Chapter 814 Decisive Battle ([-])

The sound of guns rumbled and gunfire poured down like a torrential rain, without stopping even for a minute.Such a fierce and dense fire coverage caused the devils of the 1th Cavalry Wing to suffer a heavy blow.Captain Izumo, after his horse was blown off his leg by a mortar and he fell over and chewed mud, was surprised why no one was solicitous to help him. He glanced around, only to find out in horror that the three men under his command There are more than a thousand soldiers, but now there are only more than 25 left.

Of the more than 1000 people, more than [-] were wounded and were supporting each other and retreating out of the range screaming in fear, and some of them were frightened, or they saw the opportunity and stopped the horse's feet in time to avoid rushing. Into the hail of bullets.

On the opposite side, seeing thousands of devils fell in front of the formation, and only a few unlucky ones on his side were hit by stray bullets, Fu Changjiang became uncontrollably excited, and he murmured: "Throw away his mother, earn money!" Oh, this time I really made money, I made a lot of money! These devils are so stupid, I have seen them die, but I have never seen them die like this."

The guard next to him, Lin Dahai, laughed when he heard the words. Amidst the gunshots like popping beans, he shouted loudly: "Tuan, how can our group be called a hero this time?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, this battle is not difficult!"

Colonel Izumo is not here, otherwise he would be so angry that he would lift his legs when he heard this.

The officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment fought happily, but the sequelae also came. However, the bullets carried by the officers and soldiers who were responsible for the first round of defensive tasks were almost exhausted in just a quarter of an hour.Many people only realized this when they were habitually touching their bodies with only half bullets left in their guns, which then caused a small panic.

On the issue of how to scientifically manage the use of ammunition, the cadet army also has a special system, which stipulates that grassroots officers must report to their superiors when there is only one-third of the ammunition prepared by the unit.However, the Japanese army rushed too fiercely. Although many platoon leaders and squad leaders had this concept in their hearts, they couldn't get away at all, which caused this situation.

The situation was reported to Fu Changjiang, and he was now glad that his original choice was correct. If he hadn't kept the reserve team, then the whole regiment would have to face the problem of insufficient ammunition. As for whether he could kill more Devil, this is unknown.

After a quarter of an hour of continuous high-speed charge, the Japanese army finally retreated. On the battlefield, only some unowned horses were left lingering around their dead masters, and the sound of guns in the fortifications of the township office finally stopped.

This raid came and went quickly, but the result was that Colonel Izumo seemed to be a different person after that—not to mention whether he could survive the next battle, even if he could If he survives, then what awaits him is also a trial by a military court.Although this battle was not over yet, his end was already predictable, which made him naturally start to worry.As for the instigators, Hebian Zhengsan and Bu Qichunshu, the former has not received the order and is leading a large force to turn in, but the latter did not speak for a long time after getting the news, and sighed for a long time: God Amaterasu, have you already Don't you care about your people?

"Brothers, cheer up, the battle has just begun, the big army of the little devils has not yet come up, this battle still has to be fought!" After the battle temporarily stopped, Fu Changjiang turned around to cheer up the soldiers .Behind him, the officers and soldiers of the reserve team were holding bullets and distributing them to the soldiers who were short of ammunition, and they carried the wounded down, and they took the position of the wounded themselves.

"If all the little devils play like this, we can last for at least two hours. Of course, the premise is that everyone has to change the rapid fire to burst fire." Fu Changjiang was sitting on the ground discussing with the three battalion commanders, and Zheng Dayu, the staff officer in charge of the lookout post, ran away. Come over and shout: "Tuan Zuo, the little devil's reinforcements are here, this time they are all infantry."

The 4th Cavalry Brigade has a total of three regiments, of which the 3rd regiment is in charge of the rear, and the 26th regiment suffered a lot of losses when attacking Lin Gang, so it was the turn of the 25th regiment to attack Yanrui.The cavalry was once the pride of the Japanese army, but now it seems that cavalry tactics are outdated.Immediately behind the 25th Cavalry Regiment was the 5th Infantry Regiment under the jurisdiction of the 6th Infantry Brigade, led by Major General Ichiro Katayama, who rode a tall horse at the forefront of the team. At a distance of about a thousand meters from the position of the township office, he met the surviving devils of the 25th Cavalry Regiment. He felt very strange and asked, "Has it been defeated? Where is your regiment leader?"

The convoy stopped, and Izumo walked out of the crowd with the support of a soldier. He lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, I'm so sorry, we failed."

"What? Isn't Yanrui only a small army of Chinese people?"

"It is true that there are not many Chinese people, but their firepower is quite fierce. I wanted to go down with a drum, but the troops suffered heavy losses and could no longer move."

Katayama looked at the cavalry around him, knowing the size of the 25th Cavalry Regiment, his face immediately changed, and he asked: "The loss is serious, what do you mean, there are only so few people left in the 25th Regiment?"

"Hay!"

"Bage! How could this be? Do the Chinese have artillery support?"

"No."

"Have chariots?"

"nor?"

"Bastard!" Katayama couldn't take it anymore, with a wave of his right hand, a bright red line was pulled out from the face of Izumo and the ghost who supported him.After thinking for a while, he asked, "Did you underestimate the enemy and rush forward, and got caught in an ambush?"

"No, we charged directly, but the firepower of the Chinese people is too fierce. Your Excellency, if possible, I think with the cooperation of tank troops..."

"Don't talk about it, chariot? We came from Hangzhou, and there was no fuel supply along the way. Should we use people to push the chariot forward? Take me to the front to see!"

"Hay!"

Izumo carefully brought Katayama to the front of the position. Seeing the scene in front of him, Katayama was stunned—the scene was so tragic, more than a thousand imperial troops fell in a mess in a pool of blood, and some ownerless horses were being killed by their masters. There were neighing and pawing on the ground.He couldn't help asking again: "Are you sure there is only one regiment of Chinese troops on the opposite side?"

"Hayi! Your Excellency, this is absolutely true," Colonel Izumo finished speaking and lowered his head.

Frowning, Katayama picked up the binoculars and looked towards the fortifications of the township office. He saw the black muzzles protruding from the brick wall behind the sandbags. Among them were more than fifty machine gun muzzles.He looked at the position before the fortification again, and finally understood why the 25th Cavalry Regiment suffered such a massacre.

"It's really stupid. This Buqi Chunshu, he actually ordered the troops to charge under such circumstances. Well, what's the difference between that and death? If the 6th Wing were to fight, it would probably be very difficult without artillery support. Difficult to fight." He was thinking like this, and then looked through the binoculars to the left and right sides - the frontal attack is not good, he wondered if he could open the situation from both sides, otherwise, even if Yanrui could be captured, the loss would exceed the allowable amount of.And if the damage in Yanrui is too great, even if it can rendezvous with the 13th Division, it will not be able to cope with the attack of the Chinese.

Yanrui, Baiyun, and Lin Gang formed a triangular position. Among them, the road facing Lin Gang was blocked by three bunkers early on. In addition, the road between Yanrui and Lin Gang was not spacious, so the Japanese army I will choose to start from the middle of Lin Gang and Baiyun, and I will actually take a road from Baiyun to Yanrui.Katayama checked for a while, then shook his head helplessly.It is impossible to attack from the southwest, but from the southeast?There was a swamp not far away, and they were not very familiar with the terrain, and they were most afraid of this kind of terrain.Because if non-combat attrition is caused, the impact on morale is secondary, and there is no way to write it in the battle report.There is only a strong attack, then a strong attack is fine!Who did our Great Japanese Imperial Army fear?What's more, I also carried twelve field cannons. With these twelve field cannons, I believe that I will be able to destroy the strong fortifications of the Chinese troops in advance.

Fu Changjiang got the report, and immediately lay down on the shooting hole and looked towards the opposite side with a telescope.What he is most worried about now is whether the Japanese have artillery units to help out.After watching for a few minutes, he didn't find any movement from the Japanese, and his heart gradually tightened—there were only two possibilities for the Japanese to delay attacking. One was because they were frightened by the previous attack on the cavalry , Another possibility is that it is waiting for the artillery to prepare for fire.

"Quick, tell everyone to be vigilant, the little devil may have artillery!"

"Yes!" The correspondent picked up the microphone and began to contact each company headquarters. Soon, this tactical order was conveyed to every soldier.

"Woo--" What Fu Changjiang was most worried about finally happened. With the sound of shells tearing the air in the sky, the Japanese army began to fire.

"Lie down!" "Quickly enter the artillery pit!"

The geological conditions in the area of ​​Yanrui are special. If you don’t use wood to fix the anti-blasting hole, you won’t be able to dig deep at all. Therefore, when preparing, the 3rd regiment can only dig the anti-blasting hole as deep as possible.

The Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Third Army has a regiment of self-propelled artillery, including four 150mm heavy artillery. However, in order to rush to Yushan as soon as possible and cut off the connection between the Japanese army and Shangrao in Yushan, their artillery regiment stayed behind. It was given to the military department and incorporated into the artillery directly under the army.Without artillery to suppress Japanese artillery fire, the 3rd regiment could only adopt passive defense to minimize casualties.After a 5-minute artillery attack, Fu Changjiang counted the number of casualties and found that although the casualties were not large, the damage to the fortifications was particularly serious. Among them, the section facing the main road that was under the care of the Japanese army was almost destroyed. For flat ground.

After the artillery fire stopped, the Japanese army immediately launched an offensive. Seeing the densely packed devils approaching in an orderly manner with [-] caps, Fu Changjiang was in a hurry. He picked up the walkie-talkie and called the brigade headquarters. No matter who answered the call, he was just a He shouted vigorously: "Where are the reinforcements? Where are our reinforcements?"

It was Zhang Laishun who answered the phone. He could understand Fu Changjiang's mood at the moment, and all he could do was tell the truth: "Mr. Li has led his troops to rush there, please try your best to persevere!"

"But we don't have much ammunition. We want to persevere, but there is no ammunition and artillery support. Do you let the brothers use big knives to kill the devils who are several times my size?!"

Zhang Laishun stopped talking. According to the information he had, the Second Xue Army had indeed set off, but whether they could arrive before Yanrui was lost was not something he could decide——
