Chapter 11 Restoration of Xin'an County
Outside Xin'an County, Zhang Yunfei's 719th Regiment has completed combat preparations, and all battalions and companies have entered the predetermined attack position.
The 12 Type 92 infantry cannons of the artillery battalion have been adjusted to shoot the world, and the black hole muzzle is diagonally pointed to the Japanese position on the east side of Xin'an County...
The task of the artillery battalion today is to shell the Japanese positions for half an hour, and 2,000 shells were fired within half an hour. Seeing so many shells being fired out, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion Wang Daquan was really heartbroken. This is one-fourth of all the shells of the artillery battalion. This time the artillery battalion only brought less than 3,000 rounds. After this round of artillery, there were only a few hundred shells in his hand. Although there were still thousands of shells in the battalion warehouse, the artillery shells were fired at one round and one less.
As the signal flare dragged its long tail and swayed to the sky, Wang Daquan issued an order to fire the cannon. For a moment, 12 Type 92 infantry cannons roared.
The Japanese defensive position, the Chief of Staff had just conveyed the order of Captain Ozawa, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd infantry squadrons had just entered the defensive position. The Japanese were setting up machine guns and placing ammunition. Suddenly, a signal flare was seen on the opposite Eighth Route Army position, dragging a dazzling white light into the sky. Then, a low muffled sound came from the positions opposite the Eighth Route Army, and a sharp roar was heard, flying towards his position.
The experienced Japanese soldiers shouted in their hearts when they saw this scene, they said, "No, it was the Chinese army's artillery bombardment, and the 92 infantry cannon they were familiar with. The inexperienced Japanese soldiers were still watching the whistling shells stupidly.
In less than a few seconds, there were violent explosions on the Japanese defensive positions, and the Japanese who had no time to react were immediately blown into pieces.
Before he could come, he was anxious to return to the chief of staff of the Japanese brigade headquarters. Seeing this scene, he was completely disgusted. The Chinese army on the opposite side was so hateful that he did not attack the imperial army.
In fact, making full use of artillery advantages is a good way to deal with the Japanese recently. In later generations, the US military relied on the advantages of artillery to launch a cannon, and then charge the infantry and tanks. This is the easiest way and the most effective and quickest way to defeat the opponent.
Considering that this battle cannot last and must be decided quickly, Zhang Yunfei adopted the US military's combat method.
At the same time, the special forces members of the Japanese command center were also ready for combat. More than 30 special forces members sneaked into Xin'an County two hours ago. Everyone had already found a hiding and fighting position. Now more than 30 special forces members are ambushing around the command center, and the Japanese are still unaware of it.
Seeing the signal flare rising outside, the Thomson submachine gun in the hand of the special forces captain Guo Wencheng sounded first, and the two Japanese devils who appeared in their sight fell down.
In less than a few seconds, the Japanese command center heard the "da, da, da" sounds unique to Thomson's submachine guns one after another. The Japanese command center was actually more than 30 people in the Japanese brigade and more than 110 transportation squadrons directly under the brigade, so the total strength of the command center was less than 150 people, and some were non-combatants.
With the Japanese who had less than 150 people fighting with more than 30 special forces, the result is conceivable.
Hearing the dense sound of submachine guns outside, Taro Ozawa was a little panicked. His four infantry squadrons were all outside the city. Where did this damn well-equipped Chinese unit come out? With such powerful combat power, as soon as the fire was exchanged, more than 20 brave warriors from the Great Japanese Empire dedicated their lives to His Majesty the Emperor.
On the one hand, Taro Ozawa narrowed the defense circle and strengthened the defense; on the other hand, he immediately asked the communications troops to send a message to the 4th Infantry Squadron and asked them to return to the aid immediately. As long as the 4th Army Squadron receives a telegram, he can return to the aid command center in 10 minutes.
Outside the city, artillery bombardment was ongoing. The Japanese defensive positions, which were only one thousand meters long and less than a few dozen meters wide, were completely covered by artillery fire from the artillery battalion, and the Japanese defensive positions were blown out of recognition.
Not long after the Japanese 4th Infantry Squadron received a telegram from Taro Ozawa. When the Japanese squadron leader saw that the command center was attacked, he immediately gathered the troops and quickly returned to the command center.
....................................................................................
Datong, the command center of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the Japanese division, Moon Kishikawa Saburo looked at the telegram in his hand and looked solemn. Half an hour ago, the Ozawa Brigade stationed in Xin'an County sent a telegram saying that the Ozawa Brigade was besieged by about 2,000 main forces of the Eighth Route Army. The Ozawa Brigade was relying on favorable terrain and resisting step by step, and requesting the division headquarters to send troops to reinforce.
Although Saburo Fumikikiwakawa did not visit the front line in person, he also knew that Xin'an County was not conducive to defense. The infantry brigade of more than 1,100 people was besieged by more than 2,000 people, which would have been a failure.
Not long after, Saburo Fukishikawa ordered the division's cavalry corps and Yoshino corps to quickly reinforce Xin'an Prefecture.
Similarly, the ** regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army also received an order from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, which ordered the ** regiment to block the enemy's reinforcements and block the enemy for 24 hours.
The commander of the ** regiment, Xie Baoguo, looked at the combat map and used a pencil and a ruler to carefully transform lines. The chief of staff next to him knew that the regiment commander was working on the map and must be choosing the right place to block the enemy.
After a long time, Xie Baoguo pointed to the Heifeng Gorge more than 100 kilometers east of Datong: "We chose Heifeng Gorge to block the attack. Heifeng Gorge is the only way for the Japanese. The terrain here is dangerous and it is most suitable for ambushing."
The Chief of Staff looked at Heifeng Gorge carefully and measured the distance with a ruler. It was only more than 30 kilometers away from Heifeng Gorge, while the ghost was indeed more than 100 kilometers away from Heifeng Gorge. The troops would definitely be able to arrive at Heifeng Gorge before the Japanese.
....................................................................................................
In Xin'an County, the war has entered a white-hot stage.
20 minutes ago, the 4th Infantry Squadron, which was returned to the rescue, had joined more than 100 people in the Japanese command center, and they were currently suppressed by special forces members in the Japanese command center.
After nearly 20 minutes of battle, half of the Japanese were killed or injured, and the remaining more than 100 Japanese were huddled in the command center and were fighting stubbornly. If reinforcements did not arrive, it would only be a matter of time before the Japanese were wiped out.
Zhang Yunfei looked at the front position of the Eighth Route Army in Xin'an County. He looked at his watch and the artillery battalion's artillery battalion had been ongoing for almost half an hour. The Japanese on the opposite side had been plowed several times by artillery fire. According to his own observation, more than half of the Japanese on the opposite side had been killed or injured.
After watching the shelling effect for a while, Zhang Yunfei said to deputy regiment commander Liu Dazhu: "Order the troops to prepare for attack, the whole regiment charges, and rushed over and wiped out the Japanese on the opposite side for me."
When the deputy regiment commander Liu Dazhu heard Zhang Yunfei's order, he excitedly asked the correspondents to convey the order. Just now, at the forefront of the position, Liu Dazhu saw the violent artillery bombardment of the artillery battalion, which made the Japanese on the opposite side fly everywhere. It was so satisfying, but after more than ten minutes, the gunshots of the artillery battalion showed no sign of stopping. More than half of the Japanese on the opposite side were killed or injured, so there was no need to waste the shells anymore.
If I were the regiment commander, I would have asked the troops to charge, so I rushed over and thrust the remaining Japanese on the other side. So when I heard the regiment commander say that I was ordering the troops to charge, I was the most happy that Liu Dazhu was. After being an audience for so long, it was finally my turn to Liu.
In fact, Zhang Yunfei has his own considerations for the continued shelling for so long. Although the 719th Regiment currently has nearly 3,000 small people, very well-equipped and well-trained, it is an indisputable fact.
According to my observation just now, many new recruits still seemed very nervous. Some were tightly tense, while some of their hands holding guns had their hands too much force for a long time, and the joints between their fingers began to turn white. If the Japanese opposite were not completely defeated, with these new recruits who had not been baptized by blood and fire, the casualties would definitely be huge.
In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, it is worth wasting some shells, so only 10 minutes of shelling was shot, Zhang Yunfei ordered the artillery battalion to shell for 30 minutes.
As soon as the shelling ended, a loud charge sounded on the Eighth Route Army's positions, and then a tide-like shouting broke out. More than 2,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers formed a gray ocean, instantly submerging the Japanese positions opposite.
When the soldiers rushed to the Japanese position, they found that there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere on the position. More than 600 Japanese infantry squadrons survived the shelling, and most of these half of the ghosts were more or less injured.
The Eighth Route Army only encountered sporadic resistance on the Japanese positions. The 719th Regiment had only a dozen casualties, and they wiped out three Japanese infantry squadrons at the cost of more than a dozen casualties.
Hearing the tide of shouting outside, Taro Ozawa, who was huddling in the command center, knew that the Japanese outside must have been annihilated by the Eighth Route Army. Looking at the only 100 remaining people around him, Taro Ozawa looked miserable and knew that he must be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor today.
Taro Ozawa said to the communications soldier in despair: "Send a farewell message to the division commander quickly. All the warriors of the Ozawa brigade are broken together and will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."
When the Japanese Japanese correspondent soldier heard his captain say this, he was full of despair and ran to send a message.
