Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 492 The Blind Man's Dream of Forming a Cavalry Battalion Disappeared

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Da da da!--"

The 10 heavy machine guns were fully fired at the same time, and the dense bullets poured down. Together with the mortar shells that flew over from time to time, they ruthlessly blocked the retreat of the Japanese independent and mixed 8th Brigade.

After launching several breakouts in succession, all of which were intercepted by the powerful firepower of the new regiment, Yamashita Fengwu's brows were suddenly knit together.

However, the old devil did not lose his mind because of the current failure, he still maintained a clear mind.

While avoiding the attack of the new group, the old devil was also scanning the entire Phoenix Ridge with his sharp eyes like a falcon, looking for a suitable position to break through.

Yes, Fengwu Yamashita had given up on the main road and broke through from the entrance of the mountain road.

Because the firepower of the new regiment is too fierce, don’t look at the fact that there are still more than 8 people left in the independent mixed 3000th brigade, but if they continue to take the road to break through, even if the number is doubled, it is not enough for 10 heavy machine guns to harvest .

Don't underestimate the power of heavy machine guns. During the Normandy landing in history, a German machine gunner named Severo killed more than 9 Allied soldiers in just 4000 hours.

Yamashita also attempted to suppress the new regiment of machine gunners on the hill with machine gun fire and knock them out with mortars.

It's just that Li Yunlong had been guarding against his move for a long time. The artillerymen of the new regiment did nothing else but stared at the devil's machine gunners and artillerymen.

Almost as soon as the devil's machine gunner and artillery set up their machine guns and mortars, one or more grenades would definitely fly over the mountain, and then blow up the devil's machine gunner and artillery, including people and weapons.

After some reconnaissance, Yamashita Fengwu narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on a mountain depression not far to the left in front of him.

Although the Xinyi Regiment also deployed a heavy machine gun at that position, its firepower was obviously many times weaker than that at the entrance of the mountain road.

As long as they suppress this heavy machine gun, they can forcefully break through against a new group of other light machine guns and rifle fire.

"Pass my order, immediately stop breaking out from the direction of Taiyuan, turn around, use the brigade as a unit, alternately cover each other, and break out from the left mountain col 100 meters ahead!"

As soon as the order was issued, the devils of the independent and mixed 8th Brigade immediately rushed towards the col.

Along the way, ghost soldiers were constantly hit by bullets or blown out by grenades.

But the rest of the devils turned a blind eye and rushed to kill them all the way.

It is worth mentioning that Fenghuang Ridge is not a big mountain or a depression, but a small hill guarding a main mountain. It is named Fenghuang Ridge because of its resemblance to a phoenix.

The terrain here is not too dangerous, and Li Yunlong hastily set up an ambush, and failed to block all the small forks.

So, in a panic, Yamashita Fengwu insisted on finding a way out in the desperate situation, and after leaving more than 1000 corpses behind, he finally succeeded in highlighting a new ambush circle.

Looking at the direction where the devils broke through, Sun Desheng, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, asked for instructions: "Regiment commander, do you want to send troops to pursue immediately?"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Don't chase after poor bandits, only a small part of this band of devils escaped, and lost most of their heavy firepower weapons here, even if they went to Jinzhong, they would not be able to change the situation of the battle at all.

Therefore, they will definitely return to Taiyuan the same way.

If we continue to pursue, they will definitely ask Taiyuan for help.

Even though we just won a battle right now, if we were to face the devil head-on, we still don't have much chance of winning. "

Although Li Yunlong is lawless, he is definitely not the kind of person who is very successful. On the contrary, the more he takes advantage, the calmer he becomes.

He would only take risks when faced with desperate situations or other special circumstances.

"Clean the battlefield immediately!"

……

On the other side, the 3rd Battalion of Japanese Armored Vehicles and the Black Island Cavalry Wing were also blocked by the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment in Ma'erling and Jinwu Mountain respectively.

Because of the hard shells of the tanks and armored vehicles, only half of a group of more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles were blown up by the independent regiment using towed mines, and the rest of the tanks were forced out of the encirclement.

Since the intersection heading to Jinzhong was blocked by damaged tanks and armored vehicles, these little devils could only turn around and return to Taiyuan.

However, the devil infantry of the accompanying brigade did not have a bastard box as a cover. Under the fierce attack of the independent regiment, most of them were killed or injured, and in the end only two people who could not reach the squadron escaped.

On the other side of Jinwu Mountain, the 772 regiment was only facing a black island cavalry regiment, and the battle was relatively much simpler.

If Cheng Xiazi hadn't been greedy for the devil's army horses and wanted to expand the cavalry company of the 772 regiment into a cavalry battalion, he could have completely wiped them out.

The result was that more than 1000 devil cavalry escaped, and more than 300 of them escaped. The horses on the battlefield were basically killed and injured.

There are less than 100 intact horses, and the cavalry battalion is definitely useless, but it is possible to expand the castrated version of the cavalry company into a strengthened company.

There was no way. The battle situation at that time was too chaotic. The soldiers of the 772 regiment opened fire one after another, and the dense bullets were like a torrential rain. Although the soldiers of the 772 regiment deliberately controlled it, the bullets did not have eyes.

Looking at the corpses of war horses all over the ground, Cheng Xiazi almost burst into tears of distress.

"These horse meat should improve the lives of soldiers."

Cheng Xiazi can only comfort himself in this way...

……

The screen returns to Jinzhong County.

The regiments of the Eighth Route Army worked steadily and steadily, advancing towards the center of the city little by little, constantly encroaching on the area occupied by the devils.

Seeing the situation getting worse, Naotomi Hattori, head of the devil brigade, became more and more depressed.

The chief of staff Yasuda Shindou next to him said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, according to the current situation, I am afraid that we will not last until dawn, and the crazy Eighth Route Army will be able to break into our headquarters."

"Commander Shinozuka Yoshio called back and said that he had dispatched the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade, the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment, and the 3rd Armored Vehicle Battalion to provide us with tactical guidance. Calculating the time, it has been almost two hours. .

It stands to reason that they should be approaching Jinzhong soon, but they have not been seen for a long time. Could it be that they were blocked by the Eighth Route Army halfway? "

Hearing what Yasuda said, Hattori Naotomi's heart, which was already extremely heavy, sank to the bottom at this moment.

He said with a gloomy face: "It is absolutely impossible for Yamashita and the others to waste time on the road, they must have been blocked by the Eighth Route Army.

Since this Eighth Route Army will attack Jinzhong, it will definitely leave enough reserve troops to set up an ambush halfway to block the reinforcements of the imperial army! "

After a pause, Naotomi Hattori changed his voice and said again: "Yota-kun, please send a telegram to the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade to ask where they are."

"Hi Yi!"

Bao Tianzheng nodded heavily, then turned and left...
