People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 21 Chu Yunfei personally supervised the battle

"Your Excellency, Captain, the Hengshan Brigade has quickly penetrated into the depths of the 358th Regiment. I believe they will completely defeat the 358th Regiment soon."

"These Jinsui troops can only defend on the first line. If the first line of defense is breached, they will not be able to block our attack at all."

"This time, we can definitely annihilate them easily! The imperial army is not something that these miscellaneous troops can defeat at all!"

Here at the headquarters of the third wing, a second lieutenant excitedly came to Hachiro Eguchi to report.

Eguchi Hachiro raised his binoculars to observe, finally showing a smile on his face.

Although the Inoue brigade was heavily bombarded and its heavy weapons were completely destroyed, he was very satisfied with the progress of the battle.

"Daye Squadron has quickly made a detour from the flanks, and I believe they will be able to destroy the artillery units of the Jinsui Army soon."

"Without these artillery support, this Jinsui army would be a soft persimmon, we can squeeze it at will."

"If I can capture their artillery, I'd like to see what the origin of this elite artillery is!"

Eguchi Hachiro put down the binoculars and said with a very relaxed expression.

From his point of view, he already has the chance to win.

The fierce battle on the front line was still going on, four infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron rushed forward under the command of Major Yokoyama.

About [-] Japanese troops broke through the defensive position next to the high ground and quickly penetrated in depth.

The five squadrons acted in unison and cooperated tacitly, like a sharp knife, piercing the heart of the 358 regiment.

The Inoue Brigade, which was hit, also opened fire at this time and cooperated closely.

Four infantry guns and four rapid-fire guns constantly changed positions and fired one after another to divert and attack the troops on the high ground.

The four infantry squadrons with hundreds of little devils continued to advance and attack, fully supporting the breakthrough of the Hengshan Brigade.

As for the Ono Squadron, which was originally responsible for the task of guarding the flag, it began to secretly detour from the flanks, trying to find the position of the artillery unit on the right side and carry out an annihilation operation.

Near the battlefield, a new group of hidden positions is here.

"Regimental Commander, the artillerymen of the Jinsui Army are as fierce as tigers, but why are their infantry like sick cats?"

"With so many little devils advancing in depth, they are likely to be defeated. With so many little devils, they will definitely not be able to stop them."

"Even if their artillery is strong, facing the little devil at close range, their artillery can't put a bayonet on the artillery."

Zhang Dabiao raised his binoculars to observe, and said with a disappointed expression on his face.

Originally, he thought that this Jinsui army was not easy, but in the blink of an eye, the position was broken by the Japanese army.

Seeing the 358 or so advancing in depth, Zhang Dabiao knew that the [-] regiment was about to die.

"It seems that the artillery supporting their operations is someone else. It is estimated that [-]% of them are the Central Army."

"It's a pity, what a good situation, the relationship between these Jinsui troops has been weakened for a while!"

"Order the troops and prepare for battle..."

Li Yunlong put down the binoculars and said very speechlessly that he was ready to issue a combat order.

Through detailed observation, Li Yunlong had already locked on the combat target.

He was preparing to attack Hachiro Eguchi's headquarters, an old enemy of the Shinichi regiment.

During the battle at Cangyun Ridge before, Eguchi Hachiro's No. [-] Brigade was responsible for attacking the Xinyi Regiment and paid a certain amount of losses.

Now they support the artillery squadron to the front-line troops to fight, and the only full-staffed Ono Squadron conducts detour operations.

There are only more than 500 people guarding Eguchi Hachiro's headquarters.

Of course, among the more than 500 troops, there is a machine gun squadron.

Lao Li was going to hit the headquarters here and eat it in one bite.

But at this time, a messenger hurried over.

"Regimental Commander, there is a squadron of the Japanese army, about 200 troops, advancing towards us."

"It seems that they intend to make a detour from the flank and attack the flank position of the 358 regiment!"

After the messenger came over, he hurriedly reported.

"Hey hey, it would be a pity if you don't eat the fat that is brought to your mouth."

"Da Biao, change the battle plan, first eat the little devils who are turning around, and then go to attack their headquarters."

"Pass down the order, make a quick decision, and end the battle in the shortest possible time. This is just an appetizer!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong quickly took out his shell gun and issued a combat order.

Ohno Squadron made a flanking turn, but they ran into the guns of the Xinyi regiment.

At this time, in the position of the 358th regiment, Shao Zuo Hengshan commanded the troops to quickly advance in depth.

It's just that he overlooked one point, that is, on the high ground, there are many heavy weapons!
Even if the high ground stationed by the first battalion was hit, some heavy weapons were destroyed.

In any case, the Japanese army would never have thought that the first battalion was a strengthened battalion, and it had the strength and weapons of a regiment!
What's more, according to the information provided by the Artillery Observation Post, Chen Ziyun decisively dispatched Sun Xiong's second platoon to shift positions and prepare for direct fire.

"The Jinsui army is really vulnerable!"

"I've said it a long time ago, you don't need such sophisticated weapons to deal with them."

"As long as we hit the helmet with a wooden stick, we can easily scare them away!"

Shao Zuo Hengshan commanded the troops to advance quickly, he said with a contemptuous expression on his face.

But he didn't know that Chu Yunfei, the colonel of the 358 regiment, was personally in charge of the second line of defense.

At present, the positions of the 358 regiment are deployed according to the front weight of the weapons and the weight of the soldiers.

Here in the second-line position, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion have assembled thousands of troops.

These troops are fully equipped with dozens of Jin-made light machine guns, hundreds of Jin-made submachine guns and shell guns, and hundreds of Jin-made six-five rifles.

When it comes to the weapons and equipment of the Jinsui Army, there is absolutely nothing to say, light machine guns and submachine guns are equipped to the squad.

This alone is enough for them to show amazing firepower in defensive battles.

"The group seat has established contact with various ministries, and the chief of staff has also arrived at the high ground of the first battalion to supervise the battle."

"All ministries are ready for combat and can launch intensive firepower strikes against the Japanese troops penetrating deep at any time."

Not long after, the messenger from the regiment headquarters rushed over and reported directly to Chu Yunfei.

"Convey, don't shoot without authorization, follow my orders to fight!"

"This time, let the little devil know how powerful our 358 regiment is!"

Chu Yunfei said with a serious expression on his face while holding a Jin-made shell gun.

At this time, there are two high grounds on the left and right, in addition to dealing with the feint attack of the Inoue brigade in the front.

They also mobilized their firepower one after another, preparing to attack the Hengshan Brigade from the flanks.

In the First Battalion and the Second Company of the Artillery Battalion, Chu Yunfei dispatched Chief of Staff Fang Ligong to supervise the battle.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong knew that now was the critical moment of the battle, and they couldn't sit still in the rear, so they came to the front line to supervise and command the battle.
