Bright Sword: Hosting the independent regiment, all become special forces

Chapter 286 Guangling's confession is broken, and the devil surrenders.

With the first gunshot,
The Eighth Route Army launched a full-scale attack, not only on the Zhengtai Line, but Zhang Wei's troops also launched a full-scale attack on the two counties.

The garrison chief of Guangling County, Mi Chuanzhongzuo frowned and looked at the Eighth Route Army troops that were gathering in the distance.

"It seems that they are really preparing to attack the county seat. Order the troops and prepare for battle!"

"Sir, in the past few days, the troops have been harassed and besieged by the Eighth Route Army troops. I'm worried, we."

Xiaomi Chuanzhongzuo smiled slightly, his smile was quite sunny, and he said confidently: "Our outer defensive position has two lines of defense, and the first line of defense has three bunkers, which are specially reinforced and have strong firepower."

"There are two bunkers on the second line of defense, and there are gun towers! Judging from the situation, the Eighth Route Army is currently very short of heavy weapons to attack fortified positions. In my opinion, we will definitely be able to hold on."

"As long as we can cause heavy casualties to the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely give up their attack!"

Xiaomi Chuan Zhongzuo frowned and looked at the major next to him: "You go to the second line of defense to organize the defense. I can rest assured only if you are here!"

"Hayi! Your Excellency, Zhong Zuo, it is my honor to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

The major was full of fanaticism, and Xiao Chuanzhong looked very uncomfortable, because personally, he still cherished his life very much.

The first company commander, Wang Decai, stood in front of the soldiers and made the final mobilization before the battle. He waved his hand and emphasized.

"Comrades, we don't have a lot of artillery support this time, so we must be cautious when attacking!"

The soldiers under him laughed:
"Understood, Battalion Commander! As soon as the shelling is heard, let's start attacking!"

"You bastards, you must pay attention! Be careful, don't rush forward, the devil's defensive position has already been established, it is not so easy to fight!"

"Understood, Battalion Commander, let's attack!"

The artillery regiment didn't have much ammunition. After two rounds of shelling, the charge horn sounded.

The soldiers used the cover of smoke to deceive some ammunition from the Japanese army, and then launched an attack again.

With the help of the cover of the bunker and the Japanese army's shooting, with the help of grenades and light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese army was suppressed by fire.

within the headquarters.

Looking at the soldiers of the special regiment who were attacking, Long Wenwen praised with admiration:
"That's great, this three-three infantry fighter is indeed more skilled in using it!"

Wang Huaibao smiled, but didn't answer. After all, he was just promoted to the main battalion commander not long ago.

Outer positions, the Japanese resistance is very fierce.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

"Quick, set up the light machine gun here!"

"Fight back! Fight back!"

Due to the lack of preparations for artillery fire, the advance speed of the soldiers was extremely slow, and they even fought for more than an hour before advancing more than 300 meters.

The resistance of the Japanese army did not lose their fighting spirit because of the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army.

This is not a field charge, this is a serious battle. Without the support of heavy weapons, a brainless charge will only become a target for devils.

The special column now not only does not have such a force, but it will not do such a stupid thing.

Although the attack was frustrated and the progress was slow, the number of casualties was indeed small. Only less than 30 people were killed or injured after fighting all morning, but the results were quite satisfactory.

There were only about forty casualties on the devil's side, and the wounded had already been transported back to the county town.

Two of the outer defensive positions of the Japanese army were pulled out, and a bunker was blown up. The Japanese army had already begun to retreat to the second-line defensive positions.

There is only one simple gun tower in the second-line defensive position, and there are only three trenches left.

Long Wenwen sat in the headquarters and frowned:

"I didn't expect this group of devils' will to resist. They still want to counterattack now? Order the mortar troops to blow me up!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, Xiaomi Chuanzhongzuo, who was standing on the second floor of a private house in the city and observing the battle in the distance, nodded with satisfaction: "The defensive position is still very stable, but I don't understand it. In this case, shouldn't it be Concentrate superior forces and attack in one direction?"

"Your Majesty, the combat methods of the soldiers in the special column are somewhat different from those of other troops. Although they may not have many troops, they are still very capable in combat, so there is no distinction between them."

"It's a joke, what kind of war is there if there is no distinction between primary and secondary! Hmph! If that's the case, let's help them!"

"Order the grenadier troops and mortar troops to shell the attacking Eighth Route Army!"

"Hay!"

The signal soldier quickly went to inform the regiment-level mortar company.

As for the remaining half of the artillery regiment, it is not yet time for them to continue firing.

"Boom! Rumble!"

The light mortar units had been deployed a long time ago, the first round of shelling failed, and the second support shelling started immediately.

"Quick! Hide in the bomb hole!"

"Romper pants! Romper pants! Enemy shelling!"

"No, there seems to be something wrong with these devils! Could it be that they all entered the air-raid shelter?"

Xiaomi Chuan put down the binoculars helplessly: "This group of Eight Routes has plenty of ammunition, and even a lot of heavy weapons. Our grenade launchers and mortars seem to be of little use!"

"Your Excellency, Zhong Zuo, as long as they attack, we will definitely cause a lot of damage, so please rest assured that we will be able to hold on until the arrival of support."

On the other side, the headquarters of the 41st Division.

The reinforcements they were expecting did not actually go out, and they did not even assemble.

Yuejiang Youzhen sat on the bench, frowning, and the combat staff below said nothing.

Apparently there was some disagreement on whether to support these two counties.

"General, if we don't send troops to support them, they will never be able to hold on. I am willing to bring an infantry brigade to support Guangling County!"

Yue Jiangyouzhen did not speak, and then another staff officer retorted: "We are already shrinking our troops and deploying defenses in the Datong area. We only need to hold on for half a month. The troops in the Shanxi area are fully prepared for combat, and we can fight against the attack. The Eighth Route Army launched a siege and wiped them out in one fell swoop!"

"Can it be wiped out in one fell swoop, don't you know in your heart? General, Guangling County must not be lost, otherwise, we really have no place for a strategic buffer here!"

At this moment, a ghost walked in quickly: "Report! According to the report from the North China Front Army Command, the Zhengtai Railway was attacked violently by the Eighth Route Army, causing heavy casualties."

"General Neji Gangmura ordered us not to attack at will, pay attention to stick to it, and try to avoid fighting."

Yuejiang Youzhen sighed helplessly: "There is no need to discuss, gather troops as soon as possible, make supplies along the way, and must defend Datong and the surrounding areas!"

"Hay! General!"

On the side of the North China Front Army Command, Okamura Ningji even felt that the strength of the four divisions was still a little unsafe, and he planned to continue to transfer back the eleventh divisions that had been repaired from the Northeast Army.

But how could such a request be approved by the commander of the Kwantung Army? The last time the troops were transferred across regions was also the idea of ​​the above. In this way, the [-]th Division suffered heavy losses, and half of them were directly defeated.

Now they would rather face the Soviets than enter the northwestern Shanxi region to fight.

Having said that, the battlefield outside Guangling County.

Long Wenwen carefully observed with doubts:

"It's strange. Could it be that the soldiers of the Special First Regiment don't know how to cooperate with infantry and artillery? Why are they firing so slowly? What are you looking at when firing artillery? Why don't you charge!"

Wang Huaibao stood aside and explained:

"Regimental Commander, it may be that the troops are used to the artillery attacking after destroying the enemy's position. They have fought like this before, but this time without the help of the artillery, it feels a little uncomfortable."

"Having said that, I am still very satisfied with the quality of the soldiers of the special regiment. It only took less than half a day to pull out the stronghold, but we seem to be a bit unable to withstand this ammunition-consuming style of play! "

The devils reacted quickly and were obviously prepared for the Eighth Route Army's attack.

At this time, the Japanese army hid in the anti-battery holes, except for sporadic observation posts, no one showed up at all.

The soldiers attacked again. Although the Japanese army was shelled, it did not cause many casualties.

The resistance of the devils was still very fierce. Although the distance between the second-line position and the first-line position was only more than 300 meters, this 300 meters seemed to be a natural moat, and it was difficult for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to cross.

Long Wenwen shook his head immediately, and judged: "We can't continue fighting like this. After the special column went to the southeast of Shanxi, the devil's fortifications must have been fully prepared. We lack the firepower to attack the fortifications. If we continue to fight like this, it will be nothing but a waste." ammunition."

Wang Huaibao frowned, but didn't think of a way:

"Then what should we do? The commander's order is to try our best to take down the two counties! And you know the temperament of the commander. He would rather not be defeated than pay unnecessary casualties, not to mention that every soldier is The baby bump in his mouth."

Long Wenwen thought about it, and then said:

"It is necessary to cooperate with infantry and artillery to launch an attack before the shelling is over. Otherwise, we will not have much time to continue with the current offensive posture."

Wang Huaibao scratched his head: "We have fought before, but in the past there were always cases where soldiers were accidentally injured by shelling. Later, when life became richer, we have never fought in such a coordinated way since then."

"Generally, the attack is carried out after the firepower is covered!"

"Then why are you still here? Go! Look at me!"

"Yes!"

After listening to the salute, Wang Huaibao turned around and ran to the forward position. As a battalion commander, he would personally lead the attack.

Although the offensive strategy was temporarily changed, from the initial artillery bombardment to the crazy fire cover of light and heavy machine guns.

Bullets and barrels seemed to be free of money, and they frantically suppressed local firepower points. There was even a strange phenomenon in which three light machine guns suppressed one light machine gun of the Japanese army.

The entire second-line defensive position of the Japanese army could not be exposed in an instant.

The devils in Guangling City only have light support firepower such as grenadiers and mortars, which can actually be considered good.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Huaibao rushed forward with a few soldiers, and under the cover of artillery fire, blasted open the gate of Guangling County.

Light and heavy machine guns in the distance, accurate shooters at medium distances, and mortar cover from time to time made it completely impossible for the Japanese devils to organize and fight back effectively.

The large army was advancing steadily. The demolitionists, carrying explosives, rushed towards the temporary debris blocking the city gate. There were sandbags, plaster, and even a lot of furniture, all of which were violently It shattered into pieces amidst the explosion.

After clearing the way for the troops to advance, the soldiers did not rush forward in a swarm. For such a breakthrough, the Japanese army only needed three heavy machine guns to seal the city gate tightly.

The troops came to both sides of the city wall, guarding against top-down grenades on one side, and pulling out grenades prepared in advance on the other.

Facing the direction of the Japanese army who came for support, they just lost it, but the throwing distance is relatively much closer, which is not as easy to use as the Iron Fist.

Although it didn't cause too many casualties to the devil, there were some problems with the devil's defense in an instant.

The mortar unit immediately started the last round of artillery cover, the devil's defense began to collapse, and the soldiers began to turn into a street fighting state.

In the command post, Xiaomi Chuan helplessly patted his adjutant on the shoulder: "It seems that the situation is over, and we are powerless to recover. The soldiers of the empire have performed very bravely, and I am very satisfied with this."

"Thanks to the warriors of the Empire for their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Your Excellency, Zhongzuo, are you going to commit suicide by caesarean section? I've already prepared it for you!"

The adjutant solemnly picked up the rib that was put aside, and bowed to pass it to Zhongzuo Xiaomi Chuan.

However, Xiaomi Chuanzhong Zuo chuckled and explained: "What are you thinking? Gather the remaining troops and prepare to break through!"

"Nani? Your Excellency, but now we are surrounded!"

Xiao Chuanzhongzuo suddenly realized: "In this case, let's surrender! We have tried our best to resist, but, unfortunately, we failed!"

The adjutant looked at his officer in a daze. It was you who wanted to defend, you who encouraged, and you who surrendered.

Do you want to be shameless when you ride a horse?

Boil!
Of course, the adjutant didn't want to die, so he immediately agreed to Xiaomi Chuan Zhongzuo's request, and then said: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, I will give the order right away!"

After the Eighth Route Army troops entered the city, the resistance became weaker. There were not many defenders in the first place. Roughly estimated, the two outer positions wiped out almost 200 Japanese troops.

"Head, we have entered the county seat, we can change places!"

Before Wang Huaibao finished speaking,
Long Wenwen just got up.

A correspondent quickly came to report: "Commander, the devil has surrendered!"

"What? Didn't you still resist very fiercely just now? Why did you surrender as soon as you entered the city?"

"I heard that it was only a partial surrender, and some devils were sniped by devils who were unwilling to surrender. It is not clear what happened."

Long Wenwen chuckled: "That's not easy? It doesn't count as our violation of discipline if they do it themselves!"

Wang Huaibao nodded in surprise, "Of course, they won't care if they hit their own political commissar, and we didn't do it!"

"Understood, let's go! The battle is over, let's see what good things we have captured!"

After Long Wenwen got on his horse and quickly entered the county with Wang Huaibao, the resistance of the Japanese army was compressed in several houses in the center of the county.

Some troops of the Eighth Route Army have even begun to use second-rate Japanese to persuade them to surrender: "Surrender quickly! Your commander has already surrendered. Your so-called honor is just a joke! Don't give up your life!"

It probably sounded very interesting to the Japanese ears, so the resistance of the remaining Japanese troops became more and more intense.

　I failed the postgraduate entrance examination, my health is not good, and I am too tired. This month should be the end of the book.
