Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 628: Three battles in one night

Between Shexian County and Xiangtangpu, a place unsuitable for an ambush. All the troops in Sun Zhenbang's hands were ambushed here. After defeating Licheng, Sun Zhenbang was not satisfied and targeted the two men who came to reinforce Licheng.

The Japanese troops in the squadron set up a typical pocket formation.{}

After the positions on both sides were opened, the troops blocked the roads in front and behind, and the Japanese army could not escape. Everything was arranged, and they were waiting for the Japanese army to rush to die. After a period of chaos, the night became quiet again, and dark clouds suddenly rose.

, blocked the already dim starlight, and it was impossible to see that thousands of soldiers were ambushing on the bare hills on both sides. In the direction of Licheng, a bright red patch could be seen. This was the death charm, urging the little devil to come to his death.

.

There were rapid and chaotic footsteps on the avenue, as well as whispered curses in Japanese. The muscles of the soldiers tensed up, and the little devil was coming. This time, Sun Zhenbang could have a good time. It was an ambush battle, and he did it himself.

He was armed with a heavy machine gun and held it in a metal hand.

On the textured grip, a long-lost familiar feeling suddenly hit my heart. My heart beat violently for a few times. I cursed myself for being hopeless. As I became an official, I had fewer opportunities to touch the gun. I was eager to face the Japanese army face to face.

It was a pity for him who was fighting so hard.

All the Japanese troops entered the ambush circle. Sun Zhenbang pulled the trigger hard, and a tongue of flame rushed toward the Japanese marching column. This was the signal to start the attack. The calm hillside suddenly boiled, and mortar shells were fired one after another, dragging dark red.

The trajectory of the ballistic missile hit the Japanese army head-on, with flashes of fire and shrapnel flying everywhere.

The Japanese soldiers who were suddenly attacked showed good individual soldier qualities. They lay down on the spot and organized fire suppression. The Type 92 heavy machine gun and crooked light machine gun roared instantly. Under the leadership of the Japanese regiment staff officer

Under the command of the commander, the Japanese soldiers divided into two teams and launched a howling attack on the hillsides on both sides. The greatest threat to themselves was the artillery fire on both sides. They took down the hillsides and eliminated the Chinese artillery.

The idea was good and the command was good, but the opponents they encountered were different. The Japanese soldiers attacking the hillsides on both sides were beaten down the hillside by dense rain of bullets like locusts. The Japanese soldiers responsible for fire support and suppression were heavy and heavy.

The machine gun only had time to finish one magazine before it was blown up by an extremely accurate mortar bomb, sending the machine gun flying into the sky together with it.

The flames of exploding mortar shells occasionally flashed the figures of Japanese soldiers running like dogs, and provided convenience for the light and heavy machine gun shooters to find targets. The Japanese soldiers were unable to raise their heads, and the troops blocking the intersection at both ends were sprayed with bullets.

Call over

, compressing the Japanese army into the middle of the encirclement, the Japanese army's space gradually shrank, the encirclement closed, like an iron barrel, surrounded by dense artillery fire and machine gun bullets, there was no usable terrain around them, and they were in a completely beaten position, and the Japanese army had no way out.

The chief of staff of the wing only had time to report to the headquarters: "Our army was ambushed." A Type 92 infantry artillery shell roared in, and where the fire flashed, a thick smoke rose with tongues of flame. The chief of staff and the radio station,

Together with the radio operators, they became pieces flying all over the sky. The difference in firepower and troop strength was too great. The resistance of the Japanese soldiers was just a futile effort. In less than an hour, the two squadrons of Japanese troops were annihilated around Xiangtangpu.

This ambush battle was more suitable. Only a dozen soldiers were injured. Looking at the craters everywhere and the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, Sun Zhenbang's eyes sparkled and he licked his lips. He still had something to say to Chief of Staff Wang Jun.

: "Chief of Staff, it's not even one o'clock in the morning and it's still early before dawn. Let's do another thing and attack Shexian County."

Wang Jun was startled. The commander was addicted to fighting. The fighting in Xiangtangpu was lively. The Japanese troops in Shexian County must have been prepared. Sneak attacks were useless. How could there be more little Japanese than a large group?

Are we the only ones to attack Shexian County? Our heads are shaking like rattles, and we don’t agree with anything we say.

On the other hand, Bai Lishan was thoughtful, and Sun Zhenbang had his own reasons. The attack on Shexian County was based on the situation. We have so many artillery, and it is not necessary to take down Shexian County. We set up all the artillery and bombarded Shexian County. If the Japanese army

If we go out of the city to attack, we will eat them in the wild. If the Japanese army holds on, we will not suffer any loss. We will withdraw when the attack is over. There are no Japanese troops in front or behind. Shexian County is in an isolated and helpless state. It is not up to us to attack.

Wang Jun was persuaded, and the soldiers who had not yet cleared away the smoke from their bodies, with the joy of victory, attacked Shexian County. The Japanese commander in Shexian County was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Licheng lost contact and reinforcements were sent.

The troops were ambushed. Where did this powerful force appear from and dare to attack the strongly fortified city of Li? He ordered the guarding troops to strengthen their vigilance and reported the situation to the division headquarters. However, he was too embarrassed to ask for reinforcements.

Licheng had to rescue, and the troops who were ambushed had to be reinforced. However, the troops in hand were limited, and there were so many supplies and ammunition. He hesitated whether to send more reinforcements. Suddenly, fierce gunfire came from outside. He was about to

Grabbing the phone, the phone rang rapidly. It was the defenders at the west gate of Shexian County. The city gate was suddenly violently attacked by the Chinese ** team. Judging from the intensity of the attack, it was the main force of the Chinese ** team, with a large number of troops.

artillery.

The Japanese commander almost fainted. The one who could attack Licheng, ambush the reinforcements and then attack Shexian at the same time was not the main force of the squadron, but that one. This regiment was a second-rate unit among the Japanese troops in North China.

It is usually responsible for garrison duties, and its firepower is far inferior to that of a pure field regiment. There is only one mortar squadron in the establishment, not even a heavy artillery piece. No wonder the Japanese regiment leader is so anxious that he goes crazy.

Sun Zhenbang commanded the mortar company and concentrated the bombardment on the city wall. If he could open a gap, the troops would attack. On the solid city wall of Shexian County, smoke pillars rose, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and the city wall was lowered layer by layer. No matter how strong it was,

The city wall couldn't help but be bombarded with concentrated artillery fire. Although the power of the mortar shells was not great, the advantage in quantity and sufficient shells made up for this shortcoming. A hole more than ten meters wide was opened in the city wall.

The Japanese commander transferred all the troops he could mobilize to the west gate to participate in the battle. To block the gap, the mortar squadron was also sent to the west gate direction to suppress the squadron's artillery fire. The Japanese mortars fired rapidly, and a group of shells were black.

Flying over like an old bird,

Sun Zhenbang's artillery position was blazing with fire. More than a dozen gunners were injured and killed, and five mortars were damaged. The eight Type 92 infantry guns that had never been seen immediately captured the target. A burst of shells flew over and destroyed the Japanese mortar position.

It exploded into billowing smoke.

The mortar suffered a disadvantage against the Type 92 infantry gun. First, the range was insufficient, and secondly, the power of the shells was not comparable. After several rounds of artillery battles, the Japanese mortar squadron was almost exhausted.

The artillery shells he fired were only a few rounds and did not pose a threat at all. Just like that, Sun Zhenbang was not going to let him go and ordered the artillery to knock out all the mortars of the little Japanese.

The Japanese mortars finally lost their say. Seeing the opportunity, Sun Zhenbang ordered his troops to attack, occupy the breach, and extend the artillery fire to suppress the firepower of the Japanese defenders. The soldiers of the three companies jumped up and walked along

When the collapsed city wall entered the east gate of Shexian County, the Japanese soldiers were tenacious enough. Even though they were unable to hold their heads up after being bombarded by artillery fire, they refused to retreat. They organized several counterattacks and repeatedly fought for a breakthrough with the troops that broke in.

The troops quickly deployed more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns at the breach, forming a dense fire net. There was no threat from the Japanese artillery. In the dark night, tracer bullets trailed dark red tails, weaving back and forth. At this time, the benefits of firepower superiority were revealed.

The artillery position was moved forward, with eight Type 92 infantry guns specifically designed to block the Japanese follow-up troops and mortar the charging Japanese troops.

Thanks to Bai Lishan pulling so many artillery shells in Licheng, there were enough artillerymen to fire hard. The dense artillery shells blasted out walls of fire on the path of the Japanese counterattack. The bodies of Japanese soldiers flew away as the shells fell.

In mid-air, another one

The company's troops rushed forward and finally firmly occupied the breach. The troops moved along the streets towards the center of Shexian County. The follow-up troops followed the opened channels and poured into Shexian County like a tide. Sun Zhenbang threw all his troops into it.

fought.

Sun Zhenbang is happy, tonight is really a blessing. Three battles in a row were fought extremely smoothly. The attack on Shexian County was just a pass-by move. Unexpectedly, he also broke into the city. He ordered the troops not to rush in.

, fight steadily, it doesn't matter whether She County is occupied or not, the main task is to annihilate the effective forces of the little devils.

The attacking troops were divided into three lines and fought from west to east along several main streets. When encountering areas with fierce resistance, they immediately called for artillery support and blew up the Japanese soldiers' strongholds. Behind the soldiers, there were ruins everywhere.

When they arrived at Zhong Street, the troops could no longer attack. The Japanese army changed their tactics, divided into groups of several people, and started a street fight with the troops. The attack points of both sides were intertwined, and the artillery fire also lost its effect. The casualties of the soldiers suddenly increased.

Sun Zhenbang immediately ordered the troops to stick to the existing positions and abandon the isolated and prominent positions. He did not entangle with the Japanese army and did not want to capture the county. There was no need to fight to the death with the Japs. Besides, the time was almost up and the purpose of the battle was achieved.

It's time to evacuate. You've taken enough advantage and stop when you're good.

Bai Lishan whispered a few words in his ear. Sun Zhenbang was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. He didn't expect that this guy was more greedy than himself. He was thinking about getting the supplies and ammunition of the Japanese army. It would be an unexpected gain to get rid of them. However, he only

Bai Lishan was given an hour and a half, and it was already around midnight. She County must be evacuated before dawn.

A burst of fierce artillery fire filled the Japanese position with smoke and dust. Bai Lishan and fifty soldiers quickly rushed into the night under the cover of the artillery fire. Seeing Bai Lishan's figure disappearing in the night, Sun Zhenbang felt inexplicable in his heart.

He was very nervous. This young man had given himself too many surprises tonight. He believed that he would not be disappointed this time.
