Wearing dramas starts from Changjin Lake

Chapter 232
The battle was over, and the loot captured this time was very little.

The cannons were basically blown up. Except for two light machine guns with crooked handles and more than 100 [-] big covers, the rest were some bullets, cans and the like.

After cleaning the battlefield, the advance group immediately took a night's rest.

Facing the devil's self-destruct attack this time, the reconnaissance battalion suffered a relatively large loss.

In addition, there has been no replenishment of troops recently, and the advance regiment has dropped from the original 3000 to 2000 to more than [-] people. The artillery battalion, tank company, and transport brigade are still fully staffed, and the rest of the main battalion has suffered damage.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the gunshots on the other side of the barren grass did not stop throughout the night.

But it was obviously much less intense than the battle of the advance group.

This is a swampy terrain, which is really unfavorable for the attack of the main force of the New Thirty Division.

Even if the devil's artillery was dealt with, it would still be difficult for the main regiment of the New [-]th Division to enter Caodianzi.

The grass as deep as a person blocked everyone's sight.

When the main force entered the meadow, they couldn't see where the devils were. They could only enter in batches under the leadership of the scouting team, and then launched an attack on the devils' position.

The devils lost the artillery support and refused to sit still.

They took advantage of Caodianzi's environment and chose to take the initiative.

But when it comes to weapons, the New Thirty Division is a master of mechanics.

Each squad is equipped with two Thomsons or grease guns, as well as carbines or shotguns, as well as some bazookas, so the advantage of firepower is very obvious.

The devils couldn't take advantage of it at all, so they could only be forced to launch a jade broken charge and engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat with Huaxia soldiers.

In terms of melee combat, the soldiers of the New Thirty Division were inexperienced and somewhat disadvantaged.

But the devils have few troops, and many of them are newly added recruits, whose elite level is not as good as that of the old devils before.

Therefore, in yesterday's confrontation, the two sides drew a tie.

At present, the devil's artillery unit was taken away by the advance regiment, and Tang Shouzhi was determined to launch a wave of general offensive, and put the entire 89th regiment and the newly arrived 90th regiment into the battlefield.

In addition, the 105mm howitzer regiment brought in eight more cannons, which strengthened the artillery fire on the front line again.

Sun Liren ordered: "After three rounds of bombardment, launch a general offensive. This morning, we must take down the enemy's position!"

"Yes!"

Tang Shouzhi immediately executed the order and took the lead in launching a violent shelling of the area controlled by the devils.

At the same time, Gao Fei's fire attack proposal was adopted by the American Air Force.

At around [-] o'clock in the morning, the bomber group of the country flew over the area around Guijie and began to carry out the bombing mission.

This time, instead of continuing to use ordinary bombs, they replaced them with napalm.

When the bomb was dropped, the jelly-like gasoline scattered, igniting a large area of ​​grass, and immediately blasting the wild grass into a sea of ​​flames.

The violent burning quickly dried up the wet grass.

The grass, which was not easy to ignite originally, quickly burned under the burning of these petrol bombs, and the raging flames spread to the surroundings.

The devils hiding in the meadow cried and howled.

Some were directly stained with the napalm thrown off by the explosion, and they were burned on the spot, screaming and rolling all over the place.

But he couldn't extinguish the flames on his body. Instead, he rolled the fire everywhere, igniting more weeds.

Until it was burned into a pile of black bones.

Although some were not stained with gasoline, they were roasted by the fire at close range and had nowhere to hide. Even if they got into the underground bunker, their bodies were still red from the high temperature.

Some had their hair and eyebrows scorched, and the weapons in their hands were equally hot, and the blazing heat made them miserable.

In the case of extensive burns on the body, it is difficult to survive without timely and effective treatment.

That's not counting, there is something even more terrifying, that is, after the wet thatch is ignited, thick smoke billows out.

Thick smoke shrouded a large area, covering the sky and the sun, and the terrified sounds of devils were everywhere.

In the burning area, many devils were choked to tears and coughed violently.

Even if you cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel or put on a gas mask, it won't last long.

Some devils died of suffocation because of inhaling too much smoke.

Such thick smoke and fire forced the devils to abandon their position and flee towards areas where there was no fire.

The originally solid defense line, under such a fire attack, quickly had a gap.

However, because the fire was so intense that even the attacking new army was forced to stop and wait.

The devils didn't expect that the Meijun would use Yang Quide's tactic, not ordinary bomb bombing, but napalm bombs.

The weeds in the meadow were very humid. After burning for a period of time, the fire gradually decreased at noon, and the fire in some places stopped spreading when it encountered mud and gradually extinguished.

Looking down from a height, the original barren meadow was scorched black.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the New Thirty Division began to launch a wave of tentative attacks. The devils had already lost their morale, and immediately fell into a passive and beaten situation.

But Tanaka Shinichi did not give up, and ordered all troops to continue to defend.

This tenacious plan should be attributed to Masanobu Tsuji, Chief of Staff of the No.30 Armed Forces.

This man is extremely crazy, and he doesn't take the lives of soldiers seriously at all. In his eyes, all soldiers can die in order to achieve their goals.

In desperation, all the devils could only return to their positions and continue to defend to the death.

In the afternoon, the fire was completely extinguished, and the main force of the New [-]th Division immediately launched the final general offensive.

After experiencing the fire attack, the devil's position had lost the thatch barrier and was exposed to a scorched open field. Now the devil has nothing to take advantage of.

With the support of artillery, the main force of the New Thirty Division launched a fierce attack on the devils.

In just half a day, the 89th regiment conquered the devil's first line of defense, killed nearly two hundred enemies, and firmly established itself.

The devils on the second line of defense lost their artillery support and could only use the two [-] infantry guns or grenades equipped by the squadron.

But in the face of the concentrated fire volley of the artillery regiment, these firepowers are insignificant at all, just like scratching an itch.

In the end, they could only rely on the fortifications that were about to collapse, and use [-] large covers to resist.

There is really no suspense in this kind of battle. In less than two hours, the second line of defense was completely defeated.

The devils on the defense line were either killed, or fled back to Guijie town with their tails between their legs.

The attack went more smoothly than had been expected, and the casualties of the attacking troops were not serious.

Sun Liren and Tang Shouzhi were very satisfied with this, and ordered the troops to stabilize the current results and prepare to fight again tomorrow.

The advance regiment led by Gao Fei also rushed over, and together with the 89th and 90th regiments of the New [-]th Division surrounded Guijie Town on three sides.

The town of Guijie is built on the mountain, and the narrow and open land is divided into two by the 300-meter-high hill. The road bypasses the west side of the mountain, and then leads to Xinwei and Lashio through Guijie.

Therefore, the attack on Guijie is just entering the first stage. The main force of the new army must first capture the open land in the north before continuing to attack the small town of Guijie.

Compared with Xinwei and Lashio, the town of Guijie is not so large and has a small population, but it is the last barrier of Xinwei.

Taking Guijie Township, Xinwei opened the door.

The long-range artillery can directly hit the shells into the city of Xinwei.

The devil actually knew very well that no matter how digging and fortifications were built, it was impossible to stop the attack of the New Army just by relying on this barren grassland in the north of Guijie.

So Gao Fei boldly guessed that the devil would never show all his hole cards, and there must be a back hand.

What exactly it is, he doesn't know yet.
