Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Before the veteran could finish speaking, a string of flames and roars appeared in the night sky ahead.In such a situation, the veterans of the reconnaissance battalion couldn't help but say: "Grandma, you little devil is so wicked! If you fire so quickly, you won't be afraid to kill their own people!"

While talking, the veterans quickly retracted their guns and bent over to lean against the inside of the trench, while urging the soldiers of the garrison regiment around them to hide in the trench as well.If you continue to lie on the trench, you may be injured or injured by shells.

After a series of explosions sounded, many soldiers who did not escape in time soon became victims of this wave of shells.At this time, the veteran also said in a timely manner: "Hurry up, retreat into the artillery hole. If it's too late, hide in the ear hole!"

In these trenches, the veterans of the reconnaissance battalion who dug the fortifications also dug some cat ear holes for people to hide.Although this kind of cat ear hole is not as safe as the anti-gun pothole, it is also a life-saving emergency refuge.

Seeing some soldiers on the battlefield who were unable to evade in time were killed and injured, Zhu Xinwen, who cooperated with the reconnaissance battalion commander in directing the battle, couldn't help cursing: "The commander of the little devil is really ruthless! The life and death of his own people Never mind!"

On the contrary, the reconnaissance battalion commander said calmly: "The commander of the little devil dares to be so cruel, he must know the front of the blocking position, and the attacking troops he sent may not have much left.

If there is no surprise attack, their shelling will definitely not have much effect.Now ordering a retreat like this and immediately carrying out shelling can also cause certain casualties to the troops on our position.

Let the reserve troops be ready to respond, and at the same time let our medical team be ready for emergency rescue and escorting the wounded back to the city.Originally, I wanted to fight for a while and withdraw, but now they are playing hard, let's see who can beat the other! "

For the reconnaissance battalion commander, he knew very well that the sudden shelling by the little devil would not cause too many casualties to the veterans of the reconnaissance battalion.Those veterans have rich combat experience and know how to guard against such sudden shelling.

In contrast, the ones who were really likely to suffer heavy casualties were undoubtedly the soldiers of the third garrison regiment who cooperated with them in blocking.Most of these soldiers have no actual combat experience, and the sudden shelling may make them even more fearful.

There are reasons for the saying that "new recruits are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of machine guns".For this reason, the most likely casualties for this sudden shelling by the little devil are undoubtedly the recruits of the garrison regiment! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although the little devil's shelling was very insidious, it also caused considerable losses to the reconnaissance battalion and the third garrison regiment on the blocking position.Fortunately, the fortifications built earlier are complete, and there are experienced veterans like the reconnaissance battalion.

Under the guidance of the veterans of the reconnaissance battalion, the flustered recruits of the garrison regiment finally retreated safely into the artillery pit.As for those who were injured or killed in action, they were also moved to a safe area for inclusion and convergence.

Just as the Japanese army was preparing for the second round of attack, the heavy mortars that the reconnaissance battalion had not used earlier finally showed their faces at this time.Before the Japanese army set up an offensive camp, the reconnaissance camp came with an artillery assault.

Seeing the attacking troops dodging under the shellfire, Major General Sakai of the Infantry Brigade also gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "Baga! They even have an artillery unit, which has been hiding for a moment of counterattack. It's so insidious. opponent!"

Facing Major General Sakai's anger, the staff officers who stayed beside him felt that what they had done before was actually similar.Since the two armies are enemies and must fight to the death, it is natural to use whatever trick works.

The infantry attack just organized was completely extinguished by the artillery fire from the reconnaissance battalion.The Japanese artillery units, who thought they could rest for a while, could only carry out artillery counterattacks again in the end to provide support for the attacking infantry.

As the artillery units of the Japanese army opened fire, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army also quickly subsided.Just when the Japanese army felt that they had successfully destroyed the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army and organized another infantry attack, the nightmare was repeated again.

'idiot!Why do the enemies still have so many artillery pieces? '

If the Japanese army could see the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army at this moment, they should know why their previous counterattack failed to destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.It's really not easy to destroy this kind of artillery position arranged on a reverse slope!

This also means that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army may not be able to reach the artillery positions of the Japanese army, but there is no problem at all in blocking the front of the offensive position.This means that if the Japanese army wants to organize an attack, it must use their lives to fill it.

Looking at the Japanese attacking infantry struggling under the artillery fire, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion showed a happy smile and said: "Mother, don't think that you can bombard our blocking positions at will if we don't bring the heavy artillery.

If you can't beat your artillery, then I will pick your infantry to bomb.I would like to see if you have prepared more shells, or if I have more shells in reserve.If the shells are finished, I will send people back to the city to pull them.consume you! "

Listening to the reconnaissance battalion commander's words, Zhu Xinwen finally understood that the artillery position arranged by the reconnaissance battalion earlier had such a magical side.When the Japanese artillery counterattacked earlier, the shells basically flew away.

Many shells seemed to hit the artillery positions of the reconnaissance battalion, but they had actually flown to the foot of the mountain.However, the artillery position of the reconnaissance battalion placed on the mountainside ended the shelling without any attack.

The two rounds of shelling failed to achieve any effect, and a Japanese staff officer said: "General, the artillery positions set up by the Eight Routes should be on the other side of their blocking positions. Our artillery fire cannot reach their artillery positions at all.

In this case, if we want to destroy their artillery positions, we can only attack by detours.If we continue to use artillery to counterattack, we will only waste our precious shells. "

Sakai quickly reacted to what the combat staff officer said, and the Eighth Route Army set up artillery positions on the reverse slope.To arrange such artillery positions, some special terrain is also required.Now it seems that there are not many good solutions.

Just when Sakai was annoyed that this would only increase the casualties of the attacking troops.A telegram from the division made Sakai say with a surprised expression: "Hey! The main force of the Eighth Route Army has arrived in Zhengzhou City?"

This telegram just forwarded by the No.14 Division was an urgent telegram sent to Doihara by the Japanese Special High School.The above content is also very simple, that is, the Eighth Route Army has at least one main regiment stationed in Zhengzhou City at nightfall.

Doihara, who received this telegram, quickly realized that the fighter plane to capture Zhengzhou City had disappeared.Immediately ask someone to forward the telegram to the infantry brigade, and also ask them how the situation is at the moment.

If the attack has not yet started, you can start to retreat at night and rush to Zhongmou territory to join the main force of the division.Of course, when retreating, a certain blocking force should also be deployed to prevent the Eighth Route Army from chasing after that time.

It's just that Sakai, who received the telegram, felt like crying. If the telegram had been sent earlier, maybe he wouldn't have lost so many infantry.Several times of infantry attacks caused his infantry brigade to lose thousands of soldiers again!

In addition to the casualties of the soldiers, the shells pulled from the division were also consumed a lot in several shellings.If this telegram had been received earlier, perhaps these people and these shells would not have been buried in vain.

Feeling helpless and frustrated, Sakai still quickly said: "Call the division commander back and say that our department will find an appropriate time to retreat. Try to join the main force of the division before noon tomorrow."

After replying to the division's telegram order, Sakai continued: "Order the artillery unit. Except for the infantry artillery squadron, the rest of the artillery units will end the battle and prepare to retreat. The infantry will start immediately and end the large-scale attack. .

Send an infantry brigade to cooperate with the infantry artillery squadron to attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army in the form of squadron skirmishers.The rest of the infantry units immediately allocated their camps to pack up and prepare to retreat in the direction of Zhongmou. "

Even though his heart is bitter and depressed, Sakai still knows that it is better for this kind of battle to end as soon as possible.With such a difficult opponent, if they continue to entangle, they will become very dangerous without follow-up reinforcements.

Following Sakai's order, the artillery unit in the rear quickly moved into action, and the artillery that had been erected with great effort was re-folded on the trailer and prepared to be pulled away.Naturally, all the remaining shells will be loaded into the truck and taken away.

Only infantry artillery squadrons, because their artillery is lighter, it is easier to move.Therefore, as an artillery unit that attracts the Eight Routes, it bombards the Eight Routes blocking positions in front from time to time, so as to contain the defenders on the positions.

As for the withdrawn infantry, after collecting the corpses of the casualties, they also planned to drag them all to the rear for cremation.If they were cremated here, their precious evacuation time would undoubtedly be wasted.

As for the wounded, the treatment they enjoyed was naturally better.Those vacated cars will also be used to transport them to rear hospitals or cities for treatment.Faced with this halfway attack, no one felt unwilling.

In fact, these two days of fighting have already let the soldiers of the infantry brigade know that the Eighth Route Army they are fighting against is really difficult to deal with.Most importantly, the current overall situation is very unfavorable to them.

If they continue to attack Zhengzhou City, perhaps they may be surrounded again.During the last Xuzhou battle, they had such a situation once, and they managed to escape.

But this time, they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army rising in the north.Whether it will be as lucky as last time is really unknown.The long battle has actually caused many Japanese veterans to feel war-weary.

Especially seeing the two days of fighting, the casualties were all from their side. On the other hand, on the side of the Eighth Route Army, they didn't have any face-to-face most of the time.Such a battle also made many Japanese soldiers feel aggrieved and helpless.

Now that the order to retreat is issued, they all naturally want to return to the rear to rest earlier.Staying with the main force of the division, I believe it will make them feel safer.If here, who knows what attacks will be encountered?

The reconnaissance team, which had been monitoring the movement of the Japanese army, suddenly became lively when they saw the Japanese army's rear camp, which was supposed to be quiet.Many cars also started to load supplies, and they felt that the situation was not good.

Soon someone said: "Hurry up and report to the battalion commander, it looks like the little devil is about to run away!"

Although I don't understand why the Japanese army suddenly chose to retreat at night.But they all knew that if the little devil wanted to leave, he couldn't let them go happily. "If the enemy is tired, we will attack, if the enemy retreats, we will pursue" is also their principle of combat!

After receiving the news from the reconnaissance team, the reconnaissance battalion commander was also surprised and said: "Why did you suddenly withdraw at this time? Could it be that they think they can't attack our position and choose to retreat? Is there another conspiracy?"

Zhu Xinwen, who stayed aside, thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the news that our main force has arrived has leaked?"

From Zhu Xinwen's point of view, the little devil who had been aggressively attacking before suddenly chose to retreat secretly, which made people feel a little confused.But talking about a conspiracy doesn't seem to make sense.

After all, as long as the little devils don't enter Zhengzhou City, their mission will be considered complete.The little devils who were fighting now retreated, which can only show that they fought very tenaciously, and finally made the little devils retreat.

But Zhu Xinwen knew a little about the resilience of the little devil.It seems that it is not an easy thing to make the little devil suffer a disadvantage.But when he retreated suddenly at this time, he could only guess in the general direction.

'do not care!Order the forward reconnaissance unit to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army.Look at the little devil, is he playing a conspiracy, or is he really planning to retreat.Report this situation to the brigade commander immediately.Ask for instructions on the next combat mission! '

When the reconnaissance battalion fed back the information to Li Xiangdong, Li Xiangdong, as the brigade commander, had already received the No. 14 division and divided his troops overnight in Zhongmou territory.One of the infantry brigades has rushed to Kaifeng for defense.

In connection with what happened in Zhongmu, Li Xiangdong can basically confirm that the Japanese infantry brigade who arrived outside Zhengzhou City should have known that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had entered the city.In this case, they have already missed the opportunity to seize Zhengzhou!
