Chapter 217 Flat Push
After the advance regiment blew up the heavy artillery, it quickly merged with the large forces of the New First Army.

"Army, are you looking for me?" Gao Fei drove to Sun Liren's headquarters.

"Well. This time, you and the advance regiment took down the enemy's heavy artillery, which is indispensable. How is it? Do you have any good suggestions for attacking Nankan?"

Gao Fei thought for a while and said: "The Japanese army stationed in Nankan City now has only a mere 500 troops. They lack heavy weapons, only a few 92 infantry guns and 60 mortars. The firepower is extremely poor.

Now our army has a large number of artillery units, and even two tank battalions.The number of troops and weapons and equipment is definitely the advantage of crushing. "

This information has been collected long ago, and Sun Liren asked directly: "So, your suggestion is...?"

Gao Fei said: "Two words - flat push!"

After Sun Liren heard this, he was full of confidence and rushed to the outside of Nankan in person to take command of this crucial battle.

With the assistance of the engineering unit, the Artillery Regiment of the Army has gradually transported the 105th Howitzer Regiment directly under the Army and the Mountain Artillery Battalion under the Division to the battlefield.

Immediately, a fierce shelling was launched against Nancan City.

Bombers and fighter jets from the sky also rushed to support, and dozens of tons of bombs were dropped, turning Nankan into a sea of ​​flames.

This is no longer an attack in the ordinary sense, this is a complete abuse with heavy firepower!
The remaining Japanese troops did faithfully execute
Following Sato's order, he hid in all the fortifications, bunkers, houses and even drains where he could hide, and resisted desperately.

But in the face of the powerful firepower of the new army, it can't do anything at all.

Goofy suggested not only supporting the infantry with artillery but also equipping the infantry with bazookas and flamethrowers.

In this way, no matter how hard the Japanese army charged, they would only be sent to death.

If you encounter stubborn resistance, the artillery will immediately provide fire support to blow down all obstacles or solid fortifications in front of you.

Where the shells were difficult to hit, a bazooka would be fired. There was no fortress that could not be dealt with by one armor-piercing shell. If there was, then two.

Encountering more difficult underground fortifications, the flame-breathing soldiers sprayed them inside and made a barbecue meal for the ghosts hiding inside.

In the face of flat pushing, no matter how tenacious the Japanese army was, they couldn't hold back such a style of play.

Gao Fei's suggestion was really effective.

The Japanese army suffered heavy losses, while the New First Army suffered very few casualties.

At present, only the New First Army can afford this kind of battle, and any other army can't afford such a costly battle.

Obviously, fighting such a battle is very cool.

The battle continues.

Originally, the troops in the Japanese army city were very limited. Facing this kind of attack that was completely suppressed by firepower, it was impossible to stop the lingering offensive of the new army.

He could only watch helplessly as the city wall was gradually destroyed by artillery fire, and more and more Chinese soldiers rushed into the city.

Even if Sato becomes a fairy now, there is nothing he can do.

So he could only ask the 33rd Army Command for instructions.

Not long after the telegram was sent, he received a telegram from Honda Zhengcai, telling him to go to Lashio immediately to assist in the defense and delay the enemy's offensive.

Honda Zhengcai made such a decision because he had already learned the information on the battlefield in western Yunnan.

He believes that as long as they persist, the New First Army will be forced to return to China in the face of the domestic emergency.

At that time, only the infantry army and a small amount of rice army are left, and he can fight a beautiful turnaround.

Therefore, after receiving Junjiro Koizumi's plan to encircle Nankan from the new army at the last moment, Masai Honda decided to send Sato's army to Lashio to join Shinichi Tanaka's army to guard against death. .

But on the way to Lashio, Sato suddenly encountered a Chinese army tens of kilometers away.

This unit is the 38th regiment of the new 114th division. This is an old unit that has been battle-tested.

The previous commander was Li Hong, the current commander of the new 38th Division.

It is said that there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. Under the leadership of Li Hong, this army has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and won many beautiful battles.

This time, according to Sun Liren's order, the 114th regiment was ordered to attack in the direction of Lashio.

When the New 30th Division attacked Nankan, it restrained the Japanese army in the direction of Lashio and put pressure on the Japanese army in the direction of Lashio, so that they could not spare their hands to rescue Nankan or reinforce Mangyou.

But yesterday, when the 114th regiment was approaching Lashio, it suddenly received an order from Sun Liren to change the battle plan on the way, ordering them to return to outflank Nankan.

One goes, one goes back.

This is why the two units of the 114th Regiment and Sato's 56th Regiment met halfway.

Sato is now in a dilemma.

Enter, may not be able to beat;
Retreat, behind is the besieged Namkan.

The 56th Wing retreated to Nankan and reorganized, with more than 1000 people.

But these sources of troops are all broken soldiers put together from here and there, so let's not think about their combat effectiveness.

Sato himself is also very clear about what kind of army he is currently leading, and he has no hope of winning at all.

He also knew in his heart that Honda's government was nothing more than letting him die in Lashio, delaying the pace of the new army going south.

Filled with resentment, he sent a telegram that he was surrounded by the main force of the New First Army, and decided to break out of the encirclement towards Mangyou.

At this time, his opponent was Wang Dongli, the current head of the 114th regiment, and also a veteran of the battlefield.

I have been following Li Hong since 38, and have served in the new 38th division.

First served as a company commander, then a battalion commander, and finally participated in the Battle of Bhamo with outstanding military exploits.

After Li Hong was promoted to the commander of the new 38th Division, Wang Dongli was promoted to the commander of the 114th Regiment because of his ability and military exploits.

"Tuan Zuo, a group of Japanese soldiers appeared in front of them. Their numbers are very complicated. They seem to be reinforcements coming to support Nankan."

"how many people?"

The intelligence officer said: "About 1000 people, the exact number is unknown."

"Okay, I see, continue to investigate!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the detected information, Wang Dongli estimated the strength of the enemy and us.

The 114th regiment is the main regiment of the new 38th division, and they are all moldy guns and well-equipped.

In addition, the soldiers are veterans who have experienced many battles, and their fighting qualities are extremely high.

Coupled with the continuous victory of the counterattack, all officers and soldiers of the new 38th Division have built up strong self-confidence.

Also, they showed a strong will to fight on the battlefield.

The Japanese army was completely at a disadvantage in terms of morale, equipment, and even the quality of individual soldiers.

Combining various factors, Wang Dongli immediately decided to lead the 114 regiment to go head-on, and launched a wave of shock towards Sato!
The narrow road meets the brave to win!

It didn't take long for Sato's troops to be beaten up and down by the soldiers of the 114th regiment, and the troops suddenly became chaotic.

What's more, the Japanese army's heavy firepower is becoming more and more insufficient, and it is completely suppressed.

Li Hong assigned an artillery battery of nine M114 mountain howitzers to the 1th regiment, and when the attack started, the artillery fired indiscriminately, causing the Japanese soldiers to scream.

In terms of terrain, the 114th regiment occupies a favorable terrain.

Under such three advantages of the right time, place and people, Sato's troops were beaten to the point of being powerless to fight back.

In just half a day, the casualties were heavy, and the subordinates even began to flee.

Many devils are scrambling to escape, no matter how restrained Sato and his officers are, they cannot be stopped.

As a result, the more than 1000 people in Sato were completely dispersed in just over half a day.

The 56th Regiment fled, and the 114th Regiment pursued wildly, chasing and killing all over the mountains and plains.

Sato Matasaburo was chased in a panic, first he ran towards Lashio, then when he couldn't escape, he ran towards Mangyou and plunged into the primeval jungle.

A large number of devils had no choice but to sneak into the mountains and dense forests because they couldn't get rid of their pursuers.

In this battle, the 114th regiment captured more than 100 Japanese soldiers, killed more than 400 devils, seized hundreds of guns of various types, a small amount of food, two Japanese 75 field guns and a A [-]-step gun.

This kind of 75 field artillery is very rare on the battlefield. When the Japanese army is defeated, they will first destroy their artillery or heavy machine guns. Like today, the situation of capturing two complete field artillery was rare in the past. .

Captured four heavy cannons in the valley like the advance group did, relying on a quick sneak attack, in one go, so that the devils had no time to destroy them, so that they could be captured in one fell swoop.

But today, it was the Japanese army who voluntarily gave up these artillery pieces, and before they even had time to destroy them, they were killed without leaving any of them, and they fled away.

The current Japanese army is almost demoralized and has no fighting spirit at all.
