Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 492 Encirclement on the Eastern Front

The Japanese infantry had long been prepared for the Republic of China's move to send death squads to blow up tanks and armored vehicles.

The Japanese soldiers lying on top of the tanks set up machine guns and swept across the death squads of the Republic of China army. At the same time, the front-line infantry behind the Japanese tanks immediately covered the tanks.

The infantry and tank coordination on the little devil's side did a very good job. Therefore, Sun Kequan's 187th Division did not blow up the tanks and armored vehicles at all. Instead, the death squads died one after another.

"Fuck..." Sun Kequan's eyes turned red with anger.

At the same time, the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles continued to advance, and the tanks opened fire, killing many of the firepower points of the 187th Division.

All of a sudden, the flanking position at the commanding heights of the 187th Division was captured.

"Master!"

"The Japanese troops are coming up from the flank!"

Sun Kequan's adjutant came and reported the news.

"Wan Quan, you immediately lead the guard company to block the Japanese coming up from the flank. Hurry up..." Sun Kequan used all the soldiers he could use now.

After the 187th Division withstood two Japanese charges, many veterans were killed and the recruits retreated.

The Japanese army's attacks became more and more intense. When Sun Kequan was sorting out the rout, he was injured by a 70mm artillery shell. He fell to the ground and fell into a coma! !

The main position of the 187th Division was finally captured by the Japanese army. Matsuura Junrokuro immediately mobilized troops to consolidate the position and cover the passage of the army.

At this time, Ou Zhen led a division of the Fourth Army to two kilometers outside the main position of the 187th Division. Halfway through, Ou Zhen encountered many defeated troops.

The leading troops intercepted the defeated troops and asked about the fighting situation on the front line.

The defeated soldiers explained the situation of the position in detail. The Japanese army had captured the position thirty minutes ago and was now holding on to it.

Afterwards, Staff Officer Zhang from the Fourth Army came to Ou Zhen and reported the relevant situation.

"Fuck..."

Ou Zhen's eyes narrowed, "March urgently, spread out in battle formation, order the artillery to bomb the Japanese army!"

After receiving the order from the commander, the artillery unit of the Fourth Army immediately adjusted its muzzle and aimed at the main position of the 187th Division.

The artillery force directly under the headquarters of the Fourth Ouzhen Army has twelve Type 75 mountain guns and six mm field guns.

After the 18 artillery pieces were ready, they bombed the 187th Division's position for ten minutes.

Under the cover of artillery fire, Ou Zhen ordered his troops to charge, preparing to seize the position as soon as possible.

Inside the headquarters of the Sichuan Army's 22nd Army!

Yu Hua received a report from Ou Zhen that Sun Kequan's 187th Division position had been lost, and the Japanese army rushed out of the gap. He is now commanding the troops in a bloody battle with the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese 106th Division discarded many large artillery pieces, there are still many artillery pieces at the regiment level and group level.

In particular, the Japanese army now has many artillery positions scattered around, and these small artillery pieces are very easy to move.

The 4th Army of the Cantonese Army is now facing so many Japanese troops, and the pressure is a bit high, and the fighting is fierce.

Although Ou Zhen's Fourth Army can fight, the fighting power that the little devils now unleash in order to break through is also very powerful.

Rabbits bite when they are anxious, and dogs jump over walls when they are anxious, not to mention little devils! ! Especially the remnants of the Japanese army on the Eastern Front, the remaining artillery regiments, are very powerful and lethal.

Previously, Yu Hua only transferred one mountain artillery regiment to the eastern front, and most of the artillery remained on the western front. Now the European Zhen Fourth Army is at a disadvantage in terms of artillery fire.

Yu Jishi also tried his best to intercept the remnants of the Japanese army on the eastern front and prevent them from joining the Japanese who were encircling the western front!

Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division saw the Japanese troops rushing in so quickly. According to Yu Hua's plan, their division set up many artillery positions.

Moreover, the constant shelling of the little Japanese who came in roundabout ways disrupted the Japanese army's evacuation!

At the same time, the machine gun battalion of Liu Changqing's independent brigade was the fastest. After arriving at the eastern front for the first time, the machine gun battalion immediately called the previous death camp!

Liu Bin, the commander of the death battalion, immediately reported the weaknesses of the remaining Japanese troops on the eastern front after getting in touch with his brothers in the machine gun battalion.

Liu Changqing's independent brigade immediately contacted the artillery regiment of the 22nd Army!

The Type 22 105mm howitzer and Type 150 mm howitzer in the nd Army Artillery Regiment immediately targeted the weak points of the remaining Japanese troops on the eastern front and bombed them.

After several shellings, the Independent Brigade Cannon Battalion successfully broke through the Japanese positions on the eastern front!

The soldiers of the machine gun battalion wore gas masks and fought their way out of the poisonous area, which also shocked the Japanese troops on the eastern front.

The Japanese army on the eastern front began to adjust the defense zone, but soon after, the artillery battalion and anti-aircraft machine gun battalion of Liu Changqing's independent brigade also came in.

Especially the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion. After this guy was leveled, it was so powerful that it directly repelled the Japanese counterattack.

The machine gun battalion and the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion cooperated with each other, and the artillery battalion provided artillery fire cover. They successfully took root in the Japanese left-behind area on the eastern front.

After Liu Changqing's independent brigade successfully established itself in the Japanese camp on the eastern front, Liu Changqing immediately organized his troops and began to move closer to the machine gun battalion, artillery battalion, and anti-aircraft machine gun battalion.

The independent brigade was so powerful that after suffering the casualties of one regiment, it finally successfully rendezvoused with the machine gun battalion, artillery battalion, and anti-aircraft machine gun battalion!

The Japanese troops on the eastern front were obviously panicked when they learned that the Sichuan troops were entering, because the fighting power of this group of Sichuan troops was astonishing.

Liu Changqing commanded the independent brigade, using Type 82 infantry artillery, 60 mortars, and mortars to begin attacking the northwest defense zone of the Japanese army on the eastern front!

After Junroku Matsuura learned about the situation on the Eastern Front, he was now so angry that he screamed because the Japanese army on the Eastern Front was cut into two by the Sichuan Army!

Now if the 106th Division breaks through, it will have to leave in three groups. Originally, the old devil Matsuura wanted to join forces, but now it is impossible.

There was no other way, Matsuura Junrokuro had to accept this reality. It was now rare for him to send troops to destroy Liu Changqing's independent brigade.

Because, according to the message from the troops behind them, two divisions of the Sichuan Army are chasing the troops that are encircling the west front!

The top priority is to break through from Wanjialing!

Matsuura Junrokuro sent a message to the remaining troops on the eastern front, asking them to choose a suitable place and evacuate in the direction of De'an.

At this time, Ou Zhen's Fourth Army still failed to block the gap in the 187th Division. The Japanese army fought tenaciously.

As a last resort, Ou Zhen had to contact Yu Hua and ask for heavy artillery support from the Sichuan Army. The Central Army's four heavy artillery had now fired all their shells and was unable to form a fire deterrent against the Japanese army.

Yu Hua was at the headquarters and agreed to Ou Zhen's request!

At the same time, Liu Changqing also sent a message stating that the Japanese troops remaining on the eastern front had now been cut into two by the Independence Brigade!

In the headquarters, everyone clapped their hands and applauded after hearing the news, and Sun Zhen also waved his fist happily!

At this time, everyone was very happy, which meant that it was only a matter of time before the Japanese troops on the eastern front were eliminated.

Once Yu Jishi's 74th Army and Liu Changqing's Independent Brigade were encircled, the Japanese troops remaining on the eastern front were trapped and still fighting.

Chen Cheng on the side sighed: "It's a pity... Ou Zhen's Fourth Army failed to block the gap. The Japanese who came from the western front in a roundabout way have already begun to evacuate towards De'an."
