st regiment today, then the first brigade will be sacrificed in vain, do you understand? "

"Hi!"

Let's not mention Xiao Nanchuan's messengers going down to deliver orders.However, in the defense zone of the 672 regiment, a positional offensive and defensive battle also kicked off.

在116联队与671团交火后，北野36郎便命令日军第53联队，对672团阵地发起了猛烈的进攻。

The enemy attacked the 672 regiment in three directions: east, southeast, and northeast.The head of the regiment, Wan Yi, originally planned to use only one battalion to stop the Japanese army in accordance with the order of the Dragon Boat Festival.But unexpectedly, the Japanese army was desperate this time, and at least 500 people were divided into three positions to attack.

Wan Yi urgently transferred the second battalion, supported by the third battalion, to stabilize the battle situation.

But I didn't want Kitano 36 Lang to be very cunning. After calling out all the officers and soldiers of the 672 regiment, he used the advantage of artillery fire to violently bombard the 672 regiment's position.

The 672 regiment suffered again, and the casualties were very heavy. If it were not for the Dongshan Fort to suppress the Japanese army with firepower, the 672 regiment's position would be destroyed in less than half an hour!
