Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Compared with the No.12 division's formation before the attack, Jiang Shan, the commander of the third division of the independent column in Zhuozi City, looked at the main regiment leaders under him, and said with the same serious expression: "Comrades, the most difficult The time has come!"

In a short sentence, the heads of the delegation who participated in the meeting felt that the atmosphere suddenly became more dignified.In fact, most of the troops responsible for blocking the No.12 Division were Zhuozi's garrison troops.

Except for the blocking battle in the first battle, which was in charge of the third regiment, the main force of the other three divisions built fortifications in the rear.Now the entire vicinity of Zhuozi City has become a large-scale blocking battlefield, and this will also become a meat grinder.

Regarding the serious expressions of the main regiment leaders under him, Jiang Shan continued: "According to the commander's order, our third division will stay here for at least a week. In fact, as long as we stick to it, the little devils won't be able to last a week at all.

Now the Second Cavalry Division has detoured to the back of the Japanese division.It can be said that after the little devils enter Zhuozi, unless the little devils use planes to provide them with supplies.Otherwise, they will not get any supplies from the rear.

I think the commander of the little devil must know about this situation.They want to break this stalemate, only to end the battle with us as soon as possible.The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for them.

Their people need food, their tanks and armored vehicles need oil, and their heavy artillery needs shells.Even if they brought a lot of supplies, they also consumed a lot during this time.

During this period of time, our rear blocking troops also let go of one or two small devils' material transportation troops from time to time.But most of the materials transported are food.The shells and fuel were basically seized or destroyed by us.

Now the troops dispatched by the column to eastern Jidong have launched the Eastern Jidong Campaign.Most of the reserve troops that the North China Front Army can mobilize are now mobilized by us.It can be said that the little devils are unable to send troops to support the Kwantung Army we are dealing with in a short period of time.

After going down, tell our soldiers that even if our three divisions are wiped out, the little devil's division must be dragged to Zhuozi.I want to let the little devils know that it will not be so easy for them to escape even if they want to go to Lao Tzu's territory. "

Thinking of the military order made with He Zhengdao, Jiang Shan was also very clear.Compared with the first division, the second division, and even the fourth division, the third division is the only main division that has not experienced bloody battles.This made him feel that it was necessary to show the combat effectiveness of the third division.

Practice for battle, this is the training slogan that the independent column has always emphasized.Now that He Zhengdao entrusted such a task to their three divisions, Jiang Shan would not give up easily even if the battle lasted until one soldier died.

'Please rest assured, commander, as long as there is one soldier in our regiment, we will never let the little devil break through our position.Commander, please give an order! '

As the most elite regiment of the three divisions, they were naturally in charge of the frontal blocking positions that suffered the most from the Japanese attack.It can be said that the little devil chose three directions to break through, and the three divisions all deployed a main force to defend.

As for the troops stationed in Zhuozi City, in addition to the troops directly under the division, there is also the main regiment serving as the reserve force.In terms of strength alone, the number of troops under the command of the third division at this moment will not be much less than the No. 12 division that is attacking.

However, the gap between the weapons and equipment of the two troops is indeed not small.Even if the third division is equipped with a mountain artillery battalion and a field artillery battalion, the caliber of the artillery is much smaller than that of the little devil's heavy artillery brigade, both in range and caliber.

Just when the main groups expressed their determination, Jiang Shan smiled and said at the end of the meeting: "You don't have to make such an expression of death, we also have strong support this time. Commander, you won't let us put The three masters fought all over.

Next, there will be a reconnaissance battalion sent by the reconnaissance brigade to cooperate with the defensive operations on the blockade positions that your three regiments are in charge of.Those little devil tanks that you can't chew, will be handed over to them to deal with.

Except for the little devil's heavy artillery, we are temporarily unable to fight back.I can tell you a piece of news, that is, the little devil's tank and armored vehicle will become our live target this time.At that time, I will see how many tanks the little devil has to die.

What you have to do is to avoid the bombardment of the little devils and prevent the infantry who stopped the little devils from breaking through your blocking positions.If you can't even do this well, then go to the cooking class and take the big pot! "

Upon hearing this, several regiment leaders immediately said happily: "Master, the reconnaissance brigade is here too?"

'coming!However, they don't come much.The commander sent them here to help us deal with the tank threat from the little devils.Of course, they will cooperate with you in defense when they are on the ground.

I don't need to say more, you should all know how strong the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance brigade is.Sending a reconnaissance battalion to strengthen your defenses is equivalent to sending you a main regiment of reinforcements.So don't be too nervous, understand? '

'Yes, sir! '

Both sides held pre-war military meetings one after another, and each returned to the troops for final deployment.The two armies that formed a confrontation seem to have a tacit understanding to obtain a quiet night before the war.

Until the next morning, seeing the sound of artillery fire breaking the silence in the distance, the officers and soldiers of the third division stationed in the position knew that the little devil was about to launch an attack.Next, it is still unknown who will win the deer!

But anyone can imagine that today's battle will be a bloody battle.Whether it is the attacking Japanese army or the defensive Eighth Route Army.They will all start bloody battles around Zhuo Zi's outer blocking positions.

And the confident Japanese tank soldiers didn't know that they would usher in a day of real nightmare today.The advance launch of the rocket launcher will also tell these Japanese troops that the tanks they are proud of are vulnerable! (To be continued.)

Chapter 2 Zhuozi’s Defense Battle [-]

At the front of the blocking position of the Third Independent Division, the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles had been assembled on standby, and the sound of rumbling engines was drowned out in the sound of fierce artillery fire.The Eighth Route Army soldiers on the ground also gritted their teeth and endured the baptism of heavy artillery.

The Japanese army started such a fierce attack at dawn, and the Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers on the ground knew that after the artillery fire subsided, there would be a massive Japanese attack.This means that the brutal position defense battle will start.

Considering the minefields encountered by the No.12 Infantry Brigade before, when the Japanese heavy artillery launched artillery strikes, even the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army were blown up.The sound of land mines detonating from time to time proved that their guess was correct.

The infantry cooperating with the tank troops, looking at the smoky blocking position ahead, also felt that such a scene looked very comfortable.For them who are responsible for the offensive breakthrough task, the more unlucky the Eighth Route Army is, the happier they are.

On the other hand, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who hid in the anti-aircraft holes, watching the falling earth and rocks, also knew that the heavy artillery was raging on their positions.But they who built strong anti-gun holes in advance don't have to worry about the holes being blown down.

In addition to these artillery potholes, in order to build the fortifications of these blocking positions, the independent column transported a lot of cement and steel bars some time ago.Coupled with the superimposition of earth and rocks, even if the heavy artillery hits it, there is no need to worry about the potholes not being able to withstand it enough.

'Damn, don't you need money for the little devil's shells?This fight, why is it endless! '

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hiding in the potholes, listening to the shelling that had been resounding on the position for nearly half an hour, also felt that their ears were a little deafened.But in this case, they naturally dare not get out of the pothole.

The soldier squatting next to him smiled and said: "I guess the little devils want to solve the battle once and for all! I don't know, when I make them feel ashamed later, I think these little devils will go crazy again. Seeing those people behind their backs Is it a big long tube?"

'See?What's wrong? '

'I heard from the company commander, wait for the little devil's tank, we don't need to deal with it.Those with long iron barrels on their backs were all members of the column reconnaissance brigade, and the commander personally sent them to our division to support us in the battle.It is estimated that it must be some new weapon.

I really envy the guys in the reconnaissance brigade. Whatever good weapons the column has, they are all equipped in advance.If they can deal with the little devil's tank, the next blocking battle will be much easier to fight! '

Even in He Zhengdao's view, most of the tanks that the little devil is equipped with now are Douding series tanks.But for the fighters of the blocking force, their rifles and machine guns are powerless in the face of this kind of tank.

Take the blocking battle conducted by the three regiments on the border of Zhuozi. Facing the assault of the little devil's tank, all they can do is to ambush the blasters in advance, hide in trenches or bomb craters, and hold the explosive pack when the little devil comes over. Detonate.

In doing so, the chances of success are not high.After all, the infantry who cover the attack of the tanks will not let people easily blow up the tanks that also provide them with cover.It also sometimes becomes difficult for the Demoman to detonate the charges.

Listening to the sound of explosions coming from outside the pit, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the pit were also chatting among each other.There are also some soldiers, wiping the weapons in their hands, waiting for the order to rush out of the pit at any time, and attack the little devils in the assault position.

As the half-hour shelling ended, the Japanese artillery began to extend its firepower, and the tanks that had been launched also began to move forward slowly.But at this moment, piercing whistles soon came from the pothole.

'Out, out, out!Hurry up to the battlefield, hurry up to repair the fortifications, and prepare for battle! '

The squad platoon leaders in charge commanded their respective troops and entered the trenches they were in charge of previously.Seeing the collapsed fortifications, the soldiers who sneaked into the trenches quickly picked up the shovel and began to repair the fortifications.

During this process, the attacking Japanese tanks began to shell the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army.Although it was only a tank gun with a small caliber, it still made the Eighth Route Army on the ground have to carefully avoid these shells.

Fortunately, the trenches on the position were dug deep enough, as long as the shells did not fall into the trenches, there was no need to worry about being hit by exploding shrapnel.There are a lot of tanks that can attack, and there are always shells that can directly hit the soldiers in the trenches.

Looking at the soldiers hit by shells, some died on the spot, while others were hit by shrapnel.From time to time, in the trenches of the position, loud shouts sounded: "Hygienist! Hygienist, over here! Two people, hold his wound."

For these soldiers who were hit, the squad platoon leader commanding on the spot seemed very distressed.After all, as long as there are casualties, these fighters will withdraw from the battle.This also means that they will have combat attrition before they take part in the battle.

What surprised the attacking little devils was that the minefield laid by the Eighth Route Army this time seemed bigger than they had imagined.When a tank had just entered a distance of one kilometer, it unfortunately encountered an anti-tank mine laid by the Eighth Route Army.

'boom! '

There was an explosion, and the tracks of the Japanese tank quickly broke.The driver in the tank was also blown dizzy by the violent shock wave.Several of the infantry following the tank were also hit by shrapnel.

The tank soldier who got out of the tank looked at the broken track of the tank and said angrily, "Baga! Damn, they even have anti-tank mines. It must be the Soviets who provided them with this technology!"

As tank soldiers of the Kwantung Army, they always felt that the only opponent they could call was the Soviet Far East Army.This is the first time they have come into contact with anti-tank mines like this in the Chinese battlefield.

In addition to anti-tank mines, tanks detonated anti-personnel mines from time to time, which made the little devil infantry who followed the tanks feel terrified.From their point of view, the Eighth Route Army's deployment of such a large minefield in the forward position is a bit insane!

Even if they knew that there were a lot of mines in front of them, but they had already launched an attack, they could only bite the bullet and rush up the position.The Eighth Route Army on the ground was under the attack of the little devil's tank guns, and the little devil was under the blow of landmines.

In this way, the two sides have not yet engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and the casualties of each other seem to be the same.Looking at the lying tanks, the Japanese commanders who directed the battle in the rear also felt a little annoyed.
