Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 381
Just when the situation on the battlefield was out of the control of both sides, the "new force" led by Zhou Weihan finally arrived.

"Detachment Captain, the situation on the battlefield ahead is too chaotic. We met the cavalry from the cavalry regiment responsible for scouting!" The scout who was sent to scout the battlefield came back confused. cavalry platoon.

"How did the situation on the battlefield become like this?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"Detachment Captain, I don't know exactly why this happened. After our cavalry regiment arrived, the little devil was about to retreat. The head ordered other companies to look for fighters. Our cavalry platoon was responsible for scouting the movement and location of the little devil's retreat and to respond to the main force. Troops, it didn't take long before I heard gunshots, and then gunshots came from all directions!" The cavalry platoon leader reported.

To be honest, the current situation on the battlefield is beyond Zhou Weihan's expectations. Anyone with eyes can see it, but it is not clear what the specific situation is.

"Have you found out the location of the Japanese army headquarters?" Xing Zhiguo asked.

"I saw Japanese artillery entering a village in the northeast. It is most likely the headquarters of the Japanese army, but it is currently blocked by the battlefield, so we have to go around from the east!"

"Old Zhou, in this situation, we can't let a regiment join the battle rashly, otherwise it will only make the situation more chaotic. As long as the Japanese infantry can be wiped out, the artillery in the village will not be able to make a difference!" Xing Zhiguo suggested.

Zhou Weihan looked at the sky, the weather was gloomy, it seemed that it was going to rain, and fortunately the battle took place during the day, if it was a night battle, in the current situation, accidental injuries would be inevitable.

The situation was urgent, Zhou Weihan couldn't afford to hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered: "The first regiment, the first battalion, and the second battalion will advance from the southeast and southwest of the battlefield, the third battalion will detour to the east of the battlefield, and then the third battalion will advance westward!"

"The three battalions of a regiment are each equipped with a heavy machine gun company, and they advance gradually along their respective attack directions."

Zhou Weihan's arrangement in this way was also after comprehensive consideration.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Weizi Town is located on the west side, and the Xinyi Regiment must have pursued the Japanese army retreating eastward from the west side.

Therefore, Zhou Weihan asked the third battalion to advance from east to west, trying to give the little devils who were fighting fiercely a blow in the back.

The same is true of the real situation. The first battalion of the new regiment joined the battle from the west, and then Luo Benzhong arrived with the second and third battalions, so the west is the most intense fighting area.

Following Zhou Weihan's order, a regiment attacked quickly, with three infantry companies in each battalion in front, followed by a heavy machine gun company, adopting a fast and steady advance method.

After that, the first battalion and the second battalion fought each other, and it didn't take long for the third battalion to hear gunshots.

Each battalion is full of 540 people, plus heavy machine gun companies, and 82 mortar platoons split into each battalion, there are nearly 700 people in each direction, and each infantry squad is equipped with a light machine gun, A 50 mortar, plus a large number of short guns, submachine guns.

With this kind of firepower equipment, all the small groups of Japanese troops encountered along the way were wiped out one by one, and the fighters of the single Xinyi regiment and cavalry regiment also quickly moved closer together.

In this situation surrounded by three sides, many Japanese troops who did not know the truth were driven to the west side of the battlefield where the fighting was most intense.

Li Yunlong was the first to notice the change in the battlefield situation, and then said: "Why is this little devil running this way? No, this is the sound of the Czech light machine gun, and the Maxim heavy machine gun. Damn it, Zhou Weihan finally coming!"

Luo Benzhong also breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yunlong led the first battalion to head towards the Japanese army, but the infantry did not have the mobility of the cavalry. If he hadn't led the second and third battalions to fight to the death, next year today would be Li Yunlong's death day .

"It's really timely, if it's a little later, we'll all have to let it go!" Luo Benzhong said angrily.

"Look at what you said, you're too stingy. Without me, the little devils have all gathered together. No matter how you look at it now, it's not a loss!" Li Yunlong retorted directly.

On the other side, Zhu Dashan also led two companies to break out of the siege again, but this time because the Japanese army gathered westward one after another, the density of personnel on the battlefield became higher, and the cavalry regiment obviously encountered resistance when they fought. Hang up.

Zhu Dashan, who had killed all directions just now, now stands in front of Zhou Weihan shyly.

"How did I give the cavalry regiment a battle order?" Zhou Weihan said coldly.

"The cavalry regiment is responsible for clearing out the small units of the Japanese army. They cannot engage in battle with the main force. But when the little devil was about to run away, Captain Li led his men up there. Brother troops are fighting desperately against the little devil. Our cavalry regiment can't stand by and stare blankly!" Zhu Dashan defended with a bitter face.

"Okay, hurry up and gather your troops, and then your cavalry regiment will go to the village in the northeast. Once there are Japanese troops who are fighting to retreat there, you must always pay attention to the movements of the Japanese troops in the village. Do you understand?" Zhou Weihan said loudly.

"Understood!" Zhu Dashan immediately changed back to a smiling face when he heard that there was still a battle to be fought.

After Zhu Dashan left, Xing Zhiguo said with a smile: "This is really a random move. The random fight is a chance to fight. The Japanese artillery has not shot yet. Aren't they afraid of accidentally injuring their own soldiers!"

"I know that the cavalry regiment is the treasure in your hand. The cavalry is different from the infantry. It is not easy to form, but no army can go through the baptism of war. Let me say that if you keep protecting the cavalry regiment, baby, it will It may not be a good thing for the cavalry regiment!"

Zhou Weihan agrees with what Xing Zhiguo said, but...
The words were divided into two parts. Just when the Japanese army was surrounded on three sides, Tian Michi Moritake, who was in the division headquarters, also noticed that the situation was not good.

Tian Daoshengwu imagined that the village would be defended before the arrival of the Eighth Route Army reinforcements, but the current situation broke his plan.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please forgive me. As soon as we left the village, we encountered the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army. I did not contact Captain Songgu!" A wounded little devil stood in front of Tian Dao Shengwu miserable.

Since the encircled Japanese army did not carry a radio station, Moritake Tian Michi was eager to let the Japanese army withdraw to the village, so he could only send a dozen signal soldiers to contact Matsutani Shinya.

As a result, only one signal soldier returned, and it is not known whether the rest of them successfully contacted Matsutani who commanded the operation.

I saw Tian Michitake said: "You are very brave, this is not your responsibility, go to the health team to bandage it, and then it is time to fight for the emperor!"

"Hi!" The soldier responded excitedly.

After the soldiers left, Tian Daoshengwu's face turned livid, and the change in the battle situation was unexpected. Matsuya Shinya led his troops to the village, but turned back to support the Japanese army who was entangled by the Shinichi regiment and the cavalry regiment. Now even Matsuya Shinya They were all surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

The communication between the division headquarters and the front line was interrupted. There is only one mountain artillery brigade, one heavy machine gun squadron, one logistics squadron, and the division headquarters, regiment headquarters and other Japanese troops in the village.

"Baga, Matsutani Shinya is an idiot who can cut his wrists and retreat in time. It's obviously a rescue, but now he is surrounded, and the future of the [-]st Division is completely ruined in his hands!" Tian Dao Shengwu roared.

Seeing this, the adjutant at the side quickly tried to persuade him: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, maybe Captain Songgu, seeing that something is wrong, will concentrate his forces to break through the village where the Division Headquarters is located. When I see it, I can ask the artillery to respond!"

"I hope so, just do as you say, and at the same time let the soldiers in the village hurry up and build the fortifications!"

At this time, Matsutani Shinya's department, which was under siege, also reached the last moment.

At that time, Matsutani also realized that the reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army had arrived, but the movement of Yituan was too fast. After Matsutani realized it, he gathered the troops again, and Yiqiu had completed the encirclement.

Shinya Matsutani organized troops to break through the siege many times, but they were all repelled. Even the heavy machine gun squadron and infantry artillery squadron didn't know when they were separated, and finally their remnants were trapped on a small hill.

Matsutani also looked around, there were only two hundred soldiers left, and most of them were injured.

When Weizi Town was attacked, there were more than [-] casualties, about three squadrons. When retreating, two squadrons that were not full of size were eaten by the Eighth Route Army.

When he came to lead his troops to support, he encountered a cavalry raid from the Eighth Route Army and the troops were dispersed.

Now I am trapped in one place again, there is no hope of breaking through, thinking of this, Matsutani can't help but feel sad.

"Boom boom boom!" The explosion of shells woke up Matsutani Shinya from his remorse.

The fireball that soared into the sky turned the earth into scorched earth, and the burst of air waves flew the corpses of the Japanese soldiers into the sky.

Accompanied by deafening shouts of killing, new regiments and regiments of soldiers rushed from all directions to the hill where the Japanese army was located.

The remnants of the Japanese army seemed to have lost their fighting spirit and did not form a decent resistance at all, and were then submerged in the sea of ​​people.

With most of the infantry being annihilated, the Japanese army of the [-]st Division also ushered in the end.
