Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 542 The Desperate Norihide Abe: Fight for Honor!

"Grambling team, artillery platoon, kill the devil's machine gunner first!"

"Each company, fully fire, hit me!"

When Xu Hailang gave an order, the soldiers of the first battalion and the second battalion in the front line fired with all their strength.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Da da da!"

"Crack, clap clap clap!—"

In an instant, the dense bullets pulled the line of fire, like a gust of wind and rain, and poured towards the 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army rushing towards them.

"what!"

"Ugh, uh uh!—"

Caught off guard, a large group of devils screamed and fell to the ground, and the surviving devils lay down on the spot, or kneeled and raised their guns to fight back.

The machine gun teams in the rear also opened up their firepower to provide cover for the attacking troops.

Immediately afterwards, the grenadiers also set up grenadiers one after another, and were about to fire at the position where the flames were spewing out in front.

And at this moment, clusters of dazzling red flames suddenly burst out from the opposite hillside. It was the grenadiers and artillery of the First Battalion and Second Battalion of the Second Independent Regiment who fired.

The next moment, grenades fell one after another on the devil's machine gun positions, and exploded violently.

Among the raging flames, at least a dozen devil machine gunners were blown out with their weapons.

The devil's firepower was weakened by nearly half in an instant.

Soon, the second and third rounds of shelling by the Second Independent Regiment followed.

This time, their targets were no longer limited to the devil's machine gunners, but also the devil's grenadiers and infantry.

Rear attack position.

Kihide Abe followed the attack the whole time. Seeing this, his old face instantly darkened.

Chief of Staff Suzuki Seishaburo's two pupils contracted even more rapidly: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, this Eighth Route Army is really big and hard to deal with!"

"They were obviously chased all the way here by the imperial army, but they deployed such a dense line of defense in less than 10 minutes.

The most important thing is that they actually have grenadiers and mortars of this size.

Moreover, the quality of the artillery is so high that it is not weaker than the artillery of the imperial army at all! "

"The 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment may be in trouble!"

Hearing this, Kihide Abe's face became even more gloomy: "The reason why the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has such a large-scale grenadier and shelling is not sent by those incompetent idiots!"

Fengwu Yamashita next to him couldn't help but blushed. Fortunately, it was night and everyone's eyes were focused on the battlefield ahead, so no one noticed the change in his expression.

Damn!Kihide Abe, is it too much for you to accuse Sang and scold Huai in person?

Say us?When you independently mixed into the 2nd Brigade's opponent, the [-]nd Independent Regiment, weren't you just like a bird?
Of course, this was Fengwu Yamashita's mental activity, and he didn't say it out loud.

Although the two are both brigade commanders, he is only a major general, and Norihide Abe is a lieutenant general, at the same level as Commander Shinozuka Yoshio.

In addition, Abe Kihide's qualifications are unmatched by Yamashita Fengwu.

Officials crushed people to death at the first level, and they had to stand at attention when they were beaten!
Norihide Abe added: "Order the 2nd Independent Tank Battalion to attack immediately, and provide fire guidance to the 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment!"

Suzuki Kiyosaburo hurriedly dissuaded him: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, you can't do it! Didn't you just say that this Tuba Road has mastered the method of dealing with tanks, and if tanks and armored vehicles are put into it, they will definitely be attacked by the opponent's Molotov cocktails.

The Imperial Army's tanks are extremely important strategic equipment.

If we lose too many tanks, even if we can severely damage the Eighth Route Army, it will not be worth the loss! "

Norihide Abe: "Although the Eighth Route Army has mastered the method of dealing with tanks, it is not easy to accurately throw Molotov cocktails on tanks.

Moreover, the 2nd Independent Tank Battalion was only covering the 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment to launch an attack. As long as the Imperial Army's tank convoy does not move too far forward, coupled with the cover of infantry, the Chinese bombers want to throw Molotov cocktails on the tanks. Still extremely difficult! "

"But……"

Before Suzuki Kiyosaburo could finish speaking, Abe Kihide interrupted sharply: "There's nothing wrong! Is it possible to stop this attack?"

"Mr. Suzuki, you have to know that the Eighth Route Army destroyed Wusu Airport under the nose of the Imperial Army, which is a great shame for us!
If we can't wipe out this damn Eighth Route Army, not only will we not be able to explain to Commander Shinozuka Yoshio, but even the Front Army Command will be held accountable!

Moreover, you have also seen the fighting power of this Tuba Road. They have only been formed for less than half a year, and they have developed to such a terrifying fighting power, and they have repeatedly hit the imperial army.

If they are allowed to continue to develop, their threat to the imperial army will be immeasurable!

We have already missed the opportunity to kill this Eighth Route Army in its cradle, and we must not let it continue to grow and develop now! "

"Hi Yi! I understand!"

Suzuki Kiyosaburo nodded heavily, then turned and left, delivering the order himself.

Norihide Abe looked at Fengwu Yamashita and Shinichi Miyamoto, the captain of the 1st Armored Vehicle Battalion, "Yamashita-kun, Miyamoto-kun, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for me to form the second brigade on my own right now. This Eighth Route Army has been completely wiped out, so we still need the help of the two of you.

please! "

After finishing speaking, Kihide Abe bowed to the two with a serious expression.

Yamashita Fengwu hurriedly said: "Abe-kun is serious, it is our duty to fight for the interests and honor of the empire.

What we need to do, you say it. "

Miyamoto Shinichi also said: "Yes, General Abe, just say what you want us to do."

Norihide Abe: "I need both of you to attack from the left and right flanks at the same time. It is best to outflank this Eighth Route Army to the rear and encircle it on all sides!"

"Even if you can't destroy it in one fell swoop, you must cut off the opponent's retreat."

"As long as we persist until dawn, the Royal Air Force at Xincheng Airport will be able to launch into the air to fight, and then the Eighth Route Army will die!"

Hearing this, Fengwu Yamashita turned his head and said, "Abe-kun, since this is the case, why should we be in a hurry, why should we focus on cutting off the opponent's retreat, encircling instead of attacking, and delaying until dawn?"

Norihide Abe: "If two brigades of the imperial army are dispatched, but one regiment of the Eighth Route Army cannot be wiped out, it will be a great shame for us!"

"Yamashita-kun, we are not only fighting for the mission of Yoshio Shinozuka, but also for our own honor!"

"I understand!"

Yamashita said this, but he had a different idea in his heart, that is, he promised Norihide Abe first, and then delayed the implementation.

It's not that he doesn't want to avenge his shame, the main reason is that he has experienced the horror of the Second Independent Regiment. The 8th Independent Mixed Brigade has been beaten and disabled. If he is hit hard again, then he, the brigade commander, will become a poor commander.

That's right, Yamashita not only told Yoshio Shinozuka during his report that it was the Second Independent Regiment who ambushed him in Fenghuang Ridge, in fact he also thought so.

Because in his heart, only the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has the strength to seriously damage their independent mixed Eighth Brigade.
