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

Chapter 92 Annihilation of the Ishikawa Brigade
Dazzling red flares were launched into the air, and the artillery observation team immediately communicated the shooting data.

Four Jin orogenic cannons deployed on the south side of Qingshan Town, two Jin orogenic cannons deployed on the west side, and two Japanese mortars launched shelling one after another.

A mountain gun is installed to set the scale and determine the division.

After aiming, the loader begins to load the grenade, and then immediately starts firing.

Because these six mountain guns have detailed shooting parameter tables, they don't need to test fire at all.

The shells were fired one after another, and the six Jin orogenic cannons took the lead in launching the blocking bombardment.

A large number of shells fell in front of the evacuated Japanese troops on the east side. With the sound of the explosion, the shrapnel quickly spread around.

The little devils who left the bunker were hit one after another, and the painful wailing sounded instantly.

Soon, the stumps of broken arms began to fly along the dust, and then fell heavily on the ground.

The smell of blood filled the air, and pieces of gunpowder smoke rose into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, six mountain cannons and two mortars launched an annihilation bombardment.

A large number of shells continued to fall on the Japanese army, and the second squadron was hit by eight artillery pieces, causing heavy casualties.

The Captain of the Second Squadron hid in a bomb crater, looking pale at the corpses of his subordinates on the ground.

At this moment, they are in a dilemma and can only hide in place.

The lieutenant squadron leader was full of remorse. After all, if they continued to stay on the east side, even if they encountered shelling, they would still be protected by bunkers.

But now they are simply live targets for the artillerymen. Once a shell hits, at least a few little devils will pay casualties.

"They... why are their artillery so powerful!"

"You can hit the target accurately without a test shot."

"It's over, our brigade, I'm afraid it will be completely annihilated."

As his troops continued to be shelled, casualties gradually exceeded 100, the captain of the second squadron captain said with despair.

The fierce battle in Qingshan Town continued, but at this time the Ishikawa Brigade was obviously in a passive situation.

The No. [-] Squadron stationed on the west side was completely annihilated at [-]:[-], and the No. [-] Squadron stationed on the east side encountered heavy shelling when it evacuated.

The Second Squadron suffered heavy casualties, and Chen Ziyun naturally would not miss the opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

The second battalion, the first company, and the second company; supplemented the first company and the second company, and pieced together a team of 400 people, and launched an encirclement and annihilation operation against it from all sides.

The current combat strength of the Second Squadron is only dozens of people. Faced with the attack of such a large number of troops, it is only a matter of time before they are completely wiped out.

In the town, more than [-] people from the Fourth Squadron, Transport Squadron, and Infantry Artillery Squadron under the command of Major Ishikawa continued to choose to stick to it.

Chen Ziyun's strategy against the Japanese army's persistence, he directly chose to make a frontal breakthrough.

The guard company, the artillery company, and the machine gun company of the second battalion quickly assembled, and Chen Ziyun directly commanded the battle.

Six mountain cannons, two mortars, and eight heavy machine guns covered, and the guard company continued to serve as the main attack.

This time Chen Ziyun put a bayonet on the artillery and continued to provide close support.

The second battalion and the third company, and the fourth company were deployed on the periphery to prevent the Japanese army from taking the opportunity to break out.

The artillerymen began to shoot out all the few remaining shells, and the guard company troops alternately covered and advanced.

As the little devil's four infantry guns were firmly suppressed, the guard company equipped with automatic weapons made great progress.

The fighting lasted until one o'clock in the morning, and the troops of both sides had already started street fighting.

It was at this time that the Second Squadron of the eastern position was completely annihilated.

"Four infantry companies and two supplementary companies dispatched elite commandos to quickly enter the town to fight."

"All the ministries launched a fierce attack, and the battle must be completed before three o'clock in the morning!"

"The other troops rested in place and built a defensive position to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from rushing to their aid."

"Battalion Commander Wu, send a reconnaissance force to expand the search and alert area."

With a serious expression on Chen Ziyun's face, he immediately issued a combat order.

Six companies formed six commandos, each commando has about three to 40 people.

As more than 200 people entered the town to participate in the battle, the pressure on the little devil's troops increased sharply.

At around 01:30, Major Ishikawa sent a telegram directly to the headquarters of the First Army.

This is the farewell message from the Ishikawa Battalion. At this time, their remaining combat strength is less than 100.

Moreover, the Japanese army began to destroy its own heavy weapons to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Jinsui Army troops.

As the messages were sent, the radios began to be destroyed.

Major Ishikawa drew out his saber and led the troops to launch the final attack.

It's just that in the face of a guard company equipped with a large number of submachine guns and shell guns, the last counterattack of this little devil will not have the slightest meaning.

At two o'clock, Major Ishikawa was shot dead directly.

He was discovered by a machine gun shooter from the rifle platoon of the guard company. The shooter controlled the Jin-made light machine gun and fired a swarm of bullets.

Major Ishikawa's chest was completely smashed into a sieve, and he fell directly into a pool of blood.

After Captain Shaozuo was killed, the remaining little devils would naturally not cause any disturbances.

By 02:30, the last dozen little devils were killed one after another. So far, the Ishikawa Brigade was completely wiped out.

Chen Ziyun immediately ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time dispatched signal troops to contact the nearby Eighth Route Army immediately.

After finishing the Ishikawa Brigade, Chen Ziyun's ammunition for this attack was almost exhausted.

So Chen Ziyun prepared to clean up the battlefield, and quickly withdrew to the 358 regiment station.

After all, if the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops encircled them at this time, they would not have enough ammunition, which would be fatal.

And continue to fight, among other things, there are more than 100 wounded.

These more than 100 wounded must not be discarded, they also need to be carried.

At this time, in the area of ​​Wanjia Town, the Fujita Brigade and the 15th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army quickly advanced towards Qingshan Town.

However, they were directly blocked by the Xinyi regiment commanded by Li Yunlong, and the Xinyi regiment adopted guerrilla warfare to attack.

An infantry cannon and four heavy machine guns continued to fire and harass, and two infantry companies attacked in a surreptitious manner.

The advance speed of the Japanese and puppet troops was slow, and Major Fujita's face was livid with anger.

In particular, Major Ishikawa kept sending urgent calls, and he was even more anxious.

After that, Major Fujita sent a unit to deal with the new regiment, and the main force advanced rapidly.

But not long after advancing, they were attacked by the New Second Regiment.

So until now, this Japanese puppet army has never been able to come to Qingshan Town for support.

After Li Yunlong and Ding Wei got in touch, the two joint operations made it even more difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to move forward.

At 02:30 in the morning, Major Fujita received a message from the First Army Command.

"Retreat, quickly withdraw to Wanjia Town!"

After knowing that the Ishikawa Brigade had sent a farewell message, Major Fujita immediately issued an order to retreat.

Without any hesitation, the Japanese and puppet troops retreated decisively towards Wanjia Town.
