Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

The Eighth Route Army soldiers on the ground continued to listen to the shelling of the little devils outside, and began to wait for the time to get out of the pit again.Looking at the shells falling from the sky, the yellow smoke suddenly emitted, and the observation post immediately realized something.

'Attention please!The little devil used poison gas bombs, tied his cuffs and trouser legs tightly, covered his mouth and nose with towels and urine, and lay down on his body to prevent inhalation of poison gas.If you have a gas mask, put it on quickly. '

It's just that the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade who came to support them were actually equipped with gas masks.As an elite unit of the independent column, every soldier in the reconnaissance brigade was also issued the captured little devil gas masks.

As for the other Eighth Route Army soldiers, they were equally angry when they heard that the little devil fired gas bombs again.But they all know that the little devil is like this.In order to win, they will do whatever they can, and it is normal to use gas bombs to attack.

Even though the smell of the towel soaked in urine was too bad, many soldiers still acted quickly without thinking.Looking at the yellow smoke permeating the position, the headquarters at the rear also looked very worried.

'Damn it, the little devil really used gas bombs again!These little devils are really insane! '

When Suiyuan was taken back last time, the independent column had dealt with the little devil's gas bombs.They are very clear about the plight of those fighters who inhaled poison gas.It can be said that soldiers who inhale poisonous gas are often worse than death!

Fortunately, the gas bombs currently used by the little devil are not as powerful as imagined.What's more, at this moment, there is a drizzle in the sky, and the wind that blows from time to time can also blow away the poisonous gas permeating the position.

At this time, the soldiers at the observation post in front soon heard that the little devil infantry began to attack again.When there were still a small number of tanks covering, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade in the pit took the lead in rushing into the pit.

And when he left, he said with concern: "You guys hide in the cave for a while, and come out after the poisonous gas on the battlefield dissipates a bit. We have gas masks, and we can still resist it. Remember, don't come out in a hurry!"

Listening to the words of these reconnaissance brigade officers and soldiers, I used to envy the reconnaissance brigade officers and soldiers of the third division whose equipment is much better than theirs. I also feel that these reconnaissance brigade soldiers also bear much higher risks on the battlefield than they do.

After all, getting into the blocking position filled with poisonous gas, even if equipped with a gas mask, is still somewhat risky.But these reconnaissance brigade officers and soldiers who cooperated with them rushed out without hesitation.

Perhaps this is the embodiment of what He Zhengdao said before, the more elite you are, the more arduous combat tasks you have to undertake! (To be continued.)

Chapter 400 It's our turn to fight back!

(ps: Today’s fifth update, I’m asking for a monthly pass! There are only less than two hours left in the next month, if you have a monthly pass, hurry up and sell it! Mosquito thank you all! Also please qualified book friends, genuine subscription to support it! I really can't afford the pirated version!)

Without air fire support, the tank armor, which was originally a killer weapon, is powerless. ..., the only heavy artillery unit that can do it, even if it blows up the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions several times back and forth, the Eighth Route Army in the position is still strong.

It even made the attacking Japanese troops feel very helpless.After all the special ammunition they carried, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the ground still seemed to have not decreased.The attacking troops vaguely saw that someone was wearing a gas mask on the ground.

When such a situation spread to the command headquarters of Yamamura Kiyotaro, the head of the division also felt bitter and unspeakable.He didn't understand why the Eighth Route Army, which had always been regarded as the Eighth Route Army, was so difficult to deal with.

At this moment, thinking of the reminders of Sugiyama Moto and Itagaki Seishiro, Yamamura Kiyotaro finally realized.The Eighth Route Army in front of them is constantly growing and encroaching on their occupied areas. It is really possible to become their confidant.

Seeing Shuzo who came to the headquarters in person and asked to suspend the attack, Seitaro Yamamura could only say: "Order the troops to suspend the attack today. Send a telegram to the rear to transport the troops and let them hurry up to deliver ammunition to us."

As the brigade commander of one of the two infantry brigades of the No.12 Division, Hidezo Hitomi finally realized that his entire infantry brigade would be wiped out if he continued to fight. .

If the brigade is wiped out, even if there is a chance to rebuild the No.12 Infantry Brigade, the combat effectiveness of this brigade will be greatly damaged.In this case, he had to come to the headquarters to ask for instructions in person, hoping to suspend the troops' offensive.

In fact, I heard Hidezo Hitomi say that most of the two infantry regiments under his command currently have less than one infantry battalion surviving.The rest either died in battle or were sent to the division's field hospital for treatment.

But the current situation is that the field hospitals operating with the divisions are already overloaded and full.In addition to the fact that medicines have become unavailable, the entire field hospital is full of wounded soldiers.

On the other hand, on the ground of the Eighth Route Army at this moment, even the officers and soldiers still have a firm will to fight.But at the moment, the rear hospital in Zhuozi City is also full of wounded soldiers.Some even were urgently transferred to Guisui City for treatment.

Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred!

Many of the main regiments on the three blocking positions suffered more than half of the casualties.Fortunately, there are garrison troops to cooperate with a reconnaissance battalion, so that their backbone is still there.At least it can be done, and the combat effectiveness of the troops can still be guaranteed after the expansion.

Looking at the battle damage reports sent by the three main regiments, the division commander Jiang Shan also said bitterly: "This should be the battle with the most casualties since the establishment of our column. I don't know how the commander will feel when he sees this battle report. !"

'Master, this is also impossible!After all, the little devil has heavy artillery, and some tanks use gas bombs.Although our troops suffered a lot of casualties, according to the feedback from the frontline troops, the little devil infantry is almost wiped out. '

'yes!Hopefully next, we can start preparing for a counterattack.Damn, no matter what this time, the Kwantung Army division of the little devil must be wiped out.I want to use their weapons to rearm our Third Division. '

Hearing Jiang Shan's words, the chief of staff of the third division smiled and said, "Master, your plan may be a little difficult. At least we don't have to think about the heavy artillery of the little devil. As for tanks and armored vehicles, do you think the commander will give us?

Only this time, in order to cooperate with other combat troops, we paid such a high price to stop the little devils.I believe that the commander will also give us some compensation, at least in the selection of recruits, we will definitely get the priority to recruit qualifications. "

'well!yes!The commander must be keeping an eye on the equipment of this division of the little devil!No matter what, I hope this battle is over and the commander can give us some benefits.Otherwise, we will really lose a lot in this battle! '

Compared with the Japanese army's inability to fight anymore, reinforcements must be added to continue fighting.The third division also knows that there are still many troops in the Japanese division.But I am afraid that there are not many troops that can really be used for infantry attacks.

As for those car soldiers and supply soldiers, although they can also serve as infantry.But every Japanese commander knows that these soldiers act as infantry on the battlefield, I'm afraid it seems a bit extravagant and wasteful!

It was in consideration of these that when Yamamura Seitaro learned that the No.12 brigade had reached less than two infantry brigades, he could only choose to stop the attack.What's more, their heavy artillery units are running out of shells.

Perhaps Yamamura Seitaro never thought that an infantry brigade would be wiped out before the war.Even if the organizational system of the rest of the division still exists, their loss today is also unprecedented since the formation of the division.

Sending a report to the North China Front Army, hoping that they will dispatch infantry brigades to cooperate in the battle, Yamamura Seitaro asked the No.20 [-]th Infantry Brigade, which marched into the Chahar Middle Banner, how is their progress now.

When the No. 20 Fourth Infantry Brigade sent a call back, informing them that they had still not been able to advance into Wuchuan territory, Seitaro Yamamura said with an equally displeased expression, "It's been such a long time, why haven't they even arrived in Wuchuan?"

In the face of Yamamura Seitaro's questioning, the chief of staff of the division who had previously sent a report also said in a timely manner: "Your Excellency, Division Chief, the 24th Brigade sent a telegram earlier. Their marching route is very difficult, and in some places basically only It can be repaired before leaving.

Most importantly, the Chahar Central Banner is currently under our control.But the troops stationed there couldn't provide much help at all.The only thing that can be done is to restore the damaged principles for our troops.

There, our troops only controlled important areas, and the rest of the rural areas were actually controlled by the Eighth Route Army.The situation in Suiyuan is far more complicated than we imagined before.Division commander, depending on the situation, we are in trouble this time. "

As the chief of staff of the division, he has been paying attention to the surrounding battle situation.Datong's current attack is also very unfavorable.The North China Front Army that attacked Datong also made very slow progress.

And they seemed to have driven straight to Zhuozi City, which was defended by the main force of the Eighth Route Army.But thinking about it now, the chief of staff felt that this might be a conspiracy, a conspiracy to lure the enemy deeper.They are only afraid of rushing in!

Listening to the chief of staff's analysis, Yamamura Seitaro looked at the map hanging in the headquarters, and said with the same serious expression: "Then what do you think we should do next? Shall we abandon the existing achievements and move closer to Datong?"

'I'm afraid not!The troops there may not be able to effectively help us.If we want to retreat right now, we can only retreat to the Chahar area.Even if possible, let the troops stationed there come to support.

In addition, order the No.20 Fourth Brigade to quickly move closer to the main force of the division.Only in this way can we preserve the elite of the division and return to Chahar smoothly.And if you want to withdraw, you must be quick! '

'idiot!The Eighth Route Army is really powerful, can it eat up our division? '

Faced with the plan stated by the Chief of Staff, Seitaro Yamamura still felt somewhat unbelievable.But he vaguely felt that what the chief of staff said was reasonable.Today's divisions look huge, but in reality they don't have much combat effectiveness.

If they don't get effective infantry support, or even supplies of weapons and ammunition, their tanks, armored vehicles and cars may lie down.In addition to food that can last for a while, heavy artillery will also fall into a situation where there is no ammunition available.

Seeing the slightly unwilling expression of Yamamura Seitaro, the chief of staff could only say: "Why don't we first look at the reply telegram from the North China Front Army. If they can send reinforcements, we will defend on the spot and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

If they can't send reinforcements, or even need to dispatch reinforcements from Datong to help us, then we must be prepared to retreat.Not difficult, we might get stuck here, unable to return to our station. "

'Yo breath!Then let's take a look at General Sugiyama Moto's call back first! '

What Seitaro Yamamura did not expect was that after receiving the telegram from the Third Division, He Zhengdao realized that the opportunity to counterattack had appeared.Today, the No.12 division seems to be still huge, but it is still too weak.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao immediately said with sharp eyes: "Order the third division to keep an eye on the movement of the No. 12 division of the Japanese army. Once they show signs of retreating, counterattack them immediately to slow down their retreat.

Order the Fifth Division to encircle the No.20 Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army operating in Chahar Middle Banner.At all costs, this infantry brigade must be stopped and joined with the main force of their division.

Order the second division and the fourth division, once the Japanese troops attack Datong, start to move in the direction of Suiyuan, resolutely block them, and prepare for a counterattack.At the same time, he ordered the reconnaissance troops entering Wulanchabu and Zhangjiakou to start a sabotage war.

At the same time, the temporary quick response division was ordered to immediately advance to the Ulanqab area to attack it.Order the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei military division to immediately launch an attack on Huade and other places.Order a division to immediately occupy Shangdu and Xinghe.

This time, Lao Tzu pulled out all his wealth to fight, and he must eat up this Kwantung Army Division.By the way, tell the special operations team to take advantage of the rainy night these two days to find a way to destroy the little devil's machine gun.

It was they who attacked before, and now it is finally our turn to fight back.This time, I want to let the little devil know that the consequences of annoying our independent column are serious.After this battle is over, I'm afraid there will be no war in the second half of the year! "
