The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Chapter 180 Intercepting the Little Devil

With a decision in mind, Naozaburo Okabe immediately said to the Chief of Staff of the Mengsui Army next to him: "Immediately send a report to Takamori and order the First Cavalry Brigade to retreat in the direction of Guisui."

The little devil's chief of staff next to him didn't react for a long time, and retreated. His own commander actually gave the order to retreat. The little devil's chief of staff stood there motionless, with a dazed and disbelieving expression on his face.After a long time, when he saw Naozaburo Okabe's angry eyes, the little devil's chief of staff shuddered, immediately stood at attention, bowed his head in salute, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, I'm going to convey the order, just In this way, the retreat of the First Cavalry Brigade will affect our morale and damage the honor of the imperial army."

Seeing that his chief of staff still had objections, Naozaburo Okabe was on the verge of eruption, and shouted angrily: "Baga, do you want a cavalry brigade to confront Zhang Yunfei's tens of thousands of troops head-on? Do you want the imperial army to suffer losses?"

Seeing Naozaburo Okabe furious, the little devil's chief of staff immediately turned around to convey the order. [

After the little devil's chief of staff went out, Naozaburo Okabe also went to the confidential room next to him. Naozaburo Okabe decided to draft a telegram himself, asking for help from Ningji Okamura of the North China Front Army, requesting the planes of the North China Front Army to bomb Zhang Yunfei. armor group.

Naozaburo Okabe believed that Zhang Yunfei's tanks and armored vehicles were moving around on the vast Mongolian grasslands, and the anti-aircraft firepower must be very weak, which was just right for sending planes to bomb.As long as Zhang Yunfei's tanks and armored vehicles are blown up, the first cavalry brigade in Jining will retreat smoothly.

In addition, Naozaburo Okabe has been the chief of staff of Neiji Okamura for many years, and he has a little friendship with Neiji Okamura. This time, for the benefit of the empire, Neiji Okamura will definitely send planes to support him.

If the air force of the North China Front Army can successfully blow up Zhang Yunfei's armor this time, it will be ashamed and elated. Therefore, Neiji Okamura should send the air force this time.

Sure enough, upon receiving the telegram from Okabe Naozaburo, Okamura Neiji also felt that this opportunity was rare, and immediately sent a dozen bombers and several fighter jets to fly in the direction of Jining.

No.30 Sixth Army, temporary headquarters in front of the enemy.

Chu, Wu, and Sun have received the latest instructions from Zhang Yunfei, and they will divide their troops into two groups to attack the [-]st Brigade of Little Devils in Jining. The Sixth Division followed up, and it was Sun Chuanzhi's cavalry division that attacked from the west.

The main task of the cavalry division is to cut off the escape route of the little devil to the west. The vanguard of the cavalry division is the mechanized infantry regiment, and behind the mechanized infantry regiment are three mighty cavalry regiments.

The No.30 Sixth Group and the two armies advanced extremely smoothly, and did not encounter any resistance from the little devils on the way. This abnormal situation immediately attracted the attention of Chu, Wu, and Sun, and they immediately reported the situation to the Zhang Yunfei is far away in Datong.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei received the telegram, his first reaction was to think that the little devil wanted to escape, so Zhang Yunfei showed the telegram to everyone, and then said: "Comrades, what do you think of the abnormal situation of the little devil's First Cavalry Brigade?" ?”

The left chief of staff next to him frowned, thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Commander-in-chief, I think the little devil wants to retreat."

Deng Wenping, the director of the political department next to him, also nodded in agreement. Their guesses coincided with Zhang Yunfei's.

Since the little devil wants to escape, the first thing to find out is which direction the little devil's first cavalry brigade is escaping from. Only when he knows the direction of the little devil's escape can he intercept it.The Mongolian grassland is too vast, and the little devil's cavalry is very mobile. If you don't know the direction, there is really no way to intercept it.

So, Zhang Yunfei said to a correspondent next to him: "Get me the flight team immediately, I want to talk to Gao Zhihang."

The correspondent immediately connected to the flight brigade and handed the phone to Zhang Yunfei respectfully. Zhang Yunfei took the phone and said seriously: "I am Zhang Yunfei, and I will send some planes to the Jining area immediately." Scouting, the first brigade of cavalry of the little devil wants to escape, you must scout the direction and route of the little devil's escape as soon as possible."

After receiving a call from Zhang Yunfei, Gao Zhihang was extremely happy, and immediately said happily into the microphone: "Chief, I will personally fly the plane to investigate and promise to complete the investigation mission."

In less than 10 minutes, a small transport plane and three fighter jets took off at Datong Airport and flew north.This small transport plane is a reconnaissance plane that has been simply modified. It is equipped with radio stations, observation equipment, etc., including camera equipment.

Three fighter jets were escorting, Gao Zhihang personally piloted one of the fighter jets, the four planes kept in good formation, and within half an hour, they flew over the Jining area. At an altitude of several thousand meters, due to the clear weather, , there are very few clouds, and the situation in the Jining area can be clearly seen in a radius of tens of kilometers. [

In the west of Jining, the little devil's brigade was divided into several groups and was galloping westward. With so many little devil cavalry galloping, even Gao Zhihang who was on the plane could clearly see the dust they raised.

Seeing the little devil's whereabouts, Gao Zhihang immediately reported the situation to Zhang Yunfei continuously. According to Gao Zhihang's report, Zhang Yunfei immediately marked the little devil's location and escape direction on the map.

With the accurate escape route of the little devil, it is possible to intercept and encircle and annihilate, and it is difficult for the little devil's cavalry brigade to fly with wings.

The cavalry division, the first armored regiment of the armored division, and the sixth infantry division near Jining immediately adjusted their pursuit routes.The cavalry division chased to the northwest in several ways. The two battalions of the mechanized infantry regiment took advantage of their speed and took the lead all the way. Behind, a large number of cavalry, not to be outdone, rode their horses and followed far behind.

The mechanized infantry regiment, taking advantage of the speed of the off-road vehicle, galloped [-] kilometers in less than half an hour, and finally saw the fleeing little devil cavalry in the distance.

But at this time, the soldiers of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment were not in a hurry to kill the little devils, but wanted to take advantage of their speed, run to the front of the little devils, intercept the little devils, and slow down the escape speed of the little devils' cavalry, so as to pave the way for the cavalry behind. The peloton wins time.

Fortunately, the little devil's cavalry only cared about fleeing for their lives, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes covered up the surrounding sounds, so they didn't even notice the large number of off-road vehicles and armored personnel carriers two kilometers away.

After another three or ten minutes, the mechanized infantry regiment had already run several kilometers in front of the little devil's cavalry. Commander Pan made a decisive decision and immediately ordered the soldiers to form a battle formation to intercept the little devil's front.

More than 100 off-road vehicles and dozens of armored personnel carriers lined up to form a line of defense of one or two kilometers, completely sealing off the escape route of the little devil to the west. If the little devil wants to break through this line of defense, he can only use The corpses are piled up.

At this time, the little devil running in the front finally found a large number of off-road vehicles and armored personnel carriers ahead, and the little devil cavalry reined in their horses one after another and stopped running.

Running in the front is the second cavalry regiment of the little devil. This cavalry regiment has more than 2000 people. More than 2000 cavalry soldiers are watching the soldiers on the opposite side from a distance, waiting for the order of their regiment leader.

The leader of the little devil also saw the situation ahead, and found that the situation was not good. He asked the communications soldier to report the situation to his brigade commander Takamori Takamori, while slowly raising the saber in his hand, Prepare for a massive attack to overwhelm the opposing squadron.

"Kill it..." The captain of the little devil finally gave the order to attack, and shouted as hard as he could.

More than 2000 little devil cavalry, like a torrent, all raised their sabers, shouted, and rushed towards the squadron on the opposite side. The charge of 30 people was very spectacular.Unfortunately, what they encountered was the No.[-] Sixth Army, all equipped with automatic weapons.

Seeing the little devils cavalry galloping ahead, the soldiers were very calm and composed. The soldiers on the off-road vehicles all pointed their AK-47 rifles at the little devils in front. Some soldiers in the armored personnel carrier had already dismounted. The car, using the armored personnel carrier as a cover, also aimed its gun at the little devil in front, and the soldiers who were still in the armored personnel carrier opened their shooting holes and aimed at the little devil's cavalry.

The 30mm cannon on the off-road vehicle, the 30mm cannon on the armored vehicle, and the black muzzle were all aimed at the little devil in front.

The little devil cavalry is getting closer, 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters. . .

"Fight", Pan Guoxing, the head of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment, shouted, pulled the trigger first, pointed an AK-47 rifle at the little devil cavalry, and shot himself.

The rest of the soldiers, when they heard the gunshots, immediately started shooting, and the 30mm cannons on the off-road vehicles and armored vehicles also started shooting, with the unique "sudden, sudden, sudden..." The sound of shooting is very pleasant. More than 1000 AK-47 rifles and nearly two hundred 30mm machine guns, shooting together, brought a terrible nightmare to the little devil.

The little devil cavalry running in front, like cutting wheat, fell in pieces in pieces. The screams of the little devil, the neighing and mourning of the horse merged into one group, and the ground was immediately filled with the blood of the little devil and the horse. The corpse, on the grass, was immediately stained red with blood.

The 100 meters in front of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment became an impassable area. The 100 meters in front of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment was clean, and the area ranging from 100 meters to 400 meters was full of broken corpses of little devils.

Many little devils were killed by 30mm machine guns. None of the little devils hit by 30mm machine guns were completed by corpses. Some were even beaten into two pieces, and some were shot by several 30mm machine guns When the cannon hit, the little devil who was hit was directly smashed into pieces. [

Gao Zhihang, who was circling in the sky to investigate, saw the spectacular battle scene below, and felt that his eyes were opened, and his blood boiled with excitement.
