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

Chapter 23 Broken, Lao Li is in Danger

The 358rd Wing of the Japanese Army attacked the position of the [-]th Regiment in an attempt to annihilate it in order to avenge the severe damage to the Shanpao Squadron and the destruction of the Wing Headquarters.

It's just that when the battle progressed to one o'clock in the afternoon, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.

The Hengshan Brigade, which broke into the second-line position, was stubbornly blocked by the second-line position.

Chu Yunfei personally commanded, and the artillery unit fully assisted in the battle. The Hengshan Brigade was hit by firepower on three sides, and the number of casualties continued to increase.

It's just that Shao Zuo Hengshan was not willing to give up the attack like this. He asked the troops to stand still and wait for the flank troops to rush to help.

However, the Ono Squadron he was waiting for was ambushed by the Xinyi Regiment, and they were currently engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Xinyi Regiment.

The new regiment is an elite unit led by Lao Li, and their overall combat effectiveness is not bad.

Especially Zhang Dabiao's first battalion will not suffer at all in hand-to-hand combat.

As for the Inoue Brigade, after discovering that there is still strong firepower on the high ground, and constantly launching flanking firepower to attack the Hengshan Brigade.

Major Inoue ordered all ministries to step up their attacks. He prepared to break through quickly, seize the high ground, and assist the Hengshan Brigade in combat.

Four rapid-fire guns and four infantry guns fired one after another for cover.

The four infantry squadrons pushed forward with all their strength and continued to attack the high ground.

The positions on the left and the right were on high ground, and they began to be violently attacked by the Japanese army.

But Chu Yunfei was already prepared. He immediately mobilized the fourth battalion of the reserve team, quickly made a detour from the flank, attacked the Inoue brigade, and supported the whole regiment to fight.

Chen Ziyun commanded the two mountain cannons in Li Yang's row to move, and they came to the preset artillery position.

Now Chen Ziyun is going to command two mountain cannons to attack the little devil artillery unit with all his strength to assist the defense of the high ground.

The two mountain cannons of the Second Company of the Artillery Battalion and Sun Xiong's two mountain cannons continued to support the second line of defensive positions.

At around two o'clock, Chen Ziyun commanded a platoon to start shelling!

Armor-piercing grenades were fired one after another.

A Japanese Type [-] infantry artillery was destroyed on the spot.

Five minutes later, Chen Ziyun seized the opportunity again and directly destroyed a rapid-fire gun.

The Japanese artillery unit lost two artillery pieces one after another, and they became cautious.

The remaining six artillery pieces did not dare to blatantly carry out support operations.

They temporarily took cover and did not continue the shelling.

The four squadrons of the Inoue Brigade lost artillery cover and could not pose a major threat to the high ground.

In particular, the Fourth Battalion appeared from the flanks. After attacking it, the Inoue Battalion was under pressure, and it was even more difficult to concentrate on attacking the high ground.

There was no frontal pressure on the highland side, and they began to deploy more firepower to shoot from the flanks, killing and injuring the soldiers of the Hengshan Brigade.

Chu Yunfei got reports from all sides, so he directly mobilized troops and began to try to countercharge.

At the same time, he ordered the Fourth Battalion to launch a fierce attack, directly repelling the Inoue Brigade, thus cutting off the rear of the Hengshan Brigade.

Now, Chu Yunfei was going to eat up the Hengshan brigade that broke into the second line of defense in one bite!

As for Chen Ziyun, at two o'clock, he commanded two mountain cannons to continue firing, destroying an infantry cannon again.

At this time, there were only two infantry guns and three rapid-fire guns left in the Japanese artillery unit.

The situation on the battlefield changed dramatically in an instant. The 358th regiment, which had been hit successively before and suffered casualties, gradually took the initiative in combat!

And the various ministries continued to shoot and kill the Japanese army, and morale became high.

Of course, Chen Ziyun was not very happy at this time, and the reason was very simple.

That is a row of two mountain cannons, hundreds of shells have been fired one after another, and there are not many remaining shells.

If Chu Yunfei hadn't ordered the artillery battalion to transport the stored shells of the large luggage team, I'm afraid there would be no shells in the row now.

"Company commander, there are still four rounds of armor-piercing grenades, and thirty rounds of grenades."

"The other two mountain cannons fired one after another and continued to fight. The overheating of the artillery had a great impact on accuracy."

"At present, I have arranged for the troops to quickly cool down..."

Li Yang, the leader of the platoon, quickly came to Chen Ziyu, and hurriedly saluted and reported.

Chen Ziyun picked up the microphone at this time and was talking with Zhou Wenbo of the Artillery Observation Station.

After hearing Li Yang's report, he nodded.

"There are eight flanks engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the little devil?"

"The little devils who are attacking from the front are gradually retreating and gathering?"

"Is there any Japanese troops in the rear to attack?"

Zhou Wenbo quickly reported what he observed.

Chen Ziyun's face was serious, and he immediately opened the artillery combat map to check.

After the Battle of Cangyun Ridge, the Eighth Route troops withdrew from the battlefield one after another.

Now that the Eighth Route Army was fighting against the flanking Japanese army, Chen Ziyun thought about it, and immediately thought of Li Yunlong's new regiment!
In the original play, the new regiment broke through the encirclement head-on, and suffered heavy casualties, and Li Yunlong was also dismissed.

But because of his own appearance, Li Yunlong's new regiment did not break through the encirclement head-on.

This means that Li Yunlong will not be dismissed, and the new regiment will not suffer too much loss.

According to Li Yunlong's personality, it is entirely possible for him to bring the troops back to continue fighting without authorization.

However, the Inoue Brigade retreated from the front, and the Japanese Army Command sent troops to help, which made Chen Ziyun a little puzzled.

The Inoue Brigade retreated, and the 358th Battalion of the [-]th Regiment was able to block the back of the Hengshan Brigade in an instant. This Hengshan Brigade was about to become a turtle in the urn!
The Japanese army wants to completely abandon the Hengshan Brigade and let the 358 regiment encircle and wipe it out?
Obviously impossible!

"It's broken, Lao Li is in danger! First platoon leader, dismantle the mountain cannon immediately!"

"Zhou Wenbo, you Artillery Observation Station, pay close attention to the little devil's whereabouts!"

"Communication Corps, keep in touch with the company headquarters and the artillery observation post."

As Chen Ziyun pondered, his face was full of solemn expression.

He quickly judged what the Japanese army was thinking, these little devils were going to run to Li Yunlong's new regiment!

Li Yang, the platoon leader, began to return to the army and quickly dismantled the mountain cannon.

Some gunners accidentally touched the hot barrel and couldn't help making painful noises.

But even if he was scalded, the order still had to be carried out.

The two mountain cannons began to be disassembled into parts, and the pack horses and mules of the transport team began to transport away.

At this time, the Inoue Brigade was out of the firing range of the artillery of the 358th regiment, and they quickly assembled.

The first machine gun squadron dispatched by Hachiro Eguchi has eight heavy machine guns rushing to help.

Major Inoue commanded four infantry squadrons, equipped with eight heavy machine guns, three rapid-fire guns, and two infantry guns, and quickly advanced towards the flanks.

These more than 700 little devils quickly advanced towards the Xinyi Regiment, ready to rush to help the Ohno Squadron.

This is a combat order issued by Eguchi Hachiro, and the Hengshan Brigade will stick to it with all its strength to contain the 358th regiment.

The Inoue Brigade was reinforced with heavy machine guns and artillery, and rushed to assist the Ono Squadron in combat.

They have to cooperate with the Ono Squadron to quickly wipe out the new regiment.

Then they immediately interspersed from the flanks and cooperated with the Hengshan Brigade to annihilate the 358 regiment!
